At night, he didn't pay any attention to Jiang Haoran's gaffe, quickly swung the teacup to himself, and said endlessly: "Now in the west, traces of the Japanese army have been discovered, and it is estimated that it may be the 65th Wing of the Japanese Army retreating from Jiujiang, but there are a large number of puppet troops in the middle, and it is likely that the strength has been replenished, and a regiment of the Poyang Lake Independent Brigade and the Fourth Detachment of the New Fourth Army is on the defensive." At the Poyang Lake ferry to the east, there is about a wing of the Japanese army that is building a pontoon bridge, which has been half completed, and it is estimated that it will be completed tonight, and it will be able to cross the lake early tomorrow morning, and the troops defending in the east are the first detachment of the New Fourth Army. On the Yangtze River to the north, there were Japanese naval vessels, nearly 100 ships of various sizes, and the Japanese army had already reached the Yangtze River at 6 o'clock in the afternoon, but fortunately, we had already prepared to deal with the first detachment, and the second detachment of the New Fourth Army had already arrived on the north bank of the Yangtze River, and all of them had already crossed the river before the Japanese arrived. Under the cover of artillery fire, dozens of troop transports began to land as soon as they approached the river, and the first detachment that had been ambushed by the river had already blocked the Japanese army??????"

"What? You soldiers are fighting field battles with the Japanese army in the field? Jiang Haoran swallowed the steamed bun in his mouth in a few bites, and interrupted Wang Shanhu's words with bulging eyes.

"Ah, yes, otherwise wouldn't it be all over to huddle in the city and wait for the Japanese to bomb it? Don't say it, the second detachment of the New Fourth Army is really remarkable, more than 1,000 people withstood the Japanese planes and artillery, and relied on the river to carry a hastily built fortification, and the Japanese landing force was stunned to repulse, and now the Japanese army is still dangling on the river! Wang Shanhu didn't feel anything wrong at all, and said brightly.

"Nonsense! How many casualties were caused in the afternoon? Although Jiang Haoran's face was not good-looking, his tone was not serious, he knew who gave this order, and he could understand his tactics, it was not easy for them to hold Jiujiang for three days, he was trying to figure out how to resist to stop the speed of the Japanese army's march, but Jiujiang City and Heti are a wide open land, and the terrain is not advantageous at all, under such powerful artillery fire from the enemy, the danger of doing so is quite great, and it is easy to lead the front troops to be annihilated, even if the enemy is successful, The casualties caused must also be not small.

Sure enough, Wang Shanhu told Jiang Haoran that after blocking the Japanese army for nearly an hour in the afternoon, there were only about 800 of the 1,500 soldiers left, most of whom died in the bombing.

Jiang Haoran knew that this was only a tentative attack by the Japanese army, and it must be that the troops of the Japanese Marine Corps were not completely in place, and the real attack would not start until tomorrow.

Jiang Haoran immediately ordered Wang Shanhu to withdraw all the troops outside the city and dig anti-artillery holes and bunkers in the city.

Wang Shanhu was still in Rory's bar, saying that he couldn't understand Jiang Haoran's order, and Jiang Haoran immediately yelled at him: "Execute the order!" Suddenly Wang Shanhu's face was flushed, he didn't brag to his subordinates, he still had no scruples in front of Jiang Haoran, and it was all ruined, but he didn't say anything, and hurriedly went out to order the signal corps to convey the order.

When Wang Shanhu came back from issuing an order, Jiang Haoran told Wang Shanhu that De'an's attack was blocked, and it was estimated that he would definitely not be able to support Jiujiang within three days, and the next battle would be extremely difficult, if the troops wanted to successfully hold Jiujiang, and wait until the day when the reinforcements arrived, they must unconditionally carry out their orders, and any small action could lead to the annihilation of the entire army, so remind Wang Shanhu not to disobey Yin Fengyang, of course, his orders are only limited to the campaign itself, and will not be aimed at political issues.

After getting Wang Shanhu's affirmation, Jiang Haoran turned his face to the two New Fourth Army beside him, and it is estimated that they are also the only remaining backbone commanders of the New Fourth Army.

One of the two New Fourth Army is a military staff officer, named Shao Huaiyuan, who graduated from the Baoding Military Academy, is a genuine professional background, has experienced the Long March, and is considered an old party member. When Jiang Haoran questioned that he couldn't draw from a professional background, he told Jiang Haoran that it was not that he couldn't, but that Wang Shanhu and other commanders were not used to it.

The other is named Lu Jian'an, a graduate of the Frunze Military Academy of the USSR and is currently the commander of the fourth detachment.

The two escaped because they happened to be outside to inspect the defenses.

Because the command system was paralyzed and had to be rebuilt immediately, Jiang Haoran immediately appointed Wang Shanhu as the army commander, Yu Xuemin as the political commissar, Shao Huaiyuan as the chief of staff, Lu Jian'an was still the commander of the fourth detachment, and the commander of the first detachment was the famous General Chen, who was commanding the battle at the front at this time.

In fact, Mr. Chen is more suitable for the position of army commander than Wang Shanhu, but Jiang Haoran follows the principle of making up for what is lacking, and the original is basically unchanged.

The appointment and dismissal of the commander of the New Fourth Army must be approved by Yan'an, even if Jiang Haorangui is the commander of the 40th Group Army, he does not have this right, but at this time the situation is special, and all appointments are added with the word "deputy", and the first qiē only waits for the end of the battle, and then the Yan'an side reappoints.

As soon as the command system was established, Jiang Haoran immediately ordered Shao Huaiyuan, acting chief of staff, to transfer a few staff officers from lower-level units to supplement the staff team of the military headquarters, formulate combat plans, draw up maps of urban areas, and make sure that every soldier could be familiar with every street and alley in their combat area, because the next battle would be dominated by street fighting. Only by mixing with the enemy can we avoid the bombardment of aircraft and heavy artillery.

Of course, the headquarters can't be located here, the front is a bloody lesson, the best and safest place is, of course, the tunnel behind the Chunfeng Restaurant, and the role of this tunnel is far more than just being the headquarters, and it can also play a miraculous effect if you make full use of it.

However, Wang Shanhu told that the people who did not have time to transfer were still hiding in the tunnel, because the tunnel was ten miles long, the space was relatively large, and the number of people who took in it was relatively large, estimated to be thousands.

Jiang Haoran frowned, this tunnel is the key to defending the city, accommodating so many ordinary people in it will inevitably cause congestion, and who can guarantee that there will be no Japanese army hidden agents among them, and it is a terrible thing for the command to come to the command at such a critical moment, but he did not accuse them, knowing that in their hearts, the common people are heaven. Just immediately ordered Wang Shanhu to transfer all the ordinary people out, and quickly, he could use the tunnels of the airport to arrange for them to go to Lushan.

While they were doing this, Jiang Haoran took the Snow Wolf special combat team to the Yangtze River, and he always had a question in his heart, where did the Japanese planes come from, could it be that the Japanese army also drove aircraft carriers into the Yangtze River?
