Explosions roared on the river, tens of thousands of troops fought along an almost dry river, bullets were flying, explosions were roaring, the blood of the predecessors stained the trenches red, and the blood of the invaders stained the river red. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The Japanese artillery is bombarding, and the artillery of our army is also bombarding, blasting shells, anti-personnel grenades, incendiary bombs, poison gas bombs. Heavy machine guns, light machine guns, rifles, pistols, and even broadknives are harvesting every life on the battlefield.

Whether it was a farmer before, a student, or a child of a rich family, it has nothing to do with these, people who have never met each other, huddle together here, and people who have never offended and don't want to know are here to fight with you!

On the river beach, there was blood and corpses everywhere in the river, and the positions were also full of corpses, a squad, a platoon, a company, and even a battalion were exhausted, and the reserves were replenished.

In the same way, the Japanese army was making up for the back, and the war was fought from dark to dawn, and more than a dozen counterattacks of the Japanese army were forcefully knocked back.

At dawn, the Japanese offensive finally stopped, and the long night turned thousands of lives into smoke, both good and vicious, destined to lie on this land. Waiting to rot!

The Japanese counterattack was finally contained, and after a night of fighting, both the Japanese army and the Chinese army had reached the limit, and a river became an insurmountable natural danger on both sides.

They are all tired, hungry, need to rest, and need to replenish ammunition, the Japanese army is still replenishing ammunition, but the First Army and the 74th Army have no ammunition replenishment, some soldiers have not even a single bullet, and the grenades have been lost, and even the most soldiers have no more than ten bullets in their hands.

Half of the heavy machine guns were left without bullets, the rest were only hundreds, all the mortar shells were used up, and there were less than a hundred shells left in the heavy guns on the mountain.

Faced with such a situation, Wan Baobang had no choice but to order his troops to shrink the defensive line and concentrate ammunition to prevent the Japanese counterattack.

Similarly, the 74th Army was also shrinking its defensive line, and it was completely impossible for them to rush across the river without bullets, and the established task of capturing the Nanxun Railway could no longer be completed.

Similarly, Luo Zhuoying, the commander-in-chief in charge of the Nanchang counteroffensive, constantly urged the troops to offensive, and also constantly urged the central government to dry up and deploy ammunition.

"Sir Xue, if the ammunition doesn't come up, my soldiers can only fight bayonets"! Luo Zhuoying said.

"You must resist, overcome all difficulties, and I will do my best to replenish the ammunition for you quickly." Xue Yue affirmed.

"The Japanese army has found that our army is running out of ammunition, they are organizing a counterattack, our army's ammunition is tight on all fronts, and it will be difficult to resist in this way"!

"I have already reported this matter to the chairman of the committee, the chairman of the committee has specially increased the number of people to transport ammunition, at the latest tonight, we will definitely replenish the ammunition for you, you must resist, the chairman said, we must overcome all difficulties and not be afraid of sacrifice, who dares to break the military law without authorization"! Xue Yue said.

"Yes"!

Having said that, after all, the entire counteroffensive was underprepared, ammunition was often tight, and the attack was naturally not effective, and some places had even been captured, but because of the lack of ammunition, the Japanese army counterattacked back, and the difficulty of attacking again became greater and greater every time. The Japanese army took this opportunity to make all kinds of preparations, and in such a situation, no matter which unit attacked smoothly, it was gradually blocked by the Japanese army.

The battle was fought until the 28th, and the main attack on Nanchang had already entered Nanchang, but the Japanese army was also desperately resisting, and the captured positions were lost and lost, lost and regained, coming and going, and struggling for several days could not completely capture Nanchang.

The heavy casualties of the attacking troops had reached an unbearable level, and the attrition of the main attacking division had reached more than 60 percent.

However, the attack continued, the 32nd Group Army suffered heavy casualties, and many requests for retreat and replenishment were strictly ordered not to take half a step back; on the other hand, the chairman strictly ordered the surrounding troops to attack, and they must completely break through the Japanese defense line on May 1 and besiege Nanchang!

It was necessary to capture Nanchang on 5 May, but the Japanese army was already fully prepared for the attack, and the ammunition was tight, and the artillery of many units became decorations.

The First Army and the 74th Army were unable to break through the Japanese defense line for many days in the direction of the Jinjiang River, and not only that, but the Japanese army also counterattacked many times, and after the desperate counterattack of our army, the Japanese army could not pass, and they could not get through, and the war fell into a long stalemate.

This is what the Japanese army wants to see the most, as long as the surrounding troops cannot launch a general offensive, they can send troops to besiege the 32nd Group Army that is lone in depth, if it can completely annihilate a group army, it can be said that it is a unique victory, both in terms of results and morale, it is a major blow to the Chinese army!

The only good news to be happy about is that the 58th Army captured Dongping after fierce fighting and is still advancing, albeit slowly.

Similarly, Lu Hai and the others failed to succeed in a sneak attack, and the Japanese army's defense was tight and could not penetrate, so they could only linger behind the Japanese army to report the movements of our Japanese army.

On 3 May, the long-awaited replenishment of ammunition finally arrived, although it was not much, but it also gave the First Army the strength to fight a war.

Braving the fierce air raids of the Japanese army, the soldiers and civilians in our rear united to deliver 10,000 rounds of artillery shells to the hands of the First Army.

Similarly, 200,000 rounds of ammunition were deliberately replenished, and 30,000 grenades.

The ammunition of the 74th Army was replenished more sufficiently, with more than 20,000 rounds of artillery shells, 100,000 rounds of ammunition and more than 30,000 grenades in one army.

After receiving the ammunition, all the troops of the First Army, except for the new 11th Division and the 183rd Division, which were not on the south bank of the Jinjiang River, had already begun to assemble rapidly.

Wan Baobang sorted out the coordinates reported by Lu Hai one by one, and ordered the troops to attack at night and be sure to capture the Nanxun Railway.

At eight o'clock in the evening, three red signal flares rushed into the sky, and immediately after, our artillery opened fire on all fronts, and one shell after another rushed into the sky, and then smashed heavily on the front line of the Japanese army.

The sudden artillery bombardment killed and wounded the Japanese troops at the front, and similarly, the artillery of the 74th Army also opened fire with all its might, and all the positions sounded the trumpet of the charge, sang the military song and began to force the crossing.

The first round of shelling, the second round of shelling, and the third round of shelling, our artillery fire bombarded them with all their might, and the attacking troops began to force the rafts that had been prepared in advance, and each raft was equipped with iron bulletproof plates.

The artillery fire seemed to have finally taken effect, and the strength of the two battalions had completely attacked the Japanese defense, and the follow-up troops were launching a steady stream of attacks.

At the headquarters of the 106th Division, the division commander hurriedly spoke: "What's going on"?

"Division commander, the Chinese army launched a surprise attack on our army under heavy artillery fire, the forward positions have been captured, and the offensive of the Chinese army has been fully launched"!

"How is that possible? Aren't they out of ammunition? Besides, we have prepared so many lines of defense, how can we be breached in such a short time"?

"The artillery fire of the Chinese army seems to have been aimed at us for a long time, and once the artillery was fired, all the artillery hit our vital points, including the key points in depth, and they have already rushed up with the help of artillery fire, what should we do"?

"Report to the commander of the division, the 74th Army of China has also broken through the defense line of our army, and they are trying to encircle our army from the flank"! A communications soldier spoke.

"What to do with the division commander"? The chief of staff said urgently.

"Why don't we get out of here?"

"Shut up! You are shaking the heart of my army, I will kill you! Inform the troops to shrink the line of defense and rely on the high ground to launch a counterattack"!

"Inform our jihadist troops to send me all the gas bombs"!

After finishing speaking, the division commander picked up the phone again and shook his mouth and said: "Your Excellency, your Excellency, our army was attacked by the Zhina Army, and the position was already precarious, I decided to lead my troops to resist desperately and ask the division commander for urgent reinforcements"!

"You must hold on, don't retreat a single step, I will send a detachment to reinforce you!"

"Yes"!

A brigade of the 106th Division, which was previously part of the Saji detachment, was later expanded into three infantry brigades, plus an artillery brigade, about 5,000 men.

The 106th Division originally had more than 30,000 men, although there were still more than 20,000 soldiers after large-scale attrition, while the attacking First Army plus the 74th Army had only five divisions, with a total strength of less than 50,000.

Although it was two to one, Lu Han and they were also worried, if the Japanese army stubbornly defended, even if they could advance, they would inevitably suffer heavy casualties, and the Japanese army was very likely to counterattack.

However, if this war wants to be fought or not, it must be fought, it can only be fought, if they can't get by, the 32nd Army may be wiped out at any time!

After several lines of defense of the Japanese army were broken through, the Japanese army formed a defensive position on the high ground five kilometers deep and blocked it with all their might!

"Quickly shift the position, all the artillery fire is moving forward, inform the forward soldiers not to rush to attack, wait for artillery support"! Wan Bao Bang urgent.

A few minutes later, the attacking troops at the front began to consolidate their defensive lines, waiting for the artillery bombardment of our army, because the Japanese army refused to hold high, and if there was no artillery support, the casualties would definitely be extremely heavy, and another reason was that they needed to wait for the roundabout encirclement of the 74th Army to completely defeat them!

The artillerymen dragged the mountain guns one after another and quickly advanced towards the front line, and many soldiers ran quickly with heavy shells.

"Divisional commander! Battalion Commander Lu telegraphed: "! A communications soldier said.

Wan Baobang took the telegram and looked at it, and immediately frowned and said, "Hurry up and send a telegram to the 74th Army!" Inform them that Japanese reinforcements have arrived"!

"Yes"!

"Inform the 184th Division that in half an hour prepare a feint to attract the Japanese army to expose firepower"!

"Yes"!

Half an hour later, Wan Baobang's heavy artillery finally arrived one after another, and at this time, Zeng Zesheng's regiment and Yang Hongyuan's regiment began to attack on all fronts, and shells whistled towards the Japanese position!

At this time, a large number of Japanese troops and heavy tanks appeared in the encirclement temporarily purchased by the 74th Army! (To be continued.) )
