The Red War God of Anti-Japanese War

Chapter 256 Burning eel (thank you for subscribing and safflower!)

Yasuda house four and others were injured and captured, marking the bankruptcy of the Japanese emperor's "assassination" strategy.However, the National Defense Forces did not announce to the public that Yasuda and others sneaked into China because of "assassination", but after announcing the inhumane crimes committed by these Japanese ronin in China, they were publicly executed by shooting.Such people cannot be taken as prisoners, and Wu Aihua is not willing to keep them.

"How did you find out about our whereabouts?" Yasuda Zakesi expressed his doubts after the situation was gone.

"There is an old saying in China that if you do many unrighteous deeds, you will die! If you want others to know, you must do nothing yourself!" said Kong Wu, who was in charge of the interrogation.

"A big country, what a big country, there are such philosophical and wise words." Yasuda Zhaisi said with emotion.It's just that no matter how much he sighed, he couldn't save his life.

"You and An Tian, ​​one is pretending to be crazy, the other is acting stupid. Do you know?" Hearing Kong Wu's report, Wu Aihua commented in this way.

……

On the morning of February 1938, 2, Wang Mingzhang, the commander of the 21nd Division of the National Army, withdrew his remnants to Lincheng. For the 122nd Army, the battle was defeated.

At the same time in the morning, the three major armies of the East China Field Army of the National Defense Forces all arrived in the Anji, Deqing, and Yuhang areas north of Hangzhou.

The first order issued by Xia Zhongqing, the head of the field department, was to gather the engineering battalions of the divisions of the three major armies and build a front-line airport in the suburbs of Deqing within 24 hours.

After each unit arrived at the designated location, it immediately entered a state of rest and reorganization, and commanders above the field division gathered at the temporary headquarters to hold a pre-war meeting.

The meeting was chaired by Yu Hanmou, deputy commander of the East China Field Army.This is a round table meeting, there is no rostrum, but the main commanders sit opposite each other.

Wu Aihua did not attend the meeting.If the National Defense Forces want to grow stronger, they must establish the authority of their officers.Besides, Wu Aihua also had his own mission when he came to the front line of the Yangtze River Delta. When the meeting was held, he was no longer in Deqing.

The first item of the meeting was the notification of the enemy's situation. Hu Wen, deputy director of the General Intelligence Department of the National Defense Forces and director of the Intelligence Department of the East China Field Army, interpreted the current enemy situation.

Hu Wen and Hu Bin are brothers, they are cousins ​​with Zhang Quan, and they are from Henan.The three were the first three soldiers in Wu Aihua's hands, and they were the three migrant workers rescued when Wu Aihua first attacked Zhou Ru'an in Changting Zhenru Town to "shovel the communist regiment".

After more than three years, the three brothers who were ordinary farmers are now the backbone of the National Defense Forces.Hu Wen himself is the deputy director of the General Intelligence Department, Hu Bin is the commander of the 033 Division, the 3rd Division of the 3rd Army, Zhuang Xizhen's general; Zhang Quan has also grown into a general, and is currently the commander of the 094 Division. The 9th Army is being formed, under Liu Xianghui.

Who would have thought that the three long-term workers three years ago would become three generals three years later?Such a miracle can only be created by the National Defense Forces.

Hu Wen calmed down his agitated mood for a while, and then began to report the enemy's situation.

"Masters and comrades: The East China Front Army of the Japanese Army suffered a great deal of damage after being hit by our army's "Storm Thunder" operation. Its losses included more than 26000 soldiers, ships with a displacement of more than 22 tons, more than 6 tons of supplies, and ammunition. More than 2 tons, as well as a large amount of other materials, basically paralyzed the combat capabilities of the Japanese East China Front Army.

Starting from New Year's Day in 38, the Japanese army has been supplemented one after another. Among them, the enemy's 11nd Division, which was wiped out by our army and the 32th Division of the National Army's reorganization, has been fully staffed and is undergoing training in Jiading. It is estimated that it will be available in another month. War; the guns, ammunition, and supplies lost by other combat units, including aircraft, ships, etc., are being replenished one after another.According to the report of my Shanghai intelligence personnel, the Japanese army has replenished more than 2 tons per day in the past week.

At present, the vast area starting from Rugao in the north, Jiaxing in the south, Changxing in Huzhou in the west, and Nanhui in Shanghai in the east includes the 4th Army, the 10th Army, and the 11th Army of the Japanese East China Front Army, the Japanese Third Air Group, and the Japanese Army in China. The East China Squadron of the Fleet, the Japanese Marine Corps and other six units, among which the strength of the Japanese Marine Corps has recently increased rapidly, reaching more than 5 people in two divisions.The total strength of the Japanese army's sea, land and air forces gathered in the above-mentioned areas reached 55.

The divisions of the Japanese Army are as follows:

On the South Road, the 10th Division of the Japanese 117th Army stationed in Changxing, Huzhou, and Jiaxing, directly blocking the advance of our army. Just yesterday, the 107th Division of the Japanese Army moved to Jiaxing for defense.

日军第10军其他各部驻地如下：第10军第10独立重炮旅团、第10独立装甲旅团以及日军第3师团要布在闵行、奉贤、南汇一带，其中两个独立旅团及第10军军部驻地闵行；第18师团驻防松江，第38师团驻防苏州河南岸一带，为全军预备队。

The middle road is the 11th Army of the Japanese Army.At present, the 11th Army and two independent brigades are stationed in Qingpu Town, the 6th Division is stationed in Suzhou, the 12th Division is stationed in Changshu, the 115th Division is stationed in Kunshan and Taicang, and the 23rd Division is stationed in Wujiang. The 32nd Division was trained in Jiading.

The North Road is the 4th Army of the Japanese Army. The 4th Army and its main force, the 14th Division, withdrew to Nantong, the 103rd Division was stationed in Rugao, the 116th Division was stationed in Tongzhou, and the 29th and 37th Divisions were divided into two groups. Stationed in Haimen and Start and other places.

The other divisions of the Japanese army were mainly concentrated in downtown Shanghai and along the Huangpu River.

The Japanese East China Front Army has a total of 55 troops, huddled in the Yangtze River Delta region, with dense troops, heavy firepower, and mutual support.The maximum distance between divisions is less than 30 kilometers, the maximum distance between brigades is less than 15 kilometers, and the maximum distance between regiments is even less than 5 kilometers. The average distance between each brigade of the Japanese army is only 7 kilometers. "

"Heads and comrades, this is the current enemy situation. In addition, the intelligence department will keep all combat units informed of the latest progress of the enemy situation for the staff of each combat unit to make decisions." Hu Wen sat down after finishing speaking.

"Let's discuss how to fight this battle?" Yu Hanmou reminded.

How to fight this battle?It can be seen from the briefing just now that the enemy has almost become one. As long as one wing is attacked, the other can catch up in 10 minutes; Arrive within 1 hour.

"Uh, this battle is not easy to fight. The density of the Japanese army is too high. They are like spider webs and hedgehogs. If you hit one place, the others will pounce on you." Shen Chao, chief of staff of the 4th Army, said helplessly.Shen Chao, who belonged to the era of the three major armies, was directly under the commander of the artillery brigade. Considering the importance of artillery in modern warfare, some of the chief officers of the artillery units at that time became the chiefs of staff of each unit.

"Hehe, what's wrong with fighting? The boss of Wuhan University mentioned this kind of situation in his lectures before. It can be used for all kinds of things, such as fighting around the spot, blooming in the center, and cutting the mess quickly." The staff officer of the 2nd Army Group Li Changchun, the eldest, always liked to fight Shen Chao, but no, he opposed it from the very beginning.

"I think, this enemy looks strong, but our army is weak? The devil has heavy artillery, but our heavy artillery is no less than him; Airplanes, can we only fly kites? Perhaps, the only advantage of the devils is the navy. When approaching the coast or river bank, we must be prepared to prevent the threat of Japanese aircraft artillery." Gao Zilong, deputy commander of the 4th Army, analyzed from the perspective of the comparison between the enemy and the enemy. .

Gao Zilong is very excited to play this time.Because Yu Hanmou, the commander of the army, also served as the deputy commander of the field army, so he would have less time to take care of the 4th Army, and Gao Zilong could just show his talents.

"The tactic of besieging and attacking aid is good. I agree. The reason is to remove the enemy from the permanent fortifications and eliminate the enemy during the movement." Huang Renhuan, commander of the 022 division, looked at several leaders at the venue, and then said slowly.Huang Renhuan, the former commander of the 1st Independent Division of the Guangdong Army, belongs to Chen Jitang's cronies.

"This battle is the first large-scale decisive battle between our National Defense Forces and the Japanese army. The size of the two armies determines that in order to win this war, we must seriously consider and implement what Commander-in-Chief Wu said is to despise the enemy strategically. In terms of tactics, we must pay attention to the enemy's thinking. We must not only have an upright decisive battle, but also have strange and changeable surprise attacks. The way is the way to win." Zhang Binxian reminded everyone when he saw that everyone was sticking to a certain tactic.

After Zhang Binxian spoke, Xia Zhongqing, the commander of the East China Field Army, said again, "Before the expedition, Commander-in-Chief Wu and a few of us made some simple analysis of the war. The enemy of the land, if the enemy resists, what should we do? If the enemy is weak and flees, what should we do? The reason is this, but what if the enemy has an ambush? What if the enemy's reinforcements harass along the way? Chasing forward, what is the situation ahead, is the enemy setting traps? Will our army become a lone army and go deep? Commander Wu asked at least twenty reasons why. Think about it, how to solve these problems?"

"Commander Xia made a good point. Generally speaking, our commanders have a good understanding of their own troops and have practiced various tactics many times. However, where are the enemy's weaknesses? When we launch a campaign, what will the enemy do? Response? We have to think about these things carefully." Chief of Staff Jiang Baili also enlightened.

"Commander, chief of staff, you can just say how to fight. The chief of staff also said just now that our division commanders may have two brushes in tactics, but they are much worse in strategy." Huang Zhiwen, commander of the 044 division, said.Huang Zhiwen, former commander of the 3th Division of the 8rd Army of the Guangdong Army.

"Hehe, everyone can't help it. Then let me tell you, in fact, this is also the tactic mentioned by Commander-in-Chief Wu. Note that it is a tactic, not a strategy. This tactic is called 'burning eel'." Xia Zhongqing made a final point. Said.
