Chapter 543: The 101st Division Scared Back
The Bofors field artillery camp at Deshengmen opened fire, and the devil's shelling stopped at once; The position of the cattle shop suddenly died down, and the constant howling from the position indicated that many brothers had paid the price of their lives in the shelling of the devils;
"Hurry up, rescue the wounded;" The shelling of the positions stopped, and the officers, shouting for their brothers, began to count the personnel, collect the bodies, and rescue the wounded brothers......
"Erleng, where are you?" The guard platoon leader of the 6th Battalion came out of the machine-gun bunker and shouted, he had not come in since Erleng went out, and he already had an ominous feeling;
"Platoon commander, I'm here; I'm fine! The sound of Erleng came from a crater,
"What about Brother Ogawa? How's it going? The platoon commander's voice came from the edge of the crater,
"I can't die, my ass is a few petals!" Erleng said, a few brothers got down from above, got a stretcher, carried the young Xiaochuan on the stretcher, and prepared to send him back to Nanchang......
"Boom, boom"
The devil's artillery position, not far from the regimental headquarters of the 101st Division, has now fallen into a sea of flames and shrapnel, and the falling shells are like having eyes, constantly exploding on the devil's artillery position, and the shells on the devil's position are constantly exploding; Field artillery and mountain artillery positions are different from anti-aircraft artillery positions, as long as the shells are detonated, there is no possibility that the entire artillery position will survive!
"Your Excellency, Division Commander, our artillery positions are finished! The artillery of the Chinese found our position. The chief of staff of the 101st Division, Nishiyama Fukudasa, reported with a dejected face,
"If the people of China are able to shell our artillery positions, they can shell our field camps; The artillery is gone, retreat! Fun! Wait for the Heavy Artillery Wing to arrive! telegraphed to the headquarters of the 11th Army to explain our current situation; Saito Yahei said helplessly,
Without the help of aircraft, its heavy artillery wing is still on the way, and the 101st Division has now lost all its mountain artillery and field artillery, leaving only the defensive force; It is impossible to attack, and the artillery fire of the people of China will make the attacking warriors die worthless!
"Yes, Your Excellency Division Commander!" Chief of Staff Nishiyama Fu reluctantly gave the order to retreat,
The 101st Division was in high spirits when it set off from Lehua in the morning, but it had just set up the field camp and had to flee back to Lehua in a hurry less than two hours;
Wuhan, Headquarters of the Eleventh Army; Gangcun Ningji looked very helpless with the latest battle report of the 101st Division, the invincible means of the Imperial Japanese Army on the Chinese battlefield seemed to have been calculated this time, and it suffered heavy losses under a small Nanchang city, but it was not an inch!
"Order Wucheng's 116th Division to march along the Ganjiang River to Nanchang, and I will contact the support of the navy; Their tasks: first, to control the Zhongshan Bridge; secondly, to land near the cattle store and outflank the people of the cattle store; and destroy them with the city; Gangmura Ningji said,
"Order the 101st Division to continue its march to Nanchang after dawn tomorrow, and naval aviation will resolve the artillery positions of the Chinese people; The 101st Wing of the Field Artillery and the 11th Wing of the Independent Mountain Artillery will arrive in Lehua this evening! Gangmura Ningji thought slowly,
"Order the 106th Division and the Panzer Group to launch an attack on Wanshou Palace early tomorrow morning; The 3rd Flying Regiment bombed from the air, and tomorrow must enter Nanchang! "Gangmura Ningji is like a gambler, he pressed all his chips, and he was cheeky to ask for help from naval aviation!
"Your Excellency Commander, tomorrow the 6th Division can arrive in the Gao'an area, do you want to order the 6th Division to attack!" The staff officer advised,
"No, let the 6th Division be responsible for blocking Gao'an's 74th Army, and the 106th Division and 101st Division must earn honor for themselves, which will be conducive to future operations!" Gangmura Ningji refused;
On the afternoon of March 27, it was as if there was no war breaking out in the entire Nanchang periphery; It seemed peaceful, except that the smoke from the cattle row ruined the beautiful afternoon;
"Commander, why didn't the devil come? Scare away by us? Zhu Shuangquan asked suspiciously on the phone,
"The devil is holding back his big moves, so let the brothers dig the bunker deeper if it's okay; Nanchang is now on the mouth of the devil, and it is impossible for the devil to give up; He Jianye looked at Nanchang on the map and said,
He Jianye put down the phone and looked at the arming around Nanchang; Carefully looking for loopholes!
The phone of the "Ding Ding Ding ......" command rang,
"Commander, Huang Wujun's call!" Adjutant Li said,
"I'm He Jianye, what's the matter?" He Jianye asked,
"Commander, the devil's plane came once this morning and then didn't come again; I guess the devil is holding it back! Huang Wujun said,
"The devils must be holding back, and up to now their infantry has launched two tentative attacks on the cattle line; There's no movement now; What are your thoughts? He Jianye asked,
"Commander, there are still two of our three anti-aircraft artillery battalions left, which is no longer enough to cover the safety of Wanshou Palace, Niuhang and Nanchang at the same time; In order to avoid being broken by the devil's bombers, I suggest that all the anti-aircraft artillery battalions be gathered together and cover our most important places; As for other places, we have air defense battalions, so that the devils don't dare to drop bombs at low altitudes; The effect of the high-altitude bombing of the devils will not be very good! Huang Wujun said,
"Where do you think it should be used?" He Jianye asked,
"Commander, Nanchang City is so big, the devil's plane can be bombed at will at high altitude; In terms of geography and the efficiency of anti-aircraft artillery, both Niu Xing and Wanshou Palace are available; It's just that these two places are now the key attack areas of the devils, and it depends on how the commander decides! Huang Wujun said, the next words are not what Huang Wujun should say;
Wanshou Palace is stuck on the back road of Nanchang, and it is the only way for the devil's armored troops, the devil's armored troops are not easy to expand in the area of Niuxing, there are too many lakes and rivers from Lehua to Niuhang, and the devil's tank is very delicate, and it can't withstand the consumption of the road; Once the devil breaks through the only restricted terrain of Wanshou Palace, the defenders will have no danger to defend, and they can go straight to the Ganjiang Bridge through Xishan and Shibu and enter Nanchang smoothly;
"The 88mm anti-aircraft artillery battalion is all stationed in Wanshou Palace, and it will be deployed overnight tonight!" He Jianye only hesitated for a moment, and then made a happy decision;
Niu Xing can rely on the fortifications to die here, but if it is not good, he can retreat into Nanchang City through the Zhongshan Bridge, but as soon as the Wanshou Palace is lost, the meaning of their street fighting in Nanchang is gone, the wounded cannot be transported, and the logistics materials cannot come in; They die sooner or later like dehydrated fish, and there is no direction to break through!
"Adjutant Li, send electricity to Leng Qi; The first anti-aircraft artillery battalion arrived at Wanshou Palace at night, and so far, Wanshou Palace has six infantry battalions, two anti-aircraft artillery battalions, and two air defense battalions of the Nanchang Garrison Command; Behind the western hill was the last line of defense, where an anti-aircraft battalion and two infantry battalions were deployed; Stone Port leaves you four infantry battalions; That's all the forces you have to defend the Palace of Longevity; Wanshou Palace is here, Nanchang is here! I hope you cherish! He Jianye said,
"The infantry in Shibu was ordered to prepare the twenty-fourth battalion to the twenty-ninth battalion, and move to the new defense overnight! Get ready to support the cow shop! He Jianye then ordered,
