9.84 Trade-offs

Huang Haoran and Jiang Baili also did not want Zhang Fakui to repeat the Chinese army's battle at Songhu, so they both believed that the 2nd Corps must not fight the Japanese on the beachhead, but should avoid the Japanese army's edge and rely on a solid second-line position to fight a tug-of-war with the Japanese army. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info Only in this way can the Chinese army play a different momentum in the Battle of Wuhan!

If a large amount of military power is easily consumed on such a battlefield of little significance, when it really comes to the point where it is necessary to hit the troops to fight a war of annihilation, most of them will be overstretched! In the end, you can only let the unqualified troops hurry, and the disadvantages of this are already clear in the battle of Lanfeng.

The fate of the 2nd Army Corps must be saved, so that the Battle of Wuhan can turn into a meat grinder to destroy the Japanese army!

However, it is an absolutely great project to find a way to change the operational plan that has already been finalized by the Central Military Commission, and it will take quite a long time! The Horse Fortress is the barrier of Jiujiang, and the time it takes to correct the mistakes of the Military Commission can only be obtained from the Horse Fortress!

Huang Haoran needs the Madao Fortress to hold on as long as possible, so that he can have time to convince Xue Yue, persuade Chen Cixiu, and persuade the highest authorities to change the fate of Zhang Fakui and even the entire Wuhan Battle!

When Huang Haoran left Madao, he left two new forces in the fortified area, which had become the forefront of the Battle of Wuhan: an infantry regiment drawn from the 16th Army and 12 90-mm mountain guns eliminated by the artillery units of the 25th Army.

The mountain cannon is a gift from Huang Haoran to Bao Changyi, and if these 12 90mm mountain guns are placed in the strong fortress fortifications, the possibility of survival and the combat power will definitely be greatly improved.

An infantry regiment with strong combat effectiveness was drawn from the 16th Army and handed over to Bao Changyi for command, hoping that the fortress could hold out for a long time. To achieve this, there must be enough troops to garrison the core of the fortress!

Now, Huang Haoran has decided to send another support army to the fortress, the independent 47th Brigade under the 25th Group Army!

That's right! The 47th Independent Brigade is the overseer team sent by Huang Haoran to Madao Fortress! In order to gain enough time, Huang Haoran could only take a knife against the 16th Army and the Marines and roast them on the fire! In this kind of bitter battle, which is likely to be wiped out by the whole army, consciousness is unreliable!

Except for the same number, this newly formed independent 47th brigade has nothing to do with the independent 47th brigade that Xie Wendong led before. In the latest round of army reorganization, Huang Haoran separated the reorganized independent 47th Brigade from the operational sequence of the 99th Army and assumed the role of a unit directly under the 25th Group Army, and Zhang Guangfu, the former commander of the 139th Division and the commander of the 538th Regiment, was appointed as the new brigade commander of the independent 47th Brigade.

The various units of the 25th Group Army are now in a relatively scattered position, among which the 27th Army, which has not been received for a long time, has remained near Jiujiang, and the old units of the 99th Army and the 100th Army have stayed near Wuhan because they have not completely completed their rearmament.

Therefore, Huang Haoran decided to arrange the sortie sequence according to the actual situation, the 27th Army was placed in the first echelon of the sortie sequence, the second echelon was Cao Fulin's 55th Army, and the last group was the 99th Army, the 100th Army and several directly subordinate troops of the 25th Group Army.

Huang Haoran also had the advantage of doing this that he could avoid the concerns of the officers and men of the 27th Army, who had just joined the 25th Group Army not long ago, and Huang Haoran ordered Zhang Guangfu to take the independent 47th Brigade to the forefront of the whole group army, which was equivalent to giving the officers and men of the 27th Army a reassurance.

Hearing Huang Haoran say that he had decided to send the 47th Independent Brigade to Madao Fortress, Zhang Fakui immediately said that the 2nd Army Corps could also transfer an infantry division to Madao Fortress! As the direct beneficiary of the defense of the fortress, the 2nd Legion has no reason to stand by and watch!

So in just two days, the combat effectiveness of the defenders of the fortress has been improved for the second time!

And all this, the Japanese army on the Anqing side knows nothing!

After Jiang Baili and Zhang Fakui left, Huang Haoran begged his old friend Qian Dajun to call again, asking the air force to launch a bombing campaign against the Japanese ships on the Yangtze River channel in the upper reaches of Anqing! Now even if it is something that can delay the Japanese for five minutes, he must do it!

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

The Hatada detachment conquered Anqing in one day, which greatly pleased the commander of the Japanese Central China Dispatch Army, Shunroku Hata, and he specially telegraphed the base camp to reward the Hatata detachment and Lieutenant General Hatada Shigeichi. With Anqing's battle example in front of him, Shunroku Hata thought that Jiujiang was just around the corner. So he prepared to impatiently order the Pota detachment to pull out the camp and continue to march west.

Under the cover of the Navy's 11th Squadron, the transport ships and civilian ships of the Botian detachment swooped down on the Jiangfang fortress of Madao, the forward position of the Chinese army's defense of Wuhan that had been operated for months at great cost and designed by German military advisers.

On the flagship "Ataka", Lieutenant General Commander Kondo Eijiro and Lieutenant General Shigeichi Habata of the 11th Sentai Brigade stood on the command platform, observing the river in front of them with binoculars.

"Commander," Lieutenant General Shigeichi Harata said, looking at the navigation map on the command platform, "it should be the eastward flow ahead, right?" ”

"Yes," Eijiro Kondo said with a calm face, looking at the riverside, "There are still 5 nautical miles away." ”

As the leading "China expert" in the navy, Eijiro Kondo, the commander of the 11th Sentai Squadron, is very familiar with this Yangtze River route. But all the navigable waterways of the Yangtze River have once appeared in this figure with a short figure, black and thin, and an obscene image. It is not an exaggeration to say that he knows the Yangtze River well.

After graduating from the Naval Academy, Eijiro Kondo began to fly on Japanese warships across China's rivers. Among the core of China, Eijiro Kondo is most interested in the Yangtze River. Eijiro Kondo believes that the Yellow River, which has become so muddy that it has become a waste water, symbolizes China's history, and that a sailor trying to conquer the Yellow River will only make himself embarrassed by being trapped in the mudflats. The Yangtze River is vibrant, and whoever owns the Yangtze River will own China's yesterday, today and future.

Suddenly, a sharp air defense siren sounded, and the Japanese fleet on the river immediately made a maneuver to evade, and the anti-aircraft guns on the ship were also raised.

When the Potian detachment set out from Anqing, it did an excellent job of secrecy, so it was not attacked by the Chinese air force that day. However, this good fortune did not last long, and after dawn the next day, the clear sky provided a huge stage for the Chinese Air Force. Since then. The voyage of the Hatian detachment was basically spent in the bombing of Chinese planes.

The Chinese plane arrived a little late today......

Flags, flutes, horns..... With all the communication methods available to Team 11, Eijiro Kondo missed the good times at the end of '37! The hateful Soviets actually helped the Chinese Air Force to complete the reconstruction! Now the Chinese Air Force has begun to attack frequently again, and the 11th Sentai has already paid the price of a transport ship for this!
