The 62nd Division was stationed in the Jinshanwei area for nearly two months, and when the plainclothes marines were not enough, for example, when the mines and artillery were brought in in the middle of the night, the strong men of the 62nd Division would be called to help, which was paid extra. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info even if there is no extra pay, the soldiers of the 62nd Division are willing to go - the navy eats well, there are fish and meat in the meals, and if you are lucky, there is bacon in your hometown, which is full of oil and water, and everyone wants to be a navy after eating it a few times; The officers preferred to make friends with naval officers, not to mention food, but to smoke good Hardman cigarettes in the afternoon, and eat biscuits and pastries with a cup of black tea.

In fact, during the war, the navy did not have to be so extravagant, this was because it was worried that the 62nd Division would leak the news, and the remuneration was generally said to be hush money, and the meal was an additional meal, and the big fish and meat were eaten casually. I don't want this 62nd Division to be a local army like the Navy - all the divisions are Hunanese. Don't look at the backward weapons of this army, there is not even a steel helmet, only a hat, winter clothes are not enough, when it is cold, it only shiveres, but when it is cold, it is a good man. As soon as the hush money was issued, everything was settled.

Feng Daoping in the Jinshan Acropolis was worried that naval artillery could not support the infantry, while at the headquarters of the naval artillery team of the Yao clan ancestral hall in Zhangyan, north of the Acropolis, seven or eight kilometers up the water, Lieutenant General Huang Qixiang, deputy commander of the 8th Group Army, and Lieutenant General Xu Zhiqian, chief of staff of the 10th Group Army, were worried that naval artillery fire would hurt the infantry.

At this moment, the one-fifty-thousandth map, which had been covered by a black cloth, was finally displayed in front of outsiders, and the forts and defense lines were all on it. Vice Admiral Chen Jiliang, commander of the 1st Fleet, sat on a large rattan chair with a smile on his face, while Vice Admiral Huang Qixiang, deputy commander of the 8th Group Army, Admiral Liu Jianxu, commander of the 10th Group Army, and Vice Admiral Xu Zhiqian, chief of staff, and others looked at each other at first, and then their blood boiled -- if they really fought like this, it would definitely be a great victory among the great victories, and it was certain that a few people would win the Order of the Blue Sky and the White Sun.

Assuming that the Japanese fleet at sea does not retreat, but suppresses its own batteries with heavy artillery, can the 62nd and 63rd divisions defend the Acropolis of Jinshan and two batteries on the front line? If it can't be held, the Japanese troops who put it up will push it to the end, not to mention the two main batteries on the front line, even the third and fourth batteries in the back will also be occupied by the enemy.

The 28th Army is a side army, half of the rifles are made in Hanyang, and half are made by Minsheng (Hunan Minsheng Factory); There are many companies of light machine guns that do not have them, and most of them have a ten-round automatic rifle in squads 1, 4, and 7, or they are self-made; There are barely six heavy machine guns per battalion, or 30 knots, half of each in Hanyang, Changhua Repair Institute, and the steel material is very poor and easy to heat; There was a mortar company in the regiment, but there were only nine mortars, not to mention the lack of shells, and some of the shells did not explode when they were fired.

It is really very difficult for such a team to fight to the death against the enemy's landing force under the blows of the enemy's naval guns and planes, and not to retreat the slightest! Once the enemy naval ships do not withdraw, the 28th Army will repeat the Luodian tragedy, and it will be completely destroyed by enemy ships in one day.

During the Northern Expedition, Huang Qixiang was known as the four beautiful men, and if Chen Jiliang's waist injury did not hurt, he could also be said to be a beautiful man in the navy. In fact, this is also to blame the Supreme Command, Chen Shaokuan hoped that the 28th Army and several other army divisions would cooperate with the navy in Nanjing, but Gu Zhutong, deputy commander of the Third Theater of Operations, objected to this - the situation is already very clear, Jin Shanwei must be a great victory, and it is not the credit of the navy to let the navy command.

And Chang Kaishen also has his own small plans for this, the Left Route Army has not won a big victory in three months of fighting to the death, and Jin Shanwei is a big victory as soon as he fires a cannon, where will the face of the central government go? But the painful thing is that the Huangpu Department and the Civil Engineering Department are all trapped in Songhu, and it is impossible to transfer them to Jinshanwei to attack, so the command of the campaign was finally handed over to Zhang Fakui of the Right Route Army, which is also the reason why Huang Qixiang appeared here.

In fact, the plan made by the Admiralty was very reasonable: first connived at the landing of the enemy's landing vanguard, and then the two batteries at the forefront opened fire to bombard the enemy's landing fleet that had already broken down, and these two batteries were only two or three kilometers from the coast and belonged to both sides of Jinshanwei. This can maximize the power of artillery fire, hit enemy ships, and protect minefields.

If the enemy landing force is put in, these troops will naturally attack the batteries in front of them, which will depend on the infantry and the Japanese to fight to the death, and the 3rd and 4th batteries, which are further away from the coast, will also assist the infantry in defending the forward batteries. From the map, the four batteries are standard squares, two front and two rear; The Jinshan Acropolis and Zhangyan are two vertices, forming a triangle with the two adjacent forts. According to the navy's estimates, if you put the Japanese army up to fight, if you are lucky, you can eat at least one division. Of course, there are risks, in case the front-line infantry collapses and the four batteries are lost one by one, then the entire battle plan will be over.

"Deputy Commander Huang doesn't need to worry about the navy's artillery fire injuring the army brothers, the navy has already mapped the entire area in the past three months, although there is no test gun, but the distance is completely bottom-up. We were also afraid that the front line would not be able to understand the area, so we specially trained personnel. The cannon must be accurate. Chen Jiliang didn't speak, and it was Colonel Zhou Guangzu, a staff officer of the Navy Counselor's Office, who spoke. He felt that Lieutenant General Huang Qixiang had just arrived and did not understand the situation.

"I'm worried about one thing: what if the infantry doesn't hold the battery?" Huang Qixiang fully knew what the situation of the 28th Army was, although they were all Hunan Army, but the 62nd and 63rd divisions of the 28th Army could not be compared with its main three divisions, the 15th, 16th, and 19th. In the event that all four batteries were lost, and the Japanese swept away minefields and landed ashore in a steady stream, it would not be enough for the entire Right Wing Army to fill in.

"This is for Commander Liu." Chen Jiliang smiled, "According to the navy's estimate, the first wave of Japanese troops landing will be at most one division, and it is impossible for heavy equipment to go ashore in a short period of time. Our army waits for work at leisure, and attacks with defense, and it is impossible for the battery to be unable to hold it. It is also impossible for the Japanese ships not to withdraw, and we have already calculated the tide when laying mines, and the mines cannot touch the bottom of the ship at high tide, but it is different after the tide falls. Although the front-line batteries were rudimentary, they could still withstand dozens of cannons. ”

Chen Jiliang shifted the topic to Liu Jianxu of the 10th Group Army, but Liu Jianxu did not speak, he has always been cautious in handling things, the two divisions of the 28th Army and the Navy together to win the battle of Jinshanwei are of course the best, but the 28th Army is a sideline, the 15th, 16th, and 19th divisions are fighting the battlefield in Shanghai, not to mention the change of defense, Chen Cheng actually wants to pull the 15th Division away.

Besides, the Right Route Army only had three divisions: 55, 56, and 57. The 55th and 57th Divisions were the old divisions of Chen Tiaoyuan in Jiangsu, and the 56th Division was the soldiers of Ma Xiangbin in Anhui. The Fourth Route Army originally had 15, 16, 19, 62, 63, 192, the new 34 (later reorganized 128), and the 11th Brigade, a total of seven divisions and one brigade, all of which were children of Sanxiang. Before leaving Hunan Province, Chang Kaishen promised not to divide the use, but now it is good, the 15th and 16th most capable divisions are transferred, and the remaining 10th Army will be controlled by Zhang Fakui.

Since the Anti-Japanese War, Liu Jianxu has a lot of thoughts, but he is introverted, and he will not think that like his former chief of staff Peng Songling, he bluntly said in the telegram that Chen Cheng 'disregarded the safety of the country and used the hands of the Japanese army to kill miscellaneous cards to settle the country', but he still had this account in his heart. The miscellaneous divisions couldn't change their defenses, so they had to be dismantled and supplemented by the Central Army, but the Hunan Army could fight, and the 15th and 16th divisions were pulled to the battlefield, where was it worse than the Central Army, why couldn't the entire Fourth Route Army be used centrally?

Liu Jianxu complained slightly in his heart about the party-state, if he lived to the next generation, he would vomit blood angrily, most of the people in the world only knew that the Songhu War of Resistance had Huangpu German Mechanic Division, Gui Department, Sichuan Army, and Northeast Army, and the Hunan Army that was transferred to Zhejiang early and then went to Shanghai from Zhejiang was unknown.

"Deputy Commander Huang and Commander Chen, please rest assured, what others can do, my Fourth Route Army can do! Even if the whole army dies, we must ensure that the fort is not lost!! Commander Liu Jianxu didn't speak, so Chief of Staff Xu Zhiqian had no choice but to speak on his behalf.

After all, the staff officer is smart, and what he said was the same as if he didn't say it. However, Chen Jiliang understood the meaning of his words, and he said happily: "I am relieved to have Chief of Staff Xu's words, and you and Commander Liu are also assured, it is definitely not the death of the 28th Army, it is the death of the devil!" ”

The navy actually fought with his subordinates, and Huang Qixiang on the side looked very unhappy. But the navy is not under his control, and the 28th Army Nanjing also designated to protect the naval battery, and the time is urgent, so he can't say anything, so he has to say: "The 8th Army is likely to arrive without a shot." This side has to guard against the Japanese army landing from the east of Huangque, and also take into account the blockade of the Huangpu River, the strength is very tight, before, Commander-in-Chief Zhang wanted to transfer the 62nd Division to Pudong, but now he can only find a way to hold on. ”

The 55th and 56th of the 8th Group Army were originally within the plan to reinforce Jinshanwei, but now Huang Qixiang will no longer transfer these two divisions to come, and will only defend Pudong according to the defense area. Zhou Guangzu immediately said: "The east of the fort is not within the range of the fort, and there are no mines on the sea, if the Japanese army lands from here, it will definitely attack the fort in a roundabout way, no matter what, at least one division must defend it." ”

"This matter ......" Huang Qixiang pinched it, and finally said: "I will report this matter to Commander-in-Chief Zhang after I go back......"

"Commander-in-Chief Zhang is afraid that he has already received an order from Nanjing." Chen Jiliang saw that he was in control, and immediately told him bluntly - for the sake of secrecy, including Zhang Fakui of the Right Route Army, he did not know the entire battle plan, but only knew that the troops were transferred according to the order, and the entire battle plan was formulated by the navy, and all that was needed was the cooperation of the army, so he completely knew that Pudong would transfer one or two divisions down.

"Oh......" Huang Qixiang was stunned by what he said, and then said with a dry smile: "Since Nanjing has given an order, let's do it according to Nanjing's order." I'm just worried that there are too few troops in front of Jinshanwei, and there are enemy planes overhead, and there are enemy artillery on the sea. ”

"After the enemy landed, they basically cut off their backups, and one died less than one. According to general speculation, the Japanese landing force only had three days of dry rations, and as long as they held it for five days, they would starve to death. Chen Jiliang was displeased when he heard the enemy's planes, and his fleet, his soldiers, and his back wound were all due to the Japanese planes.

"What if these Japanese troops can't attack for a long time and scatter and flee?" Huang Qixiang suddenly asked. was reminded by Chen Jiliang, and he also found that Jinshanwei and Luodian were indeed different, and the Japanese troops here were really alone when they went ashore.

"It's better to run away." Chen Jiliang didn't care, "The troops transferred from Shanghai will hold Songjiang and Fengjing, where can the Japanese flee to?" As a result, everyone will come together to fight the water dogs, and at most a small group will flee to Shanghai. ”

Chen Jiliang said that the hearts of the people are hot, when the country. The army can also chase the Japanese like rabbits, which is an unprecedented thing. Liu Jianxu Xu Zhiqian couldn't help laughing, Huang Qixiang also laughed, he said: "Okay! As far as Commander Chen's words are concerned, let's beat the water dogs this time. However, the 8th Army has too few artillery, and the navy can support one or two. ”

Either large-caliber shore guns or anti-aircraft guns to protect the batteries were brought to Jinshan County, and other 37mm machine guns were not brought in at all. Chen Jiliang was about to say no, but Zhou Guangzu preemptively said: "The navy can support a batch of mines of the 8th Group Army." ”

"Landmines?" Landmines are not commonly used, but something is better than nothing, Huang Qixiang nodded and said, "Okay, I'll let someone carry it away tomorrow night." ”

"No, it's going to be shipped away tonight, and buried tomorrow night." Zhou Guangzu insisted. "The Japanese will be coming soon."

This was the end of the pre-war meeting in the ancestral hall of the Yao family, because it was impossible to change the navy's strategy of going ashore and shooting down water dogs, Huang Qixiang, the deputy commander of the 8th Group Army, had to agree with the boat. Fortunately, this operation was ultimately under the leadership of the Right Route Army, not the Navy and the 10th Army acting alone. After the battle was discussed, Huang Qixiang immediately asked the herald to quickly transmit the situation here to the headquarters of the Right Route Army in Nanqiao Town, Fengxian, so that the commander Zhang Fakui could understand the battle plan here.

Seeing that Huang Qixiang called the herald, Chen Jiliang, who didn't like his letter, said: "If Deputy Commander Huang wants to inform Commander Zhang of the battle plan, can he wait for Commander Zhang to come and then report." ”

"Commander Chen doesn't believe me and Commander Zhang?" Huang Qixiang asked rhetorically.

"It's not that I don't believe it, and if I don't believe it, I won't tell it directly. I'm worried that this place is too far from Fengxian, and if something happens to the heralds, it won't be good if they miss the plan. Chen Jiliang insisted, he still remembered that the plan to seal the river failed due to the leakage of news by the Japanese traitors, and it took three or four months of hard work on Jin Shanwei's side, and if he was bombarded by the Japanese before the battle, it would really not be good.

Huang Qixiang also felt that what Chen Jiliang said made sense, and when he was about to speak, Chen Jiliang's adjutant called a report to come in, and after whispering the report, Chen Jiliang frowned for a while, and his face darkened. Huang Qixiang, who put down the letter, said, "Commander Chen, what's the difficulty?" ”

"It's not difficult." Chen Jiliang returned to his usual look, "It's the chairman who wants to ......"

"Ahh Is the chairman coming? Huang Qixiang was shocked.

"No, no." Chen Jiliang shook his head: "It's the telephone line to Nanjing." ”

"It seems that this battle is ......," Huang Qixiang also frowned, but he turned stiffly: "Okay! This shows that the chairman attaches great importance to it! ”
