Liberate Shanghai

"White flag... Division commander, white flag, the little devil on the aircraft carrier has raised the white flag, and the little devil detachment has surrendered...."A huge white flag has just been raised over the aircraft carrier, when it is fluttering in the wind. In the headphones of Division Commander Wang Guangfu, the excited voices of his subordinates came...

Accompanied by the aircraft carrier, which is the flagship, the white flag was raised in full view of everyone, announcing its surrender to the Chinese army. The remaining cruisers, destroyers, and even torpedo boats and gunboats, after losing the sharpness of resistance, all raised the white flag at the first time, expressing their sincerity in surrendering to the Chinese Air Force, which was still soaring in the sky ....

"Okay, okay... It was really a hard fight....a light aircraft carrier, a cruiser, three destroyers, and dozens of gunboats and torpedo boats actually surrendered voluntarily under our oppression....this time, with the addition of these warships, our Chinese Navy can finally become an army....Quickly, immediately send a report to the front-line command and report to the two bosses... In addition, report the news of the surrender of the Japanese detachment to Commander Chen Shaokuan of the Navy, and ask the naval fleet to come immediately to receive the surrendered fleet of the Japanese army and take care of the Japanese prisoners. If nothing else, there must be a lot of big fish among these captives. After all, they are all some noble soldiers in the Japanese army..."Commander Wang Guangfu, who looked excited, looked at the fleet that had surrendered, and ordered very decisively.

"Yes, division commander...."

On the huge deck of the flagship of the Chinese Navy, Commander Chen Shaokuan and Political Commissar Zhang Aiping stood at the bow of the ship, holding binoculars, looking at the battlefield of naval warfare that was getting closer and closer to them. The hurried footsteps of the combat staff officer reached the ears of the two of them in a very timely manner.

Before Commander Chen Shaokuan could ask a question, the excited voice of the operational staff officer rang out.

"The report commander, political commissar, and commander of the 1st Air Force Division, Wang sent a telegram that the Japanese detachment had raised the white flag and surrendered all of them under the repeated attacks and oppression of our 1st Air Force Division. Division Commander Wang hopes that we can hurry to the battlefield and receive the surrendered fleet of the Japanese army and all the surrendered prisoners of the Japanese army...."

"No wonder I heard the sound of gunfire on the battlefield, it turned out that the little devil surrendered... Okay, tell Division Commander Wang that our naval fleet will arrive at the battlefield in ten minutes at most. At the same time, in the name of the Navy as a whole, thank you. Thank you to him for capturing so many advanced ships for our Chinese Navy...."After a short surprise, Commander Chen Shaokuan ordered with an excited face.

"Yes, Commander...."

"In addition, all ships were ordered, and a part of the officers and men were detached, and they were ready to receive the surrendered warships of the Japanese army. You know, these warships are the latest destroyers and cruisers in the world, no matter what, we have to capture them intact, bring them back to the port, and equip our naval forces...."Chen Shaokuan continued to order.

Nearly 100 fighters of various kinds of the 1st Air Division were under the cover of the fierce eye, and the equipment of the Chinese fleet was very backward in the eyes of the Japanese army. However, the entire fleet, still without paying any price, easily accepted the surrender of all the fleets by Japan. Then, under the escort of the planes, the entire fleet slowly headed for Shanghai, the closest to the battlefield.

At this very moment, the news of the victory of the 1st Air Division and the successful capture of all the Japanese ships by the Navy had been transmitted by telegram to the enemy's headquarters in front of Nanjing.

"Good news, boss, commander-in-chief, good news....The good news of the 1st Air Division and Commander Chen of the Navy has arrived...."Receiving this exciting news, Chief of Staff Zuo Quan was the first to rush into the office and exclaimed with excitement.

"What is the specific content...."Liu Hua, who has been full of confidence in the entire battle from the front of the station to the present, did not show too excited looks, and asked calmly.

"At the cost of the loss of three fighters and the sacrifice of one pilot, the 1st Air Division forced the entire Japanese detachment to surrender to our troops. Our naval units, under the escort cover of the 1st Air Division, smoothly received the entire detachment. According to the telegram sent by Commander Chen of the Navy, all the ships of the entire detachment were damaged to a certain extent by the blows of our air force, except for some of the air defense weapons. None of the ship's guns, nor power systems, nor even the ship's armor, were damaged. It only needs to be repaired simply, and it can be put into service in the navy...."Zuo Quan replied with an excited face. …,

"Okay, good, good fight....Comrade Liu Hua, through this battle, we will rely on the ships of the Japanese detachment that we have successfully captured. Our naval forces can finally raise their eyebrows and truly become an army. Okay..."After listening to the report, the boss slapped the table in front of him excitedly. Then, he praised very excitedly.

Immediately after, Liu Hua continued to ask, "What now?" What's going on now... With so many warships captured by naval forces, a large port must be needed for anchorage. At the same time, all kinds of weapons destroyed on the warship must be replenished and repaired as soon as possible...."

"Report to the two bosses, Commander Chen of the Navy report, because at the same time as capturing the warship, more than 1,000 officers and soldiers below Rear Admiral Sasaki of the Japanese army were also captured, and more importantly, among the more than 1,000 captives, many of them were descendants of high-ranking and nobles in Japan, and even more, several descendants of the Japanese imperial family were found."

Commander Chen suggested that in order to better repair these warships and allow them to recover their combat effectiveness as soon as possible, equip the naval forces. At the same time, in order to send these prisoners to the headquarters earlier. He hoped that our army units would immediately launch an attack on Shanghai and take the Shanghai Naval Port... At that time, the naval units will provide support to our army units with naval guns. In addition, Commander Wang of the 1st Air Force Division also agreed to this suggestion, and at the same time, he would transfer the combat planes of a bomber regiment to provide effective air support to the army...."Zuo Quan, chief of staff, replied.

"Comrade Liu Hua, judging from the telegram, our Commander Chen Shaokuan can't wait, and wants to let a few warships equip the troops as soon as possible....Take the Shanghai Naval Port, this suggestion is good. After all, after several years of development, the Japanese government has built the port of Shanghai into a veritable military port. With all kinds of equipment in the military port, there is absolutely no problem in repairing these damaged warships...."After a short period of contemplation, the boss spoke.

Seeing the boss's gaze, I was thinking of the current situation. After less than half a minute of thinking, a specific tactic appeared in Liu Hua's mind.

"Commander-in-chief, I have an idea, I don't know...."Facing the commander-in-chief in front of him, Liu Hua said.

"Say..."

"As far as I know, in our navy fleet, except for some officers and men who have been serving in the navy, the remaining officers and men are all elite officers and men drawn from the army?" Liu Hua asked.

"Well, of all the officers and men who went to sea with the fleet this time, about a thousand were from the army. And in order for the navy to develop quickly, these 1,000 army forces that were transferred were the elite of our various field units...," the commander-in-chief replied affirmatively.

"A thousand people, that's enough...."Speaking of this, the corners of Liu Hua's mouth immediately showed a sneer, and he replied very decisively...

"Commander-in-chief, according to intelligence, the total strength of the Japanese army stationed in Shanghai is only one brigade. And among the troops of this brigade and regiment, there are only less than two infantry wings, that is, more than 5,000 people, who can really be put into battle. In addition, Shanghai is located on the coast, can be supported by naval guns at any time, and is located in the hinterland of the Japanese occupation zone. Therefore, the entire Shanghai garrison troops, because of the light enemy of the Japanese army, were hardly equipped with any heavy weapons"

"Looking at our army, because of the last counteroffensive, a main force division and a heavy artillery regiment were stationed in the surrounding areas of Shanghai, watching every move of the Japanese army in Shanghai, and the total strength reached an astonishing 10,000 people. At the same time, in order to better recover Shanghai, after this period of hard work, our intelligence personnel, through various means, have successively sent more than 1,000 elites to the city of Shanghai, lurking in all corners of the city. Coupled with the 1,000 elite army that our naval forces can still draw in battle, the total strength of our army has reached 12,000, which is twice the number of soldiers that can be fought by the Japanese army..."..., for Liu Hua's introduction, the boss nodded very approvingly. After thinking for a short time, he said: "Comrade Liu Hua, although our army has an absolute superiority in both strength and firepower. However, we still have to be cautious about the battle to recover Shanghai. ”

"Shanghai, as the only modern city in China, if nothing else, only with its influence and status in the whole world and the millions of people living in Shanghai, we cannot let this modern city become a pile of rubble in the war. Do you have any specific thoughts on the battle to recover Shanghai...."

"Commander-in-Chief, I understand what you said... My specific idea was that the army units on the ground would attack Shanghai from the south, west, and north at the same time, so as to firmly attract the main forces of the Japanese army to their positions outside the city. After the battle began, our troops lurking in the city of Nanjing quickly captured all key points and important facilities in the city by means of surprise attacks. The naval forces quickly occupied the port by way of sneak attack, and the entire military port was completely preserved. Then, the internal and external flanking attacks, in cooperation with the army troops, completely annihilated the Japanese defenders in Shanghai..."Liu Hua replied.

Seeing Liu Hua with a confident face in front of him, the commander-in-chief immediately put his eyes on Zuo Quan in front of him, and asked: "Comrade Zuo Quan, what do you think...."

"Boss, I completely agree with the commander-in-chief...."Zuo Quan replied affirmatively.

"Okay, since that's the case, then let's fight like this....Comrade Liu Hua, it's still the same, I'm staying here, waiting for your good news...."The commander-in-chief replied affirmatively.

"Yes, boss, I promise to complete the task...."
