Anti-Japanese heroic righteousness

It is precisely because of Jiang Haoran's suffering that Okamura Ningji was bitten by a snake once and was afraid of well ropes for ten years.Therefore, even if he saw through Jiang Haoran's intentions, he didn't dare to rush forward easily, even if he chose to attack the New Fourth Army in the north by the way, and then quickly retreat to the safe direction of Huangshan with a division and two regiments.

But Jiang Haoran never thought that the biggest reason Okamura Ningji did this was because before he was transferred, he did not seek meritorious deeds, but only sought no faults, so he would settle for second best, otherwise his casualties would be even greater .

Although Jiang Haoran and even Mr. Su were defeated by Ningji Okamura in this battle, they did not gain anything. Because of the retreat of the Japanese 140th Division, Quzhou was temporarily safe. From a strategic point of view, it was already It worked.

On the second day after the war, Mr. Su's telegram came, taking all the responsibility for the battle on himself, and begging Jiang Haoran to punish him.

Of course, Jiang Haoran would not be so lackadaisical. He called back immediately and analyzed the reasons for the failure of the battle. The responsibility lies with him, Jiang Hao, but not Mr. Su, so let him not have any worries, not to mention that they are not without gains, at least in Quzhou With the vast area of ​​Huangshan, because of the retreat of the Japanese 140th Division, the Japanese Communist Party and the New Fourth Army can be allowed to develop and consolidate at will for the time being, and it has also brought a new situation to the stability of Quzhou.

In the next few days, Mr. Su gave full play to their advantages again and mobilized more common people to join in the construction of the fortifications. With the shipment of a large amount of cement and steel from the 331 base, permanent fortifications such as bunkers and reinforced concrete along the line , also began to appear row upon row on the hundreds of miles long defense line of Yingtan and Quzhou.

For half a month, the Japanese army seemed to have forgotten the three cities of Quzhou, Shangrao, and Yingtan, and did not launch any military operations again. Except for the occasional reconnaissance plane passing by, there was no other movement.

Of course Jiang Haoran was so happy. After half a month of rest and recuperation, a large number of wounded soldiers basically recovered, and the troops were considered to have completed their rest. The conscription work was also carried out smoothly in various places. Because Jiang Haoran ran the army strictly, the troops basically would not harass the common people. He also took the initiative to give the common people a lot of care, such as controlling the soaring prices and transferring food to cope with the shortage of food.The three cities are gradually getting on the right track under Jiang Haoran's governance.

Because the Japanese army has been entrenched here for many years, it has created a lot of pro-Japanese elements, and basically these pro-Japanese elements are big households and rich men in the city and the countryside. Jiang Haoran has no mercy on these people, and ransacked their homes. Not to mention, all the rich and bully in the village were shot to death, and all their properties and houses were confiscated, but Jiang Haoran did not launch the land reform movement in advance.Firstly, my current status is not suitable for this job, and secondly, the economy of the Kuomintang-controlled area is still in the hands of these rich people. Once the land reform is implemented by myself, the people in the Kuomintang-controlled area will definitely be in chaos, causing uncontrollable panic.

In fact, there is really no way to win over the common people that can surpass the land reform. The gcd can quickly gain the support of the common people, largely thanks to the land reform. Having land in the hands of the poor means that Their children and grandchildren can have enough food to eat, which has solved their hundred-year livelihood. Who can not support or support them, and if anyone dares to touch their jobs, they will definitely fight with them with a hoe.

Also because of the large amount of property he got from these big households and rich men, Jiang Haoran didn’t even need to use the treasury of the 331 base, and he could completely supply the two armies’ deficit military expenses, maintain the city’s daily expenses, and even give appropriate amount to the common people in the fortifications. Distributing some hard-earned money, as well as providing fixed-point and rationed porridge to refugees twice a day, is more than enough.

Because Jiang Haoran will never deduct military pay, and their troops are paid in full at five yuan a month, and they have enough white flour, steamed buns and rice every day. The office has been overcrowded for more than ten consecutive days, but not everyone is so lucky to be a member of the army. Those with bad deeds, those who are too thin, and even those who are not flexible enough are excluded.

At the end of October 1939, Ningji Okamura caused strong dissatisfaction in the base camp due to several defeats, and was transferred back to the mainland to serve as a military councilor, which was regarded as a cold bench.The new commander of the No.10 Army was replaced by Lieutenant General Anan Weiji, and the chief of staff remained the same, still Isamu Kinoshita.In terms of base camp, Hideki Tojo took office ahead of schedule and served as Prime Minister of Japan, and General Toshiro Hata, the commander of the Central China Dispatch Army, was also transferred back to the mainland to serve as Minister of Army.

Because in the previous battles, the divisions of the No.11 Army of the Japanese Army were severely damaged, especially the permanent elite divisions like the Second Division, which basically only preserved their organizational system. Strictly speaking, they no longer have the conditions for combat. It was decided to conduct a major exchange of troops in Central China.

在接下来的两个月时间里，日军将华中地区受损的部队逐一撤回本土或是华北休整，No.11军全面换血。下辖第三师团、第四师团、第五师团、No.13师团、No.30四师团、No.30九师团、No.40师团、及独立混成旅团No.15、十八、二十旅团。

Four standing divisions, elite divisions, three Type B divisions, and three independent mixed brigades had a total strength of 23, not counting the nearly [-] puppet troops of the Wang puppet government.

The No.11 Army's combat scope covers Hunan, Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Hubei, Henan, and Anhui, but it is mainly aimed at Jiang Haoran's troops. Among them, the third and fourth divisions are stationed on the line from Nanchang to De'an, and the fifth division Stationed in Jingdezhen, No.13 Division in Huangshan, other divisions and mixed brigades in Yueyang, Wuhan, Jiujiang and along the Yangtze River.

Lieutenant General Sawada Shigeru served as the commander of the No.13 Army of the Japanese Army, Major General Takashi Sakai, the chief of staff, under the jurisdiction of the Seventh Division, the No.15 Division, the No.20 Second Division, the 117th Division, and the independent mixed brigade No. .11th, 23th, 15th, and [-]th brigades, and six divisions of the Royal Association Army, with a total strength of [-], and the combat area is in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Among them, the Wenzhou and Lishui lines are composed of the Seventh Division and the No.[-] Division Garrison.

Although the Japanese army carried out such a large-scale exchange of blood in Central China, it did not launch an attack on Quzhou, Shangrao, Yingtan and other places occupied by Jiang Haoran. In the midst of the battle, a strategy of tolerance was adopted towards Jiang Haoran.
