3.44 Visit the Defense Line

Jiang Baili quickly understood what Huang Haoran meant, and blurted out:

"The best way to add fuel to the fire is to launch an attack on the Japanese garrison in Shanghai, as long as you can fight well, you are not afraid that these bushido admirers will not bet to pull the capital, and then we will follow his big bet to continue to add firewood, and when the fire is burning, the Japanese will be reluctant to get off the table!"

Jiang Baili pointed to the vicinity of Wuxi on the map with his hand and said:

"And we still have two permanent defense fortifications in East China, which can just use these fortifications that have been in operation for many years to offset the Japanese army's artillery superiority, as long as a large number of troops are invested in these two defense lines, this battle, some will be fought!"

In February 1936, in order to prepare for the war against Japan, the Nanjing Nationalist Government divided the country into several national defense zones, and Zhang Zhizhong was ordered to concurrently serve as the military chief of the Beijing-Shanghai District. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoZhang Zhizhong's task is to take the "128" Songhu War of Resistance as a lesson and formulate countermeasures for the long-term war of resistance in the Songhu area. To this end, he sent groups of people to the Songhu Line, the Sufu Line, and the Xicheng Line to reconnoitre, survey, and draw maps on the spot, complete tactical operations and preliminary combat plans, and began to build small artillery and machine-gun strongholds in the vicinity of the Songhu Line, the Sufu Line, and the Xicheng Line. Among them, in particular, the construction of the defense line of the Sufu line and the Xicheng line of the two arches to defend Jinling is important, the defense line stretches for hundreds of miles, and there are more than 1,000 design points and pillboxes that are built forever, which is praised as the "Manoqi defense line of the East" by the media in the West and Japan.

A few Japanese reporters who have seen the hell have even claimed in Japanese newspapers that the Sufu Line and the Xicheng Line are being built according to European standards, and the Chinese army can hold off the Japanese army for more than three months with just these two defense lines!

Huang Haoran also did not understand why the Chinese army did not use these complete fortifications to consume the Japanese army, but concentrated in the wilderness of Shanghai to suffer from the shells of devils, until an accident not long ago let him know the answer.

"Sufu line? Brother Baili, so be it! We're going to take a look at this defense line that Nanjing is building tomorrow..."

Jiang Baili heard a trace of anger from Huang Haoran's tone, and an ominous shadow began to envelop his heart:

"Is it ......?"

In the early morning of the next day, Huang Haoran took Shen Laoer, Fan Jie, and Feng. Rich led Jiang Baili to Changshu.

Changshu, backed by Zhangjiagang and facing Taicang, is an important support point for the defense fortifications of the Wufu Line, and is also one of the main transportation hubs of the Chinese army fighting in Shanghai in the future.

At about 11 o'clock in the morning, Huang Haoran and his party rushed to Changshu, and Huang Haoran proposed to have some lunch first, so the group sat down in a restaurant on the street next to the Changshu Garrison Headquarters.

Changshu's cuisine also belongs to Huaiyang cuisine, with exquisite materials and light taste, this shop seems to be a famous restaurant in Changshu City.

Fan Jie took the menu and wanted to hand it to Jiang Baili, Jiang Baili had something in his heart, so he signaled that he could just do it, so Chief of Staff Fan ordered a few special dishes in the store, and the guy crisply reported the name of the dish and retreated.

Huang Haoran was a little thirsty, so he grabbed the teapot on the table and poured water. Rich, the German guy, was supposed to be on vacation today, but he was pulled down by Commander Huang in Changshu early in the morning, and he was unhappy, but he was still interested in Jiang Baili, a military strategist who studied in Germany, and he spoke to Jiang Baili in German.

Everyone was waiting for the food to be served, and they were a little tired along the way, so gradually there was no sound......

"Little second son, have you delivered today's wine and food from the headquarters?"

The questioner was the shopkeeper of the restaurant, a young man in a short coat hurriedly put down the rag in his hand and replied with a smiling face;

"I just sent it over, and it was said that 'Yu Fattou' hadn't woken up yet, so I would send fresh ones a few hours later, and the wine and food left behind were taken by a staff officer!"

"Did you give the money?" The old shopkeeper hurriedly asked:

"When did this headquarters give cash for wine and food? It's still the old rule, draw circles! The young man shouted.

When the old shopkeeper heard it, he was "drawing a circle" again, and scolded "mother" in his mouth, but he didn't ask again.

Huang Haoran asked Fan Jie to recruit the young man over, and the young man saw more people in the restaurant, and when he saw a few extraordinary momentum, he was busy and respectfully asked:

"A few masters, what are the instructions for finding the little one? But do you want to add some food and drinks? ”

Fan Jie took out two pieces of ocean from his arms, threw them on the table, and said:

"We are guests in Suzhou, we like to inquire about some new things everywhere, ask you a few words, you can answer, and you can take the ocean on the table!"

When the young man saw the ocean, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said:

"I see that a few gentlemen are nobles, but now the ocean is getting less and less, and there are paper bills everywhere, where is the ocean in the hand of the light and fluttering banknotes? If you want to know anything, just ask, the little one knows everything! ”

Fan Jie smiled and glanced at the master's seat, Huang Haoran motioned for Fan Jie to say first, so Fan Jie asked the young man:

"It's not difficult for me to save you from saying that we are ridiculing you, so I asked what kind of character you just said about 'Yu Fattou'? It's such a strange name? ”

When the young man heard Fan Jie's question about "Yu Fattou", his neck shrunk, and he looked at the few "distinguished guests" in front of him again.

Fan Jie picked up the ocean that was thrown on the table one by one, and threw it up and down in his hand, consuming the patience of the young man.

In the end, the greed for the silver dollar outweighed the timidity, and the young man swallowed his saliva vigorously and spoke:

"I don't think a few of them are locals, so it's okay to say that you have listened, but you can't talk about it everywhere! Beware of getting into trouble! ”

After speaking, he looked at the old shopkeeper again, and saw that the old shopkeeper's vision was blocked by the guests at the other tables, and he didn't notice himself, so he hurried to Fan Jie and whispered:

"This Yu Fat Head is our garrison commander in Changshu, because he has a fat head and big ears, and he likes to search around, so our people call him 'Yu Fat Head' in private, which means that he is like a fat fish!"

After saying that, he seemed to be unable to hold back his laughter, and laughed......

Fan Jie threw the ocean in his hand to the young man, and then asked:

"The headquarters is all here for the wine and food you want? What time is it, why hasn't the 'Yu Fat Head' you said gotten up yet? Don't you have any official duties at this garrison command? ”

When the young man saw that he had really won the reward, he became bolder, and said to Fan Jie with a smile:

"What about you, you are a foreigner, of course you don't know, this fathead fish is very lustful, several aunts and wives fished out of the kiln, and they sleep together every night, do you say he got up this morning?"
