This battle is not a small fight.

It’s not as simple as bombing a Japanese man’s artillery tower and fighting a Japanese man’s team.

It was all about large corps combat.

A head-on contest.

What they have to face is the large-scale attacks of the Japanese aircraft, tanks, heavy artillery, and established divisions, brigades and wings.

If you are not mentally prepared, you can easily be deceived by the Japanese's combat power.

Li Lei, Li Yunlong and Chu Yunfei discussed it for a long time.

He told Li Yunlong and Chu Yunfei to be mentally prepared.

This time when they head south, their regiment will definitely suffer a lot of casualties.

The old bald man spent a lot of money to fight.

After communication, he allocated a lot of weapons to the three regiments heading south.

When you arrive in Hunan, just look for the New Fourth Army directly.

That batch of weapons has been transported to the New Fourth Army.

Three groups are going south.

The boss only had one request to Li Lei and the other three, and he must come back alive.

"salute!!!"

The train slowly started.

The boss looked at the train leaving, tears streaming down his eyes.

Two days later, the three groups arrived in Nanchang.

Nanchang?

As soon as he got off the train, Li Lei and the others were confused.

Isn't it Hunan?

Why did you come to Nanchang?

What's going on?

The director of a communications office of the New Fourth Army came to pick up the station.

The director's surname is Peng.

Very real person.

He said to Li Lei and the other three: "Because something urgent is happening, I did not notify you in advance.

According to the latest orders of this battle, our First Division of the New Fourth Army will temporarily guard Nanchang."

Of course, the troops guarding Nanchang were not only the First Division, but also the troops of the Sixtyth Army of the Central Army.

If the Japanese army wants to attack Changsha, Hunan, they will definitely attack Nanchang.

Nanchang is an important barrier to Changsha.

After taking Nanchang and attacking Changsha, there was a springboard.

It is very necessary to deploy troops here now.

Li Lei frowned and felt a little worried.

If Wuhan is in the hands of the Central Army, it is possible to defend Nanchang.

But Wuhan is lost now.

If you defend Nanchang, you can basically not be able to defend it.

During the war to defend Wuhan some time ago, the old bald man carried out a so-called strategic retreat.

He gave Wuhan to the Japanese army.

He saved his Huangpu army.

However, Wuhan's loss made the nation's determination to fight Japan instantly drop to the location.

The entire anti-Japanese war was covered with a shadow.

Wuhan is a military center.

And heavy industry is very developed.

Many arsenals are there.

There are also a large amount of military supplies.

Moreover, Wuhan has transportation north and south, and its transportation location is very important.

A large amount of military and civilian supplies must pass through Wuhan.

Once Wuhan falls, it will have a great impact on the whole country.

A large amount of supplies came to the hands of the Japanese army.

Originally, the old bald person was learning from the Russians back then and had a scorched earth policy.

However, Lao Chen, who was commanding the Wuhan Battle at that time, did not agree.

Burning Wuhan!

Without some cruelty, I really can't do it.

Lao Chen did not do this, which made the old bald man very dissatisfied.

Always begging for the sake of grudges.

The 11th Japanese Army Command is now located in Wuhan.

Commander Okamura Yasuji was there.

Although he captured Wuhan, his troops suffered heavy casualties.

And very tired.

We need to replenish our troops and we also need to rest and recuperate.

So to now, although the Japanese army has been eyeing Hunan, it has not attacked due to the above reasons.

Moreover, at this moment, the Japanese base camp has also undergone certain strategic changes.

Because the Chinese battlefield involved a large number of Japanese troops, it was difficult to implement the Japanese plan to go south to Southeast Asia.

Moreover, the current Japanese army is very worried that the country will cut off their maritime supply line.

They are actively formulating combat plans against the country.

At the same time, the situation in Japan is deteriorating.

The war consumed a large amount of their strategic supplies.

Despite years of hard work, Japan's economic strength has grown greatly.

But as a country with scarce resources.

Their stocks are simply not enough.

Now their supplies are obviously inadequate.

On average, each person in Japan has less than half a kilogram of food per day.

If this continues, Japan will soon collapse.

Therefore, Japanese cabinet members have great differences on the issue of war.

Some oppose the launch of large-scale battles.

That will only make it worse for Japan.

In the stalemate, the Japanese troops could only temporarily remain stationary.

This gave Hunan time to breathe.

During the Battle of Wuhan, many troops retreated to Hunan.

These troops need rest.

Need to restore morale.

There are also some troops who have just arrived at the designated location and have not had time to build the positions.

If the Japanese army attacks now, the consequences will be unimaginable.

At this moment, the commander-in-chief of the Changsha Battle was sitting at the headquarters, frowned and looked at the huge sand table in the war room.

The sand table is very large.

Fifteen meters long and ten meters wide.

The entire Hunan area is here.

The Japanese army's plaster flags and the Central Army's blue sky and white sun flags were densely packed.

He is conducting war deduction.

As a general who is very good at fighting, he knows a lot about the Japanese attack method.
