Shiro Inaba immediately called back and asked Okamura Ninji what was the reason for letting them retreat?

Speculation alone is not credible.

Shiro Inaba's 6th Division, which fought here for several days, lost four wings.

Now he is about to enter Nanchang City, let him retreat.

Shiro Inaba couldn't accept it psychologically.

He would not have accepted this order without a reasonable explanation.

As the commander of the 6th Division, Shiro Inaba has always been unconvinced by Okamura Ningji.

Everyone has the rank of lieutenant general, why can you be a commander, and I can only be a division commander?

Just because you're whiter than me?

If I retreat, then isn't my division working in vain these days?

Okamura Ninji, who received Shiro Inaba's telegram, was blindsided.

He really didn't expect that Shiro Inaba would ask him such a stupid question.

Hell, who's the commander?

Isn't the reason I said on telegram sufficient?

The other party wants to encircle you, the other party wants to encircle you, the other party wants to encircle you!

You don't understand what that means, do you?

Okamura Ninji asked his chief of staff to call Inaba Shiro back again and immediately retreat.

But after Shiro Inaba glanced at the telegram, he snorted coldly and tore the telegram apart directly.

Okamura Ninji, who is as timid as a mouse, let you see this time, the power of my sixth division.

Listen to my order, the troops speed up their march and occupy the city of Nanchang!

The 6th Division, under the leadership of Shiro Inaba, not only did not retreat, but accelerated the pace of the march.

It was originally a three-hour journey, but the Sixth Division arrived at the foot of Nanchang in two hours.

Then he was surprised to find that Nanchang City was now impregnable.

Within ten miles outside the city, there are three lines of defense.

It looks like a big war is imminent.

Sixtieth Army, there was no retreat!

This discovery surprised Shiro Inaba.

He also thought that the current Nanchang City was empty.

Looking at Nanchang City, which was waiting for him, Inaba Shiro's eyelids jumped, and a bad premonition came to his heart.

We seem to ...... Got into trouble.

It was at this time that the fierce sound of artillery startled him.

Before he could look back, there was another violent explosion.

Then, more explosions were heard.

From the beginning of the one, it has become one piece after another.

World shaking.

Boom!!!!

Boom!!!!

Boom!!!!

The entire positions of the 6th Division were filled with the sound of shell explosions.

The flames are blazing.

The earth shakes and the mountains shake.

The current location of the Sixth Division is on a huge open field.

Just in front of Nanchang City.

There is simply nowhere to hide.

Wanjialing was successfully taken down, which made Inaba Shiro very arrogant.

It is believed that Nanchang City at this time is likely to be an empty city.

When his troops come to Nanchang City, they can directly take over.

So his entire Sixth Division did not even unfold.

Directly it is a march in a group.

The infantry wing, the artillery brigade, the engineer squadron, the baggage wing, and the divisional guard squadron were all combined.

Inaba Shiro is to occupy Nanchang City as quickly as possible.

Up to this point, his forces have not been deployed.

Unexpectedly, this became his biggest mistake.

The 60th Army, the 8th Army, and Li Lei's new 1st Brigade fired all the shells together and smashed them into the Japanese army.

The shells flew over the sky and with a chilling whistling sound, they landed on the Japanese positions with a violent explosion.

The huge power directly blew up a group of devils.

The devil at the center of the explosion was directly shattered.

Explosions are happening everywhere.

The entire 6th Division was in a panic.

Shiro Inaba is thrown off by a frightened horse.

Fell to the ground with a thud.

Broke all the glasses.

He was surprised to find that his Sixth Division was really surrounded.

Okamura Ninji was right.

The other party wants to encircle him.

"Fight back! Fight back now! Shiro Inaba drew his command knife and howled angrily.

But now the Sixth Division has been bombed to pieces, and the troops have dispersed.

There is simply no way to prevent an effective return fire.

The enemy's shells rained down like drops.

At this time, it is simply impossible to fight back.

A large number of devils were killed, and their hands and feet were broken one after another.

The people who watched it were particularly excited.

Li Da was particularly pleased.

He pulled one of the fighters away, walked himself to the infantry cannon, held the shell and stuffed it in, and then let the other fighter open fire.

The regiment commander personally stuffed the cannon with shells, which stunned the soldiers.

Li Da looked at the pile of cannonballs under his feet, and couldn't close his mouth with joy.

I used to have three shells and I couldn't sleep happily.

Now, we have a lot of boxes of shells.

Shotguns for guns, that's what we're talking about!

Li Lei was in the fortifications, holding a telescope and looking at the situation of the Sixth Division.

Inaba Shiro was really arrogant, at this time, he didn't want to escape, and he wanted to stop his troops from fighting back.

Li Lei saw a team of devils rushing towards him.

There was probably a brigade

He immediately ordered the Second Independent Regiment to kill this group of devils.

Now the new 1st Brigade is behind the 6th Division.

In order to prevent the 6th Division from breaking through here, Li Lei ordered the New 1st Brigade to build four lines of defense.

The 2nd Independent Regiment was responsible for the front two lanes.

The more than 100 devils rushed over with hideous faces and a desperate face.

Before they could rush to the position of the 2nd Independent Regiment, they were blown up by artillery fire.

The shelling continues.

Devils are constantly dying.

Such large-scale shelling is very rare.

Even the Japanese army rarely used artillery in this way.

The shelling lasted a full hour.

In this hour, a large number of devils died in the Sixth Division every second.

Some were blown up, some were shocked to death.

The entire Sixth Division was bloody.

After the shelling, the offensive began.

When the Sixth Division was here, there were almost 15,000 men.

After an hour of shelling, the 6th Division lost five thousand people directly.

Many of the remaining units were crippled.

The soldier could not find the commander, and the commander could not find the soldier.

The entire Sixth Division was in a mess.

Shiro Inaba finally came to his senses.

The shelling almost drove him insane.

Before he could organize his troops, the Eighth Army went on the offensive.

The combat effectiveness of the Eighth Army was very strong, and it was the main force in the entire Hunan battlefield.

This time, in order to encircle and annihilate the Sixth Division, Tiger Boy also made a bloody investment.

The entire Eighth Army held back its strength.

As soon as the artillery fire stopped, the offensive immediately began.

Li Lei, who watched it, was stunned at the time.

This Commander Li is also an anxious man.

The 6th Division, which had just woken up from the artillery fire, was suddenly attacked fiercely on its flank, and could not resist it at all, and retreated one after another.

The commander of the Eighth Army drove straight in, and the Japanese troops who fought were retreating one after another.

At the forefront was the Provisional 10th Division of the Eighth Army.

Don't look at it as a temporary 10th Division, combat effectiveness, that's not covered.

Division Commander Fang Xianjue, that is also a ruthless person.

The first fierce general under Commander Li.

The goal of the 10th Division is very clear, that is, to kill the living forces of the Japanese army.

Taking advantage of the current confusion of the Japanese troops, they attacked with all their might.

Soon, part of the 6th Division was divided and surrounded by the Provisional 10th Army.

There were probably more than 1,000 Japanese troops, surrounded by the Provisional Tenth Army in a swamp.

The besieged Japanese troops retreated to the swamp and could not move an inch.

In the face of several times the strength of his own, he has no power to resist.

In peacetime, it would take a lot of effort to destroy more than 1,000 Japanese troops.

A division surrounded for two days may not be able to eat.

But now it's different.

At this time, the Japanese army was crushed and had no fighting spirit.

There was no heavy firepower.

If you want to hold on, it's simply impossible.

The armament of both sides is almost the same at the moment.

Under such circumstances, the Provisional 10th Division did not think much about it at all, and directly launched an attack on this Japanese army from four directions.

The follow-up units of the Eighth Army were also dividing and encircling the Japanese army.

The Eighth Army went on a rampage, leaving the Sixth Division in disarray.

Shiro Inaba immediately ordered the 6th Division to retreat.

The sound of the shelling just now, Shiro Inaba has been listening.

There was non-stop shelling from three directions.

Only the east of Nanchang City was not shelled.

There must be an ambush of the opposing side there.

There must not be a retreat there. Otherwise, it could be even worse.

Don't think about Nanchang City.

There is an opposing line of defense there.

Even if he broke through the four lines of defense, facing Nanchang City, which was tall in the wall, he couldn't beat it for a while.

The west has been beaten into a pot of porridge.

His troops are exchanging fire with each other.

The fight was very fierce.

Shiro Inaba took a look at the battlefield with a telescope.

The opponent's combat power is very strong.

It must be the elite troops of Tiger Boy.

Their equipment is actually all Soviet-style equipment.

In this regard, his troops suffered a little.

The most likely direction for the 6th Division to retreat can only be to the south.

To the south, the direction from which they came.

Just withdraw to Wanjialing.

Their sixth division will be able to avoid being encircled and annihilated.

Wanjialing ......

Shiro Inaba sighed and muttered to himself.

This is his Waterloo.

The 6th Division, which received the order, immediately retreated in the direction of Wanjialing.

As for the troops that were divided and surrounded by the Eighth Army, Inaba Shiro's decision was very simple.

Just two words, give up.

In order to keep the large army, it can only be like this.

If Inaba Shiro sends other troops to the rescue, then the 6th Division will only be dragged down.

If it was only against the 60th Army, then his 6th Division would directly attack Nanchang City.

But now that there is an additional Eighth Army, it will have to be retreated.

The strength of the two armies of the other side combined was several times that of his.

And judging from the firepower, his 6th Division was actually in a weak position.

In this case, if it is hard to fight, the Sixth Division will be completely annihilated.

Damn, my troops now have only infantry artillery.

Without heavy artillery and aircraft, they simply could not defeat the two armies of the opposing side.

Shiro Inaba looks at the sky that has been lit up, where is our plane?

Just thinking about it, in the distant sky, the roar of an airplane came slowly.

Well?

Shiro Inaba's face froze.

Is this our own plane or the other side's?

Ever since the other party also had a plane, Shiro Inaba always felt cold on his neck.

The smell of being bombed by planes is so unpleasant.
