But seriously, Xu Rui really didn't want to fool Chairman Jiang. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Xu Rui is really fooling Hideki Tojo and fishing for Tojo's big fish!

In order to fool Tojo Hideki as much as possible, Xu Rui transferred six of the eight main battalions of the Songhu Military Division to the front line of Jiangwan Town, and then surrounded the entire Jiangwan Town, and immediately launched a fierce attack.

The fierce battle lasted until dawn, and the periphery of Jiangwan Town was unexpectedly lost.

The gendarmerie of the Nakamura Agency, the remnants of No. 76 and the remnants of the Broadway building were forced to retreat to the airport, and the military airfield in Jiangwan Town was converted from a racecourse, which has a unique structure, similar to the large stadium of later generations, surrounded by reinforced concrete stands, which can be used as ready-made fortifications.

After the little devil converted the hippodrome in Jiangwan into a military airport, he only demolished part of the grandstand in the west, and the grandstand in the other three directions was retained, so it could be used as a complete fortification.

Of course, it must be noted that the Songhu Military Division did not attack with all its might!

If the Songhu Military Division really goes out to attack with all his might, the little devil will not be able to defend it no matter what, but Xu Rui obviously can't do this, he also pointed to using Jiangwan Airport as a bait to catch Tojo Hideki, whether this time you can swallow the twentieth division of the little devil in one bite, it all depends on the old devil Tojo Hideki.

Xu Rui didn't think about taking Jiangwan Airport in one go, but he always maintained pressure on the devil defenders, in order to force the defenders to transfer this pressure to the devil's 12th Army, and finally to Tojo Hide's fuselage, Nakamura naturally did not disappoint Xu Rui, and almost every half an hour a telegram for help, repeatedly reported to the 12th Army headquarters.

Kawagishi Bunzaburo, who had just arrived, naturally would not be as shameless as Nakamura Jun, but he also sent several emergency telegrams to Tojo Hideki overnight, bluntly saying that Jiangwan Airport was already in danger, and Kawagishi Bunzaburo was also taking a vaccination, and if Jiangwan Airport was lost, the Japanese army base camp would not be able to hit him.

The situation is so tense, and Hideki Tojo is also very worried at the moment.

Through the dismissal of Seishiro Itagaki, Hideki Tojo has established a very high prestige in the army system, no matter what, Seishiro Itagaki is still very prestigious in the army system, but now Hideki Tojo has stepped on Seishiro Itagaki under his feet, it is no exaggeration to say that now Hideki Tojo is the de facto Minister of War!

It's Ishihara Waner, who has always looked down on Hideki Tojo, but at this time, he has to weigh the consequences of offending Hideki Tojo.

However, everything is good and there must be disadvantages, and it is certainly happy to overturn the courage of Itagaki Seishiro, the army, but in this way, Hideki Tojo has also pushed himself to the cusp of the storm, and now whether it is the base camp of the Japanese army, or the front line, or even the Japanese royal family, I don't know how many pairs of eyes are staring at him, just waiting to see his jokes.

In the next second Battle of Songhu, if the Twelfth Army wins, Tojo Hideki will certainly win a lot, and those who believe in Itagaki Seishiro and doubt him will obediently shut their mouths, but if this battle is lost, then Tojo Hideki will be in trouble, not only will the deputy commander of the army not be able to do it, maybe he may be ordered to retire from active duty!

Because the first Battle of Songhu was not fought well, wasn't Matsui Ishine ordered to retire from active service?

Therefore, the pressure on Tojo Hideki is very great now, especially when he heard some gossip, saying that after Itagaki Seishiro was dismissed, he once broke down with Chief of Staff Shigesei Aoki, saying that Tojo Hideki was not Xu Rui's opponent, and this time the 20th Division was transferred to Shanghai alone, and it would definitely end in a fiasco!

In fact, this was not said by Seishiro Itagaki himself, but by someone else, but Hideki Tojo believed it, so Hideki Tojo held his breath in his heart.

This makes Hideki Tojo even more irrelevant!

Now, Hideki Tojo can only go all the way to the dark!

In any case, the second battle of Songhu must be won!

Putting down the telegram, Hideki Tojo turned his head and said to the adjutant: "Call the headquarters of the 12th Army immediately and tell Kawagishi-kun that no matter what, you must keep the strategic fulcrum of Jiangwan!" I don't care what method he uses, and no matter what the price is, in short, Jiangwan Airport must be defended, and let the 20th Division immediately grab the beach from the Lion Forest! ”

The adjutant said: "Your Excellency, the number of rubber boats prepared by the Navy is insufficient......"

"If you don't have a kayak, won't you grab the beach and not land?" Hideki Tojo immediately interrupted the adjutant brutally, and said, "The 20th Division of the telegram is ordered to forcibly seize the beach immediately, it is already May, the sea water is no longer cold, and people can't freeze to death, time, what we lack most now is time, understand?" ”

"Hay, I understand!"

The adjutant could only pause.

Hideki Tojo's order was given quickly.

At this time, dozens of merchant ships, transport ships, and warships of the Japanese Navy had already arrived at the river near the Lion Forest, but at this time, because it was the early morning low tide, a large area of tidal flats was exposed along the river, and the landing craft could not be used, so they could only land in small rubber boats, and the number of kayaks was not much, so the efficiency was very low.

According to the estimation of the chief of staff of the 20th Division, Ginnosuke Uchida, at such a landing speed, it will be at least until the evening to transport the two infantry wings ashore, and only the personnel will be transported ashore, not including technical equipment! Thankfully, however, when the tide rises in the evening, the landing craft will come in handy, and the landing efficiency will increase.

But Hideki Tojo couldn't wait for the evening, and the defenders of Jiangwan couldn't wait for the evening.

Hideki Tojo's order soon came, and then, more than 20,000 devil soldiers who were resting in the cabin poured into the decks of merchant ships, transport ships, and warships, and then the rope ladder was lowered from the side side facing the riverbank, and then the heavily armed devil soldiers descended the rope ladder down the rope ladder into the icy sea like dumplings.

The military discipline of the little devil is really not boasting, and when he gives an order, he really dares to jump into the sea!

Of course, the little devil is not stupid to jump into the sea, or prepared, the little devil with good water nature, choose to swim directly, can not swim or the water is not good, most of them will tie a few empty kettles on their bodies, with the buoyancy of the empty kettle, they can also go ashore safely, fortunately, the mooring point of the boat is not far from the river.

After swimming more than 100 meters in the icy river water, my feet stepped on the tidal flats by the river.

However, the next journey was not easy, because it was not easy to cross the knee-deep tidal flats, and it only took three or five minutes for the little devil to swim across the river of more than 100 meters, but it took nearly half an hour to cross the tidal flats by the river, but even so, the first infantry brigade of the 20th Division went ashore two hours earlier than expected.

After going ashore, the infantry brigade of the 20th Division immediately launched an attack formation and rushed straight to the Liuhe River!

At this time, Liuhe Town and Taicang County in the west were still under the control of Little Japan, but Baoshan County and Jiading County in the south had all been lost.

After entering Liuhe Town, the advance brigade of the 20th Division did not advance again, but stopped on the spot, preparing to wait for the arrival of the follow-up large troops, and then marched forward.

At the same time, a large net against the 20th Division of the Japanese Army was slowly being opened.

In accordance with Li Xiaoxia's request, Bi Xiancheng had already mobilized all the officers and men of the artillery battalion and bought all the stocks of dozens of foreign companies engaged in the sale of chemical fertilizers in the Shanghai Concession; due to the war, a large number of peasants around Shanghai fled, and as a result, the chemical fertilizers of various foreign banks in Shanghai were seriously unsalable, so the artillery battalion only spent less than a quarter of the usual money to buy almost all the chemical fertilizers in Shanghai, and the chemical fertilizers at this time were mainly ammonium nitrate.

Li Xiaoxia doesn't even need to deal with it at all, just sprinkle these nitric acids on the ground, it can become a powerful accelerant, even if there is no need for explosives, just the dozens of tons of ammonium nitrate fertilizer bought by the artillery camp are enough to burn the entire Jiangwan Town into a sea of fire, in the final analysis, most of the buildings in Jiangwan Town are wooden shacks.

However, Li Xiaoxia still strictly followed Wang Husheng's orders and carefully designed the deflagration plan in Jiangwan Town, including the concealment and burial of each section of explosives, the laying of each lead, and the pouring of each kilogram of ammonium nitrate, all of which had to be calculated repeatedly to ensure that there were no mistakes, and that as long as a button was pressed, the entire Jiangwan would be turned into a sea of fire!

Fortunately, at this time, the entire Jiangwan Town had completely fallen under the control of the Songhu Military Division, so Li Xiaoxia could take the officers and soldiers of the artillery battalion to calmly calculate and arrange calmly, anyway, Li Xiaoxia had already estimated that by the evening, all the explosives and all the ammonium nitrate could be arranged in place.

At this time, Li Xiaoxia was busy with the officers and soldiers of the artillery battalion.

"Hey, you guys, bury these packets of fertilizer here!"

"Damn, put out the fire, who made you smoke, you want to die!"

"This thing is just a little bit, it can burn you to the bone!"

"Yes, put the fertilizer here, and cover it with a layer of dust, thick enough, so that because of the lack of oxygen, even if it is hit by a bullet, it will not burn, but when the explosives buried in it are detonated, the fertilizer will be blown away, and it will be exposed to the air, and then it only takes a little spark to burn."

"Hey, why am I telling you this, you don't understand."

"You guys, bury the lead deeper, don't let it blow up!"

"You have to lay double lines, so that one is blown up, and there can be a second!"

Under Li Xiaoxia's scheduling and weaving, a large net is slowly taking shape.
