63 Commanded in times of danger

When they returned to China, the first stop was to Shanghai, because at this time the tug-of-war in Shanghai had lasted for more than a month, and troops from all over the country had arrived one after another, and Japan was also a large-scale increase in troops, so far, the Japanese army here in Shanghai has reached more than 200,000 people, at this time, the Japanese army has fought for Luodian extremely fiercely, and the weapons that Yelena supported last year, the weapons that he supported this time, and the heavy weapons sent by Yelena brought by the troops from various places, and even the equipment of the tank regiment, there is not much left. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info It can be said that the war situation is very unfavorable, and the Chinese army is actually using a sea of people to resist the sea of fire.

When Yelena just arrived in Shanghai and followed Volkov to understand the battle situation at this time, Yelena's mood was already very bad, at this time, the chairman had ordered the local army to go to Shanghai, and the battle in Luodian was still continuing, but Dachang was in danger again, and the Sichuan army that had just arrived at Nanxiang Railway Station immediately received an order to defend Dachang, these troops from Sichuan, although they were thin, but at this time they were high-spirited, but the difference was that their equipment was all the most advanced weapons, and they wore steel helmets on their heads, In addition to guns and grenades, there are also broadswords they brought from Sichuan, and there are some more special soldiers, they carry bazookas, relatively short automatic rifles on their bodies, and some people carry relatively long guns, people who know weapons can easily judge that this must be a sniper rifle, and almost every company has several such people. They also had mortars, armored vehicles, and even heavy trucks carrying supplies, and in armored vehicles sat snipers, bazooka players, and communications personnel with walkie-talkies, all wearing bulletproof vests and camouflage uniforms, and steel helmets on their heads. In addition to the ammunition and supplementary guns of their troops, the trucks also carried large-caliber artillery that were towed by the big trucks, as well as very tightly covered trucks, with cement, steel bars, clean drinking water equipment, gas masks, medicines, field food, and of course, the most ammunition was the most, not only ordinary ammunition, but even special bombs and explosives, and the so-called special bombs were not even known to the chairman of the committee.

They already have a preliminary understanding of the Japanese army's combat methods, have watched teaching films, and some officers and soldiers on the Songhu battlefield have been assigned to various units to do propaganda and education, and therefore, they know how to protect themselves from being injured in the face of large-caliber artillery and bombshell bombardment, and know what formation to use when charging, how to cover each other, and communication personnel can not only call for artillery support, but also let each other cooperate with each other, not only between their own troops, but also with other troops. For example, the central level, the Hunan army, the Yunnan army and other troops contacted, and this time the planes assigned to Sichuan also brought twenty, these planes are very precious, with a lot of explosives, for the Sichuan army, these planes are too precious, the hometown left twenty to protect the place, and the rest were brought. These armies are the main force of the various local armies, and the average military age is three years, but in reality, half of the troops are new recruits, and their shooting training is an unprecedented luxury, and the other part of the veterans are formed into new units, which become reserves, and are ready to go here at any time.

The sequence of driving the troops to the battlefield in Shanghai, leaving the reserves in the second line, becoming a security regiment, this is' Mr. Wang's main local warlords unanimously negotiated the results, and this action was concealed from the chairman, they only said that there were several regiments of recruits to support them, but in fact, their formation was indeed at the regimental level, but the strength was more than a division, and equipped with a large number of advanced weapons, and there was a medical team, there were doctors who could perform surgery and sufficient medicines, they were responsible not only as a source of reserves, but also responsible for receiving, responsible for transporting the wounded, and they were also equipped with armored vehicles and trucks, in order to transport the wounded, the defense fortifications in Wuhu were locked, and the keys were in the hands of the local security chief, and it was very simple to take the keys, but the defense fortifications at this time disappointed everyone, because it was built in a problematic way, and in some places even the external shooting holes were opened in the wrong direction, and these people had to improve it.

Not only the Sichuan army, but also other local armies, there are reserves, there are medical rescue teams, but also special plainclothes and anti-reconnaissance personnel, each of them has a sense of dealing with enemy infiltration, then it is not easy for the Japanese army to raid.

At this time, the big field has been fighting for a while, although the casualties are not small, but it has not been lost for a long time, the enemy's advantage in firepower is obvious, China's heavy weapons are there, but they are gone after the fight, and the planes are almost consumed, but they can still hold on, relying on people to fill it.

After some understanding, Volkov asked some more questions, and after that, he looked at the map and pondered for a long time, while Sokolov and Yantyuk were discussing how to turn the tide of the war, if the Japanese could defeat the Huangpu River, Yelena looked at Volkov's face, she had a feeling that Volkov was very dissatisfied with the current situation or the layout of the battlefield. After a long time, 'Mr. Wang' finally came out, he first made a few polite words, expressed his sincere admiration for the expected victory in the battle organized by Volkov, and then wanted to hear Volkov's opinion on the current situation, and Yelena, as an interpreter, also wanted to hear Volkov's thoughts.

Volkov looked at the situation in the command room, sighed, and said, "If I were Japanese, I would choose to mobilize another force and land here at Jinshanwei, so that a large encirclement would be formed, and almost all the main forces of the Chinese army would be encircled and annihilated in a place like Songhu, where the water network is dense and there is no danger to defend." As he spoke, he gently drew several offensive routes on the map with a pen, marking all the possible routes taken by the Japanese army.

'Mr. Wang' was pale at this time, and he understood that because the casualties in the Shanghai area were too great, almost all the troops that could fight were transferred, and even the troops guarding the coastal and riverside guards were all transferred. He thanked him, then went back to his friends to discuss.

The next day, the reserves from Guangxi were transferred to Hangzhou Bay, a total of three regiments, in fact, three divisions, and they also had a lot of heavy weapons. Yelena had people build fortifications after the war, which was also a plus for them, and the other thing was that the masses there were mobilized, and everyone knew that once the Japanese landed, the first thing they would do was to slaughter all the people they met along the way and burn all the villages.

Yelena has taken out all the weapons at this time, and the rest is the weapons that the military factory may produce in the future, with Yelena's help, China can still buy a lot of medicines from the United States, but some weapons cannot be shipped out with great fanfare, and the US government has banned the sale of weapons to China. Fortunately, Soviet aid has already arrived, planes, tanks, artillery, rifles, etc., will be delivered, and China will repay it with materials such as cotton, leather, grain and minerals. And the pilots of the Soviet Union to aid China are also about to arrive. This is something that Yelena would love to see.

At this time, 'Mr. Wang' first asked for advice on the next move, and in addition, he also deliberately approached Yelena, hoping that she could get planes, heavy artillery, heavy machine guns, and anti-aircraft guns in the same way. Yelena nodded in agreement. Volkov also began to ask Yelena how many weapons she still had in her hand.

The war was urgent, and Yelena had no choice but to urgently transfer 100 anti-aircraft guns, 500 anti-aircraft machine guns, 200 155mm artillery pieces and 2,000 heavy machine guns in the mountainous areas of the northwest, and 100 planes trained in the northwest to the vicinity of Shanghai. Volkov took over directly, and deployed a lot of heavy artillery and anti-aircraft machine guns, anti-aircraft machine guns, and heavy machine guns in Jinshanwei and other places, and some of them were deployed near several highways.

Regarding the defense work along the coast, Yelena found some information in the space and designed a very tight anti-landing fire network. And just when Yelena mobilized all the forces to raise all kinds of materials and transport them to the coast, and sent the so-called reserves of other local armies to the coast for defense, and there were 120 armored vehicles responsible for transporting the wounded, which was also centralized command, and the local armies were ready to receive the remnants of their troops nearby, and all the cars they were assigned to in the past were transported here, and they also communicated with each other very carefully, once they retreated, how the cars went, how the troops went, who went first, who covered, It was all determined under Volkov's arrangement.

When the command learned that 80,000 people of the 10th Army secretly formed by the Japanese army had landed at Jinshanwei, but at this time, the chairman was still fantasizing about the intervention of the signatories of the Nine-Power Convention, delaying the time to retreat, and several generals under his command were so anxious that they pulled their hair, and he was still hesitating there, why couldn't he see through it? At this time, the wind of appeasement in Western countries prevailed, and he was destined not to do so.

Once the back road is cut off, then the hundreds of thousands of Chinese troops in Shanghai will face a catastrophe. At this time, the troops in Jinshanwei, Songshan and other places put up very fierce resistance, and after a few days, they did not let the enemy advance and did not realize the encirclement of the Shanghai troops, which was not only the relationship between weapons and ammunition, but also the result of the stubborn and desperate resistance of China's only remaining air force to the enemy, as well as the work of destroying roads, helping to lay mines, transporting ammunition, transporting the wounded, and some volunteers. At this time, the chairman of the committee was not unworried, he sent a corps to reinforce, and then finally ordered a retreat after his subordinates were all worn out. This would have been a good thing, and arguably the best decision that could have been made at this time.

However, even if they resist desperately, they can only stop for a while. The Japanese encirclement network was about to be formed, the Chinese army on the front line was in chaos, and the best time to retreat had been delayed, and some troops had already organized their own retreat to avoid being encircled. However, after giving the order to retreat, the chairman repented and asked all the troops to hold out for a few more days, and Yelena was going to pull her hair at this time. Volkov lost his temper, but Yelena and Sokolov and others forcibly pulled him away, at this time the angry Volkov, Yelena was also very scared, Yantyuk also comforted Yelena, saying that Volkov was already very restrained, otherwise, he would have taken the gun a long time ago. The number of officers under his command who were dismissed from their posts was innumerable, and more than 20 officers who were brought before military tribunals and sentenced to death. He was in the Soviet army, but he was very deterrent. Yelena absolutely believes this.

Under the condition that there is no sea and air supremacy, the surrender of more than 700,000 troops to such a peninsula with a narrow area, dense water networks, and swamps can only be passively beaten, and there is no room for maneuver, which is precisely in line with the strategic plan of Japanese militarism to achieve a quick victory and gather together to annihilate it. The Songhu battlefield was flat and undefendable, and it was not easy to construct ground fortifications, which increased the difficulty of defensive operations. Under these conditions, China's hundreds of thousands of troops did not make a deep echelon deployment or carry out campaign maneuvers, and in addition, the front-line troops were too close to the coast and river banks, and were attacked by Japanese ships and artillery for a long time, which increased the casualties in vain. After 23 August, China's various units were tightly bitten by the Japanese army and could not get out, often fighting bloody battles for the gains and losses of one city and one place, and their own subjective initiative was greatly restricted, and they were powerless to change the situation on the battlefield. The only active attack was also lost due to poor organization and command, and there was no turnaround after that.

However, during the entire battle, the chairman of the NPC committee adopted the tactic of adding fuel one after another, and there was only a counterattack in the campaign and no strategic attack, and the battle was mostly carried out in the form of a short surprise attack; with such a rigid strategic and tactical guidance, how could the Chinese army not be passive everywhere and be controlled by others everywhere? And how can an army that has lost the initiative in passive defense not fail? After all, some of the initiatives taken by the Chinese armed forces in campaigns and battles could not make up for the passivity of the chairman in strategic guidance, and this would inevitably lead to defeat. As the saying goes, one general has no plan, and thousands of troops are tired! Political strategy affects strategy, strategy affects tactics, and political strategy is wrong, and this battle is even more completely wrong.

During the three-month battle of Songhu, a small number of troops or staff supervisors were not sent to seriously and practically inspect the defense fortifications in the Yangtze River Delta, to organize and prepare the necessary before the battle, and to plan the overall defense. As a result, after the Chinese army retreated from the Shanghai area to the defensive line, it found that it could not smoothly enter the position to meet the battle, and there was no support and response, and the troops could not use these defense lines to fight at all. Shanghai was lost, Nanjing was devastated, and the door of the country was opened.
