large ballistics

Chapter 186
If you marked the Japanese army's offensive thinking on the map at this moment, you would find that Okamura first pulled out all the large and small towns around Nanchang City, and finally surrounded Nanchang City in a three-way double-team posture.

Moreover, it is still a method of encircling the three and missing one, so as not to cause the national army to break the boat. Similar methods were used to attack several large cities before, but there are also disadvantages in doing so, that is, occupying a city does not consume the vitality of the national army. , This will face the danger of the national army's counterattack at any time.

However, Okamura's consideration is that there are priorities. The primary goal now is to compress the living space of the Chinese people, and gradually eat away the land of China to obtain resources, so that war can support war.

After the order of the Japanese army was issued, various Japanese combat units began to advance to the vast combat area centered on Nanchang.They are a true mechanized army, so they march very fast.

On the 17th, the vanguard has already turned in the fire!

Chenjiahe, the battalion compound.

"Lao Li, the food here is not bad." Jing Jiamo, the second battalion commander, took a sip of Liuyanghe wine, put a chopstick of fish into his mouth, and praised.

They both graduated from the Central Military Academy and were battalion commanders of a regiment. During the days of local repairs, Li Chong and the second battalion commander Jing Jiamo would drop by from time to time. Anyway, the two battalions are located more than ten miles apart. It takes half an hour to ride a horse to get there, chatting with each other. During this process, Li Chong learned a lot about the Sichuan Army from the old senior.

Li Chong added a bowl of wine to Jing Jiamo, "I'm the old senior, and you asked the cooking class to cook two appetizers. The fish are all freshly caught in the river. It's just that the wine is not easy to make. It's still in the village. The squire gave it to me during the Chinese New Year, and I only have these two bottles left after drinking, and I used them to entertain you, senior."

"Haha, look at the reluctance on your face, who doesn't know that you are rich. Next time you come to my battalion, I will treat you to Wuling wine given by an old comrade in arms!"

"Oh, then I have to go, I never thought that you still have such good stuff hidden, old senior."

"Come on, let's take one!" The wine bowls collided, and the taste was already tasted after thirty.

After bragging about each other, the topic naturally turned to the current war.

The Japanese army moved to the vicinity of Nanchang on a large scale, and there was a lot of noise in the Ninth War Zone. At this moment, the [-]rd Regiment, which was repairing in the Yang Family Ancestral Hall, also heard the movement. Although there was no combat order to go directly to the front line, as part of the main division, Shangfeng This team with strong combat capabilities will definitely not be put aside.

"Brother, you have to be tougher in this battle in Nanchang."

"Haha, I'm drinking a little wine now, and I'm full of food. I haven't had enough of such a good life. Besides, old senior, you said that you want to invite me to drink your treasured Wuling wine."

"Okay, we Huangpu soldiers are real men, so naturally we are not afraid of the devil's scene. When the war is over, I will definitely entertain you, drink!"

One or two bottles of wine is not a big deal for soldiers, but Jing Jiamo, the commander of the second battalion with a bottle of wine in his stomach, rode off on his horse and left without drifting.

At this moment, many places around Nanchang have opened flowers.

The national army, which had lost its upper hand, completely passively responded to the three-way attacking Japanese army, and the fortifications built at the front were severely destroyed under the intensive and almost uninterrupted bombing of enemy planes.Enemy planes dispatched very frequently. This is because they rebuilt the airport after occupying Wuhan, and built an airport nearby as the troops advanced.

In order to encourage front-line soldiers, the general headquarters of the 30th Army Group in the Ninth Theater and all the subordinate military headquarters moved forward.

This is the Sichuan army. Although they lost the upper hand, under the horizontal push of the shells of the enemy's aircraft and tanks, they have held the belief that they are not afraid of death from the top level.

Okamura also knew what kind of opponent he would face when he set his sights on the Ninth War Zone of China. Facing the Ninth War Zone built with the main body of the Sichuan Army, he specially transferred two generals, Nishio Hiszo and Itagaki Seishiro, and an elite division. Take part in this attack.

The Japanese army's right-hand attack route was directed from Ruoxi to Wuning, and the Sichuan Army's 73rd Army and Eighth Army were stationed near Wuning City. Therefore, the Japanese army mobilized all available heavy weapons and was responsible for the offensive. It is the sixth division of the Japanese army's well-equipped Type A division.

They launched an uninterrupted continuous attack on the Sichuan Army under the bombing of air force planes and the cover of ground tanks and armored forces.

The war lasted for three days and three nights, Wuning City was blown into ruins by enemy planes, and the fire burned from night to dawn.

If it weren't for the last line of defense formed by Luopan Mountain, Coffin Mountain, and Wangrenao outside the city, with Li Yutang's Eighth Army struggling to support it, Wuning City would have faced the Japanese ground attack force directly.

Coffin Mountain, Wangrenao Mountain in the northwest direction and Luopan Mountain in the southeast direction form a northwest-oriented mountain range. This is the barrier of Wuning City, and Coffin Mountain is the highest peak among them. Once this line of defense is lost, the entire Wuning Ningcheng will directly face the Japanese ground combat forces.

However, the Eighth Army was already in dire straits in the face of heavy bombs and incendiary bombs from enemy aircraft, as well as ground artillery units washing the ground in turn.

Therefore, despite the heavy casualties, even if the entire army is wiped out, the Eighth Army is struggling to support it.The Coffin Mountain also fulfilled its name at this moment. In just three days, even if the entire mountain was hollowed out and used as a coffin, the corpses of the fallen soldiers of the two armies would not be able to hold them!

Facing the critical situation in Wuning, Xue Boling, the commander of the Ninth War Zone, knew that it would be impossible not to send troops to support him.

He immediately gave an order to Yang Sen, the deputy commander and commander-in-chief of the 27th Army, asking him to send troops to support.

Facing the national crisis, Yang Sen did not hesitate at all, and directly ordered his eldest nephew, Yang Hanyu, the commander of the [-]st, [-]rd and [-]rd divisions who led his confidant elite troops, to immediately march to support Wu Ning!
Orders are issued layer by layer.

Chenjiahe, the [-]st Battalion of the [-]rd Regiment is stationed here for daily training.

"Battalion Commander! Battalion Commander! Regiment Headquarters Order!!" The communications soldier of the Battalion Headquarters Radio ran up to Li Chong with a telegram and shouted.

Li Chong, who was watching the training of the soldiers, took the telegram, and there were only eight words on it, "The whole battalion is dispatched, close to the regiment headquarters!"

Li Chong knew when he saw these eight characters that he was about to go to the battlefield!
"Bustleman, blow the rallying call!"

The emergency assembly sounded, and the three battalions, the engineering squad, the reconnaissance squad and the battalion security squad quickly assembled in front of Li Chong.

Li Chong looked at the crowd with his fists clenched and said, "Raise soldiers for a thousand days and use them for a while. Everyone packs up their luggage. After a quarter of an hour, the whole battalion will move out and move closer to the regiment headquarters!"

"It's his grandma's. After resting for more than three months, my legs and feet are almost rusting." Tang Dayao, the company commander, broke his mouth and laughed.

Jian Yongjiang, the second company commander, said, "Haha, Old Tang, let's compete to see who killed more devils this time."

"Don't forget me." Third company commander Xiao Zhiguo was not far behind.

Li Chong cursed in his heart, he is a fucking guy who treats death as a fart. From the faces of these old company commanders, platoon leaders and squad leaders, you can only see talking and laughing, as if a war is about to happen, just like eating a meal. There is no fluctuation at all.With this team, as the battalion commander, I can't fall behind.
