Volume 1: Battle of Songhu Chapter 102 A glimmer of life

Yangshupu Naval Club, Central China Front Command.

Based on the situation map of the Chinese and Japanese armies and the rehearsal for the next two days, Nagayong made a slideshow for senior generals such as Matsui Ishine, Mamoru Iinuma and Tsukada Tsukasa.

Little Japan's secret service has some means, the eighty-five divisions of the national army on the Songhu battlefield, they have at least eighty divisions, Chang Yong's slides are also very exquisite, and its professionalism is even no less than a miniature movie, even Matsui Ishone, an old devil, nodded again and again.

Appearing on the big screen is the topographic map of Songhu, Pudong, Nanshi, Huxi, Jiading, Nanxiang and the vicinity of Jiading and Nanxiang are covered with dense blue dots, each blue dot here represents a division of the national army, nearly 100 blue dots are intertwined with each other, forming an irregular curve in the west of Shanghai.

The five red arrows representing the five field divisions of the Japanese army take the Lion Forest and Wusong as the starting point, and extend a little bit towards the west of Shanghai through Luodian and Dachang, and the irregular curve composed of hundreds of blue dots retreats a little towards the west of Shanghai under the squeeze of the five red arrows, and retreats to the west of Nanxiang and the south of the Wusong River.

When another huge red arrow marked with the words "Tenth Army" came out of Jinshanwei and quickly ran north through Songjiang County, nearly 100 blue dots near Pudong, Nanshi, Huxi, Jiading and Nanxiang quickly converged into more than a dozen small blue arrows, extending towards Taicang, Kunshan, and Qingpu.

At this time, a red arrow from Songjiang County extends to the north, pointing directly to Qingpu, and another red arrow is also separated from Liuhe Town, pointing to Taicang in the south, from Pudong, Nanshi, Huxi and Jiading, Nanxiang near the west of more than a dozen blue arrows in the south and north under the squeeze of two red arrows, one south and one north, shrinking to the middle, and finally converged into two huge blue arrows, close to the north and south banks of the Wusong River to Anting.

The two red arrows representing the Japanese army, one south and one north, continued to squeeze in the middle, and took the first step to complete the convergence in Anting, and then the two huge blue arrows that extended close to the Wusong River collided, and after a while, the red and blue arrows intersected, and the image of the explosion flashed on the screen, and then the blue arrows collapsed, and the slideshow was finished.

"Yo Si." After reading the slides, Matsui Shigen praised repeatedly, "Changsang, you have done a very good job in the war game deduction, and the war game deduction of the front army in the future will be done according to this plan." ”

However, before Matsui Shigen's words fell, a staff officer of Shao Zuo hurriedly walked in and reported: "Your Excellency, the agent lurking in Nanjing has just sent back news from the Xiangshang Sea secret service that the 6th Division has changed its route and is heading to Kunshan. ”

"Nani?" Matsui Ishine was stunned when he heard this, and Nagayong and generals such as Mamoru Iinuma and Tsukada Tsukashi also looked at each other.

Matsui Ishine didn't believe it at first, and the Japanese Army's adjutant staff officers had always had a tradition of following the restraints, but there had never been a situation of a divisional and regimental commander openly disobeying military orders, but for the sake of safety, the old devil still asked the chief of staff, Mamoru Iinuma, to send a telegram to Yanagawa Heisuke, the commander of the 10th Army.

Iinuma Mamoru went for a moment, and soon returned to the combat command hall.

Seeing Mamoru Iinuma's face pale, Matsui Ishone's heart suddenly snapped and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Iinuma Mamoru stood up and said, "Your Excellency, the 6th Division only sent an infantry brigade north along the Songjia Highway, but the main force of the division was organized into a Sakai detachment, and it went straight to Kunshan along the Qingkun Highway. ”

"Eight Grids!" Matsui Ishine was so angry that he threw the teacup in his hand to the ground.

Because the Shanghai Dispatch Army was not effective in combat and performed poorly, Matsui Shigen held back his strength and wanted to encircle the national army in western Shanghai, which is indeed true, but to say that he deliberately suppressed the Tenth Army, but secretly left the first credit to the Shanghai Dispatch Army, but he wronged people, Gu Shoufu, the old devil, inevitably underestimated Matsui Shigen.

Tsukada Tsuka, chief of staff of the Central China Front Army, who had just arrived, was stunned and said: "Your Excellency, General, although the 6th Division's move is suspected of disobeying military orders, if it can really seize Kunshan, it is very likely that the hundreds of thousands of troops that have retreated from Anting will also be encircled again, which is not a good move?" ”

Matsui Ishine said: "Tsukada-san, things are not so simple. ”

Mamoru Iinuma said: "Tsukada-san has just arrived in Shanghai, and he has not had much contact with the Chinese army, but don't underestimate the Chinese army because the 10th Army has made rapid progress since the landing of Jinshanwei, the 6th Division's steps are a little big, and it is likely to be disjointed, and it will not be able to form an echo with the 11th Division going south, I am afraid that it will suffer." ”

"Really?" Tsukada said lightly, "It shouldn't be, right?" ”

Iinuma Mamoru frowned, and didn't say anything more, if he said a few more words, maybe Tsukada really thought that he couldn't see the meritorious service of the Tenth Army, and he was deliberately favoring Shanghai to send a command, but he couldn't withdraw the 44th Infantry Wing, which was advancing along the Songjia Highway towards Anting, and turned around to attack Kunshan, because there was already fire there.

White Crane Port, 19th Brigade Brigade Headquarters.

Xu 19 has been staring at the map for a while, although there are very few signs about the Japanese army on the map, and even the signs of the national army are very few, but Xu 19 can still rely on limited information to basically deduce the current situation of the Chinese and Japanese armies, the situation is very obvious, the national army is facing an unprecedented crisis!

At the same time that the 6th Division of the Japanese Army went north to Anting, as a countermeasure, the 11th Division in the north must also have moved south, if these two divisions meet in Anting or Kunshan, then the 80 divisions of the national army on the Songhu battlefield will be in a catastrophe, at least the vast majority of the national army will have no way to escape.

Gao Shenxing also saw the seriousness of the problem, and said in a low voice: "Captain, the main force of the 6th Division of the Japanese Army suddenly abandoned Anting and took Kunshan, the situation will only be worse than now, Anting still has 14 divisions in Anting, and there are also our 19th brigade in Baihe Port, but over there in Kunshan, I am afraid that there is only a local security team." ”

Xu Shijiu just nodded subconsciously and didn't say anything

Gu Wei didn't expect this layer yet, and said disapprovingly: "Do you care if he Kunshan lives or dies?" The main force of the 6th Division went to Kunshan, and the pressure on our side was lightened, which is a good thing. ”

Gao Shenxing said: "But have you thought about it, if Kunshan is lost, our hold on to Baihegang will be meaningless, and the more than 80 divisions and more than 500,000 people who have been withdrawn from the battlefield in western Shanghai will also be in danger!" ”

When Gu Wei landed his gaze on the map again, his face suddenly became extremely embarrassed.

After staring at the map for a long time, Xu Shijiu suddenly thought of a question and asked the one-eyed dragon: "Ah Long, how many Japanese soldiers did you just say that they continued to go north along the Songjia Highway?" ”

The one-eyed dragon said: "It's almost an infantry brigade." ”

"One brigade, only one brigade?" Xu Shijiu muttered and fell into deep thought.

Gao Shenxing also said: "This is indeed a bit strange, as far as I know, there are more than 20,000 people in a permanent division in small Japan, if you count the reserve infantry regiment that goes out with the army, the strength of a division may even exceed 40,000 people, even if the main force of the 6th Division has gone to Kunshan, it should not only send an infantry brigade to the north?" ”

Deputy Captain Gu Wei said: "What's so strange about this, little Japan is crazy." ”

Gao Shenxing shook his head and said: "No, no matter how arrogant Little Japan is, it will never be arrogant enough to think that only one infantry brigade can take Baihe Port and then Anting." ”

"Then there's only one possibility." Gu Wei said, "Little Japan has so little mobile force left. ”

Hearing Gu Wei's words, Xu Shijiu's heart suddenly moved, and he immediately turned his head and asked the one-eyed dragon: "Ah Long, how many people are the main force of the Japanese army going to Kunshan along the Qingkun Highway?" ”

"Well, I can't tell......," the one-eyed dragon scratched his head, but then continued, "There must be several thousand people, and there are many vehicles, and the convoy is more than ten miles long." ”

"Are you sure there are only a few thousand, not tens of thousands?"

"There are definitely no tens of thousands of people, and there are only six or seven thousand people who die."

"The main force of the 6th Division is only six or seven thousand people?" The vague thought in Xu Jiu's heart was becoming clearer and clearer, and he asked the one-eyed dragon again, "So, how many devil soldiers are left in Qingpu County?" ”

"There are no soldiers in Qingpu County." The one-eyed dragon said without thinking, "The little devil is not stationed in the county seat, but has left a military station in Sheshan Town, and there are almost four or five hundred people left." ”

"And so it was!" Xu Jiu slammed the knot and said in a deep voice, "Little Japan is too crazy!" ”

Little Japan is so crazy that it inadvertently reveals a flaw, and if this flaw is used well, the more than 80 divisions and more than 500,000 troops withdrawn from Huxi may still have a glimmer of life!

Gu Wei, Gao Shenxing, One-Eyed Dragon and other officers looked over one after another, and Xu Shijiu pointed to the map and said: "As Gu Wei said, the reason why Little Japan only sent an infantry brigade to attack Baihe Port is not because they don't want to send more troops to come, but because their troops have all been scattered, just like sprinkling pepper noodles, I'm afraid they will be scattered everywhere." ”

"Can't you?" Gao Shenxing frowned and said, "It is said that the Japanese army that landed from Jinshanwei has three divisions!" ”

"Little Japan has a big heart." Xu 19 patted the map and said in a deep voice, "The Battle of Songhu has not yet ended, they have already aimed at Nanjing, and the main force of the Japanese army that landed from Jinshanwei is afraid that they have already rushed to Jiaxing and Pingwang, otherwise, the small Japanese Weishenme only sent the 6th Division to attack Songjiang and Qingpu?" ”

"Nanjing?!" Gao Shenxing, Gu Wei, One-Eyed Dragon and others all changed color.

Gao Shen said: "Captain, even if the strength of the 6th Division has been fully used, and the troops sent to attack Kunshan are only six or seven thousand infantry brigades, it is still an irresistible force for our army. ”

"Shen Xing, you are right, the security team in Kunshan City alone and the remnants of the division withdrawn from Huxi cannot stop the main force of the Japanese 6th Division, but ......" Speaking of this, Xu Nineteen paused, his eyes swept over everyone's faces, and said, "But don't forget, there is also our Nineteenth Brigade." ”

"Our Nineteenth Brigade?" Gao Shenxing frowned and said nothing, Gu Wei and the one-eyed dragon were also confused, the 19th Brigade and Kunshan are separated by hundreds of miles, so they are afraid that they will not have time to fly over if they put on their wings, and the 19th Brigade is only more than 800 people, what use can they do in the face of an infantry brigade of the Japanese army?
