Chapter Forty-Seven: Man-Made Fog

4.47 Man-made fog

"Xie Wendong and they fought too hard, Song Xilian also has more than enough strength but not enough, it is best to send some reinforcements in the direction of Moling Pass, otherwise the independent 47th Brigade and 36th Division may not last long!"

Fan Jie's voice sounded from behind Huang Haoran, the casualty report of the troops was a bunch of cold numbers in Fan Jie's eyes, if you want to be a good chief of staff, you must be hard-hearted, Huang Haoran, the commander, can have some emotional fluctuations, but Fan Jie can't. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Hundreds of orders are issued from Fan Jie's hands every day, and even a moment of distraction will make a big mistake!

Huang Haoran put down the telegram paper in his hand, and then quickly tapped the desktop with the fingers of his left hand, because the correct way of playing at the beginning made the Japanese army delay the time of the full-scale attack, so now Huang Haoran still has a few troops in his hand that have not fought with the Japanese army, and it is time to make a rotation.

If the troops on the front line are transferred down to rest for three or two days and then pulled up, the combat effectiveness will be multiplied! Huang Haoran disdains this kind of "refueling tactic" of letting the first-line troops smash and then put the second-line troops on top, not to mention that there are still a lot of military materials seized from the hands of the "military commanders", and Huang Haoran still has the capital of the armed forces.

Huang Haoran made a decision, he wanted to rotate troops on a large scale, so that he could fight with the Japanese army for a longer time! Huang Haoran's fingers stopped beating, he thought for a few seconds, and then changed his serious tone and gave a new combat order!

"Electric order! Yu Jishi's 74th Army's 88th Division and Li Tiejun's 1st Army's 32nd Division changed guards tonight with the 36th Division and the Independent 47th Brigade on the front line of Fangshan in Moling Pass, the 51st Division of the 74th Army went to Niushou Mountain and Tiexinqiao to standby, Li Tiejun's 1st Army's 32nd Division went to Tianjingshan and Taoyuan to change the defense of the 10th Division and the 1st Brigade, the 58th Division of the 74th Army was stationed in the Yuhuatai area, serving as the garrison of Shuiximen, Zhonghua Gate to Wudingmen and Yuhuatai, and the divisions and brigades replaced by the front line all moved to Banqiao to rest except for the eastward transfer of horses from the 10th Division. Ordered Wang Huanzhi to transport a batch of equipment and supplies to Banqiao from the waterway in advance, and then told Wang Shankui, don't make a hard top with the 18th Division, as long as the devil doesn't make a dead move, you can retreat at the right time, I see that Ushijima Sadao's eyes may not always be staring at Ningnan's troops, as long as Ushijima Sadao is a Japanese general, the first target of the 18th Division will always be Nanjing! If you can't fight him, don't fight, the 139th Division and the 121st Division, as well as several brigades of the Teaching Corps, should seize the time to rest and restore their combat effectiveness, and use small units to attack and harass the 18th Division to maintain a low intensity of combat, and finally Shen Laoer, if the 99th Division stays in Xiaguan and does not move, someone should poke my backbone and say that I am preserving my strength, the 302nd Brigade and the military artillery regiment have all moved to Qilinmen, Deng Longguang's several divisions are about to be unable to withstand it, let Shen Laoer help the 83rd Army, and also show Ji Jia Liangfu the strength of our 99th Division! After the 302nd Brigade is in place, let the 83rd Army and the 10th Army change their defenses, and with Xu Yuanquan's Second Army Corps to help the field, Shen Laoer's troops will definitely be able to break a few front teeth of the Japanese army! “

When Huang Haoran spoke, Fan Jie lowered his head and recorded quickly with a pen, don't look at what Huang Haoran said is an understatement, in fact, the scale of the Nanjing Garrison's rotation of defense is very amazing, almost all the troops on the first and second lines have been transferred to a position, and there are more than a dozen units above the brigade involved.

Fan Jie felt that it was still necessary for him to remind Huang Haoran of the risks involved, so he walked up to Huang Haoran and whispered:

"Commander, your action is too big, in my opinion, let's do it little by little, at least it won't cause chaos......"

"Nope! Can't take your time! Be sure to be fast! Next, the little devil will only press harder and tighter, and now while the troops on the front line can still stabilize their positions, they will be rotated and replaced, if it takes another two days, we are afraid that it will be impossible for us to change even if we want to!"

Fan Jie saw that Huang Haoran had made up his mind and didn't say anything more, he immediately called the director of the telecommunications department to send Huang Haoran's latest order, and then Fan Jie returned to the sand table and began to deduce Huang Haoran's plan......

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

At the Xiaguan wharf, Wang Huanzhi didn't expect that he was even busier now than Zhang Guili's gang before the "Fufa", the materials to the rear had to be transported, the citizens of Nanjing had to cross the river, the military supplies from Banqiao had to be sent, and a ship had to be sent to Zhenjiang to pick up the 112th Division and the defenders of the fort.

Not to mention the problem of the tension of ships and boatmen, that is, the Japanese planes in the sky are a big trouble; since Matsui Shigen ordered the blockade of Nanjing's river, Japanese bombers will come to patronize it almost every hour or two, and Nanjing's antiaircraft artillery unit has really shot down a few devil planes these days, but the Japanese still vigorously sent their air force to Nanjing, and they did not dare to open the channel across the river during the day, and only dared to send people to Jiangbei at night.

As for the fleet to the rear of the convoy is also struggling, in the past few days simply stopped, Wang Huanzhi saw with his own eyes the Japanese planes behind the flotilla he sent out, these Japanese planes that lost all their bombs even dived at low altitude and used aviation machine guns to strafe the deck, that tragic scene is really shocking, Wang Huanzhi now only at night dare to let the fleet leave the dock and go upstream, but the time at night is limited after all, plus the Japanese occasionally use flares to carry out sneak attacks at night, Therefore, the number of ships sent is getting smaller and smaller.

Compared with these two things, what makes Wang Huanzhi more anxious is the other two tasks he has just received, whether it is to transport military supplies to Banqiao or send a ship to Zhenjiang to pick up the 112th Division and the defenders of the fort are very tricky errands, the main problem is that the time is too tight, Wang Huanzhi can only catch up with the ship during the day, which requires him to accurately use the time difference of the Japanese aircraft bombing, and there can be no mistakes!

Big brother, big brother, you can really find me a good errand!

Wang Huanzhi can only unconditionally carry out the things that Huang Haoran handed over to him, and he can only complain in his heart at most.

Shen Lao Er is still righteous enough, he knows that Wang Huanzhi has encountered a problem and brings roast chicken and wine to help Wang Huanzhi relieve his sorrows, Wang Huanzhi, who is meditating, can only smile bitterly when he looks at the second brother who is still not in shape, and smells the fragrance of the roast chicken brought by Shen Lao Er, Wang Huanzhi then remembered that he has not eaten since the morning, and he can't think of a clue anyway, so it is better to fill his stomach first.

Seeing Wang Huanzhi stretch out his hand to tear the roast chicken, Shen Lao Er was also happy, Huang Haoran and Wang Huanzhi are busy these days, and the three brothers belong to him to be idle, Shen Lao Er finally went crazy the morning before yesterday after checking the fortifications in the 99th Division defense area five times, and ran to Huang Haoran's headquarters to ask for battle, but as soon as he entered the second gate, he was blocked back by Fan Jie, saying that Huang Haoran was in a bad mood, don't fall into the net.

As soon as he heard that the boss was angry, Shen Lao Er didn't dare to continue messing around, he still knew the weight, Huang Haoran handed over half of Nanjing City and the wharf by the river to his 99th Division It was meaningful, Fan Jie also told Shen Lao Er, Huang Haoran told him more than once that the battle in Nanjing was very dangerous, and the retreat by the river must be pinched in his own hands, Shen Lao Er was very moved after hearing it!

Since the eldest brother has handed over all the back roads to himself, then he Shen Yuanlong has to play with his life! He worked hard to restrain his temperament, but the nature of the country is easy to change, Shen Lao Er couldn't help it after holding back for a few days, watching the other troops fight in an uproar, his 99th Division, the ace army, was actually useless, and the officers under Shen Yuanlong also complained.

In the past two days, I don't know who blew the wind next to Huang Haoran, the 99th Division finally received an operational order, first to transfer a group of troops to Tangshan, and then to transfer the 301st Brigade, although Huang Haoran did not let Shen Lao Er take the troops to the front line, but he felt that the day when he shot would not be far away, after some elation, Shen Yuanlong remembered Wang Huanzhi, who was still suffering in Xiaguan, so he jumped into the car with wine and food and came to Wang Huanzhi's military headquarters.

Shen Yuanlong wants to help Wang Huanzhi be relieved! Now seeing that Wang Huanzhi accepted his wine and food, Shen Yuanlong was naturally proud!

Shen Lao Er poured himself a glass and drank it all, he put down the wine glass and squinted his eyes and asked Wang Huanzhi's eldest brother what order he had given, and he actually stumped Wang Huanzhi, who had always been shrewd, Wang Huanzhi had nothing to scruple about in Shen Yuanlong, and he told his second brother about the troubles he had encountered in his qualifications.

After listening to Wang Huanzhi's words, Shen Yuanlong didn't make a sound for a long time, and Wang Huanzhi didn't expect Shen Yuanlong to come up with any way, so he didn't care, and tore off a piece of chicken and put it in his mouth.

"The third brother, the second brother can't fly! , if the second brother can go to the sky, I will stab you all those devil planes! Grandma's! I don't know where our planes have gone! Didn't the boss also donate money to the Air Force? I don't know if it fell into the stomach of that dog officer! ”

Shen Yuanlong's words frightened Wang Huanyi, he hurriedly spit out the chicken in his mouth and looked around, fortunately, the people in the military department have always been a little afraid of Shen Yuanlong, and they left cleanly, otherwise it would be troublesome for these words to be heard by someone with a heart!

Wang Huanzhi was afraid that Shen Yuanlong would talk nonsense, so he quickly got up and closed the door, Shen Yuanlong didn't understand Wang Huanzhi's actions, he asked aggressively:

"The third! What are you doing here? What's the door closed in broad daylight? ”

Wang Huanzhi turned around and stepped in front of Shen Yuanlong with an arrow step, and whispered:

"My good second brother! Why are you so confused! Don't you know who is in charge of the Aviation Committee now? The eldest brother's money was given to 'Madame', and you are still shouting here! Is it to make trouble for the eldest brother? ”

Shen Yuanlong also reacted, but he still seemed a little unconcerned, Shen Yuanlong signaled Wang Huanzhi not to be so excited, he leaned over and tore off a wing from the roast chicken in his hand, squinted at Wang Huanzhi and said:

"Second brother, I think you're confused! Our 99th division only knows to listen to the boss, who cares about those birdmen in the government? What are you afraid of if I say a few words in your military headquarters? Are there traitors among ourselves? ”

"The heart is separated from the belly! You and I will never betray Big Brother, but what about the others? Can you guarantee it? ”

Wang Huanzhi said it quickly and quickly, he was always worried that Shen Yuanlong's vigilance was not enough, you must know that the 99th Army was not a "descendant" of Miao Genzhenghong after all, and when the battle was won, the military and political department would not dare to do anything to the three brothers, but if the battle was lost...... That's hard to say!

"I think Wang Shankui and Fan Jie are also reliable, as for Xie Wendong and Wu Jianping, they don't look like villains......." Shen Yuanlong had obviously accepted Wang Huanzhi's statement, but he still wanted to defend himself.

Wang Huanzhi already knew from the changes in Shen Yuanlong's eyes that Shen Yuanlong agreed with his words, the composition of the 99th Army was still too mixed, and it would take some time to achieve a monolith.

Shen Yuanlong also felt a little bored by Wang Huanzhi's lesson, he pointed to the roast chicken and wine on the table and said to Wang Huanzhi: "You eat first!" I'll go back and see the troops, maybe tomorrow it will be foggy, then you won't be afraid of the devil's plane coming to make trouble......."

Wang Huanzhi smiled at Shen Yuanlong, he felt that what he said just now was a bit heavy, although Shen Yuanlong was a straight man, but Shen Yuanlong still had a clear distinction in front of the big right and wrong.

The 99th Army is now the home of the three of their brothers, and no one wants to destroy it!

"If there is fog, this ship will not be able to go, unless this fog can stay in the sky and not fall, I think only Zhuge Kongming can have this ability!" Shen Yuanlong's words made Wang Huanzhi's mood better, this second brother can really think about it......

"Yes, it would be nice if it didn't fall, it would be nice if the sky was gray and you could see it on the river... Ay! This scene, why do I really want to experience it, that is, when I was in my hometown, what kind of thing was burned? ”

Shen Yuanlong's words suddenly opened Wang Huanzhi's mind, isn't it! When the hometown burns straw, the sky is often full of smoke and dust, because the burning is produced by the heat, so the smoke and dust will fly very high, the higher the higher the thicker, and then it will slowly fall, in a period of time, it can form the effect of black on the top and white on the bottom!

There is a large amount of farmland in Pukou, and when the straw is burned in winter, it will be made to cover the clouds and the sun, and this matter was also mentioned in the "Central Daily", and later for the air of Nanjing, the Nanjing government ordered the straw in Pukou to be buried and disposed of, but every winter there are always farmers who secretly burn, but because the scale is not large, so the scene of covering the clouds and the sun has not reappeared.

Now the problem is that I don't know if there is so much straw in Pukou!

Wang Huanzhi jumped up happily, he thanked Shen Lao Er, and then ran to the telecommunications room to send a report to the garrison in Pukou without even bothering to wash his hand.

The result made Wang Huanzhi overjoyed! Due to the pressure of the devil soldiers, the people of Pukou fled a lot, how could anyone bury those straws, and there were also a lot of straw stacks for the winter in the farmer's reserves, which was not a problem at all!

In order to keep the secret, Wang Huanzhi only told the troops in Pukou to concentrate these haystacks and straw by the river, as for what was the use, he didn't say anything at all, the Pukou defenders who got the order were the second monk Zhang's head and couldn't figure it out, they didn't understand what the troops in Jiangnan wanted so much licorice and straw for?

Do you want to be a straw man as a suspicious soldier? Or catch the grass boat to borrow arrows?

If you don't think about it, it won't delay the execution of the order, let these rotten troops stationed in Pukou go and fight with the Japanese, they don't have the guts, but now they want to turn their guns and deal with their own people, these people can top ten each, Wang Huanzhi's order is a chance to make a fortune in the eyes of these people! Although they were asked to grab straw and hay, they could be completely flexible when they carried it out!

The Japanese Air Force, which was carrying out the task of blockading the river during the day, also discovered the abnormal movement of Pukou, and Matsui Ishine sent a reconnaissance plane to Pukou to reconnoitre, and after the Japanese reconnaissance plane lowered its altitude, it saw the people running around by the Pukou garrison and a large number of carts carrying straw and straw on the road, and they mistakenly thought that the garrison in Pukou had received the news that the 13th Division in Zhenjiang had crossed the Yangtze River and began to flee. As a result, several division commanders told Matsui Ishine that the Nanjing garrison showed signs of retreat.

Huang Haoran's rotation plan just gave Matsui Ishine a false hint, and Matsui Ishine reported to Tokyo that afternoon: "The Nanjing garrison has fallen into chaos, there has been a wave of flight in Pukou, which is across the river from Nanjing City, and the city of Nanjing, which has lost its rear, is about to become an isolated city!"

Luck is once again on the side of the Nanjing garrison!

After entering the second half of the night, the Nanjing garrison began the action of artificial fogging, a large pile of straw and hay was ignited, a large amount of smoke and dust flew into the air, according to this speed calculation, soon there will be an artificial fog on the river near Nanjing and over the city of Nanjing, Wang Huanzhi transferred to the maximum number of ships, he will fight at night tonight!

The burning haystacks on the north bank of the river are like beacon towers to illuminate the river bank as day, the south bank of Nanjing City is located due to the implementation of light control is dark, and the north of the river has formed a sharp contrast, Wang Huanzhi commanded a large number of boatmen to drive the boat, a team to the upstream, a team to the downstream, the downstream ships are empty, down the river, the speed is extremely fast, and the upstream ships are extremely loaded, the draft is very deep!

Originally, such a task would not have been handed over to their fighter squadron, but because the intensity of the bombing had been too great for several days, naval aviation alone was no longer able to support it, so the 10th Squadron, which was in charge of the Central China Front, was also put into battle.

There are improvised bomb racks under their planes, although they can only carry light bombs, those small boats used to hit the Chinese are indeed enough, what makes squadron leader Onimaru Nakasa unhappy is that this sortie is a night attack, and the fighters are adding flares to cooperate, I am afraid that even the general effect of bombers cannot be achieved!

Squadron Leader Onimaru, with his many years of flying experience, led the entire squadron through the night, and he looked at the compass and was not far from the target......
