It soon became dark. After fighting for so long, the Japanese army already knew that the Central Team attacking Nanchang had no cannons, searchlights were on all the strongholds, and they also fought night battles with the 26th Division.
The commander of the 26th Division, Liu Yuqing, was originally the Sichuan Army. He and Guo Rudong jointly established the 43rd Army system of the Sichuan Army. During the Battle of Shanghai, Liu Yuqing led the 26th Division to defend the Dachang position for seven days and seven nights. The Japanese army charged four to six times a day at the 26th Division position.
, and used tanks to charge wildly. Liu Yuqing led the 26th Division to skillfully use terrain to deal with Japanese tanks with cluster grenades, and fought with the enemy with big swords in close combat and night battles. Although the position was captured by the Japanese army several times, it was all taken back by the 26th Division. At that time, 26
Although each company only has three light machine guns and the soldiers are made of Hanyang, they are all veterans who came out of warlords' melee battles. Most of the officers and soldiers are good at martial arts and have extremely strong melee combat capabilities. Just this, when they handed over the position, the 26th Division
Only 2 regiment commanders survived in 4 regiments, 12 battalion commanders and more than 300 company platoon leaders were killed, with only more than 600 officers and soldiers remaining, which was equivalent to annihilation of the entire army. The blood condensed into the image of the Sichuan Army and reshaped the Zhong***
The dignity of the team is one of the five best divisions on the Songhu battlefield.
After the Battle of Shanghai, Chiang Kai-shek did not cancel the Laochuan Army who was stranded in central China, and personally ordered the reconstruction of the 26th Division in Wuning. After completing the supplementary training, he directly drove to the Hukou front line and re-entered the fierce battle.
One-third of the casualties are once again regarded as the main force of combat efforts.
Due to the Battle of Shanghai and the record of defending Hukou, Liu Yuqing was very confident in the combat effectiveness of his troops. The problem now is that the troops were stuck in the Japanese army and divided. The 78th Brigade could not be contacted, so he could only rely on the 70th Clan.
The Sixth Brigade and the 237th Regiment rushed to Nanchang.
This night, there was fierce fighting in Gaofang area, and the sound of gunfire was shocking.
The next day, at dawn on May 6, the Japanese army began to launch a large-scale attack on the 76th Brigade and the 237th Regiment. Six Japanese planes continued to bomb and strafuse over the positions, and casualties of the troops rose sharply.
Chen Anbao, who had unknown enemy situation, was still thinking about attacking Nanchang City, and ordered all troops to calmly respond and prepare to break through the enemy's encirclement after dark and continue to advance towards Nanchang.
The first to be defeated by the Japanese army was the 237th Regiment of the 79th Division.
Due to the lack of air defense firepower, Japanese aircraft can dive and drop bombs at low altitude. Under the double strikes of Japanese aircraft and artillery fire, the 237th Regiment was completely divided and surrounded and dispersed by the Japanese army.
At this time, Chen Anbao and Liu Yuqing, who had been in the battle formation for a long time, realized that something was wrong, but it was impossible to break through in broad daylight, so they could only hope to support the troops and organize their troops to break through until dark.
At one o'clock noon, a group of Japanese troops launched a fierce attack on the northwest highland of Tongshu Temple, the commanding heights of the battlefield under the cover of airplanes and cannons.
The troops of the 153rd Regiment of the 76th Brigade were guarding the northwest highland of Tongshu Temple. Xie Beiting, the commander of the 153rd Regiment, knew the importance of the commanding heights to the entire battlefield, and brought the staff and guards to the position.
The Japanese army rushed up and was beaten down, and rushed up and down, which had been repeated three times. The front of the position was covered with the bodies of the Japanese and their brothers, and some were entangled with each other and could no longer be separated.
From crossing the river last night until now, without even closing his eyes, Xie Beiting was so tired that his bones were almost disintegrated. While the Japanese were suppressed, Xie Beiting left a surveillance watch and took his brothers to the other side of the high ground.
On the ground, I called the adjutant to take out all the cigarettes and distribute them to the brothers. If you die, you will be killed. At least you can let the brothers enjoy the cigarette addiction.
After smoking a cigarette, Xie Beiting felt energetic and set up the dragon gate formation. He spoke to Yang Sen: "Muwa, you know where Commander Yang has so many wives that he can't even control himself, so he had to let the guards
The team is responsible for the management. When they get up every morning, the belt will be pulled up if they run slowly. After the running exercises, the beating concubine has to ask the adjutant to help with the medicine. Guawa, I tell you, that's all
She is a fairy-like girl, with her white butt, which makes people dazzled!"
The 26th Division belongs to the 43rd Army of the Sichuan Army. The first commander Guo Rudong and Yang Sen got into trouble and then they joined the Central Committee. Xie Beiting is an old member of the 26th Division. The first thing to do is to set up the dragon gate formation is Yang Sen.
Before he finished speaking, the sound of shells flying came. Xie Beiting opened his mouth and cursed: "Dog Japanese, are you anxious to reincarnate? I can't set up a dragon gate formation! Brothers, fuck you guys, beat it up
of!"
The shelling was stronger than the previous three times and lasted longer. By the time Xie Beiting brought his brothers into the position, the Japanese had already touched it.
Xie Beiting roared and fired, and the pistol opened fire, knocking a Japanese man down the mountain.
The machine guns and rifles on the position were fired.
When Xie Beiting saw that the Japanese army was powerful, he was about to use his position. He picked up a big knife and jumped out of the foxglove and rushed straight to a Japanese to kill him. At this moment, a Japanese sniper in the distance aimed at him, one
The bullet flew over, Xie Beiting cursed "Damn it" and then fell backwards.
Chen Anbao saw the Japanese army rushing to the commanding heights from the telescope, directly threatening the safety of the entire army, and immediately ordered the reserve team to attack.
Chief of Staff Xu Zhixu reported that there was no reserve team anymore.
Chen Anbao shouted: "Military spies, all the people with guns come with me and kill the Japanese!"
After shouting, Chen Anbao took out his pistol and rushed towards the commanding heights. Chief of Staff Xu Zhixu and commander Liu Yuqing of the 26th Division rushed forward when they saw the commander rushing forward, and rushed forward with the military spies.
The Japanese army had just reached the commanding heights and had no time to expand the gap. Chen Anbao and the others rushed up at the right time. The spies lined up grenades and threw them together, and the Japanese who rushed to the position were so angry that they called their parents. They retreated and the position was temporarily consolidated.
Unfortunately, after Xie Beiting died in his country, Liu Yuqing, the commander of the 26th Division, was also injured and shot in the leg.
It was already four o'clock in the afternoon.
By five o'clock in the afternoon, the enemy-to-we-in-one battles in the left-wing dragon were in a melee, and the troops were completely wiped out by the Japanese invaders at any time.
The reserve team had already gone to the battlefield and there were no more troops to be adjusted. Chen Anbao was anxious and despite the dissuasion of Chief of Staff Xu Zhixu, he rushed to Longli with his entourage to supervise the battle, hoping to suppress the Japanese army and rescue the troops.
The group ran among the ridges, and the Japanese immediately discovered it, especially Chen Anguo and Chief of Staff Xu Zhixu's general's uniforms became an obvious sign. It seemed that the Japanese Japanese's shells fell down when they ran to Yaozhuang.
Chen Anbao ran and shouted: "Run quickly! It's safe to rush over!"
A shell fell down, throwing Chen Anbao high and then falling to the ground.
Chief of Staff Xu Zhixu shouted "Protective Commander", rushed up, hugged Chen Anguo who was falling to the ground, and after a brief look, he saw a shrapnel *** the part of Chen Anbao's heart, blood was outward
Spray. After trying your breath again, there was no breath anymore.
Xu Zhixu and several entourages carried Chen Anguo's body and ran away. They finally rushed through the Japanese artillery interceptor belt, and then they guarded Chen Anguo on the ground and took off their hats to express their grief.
Chen Anguo's sacrifice announced the failure of the 29th Army's operation to capture Nanchang. When Zhou Zhiqun, the brigade commander of the 76th Brigade, led the troops to cover the 29th Army's chief of staff Xu Zhixu, the 26th Division commander Liu Yuqing and Chen Anguo's bodies broke out, the 76th Brigade
There are only one thousand people left in the 237th Regiment.
Luo Zhuoying received a report of Chen Anbao's death on the morning of May 7.
Looking at the spring scenery outside the window, tears from Luo Zhuoying's eyes kept dripping down. From the 74th Army crossed the Jinjiang River on the 20th to the attack on Gao'an's enemy, the bloody battle has been fought for half a month, crippled the 29th Army and sacrificed Chen Anbao
, After shooting Duan Langru, Nanchang City was still in the hands of the Japanese army. How did the good combat plan become like this now?
Luo Zhuoying choked and issued an order, and the 29th Army withdrew from Fuhe Line to deploy defense. He Ping, commander of the 16th Division, violated the military order and failed to cut off the Nanxun Line and Xiangtang Highway according to the combat plan, which affected the progress of the battle situation. The division commander was instructed to lead his troops to complete the Sha Port.
Tan's attack mission.
After receiving Luo Zhuoying's telegram, Shangguan Yunxiang, commander of the 32nd Army, knew that the counterattack against Nanchang had ended, and his main 29th Army suffered heavy losses. Disheartened, Shangguan Yunxiang took a step further and ordered the whole thing.
The group army stopped the offensive, the 29th Army, the 102nd Division and the 10th Division were launched at the Fuhe Line, and the 16th Division also stopped the offensive of Shabutan and stood on the spot.
At this time, the two mountain artillery companies assigned to the 29th Army to serve as the siege firepower support mission overcame many obstacles and rushed to the Fuhe line to report to the 29th Army.
Xu Zhixu, chief of staff of the 29th Army, looked at the artillery battalion commander and two company commanders, looked at him, slapped a few times, kicked him a few times, and told them that the commanders of the 29th Army were all killed in battle and the troops were all
It was almost done, and the artillery was useless. Let them pull up the cannons and report to Commander-in-Chief Shangguan Yunxiang in a running manner.
As early as May 5, when Xue Yue failed to attack the 5th Division on the 78th Brigade, he understood that it was purely a joke to attack the Japanese army without the support of heavy artillery. However, he did not dare to offend Chiang Kai-shek, so he had to
I sent a call to Chen Cheng and asked Chen Cheng to report to Chiang Kai-shek that the task of capturing Nanchang was difficult to complete.
After learning about the counterattack of Nanchang, Bai Chongxi, the director of the Guilin camp, sent an opinion to Chairman Jiang and asked him to retreat in a tactful manner: "We must not only fail to achieve the attack of our army on the enemy. The enemy in Nanchang is ready.
, and our army has made every effort to attack for several days. In order to consider morale and high strategic principles, we plan to ask Nanchang to continue to siege with one of the troops, and organize two-thirds of them separately, and still publicize and actively attack and plunder.
In fact, it changes the target of attack."
After receiving the telegram from Xue Yue, Chen Cheng was deeply saddened by the heavy losses of the troops and directly asked Chiang Kai-shek to stop the offensive in Nanchang: "In the future, the guidance of combat seems to be the policy of a protracted war and attrition, and adopts the principle of attack as defense, advance as retreat,
Strive to be motivated. Whether you win or lose, whether you gain or lose, you should not violate the past and defend your stupid attack."
On the morning of May 7, after receiving a telegram from Luo Zhuoying to report that Chen Anbao died in his country, Xue Yue fell into deep self-blame and regretted that he was timid and did not think about it earlier. Chiang Kai-shek firmly requested to stop the counterattack in Nanchang. He knew that things could not be done, but he was still there.
Indecisiveness leads to the loss of good generals.
Xue Yue's eyes were blurred with tears, as if he had seen the sea of corpses and blood under Nanchang City, and saw Chen Anbao leading the spy to launch a counterattack against the Japanese army, and saw Chen Anguo running on the ridge before his death.
Xue Yue, who was deeply sad, was determined to take the initiative to take the responsibility of Nanchang's loss and sent a telegram to Chiang Kai-shek: "An Bao Nanxun fights hard and defeats the fierce attacks. Now An Bao dies heroically and has deep mourning. Please give me great mercy. Yue commands are unpredictable, Nanchang
If I fail to defeat my loyalty and good deeds, please punish me heavily to comfort the heroes.”
After receiving a telegram from Xue Yue, Chiang Kai-shek fell on the chair, his face turned pale, and Soong Mei-ling was so panicked that he quickly called someone to call a doctor.
Chiang Kai-shek should be clear about the battle situation under the city of Nanchang. Another reason why he ordered the 32nd Army to launch an attack on Nanchang under adverse circumstances was another reason, that is, 12 years ago, Chiang Kai-shek led the Northern Expedition Army to be fearless with the revolutionary army.
Heroic spirit defeated Sun Chuanfang's five-provincial coalition forces in Nanchang. He hoped that the 32nd Army would carry forward the revolutionary spirit of the Northern Expedition Army, overwhelm the Japanese army, and create miracles. Now the miracle has not happened. He has been working hard for a long time and has lost his troops and generals. He can't be angry.
Dizzy?
Before the doctor arrived, Chiang Kai-shek had recovered his calm. He found two telegrams from Liu Yimin, and then carefully read them word by word for a long time. Then he called out a confidential staff officer and sent a telegram to Bai Chongxi, the director of the Guilin camp: "***
The attack on Nanchang was 100 years old, and the army had no success for a long time and stationed troops under the strong city. The enemy was prepared and could not work. The third and ninth war zones stopped attacking Nanchang."
On the day when Chiang Kai-shek ordered the end of the counterattack on Nanchang, the 19th Army finally attacked the Ganjiang River and captured Niuxing Station.
At this moment, the Japanese army in Nanchang City panicked and thought that the Chinese team had launched another attack. They hurriedly launched a cannon in the city to bombard Niu Xing, and a large group of people crossed the river to attack.
Although Zhang Yanchuan, the commander of the 9th Division, had already rushed to Nanchang City, he saw that there was no support in the future. The 32nd Army had already given up the attack at this time. The 101st Division could freely transfer its troops, so he could only retreat with the pain.
The advance troops sent to the guerrillas along the Ganjiang River were also pursued by a brigade of the Japanese 103rd Regiment and had to move closer to the division's main force.
The history of Nanchang's counterattack operation lasted for more than half a month, and finally ended with the failure of our army.
During the entire Nanchang Battle, our army suffered 53,178 casualties and 23,242 officers and soldiers below the commander died, paying a heavy price.
Xue Yue summarized the gains and losses after the war and believed that Liu Yimin's analysis was correct. The Nanchang counterattack should not have been fought at this time, and even the attack should be dominated by surprise attacks. On April 27, the 79th Division failed to attack the city, so the campaign should be decisively stopped.
Xue Yue thus conceived the Nanchang defense battle, criticized the front-line defense tactics, repeatedly pondered the decisive battle proposed by Liu Yimin, and sent a report to Liu Yimin to further discuss the decisive battle of retreat. Two enemies on the Long March actually discussed the decisive battle of the war to fight against Japan.
Question. Not to mention, in the subsequent Anti-Japanese War, Xue Yue’s use of the retreat and decisive battle was much more mature than the original historical tactics of retreat and decisive battle!
