Chapter 420 IX A Brand New Day in Nanchang City

During the three-day war of words between the Chongqing government and the Japanese, Nanchang City became an unscrupulous purgatory. On April 1939, 18, the No.20 day when the heroic division stood alone in Nanchang City, the Japanese No.[-] The Second Division broke into the city at the same time from the two collapsed city walls in the south of the city, and launched a fierce street battle with the defenders. The earth bridge that was originally thought to kill the Quartet was stunned by the casualties of the troops once, and there were booby traps and bombs everywhere. Snipers, either dig a hole on the side of the road and squat in it, waiting for the brigade to pass by, then jump up and shoot the wounded who detonated the cluster grenade.

Inside and outside the front, there are small groups of Chinese troops interspersed with activities, constantly attacking scattered small Japanese troops and individual soldiers, attacking the Japanese forward headquarters, and killing officers. Now the No.20 Second Division has no officers. Dare to wear woolen military uniforms, leather boots, and command knives. Even the binoculars are collected by orderlies. The tragic street fighting caused the casualties of the No.20 Second Division to increase sharply. Will casualties be greater than siege operations?The battle that should have ended as soon as possible has become a new battlefield?

The master of this battlefield is the Chinese defenders. This is a massacre field they prepared for the imperial army. The imperial army who has not received street fighting training and lacks the necessary weapons has suffered heavy casualties in the street fighting.Anti-Japanese Blood Sacrifice Mountains and Rivers 75429

After three consecutive days of bloody battles, the Japanese army captured more than half of Zhongzheng Square. In the southeast corner, there were about a hundred remnants of the Chinese defenders who used the bell tower to shoot at the Japanese army frequently. So Ushidao dispatched heavy artillery to blow up the bell tower. It was obviously a battle. It was far from over. In the two-fifths of the urban area occupied by the Japanese army that invaded the city from three directions, there were still a large number of guerrilla squads of the Chinese defenders active. It was extremely difficult for the Japanese army to wipe out these squads.

The two main peaks of Jiuling and Mufu have become the sad and tearful highlands of the Japanese army. Neiji Okamura is very dissatisfied with the effect of the general attack. Countless changes can occur in three days. Another airdrop by the Chinese Air Force two days ago , although it was intercepted by the aviation unit of the Imperial Army and four of them were shot down, a large amount of supplies fell into the area guarded by the Chinese army and captured two-fifths of the urban area, but every offensive step was There are mountains of corpses and seas of blood. In the past, the Imperial Army collected corpses while fighting, but this time the corpses were completely abandoned. This is because the battle was too fierce and the number of corpses was too large.

Neiji Okamura paced back and forth in the front headquarters of No.11 Army, which was temporarily set up. It was obviously hopeless to conquer Nanchang within two days. Only by occupying the front line of Zhongzheng Square could he really touch the central military position of Gao Fei's headquarters. , Since the arrival of the main force of the squadron on March 24, even the shelling and bombing did not stop the construction of fortifications. The first fortification is a ring-shaped fortification system centered on the central bank of the Nanchang Nationalist Government with an area of ​​two kilometers. The strength of the central bank It can resist the direct hit of 150mm grenades. Up to five fortifications are all equipped with closed trenches and various firepower points. Even in the trenches, ring-shaped firepower support points, deep trenches and high forts, dense firepower points and a large number of firepower points are built. The tanks serving as mobile firepower moved in the trenches, a large number of anti-aircraft guns and mortars, 75mm mountain artillery distributed in the center of the circular position, and German 88mm anti-aircraft guns in the key support bunkers.
