Open an aircraft carrier to fight against Japan

Gu Hong was very excited when he heard the news of Wu Dameng's death, and immediately notified Cao Zheng, who immediately notified Lin Yuan. After the detailed battle report was sent, Cao Zheng asked his subordinates to count the battle report.

Lin Yuan took this time to contact the commander of the landing ship and asked, "How is the bombardment plan going?"

The commander said: "We didn't carry out shelling today. At six o'clock this morning, there was a strong wind of magnitude six on the sea, and the rolling range of the landing ship reached six degrees. .”

Lin Yuan said: "Okay, then tomorrow, October 24th, you will launch an attack on the two ports!"

The commander agreed to come down, and at ten o'clock in the evening, the battle report of the Songbai Town battle was sent to Lin Yuan. Lin Yuan was shocked when he saw the battle report, and saw that it read: 25 Brigade of the Ninth Division of our department, 480 killed in battle Seven people were injured, and 620 and eight were injured, including [-] seriously injured who were no longer combat-capable.

Lin Yuan thought to himself: "The small Qing army actually reduced my combat personnel by nearly 600 people. The 25th brigade has only more than 4000 people, and the combat personnel reduction ratio is as high as 15.00%!" Lin Yuan said to the radio operator. : "Get me the Ninth Division!"

After a while, the Ninth Division connected, Lin Yuan sneered and said, "Mr. Cao, you played well!"

Cao Zheng heard the displeasure in Lin Yuan's words, and hurriedly said, "Report to Commander Lin, we didn't fight this battle well, and the casualties were a bit heavy!"

Lin Yuan said angrily: "It's too big? The combat reduction rate is as high as 15.00%! Is this just a little too big? We have tanks and automatic rifles, and the Qing army? Nothing! How can you fight the battle like this? ?”

Cao Zheng hurriedly said: "Report to Commander Lin, the Qing army is really too tenacious, do you know that? The Yunbao Battalion is the elite of the Qing army. There are more than 2000 people in total. More than 800 people died in the battle, and the rest are missing arms. Seriously wounded with short legs, only a few handymen were captured, and their fighting will was almost as good as that of the Japanese army!"

Lin Yuan yelled viciously: "Stop emphasizing objective reasons! The Yunbao Battalion is the elite of the Qing army, how is it compared with the Japanese army? You beat the Qing army like this. How about you fight the Japanese army? Are you going to wipe out the entire army!"

Cao Zheng said: "We must sum up experience and lessons, and make corrections!"

Lin Yuan said: "Your army will continue to attack the Qing army according to the established plan. The rest of the Qing army is a rotten persimmon. It's easy to pinch. You should immediately recruit people to find out the problems existing in your army, and then summarize them into a report. Give me!"

Cao Zheng asked cautiously: "Shuai Lin, when will we hand over this report to you?"

Lin Yuan sneered and said, "Give it to me after ten years!"

Cao Zheng heard that Lin Yuan was mocking him, so he said: "Yes, I understand, I will hand over this report to you as soon as possible!"

Lin Yuan put down the communicator, and Liu Yufeng, the head of the guard, came over and said, "Shuai Lin, are you okay? I've never seen you get so angry before."

Lin Yuan shook his head and said, "I'm fine, you can go about your business."

Liu Yufeng said: "Then I'm going out, call me if you need anything." Lin Yuan nodded, and as soon as Liu Yufeng left, Lin Yuan thought: "I shouldn't blame the Ninth Division for this matter, most of the Ninth Division's recruits, Insufficient combat experience, inexperienced will not be able to make the correct choice when an emergency comes, and will definitely make many mistakes in this battle."

"Also, is there something wrong with the way I let them hit the hard bones first, and then the soft persimmons?" Lin Yuan couldn't help but stand up when he thought of this problem, and walked slowly in the room, thinking: "Qing The elite troops of the Qing army must also be composed of poor people. They were just bewitched by the Qing court. If I let the troops fight those militias first, and then slowly divide and disintegrate the elite troops of the Qing army after they are defeated, the effect will be great. Wouldn't it be better?"

Lin Yuan thought that he connected to Cao Zheng's radio station, and Cao Zheng said cautiously: "Shuai Lin, time is too tight, our investigation team has not been selected yet."

Lin Yuan said: "I thought about it carefully just now, and found out that I am also responsible for this matter."

Cao Zheng hurriedly said: "Shuai Lin, I already know that I was wrong, so please stop mocking me..."

Lin Yuan said: "I'm not mocking you. I'm telling the truth. In future battles, you can change your thinking. First pinch the soft persimmons of the Qing army, first fight the Qing army militia, and then fight the Qing army's elite fighters." The method is to destroy the militiamen of the Qing army, and then surround the elite of the Qing army, surround them without fighting, and use the tactics of division and disintegration to deal with them, the effect may be better."

Cao Zheng said: "I understand, let's adjust the direction of our main attack."

Lin Yuan said: "Okay then, hurry up."

That night, at 23 o'clock on October 26, the 27th and [-]th Brigades launched an attack on the Qing army on the two wings of Songbai Town. , and soon cut the two wings of the Qing army into several pieces, and the heads and tails of the various ministries could not look at each other, and the Qing army suddenly fell into chaos.

These Qing troops were not elite troops. They surrendered without much resistance under the attack of Lin Yuan's troops. In the early morning of October 24, Lin Yuan's troops approached Hetang Town and Tongxiang. The Qing troops were arranged in three lines along the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal. , from north to south, the first line is Songbai Town, the second line is Hetang Town and Tongxiang, and the third line is Shimen Town, which is in fierce battle.

It has been more than a day since Wu Dayong and Morishataro attacked the [-]th Division in Shimen Town. Without the calm demeanor of the past, at this moment, they heard the news that the Songbai garrison was wiped out and Wu Dameng committed suicide.

Wu Dayong slapped his head hard when he heard this, and said: "My elite cloud leopard battalion! It's just gone, and my own brother!"

Mori Natsutaro said: "General Wu, please mourn. Now our situation is very critical. Lin Yuan's troops broke through the defense line of Songbai Town. Now we can only rely on Hetang Town and Tongxiang to stop them. We must speed up our attack."

Wu Dayong said with a sad face: "Mr. Senxia, ​​I also want to capture Shimen Town, but the problem now is: Lin Ni's bandits are like old trees with roots, motionless, we take them as There is no way at all!"

Mori Natsutaro said: "Now the only thing we can do is to let the defenders of Ningbo Mansion and Shaoxing Mansion go out as soon as possible!"

Wu Dayong said: "Mr. Senxia, ​​please come forward and tell me this. You also know that Zhang Haixiao and my boss Xu Shan are on the same level, and I cannot command him."

Mori Natsutaro said: "Okay, I'll send a report to General Kodama and ask him to coordinate immediately and order Zhang Haixiao to send troops!"

Mori Natsutaro then sent a telegram, Kodama Gentaro immediately asked the Qing government to order Zhang Haixiao to dispatch troops after receiving the telegram, at 24 o'clock in the morning on October [-], Zhang Haixiao ordered the troops to leave the port on a private ship that had been conscripted, and went to the territory under the jurisdiction of Jiaxing Prefecture, Lin Yuan's army Lin Yuan's landing ship force was waiting for them outside the port.
