Chapter 48: Smashed in the foot

The short reception banquet ended in a heavy atmosphere, and the war was imminent, and there was no time to spend time on eating and drinking. After a hasty finish, everyone went back to their respective homes, and hurried back to make adjustments while there was still time. The strength of the Japanese is there, and the tactics used are understood, which is much better than fighting them without knowing anything.

Pay attention to strengthening the flanks to eliminate the threat of the enemy's flanks and force the enemy to attack from the position head-on, so as to inflict maximum damage on the enemy. The trenches were reinforced with anti-artillery, and the newly equipped Bofors mountain guns and M1919 mountain guns were flexibly used to suppress the enemy's artillery and attacking infantry, and small-caliber mortars were used to suppress the opponent's grenadiers...... After understanding, many areas can be improved, as for the training and marksmanship of soldiers, there is no way for a while, so they can only be put on for later training.

Everyone hurriedly went back to prepare for the war, but they didn't reject Wen Hui so much, at least this businessman still knew some military strategies, Wen Hui also initially gained the trust of friendly troops, and he could rely on them in battle, after all, fighting alone is simply sending him to death, and if he wants to achieve results or protect himself, he must cooperate with friendly troops.

"Aren't you afraid of scaring them?" Ryuji hurriedly asked.

"This is not the 38th or 39th year that the Japanese have been afraid of, but now it is the early stage of the war, and the soldiers are holding back their blood. It is better to let them have a clear understanding of the enemy and reduce the casualties by a few points, than to sum up experience with human lives in actual combat. In the next two years, I will never produce this kind of information, and it will only undermine the confidence of resistance. ”

"Then why didn't you take it out sooner?"

"Who believes it if you take it out earlier? Most people don't believe that there will be a war with the Japanese in 37, and they will eat ashes in some archive room when they take it out. Besides, their leaky intelligence network is like a sieve, and it won't do me any good to take it out sooner. Take it out before the war, whether they believe it or not, they will always remember that changing in advance can reduce losses, even if they don't believe it, after suffering a loss at the hands of the Japanese, they will remember it for a long time next time. ”

Wen Hui looked at the map marked with Japanese on the table, and couldn't help but roll his eyes, he didn't have time or conditions to survey and map the map, the maps in his army were all bought from military factories, but the most accurate military maps turned out to be Japanese. What an irony that the Japanese drew a map of China that was more accurate than the home-grown ones!

"Don't talk about this, do you want to order? Where is our defense zone? ”

"Not for the time being, but everything is ready, it is too necessary to prepare an independent logistics transport team, the team transporting supplies from the government has blocked the road, and many things are stuck on the road." Speaking of this, Ryuji shook his head. Let's say that their logistics are bad, it is true, the efficiency of material transportation is too poor, and many things cannot be delivered to the front line in time; However, the logistics of the state government can ensure the supply of bullets of various calibers, which has to admire their logistics.

"Then let the soldiers rest, the last leisure time." Wen Hui didn't have the heart to ask for war, it was better to recharge his energy than to be anxious to fight, "How about the front line?" ”

"It's still fighting, and they also know that the Japanese reinforcements are coming, and they want to knock down the Hongkou Naval Command. Ten Type 35 tanks were organized to attack, and at one point they all rushed in, but in the end they were driven out by the Japanese with human bombs, and both sides were uncomfortable. Ryuji handed over the latest battle report.

Gee! Wen Hui looked at the battle report, the crazy 87th and 88th Divisions No. 21 organized an armored assault, in addition to the self-explosion of human flesh, there was also sea and air support, a number of shallow water gunboats dominated by the "Yaeyama" directly drove into the Huangpu River to support, the heavy artillery regiment of the national government seriously injured three Japanese ships in the artillery battle, lightly injured two, one of the bridge was heavily damaged, the captain and a cadre of officers all died; The Japanese 96 land attack and 95 carrier-based planes in the air also launched support, and the offensive of the national army was blocked by bombing many times, and at the same time, the air force and ground air defense units of the national government also shot down eight planes and damaged 11 enemy planes, and the battle ended with the Chinese side taking the initiative to stop the attack.

"Starting work tonight, Wusong Town can't take care of it, but the combat operation in Chuansha Town can be launched. Regardless of whether they landed according to the historical plan, it is always right to scatter a circle of mines along the river, and anyway, the navy of the national government is already soaking in the bottom of the sea to raise corals. Wen Hui was very disdainful of the shipwreck of the national government to block the roadway, which kind of navy was formed in this bird-like manner, and he didn't even have the courage to sink the ship at the door of his own house, which is also the only one in the history of the navy. Rather than wasting it like this, it is better to spend the navy's money on the army, and buy a few more heavy artillery regiments.

"That's not good! After all, it's an international shipping lane. Ryuji was skeptical of his boss's crazy ideas and made a trip to the waterway......

"What's not good? What's bad? Leave a clean channel so that the Japanese can quickly transport troops and reinforcements, right? We are going to fight a blocking war in the coastal area, and when the time comes, other warships will drive in and bomb you unscrupulously, and you will not have any temper at all, and if you know that there are mines, they will not let the capital ships come this way, depending on the character of the Japanese. We are defending our homeland in a bright light, what's wrong with minelaring on our own land? ”

"But now let's talk about it, so many concessions are laying mines on the waterway...... What if someone else's ship is blown up? The Japanese did not completely block the shipping lanes at the mouth of the Yangtze River, and Chinese ships were closed to traffic, but ships from other countries were still free to sail under certain conditions. Moreover, Jiang Guangtou did not dare to lay mines, and he was still counting on international verbal assistance. "If some unlucky guy hits a mine and can't be saved, he will go directly to the bottom of the water to see the dragon king.

"Dude, what time is it? War, it's war! Who can say clearly about the headless public cases that occurred during the war, and who said that the mines are ours? Do you have your name written on it? Maybe the Japanese did it themselves, and they didn't do less than frame them. Remember! We've never seen any mines before! "Wen Huicai doesn't care so much, even if he is in trouble, he can't find his head, the headache is the Nanjing government, even if the government comes to find fault, at that time it is a question whether they dare to speak out loud to themselves.

"Got it." Seeing that Wenhui didn't change his mind, Long Si didn't persuade him. Anyway, the cargo ships (Americans) from the Yangtze River have brought in mines, so they can't be sent back.

"Sir, the headquarters of the group army telegraphed, our mission has come." Wen Hui's orderly Cheng Jun walked in with a telegram.

Wen Hui took it and took a look, and scolded directly: "Grass!" Hang as high as Haman! ”

"What's wrong?" Ryuji stretched out his head and glanced over, and immediately understood why Wen Hui would say that.

The new 148th Division was ordered to take over the defense of Chuansha Town (not today's Chuansha Town, Chuansha during the Republic of China was in the northwest corner of Luodian, by the Yangtze River, and also called Chuanshakou on some maps) and the Luodian area, and at the same time prepare to support Yuepu and Baoshan. Ensure the security of the flanks in the Shanghai area.

The results of the documents and materials handed in by Wen Hui were even better than he expected, and the first phase of Shanghai was not ideal, and the next plan of the Japanese was also discredited. At this time, the important information obtained by Wen Hui with "businessman means" will naturally attract attention, whether it is true or not, at least it is not a reference that can be made.

With such a mentality, Chen Cheng took a group of staff officers to open the document, and the troop allocation, movements, and departure time of the 3rd Division and the 11th Division increased the credibility of the intelligence by five or six points; Later, speculate on the possible landing location of the other party, there is no shortage of sand table maps in the war room here, a group of people look at Chuanshakou and Wusong Town, if they let them fight over, then the troops in the Shanghai Theater will have to be dumplings, plus the Japanese concession has not been defeated, and when the time comes, the outside will encircle the center and blossom, and this game will be completely GG Smecta!

These people still have the basic military literacy, and the more you look at the information in front of you, the more likely it is to become a reality, what should we do? I can only mobilize troops to defend, just as reinforcements are arriving one after another, and the troops in hand are quite sufficient, of course, when Big Boss Chen participated in the high-level combat meeting, he did not forget to give Wen Hui a credit.

After the meeting, the government took the lead. Zhang Zhizhong continued to be responsible for the siege of Songhu, Zhang Fakui was responsible for the defense of Pudong, and Chen Cheng was responsible for the deployment of the defense on the south bank of the Yangtze River.
