The night was long, dark and quiet.

The sound of a pounding heartbeat, a heavy wheezing echoed through the silent night.

Nanchang was captured by devils in 10 days, which made every soldier who participated in the Nanchang Battle feel ashamed. ** There were four group armies, the 19th Army, the 30th Army, the 1st Army and the 32nd Army of the 3rd Theater in the 9th Theater, against three divisions and one mixed brigade of the Japanese army. But he was defeated, and everyone couldn't help but ask themselves: Is the devil really invincible?

The commander on the Nanchang battlefield is Luo Zhuoying, Luo Zhuoying is not a mediocre person, he has him in the Battle of Songhu, he has him in the Nanjing Defense Battle, and he also has him in the Battle of Xuzhou and the Battle of Wuhan, but let him guard Nanchang, the troops are a little stretched. The defense troops of the northern Jiangxi front were mainly tired divisions that had been withdrawn from the front line during the Battle of Wuhan and were exhausted from the front line. There are two group armies in northern Jiangxi, one is Luo Zhuoying's 19th Group Army arranged along the right bank of Xiushui in Nanchang, and this group army has a total of 13 infantry divisions under the jurisdiction of five armies, relying on Poyang Lake and spreading along the line of Xiushui. On the Wuning side, Wang Lingji's 30th Group Army, with a total of eight infantry divisions in three armies, deployed on the left bank of Xiushui to connect the front line of the 19th Group Army. In addition, there is also a general guerrilla headquarters in the Hunan-Hubei-Jiangxi border region.

In terms of the configuration of the defensive line, Luo Zhuoying still adopts the traditional single-line arming of the first line. Although he had twenty-one infantry divisions, because each regular infantry division could only be responsible for a frontage of three to six kilometers, Commander-in-Chief Luo spread all his troops to the front line, and barely filled the front line that was more than 100 miles long, so that there was no reserve even left. Such a large force has no strategic depth, and if the Japanese army breaks through from one place, the whole line will be defeated. However, in addition to the first front set up along Xiushui, Commander-in-Chief Luo also used the terrain to build a complex position zone in the Fuhe area, a natural barrier outside Nanchang City, and the first line of position was about two kilometers deep and the position was completely organized. In terms of front planning, Commander-in-Chief Luo took advantage of the hills and lakes and marshes in northern Jiangxi to deploy defenses according to the situation, so that when the Japanese army was attacking Nanchang on the right bank of Xiushui, it was forced to confine itself to a narrow front of more than 10 kilometers on the Yongxiu side. In the formation of the defensive line, Luo Zhuoying did his best. The Military Commission also demanded that he must defend Nanchang to the death, and not give Nanchang City to devils.

Nanchang City is surrounded by mountains on all sides, the front is dependent on the Ganjiang River, the back is leaning on the Fuhe River and the Jinjiang River, the rivers are staggered, the hills are extended, it is said that it is easy to defend and difficult to attack. However, Nanchang City is in the lower reaches of the Ganjiang River, on the delta on the shore of Poyang Lake, is the water and land key points of Hunan, Jiangxi, and Zhejiang, and the Zhejiang-Jiangxi Railway and the Nanxun Railway meet in Nanchang, and the Xiangtang Highway is connected with the Beijing-Hunan National Highway. And the Japanese army also happened to see this and organized a powerful mechanized army to attack Nanchang. I really don't know if this counts as shooting yourself in the foot.

On 17 March, the Japanese attacked first. The squadron and the Japanese invading army fought fiercely in the Nanchang area. In just ten days, the Chinese defenders lost Nanchang, and they were truly defeated. The squadron retreated westward, and the Japanese army then pursued westward, capturing the important town of Gao'an on April 2. After that, due to the lack of troops, the Japanese army stopped the pursuit and withdrew part of its troops from the Nanchang area for other battlefields, and the shape was relatively stable.

In fact, China's soldiers are not afraid of bloodshed or sacrifice, but after all, flesh and blood cannot stop the steel cannon, plus our passive defense, the strength is insufficient. These are the reasons for the defeat on the battlefield of Nanchang.

Now that the highest authorities want to recapture Nanchang, I have to say that this is a big test for Luo Zhuoying.

The counterattack on Nanchang has been brewing for nearly half a month, and now the soldiers are preparing to retake Nanchang in several ways, Zhang Fugui is a veteran who came down from the Nanchang battlefield, he is an ordinary soldier belonging to the third war zone, Nanchang left him indelible memories, artillery fire in the sky, broken arms, and rivers of blood.

Zhang Fugui is used to life and death, as a veteran, he knows how to protect himself, but even if he is used to life and death, whenever he sees the tragic death of his former comrades-in-arms, he still feels like a knife.

The Nanchang battlefield was the most tragic street battle in the end, the devil's aircraft and artillery blew Nanchang beyond recognition, and the whole city was filled with the smell of blood and fire. Zhang Fugui and they fought to the end of less than 20 people left, some of these people were veterans who survived the battle of Wuhan, but they didn't expect to die here in the end, there was a soldier named Wang Ping, his father hoped that he would be safe, but unfortunately he finally died under the devil's knife, he was picked open by the devil's bayonet, and his intestines were left on the ground. But he still pulled the grenade on his body and died with the devil.

There is also a soldier named Xiaohu, a company commander's guard, only 16 years old this year, the damn war made this child appreciate the cruelty of war in advance, in the street battle with the devil, he was cut off by one of the commanders of the devil, and died in wailing.

Recently, Zhang Fugui felt like he was going crazy when he saw his dead brother as soon as he closed his eyes, and it was only now that he was lying in the grass on the outskirts of Nanchang City. Because he knew that he was about to rush to Nanchang City not far away, and he didn't know whether he was alive or dead. However, it may be a relief to be able to meet his dead brother again. He couldn't help but think.

"Today is April 23, and the 32nd Army of the Third Theater crossed the Fuhe River with the 16th Division, the 79th Division, the 5th Reserve Division and the 10th Reserve Division of the 29th Army today to attack Nanchang. "This is the order issued by Shangfeng this morning, Zhang Fugui is a soldier of the 79th Division, everyone is waiting for the commander to give the order, rushing to the bloody memory of Nanchang City.

"Rush, kill"

"Boom, boom, boom"

"Da, da, da"

The sudden sound sounded without warning, startling the devil.

The 16th Division, the 79th Division, the 5th Reserve Division, and the 10th Reserve Division opened fire at the same time, pressing towards Nanchang City.

The divisions had exchanged fire with the Japanese, and it was no longer clear which was their own team, so everyone just rushed forward with their heads down, hoping to reach the bottom of the city wall and blow open the gate.

According to intelligence, the 1st Army of China attacked Fengxin with the 184th Division of the 60th Army and the new 10th Division of the 58th Army, monitored the Japanese army in Jing'an with the new 11th Division of the 58th Army, attacked Gao'an with the main force of the 74th Army, crossed the Jinjiang River north with the 74th Army and the 49th Army, and attacked Dacheng and Shengmi. Our army retreated to the areas of Fengxin, Qiuling, and Wanshou Palace. The 19th Army conquered Daecheng, Gaoan, Shengmi Street and other strongholds. However, it was difficult to make progress and was blocked by our troops. Major General Ming Defuyi, the senior staff officer of the devil, pointed to the map and said.

Okamura Ninji stood up, walked to the front of the map, and said to a group of high-ranking Japanese officers: "Ladies and gentlemen, the counterattack of the Shina people is very sharp, but they cannot defeat the warriors of our Imperial Japan. Now I order: the main force of the 101st Division will carry out a counterattack and launch a counterattack to the south of Nanchang, the 106th Division will reinforce Fengxin, and the 6th Division will be mobile in operation. Mixed into a brigade to defend the city. I await the good news from you. ”

"Hail"

The Japanese officers replied in unison, then walked out of the conference room and began to set up the battle.
