    The Doolittle Air Raid was like a Pandora's Box that was opened, completely detonating the anger of the Japanese army.

    After the incident, the Japanese Army General Staff Headquarters issued the following two instructions to my country¡¯s dispatched troops in order to prevent the U.S. military from using our country¡¯s airports to bomb Japan.

    First, the air force must be concentrated to attack and bomb the airports in Quzhou, Lishui, Yushan and other areas near Zhejiang, completely destroying them and making them unusable.

    In view of the limited number of troops of the 1st Flying Regiment currently on the Chinese battlefield, it has been decided to transfer the 62nd Heavy Bomber Flying Group to Clark Airport in the Philippines, the 90th Light Bomber Flying Group to Kern Airport in Malaya, and the independent independent bombers directly under the Southern Army.  The 84th Combat Flight Squadron was sent to the Chinese battlefield to strengthen air attack power.

    Second, in order to make the airports in the above-mentioned areas completely useless, it is determined that the ground forces will capture them, carry out thorough destruction, and then withdraw according to the situation. The dispatched troops should quickly formulate an offensive combat plan and force utilization plan accordingly.

    Prior to this, the Japanese base camp had already increased its troops in China, because at the beginning of the Pacific War, in order to support the Southern Army's operations in Southeast Asia, the Japanese army transferred the 5th, 18th, 21st, 33rd, and 33rd troops from the Guannei battlefield in China.  38. The 4th 6th Army Division.

    In order to make up for the shortage of these six divisions, the Japanese base camp ordered the formation of the 58th Division on February 3; on April 1, it ordered the formation of the 59th, 60th, 68th, 69th, 70th, and 6th Divisions.  71st Division.

    By 1942, the Japanese Army had 58 divisions.  The seven new divisions that were just established were all expanded from the original independent mixed brigades and garrison teams, and they will still be stationed in the same place after formation.

    The specific situation is: the 58th Division, originally an independent mixed 18th Brigade, is still stationed in Yingcheng; the 59th Division, originally an independent mixed 10th Brigade, is still stationed in Jinan; the 60th Division, originally an independent mixed 10th Brigade, is still stationed in Jinan;  The 11th Brigade is still stationed in Suzhou; the 68th Division, formerly the independent 14th Brigade, is still stationed in Jiujiang; the 69th Division, formerly the independent 16th Brigade, is still stationed in Fenyang; the 70th Division,  It was originally the independent mixed 20th Brigade and was still stationed in Ningbo; the 71st Division was originally the Hunchun garrison and still belonged to the Kwantung Army.

    "After these independent mixed brigades are expanded into divisions, they only serve as one brigade of the new division. The other brigade is composed of domestic recruits, so their combat effectiveness is uneven.

    Despite this, the Japanese army has still made a considerable improvement in its military strength, making up for the vacancies left by the massive deployment of troops.

    Coupled with the fact that a lot of air force was transferred from the base camp to enhance the air force of the Chinese Expeditionary Force, General Yan Jun felt that he could conduct a surgical battle against the Chinese army in the Zhejiang and Jiangxi regions.

    China¡¯s dispatched troops mainly deployed the newly transferred air force units in the Nanjing area first.

    After arriving in Nanjing, the main combat forces of the Japanese army, which was idle from the Philippines, were basically in place.

    After the deployment of these aviation units of the Japanese army, they began to carry out destructive bombing of airports in China's rear from April 29 to May 7. Some naval aviation units also participated in this operation.

    The ground and air forces stationed in Beijing, Shanghai and Hangzhou conducted bombings on Quzhou, Yushan, Lishui, Ji'an, Jianchang, Lichuan, Jianou and other airports near the coast.

    The 44th Troop and the 10th Independent Flying Troop stationed in the Nanchang area each bombed Jianou and Nancheng airports.

    The Army and Air Force stationed in Wuhan attacked and bombed Hengyang, Ji'an, Laohekou, and Ankang. The 3rd Squadron of the 62nd Heavy Bomber Group also bombed Zhijiang Airport in western Hunan on May 6.

    The 23rd Army Flying Team stationed in Guangzhou carried out continuous attacks and bombings on Guilin, Hengyang, Ganzhou and other airports.

    While the Japanese army was carrying out the above bombing, all eight aircraft of the 62nd Heavy Bomber Squadron and the 1st Squadron stationed in Nanjing were planning to bomb the Jian'ou Airport in Fujian on May 7, but they all became lost during the flight and failed to find the target.  .

    Colonel Doolittle of the US Army led the air force to bomb Japan and landed at a Chinese airport after the bombing. He did not conduct research, obtain consent and make preparations with relevant Chinese departments in advance.  The United States notified my country only after the fleet was dispatched. As a result, after Doolittle landed in eastern Zhejiang, the Japanese army mobilized bomber units to carry out large-scale attacks and bombings on Chinese airports from April 29 to May 7.

    While the Air Force bombing was going on, under the order of the China Dispatch Army General Headquarters, its Army also began to take action.

    On April 22, Yan Junliu decided to suspend the 13th Army's plan to attack Guangde and Ningguo on April 25; the 15th, 22nd, 70th, and 116th divisions that were originally planned to participate in the Guangde and Ningguo operations were  The Kono Yi brigade and other troops changed their missions and prepared to attack the Zhejiang and Jiangxi areas.  The purpose of fighting in Guangde and Ningguo is to expel the troops of the 3rd Theater in this area and consolidate the opposition.Occupation of the line from Hunan Lake to Hangzhou.

    Two days later, the Japanese army base camp sent Lieutenant Colonel Nobutake Takayama, the combat staff officer in charge of the Chinese side, to fly to Nanjing with the Zhejiang and Jiangxi combat plans, and conducted detailed research with the dispatched troops to learn about the battle.

    China has more troops stationed in the 3rd theater, with 4 group armies, 11 corps, and 35 divisions; they are stationed in the prosperous areas with large populations and mountainous areas that are easy to defend in southern Jiangsu, southern Anhui, Zhejiang, Jiangxi, and Fujian.

    Because of the joint resistance against Japan with the Allied countries, morale is relatively strong. At the same time, because they have fought with the Japanese army for several years, they are familiar with the situation of the Japanese army. These all make the morale of the third theater very high.

    Based on the above situation, the Chinese dispatched troops have carefully considered and carefully studied the use of troops and combat methods for this battle.

    The 13th enemy army stationed in Shanghai, responsible for this attack, was established in September 1939. It currently has 6 divisions and 3 independent mixed brigades.

    However, except for the 15th Division stationed in Nanjing, the 60th Division stationed in Suzhou, and the 17th Independent Mixed Brigade stationed in Shanghai, all of them are responsible for local security and carrying out combat tasks in the area at any time, so it is impossible to deploy too many  The troops were sent to the Zhejiang and Jiangxi areas to prevent the troops in the original occupied areas from being counterattacked by our troops behind enemy lines.

    Therefore, at this time, there were four divisions of the New Fourth Army stationed in central Jiangsu, northern Jiangsu, Huainan, and Huaibei, namely Su Yu's 1st Division in central Jiangsu; Huang Kecheng's 3rd Division in northern Jiangsu; Luo Binghui's 2nd Division in Huainan; and Luo Binghui's 2nd Division in Huaibei.  Peng Xuefeng's 4th Division.

    In addition, in central Jiangsu and northern Jiangsu, there is one division of the 57th Army, the 89th Army and the provincial security brigade of Han Deqin, deputy commander-in-chief of the Lusu War Zone and chairman of Jiangsu Province; in northern Anhui, there is the 21st Group Army (Guangxi Army) General  Commander and Anhui Provincial Chairman Li Pinxian's 7th Army, 48th Army and other units.

    Therefore, for this battle, the Japanese army had to mobilize troops from other places!

    With the order of the China Expeditionary Forces Headquarters, it was decided to transfer most of the 32nd Division stationed in Jingchu Tiesang, Yanzhou, to fight on the southern front, and the 140th Regiment of the 110th Division stationed in Shijiazhuang to be assigned.

    At the same time, the 13th Independent Infantry Regiment of the 26th Division stationed in Datong and the 226th Infantry Regiment of the 37th Division stationed in Yuncheng, Shanxi for river defense were formed into a temporary mixed brigade, commanded by Major General Kunixiong Kosozo, commander of the 26th Infantry Brigade.  .

    The 2nd Battalion of the 237th Infantry Regiment and the 2nd Battalion of the 238th Infantry Regiment of the 41st Infantry Division stationed in Texas combined to form the Nara Detachment commanded by Captain Masahiko Nara of the 237th Regiment.

    The 12th Tank Regiment and the 3rd Brigade of the 6th Railway Regiment stationed in Shijiazhuang were also transferred to the southern line to participate in the Zhejiang-Jiangxi Campaign.

    In addition, the nearby 11th Army also received orders to transfer an infantry brigade from the 3rd Division stationed in Yingshan, the 34th Division in Nanchang, and the 39th Division in Jingmen, and from the 3rd Division stationed in Xianning.  The 40th Division transferred two infantry brigades to form the Kono Brigade commanded by Major General Takeshi Kono, commander of the 40th Infantry Regiment.

    However, the Sixth General Yan Jun felt that the troops were insufficient, so after applying to the base camp, the 65th Light Bomber Flying Team, the 1st Railway Headquarters, and the 3rd Army of the 2nd and 4th Railway Corps stationed at Dunhuabei Airport in Jilin Province  This brigade, as well as the 53rd, 54th, and 55th Engineer Brigades that were undergoing river crossing training in the Bengbu area of ????the pass, were all transferred to the southern front for combat.

    The above-mentioned Japanese troops temporarily formed from various regions and several small units arrived in Zhejiang in early May. They were affiliated to various divisions of the 13th Army, and some existed as independent combat units.

    At this point, the Japanese army responsible for fighting in Zhejiang and Jiangxi was officially organized.

    The deeply stimulated little devil is preparing to make a desperate move this time, concentrating almost all his mobile forces to launch an all-out attack on the Chinese army in the Zhejiang and Jiangxi regions. It is not crazy.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
