It was when the Ninth Learning Division, under the command of Ouyang Yun, let off the attack on the 33rd Division in the snow, Okamura Neji led the 106th Division in Jiujiang, Ouyang Yun's side launched the attack, Okamura's side Then he received a report from Jutaro Amari. After receiving the report, he discussed it with Chief of Staff Yoshimoto Sadatsuki and agreed that Gakuinjun was crazy.
After the First Air Corps completed two reinforcement battles, Tokugawa Yoshitoshi sent a telegram to Okamura to report the battle situation. It was precisely because they knew that the Gakuin Army tank unit and armored vehicle unit had suffered heavy losses that Okamura and Yoshimoto agreed that Gakuin Army If the soldiers attack in the snow without chariot troops, it is a lose-lose strategy and is the act of a lunatic.
"Gan Can decided to take advantage of the chaos to break out. I think it is a good idea. As long as they can leave the Lion Gate, they can go anywhere next. And as long as they can persist for three days, we can definitely capture Nanchang and join them." Okamura looked at the map and said,
Yoshimoto agreed, saying: "The temperature suddenly dropped sharply, which is very beneficial to us. As long as this weather lasts for two days, Panyang Lake will freeze. By then, Lieutenant General Yamamuro and Lieutenant General Yamada will be able to lead their troops on the ice. Cross Panyang Lake and go straight to Nanchang."
After analysis, Okamura and Yoshimoto both believed that the battle in the southwest of Xinjian County would only be beneficial to the 33rd Division, so they did not express too much concern. At about 11:10, when Amami's second When a telegram was sent, the two of them were dumbfounded. Okamura first shouted: "Impossible, why do the Chinese have so many tanks? This, couldn't this be because Aman Cang was dazzled?"
Gibbon said worriedly: "Could it be that the Xuebing Army is heading north in large numbers this time? It would be nice if reconnaissance planes could be dispatched in this damn snowy day. Oh no, no, the snow has become lighter."
Okamura let out a long sigh and said: "The sweet rice is ready to be broken into pieces. I didn't expect that we were still a step too late."
"I don't know what's going on with Little Nugget City in the Xigang area. He still has a large force on his hands. If he can capture the Lion Gate quickly, Lord Ganjiu should still have a chance."
"It's too late."
Just when Okamura received the telegram from Ganjiang that he had decided to break up the jade, Xiaoju from Xigang received the same telegram five minutes later. The brigade brought out by Xiaoju had already lost more than 400 people. After reading the telegram, he was stunned for a few minutes, and then decided to evacuate the battlefield immediately and retreat to the Mengshan Reservoir.
The Xiaoju tribe retreated in time, and if they had evacuated only an hour and a half late, they would have definitely been surrounded and annihilated by the Feng Lanshan tribe.
The news that the Japanese troops in Xigang escaped from Xigang quickly reached Chu Tiange's ears. At first, he didn't pay much attention to it. There were less than one group of Japanese soldiers and lacked heavy weapons. At this time, there was only one Japanese army on the battlefield in Nanchang. They were nothing more than ants. However, when a small group of soldiers sent by Feng Lanshan were ordered to go to Qianqian Village to investigate the enemy's situation and discovered the tragedy there, Chu Tiange was furious. He immediately reported the matter to Ouyang Yun, and After Ouyang Yun sent Liu Zheliang and a group of foreign reporters to the trench to confirm the matter, he was extremely angry and issued the following order: From now on, no prisoners will be taken on the battlefield in Jiangxi. In addition: Little Nugget City, etc. are wanted for large sums of money nationwide. The Japanese who participated in the "Qianqian Village Massacre" did not care whether they were dead or alive.
That night, after Ouyang Yun left the 2nd Xue Division to garrison in Gao'an, he took most of the 3rd Xue Division (the 7th Xue Brigade was left in Anyi County and will build a line of defense in the comfortable Tanxi Township) to the 8th Xue Division. , Xue Ninth Division, Xue Seventeenth Division, Xue Eighth Division crossed Xiushui and entered Nanchang,
At around ten o'clock that night, in the guerrilla headquarters, Ouyang Yun, Jiang Huangyong, Bai Liusu, Zhang Tianquan, Qian Guangming, Arthur, Menkuili and the guerrillas gathered together to discuss the arrangements for the next war.
In order to intercept the 33rd Division west of the Lion Gate, the guerrillas paid a heavy price. This was a helpless and necessary thing. After this battle, the "old bandits" of the guerrillas finally understood that they could not compete with the regular army. For example, the guerrillas are indeed not suitable for positional warfare. The equipment and tactical concepts are different. The guerrillas are destined to be suitable for making an elusive sharp knife, but they cannot be used as hammers or hammers.
When summarizing the gains and losses in the battle at Lions Gate, Ouyang Yun did not hesitate to praise the first and second guerrilla divisions, and gave more than half of the credit for the annihilation of the 33rd Division to the guerrillas.
"Lao Feng is not simple. He usually spends money and money, but this time he behaved with such high integrity. Don't laugh, I am serious." Ouyang Yun said this topic very seriously, but Feng Lanshan The image of being greedy for petty gains is deeply ingrained in the minds of the senior generals of the Xuebing Army. Therefore, a very solemn topic suddenly changed due to the snickers of some people, and Ouyang Yun was not exempt from the vulgarity in the end, and actually also exposed it. smile,
This made Feng Lanshan very unhappy. He stood up and said: "Why are you laughing? I really prepared to be a good person today, but I didn't expect that I would not be fooled. If the little devil really used all the bombs to greet us, Xiao Liu and the others will never be so miserable, and they can even win."
"Lao Feng, what you said is wrong. It's too speculative. Ah, I'm not talking about you, I'm talking about Commander Liu." Jiang Huangyong said: "The Second Division has almost no anti-aircraft weapons. When they were bombed by the first wave of Japanese planes, We should prepare for air defense operations instead of preparing for attack."
"Xiao Liu probably wanted to resolve the battle as soon as possible. Who would have thought that there would be such a heavy snowfall next? Without this snow, the Japanese army would have landed on the west bank of Panyang Lake by now, and with the 11th Division Given the regiment's equipment situation, Jiang Tiezhang's third division is no match at all, so the result may still be a Lion Gate defensive battle," Chu Tiange said,
Ouyang Yun: "The weather has dropped sharply. Next, we have to consider the possible closure of the river. I estimate that if the severe cold continues, it will take up to three days to close Xiushui, Ganjiang River, Panyang Lake and the large and small lakes in Nanchang." , it is possible to seal the river. At that time, the Japanese army will march straight in. Everyone, if there are no accidents, this will be the last large-scale combat meeting after we enter Jiangxi. If you have any ideas, please tell us."
The meeting lasted for three and a half hours, and the focus of the discussion at the end of the meeting fell on the issue of air defense.
Along the coast of Zhejiang and Fujian, the Japanese Navy's combined fleet has begun to organize large-scale bombings. In the direction of Zhejiang, the Second Air Corps and the Fifth Air Corps, which are affiliated with the Japanese China Expeditionary Force, are gathering at Hangzhou Xiaoshan Airport. The Japanese have made such a big bomb. The action has only one purpose, which is to use the numerical advantage to consume the limited air force of the Cadet Army. Under this situation, it becomes unrealistic for the air force to go north to support.
Feng Lanshan was lucky enough to witness the scene of Japanese fighter planes attacking the tanks of the Second Academy Division, and was particularly impressed. Therefore, he was also particularly concerned about this issue. He kindly reminded Ouyang Yun: "Commander-in-Chief, the Japanese new fighter planes have the ability to withstand strikes." It has been greatly strengthened. If we continue to use the same old air defense methods, I personally feel that the effect will not be too great."
Ouyang Yun was very confident about this. He said boldly: "The Japanese's newly modified Type 99 and Falcon have indeed become the biggest threat to our army, but don't worry, everyone. As far as anti-aircraft weapons are concerned, we The military is already at the forefront of the world. Hehe, unless the Japanese aircraft can really have the protective capabilities of Baiji Dolphin or Sky Fortress, otherwise, the Japanese will find out that in front of our Xuebing Army, their so-called new fighter planes are still just paper planes. That’s all.”
