To attack Nanchang, the 17th Division will be the main force of the attack, which was proposed by Isamu Yokoyama, who was humiliated. On the north bank of Xiushui, the 17th Division suffered heavy losses in two river crossing operations, and although it successfully crossed the river the second time, it lost a wing of chariot troops, and Yokoyama himself was wounded, which in his opinion, it was really a great shame. "Am I not even as good as this guy in Nakajima Jingcun?" Secretly, he questioned himself in this way, and for the first time questioned his own commanding talents.

Nakajima Jingcun is known as the "Fox of Long Island" and is known for his resourcefulness, but in the Battle of Madang, he also suffered a lot under the Xuebing Army, and even two of his generals died. Therefore, when Isamu Yokoyama first arrived, he looked down on this guy who was famous, but useless.

At the beginning of the Battle of Changsha, Yokoyama's veteran team Nakajima Jingcun said: "Nakajima, take a good look at how I command the battle!" If you only talk about the performance of the 17th Division in the Battle of Changsha, Yokoyama Yong's words are not ashamed. It's just that once the 17th Division, which was almost walking sideways in Jiangxi, encountered the Scholar Army, it actually became as if it couldn't fight, not to mention that it was deflated, and even Yokoyama himself was almost killed - this was undoubtedly a resounding slap in the face for the arrogant Yokoyama Yong.

The First Air Corps bombed three times in succession, almost turning Nanchang and the surrounding towns into ruins. As the fourth wave of fighters flew over Nanchang, Yokoyama Yong's command knife pointed at Nanchang City, which was still smoking, and shouted: "Attack!" ”

"Hello!" Suzuki Harunmatsu responded loudly and personally led the soldiers of the three brigades to run towards Nanchang City in three ways.

The bombardment was so thorough that even the artillery of the 17th Division was useless. However, perhaps it was the Xiushui River in the Nanjin Yao section that was really chilled by the artillery bombardment of the Xuebing Army, whether it was the 17th Division of Isamu Yokoyama, the 106th Division of Jingcun in Nakajima, and the heavy artillery wing directly under the headquarters of the 11th Army, they were all hidden in the area of Jiaoqiao Town, far away from Nanchang, and did not participate in the battle.

"Are there still defenders in Nanchang?" Standing about three kilometers away from the west bank of the Gan River, Okamura Ninji and Yoshimoto Sadaji observed the battlefield with binoculars, Yoshimoto said.

"We'll see later!" Okamura said.

"The defenders don't even have a shadow, and Yokoyama-kun is still so cautious that he actually divides his troops into three columns."

"The opponent is the Cadet Army, and you should be cautious enough at all times."

The Nanchang section of the Ganjiang River, the width of the river is about 1,500 meters, if it is summer at this time, the turbulent Ganjiang River is a natural danger. Of course, considering that the Japanese Navy firmly controls the water surface of the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, if the river is not frozen, then the 11th Army's offensive against Nanchang will not only be land and air, but water, land and air three-dimensional.

There are fighter planes in the sky to escort the cruise, whether it is the devil soldiers of the 17th Division who have begun to advance steadily on the ice, or the people of Yokoyama Isamu who are staring at the east coast vigilantly with a pair of bull's eyes on the shore, including the Gang Ku Ningji and Yoshimoto Sadaji and other headquarters personnel who are watching here from a distance, their mood at the moment is actually relatively relaxed.

The devils of the three brigades were separated by about a kilometer from each other, and walked steadily towards Nanchang City from the three river sections. The current devils are worried that the cadet army will do things on the ice, so they are particularly cautious, and they will stampe on the ice with their feet every ten meters or so, and make sure that the ice is solid and firm before continuing to move forward.

Suzuki Harunmatsu followed the brigade on the far left to the opposite bank, he picked up the telescope from time to time to look at the opposite side, when he reached the middle of the Gan River, he picked up the telescope again to look over, first stunned, then turned to look at the west bank embankment, his face changed. "Stop!" He roared.

The shout was so sudden that it startled several of his men who jumped, and one of them slipped and fell on the ice.

"Your Excellency, what's wrong?" The commander of the road, Morita Shaosa, looked at him and asked.

Suzuki Haramatsu said with a gloomy face: "There is a problem with the river embankment opposite!" ”

The other two devils also stopped advancing, and among them, many of the devils in the lead lay directly on the ice and set up the platoon support weapons such as machine guns and grenadiers.

Connor followed behind Ouyang Yun and walked along an almost crystal palace-like passage, the look of surprise on his face became heavier and heavier, and he finally couldn't help but say, "It's amazing, Commander-in-Chief, I have to admit that you are really talented in military affairs—how did you come up with that?" ”

The five-kilometre-long tunnel was excavated four days ago, using a total of 26 excavators and taking three days. At first, Connor thought it was a trench being dug, but at the time it was still very puzzling, why was the trench so narrow? And when he saw thousands of apprentices carrying various tools to pour water on the four walls of the trench in the night, and fetch ice and spread it on the top of the passage, he became more and more puzzled, and he didn't understand what Ouyang Yun wanted to do with so much human and financial resources. It was only now, when he followed Ouyang Yun along the passage into the trench near the river, and saw the Japanese soldiers on the river through the shooting hole, that he really understood the beauty of this "trench".

The biggest feature of this trench is that it makes full use of the current cold weather, so that the protective surface of the trench near the river is connected with the embankment in other places, which looks natural and deceptive. Because the trenches were also covered with snow, this not only deceived the eyes of the Japanese pilots, but also almost deceived Suzuki Harustsu.

Ouyang Yun and Connor had just entered the riverside trench along a preset passage, and the white tassel who commanded here gave the order to open fire. Looking closer, there is still a difference between this trench and the embankments on both sides. Because the protection on the outside is made by the soldiers with watering, it looks more transparent and crystal clear than the ice and snow deposits on both sides of the river embankment. And the reason why Suzuki Harunmatsu can find something strange from a distance of seven or eight hundred meters is because some students put their guns on the firing port in advance, so that he can see the mystery.

Suzuki Harunmatsu was still a little late in discovering it, because the ghost soldiers who were walking in the front at this time were only about 200 meters away from this ice trench. Seeing that they were lying down under the command of the officer, and began to set up machine guns to build an offensive position, Bai Tassel knew that the secret of the road had been exposed, and immediately gave the order to open fire.

The length of this trench along the river is about 3,000 meters, and there are five passages in between, which are connected to the Tibetan caves in the rear. At this time, the cadets stationed behind the ice wall were a battalion, and the cadets of a battalion opened fire at the same time, sweeping down a large area of the devils in front of the three columns of devils.

As soon as the guns rang out, the secret of the icy trench could not be hidden. Not to mention that Isamu Yokoyama, Okamura Ninji, and Yoshimoto Sadaji saw this scene, and their mouths opened so wide that they could almost stuff an egg. As for the devil pilots who were patrolling in the sky, they followed the sound of the gun, and found that the gunfire actually came from under a section of the river embankment, and they were stunned at first, and the next moment, they all roared angrily: "Ba Ge Yalu!" The people of China are so cunning! Then he drove the plane and swooped down towards the embankment.
