Compared with Chief Xue's calculations, Gao Jianwu didn't care about this, he just acted in accordance with the established combat policy.

After a simple cleaning of the battlefield and a night's rest, Gao Jianwu led the main force to cross the Xiangjiang River in one fell swoop, this time it was the tank attack group and the first attack group Zhang Dabiao and the second attack group Xu Shida made a big detour, and forced to break the little devil formation from the edge, and went around behind the 68th and 116th divisions.

Then Gao Jianwucai led the 4 heavy artillery regiments and the 3rd Attack Group Kong Jiebu and the 4th Attack Group Lu Fan Division to directly open the way with artillery fire, and crushed the offensive formation of the 68th and 116th divisions of the little devils in one fell swoop with a devastating posture.

Destroy their artillery power, and then crush and divide the two divisions and regiments into isolated battlefields at the level of several brigades, and the main battalions of each attack group began to launch fierce attacks at this time.

In the face of several square kilometers of chaotic battlefield, Li Xiazhong finally discovered some secrets, that is, Gao Jianwu can almost fully control in terms of command, and in the general headquarters, he knows the progress of each main battalion well.

And the heavy artillery regiments of the expeditionary force cluster are always able to follow the demand of the front line and deliver shells to the heads of the little devils in time!

In this way, the assembled imps, as well as the heavy fire points, are always focused on by the artillery in the distance, and then the attack of the infantry battalion is as smooth as flowing water.

Li Xiazhong found that the biggest mystery was hidden in Gao Jianwu's body, even if he was sitting in the command headquarters, Gao Jianwu was very clear to provide accurate artillery bombardment for the heavy artillery regiment.

To do all this, only the observation post on the front line needs to clearly describe the location characteristics of the little devils, and Gao Jianwu seems to be able to calculate their location coordinates based on these.

Li Xiazhong, a senior staff member, did not only come up by relying on connections, in fact, he was born in the artillery department and had very rich experience in the operation of artillery.

Although he felt that all this was a bit ridiculous, and it was not done by normal people at all, but from the perspective of returns, Gao Jianwu's command was extremely accurate, and he could basically hit the target without correcting it a few times.

Now Li Xiazhong has full trust in Gao Jianwu's command and reporting system, because everything is real-time, Gao Jianwu's walkie-talkie covers the entire battlefield, and every move is the result of direct observation on the spot.

No one would think of deception in such a situation, because such a direct result would lead to the death of himself and his brothers!

The huge battlefield seemed to be in Gao Jianwu's mind, and Gao Jianwu had an unusually accurate mental arithmetic, calculating the artillery shelling elements.

This was the first time Li Xiazhong had seen such an awesome artillery commander.

If he hadn't witnessed it with his own eyes, Li Xiazhong would never have believed it.

However, after watching too much, Li Xiazhong became numb, and the two divisions of the little devils had almost no power to fight back under the blows of the 4 attack groups commanded by Gao Jianwu, Li Xiazhong was simply like a dream, and saw the 2 little devil reorganized divisions and regiments destroyed again within 1 day.

In fact, Li Xiazhong had already reacted a little after being shaken numb, that is, the firepower of the expeditionary force cluster was more reluctant and accurate than any army he had seen!

The 4 heavy artillery regiments add up to more than 100 105 mm howitzers, and there are also direct howitzer battalions in the attack group itself, and each main battalion and company-level mortars are universally equipped, plus tank clusters, and the artillery equipment exceeds that of the little devils several times!

Not to mention encountering a difficult little devil artillery position, you can also call the air force for bombing support!

Under this kind of crushing firepower, Li Xiazhong had the illusion that I could do it, and felt that he had mastered the code for the expeditionary force to win the battle.

But looking back, don't you understand these things? But I just can't do it. In the national army system, it is good to have 4 82-mm mortars in a regiment of elite main forces, and a dozen or so 75-mm mountain guns in a mountain artillery battalion in a division.

Like the 105 mm howitzer, it is now only equipped on the side of the expeditionary force of the national army, and the rest of the troops are basically lost in the previous series of major wars.

For example, the 105 mm howitzer can be produced in addition to the former young marshal's arsenal, and the Jinzao and Shanghai can't be mass-produced, and the Hanyang Arsenal once imitated 2 Krupp 120mm howitzers, and the second arsenal made in Guangdong also successfully trial-produced 75 mm and 105 mm howitzers, but none of them were put into mass production.

On the one hand, of course, the production process and technology are not up to standard, and the product quality is worrying, on the other hand, there is no way to refine the steel in China, and all of it depends on imports.

So Li Xiazhong returned to the real world a little and quickly accepted his fate, Gao Jianwu's set cannot be copied at all.

Because Gao Jianwu was able to get these equipment from the United States, it was also a special product under special circumstances. At this point, it is useless even if someone wants to send a batch of troops abroad.

But there is one point, Li Xiazhong is still wrong. That is, these heavy artillery regiments of Gao Jianwu are not only American-style equipment, but also a lot of Japanese-style 105mm howitzers.

These 105mm howitzers were captured and exploded by Gao Jianwu after returning to China. Including many of them, shells are obtained in this way.

Otherwise, after losing the logistical supply, the shells of the American cannons of the Gao Jianwu Department have already hit one less shell.

Therefore, Gao Jianwu has mainly replaced the cannon with the Japanese system, so that it is convenient to supplement it on the battlefield.

Therefore, at the end of the battle, Li Xiazhong sometimes noticed that Gao Jianwu would often leave the headquarters and go to the front line, personally commanding the logistics and baggage troops besieging the little devils.

But Li Xiazhong never dreamed that Gao Jianwu would release his explosive weapons and ammunition in this way, and blend them into the actual baggage of the little devil.

In this way, Gao Jianwu's weapons and ammunition are actually more and more fought.

It's just that no one has noticed this now.

It seems that inadvertently, Gao Jianwu's expeditionary force cluster ate the three little devils' reorganized B division, although Li Xiazhong reported the battle situation as soon as possible.

But Chief Xue always felt a little unsure, and often had the illusion of doubting whether Li Xiazhong had been rebelled by the expeditionary force!

However, after the first wave of battle reports was quickly verified, even if Li Xiazhong exaggerated, Chief Xue knew that it was also true.

It's just that now the rapid advance of the expeditionary force cluster and the speed of annihilating the little devils have completely exceeded Chief Xue's best expectations, so he can't keep up with the mobilization of troops to reorganize the siege!

Therefore, Li Xiazhong put forward a new requirement for Gao Jianwu, so that the expeditionary force cluster can encircle the 34th and 58th divisions of the second line of the little devils faster, but the annihilation can be appropriately slower.

Let the little devil not retreat directly to the old nest of Hankou after these two divisions are annihilated, and Chief Xue needs time to mobilize and deploy troops to encircle the little devil's left army.

Regarding Li Xiazhong's request, Gao Jianwu was as good as a stream. After the two little devil divisions were encircled, only a small part of the troops were sent to train every day.

If the little devils try to break through, the fierce artillery fire will teach them to be ghosts!

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Gao Jianwu was collecting ships everywhere, and after solving this part of the little devils, he divided his troops into two routes, water and land, and carried most of the soldiers down the river from the Xiangjiang River to the Yangtze River, so as to reduce the fatigue of the soldiers.

And the artillery attack group and the tank attack group are mainly based on the railway movement, and under the cover of two infantry attack groups, they fight all the way down the railway!

Although there are many strongholds along the Guangdong-Hanzhou Railway, there is basically not much room for struggle in the face of artillery fire and tanks from the expeditionary force.

Seven days later, when Chief Xue commanded the Ninth War Zone to complete the encirclement of the little devil's left army, Gao Jianwu's side immediately attacked and cleanly ate the 34th and 58th divisions.

After quickly cleaning up the battlefield, Gao Jianwu collected enough ships with the cooperation of Li Xiazhong, except for the heavy equipment such as the heavy artillery regiment and the tank battalion, which could not be transported by the river, the rest of the materials were collected and transported on the ship.

Most of them were Gao Jianwu who once again opened and exploded the little devil mountain artillery and field artillery on the battlefield, and from the destruction of the five little devil integrated divisions, he added more than 200 little devil artillery pieces and a large number of artillery shells to his own troops.

Among them, there are 24 105-mm howitzers, 75 75-mm mountain guns, 28 75-mm field guns, and nearly 100 92 infantry guns, which are enough to form 2 heavy artillery battalions, 6 mountain artillery battalions, and 6 92 infantry artillery battalions.

The rest of the light and heavy weapons such as 92 heavy machine guns, crooked machine guns and 38 big covers were seized on the battlefield, and Gao Jianwu did not give up this time, and moved them directly to the ship, forming a huge fleet of transportation, these are things that can be used soon, although there is some garbage compared to American equipment, but now Gao Jianwu is about to do a big thing, and every bit of material is precious.

The entire flotilla, under the cover of the Air Force, began to flow down the Yangtze River from the Xiang River.

Kill towards the three towns of Hankou!

With the air support of the air force, Gao Jianwu, who followed the fleet down the river, appeared very quickly in the three towns of Hankou, and the four assault groups appeared on the north and south banks of the Yangtze River in Hankou, approaching the Hankou defense line of the little devils, which stunned Yokoyama Yong, who was still fighting with the Ninth Theater in the land of Sanxiang.

He never dreamed that the expeditionary force cluster that gave him a fatal knife near Tanzhou turned around and went directly to steal home!

Only two little devils who were independent mixed brigades and more than 30,000 puppet soldiers were left, trembling in the face of the expeditionary force.

Before they could react.

Song Tiecheng's assault brigade, which was ordered to attack the airport, occupied the airport at once, not to mention, but also captured 20 Nakajima-1 fighters and 5 Kawasaki 88 reconnaissance planes and 7 Kawasaki 99 twin-engine light bombers (Kawasaki light explosion) on the airfield.

The New Jianghan Cluster Assault Brigade, which has been upgraded to the level of an attack group, now has three special assault squadrons, one air assault team, one armored assault team and a huge special operations unit of a surface assault team, although the number of people is less than 1,000 people, but the combat effectiveness is no worse than that of an assault group under special circumstances.

For example, if an attack group is sent to attack the airfield in a step-by-step manner, it may not be too late to capture all the fighters of the little devils.

However, Song Tiecheng commanded two special assault squadrons to infiltrate the vicinity of the airport and launch a frontal attack, and then used the help of the two little devil armored vehicles captured by the armored commando team to annihilate all the airport guards in one fell swoop.

With such a fierce and stealthy way of attacking, the little devil can't guard against it at all!

When the heavy artillery attack group and the tank attack group broke through all the way to Hankou with the assistance of the two attack groups of the guards, Gao Jianwu used a strong deterrent to force the puppet army to surrender, and at the same time after a bloody street battle, he ate the two brigades defended by the little devils and took the three towns of Hankou!

This time, after another round of crazy explosions, Gao Jianwu took advantage of the characteristics of the large number of warehouses in the central city occupied by this little devil this time to inspect and take the opportunity to expose the Japanese weapons stocks of the four integrated divisions!

And tens of thousands of tons of grain, canned salt, sugar and other scarce materials were exposed, and dozens of urgently needed machine tools were secretly added to the Hanyang Arsenal!

Starting with this, Gao Jianwu began a large-scale reorganization of the captured puppet army and new recruits in the three towns of Hankou to expand the troops on a large scale.

Because these tasks are very standardized, these military matters and the redeployment of the three towns of Hankou were handed over to Kong Jie, Zhang Dabiao, Xu Shida, and Lu Fan to manage.

Gao Jianwu focused on urban construction, economic recovery and factory reconstruction.

......

"Commander-in-Chief Gao, how should we deal with the currency now? The panic about the currency is getting stronger every day. Li Fuqing, secretary general of the Economic Commission, who had moved from a local underground organization to a public identity, posed the first difficult problem for Gao Jianwu.

This made Gao Jianwu have a headache when he heard it.

This question is basically unsolvable for him now.

The little devil's military tickets and the fiat currency, which has long been depreciated by I don't know how many times, can't be used at all, even if Gao Jianwu seized a lot of these currencies this time, Gao Jianwu decided that he couldn't use them anymore.

"We first use the original silver dollar and copper dollar as alternative currency, and at the same time, we will issue a batch of equivalent silver dollar replacement rolls, and issue a batch of 1 yuan, 2 yuan, 5 yuan, and 10 yuan replacement rolls through the newly renamed Hansheng Bank, which we confiscated from the bank run by the little devil, and can be exchanged for silver dollars at any time, or buy equivalent grain through the government-run Hanyang Trading Company, and temporarily anchor us with silver dollars and grain." Gao Jianwu thought for a while and proposed an emergency method.

In order to stabilize local life, we must first solve the actual problems of people's livelihood. Although it is said that when the little devils occupied the three towns of Hankou, they were almost emptied at that time, but after all, this is the core of a plastered place, and after five or six years of painstaking management by the little devils, more than 1 million people have been gathered again.

With such a large population, many enemy agents hiding among them, and profiteers also taking the opportunity to make money, even if the expeditionary force cluster is famous, when dealing with these problems of price stability, the local people are always suspicious of the measures issued by Gao Jianwu.

Food prices change three times a day, and if the slightest carelessness causes some careerists to fan the flames, then the city seems to suddenly get out of control and plunge into chaos.

Gao Jianwu had to solve the currency problem first in a way that would least cost, but fortunately, there was also a banknote printing factory in Hankou, and Gao Jianwu had no problem in substituting silver dollars for roll production.

Using the assets and materials of the little devils or their overseas Chinese seized at the first time, Gao Jianwu seized hundreds of thousands of silver dollars and a batch of gold bars, plus a large amount of materials and grain, etc., and it should not be a big problem for the first batch of several million to be issued to replace the rolls.

At least in this way, Gao Jianwu can ensure the monetary credit of these alternative volumes.

Next, when Gao Jianwu has time, he will gather a group of experts to carefully build a monetary system, which is an extremely professional and huge topic, and there is no way to solve it perfectly in the short term.

Not to mention him here, the current base areas include the Jindi side, and the border coins that have been used for a long time are not very good now, and obviously a certain amount of overall planning is needed in the future.

At present, most of the tokens used in various bases are similar to Gao Jianwu's alternative volumes.

Due to the lack of corresponding reserves and materials, they do not have Gao Jianwu's current anchoring method, resulting in monetary credit and the scope of use are not too high.

Gao Jianwu is better than them in that he immediately seized all the material warehouses, company assets and various assets of expatriates controlled by the little devils!

A large number of materials and assets have been obtained, and there is a certain anchor to the issued tokens, so as to enhance the credibility of these tokens, and slowly promote these tokens to this newly occupied base and a broader place in the future.

Li Fuqing's first question was answered, although he felt that it was not perfect enough, but at present, it was only like this, it was impossible to use the military ticket of the little devil, although this time he received a lot from this big city.

That's it for the currency. Li Fuqing was not just such a question, he then asked: "How do we set the price of grain?" Now the market is very chaotic, there are more than double or even two times compared to the pre-war period, and there are also hoarders who simply do not sell! The response from the population has been overwhelming. ”

This is the most important issue involving people's livelihood, and the problem of feeding millions of people has not been solved, and it is obvious that Gao Jianwu and they will not be able to stay here!

Gao Jianwu had some ideas for such a question, and after pondering for a while at the moment, he gave a principled idea.

"We must crack down on price gouging. We have issued an announcement, stipulating that from the date of the announcement, the price of grain will not be restored to the pre-liberation sales price within three days, and if the increase exceeds 20%, it will be sealed and frozen! Our newly established public Hanyang Trading Company forcibly buys public goods at pre-war prices, and then sells them at a flat price and limited to household registration.

If the personal grain storage exceeds the family demand for more than 1 year, and the company's grain storage is not used for sale, it is welcome to report and seal up, and the public purchase will be carried out according to the price hike.

This announcement is valid for the time being, and it will be temporarily implemented until the new grain is listed this year. We must use strong means to ensure a minimum subsistence for thousands of households, and not let these profiteers fish in troubled waters. Gao Jianwu said very strongly.

If you dare to defy the wind at this time, then these businessmen are obviously profiteers, and they must not be tolerated and nurtured.

Even if this is the case, the interests of grain dealers will be greatly damaged, and it will affect their enthusiasm for distribution in the three towns of Hankou in the future, but Gao Jianwu can't manage so much now.

Now is the time to solve the urgent need.

"Commander-in-Chief Gao, now some big businessmen have their own armed escorts, and our people will be physically threatened when they go to check, how to solve this problem." Li Fuqing said again.

Now that there is a shortage of troops, many people who have the ability and means to pull up dozens or even hundreds of armed private guards, and in addition to the mixed use of various guerrilla units, the civilian armed forces have indeed affected the executive power of the grassroots units.

However, in the face of national crisis, there are not many good management methods for the guerrillas in various localities.

When Gao Jianwu heard this headache, he couldn't help but rub his forehead vigorously with his fingers, and pondered for a while before he could speak.

"In the base areas, we do not allow private individuals to possess military weapons and ammunition, and for those who have already established private armed forces, we require them to hand over the weapons and ammunition they already have, and appropriately compensate them to a certain extent. This is for the first strike group to send a company to assist you.

For their business security guards, we allow the establishment of some third-party security companies similar to dart shops. However, these security companies must be registered and supervised by our public security agencies, and in the early days, we tried to adopt a public approach, allowing the county guerrillas to set up a number of security companies with some members to provide them with business security protection services. ”

Gao Jianwu thought about some of the practices of later generations, and felt that it was better to prohibit the development of force among the people.

Especially now when the war is in chaos. Allowing some careerists to use force is very detrimental to the stability of the situation. If they had these needs, Gao Jianwu simply asked a part of the guerrillas to separate a group of people and set up a special escort company to do this.

On the one hand, these security companies can be supported by the financial resources of the private sector, and at the same time, these security companies are also supervised and trained at any time, and they are also a force that can be used in wartime.

Gao Jianwu's ideas are only a general direction, and the specific measures need to be refined and supplemented by Li Fuqing when they are implemented.

Fortunately, Li Fuqing and their ability to act are also very strong, and after a series of combination punches in just a few days, Gao Jianwu stabilized the entire situation in this big city.

Next, referring to a series of company restructuring in the Jinyang model, Gao Jianwu rebuilt a preliminary industrial management system in the three towns of Hankou.

Chief among them is the restoration of the military-industrial complex. As early as Gao Jianwu's plan to recover the three towns of Hankou, he had already sent a telegram to Jinyang Heavy Industry to request personnel support.

Over there, a team of several hundred engineers and skilled workers scattered towards the three towns of Hankou, so as soon as this side was taken, those engineers had basically just arrived here secretly.

Gao Jianwu took these people as the backbone and began to establish a new Hanyang Heavy Industry Co., Ltd., and directly incorporated the Hanyang Arsenal under the banner of Hanyang Heavy Industry.

Due to the rapid attack on the three towns of Hankou, coupled with the assistance and protection of the underground organization, the little devils did not have time to destroy the factories, Gao Jianwu went to the Hanyang Arsenal and used the secret factory they were blocked by the little devils to burst out a batch of new machine tools, plus the Hanyang Arsenal itself was built by the little devils to produce various weapons and ammunition below the 75 mm mountain cannon, the foundation is good, combined with Gao Jianwu's explosive new machine tools, in a very short time, Gao Jianwu used the core backbone of Jinyang and a group of newly recruited skilled workers, The Hanyang Arsenal has been restored to the level of the pre-war time when the little devils were under management, and the production of ammunition for large quantities of Japanese equipment has begun.

At the same time, the most elite team began to imitate and study the ammunition of a large number of U.S. weapons and equipment that Gao Jianwu had, after all, Gao Jianwu now has more than 50,000 U.S. weapons and equipment, from Garand rifles to 60mm mortars, as well as 75mm howitzers and tank guns, 105mm howitzers, 155mm howitzers, all of which are killer weapons in Gao Jianwu's hands!

Fortunately, Jinyang Heavy Industry has a complete production experience from 60 mm mortars to 105 mm howitzers, so these ordinary shells have more advanced machine tool models of Gao Jianwu explosives, and dozens of authentic Desan advanced machine tools and equipment were quickly completed.

That is, explosives and other aspects use the seized goods left by the little devils, which are inferior in quality and power compared to the beautiful country itself, so the power of the imitation products is slightly less than the original goods, but Gao Jianwu is already very satisfied.

He mainly tilted his resources to the production of ammunition, after all, in terms of weapons, the captured Japanese weapons have been piled up in warehouses, and the equipment of American weapons alone is enough for the main force.

After all, Gao Jianwu is a little expert in the wool of the beautiful country, so far, he has gathered 98 155mm howitzers to form 4 155mm heavy artillery regiments, 148 105mm howitzers to form 5 105mm artillery regiments, 200 75mm howitzers to form 11 artillery battalions, and more than 200 Sherman tanks to form 12 tank battalions and more than 100 Mustang fighters to form 3 flight groups.

There are also nearly 80,000 people equipped with Garand rifles, M1918 Browning machine guns, M2 60mm mortars and M1 81mm mortars infantry battalion main battle weapons!

Therefore, Gao Jianwu went out for a trip, and the harvest was indeed fruitful, although after a long period of war losses, plus Chu Yunfei and Ding Wei divided the small 30,000 troops, now Gao Jianwu still has more than 50,000 main troops left are a full set of American weapons.

Four 155-mm heavy artillery regiments were still there, and 50 Japanese 150-mm howitzers were captured and exploded, and two more heavy artillery regiments were added.

Five 105-mm howitzer artillery regiments were also retained, and Gao Jianwu obtained more than 90 guns from the hands of the little devils through the Tanzhou Battle and the three towns of Hankou, and added three 105-mm artillery regiments, which became eight 105-mm artillery regiments.

The more than 20 doors seized earlier in Qiongzhou were given to Chu Yunfei, and the more than 40 doors seized in Hong Kong and Kowloon were given to Ding Wei, and none of them remained.

In terms of the 75-mm artillery battalion, Chu Yunfei and Ding Wei were left with 3 each, and there were 5 left.

Now, after the newly captured more than 200 75-mm mountain guns and field guns of the little devils, 12 new artillery battalions and 5 main attack groups have been reorganized, and now each of them has been assigned to a US 75-mm artillery battalion, and the newly formed sixth attack group on the road has been assigned to a Japanese artillery battalion.

The remaining 11 artillery battalions, Gao Jianwu is ready to be assigned to the expansion of the new nearly 40,000 second-line garrison troops, according to the plan Gao Jianwu is ready to use a full set of Japanese weapons to equip, also divided into 5 new garrison groups, their main heavy weapons are 2 75 mm Japanese mountain guns or field artillery, in the infantry battalion, there is no M2 type 81 mm mortar company, they are equipped with an 8 92 infantry artillery company.

At the company level, each squad was equipped with one grenadier and one crooked handle, and each company added four 92 heavy machine gun fire platoons to make up for the lack of mortars.

Although this configuration increases the burden on the arsenal and needs to undertake the production of weapons and ammunition in two different systems, it can be supported relatively without the production of equipment now.

With the recruitment of workers and the completion of the ramp-up of production capacity, the Hanyang Arsenal will also turn to the Jinyang Arsenal system to produce new weapons such as Type 43 assault rifles and 107 rocket launchers, and even tanks and fighter jets, until the replacement is gradually completed.

But before Gao Jianwu could show his strength, he heard bad news.

The remnants of the 11th Army of the little devil actually ran away from the encirclement of Chief Xue!
