Chapter 139: Fighting Wisdom
6.139 Fighting wits
"Do you want the 18th Division to start a pursuit right away?" Chief of Staff Tsukada Tsukasa spoke for the staff officers of the Central China Front what they wanted to ask. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Matsui Ishine also didn't want his plan to become one as soon as he first implemented the two predetermined goals, if the main force of the Nanjing garrison was allowed to attack the 101st Division in the direction of Wuhu, then it would not be long before the main force of the Nanjing garrison would run away from the big net he had just sown!
Letting the 18th Division immediately launch a pursuit could greatly reduce the pressure on the 101st Division in the direction of Wuhu, and also delay the withdrawal of the main force of the Nanjing garrison.
According to this new order, the 18th Division would leave a wing of troops in the west of the Nanjing River to continue its mission of blocking the retreat of the defenders in Nanjing, while the main force of Ushijima Sadao would turn south to pursue the main force of the fleeing Nanjing garrison. At the moment when the chief of staff of Tsukada was about to hand over this order to the telecommunications department and send it to the 18th Division, Matsui Shigen suddenly saw through Huang Haoran's intentions!
"Stop! Stop it!! We almost fell for Huang Haoran's trick! Tsukada-kun! Think about it! When the 18th Division stormed Jiqingmen, Huang Haoran could have broken through, but why didn't he do it? ”
This new question from Matsui Ishine made Chief of Staff Tsukada Takeshi stunned. Oh, yes... Huang Haoran obviously had a chance to jump out of Nanjing City, but why didn't he leave? The Wuhan government's telegram agreeing to Huang Haoran's abandonment of Nanjing had been intercepted by Japanese intelligence a few days earlier. With this order, Huang Haoran's departure from Nanjing was justified, and the city of Nanjing was already in danger under the siege of the Japanese army, and the chief of staff of the Tsukada attack couldn't think of any reason why Huang Haoran had to stay in Nanjing!
There really doesn't seem to be something right here......
"Tsukada-kun! Just imagine, when Ushijima Sadao's troops had just completed their turn and began to pursue the main force of the Nanjing garrison with all their might, Huang Haoran suddenly led the defenders in Nanjing City to kill from the rear of the 18th Division! What will it be like then!? The reason why Huang Haoran ordered the main force of the Nanjing garrison to abandon the defenders in Nanjing and storm Wuhu was to let us order the 18th Division to turn! He's waiting for Sadao Ushijima's back to leak out! I bet that now the 58th Division defending Zhonghua Gate and the Nanjing garrison in the city of Nanjing should have begun to shrink their defensive lines, all in preparation for the next breakthrough! Huang Haoran plans to gamble in Hexi!! He is going to leave Nanjing with the corpse of the 18th Division! He is going to deal another heavy blow to the Imperial Japanese Army! This cunning bastard! ”
When Matsui Ishine said the last few words, his expression looked a little hideous, Chief of Staff Tsukada Tsukada was infected by his commander, His Excellency, he spent more than ten seconds to imagine the situation of the 18th Division, and the answer was that if Huang Haoran really did what Matsui Ishine said, then it would be a disaster for Ushijima Sadao!
Some people may ask, does Huang Haoran's Nanjing garrison still have the strength to defeat an entire Japanese division? On this issue, Chief of Staff Tsukada Takeshi and Matsui Ishine have unprecedentedly the same thoughts!
Huang Haoran must not be equated with an ordinary Chinese general!
Now for Huang Haoran in Nanjing City, it has reached the last moment of life and death, if he is forced to be in a hurry, he can do anything!
Chief of Staff Tsukada even felt that the seemingly crazy tactic that Matsui Shigen thought of was more suitable for Huang Haoran, and it was not difficult to find from the previous combat records that Huang Haoran's style of play was always so unexpected and imaginative......
"Crazy tactics! But it's also the smartest choice! But now we've seen through everything about him! It's time to make Huang Haoran pay! ”
Chief of Staff Tsukada directly tore up the order he had just drafted, since Matsui Shigen had seen through Huang Haoran's tactics, then he would definitely have a way to deal with Huang Haoran! Chief of Staff Tsukada Tsukashi walked to the opposite side of Matsui Ishine and picked up a pen and paper, this order to terminate Huang Haoran must be drafted by him Tsukada Tsukasa himself!
Matsui Shigen broke the command rod in his hand hard, and Huang Haoran's adventurous style of play aroused Matsui Shigen's competitiveness! Matsui Ishine did not think that the Japanese would have a worse adventurous spirit than the Chinese, and modern Japan officially relied on the gambling spirit of a madman to win the Sino-Japanese War and the Russo-Japanese War one after another, and it can be said that without the adventurous spirit, there would be no current Japan.
Since Huang Haoran wanted to gamble, Matsui Shigen decided to play with him!
"Order, transfer the 11th Brigade from the 6th Division, the 55th Wing from the 18th Division to Shazhou and the first line of Shangxinhe, and the 9th Infantry Wing from the 7th Division to Maojiaxiang, I want to put a big pocket in the west of Nanjing City and kill Huang Haoran there!"
Radio waves spread rapidly in the air, and after receiving Matsui Ishone's order, the Japanese troops in the brigade began a new operation......
*************************************************
Huang Haoran asked Fan Jie to withdraw first with the main force The order was issued less than five minutes ago, and the bulls, ghosts, snakes, and gods in the Nanjing City Defense Headquarters all jumped out, and Zhao Xuanyang ran to Huang Haoran with a few staff officers and took the initiative to ask for battle to defend the west gate of Shuishui, if Huang Haoran hadn't seen through Zhao Xuanyang's personality, I am afraid that he would really be deceived by his impassionedness!
In fact, these people went to Shuiximen just to save the plan of "desertion", the Japanese have not yet completely cut off the passage from Nanjing City to Banqiao, if they don't leave at this time, when will they stay?
Huang Haoran did not expose Zhao Xuanyang's nonsense, the next period of time is the key to whether the Nanjing garrison can retreat from Nanjing, Huang Haoran didn't want these cowards to get in the way of him, so Huang Haoran agreed to Zhao Xuanyang's request and sent them to Shuiximen.
In order to prevent Zhao Xuanyang from playing tricks in Shuiximen to pull away the defenders of Shuiximen, Huang Haoran did not assign any position to Zhao Xuanyang, and he did not even inform Miao Hanliu, the commander of the 57th Army, that Zhao Xuanyang was going to Shuiximen.
"Is there any movement in the 18th Division? Send another report to Chief of Staff Fan! Tell him that the harder the fight in Wuhu, the safer I will be! Don't worry! Let the Teaching Corps, the 139th Division and the 74th Army be at the forefront! It is necessary to concentrate superior forces to fight the 101st Division! As soon as Ito Masaki is shaken, he will go straight to Tongling! Then retreat to Anqing! ”
"Yes! Commander! ”
"What about the situation with the 58th Division? Tell Feng Shengfa to shrink his troops as soon as possible and concentrate all his troops! Don't get entangled with Gu Shoufu! Now is not the time to be vindictive! Is there any difficulty for him to go to Shen Laoer, the 99th Division is the closest to them! Let the two of them discuss it! ”
Sent away Zhao Xuanyang's gang of chaotic staff officers, Huang Haoran directly took over Shen Laoer's 99th Division, looking at these familiar faces in front of him, Huang Haoran seemed to have returned to Shanghai with gunfire, this own person is handy to command, under Huang Haoran's dispatch, the entire 99th Division is running fast.
Fan Jie's move in Wuhu, the situation of the entire Nanjing battlefield has undergone great changes, the Japanese 18th Division that originally stormed the west of Nanjing was attracted by Fan Jie's performance, the Japanese offensive in the west of the city came and went quickly, in the blink of an eye, the guns in the west fell silent, who could believe that just a few hours ago the Japanese army was still a posture of ambition to win the west of the city!
Huang Haoran's attention is now focused on the 6th Division in front of the 58th Division, in the past few hours, Gu Shoufu's troops have behaved a little abnormally, obviously the 6th Division has forced Feng Shengfa's 58th Division to the edge of the cliff, Huang Haoran has a strange feeling, almost at the same time that the 18th Division turned to pursue Fan Jie, the offensive of the 6th Division seems to have a gradual weakening trend.
It's a pity that his judgment can't be verified from Feng Shengfa, who fought with the 6th Division, it's no wonder that the 58th Division fought bloody battles with the 6th Division at Zhonghua Gate for several days, Feng Shengfa has long been red-eyed, and in the face of waves of devils rushing up, Feng Shengfa has long had no feeling, in the eyes of the officers and soldiers of the 58th Division, the 6th Division is their mortal enemy! This kind of exuberant fighting mood is of course good, but it also makes commanders like Feng Shengfa lose the ability to calmly judge the enemy's situation.
If you want to know what kind of changes have taken place in the 6th Division, it seems that only Huang Haoran has gone by himself!
"Let's go! Let's go to Zhonghua Gate! Tell Master Shen to bring some people with me!" There's no way to get first-hand information while sitting here! ”
Huang Haoran said to move, he stood up and picked up a steel helmet and buckled it on his head and stepped out of the threshold, Xu Zilong, who was standing next to him, quickly picked up a gun and followed Huang Hao and then walked out, he took the special battalion to shoulder the task of protecting Huang Haoran's safety again.
After the battle in the past few days, Huang Haoran has lost a large piece of Nanjing City in his hands, and the smaller and smaller space means that more and more shells will be encountered, and the streets outside Chaotian Palace have been bombed by devil artillery and are full of big pits, especially the big holes made by those heavy howitzers, which are several meters in diameter! Huang Haoran looked at the ground under his feet and couldn't help but think of the surface of the moon.
Just when Huang Haoran's thoughts were deserting, Xu Zilong suddenly pounced and pressed Huang Haoran to the ground. Huang Haoran faintly heard a sound like a train passing overhead, this kind of movement, only howitzers with a caliber of more than 150 mm can be made, and the shelling of the little devil is coming again!
"Watch out for concealment!! Protecting the Commander!! ”
Xu Zilong's password was clean and neat, without the slightest drag! After enduring a few shells to explode around them, Xu Zilong and Huang Haoran set up Huang Haoran and ran towards the bunker in front, on the street from Zhonghua Gate to Chaotian Palace, such small bunkers can be seen everywhere, when the defense of Nanjing just started, Huang Haoran planned to have a defense battle like Baixia District in the south of the city, because in Huang Haoran's memory, Zhonghua Gate was the focus of the Japanese army's attack on Nanjing, but because everything Huang Haoran did affected the development of the Nanjing war, history changed. It was not until the 6th Division, despite Matsui Ishone's orders, pounced on Nanjing that the bloody battle of Zhonghua Gate began.
These bunkers close to Chaotian Palace have not been of any use until now......
The humidity in the bunker is a bit heavy, and because Nanjing is close to the Yangtze River, the groundwater resources are also relatively rich, and the water content in the soil is naturally larger. Huang Haoran leaned against the somewhat cold dirt and lit a cigarette, according to his previous experience, this round of shelling of the little devil will not end for a long time, before that, smoking is the best way to pass the time.
In addition, the smell of tobacco can also remove the musty smell from the inside of the bunker......
There are also three Huang Haoran guards who jumped into this bunker with Xu Zilong and Huang Haoran, and the standard equipment of the guards is a Thomson submachine gun and two German-made fast and slow machines, this kind of Mauser pistol, known as the fast and slow machine, can be fired in bursts, it should be regarded as the world's earliest miniature submachine gun, Huang Haoran used this fast and slow machine to hit the target on the training ground, and when he raised his hand, twenty bullets were shot out, and it felt really good.
"Look at the posture, this round of shelling will take at least ten minutes, little Japan is really arrogant! Grandma, if we also have so many cannons and shells, how can we lose Nanjing! ”
Xu Zilong heard that the explosion outside was becoming more and more dense, and couldn't help complaining, Huang Haoran said to Xu Zilong with a smile after hearing it: "Where is this!" The artillery of the devils is, at best, the level of the First World War! I don't think there will be more than three heavy artillery units in the war in Nanjing, and there will be no more than 100 guns of more than 150 calibers! If such firepower is placed on the European battlefield, there will not even be a chance to fight back!! ”
Xu Zilong just wanted to follow Huang Haoran's words and continue to chat to pass the time, but the explosion outside the bunker suddenly stopped, in order to prevent the devil artillery from playing tricks and shooting intermittently, Xu Zilong suggested that Huang Haoran continue to wait in the bunker for a while. As a result, five minutes passed, and the Japanese shells never fell again, and then Xu Zilong realized that the Japanese shelling was really over, and to be honest, the time for this round of shelling was really a little short.
Xu Zilong, who escorted Huang Haoran with the spy battalion and continued on the road, kept cursing the little devil artillery for always giving him tricks, Huang Haoran looked at Xu Zilong and smiled silently, this short round of shelling just now was very rewarding for Huang Haoran, and he had found something unusual from it......
The 58th Division of the Japanese Army opposite the 6th Division seems to have really weakened! Thinking about the voluntary departure of the 18th Division and the flawed defense system of the Japanese army in the west of the city, Huang Haoran quickly realized that there should be some kind of connection between all of this, and there was only one Japanese who could make such a big move on the battlefield in Nanjing! That is Huang Haoran's old opponent Matsui Shigen!
The smell of intrigue is in the air! Huang Haoran smelled it...... (To be continued.) )
