Chapter 51: The Japanese Arrival
Because the defense line is too long, only a reading brigade of Su Dao can not completely hold the position, so Su Dao had to place the position in the south of Changshu and north of Suzhou, trying to avoid the enemy's naval artillery bombardment.
Therefore, when choosing a position, Su Dao subconsciously still had to avoid the naval guns of the Yue army. By the time it was dawn, the Reading Brigade had reached a new line of defense. This is the permanent fortifications built at great cost by the Nanjing political axe, the hard bunkers, and the complete anti-artillery fortifications, all of which are no longer annotated, and this is the Maginot Line in the East.
But historically, it does not seem to be much different from the Maginot Line in France, the same impregnable, the same resistance to the massive attack of the invaders, but the same without causing any damage to the enemy.
The Germans bypassed the Maginot Line directly and suddenly drove their troops behind the Maginot Line, rendering the Maginot Line completely ineffective overnight. The Wufu line was voluntarily abandoned by the Chinese army, and this defense line, which was built at a huge cost, had to be abandoned because of the measures and fighters.
It is really a weapon of the country, a weapon of war. Su Dao looked at the defense fortifications in front of him and sighed secretly, this place is much better than the trenches they dug themselves, don't worry about the bullets flying sideways, don't worry about whether the shrapnel will fly from other places.
"Order the soldiers to enter the defense line immediately, and complete the construction of the substandard fortifications on the defense line within half a day, before dinner tonight, every soldier must know the construction of this defense line, and we are running out of time, if I guess correctly, it is estimated that the army should land in these two days." Su Dao said slowly, the lack of troops, Su Dao can only make up for it with elite soldiers, but this is not a long-term strategy after all, but there is nothing to be done, and now he has no more troops in his hands.
Wu Zhongguo nodded, and then ordered Su Dao's order, these things will naturally be supervised, what Su Dao and Wu Zhongguo have to do is just control the entire direction and the overall battle plan.
"What do you say? Su Dao's Reading Brigade ran away? He also informed the whole army of the news that 100,000 troops were going to land in Hangzhou Bay and Jinshanwei? Zhu Shaoliang stood in the command center, angry back and forth.
This Su Dao is really too capable of causing trouble, and his intelligence Zhu Shaoliang had already reported to Chairman Chiang in Nanjing yesterday, but Chairman Chiang said that he would hold on for a few days and wait until after the meeting of the Nine-Power Pact in November, and now Chairman Chiang is still pinning all his hopes on the international community.
This is also the most annoying place for Su Dao, Ya, the affairs of your own country, always thinking about letting others help you solve it, haven't you heard that far water does not quench your thirst, it is better to ask God and Buddha than to ask yourself? Besides, now that Germany is rising rapidly and has begun a new round of military expansion, Britain and France are enough headaches just to guard against Germany, so there is still time to send troops to the Far East to toss?
As for the United States, let alone think about it, it will always be an expression that I will not play until you live or die, and the only country that can make the United States appear on the battlefield as soon as the war comes out is estimated to be Mexico. Moreover, the United States has not yet come out of the Great Depression and is simply unable to take care of the Far East.
"Yes, Commander, now that the defenders of Shanghai have begun to be chaotic, many people below have asked to retreat to the Wufu line, and many people have advocated sending troops to Hangzhou Bay to drive the landed troops back to the sea. I heard that the principal was furious and kept throwing several cups. The adjutant on the side hurriedly responded.
"Oh? Did the principal say anything about us? Zhu Shaoliang asked nervously, he didn't care what Su Dao wanted to do, and he didn't care how the principal scolded him, but for his own affairs, Zhu Shaoliang was very concerned.
"I haven't heard any news for the time being, but I just heard that it seems that the principal scolds Su Dao for not understanding discipline and wants to be severely punished." The adjutant hurriedly responded.
Hearing that he didn't mention himself, Zhu Shaoliang's heart hanging in the air finally let go, he was afraid that the principal would also implicate himself because of this matter, if that was the case, he would be too wronged. Su Dao's Reading Brigade has not issued an order by himself, and Su Dao has never accepted the leadership of the Ninth Army with an actual surname, and now if something goes wrong, he will make trouble for Zhu Shaoliang, the commander-in-chief, I am afraid that Zhu Shaoliang will not necessarily avoid it, but fortunately, the principal has no intention of this.
It's just that this Su Dao originally seemed to have a bright future, but now, it's hard to say, after going back, he will have to revoke the number of the Reading Brigade and send Su Dao to the military court for trial. Now Su Dao is facing two felonies of escaping from the battlefield and disturbing the morale of the army, each of which is enough to shoot someone.
In the Nanjing National Political Axe, Chairman Jiang took off his hat, and a bright and bright head appeared in front of everyone's eyes, and the bald head that walked back and forth made several people around him dare not speak loudly, even if they breathed, it was gentle, and they did not dare to make any sound at all.
"Jingzhi, what do you think about Su Dao?" Chairman Jiang glanced at the water cup on the table, shook his head with a wry smile, this is the first cup that is about to be broken since today.
"Bench, I think this matter can be big or small, heavy or light. But to bring down Su Dao, I don't think it's time yet, we just set up Su Dao as a hero of resistance, and it was only a few days before we brought him down, isn't this obviously lifting a stone to shoot ourselves in the foot? Besides, Su Dao is indeed very talented, and he is also very talented, I heard Yimin say that yesterday Yimin also got millions of oceans worth of medicines from Su Dao, and it is also the most precious anti-inflammatory medicine, as well as painkillers. He Yingqin responded, but there were some things he didn't say.
Bai Chongxi on the side nodded secretly, this time He Yingqin's words finally meant to himself, according to his eyes, this Su Dao is definitely not a thing in the pool, and there will definitely be some achievements in the future, but this will definitely be a scourge, and ordinary people can't control it.
"Niang Xipi, tell Su Dao that if the army does not have 100,000 reinforcements to land from Hangzhou Bay, I will be the first to kill him." Chairman Jiang scolded angrily, and then smashed the quilt again, he found that he especially liked to break the cup in the past two days, and it was all caused by this Su Dao.
"Report! Frontline Emergency! As soon as Chairman Jiang finished speaking, the shouts of the guards came from outside the door.
"Come in and read!" Chiang Kai-shek shook his head helplessly, his head was big when he listened to the telegrams from the front line in the past few days, and the continuous combat defeats made Chiang Kai-shek extremely headaches, and the Western powers were constantly delaying and refusing to tell him the final result, so that Chiang Kai-shek did not know how to deploy the next war for a while.
"According to the report of the defenders near Hangzhou Bay in the front, a number of large transport ships of the Japanese army were found, and a large number of warships and aircraft carriers escorted it, and it is speculated that it may be reinforcements of the Japanese army, and the number is expected to be about three divisions or more, and the specific number is ominous."
"Niang Xipi!" With the end of the communication soldier's reading, Chiang Kai-shek couldn't hold back anymore, could it be that the news of this Su Dao was so much more accurate than his own? Not only did I guess the total number of troops and the number (Tenth Army) of the army, but I also guessed the landing place of the army.
But now, the troops near Hangzhou Bay have basically been evacuated, and now the troops left there are basically equal to zero, and they can't resist the landing of the Yue army at all, and now even if they are deploying troops to Hangzhou Bay to block it, it is too late. Once the defenders in Shanghai rushed to the aid of Hangzhou Bay, then the opposing army could launch a general attack, preventing the landing of the 10th Army, but losing the whole of Shanghai, and there was also the danger of annihilation.
