Wuhan, the headquarters of the 11th Army of the Japanese Army.

The radio and telephone of the headquarters rang non-stop, and the staff officers and generals shuttled among them, a tense and busy scene, and Lieutenant General Anan Weiji still sat firmly at the top of the circular conference table.

All 52 planes fell into the hands of the Nationalist army, more than 70 planes were destroyed at Wuhan Airport, dozens of ships of the naval brigade were bombed, Jiujiang was lost, thousands of imperial soldiers were shattered, and the losses of strategic materials were even more numerous. Therefore, the Japanese emperor insisted that Anami continue to serve as commander of the 11th Army, hoping that his sinful body would stimulate his fighting spirit, reverse the current unfavorable situation in the campaign, and achieve a decisive victory.

The Japanese emperor even personally sent a message of encouragement, telling Anan to not have a burden in his heart, and to show his usual courageous momentum to fight to the death with Jiang Haoran. Anan Weiji was moved to tears, and swore to the portrait of the emperor that this time Jiang Haoran must be repaid with blood.

On the Nanjing side, Senior General Nishio Shouzo also immediately sent a telegram, again without too much accusation, and told him that the Second Fleet of the Navy would sail into the Yangtze River overnight and would arrive at Jiujiang by tomorrow afternoon at the latest, and that the 117th Infantry Division would immediately set out from Nanjing and march rapidly along the south bank of the Yangtze River, and was expected to reach the vicinity of Jiujiang within five days. At the same time, at dawn, the vanguard of the 15th Division and the vanguard of the 17th Division will launch an attack on Quzhou one after another to relieve the pressure on Nanchang, and the aircraft carriers of the Navy's Combined Fleet will also arrive in the East China Sea, and hundreds of carrier-based aircraft will provide air support for the entire battlefield.

In the face of strong backup and bottomless trust, Anan Wei suddenly boiled with enthusiasm, swept away the gloom and decadence, and the whole person was in good spirits, and made a new plan and deployment for the entire battle situation.

The first order was issued to the Fifth Division in Jingdezhen and the Third Division in Huangshan, with the Modified Wing of the Fifth Division as the vanguard, to drive rapidly along the east bank of Poyang Lake in the direction of Jiujiang, and was expected to reach the periphery of Jiujiang at about 4 p.m., followed by the Modified Wing of the Third Division as the second echelon.

The second order was issued to the 65th Wing, which had just escaped from Jiujiang, and Anan ordered Wing Commander Naoichi Suzuki to be stationed on the spot, and at the same time to use a transport ship to quickly transfer a large brigade of the Imperial Allied Army from Wuhan to him, and only wait for the arrival of the Modified Chemical Wing of the Fifth Division and the Second Fleet of the Navy to flank Jiujiang.

The third order was issued to the 34th Division, ordering the 34th Division to send two wings to aid Yongxiu, and after the fall of Yongxiu, one wing pinned down the new 5th Division of the National Army, and the other immediately turned to aid De'an. Although the 75th Army of the National Army arrived at the periphery of Xiushui in the morning, they did not expect that the imperial army in Xiushui City at this time was not even a brigade, and in the afternoon, the wing of the Fifth Division was restrained to return in time to help, which ensured the safety of Xiushui.

Although the vanguard of the national army was found in Xiushui, Tongcheng, Yueyang, Jingzhou, and Tianmen, and the troops in the two theaters were all dispatched, Anan Weiji believed that it would not be easy for them to break through the defense line of the imperial army, after all, compared with the 40th Group Army, they did not have strong artillery fire, and in terms of siege, they were simply not at the same level as Jiang Haoran's troops.

At about 12 o'clock, De'an sent an urgent telegram that the new third division of the 40th Group Army of the Nationalist Army had arrived outside the city, and after some wanton and indiscriminate bombardment, the two brigades quickly launched an attack from the southeast and southeast directions, and the momentum was menacing, but the brave warriors of the Imperial Army were brave and tenacious, and had already repelled the three attacks of the Nationalist army.

Just after noon, a staff officer hurriedly walked into the headquarters with a happy face and reported to Anan that the Mizuno Wing of the 34th Division had advanced to the flank of the new Third Division of the Nationalist Army half an hour earlier, and had inadvertently discovered the artillery position of the new Third Division.

As soon as this news came out, the entire command suddenly cheered thunderously, successive defeats, the imperial army needed a victory to boost morale, this victory came in time, and it also played a key role in turning the tide of the battle ahead, at least De'an was safe for the time being.

The opportunity for a counterattack had come, and Anan was keenly able to catch the fighters, and immediately ordered De'an's 13th Division and 18th Mixed Brigade to cooperate with the Mizuno Wing to go out of the city to divide and encircle the new 3rd Division of the Nationalist Army, and be sure to completely annihilate the invading enemy.

At about 3 o'clock in the afternoon, Ma Huiling.

Four hours passed, Jiang Haoran still didn't think of a way to cross the horse back to the ridge, and the Japanese defense line was like a sky slashing in front of him.

At that time, he led more than 2,000 soldiers to block the enemy's thousands of troops here, but he did not expect that after a year, he was also blocked by the Japanese army here and was helpless.

The terrain of Mahuiling is too unique, especially from north to south, it is simply a one-man pass, and Jiang Haoran does not want to use the soldier's body to feed the enemy's bullets and forcibly attack, so he has been so consumed.

The new 3rd Division of De'an was attacked by the Japanese army, more than 2,000 officers and men of the artillery regiment were killed, dozens of heavy artillery pieces were destroyed, and even the 3rd Division was besieged on three sides by the Japanese 13th Division, the 18th Mixed Brigade and the Mizuno Wing.

On the one hand, it is a kind of training for Zhang Dabiao, and the growth of an excellent commander is indispensable for summing up experience from failures. Second, Jiang Haoran did not have a staff team around him, and he could not carry out large-scale sand table deduction according to the front-line battle situation, and this complex calculation and measurement could not be completed by one person, and his subjective assumptions would often be deviated, so this battle could only be handed over to Zhang Dabiao to deal with.

De'an's attack did not go well, the location of Mahuiling is particularly important, in case De'an dragged on for three or five days and did not fall, but the Japanese troops on the periphery of Jiujiang were all in place to attack Jiujiang, and the Japanese army sent a strange army from Mahuiling to attack Jiujiang, then Jiujiang would be even more dangerous, so no matter whether Jiang Haoran still went to De'an or not, the Japanese army in Mahuiling must be cleared.

Forced to become more and more unfavorable to the national army, Jiang Haoran still decided to attack, using the Japanese army's command battlefield to block bullets in front, and a team of Snow Wolf special combat team members took the lead in the attack, and transferred a company from Zhao Zhi's team to follow the strategy.

This is really no way, the Japanese army's command chariot is just a thin skin and meat stuffing, it can block bullets but may not be able to block shells, even a 92 infantry gun is enough to destroy it, and the Japanese army on the opposite side is at least a squadron, this thing is indispensable, but Jiang Haoran has no time to wait, so he can only take a risk.
