Che Zhiheng's plan caused the Japanese army to lose more than 2,000 people at once, and the Japanese army's offensive was also disrupted.
"Baga Baga!" A Japanese lieutenant general was furious, but there was nothing he could do. If they attacked during the day, the air force advantage of the Independent Division would be too obvious, and the attack at night would get in their way. In this way, his men
Almost two of his three regiments have been crippled. In addition to the losses in the attack in August, his division has almost been crippled. You must know that their newly expanded division has been severely damaged in the Chinese battlefield.
Unsatisfactory, the training was very strict because he expected to make a comeback in one fell swoop. But what he didn't expect was that the battle loss ratio turned out to be so horrifying, and his own losses were too great. But the order he received was to win at all costs.
Go to Nanchang to prepare for the empire's subsequent offensive plan.
…
Shanghai, Central China Front Army Headquarters.
"It seems that the war in Nanchang is still not going well." Shunroku Hata frowned and put down the telegram in his hand. It was already early in the morning, but as a commander of the front army, he could not sleep. He always felt that the empire had no power in front of Zhou Weiguo.
What kind of counterattack force? Everything seems a bit ridiculous. And the person who leaked the news has not been caught before. If it hadn't been for a long time, Shunroku Hata would have forgotten about it.
"Your Excellency, Commander, why don't you use special ammunition?" Shunroku Hata's guard wondered.
"None of our current gas bombs can kill immediately, and we don't have so many special bombs now, so the situation in Linyi cannot be replicated." Shunroku Hata sighed, "However, when it comes to this, we are already a few months away from the reconstruction of the epidemic prevention and water supply force.
It's been a while, so you can call and ask if there is any new progress."
"Hi."
…
Nanchang
Fang Shengli listened to the sound of gunfire outside, and it seemed that it was no longer as good as at the beginning. The corner of his mouth curled up. It seemed that the Japanese did not get any benefits. Also, he was on the defensive side. If the Japanese could get any benefits,
, that would be strange.
"Assistant Master's Seat." Lin Mingrun walked in, looked at Fang Shengli, and said, "The Japs' attack has been suspended. There should be no attack tonight."
"Well, I heard it, the gunfire became much sparse." Fang Shengli said, "How are the casualties?"
"It's quite heavy." Lin Mingrun's tone was also a little heavy. "The casualties of each regiment are almost more than half, and now the medical team is simply too busy."
Fang Shengli nodded, "Where are the Japanese casualties?"
"It's much bigger than us." Lin Mingrun said, "Today one of my group leaders, Che Zhiheng, gave me a surprise."
"What surprise?"
"They abandoned the first three fronts outside the city to lure the Japs in, but in fact, they buried explosives underneath. When the Japs got to these three fronts, they detonated the explosives and directly disabled the Japs.
A regiment." Lin Mingrun said, "I think this is very good. We can plant explosives on all positions. But in the end, if it doesn't work and the positions are lost, we can give the Japanese a big one."
Fang Shengli nodded, "Yes, indeed, soldiers never tire of deceit. Che Zhiheng, I remember that Wei Guo also valued him very much before."
"That's right."
"Send a report to Weiguo. Just say that the situation here is okay and tell him not to worry."
"yes!"
…
Wuhan
Okamura Neiji, who received the telegram from the front, also paused. He was not in a good mood. He was silent for a long time, and then said, "The order is to capture Nanchang at all costs."
"Hi!"
"Let Jiujiang provide them with support, both in terms of supplies and soldiers." Okamura Neiji said again.
"Hi!"
Seeing the soldiers leaving, Okamura Neji looked at the map. There were two circles drawn there, one for Nanchang and the other for Changsha. Originally, Changsha would be taken after Nanchang was taken, but now it seems that Nanchang will be taken a long way.
It was difficult, and the losses would be huge. Neji Okamura clenched his hands and murmured, "But no matter how difficult it is, we have to win it. If we don't win it, everything else is out of the question. I didn't expect that at the beginning, a small
The enemy is actually in such trouble now."
…
September 4th, early morning.
Zhou Weiguo read last night's telegram with a smile in his eyes, "The Japanese still suffered a loss after all."
"Yes, after all, we are on the defensive side." Li Weimin drank some porridge and replied. It was Li Weimin who was on duty last night. "However, that Che Zhiheng is good and intelligent, and I think his method can be applied."
ah."
Zhou Weiguo nodded and smiled, "It's really good. You can give the Japanese a trick before leaving."
"Looking at the situation of the Japanese, they won't attack during the day." Li Weimin sighed, "Can we take the initiative to attack during the day?"
Zhou Weiguo touched his chin and thought for a while, "I'm not in Nanchang. I don't know the specific situation. I think Wushang and the others may be prepared. However, during the day, they can give the Japanese some appropriate harassment, such as bombing. In this way, they
If you don’t sleep at night and don’t sleep well during the day, you will become tired.”
Li Weimin gave Zhou Weiguo a "you're great" look, finished eating the porridge a few times, wiped his mouth, and said, "Okay, I'll send this telegram later, then I'll go and rest. I'll be relying on you during the day."
"Yeah." Zhou Weiguo nodded, "Thank you for your hard work."
Li Weimin waved his hand and left the headquarters.
Zhou Weiguo watched Li Weimin walk out, smiled, and then began to read the various messages and telegrams compiled by Li Weimin. One message caught his attention, which was sent by Chen Teng. Chen Teng had been in Tianjin for half a year, and it was sent back.
The news is large and small, but this time, it is about Japan's continuous increase in troops. The Japanese have sent more troops to the Chinese battlefield again. The purpose is for the independent division and for Nanchang. According to the information Chen Teng inquired about, the Japanese can endure the defeat.
Yang was manipulated by Zhou Weiguo, because if they really wanted to capture Laiyang, the price the Japanese would pay was not ordinary. However, because Nanchang was involved in the Japanese plan to advance westward, the Japanese also tried their best to capture Laiyang this time.
Go to Nanchang to continue the next step of the invasion.
"Hmph." Zhou Weiguo snorted coldly after reading it, "What a wishful thinking. If you want to advance westward, let's wait until Nanchang is captured." Originally, Zhou Weiguo thought that the Japanese would suffer a small loss in the August 13th attack.
Shift the target of the attack, for example to several cities guarded by the national army. However, the new Japanese Prime Minister came to power and saw clearly that if Nanchang had been in the hands of Zhou Weiguo, many of their plans would be ruined. The heavy losses in Suizao were proof.
Therefore, Nanchang has become a thorn in the eyes of the Japanese, including Laiyang. The Japanese have always wanted to pull it out, but to pull out this nail, they have to take away a lot of their own blood and flesh. The loss is too great and it is not cost-effective. Now, the European War has
First, he didn't know what the Japanese were thinking, but one thing that was certain was that Japan would definitely take action in Southeast Asia. Because in the eyes of the Japanese, those places were ownerless and should belong to them.
