Chapter 322: Go to the Fortress
Han Fei nodded: "Shizuo's thoughts are the same as mine, I also think that Changzhou can't hold it, since it can't be held, then why stay here?" ”
How smart a person the division commander was, how could he not hear the meaning of Han Fei's words, he knew that Han Fei had new ideas, so he nodded and said, "Brother Han, what do you think?" ”
"Shizuo, Jiangyin Fortress is not far from here, we can rush there before the devils attack Jiangyin, and use the Yangtze River to block the devils' attacks by land and water, which is much better than defending here in Changzhou-" Han Fei put forward his own suggestion.
The division commander listened and nodded: "What you said is not unreasonable, but there should be a garrison on the Jiangyin side, was it a little inconvenient for us in the past?" ”
"What's inconvenient, the Jiangyin garrison originally had two regiments, and now according to the report of the scouts we sent out, a regiment has run away, and the regiment that stayed behind is also panicked, and it will definitely not be able to stop the devil's onslaught by sea and land, if this fortress falls into the hands of the devil, then the Yangtze River from Jiangyin to Nanjing will all be controlled by the devil, even if our troops withdraw to Nanjing, it will be a dead end, and they can't escape." Han Fei said with a solemn face.
"Hey, I didn't expect the situation at the front to be so bad, why didn't they run away before they saw the devil? Don't they know that the state has raised them for so many days, and it is used at this time? How can you escape? The teacher was puzzled.
"They run, we take over, as long as the logistics can keep up, there is absolutely no problem in guarding the Jiangyin fortress here for half a month." Han Fei assured.
"Okay, just listen to you, let's go to Jiangyin!" The division commander thought about it for a while, and felt that there was such a road in front of him, the original garrison and local security regiment in Changzhou City had also fled, and his troops only had more than 1,000 horses left, and they had to rely on these more than 1,000 horses, even if they added more than 100 special forces of the special service company, it was impossible to block the siege of a large number of devils in Changzhou, a water town with a flat river, that is, suicide.
Now at this time, everyone is scrambling to run for their lives, hoping to outrun the friendly army, as for running past the little devils, it is a matter of not worrying about the independent division, what Jiangyin Fort, it is important to run for your life.
The division commander is actually powerless about this situation, although he is indignant and scolds those who are fleeing from the battle on the basis of the state's support, but at his level, that is, he is just complaining in his own division headquarters, and there is no other role at all, even Admiral Chen, who has a very high prestige in the **, is helplessly removed from his post, a small division commander, with the rank of major general, what can he do? It's better to save your worries and work with Han Fei of the spy company to plan the next action plan.
"Master, where is Admiral Chen now?" Han Fei asked.
"I don't know, I haven't been contacted, but I don't have to worry about his personal safety, it's just that he was removed, with his prestige in **** and the national government, the chairman can't embarrass him much, after all, he is a veteran figure, and he hasn't made a big mistake." The division commander shook his head helplessly and said.
"If Admiral Chen had taken action immediately after receiving the news that I had sent him that the Devil Division was going to land near Jinshan in Hangzhou Bay, maybe the current battle situation would not be like this, hey, it would still be bad luck." Han Fei also regretted that General Chen was taken down by the chairman of the committee because of this issue, and if he had made a decisive decision to send troops from several armies to Jinshan to block the landing of the devils, there would not have been a situation in which the defense line of the National Revolutionary Army in the Songhu battlefield was defeated by the devils in one fell swoop, and it would be too late to say anything now.
The division commander heard this, but still shook his head and said: "Brother Han, the situation is not what you imagined, even if Admiral Chen immediately starts to deal with the devils who landed from Hangzhou Bay, he still can't escape the end of being removed by the chairman, our troops on the Songhu battlefield are limited, and the troops transferred to Jinshanwei must be drawn from the direction of Luodian and Baoshan, so in this way, Jinshan may be able to block the landing of devils, and Luodian and Baoshan will definitely be broken by the devil division. This method of demolishing the east wall and making up the west wall can only block the devil's attack for some time at most, but it cannot reverse the situation and repel the devil's attack on Shanghai, unless we can get a large number of well-trained reinforcements, but this is impossible, I estimated that this time on the Shanghai battlefield, more than sixty percent of the central army was all invested here, and it is impossible to reinforce it at all, unless the chairman is determined to have a decisive battle with the Japanese in Songhu! ”
Han Fei listened to the division commander's analysis, and was silent, although he had only crossed over to the National Revolutionary Army for a few months, he had already seen the intrigue and deceit inside, the division commander's analysis just now was very reasonable, even if General Chen took it upon himself to transfer the troops from Luodian and Baoshan to Jinshan, he still couldn't stop the attack of the devils, and in the National Revolutionary Army, without the approval of the highest level, he would transfer several armies without authorization, and such a major event would be a capital crime and would be killed!
The affairs at the top were too complicated and weird, Han Fei and the division were powerless, and they had no intention of figuring it out, and the most urgent thing for them now was how to rush to Jiangyin quickly and covertly.
In the daytime, of course, it is impossible to act, not only are there devil reconnaissance planes in the sky constantly circling and reconnoitring, there are many devil spies disguised as merchants and refugees on the ground, and some devil spies are simply Japanese businessmen doing business in the local area, as well as the locals they bribed, as soon as these people open their eyes, they keep a close eye on all the movements of the National Revolutionary Army troops inside and outside the city of Changzhou, and send these military information to the hands of the devil leaders through various channels, it is the existence of these spies and traitors. As a result, the **** troops along the way were repeatedly ambushed by devils, and most of them were all wiped out by devils, with heavy casualties and miserable.
Han Fei decided to crack down on and arrest these devils and traitors during the day, he put the "fox" in charge of the whole thing, and sent Li Dagang to assist in the arrest operation, and the other troops of the spy company and the men and horses led by the division commander immediately prepared to set off for a rapid march at night. Changzhou is a land of fish and rice, rich in products, if you want to hold on to Jiangyin for a little longer, then buy more materials, and bring as much as you can.
