Japanese artillery fire erupted again from the three intersections, and the houses on the 6th Division's defensive line were once again buried in flames. However, in order to guard against the bazookas, the three artillery positions of the Japanese army are placed in the depth of the three roads, and the angle is limited, so that the artillery fire is concentrated in the buildings in this area facing the intersection, but this time it is not like the previous round of blind fire, it is everywhere, and the dense shells almost plow the shops on the street into the ground, and one or two shells may be barely able to resist the sand base, but for this kind of cluster of shells, it seems a bit child's play. The firepower of the Sixth Division was also sharply reduced, but the Japanese did not take this opportunity to continue to increase their forces to attack, presumably knowing that artillery fire could only destroy the narrow area of the junction, and the fire on both sides would still bring them a fatal blow.

The remnants of the Japanese army began to retreat under the cover of artillery fire, although there were still people falling, but there were always fish that slipped through the net, and thousands of Japanese troops poured out at each intersection, and I am afraid that by the time they returned, they would not even be able to make up two hundred. On the streets strewn with corpses, there were still some wounded Japanese soldiers who were missing arms and legs screaming miserably, and some did not want to die, crying and waving in the direction of the intersection, and howling miserably: "Help me!" Please, help me??????"

Although there were several hand-to-hand battles, the Japanese army basically retreated at the touch of a button, and did not have a large number of troops to launch a decent attack, and it is not difficult to see that the center of gravity of the Japanese army is not on this line of defense, and even the search team that appears here may only be a small part of the search team.

Su Peng asked Jiang Haoran several times, hoping to send a force to cross the line to attack on the side, on the one hand, to reduce the pressure on the Sixth Division, on the other hand, to test the reality, but Jiang Haoran stopped it, the reason is very simple, the pressure of the Sixth Division is within the range of bearing, and there is no need to support, on the other hand, it is their purpose to hold their own defense line, as for the attack, it is the business of the Japanese army, and they can give the Japanese army a headache by waiting for work, so don't do so many things.

After the battle in the morning, the Japanese army did not attack again throughout the afternoon and into the evening, on the one hand, the huge casualties also needed time to rest, and on the other hand, the Japanese army probably had to reestimate the strength of Jiang Haoran in Nanchang and the deployment of troops in various areas.

An inconspicuous house on the north line of Nanchang. With guards on the left and three on the right and several antennas sticking out of the roof, it is not difficult to see that the temporary headquarters of the Japanese army is located here. Nakagawa Guang, who had suffered all of Jiang Haoran's suffering, thought that Jiang Haoran was less than two or three kilometers away from him, and he didn't dare to slack off at any time, if it weren't for Yoshikawa Yudasa, who was stationed near the headquarters with the special combat team, Nakagawa Guang was not even willing to put the antenna, the symbol of the command center, on his roof.

It is also because of Yoshikawa Yong's request that the lights of the headquarters will be so bright, and a few oil lamps will illuminate the "centipede" on Nakagawa Hiroshi's face brightly, and also make his face look particularly hideous. The attack in the morning caused him to lose nearly 2,000 warriors of the imperial army, and the most terrible thing was not the loss of soldiers, but the damage to the fighting spirit of the imperial army. The wounded soldiers on the street howled until the evening, and then gradually lost their voice, just under the guns of **, they actually stopped shooting them, so that they were almost all alive and painful, scared to death, and even died of blood, the tragic scene almost made all the imperial soldiers cry, and the fear has spread throughout the army, although there have also been several rescues, but the cunning Jiang Haoran actually arranged snipers, once the imperial army shows its head, it will definitely be sniped, idiots know, this is also their main purpose of not killing and wounding soldiers.

Although the loss is so big, in addition to knowing where Jiang Haoran's defense line is, Zhongchuan Guang didn't even know how many troops he had, let alone where his focus was, and even for him to arrange troops on the front line of Jiang Defense, he felt a little weird, from his overall layout, his main purpose was to wrench himself in a war of attrition, if he pressed all his forces on a defensive line, wouldn't it be more direct and easier to twist into a force? Choosing a "7" shaped line of defense comes out, does he still want to encircle himself?

Nakagawa Hiroshi took out the map drawn by the General Staff this afternoon, explained his questions and opinions, and asked Yoshikawa Isamu and several wing commanders to share their opinions and how the next battle should be fought.

Yoshikawa Yong deserved to be a graduate of the Munich Military Academy in Germany, and he could see at a glance Jiang Haoran's true intention to deploy defense on the eastern front, and the focus was not on the railway station or the wharf, just to prevent the imperial army's naval ships from entering the hinterland of Nanchang from the Ganjiang River and attacking their rear, and at the same time, he also expressed doubts about Nakagawa Hiroshi asking Tada Jun for naval ships to enter the Ganjiang River from Poyang Lake.

Nakagawa Hiroshi suddenly realized at the same time, but it was a wry smile, since the Navy's Murai Brigade was destroyed by Jiang Haoran in Wuhan, Vice Admiral Tada Jun pushed all the responsibility to the Murai Brigade's negligence, so far the Navy has been offended cleanly, although this time under the pressure of the high-level, the Navy sent a Yamaguchi Brigade, but basically there are some transport ships and some old and broken warships, not even a decent destroyer, plus the waters in this area are more complicated, There are also some unidentified armed bandits who take advantage of the fire to loot, and as long as a ship at anchor is left alone on Poyang Lake, it is allowed to be attacked by them, but these warships will often drop anchor. So, let's not talk about any water attacks, even entering the waters of this area is a problem.

The words of Nakagawa Guang and Yoshikawa Yong immediately made the commanders of each wing determine that Jiang Haoran's troops in Nanchang were definitely more than one division, and that the distance of nearly two kilometers on the Jiangfang and the main road from east to west was at least four or five kilometers. If it is really according to Yoshikawa Yong's statement, Jiang Haoran is worried that the imperial army's navy will enter the Ganjiang River and can withstand the two-sided attack of the imperial army, then his strength on this line will be at least one division, right?

The elite that Jiang Haoran relies on, that is, his special combat team and the submachine gun battalion, judging from today's battle, the entire firepower is basically heavy machine guns and submachine guns, that is to say, all the pressure on this line is his elite, although Jiang Haoran is arrogant, he has basically never fought a battle that he is not sure of, and the defense line in the middle is such a long distance, he can't just use this amount of troops! How can you get one division, that is, Nanchang has at least two divisions, or even more. As for the authenticity of the intelligence, it is only a hundred kilometers from Gao'an to Nanchang, and they can completely go out of the city during the day to put on the illusion of retreating, and then come back at night, thus deceiving our intelligence personnel and our planes.
