War of Resistance

Chapter 134
Severe cases must be treated with strong medicine.

Fang Ren used the most direct method to provoke Ruan Zhaochang, directly talking about the loss of the 69th Army in one day. I believe that any man with backbone will not be able to help but get angry.

But in the face of Fang Ren's truth, can Ruan Zhaochang refute it?He couldn't, because this is the fact that the 36th Division fought in Songhu for two months and did not lose its position. On the contrary, it was his 69th Army that lost the strategically important Dachang as soon as it entered the battlefield.

Ruan Zhaochang was born in the old Beiyang. Although he also held an important position in Beiyang when he was young-the chief of staff of the frontier army, but that was the Beiyang era, and now it is the era of Lao Jiang. Born in the direct line of Whampoa.

Regarding the identity of the 69th Army, Ruan Zhaochang has always been very clear in his heart: this is a miscellaneous army in the Central Army!

The outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, and then serving as the commander of the first army to command the battle, is undoubtedly an opportunity for Ruan Zhaochang, an old Beiyang. It is undoubtedly a great blow to give them the 69th Army a dismount, and lose a big game in one day.

All in all, Ruan Zhaochang was very interested in regaining Dachang, whether it was for his own future or the reputation of the faction from the old Beiyang, it was a must.

"Mr. Ruan, thank you for your trust in our 36th Division!" Fang Ren stood at attention and saluted.

Ruan Zhaochang's face sank like water, and he said heavily: "It can't be said that I trust you in the 36th Division. We are Chinese soldiers first. However, this big battle is not so easy to win. You know the combat effectiveness of the Japanese army. Do you know what your army intends to do? What role does the 69th Army need to play in it?"

Ruan Zhaochang is not that kind of impulsive person either. He has been able to become the leader of the National Revolutionary Army from a Beiyang general. He still has some housekeeping skills. After all, if he is not an old fox, he may not live today.

If the Japanese army wants to fight, the key is to see how to fight. The fighting power of the devils is not covered.But we can't fight until the end to make wedding dresses for friendly troops.

"Officer Ruan doesn't have to worry about this point. The devils have been fighting us for more than two months. We know how powerful they are. It is impossible for the brothers of the 69th Army to risk their lives in vain." Fang Ren said confidently.

"Okay, it's enough with your words. Let's get to the point, how do we want our 69th Army to fight?" Ruan Zhaochang's eyes were fixed on Fang Ren, and as long as the latter showed any abnormality, he would pull Fang Ren out They were shot—during the war, apart from airplanes and cannons, spies were even more terrifying!
After hearing Ruan Zhaochang's order, Fang Ren walked to the military map generously, picked up a pencil under the dim oil lamp, and pointed to Dachang, Xiaoji, and Suzhou Creek.

Fang Ren propped his left hand on the table, and pointed at the three points with the front of his right hand: "Look, Mr. Ruan, this is Dachang. There is an inconspicuous small place three kilometers southwest of Dachang. This place is called Xiaoji. Two kilometers to the south of Xiaoji is the Suzhou Creek, and my 36th Division's position is on the south bank of the Suzhou River. The Suzhou Creek is neither big nor small. If the Japanese army wants to take the south bank of the Suzhou River, at this time We will definitely send troops to the north bank of the Suzhou River. Then the north bank of the Suzhou River, Xiaoji, and Dachang will form a straight line, and it will be a prominent straight line!"

In the middle of speaking, Fang Ren paused, looked at Ruan Zhaochang's face, and found that there was nothing abnormal in the latter's face before continuing: "According to the general situation, the Japanese army invaded from the north from Baoshan and Luodian, and from the south from the south. The strategic goal of landing in the Hangzhou Bay and Jiangwan areas is undoubtedly the entire main force of our army in the Songhu area. The Japanese army facing us is undoubtedly the sharp knife in the southward tongs. If we want to continue to break through the Suzhou Creek and continue to advance, Then Dachang and the north bank of the Suzhou River will be the most important. The No.13 Division of the Japanese Army has fought our army many times since it landed and participated in the war. The casualties should not be small. Therefore, we judge that there should be only one regiment on Dachang. At least one brigade will be stationed on the north bank of the Suzhou River."

"According to what you said, the Japanese army hoarded so many troops here that there might not be a brigade. How can you be sure that you can eat them?" In today's battle, while losing the big field, you also found the gap between yourself and the Japanese army .

"Mr. Ruan, don't worry. The reason why the Japanese army is so powerful is not only that their equipment is better than ours, but more importantly, they have the joint artillery support of the three armies. But it is night, and the advantage of their joint artillery support is It can be reduced to the lowest level! As long as our 36th Division can gain the upper hand on the battlefield on the north bank of the Suzhou River, then the enemy in the big field will definitely be dispatched, and there should be no shortage of troops. Maybe we will suffer if the battlefield is placed in the big field, but in this field It's not necessarily an ambush." ​​Fang Ren snorted softly.

Ruan Zhaochang pondered for a while, and then said viciously: "Yes, I don't believe it, they are all born by parents, I don't believe that these little devils are still so crazy without airplanes and cannons?"

"Yes, that's right. Without the support of aircraft and artillery, and this time at night, the little devil's combat effectiveness is just the same." Fang Ren played a rare trick, and the Japanese army's marksmanship and bayonet skills are also quite powerful.

"Well... this is also the time when the gap between us and the Japanese army is the smallest. You want us to play a small set and then draw out the Japanese army in a big field?" Ruan Zhaochang looked at Fang Ren.

"No, in that case you will be under too much pressure." Fang Ren paused, "Your army only needs to set up an ambush position in the northeast of Dachang. The Japanese army will be handed over to us. I believe you know how to fight next, Commander Ruan, right?"

Ruan Zhaochang thought for a moment and said, "Okay, no problem. We can take back Dachang, and you can also defend Suzhou Creek. It's good for everyone, that's fine."

A "negotiation" cooperation was completed, but no one knew that when Fang Ren walked out of the headquarters of the 69th Army, his back was already soaked in cold sweat. He came to the 36th Army in the name of Chief Song of the 69th Division. If it is revealed, or if Zhang Tianhai's actions fail, they and Hu Jiaji's gang will all go to court-martial!

"Zhang Yulin, I hope you won't let us all be shot!" Fang Ren whispered softly.

PS: Well, I updated again.I didn't expect that either.
