Half an hour later, a telegram from Jun Nakamura arrived at the headquarters of the Twelfth Army in Nanjing. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The telegram said that Jiangwan Town was attacked by a patrol camp last night, and the patrol camp adopted an attack strategy of attacking from the east to the west, first attacking the periphery of Jiangwan Town with the main force to attract the attention of the defenders, and then sending a small group of elite troops to carry out a sabotage attack on Jiangwan Airport.

After the surprise attack on the airport, the garrison immediately appealed to the Nakamura authorities for help.

After receiving the distress call, Nakamura Toshiki led the gendarmerie to rush to help.

After Nakamura Jun led the gendarmerie to leave the Nakamura office, another elite small unit of the patrol camp attacked the Nakamura office again, and at this time the Broadway Building and No. 76 were on the periphery, and the gendarmerie team of the Nakamura agency was transferred to the airport, and there were only a few staff left in the Nakamura office.

As a result, the Nakamura office was destroyed by the patrol camp, and the left-behind people were collectively shattered, and a large number of materials were destroyed, and Inushiro, who happened to be interrogating the prisoner in the dungeon at that time, was also shattered on the spot.

However, the good news was that at the height of the fighting, the first batch of six transport planes landed at Jiangwan Airport, and an infantry squadron that came down from the transport planes quickly entered the battle.

"Your Excellency Dazuo, do you want to transfer people to Jiangwan again?" The adjutant asked.

"No, forget it." Aoki Shigesei shook his head and said helplessly, "There's no time." ”

There is really no time, because the 20th Division has already boarded a transport ship from Incheon Port and is rushing to Shanghai, and according to the normal speed, it will be able to reach the sea off Wusong before noon tomorrow, so Aoki Shigecheng has to go to Suzhou, Kunshan, and Taicang to make preparations.

The 20th Division only came with men and weapons and ammunition, and the rest of the military supplies had to be provided by the garrison troops.

The 20th Division is a full-fledged division, with more than 25,000 troops, and it is not a small amount to eat and chew every day, and all the materials before Shanghai were stored in the urban area, and after the loss of the urban area, these materials were either destroyed or fell into the hands of the patrol camp, so Aoki Shigecheng had to seize the time to raise and transport.

This is an extremely heavy workload, so Shigemato Aoki really doesn't bother to investigate the Broadway building.

Moreover, Shigesei Aoki is a typical infantryist, the 20th Division's more than 25,000 troops will soon arrive in Shanghai, and in a few days, the 7th Division will also arrive in Shanghai immediately, in the face of such a huge heavy army group, even if Liang Wuyi's Broadway building has problems, what can it do?

In the face of an army of more than 50,000, what can a few hundred people in the Broadway building do?

It's a big deal to catch it when the time comes, or just find an excuse to kill it!

Shigesei Aoki really doesn't have the time or energy to care about these small things.

At that moment, Aoki Shigesei instructed the adjutant again: "Onijima-kun, prepare the car immediately, let's go to Suzhou first!" ”

"Hello!" The adjutant of Onishima slammed his head, hurriedly walked out of the headquarters, and prepared the car.

(Dividing Line)

When Aoki Shigesei hurried to Suzhou, Xu Rui also summoned the chief officer of the Songhu Military Division for a meeting.

Taking advantage of the fact that Jiangwan was making a pot of porridge, Xu Rui quietly slipped back to the Broadway Building with sweet potatoes, anyway, at this time, the whole Jiangwan was in a mess, as long as Nakamura Jun didn't look for him, no one would find out that Liang Wuyi was not on the battlefield, as for Nakamura Jun, he would never look for him at this time.

As soon as he returned to the Broadway Building, Xu Rui immediately convened a meeting of the high-level military divisions.

At this time, Leng Tiefeng had not come back from going out, and in addition to himself, there were also Xie Yuan, Yang Rui, Wang Husheng, Jiang Nan and Liu Mei, who were also the core leadership of the Songhu Military Division, the commander, the political commissar, the two deputy commanders, the director of the Political Department and the deputy director of the Political Department.

"I'd like to have good news for you." Xu Rui said, "The little devil's 20th Division has already boarded the ship from Incheon Port, and it will be able to reach the sea off Wusong at noon tomorrow at the latest, that is to say, tomorrow afternoon, the vanguard of the 20th Division of the little devil will very likely appear in Jiangwan." ”

Xie Yuan and Yang Rui's hearts sank when they heard this.

The devil's revenge came too quickly, right?

Wang Husheng said angrily: "Lao Xu, what kind of fucking good news is this?" ”

"How is this not good news?" Xu Rui smiled, "The little devil is here to bring us meat dishes again." ”

"Meat dishes?" Xie Yuan said, "What the commander said is a little too complacent, this is a permanent division in the true sense!" It's not the same thing as the Ninth Division. ”

Next to him, Yang Rui, Liu Mei and Jiang Nan also nodded approvingly.

The 20th Division is indeed not the same thing as the 9th Division, which had just been annihilated by them, and the 9th Division had suffered heavy losses twice in the Central China battlefield, and until it was annihilated, the soldiers had not been replenished, and the technical equipment was even worse, and as for the combat effectiveness, it was not even as good as a mixed brigade.

If it weren't for that, the patrol camp wouldn't have won so easily!

However, the 20 th Division did not suffer heavy losses on the Chinese battlefield, not only did it retain a large number of veterans with combat experience, and its technical equipment was even more unscathed, but it also inflicted heavy losses on the Central Army and the Jinsui Army in the North China Battlefield, and it had a strong psychological advantage over the Chinese army, and this was undoubtedly an extremely difficult opponent.

"What about the permanent divisions?" Xu Rui said suddenly, "Isn't the 10th Division a permanent division?" Isn't the 6th Division a permanent division? In the end, they were not destroyed by us? After a slight pause, Xu Rui continued, "What's more, it's better to only come to the Twentieth Division than the Twentieth Division and the Seventh Division together, right?" ”

"I'm afraid it doesn't make much difference." Yang Rui shook his head and said, "The left and right are all indented into the urban area to fight street battles. ”

"Lao Yang, you are wrong, this difference is big." Xu Rui shook his head, but thought in his heart that compared with the commanders of the Dameishan Division, commanders from the National Army such as Xie Yuan and Yang Rui were much more pessimistic, because the fiasco of the Battle of Songhu left them with too deep an impression.

Therefore, they will always unconsciously overestimate the devil and underestimate themselves.

In contrast, the commanders of the Dameishan Military Sub-district are much more confident, and young officers like Tie Gang, He Shuya, Huang Shouxin, and Mei Jiuling, who are equal to the strength of the devils, dare to think of fighting a rout, and the strength of the devils is twice as large, so they dare to swallow the devils in one bite, which is simply unimaginable in the eyes of the officers from the national army.

In short, in the final analysis, Xie Yuan and Yang Rui still have fewer victories, and when they win more battles, they will slowly change their original concepts and become as confident as He Shuya!

But now, Xu Rui must give them confidence.

Xu Rui said: "With the existing strength of our Songhu Army Division, if the little devil transfers two divisions at a time, then we really have no choice at all, so we can only honestly retreat into the urban area and start street battles with the devils, hoping to drag down the devils little by little through brutal street battles, and then find an opportunity to counterattack." ”

Yang Rui said: "The little devil only comes to one division, isn't that the case? ”

Xie Yuan also said: "Can we still eat the 20th Division again?" ”

"Why not?" Xu Rui said coldly, "Why can't you eat the Twentieth Division?" ”

"What?" Xie Yuan was dumbfounded and said, "Commander, do you really want to eat the Twentieth Division?" ”

Yang Rui also lost his voice and said: "Eat the 20th Division before the 7th Division arrives?" Commander, how dare you think! ”

"Why don't I dare think about it?" Xu Rui said hesitantly, "Only if you dare to think will you dare to do, and only if you dare to do it can you have a chance to win!" If we can't even think about it, what else can we do? ”

Xie Yuan frowned and said, "But there are some things that you don't just think about. ”

"I can't tell here, let's go to the war room." After Xu Rui finished speaking, he turned around and left.

After entering the war room, Xu Rui pointed to the map and said to everyone: "According to the intelligence, the 20th Division of the little devil will land on the beach from the Lion Forest, and then advance south to Jiangwan along the route of the 11th Division at the time of the Battle of Songhu, and finally use Jiangwan as a strategic fulcrum to gradually encroach on Zhabei, Hongkou, and Yangshu until the concession. ”

Wang Husheng said: "It is not difficult to understand why the devils want to defend Jiangwan, because if you hold Jiangwan, from the lion forest landing to Jiangwan, you can have a smooth road, but if Jiangwan is lost, then Baoshan and Jiading will also be lost, so that after the 20th Division lands, it will have to go back to the old road of the 11th Division." ”

Xie Yuan said: "The reason why the Japanese base camp temporarily changed its deployment and urgently transferred the 20th Division to Shanghai is probably for this reason, because if the 7th Division had arrived in Shanghai together, Jiangwan would have been lost long ago, and at that time, the Japanese army could only push south from the Lion Forest little by little. ”

In the Battle of Songhu, the 11th Division of the Japanese Army advanced south from the Lion Forest, which was really blood and tears step by step.

The bloody battle of Luodian, the bloody battle, the advance path of the 11th Division of the Japanese Army was almost paved with corpses.

Xu Rui sneered: "The Lion Forest, Luodian and Dachang, the memories left for the devils will definitely not be so good, so the Japanese army base camp would rather risk being broken by each one to protect Jiangwan." ”

Xie Yuan said: "The problem is that we don't have the ability to break each one. ”

Xu Rui said: "You are wrong, we really have the ability to break each other!" ”

Xie Yuan said: "Commander, I want to ask, how do you break the method?" ”

Xu Rui said: "The empty vernacular is not convincing, let's have a war game deduction, Lao Xie and Lao Yang, the two of you can be wronged and make a cameo appearance in the 20th Division." ”

"No problem." Xie Yuan and Yang Rui readily agreed.
