After returning to Yinjiang, Zhong Yi was very busy for a while.
By the end of April of 1939, the backlog of affairs on the desk was finally sorted out.
During this process, the Battle of Nanchang has come to an end. Due to the cunning operation of Principal Chang, the 41st Group Army suffered a decisive defeat and lost the ability to counterattack Nanchang.
The process of things is like this.
In the very initial stage of the campaign, Luo Zhuoying, the former enemy commander in northern Jiangxi, formulated more realistic guidelines with the assistance of Chief of Staff Luo Weixiong.
This guideline is to learn from the lessons of previous wars and not to confront the Japanese army head-on. Even Nanchang is not prepared to leave troops to defend it, but to disperse the main force to the periphery and look for opportunities to harass the tired Japanese army.
To put it bluntly, what we are actually learning is the Tubal way: the devils fight the devils, and we fight our own.
Facts have once again proved that the Tubal Road method is effective. From the beginning of the battle to the end of March, although the Japanese army captured big cities such as Nanchang and Wuning, they paid heavy casualties.
Throughout the first stage of the Battle of Nanchang, the Japanese army suffered more than 10,000 casualties and more than 1,000 killed in action, while the Chinese army suffered approximately 10,000 casualties and about 2,000 killed in action.
The death ratio between the two sides is about one to two, which is actually very good.
Although it is said that Nanchang, the capital of Jiangxi Province, and a large area of ????land were lost, Mao Zedong said it well, if you save the land and lose the people, you will lose both the people and the land; if you save the people and lose the land, you will save the people and the land.
As long as the army is still there, sooner or later Nanchang will be liberated!
For the Chinese army, such a casualty ratio is acceptable, but for the Japanese army, such a battle damage ratio is unacceptable. Therefore, after capturing Nanchang, Okamura Neiji decisively ordered to suspend the offensive.
It must be said that Okamura Neiji, an old Japanese soldier, is indeed cunning. After discovering that the Japanese army suffered too much battle damage, the old Japanese soldier decisively innovated his tactics. He no longer blindly attacked like in the first stage of the battle, but decided to lure the Japanese army away. Come out and achieve the tactical goal of annihilating the effective strength of the national army through defensive operations.
So Okamura Neiji ordered a suspension of the attack, and called in reporters to publish several articles in a row, exaggerating and reporting on the tragic situation of the 11th Army in the Battle of Nanchang.
Okamura Neiji even did not hesitate to publicly shame himself, claiming that Xue Yue, the acting commander-in-chief of the Ninth Theater Command, and Luo Zhengying, commander-in-chief of the 41st Group Army, were the most powerful opponents he had ever encountered in his life! He also said that although the Japanese army successfully occupied Nanchang, they were cautiously optimistic about whether they could hold Nanchang.
Okamura Neji just published it in the newspaper and said: I can't stand it anymore, come and beat me.
This is something new. Since the Sino-Japanese war broke out, the Japanese army has always been arrogant and arrogant. When has it ever been soft or cowardly?
As the news spread, the national army suddenly became excited.
The morale of the officers and soldiers of the 41st Group on the front line is even higher, and the grassroots officers have asked to switch to counter-offensive operations.
However, Xue Yue and Luo Zhengying were very clear-headed. Their judgment was that although the Japanese army paid a heavy price, its overall strength was still far stronger than that of the Ninth Theater. Recovering Nanchang will waste precious troops in vain.
Therefore, no matter how the officers below made trouble, Xue Yue and Luo Zhengying remained unmoved.
¡°But there was another person who also believed Okamura Neji¡¯s deception, and that person was Principal Chang.
After the Battle of Wuhan, the Japanese army was unable to launch a large-scale strategic offensive due to too much force consumption and too long a battle line. This is an indisputable fact. Therefore, Principal Chang believed that the 11th Army of Okamura Neji's Nanchang Battlefield was The performance is also credible. The national army really has a god-given opportunity to counterattack Nanchang.
More importantly, if the Ninth War Zone can regain Nanchang, it will undoubtedly greatly boost morale.
Because since the outbreak of the Sino-Japanese War, although the national army has occasionally regained lost territory, it has only regained one or two county towns at most, not even slightly larger cities. If it can regain Nanchang in one fell swoop this time, it will definitely be unprecedented. A major event, which was of great help in reversing the situation of the Sino-Japanese War.
Falling into this logic, Principal Chang ordered a counterattack.
It was also a coincidence that at this time, the fine weapons of a division assisted by Zhong Yi were delivered to the battlefield in northern Jiangxi.
After switching to beautiful weapons, Zhu Liangcheng launched a small-scale counterattack in Wuning. As a result, half of the Japanese brigade was wiped out with lightning speed!
At this time, Principal Chang urged me repeatedly, and Yourong 1In response to the division's outstanding performance, Xue Yue and Luo Zhengying finally began to waver. After drafting a hasty battle plan, Luo Zhengying ordered a full-scale counterattack.
This time, it was exactly what Okamura Neiji wanted. The Japanese army changed from a difficult offensive operation to a defensive operation.
The national army's counterattack lasted for about a month. By the end of April, the number of casualties had expanded to more than 50,000. In other words, during the month of the counterattack, there were about 40,000 more casualties. This is nothing. What's more important is that these four Almost all of the tens of thousands of casualties were killed in action, and very few national troops were injured!
This means that basically all the injured soldiers of the national army died!
The reason is also very simple, because the national army lacks the ability to attack difficult targets, and most attacks end in failure.
If the position could not be taken down, it would be impossible for the injured officers and soldiers to be carried back for treatment. Basically, they would die heroically due to excessive blood loss.
So what about the Japanese casualties?
The defensive operation lasted for nearly a month, and the Japanese suffered almost 10,000 casualties.
About a thousand of these 10,000 people were killed in action. The number of Japanese casualties was almost the same in the two stages before and after the battle.
In other words, in the second stage of the Battle of Nanchang, the death ratio between the enemy and ourselves reached an unimaginable one to forty ratio. This is really eye-catching!
What is even more unacceptable is that among the various units of the national army participating in the war, the most casualties were precisely the 41st Group Army, the most powerful combat force. For example, Zhu Liangcheng's Rong 1st Division was almost crippled!
When the 1st Rong Division withdrew from the battlefield, there were only less than 2,000 officers and soldiers left in the division out of more than 9,000!
What is even more distressing is that even the bodies of the fallen officers and soldiers cannot be retrieved!
As a last resort, Luo Zhengying could only erect a stone tablet in the mountain and engrave the names of the fallen officers and soldiers on it. Some officers and soldiers could only be marked with anonymous names because they did not even have names.
After the news reached Yinjiang, Zhong Yi couldn't eat for three days.
1st Rong Division, this is the old unit he brought out from Nanjing!
After the Battle of Wuhan, the combat effectiveness of the 1st Rong Division reached its peak and became an elite unit with the best combat effectiveness among the more than 200 divisions of the national army. However, they did not expect that they would be defeated under the walls of Nanchang today. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
