Beacon starts from the departure of a strong man

Chapter 411 The wolf into the flock
Judging from the fighting situation between the two sides, the intensity of the Sichuan army's attack has become much smaller, and it is no longer as fierce as before.

"Your Majesty Commander, this is bad!"

Akira Muto ran over in a panic, his expression a little bad.

"What's going on? So flustered?" Hata Junliu stared at Akira Muto.

"Your Excellency, Commander, judging from the reports of frontline soldiers, the Sichuan Army is currently trapping the Imperial Army."

"Their main force is robbing the wealth of the imperial army. There are many ships moored on some docks, and the Sichuan army is loading supplies."

"Bagaya Road!" The angry Hata Junliu kicked his desk down.

No wonder the Sichuan army did not continue to encircle and suppress the imperial army in the concession. Now they are loading supplies. This is to cut off the imperial army's economy!

These properties were collected with great difficulty by the imperial army in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Once transported back to the country, they can also stimulate the imperial economy.

"Baga!" Hata Junliu scolded angrily, he absolutely couldn't let the supplies be robbed by the Sichuan Army just like that.

"Order the Marine Corps and the Third Division to counterattack with all their strength. At the same time, the warships anchored on the Huangpu River will block the waterway."

When Muto Akira saw Hata Junroku issuing this order, he responded in a low voice: "Your Excellency, Commander, the Imperial Navy's warships in the Huangpu River have been blown up by the Sichuan Army."

"Nani!?" Hata Junroku's eyes widened.

Immediately afterwards, Akira Muto said that Hongqiao Airport had completely severed its connection with the headquarters, and now the airport may be gone.

After hearing the news, Hata Junliu felt the qi and blood in his body surge up, and his mouth became salty.

"Puff!——"

A mouthful of blood spewed out from Hata Junroku's mouth, which shocked Akira Muto, he hurriedly shouted, "Medical soldier!"

"Hurry up...Medical soldier, Your Excellency Commander is injured."

A few medical soldiers came to the headquarters with their medical kits. After everyone was busy for a while, Hata Junliu finally woke up.

The Hongqiao Airport was bombed, and the warships on the Huangpu River sank to the bottom of the river. The Japanese troops who stayed in the Songhu area this time suffered heavy losses.

Coupled with the supplies stored at various docks and stations, the little devil lost all his underpants this time.

At this time, Fujita came into the headquarters. He was originally at the frontline headquarters. He heard Hata Junroku vomiting blood and fell into coma, so he hurriedly ran back.

He was also afraid that Hata Junroku would never wake up from his coma. It was important to know that this was an important moment for the battle between the two armies. If the commander was killed in battle, it would be a fatal blow to the imperial army.

Fortunately, after seeing that Junroku Hata could breathe normally, Susumu Fujita breathed a sigh of relief, "Your Excellency, Commander."

Fujita stepped forward and saluted Hata Junroku, "Your Excellency, we have received reports from the defenders in Wuxing, Suzhou, Qingpu, Songjiang and other places."

"The stations and strongholds in these areas are now under artillery fire from the Central Army. The Imperial Association Army is requesting assistance from the Imperial Army."

Soon, several signal soldiers ran into the office and reported to Hata Junliu that the station and the pier had lost contact.

Anyway, now Junroku Hata has heard not a single good news, but all bad news. His heart is bleeding!
For a time, the Songhu area was full of smoke, and the Chinese army was like a tiger descending from the mountain, which dealt a heavy blow to the arrogant Japanese army.

Junroku Hata is now filled with regret. When the last military meeting was held, Susumu Fujita proposed not to launch a large-scale attack to avoid a counterattack by the Chinese army in the third theater.

Now that airports, stations, docks, strongholds and other places have been lost, Fujita is right about all of this. As a commander, if he is too eager to achieve success, it seems that he will easily make mistakes.

Junroku Hata looked at Susumu Fujita: "Fujita-kun!"

"Hi!" Fujita Susumu stood upright, nodding and bowing. "Your Excellency, Commander."

"Fujita Susumu, facing the current situation, how should the imperial army respond?"

"Your Excellency, Commander, now that the enemy is strong and we are weak, I think the imperial army should stick to a strong fortress and use machine gun positions, Type [-] infantry artillery and other heavy weapons to confront the Sichuan army."

"At the same time, the No.13 Division and the Ninth Division in the northern Jiangsu area were ordered to quickly move southward, moving from the Baimaokou area to the flank of the Sichuan Army."

"The 101st Division and the [-]th Division went south to the Changzhou area and took trains to the south of Taihu Lake to prevent the Sichuan Army from retreating."

"As long as we contain the Sichuan army, this army will be destroyed as soon as daylight comes!"

"The Third Fleet is anchored in Hangzhou Bay. Your Excellency, Commander, should contact you immediately. The Third Fleet's aircraft carrier has a large number of aircraft. Now the Sichuan Army is attacking. Once it gets dark, the naval aviation force will be ordered to take off to find the Sichuan Army troops to carry out a major bombing."

heard!Hata Junroku patted Susumu Fujita on the shoulder, "Yoshi! Just do as you say."

Junroku Hata asked his adjutant to draft a message and send it to the troops under the direct control of the front army. At the same time, he asked the Japanese troops holding the stronghold to hit every soldier.

The Japanese Army's Central China Front was attacked by the Sichuan Army, and the Japs in the south of Xuzhou retreated overnight. This information was quickly passed on to Li De's neighbors.

Here, after reading the telegram, Li Delin couldn't help but sigh, "Old Bai! Sometimes, this Sichuan Army's idea is really good."

"Look, this is a telegram from the direction of Su County, as well as a message from the Shanghai Military Control Station."

"The No. 20 Eighth Army of the Sichuan Army is making a lot of noise in the Songhu area. The little devil's multiple piers, strongholds, and railway stations have fallen. This Sichuan army is like a wolf in a herd of sheep."

Bai Zhuge drank a cup of hot tea, "The last time the military meeting was held, Adjutant Yu of the Sichuan Army said that the enemy is strong and we are weak, so we can't go head-to-head with the Japanese army, we need to use our brains more when fighting."

"Instead of letting the Japanese army lead us by the nose, let us lead the Japanese army by the nose. This time the Sichuan army attacked Songhu at night, it is to lead the Japanese army by the nose!"

"Look, didn't the Japanese army in the direction of Su County retreat? This solved a big problem for us!"

Bai Zhuge was also very happy, this time the Sichuan army fought really well, and solved the problem of being encircled by the fifth war zone at once.This gave the troops a lot of time to evacuate.

In the third war zone, Gu Zhutong received a report from the frontline troops that the assault battle went smoothly, and now more than 100 Japanese strongholds and stations have been destroyed.

Many army officers also asked Gu Zhutong if they could continue to advance forward and expand the results.

Gu Zhutong was stunned when he saw these telegrams asking for war. Damn it, when will it be as easy to kill a Japanese army as a dog.

"Commander, it's been so long since we've been fighting, this is the first time we've fought so easily, we've never fought so happily!"

The staff officer beside Gu Zhutong had a look of joy on his face.

Luo Zhuoying also said: "Not only did we fight well tonight, but we also gained a lot. Many troops said that they seized a large amount of equipment and supplies at the Japanese strongholds and stations."

Gu Zhutong looked at his staff officer, "Sending a report to the frontline troops can appropriately expand the results of the battle. At the same time, transport back all the supplies of the little devil, as much as you can, pick up important ones, and burn them if you can't transport them. .”

"Yes!"

Gu Zhutong waved his hand to signal the staff to step down, and he called a group of officers to come to the map again, and everyone began to discuss the next move.

About 10 minutes later, a signal soldier returned to the headquarters and reported to Gu Zhutong. "Commander, the army from Wu Xing is calling."

Wu Xing was the furthest area where Gu Zhutong's direct troops attacked. He was afraid of something, so he hurried up to receive the telegram.

I saw in the telegram that Wu Xing's defenders were vulnerable, facing the firepower of the Central Army, the Japanese army retreated directly, and even let the Central Army meet the surrendering Japanese army, and these Japanese soldiers still uttered Chinese from time to time.

Gu Zhutong also told everyone the general content of the message. He wanted to ask everyone for their opinions.

Luo Zhuoying frowned, "Your Excellency, Commander, the Japanese troops in Wuxing have retreated so quickly, the troops have already entered the city."

"Is there going to be an explosion here!? The Japanese army surrendered to us. This is simply unbelievable."

The troops in the third war zone are also troops that have gone through many battles. Everyone has been fighting the Japanese army for so long, and the little devil is not afraid of death at all. Now he voluntarily surrenders, which is really suspicious.

Moreover, judging from the content of the telegram, the counterattack firepower of the Japanese army is also very weak, and the retreat is also a bit messy.

After Luo Zhuoying raised his doubts, some officers also agreed. Wuxing is an important city, and these actions of the Japanese army are abnormal. There are probably bombs inside.

Instead, an officer who had gone deep into the Seventh War Zone with Chen Cheng and had contact with the Sichuan Army stood up and said, "Everyone, I don't think this looks like an explosion?"

"First of all, in terms of military strength, most of the Japanese troops in the Songhu area have gone north to Xuzhou. The Japs are in short supply, and many strongholds and stations have been handed over to the puppet troops."

"As for the Japanese army that you suspect to surrender, let me tell you this. Most of these devils are troops from Wanwan. This is an army whose officers are Japanese soldiers and soldiers are Chinese."

Later, the officer also gave everyone a brief introduction to the scene when the Sichuan army attacked the Wanwan garrison.

When Gu Zhutong heard this, he thought that the No. 20 Eighth Army of the Sichuan Army besieged Shanghai City. It shouldn't be a big problem, and he was about to give orders to the troops.

However, the signal corps came to the headquarters, shouting that Guo Rudong, commander of the Sichuan Army No. 20 Eighth Group Army, had an urgent message.

Luo Zhuoying stepped forward quickly, glanced at the telegram briefly, and handed it to Gu Zhutong.

"Withdraw troops?!"

After seeing the telegram, Gu Zhutong couldn't help but say the word withdrawal, which he never thought of.

Now the Sichuan army actually said that it had withdrawn its troops. By the way, it notified the various departments of the Central Army to withdraw immediately and could not continue to harass the Japanese army.

Many officers were dumbfounded when they heard that the Sichuan army was going to withdraw at this time. It was really incomprehensible that they were going to withdraw their troops after a good fight.

Immediately afterwards, the second telegram came from the Fifth War Zone. Li Delin told Gu Zhutong that the four divisions of the Central China Front Army were heading south.

Moreover, Li Delin and Bai Zhuge estimated two or three of the detour routes to the south, no matter which one it is, it is not good for the third theater.

Gu Zhutong hurriedly asked the staff to draw a picture. After the drawing was completed, everyone glanced at the map on the wall, and at this moment they all gasped.

Once the Japanese army follows this roundabout plan, the troops attacking in the third theater may be made dumplings by the devils.

At the same time, military commanders in the Hangzhou Bay area also discovered anomalies in the Third Fleet and sent a message to Gu Zhutong.

Luo Zhuoying saw this, and hurriedly said: "Commander, the troops have to withdraw."

"The four divisions of the Central China Front Army returned to aid, plus the change of the Japanese Third Fleet. According to the intelligence of the military command, all the aircraft carriers and aircraft of the Third Fleet have been moved out of the hangar."

"It seems that the kid is planning to take off at dawn and come to the skies over Jiangsu and Zhejiang. During the day, the Japanese army has air supremacy. We can't afford to mess with two to three hundred planes!"

Gu Zhutong understood everyone's worries. Fortunately, in this night attack, the third theater also had an advantage. The results were good, which was enough.

"Withdraw troops!" Gu Zhutong ordered, "The frontline troops will withdraw immediately and return to their positions at the beginning of the war. At the same time, if the Japanese army encounters entanglement, don't be reluctant to fight."

The various departments of the Central Army in the third theater received the order. Although they were a little bit unwilling, they still carried out the order honestly and moved to the mountainous area.

In Lincheng, Lu Province!Yu Hua received the specific results of Guo Rudong's No. 20 Eighth Army.

First of all, this time the Sichuan army attacked Shanghai and Shanghai at night. In the bank vaults of the Japanese army, they not only robbed a large amount of Japanese currency, gold and silver, but also found a lot of French currency.

Moreover, the printing of these fiat currencies is very exquisite, and it is roughly estimated that there are tens of millions of fiat currencies stored in the bank.

Sun Zhen on the side frowned slightly when Guo Rudong said he found so many fiat coins, "What does this little devil want to do?"

"Could it be that these fiat coins are accounts paid to the devils by our internal personnel who secretly communicated with the Japanese army?!"

For Sun Zhen, this was the first thing he could think of.

Yu Hua on the side said: "Brother Sun, you are wrong. These money were printed by the Japanese army themselves, and they are all counterfeit money!"

"Uh!?" Sun Zhen's eyes widened: "Counterfeit coins? What do the devils do with so many counterfeit coins?"

Later, Yu Hua explained economic warfare to Sun Zhen. The Japanese army forged so many legal currencies in order to disrupt the economy of the Republic of China government and cause panic among the people.

"Damn it!" Sun Zhen yelled, "These bastards have such a vicious conscience, and they still play such tricks."

"Brother Yu, we still need to report this matter to the Republic of China government. Since you have said it, the little devils playing economic warfare will have such a serious impact on us. It is better to let the Hankou Jinling High Command be on guard."

Yu Hua nodded, "This matter, let the old man have a headache, we should withdraw our troops now."

"Brother, have you made arrangements for the remaining troops?"

"It has been arranged a long time ago!" Sun Zhen patted his chest and said: "The three divisions and their troops have already followed your request, brother, and have penetrated into the nearby mountainous areas and moved towards the Yimeng Mountain area."

The Third Group Army and the three divisions left behind by the Sichuan Army have a total strength of about 5. These troops stayed in Shandong Province for guerrilla operations.

Yu Hua hoped that 50 to [-] soldiers would come out by then, and the troops in the fifth theater would retreat, and the Japanese offensive would become fierce.

In the Hutou Mountain base area, Qiu Ming and Li Yong, as well as Zhu Ziming from Qingfeng Village, also found that the number of little devils wandering around has increased a lot recently.

These troops also escort and transport wounded soldiers. Fortunately, the Hutoushan Independent Regiment has a translator. After arresting the Japanese wounded soldiers and questioning them, they learned that the troops of the Fifth Theater Zone had retreated.

The Japanese army's battle line was stretched, and now they all took small roads to transport wounded soldiers and supplies, etc. Qiu Ming and Li Yong also seized the opportunity to stop all Japanese troops who wanted to pass through the Hutou Mountain base area.

Zhu Ziming was a little confused. The number of Japanese troops around him increased, and he still couldn't figure out the situation.
