The Japanese 11th Army began to form a tank cluster, which obviously indicated that Okamura Ninji intended to concentrate on the use of tank units in the next operation. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

At this time, the newly formed 1st Division, which was resting in Fuzhou, also began to usher in their first test.

On January 5, 1939, the Military Commission sent a review officer to Fuzhou, Jiangxi Province, to review all units of the newly formed First Division.

The first to be reviewed were the troops of the Fifth Armored Brigade, and the division commander Sun Weiguo and political commissar Shen Wei accompanied the military commission review officers to conduct the review.

In the course of the review, the troops of the Fifth Armored Brigade conducted tactical subjects such as infantry and tank joint combat drills, infantry and artillery joint attack drills, and tank assault drills.

For one day, the 5th Armored Brigade showed its training results to the military committee reviewers.

The lieutenant general of the Military Commission rated the 5th Armored Brigade with excellent results, and said with emotion: "This is the most offensive unit I have ever seen since I became the reviewer. ”

For five consecutive days, the units of the newly formed First Division were reviewed one by one, and after the review was completed, each unit was rated as having excellent results.

When the military commission's reviewer left the new 1st Division, he commented that the new 1st Division was able to attack and defend well, and the new 1st Regiment was the best.

At the end of the five-day review, the newly formed 1st Division continued to devote itself to active training.

So far, the newly formed 1st Division has basically stabilized, the unit is fully staffed, and the weapons and ammunition are abundant, and the only drawback is that the unit has not experienced the test of war, and this point cannot be met no matter how much training is conducted.

Sun Weiguo and Zhao Lerong also studied the offensive route of the Japanese troops, and they simulated the offensive tactics and routes that the Japanese army was very likely to perform.

In Fuzhou County, Sun Weiguo and Liu Qian, who were dressed in civilian clothes, rarely got together, they have been married for more than two months, but they have very little time together.

Today, it is rare for Sun Weiguo and Liu Qian to rest at the same time, so the two of them came to Fuzhou County to go shopping.

It is the nature of women to love to buy things, even if it is a woman in this era, Liu Qian came to the county seat, she looked around from time to time, and a smile appeared on her face.

"Buy what you like." When Liu Qian saw a pair of bracelets, she stopped in her footsteps, and Sun Weiguo stood behind her and whispered.

"Forget it, it's going to get in the way." Liu Qian shook her head slightly.

Sun Weiguo's military salary is okay, but most of Sun Weiguo's military salary is subsidized to the army, don't look at Sun Weiguo is now the division commander, but he doesn't have much money.

Moreover, this is still the situation where the new First Division sends three times the military salary, and if the troops of the new First Division are paid national hardship salaries like other troops, I am afraid that Sun Weiguo's food will be a problem.

Liu Qian began to walk towards the front, but Sun Weiguo deliberately took a step slowly, and after asking the boss about the price of the bracelet, Sun Weiguo bought it directly.

He could see that Liu Qian liked this bracelet very much.

The two of them walked around the county until noon, and Liu Qian didn't ask for anything except for buying bracelets.

Originally, Sun Weiguo planned to take Liu Qian to the county restaurant for lunch, but Liu Qian insisted on buying vegetables and going home to do it.

For Liu Qian's request, Sun Weiguo did not refuse, he agreed directly, and Sun Weiguo personally made a hearty lunch for Liu Qian.

The day passed quickly, and Liu Qian did not return to the field hospital in the evening, and the two of them sat in the courtyard and admired the moon together.

In this era, there are no entertainment appliances such as televisions, but Sun Weiguo took Liu Qian's right hand and talked while admiring the moon, which is also a good feeling.

This night Sun Weiguo and Liu Qian rarely lived together, and this night was naturally another happy night for them.

In February 1939, Japanese troops began to move secretly, and at this time, the Ninth Theater of Operations, which was in confrontation with the Japanese 11th Army, began to be aware.

Moreover, according to the intelligence of all parties and Sun Weiguo's previous prediction, the Military Commission sent a telegram to the Ninth Theater to inform the Japanese army that it was very likely that it would attack Nanchang soon.

At the same time, the chairman of the committee also had great ambitions; after the Japanese 11th Army captured Wuhan, they were in the encirclement of the ninth and fifth theaters, and the chairman hoped that the ninth theater would launch an attack in advance to respond to the Japanese army's attack on Nanchang and take the Japanese army by surprise.

On 15 February, the 101st Division, the 106th Division, and the attached artillery began to assemble in the area south of De'an, and the tank group was assembled north of De'an.

On 17 February, Xue Yue, commander of the Ninth Theater, began to issue orders to generals and officers at and above the army level of the Ninth Theater, and Xue Yue demanded that these generals of the army rank immediately go to Chenzhou, Hunan Province to attend an operational meeting held by the headquarters of the commander of the Ninth Theater.

Originally, Sun Weiguo, the division commander, was not qualified to participate in this combat meeting, but Xue Yue specially called Sun Weiguo this time.

After Sun Weiguo received a telegram from the Commander of the Ninth Theater, he immediately began to take a car to the Ninth Theater Commander's Exhibition Hall.

On 20 February, the Ninth Theater held an operational meeting in Chenzhou, attended by officers and officers of the Ninth Theater's combat unit.

At present, the Ninth Theater has four group armies, including the First Army of Lu Han, the 19th Army of Luo Zhuoying, the 30th Army of Wang Lingji, and the 31st Army of Tang Enbo.

For a time, here in the headquarters of the commander of the Ninth Theater, it can be said that there are many stars, and it is difficult for the generals here to see the rank of major general, most of them are lieutenant generals.

The operational meeting was chaired by Zhao Zili, chief of the Ninth Theater Staff Office, and the content of the meeting was how to carry out the attack.

After the meeting began, Xue Yue first made a short speech, and his eyes looked towards the map from time to time.

The Ninth Theater has four group armies, including the army-level units directly under the theater, and the Ninth Theater has 16 armies, including the 18th Army, the 52nd Army, and the 74th Army.

However, the Ninth Theater fought very badly in the Battle of Wuhan, especially when it was fighting with the Japanese 106th Division, although the troops of the Ninth Theater almost wiped out the Japanese 106th Division, they suffered heavy casualties, and many troops are still in the process of reorganization.

The chairman of the committee asked the Ninth Theater to launch an attack on the Japanese troops, but from Xue Yue alone, he did not support much.

"The Military Commission judged that the Japanese army was very likely to launch an attack on Nanchang in the near future, and the chairman ordered the Ninth Theater to immediately strike first to preempt the enemy and turn to the offensive in order to ensure the liaison line between Nanchang and its rear, so as to destroy the enemy's attempt. Preparations for the attack should be completed by 10 March, and the scheduled start date for the attack is 15 March. Zhao Zili began to convey the chairman's order.
