So how to eliminate such a big gap with the Japanese army's heavy firepower? If it is a small force, in terms of light weapons, we are not bad, at least we can fight a tie with the Japanese army, or even slightly superior.

However, the operation of a large corps cannot still be the same thing as the tactics of infantry detachments, what kind of night combat and close combat, and after the close operation, the Japanese army will be fought in close combat.

The artillery of the Japanese army is a few miles away, how can you approach? No matter how fast you run for a few miles, it will take a while, and the artillery fire will already destroy you halfway.

What's more, you can't break through the enemy's line of fire at once, so it's impossible to charge to the enemy's artillery position with an infantry assault alone.

The Japanese army still has planes, how can your infantry rush into the sky with mud legs, and you don't even dare to show your head, so you can only hide everywhere, and you can't talk about a frontal confrontation.

But people are alive, and it is impossible to suffocate these dead things, and the current countermeasure is to "destroy the road".

In the Ninth Theater of Operations in the northern Jiangxi region, the 19th Group Army mobilized all units and people from all over the country to destroy all the main roads from Fengxin to Yifeng, Gao'an to Shanggao, Qingjiang (Zhangshu) to Xinyu (Xinyu) from the west of Nanchang.

All the roads that can be used for cars are dug up, combined with the fields on the side of the road, and the water is diverted into them, turning them into paddy fields, leaving only small ridges where at most two people can walk side by side.

This is fun, the villagers are naturally happy, there are a lot of paddy fields out, you can grow more food, and the Japanese army is uncomfortable, the photos taken from the plane, the division commanders look black.

Originally, their advantage over the Japanese army and China was overwhelming in all directions, whether it was weapons, personnel, etc., but now after several years of bloody battles, China's army has grown rapidly.

In particular, in terms of personnel quality, elite units such as the 74th Army are no longer so intimidating to the Japanese army in terms of personnel quality, and with the strengthening of light weapons in company-level units, they will even be stronger than the Japanese army when fighting in detachments.

Now the Japanese army relies more on aircraft, artillery and tanks, and the aircraft is indeed invincible, but the aircraft also has aviation fuel restrictions, that is, they cannot participate in the whole battle.

In addition to airplanes, it relies on tanks and artillery, but these two iron guys need a big road to run, and now I see the plain and hilly area in northwest Jiangxi, and the big road has all become paddy fields, how to go?

Even if it were to leave, it would be similar to that of an engineer unit, and the progress was slow, and now the Japanese army was already ready to send troops and weapons and ammunition in Nanchang.

The commander of the 33rd Division, Lieutenant General Sakurai, the commander of the 34th Division, Lieutenant General Shigeru Oga, and Major General Naozo Ikeda of the 20th Independent Mixed Brigade discussed a result.

For the time being, the infantry vanguard opened the way, the engineering units then paved the way, and the artillery and tanks were the last to hit the road.

At the beginning of March, the Japanese troops had completed their assembly in Nanchang, leaving the 213th Wing of the 33rd Division, the 218th Wing of the 34th Division, and the 101st Brigade of the 20th Brigade to defend Nanchang.

The rest of the troops were plus the 3rd Flying Regiment of Major General Saburo Endo (more than 150 aircraft) and a tank brigade (more than 40 vehicles). The so-called "Jinjiang Operation", also known as the "Poyang Operation", began.

The Japanese army adopted the tactics of separate attack and combined attack, divided into three routes and set off from the west of Nanchang, and the final joint attack point was set at Shanggao, preparing to take Shanggao, open the passage to the west into Hunan, and wait for the opportunity to flank Changsha with the Japanese army in Yueyang.

The Japanese army on the north road was the 33rd Division, from Fengxin to Huibu, Shangfu to Yifeng, and then to attack Gao.

The 34th Division of the Japanese Army in the middle of the road went to Xishan and Dacheng to Gao'an, and then continued to advance westward, along the Hunan and Jiangxi lines on the north bank of the Jinjiang River, and attacked Gao.

The Japanese troops on the southern route were independently mixed into the 20th Brigade and marched westward along the south bank of the Geumjin River to protect the flank of the Japanese army on the central route and attack towards the mountain heights.

Go high, go high!

At this moment, everyone's eyes are on the high.

On the high, choke the Hunan and Jiangxi highways, east of the Poyang Plain, backed by Jiuling Mountain in Luoxiao Mountain, can go out of Nanchang in the east, can also enter Changsha in the west, is a strategic place related to the south of the Yangtze River in China.

In the northeast of Shanggao City, hills and mountains and hills are continuous, and the mirror mountain in the east of the city is condescending, and the upper and lower bridges are controlled.

But after the east out of the mountain, a plain along the way, at most some hills, almost no danger to defend, only the spring and summer rise period of Surabaya in front of the mountain, Tangpu, Guanqiao, Sixi several small towns along the coast, gather along the river, a little barrier effect.

At that time, the headquarters of the 74th Army was in Guanqiao Street, the 51st Division was in Sixi, the 57th Division was in Liugongmiao, and the 58th Division was in Tangpu.

At the beginning of March of the 30th year of the Republic of China (1941), in accordance with the requirements of the Strategic Attack Army, the 74th Army had just finished the first phase of training.

The three divisions of the 74th Army after the refitting were on standby, but Liao Lingqi, the commander of the 58th Division, had already gone to Yuelu Mountain in Changsha, Hunan Province to participate in the officer training regiment to study.

Now the 58th Division is temporarily under the command of Deputy Division Commander Zhang Lingwu, who is the old superior of the Three Dogs, since Gao An was wounded by a machine gun bullet in the thigh last year, he went to Hong Kong for treatment, and after returning, one leg was left disabled, and he was called the "lame general."

Liao Lingqi has deep qualifications in the 74th Army, graduated from the fourth phase of Huangpu, and during the Northern Expedition, he rushed and beat at Tingsi Bridge, and his right hand was injured and disabled, and he became famous in World War I.

After that, Liao Lingqi served as the battalion commander of the Capital Guard Division (88th Division), participated in the "128" Shanghai Defense Battle in 1932, and was promoted to regiment commander for his outstanding achievements.

In 1934, Liao Lingqi went to Fujian, Jiangxi and other places with the 88th Division to "encircle and suppress" the red forces. In 1937, he participated in the Battle of Songhu and fought a bloody battle with the Japanese army in Shanghai, and was promoted to brigade commander, commanding the whole brigade, and fighting against the Japanese for more than 80 days.

After retreating from the Shanghai battlefield, like the 74th Army, Liao Bufeng was transferred to Nanjing, responsible for garrisoning the area of Yuhuatai and Zhonghua Gate.

When the Japanese invaders besieged Nanjing, the 88th Division bore the brunt, and Liao Lingqi's brigade suffered heavy casualties, and two regiment commanders were killed one after another, but Liao Lingqi still insisted on supervising the battle on the front line.

It was not until December 12, after the Nanjing garrison commander's headquarters ordered a complete retreat, that he led his troops to withdraw across the Jiangbei. Later, he was transferred to Yu Jishi's 58th Division as the deputy division commander (Yu had previously been the commander of the 88th Division, and Liao was a subordinate and subordinate relationship).

After that, Liao Lingqi, as a member of the 74th Army, participated in the Battle of Lanfeng and fought fiercely in Sanyi Village; Participated in the Battle of Wuhan and fought a bloody battle of Wanjialing......

Liao Lingqi fought bravely and made great achievements, but he had a big shortcoming, that is, he was arrogant and conceited, had no one in his eyes, and his exports were not inferior.

Even to his boss, he has an arrogant attitude, he has always looked down on Wang Yaozu, and sometimes he retorts, which makes Wang Yaozu, who is already a military commander, very embarrassed.

Wang Yaozu is the third phase of Huangpu, only one phase older than Liao Lingqi, the key is that Liao Lingqi is Yu Jishi's cronies, and Yu Jishi is a cronie of the chairman, which is a bit troublesome.

Yu Jishi is kind to Wang Yaozu, and he is also a colleague for many years, an old superior, and a relative of the chairman of the committee.

Therefore, beating a dog also depends on the owner's face, Wang Yaozu can only be tolerant and indulgent to Liao Lingqi, but Liao Lingqi thinks that the army commander is afraid of him, and he is even more unscrupulous, which makes Wang Yaozu have a headache. 2k reading web
