Tokugawa Yoshitoshi was crazy, and after receiving a telegram from Okamura Ninji asking for help, he sent almost all the bombers that could fly out of the country. Under the indiscriminate bombardment of more than 200 bombers of various types, the surrounding areas of Nanchang, no matter how big the towns were or where they could hide their troops, were all devastated by the Japanese army's wanton and indiscriminate bombing.

The third wave of Japanese bombers flew away from Nanchang, and Connor's side just breathed a sigh of relief and sighed that when purgatory was finally over, the fourth wave of enemy aircraft swarm appeared again in the field of vision of the lookout of the Cadet Army.

The news quickly spread back to the temporary headquarters, and even Ouyang Yun couldn't help but change color, and said, "And?!" Jiang Huangyong was also stunned when he heard this, and the next moment, he threw himself on the table next to him, picked up the phone and shouted: "Quick, pick me up from the eighth teacher." ”

The phone was quickly connected, and when Jiang Huangyong shouted on the phone, asking Zhang Tianquan to suspend the pull-out, Connor looked at Ouyang Yun, first with a shocked face, and then shook his head again and again: "It's crazy, it's crazy, the Eighth Division is an artillery!" Do you want them to come and die? ”

Ouyang Yun touched his nose, looked at Jiang Huangyong, and said, "Let the Eighteenth Division also retreat, and tell them when to go out and listen to my orders!" ”

"Yes!"

In Xilu Township, on the ruins of a house emitting faint white smoke, Okamura Ningji held a telescope and watched in the direction of Nanchang. After three minutes, he put down his binoculars and went down to the ruins, and said to Nakajima Jingcun, "The artillery of the Shina people should have fled far away. Nakajima-kun, the raid in the early hours of the morning, I was too greedy. ”

Nakajima said softly but firmly: "Your Excellency, since Ouyang Yun personally led the troops north, I dare to assert that he will never give up Nanchang." Nanchang is surrounded by water on three sides, easy to defend and difficult to attack. Nanchang used to go until Ganzhou, but it was a flat river with no danger to defend. If Ouyang Yun gave up Nanchang, how could he stop our army from going south? ”

"That being said, but why do I think Nanchang is an empty city at all? Along the way, although we found a large number of destroyed positions, how many corpses did we see? Don't you think that's weird? Perhaps, Ouyang Yun has completely given up on Nanchang. ”

This is also something that Nakajima cannot understand. He couldn't have guessed that Ouyang Yun had left only one regiment of air defense units and a brigade of pure infantry in Nanchang, and these troops could survive the intensive bombardment of the First Air Regiment as long as they drilled into the underground air-raid shelters. During the reconnaissance on the 25th, the Japanese army once found a large number of chariots of the Cadet Army, and these chariots suddenly disappeared from the view of the Japanese, which inevitably made people suspicious. "Your Excellency, if you want Your Excellency Tokugawa to strengthen reconnaissance, I always feel that it can't be so simple!" Nakajima thought for a moment and said.

Okamura nodded, and was about to beckon Yoshimoto Sadaji to call Tokugawa Yoshitoshi, who came over with a telegram and reported: "Your Excellency, Your Excellency Tokugawa has just sent a report on the enemy situation, they have found a large number of enemy troops in Elephant Mountain and Takayasu. In addition, there is also a considerable number of enemy troops in Anyi County - how do I feel that we are now in a pocket, Your Excellency? ”

Okamura was shocked when he heard this, he squatted down, marked the directions of Nanchang, Xiangshan, Gao'an, and Anyi on the ground, and then marked the directions of the various units of his army, looked up at a few books and Nakajima glanced at it and said: "The defensive formation set up by the Xuebing Army really looks like a pocket, then, south of Nanchang, there should still be an enemy army lurking." Yoshimoto, you call Tokugawa back immediately, and ask him to continue reconnaissance, and be sure to find the enemy artillery that appeared in the early hours of this morning! ”

Jibin was destined to leave. Okamura stood up and explained to Nakajima: "Judging from Ouyang Yun's formation, he is using Nanchang as a decoy. With the current strength of our army, in fact, it is nothing to swallow this bait alive, but we must find the location of the artillery that appeared in the early morning, which will be the biggest threat to our army! ”

Nakajima nodded, his gaze swept over the hastily drawn map of Okamura's directions, looked up at Okamura and said, "Your Excellency, I have an idea, since we have spied through Ouyang Yun's attempt, why don't you plan and take Gao'an first?" You see—" He crouched down, drew a line from where his headquarters were, and followed the Ganjiang River to Fengcheng County, forty kilometers southwest of Nanchang, and said, "We can send a wing, pretend to attack Fengcheng, and then suddenly attack Merlin on the opposite side of Fengcheng, take Merlin, quickly advance westward, and then cut off the southward path of the enemy army in Gao'an." As he spoke, he marked Qili Ridge in the northeast direction of Anyi County, and drew a line from here to cut directly between Anyi and Gao'an, and then said: "The Antian United Force is still in the direction of Qililing at the moment, let them cut directly to cut over and cut off the retreat of the defenders of Gao'an and Anyi, then, if we send another group to cooperate with their actions from the direction of Dacheng, we can first encircle and annihilate the defenders of Gao'an, and then annihilate the enemy of Anyi." ”

Okamura also squatted down, he took a serious look at the route marked by Nakajima, and said: "Let's do it, Nakajima-kun, I will give you full command of the battle in the direction of Gaoan." In the direction of Nanchang, let Yokoyama Yong continue to attack, so that not only can it confuse the Xuebing Army, but also if Nanchang is as weak as we can see, it can also be taken in one fell swoop. As long as Nanchang can be taken, there will be no threat to the student army of Xiangshan! ”

Nakajima stood up and replied respectfully, "Hay! Your Excellency, I'm going! ”

Okamura stood up and nodded.

A wing of devils left the main force of the Japanese army and went upstream along the Gan River. Ten minutes later, Ouyang Yun received a report that he marked the direction of this wing on the operational map and asked Jiang Huangyong behind him: "What do you think?" ”

Jiang Huangyong said: "The little devil has other plans, right? Stupid, don't they know that the current Ganjiang River is directly passable? But what could be its true intentions? Attack Ganzhou directly, or turn westward and cut off the way back to the south of the Second Division? Further observation is needed. ”

Ouyang Yun smiled: "What else to observe, it must be going to Zheliang and them." You hurry up and contact Tiange to see what boundary they have reached, and let them move closer to Jing'an County immediately. ”

"It's good."

Jiang Huangyong nodded and contacted Chu Tiange.

Where did Chu Tiange go at this time? Wuning County, 40 kilometers northwest of Jing'an County. And the final destination of their trip will be Jiujiang.

After the victory of the lions, the guerrillas were divided into two parts, of which the 3rd Guerrilla Division was taken to northeast Jiangxi by Jiang Tiezhang, while the remnants of the 1st and 2nd Guerrilla Divisions and the troops directly under the headquarters were taken to northwest Jiangxi by Chu Tiange. Originally, they played the role of iron pincers, which Ouyang Yun was preparing to use to block the 11th Army's northward retreat, but now because Okamura Ning Ci had other thoughts, Chu Tiange's department was going to appear in advance.
