The Ninth Theater has the mission of guarding the capital of Chongqing, while the troops of the Ninth Theater are engaged in a large-scale confrontation with the troops of the 11th Army of the Japanese Army. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
In terms of the overall situation, the Chinese military has an advantage, but this advantage is only a numerical advantage.
You must know that even in the era of cold weapons, a large number of people does not necessarily win a battle, but in the era of hot weapons, the number of people is no longer an important factor in victory.
The Japanese had the advantage of weapons and the help of aircraft and ships, and even if they were ridiculed as toy tanks, they would still cause great damage to the Chinese troops.
The main reason is that China is too backward, this ancient and closed country needs time to take off, but the Japanese army will not give China this chance, and the Chinese troops want to keep the country, want to keep the nation, can only fight to the death.
To what extent are the Chinese troops backward, take the troops of the Ninth Theater as an example, the Ninth Theater can be said to be the most important theater of mission, if the Ninth Theater all falls, then Chongqing will become the capital of the Japanese army, for this reason, in the future, the 18th Army, the 74th Army, two of the five main forces of the National Revolutionary Army, will be assigned to the Ninth Theater, and the elite 13th Army, 52nd Army, 92nd Army and other troops of the Central Army will gather here.
However, in such the most important theater of operations, the only artillery unit that can show its hands is a mobile artillery regiment directly under the theater command, and this artillery regiment has more than 30 artillery pieces, which is far less than the number of artillery pieces of an artillery wing of a division and regiment of the Japanese army.
The weapons and equipment are backward and the quality of the soldiers is low, and this is a huge gap between China and Japan.
The Japanese 101st Division and the 106th Division undertook the task of attacking Nanchang in the Battle of Wuhan, but at that time, Xue Yue led the troops to knock out their own teeth, so the 101st Division was severely damaged, and almost all the 106th Division was annihilated.
However, after the Battle of Wuhan, the Japanese army relied on its military service system and perfect military industrial system, and the troops of the 101st and 106th divisions were quickly reorganized.
This time, Okamura Ninji asked the 101st Division and the 106th Division to resume the main combat mission of attacking Nanchang, which was to give them a chance to be ashamed.
The two divisions of the Japanese army, which had been heavily damaged, were recuperated after a short period of several months, while many of the Chinese troops did not reach full strength.
According to this situation, Xue Yue could only defend, and he knew how many hole cards he had in his hand.
Xue Yue's battle plan was to send a strong force to garrison the south bank of the Tianwei Xiushui River, of course, Xue Yue also knew that with the Japanese army's attack capability, it was impossible to resist the Japanese army with the Tianwei Xiushui River, and Xue Yue's goal in guarding the Xiushui River was to kill and injure a large number of Japanese troops, and the decisive battle place of the Chinese troops was not here.
After the Japanese army broke through the Xiushui River, the Japanese army chose to have three roads, east, west and south, the east is the Panyang Lake area, which is a lake and marsh area, and the Japanese troops will naturally not choose to march from here, and the west is a complex mountainous area, and the Japanese army cannot march from here.
Therefore, Xue Yue judged that after the Japanese army broke through the defense line of the Xiushui River, they would definitely go south from the first line of Yongxiu County in the central part of the country, which was relatively flat in this generation, but there were also many lakes and marshes, so the Ninth Theater gathered the second-line troops in Anyi County in the southwest corner of Yongxiu County, and used the lakes and marshes of this generation to fight a decisive battle with the Japanese army and block the Japanese army.
The last point of Xue Yue's battle plan was that when the Japanese troops attacked the defense line of the Xiushui River, they should quickly determine the direction of the Japanese army's main attack, and once they detected the main direction of the Japanese army's attack, the troops deployed in the northern part of Jiangxi and Hunan in the Ninth Theater should quickly advance to this place, and concentrate their forces to annihilate the Japanese army in the area of Yongxiu County and Anyi County.
Its specific deployment was that Luo Zhuoying's 19th Group Army defended the Nanchang area, its main force was stationed in the Xiushui River, Wang Lingji's 30th Group Army was stationed in the upper reaches of the Xiushui River in the Wuning area, and the Luhan First Army suffered heavy casualties in the Battle of Wuhan, so it rested and recuperated in the Shanggao area in northern Jiangxi and served as a reserve.
At the same time, the 74th Army directly under the theater also served as a reserve, and the 74th Army also suffered heavy casualties in the Battle of Wuhan, and is currently resting in Hunan.
"Division Commander Sun, once the Japanese army breaks through the defense line of the Xiushui River and the main force advances to Yongxiu County, the troops of the newly formed First Division will rush from Fuzhou to Nanchang to participate in the battle in the shortest possible time, and your division must cooperate with the 19th Group Army to stabilize the second-line defensive position, wait for reinforcements from the 30th Group Army, the First Group Army and other units, and work together to annihilate all the Japanese troops."
After finishing talking about his battle plan, Xue Yue took the baton and knocked on the location of Fuzhou on the map, and at the same time he looked at Sun Weiguo in a serious tone and said.
Xue Yue knew very well that the troops of the 19th Group Army were sticking to the defense line of Xiushuihe, and once the Japanese army broke through the defense line of the 19th Group Army, then the 19th Army would definitely have a short period of chaos, so he used Sun Weiguo's troops as the main force to block the momentum of the Japanese attack at a critical time and wait for the arrival of friendly forces.
Xue Yue's plan was perfect, it would take time for the Japanese army to fight from the Xiushui River to Nanchang here, and it was very likely that the rest of the troops would arrive in the combat area before the Japanese troops entered Nanchang, which was very accurate in Xue Yue's judgment, which also showed that Xue Yue had a high degree of understanding of the Japanese troops and his own troops.
But Sun Weiguo knew that in this Nanchang operation, Okamura Ningji used new tactics, and this old devil used tanks intensively.
Xue Yue calculated the advance speed of the Japanese infantry, and he responded to the battle according to the advance speed of the Japanese infantry, and it was possible for the First Army and the 30th Army and other units to rush to the combat area before the Japanese infantry advanced to Nanchang.
However, the main force of the Japanese attack this time was the tank troops, and the tank troops marched several times faster than the infantry, and the Chinese troops could never outrun the Japanese army's tracks on their two legs.
Of course, Xue Yue would never have expected this, knowing that when the Germans used tanks to attack Poland, it was still in September 1939, and there were still seven months before February 1939, and the Battle of France, which made the blitzkrieg shine, was still more than a year away.
Xue Yue would not have thought of this, but Sun Weiguo knew this very well.
At this time, when Xue Yue finished talking about his battle plan, Sun Weiguo had a strange expression on his face.
He knew that if he was silent at this time, then the Nanchang operation would definitely end in the defeat of the Chinese troops.
"Chief Xue, if the Japanese troops advance quickly to Nanchang before the friendly troops arrive, how should we react, and the Japanese troops are likely to mobilize other troops to contain the 30th Group Army, the First Group Army and other units."
Sun Weiguo stood up, his eyes looked at Xue Yue, and a serious expression appeared on his face.
Judging from Xue Yue's battle plan, Sun Weiguo knew that he didn't look at the Japanese attack plan that he and Zhao Lerong had worked so hard to simulate.
