Chapter 1154: The attack is thwarted

"It's really nonsense, it's about to enter July, and the bureau headquarters at this time actually asked me to place 300 members of the training class in the police academy, which is clearly embarrassing me! The leader opens his mouth, his subordinates break their legs, and it will cost me a lot of energy just to check my identity! Chen Mingxiang complained.

If the bureau headquarters wants to insert people into the second batch of students, it is not impossible, act early, lay out in advance, and forge identity information for this group of people, everyone will be very relaxed.

Now, in a month's time, the identity of 300 people is covered up seamlessly, this is simply a problem for yourself, do you really think you are covering the sky with one hand?

"If you want to blame this matter, you will be blamed, such a big action did not greet Boss Dai in advance, you take the initiative, the bureau headquarters wants to cooperate with you, and things are not as they are now."

"Fortunately, you are the one to assign people for this investigation, and there are forty-five people from our direct station who have arrived at the police station, and the audit work can be done for them, just pretend, who still has the heart to keep an eye on the cadets of the police academy, is it the Military Command Bureau or the underground party?" Wang Zhen said with a smile.

This time, the police department made arrangements for the graduates, affirming that the Shanghai market performed the best, and the real power figures Lu Ying, Pan Da and Xia Zhongming, who dared to come forward and talk crookedly with him, it is not this way to find excitement.

Moreover, the real power of the police station was in the hands of the Japanese, and there were people in the first and second police stations of the Gendarmerie Corps, the Mei organ, and the special service of the Japanese Army Ministry in Shanghai.

"What you said is simple, the situation is not so bad that the Japanese have not reduced their control over the police department, I am not worried about the review of the police department, I am worried about the investigation of the trainees by the special high school and the secret service."

"It's only like this first, the second batch will be led by Pan to do the review, he is now busy making money all day long, and he can mix things up, it is estimated that it will be over after going through the motions, but we have to tell the bureau headquarters that the situation of these people must be dealt with within half a year at the earliest."

"I wondered, Chief Xue of the Ninth War Zone, has repelled the attacks of the Japanese army many times, and Tanzhou is also known as a military town that will never fall, but this time, it was broken in just a few days, I really can't figure it out." Chen Mingxiang said.

General Xue Yue, the commander of the Ninth Theater of Operations, is definitely a great expert in the use of troops in the Shancheng government, and he has created a new method of warfare, which has slightly caused heavy casualties to the Japanese army, Chen Mingxiang has always been very confident in him, although he also expected that Tanzhou would be occupied, but in his impression, Tanzhou would become a tug of war, and it would take a month or two months, but he didn't expect that the facts poured cold water on him.

How did he know that the battle of Tanzhou in the Ninth War Zone was really due to tactical reasons, and the front-line commander of the Japanese army, Isamu Yokoyama, was also a general who was quite good at fighting.

Xue Yue's new tactics were to arrange the troops in the combat zone as a network-like stronghold, use ambushes, decoy attacks, flank attacks, tail attacks, and other methods to deplete the enemy's strength and morale in stages, and finally, drag the exhausted enemy troops to the decisive battle area, and then carry out encirclement and annihilation operations.

But Yokoyama Yong divided the attacking Japanese troops into two parts, one was dedicated to storming Tanzhou, forcing Xue Yue's main force to come to the rescue, and the other was to intercept the reinforcements, this is a pincer offensive, if you come in, you will be encircled, if you don't come in, Tanzhou will have to be conquered.

In such a response, the troops of the Ninth Theater did not dare to venture into the pockets of the Japanese army, resulting in Tanzhou being conquered by the Japanese army.

"The 11th Army's attack on Hengzhou was very slow, encountered great obstacles, the siege battle lasted for four days, but did not achieve any results, the division commander and chief of staff of the 68th Division were subjected to the enemy's artillery fire, resulting in serious injuries, had to withdraw from the front line, and was sent to Jinling for treatment."

"In view of the high morale of the enemy, the heavy casualties of the attacking imperial troops, and the lack of ammunition, the headquarters of the 11th Army decided to temporarily suspend the attack on Hengzhou and wait until the above problems are resolved, and then launch a second attack, which will take about a week or even ten days of buffer period." Yoshitaro Kawamoto said.

On the 28th of June, the front-line command post of the 11th Army of the Japanese Army issued an order for the 68th Division and the 116th Division to jointly launch an attack on Hengzhou.

The unit guarding Hengzhou in the Ninth Theater this time is the famous 10th Army under the 27th Group Army, which belongs to the descendant troops, and is an absolute descendant unit, the first is the Third Division during the Central Plains War, and many of the general-level officers are from Huangpu.

The 10th Army is under the jurisdiction of the 3rd Infantry Division, the 190th Infantry Division, the 10th Reserve Infantry Division and the 54th Infantry Division, and the commander is Lieutenant General Fang Xianjue.

At 10:30 a.m. on the same day, the 190th Infantry Division in the south of the city concentrated its fire and shelled the discovered temporary command post of the Japanese army, which was also caused by the side's carelessness and the close proximity of the forward command post.

As a result, Lieutenant General Sakuma, commander of the 68th Division of the Japanese Army, who was commanding operations on the forward heights, was seriously wounded by the bombing, along with the division's chief of staff Harada Sadazaburo Osa, and staff officer Satoru Matsuura, and others.

In view of this situation, the front commander of the 11th Army ordered Lieutenant General Yan Yongwang, the commander of the 116th Division, to temporarily command the two divisions to attack Hengzhou.

The 10th Army of the 27th Group Army of the Yamashiro Government was mostly veterans who had participated in actual battles, had a stable psychological quality and rich experience, did not panic at all in the face of the Japanese army's crazy attack, used fortifications to fight offensive and defensive battles with the Japanese army, and also used a large number of grenades.

On the night of 1 July, a combat hero of the Yamashiro government army entered the fortifications under the joint command of the 133rd Wing of the 116th Division, the 1st Infantry Brigade, and the 2nd Infantry Brigade, and used a grenade to kill the first captain of the 1st Infantry Brigade of this wing, Osaogon Sukagon, and wound the 2nd Brigade Captain Hatsuo Adachi.

Seeing that there was no breakthrough in the attacking troops, and that there was a serious shortage of ammunition and supplies, and that the casualties were also very large, Lieutenant General Isamu Yokoyama had to give the order to temporarily end the attack and wait for reinforcements to come before launching a second attack.

"How can this happen? I don't know much about the 68th Division, but the 116th Division, which is a first-class division of the Imperial Army, has a very strong combat effectiveness, and it is really regrettable that such a situation has occurred. Chen Mingxiang said.
