"Not interested" Let the guerrilla captain who claimed to be surnamed Li say anything, Tang Cheng, who was bored and smoking, only replied with three words that he was not interested. Speaking of which, this whole thing is full of weirdness, this group of guerrillas first inquired about themselves in Longgang Town, and then ambushed Hou San and Wu Laosan in the middle of the road, and then used bullets to test themselves, and finally actually asked for help from themselves, this kind of thing came out of the mouths of people who claimed to be guerrillas, Tang Cheng did not believe it at all.

"Company Commander Tang, what do I have to say to believe it? More than 100 villagers are now being driven away by a Japanese army in the direction of Xiushui, and if we don't save them, those villagers will probably be harmed by the Japanese army. Company Commander Tang, I know that you are a conscientious Chinese, you are an officer, and you are a devil-fighting man, can you bear to watch more than 100 villagers die at the hands of little devils? Li Changshun looked at Tang Cheng with a blank eye, but the latter still had a face that he didn't want to deal with, and Li Changshun's heart was half cold.

Li Changshun's intelligence officers stayed in Longgang Town for not a day or two, and the information about Tang Cheng was also inquired about by his intelligence officers from the mouths of those Sichuan troops in Longgang Town, and learned that Tang Cheng was already a company commander of the national army at a young age, and Li Changshun's first impression was that Tang Cheng was a guy who could only retreat and not fight, just like other national troops. But when he heard that Tang Cheng crossed the Fushui River with 100 Sichuan troops to find the Japanese army to fight, Li Changshun immediately changed his opinion of Tang Cheng, which was why he turned to Tang Cheng for help.

Turning to Tang Cheng for help, Li Changshun was originally full of confidence, he felt that Tang Cheng, a national army officer who took the initiative to find the Japanese army to fight, was definitely not a cold-blooded person, but it turned out that he was wrong, and Tang Cheng didn't care about himself at all. "Since Company Commander Tang can't be saved when he sees death, then we can only say goodbye, I hope Company Commander Tang doesn't regret it." Although Li Changshun had already made up his mind to leave, he was still a little unwilling before leaving, and he still thought that Tang Cheng would change his mind.

"Walk slowly, don't send." Li Changshun's expectations were obviously disappointed again, and when he heard that he was leaving, Tang Cheng just said a faint polite word, and then did not react. Sighing secretly, Li Changshun had no choice but to leave with his guerrillas, but Tang Cheng didn't want to detain the guerrillas' weapons, so he signaled Li Shishi to return all the weapons and ammunition to the guerrillas. Li Changshun disappeared into the field with his subordinates, Tangcheng and they continued on the road, Hou San and Wu Laosan, who took back their weapons, were somewhat depressed, and were said a few words by Lao Dongbei, and the two continued to go forward to serve as scouts for the way.

Back on the road, Tang Cheng and Lao Dongbei seemed to have completely forgotten about the guerrillas who had just appeared, and also forgot what the guerrillas stopped Hou San and Wu Laosan for. "We really don't care about the ordinary people who were captured by the little devils?" Tang Cheng didn't think about forgetting the guerrillas who had just left, but he didn't expect that the person who asked the question would be Ma Fatzi. Ma Fatzi, who was born in the Imperial Army, made a good meal, but he was a little timid, and Ma Fatzi suddenly worried about the people who the guerrillas said, which was indeed out of Tang Cheng's expectations, and he thought that it would be Tan Fei who asked about it first.

Tan Fei, who has always been nicknamed by Tang Cheng as glasses, is an outlier, not only can he read and break words, but Tan Fei is also a college student, among these big bosses on Tang Cheng's side, Tan Fei is extraordinary. "What do you know, the person surnamed Li just said that there are more than 100 little devils, how many of us are there, even counting the garlic of the guerrillas, we are less than half of the number of people, just this point of people to find the little devils to fight hard, not to die in vain." Seeing that Lao Northeast had already frowned, Liu Shishi hurriedly opened his mouth first, so that Lao Northeast would not teach Ma Fat Man a lesson about this matter.

"Let's all save some energy, which of you can guarantee that we won't meet the Japanese army halfway, so let's keep our strength to fight devils." Lao Dongbei first squinted at Liu Shishi, who was smiling at him, and then glanced at Tang Cheng, who was still lying on his back. Tang Cheng is wandering out of the world at the moment, and he doesn't know about the eyebrows between Liu Shishi and Lao Dongbei, even if Tang Cheng sees it, he won't say much.

The night before leaving Longgang Town, Tang Cheng went to Zhang Leshan's headquarters alone, and although the troops of the Sichuan Army were not welcomed by the government, the 30th Army was still able to get a lot of information about the current situation. Zhang Leshan's infantry regiment is a unit subordinate to the 30th Army, and his command will naturally have a lot of information that Tang Cheng is interested in, and what is related to the current situation is what Tang Chengzui is interested in, especially those related to the south.

Since Tang Cheng left Wuhan, he went directly to Xiaojieling, and Xiaojieling fled all the way south. promised Zhang Leshan to help him get weapons and ammunition, Tang Cheng's original intention was to befriend Zhang Leshan, and then get information about the current situation from Zhang Leshan.

After the Battle of Wuhan, the Japanese mainland divided the tasks of the Japanese troops stationed in China, and they prepared to implement partition and rule in the occupied areas. The Japanese 11th Army stationed in the Wuhan area actually became the only Japanese army unit to carry out a field attack on China, forming a confrontation with the main force of the Nationalist Army in Hunan and the surrounding Jiangxi and Guangxi regions of China holding the rear of the southwest, and constantly seeking opportunities to attack, in an attempt to force the Chongqing Nationalist Government to surrender by military strikes in coordination with the Japanese government's strategy of inducing surrender. According to the information provided by Zhang Leshan, the Japanese army conducted several large-scale battles in the above-mentioned areas, during which the Japanese army adopted the policy of attacking as defending, preemptively attacking, and breaking through in various ways to force the Nationalist troops to continue to retreat southward.

Nanchang is the capital of Jiangxi Province, located in the south of the Jiujiang River, between the Ganjiang River and Poyang Lake, and adjacent to the Zhejiang-Jiangxi Railway in the south. After the Battle of Wuhan, the Nationalist Government formed an encirclement posture in Wuhan with heavy troops in the 9th and 5th theaters in the north and south of the Yangtze River. The strategic position of the Nanchang area is even more prominent, not only covering the strategic transportation line connecting the 3rd and 9th theaters, that is, the Zhejiang-Jiangxi Railway, but also being a strategic base for the Chinese side to gather heavy troops, posing a heavy threat to the Japanese army. There was also an airfield in Nanchang, and the planes of the Nationalist army often went to the Yangtze River to bomb Japanese ships, so the Japanese army was the first to attack Nanchang.

In late October 38, the Nationalist army was already systematically withdrawing from Wuhan, but nearly 90 divisions of troops were still deployed around Wuhan. To the west and north of Wuhan are 34 infantry divisions, 13 armies, 1 cavalry division and 1 cavalry brigade of 6 group armies in the Fifth Theater of the Fifth Theater under Li Zongren, which are deployed in the vast areas of western Anhui, southern Henan, southern Hunan, and northwest Hubei; To the south and east of Wuhan are the 52 infantry divisions of 21 armies of 8 group armies in the Ninth Theater of Xue Yue's command, which are deployed in key areas of northwest Jiangxi, southern Hunan, and Hunan. In addition, there are a number of special forces and local guerrilla units in the two theaters. The above forces constitute an encirclement posture against Wuhan. To the east of the Ninth Theater, there are 22 infantry divisions and 2 infantry brigades of the 4 group armies of the 3rd Theater under Gu Zhutong's department, which can respond to each other with the Ninth Theater.

On the contrary, in order to consolidate the occupation of Wuhan and secure the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, the Japanese 11th Army was stationed in Wuhan, with a total of 7 divisions and 2 independent mixed brigades in its sequence, which had more mobile forces than other districts and armies, and was the main force that continued to strike at China's frontal battlefield. The Japanese army's operational area is generally maintained in the area between Anqing, Xinyang, Yueyang, and Nanchang with Wuhan as the center and adjacent key points.

Nanchang is the capital of Jiangxi Province, the meeting point of the Nanxun Railway and the Zhejiang-Jiangxi Railway, and the hub of the rear liaison and supply lines of China's Ninth and Third Theaters, and has an important strategic position. Based at Nanchang Airport, the Chinese Air Force often attacked Japanese naval vessels sailing in the Yangtze River near Jiujiang, posing a great threat to the rear supply lines of the Japanese forces in Jiujiang and Wuhan.

Tang Cheng went to Zhang Leshan just to understand some of the current movements and arrangements of the Japanese army, and the news that the Japanese army was about to occupy Nanchang was told to Tang Cheng by Zhang Leshan, Zhang Leshan did not know that Tang Cheng had realized the situation of Nanchang from the loss of Jiujiang, otherwise Tang Cheng would not have to go south to Changsha. The information provided by Zhang Leshan was not related to the 88th Division, and Tang Cheng could not find the whereabouts of the 88th Division from the information provided by Zhang Leshan, he only knew that Wuhan had been lost, and the Japanese army was about to attack Nanchang.

The Japanese map captured from the Japanese army had already been turned over by Tang Cheng, so Tang Cheng knew very well where Nanchang was, and a large number of troops of the Nationalist Army were now gathering in the Nanchang area. According to the information provided by Zhang Leshan, troops of the 73rd Army of the National Army have been stationed on the horizontal road north of Xiushui, and along the south bank of Xiushui, there are several units of the 49th Army, 70th Army, and 78th Army of the National Army, and the 8th Army of the National Army has been stationed in Wuning City. The national army mobilized so many troops to defend Nanchang, so that Tang Cheng saw the guarantee that he would go south to Changsha by repairing the water, at least the repairing water is now safe.

They didn't know that Tang Cheng was worried about the current situation, and they didn't know that Tang Cheng refused the guerrillas' request for help in order to cross the Xiushui as far south as possible. Tang Cheng is not very at ease with the defense line of the national army, when Wuhan, the national army gathered more troops than now, and the result is not the same as the Japanese army occupied Wuhan, Tang Cheng is now thinking about pulling to Changsha as soon as possible, as for what happened after Changsha, how can he make a decision now.

The cart stopped in the imagination of Tang City, and the old Northeast who jumped out of the cart did not look very good, and several corpses appeared in the field on the side of the road, looking at the appearance of the corpses, they should all be ordinary people, and the old Northeast was just surprised that they were all young and strong.
