6.58 Insufficient Japanese troops

The commander of the joint force was Xu Zilong, the commander of the 1st Company of the 99th Army's Special Service Battalion, Xu Zilong turned off the radio from the moment he left the territory of the 1st Army, and only when he passed through Yu Kun did he turn on the machine once and sent a very short telegram to Huang Haoran, which took less than a minute before and after the time of this telegram, and even the Japanese army's listening station could not get any useful information from this rapid radio wave. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

So far, the operation of the joint forces has been relatively smooth, Huang Haoran officially set up a public office in Li Tiejun's military headquarters, and Fan Jie, who stayed in Nanjing City, collected the news of various battlefields and sent it to Huang Haoran, and then Huang Haoran sent the decision to Fan Jie.

The reason why it is necessary to carry out such a complicated procedure and make such a big detour is to prevent the Japanese army from discovering that there is an abnormality in the radio wave communication here in Taoyuan, Huang Haoran learned from the report of Sasaki's gang of "Japanese traitors" that Matsui Shigen's Central China Front has now set up a listening force to monitor the radio wave communication in the Nanjing area 24 hours a day, and it seems that Matsui Shigen wants to analyze something from these radio waves.

If Huang Haoran directly set up a posture of commanding the whole army in Taoyuan, the listening center of the Central China Front Army would easily find that the military headquarters of the 1st Army in Taoyuan had become the center of the Nanjing garrison, and the fact that Huang Haoran was in the military headquarters of the 1st Army would also be grasped by the Japanese army, so Huang Haoran adopted this method of issuing orders on behalf of Fan Jie, so that the devils would think that the radio waves sent from Taoyuan were just ordinary communication between the 1st Army and the Nanjing Urban Defense Command, and Huang Haoran's safety would be guaranteed.

It's just that Fan Jie is suffering in this way, and he, the "transit agency", should be so busy now that he doesn't even have time to spin wool, right?

Laughing at this, Huang Haoran couldn't help laughing, and his smile immediately attracted the attention of He Daru and Li Tiejun next to him.

Huang Haoran saw jealousy and dissatisfaction in the eyes of these officers of the 1st Army, all of which were directed at Xu Zilong.

These people in the 1st Army felt a little resistant to Huang Haoran letting Xu Zilong command a joint force of thousands of people, after all, in this joint force, the 1st Army and the 10th Pre-10th Division together accounted for more than half, even if they didn't need their people to be the commander, such an important operation should at least send a regiment commander to take charge.

Who knew that Huang Haoran actually handed over the command to Xu Zilong, and Xu Zilong was just a small company commander! Where can such an errand get him!?

The officers of the 1st Army all agreed that Huang Haoran was cultivating his henchmen, and Xu Zilong followed Huang Haoran into Li Tiejun's military headquarters, and everyone in the room saw this scene!

It's no wonder that these people are cranky, after all, except for people inside the 99th Army, no one understands the weight of the 99th Army Special Service Battalion in Huang Haoran's mind. Every officer and soldier of this unit was carefully selected by Huang Haoran and Shen Laoer, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the special service battalion is Huang Haoran's Imperial Forest Army, if the officers and soldiers of the 99th Division are the elite of the Central Army, then the officers and soldiers of the special service battalion are the elite of the elite, and the treatment provided by Huang Haoran to the ordinary soldiers of the special service battalion is comparable to that of a battalion commander of the Central Army's German Ordnance Division! One can imagine how much it costs to raise this spy battalion Huang Haoran! Take Xu Zilong, the commander of the 1st Company, for example, his personal treatment has long exceeded that of the ordinary regiment commander in the 1st Army, and letting Xu Zilong command this operation actually means that Huang Haoran has high expectations for this joint force!

Now the sword can only go sideways, the 124th Wing in front of the 78th Division is getting more and more crazy, Li Wen's 32nd Division is blocked by devils and can't be relied on, if the command system of the 35th Brigade cannot be broken in one fell swoop, the loss of the Taoyuan defense line will be a sure thing, Huang Haoran doesn't want to lose the peripheral fortifications of Nanjing so quickly, otherwise he will not transfer the rear troops to the rear continuously, city wall battles and street battles are the last resort, and now the strength of the Nanjing garrison is too sufficient, If you take too many steps back, you will become more and more dense, and it will be a tragedy in the face of the Japanese army with air supremacy and superior artillery fire!

Huang Haoran is now trying his best to reverse this trend, and he absolutely cannot accept the situation of letting hundreds of thousands of troops shrink into a small space and suffer from the shells of devils.

As long as there is the slightest possibility, Huang Haoran will attack! That's his fighting style!

********************************************

Tangshan's 83rd Army was reinforced by the 99th Division and the Second Army Corps and fought with the Japanese army, and there were a large number of permanent fortifications on the periphery of Nanjing, which were now relied on by Huang Haoran.

Before the Japanese army launched a full-scale attack on these fortifications, Huang Haoran had issued a strange order, that is, all the troops stationed in the fortifications must wake up the pre-arranged positions and move them on a large scale, especially the command and communication departments, and absolutely not stay in the original fortification area.

The senior officers of the Nanjing Garrison were also very disgusted with this order at that time, but after the war, these people soon found out that Huang Haoran was right again, the Japanese army did not know where to get the information about these permanent fortifications around Nanjing, and carried out artillery bombardment and bombardment of the weak points and key areas of the fortifications as soon as they came up, if it were not for Huang Haoran's order that the people below would have been prepared, maybe the devil could have paralyzed the Nanjing Garrison with this hand!

Huang Haoran's strange order once again saved the Nanjing garrison!

Fan Jie also hesitated when giving this order, Huang Haoran's whimsical order looked like he was putting on small shoes for the officers below, and Fan Jie was of course worried that the people below would resist.

However, Huang Haoran's attitude was very resolute at that time, so Fan Jie did so, and after the war, seeing the situation reported by various ministries, Fan Jie couldn't help but ask Huang Haoran what the analysis of this "unpredictable prophet" was based on.

Huang Haoran asked Fan Jie lightly, and then continued to look at his map:

"Do you remember the last time Falkenhausen gave us advice?"

Of course, Fan Jie knew that Huang Haoran had something to say, but he couldn't see anything from the limited information given by Huang Haoran, so Fan Jie had no choice but to answer the superficial meaning of Huang Haoran's question:

"Hearing what the commander said, I also think that Falkenhausen has been a little strange recently, as if these German advisers have become quiet, and Falkenhausen is also like a mud bodhisattva at the military meeting of the General Staff, which is not very similar to his previous style......

"Look, didn't you even notice? When we were not at war with Japan, Falkenhausen was a staunch main battle faction, and after the 77 Incident, this old man jumped up and down to ask the Central Army to launch a full-scale counteroffensive, and he dared to make trouble even in front of the commission, and now he suddenly died down, doesn't this mean something? Actually, I still have a good impression of Falkenhausen, and I know that you like him too, after all, you have also stayed in Germany......."

Huang Haoran's tone of voice was very relaxed, as if he was telling an anecdote, but these words were very different in Fan Jie's ears, how could it seem that Huang Haoran was implying that Falkenhausen's attitude had changed, and did this have anything to do with the changes in the fortifications on the outskirts of Nanjing?

Seeing that Fan Jie began to frown, Huang Haoran knew that Fan Jie had already heard that something was wrong, since he had already said half of the words, he would simply say it all!

"It is said that Kenhausen betrayed us, and he wronged him by handing over the fortification drawings to the little devil, this old boy's heart is still on our side, and it can be seen from his performance in helping the Central Army over the years that he likes China, but we can't ignore that he is a soldier, and he is also a German soldier! I don't need to introduce you to the obedience of the German army, do I? Falkenhausen reacts immediately to any change in Berlin's position, and the fact that he has not said a word or come up with an idea these days already shows Berlin's attitude......"

"Is the commander saying that Germany has decided to side with Japan? Are our two countries allies? There are so many German advisers in the Central Army, and we also have them in the 99th Army, and this relationship cannot be established in a day or two......"

Huang Haoran's words Fan Jie's heart is in turmoil, he has always regarded Germany as his ideal country, and the German army is a model force in Fan Jie's mind, the 99th Division was formed with a strong German color, Fan Jie has always thought that Huang Haoran likes Germany as much as he does, but now it seems that this is not the case......

Huang Haoran decided to give Fan Jie, a German fan, a good lesson, and now the Germans have not yet turned their faces with China Fan Jie's excitement has become like this, and when Hitler really hugs the little devil, he, the chief of staff, will not be allowed to go directly to the psychiatric hospital?

Huang Haoran didn't plan to be Fan Jie's picker so early, so he gave Fan Jie a dose of fierce medicine!

"Chief of Staff Fan! You better remember that you are a Chinese! I have a message for you, there is only eternal interest between the country and the state! Ally? Allies can't betray? He is your ally today, and tomorrow he could be your enemy! China is still too weak, which is why Germany chose Japan, which looks much stronger! There are some things you may not know, when we first arrived in Nanjing, Falkenhausen's men secretly contacted the German advisers in our army, and they should be putting pressure on them! Now you understand why I want to find some German officers who can't get along in Germany and have no relatives to help us train, right? These guys with good salaries are quite interesting, and as far as I know, Falkenhausen has not gained much so far! Do you want my name to be Feng. Richie came to give you a lesson? His presence should be more convincing to you......"

Fan Jie shook his head slowly, Huang Haoran said everything to this point, Fan Jie no longer suspected that the Germans betrayed China, he knew the Germans too well, as long as there is a crazy head of state in this country that is almost perverted in terms of discipline and obedience, then there is nothing that the Germans can't do, Falkenhausen is just a pawn put by Germany in China......

"It seems that the drawings of this fortification were handed over by the Germans to the Japanese, the purpose of this round of shelling by the devils is obvious, Wuluan can't do it without the Germans to show them the way, I really don't know what's going on here, why the allies for many years say that they will turn their faces!"

Huang Haoran whispered to Fan Jie, the German ambassador to the matter of the failed mediation, and Fan Jie, who listened to the several requests made by the Japanese, was furious, if such a condition was agreed, what is the difference with the kingdom? I did not expect that Germany would have a different view of China in response to such an absurd mediation.

In this way, Falkenhausen's performance was undoubtedly instructed by Berlin, but it was only bitter for China, and after learning behind the German ass for so many years, it was kicked away by Germany in the end!

This is the sorrow of the poor brothers!

The country and the people are the same, and in the end they can only rely on themselves!

**********************************************

Matsui Ishine and Tada Jun used the radio to hold an operational meeting for the attack on Nanjing. The meeting was attended by all senior officers at and above the division level. The current commander of the Shanghai Dispatch Army is the Emperor Uncle Chao Xiang Gong Hatohiko. He is 50 years old, with the rank of lieutenant general, and the Asahika official Hatohiko is the same as Matsui Ishine, a thin old man. He graduated from the non-commissioned officer school in his early years and served as an instructor, brigade commander, and division commander at the Army University. A year ago, he was deposed by the emperor because of his involvement in the army mutiny. However, he has outstanding military talents, especially the level of strategic and tactical theory, which is well-known in Japanese military circles. After the Japanese occupied Shanghai, they were about to attack Nanjing, but there was a lack of commanders at the military level, and the emperor suddenly remembered him and was reinstated. He is withdrawn, taciturn, and has a noticeable lameness when he walks due to a car accident that has injured his leg. This time, King Hatohiko was ordered to attack Nanjing, commanding a large army of five divisions and 13 brigades, including the 3rd Division under the command of Fujita Shin, the 9th Division under the command of Yoshizumi Ryosuke, the 13th Division under the command of the Shushu Ritsu, the 16th Division under the command of Nakajima Imago, and the 101st Division under the command of Ito Masaki. Because the asahoka official Hatohiko took office in a hurry, and he was not familiar with the commanders of these troops, and these divisions and regiments had suffered a lot of losses in Songhu, and almost half of them were wounded and sick, so the asahoka official Hatohiko Wang Xian, who was sitting next to the radio, was a little worried.

The commander of the 10th Army, Lieutenant General Yanagawa Heisuke, was also in his early 60s, a native of Saga Prefecture, who first entered the non-commissioned officer school and then studied at the Army University. Yanagawa Heisuke was proficient in cavalry command, served as a brigade commander and division commander of a field army, and also served as the president of the Japanese Army University. Yanagawa Heisuke is good at studying the offensive strategy of military theory, and is called an offensive strategist by the Japanese military circles. However, his career was very bumpy, and in 1936 Yanagawa Heisuke participated in the campaign against Emperor Hirohito, and was demoted from the president of the Army University to the reserve. In this attack on Shanghai, due to the lack of commanders, he was returned to use. After having tasted enough of being degraded and powerless, Yanagawa Heisuke cherished this opportunity even more. When he was given command of the 10th Army, he was so excited that he shed tears. Yanagawa Heisuke said to his wife, Hideko, "It's gold that will shine sooner or later, and you can see that my piece of gold buried in the ground has shone again overnight, and I can kill people with a knife again!"

Yanagawa Heisuke commanded half the troops less than Asakamiya, and he had only three divisions and one detachment, counting eight brigades. These included Tani Toshio's 6th Division, Ushijima Sadao's 18th Division, Shigeharu Suematsu's 114th Division, and Kunizaki Noboru's Detachment.

Among them, the 114th Division was devastated by Huang Haoran's Nanjing garrison at Lishui, after which Yanagawa Heisuke gathered the remnants of the 114th Division and compressed it into a detachment, but still under the banner of the 114th Division.

After losing the 114th Division, Yanagawa Heisuke felt that his troops were stretched, and he wanted to take the opportunity of talking with Tada Jun to win more troops for the 10th Army.

Yanagawa Heisuke is now jealous and eager to get more support, and he wants to wash away the mistakes he made in Lishui!

Matsui Ishone, Asaka official Hatohiko King, and Yanagawa Heisuke are all old Japanese soldiers who have been reinstated, they know that they cherish opportunities, have greater ambitions, and their methods are more cruel, Tada Jun is still very satisfied with such a combination, in his opinion, the old generals are much more reliable than those sent by young Zhuang!

Tada Jun first encouraged the Shanghai Dispatch Army and the 10th Army, and then pointed out the shortcomings of the two troops, Yanagawa Heisuke's mistake was naturally the 114th Division, and the speed of the march of King Hatohiko also made Tada Jun a little unhappy, especially the Zhenjiang fortress could not be fought for a long time, and the navy was blocked in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River and could not encircle Nanjing, which was a problem that the opposition in Tokyo had been criticizing.

For Tada Jun's accusations, King Hatohiko and Yanagawa Heisuke chose to accept it all, they didn't want to defend themselves, Asaka Guan Hatohiko King and Yanagawa Heisuke were more concerned about how many reinforcements they could get, Tada Jun was also a Japanese general with great military attainments, he understood that the morale of the Central China Front had been filed, and the best way to cheer up the Central China Dispatch Army at this time was to have new army divisions and regiments participate in the war.

However, this matter was not something that Tada Jun could do, the Japanese army in North China also fell into a bitter battle, the unfavorable situation in the East China battlefield was like a virus that spread to the North China battlefield, and the Chinese army in North China, inspired by a series of victories in the Songhu battlefield and the Nanjing battlefield, was unprecedentedly high, although the favorable situation for the Japanese army did not change, but the Japanese army in North China did not advance a kilometer, and the losses of each city captured were increasing, and telegrams from North China requesting additional troops had been piled up on Lu Xiangsugiyama Yuan's desk.

Due to the constant stumbling of the opposition in the middle, Sugiyama Moto's several proposals to transfer Japanese divisions from Korea and Taiwan to join the Chinese battlefield came to naught, and the helpless Sugiyama Mototo could only secretly draw 15 infantry brigades from the Kwantung Army to strengthen the Japanese army in North China, of course, on paper these troops were still in "Manchuria".

How much Tada Jun hoped that the Asaka officials Hatohiko and Yanagawa Heisuke could exchange their individual requests, Matsui Ishone, who was sitting next to Tada Jun, never said a word, and he, the commander of the Central China Front, of course, also hoped that the troops under his command could be as many as possible.

In the end, Tada Jun gritted his teeth and gave a guarantee to King Hatohiko and Yanagawa Heisuke that he would transfer 10 brigades from the Taiwan garrison to strengthen the Central China Front, which was his greatest ability......
