On March 17, 1941, the 34th Division of the Japanese Army led by Oga Shigeru captured Gao'an City, 130 kilometers outside Nanchang.

Perhaps because of the grievances of more than a month, Oga Shigeru and his 34th Division were like hungry wolves out of the cage, and the day after they captured Gao'an City, they sent troops to brave the torrential rain to capture Tuanlongpu.

At the same time, the 33rd Division of the Japanese Sakurai Province 3rd on the North Road occupied Fengxin before the 74th Army, and then in order to cooperate with the actions of the Oga Mobu, it also attacked in the rain, but it was besieged by the Chinese army in the mountains between Shangfu, Ganfang, and Kuzhuao, and fell into a bitter battle for a while.

The 20th Brigade of the South Road, under the leadership of Chida Naozo, continued to advance westward, first occupying Gray Port, and then forcibly crossing the north bank of the Geumjiang River, intending to join the 34th Regiment.

Sun Yumin was fighting against the muddy roads and the unbeautiful Tiangong on the way to the army, and he couldn't receive a real-time battle report, which made Luo Zhuoying suffer, originally he wanted to be a hands-off shopkeeper, and this battle was fought by Sun Yumin himself, but now such a situation forced him to come out to help Sun Yumin support this scene.

Sun Yumin's combat deployment was to send someone to report to Luo Zhuoying, so he knew very well what Sun Yumin's purpose was in this battle.

Since he wants to sing such a big play, as his boss, how can Luo Zhuoying not support it. Therefore, the first order he gave was to cut off the softest of the three Japanese armies: the 33rd Division of the Japanese Army, which was surrounded between Shangfu, Ganfang and Kuzhuao. This is also the one that Sun Yumin asked him to help solve in his battle plan.

Sun Yumin dared to let the 139th Division retreat in advance because he completely handed over the Japanese army on the northern route to the 19th Army and the 74th Army to deal with. If Luo Zhuoying's 19th Group Army plus the 74th Army's total of four corps can't deal with a small Japanese 33rd Division, then Sun Yumin really has nothing to say, you must know that his 12th Army has to deal with a B division and an independent mixed brigade of the devil alone, and his main force 20th Division has to contain the 106th Division in Jiujiang.

On 20 March, the rain that had been falling for half a month finally stopped, and at this moment, the new 34th Division led by Sun Yumin also came to the vicinity of Shanggao after going through hardships.

I never knew that mud would cause so much trouble to cars and tanks, the red soil of Jiangxi was particularly sticky, and it didn't take long to clean the mud from the tires of the cars and the chains of the tanks, so that the first and second regiments marched much faster than them on foot, so that the seventh regiment later began to march on foot, just like them.

Marching on a rainy day, although there is a robe, but in fact, the role it can play is really limited, many soldiers were poured by the pouring rain, Sun Yumin looked at many battlefields were frozen to the lips white, his heart was very unbearable, but he couldn't be soft-hearted, because if he didn't hurry up, the 81st Division and the 139th Division might not be able to withstand the attack of the 34th Division of the devils, and if the devils were mixed into the 20th Brigade to join the war group, the two divisions might be on the verge of collapse.

Finally rushed to the vicinity of Shanggao when the weather was fine, and the new 34th Division could finally have a good rest, these days have really exhausted them, just a few hundred kilometers of travel, they have to get up for five or six days, who would have thought.

As soon as the high-power radio station of the military department was set up, the telegram flew over like snowflakes, first of all, Zhanshutang, he almost let the radio station of the 81st Division call the military headquarters non-stop, after all, this was the first big battle of the 81st Division under the command of Sun Yumin, and it was also the first battle as the main force, which could not help but make him a little nervous, although Sun Yumin sent a messenger to rush to inform him that he was leading his troops to go to Shanggao, but Zhanshutang was still not at ease, and at the moment when he finally contacted Sun Yumin's radio station, he finally settled down.

Similarly, the 139th Division led by Shi Zhonghua and Wang Heng is also constantly calling Sun Yumin, they are transferred from Fengxin to Shanggao, and the departure time and distance are relatively short, so it has been two or three days since they arrived at the designated place, and Zhao Lei and several officers sent by Sun Yumin have also arrived at the 139th Division, nominally to assist in commanding the troops, but in fact there is only one purpose, that is, to catch the traitor who is the devil's inner line.

Luo Zhuoying also sent a telegram as soon as possible, informing him that the 70th Army and the 72nd Army had already engaged in fire with the 33rd Division of the Devil, and that the 74th Army was outflanking and encircling the enemy, so that he could concentrate on boldly dealing with the Japanese troops on the middle and south routes, and he could ignore the Sakurai Province 3 on the north road.

These circumstances were all expected by Sun Yumin, but Zhang Xiaohu also sent a telegram informing Sun Yumin that a large Japanese flying formation passed by on the side of Jiujiang and was coming in the direction of the upper heights.

After Sun Yumin received this telegram, he was shocked into a cold sweat, he had been feeling that he seemed to be missing something these days, and now he understands, he has undercalculated the devil's plane.

Since he had a record of fighting with devil planes on the battlefield in Nanjing, no Japanese aircraft participated in these battles of Jining or Lanfeng, as well as the defeat of the Botian detachment and the battle of Foziling against devils, which made Sun Yumin habitually ignore the devil's killing weapon.

Fortunately, Zhang Xiaohu's urgent reminder gave him a chance to regain his negligence, and he hurriedly ordered the position of the 81st Division to make air defense preparations. It is said that it is to prepare for air defense, but in fact, what preparations can be made, except for digging some hidden caves, there is really nothing else that can be prepared, anti-aircraft guns? No! Anti-aircraft machine guns? Nor did it! Own aircraft? More no! Therefore, for the 81st Division and the 12th Army, the devil's air force is a bug and there is no solution.

As soon as he thought of this, Sun Yumin had a terrible headache, first of all, he couldn't forgive himself for making such a big mistake, and almost "sold" the entire 81st Division; The second is to think about how to deal with the devil's plane, not only his own 12th Army, he dares to say that even the 74th Army, the ace that Chen Cheng and Luo Zhuoying are relying on now, does not have a very good way to deal with the devil's air force, after all, anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns are still a luxury for the national army. How can you give the devil's plane a sudden damage, Sun Yumin's mind is running rapidly, there is a Browning machine gun on the M3 tank that can be used as an anti-aircraft machine gun, but this machine gun at the same position as the turret is the only anti-aircraft weapon of the tank, Sun Yumin will not be stupid enough to remove these machine guns to protect the tank. This doesn't work, then you can only rely on the Czechs and Maxim to act as weapons against the devil's planes, and let them consume bullets against the planes, so what about the infantry on the ground? It is impossible to repel the enemy if you are in the center. Sun Yumin suddenly thought that it was the 74th Army and the 19th Group Army that were fighting above him, and this batch of planes may not have come to attack his own troops, judging from Luo Zhuoying's previous telegram, it seems that the encirclement of the enemy's 33rd Division has been completed, and the arrival of the devil's plane at this moment is very likely to rescue the 33rd Division. Yes, the devil's air force is going to reinforce Sakurai Province, Sun Yumin is more and more sure of what he thinks, he hurriedly sent an urgent telegram to Luo Zhuoying, Wang Yaowu, Li Jue, and Han Quanpu to remind them that the devil's air force is coming.

However, Sun Yumin's notice was late, and when Li Jue and Han Quanpu received his early warning telegram, more than a dozen Type 96 medium-sized land attack planes roared in, and dozens of kilograms of aerial bombs continued to hit the positions, not to mention the power of the bomb explosion, the dizzying explosion sound alone and the shock wave generated by the explosion were almost impossible for the soldiers of the national army to parry, not to mention the terrifying airborne heavy machine gun diving and strafing.

Seeing that the devils who were surrounded to death were about to escape from the circle, the combat effectiveness of the 74th Army broke out at the critical moment, Shi Zhongcheng's 57th Division and Liao Lingqi's 58th Division blocked the gap between the 70th Army and the 72nd Army, while Li Tianxia's 51st Division was constantly compressing the encirclement, and the 33rd Division of the Japanese Army was blocked again. This was exchanged for the flesh and blood of the soldiers of the 70th Army and the 72nd Army, and if it were not for the troops of their two armies risking huge casualties, staring at their positions and consuming all the ammunition of the devil's plane, the 74th Army might not have been able to plug the gap so smoothly.

Li Jue and Han Fangpu were both cadres who followed Luo Zhuoying to fight in the east and west, and they never flinched at any time, but they couldn't help but be moved when they saw their subordinates being disabled in battalions and regiments.

The attack of the 33rd Division was blocked, and even besieged to the death, while the progress of the Japanese army on the south road mixed into the 20th Brigade was very smooth, and after occupying the gray port, it quickly broke through the Jinjiang defense line and converged with the 34th Division of the Japanese Army in Gao'an.

The reason why the mixed brigade of the devils advanced so fast was because Sun Yumin didn't let the troops resist at all, and Gray Port just pretended to resist for a while, and abandoned the position before the devil's artillery bombardment; Although the resistance on the north bank of the Jinjiang River was fierce, it was also arranged by Sun Yumin first, and if they didn't even organize a decent defensive position to cross the river, the devil would definitely be suspicious.

On the 22nd, Oga Shigeru's 34th Division of the Japanese Army and Chida Naozo's independent mixed 20th Brigade finally entered the net set up for them step by step.

The 81st Division was in the first line of defense and bore the brunt of the frantic attack.

Zhanshutang is not without fighting with the devil, even if it is the devil's permanent division he has fought against, originally thought that with the army that he has brought for several years, he can block the enemy for a while, but who would have expected that Oga Shige, a war maniac, has been harassed for more than a month, and he has already been depressed to explode, if it wasn't forcible to be suppressed by the Yuanbu, he would have come to find trouble in the exhibition book. At this moment, Oga Shigeru and his 34th Division, as if a bloodthirsty demon had smelled the smell of blood, slaughtered the 81st Division of Zhanshutang, even though Zhanshutang had already arranged this defensive line, but it still did not stand the test, and the two battalions on the first defensive position were almost completely wiped out after less than 20 minutes.

Zhanshutang was red-eyed, and added another regiment to the position, although he knew that this position was just a bait to lure Oga Mao, and there was no great need to defend, but Sun Yumin told him to hold on for a day and then retreat, Zhanshutang had to fill the position with a hard head, even if he was distressed, he had to do it with tears.

Oga Shigeru never imagined that the Chinese army in front of him would be so resilient, and his own attack continued from morning to nightfall, losing many soldiers but failing to advance half a step.

"大賀Lieutenant General 閣下はTodayか休戦か、明日の砲兵連隊の野砲と山砲が来るのを待って、もう一度しっかりと教えてきたこの中国軍!" (Your Excellency, Lieutenant General Oga, let's make a truce today, wait for the arrival of the field artillery and mountain artillery of the artillery wing tomorrow, and then teach the Chinese army in front of you a good lesson.) Chida Naozo was a little incomprehensible to Oga Shigeru, he had already seen that the Chinese army in front of him was not an easy persimmon, but he sent troops to attack again and again, and with the help of only a few grenadiers and mortars, this kind of strong attack could only sacrifice the lives of the soldiers.

Although the casualties of the Chinese army were not small on this day's attack, the losses of the 34th Division that were engaged in the attack were also quite large.

Fortunately, it was not the person who died who mixed into the 20th Brigade by himself, since he couldn't persuade him, let him take the blame, Chi Tian Naozo could only say this to himself.

"遅田君,空はもう暗くなったから,私はまだ何かほかに方法があるのか?明日にしかならない." (Chi Tian-kun, it's already dark, is there anything else I can do?) We'll have to wait until tomorrow. Oga Shigeru said unwillingly, perhaps realizing that the whole day's fighting had caused casualties to his troops, he gritted his teeth and said: "円部Commander は、Endo Third 飛行団に十数機の飛行機で戦闘をしたと言っていたが、どこにいたのだろうか.? あなたは私と一绪にいて、しかし一日の戦闘を目撃して、私は文いて、あなたは1羽のbirdが空から飞ぶことを见たことがありますか?" (The Commander of the Endo said that the Endo 3rd Flying Regiment sent more than a dozen planes to help in the war, but where?) Chi Tian-kun, you are with me, but you have witnessed the battle for a whole day, I want to ask, have you ever seen even a bird fly from the sky? ）

Chida understood what he meant by these words, and to put it bluntly, he was blaming Saburo Endo's Third Flying Regiment for not supporting him. Hearing his complaint, Chi Tian thought in his heart, as a lieutenant general division commander with tens of thousands of troops, he didn't think about how to break through the enemy's defense line, and if the progress was a little unsmooth, he would put the responsibility on others, how did this kind of person sit in the position of lieutenant general division commander of the Imperial Army.

After having this thought in his heart, Chida Naozo's eyes began to have some disdain when he looked at Oga Shigeru.
