Master Jiang, the devil here will be handed over to you, you should be able to handle it, right? ”

North of Xiangyin City, after the arrival of the 99th Division, the 40th Division wanted to pick a son.

Although in Santang Town, they surrounded the devils of these two brigades, neither Yang Wenjin nor Leng Jie wanted to spend time with the devils here.

It happened that the 99th Division arrived, and as soon as the two of them combined, they wanted to hand over the remaining devils to the 99th Division to solve.

In their opinion, this Japanese army, which only has more than 1,000 people, should be able to deal with it with the strength of one division of the 99th Division.

But the two were disappointed.

Jiang Minting, commander of the 99th Division, showed a solemn expression.

"Division Commander Yang, Deputy Division Commander Leng, it's not that Jiang doesn't want to fight devils, but Jiang's 99th Division is generally equipped and there are not many artillery, Jiang doesn't dare to guarantee that he can destroy this Japanese army." Jiang Minting shook his head, obviously incompetent.

"Division Commander Jiang, just let you surround this Japanese army, so that our 40th Division can continue to go north." Leng Jie explained.

Listening to Leng Jie's meaning, Jiang Minting felt as if he was a subordinate of the other party, and his troops were only here to reinforce the 40th Division, but he didn't say that they were controlled by the 40th Division.

"What does Deputy Division Commander Leng mean? Do you want to order Jiang? Jiang Minting was a little unhappy.

"Division Commander Jiang misunderstood, since your combat strength is not good, it is definitely not possible to serve as the main attacker, but you just need to take over the 40th Division to surround the remnants of this Japanese army." Yang Wenjin said.

"It's okay to surround it, but don't think about it if you want to annihilate this Japanese army." Seeing that the attitude of the two people in front of him was not very good, Jiang Minting also flinched.

Although he is also a general of the civil engineering department, he can't be compared with the two in front of him, and it doesn't seem to be good if the relationship is too stiff.

Fortunately, in the end, the 99th Division agreed to take over the 40th Division's 118th Regiment and the supplementary regiment to surround this Japanese army, but after leaving, Leng Jie was a little unhappy.

"This 99th Division is too cowardly, just such a thing, they are still timid, and a division is still afraid of the remnants of the Japanese army of more than 1,000 people."

"Forget it, they don't have much equipment, and they're afraid that they will lose too much and be withdrawn, so that's all. How are you going to fight next? Yang Wenjin said.

"What I mean is to let the supplementary regiment stay in Xiangyin in case of accidents, and the seriously wounded are also withdrawn to Xiangyin to assemble, and the main three regiments will attack the camp!" As for how to fight next, Leng Jie has already planned.

"Attacking the camp? And after that? Now that the main force of the Japanese army has crossed the Miluo River, it has a great posture to attack Changsha to the south. ”

The Japanese army attacked southward, and the 40th Division also got the news, giving people the feeling that they were going to attack Changsha.

But Leng Jie doesn't think so.

"Brother Wen Jin thinks that the Japanese army is really capable of attacking Changsha City? You must know that our 54th Army still has three divisions, but north of Changsha, not to mention more than a dozen divisions of the 20th Army, 37th Army, 52nd Army, etc., with the current Japanese army is not enough to attack Changsha. Leng Jie said.

"And what are you going to do?"

"I always feel that the purpose of the Japanese army's operation this time is not Changsha, in the case of the 33rd Division being dragged down, with only the 6th Division, the main division, plus several other detachments, the Japanese army wants to capture Changsha?

Even if the Japanese army is entrusted with a large number, it will not have this strength.

I think the purpose of the Japanese army is Nanchang, but at present, we do not know the strength of the Japanese army in northern Jiangxi, so we cannot confirm the authenticity of this news. Leng Jie was just guessing before, but now judging from the Japanese army's operations, he has become more and more firm in his previous guess.

"Do you still think that the Japanese army had other purposes? But Nanchang is hundreds of kilometers away, and it is not for us to influence, so you should think about what to do now! Yang Wenjing also didn't believe Leng Jie's analysis, he couldn't be smarter than Xue Laohu and the others.

"It's very simple, what the Japanese army wants to do, you will know it when you try." Leng Jie thought of a way, "Whether we can conquer Yingtian or not, there is no need to put all our forces here, but to cross the Miluo River and explore the reality of the Japanese army on the north bank of the Miluo River."

If we attack the north bank of the Miluo River, we can threaten their retreat, and then it will be clear what the Japanese army wants to do! ”

"Cross the Miluo River north with the strength of one of our divisions? Isn't it too bold? The Theater Commander's Department is just asking us to retake the camp. Yang Wenjin was a little worried.

"If Brother Wen is worried about being blamed, I can take a part of the army to the north shore to find out."

"Let me think!"

Rao is Yang Wenjing knew Leng Jie's boldness, and was also frightened by his ideas.

If the real Japanese attack on Changsha is just a pretense, then the Japanese army on the north bank must not be weak, and it will not be an egg hitting a stone with only one or two regiments of troops.

In the end, Yang Wenjing still agreed to Leng Jie's bold move, but he did not intend to let the entire division go, but carried out this adventure with a regiment and a special battalion of nearly 3,000 people.

On the morning of September 28, Yang Wenjin commanded the 118th Regiment and the 120th Regiment to launch an attack on Yingtian under the cover of more than 20 artillery pieces.

Don't talk about that battle, I don't know how many divisions the Chinese army has, after all, there are more than 20 artillery pieces, which is not the firepower that a division should have, but an army, and it must be a well-equipped descendant unit.

However, due to the support of the Japanese navy, the 40th Division failed to conquer Yingtian, and the battle situation was at a stalemate, but at night, Leng Jie led the 119th Regiment and the special service battalion to cross the Miluo River by boat in the lower reaches of the Miluo River from Yingtian to Guiyi.

At this time, Luo Zhuoying's side learned the news that two Japanese troops were moving south from Xiushui.

Moreover, the purpose of these two Japanese forces is very clear, and they go straight to Chang.

On the side of northern Jiangxi, Luo Zhuoying mobilized 11 divisions to fight the Japanese army, and he didn't pay much attention to Nanchang.

In addition, another brigade of the Japanese army did not attack smoothly in the mountainous areas of northwest Jiangxi, Xue Laohu wanted to have another Wanjialing victory, so he asked Luo Zhuoying to find a way to encircle and annihilate this Japanese army.

So the latter transferred the 74th Army, wanting to concentrate the forces of the 58th Army, the 60th Army, the 72nd Army and the 74th Army.

As for the perimeter of Nanchang, only 2 divisions of the 32nd Army were defending, one of which was in Nanchang and the newly built on the north bank, and one division was in Jinhe.

When the Japanese troops of the two detachments came, the defense line of the 32nd Army was broken one after another: the Japanese army had already occupied Xinjian at noon on the 28th and attacked Nanchang City from the Ganjiang Bridge; The other Japanese army crossed the Gan River from the vicinity of Shengmi Street and attacked Nanchang from the south in a roundabout way.

On the night of the 28th, the roundabout Japanese army approached the city of Nanchang.

In just one day and one night, the Japanese army approached the city of Nanchang, which undoubtedly caused a shock in the Ninth War Zone.

Not only did Xue Laohu and Luo Zhuoying not expect it, but Chongqing did not expect that the Japanese army would attack Nanchang at this time.

At the request of the Commander's Department of Chongqing and the Ninth Theater, Luo Zhuoying hurriedly asked the 51st and 57th Divisions of the 74th Army to immediately reinforce Nanchang, and ordered the 139th Division to hold Nanchang.

Originally, the focus of the battle was on the Changsha side, but now there is one more Nanchang.
