Chapter 263: The Battle of Nanchang (15) (Seven Watches, Asking for Support)
In the end, under Leng Jie's polite care, Noguchi Shaozo excitedly said his unit number and name.
It's just that three fingers are missing from the right hand.
Leng Jie didn't kill the other party, and it was not easy to catch a live Shaozuo.
However, at this time, some soldiers found that the pants of the other Japanese soldier were not properly worn, and thinking of the abused female compatriots in the house, the soldiers of the 120th Regiment were angry.
Compared to Noguchi Shaosa, this Japanese soldier known as Takeshi Noda was treated more kindly by the soldiers of the 120th Regiment.
Perhaps because they understood the other side's desire to return to the Japanese camp, in the later attack, they fulfilled Takeshi Noda and let him go ahead.
It's just that the whole body is strapped with explosives, so that the entrenched Japanese soldiers can experience what it is like to have a daytime fireworks.
。。。。。。
"Your Excellency Osa, the Noguchi Brigade and the Tokugawa Brigade have all lost contact, and the Cavalry Brigade and the Shinchon Brigade of Oshima Nakasa are also asking for help, and they have been counterattacked by a large number of Shina people, and the situation is critical! Moreover, the Chiba Brigade that we sent to encircle and suppress the remnants of the West Bank China Army also suffered a lot of losses, and at present, there are still hundreds of remnants of the China Army on the west bank of the Fuhe River. ”
On the west bank of the Fuhe River, the temporary headquarters of the 103rd Wing of the Japanese Army.
A young man came to Matsui Kanichi with a somewhat depressed expression.
At present, there are a total of 4 brigades, 3 infantry brigades and 1 cavalry brigade that broke into Nanchang City from Ruzi Road and other places.
At the time of the attack on Nanchang City, there were almost 3,000 Japanese troops, except for a few hundred who were sent out because of serious injuries, everyone else was inside.
But in these days of fighting, the Japanese troops in the city have dropped to more than 1,000 people, and the losses are very large.
In positional warfare in the field or in ordinary fortified battles, the Japanese army, which has an advantage in artillery fire, can often single-handedly take on the Chinese army several times its own, and it will not fall behind.
In the previous wars, the ratio of Sino-Japanese war losses was basically one to a few.
But in street fighting, the gap has become smaller, it may be more than one to one, and it may even be one to one.
For street fighting, the Japanese army is really not good at it.
The advantage of artillery fire, which is usually relied on, cannot be well played in street battles.
"Nani?" Matsui Kanichi was surprised, "Could it be that the Noguchi Brigade and the Tokugawa Brigade have already broken jade?" ”
"Only the Tokugawa Brigade sent a telegram from the Jade Chip." Shao Zuo replied, "Your Excellency, we must withdraw the army, and in the street fighting, we suffered a lot.
The chariots that entered Nanchang City were also basically destroyed, or lay down because there was no fuel.
If we continue to fight, our team may be wiped out! ”
"Yaga!"
Matsui Kanichi was so angry that he slapped this Shaozo violently, "Do you know what you're talking about? Don't forget that you're an Imperial soldier! ”
"Hey!"
Shao Zuo nodded hurriedly.
At this time, a gunshot rang out, and a bullet hole suddenly appeared in the head of Kanichi Matsui, who was still reprimanding this young sa just now.
"Yaga, there is a sniper!"
Shao Zuo's face was splattered with blood, and he immediately yelled when he reacted.
For a time, these Japanese troops in the 103rd Wing Headquarters fell into a panic and looked for the enemy everywhere.
But the target they were looking for was to leave the sniper point with a few of their men and go to the next destination.
。。。。。。
The news of Matsui Kanichi's jade shattering reached the division headquarters of the 101st Division, and Okamura Ninji also knew about it.
From the beginning of the First Battle of Nanchang, Matsui Kanichi was the highest officer of the Japanese army who died in battle.
And the death of Matsui Kanichi also means that the Japanese army's attack southwest of Nanchang is considered a failure, and the entire battlefield is an erosive scene.
The Chinese army even launched a large-scale counterattack on this side, and the 103rd Wing suffered heavy losses and almost burned the Wing flag.
As before, the Japanese army paid more attention to the protection of the wing flag, and preferred to burn it in advance rather than let the Chinese army capture it, because it would be a shame, and it might even be revoked.
The erosion of the Nanchang battle situation has exceeded Okamura Ningji's expectations.
"Your Excellency, at present, all of the 101st Wing, 2 brigades of the 149th Wing, and 1 brigade of the 157th Wing have entered Nanchang City from Jinxianmen and are fighting against the Chinese army in this area.
However, at present, the 101st Wing has advanced less than two kilometers, and the resistance of the Chinese army in the city is very stubborn. According to reports from the front, the Shina army used the buildings in the city to fight the Imperial army street by street, and the current battle situation is in a state of anxiety.
According to the current situation, if there is no reinforcements, the 101st Division will not be able to complete the important task of conquering Nanchang. ”
"Continue to increase troops in Nanchang?"
Okamura Ningji was a little hesitant, the current Nanchang battle situation is no longer optimistic, if he continues to increase his troops here, can he take Nanchang City in a short time?
"Your Excellency, if you don't increase your troops in Nanchang, then the situation in Nanchang will continue to erode. Even if the aviation unit can be dispatched later, the 101st Division currently has 9 infantry brigades and 1 cavalry brigade in Nanchang City, and the aviation unit cannot carry out effective reinforcements.
And at this time, the retreat is not easy.
The only way to change this situation is to increase the number of troops.
At present, the Chinese army is already at the end of its strength, and they have a total of 3 divisions, but only 30,000 people, and their will to fight is not as good as that of the imperial army.
As long as one more brigade joins the battle, it can be the last straw that breaks the camel's back. Numata Tazo suggested.
"The 106th Division cannot move, the 14th Brigade is responsible for the defense of the occupied area, and the 6th Division has to guard against the 30th Group Army and the Hunan-Hubei-Jiangxi Border Advance Army, and there are not many troops." Okamura Ninji said.
"Your Excellency, my subordinates suggest that the 3rd Division or the 16th Division be transferred to join the battle."
"Let me think!" Okamura Ninji also fell into hesitation.
The current battle situation has seriously deviated from the previous plan, and he did not expect that the Chinese army would hold out in Nanchang for so long. It's been more than ten days, but the 101st Division has only occupied one-third of the urban area of Nanchang, and it has been dragged here, so it is difficult to retreat.
At this time, a staff officer of Zhongsa came to the war room with a telegram, opened the telegram and read, "Your Excellency Commander, the intelligence department has found that there has been an abnormal movement of the Chinese army.
The 58th Army and the 60th Army of the 1st Group Army of the Ninth Theater of Operations in China moved from Xiushui to Jing'an, the numbers of the three divisions of the 74th Army of China appeared near Yifeng and Zhangshu, and the 19th Group Army, the 30th Group Army, and the Hunan-Hubei-Jiangxi Border Advance Army also sent reconnaissance units to the 6th Division and the 106th Division.
At the same time, the troops of the third theater of war in China were also gathering in Fuzhou and Jinxian. ”
"Nani?"
Numata Tazo grabbed the telegram, looked at it and handed it to Okamura Ninji, who looked for the names of the places on the map, and then his face changed dramatically.
"Your Excellency Commander, the people of China want to encircle my 101st and 106th divisions!"
