Chapter 47: The Pre-War Conference I

4.47 Pre-War Meeting (Part I)

After repeatedly confirming his gains, Huang Haoran stood up from the conference table and paced to the battle table covered with a map, he was thinking about the second half of what Vice Chief Chen said to himself just now, which he didn't tell anyone. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Vice Chief Chen told Huang Haoran that the sequence of the Shanghai combat unit was about to be adjusted, and the reason for the adjustment was the Japanese reinforcements from the two divisions that were about to land.

The battle in Shanghai will be divided into two parts: anti-landing and siege with the addition of these two Japanese divisions.

The base camp believed that in the face of such a situation, if General Zhang of the 9th Army was still shouldered, it would not be conducive to flexible command, after all, the two battlefields were changing rapidly, so Nanjing planned to let Vice Chief Chen take on the command of the anti-landing war in the Songhu Theater.

Since the 99th Division had conquered the Japanese Marine Corps Headquarters in Hongkou before, and the remnants of the Japanese army in downtown Shanghai were only a few thousand Japanese troops at Huishan Wharf, and they were concentrated in one point, and it was no longer necessary to retain too many troops in the attack battle, but the anti-landing operation that was about to start required a large number of troops, and many units of the 15th Group Army had not yet entered a suitable position, so Vice Chief Chen planned to transfer the 99th Army from the 9th Army to the command of the 15th Group Army to resist the Japanese landing operation.

In order to dispel Huang Haoran's concerns, Vice Minister Chen promised that he would never detain the 99th Army within the establishment after the war, and would also guarantee Huang Haoran a good future!

Vice Minister Chen said that he would not swallow the words of the 99th Army, Huang Haoran believed it, and the 15th Group Army was also hastily formed for the Songhu War, which was originally a temporary business, and the 99th Army performed well in the Songhu War of Resistance, which attracted attention. Vice Chief Chen will not swallow the hot potato of the 99th Army at this time.

As for his personal future, Huang Haoran has no need to worry, just by killing the seventh major general of Dachuan Neichuan, it is enough for him Huang Haoran to rise to prominence, Huang Haoran is worried about the defense area that the 15th Group Army will defend, that is, the landing location that the Japanese army will choose.

In the face of the Japanese army's powerful naval and air firepower, there were almost no decent fortifications on the bare beachhead, and it was basically impossible to block the Japanese army's landing ashore, and the support point of the 15th Group Army's defense line should be the Baoshan, Luodian, and Liuhe lines at a certain distance from the beachhead.

Luo Dian! A name that Huang Haoran is familiar with and can't be familiar with!

He also knew that Luodian would have another nickname in the Battle of Songhu---- "Flesh Mill"!

Jiang Baili told Huang Haoran in advance that in the process of the 99th Division's breaking into an army, Vice Chief Chen spent a lot of effort to make this reward, which should have been cashed out after the end of the battle, become a reality in advance.

Does Vice Minister Chen simply think that Huang Haoran's achievements are worthy of praise? As the first unit to be commended in the Songhu Anti-Japanese War, and it got such a real benefit, Vice Chief Chen sold Huang Haoran and the 99th Army a big favor!

Since it's a favor, that is to say, it needs to be returned!

Luodian is Vice Minister Chen's favor for the 99th Army!

Vice Minister Chen's starting capital, the 18th Army, is also in the battle sequence of the 15th Group Army, and Luodian, a strategic point that the Japanese army will definitely swear to seize, will definitely be as hot as a boiling oil pot! If Vice Minister Chen's 18th Army doesn't go in and roll in, I'm afraid it will be difficult to convince the other troops of the 15th Army! At that time, Vice Minister Chen will inevitably be infamous for "preserving strength".

But if Vice Minister Chen just filled in the 18th Army without hesitation, he really couldn't make up his mind.

After all, the 18th Army is the family of his "civil engineering department", and the Japanese army is menacing this time, and it is the elite army division that has landed.

The 18th Army of Luodian must go, but it was not said that the 18th Army could only go alone.

Minister Chen now wants to find a helper who can share the burden for his beloved baby 18th Army!

The 99th Division is the object chosen by Vice Commander Chen!

In terms of combat effectiveness, the performance of the 99th Division in Shanghai is obvious to all, and in terms of personal relationships, Vice Chief Chen and Huang Haoran have some friendship, and the 99th Division, a model division of the Songhu War of Resistance, was put into Luodian, no matter from which aspect Vice Chief Chen can explain the past, the Central Army even filled in the 99th Division and the 18th Army, and the bigwigs of various factions have nothing to complain about, so they can only fill in their own troops one by one.

Moreover, in such a big place as Luodian, it is obviously unrealistic to put two armies at a time, so there is a need for rotation, and with this rotation, many inconvenient things will become convenient......

Vice Minister Chen asked the 99th Army and the 18th Army to be stationed in Luodian together, and at a critical juncture, it was already clear which troops could receive the order to withdraw.

Vice Chief Chen wants to use the 99th Army to save his 18th Army, and then use the 99th Army to kidnap other troops to fight desperately, this is really a good deal to kill two birds with one stone!

Therefore, Vice Minister Chen worked hard to promote the expansion of the 99th Division in the Ministry of National Defense, and in his eyes, this was an advance payment to Huang Haoran.

It is basically impossible for Jiangxi's 121st Division to come to participate in the Battle of Songhu, which is the seed left by Vice Minister Chen for the 99th Army!

For the time being, the 12th Brigade is the reinforcement that Vice Commander Chen is worried about the insufficient strength of the 99th Division! It is also an abandoned son that Huang Haoran can use to break off!

In fact, Vice Minister Chen can directly transfer the 99th Division to the 15th Group Army with the authority in his hand, without having to do these things to compensate, but Huang Haoran knows about the personal relationship between Huang Haoran and Jiang Baili and his wife, so he did not use force, but exchanged the number of 1 miscellaneous division and an empty division for the lives of the three armies of the 99th Division......

Going to Luodian is not necessarily the annihilation of the whole army, and there is also a giveaway from the 2nd Division and 1st Brigade, such a big bait would have been swallowed without hesitation by others, but Huang Haoran, who knew the cruelty of Luodian's battle, had his own plans.

The benefits of the 2nd Division and the 1st Brigade are about to be decided, but the 99th Army, he has no intention of losing it in Luodian!

Huang Haoran turned around, beckoned his subordinates to lean next to the map, he used his finger to draw a circle on the map around Xiaochuansha, Lion Forest, and Paotai, and asked, "If the Japanese army lands in this area, what good way do you have?" ”

Shen Lao Er was the first to speak: "It's not the boss that you have the final say in these things!" I'll fight as much as you say! ......”

Seeing that Huang Haoran's face was not good, Shen Lao Er hurriedly swallowed back the last half of the words.

Wang Shankui looked at the map carefully, and thought for a long time before he spoke: "The Japanese naval guns are very fierce, and there are planes in the sky to cooperate. ”

Zhang Jing, Shen Laoer's deputy, also agreed with Wang Shankui's opinion, and pointed out the strategic value of several key points in Baoshan, Luodian, and Liuhe.

Feng. Rich was very disgusted with passive defense, and shouted that he should start an attack with the Japanese army, and that it was impossible to win the war by defense alone.

Huang Haoran saw that Fan Jie didn't say anything for a long time, so he ordered Fan Staff Officer Zhang's general.

Fan Jie glanced at Huang Haoran and said slowly: "How this battle is fought depends on whether you want to completely block this Japanese army or if you want to get a vote and flash people......

Huang Haoran heard what Fan Jie's words said, his eyes lit up, and he asked, "What kind of play is this completely blocked?" What kind of play is it to get a vote and leave? ”
