Old Chiang Kai-shek received a telegram from Zhou Weiguo, which stated that Zhou Weiguo's attack plan required the cooperation of the National Army in the Ninth Theater Zone, so that he could take back Shanggao and connect Nanchang and Changsha. To be honest, Old Chiang Kai-shek was moved. But
He was also angry, angry that Zhou Weiguo had invalidated the armistice agreement that was finally signed. Yes, if it weren't for Zhou Weiguo, Japan would not attack at all today.
"Principal, this telegram from Wei Guo?" Dai Li knew that Chiang Kai-shek was angry with Zhou Weiguo, but when the telegram arrived, he had to sigh for Zhou Weiguo, so he still sent the telegram to Chiang Kai-shek.
"Well, give it to Xue Yue and let him arrange for the cooperation of his men to take it back to Xinyu and Shanggao." Lao Jiang said calmly, and then put the telegram on the table. He didn't know what he was thinking.
"yes!"
…
Nanchang
"Report!"
"Come in!"
"The Chairman is calling."
Zhou Weiguo took the telegram and nodded. Lao Jiang said that the arrangements had been made. However, he was still uneasy because he did not receive the telegram from the Ninth War Zone. After all, it was one thing for Lao Jiang to agree. Whether the subordinates would do it or not was another.
Same thing.
"Send a telegram from the Ninth War Zone immediately." Zhou Weiguo explained.
"yes!"
At 6 pm on September 6, 1939, the last batch of support arrived in Nanchang.
"Let brothers have a good rest, eat and drink enough, and be ready to provide support at any time." Zhou Weiguo said to everyone, "If you don't need support, then sleep well."
"yes!"
After everyone left, only Zhou Weiguo and Fang Shengli were left in the headquarters.
"The telegram from the Ninth War Zone has not arrived yet." Fang Shengli looked at Zhou Weiguo and said.
Zhou Weiguo nodded, "Don't wait until we arrive. Let's get over the immediate crisis first."
"Hey, that's right." Fang Shengli sighed. At this time, there was no telegram indicating that the relevant troops in the Ninth Theater District might not cooperate. This frustrated Fang Shengli. Obviously this plan was beneficial to everyone.
"The attack at night should focus on defense. Let the brothers just stick to their positions." Zhou Weiguo continued, "Don't be too desperate. Then we will take the initiative to attack tomorrow morning."
"Yes, I understand. Don't worry, I will keep an eye on you." Fang Shengli said.
"Okay, let's go and rest for a while first." Zhou Weiguo said immediately. At this moment, he planned to replenish the logistics ammunition.
…
At 11 o'clock in the evening, I received a telegram from the Ninth War Zone, expressing its willingness to cooperate.
At this time, Zhou Weiguo breathed a sigh of relief, so that his planned strategic goals would be easier to achieve.
"Finally there is a response." Fang Shengli also breathed a sigh of relief and said.
"Yeah." Zhou Weiguo nodded, "The Japs' offensive is still very fierce tonight."
"I have sent the brothers who are slightly injured and can still fight back to the front line." Fang Shengli said, "For tomorrow's battle, the support troops must be well rested in order to take down the Japs, so leave it to me tonight."
Looking at Fang Shengli's firm eyes, Zhou Weiguo couldn't refuse and could only nod, "Okay, call me if you have any questions."
"Um."
…
On September 7, at 4:30 in the morning, the attack that lasted all night stopped. Outside Nanchang City, there were corpses everywhere, the dark earth exploded by artillery fire, and some extinguished small fires, with black smoke rising.
At this time, the sky gradually became brighter.
The Japs also retreated in an orderly manner. After fighting all night, the Japs were very tired, especially at night, when the temperature was low, and they could only eat dry military rations. Even their hands were stiff now.
At the same time, the city gate opened to the west of Nanchang.
Zhou Weiguo filed out with the supporting soldiers flown in yesterday. At this time, the Japanese were only about 1 kilometer away from the city gate. At the same time, dozens of fighter planes appeared in the sky.
"Buzz buzz!"
…
"Baga! Damn Chinese people!" A Japanese soldier was angry when he heard the buzzing of the plane. At this time, they should run back to the woods to hide. After fighting all night, if they didn't capture Nanchang, forget it.
, I was harassed during the day and couldn’t sleep well.
"Let's go quickly, let's go to the woods first." Another Japanese soldier next to him curled his lips, "I just want to have a good sleep."
"Your Excellency, Division Commander, there are Chinese pursuers behind you!" A Japanese major general said to the Japanese lieutenant general.
"Yalu! Are the Chinese forcing us to fight them during the day?"
"I'm afraid so."
"How many Chinese pursuers are there?"
"It is estimated that there will be 20,000 to 30,000 troops."
"How many more troops do we have available to fight?"
"About 50,000."
"Baga!" The Japanese lieutenant general glanced at the sky, "Let the warriors quickly enter the forest and fight back on the spot after entering the forest!"
"Hi!"
…
On the west wall, Fang Shengli looked at the Japs running away and smiled, "Let the artillery unit shoot out all the stocks."
"yes!"
Then, there was the roar of artillery shells.
…
"boom!"
"boom!"
The mud was flying, and the Japanese army never expected that today the Independent Division would pull out artillery to hinder their retreat. The Japanese formation was very dense at this time, so the effect of the artillery shells was relatively good.
…
Zhu Ziming piloted the fighter jet, looked at the ground, swooped down, and fired a burst of bullets at the rear of the Japs' team, "Ta-ta-ta! Ta-ta-ta!"
He seemed to have heard the screams of the Japanese.
Then, the plane passed forward, firing bullets as it passed.
Behind Zhu Ziming's Hellcat, a group of fighter planes followed, making the same movements as Zhu Ziming.
…
Zhou Weiguo looked at the Air Force. Indeed, the Air Force was relatively mature at this time, and the Japs were helpless at this time. They were still four or five miles away from the forest, and the Japs had no way to run back quickly.
"Master, if the fight continues like this, do we still have to fight?" Zhang Ruikuan said helplessly, "The air force brothers are so fierce. I feel like they will kill all the Japanese."
"Stop talking nonsense. When the air force brothers leave, we will be ready to rush forward and deal with the Japanese." Zhou Weiguo said seriously. The effect of today's attack was much better than he imagined.
"yes!"
Under the obstruction of the air force, the Japs were moving very slowly. Zhou Weiguo and his troops were hanging behind the Japs' tail, planning to rush up and confront the Japs head-on after the air force's attack was over. After all, the Japs at this time were
One is a tired teacher, and the other is probably scared out of his wits. He will probably go to the woods first at all costs, rather than choose to fight them head-on.
Seven or eight minutes later, the fighters left.
"Charge!" Zhou Weiguo rushed out first. At this time, they were only four to five hundred meters away from the rear of the Japanese troops.
"Da da da!"
"Da da da!"
The Japs, on the other hand, had no intention of counterattack and just fled forward, because the order they received was to stop the attack after returning to the woods. At this time, they were not very far away from the woods.
"The Japs are in a rout!" Zhang Ruikuan was surprised, and then led his soldiers to charge forward.
