In Shanghai, with the explosion of a series of 152-millimeter shells, the Hongkou Japanese Marine Corps Headquarters finally collapsed, burying the remnants of more than 400 Japanese soldiers at the same time, but also announced the end of an era, but Song Xilian and Sun Yuanliang, who participated in the war, did not dare to take the slightest rest, directly handed over the work of cleaning up the battlefield to the Shanghai Police Corps, and then immediately rushed to the next battlefield.

Jin Shanwei, under the cover of the huge fleet, braved the bombs that fell from time to time overhead, the third and ninth divisions of the Japanese army began to forcibly land, and no one stopped them on the beachhead, and it was Wang Jingjiu's 87th Division who defended here, and he was not a fool, so 10,000 people were crowded within the range of the Japanese ship's guns, and I am afraid that it would not take an hour to be all bombed into slag.

Although the bald guy repeatedly ordered him to annihilate the enemy on the beachhead, this guy still stubbornly deployed all the main forces on the north bank of the Huangpu River, which is close to 30 kilometers away from the coast, even the main guns of the Japanese battleships don't want to hit themselves, and the heavy artillery battalion of the 36th Division, which has just arrived from Shanghai to reinforce him, can directly hit the coast with six 130mm cannons, and more importantly, the 10th Artillery Regiment is also about to arrive, plus these 30 130 cannons, he can turn Jinshanwei into a hell for the Japanese army.

However, this obviously disobedient behavior greatly annoyed the bald man, and when the Japanese landing force stepped onto the beach under the bombardment of the Chinese air force, Wang Jingjiu was dismissed from his post and retained in his post, and the order to make meritorious service was also sent to his headquarters.

In fact, he can't blame the bald guy for this, as the boss, he naturally has to consider not as simple as Wang Jingjiu, so simple, let the Japanese army land on the land of China, even if they can't break through the defense line after landing, this is in the eyes of those who are staring at him preparing to pick bones in the eggs. It can already be rendered as a defeat, not to mention that if the Japanese army does not attack north after landing, but breaks through the Zhapingjia line to the west, even the few security regiments that hurriedly go over to guard now will definitely not be able to hold even the strongest defense line, once this carefully constructed defense line is broken. Then he will become a laughing stock again.

"Commander, now that the south bank is completely within the range of the Japanese naval guns, their heavy cruisers can even directly hit the Huangpu River, in this case, taking the initiative to attack is completely tantamount to suicide, and I can't exchange the lives of more than 10,000 brothers for my own future.

Now our best option is to abandon the south and east part of the Huangpu River, avoid the Japanese naval guns, and give full play to the advantages of those heavy guns in our hands, whether it is 130 cannons or 152 self-propelled guns. Even the German-made 150 howitzers, which far exceeded the range of the Japanese army artillery, with them to provide artillery suppression, and then relying on the Huangpu River, we can calmly hold this line of defense, at this time, the more Japanese troops landed on the south bank, the more they died, so to speak, as long as our shells continued. The south of the Huangpu River will become a cemetery for the Japanese army, and as many people will die.

Even the Air Force also has no need to waste valuable fighters. They don't need to attack the Japanese fleet at all now, just let them land, and then keep the fighters to provide air cover for our artillery, if all the fighters are consumed just to stop the Japanese army, then what will we do to control the air in the future?" Wang Jingjiu stiffened his neck and refused Zhang Zhizhong's attack order to come and give him personally.

"So what if the Japanese army attacks the Zhapingjia line?" Zhang Zhizhong said with a gloomy face that the little assistant police officer has also cultivated the prestige of the superior over the years.

"That line of defense doesn't make much sense anymore. Then there was no need to think about it anymore, and it was impossible for the Japanese army to ignore Shanghai and attack westward, and even if they went west, they would be able to occupy Yuhang at most. Blowing up the Qiantang River Bridge can block them on the north bank, and then we can lock up the entire theater of operations by sealing Huzhou, so that we can block the Japanese army in the closed area east of Huzhou, Taihu Lake, south of the Huangpu River, and north of the Qiantang River. To give up the conditions that are most favorable to us and instead challenge the guns of the Japanese naval battleships is tantamount to death. Wang Jingjiu said.

Zhang Zhizhong is not a fool, although the little assistant police officer is not a famous general, but Wang Jingjiu has said everything so clearly, he can naturally understand, but the problem is that the bald guy has already given a strict order, and it is obviously a little irrational to continue to provoke him in this situation.

"Heping, no matter what, you can't sit back and watch the Japanese army set foot on our land like this." He said in a slower tone.

The meaning is already obvious, even if you are pretentious, you have to take the initiative to attack.

Wang Jingjiu gritted his teeth, looked at the group of brigade commanders and regiment commanders around him, it was obvious that this was a job that made people die, he was hesitating, Sun Yuanliang arrived.

"What are you doing here? Just watching the Japanese land?" He yelled at Wang Jingjiu with a righteous and awe-inspiring expression, he has now been dismissed by the bald guy, and he has made meritorious contributions to see the after-effects, and now he is on fire in his heart, I don't know how many times Lu Dao has scolded the Japanese, when will you not be able to fight? But when Lao Tzu went out to pick up girls, he played? If you don't make any more great contributions, I'm afraid you will fall out of favor with the chairman of the committee in the future

So after understanding the current situation, he immediately knew that his opportunity had come, and this thing sneered at Wang Jingjiu with contempt, and then led the 88th Division to kill the Huangpu River violently.

As soon as Zhang Zhizhong saw that someone was in battle, he naturally didn't have to worry about the bald guy making trouble for him, and after dropping a sentence to cooperate with the 88th Division's attack, he patted Pigu and left, and now Wang Jingjiu was also dumbfounded, follow or not? A group of officers stared wide-eyed.

Wang Jingjiu gritted his teeth and said: "The 259th Brigade crossed the river and followed them, but don't follow too closely, keep a certain distance and see the situation."

The commander of the 259th Brigade, Shen Fazao, nodded understandingly, and then led his subordinates to prepare to support Sun Yuanliang.

And at this time, Song Xilian also arrived, and he came with the Ninth Artillery Regiment, he was very much in agreement with Wang Jingjiu's defensive strategy, he was more courageous than Wang Jingjiu, and when he saw this situation, the two of them arranged the defense after Sun Yuanliang's defeat in advance.

Sun Yuanliang was full of ambition to kill Jinshanwei, at this time the Japanese landing force was less than a brigade, and under the attack of the Chinese Air Force overhead, the situation was not very good, if he could kill Jinshanwei. Maybe you can really pick up a big bargain, but unfortunately you haven't waited to see the Japanese army! The Japanese reconnaissance troops that came out of the front discovered him, and then the location coordinates were sent to the Japanese fleet, and then there was overwhelming artillery fire, and Sun Yuanliang lost half a regiment in the first round of shelling alone.

This thing was stupid all of a sudden, he was not very bold. He was notoriously known for his love of running away on the battlefield, and was almost shot by a skinhead for it, and under such shelling, that little ambition to make a contribution disappeared in an instant, and then turned around and ran.

But at this time, it was not easy to run, not to mention the 356-mm main guns on the battleships, or the 203-mm main guns on the Kaohsiung-class heavy cruisers, it was easy to hit more than 20 kilometers, and these terrifying shells fell among the soldiers of the 88th Division all the time along Sun Yuanliang's escape route, a short distance of more than ten kilometers. More than half of the brigade died in vain, and the commander of the 264th Brigade, Huang Meixing, was blown up to the ground.

Shen Fazao, who was far behind them, immediately turned around and withdrew to the north bank of the Huangpu River without hesitation when he saw the explosion of the battleship's main gun shells in the direction of Jinshanwei, and when the battleship's main gun shells exploded, he immediately turned around and withdrew to the north bank of the Huangpu River without hesitation. Dejected, he escaped from the range of the Japanese naval guns, and then rushed across the Huangpu River in a chaotic manner.

It's also a classmate. They all ate wowotou together, Wang Jingjiu and Song Xilian didn't stimulate him much, but let him retreat to the rear of the defense line to sort out the troops, at this time Zhang Zhizhong also came, and when he saw this situation, there was naturally nothing to say, and after expressing regret to Huang Meixing who died in the battle. It was concluded that it was indeed not suitable for the initiative to attack, so Wang Jingjiu's defensive arrangement was naturally approved by him, and as the commander-in-chief of the group army, he also made appropriate arrangements, such as taking advantage of the fact that the Japanese army was still landing. Sun Yuanliang's troops were quickly replenished to the Zhapingjia line, and they must hold on until Zhang Fakui's Eighth Army arrived.

At this time, the Tenth Army led by Chen Cheng has also begun to arrive one after another, and began to fill the defense line in the downtown area of Shanghai, and the attack of the naval air force on the Japanese fleet has also stopped, not because of Wang Jingjiu's strategic design, but because the bald guy really can't bear the loss of these baby bumps, so far he has lost eight twin demons, six thunder, of course, the results in exchange for the battle are also very brilliant, sinking four troop carriers, three destroyers, and a light cruiser, but this loss is insignificant to the Japanese, But he lost almost a third of the main force of the air force.

Without the threat overhead, the landed Japanese troops soon began to attack northward, and the Battle of Huangpu River, which was later described by newspapers as the Oriental Somme, began in this way.

At this time, Boss Yang was lying in the summer sun with Bogomolov, smiling like two weasels who had stolen chickens.

"Yang, I have to say that you are very strategic, since the Japanese army started a war in Shanghai, it will definitely not trouble us again." Bogomolov said with a thumbs up, he was talking about the strategic analysis concocted by Yang Feng.

"That's natural, but we can't look at the excitement like this, you have to understand that the more ruthless the fight in the south, the easier it will be on our side, and we must let Chairman Chiang and the Japanese fight for a long time, but in this way we must fight for industrial strength, although I have made some preparations in this regard, but compared to Japan is still much worse in scale, so I hope that your country can provide some military assistance to Nanjing, which is very beneficial to both of us."

For example, airplanes, the production of my fighters is not high, and the lightning relies heavily on American accessories, although the Thunder is better in this regard, but due to the number of skilled workers, it can build less than 20 planes at most per month, which will definitely not be able to support the war consumption, so if your country can help a batch, it is best to even assist the pilots, then it will definitely be of great help to help Nanjing drag down the Japanese. Yang Feng said.

This time, Joseph picked up such a big bargain, so naturally he had to give him some blood, and the aid to China that had been in history was naturally indispensable in this time and space.

"Of course, in fact, Nanjing is in contact with our country, and Comrade Stalin is also very much looking forward to assisting the Chinese people in their anti-Japanese struggle." Bogomolov said that he was telling the truth, because of the aggressiveness of the Japanese, the bald man had completely let go of his antipathy to Joseph.

After sending the goods away, Yang Feng had a meeting with Todman, who had just returned from Japan, and this time was in Sino-Japanese relations. He can be said to be heartbroken, and the whole person is haggard.

"Oscar, you don't care about them anymore, the Japanese will fight if they want to, and they will suffer when the time comes, maybe one day they will take the initiative to find you and beg for mercy in Nanjing!" Yang Feng said.

"Yang. Now this situation is the last thing Your Excellency wants to see, and the war between two friends has made it difficult for him to sleep, so why can't you live in peace?" Todman said with a sullen expression.

"Oscar, it's not that we don't want to live in peace with the Japanese, you see that we have endured their encroachment on several provinces of us, it can be said that we have shown great sincerity, but the Japanese are always greedy, so we can't tolerate it all the time, right?

But I don't think it should have any impact on the relationship between your country and us. Regardless of whether we go to war with the Japanese or not, Germany will always be our friend, and I believe that the chairman of the committee thinks so too, that the army that your country has helped us build has become a pillar on the battlefield, that they have just wiped out the Japanese marines in Shanghai, and that they are now blocking the Japanese landing force on the defense line of the Huangpu River, and that your country has designed a defense line for us. It is also playing a huge role. Yang Feng said that he had to hold Adolf. Speaking of which, this guy is still too honest, originally in history he admitted that Manchukuo can be said to be a huge mistake, and this time and space resolutely cannot let this kind of thing happen.

"Yang, please rest assured that no matter how the situation changes, our friendship will not change." Toddman said with a look of sincerity. Of course, there should be no doubt about this, now that Adolf needs Yang Feng more and more, it is not easy to get rid of this guy.

"By the way, Yang, General Guderian proposed. I hope to be able to communicate with the Pingjin security division militarily, I don't know if you agree. Todman continued.

"Of course you're welcome, so be it, I just lack pilots in dive bombing, and your air force seems to be building a dive bombing unit, so why don't I choose a group of pilots, and bring a few more Skyhawks to your Germany, let's work together." Yang Feng said that this was what he had been looking forward to for a long time.

"Yes, I think the Ministry of Defense will agree." Todman said.

Then came Todman, who was Shinrokuro Hidaka, and now Yang Feng was a pivotal figure in China, and if he openly helped the bald guys, that is, directly sent troops to the war, then the Japanese really had to think about it.

"Your Excellency, I deeply regret the conflict between your country and our army in Shanghai. Do you have to use a knife or a gun? Do you think we're doing a good job between us? If there is anything, sit down and talk about everything, and you can always find a better way to solve it, and the affairs of the dead are not good for anyone. Yang Feng said with a regretful expression, as if the 100,000 Japanese who were killed by him some time ago did not exist.

"Mr. Yang, the current situation is also what our government does not want to see, but the Nanjing side has misunderstood us too deeply, I think it will be difficult to sit down calmly and resolve differences through negotiation in a short period of time, and some small conflicts will definitely continue to occur, so we must know what position you will hold in the conflict between us." Hidaka Shinrokuro said.

Yang Feng sighed helplessly, and then said with a sad face: "How can I answer you?" I think you understand your feelings very well, and I am an official of the people, and if the chairman of the committee has any clear orders, I will not be able to disobey them, but I think that as long as the scope of the conflict does not involve my defense area, I will not do anything outside the scope of my duties. ”

"Can you be more explicit? Let's say a clear boundary. Shinrokuro Hidaka said.

"In terms of boundaries, first of all, the north of the Yellow River must not be affected, and Shandong is also within this range, as for other places, this is not something I need to care about." Yang Feng said.

"Can you represent the generals Han Fuyu, Yu Xuezhong, and Song Zheyuan?" Shinrokuro Hidaka asked.

"No, I can only represent Pingjin, but I don't think they will have any interest in things other than their duties." Yang Feng said.

That's fine, Hidaka Shinrokuro didn't expect any surprises, and it was enough to get a guarantee that Yang Feng would not openly participate in the war, as for whether he would provide arms to Nanjing, just think about it, you know that Lu Dao will definitely do it, and if you want to let Boss Yang let go of the matter of making a fortune, it is simply asking him to die, but they also have a way to deal with this.

Besides, his military industrial base in Chongqing is prepared for this situation at first glance, and this goods have been preparing for several years in advance in order to make this war money, so how can he let it go when it is really used now?

As for the other warlords in the north, their interest in helping Nanjing is probably lower than Yang Feng, as long as Yang Feng does not take the lead, they have absolutely no possibility of participating in the war, to be honest, Nanjing can fall into the flames of war, I am afraid that they are stealing fun at this time.
