At Xiaoshan Airport in Hangzhou, Zhejiang, General Shunroku Hata, the Commander-in-Chief of the Japanese Expeditionary Forces in China who was stuck here due to heavy snowfall, finished his nap and was about to leave the office after getting dressed. Lieutenant General Jun Haremiya, Chief of General Staff, left with a dark expression. Come in,
"All of you, get out." He waved to the staff adjutants,
After they were all gone, Reincarnated walked to the door, bowed slightly to Shunroku Hata, handed him a telegram and said: "Sir, there is a call from the 11th Army. Please read it."
Infected by his look and behavior, Shunroku Hata realized that this telegram must be conveying bad information. He frowned slightly, opened the folder and read it carefully. After a few seconds, he raised his head and He threw the folder on the table fiercely and shouted: "Ba Ge, this kind of thing can actually happen, Okamura Neji, Okamura Neji," Hata Shunroku wanted to call Okamura Neji a pig, but When I thought that Harem Chun, who had just arrived, was not very close to me, I forced myself to hold it back.
"Your Excellency, Commander Okamura requested the 5th Army to attack the Shangrao Yingtan line first. What do you think?"
Shunroku Hata looked at the map behind him and asked him: "If the South China Front takes the initiative in southern Fujian and the 5th Army mainly attacks the Eagle Line, what will happen in northern Fujian?"
"But if we don't rescue it, I'm worried."
"Jun Gong, you should know the plan of the base camp. The reason why the 2nd Army did not join this battle is to keep an eye on Li Zongren and Yang Sen's troops. The Xuebing Army has three allies in total, Zhang Zizhong's Northwest Army, Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi The Gui Clan, Yang Sen's Sichuan Army, and these four Chinese warlord forces are, to a certain extent, on the same page. I almost forgot that there is also Fu Zuoyi in the northwest, who recently had a relationship with Zhang Zizhong and that Guo Da. Huang Haifu is very close. If we want to kill the Xuebingjun with one blow, we must prevent his friendly forces from launching counterattacks from other places. The base camp originally counted on Wang Jingwei and his Nanjing National Government, but as you have also seen, to So far, Wang Jingwei has not even been able to establish his own security force, and the safety of him and his close associates actually depends on our imperial army." At this point, Shunroku Hata shook his head helplessly: "The imperial alliance army in North China is currently A certain climate has been formed, but their leaders were frightened by the Xue Bing Army's anti-rape operations during this period. They were all as timid as mice and did not even dare to leave their strongholds. Speaking of which, the Imperial Army also had four soldiers in China. Ten divisions, but the Kwantung Army cannot move, nor can the North China Front Army and the 21st Army (which were dragged in the northwest region by Fu Zuoyi's Northwest Army and the troops of Guo Da and Huang Haifu), so they can only rely on As for the 1st Army, 2nd Army, 5th Army, 11th Army and the South China Front Army, the 11th Army must be saved. Otherwise, even if a breakthrough is made in southern and northern Fujian, the Xuebing Army will still have the depth of Guangxi. , Ouyang Yun still has the capital to give us a try. The most important thing is that once the Xuebing Army and the Ninth War Zone of the Chongqing Government of China are connected, the Chongqing Government will have no reason to stay away from the matter. It seems that , we can only give up Wuhan."
Nishio Hisao's 2nd Army paid a huge price to capture the three towns of Wuhan. The Army's five divisions and two mixed brigades took five months and cost more than 20,000 casualties. They invaded Hankou in November last year, and just when Ouyang Yun and Okamura Neji were fighting in Nanchang, Nishio Shouzou gathered the forces of two divisions, plus the Yangtze River Fleet, and was besieging Yichang.
If Yamamoto Isoroku hadn't persuaded the Japanese base camp and decided to deal with the student army once and for all, then the places where fierce fighting is still going on at this moment should be in Changsha and Yichang.
"Your Excellency, Wuhan has given up for the time being and can still fight back, but if the Xuebing Army is allowed to continue to grow, it will become a serious problem for the empire."
"Nishio-kun's 2nd Army has entered Jiangxi. Don't let Okamura know about this in advance. Harem-kun, have you carefully analyzed the battle report submitted by the 11th Army? Do you know why I am dissatisfied with Okamura's command? Just analyze it carefully." You will find that they fell into the trap set by the Xuebing Army step by step. I estimate that the territory of Jiangxi is now full of spies of the Xuebing Army. The guerrilla forces of the Xuebing Army are extremely penetrating. Matsui Iwane was heavily guarded, and they infiltrated and opened up base areas. In Jiangxi, the imperial army did not exist until the middle of this year. The guerrillas of the Xuebing Army must have developed a lot of underground armed forces in the local area. Okamura may be too He is eager to avenge Ma Dang. The right time, place and people do not match these three things, so he actually dares to divide his troops and attack. Harem Lord, you will be specifically responsible for the 2nd Army's entry into Gan. Remember, you must Urge the 11th Army to use all its strength to fight to the death with the cadet army, otherwise, they may not be able to drag the 2nd Army into the battlefield."
"Hai, sir, I know what to do." Harem Chun bent down and nodded, then withdrew.
Shunroku Hata watched him leave, looked at the Nanchang logo on the map, and sneered: "Ningji Okamura, you finally bowed your head."
After the Third Learned Division, the Eighth Learned Division and the Eighteenth Learned Division gathered in Xinjian County at about 3:30 in the afternoon, the commanders of the First Brigade of the Learned Third Division and the Eighteenth Learned Division asked Bai Liusu and Menkuili to fight, and they all wanted to fight. Immediately capture the Lion Gate to cooperate with the Second Academy Division to encircle and annihilate the West Route Army of the 11th Army led by Neji Okamura.
After Ouyang Yun weighed it up, he asked the 8th Xuexi Division to dispatch a brigade of heavy artillery to cooperate with the 52nd Xuexue Brigade of the 18th Xuexi Division to capture the Lion Gate before dark. Then, he ordered other troops to build defense lines on the spot to prepare for the attack. The 11th Division and the 112th Division were invading. Later, he called Qian Guangming and asked the 9th Xuexi Division to prepare for the attack. As soon as it got dark, he immediately marched towards Nanchang.
The reason why the Lion Gate must be captured was that Ouyang Yun was worried that the 2nd Xue Division would be besieged by the 11th Army's West Route Army. As long as the Lion Gate pass was captured, he could send troops to reinforce Gao'an at any time. In this way, even if Okamura Ningji decided to give up one corner and attack the 2nd Academy Division with all his strength, but he also had to worry that the main force of the West Route Army might be counterattacked by the Academy Army. If he wanted to keep troops for sniping, the heavy artillery unit of the 8th Academy Division existed, so the old Japanese should stay. How large a force will be deployed? As for why the Ninth Learning Division is allowed to launch operations after dark, this is completely bullying the Japanese because of their short legs.
At that time, although the Japanese 11th Division was only about 40 kilometers away from Nanchang, at their marching speed, the main force of the division would not be able to reach Nanchang for less than two or three hours, and the 112th Division was about 40 kilometers away from Nanchang at this time. There is still nearly 60 kilometers away. The mobility of this division is worse than that of the 11th Division. Their inherent disadvantage determines that they will be another fruitful harvest for Qian Guangming's Ninth Learning Division.
