南昌北邻长江、鄱阳湖,南邻浙赣铁路,扼湘、鄂、皖、粤等省水陆要冲,历来就是南北转运的重要战略中枢。尤为关键的是,南昌拥有当时亚洲最大的空军机场——南昌三家店机场,中国空军经常从这里起飞袭击在长江中巡弋的日军舰艇。因而武汉沦陷后,侵华日寇紧接着便把南昌视为了主攻目标。 Nanchang North adjacent to the Yangtze River, Poyang Lake, south of Zhejiang-Jiangxi Railway, the only Hunan, Hubei, Anhui, Guangdong and other provinces, has always been an important strategic hub north-south transit. Particularly important, Nanchang owns the airport of Nanchang Sanyjiandi Airport, the largest air force airport in Asia at that time, and the Chinese Air Force often took off from this and attacked Japanese warships cruising along the Yangtze River. Thus, after the fall of Wuhan, the invasion of China and the Japanese aggression followed Nanchang as the main target.
