Bright sword, I have a red police base car

Under Zhang Shijie's deployment, the Red Alert Force's Sixth Combined Battalion and the Air Force and Navy forces have completed their deployment and are on standby around Shanghai.

Next, we just have to wait for the main force to attack.

According to the subsequent combat plan, the combined battalions and newly formed battalions were the main combat forces in this operation, and the armored cluster was only responsible for armored reinforcement tasks in some areas due to terrain reasons.

The main force of the armored group will serve as a defensive guard force to guard the garrison direction of the Kwantung Army and the Mongolian Army.

The main force of the Red Alert took nearly half a month to complete the pre-war preparations for the East China region.

At this time in the East China region, in addition to the Imperial Guards, the Fifth Army, the Seventh Army, the Tenth Army, and the Thirteenth Army of the Kwantung Army, the Japanese army also had a large number of independent divisions, brigades and other units to cooperate in combat.

The 13th Army had suffered heavy casualties on the battlefield in North China and was reduced to a division when it first arrived in East China. However, as the battlefield situation in East China became more severe, Matsui Iwane directly reintegrated a large number of independent troops into the 13th Army according to the original organization of the 13th Army.

At that time in the East China region, the Japanese army already had five reorganized army-level units.

Together with other independent auxiliary forces, the army at this time still assembled more than one million people on the battlefield in East China.

It’s just that the Japanese originally had the Yellow River to defend themselves in North China, but this was no longer possible in East China.

Most of Jiangsu and Anhui are located north of the Yangtze River, Shanghai is also at the mouth of the Yangtze River, and most importantly, their most important defense point is now in Shanghai.

At the same time, Zhang Yuge's 6th Combined Battalion also completed the crossing of the river under forced march before the Japanese troops in Anhui relied on the Yangtze River for defense, and temporarily stationed in the southern area of ​​​​Shanghai.

To ensure that after the Japanese soldiers discovered that the sea had been blocked, they would take the old Japanese soldier Hirohito and escape southward towards Zhejiang.

And under the order of YA, the New Fourth Army deployed in the Jiangnan area also took full action, disrupting the Japanese army's transportation and supply while coordinating the actions of the Sixth Combined Battalion.

This time, Zhang Yuge finally took on a daunting task.

At the same time, as the person in charge of the offensive in the east China direction, Zhang Ning also began to count the troops that had arrived.

This time, almost all the Red Alert forces were dispatched. Zhang Ning was already in an invincible position in terms of military strength. According to Zhang Shijie's previous instructions, the periphery of the entire East China battlefield must be quickly resolved, followed by a comprehensive encirclement and annihilation operation against Shanghai.

For China, Shanghai was a very important place during World War II!

At that time, Shanghai could be said to be the most important port for China's foreign exchanges, without a doubt. The commercial and financial activities here were very beneficial to the Eighth Route Army's commercial trade.

Whether it was Zhang Shijie's Red Alert Force or the Eighth Route Army, they all desperately needed this important window for foreign economic and trade.

After all, all the productions in Dagushan now still rely on overseas universities in Shanghai!

Whether it is People's brand cigarettes, penicillin, or other industrial products, they are now in a state of high prices but low demand internationally.

After all, the quantity sold by the Eighth Route Army alone in the base area was limited.

Therefore, for the operations in Shanghai, the Red Alert Force must do its best to ensure that Shanghai is not affected by a larger portion of the war.

What the Red Alert and the Eighth Route Army needed was a complete Shanghai, not ruins.

At this time in Shanghai, a large number of Chinese people were discovered by the Japanese army. The relevant Chinese people were gathered together and detained at the construction sites in the city, and many young and strong laborers were used as laborers by the Japanese army to build fortifications.

However, compared with the previous situation, the treatment of Chinese people, even those who are treated as laborers, is much better now.

When the Japanese forced these people to work, they would not kill one to warn the rest, and now they dare not let Chinese civilians die.

After all, the Red Alert's previous retaliatory actions had already been notified to all officers above the rank of colonel on the Chinese battlefield, and the Japanese were already aware of the consequences of killing Chinese civilians.

The palm techniques that fell from the sky by the Red Alert Force were now hanging over their heads. The current situation was not that the Japs had learned it well, but that they were afraid!

"You guys! Don't be lazy at work!"

At a position set up in advance by the Japanese army, several Japanese soldiers holding Type 4 semi-automatic rifles were keeping a close eye on the laborers.

Those who were forced to work here by the Japanese were coolie laborers loading and unloading cargo at the dock. The main reason they appeared here was because the leader of their gang had previously defected to the Japanese.

Now that there is such a shortage of labor, the Japanese naturally thought of their lackeys.

However, among these workers, those who surrendered to the Japanese were not the real workers after all. The Japanese were naturally worried when they saw these strong men with muscles full of muscles due to years of high-intensity labor.

The Ping'an County Security Corps was about to arrive, and needless to say they were well aware that there must be an intelligence department of the Ping'an County Security Corps in Shanghai.

If they spread the news that all Japanese troops have evacuated North China and that East China is about to be conquered by the Ping'an County Security Corps, the days of the Japanese troops in Shanghai will definitely become more and more difficult.

It’s just that the Japanese army is now completely blocking the news, so that the common people at the grassroots level cannot get the relevant information.

After all, although there were not many die-hard anti-Japanese elements in Shanghai, there were still many fence-sitters.

Once other people knew about the current predicament of the Japanese army, it is estimated that many people would add insult to injury.

But this situation cannot be concealed by just hiding it. After all, the people around are not fools. They have now begun to build fortifications in the city, which means that someone must be attacking.

The last time SH city built large-scale fortifications was during the Battle of Songhu!

Therefore, various power groups in the urban area of ​​SH began to discuss and decide whether to help the upcoming Chinese army or to overcome the difficulties together with the Japanese.

Of course, this is a topic of discussion for fence-sitters. Those who are truly determined to resist Japan are considering how to support the Chinese troops outside.

In a mansion in the former French Concession, Green Gang boss Huang Jinrong was lying on a chair in front of a window, basking in the sun leisurely, as if the noise and disputes in Shanghai had nothing to do with him.

"Mr. Huang!"

Huang Jinrong finally opened his eyes when a Green Gang member in a black suit walked in.

"Did you find out what I asked you to check?"

"Mr. Huang, we have found out! The Japanese army of one million in North China was all surrounded by the Ping'an County Security Corps and the Eighth Route Army. Less than 300,000 troops escaped. It is expected that they will attack East China next, so now all the Japanese in East China are preparing for battle!"

"Huh? Ping'an County Security Corps?!" After hearing the name, Huang Jinrong stood up from the armchair and paced around the room, recalling the Ping'an County Security Corps.

As the former underground emperor of Shanghai, even Huang Jinrong, who retired after the Japanese occupied Shanghai, had heard of their names.

Apart from the initial victory of the Ping'an County Security Corps and the recent comprehensive retaliation operation, Huang Jinrong did not know the actual strength of the Ping'an County Security Corps.

After all, Zhang Shijie had never given any face to Baldy and the others, and other parties could not contact Zhang Shijie who had been hiding in the mountains, so at the public information level, there was not much news about Zhang Shijie and the Ping'an County Security Corps.

The main reason why Huang Jinrong had dealings with the Ping'an County Security Corps was that they were the only force besides the Eighth Route Army that had large quantities of penicillin and a series of industrial products.

And based on these scarce materials, Huang Jinrong always thought that the Ping'an County Security Corps was established in Shanxi to protect a certain industrial enterprise.

But now I didn't expect that this little-known Ping'an County Security Corps actually has such strong combat effectiveness.

Moreover, the current combat effectiveness of the Eighth Route Army should not be underestimated!
When talking about the Eighth Route Army, Huang Jinrong thought of Zhang Xiaolin, who was known as one of the three giants of the Green Gang together with him and Du Yuesheng.

This grandson not only killed many revolutionaries, but also defected to the Japanese after the Japanese army occupied Shanghai. If he were alive today, his fate would probably not be as simple as it is now, where he was assassinated by a bodyguard!

Huang Jinrong then laid back on the armchair and said to the Green Gang disciples behind him, "Tell the Green Gang brothers to hold their ground for now. If we hear gunfire in Shanghai, let the brothers mess up Shanghai!"

"Yes! Mr. Huang."

After saying this, Huang Jinrong continued to lie on the posture chair with his eyes closed to rest.

Now that the Eighth Route Army and the Ping'an County Security Corps have just captured Shanghai, according to normal thinking, they must now take a temporary rest.

After all, North China is such a large territory that it will take some time to digest after it has just been conquered.

The fact that the Japanese are now building positions only shows that they are afraid, but it does not mean that the Chinese army is about to attack!
However, as a Chinese, Huang Jinrong still hoped that the Chinese army could arrive earlier.

Now that he is old, he hopes to see the Chinese army re-enter Shanghai during his lifetime.

At the same time, Japanese troops were deploying tightly in Jiangsu and Anhui regions.

They didn't know how long it would take for the Ping'an County Security Corps to launch an attack on them, but now that the Tianhuang was in Shanghai, they had to build a defense line in advance.

However, the Japanese did not know that the main force of the Red Alert had already completed the pre-combat preparations. The reason why they had not launched an attack yet was mainly because Zhang Ning was still waiting for a force to be ready for the transition to battle.

"Adjutant Zhang, the support and guarantee group has brought the ammunition for the heavy artillery group. Now the heavy artillery group has 12 base shells, which is enough for offensive operations!"

"Okay, order the troops to continue preparing for battle and wait for the special forces battalion."

"understand!"

After learning that the Japanese invader Tian Huang was in Shanghai, the Red Alert decided to encircle Shanghai, while the Special Forces Battalion also implemented a plan to capture the Japanese invader Tian Huang alive.

Anyway, considering the current political situation in Japan, a living devil is definitely more useful than a dead one.

Now the Red Alert still needs the Japanese to delay the Western countries as much as possible, so the Japanese cannot collapse for the time being. However, the Red Alert still has to find a way to take back the resources they plundered from the Chinese territory.

Therefore, before the offensive mission was launched, Zhang Ning had to act simultaneously with the special forces battalion.

After all, after the Red Alert launched a full-scale offensive, the Japanese army would definitely focus its forces on the front line of combat.

While the Japanese turned their attention to the front line, the Red Alert Force's Special Forces Battalion could figure out how to capture the Japanese locust alive.

At this time, the special forces battalion was assembling according to the orders of the battalion command.

Due to previous battlefield requirements, the various troops of the special forces battalion are now dispersed to carry out tasks on various battlefields. The areas where its troops are dispersed include Henan, Shanxi, Shandong, Hebei and other places.

It would take a considerable amount of time just to transport these troops by helicopters to regroup them.

However, the assembly point of the special forces battalion was not at Dagu Mountain, but at Fengyang Mountain Base.

As an important core location in the Huaihai region, when the Japanese Seventh Army, which had harassed Fengyang Mountain, retreated to Jiangsu, this place was directly chosen by Zhang Ning as the combat command center.

In fact, in the eyes of the Red Alert soldiers, it would be better for the Japanese not to withdraw.

After all, the dozen or so battalions of the Red Alert Force that were previously stationed in Dagu Mountain have now been dispatched. If the Seventh Army does not leave, it is estimated that the entire Seventh Army of the Japanese will be destroyed here.

At this time, various speculations were still circulating in Shanghai. With the various "abnormal" actions of the Japanese army, the people of Shanghai also began to panic.

The news of war once again reached the ears of SH citizens.

In war, ordinary people's ability to resist risks is often the worst, so after learning the news of the impending war, many citizens immediately pack up their belongings and prepare to flee the city that may soon be shrouded in war.

Compared with the Battle of Shanghai, the situation of SH citizens is different now.

At that time, there were concessions of various countries in Shanghai. Due to the existence of Western powers, no matter how China and Japan fought, the concessions would never be shrouded in war. Ordinary people could also hide in the concessions to save their lives when they were desperate.

But now the whole world war has started, the relationship between the Japanese and the West has long been torn apart, the original concessions have been occupied by the Japanese, and even the foreign prisoners are now under the supervision of the Japanese to help the Japanese army build fortifications.

And compared with the Chinese, these foreigners have heavier labor tasks.

After all, they killed Chinese people, and the Ping'an County Security Corps would really retaliate against them, but these foreign devils just killed them.

So what if Dai Ying knows?
What if the Gallic rooster knew?

The damn Gallic chickens have now been beaten into surrender by Sandezi!

However, although the Japanese did not dare to kill Chinese people at will, it was impossible for them to leave.

In the eyes of Prince Higashikuni, these people are the best shields! (End of this chapter)
