There is no doubt that the Japanese offensive on March 27 was a failure.

By night, the Japanese 103rd Wing had failed to break into the main city of Nanchang City, except for the remnants of the two squadrons trapped in Huiminmen.

When Major General Yoshishige Saeda, the commander of the 102nd Brigade of the Japanese Army, arrived, seeing this situation, it was called a dog who was angry and scolded Matsui Kanichi.

And Hiroyoshi Ishii, who learned that his tank had suffered a lot of losses, was also angry.

"Which troop is on the other side? Why is it that it's been a day, and you haven't attacked Nanchang City yet? Do you know how I assured the division commander? Idiot! ”

"Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, the people of China are too difficult. In the house where they were, there were so many buildings in Nanchang City, and the soldiers of the empire couldn't guard against it. And they also have an incendiary bomb made of glass bottles, and most of our vehicles are destroyed by these incendiary bombs.

They also have rapid-fire guns... ”

"Waste, it's all quibbles, I just need results." Yoshidai Saeda scolded.

At this moment, Yoshishige Saeda received a call from Lieutenant General Masaki Ito, the commander of the 101st Division, "Commander of the Saeda Brigade, have your troops already attacked Nanchang City?" Why didn't I see Nanchang City planted with the military flag of our Great Japanese Empire. ”

"Your Excellency, Lieutenant General!" Saeda Yoshishige said seriously, "The 103rd Wing has encountered stubborn resistance from the Shina people, and it has not yet entered Nanchang City for the time being. ”

"Saeda-kun!" Masaki Ito said impatiently on the phone, "You are all an excuse, I want to see the result." One Nanchang City, is it blocking the attack of Saeda-kun's brigade?

Commander Okamura is in command in Jiujiang, and I don't want to see that in the eyes of Commander Okamura, the 101st Division will not be able to defeat even a single Nanchang City. ”

"Hey!" Saeda Yoshishige also felt that his head was big, and after thinking for a while, he said, "Your Excellency the division commander, I need artillery support to ensure that before the sun sets on the 28th, the imperial flag will be planted on the headquarters building in Nanchang by the Zhina people. ”

"I'll have the Field Artillery 101st Wing provide you with fire support, but I hope Saeda-kun won't let me down." Masaki Ito hung up the phone after speaking.

At this time, Ito Masaki did not take Nanchang too seriously, believing that the Chinese army there was just stubborn resistance.

If the 102nd Brigade could not work, he would send the 101st Brigade to it, and he would not believe that China in Nanchang City could block one of his full divisions.

The pressure from the division headquarters made Saeda Yoshishige's idea of capturing Nanchang City even more urgent.

"Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, I think we should change the focus of our attack."

Wing Commander of the 102nd Infantry Wing of the 157th Brigade of the Japanese Army, Kotaro Fukui, pointed to the map and said.

"Fukui-kun, what do you think?" Yoshiyoshi Saeda looked at the other party again.

"Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, we can make another detour and build a pontoon bridge to cross the Fu River on the south side of the Fu River, where the terrain is flat and suitable for our chariot attack.

When the time comes, we can cooperate with the Chariot Group and the 157th Wing to attack Jinxianmen and Nanchang Railway Station respectively.

On the side of Zhangjiangmen, Guangrunmen, and Huiminmen, the 103 Wing was also responsible for the attack.

In this way, the Chinese army will not be able to do everything, and we will be able to attack Nanchang City more quickly. ”

Fukui Osa knew the combat effectiveness of the 103rd Wing, and the opponent was stubbornly resisted on the west bank of the Fu River, even if the 157th Wing went, it would only be the same result.

Moreover, several bridges on the Fuhe River were damaged, which was not conducive to the attack of the chariot troops, and at this time he was naturally willing to attack from the southeast of Nanchang City.

"Fukui-kun is right, what does Ishii-kun think about this?" Yoshiyoshi Saeda looked back at Hiroyoshi Ishii of the Chariot Group.

"Tomorrow I will send the 1st Tank Group to cooperate with the Fukui Wing, and the 2nd Tank Group will strengthen the Matsui Wing. It's just that I hope that my tank will be protected by two wings.

The Imperial Army does not have many tanks, and if the losses are too great, Commander Okamura will be angry at that time, and we cannot afford it. Hiroyoshi Ishii said.

"Hey!"

Kotaro Fukui and Kanichi Matsui nodded, the former was just looking forward to the scene of attacking Nanchang City, and the latter was naturally harboring revenge.

The Japanese army launched a more fierce attack, Leng Jie had already expected it, but at this time, he did discuss with Que Hanqian and others in the underground command room of the garrison headquarters how to deal with the devils and traitors who were caught and their property.

"I didn't expect these people to start thinking about Nanjing after the fall at this time, it's just hateful!" When Yang Wenjin learned of Leng Jie's report, he was angry, "Division commander, just order to be shot!" ”

"Deputy Division Commander Yang, you can dispose of those traitors casually, but those devil captives are going to be handed over to our military commanders, and we need them." A representative of the military commander next to him said.

Perhaps because of the previous cooperation, Leng Jie has a good relationship with the military commander, and he has some contact information, so the talents of the military commander will appear here.

"We don't want those devils." Que Hanqian said in a deep voice.

"By the way, our military commander wants 20% of those people's property." The military commander said.

"Whatever!" Que Hanqian didn't care much about those possessions, he just cared about the war situation.

Although I don't care, those traitors do have a lot of property, and how to divide it still has to be discussed.

However, Leng Jie had already intercepted some of it in advance, so he didn't care about this illegal property division conference.

Maybe the gift Leng Jie gave was too big, and Que Hanqian's attitude towards Leng Jie was also much better, knowing that the pressure on Leng Jie's side was not small.

handed over a security regiment and a recruit regiment to Leng Jie.

This recruit regiment is a hot-blooded young man recruited on the spot in Nanchang in recent days, and there are more than 1,000 people.

There are more than 2,000 people in these two regiments, and Que Hanqian gave them to Leng Jie, you can imagine how big this gift is.

However, the battle on the 27th also gave Que Hanqian a lot of confidence, that is, Nanchang may really be able to hold.

Trust in Leng Jie has naturally increased.

However, the performance of the 102nd Division was not good, and the Japanese troops of the two squadrons, the 102nd Division were stunned and could not be completely wiped out.

On the 28th, under the cover of artillery fire, the Japanese launched a larger offensive.

The 102nd Brigade and the 101st Cavalry Brigade of the Japanese Army, a total of 6 infantry brigades and 1 cavalry brigade, plus more than 100 combat vehicles of various types, launched a fierce attack from the southwest and southeast directions of Nanchang.

Before the attack, the Japanese field artillery wing launched an artillery bombardment of Nanchang City for more than ten minutes.

And the level of offense is undoubtedly crazier on the side of the 103 United.

As a good general, you should be able to control your emotions at all times and try your best to command every battle objectively and calmly.

But the annoyed and angry Matsui Kanichi obviously does not belong to such a calm general.

The failure of the attack on the 27th did not make Matsui Kanichi calm down and think about how to attack in a different way, and he still thought about forcibly breaking through the city defenses of the Chinese army with chariots.
