Chapter 112: Infiltration Attack

"With the number of 600, seize 1,000 Japanese troops to guard the important places, withstand the onslaught of more than 3,000 Japanese troops, and annihilate 3,000 enemies, Battalion Commander Xiao is really the tiger general of the country!" The person who said this was Gu Zhutong, deputy commander of China's newly established Third Theater. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

As soon as Gu Zhutong's comments came out, the others did not react, and Feng Yuxiang, the commander of the Third Theater, showed a smile on his face and said: "After Zhao Dengyu, this is the new generation of tiger generals of our 29th Army!" I am very relieved that there is a successor to our Northwest Army! ”

Zhao Dengyu's name as a tiger general is not groundless. In 19 years, Feng Yuxiang's unit was stationed in Changde, Hunan Province, and Zhao Dengyu once killed a tiger with his comrades, and also took a photo of riding on the back of the tiger and waving his fist.

Zhao Dengyu is a well-known tiger general in the Northwest Army who dares to fight tough battles and can fight tough battles, and became famous in the battle of Xifengkou on the Great Wall. Now, Xiao Zhange's prestige has spread throughout China because of the battle of Dagong Yarn Factory, Feng Yuxiang said that he is a new generation of tiger generals, and his name as a tiger general is confirmed.

Inviting Xiao Zhange to the General Headquarters was Feng Yuxiang's idea. Xiao Zhange was born in the 29th Army, and he was his junior in the Northwest Army, Xiao Zhange and the spy battalion he led made such a meritorious achievement, Feng Yuxiang was honored, and naturally did not hesitate to praise him verbally. It's just that what he and Xiao Zhange would never have thought of was that just because of his beautiful words, after being reached to Lao Jiang's ears in a different way by someone with a heart, Lao Jiang was unhappy.

Lao Jiang originally admired Xiao Zhange's ability to fight, and he had already moved the idea of promoting him beyond the rank and directly upgrading the special service battalion to a special service brigade, but because of Feng Yuxiang's words, he hesitated a little when he put pen to paper and gave orders, and the "special service brigade" became a "special service group".

That's an afterword.

Army. Several bigwigs of the committee came from Jinling, originally just curious about what kind of person Xiao Zhange was, and wanted to see it, Feng Yuxiang made the decision to let Xiao Zhange come over to attend the military meeting, so they brought Xiao Zhange over by the way.

So far, the Chinese army has missed a good opportunity to attack. The Dagong Yarn Factory was located at the easternmost end of the Japanese defense line, so Xiao Zhange did not get to see the scene of the great battle between the Chinese Air Force and the Japanese Navy. In this air battle, the Chinese Air Force had an absolute advantage at the beginning, but because the Chinese Army had not carried out infantry and air coordination, the opportunity was missed in vain.

The Japanese reinforcements were extremely fast, originally there were only more than 4,000 troops in the magic capital, but in just two days, a division of troops landed at multiple piers on the north bank of the Huangpu River. The Japanese troops that the special battalion later withstood the attack on the Dagong mill were all from this division.

On the Eastern Front, because of the sideways appearance of Xiao Zhange, it changed the outcome of the battle in the area of the Dagong Yarn Mill in history. Historically, the Dagong Yarn Mill was one of the last two strongholds of the Japanese army in the Battle of Songhu. Now, the stronghold has shifted southwest to the Yangshupo area.

On the Western Front, the headquarters of the Japanese Marines in Hongkou was the core area of both sides' attack and defense. At one point, the Chinese army laid siege to the building of the Japanese Marine Corps headquarters on three sides, but after the Japanese reinforced a wing to the area, the Chinese army not only blocked the offensive. In addition, Major General Huang Meixing, commander of the 262nd Brigade of the 88th Division, who was responsible for attacking the main force in the area, was killed by Japanese artillery in the headquarters of the 262nd Brigade of the Zhizhi University.

The death of Major General Huang Meixing dealt a great blow to the morale of the 88th Division. In view of this, the Chinese army suspended its offensive, and this large-scale military conference was held.

At the beginning of the meeting, Xiao Zhange, a colonel and battalion commander, was immediately overwhelmed by the accumulation of generals. Well, the criteria for participation in this military conference are officers of the rank of brigade commander and above, that is, at least a major general. In the Songhu area, more than 200,000 Chinese troops had been assembled at this time.

The meeting lasted for an hour and a half, and Xiao Zhange couldn't help but feel a little drowsy because he didn't hear anything material. At this time, a local moral accent came into his ears, and he couldn't help but perk up, and immediately sat up straight and looked forward, and saw that it was an old white man sitting next to Feng Yuxiang who was speaking.

Xiao Zhange naturally jumped out of his mind with a German name: "Falkenhausen? Then his ears stood up.

The old white man who spoke was none other than the head of the German military advisory group, General Falkenhausen. He put forward an idea, that is, he believed that under the current situation in which the Japanese naval aviation units had air supremacy, it would be very unwise to still storm the strongholds heavily guarded by the Japanese army, and that it was necessary to attack the weakly defended areas of the Japanese army through infiltration operations before the arrival of Japanese reinforcements, cut off the rear route of the Japanese strongholds, and then try to make other plans.

“…… Concentrate artillery, carry out concentrated fire strikes on the attack targets, and after smashing the Japanese defenses, send elite troops to intersperse...... Interspersed with the completion of the construction of strong fortifications to block the Japanese reinforcements along the river......"

Xiao Zhange thought about it, and a bright light appeared in his eyes. Before the crossing, when learning theory and tactics, Xiao Zhange and his classmates did a lot of deductions for the battle of the magic capital. Based on the equipment, technical and tactical level of the Chinese army at that time, there were at least several ways to win the battle of the magic capital. Among them, the infiltration tactics proposed by Falkenhausen are very worthy of use.

Historically, there were two strongholds held by the Japanese army in the magic capital, one was the Dagong Yarn Mill and the other was the Marine Corps Headquarters in Hongkou. If the Chinese army can completely annihilate the enemy in the demon capital before the Japanese army lands at Jinshanwei in Hangzhou Bay, then the hidden danger of being attacked by the enemy on the belly and back can be eliminated, and permanent fortifications can be established along the coast of the demon capital to resist the Japanese landing battle head-on.

The magic capital is full of concessions of the Western powers, and the existence of these concessions is certainly a shame for the Chinese, but it is completely feasible to use them as shields when used properly in wartime. Of course, the premise is that the demons must be under the control of the Chinese army.

Falkenhausen's proposal was approved by the high-level leaders of the Third War Zone headed by Feng Yuxiang and Gu Zhutong. Feng Yuxiang immediately asked the generals present, who took the initiative to undertake the interspersed tasks at will: "...... We discussed with General Falkenhausen that the number of infiltrating troops should not be too much, and it was possible to alarm the Japanese army in advance. 500 men at most, but these 500 men must hold out until reinforcements arrive, or the frontal troops complete the encirclement of the Japanese stronghold......"

After Feng Yuxiang asked, within a few minutes, the venue was silent, and no one stood up and took the initiative to ask.

Feng Yuxiang was born in the Northwest Army, but everyone here is Lao Jiang's descendants, if Gu Zhutong comes to ask questions, then it will definitely be another result.

This is evident in the factional strife in the Chinese military. (To be continued.) )
