The battle at Qingyun Station was not hidden from the Japanese troops in the city, and when the final charge was launched, Takumi Yoshii sent a telegram to Kaoka Village Ninji and the 101st and 107th Divisions in Nanchang City, respectively, telling them the results, and this result also surprised the Japanese troops in Nanchang City and Okamura Ninji in Wuhan.

Nani ...... The Marines were wiped out by the Separate Brigade? After hearing the news, Okamura Ninji sat on the chair in shock, unable to believe his ears.

"Yes, Your Excellency Commander, Major General Yoshii Takuya led his troops to launch a decisive attack after sending this telegram, and he also specifically said in the second half of the telegram that they were subjected to a special incendiary bomb fired by this Jingguan army, and the whole army suffered heavy casualties without defense, and finally the whole army was annihilated!" Miyamoto Ichiro knew that his boss must be full of anger now, and he didn't even dare to look up at Okamura Ninji for fear of being angry.

"Independent Brigade...... Su Jin! ”

Okamura Ninji now rushed to his head as soon as he heard these two names, this Su Jin and the Independent Brigade have brought too much trouble and disaster to the empire, could it be that this Su Jin was born to be the nemesis of the empire?

Looking at the way Okamura Ninji stroked his forehead, Miyamoto Ichiro asked cautiously: "Your Excellency Commander, since the defenders of the Marine Corps and Nanxin Town have been shattered, then the outer defense line in the north of Nanchang City is completely empty, should we order the Thirteenth Division to speed up and rush to Nanchang?" ”

"What's the use of being fast?" Okamura Ningji's face was full of helplessness: "With the development of the war, the number of troops participating in the war is also increasing, just now, the commander of the 101st Division's Inagaki Hiroki Division called to say that there are several more Chinese army numbers in the east of Nanchang City, including the 74th Army and the 37th Division, which are known as the strong brigades of China. I guess these units are specifically waiting for the 13th Division. ”

At this time, Okamura Ningji was indeed full of bitterness, he really didn't expect that Chairman Chiang would be so sensitive to the strategic place of Nanchang, and he dared to launch a large-scale counteroffensive against the Japanese army less than a few months after the end of the Battle of Wuhan, wasn't he afraid that the imperial army would take the opportunity to attack again? Or did he think that after a few months of recuperation, the Chinese army already had the strength to carry out a counteroffensive in some areas?

looked at Okamura Ninji's embarrassed look. Ichiro Miyamoto also empathizes, as the operational staff officer of the headquarters, he is very familiar with the situation of the 11th Army at this time. Don't look at the 11th Army sitting in Wuhan, and sitting on more than 200,000 troops, it seems to be strong and majestic, but the combat tasks of the 11th Army are also very heavy.

In today's China, there are 12 divisions of Wei Lihuang in Henan and Anhui, 32 divisions of Yan Xishan in Shanxi and Shaanxi, 32 divisions of Gu Zhutong in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Fujian, and 18 divisions of Zhang Fakui in Guangdong and Guangxi. Hubei and Henan had 26 divisions of Li Zongren, and Chiang, Hunan, and Hubei had 52 divisions of Xue Yue. The 11th Army alone directly bears the pressure of the 78 divisions in Huaxia, and this pressure is not something that ordinary people can understand.

In order to attack Nanchang, Okamura Ningji has already scattered 80 percent of the troops on hand, and the 13th Division sent for reinforcements yesterday is already the last mobile force on his hands, and now Okamura is not an exaggeration to say that he is the commander of the light pole, and he really can't draw extra troops to support Nanchang.

Okamura Ningji thought about it for a long time, slowly stood up and said to Miyamoto Ichiro: "Miyamoto-kun, you immediately send a report to Commander Tadajun." Report our situation truthfully, and ask Your Excellency the Commander to immediately send no less than two divisions to reinforce Nanchang, otherwise I dare not guarantee that Nanchang City can be held! ”

"What...... This ......" Ichiro Miyamoto couldn't help but be stunned, he had been Okamura's staff officer for so long. Naturally, I know what a proud person he is, and now he can say the words to ask the dispatch army headquarters for help, which is enough to prove that Okamura Ninji can no longer control the current situation.

Seeing Miyamoto Ichiro's stunned appearance, Okamura Ninji couldn't help frowning: "What...... Didn't you hear what I just said? ”

"Ah...... Hail! ”

Ichiro Miyamoto quickly bowed. Immediately strode out of the office, looking at Ichiro Miyamoto who disappeared at the door, Okamura Ninji sighed and muttered, "Nanchang, Nanchang." Is it really right to take you this time? ”

When the last rays of sunlight disappeared into the sky, Nanchang City also fell into darkness. In the original urban defense headquarters located in the southeast of Nanchang City, the two division commanders of the 101st Division and the 107th Division were sitting opposite each other in the office, and their expressions were very solemn, because just two hours ago, they had just received a farewell message from Major General Yoshii Takuya of the Marine Corps who came to reinforce them, and at the same time, Nanxin Town was also lost, plus the loss of Xinlong Airport, which meant that the north direction of Nanchang City had completely fallen into the hands of the Chinese army.

Inagaki said with a calm face to the commander of the 107th Division, Kotaro Horiuchi, "Horiuchi-kun, the north of the city has fallen, and the marines who came to reinforce have all been shattered, which also means that the north of the city has completely fallen into the hands of the Shina people, they can attack the southern city at any time, and the city defense in the north of the city is in charge of your 107th Division, are you sure to resist the attack of the Shina people?" ”

Kotaro Horiuchi shook his head silently: "According to the intelligence, the reason why the Shina people were able to quickly take the Xinlong Airport, Nanxin Town, and the reinforcement of the marines was largely because of the emergence of the Shina Independent Brigade, which has a powerful heavy artillery unit, and the imperial army is easy to suffer when it encounters him, so I am not sure." ”

Inagaki Hiroki frowned and said, "Horiuchi-kun, I remember that your defensive force in the north of the city is a wing, so let's do it, I will transfer you another brigade of troops, please be sure to hold the north of the city." ”

"I can only say as much as possible, I guess it should be fine to stick to it for three days, but if it is more than three days, I am not sure."

"Three days!" Inagaki looked at the table lightly, and after a while said: "In this way, if the city wall in the north of the city cannot be defended, you will order the troops to withdraw to the city to defend, and we will fight with the people of China, I don't believe that the people of China dare to use heavy artillery to attack their city." ”

"Yo Xi!" Kotaro Horiuchi nodded, "Hiroki Inagaki is right, we can withdraw our troops to the city and fight street battles with the Shina people, as long as it drags on for a few days, the imperial reinforcements will arrive soon, and then we don't have to be afraid of anything!"
