Chapter 3 Command
The battlefield was quickly cleaned up, and He Ajiu came over again and said to Zhong Yi: "Brother, there is no movement in the other artillery positions, nothing will happen, right?" ”
"No movement is good news." Zhong Yi said, "It shows that the devils are understaffed, and they only came this wave!" They were planning to take out the artillery positions of the Snake King Hall first and then go elsewhere! ”
He Ajiu smiled with a relaxed expression: "As a result, the first shot hit the iron plate, and the whole army was wiped out!" ”
"Don't get too happy." Zhong Yi said, "Even if your Einsatzgruppen is unscathed, even if you keep the six Bufus Mountain Guns of the artillery company, it will have no impact on the overall situation!" ”
He Ajiu's face immediately fell, and he said: "Yes, in the face of the little devil's giant ship cannon and hundreds of thousands of heavy army groups, our Einsatzgruppen has such a small number of people, and a few mountain guns from the mountain artillery company, it is really useless." ”
Zhong Yi changed his tone and said: "But there is no need to be pessimistic, just with our people, plus a few mountain artillery, of course it is impossible to prevent the landing of the devil in Jinshanwei, but there is still a chance to hold on for about two days!" ”
"What?!" He Ajiu opened his round eyes and looked at Zhong Yi like an idiot.
After a long time, He Ajiu swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and then asked in a low voice, "Brother, do you know what you were talking about just now?" ”
Zhong Yi nodded and said in a deep voice: "I said, we have a chance to defend Jinshanwei and Haiphong for about two days!" ”
"You're not kidding!" He Ajiu shouted, "If the devil really plans to land in Jinshanwei, then it will not be hundreds or thousands of people who will be killed, but tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people!" Not to mention that there will be a large number of warships, aircraft, and artillery, just with our small number of manpower, these few cannons, and they still want to hold on for two days? ”
After a pause, He Ajiu said again: "I'm afraid I won't be able to hold it for half a day!" ”
He Ajiu's judgment is basically consistent with historical facts, the battle of Jinshanwei, the small number of national juns and local troops left behind, really did not hold even half a day.
After another pause, He Ajiu said again: "You know the teaching corps of the Central Military Academy, right? The Imperial Forest Army among the Royal Forest Army, the strongest combat force in China, the result? As a result, it was less than three days before he was pulled to the Songhu battlefield, and the little devil was disabled! Also, it is said that the Gui Army can fight, and the Seventh Army is known as the Steel Army, so what is the result? ”
Zhong Yi naturally knew about the Seventh Army of the Gui family, and pretended not to know and asked, "What?" ”
"Four hours!" He Ajiu stretched out four fingers and hissed, "It's been less than four hours since I was on the battlefield, and I made the little devil make a fuss!" Even the brigade commander died four! ”
After a pause, He Ajiu said again: "A whole division of the Central Military Academy Teaching Corps only lasted for three days, and an army of the Seventh Army of the Gui Department only lasted less than four hours, and now Jinshanwei only has half a battalion, but you say it can last for two days?" Brother, are you sure you're not talking nonsense? ”
Zhong Yi said: "I'm sure, we can hold Jinshanwei for two days!" ”
Zhong Yi's words are categorical, revealing an unquestionable meaning.
He Ajiu was stunned there, perhaps, what kind of basis does this top student of West Point Military Academy really have?
After a pause, Zhong Yi said again: "However, if you want to achieve this goal, you must have a premise!" ”
"Prerequisites?" He Ajiu said blankly, "What premise?" ”
Zhong Yi said: "The defense of Jinshanwei has to be commanded by me!" ”
This is the only chance, because only Zhong Yi has systematically studied the theory of beach-grabbing landing warfare, and only Zhong Yi can infinitely magnify the shortcomings of the devil's lack of experience in beach-grabbing and landing!
"You're in charge?" He Ajiu shook his head and said, "I'm afraid Wang Zilong won't agree." ”
"So you've got to do me a favor." Zhong Yi said, "Help me convince Wang Zilong!" ”
"Okay." He Ajiu said, "I can help you, but if it doesn't work out, it's another matter." ”
Zhong Yi said: "Without further ado, let's go to Caojing!" ”
At that moment, the two of them left the Snake King Hall, stepped into the foreign car and went straight to Cao Jing.
Wang Zilong's battalion headquarters was located in Caojing, and when Zhong Yi and He Ajiu arrived, Wang Zilong was packing the guards at the battalion headquarters and preparing to leave here.
"Captain Zhong."
"Captain He!"
Seeing Zhong Yi, Wang Zilong only bowed slightly, with the arrogance and alienation unique to Huangpu officers and students in his expression, but when facing He Ajiu, Wang Zilong gave a military salute.
He Ajiu is also a Huangpu student, and he is also Wang Zilong's senior brother.
"Camp Commander Wang, are you leaving?" Zhong Yi asked.
Wang Zilong hummed lightly and said, "I just received an order from Shangfeng, let us rush to help Pudong." ”
Zhong Yi frowned for a moment, and said: "Your Central Army is gone, what about Jinshanwei's coastal defense?" ”
Wang Zilong said: "Jinshanwei coastal defense will be taken over by your security team for the time being, until the 63rd Division comes to take over the defense!" ”
He Ajiu said: "When will the 63rd Division arrive?" ”
Wang Zilong said: "It will take about three or five days. ”
"That's not going to work." He Ajiu was anxious for a moment, and said, "The devil may land in Jinshanwei tomorrow!" ”
"Captain He, what did you just say?" Wang Zilong's expression was stunned, and he said in a deep voice, "The devil may land in Jinshanwei tomorrow?" Where did you get this news? ”
He Ajiu said: "Just an hour ago, our Einsatzgruppen was almost murdered by devils at the station of Haiyue Nunnery, and half an hour ago, Snake King Tang Village was also attacked by devils pretending to be Einsatzgruppen, if it wasn't for the Einsatzgruppen to be prepared, the artillery position in Snake King Hall would have been over!" ”
After a pause, He Ajiu continued: "Brother Wang, what do you mean by that? ”
The prince said awe-inspiringly: "Captain He, what you said is true? ”
He Ajiu said: "Why did I lie to you? ”
"In this way, the devil may really land in Jinshanwei!" Wang Zilong's face sank, and he said, "It's a big trouble now, now the entire Jinshanwei is only half a battalion of our 62nd Division, plus your special team, the rest is the security team and the people, and it won't be used at all!" ”
Hearing this, the expression on He Ajiu's face was a little embarrassed.
Didn't you see Zhong Yi, the captain of the Jinshan Guard, standing in front of you?
Zhong Yi said: "Battalion Commander Wang, the combat effectiveness of the security team and the people is indeed inferior to that of the Central Army, but if it is used well, it can also play a pivotal role!" ”
Wang Zilong said noncommittally: "Captain Zhong, the big battle is coming, go back and prepare!" ”
"Of course I'll have to go back and prepare." Zhong Yi nodded, and said, "But before that, I want to reach an agreement with Battalion Commander Wang on the command authority of the Jinshanwei Defense Battle!" ”
Wang Zilong was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and it took a long time to react, and he said in disbelief: "Captain Zhong, I heard what you mean, do you want to take over the command of Jin Shanwei?" ”
Zhong Yi said without hesitation: "Yes! I hope that the defense of Jinshanwei will be commanded by me! ”
Seriously, Zhong Yi doesn't want to be so high-profile, but the problem is, he doesn't have time to be humble!
Zhong Yi also considered making Wang Zilong a staff officer, but he was sure that Wang Zilong would not be able to listen to him!
Wang Zilong was angry, a mere security captain, how dare he, the battalion commander who graduated from the Whampoa Military Academy, ask for command? This guy isn't crazy, is he?
At that moment, Wang Zilong said: "Captain Zhong, you go, I can treat you as if you haven't said anything!" ”
Zhong Yi frowned, and said in a deep voice: "Battalion Commander Wang, I am serious, so I also hope that you can seriously consider my suggestion and hand over the command of the Jinshanwei defense battle to me!" ”
"You're not done yet, are you?!" Wang Zilong finally got angry and roared.
"Brother Wang is angry, angry." He Ajiu hurriedly stepped forward and persuaded him.
"It seems that words alone can't convince Camp Commander Wang." Zhong Yi nodded, and said, "Then, let's see on the sand table!" ”
"Sandbox?" Wang Zilong said abruptly, "You are a security captain, do you know sand table deduction?" ”
Zhong Yi didn't say much, walked straight to the sand table at the battalion headquarters, and said, "Battalion Commander Wang, I want to ask, if the devil uses two divisions to land in Jinshanwei, what will you do?" ”
Wang Zilong frowned and said: "What else can I do, of course, it is on the sea pond to spread out, and strictly guard against it!" ”
"Then it's dead!" Zhong Yi said in a deep voice, "According to your style of play, with the existing strength of Jinshanwei, it will resist for half an hour at most, half an hour later, the beachhead will be lost, two hours later, Jinshan County will be lost, and four hours later, hundreds of villages in Jinshanwei will be lost under the iron hooves of the Japanese invaders!" ”
Wang Zilong said coldly: "Captain Zhong, I don't know how long you can keep it?" ”
Zhong Yi said confidently: "I'll guard it, I dare not say it, it's no problem to hold it for two days!" ”
Wang Zilong said abruptly: "Can you hold on to Jinshanwei and coastal defense for at least two days under the onslaught of the two divisions of the devils?" What a toad yawning and a big breath! ”
"Camp Commander Wang doesn't believe it?" Zhong Yi said, "Then we'll see you on the sand table!" ”
Provoked by Zhong Yi, Wang Zilong finally became angry, and said angrily: "Okay, I want to see what tricks you have!" ”
After speaking, Wang Zilong asked the battalion guards to disassemble the packed wargames and rearrange them on the simulated sand table.
……
At the same time, off the coast of Hangzhou Bay.
Hundreds of warships and merchant ships of the Fourth Fleet of the Japanese Navy have been gathered together and are waiting to be sent to Jinshanwei!
In the captain's room of the cruiser Ashiga, the commander of the 10th Army, Yanagawa Heisuke, was playing against the chief of staff, Moritake Tanabe.
Tanabe Moritake took a chess piece and said, "Your Excellency Commander, judging from the time, Yamagata Shaosa should have already eliminated the Einsatzgruppen of the Renaissance Society of Haiyuean, why is there no news yet?" ”
Yanagawa Heisuke said: "If nothing else, it should have been a mistake." ”
Tanabe Moritake said again: "If Yamagata Shaoza misses, Kono Shaosa's surprise attack will be very difficult!" ”
"That's for sure!" Yanagawa Heisuke nodded, and said, "But fortunately, even if Yamagata and they all miss, the impact on the overall situation is very limited, and it is nothing more than paying a little more price!" ”
