Sun Weiguo has a general understanding of this history, after the Battle of Wuhan, the Japanese 11th Army began to take a short break, and then began to attack Nanchang, the capital of Jiangxi Province. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

But what Sun Weiguo didn't know was that after the Battle of Wuhan, after the planned withdrawal of China's main forces from Wuhan, nearly 90 divisions of troops were still deployed around Wuhan.

To the west and north of Wuhan are the 34 infantry divisions of the 13 armies of the six group armies of the Fifth Theater under Li Zongren's command, as well as one cavalry division and one cavalry brigade, which are deployed in the vast areas of western Anhui, southern Henan, southern Hunan, and northwestern Hubei.

To the south and east of Wuhan are the 52 infantry divisions of the 21st Army of the 8th = Group Army of the Ninth Theater of Xue Yue's Division, deployed in the key areas of northwest Jiangxi, southern Hunan, and Hunan.

In addition, there are a number of special forces and local guerrilla units in the two theaters. The above forces constitute an encirclement posture against Wuhan. To the east of the Ninth Theater of Operations, there are 22 infantry divisions and two infantry brigades of the four group armies of the Third Theater under Gu Zhutong's command, which can respond to each other with the Ninth Theater.

Wuhan was captured by the little devils, but there were nearly 90 Chinese divisions near Wuhan, and the Japanese troops would definitely take action.

Sun Weiguo did not know the specific strength of each theater, but the chairman was very clear, hearing Sun Weiguo's words, the chairman nodded with satisfaction, Sun Weiguo was able to perceive this, in the chairman's view, Sun Weiguo has a certain strategic vision.

And when Sun Weiguo dropped the baton on Nanchang, the capital of Jiangxi Province, everyone not only showed puzzled expressions on their faces, they didn't know what Sun Weiguo's intentions were.

"Division Commander Sun, do you mean that the Japanese 11th Army will attack Nanchang?" A man in the uniform of a second-class army general immediately asked.

This second-class general of the army is Bai Chongxi, deputy chief of staff of the Central Military Commission, Bai Chongxi is one of the leaders of the Gui Army, known as Xiao Zhuge and has a unique vision in strategy.

Sun Weiguo's words were agreed by Bai Chongxi, and when Sun Weiguo introduced the situation, Bai Chongxi nodded again and again.

"Wei Guo, this is Deputy Chief of Staff Bai." Vice Minister Zhou immediately made a briefing.

Sun Weiguo nodded towards Bai Chongxi, and he continued: "Nanchang is the capital of Jiangxi Province, and it is the intersection point of the Nanxun Railway and the Zhejiang-Jiangxi Railway, and the hub of the rear liaison line and supply line of China's Ninth and Third Theaters, and has an important strategic position, and Nanchang Airport can be used as our air base, and the air force planes take off from here to pose an air attack on the Chinese and Japanese naval ships in the waters of the Yangtze River near Jiujiang and the logistics supply line of Wuhan in Jiujiang, so once the Japanese 11th Army is rested, it will inevitably strike at Nanchang. ”

"Jiansheng, what do you think?" When the chairman heard Sun Weiguo's analysis, his eyes immediately looked at Bai Chongxi, Bai Chongxi, the word Jiansheng.

"Commission, Commander Sun's analysis is very reasonable, in order to stabilize the Wuhan occupation area and strike at the living forces at the same time, they are very likely to launch an attack on Nanchang. As long as the Japanese army captures Nanchang, then the connection between the 9th Theater and the 3rd Theater will naturally be severed, which is of great interest to the 11th Army of the Japanese Army. ”

Bai Chongxi looked at the chairman of the committee, and he said with a solemn expression.

When the chairman heard Bai Chongxi's analysis, he nodded one after another, and then he looked at another man wearing the uniform of a first-class army general.

From now on, the new First Division will be assigned to the Ninth Theater Operational Sequence, and the new First Division will be directly under the Ninth Theater Commander's Headquarters. ”
