Chapter 702: Get it right

September 11, on the north shore of Hangzhou Bay, Shanghai.

Countless soldiers dressed in khaki uniforms dug fortifications on the lines of the line. Under the heavy artillery of the Japanese army, all troops spontaneously learned to dig fortifications.

Here was the Eighth Army, which was subordinate to Zhang Fakui, who had just arrived on the northern shore of Hangzhou Bay; The construction of the fortifications began under the order of Zhang Zhizhong. For the upcoming fierce battle, Zhang Fakui has a certain psychological preparation.

In the past few days, the information from all quarters and the combat methods of the Japanese army have been collected into the hands of the commanders of the various group armies. In order to allow them to play a greater role in this war. Resist the Japanese attack.

Not far from the north shore of Hangzhou Bay, Zhang Fakui's temporary headquarters included Tao Guang of the 28th Army, Tao of the 62nd Division, Tao of the 702nd Division, Chen Guangzhong of the 63rd Division, Li Songshan of the 55th Division, and Zhang Luanji of the 45th Independent Brigade.

There is a huge map hanging in the headquarters, and the blue one on it is the current defense situation. The red one is the Japanese offensive line. It is clear that the troops are losing their positions.

However, the area occupied by the Japanese army is constantly expanding, and in front of these generals is a summary of the Japanese army's tactical analysis. This analysis did not come from Nanjing, but from the Wehrmacht.

This was submitted to Zhang Fakui through his own channels. On the side is the analysis done by the Nanjing government.

"Let's see, this is the "Analysis of the Combat Power and Tactical Layout of the Japanese Army" given to us by the tiger." Saying that, Zhang Fakui picked up the copy issued by Nanjing, and said in a deep voice: "This is Nanjing's ......"

"I just want to say three words after reading it! Shame on your mother!! Zhang Fakui put Nanjing's analysis "Bang!" He slammed it on the table and roared: "According to the report given by these street boys in Nanjing, I am going to die!" What did this bunch of rubbish do in the High Command?! Do you eat dry rice?! ”

The rest of the generals of the Eighth Army did not look good in Chapter 702, and the report from Nanking only gave a general and brief account of the possible use of heavy artillery by the Japanese army, and made suggestions to strengthen the fortifications. The rest of the tactics and force ratio of the small Japanese troops are not mentioned at all.

The Wehrmacht, on the other hand, mentions the Japanese squads being equipped with light machine guns for fire support and making good use of grenadiers, bayonet white-knuckle warfare, and heavy artillery.

At the same time, give a roughly corresponding solution. The first is that the position layout needs to have camouflaged positions, which act on attracting Japanese heavy artillery fire. Only a part of the observation posts remained on the position.

Secondly, when the Japanese army was attacking, it was recommended not to shoot at the Japanese army and pay attention to concealment. The Japanese army is very strong due to the quality of individual soldiers. It is very accurate to shoot.

This is not comparable to the current troops, and at the same time, the Japanese squads and squadrons are equipped with a large number of light and heavy machine guns. It's a great loss to shoot at them.

The best way to do this is to put the Japanese in front of the position and engage the Japanese in a hand-to-hand battle as they begin their final charge! At the same time, light and heavy firepower were arranged on the side positions to attack the Japanese grenadiers, light machine guns, etc., to cut off the fire support of the Japanese army!

Units fighting with the Japanese in a white-knuckle battle. Try to choose fighters who are good at martial arts and have good physical fitness. Equipped with melee firearms such as shell guns and submachine guns, as well as cold weapons, it strives to be able to suppress the Japanese army.

When entering the white-knuckle battle, the Japanese army's firepower advantage was lost, and the Japanese grenadiers, light and heavy machine guns and other firepower exposed to the rear became targets! In this way, casualties can be avoided to a large extent. Also increases the strength of kills.

If you don't know the goods, you're afraid of shopping around! Nanjing's analysis, which only mentions heavy artillery, is completely unsightly compared with the Wehrmacht's!

"Go down and arrange the ...... according to the words of the National Defense Army," Zhang Fakui said in a deep voice to the generals below: "Our Guangdong army has lost face in the hands of Yu Hanmou!" Don't earn some face. Speechless to our martyrs in Guangdong......"

Hearing what their own commander said, everyone could only sigh helplessly. For a long time, the position of the Guangdong army has been very embarrassing. It is said that the Cantonese lineage is the birthplace of the revolution, and it should be the lineage of the descendants of Nanjing.

But the Cantonese system, which split several times and chose to be wrong and wrong several times, finally became what it is now. In the Nanjing State Government, there are many members of the Cantonese nationality, and there are also many old Cantonese units in the army.

This time, Yu Hanmou's actions directly smashed the prestige of the Northern Expeditionary Iron Army into slag. This makes Zhang Fakui, who led the Fourth Army in the Northern Expedition to play the prestige of the Iron Army at Tingsi Bridge and Hesheng Bridge, how can he be embarrassed? !

"Don't let the name of the 'Iron Army' fall into our hands!!"

Meanwhile. Liuhe, Luodian, Yunzaobin ...... and other regional ministries are also frantically digging fortifications. At the same time, small courtyards, alleys, and high-rise buildings are all made into shelters with various shelters.

This is Zhu Shaoliang's unit of the Ninth Group Army, and it is also Zhang Zhizhong's direct subordinate unit. Like Zhang Fakui, Zhang Zhizhong received information from the Wehrmacht.

He was very direct. Seize the tactical advice given by the Nanjing side and throw it into the trash. Then let the commanders of the troops below set up the fortifications according to the recommendations in this proposal.

On the front-line positions of Jiangwan and Pidgin, Luo Zhuoying of the 15th Group Army was patrolling with people, and his face was gloomy and terrifying! During this time, his troops suffered the greatest losses, and until now there has been nothing to replenish.

All Luo Zhuoying can do is grit her teeth and work hard. The day before yesterday, a telegram had arrived from Nanjing, and the troops from various departments who had rushed to support were already on their way. What they have to do now is to strengthen their defenses and wait for reinforcements.

"Of the 18 provinces in our headquarters, even if 15 provinces are lost, as long as the three provinces of Sichuan, Guizhou and Yunnan can be consolidated and unharmed, we will definitely be able to defeat any strong enemy. Restore all the lost ground......"

This is what Jiang Zhongzheng said to these generals before the war.

"We're too weak now, we're too weak!" At a meeting where there were only a few group army commanders, Jiang Zhongzheng was not hypocritical! Directly said what was in his heart.

"The advantage of fighting in Shanghai is that the dense buildings in our urban area will cancel out their artillery advantage. And draw international attention away from the Wehrmacht to us! After all, Shanghai still has a concession, and the war there is only a stone's throw away from the concessions of Britain and the United States! If we go to war there. will attract the attention of the West. ”

"For the sake of their own interests, I believe they will also be inclined to let Japan retreat......"

As it seems now, Jiang Zhongzheng's approach seems to have some effect. Roosevelt's "isolation speech" sent out the voice that the United States did not want to see Japan disrupt the order.

However, what did not work out was that Japan did not care at all, or at least responded forcefully to this voice! To this day, the war in Shanghai continues.

The Japanese chose to continue, and the Nanjing side had to continue fighting! At first, Chiang Zhongzheng's most optimistic prediction was that he would be able to eat the Japanese marines of only a few thousand with his strong superior forces.

The result backfired, and he didn't eat it, not to mention the loss of his soldiers. This made Jiang Zhongzheng worried, but also wary of the national defense forces in the three eastern provinces! Their own elite troops, tens of thousands of people, did not take down thousands of marines without heavy weapons.

So how strong is the Wehrmacht, which fought with the Japanese army in the dark and finally forced the Japanese army to retreat?! There is no doubt that Chiang Zhongzheng believes that the Wehrmacht has seriously threatened him!

Therefore, there was the telegram that Nanjing gave to the three eastern provinces in strict terms and followed up with sorrow. As long as the Wehrmacht does not leave the three eastern provinces, Jiang Zhongzheng does not feel that anyone will become a threat to him.

The British and American sides reacted, and Jiang Zhongzheng also felt that his strategy was correct! But he couldn't take the Japanese army, and even the gradual increase in the number of reinforcements of the Japanese army made him have a different mind. This kind of thinking is: cut the domain!

Defeat the feudal domain with the enemy! All kinds of grinding and grinding transportation, this moment will give full play to their greatest strength! Day and night, the troops from all over the country who rushed to the sea were transported.

Since the Japanese army is so strong in combat, why don't you let those "miscellaneous cards" go with guns?! I can't find such a good opportunity in normal times, but now I just need a "national righteousness" for them to fight to the death with the Japanese, isn't it?!

The positive response of the Sichuan army and the Gui system made Jiang Zhongzheng see the feasibility of this strategy. Of course, this strategy can only be implemented in local armies such as the Sichuan army and the Gui system.

Jiang Zhongzheng never dared to carry it out with the Wehrmacht, and the current process of the Wehrmacht is almost constantly waging wars but constantly developing! If they are asked to enter the customs, they may not be able to keep their position as the chairman of the committee!

Moreover, their combat effectiveness is so strong, once they enter the customs, even if they drive away the Japanese, what about themselves?! What will the mighty tiger do when the time comes?!

All this thinking made Jiang Zhongzheng shudder! Therefore, he asked Dai Li to draw out his elite manpower to monitor all the movements in the three eastern provinces! The three eastern provinces are what he is most worried about.

At this time, Jiang Zhongzheng was silent holding the telegram sent from Shanghai. This was a telegram sent to him by Zhang Zhizhong in Shanghai, but he saw that this telegram said:

"In order to sort out the front in the vicinity of Songhu and Jialiu, save troops, and achieve the goal of tenacious and strong resistance against Japan, the Ninth and Fifteenth Group Armies were immediately transferred. The line of the Ninth Army's North Station, Jiangwan, and the right bank of Yunzaobin was shifted to occupy pre-built positions, but it was necessary to save troops...... Since the outbreak of the war, more than 63,000 people have been killed or wounded in Songhu. The Air Force has lost about 40 planes, and if there is no support, it may be able to support ......"

"Jiaxing was occupied by the enemy, and our army retreated to a line several miles from the city. Nanxun was also occupied by the enemy. It is necessary to defend the line from Jiangyin to Chang'an, otherwise our troops will fall into the "rq" of the mortal enemy being destroyed by the sun!!......
