Chapter 244: Street Battle Plan (Second Shift)

I'll figure it out. ”

Que Hanqian hesitated for a moment and said.

"If we can really hold back a division of the Japanese army in Nanchang City and consume the morale of the Japanese army, then the theater can concentrate superior forces to launch a counteroffensive, and it may not be impossible to defeat the Japanese army." Leng Jie suggested.

In this battle, judging from the current situation, there are not many troops on both sides.

The Chinese army has only a hundred thousand men, and the Japanese army has up to three main divisions, as long as the Chinese army can gather vital forces to launch a counterattack in the middle and late stages, the chances of winning are very high.

"Those are the things that the commanders should worry about, you should talk about how to defend Nanchang, especially about your street fighting, how to fight is a problem." Que Hanqian was a little impatient.

"Street fighting is difficult to say, and simple is easy to say.

In his opinion, it is very likely that the Japanese will attack from the south or north, especially from the south. Leng Jie pointed to the city gates in the south and said emphatically.

"Why South?" Yang Wenying was puzzled, "In the west, there are many bridges on the Gan River. ”

"It is precisely because of these bridges that we can blow up at any time, so that the Japanese army will not attack directly from the west, but will only make a detour from the north and south.

However, there were many tidal flats in the north, and the Japanese tank troops and heavy artillery were inconvenient to march, so it was concluded that the Japanese army would definitely make a detour to the south of Nanchang and launch an attack.

Therefore, it is recommended to focus on the defense in the south of the city, and arrange the troops of the two main regiments here, and in the west, north and east of the city, and arrange fewer troops.

However, in order to prevent the Japanese from attacking from the bridge to the west, we need to deploy troops to defend the east side of the bridge and blow up the bridge in case of crisis.

In the south of the city, we need to choose a number of buildings that are strong and tall enough to use as fire support points and control the commanding heights.

With these vantage points, we can build multiple directions in the city.

Finally, there is street fighting, and the lowly suggestion is to break up the troops, use platoons or squads as the basic combat units, and ensure the presence of veterans who participated in the defense of Nanjing and the counterattack of Jilong Mountain.

They are familiar with street fighting and can familiarize our army with street fighting as soon as possible.

Then it was a battle with the Japanese army for a street, a house, and a commanding height, trapping the Japanese army in Nanchang City. ”

Hearing Leng Jie's words, Wang Yanqing couldn't help but take a big breath of cold air, "You are trying to beat Nanchang City into ruins." ”

"Broken into ruins and can be rebuilt. If it is occupied by the Japanese army, it will become a fortress for the Japanese army to invade China.

However, in order to avoid unnecessary losses, it is necessary to move the factories and people in the city to the south, and if there is a street fight, these people will definitely be affected. Leng Jie suggested.

"What about the tanks of the Japanese army? And heavy artillery units! Que Hanqian said.

At the mention of tanks, Leng Jie smiled, "Division commander, if the Japanese army drives tanks into Nanchang City, it will be even better."

In the field, we have no problem with these tanks, and in street battles, these tanks are targets. ”

"Target? Let's talk about how to deal with tanks! Que Hanqian shook his head and said.

"Quite simply, the most practical way is to use a Molotov cocktail, which is to fill a glass bottle with alcohol or gasoline, and seal the mouth of the bottle with a flammable cloth.

As long as the devil tank is close, just light the Molotov cocktail and throw it out. The armor of the Japanese tanks was so thin that with just a few Molotov cocktails, a ghost tank could be scrapped.

And in street fighting, our soldiers are also very close to the devil tank, just throw it from the window.

As for the devil artillery, there is no way to do it.

Unless the Japanese army does not enter the city, as long as the devils enter the city, the devils' artillery will actually lose its effect. Leng Jie explained.

"These are all things you learned from the Battle of Nanjing and the Battle of Fuchikou Fortress?" Que Hanqian was a little curious.

"Almost!" Leng Jie snorted haha and didn't say much.

"In this case, your 120th Regiment is responsible for the defense from Zhangjiang Gate to Huimin Gate, the 119th Regiment is responsible for the defense of the New Fourth Army Military Headquarters, Jinxian Gate, and Hue Gate, and the 118th Regiment is responsible for the defense of the east bank of the Ganjiang River, Desheng Gate, and Yonghe Gate." Que Hanqian looked at the map and said.

"Division commander, can you give me a security regiment, it is not good to arrange defense with only 120 regiments." At this time, Leng Jie naturally would not be polite.

"Yes!"

。。。。。。

"Senior Brother Leng, why is your mind so flexible, my mind is confused." Ma Peiji followed Leng Jie on the street of Nanchang City and couldn't help asking.

"If you've been on the battlefield for a long time, you'll know how to fight." Leng Jie said with a smile.

"And what are you going to do now?" Luo Xingli asked.

"Inspect the defense area, find the commanding heights, and arrange the defense." Leng Jie said.

Then Leng Jie swaggered down the streets of Nanchang, thinking about how to arrange defense.

Although he could guess that the Japanese might be attacking from the south, he couldn't guess from which gate they were attacking.

However, it was a bit difficult to set up defenses, because many people in the city did not cooperate.

The Jiangxi High-ranking Officials' Office is in Leng Jie's defense area, but now that the people inside have not been withdrawn, Leng Jie's troops naturally cannot enter the defense.

In fact, Leng Jie has already used this place as the future regiment headquarters, it is very simple, the place is large, the buildings are built, and there are underground fortifications, no matter how you look at it, it is quite suitable.

As for the people here, when the Japanese army reaches the north of the Ganjiang River, it is estimated that they will run faster than anyone else.

。。。。。。

"It is said that the 40th Division is now stepping up its defenses?"

Nanchang City, the headquarters of the 19th Army of the National Revolutionary Army.

Don't look at the front line fighting, but Luo Zhuoying did not go to the front line, his headquarters is still located in Nanchang City.

The movements of the 40th Division in Nanchang City naturally couldn't hide from him, but when he thought of that Leng Jie, he was also a little curious.

"Back to the commander-in-chief, he is indeed arming. However, Que Hanqian, commander of the 40th Division, sent a report just now, hoping that the headquarters could send more troops, and relying only on the 40th Division to defend Nanchang was somewhat weak. Luo Weixiong said.

"More on that later!" Luo Zhuoying's current strength is still a little insufficient, how can there be more for the 40th Division.

Just the day before yesterday, the Japanese Murai detachment set out from Xingzi by warship and landed near Wucheng, about 30 kilometers northeast of Yongxiu, to attack the positions of the 32nd Army.

At the same time, the main forces of the 101st and 106th divisions of the Japanese army, as well as their artillery and tank units, advanced to the north bank of Xiushui in turn and occupied the forward positions of the 19th Army.

At this time, the Japanese army's large-scale offensive had already restrained the strength of the four armies in his hands, and there was no time to strengthen the strength of Nanchang.

If the Nanxun line cannot be defended, it will not be too late for him to ask the theater command for help.

"Where's Leng Jie? What are you doing? Luo Zhuoying asked.

"His 120th regiment is responsible for defending Zhangjiangmen to Huiminmen, and he has been organizing troops to build fortifications for the past two days, and he has collected a lot of glass bottles, and he doesn't know what to do." Luo Weixiong didn't know why Luo Zhuoying paid so much attention to Leng Jie, the head of the regiment.

"Collecting glass bottles?" Luo Zhuoying was stunned, but the situation on the frontline battlefield couldn't help but think about it.

At 16 o'clock on the afternoon of the 20th, the 101st and 106th divisions of the Japanese army, under the attack of artillery fire and poison gas bombs, began to storm the positions on the south bank of Xiushui.
