The Great Victory or Defeat of Nanchang was like a plate of boiling water poured into the political situation of Japan and Japan in this icy winter, immediately melting many pieces of ice and triggering considerable personnel changes. Later that day, the Japanese troops flew to Tokyo
Under the supervision of Emperor Hirohito, the base camp came up with a new combat plan. Then, the former Minister of War, Seishiro Itagaki, immediately took the flight from Tokyo to Shanghai, and will fly from Shanghai to Anqing to serve as the new Chief of Staff of the China Expeditionary Force.
, responsible for commanding the battles in Jiangxi area.
It was at this imperial meeting that the new Prime Minister Yoneuchi Mitsumasa proposed the strategy of "using China to control China", and the emperor nominated Okamura Neiji as the military adviser to the puppet Nanjing government, commanding a team of personnel in five
The officer corps of about a thousand people trained a "new army" with a total strength of about 25 divisions for the puppet Nanjing government.
It's really incredible - you must know that Okamura Neiji was still surrounded by the cadet army at this time, and Nanchang was defeated. The army minister in the rear was implicated and demoted, but the direct commander at the front was actually only
He was reprimanded and given a symbolic fine of half a year's salary. However, no one in the Japanese base camp raised any objection to the emperor's decision, which is very interesting. When the news came out, the Japanese government and the public were immediately envious.
Voice: The emperor's favor is so great. Neji Okamura stepped on dog shit in Nanchang, and there was definitely more than one piece of shit.
Only three hours after Itagaki Seishiro arrived in Shanghai, Ouyang Yun knew the above information. At this time, it was already the second day after the victory of Nanchang. After he led his troops to surround Fengxin, he did not rush to launch an attack, but started from
The 2nd Academy Division and the 9th Academy Division each deployed a brigade. They first cooperated with the 17th Academy Division and the 7th Academy Brigade to encircle and annihilate the 145th Regiment of Shinzo Ikeda. Then, the 17th Academy Division ambushed the remaining troops of the Eastern Route Army of Yamamuro Munetake.
Later, the 17th Gakushu Division sent a regiment of armored troops to pursue and intercept, and captured Yamada Joji of the 112th Division alive. If Yamamuro Somu had not been rescued by his subordinates, his fate would have been the same as Yamada Joji.
In an air-raid shelter in Fengxin City, Okamura Neiji received a report from Yamamuro Munetake who had fled back to Madang. He learned that the Eastern Route Army had been completely destroyed and even Yamada Joji had been captured. The old Japanese just shook his head, but
He no longer even had the thought of being angry. After entering Fengxin City, the old Japanese handed over the defense task to Yoshimoto Sadatsuki and began to meditate like a thinker. This battle was lost too quickly and too miserably.
, the majestic Japanese Imperial Army actually seemed to be incapable of fighting. After delving into the reason, the old Japanese finally concluded: This failure was not the fault of war, but the gap in equipment was really too big.
Self-propelled artillery, repeating rifles, tanks that cannot be destroyed except by heavy-weight aerial bombs, a large number of infantry fighting vehicles... These standard weapons of the Xuebing Army flashed through the old devil's mind one by one, and the next moment he was horrified: Xuebing Army
When did the army's armament become so powerful? Compare it to the old-fashioned artillery that still needs to be towed by mules or military trucks. To fire a shot, you have to pull the bolt once and to fire five shots, you have to change the magazine.
Hey, a chariot with armor as fragile as a bun--this is the weaponry and equipment of the so-called second strongest army in the world? The old devil suddenly blushed when he thought about this.
"Rumble..." There was another explosion from the south gate. He knew that this was the Xuebing Army's shelling again, and his heart became more and more depressed. The old Japanese gritted his teeth and began to write quickly at his desk - "The power of the Xuebing Army"
, First, the weapons and equipment are extremely advanced, and there are plans... The second is that they have super mobility, and even the logistics troops have military cards to travel around. This not only allows their soldiers to conserve their physical strength, but also ensures the ability to move forward quickly; third,
Its special operations forces are very powerful and have an absolute upper hand in reconnaissance operations...
Okamura Neiji was writing furiously in the air-raid shelter, preparing to die for His Majesty the Emperor. At the general headquarters of the Xuebing Army five kilometers outside the east gate of Fengxin, five or six brigade commanders from each division gathered to find Ouyang
Yun Qingzhan is here.
"Commander-in-Chief, why don't you fight? The brothers are all gearing up, just waiting to beat up the little devil!"
Why not beat him? It's called beating a drowned dog. Ouyang Yun asked everyone to sit on an empty ammunition box, and asked You Xiaolian to serve hot tea one by one, and then handed over cigarettes one by one, until everyone's mouths were full of smoke.
He started to smoke and said: "The Eighth Division has no artillery shells. We will fight as soon as the supply convoy arrives!"
"Have you finished shooting so many artillery shells from the Eighth Division? This is -"
"As long as it can reduce troop casualties, no matter how many artillery shells are used, it is worth it. You must know that artillery shells are valuable but life is priceless -" Ouyang Yun was talking when Jiang Huangyong suddenly rushed in and said angrily: "Sir, sir
, bad food!”
"Um?"
"The Japanese arrested the people in the city and put them at the city gate. There were thousands of them. What should we do?"
At the beginning of the Battle of Nanchang, Ouyang Yun asked the guerrilla troops to mobilize residents in large towns to evacuate to the countryside or hide in the mountains. However, after heavy snow fell, the residents had no choice but to return to the city because there was nowhere to protect themselves from the cold. In this case,
The three cities of Fengxin, Jing'an and Anyi, which were recaptured by the Xuebing Army, became the first choice hiding places for the people. They had no choice but to do so, but they didn't expect that the little devils would now take advantage of them.
In the headquarters, everyone's expressions changed. Someone cursed: "*The little devils are so despicable, are they still soldiers?"
"The little devil has always been despicable and shameless. Swearing won't solve the problem. It's better to use your brain and think about what to do!"
Ouyang Yun: "Stop the shelling first, and call the troops to alert them to this situation. Well, if possible, organize manpower to evacuate the people away from the battlefield. Especially Anyi, Jing'an, Yongxiu, and Pan Yang, next
The battle in this stage should focus on these places."
Jiang Huangyong: “But what about Fengxin?”
"All we have to do is wait!"
"wait?"
"The Japanese will always give an explanation, but I don't believe it. They will always stay in Fengxin."
You Xiaolian: "Commander-in-Chief, I have a way to resolve this crisis!"
"Oh, tell me!"
"The Japanese are taking hostages. If they do it in the first grade, we will do it in the fifteenth. We can choose a team of elite soldiers to enter the city and kidnap Neji Okamura. The old devil fought such a huge defeat and only got scolded.
, This shows that he has a high status in the mind of the Little Japanese Emperor. As long as we can kidnap him, we can exchange him for the people in the city."
"What a great idea!" Several brigade commanders immediately agreed.
Ouyang Yun nodded and said: "The method is good, but it will be very difficult to implement it. The Japanese must have very strict protection!"
Jiang Huangyong: "I think we can give it a try, but there is no other good way. If the Japs hold the people hostage and evacuate north, what can we do except get out of the way?"
Ouyang Yun gritted his teeth: "Then let Lu Zhibai come over."
You Xiaolian: "Commander-in-Chief, this suggestion was made by me. I——"
"You can't. It would be too dangerous for a female soldier to be trapped in the enemy camp if she performs this mission!"
"Commander-in-Chief, aren't you discriminating against our female soldiers?"
Ouyang Yun frowned and asked Liu Kui to call Lu Zhibai over immediately.
