Beacon starts from the departure of a strong man

Chapter 284 Adjustment of the Warring Parties
On the Songhu battlefield!
The army of the Republic of China has fallen into exhaustion, and its combat effectiveness should have dropped a lot.

No.18 Division, the 23rd Brigade under its command.

After going ashore, there was no resistance, and the fighting power was strong, and the soldiers were very excited.

According to the comparison of military strength, Yanagawa Hirasuke is also relieved.

He believed that the No.18 Division would not let him down.

At this time, a communications staff officer of the Tenth Army came to Yanagawa Heisuke.

"Your Excellency, Commander!"

"Urgent message from base camp."

Yanagawa Heisuke's eyes were rounded, and he quickly took the telegram and scanned it quickly.

"Your Excellency, Commander!"

"what happened?"

Moritake Tanabe asked in a low voice, and he noticed the change in Yanagawa Heisuke's face.

Yanagawa Heisuke put down the telegram in his hand, "Tanabe-kun."

"The base camp has established the Central China Front Army."

"The Tenth Army and the Shanghai Dispatched Army will be incorporated into it."

"Matsui Iwane is the commander."

The Tenth Army merged into the Central China Front Army, and Matsui Iwane became his boss.

Yanagawa Heisuke was a little upset.

According to the previous plan of the base camp.

The two armies in the Songhu area, the Tenth Army and the Shanghai Dispatch Army, are both at the same level.

Yanagawa Hirasuke and Matsui Iwane are equals.

Now that the base camp has been reorganized, Matsui Iwane has become his boss Yanagawa Heisuke.

Moritake Tanabe figured it out quickly.

Why is Yanagawa Hirasuke a little unhappy.

He stood aside and said nothing.

Because, if you advise me to relax and so on now.

That's simply asking for trouble for yourself.

"Bagaya Road!"

An angry Yanagawa Hirasuke yelled in the headquarters.

He even pulled out his command knife and split the desk in half.

After Yanagawa Heisuke was employed by the base camp, he always wanted to prove himself.

Now that he is a subordinate of Matsui Iwane, his heart is still unbalanced.

On the sea, Matsui Iwane on a ship received the latest order from the base camp.

The old devil also exhaled a long breath of foul air.

Due to the unfavorable combat in the Songhu area, his dispatched troops from Shanghai City have not been able to conquer the enemy.

This is still thanks to Yanagawa Hirasuke leading the Tenth Army and making a flank detour, which was able to disintegrate the enemy's defense.

When he heard that the base camp was going to reorganize the defenders in the Songhu area.

Matsui Iwane was a little worried about whether he would be punished.

Because the battle in the Songhu area is unfavorable, the base camp has doubted its command ability.

Now that the results are out, it seems that the base camp still has confidence in itself.

Immediately afterwards, Matsui Iwane.

He immediately assumed the role of commander of the Central China Front Army.

The latest order was issued to the commander of the Tenth Army, Yanagawa Hirasuke.

After the Tenth Army has dampened the enemy's will to fight, immediately consolidate the occupied area and do not pursue the enemy.

In the Taihu Lake area, the speed of the Tenth Army's pursuit was really too fast.

According to the command line of the base camp, the Tenth Army has already exceeded.

this time period.

The purpose of the Japanese base camp is to resolve the Battle of Songhu and end the battle.

Then negotiate in Jinling.

This is the strategic policy of Shanghai and Shanghai and Jinling negotiations.

at the same time!

Jinling is also holding a military meeting.

This meeting is mainly to discuss the next combat issues.

Songhu has been fighting for so long, and how to proceed with the next battle needs to be discussed in detail.

At the meeting, everyone expressed their opinions and explained how the next battle should be carried out.

Everyone offered their opinion.

According to the overall combat policy formulated before, it is a long-term attrition operation.

Adopt the combat idea of ​​exchanging space for time.

Many generals also proposed.

The war between the Republic of China and the devils is a long process, and we can't care about the gains and losses of a city or a place.

As the saying goes: "If you save people and lose land, all people and land will survive; if you save land and lose people, all people and land will be lost."

Finally, the High Command emphasized the next strategic approach for the Seventh Theater.

The third war zone is now withdrawing troops.

In view of the 7th theater, there will be a lot of pressure.

In terms of troop allocation, make the following adjustments.

The No.16 Army under Luo Zhuoying's command and the 23rd Army under Liu Jianxu were added to the Seventh War Zone.

23st Army Command.

Fu Chang, Pan Wenhua, Fan Shaozeng and others received the latest telegram.

Everyone also let out a long breath of foul air, and the seventh theater of the Jinling Command increased its troops.

This is obviously a good thing, and now the Seventh Theater is short of troops.

Today, the Seventh Theater bears the brunt and will become the target of the Japanese army.

The 23rd Army of the Sichuan Army, with more than 30 people, could not stop the Japanese army of more than [-].

After all, in the Battle of Songhu, Jinling invested more than [-] troops to barely stop the little devil.

If the Seventh War Zone does not increase its troops, the Sichuan Army may not be able to last long.

Jin Province!

Marshal Liu also received a telegram from the Jinling High Command.

He saw that the Seventh War Zone had increased its troops.

Marshal Liu understood that this was giving Chen Cixiu military power.

The No.15 Legion under the No.16 Group Army is Chen Cixiu's direct lineage.

As for the 23rd Army, Marshal Liu is not very clear.

He hadn't heard of this troop yet.

Marshal Liu knew about Liu Jianxu. He was leading the Tenth Army in Songhu.

Liu Dashuai sent a telegram to Jinling.

Ask about the specifics of the 23rd Regiment.

quickly!

Telegram from Jinling.

The 23rd Legion is a newly established force.

The regiment has three brigades under its jurisdiction, and Zhou Xieqing, the commander of the 11th brigade, is temporarily designated.

Li Guojun, the commander of the 12th brigade, and Yang Yongqing, the commander of the 13th brigade, were temporarily assigned.

These three provisional brigades were previously part of the 10th Army Group.

The Legion is the Central Army transformed from the Hunan Army.

Marshal Liu thought of it!
These troops were all withdrawn from the third theater, and their combat effectiveness was seriously damaged.

It seems that the seventh theater is well-equipped;

However, only the 23rd Army of the Sichuan Army and the Seventh Army of the Guangxi Clique are considered new forces.

Luo Zhuoying's No.16 Corps is okay, with four divisions.

On the contrary, it is the 23rd Army, which only has three brigades. If it is fully staffed, its strength is just over [-].

Who knows, Jinling did not provide any supplementary soldiers for this army.

If there are insufficient troops, this is the worst. It is estimated that the entire 23rd Army may only have a few thousand people.

If it weren't for the current battlefield in Jin Province, in the direction of Niangziguan, the 22nd Army of the Sichuan Army would contain a large number of devils.

Marshal Liu wanted to transfer the 22nd Army to the Seventh Theater to increase its strength.

The strength of the two armies is all the Sichuan army, so they can take care of each other when they fight.

at the same time.

The 144th Division of Yu Hua and Guo Xunqi has successfully evacuated to Pingwang.

The Seventh Army of the Guangxi Clan received orders from the Seventh Theater to block the Japanese army from crossing Taihu Lake on the front line of Pingwang.

daytime!

Because the Tenth Army received an order to storm Songjiang.

Therefore, it is so convenient for the naval aviation to fully support the march of the 23rd Brigade, the Sichuan Army and the Guangxi Army.

Along the way, there was no Japanese air raid.

After arriving in Pingwang, the Guangxi army did not rest.

Liao Lei ordered the troops to build field fortifications.

Now we must hurry up and prepare for the battle.
