Chapter 35: The Bloody Battle of the Four Elements Warehouse (1)
Ye Hang woke up refreshed and slept for an afternoon and one night, no wonder he was so hungry? It turned out that it was the next morning, and the three girls had already made breakfast, and were about to wake up Ye Hang, when they saw Ye Hang coming downstairs, they greeted Ye Hang to the table. Lan had already replaced the sexy cheongsam and stockings, because she was about the same size as Liu Ruyan, so she put on Liu Ruyan's training clothes, after all, the clothes were too annoying, and there was a danger of going out at any time, so Lan had to change out. Ye Hang secretly said that it was a pity, he couldn't enjoy the beautiful scenery anymore.
The four of them quickly finished breakfast, Ye Hang wanted to go to the Sixing warehouse, Ye Hang knew that Xie Jinyuan's troops would be stationed there today, so Ye Hang had to hurry up.
According to the original plan, Tian Tian and Liu Ruyan continued to clear the Japanese forces in the concession, and it was impossible for the Japanese army to have an intelligence agency in Shanghai, so Tian Tian and Liu Ruyan's mission continued, and Ye Hang himself took Lan to the Sixing warehouse to block the little devils and delay the Japanese army's capture of Shanghai. Now Ye Hang's points have more than 120 points, and he can exchange some special Gatling machine guns equipped with six-barreled fire artifacts for only 20 points, but the bullets are more expensive, 1GP per bullet. For Gatling gun bullets with an adjustable rate of fire of 300 rounds per minute to 6,000 rounds per minute, Ye Hang still uses them quite burdensomely, so he will not use them unless he has to. War is a game that costs money, Ye Hang is deeply touched, a C4 costs 10 points, but this Ye Hang is completely acceptable, after all, killing an enemy will get a point, if C4 explodes in the crowd, Ye Hang will only make money and not lose money. So I bought two C4s in the mall, one for myself and one for Lan, and sorted out the equipment and came to the house where I observed the Sixing warehouse before I came.
Nanjing, the leader's official residence.
Bai Chongxi, who had just been appointed deputy chief of the general staff of the Military Commission, entered the study with a grim expression under the guidance of Wang Shihe, the chief of the state guard, and the chairman of the committee, who was closing his eyes and recuperating his mind, opened his eyes when he heard the sound, and when he saw that it was Bai Chongxi, a rare smile suddenly appeared on his face, and he immediately got up and greeted him affectionately: "Jiansheng, are you here?" β
Bai Chongxi is the number two person of the Gui warlords, and he is also a very famous military strategist in the army of the Nationalist Government. The chairman of the committee can be said to have both love and hate for this general, both loving his talent and hating him for not being able to use it for himself, and only the chairman himself knows the complexity of the taste.
"Take a seat!" Bai Chongxi saluted Chairman Jiang Lizheng and immediately said with a solemn expression, "According to the technical section of the Shanghai Branch of the Secrecy Bureau, there has been a sudden increase in the number of telegrams between the headquarters of the Shanghai Dispatch Army and the local base camp recently. β
"I know the drop, I know the drop. Just now, Yunong has reported to me that the Japanese Cabinet has conveyed a top-secret document to all the divisions attacking Shanghai, and it is not very clear what it is, and it seems that the **** has obtained some secret information, and Yunong has already asked people to check, and these **** don't know what they are doing. Chairman Jiang knocked on the table and said angrily
Bai Jiansheng saw this situation, so he had to lower his head and not speak.
After a while, the chairman sighed: "Forget it, don't care about these mud legs, I don't know if Jiansheng has a good way to deal with the current form of the Songhu battlefield?" β
Bai Chongxi sighed and said gloomily: "Commission, these few days of heavy rain in the Songhu area, our army's forward positions are soaked in water, the front-line soldiers can be described as miserable, stealing that our army should completely abandon the urban area on the north bank of the Suzhou Creek, shrink the forces on the west side of the Jinpu Railway and the south bank of the Suzhou Creek to confront the army across the river, the battle situation may still be able to support. β
"Give up the city on the north bank of Suzhou Creek?" The chairman frowned and said, "Is it really impossible to hold on?" β
"Yes! The commission could not hold the Japanese army's fierce offensive, and Zhu Yaohua's division of our 18th Division was forced to abandon Dachang, Miaoxing, and Jiangwan. The defenders of Zhabei also voluntarily abandoned their positions. The main force of our army retreated to the Nanxiang line. One retreated to the south of Suzhou Creek, and the other stayed at the key points north of Suzhou Creek. Bai Jiansheng came to the edge of the map and introduced Chairman Jiang
"Can you leave a force behind?" Looking at the map, the chairman frowned and said.
"Leave a troop behind?" Bai Chongxi frowned and said, "It's incomprehensible. β
Bai Chongxi really couldn't understand that this prince was a master in tactics, but he lacked strategic vision, in his opinion, hundreds of thousands of troops could not withstand the offensive of the army, what was the use of leaving an army?
The chairman of the committee looked at the bleak winter scenery outside the window, and said in a quiet voice: "Jiansheng, the UN General Assembly is about to convene, and it is reported that the UN General Assembly will include the Sino-Chinese war on the agenda, and if our army can leave a unit in the urban area on the north bank of the Suzhou Creek, it can also show our determination to resist the war to the end and never compromise, so that the UN General Assembly may be more conducive to the party and the state when making a decision." β
Bai Chongxi was quite unimpressed, but he could only say perfunctorily: "That's it." β
The chairman said: "Then this matter will be arranged by Jiansheng, and an elite unit must be selected from each group army!" Preferably a division"
"Understood, let's arrange it." Bai Chongxi saluted the chairman again, and then turned around and left.
It was becoming increasingly difficult to resist the Japanese army in Zhabei, and the Japanese army reinforcements continued to march to Shanghai. In the end, Chairman Chiang ordered the entire army to withdraw to defend the western suburbs of Shanghai, and at the same time ordered Gu Zhutong, the acting commander of the Third Theater of Operations, to leave the elite 88th Division alone. First, this was done to delay the Japanese attack, 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 in this way. The signatories of the nine-nation pact are due to meet on 6 November. Gu Zhutong himself was reluctant to let the 88th Division stay behind out of personal feelings, because he was the commander of the 2nd Division (the number of the 88th Division before its reorganization). Gu Zhutong called Sun Yuanliang, commander of the 88th Division, to convey the order, but Sun Yuanliang strongly opposed this plan. After that, Sun Yuanliang sent his chief of staff, Zhang Baiting, to Gu Zhutong's headquarters, which was 20 kilometers away from the front line, to negotiate repeatedly.
Neither Gu Zhutong, Sun Yuanliang, nor Zhang Baiting would disobey Chiang Kai-shek's orders, and after consultation, it was finally decided that since it was for political purposes, the troops left behind in Zhabei would be sacrificed in most of their troops, and the few troops would also be sacrificed. At the same time, guarding most of the jΓΉ points is guarding, and guarding one or two strongholds is also guarding. Therefore, in the end, it was agreed that the 88th Division should set aside a regiment of troops, and the remaining positions would be disposed of by themselves. After Zhang Baiting returned to the headquarters of the 88th Division, Sun Yuanliang decided to use the Sixing Warehouse as a stronghold, but felt that a regiment was still too many, and before the final withdrawal, it was decided that only one reinforced battalion would be enough.
So the 1st Battalion of the 524th Regiment formed a reinforced battalion of more than 400 people. It was led by Xie Jinyuan, deputy of the lieutenant colonel regiment, deputy Shangguan Zhibiao of the major regiment, and Yang Ruifu, commander of the major battalion. And on the 26th, it was stationed in the Sihang warehouse.
Ye Hangtong guΓ² telescope watched the **** continue to evacuate from Zhabei District, and felt very uncomfortable, once the national government gave up the area north of Suzhou Creek, it means that Shanghai, the Oriental Pearl, has been de facto lost, and then strictly said, the battle of Songhu has been fought so far that the national government has been de facto defeated, and then the remaining question is how to end this war as decently as possible.
Moreover, the Sixing warehouse is a six-story Daxia with a reinforced concrete structure, and the small caliber curved guns and bombardier canisters of the little devils are not enough to pose a threat at all, and although the naval guns and heavy artillery are enough to destroy the Sixing warehouse, the little devils have not yet declared war on the United States and Britain, and they will never dare to use the rat trap, otherwise it is inevitable to bomb the public concession on the south bank of the Suzhou Creek by mistake. Therefore, Ye Hang is also assured to boldly block here.
