Chapter 758
Chapter 758
"Commander, Master Tianhai is here."
When the guard came in to report, Gangcun immediately stood up and went to greet him in person.
Tianhai is a mage from Japan and has a high prestige in Japan. Okamura respects him very much and takes him to the reception room in person.
"Master Tianhai, why did you come here suddenly?"
Gangcun made the tea himself, and Tianhai took the teacup with a serious expression on his face: "I read about the empire's actions against the United States in the newspaper, and I immediately took a divination, but I didn't expect it to be a bad omen."
Tianhai's divination is very famous and very effective, at least he himself believes it.
"Big murderer?"
Gangcun frowned, he was not optimistic about such an action, and Tianhai's heart was even heavier when he said this.
Tianhai thinks the same as him, is it true that the empire will inevitably fail this time?
"General, what do you think of the prospects for this war?"
"This is the decision of the above and the Navy."
Gangcun sighed, Tianhai is not such an easy person to be fooled, and continued to ask: "General, you have always been a person with your own opinions, don't you think so?"
Tianhai asked again and again, Gangcun had no choice but to nod: "Since it has been done, it is too late to say anything now. The only way at present is to stop immediately after taking down Singapore, and never expand the scale of the war."
"General, your idea is very good, but unfortunately, you are not the one who makes decisions."
Tianhai sighed heavily. Although he is a mage, he is a Japanese after all. Of course he hopes that the empire will become stronger and stronger.
Once it fails, it will be a disaster for the empire.
There are some things that Gangcun didn't say. With the resources of the empire so tight, it is very stupid to open up a second battlefield, targeting Britain and the United States.
They are not Germany, even if it is Germany, look at what countries they occupy, and now they have stopped in Russia.
If Germany fails to defeat Russia, or is counterattacked by Russia, it will also be a disaster for them.
If Germany is defeated, Japan will inevitably be left alone.
As for Italy, Gangcun didn't think about it at all. This pig teammate, if Germany loses, they will also not be able to escape.
If there is a war with the United States, then it is not suitable to continue fighting in China. The best way is to reconcile with China immediately, even if you give up some territory, just keep your core interests.
Next, they will use all their strength to deal with the United States. If they can reach the United States, or make peace with the United States, it will not be too late to continue to occupy China.
It's a pity that he is not the one who decides, and the Radicals and Saijo will not listen to his advice.
Now those people are all crazy.
He regretted a little that he shouldn't have let Saijo take the position. He should have expected that with Saijo's temperament, he would definitely stride forward after taking the position.
Big strides are fast, but at the same time it is easy to strain yourself.
Gangcun didn't say these words to anyone, and it was meaningless to say them, which could easily displease Saijo.
Before, he disliked Tian Junliu's small steps, but now he hopes that he will stay here, save more money for the empire, and let the navy fight the battle first.
Without its navy, the United States naturally cannot pose a threat to Japan.
Saijo's temper is indeed very anxious. As soon as he attacked the US base, he started attacking Malaysia and Hong Kong.
The Japanese army officially launched an attack on Malaysia from the Kra Isthmus, and at the same time directly attacked Hong Kong from China.
Japan showed its fangs to the world.
On the [-]th, Principal Chang finally ordered that the Guo Party government officially declare war on Japan. After several years of fighting, there was no formal declaration of war. It can be seen that Principal Chang has always had a fluke in his heart.
This time, with the support of the Americans and the demands of the Americans, Principal Chang finally made a formal response.
On the same day, a large number of Japanese troops marched into the public concession.
In Shiyuan Commercial House, Chu Lingyun was looking out the window, and Fang Shiyi was standing beside him.
The road outside has been put under martial law, and the gendarmes arranged by Takemoto himself are not allowed to come here, let alone any harassment.
Not only the headquarters of Shiyuan Trading Company, but also all the properties of Shiyuan shopping malls, he sent military police to protect them, lest someone take advantage of the fire to rob and make Shiyuan Heng angry.
Takemoto is already the commander of the Gendarmerie Command, and his rank is very conspicuous.
And those who were the same squadron leader as he was, are still squadron leaders now, and they are very different from him.
They saw that they wanted to salute respectfully, and they didn't dare to have any ambiguity about their orders.
Takemoto is in power and proud, and he knows who gave him all this.
It was Yamashita's troops that entered the concession today, and Takemoto would not let these contribution points be taken away by Yamashita. He sent military police to protect Ishihara Trading Company.
"Boss, they really did attack the concession."
Way sighed slightly. He had discussed this issue with his boss before. Once Japan goes to war, the concession will cease to exist. Japan will not tolerate the power of other countries to continue to occupy the bustling Shanghai.
"The inevitable thing has long been expected."
Chu Lingyun knew far more than Fang Shiyi. Abe had already taken over Maeda's position under his urging, and became the head of the Shanghai Liaison Department of Xingya Academy.
Abe came to him yesterday and talked with him about the concession.
The French Concession is better. After all, the puppet government of France is an ally, so we should give Germany some face and won't kill them.
But the dominance must be in the hands of the Japanese.
As for the public concession, the domestic meaning is that it will not be banned for the time being, but it must be controlled by the empire.
Keep the name of the concession, but not the reality of the concession.
At that time, their Liaison Department will set up a coordination committee, and he has already selected the director of the committee, Maruyama Kotomo, the Minister of Commerce of the Liaison Department.
Maruyama is Abe's confidant, and gave Abe a lot of money to get this position.
His confidants can also get money, and if he wants to be an official, he must give money. This is Abe's temperament.
The President of the Public Concession Industry Bureau, Felim, trembled with anger.
The Japanese rushed into his room swaggeringly.
In fact, after learning about Japan's sneak attack on the United States, Felim understood that the good days of the concession had come to an end, and the Japanese had long coveted the concession, and they would never let them go this time.
It's just that I didn't expect it to be so fast, so I called in without even talking.
"What are you going to do?"
Felim took a deep breath and asked Maruyama Kotomo who came in.
"Don't do anything, President Felim, I'm now formally informing you that the Empire of Japan has specially set up a coordination committee for your concession. You guys, you have to report all the affairs of the Ministry of Industry to the committee. The director of the committee, that is, me It can only be implemented after approval.”
He is Xueying Zuo, and he has become the Supreme Emperor.
Felim was taken aback for a moment. Instead of banning the Bureau of Industry and Commerce, a new agency was established above them?
Even if the Japanese banned them and drove them all away, Felim would have nothing to do.
The British Empire is no longer the empire on which the sun never sets. It is impossible for Britain to fight in Shanghai, let alone have that chance. If it does, Germany will definitely laugh out loud.
"May I be a puppet?"
Felim sneered, although they didn't cancel them, but they had to follow the arrangements of the Japanese in everything, and they would no longer have any autonomy.
"You have no choice, obey or die."
The empire has declared war on Britain, and even Hong Kong has gone to fight. Maruyama doesn't care about the people in front of him at all.
Felim held back his anger, and finally nodded.
There is no way, people have to bow their heads under the eaves, they are now the meat on the cutting board, let the Japanese handle it.
Maruyama left arrogantly, these Westerners who are usually arrogant and arrogant still have today?
They will eventually surrender to the empire, and Japan is the most powerful country in the world.
The concession was in a depression, and Japan took over all the defense, and the patrol room was not moved for the time being, but everything that the patrol room did had to be reported to the Japanese.
The Japanese tell them to act, and they must obey.
Many chief inspectors acted according to the wind and immediately abandoned Fernando to show courteousness to his new master.
Most of the patrols are Chinese or Indians, and the Japanese treat them like the police in the urban area, and all trivial matters are entrusted to them.
In extra-high class, Fernan was very panicked.
What Japan was doing was a sneak attack, and they didn't give them time to prepare, and they rushed into the concession so quickly, he didn't even have a chance to run.
Besides, they couldn't run away. The Japanese monitored all the places before they made a move.
Fernan was 'invited' into a super-high class.
There is no difference between saying yes and getting caught.
He was brought to the torture room. Seeing the horrific instruments of torture in the torture room, Fernan's legs went limp, and he barely sat there while being held up.
It was Jiang Tengkong who arrested him.
He didn't tell Nanyun, but directly attacked. Fernan was related to Chu Lingyun. He had to be the first to catch him back. He was more controllable in his hands.
"Mr. Fernan, do you know why we are looking for you?"
Jiang Tengkong personally interrogated, and asked lightly, Nanyun still doesn't know that he has captured Fernan.
"I understand, but I don't know where Chu Lingyun is."
Fernan immediately replied, no need to ask, he took the initiative to tell about his relationship with Chu Lingyun.
Chu Lingyun was in business with Smith before. In fact, Chu Lingyun was in charge of the company, and Smith's shares were very small. The Japanese knew this for a long time.
Later, Chu Lingyun contacted him several times, but he never showed up again. Fernan revealed an important person, Ran Wu.
Ran Wu is from Chu Lingyun.
He doesn't know anything else.
Jiang Tengkong asked him to explain everything he had done for Chu Lingyun in detail, and finally signed and pledged.
"Go and catch Ran Wu right away. Remember, you have to catch someone alive. He probably knows where Chu Lingyun is."
When Jiang Tengkong's interrogation came out, the people Fernan told him had to be arrested, and his confidantes took them out immediately. Jiang Tengkong said he wanted to live, because he was afraid that he would be beaten to death, so he couldn't explain to Chu Lingyun.
Not long after, his subordinates called.
"Ran?"
Jiang Tengkong was not surprised. With such a big incident, with Chu Lingyun's intelligence, he would not leave such a big loophole.
It's good to run away, and he will have no follow-up if he runs away. It's not that he doesn't do it, but he can't do it.
"Jiang Teng, did you catch Fernan?"
Nagumo suddenly broke into his office and asked directly.
Jiang Tengkong got up and nodded lightly: "That's right, Fernan and Chu Lingyun have an unusual relationship. I'll catch him in advance to prevent him from running away."
It was too late for Nan Yun to know. He had finished interrogating everyone and completed the follow-up work.
"Why didn't you tell me in advance?"
Nanyun was a little annoyed, Jiang Tengkong would at least tell her ward when he did things before, but this time he didn't mention it, and directly arrested such an important person.
"The head of the section, the head of the section has ordered that if there is an important situation, I can do it without asking for instructions."
Jiang Tengkong replied without humility, that Nanyun has been completely ignored by him, and what he said in the special high school Nanyun still works, why should he tell her?
Besides, this is indeed the authorization given to him by Tu Yuan.
Tuyuan was completely disappointed with Nagumo. If it wasn't for Nayun being his disciple and there was no particularly serious mistake, he would have removed Nayun a long time ago.
And Jiang Tengkong, who made contributions to Yagyu Taro, has already gained his trust.
Jiang Tengkong carried Tuyuan out, and Nan Yun lost his temper instantly.
"I'll go to the trial again."
Nanyun left, Jiang Tengkong ignored her, this woman was a little confused about the current situation.
Since he didn't say anything, and he didn't report the incident afterwards, he naturally wouldn't let Nan Yun easily interrogate him.
"Turn away, where did you go?"
In the prison of the special high school, Nan Yun's eyes widened. Fernan was no longer in the special high school, and Jiang Tengkong sent someone to take him to another place.
"Master, we don't know."
The people in the prison answered honestly that their rank was too low, and Jiang Tengkong really didn't say where he was transferred.
Nanyun understood that Jiang Tengkong didn't want her to intervene in this case.
But this case has a chance to catch Chu Lingyun. If she catches someone, the special high school will completely become her world in the future. If Jiang Tengkong catches her, she will be dismissed and transferred immediately.
This great achievement is enough for Jiang Tengkong to take over the position.
Nanyun was not reconciled, but she still pressed down on the urge to ask Jiang Tengkong for someone.
He obviously turned the person away, but Jiang Tengkong didn't tell her. He was obviously watching her joke, and she wouldn't tell Jiang Tengkong if she asked him, she was just humiliating herself.
Back in the office, Nagumo lowered his head, eyes full of anger.
Jiang Tengkong finally showed his true face, and the next step was to drive her away.
In the face of desperation, she has nothing to do.
Complaining to the master will only speed up her dismissal. Jiang Tengkong started ahead of time because she was doing something, but she made comments to the subordinates who were doing it. The master hates this kind of thing the most.
An incompetent person does not deserve to stay in this position.
This was what Master had said to Mitsui at the beginning, and she didn't want to use it on herself.
Ran Wu ran away, but did not leave Shanghai.
He hid at Feng Yong's side.
Chu Lingyun knew that Fernan would definitely be taken away. Fernan was unreliable, so he would confess to Ran Wu, and Ran Wu had to hide.
Usually Ran Wu has no contact with other people, no one knows that he and Feng Yong are actually good brothers.
Temporarily hiding in Feng Yongna is safe.
Ran Wu hid it, and it could be used as a knife for Chu Lingyun secretly, allowing him to do things that are inconvenient for others to do.
The eight dead men directly under Chu Lingyun remained by his side.
However, Chu Lingyun has already started to arrange for the four of them to work in Shiyuan Commercial Bank, and then slowly transfer them to his side for use.
They didn't know that Shi Yuanheng was themselves, but Chu Lingyun understood that at critical moments, as long as Chu Lingyun revealed his identity, they would protect each other with their lives.
On the 76th, both Li Zhiqun and Chen Zhanli moved.
After the Japanese occupied the public concession, they immediately came to the concession, and Kubo deliberately brought Chen Zhanli to the patrol room.
"Lu Daming."
Kubo stared coldly at the man in front of him whose legs were trembling and was constantly wiping sweat.
"Yes, the villain is here."
"When you arrested me, did you think about today?"
Kubao was very relieved. At first, he was set up by the military commander to bring people from the Loyal National Salvation Army. He wanted to catch all the general commanders, but he was arrested by the police.
If he hadn't been able to hide far away, he would probably have to go to the jail in the patrol room.
Later, he was forced to spend a lot of money to redeem him.
"My lord, the villain has no eyes, so I should hit you. Don't be as knowledgeable as the villain. I will return all your money to you. The money is at home, and I will get it for you."
Lu Daming fell to his knees with a thud, and slapped himself repeatedly. Now the British and Americans can't protect themselves. The concession has suddenly changed. The Japanese are in charge, and he doesn't dare to resist at all.
"Where are the patrols responsible for arresting people?"
Chen Zhanli immediately asked, Kubao came to vent his anger. These people are not military commanders, but they have helped military commanders.
It is impossible for Lu Daming to take money to save his life.
Doesn't he know that if he is arrested, all his money will be taken away, and now he has no backer, nothing like shit.
"Except for Ran Wu, everyone else is here."
Lu Daming said carefully, and Kubao frowned: "Who is Ran Wu?"
"My deputy was the one he led the team to arrest."
"Is he going by himself, or is it an order from you?" Kubo asked again.
"It was my order. Someone reported that you were going to fight the military commander, so I asked Ran Wu to lead people there."
Kubao didn't speak any more. Seeing Kubao leave, Chen Zhanli ordered Lu Daming to be arrested.
"Forgive me, Kubo-sama, please forgive me..."
Lu Daming was taken away screaming, and someone ransacked his home, and that would be the end for anyone who dared to arrest No. 76.
"Go and find out where Ran Wu went."
Chen Zhanli told Xiaolu that the order was given by Lu Daming, and Ran Wu was the executor, but he is the deputy chief inspector, so he must have a lot of wealth, and they can get a lot of money by arresting people and ransacking their homes with this reason.
Kubo-sama is also short of money, and he has to pay respects to Kagezuo-sama.
Lord Kagezuo likes gold bars very much.
No. 76 was arresting people everywhere, and Jiubao and Chen Zhanli also arrested many people.
In one day, hundreds of people were imprisoned in prison No. 76, and the deserted prison was overcrowded in an instant.
Some were wronged, and some did help the Chinese people a lot.
As long as there is a reason, catch it first.
I dare not kill them indiscriminately, but with evidence, I will definitely not be able to escape, and this time I will feed a lot of peanuts.
Youzhai Wenshe, Yamashita is giving a speech to a group of people.
In his mouth, Japan's surprise attack on the United States this time is a very smart move, but the navy is still too timid. It should ignore the losses and dispatch planes many times, which is bound to blow up the US base in Hawaii.
All the warships were blown up and sunk by them, leaving them with no possibility of renovation.
After talking about the navy, Yamashita talked about the situation in China again.
In response to the attack on Hong Kong, the Japanese base camp asked Tian Junliu to launch another attack on Changsha, be sure to take down the city, and then open up the road to Shanghai.
In this way, the Japanese army in northern China can go all the way south to support Hong Kong and Nanyang.
Not long after the last war ended, Tian Junliu didn't want to fight, but he had no choice but to obey the orders of the base camp.
It is still the Eleventh Army that is in charge of this war.
Avi received the order to prepare for the battle immediately. The number of people used this time is also quite large. The third division, the sixth division, the forty division and the independent mixed ninth brigade. The fourth division was kicked out by him. I dare not use it anymore.
It would be a great shame for them to switch to other divisions and not allow them to participate in the battle.
But the Fourth Division not only didn't have any shame, but was very proud.
People will die in a war, and if they don't participate, there will definitely be no losses. Although they lost the least in the last battle of Changsha, hundreds of people still died.
There is no need to go to war now, just to do their business with peace of mind.
Daheyuan in Nanchang also received an order to go out of the city with the Ninth Independent Brigade to attack Shanggao, help support the Changsha battlefield, and contain the Guo army in northern Jiangxi.
All kinds of information were collected by Chu Lingyun, sent to the headquarters together, and finally reached the hands of General Xue.
Changsha, combat headquarters.
General Xue is holding a high-level military meeting.
"In this battle, I am going to continue the method of the first time. I will no longer keep blocking. This time I will let the enemy in and use the terrain to lay out the battle net. Not only will I keep Changsha, but at the same time I will severely damage the enemy."
After General Xue finished speaking, he patted the table with a firm expression.
"Commander, is it too risky to do so?"
Someone worried and asked, it is easy to let the Japanese in, but once they occupy Changsha, they will be defeated this time.
They were allowed to rush into Changsha City last time. If the sixth war zone hadn't helped them fight Yichang and trapped the Japanese army there, I'm afraid it would have been dangerous last time.
"No, I have a sense of proportion. We are far behind in weapons and equipment, especially tanks. Their tanks pose the greatest threat to us. This time I specially formulated this tactic against their tanks. It will definitely succeed."
General Xue shook his head. After fighting the Japanese so many times, General Xue knew the Japanese army very well. The Japanese army was strong, but not so strong that it was invincible.
The Japanese army suffered from him several times, and the 106th Division of Wanjialing was almost wiped out by him.
He killed the largest number of Japanese soldiers.
General Xue is the commander, with high prestige, no one objected to the tactics he set up, and new tactics were formulated soon.
The military command gave him detailed information, allowing him to make arrangements more calmly.
The Japanese army was going to come from Yueyang. From Yueyang to Changsha, there are many flat places, and there are four long horizontal rivers.
The flat terrain is an advantage for the heavy force of the Japanese army, but as long as it is handled properly, their advantage can be resolved and turned into one's own advantage.
After the last battle in Changsha, General Xue has been thinking about what would happen if the Japanese army were let in and the siege was carried out according to the previous idea?
He deduced it many times, and the result was better than the last time he played.
Even if they can't completely defeat them, they can still inflict heavy damage, let alone let them occupy Changsha.
The Japanese army made a comeback so soon, General Xue decided to apply the well-conceived tactics to the Japanese army.
What's more, he also has the intelligence assistance of the military command, which allows him to keep abreast of the situation of the Japanese army.
NO.15, Awei mobilized almost five divisions, and about 10 people gathered in Xinqianghe. General Xue was ready to take revenge, and Awei also wanted to wash away the shame of not being able to capture Changsha last time.
When he was in a meeting in Nanjing, he heard some people commenting that he had fought the battle of Changsha like that, humiliating the face of the imperial soldiers.
Awei has come to the top, this time is his chance to avenge his shame, he is only allowed to succeed, not to fail.
Both sides are bound to win, and the war is about to begin.
Time passed slowly, and on the 24th, it began to rain heavily in Yueyang, which soon turned into heavy snow.
The weather was very bad, but Avi had a whim and chose to attack on this day.
His reason was that with such bad weather, the Chinese would never have imagined that they would attack suddenly.
In the afternoon, the Japanese artillery position suddenly opened fire, and the third Changsha battle officially started.
In Shanghai, Chu Lingyun was holding the phone.
"Use my merchant ship to deliver supplies?"
Chu Lingyun was very surprised. The call was from Tian Junliu, asking him for help. He wanted to send a batch of weapons and ammunition to Awei with the caravan of Shiyuan Trading Company.
"That's right, he didn't bring much ammunition this time, so he must be supported."
Tian Junliu didn't think too much, and immediately explained the reason. Chu Lingyun quickly understood that Awei was eager to attack and did not wait for the logistics to be fully in place.
In other words, the Japanese are now short of supplies and have reached the point where they lack ammunition.
The soldiers they fought each carried only 120 bullets, which sounds like a lot, but in the war this number was very small and not enough.
So Avi's battle plan is half a month. If there is not enough logistical supplies, half a month is his limit. If he runs out of bullets in the end, it will be a big joke. artillery fire against the Chinese.
"No problem, I will arrange the fleet and convoy right away."
Chu Lingyun agreed, and this matter cannot be refused, but his fleet and convoy will never reach the battlefield.
This time, Tian Junliu dispatched the munitions from various places, and the Ishihara Merchant fleet received them all the way along the river, and those who received it first went to Wuhan immediately without delay.
Avi has started to fight, and more weapons and ammunition must be sent to him in time.
You can send it. What if the ship has an accident and you can’t leave?
This is too simple, find a place where the water bath is shallow and narrow, blow up a few ships, and the waterway will be blocked immediately.
There was nothing wrong with Chu Lingyun bombing the ship of his Shiyuan Trading Company with people from the military command.
At that time, Chu Lingyun would still be able to blame Tian Junliu for leaking the secret and causing him losses.
He is a victim. Who would have thought that he blew up the ship himself?
The plan was good, and Chu Lingyun executed it immediately.
There is no need to collect information, he has the most detailed information in his hands, and he will give it to Loach and the others to make a plan, and he will complete it.
This time he won't follow the boat, and neither will Fang Shiyi.
Send those people who usually promote military doctrine to the ship, and get rid of them together by the way.
Chu Lingyun would never feel sorry for the death of one child and the loss of another.
The Xinqiang Heguo Army held on for a day, but was still broken by the Japanese army the next day. The defenders retreated while fighting, but the Japanese army advanced quickly. Among them, the 133rd Division was bitten by two divisions, the entire division was disrupted, and communication was completely interrupted. .
However, many of their strongholds are still defending desperately, vowing to kill the enemy.
On the 26th, the snowfall increased, and there was heavy snow in the sky. Many of the Guojun 58th Army came from the Yunnan Army, and the Yunnan Army is notoriously intolerant of severe cold. In addition, the cotton coats were not as thick as they were prepared. Many soldiers were frozen to death at night. .
However, even if they were frozen into ice sculptures, their guns were still aimed at the Japanese positions.
They didn't run away, they didn't start a fire.
They are all heroes.
General Xue originally planned to let the Japanese army in, and then completely implement the eight-character combat policy of retreating and fighting for the outer wings, so that the Japanese can come to Changsha. His battle plan is like a furnace, and Changsha is the bottom of the furnace.
He wants to use this stove to completely melt the Japanese, so that they will never come back.
General Xue summed up the last battle carefully, and the Guo army suffered a lot of casualties, and he made a lot of mistakes.
He obviously had the opportunity to lure the enemy in, and even fight with them in the streets to reduce the threat of their heavy firepower, but he chose to confront them head-on, and even filled up troops one after another.
In the end, great casualties were caused.
At present, there are four lines of defense outside Changsha, which happen to be four large rivers.
The first is Xinqianghe, where the pressure on Japan’s logistics supplies is the least, and the Japanese army has the greatest advantage. The entanglement between Xinqianghe and the Japanese army is entirely to allow the Japanese army to give full play to their advantages.
The second line of defense is the Miluo River, which can be said to be very similar, each with its own advantages and disadvantages.
The third is the Laodao River, where there are mostly paddy fields, and the Japanese tanks and artillery are not easy to move. They have become the disadvantaged side. General Xue will start a tug-of-war with the Japanese army between the Laodao River and the fourth Liuyang River defense line. .
In this battle, General Xue ordered that all roads along the way be destroyed, and water be added to the paddy fields to prevent their tanks and artillery from passing through.
Without good roads, even if some tanks and artillery can come over, there will definitely be some that cannot keep up or are broken.
Can reduce them a little is a little.
The villages along the way even set up sentry posts, and when they found the Japanese army, they lit beacons and used beacons to convey information, telling them that the Japanese were coming.
In this way, they can clearly know the movements of the Japanese army.
When the Japanese come in, his stove will start to let them feel the heat of Changsha.
The Japanese army is breaking through more smoothly than last time, Avi is very happy.
But the staff members are not optimistic. They hope that the Chinese will fight them in the front line like last time, so that they can be defeated quickly.
Obviously, the Chinese have learned their lesson and did not use the last method.
"General, urgent call."
The staff officer happily brought over a telegram, and Awei was dumbfounded when he took a look.
Just yesterday evening, the British army in Hong Kong announced its surrender.
The reason they launched the attack on Changsha this time is to support Hong Kong. Once Hong Kong surrenders, this reason will naturally not be valid.
The chief of staff and some other staff members are also urging Awei to withdraw his troops.
Helpless, Awei really took the lead this time, and he wanted to take Changsha with his life and death.
His mind is full of Changsha, and he doesn't listen to persuasion at all.
He also summed up several reasons. First of all, taking Changsha can deal a blow to Principal Chang's prestige, and it can even contain the Chinese troops.
Secondly, let other people in the world see that the Japanese army still has a lot of power to spare.
In the end, the Chinese in Hunan were disappointed in Chongqing, thinking that the Guojun could not protect them, and threatened the entire Sixth Theater by the way.
The staff department was quite speechless about his reasons. Awei refused to listen to persuasion and wanted to fight desperately, and there was no order to retreat from above. At this time, they could only obey the military order.
It's not impossible for the following to overcome, but it's not necessary. After all, the current performance of the war is still very beneficial to them. What if they can really take Changsha this time?
Then everyone will make a collective contribution.
Awei still sent a telegram to Tian Junliu, inquiring about continuing to fight, but Tian Junliu did not reply, in fact he was hesitating.
There was no turning back when he opened the bow, and Awei shot it out, but he just retreated like this, and his face couldn't hold back either.
But if he agrees to fight, if Awei returns without success like last time, he will lose even more face. He is not in such a hurry now. Ishihara Heng has bought him two and a half years. cannibalize.
Simply don't reply, let Avi make his own decision.
If it works, he has a share of the credit. If it doesn’t work, it’s Avi’s fault, and his responsibility will be much smaller.
At most, I will review afterwards, because of my own hesitation, I failed to stop Awei in time. He wanted to stop it, but wasted time.
On the afternoon of the 27th, the Japanese army attacked the Miluo River, with continuous rain and snow, the water level of the river rose a lot, the current was also fast, and it was very difficult to pass through. The engineering team of the [-]th Army suffered a lot.
Everyone had frostbite on their hands and faces, as if they had been bitten by a dog.
The Guo army waited for work with leisure, and they fought in the cold mud for two consecutive days. The Guo army felt uncomfortable, and the Japanese army felt even more uncomfortable.
Their tanks and artillery can't keep up, so they can only fight with the Chinese.
The bad weather had a great impact on the Japanese army, and the Guo army gave full play to its geographical advantages and continued to ambush.
The 40th Regiment of the 20th Division's supply unit was ambushed by the [-]th Army. The regiment leader Morikawa was directly killed, and the Guojun even secretly set up a bunker under the railway bridge.
The Yokota Brigade became unlucky, and was shot by machine guns when they passed by. Many people devoted their loyalty to their emperor without knowing what happened.
The march was not going well, and the staff once again persuaded Awei to give up.
It's a pity that Awei couldn't control so much at this time, he insisted on going his own way, and sent Tian Junliu an "arbitrary pleading report".
Tian Junliu liked this report very much. With this report, if he really failed in the future, it was Awei's arbitrary responsibility. Did he plead guilty even if he didn't read it?
Yangtze River, Anqing section.
The fleet of Ishihara Trading Company, under the escort of the Japanese water patrol team, six ships slowly sailed out of the dock.
The six ships were loaded with weapons and ammunition, and they had to be sent to the front line immediately to support the Eleventh Army.
In a shallow water area, loach is holding a telescope.
"Chu Yuan, are the explosives ready?"
Niach asked while watching, Chu Yuanyuan nodded: "Don't worry, Team Leader Zhao, everything is installed, and I personally brought someone to install it."
When the ship was at the dock, they installed some high explosives on the ship. This is an ammunition ship, and it must be beautiful after the explosion.
It's just that the boat belongs to Ishihara Trading Company. He brought people to blow up the team leader's boat. The team leader won't let him lose money, right?
Loach thought wickedly in his heart, he naturally knew that the team leader couldn't let him pay this money.
"Very well, we are ready to enjoy the big fireworks."
Niach nodded, this time he led the team, and Chu Yuan assisted in the action.
It is not difficult to install explosives. The pier is heavily guarded, but those guards are arranged by their team leader, and the situation of the guards is well known.
This time the team was led by the General Manager of Ishihara Trading Company Security.
The general manager is Japanese, and Chu Lingyun chose him because he is very honest and reliable.
He has always strictly obeyed Chu Lingyun's orders.
This time Hu Lingyun gave him a secret mission. After arriving in Anqing, help him buy some antiques. He knows that these antiques are in the hands of several traitors.
Let them sell the antiques to themselves according to the specified amount of money.
The amount of money is very low, and it is not bad to give money. If you ask for it directly, you have to give it.
Chu Lingyun knew him very well, the general manager liked to show off, and this time the task was to persecute him, but Chu Lingyun specifically told him not to disturb the garrison.
To put it simply, Ishihara Heng did not want the garrison to know and participate in this matter.
After all, it's not nice to say that it's tricky to steal.
When the general manager went to carry out the task, he would definitely bring all the people in the fleet with him, and there would only be a few people on each ship to chat with, maybe even one or two people.
According to the guards, they sneaked into the water after the people from Shiyuan Trading Company left, and secretly arranged explosives on the ship.
It's not a time bomb. The current time bombs are not so mature and they need to be detonated manually.
The way to detonate is very simple, with bombardment.
Loach brought 160 people and twelve [-]mm mortars this time.
All Japanese-style equipment, and thousands of shells were brought.
Chen Lingyun was rich and powerful, so he used the best equipment to blow up his own things.
As for where the mortar came from, will the Japanese find out.
Chu Lingyun didn't have any worries.
The mortars were bought by them at a high price. The business of the Fourth Division is really honest and credible. Except for the serial number, all the mortars are probably new, and they are very easy to use.
And these mortars were reported as damaged by them during the Battle of Changsha, and they couldn't find them if they wanted to.
In fact, these mortars were capable of sinking merchant ships.
However, Chu Lingyun was worried that the gunners of the military command would not be able to aim accurately, and the merchant ship would not sink as planned, and the effect of blocking the river would not be achieved.
They deliberately asked them to find an opportunity to add some materials to the ship.
Blowing up one's own boat is rare.
The ship is loaded with weapons and ammunition, and with the help of external high explosives, as long as a shell falls on it, the whole ship will be over immediately.
Six ships from Ishihara Trading Company were slowly approaching, and they were accompanied by many patrol boats from the Water Patrol Brigade, including two gunboats.
Loach and their targets are merchant ships, not patrol boats.
It is also because of the presence of patrol boats that they don't have much time. Once the gunboat locks on the target, they can immediately fire at the mortar position by the river.
The ambush time was 3 minutes, and six positions were set up, each with two mortars, and each position was responsible for a merchant ship.
Within 3 minutes, they must sink all merchant ships.
It is not easy to let them sink in the position they want.
Niach is very confident. There are many elites in their combat situation team. This time, they also transferred a few sharpshooters from the Loyalty and National Salvation Army. They chose a narrow location, and the width of the entire river is less than 700 meters.
Their mortars have a range of more than 2000 meters. At such a short distance, shells can hit them like bricks.
The fleet arrived, and when they arrived at the designated location, Loach immediately sent out signal flares. The six prepared ambush points, the gunners had already prepared, and immediately dropped the shells into the barrel after receiving the order.
"boom boom"
Explosions continued on the river, and the first round of shelling hit two merchant ships and one unlucky patrol boat.
Seeing such a big error, the angry loach scolded, how did these people hit it?
It was [-] miles off, the position was wrong, and it was in the wrong place.
The bottom line is guaranteed, thanks to Dahuang Mayfly for the reward of 3000 starting coins, and thanks to the First Guards Tank Brigade for the reward of 1000 starting coins again.
(End of this chapter)
"Commander, Master Tianhai is here."
When the guard came in to report, Gangcun immediately stood up and went to greet him in person.
Tianhai is a mage from Japan and has a high prestige in Japan. Okamura respects him very much and takes him to the reception room in person.
"Master Tianhai, why did you come here suddenly?"
Gangcun made the tea himself, and Tianhai took the teacup with a serious expression on his face: "I read about the empire's actions against the United States in the newspaper, and I immediately took a divination, but I didn't expect it to be a bad omen."
Tianhai's divination is very famous and very effective, at least he himself believes it.
"Big murderer?"
Gangcun frowned, he was not optimistic about such an action, and Tianhai's heart was even heavier when he said this.
Tianhai thinks the same as him, is it true that the empire will inevitably fail this time?
"General, what do you think of the prospects for this war?"
"This is the decision of the above and the Navy."
Gangcun sighed, Tianhai is not such an easy person to be fooled, and continued to ask: "General, you have always been a person with your own opinions, don't you think so?"
Tianhai asked again and again, Gangcun had no choice but to nod: "Since it has been done, it is too late to say anything now. The only way at present is to stop immediately after taking down Singapore, and never expand the scale of the war."
"General, your idea is very good, but unfortunately, you are not the one who makes decisions."
Tianhai sighed heavily. Although he is a mage, he is a Japanese after all. Of course he hopes that the empire will become stronger and stronger.
Once it fails, it will be a disaster for the empire.
There are some things that Gangcun didn't say. With the resources of the empire so tight, it is very stupid to open up a second battlefield, targeting Britain and the United States.
They are not Germany, even if it is Germany, look at what countries they occupy, and now they have stopped in Russia.
If Germany fails to defeat Russia, or is counterattacked by Russia, it will also be a disaster for them.
If Germany is defeated, Japan will inevitably be left alone.
As for Italy, Gangcun didn't think about it at all. This pig teammate, if Germany loses, they will also not be able to escape.
If there is a war with the United States, then it is not suitable to continue fighting in China. The best way is to reconcile with China immediately, even if you give up some territory, just keep your core interests.
Next, they will use all their strength to deal with the United States. If they can reach the United States, or make peace with the United States, it will not be too late to continue to occupy China.
It's a pity that he is not the one who decides, and the Radicals and Saijo will not listen to his advice.
Now those people are all crazy.
He regretted a little that he shouldn't have let Saijo take the position. He should have expected that with Saijo's temperament, he would definitely stride forward after taking the position.
Big strides are fast, but at the same time it is easy to strain yourself.
Gangcun didn't say these words to anyone, and it was meaningless to say them, which could easily displease Saijo.
Before, he disliked Tian Junliu's small steps, but now he hopes that he will stay here, save more money for the empire, and let the navy fight the battle first.
Without its navy, the United States naturally cannot pose a threat to Japan.
Saijo's temper is indeed very anxious. As soon as he attacked the US base, he started attacking Malaysia and Hong Kong.
The Japanese army officially launched an attack on Malaysia from the Kra Isthmus, and at the same time directly attacked Hong Kong from China.
Japan showed its fangs to the world.
On the [-]th, Principal Chang finally ordered that the Guo Party government officially declare war on Japan. After several years of fighting, there was no formal declaration of war. It can be seen that Principal Chang has always had a fluke in his heart.
This time, with the support of the Americans and the demands of the Americans, Principal Chang finally made a formal response.
On the same day, a large number of Japanese troops marched into the public concession.
In Shiyuan Commercial House, Chu Lingyun was looking out the window, and Fang Shiyi was standing beside him.
The road outside has been put under martial law, and the gendarmes arranged by Takemoto himself are not allowed to come here, let alone any harassment.
Not only the headquarters of Shiyuan Trading Company, but also all the properties of Shiyuan shopping malls, he sent military police to protect them, lest someone take advantage of the fire to rob and make Shiyuan Heng angry.
Takemoto is already the commander of the Gendarmerie Command, and his rank is very conspicuous.
And those who were the same squadron leader as he was, are still squadron leaders now, and they are very different from him.
They saw that they wanted to salute respectfully, and they didn't dare to have any ambiguity about their orders.
Takemoto is in power and proud, and he knows who gave him all this.
It was Yamashita's troops that entered the concession today, and Takemoto would not let these contribution points be taken away by Yamashita. He sent military police to protect Ishihara Trading Company.
"Boss, they really did attack the concession."
Way sighed slightly. He had discussed this issue with his boss before. Once Japan goes to war, the concession will cease to exist. Japan will not tolerate the power of other countries to continue to occupy the bustling Shanghai.
"The inevitable thing has long been expected."
Chu Lingyun knew far more than Fang Shiyi. Abe had already taken over Maeda's position under his urging, and became the head of the Shanghai Liaison Department of Xingya Academy.
Abe came to him yesterday and talked with him about the concession.
The French Concession is better. After all, the puppet government of France is an ally, so we should give Germany some face and won't kill them.
But the dominance must be in the hands of the Japanese.
As for the public concession, the domestic meaning is that it will not be banned for the time being, but it must be controlled by the empire.
Keep the name of the concession, but not the reality of the concession.
At that time, their Liaison Department will set up a coordination committee, and he has already selected the director of the committee, Maruyama Kotomo, the Minister of Commerce of the Liaison Department.
Maruyama is Abe's confidant, and gave Abe a lot of money to get this position.
His confidants can also get money, and if he wants to be an official, he must give money. This is Abe's temperament.
The President of the Public Concession Industry Bureau, Felim, trembled with anger.
The Japanese rushed into his room swaggeringly.
In fact, after learning about Japan's sneak attack on the United States, Felim understood that the good days of the concession had come to an end, and the Japanese had long coveted the concession, and they would never let them go this time.
It's just that I didn't expect it to be so fast, so I called in without even talking.
"What are you going to do?"
Felim took a deep breath and asked Maruyama Kotomo who came in.
"Don't do anything, President Felim, I'm now formally informing you that the Empire of Japan has specially set up a coordination committee for your concession. You guys, you have to report all the affairs of the Ministry of Industry to the committee. The director of the committee, that is, me It can only be implemented after approval.”
He is Xueying Zuo, and he has become the Supreme Emperor.
Felim was taken aback for a moment. Instead of banning the Bureau of Industry and Commerce, a new agency was established above them?
Even if the Japanese banned them and drove them all away, Felim would have nothing to do.
The British Empire is no longer the empire on which the sun never sets. It is impossible for Britain to fight in Shanghai, let alone have that chance. If it does, Germany will definitely laugh out loud.
"May I be a puppet?"
Felim sneered, although they didn't cancel them, but they had to follow the arrangements of the Japanese in everything, and they would no longer have any autonomy.
"You have no choice, obey or die."
The empire has declared war on Britain, and even Hong Kong has gone to fight. Maruyama doesn't care about the people in front of him at all.
Felim held back his anger, and finally nodded.
There is no way, people have to bow their heads under the eaves, they are now the meat on the cutting board, let the Japanese handle it.
Maruyama left arrogantly, these Westerners who are usually arrogant and arrogant still have today?
They will eventually surrender to the empire, and Japan is the most powerful country in the world.
The concession was in a depression, and Japan took over all the defense, and the patrol room was not moved for the time being, but everything that the patrol room did had to be reported to the Japanese.
The Japanese tell them to act, and they must obey.
Many chief inspectors acted according to the wind and immediately abandoned Fernando to show courteousness to his new master.
Most of the patrols are Chinese or Indians, and the Japanese treat them like the police in the urban area, and all trivial matters are entrusted to them.
In extra-high class, Fernan was very panicked.
What Japan was doing was a sneak attack, and they didn't give them time to prepare, and they rushed into the concession so quickly, he didn't even have a chance to run.
Besides, they couldn't run away. The Japanese monitored all the places before they made a move.
Fernan was 'invited' into a super-high class.
There is no difference between saying yes and getting caught.
He was brought to the torture room. Seeing the horrific instruments of torture in the torture room, Fernan's legs went limp, and he barely sat there while being held up.
It was Jiang Tengkong who arrested him.
He didn't tell Nanyun, but directly attacked. Fernan was related to Chu Lingyun. He had to be the first to catch him back. He was more controllable in his hands.
"Mr. Fernan, do you know why we are looking for you?"
Jiang Tengkong personally interrogated, and asked lightly, Nanyun still doesn't know that he has captured Fernan.
"I understand, but I don't know where Chu Lingyun is."
Fernan immediately replied, no need to ask, he took the initiative to tell about his relationship with Chu Lingyun.
Chu Lingyun was in business with Smith before. In fact, Chu Lingyun was in charge of the company, and Smith's shares were very small. The Japanese knew this for a long time.
Later, Chu Lingyun contacted him several times, but he never showed up again. Fernan revealed an important person, Ran Wu.
Ran Wu is from Chu Lingyun.
He doesn't know anything else.
Jiang Tengkong asked him to explain everything he had done for Chu Lingyun in detail, and finally signed and pledged.
"Go and catch Ran Wu right away. Remember, you have to catch someone alive. He probably knows where Chu Lingyun is."
When Jiang Tengkong's interrogation came out, the people Fernan told him had to be arrested, and his confidantes took them out immediately. Jiang Tengkong said he wanted to live, because he was afraid that he would be beaten to death, so he couldn't explain to Chu Lingyun.
Not long after, his subordinates called.
"Ran?"
Jiang Tengkong was not surprised. With such a big incident, with Chu Lingyun's intelligence, he would not leave such a big loophole.
It's good to run away, and he will have no follow-up if he runs away. It's not that he doesn't do it, but he can't do it.
"Jiang Teng, did you catch Fernan?"
Nagumo suddenly broke into his office and asked directly.
Jiang Tengkong got up and nodded lightly: "That's right, Fernan and Chu Lingyun have an unusual relationship. I'll catch him in advance to prevent him from running away."
It was too late for Nan Yun to know. He had finished interrogating everyone and completed the follow-up work.
"Why didn't you tell me in advance?"
Nanyun was a little annoyed, Jiang Tengkong would at least tell her ward when he did things before, but this time he didn't mention it, and directly arrested such an important person.
"The head of the section, the head of the section has ordered that if there is an important situation, I can do it without asking for instructions."
Jiang Tengkong replied without humility, that Nanyun has been completely ignored by him, and what he said in the special high school Nanyun still works, why should he tell her?
Besides, this is indeed the authorization given to him by Tu Yuan.
Tuyuan was completely disappointed with Nagumo. If it wasn't for Nayun being his disciple and there was no particularly serious mistake, he would have removed Nayun a long time ago.
And Jiang Tengkong, who made contributions to Yagyu Taro, has already gained his trust.
Jiang Tengkong carried Tuyuan out, and Nan Yun lost his temper instantly.
"I'll go to the trial again."
Nanyun left, Jiang Tengkong ignored her, this woman was a little confused about the current situation.
Since he didn't say anything, and he didn't report the incident afterwards, he naturally wouldn't let Nan Yun easily interrogate him.
"Turn away, where did you go?"
In the prison of the special high school, Nan Yun's eyes widened. Fernan was no longer in the special high school, and Jiang Tengkong sent someone to take him to another place.
"Master, we don't know."
The people in the prison answered honestly that their rank was too low, and Jiang Tengkong really didn't say where he was transferred.
Nanyun understood that Jiang Tengkong didn't want her to intervene in this case.
But this case has a chance to catch Chu Lingyun. If she catches someone, the special high school will completely become her world in the future. If Jiang Tengkong catches her, she will be dismissed and transferred immediately.
This great achievement is enough for Jiang Tengkong to take over the position.
Nanyun was not reconciled, but she still pressed down on the urge to ask Jiang Tengkong for someone.
He obviously turned the person away, but Jiang Tengkong didn't tell her. He was obviously watching her joke, and she wouldn't tell Jiang Tengkong if she asked him, she was just humiliating herself.
Back in the office, Nagumo lowered his head, eyes full of anger.
Jiang Tengkong finally showed his true face, and the next step was to drive her away.
In the face of desperation, she has nothing to do.
Complaining to the master will only speed up her dismissal. Jiang Tengkong started ahead of time because she was doing something, but she made comments to the subordinates who were doing it. The master hates this kind of thing the most.
An incompetent person does not deserve to stay in this position.
This was what Master had said to Mitsui at the beginning, and she didn't want to use it on herself.
Ran Wu ran away, but did not leave Shanghai.
He hid at Feng Yong's side.
Chu Lingyun knew that Fernan would definitely be taken away. Fernan was unreliable, so he would confess to Ran Wu, and Ran Wu had to hide.
Usually Ran Wu has no contact with other people, no one knows that he and Feng Yong are actually good brothers.
Temporarily hiding in Feng Yongna is safe.
Ran Wu hid it, and it could be used as a knife for Chu Lingyun secretly, allowing him to do things that are inconvenient for others to do.
The eight dead men directly under Chu Lingyun remained by his side.
However, Chu Lingyun has already started to arrange for the four of them to work in Shiyuan Commercial Bank, and then slowly transfer them to his side for use.
They didn't know that Shi Yuanheng was themselves, but Chu Lingyun understood that at critical moments, as long as Chu Lingyun revealed his identity, they would protect each other with their lives.
On the 76th, both Li Zhiqun and Chen Zhanli moved.
After the Japanese occupied the public concession, they immediately came to the concession, and Kubo deliberately brought Chen Zhanli to the patrol room.
"Lu Daming."
Kubo stared coldly at the man in front of him whose legs were trembling and was constantly wiping sweat.
"Yes, the villain is here."
"When you arrested me, did you think about today?"
Kubao was very relieved. At first, he was set up by the military commander to bring people from the Loyal National Salvation Army. He wanted to catch all the general commanders, but he was arrested by the police.
If he hadn't been able to hide far away, he would probably have to go to the jail in the patrol room.
Later, he was forced to spend a lot of money to redeem him.
"My lord, the villain has no eyes, so I should hit you. Don't be as knowledgeable as the villain. I will return all your money to you. The money is at home, and I will get it for you."
Lu Daming fell to his knees with a thud, and slapped himself repeatedly. Now the British and Americans can't protect themselves. The concession has suddenly changed. The Japanese are in charge, and he doesn't dare to resist at all.
"Where are the patrols responsible for arresting people?"
Chen Zhanli immediately asked, Kubao came to vent his anger. These people are not military commanders, but they have helped military commanders.
It is impossible for Lu Daming to take money to save his life.
Doesn't he know that if he is arrested, all his money will be taken away, and now he has no backer, nothing like shit.
"Except for Ran Wu, everyone else is here."
Lu Daming said carefully, and Kubao frowned: "Who is Ran Wu?"
"My deputy was the one he led the team to arrest."
"Is he going by himself, or is it an order from you?" Kubo asked again.
"It was my order. Someone reported that you were going to fight the military commander, so I asked Ran Wu to lead people there."
Kubao didn't speak any more. Seeing Kubao leave, Chen Zhanli ordered Lu Daming to be arrested.
"Forgive me, Kubo-sama, please forgive me..."
Lu Daming was taken away screaming, and someone ransacked his home, and that would be the end for anyone who dared to arrest No. 76.
"Go and find out where Ran Wu went."
Chen Zhanli told Xiaolu that the order was given by Lu Daming, and Ran Wu was the executor, but he is the deputy chief inspector, so he must have a lot of wealth, and they can get a lot of money by arresting people and ransacking their homes with this reason.
Kubo-sama is also short of money, and he has to pay respects to Kagezuo-sama.
Lord Kagezuo likes gold bars very much.
No. 76 was arresting people everywhere, and Jiubao and Chen Zhanli also arrested many people.
In one day, hundreds of people were imprisoned in prison No. 76, and the deserted prison was overcrowded in an instant.
Some were wronged, and some did help the Chinese people a lot.
As long as there is a reason, catch it first.
I dare not kill them indiscriminately, but with evidence, I will definitely not be able to escape, and this time I will feed a lot of peanuts.
Youzhai Wenshe, Yamashita is giving a speech to a group of people.
In his mouth, Japan's surprise attack on the United States this time is a very smart move, but the navy is still too timid. It should ignore the losses and dispatch planes many times, which is bound to blow up the US base in Hawaii.
All the warships were blown up and sunk by them, leaving them with no possibility of renovation.
After talking about the navy, Yamashita talked about the situation in China again.
In response to the attack on Hong Kong, the Japanese base camp asked Tian Junliu to launch another attack on Changsha, be sure to take down the city, and then open up the road to Shanghai.
In this way, the Japanese army in northern China can go all the way south to support Hong Kong and Nanyang.
Not long after the last war ended, Tian Junliu didn't want to fight, but he had no choice but to obey the orders of the base camp.
It is still the Eleventh Army that is in charge of this war.
Avi received the order to prepare for the battle immediately. The number of people used this time is also quite large. The third division, the sixth division, the forty division and the independent mixed ninth brigade. The fourth division was kicked out by him. I dare not use it anymore.
It would be a great shame for them to switch to other divisions and not allow them to participate in the battle.
But the Fourth Division not only didn't have any shame, but was very proud.
People will die in a war, and if they don't participate, there will definitely be no losses. Although they lost the least in the last battle of Changsha, hundreds of people still died.
There is no need to go to war now, just to do their business with peace of mind.
Daheyuan in Nanchang also received an order to go out of the city with the Ninth Independent Brigade to attack Shanggao, help support the Changsha battlefield, and contain the Guo army in northern Jiangxi.
All kinds of information were collected by Chu Lingyun, sent to the headquarters together, and finally reached the hands of General Xue.
Changsha, combat headquarters.
General Xue is holding a high-level military meeting.
"In this battle, I am going to continue the method of the first time. I will no longer keep blocking. This time I will let the enemy in and use the terrain to lay out the battle net. Not only will I keep Changsha, but at the same time I will severely damage the enemy."
After General Xue finished speaking, he patted the table with a firm expression.
"Commander, is it too risky to do so?"
Someone worried and asked, it is easy to let the Japanese in, but once they occupy Changsha, they will be defeated this time.
They were allowed to rush into Changsha City last time. If the sixth war zone hadn't helped them fight Yichang and trapped the Japanese army there, I'm afraid it would have been dangerous last time.
"No, I have a sense of proportion. We are far behind in weapons and equipment, especially tanks. Their tanks pose the greatest threat to us. This time I specially formulated this tactic against their tanks. It will definitely succeed."
General Xue shook his head. After fighting the Japanese so many times, General Xue knew the Japanese army very well. The Japanese army was strong, but not so strong that it was invincible.
The Japanese army suffered from him several times, and the 106th Division of Wanjialing was almost wiped out by him.
He killed the largest number of Japanese soldiers.
General Xue is the commander, with high prestige, no one objected to the tactics he set up, and new tactics were formulated soon.
The military command gave him detailed information, allowing him to make arrangements more calmly.
The Japanese army was going to come from Yueyang. From Yueyang to Changsha, there are many flat places, and there are four long horizontal rivers.
The flat terrain is an advantage for the heavy force of the Japanese army, but as long as it is handled properly, their advantage can be resolved and turned into one's own advantage.
After the last battle in Changsha, General Xue has been thinking about what would happen if the Japanese army were let in and the siege was carried out according to the previous idea?
He deduced it many times, and the result was better than the last time he played.
Even if they can't completely defeat them, they can still inflict heavy damage, let alone let them occupy Changsha.
The Japanese army made a comeback so soon, General Xue decided to apply the well-conceived tactics to the Japanese army.
What's more, he also has the intelligence assistance of the military command, which allows him to keep abreast of the situation of the Japanese army.
NO.15, Awei mobilized almost five divisions, and about 10 people gathered in Xinqianghe. General Xue was ready to take revenge, and Awei also wanted to wash away the shame of not being able to capture Changsha last time.
When he was in a meeting in Nanjing, he heard some people commenting that he had fought the battle of Changsha like that, humiliating the face of the imperial soldiers.
Awei has come to the top, this time is his chance to avenge his shame, he is only allowed to succeed, not to fail.
Both sides are bound to win, and the war is about to begin.
Time passed slowly, and on the 24th, it began to rain heavily in Yueyang, which soon turned into heavy snow.
The weather was very bad, but Avi had a whim and chose to attack on this day.
His reason was that with such bad weather, the Chinese would never have imagined that they would attack suddenly.
In the afternoon, the Japanese artillery position suddenly opened fire, and the third Changsha battle officially started.
In Shanghai, Chu Lingyun was holding the phone.
"Use my merchant ship to deliver supplies?"
Chu Lingyun was very surprised. The call was from Tian Junliu, asking him for help. He wanted to send a batch of weapons and ammunition to Awei with the caravan of Shiyuan Trading Company.
"That's right, he didn't bring much ammunition this time, so he must be supported."
Tian Junliu didn't think too much, and immediately explained the reason. Chu Lingyun quickly understood that Awei was eager to attack and did not wait for the logistics to be fully in place.
In other words, the Japanese are now short of supplies and have reached the point where they lack ammunition.
The soldiers they fought each carried only 120 bullets, which sounds like a lot, but in the war this number was very small and not enough.
So Avi's battle plan is half a month. If there is not enough logistical supplies, half a month is his limit. If he runs out of bullets in the end, it will be a big joke. artillery fire against the Chinese.
"No problem, I will arrange the fleet and convoy right away."
Chu Lingyun agreed, and this matter cannot be refused, but his fleet and convoy will never reach the battlefield.
This time, Tian Junliu dispatched the munitions from various places, and the Ishihara Merchant fleet received them all the way along the river, and those who received it first went to Wuhan immediately without delay.
Avi has started to fight, and more weapons and ammunition must be sent to him in time.
You can send it. What if the ship has an accident and you can’t leave?
This is too simple, find a place where the water bath is shallow and narrow, blow up a few ships, and the waterway will be blocked immediately.
There was nothing wrong with Chu Lingyun bombing the ship of his Shiyuan Trading Company with people from the military command.
At that time, Chu Lingyun would still be able to blame Tian Junliu for leaking the secret and causing him losses.
He is a victim. Who would have thought that he blew up the ship himself?
The plan was good, and Chu Lingyun executed it immediately.
There is no need to collect information, he has the most detailed information in his hands, and he will give it to Loach and the others to make a plan, and he will complete it.
This time he won't follow the boat, and neither will Fang Shiyi.
Send those people who usually promote military doctrine to the ship, and get rid of them together by the way.
Chu Lingyun would never feel sorry for the death of one child and the loss of another.
The Xinqiang Heguo Army held on for a day, but was still broken by the Japanese army the next day. The defenders retreated while fighting, but the Japanese army advanced quickly. Among them, the 133rd Division was bitten by two divisions, the entire division was disrupted, and communication was completely interrupted. .
However, many of their strongholds are still defending desperately, vowing to kill the enemy.
On the 26th, the snowfall increased, and there was heavy snow in the sky. Many of the Guojun 58th Army came from the Yunnan Army, and the Yunnan Army is notoriously intolerant of severe cold. In addition, the cotton coats were not as thick as they were prepared. Many soldiers were frozen to death at night. .
However, even if they were frozen into ice sculptures, their guns were still aimed at the Japanese positions.
They didn't run away, they didn't start a fire.
They are all heroes.
General Xue originally planned to let the Japanese army in, and then completely implement the eight-character combat policy of retreating and fighting for the outer wings, so that the Japanese can come to Changsha. His battle plan is like a furnace, and Changsha is the bottom of the furnace.
He wants to use this stove to completely melt the Japanese, so that they will never come back.
General Xue summed up the last battle carefully, and the Guo army suffered a lot of casualties, and he made a lot of mistakes.
He obviously had the opportunity to lure the enemy in, and even fight with them in the streets to reduce the threat of their heavy firepower, but he chose to confront them head-on, and even filled up troops one after another.
In the end, great casualties were caused.
At present, there are four lines of defense outside Changsha, which happen to be four large rivers.
The first is Xinqianghe, where the pressure on Japan’s logistics supplies is the least, and the Japanese army has the greatest advantage. The entanglement between Xinqianghe and the Japanese army is entirely to allow the Japanese army to give full play to their advantages.
The second line of defense is the Miluo River, which can be said to be very similar, each with its own advantages and disadvantages.
The third is the Laodao River, where there are mostly paddy fields, and the Japanese tanks and artillery are not easy to move. They have become the disadvantaged side. General Xue will start a tug-of-war with the Japanese army between the Laodao River and the fourth Liuyang River defense line. .
In this battle, General Xue ordered that all roads along the way be destroyed, and water be added to the paddy fields to prevent their tanks and artillery from passing through.
Without good roads, even if some tanks and artillery can come over, there will definitely be some that cannot keep up or are broken.
Can reduce them a little is a little.
The villages along the way even set up sentry posts, and when they found the Japanese army, they lit beacons and used beacons to convey information, telling them that the Japanese were coming.
In this way, they can clearly know the movements of the Japanese army.
When the Japanese come in, his stove will start to let them feel the heat of Changsha.
The Japanese army is breaking through more smoothly than last time, Avi is very happy.
But the staff members are not optimistic. They hope that the Chinese will fight them in the front line like last time, so that they can be defeated quickly.
Obviously, the Chinese have learned their lesson and did not use the last method.
"General, urgent call."
The staff officer happily brought over a telegram, and Awei was dumbfounded when he took a look.
Just yesterday evening, the British army in Hong Kong announced its surrender.
The reason they launched the attack on Changsha this time is to support Hong Kong. Once Hong Kong surrenders, this reason will naturally not be valid.
The chief of staff and some other staff members are also urging Awei to withdraw his troops.
Helpless, Awei really took the lead this time, and he wanted to take Changsha with his life and death.
His mind is full of Changsha, and he doesn't listen to persuasion at all.
He also summed up several reasons. First of all, taking Changsha can deal a blow to Principal Chang's prestige, and it can even contain the Chinese troops.
Secondly, let other people in the world see that the Japanese army still has a lot of power to spare.
In the end, the Chinese in Hunan were disappointed in Chongqing, thinking that the Guojun could not protect them, and threatened the entire Sixth Theater by the way.
The staff department was quite speechless about his reasons. Awei refused to listen to persuasion and wanted to fight desperately, and there was no order to retreat from above. At this time, they could only obey the military order.
It's not impossible for the following to overcome, but it's not necessary. After all, the current performance of the war is still very beneficial to them. What if they can really take Changsha this time?
Then everyone will make a collective contribution.
Awei still sent a telegram to Tian Junliu, inquiring about continuing to fight, but Tian Junliu did not reply, in fact he was hesitating.
There was no turning back when he opened the bow, and Awei shot it out, but he just retreated like this, and his face couldn't hold back either.
But if he agrees to fight, if Awei returns without success like last time, he will lose even more face. He is not in such a hurry now. Ishihara Heng has bought him two and a half years. cannibalize.
Simply don't reply, let Avi make his own decision.
If it works, he has a share of the credit. If it doesn’t work, it’s Avi’s fault, and his responsibility will be much smaller.
At most, I will review afterwards, because of my own hesitation, I failed to stop Awei in time. He wanted to stop it, but wasted time.
On the afternoon of the 27th, the Japanese army attacked the Miluo River, with continuous rain and snow, the water level of the river rose a lot, the current was also fast, and it was very difficult to pass through. The engineering team of the [-]th Army suffered a lot.
Everyone had frostbite on their hands and faces, as if they had been bitten by a dog.
The Guo army waited for work with leisure, and they fought in the cold mud for two consecutive days. The Guo army felt uncomfortable, and the Japanese army felt even more uncomfortable.
Their tanks and artillery can't keep up, so they can only fight with the Chinese.
The bad weather had a great impact on the Japanese army, and the Guo army gave full play to its geographical advantages and continued to ambush.
The 40th Regiment of the 20th Division's supply unit was ambushed by the [-]th Army. The regiment leader Morikawa was directly killed, and the Guojun even secretly set up a bunker under the railway bridge.
The Yokota Brigade became unlucky, and was shot by machine guns when they passed by. Many people devoted their loyalty to their emperor without knowing what happened.
The march was not going well, and the staff once again persuaded Awei to give up.
It's a pity that Awei couldn't control so much at this time, he insisted on going his own way, and sent Tian Junliu an "arbitrary pleading report".
Tian Junliu liked this report very much. With this report, if he really failed in the future, it was Awei's arbitrary responsibility. Did he plead guilty even if he didn't read it?
Yangtze River, Anqing section.
The fleet of Ishihara Trading Company, under the escort of the Japanese water patrol team, six ships slowly sailed out of the dock.
The six ships were loaded with weapons and ammunition, and they had to be sent to the front line immediately to support the Eleventh Army.
In a shallow water area, loach is holding a telescope.
"Chu Yuan, are the explosives ready?"
Niach asked while watching, Chu Yuanyuan nodded: "Don't worry, Team Leader Zhao, everything is installed, and I personally brought someone to install it."
When the ship was at the dock, they installed some high explosives on the ship. This is an ammunition ship, and it must be beautiful after the explosion.
It's just that the boat belongs to Ishihara Trading Company. He brought people to blow up the team leader's boat. The team leader won't let him lose money, right?
Loach thought wickedly in his heart, he naturally knew that the team leader couldn't let him pay this money.
"Very well, we are ready to enjoy the big fireworks."
Niach nodded, this time he led the team, and Chu Yuan assisted in the action.
It is not difficult to install explosives. The pier is heavily guarded, but those guards are arranged by their team leader, and the situation of the guards is well known.
This time the team was led by the General Manager of Ishihara Trading Company Security.
The general manager is Japanese, and Chu Lingyun chose him because he is very honest and reliable.
He has always strictly obeyed Chu Lingyun's orders.
This time Hu Lingyun gave him a secret mission. After arriving in Anqing, help him buy some antiques. He knows that these antiques are in the hands of several traitors.
Let them sell the antiques to themselves according to the specified amount of money.
The amount of money is very low, and it is not bad to give money. If you ask for it directly, you have to give it.
Chu Lingyun knew him very well, the general manager liked to show off, and this time the task was to persecute him, but Chu Lingyun specifically told him not to disturb the garrison.
To put it simply, Ishihara Heng did not want the garrison to know and participate in this matter.
After all, it's not nice to say that it's tricky to steal.
When the general manager went to carry out the task, he would definitely bring all the people in the fleet with him, and there would only be a few people on each ship to chat with, maybe even one or two people.
According to the guards, they sneaked into the water after the people from Shiyuan Trading Company left, and secretly arranged explosives on the ship.
It's not a time bomb. The current time bombs are not so mature and they need to be detonated manually.
The way to detonate is very simple, with bombardment.
Loach brought 160 people and twelve [-]mm mortars this time.
All Japanese-style equipment, and thousands of shells were brought.
Chen Lingyun was rich and powerful, so he used the best equipment to blow up his own things.
As for where the mortar came from, will the Japanese find out.
Chu Lingyun didn't have any worries.
The mortars were bought by them at a high price. The business of the Fourth Division is really honest and credible. Except for the serial number, all the mortars are probably new, and they are very easy to use.
And these mortars were reported as damaged by them during the Battle of Changsha, and they couldn't find them if they wanted to.
In fact, these mortars were capable of sinking merchant ships.
However, Chu Lingyun was worried that the gunners of the military command would not be able to aim accurately, and the merchant ship would not sink as planned, and the effect of blocking the river would not be achieved.
They deliberately asked them to find an opportunity to add some materials to the ship.
Blowing up one's own boat is rare.
The ship is loaded with weapons and ammunition, and with the help of external high explosives, as long as a shell falls on it, the whole ship will be over immediately.
Six ships from Ishihara Trading Company were slowly approaching, and they were accompanied by many patrol boats from the Water Patrol Brigade, including two gunboats.
Loach and their targets are merchant ships, not patrol boats.
It is also because of the presence of patrol boats that they don't have much time. Once the gunboat locks on the target, they can immediately fire at the mortar position by the river.
The ambush time was 3 minutes, and six positions were set up, each with two mortars, and each position was responsible for a merchant ship.
Within 3 minutes, they must sink all merchant ships.
It is not easy to let them sink in the position they want.
Niach is very confident. There are many elites in their combat situation team. This time, they also transferred a few sharpshooters from the Loyalty and National Salvation Army. They chose a narrow location, and the width of the entire river is less than 700 meters.
Their mortars have a range of more than 2000 meters. At such a short distance, shells can hit them like bricks.
The fleet arrived, and when they arrived at the designated location, Loach immediately sent out signal flares. The six prepared ambush points, the gunners had already prepared, and immediately dropped the shells into the barrel after receiving the order.
"boom boom"
Explosions continued on the river, and the first round of shelling hit two merchant ships and one unlucky patrol boat.
Seeing such a big error, the angry loach scolded, how did these people hit it?
It was [-] miles off, the position was wrong, and it was in the wrong place.
The bottom line is guaranteed, thanks to Dahuang Mayfly for the reward of 3000 starting coins, and thanks to the First Guards Tank Brigade for the reward of 1000 starting coins again.
