Chapter 36: Trimming (1)

4.36 Trimming (1)

"The Japanese reinforcements are about to arrive, and the military commander's intelligence station in Tokyo has sent back news that the 11th Division of the little devil is only 3 days away from Shanghai at most. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info Youchen, what good way do you have about the anti-landing? ”

General Zhang seemed to really regard Huang Haoran as a "jack of all trades", and began to hope to get answers to some questions he had been thinking about for a long time from the mouth of Master Huang.

Huang Haoran groaned a little and told General Zhang that as far as he knew, almost all landing operations in the world were won by the landing side, and the reason was nothing more than that the attacking side was much more advantageous than the defending side in the landing battle.

The attacker only needs to find a weak point on the defender's front to attack, but the defender needs to defend a long stretch of coastline, and fortification everywhere means the dispersion of troops, and the Chinese army in Shanghai is seriously lacking artillery support, so it is simply wishful thinking to wipe out the Japanese army on the tidal flats!

General Zhang reluctantly told Huang Haoran that Nanjing had already dreamed of repelling the Japanese landing, and it was none other than Huang Haoran who made Nanjing dream.

In the 32nd year of Songhu, the intelligence brought back by Huang Haoran created a "flesh and blood beach" for the Japanese army, and also made Nanjing taste the sweetness of the anti-landing.

Huang Haoran immediately realized that with the Japanese Marine Corps Headquarters being conquered by the 99th Division, there was now a wave of optimism in the Ministry of Defense, and the senior staff members generally felt that since the Japanese army in Shanghai could be wiped out by relying only on a single 9th Army, then with the influx of a large number of reinforced Chinese troops into the Songhu battlefield, it was completely possible to put on another good show and annihilate one or two divisions of the Japanese army......

This will not only increase China's impression in front of the Western world, but will also make the Japanese retreat from the difficulties, and when the time comes, a contract can be signed in exchange for several years of peace.

Nanjing's abacus crackled, but unfortunately the war is not a military chess exercise in the office, everything on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and it is almost a miracle for him to really want to happen what he wants!

The first stage of the 813 Anti-Japanese War can be said to be the elite of the Chinese army, the 88th Division and the 87th Division are one of the strongest divisions in China, the 99th Division was armed to the teeth by Huang Haoran, the Japanese Marine Corps can only be regarded as a second-rate army of devils, as for the main force of the Japanese army in Shanghai---- the soldiers in the countryside are not even a regular army, the Chinese army and the Japanese army are also 6:1 absolute superiority in the ratio of troops, such a one-sided strength coupled with Huang Haoran's big golden finger did not wipe out all the Japanese troops in Shanghai, It can be seen that the combat effectiveness of the Japanese army in 37 years is not trivial!

The 9th and 11th Divisions sent by the Japanese Military Department to reinforce Shanghai were the standing divisions of the Japanese Army, and their combat effectiveness should not be underestimated.

Annihilation of one or two divisions of the Japanese army? How does this plan of the Ministry of Defense sound like a joke! It's still very unleveled!

Huang Haoran sighed and said: "We have no choice about the decision of the Ministry of National Defense, but our group army can completely refuse to participate in this beachhead operation on the grounds that the losses are too great and need to be repaired......

General Zhang stopped, turned his body to look at Huang Haoran, and slowly spoke:

"I'm glad that you told me what you wanted, which means that you didn't meet me, Jiang Baili has a good eye, I got to know such a young talent as you, if the people in the Ministry of Defense have half of your eyesight, maybe Shanghai can get a good result! It's a pity ......."

General Zhang opened the briefcase he was carrying, took out a letter, wrote a few lines on it with a pen, and handed it to Huang Haoran:

"This is the latest order given to you by the general manager, you and I have the same opinion of the Ministry of Defense, but I still have to fight to the top, after all, my position is higher than yours, and I have to take on much more responsibilities than you!"

Huang Haoran took it and looked at it, and the paper read, "In view of the heavy casualties of the 99th Division in the continuous battle, it will be adjusted to the reserve of the group army and repaired for two days!" ”

"I can't do anything more for our country, I can only protect the hope of a nation like you......" General Zhang looked at Huang Haoran, who was a little surprised, and said with a smile: "I should also go back to the general assembly, I still need to be in command there, you hand over the defense area to the 98th Division, and then start repairing and executing the order!" ”

Huang Haoran stood up and gave General Zhang a standard military salute, and then watched General Zhang leave.

The 99th Division handed over all its positions before dawn and moved to the rear of the army group to begin repairs......

The officers and men of the 99th Division, who were far away from the smoke of the war, suddenly relaxed, and Fan Jie was busy arranging for the soldiers to rest and clean their bodies, and in the past seven days, the officers and men of the 99th Division have once again put on clean underwear and military uniforms.

The dirty clothes of the 99th Division were loaded into more than a dozen trucks and sent to the logistics department for cleaning.

Whole boxes of cigarettes were handed out, as well as fruit and sugar.

The hot food and hot meals served in the camp warmed the stomachs of the officers and soldiers who had been fighting for a week, and the cooking squad did not close 24 hours a day, as long as you could eat.

The color of blood returned to the faces of these warriors who had experienced life and death.

During the day on the 19th, there was no fighting in the 99th Division......

The other units of the 9th Army did not have such a good life as the 99th Division, and they were still struggling in the rain of bullets!

After receiving a telegram from General Zhang reporting the capture of the Japanese Marine Corps Headquarters, the supreme authorities in Nanjing sent a telegram to the whole army to commend the 99th Division.

At the same time, the highest authorities also urged General Zhang to launch a full-scale attack to expand the results of the battle.......

In the morning, the 2nd Group bombarded Japanese ships outside the mouth of the Yangtze River. The plane of detachment commander Shen Chonghai and bomber Chen Xichun broke down, and they refused to parachute to escape, and drove their plane from an altitude of 2,000 meters to collide with a Japanese ship.

In the morning, our army attacked from Zhabei and Hongkou to Yangshupu and Huishan Wharves. Before 5 p.m., the left flank forward of the 87th Division broke through to the vicinity of the Yangshupu concession to Yuezhou Road.

In order to coordinate the offensive, the 9th Army sent small detachments to infiltrate various parts of the Japanese positions and set fires. In the early morning, the 87th Division launched an attack on Japanese positions from Yangshupu District. Its 522nd Regiment soon broke through the Japanese defenses and advanced in depth, and the left flank of the 87th Division broke through the Yangshupu concession to the vicinity of Yuezhou Road. Our troops attacked the Huishan Wharf and cut off the east and west flanks of the Japanese army. The enemy is on the defensive. Our army lacked the offensive armament, the progress was slow, and the battle lasted until 6 o'clock in the afternoon, and the 87th Division had already captured the Tangshan Road.

Subsequently, the 36th Division from Xi'an immediately entered the battle, its 106th Brigade attacked Broadway Road from the direction of Shajing Port and Baoding Road, and the 108th Brigade advanced from the south of Xiangyin Road to attack Xianggang Town and Yangshupu Road, and the battle of the day posed a great threat to the Japanese flank. The Japanese army immediately dispatched armored vehicles and infantry to launch several counterattacks on Yangshupu, trying to recapture the positions lost during the day, but they were all repulsed by our army!
