Whether Guan Lin Zhengxiang believed it or not, it was a fact that the remnants of the Japanese 9th Division and the Potian detachment retreated, and the speed of retreat was fast, for fear of being caught up by the Chinese army.

However, the 53rd Army and the 54th Army reacted very quickly, and launched a large-scale counterattack before the Japanese army retreated, although due to the problem of troops, it was not possible to leave all the Japanese troops.

In the early morning of October 9, the remnants of the Japanese 9th Division and the Potian Detachment retreated to the town of Wharf and the county seat of Ruichang, while the Chinese army gave up the pursuit.

The Jilong Mountain counterattack, which began on October 1 and ended on October 9, was also quite fruitful.

The Chinese army killed and wounded 15,000 Japanese soldiers, including more than 7,000 people, and killed Lieutenant General Shigeichi Hata, the head of the Japanese Hatada detachment, and many adjutants of the command, captured more than a dozen artillery pieces, thousands of guns, and captured hundreds of Japanese soldiers.

In this battle, the Potian detachment finally withdrew to Ruichang with less than 5,000 troops, and you must know that the full strength of the Potian detachment was 14,000 people.

However, the losses of the 9,000 men of the Potian detachment were not all caused in the counterattack at Jilong Mountain.

The Botian detachment suffered losses in Anqing, Madang Fortress, Hukou, Wharf Town, and Jiangbei, about 2,000 people; In the Zhupo Mountain position, more than 3,000 people were lost.

In this way, in the nine-day battle at Jilong Mountain, the Hatian detachment lost about 4,000 people.

This casualty figure is not small, and it also loses a lieutenant general detachment leader and a large Zuo wing captain.

Although the losses of the Japanese 9th Division were about 3,000 people, the 9th Division had more than 20,000 people, and the number of 3,000 killed was not as exaggerated as the Hatada detachment.

However, the 9th Division suffered more casualties, among which the 18th Brigade suffered the largest casualties.

The losses of the Chinese army were not small, and only more than 1,500 people remained in the two regiments of the 54th Brigade, compared to more than 5,000 in the two regiments before the war.

The 18th Division, as the Central Division, also lost more than 8,000 people in this battle, more than 7,000 were killed, and more than 1,000 were seriously wounded, and only more than 4,000 people remained in the division.

In the counterattack at Jilong Mountain, the casualties of the 18th Division reached more than 4,000.

The two divisions of the 53rd Army also suffered heavy losses, with more than 7,000 casualties.

The entire 12 divisions of the Chinese army suffered a total of 42,000 casualties and 15,000 Japanese casualties.

This battle loss ratio was close to three to one, although the Japanese army retreated in the end, it was a great victory for the Chinese army.

However, Guan Linzheng was not very happy about this great victory, because most of the results were achieved by the 53rd Army and the 54th Army, including the killing of Hakuda Shigeichi, a Japanese lieutenant general.

Of course, a few months later, Guan Linzheng also became the second person among the Whampoa students to serve as the deputy commander-in-chief of the group army (Hu Zongnan was the first, Huo Yuzhang was the third, and Guan Linzheng and Huo Yuzhang were promoted so quickly It was also related to the victory of Jilong Mountain).

When the Japanese army retreated, both the 53rd Army and the 54th Army took the lead in launching a pursuit and achieved a lot of results.

On the other hand, Guan Linzheng's 52nd Army and 92nd Army, because they were worried about the plan, did not pursue them at the first time, and also allowed the remnants of the Japanese 9th Division and the Hatian Detachment to retreat.

Otherwise, the gains will surely expand by thousands.

For this matter, the theater command also sent a special telegram to reprimand, but fortunately, the battle was won.

The defeat of the 9th Division and the Hatada Detachment undoubtedly injured Okamura Ninji very much, and the battle on Wanjialing's side was also very unfavorable.

Fortunately, on the 10th, the Japanese 106th Division was able to break through, otherwise another lieutenant general would have been killed.

The two successive defeats were not a small blow to the morale of the Japanese army, and Okamura Ninji even ordered the offensive to be postponed, temporarily abandoning the plan to capture Nanchang and Yueyang.

The headquarters of the Hatata detachment was destroyed, resulting in the current incapacitation of the Hatada detachment, and with only 4 divisions on the south bank with considerable losses, Okamura Ninji could not defeat the Chinese army, so he could only ask the sending army for reinforcements, send reinforcements, and transfer the key to the battlefield on the north bank.

Originally, after successively winning the great victories of Jilong Mountain and Wanjialing, the confidence of the Wuhan side skyrocketed, and it planned to gather troops to counterattack northern Jiangxi.

But at this time, the Japanese 21st Army landed in Daya Bay, Guangdong, attacked Guangdong in a big way, and killed Guangzhou.

This was undoubtedly a head-on blow to Wuhan, and the Japanese army clearly wanted to cut off the Guangdong-Hankou Railway and cut off China's external passage.

If the Japanese army captured Guangzhou, it could go north along the Guangdong-Hanzhou Railway to attack Wuhan.

Therefore, whether Wuhan can hold on depends on whether Guangzhou can hold it.

At this time, the Japanese 3rd Division and the 6th Division captured the Tianjiazhen Fortress on October 17, although it was more than ten days later than in history, but the loss of the Tianjiazhen Fortress also made the Fuchikou Fortress and the Banbishan Fortress become chicken ribs.

Originally, the two fortresses in the south of the Yangtze River existed for the fortress of Tianjia Town.

In northern Jiangxi, after being reinforced by a division of the Dispatch Army Headquarters, Okamura Ninji began a new offensive, attacking along the Ruiwu Road with the strength of two divisions.

The 54th Army was transferred to Tongshan County on the third day after the victory at Jilong Mountain to rest and replenish new recruits.

The 98th Army, which took over the defense of the Fuikekou Fortress, lost the fortress in less than three days after the Japanese attack.

On October 20, the Japanese captured the fortress of Fuchikou;

On October 21, the Japanese captured the fortress of Banbishan.

At this time, on the Guangdong side, the Japanese army also captured Guangzhou.

The loss of Guangzhou also made Wuhan abandon the defense of Wuhan and begin to prepare to evacuate Wuhan.

At the end of October, Chinese troops withdrew from Wuhan, and the Battle of Wuhan was declared over as the Japanese army fully occupied the three towns of Wuhan.

。。。。。。

Tongshan County, with the Japanese army successively occupied Yangxin, Daye, Wuchang, here became the forefront of the fight against the Japanese army.

Due to the defeat of Jilong Mountain, the Japanese army did not capture Yueyang, and the area occupied was only around Wuhan.

It was not that the Japanese army did not want to attack, but the losses were too great, the 6th and 106th divisions and the Hatian detachment suffered heavy losses one after another, and all other divisions suffered losses, and the current strength of the Japanese 11th Army was somewhat insufficient, so it could only choose to consolidate the towns it had already occupied, and it did not have the ability to launch a new large-scale offensive for the time being.

Moreover, at this time, around Wuhan, the Chinese army still had more than 90 divisions, which also made the Japanese army a little jealous.

The Battle of Wuhan, it seems that the Chinese army lost the important town of Wuhan, but the main force was preserved; Japan, on the other hand, fell into a rather embarrassing situation because the battle front was too long.

In this battle, the casualties of both China and Japan were not small, and they were unable to attack in a short time, so they entered the time to lick their wounds one after another.

Although the Japanese army had approached Tongshan, the 54th Army was still stationed in Chongyang, Tongshan and other places.

However, after the Battle of Wuhan, the establishment of the 54th Division was greatly adjusted.

The 18th Division was transferred to Xiangxi and assigned to the 18th Army.

At the same time, the 50th Division of the 18th Army and the 40th Division of the 8th Army were assigned to the 54th Army.

The 50th Division was originally a unit of the Civil Engineering Department and belonged to the local troops merged by the Civil Engineering Department, but the 40th Division was reorganized from the remnants of the original Tax Police Corps and belonged to the Third Theater, not the Ninth Theater.

In order to get to this division, Chen Cheng made up another division for Gu Zhutong, and the other party agreed to let it go.

Moreover, Leng Jie's 54th Brigade did not follow the 18th Division, but stayed in the 40th Division of the 54th Army, which is said to have been forcibly left by Huo Yuzhang.

Leng Jie didn't know why Chen Cheng wanted the 40th Division over, but it was a good choice for him to return to the 40th Division, after all, there were many acquaintances here.

Although most of the middle and high-ranking officers defected to Sun Liren, the officers and soldiers of the ordinary tax police corps were still there.

And Leng Jie served as the colonel and brigade commander of the 120th Brigade of the 40th Division, which was awarded to his great victory in the Zhupo Mountain position and Jilong Mountain, and he also won a medal.

As for the commander of the 40th Division, he was appointed by Que Hanjian, the former deputy commander of the 14th Division.

The 120 Brigade has two infantry regiments, namely the 239th Regiment and the 240th Regiment, Leng Jie is also the commander of the 239th Regiment, Chen Wei is the commander of the 240th Regiment, and concurrently serves as the deputy commander of the 120th Brigade.

Daniel Zhang served as the deputy commander of the 239th Regiment and Liu Xin served as the deputy commander of the 240th Regiment.
