Because the Japanese army came quickly, many positions had not been dug up, and when they were shooting at the Japanese army, because there was no protection from the bunker, they suffered heavy casualties, and the ordinary soldiers of the Japanese army could shoot the enemy at an average of 200 meters, but the fruit army was not good, and it was also by luck to hit the enemy at 50 meters.

The three divisions were beaten extremely badly, because the follow-up team of the 102nd Division of the Japanese army came up with a large number of chariots and artillery, and the attack became more violent.

In the afternoon, the Japanese 105th Division began to force the crossing of Xiushui from Qiujin, and the 102nd Division also began to cross the river from the north of Tujiabu.

The water was 30 meters wide, and the defenders on the other side of the river arranged a large number of fortified positions to block the Japanese troops here.

"Da Da Da ~~" The fortifications arranged on the other side of the river began to breathe fire, light Czech machine guns, water-cooled Maxine heavy machine guns, medium formal rifles, water Lianzhu, Hanyang-made, etc., all kinds of guns are available, and there are many varieties, which leads to an increase in the logistical burden. However, in order to block the devils here, the logistics have prepared a lot of ammunition, and even more than 30 75mm field guns are arranged behind the fortifications, and there are a lot of mortars. However, the Japanese army had more artillery than them, and it was also powerful, so as a result, their artillery opened and fired a few shells before it was counter-artillery by the Japanese army.

In order to force the crossing of the water, the Japanese army mobilized many boats, and the sappers were also rushing to build pontoon bridges. The 30-meter-wide repair of water brought a lot of trouble to the Japanese army, and in order to make the Japanese army march all the way west, they did not make any preparations, and the losses were not small.

Countless bullets flew over the river, and small boats made of wood or sawdust from the hits flew straight away, breaking through the leaks of the boats, or firing at the Japanese soldiers lying on the boats. The Japanese soldiers on the ship also wanted to fight back, but the boat was shaky, and they couldn't aim at all, so they could only aim roughly, and whether they could hit or not could only depend on luck.

On the elongated Xiushui front, the Japanese army attacked frantically, throwing a large number of shells, mixed with a lot of poison gas bombs. The shells fell on the position, emitting pale yellow smoke, with a faint smell of garlic, yes, it was really mustard / poison gas, although winter is not a good weather to use poison gas, but it still has some effect, many people died under poison gas, many officers at the regiment and brigade level were poisoned, they were poisoned and withdrew from the battlefield, which could easily cause panic in the army.

"Onboard." The first boat finally broke through the fire and reached the opposite shore, a small boat could only hold a squad of 11 Japanese soldiers at most, they got off the boat, immediately followed the beachhead to find cover, fired at the defenders on the position, and opened up a position for the Japanese troops behind.

"Quick, drive all the devils down, we can't let them stand on the beachhead." The current highest commander on the position was a regimental commander, who ordered the soldiers to drive the Japanese army back.

"Tutu Tu Tu ~~" A lot of Czech machine guns turned their fire here and swept at the Japanese troops on the beachhead, but as soon as their muzzles left, the pressure of the other Japanese troops on the water suddenly decreased, and the rowing Japanese soldiers rowed faster. As soon as the grenadier hand reached the beachhead, he began to fire grenades, specifically shooting at the place of the machine gun, and the shot was extremely accurate, although the lethality of the 40mm grenade was not too high, but it was enough to kill a machine gunner. The machine guns at this time were operated by specialized personnel.

The Makqin water-cooled machine gun is bulky and heavy, and it was widely used in World War I, but in World War II, each country had its own heavy machine gun, and Makqin was too bulky, and only a few countries were equipped, among which China was equipped more, and a large number of Makqin heavy machine guns were active on the land of China, spitting bullets at the Japanese invaders.

However, most of these heavy machine gun positions were held by the Japanese army, but wherever there was continuous firepower, they would be accurately hit by some small-caliber mortars of the Japanese army, and almost all the machine guns were knocked out, and the defenders who lacked automatic fire could not stop the Japanese attack at all. In addition to artillery, the Japanese army also had a large number of crooked handles and captured light Czech and other automatic firepower, and their guns were accurate, and soon stood firm on the beachhead, and then the pontoon bridge was also built, a large number of Japanese troops passed the pontoon bridge, rushed through Xiushui, at 7 o'clock in the night, the defenders on the opposite side of Xiushui were defeated, and the Japanese army successfully crossed Xiushui, but the losses were somewhat serious.

Early morning on the 21st, it was sunny and light wind level 2.

After all two divisions of the Japanese army crossed the river, at around 5 o'clock, the 105th Division attacked the defenders of Dongshan, and the defenders stubbornly resisted.

The speed of the Japanese attack was very fast, or the national/army retreated very quickly, and as long as the Japanese fired a few shots along the way, the defenders on the opposite side would flee.

Okamura Ninji commanded a large army and attacked Nanchang from three directions, with the intention of destroying the army at Panyang Lake. The three armies were: the Japanese army on the left, the 116th Division and the first part of the Marine Corps, with more than 30 large and small warships and more than 50 motorboats, rushed from the north of Poyang Lake to encircle the defenders of Wucheng in three dimensions. The Japanese army in the center was the 11th Division and the artillery, chariots, and cavalry directly under the army. The Japanese troops on the right were the 102nd, 103rd, and 105th divisions and a detachment, and in the roar of more than 200 cannons, they repaired the water river with intensity, broke through the defenders' defensive line, and covered up the Nanchang overwhelm.

Now the whole of Nanchang and its surroundings are surrounded by Japanese troops. If there were no other reasons, then the Battle of Nanchang would still be as rout as in history.

From the clouds at a height of several thousand meters, 25 Jian-5 carried various aerial bombs, as the mutation factor, for this war, Lu Qiang must ensure that Poyang Lake is in the hands of China/army, and the vanguard is 25 aircraft, and then, Lu Qiang sent an infantry regiment, an armored regiment and an artillery regiment to the south to launch an attack on the county south of Dabie Mountain, the purpose is to open up the route to the Yangtze River, pose a threat to the ass of the Japanese army, so that the Japanese army does not dare to attack with all its might.

At 9 o'clock in the morning, the three regiments under the leadership of the lynx, launched an attack on Yuexi, Yingshan, Luotian and other county seats, and the Japanese army was also startled by Lu Qiang's sudden attack, but their counterattack was very fast, and in the three county towns, there were two squadrons of Japanese troops and 3, 4000 puppet army defenders, equipped with more than a dozen 92 infantry guns and mortars.

At 10 o'clock, Lu Qiang's artillery began to open fire, in terms of firepower, the Japanese army is definitely not the opponent of Lu Qiang's army, more than 100 artillery pieces blew up the city gate of Yuexi in a few minutes, less than four meters high The earth wall was directly blown down in a large section, and the Japanese soldiers on the city wall were killed and wounded, and the pseudo was countless.

Yuexi County was attacked, and the news quickly reached the hands of Gangcun, for this army, he was really a little afraid, Yuexi County was captured in an instant, and it was not unexpected by Gangcun, after all, the other party's firepower was too strong.

Conquered Yuexi County, left a company of people to guard, and by the way, moved the population to Dawang Village, and captured a lot of puppet soldiers to pull back to do coolie transformation and then fill the army. The three regiments then continued southward, and the Japanese were ordered to hold off the force. So a large number of troops were transferred from all over the country to reinforce their next target, Yingshan County.

The mechanized troops marched extremely fast, relying on nearly 1,000 jeeps and tanks, and just captured Yuexi County an hour ago, and arrived at the city of Yingshan County more than an hour later.

The 152 plus howitzer and 130 cannon take a few minutes to unfold because of the hoe, so the 105mm howitzer fires first, and the thick shells are stuffed into the chamber and then fired. 50 105 howitzers were fired together, and the artillerymen used all their strength to fire shells at Yingshan County. Loading, closing the valve, pulling the gun rope, and returning the shell, all in one go. However, the 105mm high-explosive shell was a bit heavy, and it was impossible to load it by one person alone, so the two shifts fell, and the artillery kept throwing shells at Yingshan County.

In addition to the original two squadrons and the puppet army, Yingshan County also had teams from Luotian County and other places to support, and more than 2,000 people and tens of thousands of puppet troops were gathered in this small Yingshan County.

"The devils transferred their teams to intercept us, and now their Luotian County must be very empty, so first send an armored force to take Luotian County first, and then join Yingshan County, Yuexi County was attacked by reinforcements from Qianshan Huaining Anqing, we have a company there, plus some people temporarily pulled up, we can't stop the Japanese attack at all, so we must take Yingshan County as soon as possible, and then return to Yuexi County." A staff officer said, pointing to the map.

"Well, just do it, let the second armored battalion take 30 tanks and a company to Luotian County with the fastest speed and no need to return to help, directly take away everything that can be taken away, whether it is people, animals or things, leave nothing behind, and other troops will immediately attack Yingshan County." Lynx ordered, and although he didn't have much strategic vision, he still knew something so simple.

30 T-34 tanks and a company broke away from the team and attacked towards Luotian County, at the same time, the artillery regiment attacking Yingshan County, 152 and 130, who had already laid down their hoes, also began to roar, and the large-caliber artillery carried greater power to smash the Japanese army defending the city, and the Japanese army defending the city was miserable for a while, and Lu Qiang was different from other troops, so he stopped after a few shots, and then attacked. Lu Qiang's artillery will not stop until all the other side is blown to slag, and with the support of rich logistics, the artillery has not stopped at all, and the large-caliber artillery has spewed out flames of more than ten meters, smashing all the shells into the city, and there is also air force support in the sky to provide the enemy's coordinates.

The Japanese troops in Yingshan County finally realized the taste of the fruit army at the beginning, and were ruthlessly covered by their cannons, and now they are also ruthlessly covered by the other party's cannons, and feng shui takes turns.

The large-caliber artillery stopped after half an hour, and in this half an hour, tens of thousands of shells were thrown into the city, and there were 200kg of aerial bombs thrown down by planes in the air, and not a single part of the whole city was intact.

In addition to the devastating casualties inflicted on the Japanese troops, the casualties among the civilians in the city were not small, and half an hour later, the tanks were in the head, and the infantry was behind, and they began to think about attacking the city. On the other side, the defenders of Luotian County only had some puppet troops, and as soon as the team arrived, they immediately surrendered without discipline and opened the door to the city.
