Chapter 310 Okamura Ninji who is worried
Do you still want to keep Nanchang?
The decision on this issue is up to the tiger cub.
His original plan was to consume the Japanese troops in Nanchang and strike at the edge of the Japanese attack, and then let the troops withdraw to Hunan.
After all, objectively speaking, Nanchang, as an isolated city, really can't be defended.
Almost all of his troop deployments revolved around northern Xiangbei.
But now, it seems, that has changed
As soon as the Battle of Nanchang began, the Japanese lost three wings.
This was a big surprise to him.
The entire 6th Division of the Japanese army had already lost almost half of its strength.
According to this trend, if Okamura Ningji does not increase his troops, he will not be able to defeat Nanchang at all.
If there was only the 60th Army, he would not dare to make this conclusion.
After all, the Japanese army was strong in combat.
It's hard to say whether it can hold it or not.
But there is a new brigade of Li Lei there, so that's another matter.
Tiger Boy is sure that as long as Li Lei is there, Nanshan's position will definitely not be lost.
Even, he still has extra troops to support Wanjialing.
Li Lei has now killed a heavy artillery brigade of the Japanese army.
On the Nanchang side, the Japanese army no longer had the cover of heavy artillery.
If he thought of fighting Nanchang again, Okamura Ninji had to draw troops from Hunan.
This was an extremely difficult decision for Okamura Ninji.
He only has a total of three divisions, and now Hunan's troops are a bit insufficient.
If he is transferred again, he will not be able to beat this Hunan.
However, if Okamura Ninji did not transfer troops, and only looked at the remaining half of the Sixth Division's troops, it would be impossible to capture Nanchang.
Tiger Tsai even thought that if the Sixth Division moved slowly, would the entire division be killed by Li Lei.
After all, Li Lei's troops are too powerful in weaponry.
Even airplanes are available.
With the 60th Army and the 6th Division of the Japanese Army, it is still possible to break wrists.
This time, the campaign plan should be adjusted.
The tiger boy stared at the map of Nanchang and fell into deep thought.
After the Mitsui Wing in Nanshan was annihilated, Li Lei went to Nanchang City, the headquarters of the 60th Army.
Because he had received a telegram from Deputy Commander Luo, he had important matters to discuss with him.
After seeing the telegram, Zhao Gang's first feeling was, is the Japanese army's attack on Wanjialing too fierce for the national army to stop?
Li Lei heard Zhao Gang's analysis and felt that it was very possible.
After all, the Japanese army that attacked Nanshan came with a wing.
The rest of the Japanese Sixth Division was all in front of Wanjialing and Nanchang.
The pressure on the Sixtieth Army was great.
For this Deputy Commander Luo, Li Lei knew it when he studied history.
This is a Confucian general.
The War of Resistance was very active.
But the ability to command troops, to be honest, is very average.
He has suffered a lot of losses from Okamura Ningji.
Because of his command, it's too dull.
It's exactly according to the textbook.
Rarely flexible.
Okamura Ninji set up a cover, and he got headlong into it.
This time he sent a telegram to let him go, and Li Lei felt that Zhao Gang's guess was correct.
It should be Wanjialing, something went wrong.
Li Lei asked Li Yunlong and Chu Yunfei to watch the troops at home to prevent the little devils from attacking again.
Together with Zhao Gang, he went to Nanchang City.
At this time, Nanchang City basically can't see the common people.
Only the men of the 60th Army remained.
Li Lei and Zhao Gang went straight to the military headquarters of the 60th Army without stopping.
Deputy Commander Luo was frowning, and when he heard the report that Li Lei was coming, he hurried to greet him.
As soon as they walked outside the door, Li Lei and Zhao Gang came in.
"Deputy Commander Luo, hello." Li Lei saluted a military salute, and then shook hands with him.
Seeing Li Lei coming, Lao Luo Chouyun's bleak face immediately relaxed.
"Oh, Brigadier Li, you're here. This time, your troops are famous all over the world! ”
Lao Luo hurriedly gave up his seat to Li Lei.
"This is ......" Lao Luo looked at Zhao Gang, his eyes were very raw, he had never seen it.
"This is the political commissar of our new brigade, Zhao Gang." Li Lei introduced Lao Luo.
Zhao Gang also saluted: "Deputy Commander Luo, hello." ”
Lao Luo looked Zhao Gang up and down, and was very shocked.
This Zhao Gang is also very young.
He couldn't help but sigh that the Eighth Route Army was really eclectic.
Li Lei didn't see anything outside, and said directly: "I don't know if Deputy Commander Luo called us, what's the matter?" ”
When Lao Luo heard Li Lei say this, his old face turned red.
He was too embarrassed to say.
This morning, the Japanese army Wanjialing caused heavy losses to his troops.
If the Japanese attack in the afternoon was still so ferocious, then Wanjialing would definitely not be able to hold it.
So he wanted to let Li Lei's plane support him.
If Li Lei's plane can carry out several rounds of bombing of the attacking Japanese army, then the combat effectiveness of the attacking Japanese army will be immediately reduced by half.
In this way, his troops should barely be able to hold Wanjialing.
Now his troops deployed in Wanjialing have the strength of a division.
It's simply not enough.
He didn't have any extra troops to send over.
If Li Lei's plane can support Wanjialing, then this battle will be easier.
Li Lei thought about it for a while, this problem should not be big.
In the absence of heavy artillery and aircraft, it was indeed more difficult to face the Japanese attack.
The reason why his new brigade was able to fight so smoothly was, to a greater extent, because his troops were well equipped.
After robbing the Japanese train, his troops were well stocked with ammunition.
The armament was much higher than that of the Japanese army.
In addition, there are planes, and this little devil is invincible.
The Sixtieth Army basically had only light weapons and not many mortars.
Under such circumstances, it was indeed very difficult to rely on the strength of one division to block the attack of a wing of the Japanese army.
It's good to be able to play like this.
It is estimated that this morning, the troops stationed in Wanjialing suffered heavy losses.
Li Lei agreed very happily, which made Lao Luo overjoyed.
Although they are all for fighting devils, they are two different troops after all.
Strictly speaking, he really can't command Li Lei.
After returning from Nanchang, Li Lei immediately sent a telegram to Wang Han.
Tell him to send six planes to support Wanjialing this afternoon.
The focus was on blowing up several tanks of the Japanese army, as well as artillery positions.
As long as the heavy firepower of the Japanese army is eliminated, the pressure on the guards will be much smaller.
After receiving the order, Wang Han immediately loaded bombs on six planes, and as long as the Japanese attacked, they could immediately provide support.
His airport is not far from Wanjialing, and it can be reached in an hour.
Okamura Ningji, who was in Wuhan, was worried.
His troops were no longer enough.
It is unrealistic to transfer troops from Hunan to Nanchang.
Now that Hunan's troops have begun to attack, if they hastily withdraw troops, it is very likely that the war in Hunan will not go smoothly either.
Now the Nara detachment and the Saeda detachment are attacking Linxiang and Yueyang.
The 106th Division is attacking in the direction of Gaoan.
The 33rd Division has entered southern Hunan.
In these three directions, a large number of troops were deployed in the Tiger Cub.
He simply couldn't draw extra troops to the Sixth Division.
The troops in Wuhan were mainly defensive, as well as in charge of logistics.
The combat effectiveness is relatively poor.
Moreover, if these troops are withdrawn, Wuhan will be empty.
If Wuhan is insufficient, it will be attacked by the other side at that time.
That's very dangerous.
But if he can't defeat Nanchang, the big battle he stopped this time will fail.
What a tough choice.
Aoki, chief of staff of the Japanese army, suggested whether it was possible to transfer half of the division's strength from the second division to stop the attack on Nanshan again.
In this way, although the troops in Wuhan are tight, they can fight even if they encounter a sneak attack.
Although the 2nd Division was sent from Shanxi, its combat effectiveness was not strong.
However, with the strength of half a division, I believe that there is no problem in taking Nanshan.
Okamura Ninji thought about it for a moment and thought it was okay.
The commander of the 2nd Division, Konoe Fumi, who received the order, was stunned for a moment.
We are a defensive division, and since we came from Shanxi, our mission has always been to be responsible for the defense of Wuhan.
Haven't been involved in a big war yet.
Now Okamura Ninji suddenly ordered him to send the forces of two wings to attack Nanshan.
It's weird.
Could it be that the strength of the Eleventh Army is no longer enough?
Konoe Wen twisted his brow and thought for a moment.
Namsan Mountain, that's a terrible place.
Our Imperial Japanese troops, there are three wings broken there.
And all of them are field troops.
My two wings passed, isn't this sent to death?
Konoe was very reluctant.
But the order had already come down, and he had to carry it out.
Immediately ordered the 1st Wing and 2nd Wing of the 2nd Division to set off for Nanshan.
From Wuhan to Nanshan, it takes almost a day.
At that time, the Hope Sixth Division had already occupied Nanchang.
In this way, his troops will not have to go into battle.
In the afternoon, the Japanese army launched another attack on Wanjialing.
Wang Han immediately sent six planes to support.
But he did not expect that shortly after the six planes took off, they encountered twenty Japanese planes.
Okamura Ninji judged that in the afternoon battle, the other side would definitely send planes to Wanjialing to participate in the battle.
Because the fighting in Nanshan was temporarily stopped.
If Wanjialing is attacked again, the other side will definitely provide fire support.
Because he has not been able to find the other party's airfield, Okamura Ninji decided to kill the other party's plane in the air.
Okamura's plan was for his plane to lie in ambush near the battlefield.
As soon as the opponent's plane comes out, it will attack immediately.
They had only thirteen planes, and sending twenty of them themselves, it was more than enough to defeat them.
It's just that he didn't expect that there were only six planes sent by the other party.
Li Lei didn't expect that Okamura Ningji would actually play such a hand.
In order to shoot down his plane, he used all his family resources.
As soon as Wang Han's plane flew over the battlefield, and before the bomb could be dropped, he saw a buzzing plane flying in the distance.
Wang Han was shocked.
It looks like there are at least a dozen of them.
And looking at the appearance of the plane, it is a Japanese plane.
Wang Han suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.
