Tokugawa Yoshitoshi was very crazy. After receiving a telegram from Okamura Neiji asking for assistance, he sent out almost all the bombers that could fly. Under the indiscriminate bombing of more than 200 bombers of various types, the surrounding areas of Nanchang The areas, no matter how big they were, or where they could hide their troops, were all devastated by the Japanese army's indiscriminate bombing.
The third wave of Japanese bombers flew away from the sky over Nanchang. Connor had just breathed a sigh of relief and sighed that when hell was finally over, the fourth wave of enemy planes once again appeared in the sight of the Xuebing Army lookout.
The news quickly spread back to the temporary headquarters. Even Ouyang Yun couldn't help but change his expression and said: "And..." Jiang Huangyong was stunned when he heard this. The next moment, he threw himself at the table next to him, picked up the phone and shouted : "Quickly, pick me up from the Eighth Master."
The call was quickly connected. When Jiang Huangyong shouted on the phone, asking Zhang Tianquan to postpone the departure, Connor looked at Ouyang Yun, with a look of shock on his face at first, and then shook his head repeatedly: "It's crazy, it's so crazy. Yes, the Eighth Division is artillery, do you want them to come here and die?"
Ouyang Yun touched his nose, looked at Jiang Huangyong, and said, "Let the Eighteenth Division also go back and tell them when to dispatch and follow my orders."
"yes."
In Xilu Township, on the ruins of a house that was emitting light white smoke, Okamura Neiji held up his binoculars and looked in the direction of Nanchang. Three minutes later, he put down his binoculars and descended from the ruins. He said to Nakashima Jingcun: "The Chinese people The artillerymen should have fled far away, Nakajima-kun, I was too greedy for credit for the early morning raid."
Nakajima said softly but firmly: "Your Excellency, since Ouyang Yun is personally leading the troops to the north, I dare to say that he will never give up Nanchang. Nanchang is surrounded by water on three sides, making it easy to defend and difficult to attack. From Nanchang to Ganzhou, it is a flat plain. There is no danger to defend. If Ouyang Yun abandons Nanchang, how will he stop our army from going south."
"That's what I said, but why do I feel that Nanchang is simply an empty city? Along the way, although we found a large area of destroyed positions, we saw so many corpses of cadet soldiers. Don't you think this is strange? Maybe, Ouyang Yun has completely given up on Nanchang."
This was something Nakajima couldn't understand. He could not have guessed that Ouyang Yun had only left one regiment of air defense troops and one brigade of pure infantry in Nanchang, and these troops could survive as long as they drilled into underground air raid shelters. During the intensive bombing of the First Air Corps, the Japanese army discovered a large number of combat vehicles of the Cadet Corps during their reconnaissance on the 25th. These combat vehicles suddenly disappeared from the Japanese sight. This inevitably made people suspicious. "Your Excellency, is it? Instead of asking Lord Tokugawa to strengthen reconnaissance efforts, I always feel that it cannot be that simple." Nakajima thought for a while and said,
Okamura nodded, and was about to ask Yoshimoto Sadji to ask him to call Tokugawa Yoshitoshi. The latter came over with a telegram and reported: "Your Excellency, the enemy situation report just sent by Lord Tokugawa, they are in Elephant Mountain Also, a large number of enemy troops have been discovered in Gao'an. In addition, there are also considerable enemy troops in Anyi County. Sir, why do I feel that we seem to have entered a pocket now?"
Okamura was shocked when he heard this. He squatted down and marked the locations of Nanchang, Xiangshan, Gao'an, and Anyi on the ground, and then marked the locations of each of his own army units. He looked up at a few books and Nakajima glanced at him and said: "Study The defensive formation put up by the soldiers really looks like a pocket. Then, there should be an enemy army lurking in the south of Nanchang. Yoshimoto, please call Tokugawa back immediately and ask him to continue reconnaissance and be sure to find the enemy who appeared early this morning. Military artillery."
Yoshimoto took the order and left. Okamura stood up and explained to Nakajima: "Judging from Ouyang Yun's formation, he used Nanchang as a bait. With the current strength of our army, he actually swallowed this piece alive." There’s nothing wrong with the bait, but we must find the location of the artillery that appeared in the early morning. This will be the biggest threat to our army.”
Nakajima nodded, his eyes swept over the azimuth map Okamura hastily drawn, he raised his head and glanced at Okamura and said: "Sir, I have an idea. Since we have seen through Ouyang Yun's intention, why? If you don't follow the plan, take Gao'an first, you see." He squatted down, drew a line from where his troops were, along the Gan River to Fengcheng County, forty kilometers southwest of Nanchang, and said, "We can dispatch A regiment pretended to attack Fengcheng, and then suddenly attacked Meilin opposite Fengcheng, captured Meilin, quickly moved westward, and then cut off the Gao'an enemy's southward path." As he said, he was in the northeast of Anyi County. Mark Qili Ridge, and draw a line from here to cut directly between Anyi and Gao'an, and then said: "The Yasuda United Force is still in the direction of Qili Ridge at the moment, let them cut across directly, cutting off Gao'an and Anyi. The retreat route of the defenders, then if we dispatch another unit from the direction of Dacheng to cooperate with their actions, we can first encircle and annihilate the defenders of Gao'an, and then annihilate the enemies of Anyi."
Okamura also squatted down. He carefully looked at the troop dispatch route marked by Nakajima, and said: "Let's do it like this, Mr. Nakajima. I will give you full command of the battle in the direction of Gao'an. In the direction of Nanchang, let Hengshan Yong continues the attack. This will not only confuse the Xuebing Army, but also capture Nanchang in one fell swoop if the defense force is as weak as we saw. As long as Nanchang can be captured, there will be no threat to Xiangshan's Xuebing Army. "
Nakajima stood up and responded respectfully: "Hai, sir, I'm going."
Okamura stood up and nodded,
A regiment of Japs left the main force of the Japanese army and went upstream along the Gan River. The frontline scouts of the Xuebing Army quickly detected this scene. Ten minutes later, Ouyang Yun received the report, and he placed this scene on the combat map. The forward direction of a regiment was marked, and Jiang Huangyong was asked behind him: "What do you think?"
Jiang Huangyong said: "The little devils must have ulterior motives. How stupid are they? Don't they know that the current Ganjiang River can be passed directly? But, what is their real intention? Directly attack Ganzhou, or turn westward? Cutting off the Second Division's way back south requires further observation."
Ouyang Yun smiled: "What are you still observing? They are definitely heading towards Zheliang and the others. You should contact Tiange as soon as possible to find out where they are and ask them to move closer to Jingan County immediately."
"OK."
Jiang Huangyong nodded and contacted Chu Tiange.
Where was Chu Tiange at this time? Wuning County, forty kilometers northwest of Jingan County, and the final destination of their trip would be Jiujiang.
After the victory of the Lions, the guerrillas were divided into two parts. Among them, the third guerrilla division was taken to northeastern Jiangxi by Jiang Tiezhang, while the remaining troops of the first and second guerrilla divisions and the troops directly under the headquarters were taken to northwest Jiangxi by Chu Tiange. They originally played the role of iron pliers, which Ouyang Yun planned to use to block the 11th Army's northward retreat. But now because Okamura Neiji has other thoughts, the Chu Tiange Department is going to show up in advance.
