The tank units of China and Japan fought a fierce battle in Gaokou Village, Jing'an County, and the two sides lost dozens of tanks and armored vehicles, and the Japanese troops withdrew from the battlefield under the cover of aviation, while the troops of the 1st Armored Battle Group could only disperse and conceal to avoid bombing by Japanese aviation.

At 7 o'clock in the afternoon of March 21, the Japanese 101st Division and the Takahashi Detachment joined forces to repel the 2nd attack of the 49th Army and the 79th Army, and the 101st Brigade under the 101st Division captured the county seat of Jing'an County under the leadership of Major General Shozaburo Sato, the commander of the Major General Brigade.

The Japanese troops made plans to hold the county seat, and the troops of the 49th Army and the 79th Army launched exploratory attacks on the county seat of Jing'an County, and both attacks were repelled by the Japanese troops.

Although the troops of the 49th Army and the 79th Army besieged the Japanese troops in the county seat of Jing'an County, this was only a superficial phenomenon, the Japanese army had a division and a brigade of troops, and there were more than 100 chariot troops, and the four and seven ninth armies and five divisions of the 49th Army and the 79th Army had less than 40,000 troops, and they could not form an encirclement posture against the Japanese army at all.

The Japanese troops were stationed in the county seat of Jing'an County, and they simply wanted to rest and recuperate, so as to adjust their new tactics.

The commander of the 101st Division, Saito Yahei, immediately began to contact the headquarters of the 11th Army on the front line through the radio, and Saito Yahei gave a detailed report on the situation encountered in Jing'an County.

The presence of two Chinese armies here did not make Saito Yahei feel much of a threat, but what worried Saito Yahei the most was that China's most elite Sun Weiguo armored unit appeared in Jing'an County, and the chariot cluster fought against it in a disastrous defeat.

Although Saito Yahei's troops were equipped with a certain number of anti-tank guns, Saito Yahei was a little nervous when facing Sun Weiguo's armored troops for the first time.

And on the north bank of the Xiushui River, in the front headquarters of the 11th Army of the Japanese Army.

After Okamura Ninji received the message from Yahei Saito, he immediately called Chief of Staff Sadaichi Yoshimoto and Chief of Staff Miyazaki Monday to his side, and he began to consult with them.

The concentrated use of chariot troops was Miyazaki's opinion, the chariot troops did a good job from crossing the Xiushui River, they had quickly advanced to Jing'an County, and now as long as the chariot troops eliminated Sun Weiguo's armored troops, they could easily go to Nanchang.

Moreover, at this time, the 101st Division and other units of the Japanese Army had already detoured to the rear of the flank of the Chinese troops in Yongxiu County, and this Japanese army turned around and was able to cooperate with the troops of the 106th Division to flank the Chinese troops stationed in Yongxiu County.

Okamura Ninji planned the Nanchang operation from the beginning, and his idea was not to annihilate how many Chinese troops he wanted, he just wanted to quickly occupy Nanchang.

However, judging from the current situation, the Japanese troops have achieved an overall strategic advantage, and as long as the Japanese troops in Jing'an County take action, the Chinese troops of the 19th Group Army, which is currently the most effective in Jiangxi, will be severely damaged by the Japanese army.

In the face of such an attractive record, Okamura Ningji was naturally moved, but he knew that if the Japanese troops in Jing'an County wanted to move freely, they had to deal with Sun Weiguo's armored troops first.

"Your Excellency Commander, the Third Flying Regiment has all rushed to Jing'an County to participate in the battle, we will use aviation to strike at the armored forces of China, the Third Flight Regiment will fully cooperate with the tank cluster operation, and the troops of the Sixth Brigade of the Heavy Artillery have begun to move forward, and by the early hours of tomorrow at the latest, the heavy artillery units will be able to attack the troops of Yongxiu County, so I suggest that we concentrate our troops first and eat the troops stationed in Yongxiu County."

Yoshimoto Sadachi stared at the map for a while, he pointed to Yongxiu County, and said in a solemn tone.

The Japanese 101st Division, the Takahashi Detachment, and the tank cluster have already made a detour from the left side of Yongxiu County, and the defenders of Yongxiu County have begun to fall into isolation.

The troops of the 106th Division were intercepted by the troops of the 32nd Army and the 70th Army, this was because they lacked heavy artillery support, but more than 200 heavy artillery pieces of the 6th Brigade of the Japanese Heavy Artillery began to move their positions, and they were soon able to directly carry out artillery bombardment on the Chinese positions in Yongxiu County.

And what Yoshimoto Sadaichi wants now is not only for the 106th Division to defeat the Chinese troops in Yongxiu County, he wants to eat all the Chinese troops in Yongxiu County.

"The troops of the 101st Division contain the troops of Jing'an County, the 3rd Flying Regiment covers the tank cluster and the Gaoqiao Detachment quickly advances east of Anyi County, as long as the tank troops enter Anyi County, then Nanchang will be exposed to our troops, and the troops of the China will definitely concentrate their forces to garrison Nanchang, but the chariot troops and the Gaoqiao Detachment will not attack Nanchang, they will go north along the highway and cooperate with the troops of the 106th Division to flank the Yongxiu County Zhina troops."

Miyazaki looked at the map on Monday, and then he gave his opinion.

To the east of Jing'an County is Anyi County, and to the north of Anyi County is Yongxiu County, and to the south is Nanchang.

The Japanese troops captured Anyi County, Nanchang was exposed under the noses of the Japanese army, Anyi County can be described as the north gate of Nanchang, Anyi County was lost, according to the practice of the Chinese troops, the troops must concentrate their forces to garrison Nanchang, but the Japanese troops will not attack Nanchang, directly north to attack Yongxiu County, which will definitely catch the Chinese troops off guard.

Miyazaki's plan on Monday was perfect, the chariot cluster was advancing quickly, and by the time the Chinese troops found out that the Japanese chariot unit was attacking Yongxiu County, they would be too late to react.

Of course, the Japanese troops will be concerned about Sun Weiguo's armored forces, and they will use dozens of fighters and bombers of the 3rd Flying Regiment to cover the movement of combat vehicles in clusters and strike at the Chinese armored forces.

"Ordered the 101st Division to launch an attack on the troops in Jing'an County, the Gaoqiao Detachment, and the chariot cluster immediately went to Anyi County, and after arriving in Anyi County, they quickly went to Yongxiu County, and cooperated with the troops of the 106th Division to flank the troops in Yongxiu County. The troops of the 106th Division of Yongxiu County, the Ishihara Detachment temporarily stopped attacking and rested on the spot, and waited until the 6th Brigade of the Heavy Artillery set up its artillery unit to attack the Yongxiu County Zhina troops. ”

"The main force of the 3rd Flying Regiment went all out to cover the operation of the tank cluster troops, dispatched a reconnaissance and search armored unit in China, and immediately dispatched bombers to bomb the armored unit in China, and ordered the troops of the 35th Brigade of the Sixth Division to immediately advance to Jing'an County after crossing the Xiushui River and cooperate with the troops of the 101st Division."

After Okamura Ninji listened to the advice of Yoshimoto Sadaichi and Miyazaki Monday, he immediately began to give orders.

He completely accepted Yoshimoto Sadachi's suggestion, and he planned to eat the 32nd Army and the 70th Army troops in Yongxiu County first.

After giving orders to the ministries, Okamura again began to ask for help from the headquarters of the Central China Dispatch Army, and he hoped that the Central China Dispatch Army would continue to send some aviation units and heavy artillery to support the operation.
