It was when the 9th Division, under the command of Ouyang Yun, braved the snow to let go of the attack on the 33rd Division, and Okamura Ningji appeared in Jiujiang with the 106th Division. Ouyang Yun's side only launched an attack, and Okamura's side received a report from Gan Shigetaro, and after receiving the report, he discussed it with the chief of staff, Yoshimoto Sadaji, and agreed that the student army was crazy.

After the First Air Regiment completed two reinforcements, Tokugawa Yoshitoshi sent a telegram to Okamura to report the battle situation, and it was precisely because of the heavy losses of the tank and armored vehicle units of the Chiro Taoist Army that Okamura and Yoshimoto agreed that the Cadet Army braved the snow to attack without a tank unit, which was a completely lose-lose style and an act of madness.

"Gan Qi decided to take advantage of the chaos to break through, I think it's a good way, as long as they can leave the Lion Gate, then they can go anywhere next. And as long as they can hold out for three days, we can definitely take Nanchang and join them! Okamura said as he looked at the map.

Gibbon agreed, saying, "The sudden drop in temperature is good for us. As long as this weather is maintained for two days, then Panyang Lake will freeze, and at that time, Lieutenant General Yamamuro and Lieutenant General Yamada will be able to lead their troops to cross Panyang Lake on ice and go straight to Nanchang. ”

Okamura and Yoshimoto analyzed that the battle in the southwest of Xinjian Prefecture would only benefit the 33rd Division, so they did not express too much concern. And at about 11:10 a.m., when Gan's second telegram came, the two men were dumbfounded. Okamura was the first to exclaim: "Impossible, how can the people of Shina still have so many chariots?" This, this can't be a dazzle! ”

Yoshimoto said worriedly: "Could it be that the Cadet Army is going north with a large force this time, this damn snow day, if only the reconnaissance plane could be dispatched!" Oops, no, the snow is getting lighter! ”

Okamura sighed and said, "Gan Qi has already prepared the jade crushing, I really didn't expect that we were still one step late!" ”

"I don't know what happened to the small nugget city in Xigang, he still has a large team of troops in his hands, if he can quickly capture the Lion Gate, His Excellency Gan Qi should still have a chance."

"It's too late!"

Just when Okamura received a telegram from Gan Shan that he had decided to break the jade, Nishioka's Kotsu received the same telegram five minutes later. The brigade brought out by Xiao Di had already lost more than 400 people at this time. After reading the telegram, he was stunned for a few minutes, and then resolutely decided to immediately withdraw from the battlefield and retreat to the Dream Mountain Reservoir.

The small digging department retreated in time, and as long as they evacuated an hour and a half late, then they would definitely be surrounded and annihilated by the Fenglan Mountain Division.

The news of the Japanese army in Xigang escaping from Xigang soon reached Chu Tiange's ears, at first he didn't pay much attention to this matter, less than a large group of devils, lacking heavy weapons, at this time on the Nanchang battlefield it was just an ant. However, when a small group of student soldiers sent by Feng Lanshan was ordered to go to Qianqian Village to investigate the enemy's situation and discover the tragic situation there, Chu Tiange was furious. He immediately reported the incident to Ouyang Yun, and after Ouyang Yun sent Liu Zheliang and a group of foreign reporters to the trench to confirm the matter, he was extremely angry and issued the following order: From now on, on the battlefield in Jiangxi, don't take prisoners! Another: The devils who participated in the "Trench Village Tragedy" such as Little Nuggets City are wanted by the whole country, whether they live or die!

That night, after Ouyang Yun left the Second Division to garrison Gao'an, he took most of the Third Division (the Seventh Brigade of the Department was left in Anyi County and would build a defensive line in Tanxi Township), the Eighth Division, the Ninth Division, and the Seventeenth and Eighteenth Divisions across Xiushui and entered Nanchang.

At about 10 o'clock that night, in the headquarters of the guerrillas, Ouyang Yun, Jiang Huangyong, Bai Tassel, Zhang Tianquan, Qian Guangming, Arthur, Menqueri, and a group of guerrillas gathered together to discuss the arrangements for the next battle.

In order to intercept the 33rd Division west of the Lion Gate, the guerrillas paid a terrible price, which was a helpless but necessary thing. After this campaign, the guerrillas finally understood that compared with the regular army, the guerrillas were indeed not very suitable for positional warfare, and the difference in equipment and tactical concepts meant that the guerrillas were suitable for making elusive sharp knives, but could not be used as hammers and hammers.

When summing up the gains and losses in the first battle of the Lion Gate, Ouyang Yun did not hesitate to praise and praised the first and second guerrilla divisions. And gave more than half of the credit for the annihilation of the 33rd Division to the guerrillas.

"Lao Feng is not simple! A person who usually has to compete with baht, this time he actually behaved so high-spirited - don't laugh, I'm serious! Ouyang Yun said this topic very seriously, but Feng Lanshan's image of being greedy and cheap in the hearts of the senior generals of the Cadet Army was really deep-rooted, so a very solemn topic changed because of the snickering of some people. And Ouyang Yun was not exempt from vulgarity in the end, and actually showed a smile.

This made Feng Lanshan very unhappy, he stood up and said, "What are you laughing at?" Lao Tzu is really ready to be a good person today, but I didn't expect to be fooled on dog days. If the little devil really greeted us with all the bombs, Xiao Liu and they would definitely not be so miserable, and they would even be able to take it down-"

"Lao Feng, what you said is not right, the speculative component is too big-ah, I'm not talking about you, I'm talking about Division Commander Liu," Jiang Huangyong said: "The Second Division has almost no anti-aircraft weapons, and they should have prepared for air defense operations instead of preparing for attack when the first wave of Japanese bombing was made-"

"Xiao Liu should want to settle the battle as soon as possible, right? Who would have thought that there would be such a big snow next! If it hadn't been for this snow, the Japanese army would have landed on the west bank of Panyang Lake by this time. And with the equipment of the 11th Division, Jiang Tiezhang's Third Division is not an opponent at all, so the result may still be a Lion Gate defensive battle-" Chu Tiange said.

Ouyang Yun: "The weather has plummeted, and next, we have to consider the possible closure of the river." I estimate that if the severe cold continues, then at most three days, Xiushui, Ganjiang, Panyang Lake, and large and small lakes in Nanchang may be closed. At that time, the Japanese army will drive straight in, everyone, if there is no accident, this will be the last large-scale combat meeting after we enter Jiangxi, what do you think, let's talk about it! ”

The meeting lasted three and a half hours, and the focus of the discussion at the end of the meeting was on the issue of air defense.

On the coast of Fujian in Zhejiang, the combined fleet of the Japanese Navy has begun to organize large-scale bombing, and in the direction of Zhejiang, the Second Air Regiment and the Fifth Air Regiment, which are subordinate to the Japanese Chinese Dispatch Army, are assembling at Xiaoshan Airport in Hangzhou. The Japanese made such a big move with only one purpose, that is, to use their numerical superiority to consume the limited air force of the Cadet Army. Under such circumstances, it becomes unrealistic for the Air Force to go north to support.

Feng Lanshan was fortunate enough to witness the scene of the Japanese fighters attacking the tank unit of the Second Division, and he was particularly impressed, so he was also particularly concerned about this issue. He kindly reminded Ouyang Yun: "Commander-in-chief, the anti-strike capability of the new Japanese fighters has been greatly strengthened, and if the old air defense means are continued, I personally think the effect will not be too great!" ”

Ouyang Yun was very confident in this, and he said: "The Japanese newly modified Type 99 and Falcon have indeed become the biggest threat to our army, but everyone can rest assured, in terms of air defense weapons alone, our army has been at the forefront of the world. Hehe, unless the Japanese aircraft can really have the protection ability of the white-sided dolphin or the air fortress, otherwise, the Japanese will find that in front of our military army, their so-called new fighters are still just paper airplanes! ”
