Jiang Baili came to Huang Haoran today for the matter of counterattacking in the three war zones, but the question Jiang Baili is raising now is definitely not what he, a great military scientist, should ask. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"How can the success of the Songhu No. 5 combat order be?"

This is obviously a question asked by a superior to his subordinates, and the eagerness in the words is already clear, among the characters of this Republic of China, who else can ask Jiang Baili, the great god, to ask this question for himself?

It seems that the confidence of the highest authorities in the war in Songhu has begun to waver, but the old man is unwilling to show it, so Jiang Baili can only brave such a heavy rain to appear at Huang Haoran's residence.

The sky outside is dark clouds rolling, from time to time there are lightning flashes through the sky, the rain has gathered on the ground has formed lakes, Huang Haoran feels that he admires the central agents on the Yihe Road, such a ghost weather is still sticking to his post, it seems that the life of this foreign adult is really more precious......

"Brother Baili, I won't hide it from you, the new strategy used in the Songhu battlefield is only afraid that it will be a bamboo basket to draw water, and it ......will be empty."

"So pessimistic? At least now the officers and men of the three armed forces are still using their lives. ”

"The bad is bad in the lives of these three armies, if you don't use your life, maybe it's not too bad, this life, I'm afraid it's going to be a big defeat......"

"This ...... How so!? ”

Huang Haoran turned around from the window and looked at Jiang Baili with blazing eyes:

"Brother Baili, why do you pretend to be confused? You know what kind of situation Songhu is today. The Japanese are no longer the Japanese in August, and we are not the ones in August, such a battle plan, if it is placed in the early stage of the Battle of Songhu, Matsui Ishine is afraid that he can only jump into the sea, but if it is placed today, it is not a little brother to say something taboo, Shanghai... I'm afraid I'm going to lose it!"

Jiang Baili was shocked, in fact, when he saw this No. 5 order, his heart trembled for no reason, but the worst outcome that Jiang Baili imagined was not as amazing as what Huang Haoran said at the moment.

Shanghai...... I'm going to lose it?!!

The Ministry of National Defense has just issued an offensive plan, and even if it does not win in the end, it will not lose Shanghai, right?

If someone else said such a thing, Jiang Baili would not have taken it to heart, but now it is Huang Haoran who is saying this, you must know that this little brother of his, has never told lies on military issues.

Jiang Baili couldn't help but retort:

"Although I am not optimistic about this attack plan, even if it does not succeed, the Japanese should not be able to drive our hundreds of thousands of troops out of Shanghai, knowing that the situation in the urban area is still in a balance of power......

"If you know that the attack will not be fruitful, then why insist on it? With the current strength of our army, if we are dedicated to defending well, we can still consume some more troops and time of the Japanese army, but it is a pity that the Ministry of Defense still has to get Longwangshu at this time, which is simply self-defeating! The Japanese in Pudong have a military strength of nearly 200,000, more than 6 divisions and hundreds of heavy artillery units have been invested, not to mention launching a full-scale attack according to the No. 5 order, even the space interspersed with detours has been blocked to death, even if the three theaters are willing to use human lives to pile up now, I am afraid they will not be able to exchange for a victory, and then look at what kind of troops we are now in Pudong? The elite of the Central Army has been crippled, and now the combat effectiveness of our army participating in the war is a few grades worse than that of the early Songhu period? If you can defend with such strength, you have to say Amitabha, and now you are still attacking these armies? Shanghai, isn't it about to be lost? ”

Jiang Baili was silent for a long time after listening, and then let out a long sigh, he admitted that what Huang Haoran said was the truth, although it was a little ugly.

"The matter has come to this point, it is impossible to take back the order of the Ministry of Defense, and the troops in front have begun to be mobilized, Youchen, you tell me the truth, if it were you, is there any way to save it?"

"Brother Baili, don't say it's me, you don't have any good strategies for the military, Order No. 5 is just a piece of paper at all, and you have to be happy if your strength is not good, if you can win such a battle, it can be regarded as unreasonable! The ability to save the brother is categorically not available, but this method of remedy...... can still be said a little bit

"Oh! Then you say you ......"

Huang Haoran walked to the side of the map, pointed to several defense fortifications on the map, and said:

"If we can draw out the powerful troops of several armies from the plan and retreat to the defense line in advance to stabilize their positions, even if Order No. 5 cannot achieve anything, there is no problem in retreating, and naturally the whole line will not be shaken. This is not difficult to do, even if the troops in Songhu cannot be withdrawn, there are still more than 100,000 defenders around Nanjing, and there are also many troops transferred from Songhu to reunite. Wouldn't it be better to pull them all into the fortifications of the defense line and build them while repairing them? ”

Defense line?

Aren't you talking about attack? How did you come so far all at once?

These two places are separated by dozens of kilometers.

Don't......!!!

Jiang Baili's brain was frozen, and he was stunned!

Things have come to such a crisis! Jiang Baili looked at the city of Nanjing in the heavy rain outside the window, the city is not ready for war, if the development of Songhu is as Huang Haoran expected, where should these hundreds of thousands of people go? !

A thunderclap rolled through the sky, and the sound was terrifying!

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

Jiang Baili left in a hurry, and talked a lot to Huang Haoran before leaving, seeing that the direction of his drive was to the presidential palace, Huang Haoran knew that whether the national defense line could play its due role depended on Jiang Baili's means.

Huang Haoran was waiting for such an opportunity when he took General Zhang to rectify the "fat-headed fish" in Changshu, these military defense lines that cost a lot of national wealth, it would be a great pity if the little devils could not be allowed to shed blood here.

Although I don't know how many people have done many practical things in the past six months, at least today's national defense line is no longer as unsightly as it was half a year ago.

With the strong fortifications and a large number of stern defenders, Matsui Ishone's expression will definitely be wonderful at that time.

In particular, the Changshu area, where the 99th Army has been operating for more than half a year, is the slaughterhouse prepared by Huang Haoran for the Japanese.

If Jiang Baili can successfully lobby with the highest authorities, the 99th Army will not have to fight alone on the national defense line, and Huang Haoran will be able to consume the living force of the Japanese on the national defense line with more peace of mind.

It's just that the current proposal to increase troops to the national defense line seems to have pulled Xue Yue, the "Guangdong tiger boy", a bit of a hindrance, and I don't know what kind of situation it will be when I see Xue Yue in the future.

Thinking of this, Huang Haoran shook his head helplessly, people are floating in the rivers and lakes, and grudges are always inevitable, there were two big opponents before, Minister He and Wang Zhaoming, but the reputation of these two people is not good after all, so Huang Haoran doesn't care so much.

Xue Yue, but it was an accident.

Xue Yue, a famous anti-Japanese general, Huang Haoran, is respectful, and his advice is not right at the moment.

As for what Xue Yue would think, it was not something that Huang Haoran could grasp......

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

Order No. 5 was still unfolded as scheduled, and the reply given by the highest authorities to Jiang Baili was that it could not hurt the morale of the soldiers in front, and the old man said very vaguely in front of Jiang Baili.

Jiang Baili blocked the supreme authorities several times in a row, but he could not change the mind of the supreme authorities.

The highest authorities still want to have a few more "big victories" in Songhu, so he can be regarded as one of the driving forces behind Order No. 5.

Unfortunately, things did not develop according to the assumptions of the highest authorities, and the Japanese seemed to go crazy in Songhu, and the Chinese troops attacking from three directions ran into the iron plate.

At 19 o'clock on October 21, the artillery of the whole line began to carry out sabotage fire according to the plan. At 20 o'clock, the attacking armies and commandos launched counterattacks one after another.

The first line of attack in the direction of the main counter-assault, the 48th Army, which attacked Chenhang, Epiphany Temple, and Taoyuanbang, was the main offensive area in the main attack direction of the 13th Division and the 9th Division of the Japanese army, and the troops and firepower were particularly concentrated, and the limited artillery of the Chinese army was simply unable to suppress the Japanese artillery positions and firing points, and the mountain artillery of the 48th Army was too close (only 1200 meters) to be unusable after arriving at the Songhu battlefield, and was mostly transported back to Guilin.

In addition, the attacking troops themselves did not deploy to suppress the enemy's firepower points, and relied on their flesh and blood to charge the Japanese troops outside the exposed positions; although the officers and men were very brave, they were never able to break through the enemy's positions, but suffered heavy casualties, with 4 casualties among the brigade commanders, 10 casualties among the regiment commanders, and more than half of the casualties among officers and soldiers below the battalion level, and the attack was frustrated.

The 2nd and 3rd Route Attacking Armies were also unable to reach the targets specified in the order due to the lack of necessary fire support.

As for the assault units of the frontal divisions, they were unable to effectively support the attacking armies because of their insufficient strength or lack of active action.

The fierce battle lasted until about 2 o'clock in the morning of the 22nd, when the Japanese army began to counterattack, and the attacking troops of the Chinese army retreated to the line of Xiaoshiqiao, Dachang Town, Zoumatang, and Tangjiaqiao.

On the 24th and 25th, the Japanese army, with the support of aviation fire and the guidance of tanks, continued to storm the positions of the 21st Army.

On the 26th, the town of Dachang was captured by the Japanese army, and Zhu Yaohua, the commander of the 18th Division of the 9th Group Army defending the place, committed suicide out of shame.

The loss of Dachang Town seriously threatened the flank of the Central Combat Army.

The Third Theater could only abandon the position between the North Station and Jiangwan and move to the south bank of Suzhou Creek.

However, within a few days, the offensive and defensive situations of China and Japan immediately reversed.

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

The highest authorities finally remembered Jiang Baili, so he decided to talk to Jiang Baili.

Jiang Baili was angry in his heart, and the expression on his face was naturally not good-looking, and only he, a fairy-like figure, dared to throw his face in front of the highest authorities, and the highest authorities were stunned without the slightest displeasure, and looked at Jiang Baili with a smile.

"Baili, I listened to your opinion, but I have to consider the morale of the front-line soldiers, and I am also embarrassed... Besides, since ancient times, there have been military orders outside the country, and the people below will inevitably act a little recklessly......"

Jiang Baili knew that the highest authority could say such low-key words, and it was meaningless to cling to anything now, so it was better to take the opportunity to find more practical "benefits" to come back.

"Chairman, it's useless to talk about this now, let's think about how to make up for it....."

"Exactly, exactly, the national crisis is at the head, first of all, we must unite sincerely, Baili, you can say what you have, I listen to ......"

Jiang Baili then explained Huang Haoran's ideas to the highest authorities, Jiang Baili was a military master, and Huang Haoran's plan was processed and polished here by Jiang Baili, and then it was displayed, and it matured more than a little.

The words used were also much more mellow, and the highest authorities nodded frequently and seemed to have accepted it all.

Jiang Baili saw that his suggestion finally entered the ears of the highest authorities, and he thought that he had finally lived up to Huang Haoran's trust.

While he was talking, Qian Dajun from the attendant room walked in with a staff officer of the Ministry of National Defense, and Jiang Baili returned to his seat to drink tea and moisten his throat, which was regarded as avoidance.

The posture of the staff officer of the major general is very sufficient, and at first glance, he has been in the war hall for a long time, and he pays special attention to the military appearance and etiquette.

The staff officer of the major general glanced at Jiang Baili, seemed to be a little hesitant, and the highest authorities were a little displeased, and said:

"Don't you know Advisor Jiang either? What are you hesitating about!? ”

The sudden raising of the voice of the supreme authorities startled the staff officers of the major generals, and the supreme authorities were even more displeased when they saw this.

"Report to the chairman! The unit has been selected, and Chief Gu has reported the number of the unit and the information of the officer! ”

"Say it!"

"The 1st Battalion of the 524th Regiment of the 88th Division, the highest officer is Xie Jinyuan, deputy commander of the 524th Regiment, with the rank of lieutenant colonel"

"Where is the place?"

"General Gu chose the Sixing Warehouse at No. 1 Guangfu Road, which is located on the north bank of Suzhou Creek in the south of Zhabei District, Shanghai, at the northwest corner of Xizang Road and Bridge, across the river from the concession, is a six-story building with a reinforced concrete structure, and the 88th Division has already stockpiled a large amount of materials in it, which is enough to hold on until the end of the Nine-Power Convention Conference."

"Very good, tell Mo San, be sure to let Xie Jinyuan perform well, this four-element defense battle will definitely re-boost the morale of the people and further attract the attention of the international community, so the longer Xie Jinyuan persists, the greater his contribution to the country, the nine-nation pact meeting is an opportunity for us, if we can make good use of it enough to reverse our predicament, political and military, neither of them can relax ......"

"Yes! The subordinates immediately telegraphed to Chief Gu and conveyed the chairman's intention to him. ”

The major general's staff officer retired, and Jiang Baili was a little puzzled, so he asked the highest authority:

"Chairman, aren't all the troops in the urban area going to withdraw across the Suzhou Creek? Why do you still have to keep troops stationed? ”

The face of the highest authorities was somewhat gloomy:

"Baili, our recent series of military defeats have greatly affected our country's international image, the nine-nation pact meeting will be held in Shanghai on November 6, if there is no half of the Chinese army in Shanghai at that time, it will not be justified in any way, so I asked General Gu to choose a unit from the 88th Division to stay. This was done in order to delay the speed of the Japanese army's offensive, and second, to show the international community China's resolute attitude in resisting Japan's war of aggression and to win the support of the international community. ”

"The chairman of the committee is right, but the order from Chief Gu's side is not good, Sun Yuanliang will not be reluctant, you must know that no matter what kind of elite soldiers will stay in the city, I am afraid the result will be ......."

"Such a military event, what does he, Sun Yuanliang, dare to say? If Huang Youchen's 99th Army was in Shanghai, I wouldn't want his troops to do such an important thing! ”

Looking at the puffing appearance of the highest authorities, Jiang Baili thought to himself:

"Fortunately, Huang Haoran's troops were not sent to guard this broken warehouse, otherwise my eldest brother would be annoyed, how could Huang Haoran be willing to send his subordinates to take on such a combat mission, in his eyes, such stubbornness of the highest authorities should be a very useless thing......"

Thinking of this, a smile appeared on the corner of Jiang Baili's mouth......

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

Huang Haoran learned from Jiang Baili that the 88th Division was going to send troops to hold the Sixing warehouse.

The story of the 800 heroes seems to be inevitable.

Xie Jinyuan, this name is too famous in the history of the Anti-Japanese War, but his behavior of holding the Sixing Warehouse with 800 heroes is so tragic.

Huang Haoran knew that General Gu was reluctant to let the 88th Division stay in the Sixing Warehouse out of personal feelings, because General Gu was the commander of the Second Division (the number before the reorganization of the 88th Division).

The 88th Division is where General Gu made his career.

The 88th Division is also one of the few "German Mechanic Divisions" in China now.

It is really inappropriate to use such a field unit to undertake such a task.

In today's situation, if you don't use a hard unit like the 88th Division, should you use a garbage army?

How could the order of the supreme authorities to hold on until the end of the meeting of the Nine-Power Pact be fulfilled?

So Chief Gu can only give an order!

General Gu decided to call Sun Yuanliang, commander of the 88th Division, to convey the order of the highest authorities, and Sun Yuanliang immediately expressed strong opposition to this plan on the phone. After that, Sun Yuanliang sent his chief of staff, Zhang Baiting, to the headquarters of General Gu, which was 20 kilometers away from the front line, to protest repeatedly.

However, neither Chief Gu, nor Sun Yuanliang, nor Zhang Baiting would disobey Chiang Kai-shek's orders, they were "descendants" and the family of the highest authorities.

Later, Zhang Baiting suggested to General Gu that since it was for political purposes, there would not be too many troops left behind in Zhabei, anyway, more troops would be sacrificed, and fewer troops would be sacrificed; At the same time, guarding multiple data points is guarding, and guarding one or two strongholds is also guarding.

Zhang Baiting's implication is that the meaning of the 88th division is enough, and it is really not cost-effective to put all the divisions into it.

In the end, General Gu agreed that the 88th Division would set aside a regiment of troops, and the remaining locations would be disposed of by themselves.

After Zhang Baiting returned to the Sixing Warehouse at the headquarters of the 88th Division, Sun Yuanliang decided to use the Sixing Warehouse as a stronghold, but felt that the strength of the regiment was still too much, so he decided to change it to a reinforced battalion.

Therefore, the 88th Division took the 1st Battalion of the 524th Regiment as the backbone, and then attached the necessary special forces, to form a reinforced battalion of more than 400 people.

Led by Xie Jinyuan attached to the lieutenant colonel regiment, Guan Zhibiao attached to the major regiment, and Yang Ruifu, the commander of the major battalion, in order to strengthen the momentum of the defenders, he claimed to be 800 heroes.

Huang Haoran knew that the end of these 800 heroes was to retreat into the public concession, and then die one by one under the persecution of various forces.

Such a battle is both glorious and sad.

So Huang Haoran's mood became a little depressed, it has been almost 5 years since he came to the Republic of China, and he has done his best, but he didn't expect the Chinese army to go to the step of Sixing Warehouse.

Not even the time of its occurrence has changed.

The power of a person seems so small in the face of history, even if Huang Haoran is now a lieutenant general.

Again, he felt powerless......
