Chapter 290 The Strategic Change of the Battle of Wuhan

After the Battle of Wuhan, the Japanese army, which already felt insufficient in strength, became more and more insufficient as the front line extended, and was unable to organize such a large-scale strategic attack as the Battle of Songhu, Xuzhou, and Wuhan, with the goal of siege and plunder. And was forced to switch to strategic defense.

Gao Feishi clearly realized that China's war of resistance had developed from a stage of strategic defense to a stage of strategic stalemate, and that the Japanese aggressors had fallen into the quagmire of a protracted war that they were least willing to engage in, and could not extricate themselves, which led to the Japanese policy of aggression against China. The shift from military strikes, supplemented by political inducement to surrender, to political inducement, supplemented by military strikes, from the use of the main force to fight on the frontal battlefield, to the transfer of troops to carry out "security" operations on the battlefield behind enemy lines.Anti-Japanese Blood Sacrifice Mountains and Rivers 55891

In fact, the end of the Battle of Wuhan still left too many regrets for the Squadron, which was still unfinished. Although it wiped out all the [-]th Division of the Japanese Army in the Battle of Wanjialing, it created a new era of annihilation of the Japanese Division in the Chinese battlefield. The precedent of super-level troops also made the Japanese army dare not rush forward with light troops. The Japanese army has always claimed that the squadron does not have the strength to wipe out the infantry wing of the Imperial Japanese Army, but on the surface, the Japanese seem to be too aggressive. Confident, the destruction of the [-]th Division's entire army is equivalent to slapping the shameless Japanese who brag all day long!

Regarding the annihilation of the 11th Division, not only the commander of the No. [-]th Army Neiji Okamura was reprimanded, but even the commander of the Central China Expedition Army, General Hata Toshi, was recalled to the mainland. He must make it clear at the imperial meeting. How was the [-]th Division wiped out?

And the most embarrassing to the Japanese is the 120th Division from Lieutenant General Inaba Shiro, the Chief of Staff of the Division Akiyama Yoshitaka, the Infantry 220th Brigade, Major General Yamaji Tsune, and the Infantry [-]th Brigade. Brigade Commander Major General Aoki Chengichi, Commander of the [-]st, [-]th Infantry Regiment Colonel Tanaka Seido, Commander of the [-]st, [-]rd Regiment of the Infantry Regiment, Iino Ken, Chief of the [-]th Regiment of the Infantry Regiment, Ichikawa Osamu, etc. More than [-] officials and [-] seven officers who were airborne were all killed in the battle of Wanjialing.

The annihilation of the 20th Division did not affect the overall strategic situation of the Wuhan Battle. After the fall of Qingdao, Shanghai and other places, Guangzhou became the most important port in China, but compared with its importance, The defense of Guangzhou seemed to be very lax. Half of the main combat troops of the Cantonese Army were dispatched to participate in the Battle of Wuhan. Chiang Kai-shek believed that the Japanese army had already devoted all their strength to the Battle of Wuhan, and it was impossible to spare troops to attack in other directions. Originally However, due to the lack of troops, the Japanese army planned to deploy troops to attack Guangzhou after the Battle of Wuhan. Unexpectedly, the Japanese army resisted tenaciously in the Battle of Wuhan, which made the progress of the battle slow. The No. [-] First Army, led by General Guzhuang Qianlang, and supported by Koichi Shiozawa, commander of the Fifth Fleet of the Navy, made a surprise attack on Guangzhou.

Before the Japanese army launched a surprise attack, Guangdong had already obtained relevant information. The military command commissioner arrived in Guangzhou to remind the Japanese army of the possibility of landing operations. Guangdong Provincial Chairman Wu Tiecheng also made a report to Chongqing, but Chiang Kai-shek thought it was intentional by the Japanese. The false information produced was an attempt to get the Communist Party to withdraw troops from the Wuhan battlefield to support Guangdong. In order to avoid being caught by the Japanese's plan to divert the tiger away from the mountain, Chiang Kai-shek insisted on playing an empty city plan in Guangdong!

While playing empty city tricks, in order to highlight his strategic foresight, Chiang Kai-shek even sent a report asking Yu Hanmou to deploy another division to reinforce the Wuhan battlefield!As a result, on the night when the Chinese Army annihilated the 20th Division of the Japanese Army, the main force of the No. 7 Army of the Japanese Army was more than 21 people, and nearly [-] soldiers and horses successfully landed in Daya Bay, Guangzhou. , Boluo and Zengcheng, on October [-] they had reached the outskirts of Guangzhou.

Although Yu Hanmou's No.12 Army was responsible for defending the territory, the strength of the enemy and ourselves was too great. It was beaten to pieces by the Japanese army in just ten days!In desperation, Yu Hanmou ordered the Guangzhou defenders to retreat, and Guangzhou fell on the afternoon of the 21st.

Once Guangzhou was lost and the Canton-Han Railway was cut off, Wuhan would not be worth defending with heavy troops. Faced with this situation, Chiang Kai-shek learned the lesson of last year's defense of Nanjing and decided not to defend Wuhan alone. On October 25th , The Japanese army occupied Hankou, Wuchang the next day, and Hanyang on the 27th, and the defense of Wuhan came to an end.

Faced with the loss of the country, Gao Fei can only sit and watch. Gao Fei is also very entangled for this reason. What is the end of people who speak lightly and want to talk?Gao Fei naturally knows that while China is fighting against the enemy, you have to pay attention to the conspiracy from behind!

However, with the help of Cai Wenzhi, a strong buddy like Shen Zui, and the tiger skin protection of the military command, Gao Fei didn't have much to worry about for a while, and anyone who wanted to lay a black hand on Gao Fei had to weigh it carefully To put it mildly, the Central Special Operations Group is directly under the Supreme Military Council, which means that only Chiang Kai-shek is qualified to mobilize this force. Therefore, it is not a problem that Gao Fei's department does not comply with the regulations of the Ministry of Military and Political Affairs, nor is it a problem that the consumption is huge!Gao Fei also took advantage of this move.

For Gao Fei, the Battle of Wuhan was more of a spectator. The establishment of the Central Special Operations Group involved Gao Fei's too much energy, and Chiang Kai-shek also attached great importance to the elite soldiers Gao Fei formed. Gao Fei is also very helpless about this, who made our Chairman Jiang have the habit of directly commanding troops to fight?Every time you move first, you will lose the opportunity, and a good move will become a deadly bad move.

The Huang Tianxia Assault Team that raided the Japanese field airport in Hengdian before has lost contact with the headquarters. Gao Fei, who has retreated to Chongqing, is discussing with Cai Wenzhi the equipment of the army’s mechanical regiment at the Central Special Operations Group Headquarters in Longshan. Suddenly, someone comes to report that Huang Tianxia has returned to the team. up!
