readx; The battle lasted until 2 February, when the situation was unfavorable. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Fearing the defeat or even annihilation of the First Fleet sent to Shanghai, the Japanese army dispatched two additional aircraft carriers, 12 warships of various types, and 7,000 marines from China to Shanghai to reinforce the First Fleet, which was unfavorable in the war. (However, the army believes that this will only make the Chinese/army turtles more successful, but under the strong decision of the military top brass headed by Prince Tokumasa, they still send the troops that should be sent as mentioned above.) ）

On this side, the Japanese army was in full swing to dispatch troops to send troops to reinforce the First Fleet, which was not in good shape for the war; On the other hand, the 19th Route Army learned of the news of the Japanese increase in troops through various channels, and after summarizing the information from all sides, it was found that the Japanese were determined to expand the war in Shanghai, and Jiang Guangnai, who was the commander-in-chief of the 19th Route Army, after careful consideration, had already changed the guns and guns to watch his brothers fight well, and the 60th and 61st Divisions under his command who had nothing to do participated in the battle one after another.

In this context, Zhao Heng, accompanied by Cai Tingkai and Chen Jingtang, met with Jiang Guangnai, commander-in-chief of the 19th Route Army, at a secret location in the military headquarters of the 19th Route Army.

Zhao Heng said straight to the point: "Today's Japanese arrogance is extremely arrogant, not only does it not quit the truce but intensifies, and its heart is already known to passers-by. Japanese people have been arrogant for a long time... After the First Sino-Japanese Naval Battle, which took the initiative to launch a sneak attack, and then there was the 918 Naval Battle, which was just around the corner, all of them launched a sudden war under a clumsy pretext to swallow up China's territory, and now they are vainly trying to turn Shanghai into another 918, and all these signs have already told us that the Japanese are trying to cover up their conspiracy to occupy the three northeastern provinces of our country and to divert the attention of the whole world at home and abroad, and at the same time want to occupy and take Shanghai without much effort. ”

Jiang Guangnai fell into deep thought for a while before replying: "What Mr. Zhao said is reasonable. The shame of the First Sino-Japanese War has not been forgotten, and the hatred of 918 has been added to the new situation, and in the current situation, even if all the officers and men of the 19th Route Army are exhausted, the attempt to let the Japanese occupy Shanghai as a fulcrum of aggression against China succeeds!! Zhang Shaoshuai is incompetent, let the entire Northeast Army give up, the rich and beautiful three eastern provinces have become China's sinners for the ages, today our 19th Route Army will never leave Shanghai even if it is a heroic martyr!! ”

Jiang Guangnai said again: "Today, with the help of Mr. Zhao's powerful arms and personnel and equipment, the strength of our 19th Route Army can be said to have increased greatly. ”

After listening to Jiang Guangnai's generous statement and firm words, Zhao Jianjie said with a smile at the end of his applause: "If the Central Army, which was originally on the sidelines, sends troops to reinforce the 19th Route Army when the war is smoothly biased in favor of China, then what should Commander-in-Chief Jiang do?" Zhao Heng's words were not to provoke the relationship between the Nineteenth Route Army and the Beiyang government in Nanjing, but to remind them how to get along with that old enemy when the time came.

Jiang Guangnai said disapprovingly: "Since they are all Chinese, how can they divide each other, if we really come to support, we are very welcome to fight side by side with our brother troops and work together to eliminate the invading Kou!" ”

After receiving Jiang Guangnai's affirmative reply, Zhao Heng smiled again and said, "Yesterday I got the news through secret channels, that is, today the Japanese army will send Vice Admiral Nomura Kichizaburo, commander of the newly formed Third Fleet, to Shanghai to replace our old opponent Shiozawa Koichi. In addition, the Third Fleet is directly under the jurisdiction of the special service ship Notoro and the flagship Izumo, and the commander of the First Foreign Fleet is still Rear Admiral Koichi Shiozawa. It has 2 light cruisers, 1 coastal defense ship, 1 laying ship, 5 destroyers, and 12 gunboats as the backbone. The commander of the 3rd Sentai Squadron, Rear Admiral Hori, is based on 3 light cruisers. The commander of the 1st Mine Squadron was Arichi Daisa, with 1 light cruiser and 12 destroyers as the backbone; The First Air Force is based on four aircraft carriers, Kaga, Fengxiang, and destroyers, with about 100 aircraft of various types; The Marine Corps is under the jurisdiction of the 4th to 7th Brigades.

Also arriving was Vice Admiral Nobumasa Sueji, commander of the Second Fleet. Under its jurisdiction: the third squadron is based on 4 heavy cruisers; The 2nd Mine Squadron is based on 1 light cruiser and 12 destroyers.

The Japanese Army sent the 9th Division as a reinforcement, and the division commander, Lieutenant General Kenkichi Ueda; The 6th Infantry Brigade, Brigade Commander Major General Maehara Hiroyuki; The 7th Infantry Wing, Wing Commander Da Zuolin Daiba; The 35th Infantry Wing, Wing Commander Osa Nojiro; 18th Infantry Brigade, Brigade Commander Major General Kokichi Ono; The 19th Infantry Wing, Wing Commander Sakugo Sojiro Osa; 36th Infantry Wing, Wing Commander Kazuo Osa; The 9th Wing of the Mountain Artillery, Wing Commander Masaharu Osa-Iwano; The 1st Squadron of the 9th Cavalry Wing, the 1st Squadron of the 9th Engineer Brigade, and the 3rd Squadron of the 9th Baggage Brigade. Subordinate units: the 2nd Independent Combat Vehicle Squadron, the 1st Brigade of the 2nd Field Heavy Artillery Wing, the 1st Field Anti-aircraft Artillery Team of the 3rd Division, the 2nd Field Anti-aircraft Artillery Team of the 3rd Division, the 1st Squadron of the 1st Wing of the Shuangcheng Heavy Artillery, the Temporary Dispatch Engineer Team, the 5th Squadron of the Automatic Vehicle of the Military Station, the 2nd Flying Group (reconnaissance), and the 3rd Independent Flying Squadron (combat). The above is the details of the Japanese army today. ”

After listening attentively to the information that Zhao Heng didn't know where it came from, Jiang Guangnai himself had not yet spoken, and Zhang Xiang, the chief of staff who had not spoken from the beginning, who was sitting next to him, hurriedly asked Zhao Heng: "Where did Mr. Zhao get this information?" I don't know what this secret channel is, please can Mr. Zhao tell me one or two. ”

Zhao Heng thought to himself that I would tell you that this is a definitive record of later history, but he said: "I'm really sorry, in order to protect the life of the friend who provided the news, I can only say that I have no comment." ”

Jiang Guangnai stopped the questioning of Chief of Staff Zhang Xiang, and he made up his mind and said: "Since Mr. Zhao has come today to provide such important information, if our 19th Route Army with Mr. Zhao's help still can't win, I, Jiang, have no choice but to hang up the crown and go to the old man to return to his hometown and return to the mountains and forests. At that time, the 19th Route Army will rely on Mr. Zhao to take care of one or two. ”

．．．．．．

After waiting for two and a half hours for the two sides to finalize some details, Zhao Heng slowly stood up and said goodbye to the others present, and Cai Tingkai and Chen Jingtang, who came together, hurriedly got up to see off the guests. Jiang Guangnai watched Zhao Heng get into the car and leave, and when he couldn't see the back of the car, he turned around and immediately summoned a backbone of the 19th Route Army in the headquarters to deploy the next stage of the targeted battle plan against the Japanese army under the situation of the great enemy's advance.

On 3 February, after several days of repairs, the Japanese broke the cease-fire agreement, believing that they had grown in strength and did not need to negotiate any longer. After gathering tens of thousands of troops to launch an attack on Zhabei, but was still repelled by the powerful defenders in front of him with strong firepower, its defeat in the eyes of the Japanese commander Shiozawa Koichi was miserable, in order not to cause greater losses to himself, this old devil had to order the defeated Japanese army to return to the starting place in ashes.

After receiving the news, the panicked Japanese Cabinet, under the strong means of the military faction headed by Prince Tokumasa, urgently dispatched the newly fully equipped 3rd Fleet and the Kurume Mixed Brigade of the Japanese Army to reinforce Shanghai, and the commander of the 3rd Fleet, Kichizaburo Nomura, took over the command of Shiozawa, who was unfavorable in the battle.

Due to the unfavorable situation of the war on 3 February, which led to the low morale of all the officers and men of the Japanese navy invading Shanghai, Nomura Kichizaburo, who had just arrived, learned of the situation and ordered the offensive to be suspended, and at the same time ordered all units to repair for another day, and the repaired Japanese troops waited in Shanghai on the 5th to send the 24th Brigade (the brigade was composed of a brigade under the 12th Division), and the brigade commander, Major General Shimoto Kumaya. The 2nd Brigade of the 14th Infantry Wing, Captain Shosa Okamoto Tokuzo; The 1st Brigade of the 24th Infantry Wing, Captain Yoshio Shosa; The 1st Brigade of the 46th Infantry Wing, Captain Toru Morita; The First Brigade of the 48th Infantry Wing, Captain Shao Zuo Yan Zuo Jun; the 2nd Brigade of the 3rd Wing of the Independent Mountain Artillery, Captain Yoshinari Shosa Fukumura; The 2nd Squadron of the 18th Engineer Brigade. After a series of adjustments, the strength of the Japanese army reached more than 20,000 people. After several attempts by a small group of troops a few days ago, this situation lasted until the 7th (yes, small Japan did not even let people have a clean Spring Festival), and the very cunning Nomura immediately changed the point of attack, and after the deployment of troops, the Kurume mixed brigade took the lead in attacking the Wusong area, while the marines attacked the Jiangwan area, Nomura did this in an attempt to break through from the right flank of the defenders, take advantage of the situation to destroy the defenders, and avenge the Japanese soldiers who had died in the previous battle.

Of course, as the 19th Route Army guarding Shanghai, after adjustment, relying on the Wusong fortress as planned (with the help of Zhao Heng, the fortress has been strengthened in a number of columns, and the entire fortress uses high-strength over-standard reinforced concrete, up to five meters thick, even the bombardment of the 460 mm naval guns of the Yamato-class battleships is difficult to destroy, let alone penetrate, At the same time, the top is reinforced to prevent the goblet-level and other heavy bombs/bombs from hitting the top) of the fortress artillery and the dense water network area of Fuzaobang to fight fiercely with the invading Japanese army (Zhao Heng's plan is to send an enhanced version of the 63A amphibious tank to kill the Japanese army's motorboats and other small ships in the dense water network of Fuzaobang to prevent the Japanese landing operation, this proposal is considered a bit like killing chickens with knives. Long Bazun had no choice but to retreat and propose to use PT-76 amphibious tanks to intercept the Japanese troops who intended to land), and the 61st Division under his command wiped out the Japanese troops who attacked Jijiaqiao, Caojiaqiao and smuggled into Fuzaobang as planned, forcing the rest of the Japanese troops to retreat back to the Japanese concession, and at the same time deliberately the consuls of Britain, the United States and other countries came forward again to "mediate" so that the Japanese army could wait for reinforcements.
