Chapter 370 Three Days and Nights of Bloody Battle ([-])

The living defenders came from seven or eight different companies. Like the natives, they used all the weapons they could use to prepare for the Japanese attack. Fight together until they die.

The fortifications on the position had been completely destroyed long ago. The living defenders built the corpses of both the enemy and us into parapets. Hugging together like brothers, it seems that only death can teach the greed and bestiality of the Japanese the lessons they deserve.Anti-Japanese Blood Sacrifice Mountains and Rivers 67771

The Japanese army was extremely puzzled by the Chinese soldiers who were still able to hold their positions tenaciously under the fierce and unusual artillery fire?It seems that the tenacity of Chinese soldiers has exceeded the scope of human beings?Saito Yahei put down his binoculars very helplessly, the line of defense piled up with corpses made him shudder, how could such an enemy be defeated?

The high-explosive grenade turned over the entire main peak position countless times, the anti-personnel grenade screamed and flew in the air, and the arson bomb made the soil start to burn, but none of these seemed to be able to completely kill the Chinese soldiers. The failure made Saito Yahei feel terrified. The casualties of troops and the massive consumption of ammunition made Saito Yahei even pessimistically produce a kind of complete despair.

And Zhang Lingfu, who was in charge of the command, was also extremely shocked, because at this rate of consumption, the three regiments under his second brigade would probably be consumed within a few days, and some of them would be exhausted in less than an hour. They were wiped out. This kind of casualty rate is definitely not what the new division can bear. It is very difficult to train troops, especially young officers at the grassroots level. Zhang Lingfu has realized that certain changes must be made to the status quo. Although The two main peak positions in Jiuling and Mufu also killed and wounded a large number of Japanese troops, but the casualties of his own troops were even more unacceptable to Zhang Lingfu. He fought many big battles, bloody battles, and fierce battles, but the entire platoon and company of officers and soldiers quickly The sacrifice was unprecedented. On such a palm-sized position, even the Iron Man couldn't bear it when the Japanese bombarded it!

What's more serious is the increasingly violent and frequent bombing by the Japanese army. The only air defense force in the city is ten German-made flak18 88mm anti-aircraft guns.

Although the main purpose of the flak18 is for air-to-air shooting, a five-mm-thick anti-aircraft shield was added to the mount of the flak18 88mm anti-aircraft gun sold to China to protect the gunner's safety, and additional guns were installed for shooting. Standard instrument for ground targets.

However, the flak18 88mm anti-aircraft gun also has a big disadvantage, that is, it takes a long time to prepare for the artillery to enter the battle, and it is very difficult to replace the barrel after continuous long-term shooting. Previously, Gao Fei wanted to use the flak18 88mm anti-aircraft gun as an anti-tank weapon.

But the Japanese tanks are too vulnerable to a single blow, and they don't need such a powerful weapon as the flak18 88mm anti-aircraft gun. In history, the flak18 88mm anti-aircraft gun has proved that it has excellent anti-aircraft fire in the French campaign and the Northeast African battle. Tank capability has become the number one killer of the Allied tank troops. In fact, the flak18 is not an ideal anti-tank weapon. It is too large and too heavy.In addition, the flak18 can be used as a field gun, with a maximum range of 4000 to [-] meters for indirect shooting, but this will wear out the gun bore.

The number of flak18 88mm anti-aircraft guns owned by the Chinese defenders is too small to form a firepower air defense network, and it also lacks the cover and support of small-caliber anti-aircraft guns. It is definitely a move that is not worth the candle, and the Japanese troops are dispatched by Mitsubishi. The Type 18 heavy-duty bomber belongs to a high-altitude horizontal bomber with a bomb load of one ton. When the ground anti-aircraft firepower is insufficient, it fires into the air. The result is unpredictable. The transfer speed of the flak88 18mm anti-aircraft gun is very slow. Therefore, the flak88 [-]mm anti-aircraft gun group in the preset position was ordered to hide and stand by!

On the other hand, the entire Nanchang operation was actually an overall large-scale defense campaign by the troops of the Ninth Theater of China against the Japanese Central China Dispatch in Nanchang. Nanchang is adjacent to Poyang Lake in the east and Ganjiang River in the west. The Zhejiang-Jiangxi Railway in the ninth and ninth theaters also threatens Wuhan, which is regarded as a strategic base by the Japanese army along the river, and there is also an airfield of the Chinese Air Force.

Therefore, after the Japanese army occupied Wuhan, in order to consolidate its occupation and maintain the transportation line in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, it decided to launch the Battle of Nanchang. The 20st Division, the 11th Division, the 33th Division, and the 20th Division, with the cooperation of the Marine Corps and the First Division of the Air Force, totaled more than [-] troops, led by the No.[-] Army Commander Neiji Okamura commanded a unit to contain China's southern Hubei and northern Hunan troops, and the main force attacked Nanchang in March. On the Chinese side, Xue Yue, the acting commander of the Ninth Theater, commanded [-] armies and [-] divisions in total. Thousands of people launched defensive operations.

In fact, in the early stage of the battle, the strength of the Japanese army did not have an advantage, and Xue Yue also fell into Okamura Ningji's plan to divert the tiger away from the mountain, which exhausted the Chinese defenders in the entire Nanchang area, so that Xue Yue was forced to defend Nanchang to the death, leaving the main force of the Japanese army Surrounding the main force of the Japanese army approaching the city of Nanchang from an outside line, according to the normal ratio of troops and past battle examples, if Xue Yue wants to annihilate the three main divisions of the Japanese army approaching the city of Nanchang, he must have at least one to five troops to carry out the encirclement. According to the theoretical data, the squadron does not yet have the ability to wipe out more than three divisions of the Japanese army at once. Moreover, the Japanese army has a very strong will to fight, and few people surrender. Even if they run out of ammunition and food, they will launch suicide attacks or bayonet attacks. hand-to-hand combat.

The bloody battle in Nanchang, which has been going on for two days, can be said to involve the whole body. The situation of the new division defending Nanchang alone makes Chiang Kai-shek, who is camped in Chongqing, very worried. Almost every day, several telegrams are sent to Xue Yue's command post to inquire about the situation. , Chiang Kai-shek also knew that only the strength of the ninth war zone could not threaten the Japanese attacking Nanchang in a very short period of time and make them withdraw their troops, so he urgently dispatched Gu Zhu from the third war zone to cooperate with Xue Yue in the battle.

Chiang Kai-shek also realized that Xue Yue's so-called outer-line encirclement plan was too wishful thinking!
