Chapter 257 The War Is Fighting Industrial Power

Songhu Battlefield!

Lao Chang is unwilling to withdraw troops, and he still believes that his diplomatic methods are correct.

Lao Chang will not give up until the critical moment.

The current Brussels meeting is the key of the key.

Lao Chang decided to wait for the changes in the international situation and strive for Western assistance.

after all!

During the January [-] Incident, he played this routine very smoothly.

Countries such as the United States, Gaul, and the British Isles have also severely sanctioned the little devil.

As for Huo Kuizhang's 54th Army retreating.

Lao Chang had no choice but to call in some reinforcements to block the hole.

On the way back to his office, Lao Chang thought of a countermeasure.

Enter the office.

Sitting on the chair, Chang Chang looked at Dai Chunfeng.

"The rain is thick!"

"Check around the 54th Army to see if there are any other troops."

"Deploy some troops and go to help Huo Kuizhang."

"Be sure to block the 16th Division and the Chongteng Detachment, give me more than [-] troops, and leave a way to retreat."

Dai Chunfeng stood upright, snapped, and saluted Lao Chang: "Yes!"

"Students do it now!"

After half an hour!
Dai Chunfeng returned to Lao Chang's office.

"headmaster!"

"I checked, and Huo Kuizhang is only surrounded by Liu Heding's 39th Army."

"The 39th Army was split up after being transferred to Songhu."

"Now there is only one division and three security regiments from Jiangsu and Zhejiang."

"Before they defended at Chuanshakou and Shizilin, when the 11th Division landed."

"The division was defeated very quickly, and now it has been replenished and is ready to be transferred to the Suzhou Creek line."

Hear it!

Lao Chang waved his hand, "Give power to Liu He Ding immediately."

"Let him lead the 39th Army and quickly reinforce Huo Kuizhang."

"And, under the command of Huo Kuizhang."

Seeing that Dai Chunfeng was about to leave, Lao Chang called out again: "Come back!"

When Dai Chunfeng heard this, he rushed back non-stop and stood in front of Lao Chang.

"Principal, do you have anything else to order?"

Lao Chang pondered for a while and said, "Hmm..."

"Send a telegram to Gu Mosan."

"Let him command the troops in the third theater, and he must continue to stand firm."

"Wait for my order, and at the same time, tell Gu Mosan."

"The 39th Army that reinforces Suzhou Creek, let me transfer it away."

"Yes!" Dai Chunfeng nodded, and left the office with the message in his hand.

Liu Heding's 39th Army is a local army, which was incorporated by Lao Chang.

Its original body was the 2nd Mixed Brigade of the Anhui Army.

Its combat effectiveness and weapons and equipment are not very good, but compared to the Sichuan army that has not changed their outfits.

The equipment of this army is not bad.

Liu Heding, who was resting in Shajiabang, received an order from the Jinling Command.

Immediately found his adjutant and issued an order for emergency assembly.

The whole army went to Huo Kuizhang's location.

the next day!
The Little Devil's Tenth Army followed the previous battle plan.

To the north and south on the west bank of Taihu Lake, the troops were divided.

The Sixth Division and Guoqi Detachment still marched towards Jinshan County.

The 114th Division marched towards Jiaxing.

The 18th Division was divided into two, and one part marched towards Pingwang, preparing to cross Taihu Lake.

Part of it was assigned to the 114th Division and the Sixth Division.

On the way to Jinshan County.

Tani Hisao's Sixth Division and Kunizaki Detachment now have no supplies and artillery units.

The combat power has dropped a lot!

despite this!

The Sixth Division and the Kunisaki Detachment still have more than 4000 people.

With so many troops, they swept across a small Jinshan County.

Tani Hisao and Kunisaki Akira are still confident.

Even though he doesn't have an artillery wing now, the wing under the division still has artillery.

There are still dozens of cannons gathered.

and!

For siege warfare, this is the forte of the imperial army.

Because the tactics of the Republic of China army were very rigid.

It only needs the artillery of the empire to carry out fire bombing, and then call the aviation.

Jinshan County can easily be taken.

Kunizaki looked at Hisao Tani, and he also saw that he was depressed.

He opened his mouth and said, "Your Excellency, Head of the Division."

"Don't be discouraged, as long as we cut off the Shanghai-Hangzhou highway and railway."

"Outflank the rear of the Republic of China army, and the final victory belongs to the imperial army."

"The Sixth Division and the Guoqi Detachment will definitely create another glory."

Hisao Tani nodded slightly when he heard it, "Kunisaki-kun."

"You're right."

"According to T-Tech's information, the Shanghai-Hangzhou highway and railway are constantly transporting supplies."

"Just take down these two transportation networks!"

"The potential of the Republic of China army will naturally be exhausted."

"When the time comes to encircle and suppress, it will definitely get twice the result with half the effort."

"Moreover, winning Songhu will also completely destroy the industrial power of the Jinling High Command."

Akira Kunisaki couldn't help but nodded, clapping his hands for Hisao Tani: "Yoshi!"

"Mr. Gu Shou, you are right."

"as far as I know!"

"In the Republic of China, there were about 53 industries."

"Among them, there are 160 and eight in the Songhu area."

Kunizaki paused for a moment, then took out his water bottle, took a sip to moisten his throat, and continued.

"These industries are the economic lifeline of the Republic of China."

"As long as our Sixth Division and Guoqi Detachment successfully cut off these two lines of communication."

He pointed to the Shanghai-Hangzhou highway and railway on the map.

"Then, the way for the industries of the Republic of China to migrate to the rear will be completely cut off."

"In this way, the potential of the Republic of China can be greatly consumed."

"The process of the empire's conquest of the Far Eastern continent will also be greatly accelerated."

Gu Hisao stroked his rendanhu, "Yoxi!"

He nodded in satisfaction, thinking of what Kunizaki said, he was in a good mood.

"War is fought against the industrial power of a country."

"Most of the industry in the Republic of China was concentrated in the Songhu area."

"As long as Songhu is taken down, the holy war of the empire is half done."

The two old devils looked at each other and smiled.

just now!

If you want to cut off the Shanghai-Hangzhou highway and railway, you must take Jinshan County.

Then marched northward.

In one fell swoop, they seized the important town of Songjiang.

There is only one road between Jinshan County and Songjiang Town.

If the Sixth Division and Guoqi Detachment want to take down the important town of Songjiang, they must first take down Jinshan County.

The important town of Songjiang happens to be on the Shanghai-Hangzhou highway and railway.

This is a very important transportation hub.

Both Jinshan County and Songjiang are important strategic locations.

Gu Hisao and Kunisaki Deng also believed it very much.

In these two places, the Republic of China army mobilized heavy troops to prepare for defense.

but!
Tani Hisao and Kunizaki Deng are not afraid at all.

The siege battle, the two have fought countless times in the Pingjin area.

and!

In this siege battle, the Tenth Army was also assigned a field heavy artillery brigade.

In the field heavy artillery brigade, the little devils trained a total of 6.

Each of these brigades is equipped with heavy artillery ranging from 150mm to 240mm.

A field heavy artillery brigade has 48 to 72 artillery pieces, with a total number of more than [-] people.

This field heavy artillery brigade is a troop specially dispatched by the little devil to attack tough situations.

Now, on the Songhu battlefield!

The Shanghai Dispatch Army is attached to the 15th Field Heavy Artillery Brigade and the [-]th Field Heavy Artillery Wing.

The Tenth Army is attached to the 6th Field Heavy Artillery Brigade!

The little devil has a total of six field heavy artillery brigades, of which Songhu occupies two.

It can be seen how fierce this battle was.
