As the newly appointed Prime Minister, Nobuyuki Abe took over a bunch of messy things that he had done before, and he was a little tired. However, in his opinion, fortunately, there had been some action in Europe.
"Do you still think that if we want to attack Nanchang, we must first gain air supremacy?" Nobuyuki Abe said calmly, "Do we have to wait until the new fighter planes are equipped?"
Everyone present was considered a big boss. Outside, no one would dare to offend the cabinet. But after hearing Abe Nobuyuki's words, even though he didn't want to admit it, he could only nod. Only Takeshita Shun frowned.
Finally, he said, "If the independent division is to be unable to take advantage of the air force, then the attack time can only be at night."
Abe Nobuyuki smiled and nodded. As an army general, these are common sense. However, everyone wants to capture Nanchang with low casualties. They have not thought about attacking at night. If it is attacked at night, the Japanese army still has some advantages.
, "Yes, night attack." Currently, most fighter planes cannot operate at night. "According to intelligence, although the Nanchang section of the Independent Division has a large number of troops, most of them are new recruits. Everyone should know this."
"Hi."
"Although the 10 divisions transferred previously are newly formed, they are very well-trained warriors. Moreover, they also underwent special training before setting off. I don't think our warriors will be more effective than the independent division.
"It's so low." Nobuyuki Abe said again. As soon as he said this, everyone nodded.
"The warriors of the empire don't just rely on equipment." Nobuyuki Abe said calmly, "We also have our bushido spirit. Without air supremacy, we can still win Nanchang. We rely on our brave warriors of the empire. Warriors of the empire will always be there.
It is the core component of the empire."

Wuhan
After receiving the telegram, Okamura Neiji was confused for a moment. He fought at night and then slapped his forehead. Yes, if you fight at night, the plane will not be able to get into the sky and there will be no air superiority. Even if it will still suffer heavy losses, independence
The division will also suffer heavy losses. This is a fight. "Come here, give me the order to launch an attack on Nanchang tonight. It doesn't matter if the losses are heavy. I only want them to fight one by one to finish off the soldiers of the independent division."
"Hi!"
…
At 9 o'clock in the evening on the 3rd, gunfire rang out again in Nanchang.
"Da da da!"
"Da da!"
"Squad leader, why are the Japanese attacking us at night?" A soldier asked his squad leader after firing a few shots and then retracting inside the fortification to change his magazine.
"The Japanese think they can capture us at night." The squad leader smiled and said, "After all, our planes can't fly at night."
"So that's it." The soldier suddenly realized, "The Japanese are too self-righteous. There are no planes, and we are still there." After saying that, the soldier lay down on the position again and began to attack in the distance.
"Da da da!"
In the dark, it is basically impossible to see any target, but you can still see it by listening to the sound and looking at the muzzle of the gun. Therefore, the machine gunner is unlucky. The flames are obvious and the target is obvious. It is the same on both sides. The only difference is
, the Independent Division has fortification defenses, and the casualties are much smaller than those of the Japanese army. There are also mortar attacks, which more or less ignite some dead grass and some combustible things on the land, and there are occasionally a few clusters in some places.
firelight.
…
"Yo Xi, we're only 200 meters away from the position!" A Japanese major said happily. Because it was a night attack, the independent division's attack accuracy was not high, so the distance to the independent division's position would be closer than during the day.
, "Keep going!" After saying that, he also crawled forward.
…
Inside the Nanchang headquarters
Fang Shengli said, "The Japs launched an attack tonight, I'm afraid they have some trick."
"Actually, in a night battle, the gap between us is not big. On the contrary, we have the advantage." Lin Mingrun said, "After all, we have fortifications, but the Japanese do not."
"The Japs want to fight." Wushang said, "The night battle shows that both sides are unable to engage in air combat. Then, our air force advantage will be weakened, but the quality of the Japs' individual soldiers is higher than ours. This is a fact. Still.
One thing is that most of our current defenders are new soldiers. Although the fortifications are strong, it is hard to say who has the advantage under such circumstances."
Everyone nodded, and Fang Shengli immediately said, "Right now, Lao Lin's three regiments plus one of Wushang's regiments are guarding Nanchang. The mobile force is Wushang's other two regiments and the first and second brigade in reserve, and Murong's
Three regiments are guarding Yongxiu. The mobile force is the third reserve brigade and the three regiments of Long Zhi, Nuonuo and Dingtian. It can be said that we have no shortage of troops. Therefore, I will send a telegram to Murong soon.
If there are any troops, let the mobile troops be on top and be sure to hold on. If the Japanese want to fight with us, then we will fight with them."
"yes!"

Nanchang
Zhou Weiguo received the news of the Japanese attack on Nanchang at night. After thinking for a while, he knew the purpose of the Japanese. If they attacked at night, neither side would be able to conduct an air battle. In this case, the war would become the most primitive state. Bullets
A flying shot, an exchange of lives. According to the intelligence, the Japs still have at least 80,000 or 90,000 troops. If we really fight, the Japs will not have the advantage.
It has been about a month and a half since the bombing of the Japanese mainland and the Japanese army once again actively prepared for war. This month and a half has been enough for the Japanese to transport troops. I wonder if the Japanese have learned the lesson and the ships transporting troops directly go to North Korea and then go south by land.
.Because this plan has the shortest time on the sea, Liu Zhihui and others have not gained much recently. Because the voyage is short, the Japanese are also on guard.
"The devils are trying to kill people." Li Weimin thought for a while and said.
"Yeah." Zhou Weiguo nodded, "With a new prime minister, he has seen a lot of things clearly."
"That's true. If it were the original one, they would probably still be at odds now." Li Weimin said with a smile, "But, is there no problem with Nanchang?"
"I believe they will win. After all, they belong to the defending side." Zhou Weiguo said, "Moreover, there are more than 60,000 troops. Although they are defending Nanchang and Yongxiu, there should be no problem."
"Yes, Nanchang and Yongxiu have now become a nail in the coffin for the Japanese to advance westward. If they are not removed, the Japanese will have no peace of mind when marching westward." Li Weimin nodded, "However, there is a war in Europe, and the Japanese seem to have no intention of attacking Changsha.
, Southeast Asia seems to be in harmony."
"It's not that fast yet. Although Britain and France have declared war on Germany, they have not yet entered the quagmire of war. Japan does not dare to take action now." Zhou Weiguo replied, "When Britain and France can no longer take care of themselves, Japan will intervene.
