Rise from eight hundred.

Chapter 222 The Big Stick Plan
In the extreme exhaustion, the private first fell asleep again.

Tantai Mingyue sent out her battlefield news articles overnight, telling about the battlefield that broke out at the forefront of Jinshanwei and no one knew about it.

Although there, in fact, big crosses have already been drawn on the map by big shots.

The defenders there have been regarded as abandoned children since the military order was issued.

All their functions were to stop the Japanese army for an hour or a quarter of an hour.

Including Songjiang, the so-called time limit of three days and nights is actually just a scale drawn by the big shots on the timeline they can accept. As for whether the defenders were wiped out before three days and nights, that is not their opinion. I can control it.

Their only hope is for these abandoned children to play some role and let them get back their money as much as possible.

The hundreds of thousands of troops that are retreating frantically are the strength for them to maintain their authority.

However, no one thought that even an abandoned child would have his own stubbornness.

Only Jinshanwei defended with no more than 2000 people, and it held back the Japanese Tenth Army for twelve hours.

When the Songjiang headquarters passed this information to the brightly lit theater headquarters, the livid-faced generals all heaved a sigh of relief.

The main force of the Tenth Army of the Japanese Army was still in the Jinshanwei area. The 67th Army and the 43rd Army even made a guarantee that they would guard until the night of the 9th.

In this way, there are still 96 hours left.

According to the battle situation of Jinshanwei, the combat power of the Tenth Army of the Japanese Army was not as powerful as imagined. 2000 people resisted for 12 hours. The 67th Army, the 43rd Army and the Songjiang Security Regiment exceeded 3 people, and it was delayed for two or three days. By no means impossible.

Thinking about it this way, the old men seem to be doing it again.

A series of military orders were issued overnight, strictly stipulating the retreat time of the frontline departments. Although it was not enough to reinvigorate the army whose morale had been slackened, compared with the previous ones, they had to ignore it and even rushed forward with the machine guns of the law enforcement forces in the theater. The panic on Dalu was much stronger.

It's not that the army commanders don't know the evil consequences that once the road is blocked, the big guys will be completely finished. It's just that under the crisis, no one wants to be the last one. Now that there is almost a day more time suddenly, they feel more at ease.

The wounded soldiers who were about to be discarded by the roadside were carried up again by many battalions.

It can be said that the battle report sent by Qiang Sanwa, a senior soldier who almost escaped to death, could not save the crisis, but saved the lives of at least [-] wounded soldiers. All the ink is in Jinshan County.

After the Songjiang command sent a telegram to the theater command, under the command and coordination of the two lieutenant generals and the staff headed by Tang Dao, they used the rare twelve hours to redeploy the battle plan.

Under Tang Dao's suggestion, the first order was issued to the cavalry units. They need to return to Songjiang City and carry a temporary artillery battalion consisting of large-caliber mortars, 37mm rapid-fire guns, 20mm machine guns, and gunners. , along both sides of the Huangpu River, to find a suitable ambush location.

Their target was the Japanese fleet that would surely go down the Huangpu River overnight.

The naval gun of the ship is powerful, but it needs enough shooting angle and range, and the curved gun of the mortar, hiding behind the hills, it is not too pleasant to use them.

Although the armor-piercing power of the mortar is small, it can't blow up a light destroyer with thick armor, but it is still possible to beat him to blood. If you encounter small gunboats, rapid-fire guns and machine guns are the most suitable for dealing with them.

If they dared to let the infantry land, the strength of six cavalry connected to a reinforced infantry battalion would definitely cause the Japanese army to fall hard.

Even if the Japanese infantry was beyond imagination, the cavalry just took the artillery and ran away.

In short, Tang Dao's strategy for making this suggestion is to make it difficult for you, and you have to pay a price for every step forward.

What's more, it is not Tang Dao's original creation to use ground artillery to attack ships located in the river. In the past, the army that was about to cross the river in time and space did this. .

Although the two lieutenant generals had some doubts about Tang Dao's somewhat adventurous initiative, they were finally persuaded by Tang Dao.

The Huangpu River is less than ten kilometers away from Songjiang, and most of Songjiang City is within the range of the large-caliber naval guns equipped by Japanese ships. ability to resist.

If a shell hits, it is very likely that an infantry line will be finished.

Instead of waiting to be bombarded by Japanese ships like this, it is better to follow Tang Dao's idea and give it a go. Before the main force of the Japanese army arrives, give a blow to the ships going down the Huangpu River first.

Tang Dao's battle plan is codenamed 'Big Stick'.

If this stick is hit well, the Japanese ships will naturally not dare to be unscrupulous, and the threat Songjiang faces will be correspondingly reduced.

It can't be done, the worst result is that six cavalry companies and some artillery suffered heavy losses, more than 30,000 people died here, are you afraid of this?
This means that the two of them have already embraced the heart of fighting for their lives. If the two armies were evenly matched, the two lieutenant generals would never make such a risky move.

They are soldiers, not gamblers, and they will never bet lightly on turning bicycles into motorcycles.

Fortunately, Tang Dao convinced them, and he was also relieved.

In the past time and space, the Huangpu River was not peaceful and let the Japanese light destroyers wreak havoc.

China's already small air force was dispatched in this battle, and a warship was severely damaged by bombing, but dozens of Japanese naval fighter planes came from dozens of kilometers away, and the Chinese air force was hit hard again.

In the battle of Songhu, the 700,000 elite Chinese army fought bravely and tenaciously, but among all the troops participating in the battle, they were actually not the most heroic group.

The most heroic group is also the weakest group.

Chinese Air Force.

It was the first military service in China to withdraw from the war.

With 300 vs. 2000, and the backward Hawker III vs. the [-] fighters, which were clearly ahead of the Japanese army, in less than a month and a half, the Chinese warhawks were almost no longer seen in the sky above Songhu.

Not retreating, but almost annihilating the entire army.

Those fighters who were born in a famous family have arduously fulfilled the school motto of Hangzhou Miqiao Aviation School with the feat of spilling blood into the sky: Our bodies, planes and bombs should perish together with the enemy's warship positions.

Perhaps, that is the most unique school in the world. The purpose of its school motto is to teach its students to die. May I ask, is there a second such school in the world?

No, throughout human history, there has never been.

But he really existed, and he existed in the most turbulent and greatest era in China. The students in that school did not disappoint their alma mater.

During the Great Patriotic War, a total of 4321 Air Force fighters across the country died in the sky, and as many as 1700 were from that school.

Their graduation photo will always stand in front of the school motto monument that made them die.Then, without hesitation, embarked on the journey, embarking on the road that will never return.

Those who can control aircraft must have received higher education. They could have done a job that would never be too tiring with their good family background and their good talents, but those people still choose to be the ones with the highest death rate in battle. warrior.

They died, but Tang Dao remembered them.

He didn't want these remaining flames to come to Songjiang to die. Their airport had been moved [-] kilometers away, but Songjiang was less than [-] kilometers away from the Japanese aircraft carrier parked on the sea.

Therefore, he had to kill those guys who were running rampant in the river first.

In addition to sending the most mobile cavalry to fight the ambush of the Japanese light ships, the two lieutenant generals also issued a military order for the entire army to rest for four hours.

Since Tang Dao led the team to arrive, they have already started to build fortifications. It has been as long as 16 hours, but many soldiers have rested for less than two hours.

The human body has limits.

More than a hundred people have been exhausted and fainted on the construction site.

With these precious twelve hours, they can finally give their soldiers a little rest.

With the order of the military, Songjiang fell into silence within 5 minutes. Except for the snoring of a few people who were exhausted, everyone from the general to the soldiers fell into a deep sleep.

Just put on clothes and sleep in a relatively dry corner of the construction site. The night temperature in the southeast in late autumn has dropped to seven or eight degrees, which is already considered cold. Then you sleep next to me and I next to you, cuddling each other.

No one wasted time. Four hours later, in the early morning, they would continue to get up and complete the unfinished fortifications, waiting for the arrival of the Japanese army.

Reporter Tantai Mingyue had told everyone on the radio half an hour ago: "Jinshan County has fallen, when night falls."
