The troops of the 36th Brigade of the 6th Division of the Japanese Army crossed the Xiushui River, and the flank of the 30th Group Army stationed in the vicinity of Wuning County was in danger, while for the troops of the 36th Division, if they went south, they could easily rush to Jing'an County, and if they advanced eastward, they could quickly enter Yongxiu County to fight.

When Luo Zhuoying got the news, he realized that the flanks of the 32nd Army and the 70th Army stationed in Yongxiu County were completely exposed to the Japanese attack, Luo Zhuoying did not hesitate, and he immediately began to give the order to retreat.

According to Luo Zhuoying's estimate, at this time, the troops of the 32nd Army and the 70th Army had no ability to resist the Japanese reinforcements, and he wanted to pull his troops to Jing'an County and Anyi County to rebuild fortifications and resist the attack of Japanese troops.

With the Japanese 101st Division and other units breaking through to Jing'an County from the flank, the flank of the Chinese troops in Yongxiu County completely lost the barrier, and now the Japanese 36 Brigade and Regiment troops appeared on the flank of Yongxiu County, the situation is naturally dangerous, but Luo Zhuoying gave the order to retreat, but did not fully take into account the current situation.

Chinese troops often behaved well in defensive operations, and even some units engaged in a prolonged confrontation with the Japanese in defense.

However, as soon as the troops began to withdraw, the Chinese troops began to be chaotic, and the troops were completely out of control, and it was difficult to form an orderly withdrawal.

The 32nd Army was a Jinsui Army, while the 70th Army was a Hunan Army, and the troops of two different factions joined forces to fight against the Japanese troops, and they were still desperate.

However, when it comes to evacuation, who will stay behind as cover is a difficult problem.

When Luo Zhuoying's retreat order began to be issued, the troops of the 32nd Army and the 70th Army quickly withdrew from their positions, and they quickly withdrew towards the area of Anyi County.

There was confusion in the retreat of the two divisions, and the officers and men scrambled to leave the battlefield, and they all knew that those who remained at the rear would definitely become cannon fodder.

The crossing of the Xiushui River by the 36th Brigade of the Japanese Army had a great impact on the Chinese troops, who were originally at a disadvantage in the overall situation, and at this time they became even more critical.

The mass withdrawal of the troops of the 32nd and 70th armies began, which was an excellent opportunity for the units of the 106th division of the Japanese army.

However, the commander of the 106th Division, Junroku Matsuura, did not order his troops to pursue the evacuated troops of the 32nd Army and the 70th Army, and he ordered the main force of the troops to quickly advance towards Wucheng City.

At half past three o'clock in the afternoon of March 22, 1939, the front headquarters of the Japanese 11th Army began to issue orders, Okamura Ninji ordered the main force of the 6th Division to contain the 30th Group Army in Wuning County, the 106th Division was attached to the 36th Brigade to rescue the Ishihara Detachment, the 101st Division and the tank cluster and the Gaoqiao Detachment made every effort to clear the Chinese troops in Jing'an County and Anyi County.

Xue Yue, commander of the Ninth Theater, made targeted arrangements, and Xue Yue took the initiative to dispatch a section of the 31st Group Army to rush to the aid of the Jiangxi battlefield.

Taking into account the combat effectiveness of the Japanese Sixth Division, Xue Yue strengthened the Eighth Army and the 73rd Army to the 30th Group Army, so that the 30th Group Army would have the strength of the 72nd Army (Sichuan Army), the 73rd Army (Central Army), the 78th Army (Sichuan Army), and the Eighth Army (Central Army).

The first group army of Luhan, Luo Zhuoying's 19th Group Army, the two group armies deployed defense lines in Jing'an County and Anyi County to resist the attack of Japanese troops, and the theater directly under the 74th Army, the new first division, and the 19th Army 79th Army and the 98th Division of the 19th Army gathered in Nanchang for defense, and the new first division and the 98th division were temporarily assigned to the 74th Army and were under the command of army commander Yu Jishi.

At the same time, Okamura and Xue Yue made targeted arrangements according to the battlefield situation, but at present, the Chinese and Japanese troops have not yet entered the designated positions of Xue Yue and Okamura Ningji.

The troops of the 36th Brigade of the Japanese Army were still rapidly marching towards Yongxiu County, and the troops of the newly formed 1st Division and the 142nd Division were still fighting fiercely with the Japanese Ishihara Detachment in Wucheng Town.

The troops of the 106th Division of the Japanese Army were rapidly advancing towards Kure Town, and they were planning to rescue the Ishihara detachment.

Okamura Ninji knew very well that the life and death of the Ishihara detachment in Wucheng Town had a great impact on this operation, and he wanted to keep the Ishihara detachment at all costs.

However, the Ninth Theater completely abandoned the battle plan of encircling and annihilating the Ishihara Detachment, and Xue Yue directly issued an operational order to the headquarters of the new 1st Division, and Xue Yue asked the new 1st Division and the 142nd Division to quickly disengage from contact with the Japanese army and quickly evacuate Yongxiu County.

Xue Yue had his own ideas, the 19th Group Army had four corps, and the First Group Army had two corps, and he deployed six corps in Jing'an County and Anyi County to resist the attack of the Japanese troops, and these six armies were to attack the Japanese troops as much as possible in Anyi County and Jing'an County, and when these six armies were unable to defend, these six armies quickly withdrew and let the Japanese troops enter Nanchang.

Here in Nanchang, there are the most elite 74th Army, the new 1st Division and other units stationed, these troops can hold on for a period of time, taking advantage of this time, the 19th Army and the 1st Army units can take a short rest, and wait until the reinforcements of the 3rd Theater arrive, the troops are quickly counterattacking the Japanese army.

Xue Yue is an excellent commander, and the feasibility of this plan is very high, and in the current situation, this battle plan is undoubtedly the best.

I don't know what the reason is, when Xue Yue gave the evacuation order to the troops of the new 1st Division, Xue Yue specifically revealed the importance of the new 1st Division's rapid return to Nanchang.

When Sun Weiguo received this telegram, he was holding a bayonet and stabbing the little devil.

At this time, the 3rd Infantry Brigade and the 4th Infantry Brigade of the Ishihara Detachment of the Japanese Army, which penetrated deep into the deep zone, had less than 200 combat personnel, and Sun Weiguo was encircling and annihilating this Japanese army.

After receiving the telegram from Xue Yue, Sun Weiguo looked at it carefully, and he understood Xue Yue's intentions.

"Division Commander Sun, the troops of the 32nd Army and the 70th Army have begun to evacuate Yongxiu County, let's evacuate according to the plan, now the little devils will definitely be crazy to reinforce here, there are only two narrow roads behind us to evacuate, once the little devils block these two roads, we will have no chance to evacuate."

When Sun Weiguo was checking the telegram, Commander Fu Liping of the 142nd Division said with an anxious face.

When the Chinese troops withdraw, there will be chaos, and the troops left behind will often be bitten by the Japanese army, once they are bitten by the Japanese army in such a situation, the fate of this force can only be completely annihilated, because the main force of chaos is simply impossible to draw troops to reinforce.

Fu Liping knew this very well, so he came to Sun Weiguo's side, and he hoped that Sun Weiguo could quickly arrange for the troops to evacuate.

At this time, the 3rd Infantry Brigade and the 4th Infantry Brigade were completely annihilated, the Japanese Marines were suppressed on the shore, and the more than 800 marines were left with less than 600 people, and the three infantry brigades of the main force of the Ishihara Detachment were intercepted north of Wucheng Town, and the main force of the Ishihara Detachment was also heavily damaged, and now is a good time to completely annihilate them.

Sun Weiguo was unwilling to miss this opportunity, even if Xue Yue personally gave the evacuation order to the new first division. (To be continued.) )
