Chapter 258: Prisoner Exchange Agreement (4)

PS: Happy New Year, let's talk about the update plan, one day a day from the first to the fifth day of the new year, four thousand words, the sixth day of the new year to recover (tentative), I don't know the situation after the year, everyone forgive me!

After being shocked, the eyes of the five people converged.

For three minutes, no one spoke.

"!" Liao Sen is a top student of the French Saint-Cyr Military Academy, who has stayed in the West and eaten foreign bread, and France is a romantic country, he has also learned some gentlemanly and elegant demeanor, and it is a mistake to burst into foul language. The matter of identity basically does not happen to him.

However, this time, his excited face flushed, his dark skin was shiny and ruddy, and it was difficult to suppress the passionate pride in his heart.

Qiu Qingquan was also excited in his heart, he knew that if this matter was successful, then all of them would leave a heavy mark in military history!

Leaving a name in history is the supreme ideal of many Chinese.

"What worries me the most is the Japanese troops in the Wuhu and Xuancheng areas, if they move along the road, they can reach Nanjing in one day." Qiu Qingquan said.

"I have already thought about this, I instructed the first brigade and the second regiment of the corps to break out of the encirclement, rest and gather the remnants in the area of Qilin Bridge in Nanling, and reorganize into the new 38th Brigade of the National Revolutionary Army, this unit will cooperate with our breakthrough operation, and when necessary, they will attack Wuhu and crucify the Sixth Division here."

"A brigade, if it is full, it will only be three or four thousand people, the 6th Division of the Japanese Army is a standing field division, and the division commander Toshio Tani is a fierce general of the Japanese army, which is not easy to deal with."

"Although most of the new 38th Brigade are new recruits, the veterans are basically the backbone of my teaching corps. The total strength is 8,000 people. A regiment of Japanese weapons. A regiment of German ordnance, an engineer regiment, an infantry battalion, a heavy machine gun battalion, a cavalry battalion, a baggage battalion, and a motor brigade and sanitary corps, although inferior to the German armament divisions in their heyday, are not far behind. Leng Feng explained.

"Good boy. This is stronger than the second brigade of our headquarters! ”

"This is my hard-earned family foundation, and it is all used in the new 38th Brigade, so if the Sixth Division comes out of Wuhu, we will copy his lair!" Leng Feng said.

"Well, Brother Leng is really prepared, it seems that there is one more hope that our plan will succeed." Qiu Qingquan now admires Leng Feng as well.

Leng Feng grew up too fast, and he couldn't help but be a little jealous sometimes, but Leng Feng was fortunate that he was still his subordinate. No matter what the future holds, this relationship will not be lost.

Leng Feng also has a lot of respect for him. After discussing with him, the more he looked at it, the more he liked it, but he also knew that Leng Feng was about to soar into the sky.

He, the guide, will soon be left behind, saying that he is not jealous, it is false, but he also knows that if he does not have himself, Leng Feng can also rise, but it will be a little later.

In any case, he is still Leng Feng's Bole, the old chief, and after getting along, he is quite like-minded, this time, if he can stand out, he will definitely write the most colorful stroke in his Qiu Qingquan's military career.

However, he also wanted to fight this battle by himself, but he also knew his own situation, and if he was allowed to command, it would definitely not be as good as Leng Feng's command.

For this kind of budget-conscious battle, he Qiu Qingquan really can't handle it.

"In this way, we don't need to worry about the Japanese army in Wuhu."

"To withdraw 300,000 people to Jiangbei, we need at least three days, that is, we have to block the Japanese army in Nanjing for up to three days, which is a huge test for us." Leng Feng said.

"Three days, what about the Japanese army in Jiangbei?"

"Our intentions are reported to the High Command, what do you think will happen?" Leng Feng said.

"You want the High Command to change the battle plan?" Ju Youlin took a breath of cold air.

"No, we just need the cooperation of the Fifth Theater Commander's Department to contain and pressure the Japanese troops in Chuxian and the Liuyi Belt, and it is best to take the initiative to attack and drag them down." Leng Feng said.

"What about the Japanese army in Yangzhou, if they are dispatched, how will we deal with it?"

"The troops who cross the river, first disguise our prisoner of war camp in Pukou, build Brother Chu, when the time comes, you will cross the river first, serve as the commander of the former enemy in Pukou, block the Japanese army from the direction of Yangzhou, and ensure that the people withdraw to Jiangbei."

"What about the Japanese fleet in the Yangtze River, once we cross the river, we can't deal with them at all?" Ju Youlin asked suspiciously.

"It's a real problem, and I haven't thought of a good way to do it for a while." Leng Feng nodded, facing the Japanese warships, there was indeed no good solution.

"Fort, Jiangning Fortress!"

"We have used the fort in Qingliangshan to carry out artillery bombardment on the Japanese army's 'Zhongling' festival before, and after that, the Japanese army dismantled all the fortress guns on the Jiangning Fortress, and the Jiangning Fortress is now in name only."

"At this moment, it is impossible for the Japanese fleet to attack on a large scale, even if the Japanese army sends a fleet to come from the Japanese mainland, it will take at least two days, and we only need to face some Japanese naval warships docked in Shanghai, as well as the Japanese navy that is confronting our navy in Madang."

"Even so, it's not something we can handle."

"If our navy can help us hold off the Japanese naval fleet at Madang, then we only need to face the Japanese naval fleet coming downstream."

"Is there any information on the Japanese Navy ships docked in Shanghai again?"

"Yes, this one isn't that hard to collect."

"I have a plan, do you think it's feasible?" Leng Feng said.

"Please!"

"We can place mines in the narrow waterway of the Jiangyin fortress, not much, as long as it can prevent the Japanese fleet from passing." Leng Feng said, "In the same way, we can also place mines upstream to prevent the Japanese fleet upstream from approaching us." ”

"Mines, we don't have them at all?" Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, these two eyes are black.

"No, we can make our own!"

"Make it yourself, will you?"

"I will, but there must be materials, our ancestors built mines hundreds of years ago. Can't we, the unfilial descendants, make it? Leng Feng said heavily.

"Brother Leng. This is no joke. Do you really build mines? ”

"If it's too advanced, I really can't make it now, but it's simpler, it's okay, we don't want to be beautiful, as long as it can be used." Leng Feng began to calculate in his mind, building mines is a technical job, and it can be built. The efficiency of manpower is a little lower, and if the effect of stopping the Japanese fleet is to be achieved, the number of mines required must be quite large.

Three thousand mines!

A rough estimate shows that 3,000 mines can be built in seven days, which is too difficult.

In addition to the threat of the Japanese fleet, there were also Japanese planes from the sky, and for the National Salvation Division, which had almost no air defense, the way to avoid the Japanese bombing was to avoid daylight. Cross the river at night.

"Brother Leng, we want to block the Yangtze River route. There are still two, how many mines are there? Although Qiu Qingquan doesn't understand naval warfare, the basic truth is still clear.

The water surface of the Yangtze River is so wide that it is not possible to stop the Japanese ships by throwing a few mines at random.

He was very worried that if he could not stop the Japanese fleet, even if he took advantage of the opportunity at night to cross the river and go north, the casualties would be very large.

This is also the reason why he didn't decide to "go north" after thinking about it again, if the casualties are too great, it is better to retreat south, at least stand on the land, and be able to stabilize under his feet.

But when you get to the river, no matter how good the water is, you can't help but be scared, in winter, can you swim a few kilometers in one breath?

Qiu Qingquan is not afraid of death, he dares to fight with the Japanese with a gun, no one is afraid of death, what he is afraid of is that the sacrifice is worthless and worthless.

"A conservative estimate, three thousand."

"Three thousand!"

"Where did we get 3,000 mines, even the Admiralty can't come up with so many mines, right?"

"The art of war is cloudy, fiction is real, reality is virtual, 3,000 mines, it doesn't necessarily need to be all true." Leng Feng smiled.

"That's right, this is good, we don't want to stop the Japanese army, just delay the time so that they can't rush over." Ju Youlin took a big shot. legs, shouted loudly.

"But even so, we need at least a few hundred real ones, otherwise the Japanese will see through it." Qiu Qingquan nodded, this is a way, before they can't figure out which one is true and which one is fake, do the Japanese really dare to break through with their own ships?

"I'll figure this out." Leng Feng rubbed his temples slightly.

"Where's the breakout time?"

"I can't settle it for the time being, in short, I will strive to go to Jiangbei for the New Year." Leng Feng said.

"After the first step is completed, the following will block the retreat, and there will be material transportation, and it will be a difficult task to evacuate all the people in Nanjing within three days, as well as materials and food."

"Yes, with the existing forces in our hands, I'm afraid it's still not enough?"

"Well, so, once we take Nanjing City, the first task is to reorganize all the soldiers of the national army in the security zone." Leng Feng said.

"Yes, it's a must."

"Brother Jianchu, there is another task, to pick out those who have worked in artillery, driven cars and armored vehicles from among our people, and form an artillery battalion, automobile battalion and armored car battalion."

"Brother Leng, what are you trying to do?"

"To accept the equipment of the Japanese army, we must take precautions, otherwise when we have the equipment, there will be no one, and it does not mean that everything will be done in vain." Leng Feng said.

"I'll do this job." Shen Zhiming said, "I'm more familiar with the situation. ”

"It's okay, I'll leave it to you."

"This is our plan A, as for plan B, I think Brother Jian Chu has already considered it, so let's talk about it in detail by Brother Jian Chu?" Leng Feng can't do everything, and he has to leave it to others to play.

While Plan B may not be used, some are better planned than not at all, just in case.

"On the basis of the cold chief of staff, I am thinking about a plan to withdraw from the south, that is, plan B, to put it bluntly, this is a spare tire, I hope it will not be used, but if it really comes to the moment when it is used, we will not be in a hurry and unprepared." Liao Sen cleared his voice, elaborated on Plan B, and drew up two retreat routes.

It will be held until one o'clock in the evening, whether it is Leng Feng's plan A or Liao Sen's plan B, they are constantly improving and deepening in the discussion, and even envisaging the handling of some possible situations.

The result is a very detailed plan.

Of course, this plan is still the final plan, but it has been basically decided.

The plan was not reported, mainly to prevent leakage, Qiu Qingquan originally disagreed, but was still persuaded by Leng Feng, this plan is too big, once the news leaks, it will be the lives of tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people.

No one can afford to take this responsibility.

The detailed plan was handed over by Leng Feng to Wu Xiaoyun for personal safekeeping, that is to say, only Wu Xiaoyun and Leng Feng were qualified to access this plan, although Qiu Qingquan and the others were the formulators, they only knew the approximate and could not completely understand all the contents.
