In the entire Battle of Songhu, the Chinese army has been fighting very aggrieved, and the casualties are not small, but I didn't expect that before leaving, it was a few combination punches in a row, which made the little devil dizzy all of a sudden, and the effect was very good.

When he heard that the ground forces and air force had won a complete victory, Chairman Chiang shouted several times in Nanjing.

Commissar Jiang on the side also smiled from ear to ear, after all, she was the commander of the Air Force, and the Air Force had achieved brilliant results, and her face also had light.

Annihilated a Japanese heavy artillery brigade, and now destroyed its field airfield in Shanghai, then it will be more beneficial to the Chinese army in Shanghai, Chen Cheng also felt that the burden on his shoulders was much lighter all of a sudden, and he couldn't help but exhale heavily.

"This Wei Qidong and Tang Xinyi are really my lucky stars......" Chen Cheng couldn't help but sigh so much, the two of them only appeared for a few days, and they had such a big impact on the situation in Shanghai.

Taking advantage of the fact that the Japanese army suffered several defeats in a row, Chen Cheng seized the opportunity to retreat, and in order to make the retreat process smoother, the Chinese Air Force also gave full cooperation.

All of a sudden, in the skies over Shanghai, the Chinese Air Force had absolute air superiority, and for the first time, the Japanese army tasted the pain of not having air supremacy, and its positions were strafed and bombed by the Chinese Air Force many times.

And Wei Qidong and Tang Xinyi cooperated with the Chinese Air Force several times to kill another heavy artillery brigade of the little devil. However, the little devil has already suffered a loss, and he has covered the remaining heavy artillery brigade in Shanghai very tightly, and even hid and did not dare to move easily, and a lot of anti-aircraft fire has been laid around.

Although it failed to destroy the Japanese heavy artillery brigade, it was contained. Without the cooperation of this heavy artillery brigade, in terms of heavy weapons, the heavy firepower of several artillery regiments of the Chinese army is no worse than that of all the Japanese troops in Shanghai, and all the artillery is still concentrated together, and the deterrent power is greater.

At present, the only advantage that the Japanese army has in Shanghai is the strength of troops, and the number of troops in Shanghai is about 200,000, while on the Chinese side, the main force has withdrawn from Shanghai, and the troops left behind to intercept are only about 120,000.

As the commander of the Central China Dispatch Army, Matsui Shigen is now thinking about a question, whether to rely on the current strength in his hands to have a decisive battle with the more than 100,000 troops under Chen Cheng.

Although the Chinese army has air superiority and its heavy firepower is no longer weak, Matsui Ishone believes that with the good combat effectiveness of the Japanese army and the superiority of troops, the chances of winning a decisive battle are still very high. Matsui Ishone's only concern was that he would lose 1,000 enemies and 800 himself, so he and his staff planned that if a decisive battle was held under the current conditions, the Japanese army might have to pay 80,000 or 90,000 casualties.

The Japanese army did not pay so many casualties in the entire Battle of Songhu, so as soon as this figure came out, Matsui Shigen was very hesitant. In fact, it was not only Matsui Ishine who was hesitating, but also Chairman Chiang, who saw that the current situation in Shanghai had suddenly improved a lot, and even pondered whether it was possible to relaunch the Battle of Songhu and take Shanghai back in one fell swoop.

Chairman Chiang calculated that the Chinese army had 800,000 troops in East China, while the Japanese army counted about 300,000 troops in outflanking. If the Japanese army still has the same sea and air superiority as before, then even the 800,000 Chinese army may not be able to deal with the 300,000 Japanese army.

But now it is different, the Japanese Combined Fleet has been forced to retreat, cutting off a large part of its arms, and the air supremacy in Shanghai has temporarily fallen into the hands of the Chinese army. Moreover, in the event of a war, the Chinese army could continue to increase its troops, while the Japanese army would have been much more difficult to reinforce without the full cooperation of the Japanese Combined Fleet.

Chairman Chiang also discussed this issue with Wei Qidong, but Wei Qidong did not express too many opinions on such a major matter, because he was not good at such a large military operation, and he could not analyze how much military and political interest there was in it. Wei Qidong only made it clear that no matter what decision Nanjing makes, he will fully support it.

The reason for this statement is because in Wei Qidong's mind, it would be a great risk to counterattack Shanghai at this time, but it was not without a chance of victory. Shanghai was not an ordinary city, and it was occupied by the Japanese army, and whether it was tax, trade, trade, etc., it was very unfavorable to China.

At present, the Japanese army does not have a clear advantage in Shanghai, but if they are given a period of relief, they can not only rebuild the airport, but also collect taxes, trade, etc., in Shanghai, and greatly consolidate their strength in Shanghai. Once the Japanese army has a firm foothold in Shanghai, it may not be so honest, and it is very likely to covet Nanjing, and then peep into the whole of Central China.

If the Chinese army has no chance of winning, it is naturally difficult to take such a big risk to counterattack. However, from Wei Qidong's point of view, if the sea can be blocked, the Japanese army in Shanghai will become a lone army, as long as the Chinese army does not retreat in the early stage, the longer it lasts, the more uncomfortable the little devil will be.

Finally, after considering and weighing the advantages and disadvantages, Chairman Chiang decided to take the risk of launching a counteroffensive. Since the decision was made, Chairman Chiang immediately ordered Chen Cheng to stabilize the defense line and continue to hold Shanghai. The more than 600,000 troops that had already retreated from Shanghai stopped retreating, put themselves in order, and were ready to launch a new round of offensives at any time.

After learning the news, Wei Qidong also quickly began to plan his own actions in order to counter the counterattack of the Chinese army.

"Four-line warehouse?" When Tang Xinyi heard that Wei Qidong was going to attack the Sixing Warehouse, she couldn't help but be surprised.

"Yes, there is a large amount of Japanese military supplies stored there, and it will be more beneficial to us if we can take it from the little devils." Wei Qidong said.

"However, the Sixing warehouse is located between the Japanese occupation area and the concession, and the two of us launched a surprise attack, and the success rate of destroying it is still relatively large, but it may be difficult to occupy and seize those materials. Moreover, the Sixing warehouse is separated from the concession by the Suzhou Creek, and we will definitely use armed helicopters to operate, so it will not be directly exposed to the eyes of those foreign devils? Tang Xinyi couldn't help but worry.

"I've thought about this, but we've been in action for so long, and the little devils have paid so much incredible price under our blows, it's absolutely impossible to say that those foreign devils haven't gotten any rumors. Sooner or later, they'll find out about these things we have. Instead of being so secretive, it is better to fight a good battle directly in front of their eyes, so that they can see that even if we in China do not have them, we can fight a good war. ”

"If we defeat Little Japan in front of these foreign devils, maybe these guys will be more restrained."

Tang Xinyi knew what Wei Qidong meant by restraint, those Western white-skinned pigs, when our Chinese nation was invaded by foreign nations, not only did not lend a helping hand, but also took the opportunity to want a piece of the pie.

The British were involved in this kind of dirty thing a while ago, and in the eyes of these capitalists, interests are the most important, and morality has long been let the dogs go.
