Chapter 208: Okamura in a hurry
As soon as he thought of this, Okamura Ningji suddenly became anxious, for this battle, although Yan Junliu, the commander of the Central China Dispatch Army, moved the headquarters forward to Hangzhou and dragged Gu Zhutong's main force, but the 13th Army was just a strategic feint, if Gu Zhutong really wanted to desperately reinforce Nanchang, the 13th Army might not be able to stop it. When the Nanxun Railway is cut off, the two divisions in Nanchang will really be in danger. Okamura Ninji immediately telegraphed Yan Junliu overnight, requesting that while the Nanxun Railway was still open, one or two wings of troops should be transported by train to Nanchang in case of emergency. After receiving the telegram, Yan Junliu also felt that the situation was grim, and immediately ordered the Shanghai to send 6,000 marines to reinforce Nanchang by train.
After receiving the telegram from Yan Junliu, Okamura Ningji's heart was still a little upset, he stood up and walked around the war room and suddenly shouted: "Miyamoto...... Miyamoto ......"
Soon, a little fat man ran over and bowed to him: "Hai...... What do you command, Your Excellency, Commander? ”
Okamura commanded in a deep voice: "Help me find out, which of the troops from China launched an attack on Nanxinxiang and Nanchang Xinlong Airport in the north of Nanchang?" ”
"No need to look it up, I already know." Miyamoto Ichiro said without thinking: "I have already found out that it was the 29th Army of China that was responsible for attacking the north of Nanchang City. ”
"The Twenty-ninth Army?" As a well-known Huaxia expert, Okamura Ninji has almost all the important information such as the numbers and commanders of all the famous units of the National Army stored in his mind, and as soon as Miyamoto Ichiro said this, the information of the 29th Army immediately appeared in his mind.
He shook his head slowly: "No...... I know that the 29th Army of China is from the Northwest Army built by Feng Yuxiang, their equipment is notoriously poor, and there are not even a few machine guns, how can they have the ability to take a large group of troops stationed in a few hours, and there are also tank squads and artillery squadrons stationed at Xinlong Airport? ”
Looking at Okamura Ninji's puzzled appearance, Miyamoto Ichiro said with a wry smile: "Your Excellency Commander, I just received information. During the attack on Sinlong Airport, the Chinese army used heavy artillery, and there were quite a few of them, at least the size of a heavy artillery regiment, and the reason why Sinlong Airport was lost so quickly was because of this. ”
"Heavy artillery?" Okamura Ningji was taken aback, and said in a lost voice: "This is impossible, the few heavy cannons that the only few people of China have almost been destroyed, how can it appear under Nanchang City!" ”
"I don't believe it either, but the head of the Horiuchi Kotaro Division swore that he could hear the sound of the heavy artillery of the Shina people clearly in the city, and the Shina people bombarded it for more than an hour. Listening to the sound, it was still a heavy artillery of more than 150 mm caliber, and after the shelling, the people of China almost occupied the Xinlong airfield in a tourist way. ”
"Bagaya deer!" Hearing this, Okamura Ningji's hand couldn't help but clench into a fist, as a Huaxia Tong, he even made heavy artillery in Huaxia today, even if the caliber of more than seventy-five mm shells had to be imported, where did they come from. Suddenly, the name of a unit popped into his mind, and then blurted out.
"The Jingguan troops of China. It must be that Jingguan army! Okamura Ninji suddenly shouted.
When Miyamoto heard this, he first shook his head, and then shook his head and said, "How is it possible?" We just received news yesterday that the Jingguan Brigade in China is still in Gao'an. How could it be possible to rush to the city of Nanchang overnight? ”
Okamura Ningji's face sank like water: "What if they handed over the task of attacking Gao'an to other troops, and they rushed to Nanchang at the speed of a rapid march overnight?" ”
"This ......" Miyamoto was silent for a while, Okamura Ningji's words were very reasonable, and the trick of pro-cicada shelling was familiar to both Japanese and Chinese. It shouldn't be too difficult for the Independent Brigade to play this trick.
"Jingguan troops!" Okamura Ningji's face began to change slowly after chewing a few words in his mouth, and finally said in a deep voice: "If that Jingguan army is also involved in the attack on Nanchang, then Nanchang City is really dangerous. ”
After two more turns, Okamura Ninji muttered, "No. If that's the case, our original deployment is still not safe. ”
Looking at the worried Okamura Ninji, Miyamoto Ichiro couldn't believe that the commander in front of him, who was always calm and composed, could have such a gaffe. After thinking about it for a long time, Okamura Ningji gritted his teeth and said to Miyamoto Ichiro: "You immediately send a telegram to the 13th Division, so that they can prepare to rush to Nanchang." ”
"What?" Miyamoto Ichiro said in surprise: "Your Excellency Commander, the Thirteenth Division is the last reserve we have at hand, if even they are sent to our Wuhan, it will become very empty, if there is any more accident, we will not have a single soldier to send!" The most important thing is that we are not sure whether the unit that appeared is the Jingguan Brigade or not, so there is no need to be in such a hurry. Although Ichiro Miyamoto had already said it in a very euphemistic tone, Okamura Ninji still heard it, and Ichiro Miyamoto was almost implicitly reminding him that he was a little bit of a snake now.
"Alas......" Hearing this, Okamura Ningji sighed, how could he not know, but after all, it is the shadow of a famous tree, and the appearance of the independent brigade under the city of Nanchang is very stressful on him, once Nanchang is returned to the Chinese army, then his future in the military world will be bleak.
After thinking about it for a long time, Okamura Ningji finally withdrew this order, but he still gave an order to the Third Flying Division overnight, asking them to send no less than one flying group to support Nanchang City as soon as it was dawn, and they must beat down the arrogance of the Huaxia army.
The night finally left, the sun reappeared, Su Jin and Chen Anbao walked side by side on the recovered Xinlong Airport, looking at the many soldiers around Chen Anbao with smiles on their faces was very happy, last night's battle made him see the strength of the artillery fire of the Independent Brigade, originally in his opinion, he didn't know how many soldiers' lives to fill in the airport to take was bombarded by Su Jin's heavy artillery, and then the soldiers of the 29th Army went up for a walk around like a tourist and occupied, which simply subverted his previous three views, It turns out that the battle can still be fought like this.
Looking at Su Jin Chen Anbao, who had not slept all night, but was already in good spirits, he couldn't help but say: "Brigade Commander Su, since you are here, my brother won't talk nonsense, from now on, my brother's men and horses will be responsible for attacking the fortifications, and your independent brigade will be responsible for providing artillery cover, what do you think?" ”
"Hmm......" Su Jin had a look of surprise on his face, and then smiled...... (To be continued.) )
