Chapter 37: Recuperation (2)
4.37 Recuperation (2)
Seeing that the follow-up troops had not yet been mobilized, General Zhang broke through the Japanese position, and immediately decided to take the opportunity to expand the results of the battle, break through the Yangshupu concession to Huishan Wharf, cut off the communication between the left and right flanks of the Japanese army, and then press on the east and west sides to completely destroy the Japanese marines------ that is, first divide and encircle, and then gather and annihilate them.

Therefore, the 9th Army planned that the 106th Brigade of the 36th Division would continue to advance southward, and after dawn it would reach the line of Shajing Port, Yuezhou Road, and Kunming Road, and its left flank would be connected with the 1st Division of the 87th Division on Dalian Bay Road. The 292nd Brigade of the 98th Division launched an attack on the enemy in the vicinity of the perimeter of Huishan Wharf. The 294th Brigade coordinated with the 108th Brigade of the 36th Division and advanced from the front between Shajing Port and Baoding Road to Broadway Road. The battle plan for this time was to concentrate forces to carry out a surprise attack from the north to the south, and from the south of the American Road, the offensive would be directed directly at the enemy's core position on the Huangpu River, Huishan Wharf, and after joining up with the 88th Division, the Japanese positions could be divided into two and then broken down one by one. The essence of the plan was to avoid the frontal defense of the Japanese army and attack from the direction of Yangshupu District, where the Japanese defense was weak, and its purpose was to reduce casualties and expand the results of the battle------ that is, to contain them head-on, interspersed with detours on the side.
It is said that this was the suggestion of Vice Minister Chen, but Huang Haoran thought it was the idea of the German adviser Falkenhausen in Nanjing.
This seemingly perfect plan has two fatal problems......
The first is time, the Japanese landing force is approaching, and the Chinese army must destroy the Japanese marines before the enemy reinforcements arrive, otherwise even if the Japanese army is successfully divided, there will not be enough time to destroy it.
Secondly, when attacking Broadway Road, the section is backed by the Huangpu River, and the front is the fortifications of the Japanese army, which will inevitably be cross-fired by its marines and navy, and its difficulty can be imagined!
The top brass of the Nanjing army was very supportive of this plan, and in addition to mobilizing the armored corps, a 150-mm heavy artillery company and two infantry artillery companies of the teaching brigade were also transferred to cooperate in the operation.
This very idealistic attack plan was carried out anyway, and the final result was a day of bloody fighting for the 9th Army, but the progress obtained was very limited!
The attack is deadlocked......!
The war in Songhu can be said to be a very strange war, the hundreds of thousands of Chinese and Japanese troops are fighting to the death in the downtown area of Shanghai, but in the concession by the Huangpu River, social dances are held every night as usual, except for more and more refugees pouring into the concession to seriously block the traffic, these foreigners do not seem to care at all about the war happening around them!
Huang Haoran is very disdainful of these hypocritical behaviors of foreign devils!
Isn't it just singing and dancing to cover up the horror in your hearts?
I don't believe you, I don't worry about the cannonballs falling on your own heads! Can passports in the Western world be used as bulletproof vests?
Huang Haoran's disdain was quickly supported by the facts, and the soldiers who checked the documents at the entrance of the French Concession immediately called their commander, Captain Pierre, after learning that the Chinese man in front of them was Huang Haoran, the commander of the 99th Division, who had recently turned purple in Shanghai.
There was nothing wrong with Huang Haoran's documents, and although Captain Piervin knew that it was a very dangerous thing to let such a sensitive person enter the French Concession at this sensitive time, according to French law, he had no reason to prevent Huang Haoran from entering the French Concession.
Captain Pierre could only ask his subordinates to strictly check the things carried by Huang Haoran and his party to see if they were carrying guns.
He knows that this is also a show, you must know that the most important thing in Shanghai now is weapons, and any little hooligan in the French Concession has at least ten ways for you to get a platoon of equipment within ten minutes, but Captain Pierre still wants to show the majesty of the French Empire in front of Huang Haoran!
This is a sense of superiority over the Chinese, an innate sense of superiority of Captain Pierre!
Huang Haoran's eyes were like a wolf, and Captain Pierwin tried to control himself not to lose his temper, but the sweat stains oozing from the vest betrayed the uneasiness in his heart!
Huang Haoran vowed to make the French pay the price, and he must repay everything today a hundredfold!
Huang Haoran, who entered the French Concession on the night of the 19th, came to meet someone, a woman who stayed in Shanghai and waited for him----- Yu Lianjun.
Before the Songhu war, Huang Haoran asked Guan Yongbo to urge Yu Lianjun to leave Shanghai several times, but each time he was prevaricated by Yu Damei, seeing that the war in Shanghai was about to escalate further, and Master Huang had to deal with his "private affairs".
Since it is a "private matter", only Guan Yongbo and a few personal guards are entourage, as for whether there is a "hidden" person following behind in secret, then I have to ask Wang Huanzhi.
Yu Lianjun booked a French restaurant, Huang Haoran reported his name at the door, and the waiter guided Master Huang to a corner of the position, and the guards also had a table, which was also booked by Yu Damei, I have to say that this woman is very careful.
"Why don't you pick a window location? Don't you like that tune the most? β
Huang Haoran teased while unbuttoning his coat.
"Not for you? The scenery from the window is indeed good, but bullets are also easy to fly in, I don't want to be infamy, and what is my relationship with you? It's not clear, how can I get married if people see it? β
Yu Lianjun's nose is wrinkled very cute, since he devoted himself to Huang Haoran, the habit of the children of the rivers and lakes has also faded a lot, and it has become more and more feminine......
"Huh... Are you still planning to get married? I thought it was ......" Huang Haoran touched his nose, smiled and took a sip of coffee.
"Why do you think ......?" Yu Lianjun was poked in the sore spot by Huang Haoran, and immediately changed her fierce expression.
"Hehe, what you're thinking is what I think, isn't it? Lianjun, why haven't you left Shanghai yet? You can't fool around anymore this time, you have to listen to me! β
"Am I still not safe in the French Concession? You see that the little devils are careful when they shoot guns, this place is like a paradise, besides, I'm leaving, who will help you watch the investment in the United States? Why don't I go to Hong Kong? β
"No! Hong Kong can't go! Huang Haoran eagerly denied Yu Dameiren's idea, the British territory will not be safe for long, and Yu Lianjun's best place now is the mountain city in the southwest------ Chongqing!
Yu Lianjun looked at Huang Haoran with some surprise, and suddenly a glint flashed in his eyes: "Hong Kong can't go?" Do you mean that the Japanese will ...... the British?"
Huang Haoran motioned to Yu Da Meiren with his eyes not to say any more, which can be regarded as acquiescing in Yu Lianjun's judgment.
People are still selfish in the end, and when it comes to their own family and their own interests, they still can't keep the secrets in their hearts.
Huang Haoran was thinking about how to deal with Yu Da Beauty's next question, but he didn't expect Yu Lianjun to clap his hands and shout happily: "Great, then we can take advantage of the fact that the pound is still strong, have a good speculation, and then exchange the profits for dollars and transfer them to the United States, the land over there is cheaper......"
Huang Haoran wiped the sweat on his head, Yu Da Meiren had already gotten into the money eye under his inducement, and now what news would be linked to investment in her as soon as possible.
Is this still the proprietress in Wucheng who surrounded him Huang Haoran discharged?
Sure enough, like dragons, women have a natural desire for glittering things like gold and silver.
"I don't want to stay in Shanghai, but I can't listen to your retreat to the mountains of Sichuan, where it is not in line with the overseas market, I think I still go to Nanjing, or Wuhan ......."
Yu Lianjun agreed to leave Shanghai and just let Huang Haoran breathe a sigh of relief, but as soon as he heard that Yu Damei was going to Nanjing, Huang Haoran's scalp began to tingle again.
My aunt, where are you going? You're not kidding me, are you?
Seeing Huang Haoran twist his brows into a Sichuan character, Yu Lianjun began to be coquettish: "Aren't people trying to make you more money?" Jinling is the capital, and the finance there is also developed......"
"Nanjing is not good, if you really don't want to go to Chongqing, you will go to Wuhan for a while, but the matter of buying property in Chongqing cannot be delayed, sooner or later you still have to go there......."
Yu Lianjun saw that Huang Haoran was a little angry, and didn't dare to argue anymore, but Yu Da Mei still had to bargain for some bargains in her mouth.
"Hey, your Huang family has a big business, so you won't even have a place for a little girl, right? Didn't your old man move to Chongqing a long time ago? It seems that there is still a lot of property, Master Huang doesn't plan to let me stay outside your Huang family, Jin harbors Jiao? β
This woman just likes to tease you like this, and then giggled and ran away, looking at you stunned and snickering, Huang Haoran knew that it was time to pretend to be stupid, so in order for Yu Lianjun to leave as soon as possible, let's lose some face.....
Sure enough, seeing Huang Haoran's blushing face, Yu Da Meiren smiled like a female fox who had just finished eating chicks.
"Come on, I won't embarrass you, I'll leave for Wuhan tomorrow! In fact, I have already arranged for the affairs in Chongqing, I just want to see how you treat me, people know that Meng Gege is your fiancΓ©e, I am a rootless wanderer, what kind of vinegar do you eat? β
Huang Haoran saw that his goal was achieved, so he pretended to smile bitterly, he shook his head and said, "I will stay in the French Concession tonight, what do you like to do?" I'll go with you ....."
Yu Lianjun turned his head and pretended to ignore Huang Haoran, and beckoned the waiter to place an order.
The content of French cuisine is really rich, although there is nothing delicious, but the appearance is too much better than Chinese food, Huang Haoran was fighting with a plate of snails when Yu Lianjun suddenly said: "There is a movie tonight, you accompany me to watch it!" β
Huang Haoran was stunned, and the juice splashed from the snail shell was spilled everywhere.......
Yu Lianjun's eyes narrowed into a slit with joy, who said that the IQ of a woman in love has become low? She's just going to make it the other way around!
