After a day of preparation, the 87th and 88th Divisions had already stationed in Hongkou and Yangpu in the Japanese concession, and focused on the defense of the Tiantongan Japanese Navy Headquarters and the Gongda Yarn Factory.

At this moment, the support of the Japanese army was still sailing at sea and had not reached Shanghai for the time being.

On the morning of 12 August, the chairman of the CPPCC National Committee ordered Zhang Junchang, the person in charge of Shanghai, to launch a general attack on the Japanese army in the evening, and the generals of the 87th and 88th Divisions soon received the order.

However, Zheng Long knew that this attack had never happened in history, because in the afternoon, the Japanese army would convene a five-nation pact to condemn and restrain the Chinese side in response to the 128 armistice agreement, while Britain, France, and the United States were worried that their interests would be affected by the war, so they seconded Japan, like the Chinese side, to make Shanghai an undefended city, and demanded that the Chinese side withdraw all troops stationed in Shanghai.

Although the mayor of Shanghai and various high-ranking generals vigorously opposed and did not agree to the demands of various countries, and the troops were not withdrawn, the chairman of the committee still ordered the suspension of the offensive for the purpose of seeking international assistance and sympathy, thus missing the best time for the offensive, and the Japanese army took the initiative to launch an offensive on 13 August, preemptively occupying the patriotic girls' school and other places, and establishing a tight defensive line, thus increasing the difficulty of the Chinese attack.

This move directly affected the follow-up strategic deployment, so that the Japanese army held out until the arrival of reinforcements and forcibly pulled back the disadvantage.

Zheng Long has a deep understanding of this history, and he wants to try his best to prevent this history from happening, but he can't get in touch with the most senior leaders, so he can only persuade Yao Glacier first and let Yao Glacier go to his superiors to react.

At around 3 p.m. on 12 August, the five-nation convention meeting of China, Japan, Britain, France, and the United States officially began, and heated discussions on the Shanghai issue began.

At the same time, Zheng Long found Yao Glacier and started a discussion.

In the office, Yao Bingbing and several senior generals of the 87th Division sat in the office, the room was filled with smoke, and everyone looked serious around a map, arranging the offensive road map.

The Japanese concession is surrounded by the Gongda Yarn Factory, the Tiantongan Headquarters, and the Huishan Wharf, and the area is very large, and the three points are about 20 minutes away from each other by car, and they look at each other and help each other.

The two places of Gongda Yarn Factory and the Japanese Navy Headquarters belong to the high-rise area, there is a defensive line cultivated by the Japanese army, the terrain is complicated, and the Japanese army occupies the high ground, so it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, especially in the case of insufficient heavy firepower on the Chinese side, it is even more difficult to break through.

The senior generals mainly discussed the Gongda yarn mill at the front, because the Japanese Navy Command was in charge of the 88th Division.

After a long period of discussion, they came to the conclusion that unless they were taken by surprise and fought quickly, they could break through the Japanese defense line with minimal casualties, and once the Japanese army was given time to react, the Japanese army would take advantage of the terrain and high ground to defend desperately, I am afraid it would not be easy to break through.

After settling on the core idea, Yao Bingbing also made a preparation, that is, to form a death squad, and dare to break through the Japanese defense line without fear of death at a critical moment.

After a series of details were done, everyone exhaled deeply, their eyes were full of battle intent, this was the first time that their German mechanic took the initiative to attack, and they must fight a beautiful battle.

If this battle is successfully fought, not only can you raise your eyebrows, but the reputation of the entire Central Army will also soar, which is too important for other troops and the people of the whole country.

At this moment, China urgently needs a devastated battle to shatter the myth of the invincibility of the Japanese army, so as to inspire the people of China, especially the ordinary people, to give a little hope.

When everyone was excited, Zheng Long knocked on the door and walked in, Yao Bing immediately stepped forward and introduced, "This is the sharp knife figure Zheng Long Zheng Battalion Commander under Lao Wei of the 219th Regiment, who once single-handedly assassinated the Japanese Major General Yamamoto Yilang, and then led the team to kill Inoue Gangji, who was deeply valued by Lao Wei, and was a proper strength general. ”

Yao Bingbing touted, and the people present also admired it when they heard it, and they applauded when they raised their hands.

The strong are respected wherever they go.

After Zheng Long and the others applauded, they hurriedly saluted, stepped forward to talk to everyone, and there was no pride in his words, but he was full of modesty, and he also praised everyone.

Being able to speak is an art and a deep knowledge.

The soldier's personality is already neat, after a conversation, the relationship between Zheng Long and everyone has become a lot closer, and he has begun to call him a brother, Yao Bingbing is relieved, after all, they have to work together during this time, if there is no barrier between each other, then it is naturally beautiful.

After the greetings, everyone naturally continued to discuss tonight's deployment, looking for loopholes, Zheng Long also joined the discussion, all the people sitting here were general-level people, who naturally understood the art of war, intentionally or unintentionally asked Zheng Long's opinion, to test Zheng Long's true ability, Zheng Long naturally had to answer all questions, and explained in simple terms, which attracted the admiration of everyone.

"Zheng Ying, in your opinion, where should the Japanese concession be attacked first?" Yao Bing frowned and asked, "The three places of the Japanese army, Tiantongan, Huishan Wharf, and Gongda Yarn Factory watch each other, and they are easy to defend and difficult to attack, which is a big problem." ”

Zheng Long had already thought about this question countless times, and immediately replied when he heard the voice, "The Japanese Tiantongan Headquarters and the Gongda Yarn Factory are at the front, and the Huishan Wharf is close to the sea at the end, if we attack, the Huishan Wharf can support at any time, which is really not easy to fight." ”

"I suggest that while we attack at night, let the navy dispatch to attack the Japanese warships behind the Huishan Wharf, so as to attract a part of the forces of the Huishan Wharf, secondly, we will divide into two parts, one part is aimed at the Gongda Yarn Factory and the Japanese Navy Headquarters, and the other part of the troops are all put into the battlefield, quickly clear the forces on the periphery of the Japanese army, and strive to achieve total annihilation, and finally, in the onslaught against the Tiantongan Headquarters, the Gongda Yarn Factory, and the Huishan Wharf."

Zheng Long pointed to the map and said his thoughts, his spirit was flying, full of energy, and his confidence was extraordinary.

After listening to Zheng Long's words, everyone pondered for a moment and immediately realized.

The navy dispatched to contain the forces of Huishan Wharf, and the troops were divided into two routes, one for the two slow points of the Japanese army, encircling but not fighting, and all the way for the Japanese army in the Japanese concession area to carry out a sweep, encircling but not fighting made the Japanese army very uncomfortable, if you want to send troops, it means that you have given up the favorable geographical advantage, turn defense into attack, if you do not attack, it means that all the Japanese troops in the Japanese concession have no support, and they are fighting alone.

Wonderful! It's wonderful!

When everyone was excited, Zheng Long broke this atmosphere with a sentence, and he proposed a situation that everyone thought was impossible: "If the higher authorities order to cancel the attack tonight, what should you do?"

Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and they shook their heads one after another! How could this happen?

But it's the kind of situation that doesn't happen, but it happens.

At six o'clock in the afternoon, the five-nation pact ended, the order was given, and the plan for the evening attack was canceled!
