There is a reason why we decided to use the 106th Division as the main attack, but of course it was more helpless!
After the Battle of Wanjialing, the 106th Division was almost completely wiped out. Only the division commander Matsuura Junrokuro escaped with a small number of officers.
Originally, Junroku Matsuura had to peel off his skin for a major mistake like this, but to the surprise of the Central China Front Army Headquarters and the base camp, Junroku Matsuura actually brought the flags of the four main regiments of the 106th Division. Come back.
According to the tradition of the Japanese army, the military flag is the soul of an army and the fundamental guarantee for its survival.
On the battlefield, what the Japanese army was most concerned about was not how many people died, or even whether they were defeated, but whether the military flag fell into the hands of the enemy. It can be seen that the military flag ratio is more important to them than their lives.
Even if they face defeat, before committing suicide by caesarean section, they must burn the flag dry and perform a ritual before they can consider death.
Of course, this is related to the tradition of the Japanese army. In the traditional military education of the Japanese army, the military flag is the symbol and honor of an army. The reason is that the Japanese military flag can only be owned by the organic infantry regiment and the cavalry regiment, and is personally awarded by the emperor. It is of great significance. Its lofty status and absolute influence in the army is obvious.
In Japan, it is an important tradition of militarism for soldiers to carry military flags to war. They believe that carrying military flags to war can not only ensure safety, but also have the magical effect of dodging bullets.
Therefore, the Japanese army has always attached great importance to the safety of its military flags. It clearly stipulates in the battle regulations that if the army wins, the military flag must be raised high. However, if it encounters the danger of the entire army being annihilated, the military flag should be burned immediately, which is called burning.
Moreover, for the Japanese army, the military flag is closely related to the organization of its regiment. If it is captured or lost by the enemy in battle, it will be regarded as a great shame for the entire regiment. What is more serious is that if the regiment flag is lost, The alliance organization will be cancelled.
Therefore, in order to protect the military flag, each regiment of the Japanese army has a flag guard, and the flag bearer must be the best captain officer in the regiment.
It is precisely because of this emphasis on the safety of the military flag that during the entire World War II, including the allied forces of China, the United States, Britain, the Soviet Union and other countries, a total of millions of Japanese troops were eliminated. There were military flags and plaster flags seized, but only However, not one of the regimental flags given by the Emperor was captured.
It is understood that during World War II, the Japanese army burned a total of 444 regimental flags, of which 179 were burned on the Chinese battlefield alone. In the end, only one unit flag was preserved, and it is now preserved at the Yasukuni Shrine Museum in Tokyo, Japan.
Since most of the military flags were brought back, the base camp did not cancel the designation of the 106th Division and decided to rebuild the 106th Division on the spot. Matsuura Junrokuro is still the commander of the Lieutenant General Division!
However, what the base camp and the Central China Front Army Headquarters did not expect was that although the 106th Division had been rebuilt, the morale of the troops had a huge problem.
All the officers and soldiers were depressed from top to bottom, and they were also very passive during training. After the Wuhan Battle, Okamura Ningji sent the 106th Division to the west to perform a mopping up mission. As a result, an infantry brigade sent out was unexpectedly killed by the National Army. One regiment was defeated.
This result shocked and angered the Central China Front Army. Before, an infantry brigade of the Imperial Japanese Army could stand alone against an infantry division of the Chinese Army, but now it was defeated by a small infantry regiment. Oh, this is such a shame for being thrown into grandma¡¯s house!
After realizing the seriousness of the matter, the 11th Army Headquarters immediately investigated the cause. This investigation found that the problem of the 106th Division was far more serious than imagined.
Since the Matsuura Division is a four-unit B division, it is highly valued in the entire Japanese army's combat sequence. In particular, part of the Matsuura Division's troops are formed from reserve soldiers in the Kyoto area, so they are used throughout Tokyo. All have a certain reputation.
After the Matsuura Division went on the expedition, many people in Tokyo were waiting for news of their triumphant victory. However, the good news did not arrive, but the bad news that the Matsuura Division was completely wiped out.
When the news of Wanjialing¡¯s annihilation reached Japan, everyone in the government and the public was shocked. The common people despised the division even more. After all the Japanese reinforcements heard that it was about to be incorporated into the 106th Division, they thought it was an ominous sign and cried to each other. The 106th Division became synonymous with the "Death Division".
After reading the investigation report sent by the chief of staff, Okamura Neji couldn't help but sigh: "The 106th Division was severely hit by the annihilation of the entire army, suffered the stigma of being a weak soldier, and became the number one weak division in Japan ."
But no matter what, the 106th Division is now under the command of his 11th Army.??Neji has the responsibility and obligation to restore the morale of this division!
As an experienced commander, Okamura Neiji knows that the most direct way to restore the combat effectiveness of a unit that has lost its soul is to give them a hearty victory.
Ever since, Okamura Neiji finally decided to let the 106th Division serve as the main attack, and the Third Division and other troops would escort it!
In order to win Nanchang City in one fell swoop, Okamura Neiji immediately conducted supplementary and intense training for the 106th Division, which had very weak combat effectiveness. This battle also greatly strengthened these two divisions in terms of heavy weapons. .
Moreover, Okamura Neiji learned the lesson from the Battle of Wanjialing this time. Before formulating this combat plan, the 11th Army¡¯s Chief of Operations Staff, Colonel Miyazaki Monday, Staff Lieutenant Colonel Amano Masaichi, and others flew to Xiushui several times. To the south, facing both sides of Poyang Lake, the Nanxun Railway, roads in Qiujin, Tanxi, Wanbu and other places, the terrain in the northern part of Jiuling Mountains, the garrison's fortifications, defense system, and troop deployment south of Xiushui and near Nanchang , heavy weapons positions and other battlefield conditions were conducted aerial reconnaissance.
Based on this, we selected the crossing point and march route, and proposed a plan to intensively use aviation and artillery to forcefully cross Xiushui.
At the same time, in order to increase the intensity and speed of the attack, the Japanese army also proposed the concentrated use of armored forces.
At the same time, in order to prevent the troops from the 3rd theater from reinforcements to Nanchang, it is recommended that the Central China Dispatch Army dispatch a unit in the Hangzhou area to cross the Qiantang River to conduct a feint attack and contain the battle.
When the Japanese army was ready to move, the Nationalist Government also received the news and immediately stepped up its time to deploy defenses.
In fact, after the Wuhan battle, the Chinese army still had nearly 90 divisions deployed around Wuhan. To the west and north of Wuhan were Li Zongren's 6 group armies, 13 corps, 34 infantry divisions and 1 cavalry division in the fifth theater. and 1 cavalry brigade, deployed in the vast areas of western Anhui, southern Henan, southern Hubei and northwest Hubei.
To the south and east of Wuhan are the 8 group armies, 21 corps, and 52 infantry divisions of the Ninth Theater Command under Xue Yue, deployed in key areas of northwest Jiangxi, southern Hubei, and Hunan.
In addition, there are a number of special forces and local guerrilla forces in the two war zones, and the above forces form an encirclement situation around Wuhan.
In addition, to the east of the Ninth War Zone, there are 4 group armies, 22 infantry divisions and 2 infantry brigades of the Third War Zone under Gu Zhutong's command, which can support each other with the Ninth War Zone.
In mid-February, the Ninth War Zone faced off with the Japanese 11th Army in the northern Jiangxi and Hubei areas south of the Yangtze River, and various units are still undergoing supplementary training.
The specific deployment is that Luo Zhuoying's 19th Army will defend the north front of Nanchang, and the 70th, 49th, 79th, 32nd Army and the 9th Reserve Division will deploy side by side from the south bank of Xiushui east of Ruoxi River to the west bank of Poyang Lake. ; and the 72nd Army of Wang Lingji's 30th Group Army is responsible for the defense in the Wuning area; Fan Songfu's 8th and 73rd Army are responsible for the defense near Henglu north of Wuning.
In addition to this time, the 13th, 18th, 92nd, 37th, and 52nd armies of Tang Enbo's 31st Group Army served as the garrison in southern Hubei and northern Hunan; the 58th Army, 60th Army, and the newly formed 3rd Army of Luhan's 1st Group Army The 74th Army is directly under the jurisdiction of the theater and is controlled in the Changsha, Liuyang, and Liling areas as a reserve force.
In late February, the 1st Department of the Military Command Department of the Military Commission of the Nationalist Government concluded based on intelligence from all parties that the Japanese army had attempted to capture Nanchang and put forward corresponding opinions.
On March 8, Chiang Kai-shek sent a message to Xue Yue, commander of the Ninth War Zone: "In order to ensure the communication line between Nanchang and its rear, the Ninth War Zone decided to attack the enemy first and divert the offensive to defeat the enemy's attempt. Preparations for the attack should be on It must be completed before March 10, and the scheduled attack start date is March 15.¡±
It also gave principle instructions on the guidance and deployment, requiring the 19th Army to stick to its current position and resist the enemy's cross-river attack; the Hunan-Hubei-Jiangxi border advance army commanded the 8th and 73rd armies to point from Wuning to De'an and Ruichang to attack the enemy. On the left side; the 30th and 27th Group Armies are gathering near Wuning, and the 1st Group Army is advancing towards Xiushui and Sandu, preparing for subsequent operations.
Xue Yue called Chiang Kai-shek one after another on March 9th and 10th, stating that the troops had not been fully trained, that supplies were difficult, and that preparations were insufficient. He requested that the implementation be postponed until March 24th.
At the same time, Xue Yue pointed out that the Japanese troops in Nanjing, Yueyang, Hangzhou and other places mobilized frequently and may cooperate with the troops in Nanchang to launch large-scale attacks. Therefore, he hoped that the Military Commission could coordinate the mobilization and strive to launch several large-scale attacks in other battlefields. Contain the Japanese army and buy time to defend Greater Nanchang. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
