Anan's words made the chief of staff of the Eleventh Army, Kinoshita Yong, frown unconsciously, and had to admit that his words were very reasonable, but Kinoshita Yong felt faintly uneasy, although he couldn't say where the problem was, but he had fought too many battles with Jiang Haoran, and gradually summed up an experience, everything that seemed impossible on the surface often became possible wherever Jiang Haoran was.

Turning to the huge map on the wall and thinking for a long time, Kinoshita Yong's eyes suddenly flashed a fierce color, and he turned around and said urgently: "Wait, Anan-kun??"

Anan Yuji, who was expressing his opinions with Lu Ye Yasushi on the topic just now, heard Kinoshita's exclamation and hurriedly turned around and said, "What's the matter, have you found anything?" ”

"Ananjun, I think Luye Dazuo's words are very reasonable, Jiang Haoran may really be ready to fight Nanchang!" Kinoshita Yong said, picked up the baton on the table, pointed to the map, and continued: "Everyone, please see, if the Hurricane Column is simply premeditated to occupy Leping County, then their purpose can only be to cut off the road of the Fifth Division and the Thirteenth Division of the Imperial Army to Nanchang for reinforcements, once the two divisions are blocked in the periphery, there will only be two divisions left in Nanchang, the Fourth Division and the Thirteenth Division, and two divisions of the Imperial Cooperative Army, and Jiang Haoran can mobilize the following troops: one or two divisions of the Tenth Army in the direction of Yingtan, Fuzhou Yuan Dong's new Fourth Division, Gao'an Liu Dakun's new Fifth Division, Su Peng's new Third Division, Shanggao Yin Donglai's new Second Division, and an armored brigade and a heavy artillery brigade, a total of five to six 1↓ divisions, plus two brigades, Jiang Haoran's troops are all overnumbered, each division is more than 24,000 people, then his fastest organization of troops can reach 150,000 people, think about it, if you use this 150,000 army to attack Nanchang, the two divisions of the Imperial Army plus the two divisions of the Imperial Allied Army, less than 100,000 people, can you hold Nanchang? ”

Kinoshita Yong's words made the faces of everyone in the room solemn, if it was changed before, if the opponent was not Jiang Haoran? The two divisions of the imperial army are not to say that they are defending, even if they completely annihilate more than 100,000 of that army, it is nothing new, but since they met Jiang Haoran, the imperial army no longer has this kind of confidence, on the contrary, in the case of equal strength, if they can draw with Jiang Haoran, they will all feel that this is the biggest victory.

Anan Wei swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva, and pretended to be calm and said: "I don't think it's so mysterious, firstly, there is no news about this in Chongqing, and secondly, this hurricane column is a newly formed unit after all, and its combat effectiveness cannot be compared with the two permanent divisions of the Imperial Army, even if it is desperate, it can't stop the two divisions of the Imperial Army." Third, take 10,000 steps back and suppose, even if the Hurricane Column really blocks the two divisions of the Imperial Army, as long as the Nanxun Line is unblocked, the Imperial Army in Wuhan and even Nanjing can be quickly put into the Nanchang battlefield, which will be a protracted battle. ”

Kinoshita Yong sighed and said: "Ananjun, you look at the problem optimistically and are not afraid of strong enemies, this is right, but don't treat Jiang Haoran as an ordinary ** general, if you change any ** commander, you will definitely not provoke such a big battle without authorization, and Jiang Haoran is completely possible, which is also the fundamental reason why the Ju organ has no news in this regard." Also, Jiang Haoran bewitched the troops with a magical magic, the Hurricane Column may not be as good as the Imperial Army in terms of quality, but in terms of the will to fight, I am afraid that it is better than our bushido spirit, I have fought dozens of battles with Jiang Haoran, but there is no precedent for capturing his soldiers alive, and the only general who was successfully rebelled by our 'Flower of the Imperial Army' Nanzao Yunzi was also chased by Jiang Haoran to Nanjing and killed by himself, so"

As Kinoshita Yumasa spoke, a staff officer hurriedly came in to report that the Fifth Division of the Imperial Army in Jingdezhen had just received a farewell message from the Inoue Wing in Leping County, that the Inoue Wing had collectively shattered its jade, and that the reinforcements had been resisted by the Zhina Army more than ten miles away from Leping, and had now entered a state of stalemate.

After Ah Nanwei roared and waved his fist in the air, and after scolding Jiang Haoran, he immediately ordered the staff officers to call the Fifth Division and the Sixth Division, ordering the two divisions to work together to recapture Leping County.

But Kinoshita Yong immediately came out to stop, now that Leping has fallen into the hands of the Chinese army, I am afraid that it is not a problem that can be solved by a little force if he wants to recapture it, I am most afraid that this is part of Jiang Haoran's conspiracy, and the hurricane column will continue to advance northward and seize Poyang County, so that the road to Nanchang of the two divisions will really be completely cut off, and Nanchang will immediately fall into a state of encirclement on three sides. Therefore, for the sake of today, we can only decisively abandon Leping County, immediately reinforce Poyang County, and ensure the safety of Nanchang as the first priority.

Although Anan Weiji was unwilling, he finally adopted Kinoshita Yong's Jianyì, indeed, even if Leping County was recaptured at this time, it was just a momentary courage to avenge an arrow, if Jiang Haoran really planned to attack Nanchang, he fell for his trick.

In view of the strange development of the situation and the safety of Nanchang, Anan Yuji immediately reported the analysis of the battle situation to the Chinese Dispatch Army Headquarters, and asked General Nishio Zao to make an emergency plan for the attack on Nanchang.

When Nishio Zao received the telegram, he angrily denounced the Chinese government for being despicable, had just negotiated peace with himself, made every effort to exterminate the Eighth Route Army of the New Fourth Army, and launched a military operation against the imperial army in a blink of an eye.

In view of the outrage, Nishio immediately decided to retaliate against the Chongqing government, which also happened to test the performance and power of the Zero fighter.

In the early morning of the next day, 12 Zero fighters and 40 96 medium bombers took off from Jiujiang Airport, and at the same time, dozens of bombers took off from Wuhan and Hangzhou airports.

At about 8 o'clock in the morning, more than 100 bombers, escorted by 12 Zero fighters, formed an air formation over Hunan and flew directly to Chongqing.

At about 9 o'clock in the morning, a group of Japanese planes appeared in the sky over Chongqing, and immediately carried out wanton and indiscriminate bombing, and one after another aerial bombs with a screaming sound rained down like raindrops from high in the sky, and the whole of Chongqing was suddenly turned into a sea of fire.

Thirty Soviet-aided I-16 fighters of the Chinese Air Force hastily rose into the air to meet the enemy, but because the operational requirements of the I-16 fighters were relatively high, and the pilots of the Soviet Union's aid to China returned home after the Battle of Nomenkan, the Chinese Air Force was not yet able to meet the enemy with proficiency, and in addition, the Japanese Zero fighters were not one and a half points higher than the Chinese Air Force in terms of performance, speed, and the quality of the Japanese pilots, and in less than 20 minutes, 27 of the 30 fighters of the Chinese Air Force were shot down by the Japanese Zero fighters. Only three managed to escape from the battlefield.
