Chapter 17 The Battle of Songhu

()[Please collect, please recommend, all kinds of please, thank you.A chapter will be updated at 6 p.m.]

On August 8th, Japan ordered a general mobilization to form the "Shanghai Expeditionary Army" with the 15rd and 3th divisions as the backbone. The Emperor of Japan appointed General Matsui Iwane as the commander. And occupied the main line of Shanghai and its northern area

The Chinese side wasted two days of precious time because they believed in the adjustment of the great powers. At this time, Shanghai Japan had already summoned all the overseas Chinese to join the army, with a total force of more than 200. With the good Japanese army, with the convenience of fortifications and street fighting, it can be taken there so easily.

Due to the leak of Japanese spies around Chiang Kai-shek, the government's plan to annihilate the Japanese warships in the Yangtze River also completely fell through. This made Zhang Jun regret it, and he actually forgot about it.

In this way, both China and Japan continued to invest in troops in one place in Shanghai. In this campaign, the Kuomintang successively invested 78 divisions, 7 Duli brigades, 3 temporary brigades, the Central Military Academy Teaching Corps, the Artillery 7th Regiment, and the Ministry of Finance Tax Jing Corps , 1 military police regiment, Shanghai Municipal Security Corps, Shanghai Police Corps, 4 Jiangsu Provincial Security Corps, and 3 naval fleets, with a total strength of more than 75. The Japanese army invested 5 divisions and 1 brigade with 20 people. After two months of fierce fighting, the Japanese army relied on strong firepower to break through the Chinese army's defense line, but at this time China was defeated but not chaotic.

At this time, Chiang Kai-shek was already an ant on the hot pot, and the development of the war situation was so unsatisfactory. According to intelligence, the Japanese army increased its troops again. It is very likely that the Japanese army in Shanghai will reach an unprecedented 30 people. There are almost 15 people, and many elite troops of the central yang army have been disabled. For example, the three German armor divisions, the 36, 87,88, and [-] divisions, have lost more than half of them in the street battles in Shanghai. This makes Chiang Kai-shek feel sad Bleeding, if one's own elites are exhausted, then what will restrict those princes? At this time, Chiang Kai-shek is already in a dilemma. He will lose all his elites, and lose the hearts of the people and the army if he does not.

At noon on November [-], [-]:

Dai Li, the director of the Military Control Bureau, took a briefcase and hurried into Chiang Kai-shek's official residence in Nanjing. This time, Dai Li had an important intelligence report. For this information, he sacrificed a group of intelligence personnel. Hundreds of thousands of people died, so Dai Li hurried to see the chairman, even if he disturbed the chairman's rest until now.

"Commissioned seat, through the efforts of our intelligence personnel, we finally got the latest battle plan of the Japanese army. Please have a look."

Chiang Kai-shek's drowsy rigor suddenly let out a flash of light, and quickly snatched the Japanese army's battle plan from Dai Li's hand, looked at it quickly, and then "Ah!", the Japanese army's battle plan fell to the ground.

"Dai Li, find Zhang Jun for me quickly, and please ask relevant personnel from the Ministry of National Defense to be there immediately. There is a major military incident."

This battle plan clearly stated that the Japanese army secretly formed the Tenth Army in China, and it has now been transported to the sea outside Shanghai. It will land at Jinshanwei on November 70th, and then surround more than [-] people. If Japan succeeds in this, then Chiang Kai-shek will be finished.At this time, Chiang Kai-shek remembered Zhang Jun's battle plan, which clearly predicted that the Japanese army would land at Jinshanwei, but he, Chiang Kai-shek, ignored it at all. Now that the situation is extremely critical, he only remembered Zhang Jun, and it was not hopeless. As far as medicine is concerned, there is still a lot to do.

In the fierce battle of the first two months, the Chinese army suffered 15 casualties, while the Japanese army suffered less than [-] casualties. This made the Japanese even more arrogant to believe that the Chinese army was vulnerable, which would also benefit Zhang Jun implements the strategy of luring the enemy to go deep, resisting step by step, continuing to consume, and finally counterattacking.

When Dai Li nodded and bowed to find Zhang Jun, Zhang Jun was leading several division commanders to deduce the development of the battle in the war room!In fact, Zhang Jun is also very worried. Why hasn't the chairman summoned him yet? After the Japanese army lands in Jinshanwei, the matter will develop to the point where it cannot be dealt with. Today Zhang Jun is discussing with Rommel and others, and will secretly send troops to station tonight As for Jinshanwei, although Zhang Jun was unwilling to send his troops within the attack range of the Japanese naval guns, the fate of saving 70 soldiers must prompt him to do so.

But now that the chairman had summoned him, it meant that things had turned around. Zhang Jun quickly followed Dai Li to the Ministry of Defense with relevant information.

When Zhang Jun entered the meeting hall of the Ministry of National Defense wearing an SS uniform, all the generals were very surprised why this German came to the meeting room of the Ministry of National Defense today.Chiang Kai-shek's words interrupted everyone's doubts.

"Everyone, now I can announce this top-secret battle plan. According to the real strength of China and Japan, and at the same time for the sake of confidentiality, I did not announce this battle plan. This plan was personally presided over by me. I hope that In everyone's sincere unity, earnestly implement it, if there is slack, it will be punished by military law."

Zhang Jun doesn't care whether Chiang Kai-shek puts gold on his face, the important thing is that this battle plan has a stage for him to display. It would be great to have Chiang Kai-shek with a big backer to stand up and support him.

"Now, Colonel Zhang Jun, please explain this battle plan."

There was a few sparse applause from below. Zhang Jun didn't care what those high-ranking officials thought. He had no intention of fighting for power here. He was just doing his part for this suffering motherland. .

"Thank you, Chairman, for giving me this opportunity. This plan was inspired by the Chairman, and was formulated according to the Chairman's tactical thinking. In order to keep it secret, I used another set of combat plans, only the first phase and the last one. The battle plan is the same.

Now that our army has completed the first phase of combat missions and goals, I think everyone knows that the original intention of the Japanese army is to fight our side in North China, and the main force of our army is basically deployed in the south. It will take thousands of kilometers to go to the north. However, we have no air superiority. The Japanese army only needs to bomb the railway with planes to cut off our army's supply. If our army's elite is completely wiped out, there will be no hope of victory in the Anti-Japanese War.

Since we have no hope of victory in the north, we will put the battlefield at our doorstep, that is, the Songhu and Nanjing areas, which have five advantages: convenient command, easy concentration, and convenient supply. The many harbors in the south of the Yangtze River are not conducive to the enemy , It is easy to move the perception of the great powers and help more.Therefore, the chairman put the battlefield in Songhu and Nanjing.

And Japan is not willing to fight with us in Shanghai, so we can only lure the enemy to Songhu, let the Japanese army dispatch troops to Shanghai on a large scale, and reduce the military investment in North China. We have successfully completed this stage, although We paid a heavy price, but we also dealt a heavy blow to the Japanese bandits, shattering the Japanese bandits' three-month self-forgetfulness in China.

Now the battle is entering the second stage, continue to entice the enemy to go deeper. I believe everyone has checked the current three defense lines. They are definitely of first-class quality. If the Japanese army wants to break through these three defense lines, they will pay very heavy casualties , The combat thinking of the second stage is to continue to lure the enemy deep, rely on fortifications to resist steadily, continue to consume the vital strength of the Japanese army, and prepare for the third stage.The combat time in this phase is two months

The specific arrangement is that the armies participating in the war in Shanghai will retreat in an orderly manner to the defense lines of each country tonight, and the Ministry of National Defense will make specific arrangements.

In the third stage, the Japanese army had already broken through the first two defense lines and had been fighting with the troops on the Sideng Line for a long time. Our army voluntarily abandoned the Sideng Line, and the defending armies on the Sideng Line retreated into Wuxi immediately. In the two cities of Jiangyin and Jiangyin, the Japanese army entered the Nanjing area, and the land from Nanjing to Wuxi and Jiangyin is very flat, and there is no water network, which is very conducive to the assault of armored troops, and the armored army we formed will be able to attack The Japanese army entering the city of Nanjing launched a counterattack. At this time, the exhausted Japanese army could only be crushed to death like bedbugs in front of our armored army. .

And our new air force did not participate in the battle during the first battle, one is to paralyze the enemy and the other is to give them more training time. In the third stage, our air force will regain air supremacy for more than ten days. "

"Papa papa..." The applause from the entire Ministry of National Defense became enthusiastic. Everyone is a soldier. Zhang Jun's plan can be seen as reasonable or not. Even if the third stage cannot counterattack the offensive of the Japanese army, These people still don’t understand the power of the German armored division) In front of the three defense fortifications, I was also defending the enemy’s attack, so the casualty ratio was not the same as in the street fighting in Shanghai. In the street fighting in Shanghai, we held Crude weapons are used to attack the elite Japanese army, and the Japanese army is still relying on solid fortifications. Can the casualties be small?

The commander-in-chief this time has suddenly become Chiang Kai-shek, the deputy commanders are He Yingqin and Li Zongren, and Zhang Jun is still the commander of his 74th Army, commanding the three-stage counterattack mission, Zhang Jun has no intention of fighting for any rights, since Chiang Kai-shek wants to personally Command, then let him command in person, and he can step up his training now, and wait until the third stage, so that he can deal heavy damage to the Japanese bandits.

"Reporting to the commander, last night, the squadron withdrew across the board. The frontline troops of our army thought that the squadron was changing defenses, so they didn't report it. It was only discovered this morning that all the squadrons had retreated to their defense lines. up."

"Ba Ga, check for me, who leaked the battle plan."

"Hi!"

Can Matsui Iwane not be angry?It is scheduled to land at Jinshanwei on November [-]th, and then cut off the retreat of the squadron in one day, so that the elite of the squadron can be wiped out, and then the Chiang Kai-shek government is forced to surrender. Now it is completely useless.The spy war between the two sides is in full swing again in Shanghai.

Zhang Jun was idle again. Zhang Jun understood the factions and power struggles in the government. Ever since Zhang Jun was invited to participate in the National Defense Conference, Zhang Jun had never been invited, let alone a commander. The right, not even the right to intervene, only a copy of the daily battlefield briefing will be sent to Zhang Jun, so that Zhang Jun and the others can understand how the battle situation has developed.
