Jiang Cheng chuckled and said, "We can't do it now. There are planes flying around in the sky. After this period of time passes, I will make arrangements to ensure that God is not aware of it and ghosts are not aware of it. By the way, Jianfeng, how is the war in Ganzhou?"
"
Jiang Jingguo sighed, "No, the battle report we just got showed that Ma Weilong planned to attack Nanchang City at night. Guo Xunqi was originally prepared to cooperate, but when he heard that we had heavy artillery but did not use it, he thought we were hiding our strength. This is not true."
, when we started fighting, we refused to attack when encountering difficulties and even retreated early. The result was a loss of troops and generals!! Now, the troops are still surrounding Nanchang, but Ma Weilong called and said that there was no guarantee of victory, and asked me to be mentally prepared, but yesterday
I told him about my mother... I really did, why did I tell him this? It is said that they are preparing to attack again."
Jiang Cheng shook his head and said, "What about Guo Xunqi?"
Jiang Jingguo took a breath and said, "I asked Ma Weilong to talk to him. He also knew that it was wrong for him to retreat early. Commander Gu also scolded him. He should cooperate with us later... The Japanese air force is too powerful."
If it is strong, we will basically be unable to move during the day. There are also Japanese heavy artillery, which cannot be easily broken through."
Jiang Cheng lowered his head and thought for a moment and said, "If you can't do it during the day, use it at night. The Japanese army has a great advantage in artillery fire... I suggest that we cooperate with the New Fourth Army. As far as I know, the first column of the New Fourth Army is fighting guerrillas near Jiangxi. This army
The captain is called Chen Yi, and he is a fierce general. If he is willing to attack the rear of Nanchang with all his strength, maybe we can take Nanchang."
Jiang Jingguo asked excitedly, "Really? The New Fourth Army is just a guerrilla army, how could it have such strength... Moreover, didn't they give their full strength?"
Jiang Cheng looked at Jiang Jingguo and smiled and said, "Jianfeng, do you really not know, or are you pretending not to know? The New Fourth Army has received an order from Chongqing and must not take a step closer to Nanchang City. Do you understand the truth behind this?"
Jiang Jingguo understood it as soon as he thought about it, and said helplessly, "How long have you been doing this? Gu Quan, can you recommend it to me? I know you have a bright future!!"
Jiang Cheng smiled and said, "It's too late to make an introduction. You write a letter asking for help and I'll have someone bring it to Chen Yi. I know Chen Yi has wanted to fight for a long time. I promise to let him send troops. How about that?"
Jiang Jingguo chuckled and said, "I knew you had a way. Well, if you can really capture Nanchang City, I will count it as your first success."
Jiang Cheng hummed and said, "The Youth Army also has a share of my hard work, and it's all deserved. Okay, are you feeling better?"
Jiang Jingguo nodded and said, "Thank you."
Jiang Cheng patted Jiang Jingguo and said, "We are all brothers, stop talking."
--Headquarters of the First Column of the New Fourth Army
Chen Yi looked at the autographed letter from Jiang Jingguo in his hand and said with a smile, "Okay, the leader of 203 is really powerful. The Youth Army really asked us for help."
Fu Qiutao smiled and said, "Then we won't be polite. After enduring it for a long time, we can finally vent our anger. You can tell us how to fight."
Chen Yi pointed to the map and said, "We have a first column of 30,000 people, divided into two groups. We will take 20,000 people to attack Nanchang, and let Ye Fei lead 10,000 people to attack Yongxiu. We will attack them in both directions. In addition, Nanchang is
Fortress City is difficult to fight. I will take 80% of it without rear artillery. We also brought out our anti-aircraft guns, and the two to three hundred kilograms of special explosives brought by the 203 leader. They were said to be extremely powerful. I didn’t believe it, so I took them.
No less than Nanchang!"
Fu Qiutao smiled and said, "Are you having a hard time? Those ten kilograms are really good stuff. We have tried it, and it is really powerful. How are you going to use that thing? And those heavy artillery, we are not like the Eighth Route Army, they are backed by
It's in the center, good for supplies, and some heavy weapons, the biggest we have is the 75-gun."
Chen Yi touched his chin and said, "Didn't a group of special talents come back from the rotation training in Yan'an this time? I think using them, plus our special explosives, should be able to solve the problem, but this will require the Japanese army to expose their firepower."
Okay. But the Japanese army likes to use heavy artillery, so I don’t think it’s a problem.”
As he spoke, Chen Yi pointed at the map and said, "We have to contact the Youth Army first, otherwise cooperation will be a problem. Who do you think is more suitable?"
Fu Qiutao thought for a while and said, "Zhong Qiguang, he used to be a youth committee member of the White Party, and he is also known as a youth. What do you think?"
Chen Yi smiled and said, "Then let him."
--Youth Army Headquarters
Ma Weilong held Zhong Qiguang's hand and said, "The commissioner has told me, thank you. Come, this is Commander Guo Xunqi."
Zhong Qiguang shook their hands and said, "Let me talk about our situation first. Our first column is preparing to send out three detachments this time, with a total of more than 20,000 people. They are our main forces, and the firepower configuration is more than 90%.
, has a large number of machine guns, mortars, as well as some anti-aircraft guns and combat anti-aircraft guns."
Ma Weilong said with bright eyes, "Thank you so much. I should have contacted you earlier. Do you have any plans? You may not know that the losses of both our units during this period of attack are not small. Now we both
The combined total number of capable soldiers is less than 20,000 to 30,000. Moreover, the Japanese army’s artillery fire is extremely fierce. In addition, their air force advantage is also very powerful.”
Zhong Qiguang nodded and said, "Our plan is this. At three o'clock tomorrow morning, your army will pretend to attack. Our army will start attacking from the north of Nanchang at 3:30. At the same time, our army will attack Yongxiu at the same time to ensure that the Japanese reinforcements arrive."
Not coming."
Ma Weilong looked at the map and said, "The idea is good, but the effect may not be great. The Japanese army now has a reinforced brigade in the city, with more than 10,000 people, and more than 30 heavy artillery, not to mention those 75mm mountain cannons. These
The artillery is divided into three parts, all with high platforms and protection, which can cover a radius of 11 or 2 kilometers in Nanchang City. If there is an air force, it would be easier to deal with them, but what a pity! If these firepower were to hit the offensive route
, basically there is no need to charge, even if we feign an attack first, they can turn their guns around and attack your army again."
Zhong Qiguang saluted and said, "We already have a plan to solve this matter, but because it involves military secrets, I'm sorry, I can't disclose it for the time being."
Ma Weilong smiled and said, "Okay, then I'll wait and see."
--late at night
Troops began to enter the position one after another, and a special troop stood next to Chen Yi. Many soldiers looked at them as if they were surprised.
Chen Yi touched something on the soldier's back and said, "This time it all depends on you. Comrades, answer me, do you have confidence?"
The dozens of people shouted "Yes!!"
Chen Yi nodded and said, "Check your watch and prepare for action."
The soldiers standing next to them stood on tiptoe as they watched the team open the boxes and put down the things they were carrying on their backs, wanting to take a closer look.
After a while, four-legged drones were assembled one after another. Here, using the drones brought by Jiang Cheng, the special force just formed by Yan'an was codenamed Tianhong. Most of these people were veterans.
Party members and a small group of people are Jiang Cheng's bodyguards. Jiang Cheng's bodyguards have also continuously recruited some orphans from various places in the past two years, and the number has reached nearly a thousand.
Each of the four claws of the drone holds a three to four kilogram black bomb. This bomb is a special CL-20 bomb, which Jiang Cheng specially brought to Chen Yi this time. The power of CL-20 explosive is 16 times higher*
**, this little bomb is not much weaker than a real aerial bomb.
The range of these drones is about 80 kilometers. They are specially made to be silent and without lights. In the dark nights of the Republic of China, almost no one can detect them. This is Chen Yi's trump card.
At this time, there were faint explosions. Chen Yi looked at his pocket watch and said, "The time is very accurate. Ma Weilong is a trustworthy person. The Tianbo Army took off on time at 3:30. This is my first time using this unit of yours."
, you decide how to fight it yourself."
Li Chen, captain of the Sky Bomb Unit, commanded, "From the first team to the third team, the targets are No. 1 to No. 3 respectively, and the altitude is set to two thousand meters. After reaching the target, follow the orders and act together. Do you understand?"
"Understood!" All team members quickly began the final inspection.
Fu Qiutao shook his head and smiled at Chen Yi, "We have to strengthen our study. Look, if this fighting method becomes popular in the future, the way the war is fought will change again."
Chen Yi pointed at the team members who were preparing and said, "I think the most important thing is to let the troops learn culture. Look at these things, they are all foreign gadgets. If these things are broken, no one here can repair them. They all have to be taken back to Yan'an."
"Yan'an has a death order. These foreign gadgets can be broken or exploded, but they cannot be captured. If one is lost, they will be severely punished."
On the other side, Ma Weilong's youth army was attacking Nanchang. Seeing that the offensive route had been blown into a sea of fire, Ma Weilong turned around and asked, "What time is it now?"
The staff officer next to him replied, "Twenty-seven past three."
Ma Weilong held the binoculars and said, "Bring those three artillery pieces up and prepare to attack at close range. The New Fourth Army is a guerrilla army after all. It may not necessarily have a strong will to fight, but at least it can help us attract firepower. We are the direct descendants of the commissioner and the commissioner's mother."
He was killed by the Japanese bombing. If we cannot avenge the commissioner, those of us who are subordinates will have no shame in going back."
With that said, Ma Weilong pointed to Nanchang in front and said, "Tell the soldiers in front that tonight is the time to enter Nanchang. Unless the city of Nanchang is broken, the youth army will never withdraw its troops!!"
——Inside Nanchang City
Guarding Nanchang City is the Thirteenth Division, and the commander of the division is Tanaka Shizuichi. Although there is only one brigade in Nanchang City, there is a heavy artillery regiment attached. Tanaka Shizuichi stands on the top of Nanchang City, holding a telescope.
Looking at the fighting outside, he said, "The Chinese are attacking very resolutely, but without heavy artillery, they are not afraid. They order all units to stick to their posts. How many artillery shells do we have?"
The staff officer next to him said, "The New Fourth Army's harassment is very severe, especially on our ammunition transport convoy. Now there are less than four bases left."
Tanaka Shizuichi thought for a while and said, "Four bases, say more, say less, but it should be no problem after three days. Immediately send a message to Deputy Governor Okamura Nei, and we must open up the transportation line, and the China troops
There are really too many of them, and without heavy artillery, we would be slowly exhausted by them."
Tanaka Jingichi who was speaking did not notice that in the sky, thirty or forty black spots were dividing into three pieces and flying towards the three high platforms where the artillery groups were located.
Chen Yi looked at the picture and said in shock, "Look, there are eyes in the sky."
Fu Qiutao scratched his head and said, "I thought about it for a long time, and all I could think of was putting that thing in a video recorder so that I could record the picture, but how did it get transmitted?"
Chen Yi smiled and said, "Whatever scientific theory it is, it is a matter for scientists. We soldiers can just use it well. Look, we can already see the Japanese heavy artillery position."
In the picture, you can see a vague high platform, which appears and disappear in the firelight from time to time. You can see more than a dozen artillery on that high mountain. The artillery is surrounded by defensive positions piled with sandbags.
Li Chen saluted Chen Yi and said, "We have arrived at the designated location and can start attacking."
Chen Yi nodded and said, "Order all ministries to start attacking. The bombing will begin in ten minutes."
Li Chen turned around and said, "After eight minutes, the altitude will be lowered to 1,000 meters. After nine minutes, it will be lowered to 300 meters. After ten minutes, the attack will begin. Be sure to hit accurately. Pay attention to the opponent's reaction and be careful of the enemy's counterattack."
——New Fourth Army offensive position
Huang Tingyu is the leader of the second detachment of the first column of the New Fourth Army. He was born in the old Red Army and persisted in guerrilla warfare for three years in Jiangnan. At this time, he was wearing a German-style helmet and holding a 98K in his hand. Originally, according to his
level, he should use automatic firearms such as submachine guns, but he just likes to use rifles. In his words, a good gun is a gun that can shoot accurately.
"Regiment commander, the column headquarters ordered, start the attack!" a communications soldier stood up and said.
Huang Tingyu immediately said to the soldier guarding the phone next to him, "Immediately connect the units and start the attack. This is an attack launched by three regiments. Whoever falls at the end will not be able to hold up his head when we meet in the future. Do you hear that?"
The New Fourth Army's attack was not very noisy. Everyone charged forward without saying a word. When the New Fourth Army troops rushed near the moat of Nanchang City, the Japanese army became aware of it.
"Beep, beep, beep!" The Type 92 heavy machine gun immediately made a sound like a woodpecker, and bullets like a rainstorm flew aimlessly everywhere in the dark night, bringing out streams of blood from time to time.
"The engineering team is ready, build a bridge, and provide artillery cover!!" Huang Tingyu shouted loudly, and a group of engineers rushed into the water carrying wooden boats. Dozens of large and small mortars and mountain cannons opened fire on the city head, with huge explosions and
The sound of killing resounded throughout half of Nanchang City.
Tanaka Jingyi looked back at Nanchang North City and smiled and said, "Hey, that's it. It seems that the New Fourth Army and the Youth Army have joined forces. No wonder they dare to attack the city. Well, I think the New Fourth Army is the real main force. Order No. 2 and
The No. 3 artillery position turned to attack the New Fourth Army, and the No. 1 artillery position spread out to shoot at the Youth Army's offensive route. If more flares are fired, there shouldn't be much of a problem."
