Gao Jiu pointed to the Nanfeng Mountain area and said, "We don't know the specific strength of the Japanese reinforcements at present, but we can be sure that at least there will be no less than one registrar. With our current strength, it is difficult to withstand the Japanese attack.

We can only rely on the complex terrain of the Nanfeng Mountains to deal with them and delay the speed of the enemy's attack. Therefore, we must first step ahead of the enemy and rush to Nanfeng Mountain."

Everyone was very confident in Gao Jiu's command ability. They didn't have to worry about how to fight next, with Gao Jiu present. So everyone agreed.

Gao Jiu said: "What else do you have? If not, go back immediately to inform the troops to prepare and set off in an hour."

Guan Lie said: "Jiu Ye, our supplementary regiment carries not many weapons and ammunition, nor does it have heavy weapons. After a battle, the ammunition was basically consumed. Although some Japanese weapons were seized, the soldiers were not good at using them, and there was not much ammunition. There were also food and other supplies. How to solve these problems?"

The replenishment of the troops has always been carried out according to the system of the troops. Han Changgeng's guard battalion belongs to the 58th Division in Nanchang. It is too far away from here, so they have no time to replenish.

After Wang Guimin passed the previous battle, he knew clearly that it was impossible for them to supplement from the 62nd Division. If they sent people back and asked the 62nd Division to supplement, not only would they not receive any supplements, but would ask them to return the original system, and it would be impossible to participate in the next battle.

Wang Guimin, the machine gun platoon and the officers and soldiers of the engineer platoon have now understood that the 62nd Division asked them to follow the supplementary regiment to operate, but was actually betrayed and used as cannon fodder. They have discussed it and are not ready to return to the 62nd Division.

Han Changgeng and Wang Guimin also expressed concerns about this, and they also hope that Gao Jiu can try to solve these problems.

Gao Jiu took out a bill of exchange from his pocket of clothes and handed it to Guan Lie, saying, "Your supplementary group will be responsible for the procurement of grain and other materials."

Guan Lie took the bill of exchange and said happily: "It's easy to deal with if you have money, and the material problem can be solved."

He thought that the money was brought to them by Gao Jiu from the Training Command, and said, "It's still Jiu Ye who has a way. The Training Command has never been so generous."

Qin Feng knew that the money was not paid by the editor and training headquarters at all. He said, "Captain Guan, you should thank Master Jiu. This money was paid by Master Jiu himself."

Guan Lie said in surprise: "Jiu Ye, how can the troops fight and you personally pay for money? This is not possible."

As he said that, he handed the bill back.

Gao Jiu did not reach out to answer, and said, "When is it? You can still distinguish it so clearly. Take it and use it quickly."

No one knew that at this time, except for the money Gao Jiu took out, the supplementary regiment and the troops of Han Changgeng, Wang Guimin and others had no way to solve the supply problem.

He said sincerely: "Jiu Master is just righteous in his work, so I'm not polite." As he said that, he handed over the bill to the adjutant beside him and asked him to go to Gaozhuang Town to purchase supplies immediately.

Gao Jiu turned his gaze to Qin Feng and said, "The matters about weapons and ammunition are the responsibility of you, the liaison officer in the war zone."

Qin Feng said with some embarrassment: "Jiu Master, this matter may not be easy to deal with. I can report to the War Zone Command and ask the War Zone Command to provide us with supplies.

However, the theater command has not set up a logistics station in this area, so it cannot directly supply us, and can only draw the supplies from the surrounding troops. Now the supplies of each unit are very tight, and they will definitely be very reluctant. Therefore, even if I report to the theater command, it is probably difficult for us to get supplies."

Speaking of this, he hesitated for a moment and said, "Master Jiu, I don't know whether it should be said or not?"

Gao Jiu said, "There are all my brothers here, but it doesn't matter."

Qin Feng said: "No one cares about our small army at all. The theater command has formulated a combat plan and has not included us. I asked the theater command for material replenishment, and the reason must be explained.

Jiu Ye, you have a great reputation and may affect the combat plan formulated by the War Zone Command." At this point, he stopped again.

Gao Jiu nodded without saying a word, looked at Qin Feng, encouraging him to continue talking.

Qin Feng said: "The War Zone Command will definitely consider the reinforcements to block the Japanese army. If we do not consider the existence of our troops, the War Zone Command will definitely mobilize troops to perform this task. If the existence of our troops is exposed now, since you are here, the War Zone Command will likely place hope on our troops, which will affect them to mobilize other troops to block the Japanese reinforcements. I am frank, our troops are now the main force of the supplementary regiment. With the training level and combat experience of the supplementary regiment, they cannot be the main force of blocking the Japanese reinforcements.

If this affects the entire battle deployment, we will definitely be guilty of being blamed, and your reputation may also be affected."

Qin Feng’s words make sense. Gao Jiu did not know much about the internal affairs of the Fifth War Zone as Qin Feng. He was out of good intentions to block the Japanese reinforcements, but he considered less in other aspects.

Guan Lie and others also felt that what Qin Feng said made sense. Some things are like this. If you help others do something with kindness and enthusiasm, you may not be able to get recognition from others, and you may be criticized.

Gao Jiu is a real man. He has a big view and will not look back on the front and back for personal interests. At the same time, he also has absolute confidence and can do something very beautifully. However, this time he thinks what Qin Feng said makes sense. They are now a very weak combat force, and they are really unsure of fighting head-on with the Japanese army. If the Fifth War Zone can mobilize the main force of the Guo Army to fight and block, they can beat and drum while playing, and they can better exert the power of Gao Jiu's guerrilla tactics.

He thought about it carefully and said, "I agree with your opinion. I will solve the problem of weapons and ammunition, don't worry! I can guarantee that there are too many weapons and ammunition, so there is no need to save ammunition when fighting."

Everyone believed Gao Jiu's ability very much. Now everyone had no doubts and went back to organize troops to prepare for departure.

Before the troops set off, Gao Jiu sent a telegram to Lin Yanni. After sending this telegram, he then sent a telegram to Director Li of the Intelligence Department of the Military Command Headquarters.

Wuhan, the Military Information Department of the Fifth War Zone.

The officers in the telecommunications room are usually on the rotation. Lin Yanni was afraid of missing Gao Jiu's telegram, so she insisted on being on duty every day and did not even leave the duty room when she even ate and slept.

Lin Yanni received a telegram. After she finished translating, she couldn't help but feel nervous and immediately handed the telegram to Director Feng.

After Director Feng received the telegram, his face looked ugly, and he hurriedly took the telegram to report to the Chief of Staff.

Shortly after Director Feng left, Lin Yanni received another telegram from Qin Feng. After she finished translating, she showed a look of joy on her face. She said to the duty officer in the telecommunications room: "I have something important to do. When the seat comes back, I will ask for a leave for me." After that, she hurriedly left the Fifth War Zone Command.

In the headquarters war room, the Chief of Staff and Deputy Chief of Staff stood in front of the Fifth War Zone combat map hanging on the wall, listening to the report of the Director of the Operations.

The Operations Director pointed to a hilly area southeast of Nanchang with a baton and said, "The 113th Japanese Infantry Regiment under Nanchang City, as well as the 106th Field Artillery Regiment, and one part of the 106th Engineer Regiment, have now been reduced to the Lianghezhuang area 33 kilometers southeast of Nanchang, and fortifications are being built with Lianghezhuang as the center.

Obviously, they learned that the Xinfeng River Bridge was bombed and the Japanese army realized that they were isolated and helpless, so they turned into a defensive situation and prepared to stand firm and wait for help.

According to the battle plan previously formulated by our army, the 58th Division of the 28th Army, the 57th Division, the 62nd Division of the 29th Army, the artillery regiment of the 85th Army, the 112th Division and other units have been mobilized. It is expected that the Japanese army in Nanchang will be encircled by 20 pm tomorrow.

The direction in which the Japanese army may send reinforcements is to cross the Xinfeng River from a highway bridge 240 kilometers downstream of the Xinfeng River Bridge. If the Japanese army wants to reach the city of Nanchang, they have to pass through the defense areas of the 52nd Army and the 85th Army, so they basically don’t have to consider it.

The second is to pass through the highway bridge 132 kilometers upstream of the Xinfeng River Bridge and pass through the Xinfeng River. The reinforcements of the 106th Division of the Japanese army set out from Jiujiang. It is expected that the Japanese army can pass through the Xinfeng River in two days, and the arrival of Nanchang will not exceed 5 days. We must send strong troops to block the attack to gain time to complete the entire battle plan to encircle and annihilate the Japanese army."

Speaking of this, he hesitated for a moment and said, "But the main force of our army in Nanchang has already participated in the battle to encircle and annihilate the Japanese army. Where can we draw reinforcements to block the enemy?"

The deputy chief of staff said: "The direction of the Japanese reinforcements, isn't there a troops of the 28th Army of the National Army stationed? Isn't it enough to hand over the task of blocking the Japanese reinforcements to them?"

The Operations Director shook his head with a wry smile and said, "There are indeed our troops there, but it happens to be the defense zone of the 62nd Division of the 28th Army. I am really worried about entrusting the task of blocking Japanese reinforcements to them."

The deputy chief of staff carefully looked at the situation charts between the enemy and us in the Nanchang area and said, "The route of Japanese reinforcements is really the defense area of ​​the 62nd Division. This is really a troublesome thing. I can't believe them, but now, there are no soldiers to send in the Nanchang area except them?"

The chief of staff frowned, stared at the map for a long time, turned around and said, "There is really no way to stop the Japanese reinforcements. The task of blocking the Japanese reinforcements can only be handed over to the 62nd Division to complete."

Speaking of this, he asked: "If the 62nd Division was cancelled to participate in the task of encircling and annihilation of the Japanese army under Nanchang City and let them fight and block with all their strength, how much impact will it have on the plan to encircle and annihilate the Japanese army?"

The Operations Director said: "There is little impact. After the order was issued to the 62nd Division, they had clearly stated that they would not participate in this combat plan. They wanted to use the main force of the troops to prevent the attack of the Japanese Third Division, and could only send the supplementary regiment that had not yet arrived, and their reinforcement company to participate in the Nanchang Campaign."

The chief of staff said angrily: "This damn Wu Tianming only knows how to preserve his strength. He is simply a profiteer. How could he be like an anti-Japanese soldier?"

The deputy chief of staff said: "It's good. Anyway, their main force has not been mobilized, so they will hand over the task of attacking and blocking. This time, we must explain the situation in detail to the Military Commission. If the Japanese army passes through the defense zone of the 62nd Division and meets the surrounded Japanese army, then they will be responsible for the failure of the entire battle."

The Chief of Staff said with a wry smile: "Even if this is the result, what will happen to them in the end?"

He knew very well that even if the 62nd Division caused the failure of the Nanchang Battle, someone would eventually speak for the 62nd Division, and the result would be that big things would be turned into small things, and small things would be turned into nothing, and it would be left alone.

Speaking of this, the Chief of Staff said helplessly: "There is no other way now. You can only ask the Military Commission to put pressure on them according to your opinions."

At this moment, Director Feng hurried in and handed the telegram in his hand directly to the Chief of Staff.

After receiving the telegram, the chief of staff frowned even more. He said, "The situation is too bad. The Japanese reinforcements were not only the troops of the 106th Division, but also the Japanese army of the 3rd Division.

The Japanese reinforcements had increased by a reinforcement wing than before, and the time they had crossed the Xinfeng River was one day ahead of schedule."

This unexpected news made everyone feel stressed, and everyone in the war room became nervous.

The Operations Director said: "The enemy's reinforcements have so many troops and come so quickly. I dare to conclude that the 62nd Division will definitely not be able to stop the Japanese reinforcements from attack.

Take a seat, do you think you have given up the combat plan to encircle and annihilate the Japanese army in Nanchang?”

The deputy chief of staff said: "Every troops have already begun to implement this plan and are almost always on the road. It is simply a mess to change orders every day."

The Operations Director said with some dissatisfaction: "This is also a helpless move. Who would have thought that the Japanese army would draw troops from the Third Division to reinforce. If we want to maintain the original combat plan, we must block the enemy reinforcements for at least one week. How can this be done?"

The Operations Director said the truth. The Japanese army's combat power was very strong, especially the Japanese Third Division, which was intimidatingly powerful.

The 3rd Japanese Division is one of the Japanese Army's standing main divisions. It was formed in Nagoya, Japan in 1884. It has two infantry brigades, totaling 4 infantry corps and cavalry, artillery, engineers, and logistics corps. The division has a total of more than 28,000 people, equipped with 12 Type 41 mountain cannons, 36 Type 38 field cannons, 12 37mm rapid-fire anti-tank cannons, and 12 light armored vehicles.

The 3rd Japanese Division participated in the Battle of Shanghai and Nanjing, with many results and its combat effectiveness far exceeded that of the 106th Japanese Division.

Facing such a powerful enemy, the 62nd Division, which only cares about preserving its strength, was expected to block the enemy, and asked them to hold on for a week, without any hope.

The Chief of Staff thought for a while and said, "If the enemy reinforcements are allowed to arrive, then you can only give up Nanchang. The main force on the Eastern Front retreats to the Dongling Defense Line, and the defensive situation in the Fifth War Zone will be more passive.

My opinion is to maintain the original combat plan, resolutely eliminate the isolated Japanese army under the city of Nanchang, and severely attack the arrogance of the Japanese invaders.

For reinforcements that blocked the Japanese invaders, our association requested the Military Commission to order the 62nd Division to take on the blocking task, to draw a reinforcement regiment from the 113th Division of the 85th Army to cooperate with the 62nd Division's operations."

"Agree." said the deputy chief of staff.

The Operations Director, Director Feng and others also agreed.

The Chief of Staff said: "Urgent the troops participating in the encirclement and annihilation of the Japanese army to speed up the marching speed, form an encirclement of the Japanese army as soon as possible, and resolutely eliminate the isolated Japanese army under the city of Nanchang."

"Yes." Everyone responded together. Then the war room became busy.

Intelligence Department of the Military Command Headquarters.

Director Li received a telegram from Gao Jiu and said with a smile: "Brother Gao is rare to speak. I must help you with this."

Lin Yanni did not go home, so she went directly to the military command and walked into her father Lin Wenhan's office.

"Yanni, why are you here?" Lin Wenhan was reviewing the documents. When he saw Lin Yanni, he asked curiously.

Lin Yanni said affectionately: "Dad, I'm here to see you."
