Chapter 1308, start over and clean up the old mountains and rivers
"Yo Xi!"
"cheers!"
On a certain cruiser, several naval officers quietly toasted to celebrate.
Army Red Deer was killed and a brigade commander was also a member of the so-called saber group. Such fun is rare and must be celebrated.
That Shotaro Murakami died at the right time!
There is no market for sake or anything like that in the navy. If the navy wants to drink, they drink red wine.
Red wine and steak, this is the exclusive benefit of the Navy. The Army Red Deer will never have it in their lifetime.
"Who is that Zhang Yong?"
"Who the hell is he? It's best to beat Matsui Iwane to death too!"
"Yo Xi! What you think is what I think!"
"Baga! Our navy has become a tool of the army. We are asked to help with transportation and escort all day long, but we get no benefits!"
"Yes! The Army Red Deer are so bad! Next time, try to drown them in the sea."
"I heard that there may be a big action next month. Maybe..."
"A few must be drowned."
"Chelsea!"
"Chelsea!"
The warship is full of cheerful air.
…
On the battlefield, gunshots were heard intermittently.
The fierce fighting gradually ceased.
Most of the Japanese invaders have been wiped out, leaving only a few who are still resisting.
South of the Huangpu River, there is no danger to defend. It is a smooth river. Both the national army and the Japanese invaders will be treated equally. No matter who is surrounded, the end will be tragic.
The Japanese invaders once launched an onboard charge in an attempt to break through. They broke out frantically to the east.
Indeed, the fighting was once very fierce.
The Japanese invaders' lifeless attacks. Extraordinary bravery. Continuous, like a tide.
In the darkness, the Japanese invaders pressed forward so heavily that it really made people's scalp numb. The bright bayonets shone coldly in the darkness.
The defense line of the Sichuan Army's 145th Division was once shaky.
Without those 12.7 mm large-caliber machine guns, the Japanese invaders would indeed have succeeded.
However……
When large-caliber machine guns sweep across...
"Tu tu tu tu..."
"Tu tu tu tu..."
No matter how cruel the Japanese invaders were, they would only be torn into pieces.
The lethality and penetrating power of large-caliber machine guns are definitely not comparable to those of 7.92mm light machine guns or heavy machine guns.
The Japanese invaders rushing up in rows were simply the best targets. They were penetrated directly.
Any bullet can penetrate several people.
"Tu tu tu tu..."
"Tu tu tu tu..."
Large caliber machine gun frontal fire. Side fire.
Crossfire. Layered firepower. Skillful switching.
Facts have proved that it is not that the Chinese soldiers have no fighting skills. It is that they do not have suitable weapons.
You give them a 12.7mm machine gun and then match it with sufficient ammunition. They can do whatever they want. No matter how crazy the Japanese invaders are, not a single one of them can even think of charging up.
Zhang Yong has nothing to do with him at all.
He just stood behind and watched the fun.
Or send it to Moments...
But there is nothing to post.
It's a bit embarrassing to wipe out more than 2,000 Japanese invaders and post it on WeChat Moments.
It's not a big deal. It can't be put on the stage.
Suddenly, the radar map reminded that there were a large number of white dots approaching to the west. They all had weapons marks.
It should be the National Army's own team. I'm curious. Who is it?
Soon after, someone came to report.
"Commissioner, the commander is here."
"who?"
"Commander."
"What name?"
Zhang Yong did not react.
Division seat, military seat, commander-in-chief. He knows.
Commander, that’s a tough name to call, who is it?
To put it simply, wouldn't it be better to call him Commander?
"He is the commander-in-chief of our right-wing corps! His surname is also Zhang, commander-in-chief Zhang!"
"oh……"
Only then did Zhang Yong react.
So you are talking about Zhang Fakui! Commander...
Well, the names of the national army are indeed a set. There are many professional terms.
Something like Jun Zuo. I don’t know where it came from.
Even the group leader can call the group leader.
Others call Chu Yunfei Tuanzuo...
It's just that he, Zhang Yong, doesn't seem to have such an honorific title. He can't even carry the word "seat".
Too sloppy...
Next time I will get a more domineering official position.
"Ta-ta-ta-ta!"
"Ta-ta-ta-ta!"
The sound of horse hooves is like thunder.
Zhang Fakui is here.
"Hello, sir!"
Zhang Yong politely took the lead in saying hello.
No salute.
Strictly speaking, he is not a regular soldier.
At least, not in the Army.
Moreover, he was wearing a Chinese tunic suit, not a military uniform. It was a bit different.
"Young dragon!"
Zhang Fakui smiled very well and looked relaxed.
This was the first time he saw Zhang Yong. He was indeed a very attractive young man.
If you want to say that you have a pretty face, that's definitely not true. You don't need to have a pretty face on the battlefield. You need to be calm and resolute.
It just so happens that Zhang Yong fits this point very well. He is young but calm.
It has nothing to do with clear telegrams.
"Sir's love..."
"We are all a family, so you don't have to be polite."
"yes."
Zhang Yong agreed.
I thought, it seems like they are all named Zhang.
In this era, the concept of kinship is still relatively strong. No matter how far apart we are, we can get close to each other.
Otherwise, how could there be a saying that they were one family five hundred years ago?
Among the many high-ranking officials in the National Army, Zhang Fakui seems to be his boss.
Others, Zhang Lingfu? Pull him down! Kick him out.
Oh, and there is General Wenbai.
But General Wenbai and Zhang Yong don't seem to be close.
We can communicate on official matters, but forget about private matters. General Wenbai was quite critical of Zhang Yong's private life.
"You are young and have a lot of promise!"
"Sir..."
"If you want, you can call me uncle."
"Then I will really call you uncle. Uncle. Please give me your advice in the future."
"well!"
Zhang Fakui was very satisfied.
He is an open-minded person with an easy-going personality.
Although it is impossible not to be happy with things or sad with oneself, but it is indeed more open-minded.
Even if he did something wrong, he would not deny it.
Even if Chiang Kai-shek didn't like him, he wouldn't argue with him. He just liked him as he pleased.
Although Zhang Yong is Chiang Kai-shek's confidant, he will still support him as long as he has the ability.
"I have ordered Tao Guang to come with the 62nd Division and put it under your command."
"Ah? Sir..."
"Huh? What did you just call me?"
"uncle."
"This is right!"
"Well……"
Zhang Yong was secretly ashamed.
Zhang Fakui obviously loves him very much.
Without saying a word, he put all the troops under his command under his command.
How open-minded!
but……
Not very helpful.
Tao Guang's 62nd Division should not have come.
To be precise, all three divisions should be heading west.
Defend near Jinshan Guard and prepare to meet the Japanese invaders landing. It is impossible to defeat the Japanese invaders. But I hope it can be delayed for five to seven days.
"What? Shaolong, do you have other ideas?"
"no……"
"There are only two of us here. What can't be said clearly? Are you still afraid that I will complain to Chiang Kai-shek?"
"No, uncle. Have you ever thought that if the Japanese invaders land in Hangzhou Bay, they will directly take the retreat route of the Songhu battlefield and encircle us?"
"Hangzhou Bay?"
"Yes. Land in Hangzhou Bay. Near Jinshanwei. Then quickly go north. Join the Japanese invaders who are marching west from Luodian."
"Will it?"
Zhang Fakui immediately frowned.
Then I gave myself the answer: yes, definitely yes.
If he were the commander of the Japanese invaders and had such ability, he would also choose to land behind the enemy's rear.
actually……
One of the tasks of the right-wing corps is to prevent Japanese invaders from landing on the south side.
However, the combat plan considered landing on nearby coasts.
Mainly the southeast corner.
I never thought that the Japanese invaders could go as far as Hangzhou Bay.
Think for a moment.
"Shaolong, the Japanese invaders landed at Jinshanwei, it won't be of much use."
"Why?"
"Their landing force can be up to 10,000 to 20,000 people. Our army can mobilize troops to block it at any time. Block it."
"uncle……"
Zhang Yong was about to speak but stopped.
He found that senior military officials generally had misunderstandings.
It is difficult for people to imagine something that they have not been exposed to.
For example, the navy.
Most of the top brass of the national army knew nothing about the strength of the Japanese navy.
I don’t know what a battleship is, and I don’t know what an aircraft carrier is.
In their understanding, transporting 10,000 to 20,000 troops ashore at one time is already a very difficult task because it requires many, many ships.
Even transporting 20,000 troops across the Yangtze River at one time may be difficult for the national army.
With this understanding, how could it be predicted that hundreds of thousands of Japanese invaders would land together?
It is also difficult for Zhang Yong to popularize common sense.
We need to start with the entire Japanese navy. It was really as long as a piece of cloth.
I can only make a long story short.
With a bit of mystery.
"The Japanese invaders may land five divisions."
"Five divisions?"
"Yes. Five divisions. Maybe more."
"this……"
Zhang Fakui frowned.
I wanted to say it was impossible, but I held back.
Although it is a fantasy, it is not completely impossible. What if it is true?
If Japanese invaders from five divisions really landed in Hangzhou Bay, it would be very dangerous.
The national army is currently exhausted.
On other fronts, it is very difficult to mobilize even one regiment.
The only mobile units may really be the three divisions of the Right Wing Corps.
Moreover, these three divisions may be mobilized at any time.
The right-wing corps may be completely reduced to an empty frame. Eventually it will be canceled and cease to exist.
Zhang Yong was silent.
All that needs to be said has been said.
There is no use saying more about the rest.
The current situation is that the national army has a lot of subjective and objective factors.
No matter who you tell that the Japanese invaders may land in Hangzhou Bay, the other person will frown at most.
I believe something like this may happen. But it will not change the status quo.
Because there are no extra troops to deploy.
The biggest flaw of passive defense is that it is passive. The initiative is in the hands of others.
You only have an army. Your air force and navy are insignificant.
The Japanese navy can firmly rank among the top three in the world.
This pure competition of national strength is destined to be irreparable no matter what tactics are used.
At most, you can win slightly in a small area, but the strategic result will not change.
Just like three years later, it was the Japanese invaders' turn to extend the front line too long, and they were too ambitious and weak to do so. They wanted to force China to surrender, but they still couldn't do it.
No matter how beautiful the tactics are, they cannot change strategic mistakes.
The same goes for mustaches.
If the overall strategy is wrong, the tactical ceiling will be useless.
In this case...
Then give up!
Simply abandon Jinshanwei and let the Japanese invaders land comfortably.
Don't even think about counterattacks. I don't have the strength to do that. Just think about how to retreat in an orderly manner as much as possible.
Preserve as many troops as possible to slow down the Japanese invaders' advance towards Jinling.
The reinforcements transferred from the rear should not come to the Songhu battlefield. They should build a defense line directly north of Suzhou as the second echelon.
Jinling prepares to fortify the walls and clear the country. Prepare for street fighting. Weapons are distributed and all the people are soldiers.
It's a pity...
He is not Chiang Kai-shek. It is not his turn to take strategic command.
Chiang Kai-shek, a master of micro-manipulation, continues to torment the Songhu battlefield. He is like a gambler who is red-eyed after losing and cannot calm down at all.
"Shaolong, you are tired..."
"Um."
Zhang Yong nodded.
Shake your head and expel the thoughts from your mind.
Don't think about strategic issues. Just thinking about it will make you despair. Let's think about tactics.
A dojo is built inside a snail shell. There is only a small space for strategizing.
"Report!"
Suddenly, someone came in a hurry.
Zhang Yong looked unmoved.
I thought I was here to see Zhang Fakui. It had nothing to do with me.
result……
"Sir Commissioner, there is an urgent message from the headquarters."
"Looking for me?"
"yes."
"do what?"
"The headquarters orders you to immediately go to the Ninth Army to supervise the battle and make sure to recapture Dachang Town!"
"Yeah?"
"Anyone who disobeys the orders of the high command will be punished on the spot."
"Well……"
Zhang Yong reached out and took the telegram.
Are you here to do Fa-rectification on the spot again? Who else is going to lose their head?
Didn't I just kill a commander of the 77th Division? What was his name? Sorry, I forgot.
This 77th Division is affiliated with the Ninth Army!
The commander-in-chief of the Ninth Group Army is Zhu Shaoliang. He is also the commander-in-chief of the Central Army Corps.
Going to the Ninth Group Army to supervise operations is actually supervising the entire Central Corps.
Is it to supervise Zhu Shaoliang's battle? To sideline him?
It's over. I am becoming more and more like an ancient military supervisor. The kind who specializes in harming the country and is criticized by thousands of people.
"Shaolong, be careful!" Sure enough, Zhang Fakui said slowly.
A very kind reminder. Careful and thoughtful.
Inspectors and military supervisors are all offensive to others and can easily lead to mutiny.
Chiang Kai-shek was probably anxious too.
Dachang Town has not been recovered for a long time, and the defense line is in danger of collapse.
Zhu Shaoliang's command is poor, he must want to replace him.
However, if someone else were to take over, the situation would probably not improve.
Maybe no one else is willing to take over.
Chiang Kai-shek was the second Chongzhen. He was eager for quick success and quick gains, but he was also mean and ungrateful.
Du Yuming was considered loyal and worked hard for him. However, after he was captured, his family met a tragic end.
With such chilling feelings, how dare others continue to work actively and hard?
Loyalty cannot be said to have plummeted. At least it is 50% off. At the critical moment, flee immediately.
silence.
"Things cannot be settled."
"yes!"
Zhang Yong nodded slowly.
Indeed, things cannot be settled.
Even if he goes to supervise the army and recapture Dachang Town, so what?
The Japanese invaders will continue to launch attacks and fight for it. Planes and heavy artillery will still bombard us indiscriminately.
Did Zhu Shaoliang give up Dachang Town on his own initiative? Of course not.
All the defenders were killed.
I don’t know which division it is from, but it’s already been polished off.
Keep taking it back. Keep lighting it.
Repeatedly recaptured. Repeatedly polished.
So what?
Defeat is decided.
Cannot be changed.
However, he, Zhang Yong, must go. At least, to stabilize the central front.
Don't ask for great achievements.
But seek no fault.
I hope I can retain a little more of my energy so that I can continue to use it in the future.
They are all brave soldiers.
Can die.
But we can’t die in vain!
"Go ahead. There are things a man should do and things he should not do."
"Yes, uncle. I'm going."
"Ride my horse."
"good."
Zhang Yong agreed.
He really needs war horses. He needs to be in a hurry.
Zhang Fakui ordered his war horse to be brought over, patted the horse's head, and handed the reins to Zhang Yong.
"Go for it!"
"yes!"
Zhang Yong stood at attention, saluted, and turned around.
Get on the horse, be strong and lively.
Pulling the reins lightly, the war horse immediately let out a low neigh, as if it was ready to gallop at any time.
"Shao Long!"
"uncle!"
"Start from scratch, clean up the old mountains and rivers, and go to the Heavenly Palace! Go!"
"yes!"
Zhang Yong pinched the horse's belly.
Set off.
At this time, the morning light began to appear.
Wisps of dawn penetrate the darkness and bring light.
"drive!"
"drive!"
The young man gallops on his horse.
The horse is like a shooting star, disappearing into the vast land.
