While Li Guoyao's troops were busy formulating a battle plan to attack Zaozhuang, storms were already raging outside Nanchang City in the Jiangnan area, and the war was about to break out.
After receiving the combat order from the Central China Front Army Headquarters, the Japanese 11th Army began to actively prepare for war!
This time when the Japanese army attacked Nanchang, the Japanese army changed the previous practice of assigning field heavy artillery and tank troops to various divisions. Instead, they were uniformly used by the 11th Army, namely the 6th Brigade of Field Heavy Artillery and the 6th Brigade of Field Heavy Artillery when they forcibly crossed Xiushui. The artillery regiments of the two divisions will be commanded by Major General Raishiro Sumita, commander of the 6th Field Heavy Artillery Brigade.
The mission of this department is to use firepower to suppress and destroy the strong fortifications of the defenders, cover the infantry's forced crossing of Xiushui; open channels for the troops blocked in the attack, attack the heavy artillery of the defenders; and participate in the artillery operations of Nanchang siege.
This was the largest concentration of artillery and tanks by the Japanese army on the Chinese battlefield. Four heavy artillery regiments alone were dispatched, and there was also a mountain artillery regiment and two field artillery regiments participating in the battle.
This powerful Japanese artillery force has a total of 72 "Four-Year Type" 15 cm caliber howitzers, 16 "Fourteen Years Type" 10 cm caliber heavy cannons, 12 "Four-Year Type" 7.5 cm caliber guns, and "38 Type" "There are 66 7.5 cm caliber guns, plus other large-caliber artillery, a total of 170 guns.
In addition, the 4 infantry regiments of each division of the Japanese army still have 56 breech-loading guns. The two main divisions participating in the offensive have 112 guns and 8 attached mortar squadrons. Not counting the regiment mountain artillery. The squadron has 4 mountain cannons and 4 rapid-fire cannons. Each of the three brigades has two Type 92 infantry cannons.
In other words, in order to attack the city of Nanchang, the Japanese army dispatched more than 300 artillery pieces at one time, which was extremely rare in the history of the Japanese army invading China.
In addition, Okamura Neiji also assembled a considerable number of tank troops, including 38 "Type **" medium tanks of the 5th Tank Group, 22 "Type 94" light tanks, and the 7th Tank Group. The team has 38 "Type **" tanks and 20 "Type 94" light tanks; the 9th Independent Light Tank Squadron has 17 "Type 94" light tanks, which are combined into a tank group.
The tank group is commanded by Colonel Hiroyoshi Ishii and has a total of 135 tanks of various types.
¡°I have to say that Okamura Neji is really a talent, courageous and courageous.
They only had two infantry divisions to attack Nanchang, but they concentrated on using as many artillery and tank units as Ding, resulting in an astonishing 1:1 ratio between artillery and infantry units.
This is a unique way that the 11th Army of Okamura attempts to make the 106th Division, a division with very weak combat effectiveness, achieve the expected combat results. It is also the first time since the "July 7th Incident" that the enemy has used troops in this way.
It was more than a year before the German army suddenly launched a blitzkrieg into France on May 10, 1940, with tanks, motorized infantry, light bombers, and paratroopers.
In order to let the artillery and tank troops understand the defense situation of the national army in various areas south of Xiushui, the 11th Army Headquarters also sent aerial photos of the area to these participating troops.
