Age of Rebirth

Chapter 470

Although Liu Tiehan's press conference stabilized the overall situation, ordinary people gradually calmed down when they saw the top chief of the Central Army stationed in Lu come out to speak, but Jinan City Economics Han Fuju's turmoil was like a frozen river, showing calm, Below is a raging undercurrent.

There is a car in the front and a track in the back. The officials of the Shandong Provincial Government, big and small, are all like this when they see Your Excellency the Chairman. They are busy transferring their family property and arranging the way out, and the wealthy businessmen and shopkeepers are also panicked. For a time, the number of people fleeing from Jinan increased greatly.

Liu Tiehan was furious. According to his previous temper, he had arrested Han Fuju a long time ago, but he can't do this now. Nai, he managed to find Han Fuju in a hidden villa in the countryside, and hoped that he could show his face to the public , Publicly stated his determination to resist Japan, in order to inspire and stabilize the hearts of Qilu fathers and elders.

Unexpectedly, Chairman Han Fuju Han shook his head, claiming that he established a headquarters in a hidden place to coordinate and command the various units of the Eleventh Army. , He also plausibly said that he destroyed his family and went to the national disaster, but no, his real estate and factory were all sold out. [

Liu Tiehan said for a while, I really don't know what to say to Chairman Han. I have seen thick-skinned people, but I have never seen such shameless people. They are clearly planning a way out for themselves, but they are said in a high-sounding manner.

He knew that Han Fuju could not count on it, so he secretly ordered some elite troops to quietly deploy behind Han Fuju's No. 11 Army Group in case of accidents. At that time, it was better to accept Han Fuju's Shandong Air Force as a whole than to fall into the hands of the Japanese.

Regarding the situation in Shandong, Liu Tiehan truthfully reported it to Tang Qiuli. Tang Qiuli had only one sentence to complete all defenses in Shandong independently. If necessary, he could take over the command of the No.11 Army. He made the worst plan, that is, in Shandong, only Liu Tiehan Dongzhi's troops will face the Japanese army with more than twice his strength.

A headquarters was set up in Luoyang, Henan Province, and Tang Enbo, head of the Eighth Army, which commanded 23 troops, received a telegram from Tang Qiuli, the commander-in-chief of the Yellow River Basin Theater Command. , the staff officers next to him vaguely heard "Huangkou kid!"

He is in a hurry. The Luoyang General Chamber of Commerce has a large reception. If he, the highest officer of the Central Army stationed in Henan, does not attend, the reception must not start. When he hurried out, the adjutant beside him reminded him how to repay the general Command?Tang Enbo said impatiently: "Let the chief of staff deal with such trivial matters, and don't hand over all telegrams to me in the future, and prioritize them, understand?"

Tang Qiuli was mobilizing his troops in North China, preparing to face more than 90 Japanese troops, while Tang Qiusheng in Hangzhou Bay was not idle either. Taking advantage of the short period of peace, the troops' fortifications were all complete and all preparations were complete , but the Eighth Army troops in front made him increasingly worried.

The wind of dismantling the Eighth Army has also blown here. These miscellaneous brands and security forces have no intention of suffering here. Discipline has become more relaxed. Shouting to find this place, either her daughter and daughter-in-law were raped, or the only valuable thing in the family was robbed openly and secretly.

I didn't see any officials coming out to speak, and then got annoyed, and simply shot to scare the people. Zhang Fakui also lost his mind, let go of it, and ran to Hangzhou to hide quietly, leaving nearly [-] scattered troops here. Let the ducks go.

The powerful local factions and some generals of the Chinese army have their own confidantes, without the slightest awareness of the coming crisis.

Only Zhang Zhizhong, who was guarding Shanghai, did not relax in the slightest. Tang Qiuli's words echoed in his ears all the time. Others clamored to reduce the garrison in the Songhu area, but he ran to Chairman Jiang and said that it was a serious relationship. Pao, asked Generalissimo Jiang to increase the strength of two divisions for him. In this way, the number of troops guarding the Shanghai area reached more than [-].

After the fiasco of the first Battle of Songhu, Japan set off a climax of reviewing military defeats. The land and sea troops were reorganized, focusing on the synthesis and coordination of air, sea, tank, artillery, infantry and other arms. Below the emperor, he reassessed China's military power, put away his previous contempt, and regarded the Chinese army as a powerful opponent and took it seriously.

Especially in charge of the military administration in northern China, the army of the Chinese devil Tang Qiuli is listed as the number one opponent by the Japanese military circles. This is also the main reason why the Japanese army has always maintained a huge military strength in North China. The North China Independent Division unit, as its ultimate goal, mobilized from top to bottom in Japan, full of murderous intent.

When the Sino-Japanese Armistice Negotiations in Nanjing were going on, on October [-]th, Emperor Hirohito ordered the Japanese Army Base Camp to form a new combat force against China. Incessantly, the army insisted on launching an offensive from North China according to the pre-war plan. After North China was pacified, the army went south to attack China's important commercial and industrial bases, the Suzhou-Hangzhou area.

However, the navy still insisted on attacking the Songhu area first, and opened Shanghai, the gateway to the mainland of China along the river. The naval fleet could go up the river and capture the capital of China, Nanjing, an important industrial base and transportation hub in East China, Wuhan, strategically dividing China into north and south. Two halves, and then the army can eat the Chinese army in isolation.

The two opinions were at loggerheads, each refused to give in, and they quarreled fiercely. It involved their own interests. To make a concession was to admit defeat. Emperor Hirohito watched calmly. Hirohito felt a burst of sadness in his heart when the real fire started. It is a good thing that the land and sea armies are fighting each other, and it reflects the courage and spirit of the Japanese imperialists.

However, which one of you can understand my true heart and understand my grand strategy?They are all for their own benefit, and they lack the overall concept. If we do not fight this battle, we must conquer China. From whichever direction we attack, we cannot achieve the fatal effect of a single blow.

Yuren shouted coldly: "Enough!" There was a clatter of crows in the hall, His Majesty the Emperor was very angry, and the consequences were very serious. The high-ranking land and sea generals who were standing like bulls just now shut their mouths and stared at each other in disbelief. Back to his seat, looking at Emperor Hirohito's face, he speculated about the inner world of this moody His Majesty.

Hirohito signaled that he rushed back from North China to participate in the military conference, the chief of the general staff of the base camp, Prince Xianyuan Gong Zai, and Zai Ren bowed deeply to his emperor's brother, and then announced the emperor's strategic intentions to the generals, in a nutshell , Hirohito’s strategic intention is to simultaneously launch large-scale attacks in the North China and Songhu areas of China, first capture Shanghai, and then the northern and eastern armies will meet in Nanjing, the capital of China, to encircle Wuhan, an important city in East China, and realize the strategic intention of dismembering China.

The senior generals of the Japanese army and sea gasped when they heard this, and His Majesty's appetite was too great. However, this is the most effective way to completely solve the issue of China, and there will be no more fierce disputes between the army and the sea. After reacting, he clapped desperately while beating his own pig's brain, and all kinds of praise words surrounded Emperor Hirohito like flying all over the sky. [

After the emperor's imperial meeting, the Japanese base camp began to prepare for the formation of various invasion forces. The remnants of the original Shanghai dispatched army were reorganized to strengthen the strength of a division and a brigade, with four heavy artillery regiments. The number is 10, and Masao Ishihara, the deputy chief of staff of the base camp, is the commander.

The main task of this department is to carry out the landing at the original landing site. The purpose is to attract the Chinese squadron around Songhu-Hangzhou to come for emergency assistance, and to firmly attract the Chinese Shanghai defenders to the periphery of Shanghai. The price attracted the most squadrons to lead the Songhu area.

From North Korea, Taiwan and Japan, the Sixth, No.18, No.20 and 17th Divisions, Guozaki Detachment, Yamano Detachment, the Second Independent Mountain Artillery Regiment, the Sixth Field Heavy Artillery Brigade, and the First , the Second Reserve Infantry Wing and other troops, with a total of about [-] people, formed the Tenth Army, with Lieutenant General Yanagawa Hirasuke as the commander, preparing to implement a landing operation to open the situation.

The operational principles of the Tenth Army are as follows: [-]. It is scheduled to land in the area near Jinshanwei in Hangzhou Bay at the end of October or early November, and quickly annihilate the weakly defended enemy forces in the landing area. Capture Songjiang, cut off the Shanghai-Hangzhou Railway, and divide part of the troops to attack Wusong, Chuansha River Estuary, and Shizilin to support the Shanghai dispatched army to fight; Cooperate with the elimination of the squadrons around Shanghai and quickly end the Shanghai campaign.

The No.16 Division under the command of Nakajima Kinesaogo landed in Taicang, Jiangsu Province, to support the landing of the Tenth Army and cut off the retreat of the Squadron in the Songhu area.

From the strategic deployment of Emperor Hirohito, it can be seen that the Tenth Army of the Japanese Army is the main force of the Songhu Operation, and the other two routes are all auxiliary directions, especially the Shanghai Dispatch Army, which is carrying out a difficult task. In the battle of Songhu, the Chinese defenders had built a large number of reinforced fortifications around Shanghai. As soon as the Shanghai dispatched troops landed, they would be forced to attack one after another fortifications. The casualties can be imagined.

In North China, because the main opponent we are facing is the Yellow River Basin Theater Army under the command of the Chinese demon Tang Qiuli. It is a fierce and powerful opponent. North China will face huge difficulties. The effective solution is to use Pingjin as the base and Baoding as the On the central axis, launch a full-scale attack from multiple points and directions, disperse Tang Qiuli's troops in all directions, and use our local superior forces to attack his local inferior forces.
