Chapter 360

It can be seen that Neiji Okamura had high expectations for the three men, Machi Ryoki, Saito Yaheita, and Nakai Ryotaro, and he dispatched the Chief of Military Staff Toshijiro Miyata side by side to coordinate, hoping that their three divisions could be destroyed Zhizhi resolved the battle in Nanchang as soon as possible within 48 hours, and then he could carry out the next step to lure the enemy and annihilate the main force of the Chinese field army. During the battle in Wuhan, he lost a whole division in Wanjialing. This is something that has never happened in the history of the imperial army of the Great Japanese Empire.

Although until now the military department has not admitted that the 66060th Division was completely wiped out by the squadron, but in Neiji Okamura's view, it is meaningless to argue. Inaba Shiro, the head of the Sixth Division, commanded the [-]th Division according to his own requirements, and carried out his own orders with the one-fifty-thousandth map he stole from Sun Chuanfang. As a result, they were surrounded and wiped out by the squadron because of the map. Of the [-]th Division with more than [-] people, only a dozen people escaped by pretending to be dead.Anti-Japanese Blood Sacrifice Mountains and Rivers [-]

So this time Okamura Ningji gave priority to replenishing veterans and recruits to the 1000st and 300th Divisions, and transferred troops to temporarily change them into a Type A division, equipped with heavy artillery and chariots. , the implication is to be ashamed, not only the [-]st Division and the [-]th Division, but more of him Okamura Neiji, so he insisted on using the [-]st The two divisions and the [-]th Division were belittled by domestic newspapers as the weakest in Japan in the past [-] years, and even compared them to the Korean farmers and soldiers [-] years ago.

The Japanese army had already approached the city, and Zhang Lingfu inspected the positions of the four regiments, one battalion and one company overnight!In the middle of the night, a fog filled the mountains and fields!Because it was the first battle, Zhang Lingfu put up the fourth regiment, one battalion, one company and the fifth regiment, one battalion and one company of his fist troops on the two commanding heights of Jiuling and Mufu as soon as he made a move. Taking each other as opponents, the two young company commanders also challenged each other at the swearing-in meeting to see who wiped out the most Japanese troops and who suffered the fewest casualties.

After inspecting the commanding heights of Jiuling and Mufu, Zhang Lingfu repeatedly warned Xu Guangyi and Zhang Wenshan to beware of the possibility of a surprise attack by the Japanese army in the early hours of the morning, because the quietest time is usually before the war.

At 1939 o'clock in the morning on March 3, 25, Saito Yaheita, the commander of the [-]st Division of the Japanese Army, sat in the command post with his hands on his sword and his eyes slightly closed. The Japanese soldiers of the Second Infantry Battalion of the [-]th Infantry Regiment removed all the equipment that could make noise on their bodies, and replaced the suede hard-soled leather shoes with rubber shoes with the big toe crossed from the other four. The cut wooden sticks were painted several times with ink even on the bayonets. Under the cover of the night, they formed four echelons and slowly climbed towards the main peak of Jiuling. The artillery group of the [-]st Division is also on standby, ready to conduct artillery test fire at any time, so as to calculate the horizontal and vertical coordinates of the target and facilitate the implementation of artillery support.

Different from the [-]st Division, the vanguard of the [-]th Division to attack Makufu consisted of only two squadrons, pulling the skirmish line and carefully climbing towards the main peak. In a command post within [-] km, he commanded the four regiment leaders under him. Since the [-]st Division and the [-]th Division are Type B divisions with a special three-unit formation, there is no brigade organization. Temporarily expanded into a Type A division system, and after the battle is over, the organization of the three infantry regiments will be restored. Therefore, Saito Yaheita and Nakai Ryotaro are far less worry-free than Machi Ryoki. After formulating the battle plan, Just go to sleep with peace of mind, and leave everything to the brigade commander under him.

Although the terrain in the east of Nanchang is wide, it definitely cannot accommodate the attack of an infantry regiment. The dense offensive formation can only be killed by the enemy's firepower. Therefore, the head of the No.11 Infantry Brigade, Tokutaro Tokutaro After discussing with No. 30 Sixth Infantry Brigade Commander Ushido Man, he decided to use the strength of a brigade as a test first, and focus on attacking the exposed central gun firepower points and artillery positions with artillery fire, and cooperate with tanks and artillery positions after dawn. Air support, better use of the firepower advantage of the imperial army, as long as a large number of enemy troops are killed, the enemy army will naturally retreat, especially this time the siege of the city is to besieged twice, and the enemy has a route and direction to escape calmly However, according to the usual style of the squadron, after suffering a heavy blow, they will definitely give up their positions and run away.

The battle started when the Japanese were trying to climb the first of the three vertical defensive slopes, when a Japanese soldier stepped on a French landmine, the M1904, made by Gao Fei from Nanchang Ordnance The old antiques found in the warehouse were buried in the forward position scatteredly with the mentality of giving it a try. The explosion in the direction of Jiuling caused the two commanding heights of Jiuling and Mufu to fire flares with mortars at the same time.

Tom!Tom!The flares fired by the dull mortars illuminated the dark land with the light of a disastrous defeat. The surprised Japanese soldiers were taken aback. When they looked at the flares in the night sky, the machine guns on the defensive positions rang. Suddenly, the violent firepower like a storm knocked the Japanese army upside down, and the Japanese officers and soldiers who were shot fell down piece by piece like cutting wheat.

Some Japanese soldiers who reacted tried to use the dead angle of the vertical defense section to avoid the suppressing firepower of the defenders. As a result, before they could catch their breath, the long-handled grenades of the Chinese defenders fell like raindrops. Amidst the sound and gunpowder, the Japanese officers and soldiers fell from the hillside cracklingly, and then several rounds of mortar shells hit the position [-] meters behind the first Japanese attack wave, and the third and fourth Japanese attack waves suddenly appeared. The heavy casualties, the tumbling corpses hindered the Japanese army's attack, and the screams of the wounded immediately disintegrated the fighting spirit of the Japanese army. Facing the defensive positions raining bullets, the four waves of the Japanese army, known for their tenacity, The attack launched two waves, and they all retreated in a panic.

At this moment, how many Japanese artillery shells with particularly obvious explosion light clusters fell on different positions of the position?Xu Guangyi, the captain and commander of the [-]th Regiment, [-]st Battalion, and [-]st Company, suddenly realized that something was wrong. The Japanese army was calibrating artillery fire, and they were using the coordinated data group calibration method of multiple guns!This method of calibrating the guns of the Japanese army can be described as fast and accurate. It is much more effective than the Japanese artillery test firing, modifying the parameters, and then testing the guns, then modifying the parameters and then firing salvos. It also requires artillery to have very high military literacy.
