There are a few sporadic white spots on the edge of the map, containing weapons.
I thought it was the Nationalist Army, but later I found out it wasn't. It was a few young men in casual clothes, and even two girls.
It can be seen that they are very nervous and a little panicked.
It is estimated that the continuous explosions in Baoshan County prevented them from judging the surrounding situation.
Although he had a gun in his hand, his posture holding the gun was incorrect.
Zhang Yong didn't dare to approach easily, for fear that the other party would get angry, and that would be the end of him.
He did not die in the hands of the Japanese invaders, but was accidentally killed by his own people. What a shame.
Fortunately, I have a loud voice.
Get close to the target and raise your voice loudly.
"We are the national army!"
"I see you! Five men and two women!"
"Don't shoot!"
"Never shoot!"
Zhang Yong shouted loudly and signaled Yao Ziqing to send someone up to negotiate.
With great difficulty, we calmed them down and temporarily confiscated their guns to prevent them from getting too nervous and causing the guns to go off.
After a brief inquiry, I learned that they were all young people from Baoshan County. The Japanese invaders occupied Baoshan County, burned, killed, and looted, but they escaped.
I picked up some weapons outside and hid them nearby. I avoided the Japanese invaders.
"Are there any other national troops nearby?"
"have."
"Where is it? Do you know the number?"
"It's said to be for tax collection."
"What tax?"
"It's the one who collects taxes."
"Um?"
Zhang Yong couldn't understand.
In the end, it was Yao Ziqing who concluded.
"Maybe it's the tax police."
"oh……"
Only then did Zhang Yong react.
What tax collector? Really? You thought it was the tax bureau!
It turns out to be the Tax Police Corps!
People under the Ministry of Finance and the Song family have had personal contact with them before.
Many of the accounts were lost to him, Zhang Yongping.
Speaking of this matter, the tax police corps has to thank him for being the great sage of settling accounts!
However, Zhang Yong did not know anything about this so-called tax police corps.
How many people?
How many guns?
have no idea.
It is not clear who the commander is.
It is unclear when the battle was launched and where the combat area was.
"Where is the tax police headquarters?"
"Southside."
"Are you sure it's the south?"
"Yes. The Japanese invaders chased them south."
"good."
Zhang Yong then led the team and continued southward.
It turns out that the tax police corps also joined the battle.
It seems that Chiang Kai-shek really has no extra troops left.
All the direct lineages have been wiped out, and what is left are the various local factions. No wonder he is so anxious.
If all the direct descendants of Huangpu were wiped out, there would be no way to save the day.
His own position is also in jeopardy.
No one understands the importance of the military better than him.
Without the support of Huangpu's direct army, he would have to get out immediately!
Continue south.
Suddenly, dozens of white dots appeared on the edge of the map.
There's nothing special about this. What's special is that there are five yellow dots in the middle. All of them have weapons.
Yellow dot!
He is a member of the Red Party.
I guess it's the guerrillas they mobilized?
Approach quietly.
Sure enough, we found a group of men in casual clothes. They ranged in age from older to younger.
The weapons in their hands were also varied. Some were used daily by the national army, and some were used by the Japanese invaders. They were probably picked up.
Zhang Yong didn't care about other people at all. He only cared about the five yellow dots.
I found that they were all acquaintances and had met before.
Who?
It was shipped from the three northeastern provinces before.
It was Shangchuan Mirror's operation that transported 500 anti-Japanese elements to Wusongkou Pier.
Later, Zhang Yong transferred them to Chongming Island.
Because there were some incidents in the middle, Zhang Yong lost contact with them later.
It was judged that the anti-Japanese elements from the three northeastern provinces had completely taken control of Chongming Island. They even had a conflict with the Songhu Security Command.
later……
There will be no later.
Zhang Yong paid no attention to what happened next.
I didn't expect to meet you here.
Good thing. Struggle behind enemy lines.
The national army is not good at fighting behind enemy lines. Only the Red Party is good at it.
As the national army continues to be defeated, a large vacuum will appear on the battlefield, and people from the Red Party will fill it.
There are also a large number of abandoned weapons and ammunition on the battlefield, which can be used to temporarily arm yourself.
Until the Japanese invaders withdraw their troops and reorganize their rear areas, the Red Party's guerrillas can grow wildly.
Until the Hundred Regiments War, the Japanese invaders looked down upon the Red Party guerrillas and only focused on the frontal battlefield.
This gave the Red Party guerrillas a huge living space.
Seize the opportunity.
Steady development.
The future is promising!
"Come here."
Zhang Yong waved to the five yellow dots.
The five yellow dots looked at each other and discussed in low voices. Then two people came over.
They were still very cautious. Although they knew Zhang Yong and judged that Zhang Yong had no ill intentions, they did not all come forward.
The remaining three people all held guns in their hands. Although the muzzles of the guns were pointed downward, they were ready to fire at any time. They were all obviously experienced.
Two yellow dots came to Zhang Yong.
"Do you need any help?" Zhang Yong asked slowly.
"Not yet." One of the yellow dots replied, "We can handle it ourselves."
"Okay." Zhang Yong said nothing more.
Signaling them to leave.
Not speculative. That's it.
The other party is a red party and he is a reactionary. There is a deep gap between them.
"By the way, I'll leave them to you."
"good."
Zhang Yong handed over five men and two women to each other.
The passionate young people in these places are what the Red Party needs most. They are the fresh blood of the Red Party.
Now, the war breaks out, and the Japanese invaders burn, kill, and loot, arousing great hatred among the people. After surviving the catastrophe, many passionate young people will definitely join the army.
Everything happening behind enemy lines is an opportunity for the Red Party. I hope they can seize it.
There were fully 500 anti-Japanese elements from the three northeastern provinces. Among them, more than half were members of the Red Party. These were the ignition of the revolution.
A single spark can start a prairie fire.
One develops into three. Three develops into nine. Nine develops into twenty-seven...
Geometric multiple increase. The final amount will be very amazing.
As for Zhang Yong, forget it.
He will not mobilize the masses, nor will he inspire people.
Money will be issued.
The path taken is completely different from that of the Red Party.
"Set off."
"yes."
Continue south with the troops.
Scattered red dots began to appear on the edge of the map. They might be warning posts.
If nothing else is said, go straight to A.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
Snipers took out sporadic Japanese invaders.
As soon as the gun fires, the nearby Japanese invaders will definitely come with reinforcements. But it doesn't matter.
As long as the Japanese invaders did not exceed a thousand, he could deal with them.
Sure enough, Japanese invaders appeared one after another. There were more than a dozen or more than twenty like this.
Then they were all killed.
Click!
Click!
It tastes crunchy and crunchy.
When hundreds of people fight against twenty or thirty people, that's called happiness.
Only those with quick hands can grab the heads. Those with slow hands can't grab the heads. They can only watch the excitement from behind.
White spots were found. There were also weapons. It was judged that they might be the national army.
Close the distance. Raise the telescope.
It is indeed the national army.
"He's from the tax police corps."
"oh."
Zhang Yong nodded.
Finally found them.
Send a contact signal. Connect with the other party.
The two sides finally met.
"We are from the 98th Division. You are..."
"From the Fourth Regiment of the Tax Police Corps."
"Who is your commander?"
"Our leader is Sun Liren."
"Sun Liren?"
Zhang Yong was a little surprised.
I didn't expect to hear this name.
Oh, I heard that right. Sun Liren is indeed the head of the tax police corps.
At the beginning of the Anti-Japanese War, Sun Liren was inconspicuous. He was not from Huangpu. He had nothing to do with Huangpu.
It was entirely with the support of the Song family that he finally became the commander of the New First Army. However, he was always marginalized by the Huangpu clique.
Among them, Du Yuming had the greatest opinion of him.
In other words, all the senior officials of the Huangpu Clan had objections to Sun Liren.
After all, it's not a group.
Sun Liren was ostracized on the mainland and continued to be ostracized after going to Taiwan.
In the end, he was accused of treason and he was completely killed. He was only exonerated decades later.
A very complicated struggle.
Or within the three major families of Chiang, Song, and Kong.
Forget it Chen. He is not qualified to be ranked alongside the previous three. He has no military power at all.
"Where is your group leader?"
"On the south side."
"Take us there."
"yes."
Continue southbound.
On the way, we met officers and soldiers from the tax police corps one after another.
The situation is very bad.
The losses are quite serious.
Morale is very low.
Finally saw Sun Liren.
It was discovered that Sun Liren was also in a very low mood.
At this moment, he was squatting under the wall and taking a nap with his head hanging down.
So miserable.
This is the future commander of the New First Army!
If you take a photo of him now and release it later, most outsiders would be unbelievable.
"Sun Liren!"
Zhang Yong shouted loudly.
He is an inspector. He has a very high level.
Sun Liren is just the leader. Of course he can shout and yell.
"who?"
Sun Liren stood up quickly.
His movements are still very agile. This is a basic skill.
When it comes to academic qualifications, Sun Liren is 180,000 miles ahead of Zhang Yong.
Liberal arts, this guy graduated from Tsinghua University.
Department of Civil Engineering.
A truly top student.
Martial Arts, graduated from Virginia Military Institute.
That Marshall also graduated from this academy. It's not West Point. But it's not much different.
Among all the military generals in the national army, in terms of pure academic qualifications, there is absolutely no one with higher qualifications than Sun Liren.
Peerless and independent.
Aloof and arrogant.
You are destined to have no friends.
"It's me, Zhang Yong."
"Commissioner!"
"How's the situation with your troops?"
"this……"
"to be honest."
"It's worse..."
"Tell me more specifically."
"When I led my troops into the battlefield, there were more than 1,700 people in the whole regiment. Currently, I can only gather less than 400 people. The others were either lost or scattered and cannot be found for the time being."
"Are you the only regiment going into battle?"
"The other troops haven't been assembled yet. We still need to wait a few days."
"oh……"
Zhang Yong was thoughtful.
It turns out that the tax police corps hasn't all been summoned yet.
However, it is probably useless to pull them all up.
The fourth regiment led by Sun Liren himself was the vanguard force. The loss was so heavy that it could almost be said to be a devastating blow.
There are currently less than 400 people left in the regiment of 1,700 people.
What a miserable word.
From Sun Liren's description, we can also get a glimpse of one thing, that is, the execution ability of the national army is really bad.
The troops were dispatched too slowly. The preparations were very slow.
You see the Japanese invaders move quickly.
Others' cross-sea expeditions were able to mobilize so many troops ashore in just a few days.
The Tax Police Corps is located in Jinling, only two hundred kilometers away from the Songhu battlefield. It has not yet fully entered the battle. Is it Song Ziwen's excuse? Deliberate delay?
Lao Jiang and Song Ziwen didn't seem to be getting along well. The two even had a fight. It was quite fierce.
"How's the situation around here?"
"It used to be that the Central Teaching Corps was cooperating with our regiment, but now they have also been dispersed."
"Gui Yongqing?"
"Yes. The captain of the teaching team is Gui Yongqing."
"ah……"
Zhang Yong frowned.
That guy runs very fast.
Because he is He Yingqin's son-in-law, he has the amulet.
Huh?
etc……
"Is Gui Yongqing married?"
"not yet."
"Is he attracted by Minister He of the Military and Political Department?"
"Yes."
"No wonder."
Zhang Yong nodded.
Although we are not married yet, we are already in a relationship.
This guy has no ability on his own. However, he is really good at picking up girls. He is also good at pleasing his father-in-law.
"Is your opponent the 11th Japanese Division?"
"Yes."
"That's good."
Zhang Yong breathed a sigh of relief.
Finally, we broke into the territory of the Japanese 11th Division.
We have left the combat area of the Japanese Third Division. It is impossible for the Japanese invaders to surround us.
"Sun Liren!"
"arrive!"
"Regulate the team and follow me!"
"yes!"
Sun Liren hurriedly agreed.
Then he hurriedly gave orders to assemble the team.
Compared with the general national army, the training of the tax police corps is pretty good. The response is quite fast.
Within ten minutes, they were all assembled.
"Replenish ammunition immediately."
"yes."
The weapons of the Tax Police Corps are actually average.
Don't think that just because the Ministry of Finance has money, it can buy all the fine art.
Whether you have money and whether you can buy it are separate from whether others are willing to buy it. After buying it, whether it can be delivered smoothly is separate.
Many times, even if you have money and want to buy something, you can't.
For example, the Sichuan Army is a typical example.
There is no way to buy foreign weapons.
Sun Liren's troops are mainly equipped with Chinese-style rifles, Czech light machine guns, and 60mm mortars.
Don't even think about other field guns and the like. There are no anti-aircraft machine guns. There aren't many Maxim water-cooled heavy machine guns either.
From a purely weapons and equipment perspective, it is almost the same as the 98th Division.
Before large amounts of U.S. aid arrived, the Ministry of Finance was too clever to make a meal without rice.
After a series of fierce battles, Sun Liren's troops basically ran out of ammunition.
Replenished more than 100,000 rounds in one breath.
Almost everyone is loaded with ammunition.
"Do you have tanks?" Zhang Yong suddenly thought of another thing.
"No!" Sun Liren replied, confused.
Zhang Yong feels weird.
How could the tax police corps have tanks?
How can a tank be assigned to the tax police corps? Don’t even think about it.
"boom……"
"boom……"
Suddenly, a cannonball fell.
It exploded near Zhang Yong. He squatted down reflexively.
It was judged to be the Japanese invaders' 75mm field artillery. It had a range of about eight kilometers. It was fired from outside the map.
Obviously, the Japanese invaders were targeting Sun Liren.
Zhang Yong had just arrived, so the Japanese invaders could not know.
Only Sun Liren fought with the Japanese invaders here, and then the Japanese invaders locked his position.
Sure enough, a large number of red dots appeared on both the south and east sides.
Artillery cover.
Infantry charge.
Alternating cycles.
This is the basic offensive tactic of the Japanese invaders.
Very simple.
Very effective.
The coordination is too complicated, and many armies cannot do it.
Don't think that infantry and artillery coordination is simple. Looking around the world, of the hundreds and dozens of countries, no more than twenty can do it.
Even in later generations, in 2024, there will be no more than thirty people who can do it.
Foot-tank coordination and ground-air coordination can achieve even less.
"The enemy is approaching from the east and south."
"How do you know?"
"Don't ask. I just know. Prepare to attack south."
"yes."
Sun Liren agreed.
Then I realized something was wrong.
southward?
assault?
Aren't there Japanese invaders in the south?
If you attack southward, you will easily be attacked by the Japanese invaders from both sides!
If attacked from both front and rear, the entire army would be annihilated. The Japanese invaders' combat effectiveness was still very strong.
"Commissioner..."
"Assault southward!"
"yes."
Sun Liren did not dare to neglect and hurriedly carried out the order.
Here, Yao Ziqing also assembled his team and attacked southward. He happened to collide with more than 500 Japanese invaders.
This is where Zhang Yong has an advantage over Sun Liren.
This is something Sun Liren will never be able to do.
That is to know the number, equipment, and location of the Japanese invaders in advance. It is clear at a glance.
There were only more than 500 Japanese invaders who came up from the south. Zhang Yong planned to kill them directly. Then he would deal with the ones from the east.
The enemies coming up from the east were only about 400 people. They were slightly weaker.
Attack the strong enemy first and cripple him. Then go back and deal with the weak enemy. This is the safest way.
Who did you learn it from?
Of course I learned it from the teacher.
He doesn’t understand anything. Then just copy what the teacher does.
"Boom boom boom..."
"Bang bang bang..."
The battle begins immediately.
The fiercest firepower was poured on the Japanese invaders.
Various weapons, full firepower.
"Baga..."
"How could..."
The Japanese invader Major was trapped.
What it brought was an understaffed brigade.
The main task is to encircle and destroy the remaining enemies. Therefore, there is no problem if there are not enough troops.
The defeated Chinese army was at the end of its tether. It could not withstand the attack of half a brigade. It could be said that it was easily captured.
Who knows...
Suddenly attacked.
The opponent's firepower is very brutal and extremely lethal.
In one encounter, more than a hundred people were killed. The rest were also in a state of chaos.
"Tu tu tu tu..."
"Tu tu tu tu..."
There seems to be brutal anti-aircraft machine gun fire.
Baga!
Chinese people don’t talk about martial ethics!
He actually pulled out an anti-aircraft machine gun to hit the infantry!
I've seen shameless people, but I've never seen such shameless people. It's too bad.
"Chi chi chi..."
"Chi chi chi..."
With anti-aircraft machine gun fire, the ground was flattened.
Many Japanese invaders lying on the ground were killed by bullets flying close to the ground.
Ordinary ridges and the like are completely useless. Large-caliber bullets completely penetrate and kill you with one shot.
"no……"
Sun Liren also took a breath of air.
What a firepower!
It seems to be the M2 Browning large-caliber heavy machine gun from the beautiful country?
Incredible.
Unbelievable.
Where did Zhang Yong get it?
Could it be imported from a beautiful country? It’s really a magical power!
Snap hook!
Snap!
The Japanese invaders fought back tenaciously.
Sharp gunshots came from time to time, but intermittently.
This fully shows that the firepower of the Japanese invaders has been contained for the time being. Their other firepower has not yet had time to be used.
But as time goes by, the Japanese invaders' counterattack will gradually increase.
"boom……"
"Chi chi chi..."
Sure enough, a few minutes later, the Japanese invaders began an organized counterattack.
After all, they are well-trained. After losing a group of people, the remaining ones basically found an opportunity to fight back.
"Stick close to the Japanese invaders! Don't distance yourself!"
"Beware of Japanese artillery fire!"
Zhang Yong gave a special reminder.
It's daytime now. The Japanese invaders will call in artillery fire.
Those 75mm field guns can also kill people. They are also very lethal.
Clingy!
Come on!
"Ta-ta-ta..."
"Da da da..."
The submachine gun began to show its power.
As expected, the Japanese invaders could not hold on any longer and were forced to retreat.
Zhang Yong raised his fist.
wave.
Oh yeah!
I'll beat you up!
Look how arrogant you are!
"boom……"
"boom……"
Suddenly, a shell exploded nearby.
Zhang Yong's expression changed.
Grass!
Japanese artillery fire!
Or a 105mm heavy cannon!
Deadly!
The Japanese invaders actually used a 105mm heavy cannon!
Do you want to be so cruel...
He hurriedly moved forward and approached the Japanese invaders.
Sure enough, it's safe for now.
The Japanese artillery fire fell behind him.
Fortunately, the response was quick, otherwise it would have been doomed.
Suddenly, the map automatically switched. Two red dots quickly approached from the east.
Longevity!
It's a Japanese aircraft!
Japanese planes actually arrived too.
Sure enough, the Japanese aircraft came over the battlefield...
I found that there were people fighting on the ground, but they were entangled with each other. It was impossible to tell us apart.
I had no choice but to shake my wings and fly away.
Zhang Yong secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, it was not bombed or strafed.
Personal tactics are really effective.
Just a bit useless.
However, what else can be done?
He casually took out a Garand semi-automatic rifle.
