Early the next morning, on a hillside less than five kilometers from Nanchang. Lieutenant General Shinichi Tanaka, commander of the 104th Division of the Japanese Army, was observing the terrain through a telescope with a group of Japanese generals and staff officers, and behind him was the chief of staff, Major General Sato Matazaburo.

Yesterday evening, they had arrived here and successfully encircled Nanchang, and the Japanese troops at the foot of the mountain dug a defensive trench overnight, which stretched for several miles, and could not see the edge at a glance. As a high-ranking general of the Japanese army, Lieutenant General Shinichi Tanaka certainly knew Jiang Haoran's terror, the imperial troops had already suffered too many losses on him, so he had to be cautious, and as soon as the troops were stationed, he ordered the troops to turn to the defense. Of course, this perfect fortification is also a fine tradition of their imperial divisions, whether it is offensive or defensive, or even a rout, the soldiers will build perfect fortifications as soon as they have time, which is also their magic weapon for victory, and they will not rush into battle under any circumstances. At the same time, this is also the best way to prevent Jiang Haoran's snow wolf special forces from sneak attack.

Putting down the binoculars, Lieutenant General Shinichi Tanaka looked at the direction of Nanchang filled with smoke, with a suspicious face, as if he said to himself: "Could it be that Jiang Haoran has really withdrawn from Nanchang and broken through from the north gate?" ”

Last night, Fengxin reported the news that Jiang Haoran's troops were attacking the defensive line with all their might, and according to the firepower, it should not be less than one brigade. Jiang Haoran's two divisions fought fiercely with the Ninth Division of the Imperial Army for several days, although the Ninth Division was ultimately defeated, but their casualties were definitely not small. But Tanaka Shinichi always felt that there was something wrong here, with Jiang Haoran's cunning and changeability, how could he give up the only Nanchang City that could hold on to the rescue, and run dozens of kilometers overnight to break through from the front line of Fengxin? It is impossible for him not to know that Fengxin is heavily guarded, and once the breakthrough is blocked, all that awaits him is to be destroyed, will he do this? Apparently unlikely. Tanaka Shinichi prefers to believe that Jiang Haoran is attacking the west, and the direction of the breakthrough is not Gao'an in the west, it is them here, but after waiting all night, he didn't see a single ghost, and he was so tired that the soldiers were choking one by one, so now it also made him a little less confident.

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, my subordinates feel that we should attack, it seems that Nanchang has really become an empty city, Jiang Haoran laid this smoke in order to play tricks, so as to prevent the progress of the imperial army entering the city, and also to buy time for them to successfully escape. If we are successfully deceived by him, we will really become a big laughing stock for the imperial army. Tanaka Shinichi's chief of staff, Sato Mataburo, said.

Tanaka Shimochi looked at the sky, this smoke and clouds were thick, and it was estimated that the aircraft aerial reconnaissance could not see anything famous, and after thinking about it for a long time, he also felt that what Sato Matasaburo said was reasonable, but he still ordered a squad of imperial troops to bring the air flag soldiers and take a look at the city first, and a wing of infantry followed. After all, I don't know if there are people in this city, and it's not good to bombard with shells, the imperial army can't afford to waste it, not to mention, if it's really just an empty city, it will also make people feel that the imperial army is really frightened by Jiang Haoran, and he doesn't even dare to go in the place where he has stayed, and he has to use cannons to open the way.

In Nanchang City, Jiang Haoran also got up early, wandering around the various fortifications, the night of "fierce fighting" did not make him look tired, the city wall, the hillside, and the river jumped up and down everywhere, scolding this and knocking that, and the spirit was very good. But Leng Rushuang who followed him was very uncomfortable, this first-time woman, always made her feel that everyone looked at her eyes with deep meaning, and inexplicably her face would turn red, so that the Mei sisters who didn't know the situation always innocently asked her if there was anything uncomfortable, whether she wanted to ask the military commander for a leave of absence to rest, which made Leng Rushuang even more embarrassing, and always suspected that the Mei sisters intended to do this.

When it was almost ten o'clock, Chu Zhongtian and Su Canwen finally came back, Jiang Haoran finally sighed, the artillery battalion and the men and horses of that regiment returned to Nanchang early in the morning, always making him worry that they would not be able to get out. Seeing that they couldn't help but be overjoyed, and the plane had not appeared in the sky over Nanchang until now, Jiang Haoran knew that they had really done it.

Sure enough, Chu Zhongtian told Jiang Haoran that the devils had dispatched at least forty or fifty fighters and bombers, and in the suspicious array they had laid out, they dropped at least several tons of bombs, and the machine guns swept the entire mountain, and it was estimated that the devils should be dumbfounded at this time.

Seeing their eyebrows fluttering and saying, Jiang Haoran couldn't help but be happy, just about to let them go back to rest and replenish their bodies, who knew that there was a call from the walkie-talkie, and Li Zhihua, the garrison brigade commander at the south gate, told Jiang Haoran that a devil squad was found in front of them, and it was touching them, it was estimated that they were the devil's spearheads, and there was no devil's brigade behind them for the time being, and asked Jiang Haoran if he wanted to eliminate them first.

Jiang Haoran ordered them to immediately and silently withdraw from the defensive position, let this group of devils enter the city, and try to eliminate them silently, these devils must be followed by a large army, if the number is not large, you can consider tricking them all into the city, and eliminate them a little first.

After arranging Li Zhihua, Jiang Haoran ordered the assault battalion to go back to rest quickly, and said to Chu Zhongtian and them: "No way, it's not that I won't let you sleep, it's the devils who fucking harm you, you have to go to fight this kind of raid battle, after beating this group of devils, you hurry back to the air-raid shelter to rest!" ”

"Hehe, that's! Just wait for our good news! Brothers, go! Chu Zhongtian replied coaxingly, and then waved his hand, and more than a hundred people left quickly.

Jiang Haoran watched them leave, and only then did he inform the troops to pay attention to concealment and not make a sound, the devils had already begun to attack. Immediately, he called the walkie-talkie and ordered the telecommunications room of the headquarters to quickly contact Xu Biao, Zhuang Yingying, and Zhuang Fuguo to see how they were preparing and when they could launch an attack on the Japanese army in Gao'an, and at the same time ordered Zhuang Yingying that if Xu Biao arrived, all troops must obey Xu Biao's command and not act without authorization.

There is no doubt that others will obey Xu Biao's command, after all, Xu Biao is already a major general and division commander, which is a lot higher than several regiment commanders, the question is that the current two captains and deputy commanders of this cavalry regiment used to be Zhuang Yingying's people, don't look at Zhuang Yingying is just hanging a false title of supervisor, but she has a supreme position in the cavalry regiment, plus Jiang Haoran usually does not have a constraint on her, so she took the cavalry regiment out of the defense area lightly, and he was afraid that once the war in Gao'an was unfavorable, Zhuang Yingying will lead the cavalry regiment to rush in again, this is a tough battle in the city, but it is not a cavalry that is easy to charge, and it is possible to be destroyed if he is not careful, so he has to explain.
