Although the Leishui River is not very wide, but because the water flow is relatively fast, it has caused a lot of trouble for small fishing boats to cross the river to transport troops and supplies, and it is not a good thing to have a big business, at least the flexibility of the troops is much worse than that of small-scale troops, if it was the original Fu Zhiyong when he was the battalion commander, hundreds of people traveled lightly, it is estimated that at this time, I don't know how far I have run out of Leishui, and I can slowly consume it here. [Full text reading. 】

"Hey......" As soon as Yan Fugui heard that Fu Zhiyong didn't agree with him to take someone up, the emotions that had just been mobilized suddenly wilted again, and he sighed and stopped talking nonsense, because Yan Fugui knew that since Fu Zhiyong had already made a decision, it would be useless for him to wear out his mouth.

"What about the situation on the other side of the river? Nothing happens, right? Fu Zhiyong glanced at Yan Fugui's expression, and the little caution in Yan Fugui's heart suddenly became clear, and he didn't say anything more on this issue at the moment, but continued to ask Yan Fugui about the situation on the other side of the river.

Leishui can now be said to be a dividing line between the main forces of China and Japan, most of the area east of Leishui has been occupied by the Japanese army, and the west of Leishui Hengyang, Hengnan and other important towns are under the heavy control of the first army, although there are four or five divisions east of Leishui holding on to the last defensive area, but this point of strength has not posed much threat to the Japanese army, and retreat is only a matter of time The strength of these four or five divisions had to defend a dozen important areas and a large area of hundreds of villages and towns, and once these forces were dispersed, there would really not be much.

Now the control area of the ** army east of Leishui is focused on Pingxiang, and the defensive positions along the line extend all the way to the south, forming a half-moon-shaped defense system, You, Lianhua, Yongxin, Tuling, Anren, Yanling, Bixi and other counties are the defense range of the Pingxiang garrison troops, but this defense range is already the control area of Fu Zhiyong when they set off from Chongqing, and now the three counties of Lianhua, Yongxin and Bixi have been captured by the Japanese army, and now they are under the control of the little devils.

The area north of Pingxiang is built by the defense forces of Xiangtan and Zhuzhou, and the two important towns of Xiangtan and Zhuzhou are also the favorable support and rear of Pingxiang at the forefront, just like two pillars firmly supporting the entire defense system in Pingxiang.

Pingxiang originally only played a role as a small material transfer station in the entire defense system of Changsha, but as the main force of the Japanese army moved south to capture Ji'an, the two peripheral defense towns of Yichun and Xinyu east of Pingxiang were completely horizontal in front of the Japanese offensive line.

If the Japanese army wants to complete a campaign policy and a strategic policy of encircling Changsha and dividing troops to the south to attack Guangdong, then it is necessary to capture Ji'an, and use Ji'an as a rear transit station to implement the next offensive plan, so the two towns of Yichun and Xinyu have become the targets that the Japanese army must take, although the ** troops have invested nine divisions in these two important towns, but they still only held on for less than a month before the Japanese broke through a defensive gap, and then the Japanese infantry quickly interspersed from the two flanks of this gap, It took less than three days to completely disrupt the defensive formation of the ** troops, and the successive routs of the troops became a natural thing, after the war, the casualties of the ** troops during this period in Yichun and Xinyu totaled more than 14,000 people, and there were nearly 7,000 troops missing, and it was very likely that they ran into the vast mountains when they were defeated, and nearly three and a half divisions of the nine divisions participating in the battle were filled in.

The reason why the Japanese army wants to die in Ji'an, this is mainly because the strategic location of Ji'an is very important, and it is also irreplaceable by other cities in Jiangxi, those who know a little geography know that the topography of Hunan, Jiangxi, Guangdong, Guangxi and other southern provinces is mostly mountainous, and the traffic is greatly limited by geography, and the location of Ji'an is almost in the middle of Jiangxi Province from the map, and Ji'an can easily divide the entire Jiangxi Province into two. It can play an irreplaceable decisive role in the area controlled by the Japanese army in the northern part of Jiangxi.

In fact, there are only a handful of large cities in Jiangxi Province that can be relied on as a rear, Jiujiang is counted as one, and the water and land transportation is very developed, and it is the advance base for the Japanese army to attack Hunan and Hubei, and Nanchang is counted as one, and the geographical location, population size and transportation are very developed, which can meet the needs of the Japanese army, but this is a major premise, that is, relying on these two important towns, the Japanese army's offensive direction can only choose to attack westward, and it is impossible to send troops from Jiangxi to directly attack Guangdong and Guangxi provinces. This is mainly due to the geographical terrain.

The first is because of the limitations of the geographical environment, the Japanese army's mechanized troops can not play a role at all, but it is easy to become a drag on the infantry troops, the sheep intestine gravel trail between the mountains is not only heavy artillery can not pull through, but the Japanese army's armored vehicles and tanks are also struggling, not to mention changing tracks for more than ten or twenty kilometers, refueling has become a big problem, and from time to time it will be ambushed by the armed ambushes of the Chinese people, and you can't hit it. There is nowhere to run, so you can only rely on a body of armor to resist, once the chariot is damaged, a lot of infantry will be left in place to guard the defense, to prevent the Chinese ** people from further attack, and completely blow it up into scrap metal.

The second is the problem of transportation and provisions, in fact, the ratio of pack horses in the Japanese troops is still very high, which can greatly shorten the time of supply and consumption along the way, but in the mountains it is a little difficult to play, because the physical consumption of pack horses over the mountains and mountains is multiplied, and the supply cycle is also virtually expanded several times, the infantry unit is originally relying on the soles of the feet to fight over the mountains and mountains, the consumption and fatigue are very large, you don't let the family get the supply in time, it is estimated that even if the Japanese bushido spirit is effective, When the troops arrived in Guangdong, they were tired and bone-ty, and they fought a fart battle.

The third is that the offensive route of the troops is too long, that is, it is like playing in the mountains and rivers along the way without being ambushed by the squadron, and it will take more than two months to walk to Guangdong.

Therefore, from the above situation, Ji'an must be taken by the Japanese army, and there must be enough troops to be able to hold it, otherwise it is a matter of pulling calves to attack the Liangguang area on both sides.

"There is no situation, the troops who crossed the river reported that they did not find the troops of the little devils, even the troops of our country did not see them, and now the materials and the main force are assembled on the opposite side of the Golden Purple Beach, Yu Hua is on the defensive with the main force of the second battalion, and two companies of vigilant troops have been sent all the way to the vicinity of Yangliutang, ten miles south of Jinzitan, and all the way north to the vicinity of Shunyuantang to reconnoiter and guard." Yan Fugui immediately shook his head at Fu Zhiyong and said, then took out a hastily drawn map, and found one of the maps that had just been sent back from the east bank of Leishui and explained to Fu Zhiyong.
