Chapter 87

Time, August 24, 1937, at 9:00 am.

Zhang Tianhai, who had just entered the position for one day, received an order to change defenses, and the troops of the 215th Regiment took over the position of the 216th Regiment, and the 216th Regiment took over the position of the 215th Regiment.

The 215th Regiment's position is close to Jiangwan Town and is in line with the 106th Brigade's position. The position is not large and is also very close to Fudan University. The only flaw is that it is too close to the front line-

The Japanese Marines in Jiangwan Town, which were still fighting, finally waited for reinforcements and began to launch a counterattack...

...

No. 28, Jiangwan Road, Shanghai, the 108th Brigade Tourism Department.

After Zhang Tianhai led his troops to capture the enemy Navy Special Marine Corps Command, Peng Jiguang set the location of the 108th Brigade Brigade here, which was one of the few buildings with complete bodies under the bombing of the Japanese army.

The things in the house have been cleaned up, and temporary desks are laid with military green tablecloths. Even the military map has been set up. As for the radio, it must be prepared as soon as possible.

Many officers with lieutenants or lieutenants come in and out of the brigade headquarters, busy with their own affairs.

Peng Jiguang was thinking quietly in front of the military map, and standing next to him was his adjutant Xu Jun.

"The voyage, Bei Zhi is a little confused. Why should we change the garrisons of the 216th Regiment and the 215th Regiment? It is said that the combat power of these two regiments is not much different..." Adjutant Xu Jun endured it for a long time, and finally couldn't help asking.

Peng Jiguang smiled and said, "The combat power is almost the same, but it depends on who will use it."

"It seems that the commander still prefers Commander Liu. But when fighting tough battles, they are all the commander Hu." Adjutant Xu and Peng Jiguang have not been short for a long time, so it is okay to make a joke or two occasionally.

"Hu Jiaji is a man who dares to fight and fight, so the 216th Regiment can fight hard battles; Liu Ying is a qualified officer, but he is too rigid and cautious in combat, and he is still okay to fight hard battles. I am still not at ease..." Peng Jiguang sighed softly.

I have to say that Peng Jiguang is quite accurate in terms of people-in the later Liberation War, Liu Ying was appointed as the commander of the reorganized 32nd Division and the commander of the Shijiazhuang city defense, and lost Shijiazhuang in a week.

You know, at that time, Liu Ying's reorganized 32nd Division was a reorganized corps. The entire division had 24,000 people. It was stationed in Shijiazhuang, which was a iron wall in Tongcheng. It could be lost for a week, and he was captured alive and captured.

Shijiazhuang was conquered for seven days, oh, to be precise, six days and six nights. In addition to being able to highlight the strong combat power of the People's Liberation Army at that time, does it also highlight that Liu Ying's tactical command level is very average?

Okay, the book is back to the original.

"I understand the humble profession." Adjutant Xu responded, and responded sincerely.

Peng Jiguang pointed to the position where the former 215th Regiment was stationed and said, "Look, this is north of Jiangwan, which is the former 215th Regiment. It is connected to the 212th Regiment of the 106th Brigade and is extremely close to Fudan University. From the battle report sent by the division headquarters, we can know that the enemy landed in Chuanshakou and Shizilin area in Baoshan County, and now it has fought with the 11th Division in Luodian."

As he said that, Peng Jiguang pointed his command pole at Luodian again, and then clicked Jiangwan again.

"In addition to the enemy troops landing in Shizilin at Chuanshakou, the 106th Brigade was obviously in large numbers of troops fighting in Jiangwan. It can be roughly judging from the sound of gunfire during the battle that there are no next corps in the enemy troops landing in Jiangwan." Peng Jiguang said in a deep voice.

"Brigate, from your opinion, what are these Japanese devils going to do next? Landing in these two areas does not seem to be a way to rescue the enemy Marine Corps Command. These two places are far from the enemy Marine Corps Command." Although Xu Jun was also from Huangpu, he lacked practical experience on the battlefield and was still far from the experienced Peng Jiguang in terms of his problem.

Peng Jiguang smiled, picked up the baton and pointed to the direction of Luodian, and said, "Xu Jun, look, if the Japanese army in the north rushed to Jiading and Guangfu Nanxiang after taking Luodian; the Japanese army in the south attacking Jiangwan will attack Longhua after taking Jiangwan, and connect with the Japanese army in Hongkou. Does this Japanese army's attack line look like two huge arrows?"

After listening to the brigade commander's words, Xu Jun's cold sweat came down: "Brigate, are you saying... the Japanese army wants to eat our troops in Shanghai in one bite?"

Peng Jiguang nodded and did not deny: "It's not impossible. The Japanese commander is an expert. His strategic purpose is very obvious. He not only wants to take over Shanghai, but also wants to eat our main force in Shanghai!"

"There are four German divisions in our army in Shanghai, not just the Tax Police Corps. If we include the Tax Police Corps, there must be five German divisions. In addition to the veteran troops of the First Division and the 11th Division, the Japanese may not have such a big appetite, right?" Xu Jun's eyes widened, looking in disbelief.

Looking at Xu Jun's shocked look, Peng Jiguang smiled: "Xu Jun, you are also from Huangpu, right? You should also look longer. Indeed, our troops in Shanghai are all the elites of our Central Army, but when fighting, death and injury are inevitable. Furthermore, this will only be the first batch of reinforcements of the Japanese army, and the reinforcements behind will only be continuous. With the combat power of the Japanese army, only 200,000 troops can take over these ace divisions of our Central Army."

I have to say that Peng Jiguang was able to take the position of brigade commander of the 108th Brigade with his real ability, because Matsui Ishione really planned that way!

As a general of the army and commander of the Shanghai Expeditionary Army, Matsui Ishione's eyes were not that short-sighted. Before leaving the military headquarters, he had already received the promises from the military headquarters and others: Fujita's 3rd Division and Yamamoto's 11th Division were just the first batch of reinforcements, and reinforcements would arrive later.

Therefore, Matsui Ishien must lay a good foundation for the reinforcements later. His target is not only one Shanghai city, but also the Chinese army in the entire Shanghai!

As for the telegram from the Navy Minister Isori Yamamoto, Matsui Iron chose to ignore it: This Shanghai incident was a mess caused by your navy. It is good for our army to wipe your butts. Why should we use the lives of our army warriors to save you, such a group of naval horse manure that are not enough to fail?

Matsui Ishi was not interested in the Navy's people at all. In addition, he was a general of the Army and had always had disagreements with the Navy's people. With excuses for the overall strategic situation, he naturally didn't bother with the special Marine Corps.

As for what is this excuse for Matsui Ishien? It’s very simple—“Use the Imperial Special Marine Corps Command in Shanghai as bait to attract the main force of the Chinese army, and then use the main force of the Imperial Shanghai Expeditionary Force to achieve the center’s blossoming!”
