Special Forces of Crossing: Cloud's Anti-Japanese

Chapter 1384 Prelude to the Offensive
This cold snap is naturally extremely beneficial to the attacker.The Xiushui and Panyang Lake water systems, these "natural dangers" that originally hindered the 11th Army's offensive pace, have now accumulated a thick layer of ice, and at least it will become a smooth road for a period of time.

The 33rd Division was wiped out at Lions Gate, which was naturally a great blow to Neiji Okamura.The battle report from his side was sent back to the base camp in Tokyo, and the next moment, a severe reprimand from the military came.Neiji Okamura, the three-bathed bird highly appreciated by the emperor, was notified of criticism for the first time and was given a serious warning. Bao, and will bear the corresponding criminal responsibility, and will be escorted back to China for trial.

Okamura Ningji is also a bit of a backer. After taking over as the commander of the 11th Army, because of repeated collisions with the Xuebing Army, although in the Battle of Madang, he finally captured Madang and won the Battle of Wuhan. However, due to the excessive loss of the troops under his command, the merits and demerits were offset, and he could only keep the position of commander of the 11th Army.Originally, according to the course of history, after the victory in the Battle of Wuhan, he would be transferred to North China to take charge of the military and political work in North China.

The reason why Okamura was considered a famous general by the Japanese in that time and space was because of his performance in North China, but now that this opportunity has been lost, his title of "famous general" is far away in the foreseeable future.

In fairness, the collapse of the 33rd Division has little to do with Okamura.After Okamura received the order from the military department, he immediately sent his troops to withdraw from the Nanchang area to avoid further entanglement with Xue Yue's department.However, Kanji Shigetaro insisted on going his own way and continued to stay in the Gao'an area, so the Xuebing Army seized the opportunity to beat him up.

The 33rd Division was wiped out, which naturally aroused Okamura's vigilance.Although the 33rd Division is a Type B division, it still has nearly [-] people, and the cadet army was wiped out within two days and nights (Okamura included Naoki Araki's ambush). How big a troop will the student army have to dispatch?Moreover, when did the Xuebing Army enter Jiangxi?
Okamura was doing analysis with reference to the map in the house. Yoshimoto Sadaji walked in from the outside. He looked excited and said, "Your Excellency, the snow has stopped! Just now, I took someone to test the thickness of the ice surface, which is enough to pass the battle. car!"

The 17th Division was severely damaged by Yu Jishi's Ministry in Madang, and almost the entire army was wiped out. After reorganization, its tank troops were expanded to a brigade-level organization.It is precisely because of the existence of the 17th Tank Brigade that Yokoyama led the 17th Division to fight invincible throughout Jiangxi. Now, the Department and the 11th Tank Brigade of the 12th Division have already It became the ace unit that Okamura Ningji wanted to severely defeat the student army.After receiving a report from Gan Yan and learning that the Xuebing Army had tank units joining, he paid more and more attention to these two tank units, and not only forced the command of the 17th Tank Brigade and the 12th Tank Wing The authority was taken back to the headquarters, and a wing was specially designated for protection.

Okamura looked away from the map and looked at Yoshimoto. After a few seconds, he asked, "Have Yamada and the others come back?"

Yamada was the commander of the reconnaissance unit sent by Okamura to investigate the situation on the south bank. Hearing this, Yoshimoto's excited expression froze and he said, "I haven't come back yet."

Okamura's face became serious, and he said coldly: "We don't even know the situation of the Chinese people's defense on the south bank. If we attack rashly, I'm afraid we will fall into the trap of the Chinese people. Go to Yokoyama in person immediately and tell He, without my order, is not allowed to let any troops above the brigade cross the river! For this order, you give a copy to Nakajima, Yamamuro, and Yamada. In addition, get in touch with Tokugawa Hotoshi immediately and ask him to dispatch enough A large number of reconnaissance planes, let's find out the distribution of the enemy troops on the other side first!"

"Hay!"

However, it snowed one day, and until the 27th, the Japanese army frequently dispatched scouts to scout the enemy on the south bank. Zhang Tianquan and Arthur did their part to dispatch scouts to fight back. After two days of fierce fighting, the Japanese army lost about one squadron of scouts successively, but did not obtain any valuable information. This made Okamura very angry. In a rage, he dispatched the captain of the gendarmerie brigade directly under the headquarters. Yamada Kojiro presided over this work himself, but now it seems that Yamada is also on the south bank.

At around three o'clock in the afternoon, the reconnaissance plane of the Japanese First Air Corps appeared over Nanchang.

Ouyang Yun pointed to the reconnaissance plane Connor and said, "Did you see it, the Japanese reconnaissance plane."

Connor: "It's just a reconnaissance plane. Next, they may not launch an attack."

"Connor, I still say that, do you dare to bet with me?"

"No, you have more information than me, so you can naturally judge more accurately than me."

"Then forget it—" Ouyang Yun smiled and didn't force him anymore, but in his heart, he was a little worried: Okamura is a cautious person, he wouldn't really just be stationed on the north shore, would he? !
One after another reconnaissance planes flew over Nanchang, some continued to fly south, some turned east and west, and some flew around Nanchang for a long time before turning back. Seeing this scene, Ouyang Yun felt more and more in his heart Definitely, I think this is the prelude to Okamura's preparation to launch an attack.

On the 31st, at about five o'clock in the morning, on the north bank of Xiushui, 1000 meters east of Yongxing Township Government, facing Yongxiu County, in the dark night, a beam of light turned on and then went out quickly, a few seconds later , The rapid "rustle" sounded. The sound of "rustle" went all the way south, and then became weaker and weaker. Suddenly, there was a sound of "pa", followed by a Japanese curse: "Bage! Everyone said watch your feet! Get up and keep up! "

At the same time, on the south bank, almost facing the brightly lit Xiushui shore, a group of shadowy human heads flickered, and a voice from among them softly said: "There is light! We have everything, ready to fight! Xiao Haonan, flares get ready!"

"Yes!"

After detecting the deployment of the Xuebing Army near Yongxiu County through a reconnaissance plane, Neji Okamura held a meeting overnight to formulate a surprise attack plan for this morning.

According to the plan, the 106th Division will first dispatch a brigade to attack Yongxiu County to attract the attention of the defenders on the south bank, and then attack the main position of the defenders at Nanjin Kiln from the front.At the same time, a regiment was dispatched to cross the river from Sanfang Village in the north of Yongxing Township and land at Qililing.If there is no Xuebing Army guarding the place, go south to Yaquehu Village, which is across the Liao River from Nanjin Kiln, and then go around to the back of Nanjin Kiln, attacking Nanjin Kiln from north to south.

At the same time, the 11th Division will cross Panyang Lake and attack Xiangshan. As for the 112th Division, it will go directly south to attack Yugan in order to prepare to outflank Nanchang and completely cut off the retreat of the Xuebing Army.

"Your gentlemen, whether you can be ashamed of the horse or not will come in the morning! Please do your best!" Finally, Okamura said so.

Yoshimoto, Yokoyama Isamu, Nakajima Seimura, Suzuki Harumatsu and others all said "Hai" in unison. Everyone was full of confidence in winning the next day's battle.
