After the meeting, Agent Jiang came to Meiling Palace and sat in the study looking at the map on the wall. He didn't know what he was thinking. At this time, a maid knocked on the door and said, "Sir, General Bai Chongxi wants to see you."
Upon hearing this, agent Jiang stood up and said, "Let him come to the study to meet me."
When Bai Chongxi came to the study, Agent Jiang smiled and said, "Why is Jiansheng visiting so late at night?"
Bai Chongxi sighed and said, "Commissioner, I couldn't fall asleep in bed after the meeting, so I came to the committee to express my thoughts."
Upon hearing this, Agent Jiang became serious and said, "Jiansheng might as well speak out."
Bai Chongxi looked at the map of the Shanghai area on the wall of Jiang's intermediary and said, "Commissioner, if the Japanese army really wants to land on our right wing, our army will be in danger of being attacked from two directions. We will definitely lose the battle in Shanghai, so I suggest that,
From now on we have to consider retreating."
When Agent Chiang heard about the retreat, he felt very upset and said, "Can't we just hold on a little longer? The League of Nations has already heard that it wants to consider our problem. As long as we hold on a little longer and the League of Nations steps in, we can get international assistance."
Bai Chongxi saw that Jiang's agent was still thinking about international aid, and couldn't help but said anxiously, "Commissioner, if we don't prepare, it will be too late. If we are really attacked and we cannot evacuate, this is 75 divisions with a main force of more than 700,000 people."
ah."
When Agent Jiang thought about the hundreds of thousands of direct troops, he couldn't help but feel worried and said, "Well, let's work out a retreat strategy. In case of emergency, we can protect our main force from being completely wiped out."
——Taiyuan Zhou Guansheng and Mr. Zhu looked at the new information and couldn't help but sigh. Mr. Zhu said, "If you put it this way, Miss Yu is still caught, and Xiao Jiang will definitely do something outrageous."
Zhou Guansheng stood up and turned around a few times and said, "Xiao Jiang will get into trouble if he comes alone. We must help him."
Mr. Zhu nodded and said, "It would be best if we let our comrades from Shanghai meet Xiao Jiang."
Zhou Guansheng nodded the table and said, "I will be responsible for this matter. Xiao Jiang did not belong to this era. He could have enjoyed a peaceful life freely. In our era, he could have made money and left. But for the sake of our country and
He has been helping us for free, and it’s time for us to help him.” At this time, the guard knocked on the door and said, “Mr. Zhu, it’s time for the meeting.”
Mr. Zhu stood up and said, "Then I'll go to the battle meeting first. You've been worrying so much about Xiao Jiang."
After Zhou Guansheng waited for Mr. Zhu to leave, he wrote a telegram to the guards outside and said, "Send a telegram to Yan'an immediately."
Mr. Zhu came to the conference room. At this time, Xinkou had concentrated most of the combat power of the second theater, which was divided into three parts: the Central Army, the Right Army and the Left Army. Mr. Zhu was elected as the commander of the Left Army.
After everyone sat down, Yan Xishan said first, "Let's talk about the current battle situation first."
Yang Aiyuan said, "Now that Itagaki Seishiro and Tojo Hideki have joined forces, Tojo Hideki handed over all three of his brigades to Itagaki Seishiro to take command on the grounds that he was not good at fighting. In front of us are four
A group army of about 60,000 people composed of 2 brigade groups. Now the enemy's vanguard has broken through Dai County and is about to reach Nao County. Yuanping is currently stationed in Nao County. Yuanping's 196th Brigade and the 7th Independent Brigade are defending the two places.
, buy us time."
Wei Lihuang asked, "How long can these two troops resist?"
Yang Aiyuan said, "We gave the order to defend until the last person. We can fight for at least a week."
Yan Xishan stood up and said, "Datong guard Li Fuying has been shot by me. From now on, whoever dares to retreat without a fight will set an example."
Fu Zuoyi frowned and stood up and said, "Sir Yan, this Li Fuying is not following--"
Before he finished speaking, Fu Zuoyi swallowed the words hard when he saw Yan Xishan's eyes as if he wanted to eat someone.
Everyone knew that Li Fuying was just a scapegoat, but no one could speak for a dead man at this time. Only Fu Zuoyi, who had a brotherhood with Li Fuying, was secretly sad.
Yan Xishan motioned to Yang Aiyuan to continue speaking.
Yang Aiyuan continued, "The deployment of our army is as follows: the Eighth Route Army, the 73rd, the 101st, and the newly-organized 2nd Division are the right-wing army, commanded by Commander-in-Chief Zhu, and are stationed along the Wutai Mountain-Yukou line, with the purpose of attacking the enemy.
The left wing, while outflanking the enemy's rear route in a timely manner; the 14th Army, the 9th, 15th, 17th, 19th Army, 196th Brigade, and the 27th Artillery Regiment are the central army, under the command of Commander-in-Chief Wei Lihuang, stationed at Xin
Take the main position at the entrance; take the 68th, 71st, 120th Division, the 7th Independent Brigade, and 3 artillery battalions as the left wing army, commanded by me, stationed on the line from Heiyu Village to Yangfangkou; take the 34th and 35th
, the 61st Army, the 66th Division, the 1st and 3rd Independent Brigades are the general reserves, under the command of Commander-in-Chief Fu Zuoyi, located in the Dingxiang and Xinxian areas, supporting all parties. The commander-in-chief of this battle is General Wei Lihuang."
Wei Lihuang stood up and said, "The purpose of this battle is very simple. Use the favorable terrain of Xinkou to resist the Japanese attack first. After the Japanese army loses all its energy, the left and right wing armies will outflank it and eliminate all 50,000 Japanese troops."
Yunzhong Valley."
Yan Xishan stood up and said, "We have concentrated more than 200,000 main troops for this battle. We are determined to win but not to lose. Does Commander Zhu have any other opinions?"
Mr. Zhu raised his finger and said, "I have only one idea. What should we do in the direction of Niangziguan? The Japanese army has captured Shijiazhuang. Once we advance westward to Niangziguan, our army will be in danger of being flanked."
Yang Aiyuan smiled and said, "We have already considered this issue. Sun Lianzhong's 26th Route Army, Feng Qinzai's 27th Route Army, Zeng Wanzhong's 3rd Army and Zhao Shoushan's 17th Division will be stationed on the Niangziguan line.
, commanded by Commander Huang Shaohong, who is about to come to Jin Dynasty. With these elite soldiers and generals here, and the favorable location of Niangzi Pass, it will be difficult for the Japanese army to enter."
Mr. Zhu was almost amused by this sentence. The Seventeenth Division and the Third Army are both the Central Army, and their combat capabilities cannot be underestimated. However, the Twenty-sixth Army and the Twenty-seventh Army are the original Northwest Army and Northeast Army. This
The combined heavy firepower of the two troops is not known to be more than one brigade of the Japanese army. As for the commander-in-chief Huang Shaohong, although he is one of the three giants of the Guangxi faction, he is better at political strategy, let alone letting a Guangxi faction take command.
Mr. Zhu is really not optimistic about the three armies, which are divided into the Northwest Army, the Northeast Army and the Central Army. How could a polished commander command these arrogant and capable generals?
Boss Zhu stood up and said, "I have another request. Everyone knows that our Eighth Route Army is good at guerrilla warfare and mobile warfare behind enemy lines, so I hope that Chief Yan will allow us to carry out guerrilla warfare in various places."
Yan Xishan couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed when he heard this. Naturally, he was unwilling to let the Japanese come in. After all, the Japanese wanted his territory and wanted his life, but he was not willing to have the Red Party spread all over Shanxi to fight guerrillas. No one in the world knew that.
The vitality of the Red Party is stronger than that of weeds. God knows whether this Shanxi will belong to Yan Laoxi or the Red Party.
Mr. Zhu saw Yan Xishan hesitate and continued, "Everyone knows that the Japanese army is fierce and has strong soldiers and horses, but the bigger the monster, the more food it needs. The Battle of Pingxingguan has proven the reliability of guerrillas behind enemy lines. If our army is behind enemy lines,
In addition to the frontal battlefield, we can cut off the logistics line to attack the Japanese army, and it will be difficult for the Japanese army to remain undefeated."
Yan Xishan gritted his teeth and said, "Well, in Shanxi, the Eighth Route Army must obtain approval from the headquarters to engage in guerrilla warfare. However, in enemy-occupied areas, you can move freely."
Mr. Zhu nodded and said, "Okay, our Eighth Route Army will not disappoint all of our colleagues."
After the meeting, Mr. Zhu returned to Yuci and summoned everyone to start a combat meeting.
After listening to what Mr. Zhu said, Mr. Peng said, "If all the main forces of the Japs are concentrated at Xinkou, the rear will be empty. I think we can send our troops to the enemy's rear."
Mr. Zhu nodded and said, "I have the same opinion. I propose that the 120th Division should move towards Yanmenguan to attack the Japanese logistics troops in the Yanmenguan direction and carry out guerrilla warfare. The 115th Division should move towards Pingxingguan. That is Lin Sanhu's old place.
, I believe he will be able to defeat the enemy three times, and the last one is the 129th Division. I am going to let the two regiments of the 129th Division stay in the front, and the two regiments will go around behind the enemy to do harassment combat work."
Boss Peng nodded and said, "This method is okay. With the current strength of our army and the favorable terrain of Yanmen Pass and Pingxing Pass, I think the Japanese army's logistics troops will have to endure hardship again."
Zuo Quan laughed and said, "If the Japanese dare to come, we will go behind them and kick their butts. Judging from Lin Sanhu's battle experience, maybe the troops will be expanded after we finish the fight."
Speaking of expansion, Mr. Peng couldn't help but hum, "Generalissimo Chiang is a stingy man. He only gave three divisions. I think he needs to think of ways to expand the army."
Mr. Zhu waved his hand and said, "Let's not talk about that for now. In addition, this time there are 73, 101 and the new second division to cooperate with us in fighting. I communicated with them before coming here. They are mainly responsible for guarding the Wutai Mountain area. These are mountainous areas. The devils
The main force will not choose here, they are enough. The real key is the Wei Lihuang troops in the middle."
Wei Lihuang on the other side was also making final arrangements for his center army, and decided to defend Liu Maoen's 15th Army in the mountains on the right because it was expected that there would not be too many Japanese troops attacking here, and one miscellaneous army would be enough.
The middle route was defended by Hao Mengling's 9th Army of the Central Army, Chen Changjie's 61st Army of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, Gao Guizi's 17th Army and other units, under the unified command of Hao Mengling.
The left wing was defended by Li Mo'an's 14th Army of the Central Army, Guo Zongfen's 2nd Reserve Army of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, Wang Jingguo's 19th Army and Meng Xianji's 8th Independent Brigade. Li Mo'an was in charge of the command.
At the same time, all eight artillery regiments of the Jinsui Army were placed in the middle of the Japanese attack!
At this time, the total number of troops on the Xinkou central front line was more than 80,000, with more than 200 artillery pieces and dozens of aircraft. In addition, Yan Xishan spent a lot of money to reward the troops, and the morale of the entire army was high, and they were determined to fight to the end.
Itagaki, who didn't know that the situation had changed, was ordering the vanguard troops to advance quickly and stationed in Guo County. Yuanping's troops did not dare to escape after Li Fuying lost his head. This Li Fuying had been with Fu Zuoyi as early as the 7th year of the Republic of China.
When 12 people became sworn brothers to Jinlan, a veteran figure known as the Thirteenth Taibao of the Jinsui Army, he would kill whenever he wanted. His life was probably not worth much in the eyes of Chief Yan, so it seemed that he could only fight to the death. As for
Surrender, the Jinsui Army has always been well treated, and the style of the warlord army is that if the top does not surrender, the bottom will fight to the end. If the top wants to surrender, the bottom will immediately raise their hands and kneel down.
Therefore, Itagaki's trip to Xinkou was not smooth from the beginning. In order to speed up the battle, Itagaki ordered the 15th independent mixed brigade and the 2nd independent mixed brigade to attack Nao County and Yuanping City at the same time.
First, the two regiments of the 7th Independent Brigade of the Guoxian garrison held on for three days and three nights. After the Japanese army destroyed the city wall of Guoxian County through heavy artillery bombardment for 6 hours, they managed to invade Guoxian County. Commander Liu Liangxiang was killed in the fierce battle.
After the Japanese artillery hit and killed him, another regiment commander Shi Huanran immediately took over the command and refused to retreat. It was not until he was hit and sacrificed after dropping a bomb that the Japanese army conquered the county town.
Itagaki looked at the ruins of Nao County and thought to himself that this was probably a special case. After all, no matter it was Datong, Pingxing Pass or Yanmen Pass, the defenders did not fight to the last soldier. But after that, Yuan Ping defended
Jiang Yuzhen's 196th Brigade filled Itagaki's heart with uneasiness.
The combat effectiveness of this brigade is good among the Jinsui Army, and it is a strong force. The brigade commander Jiang Yuzhen is from Heze, Shandong. He fights very bravely and is a famous general of the Jinsui Army. Under his leadership, the 196th Brigade first attacked this small town.
They relied on the city wall to resist for three days.
Under the bombardment of dozens of aircraft and dozens of 75mm or above artillery, the city was finally broken. However, Jiang Yuzhen lived up to his reputation as a brave general. In order to buy time for the Xinkou defenders behind him, he gritted his teeth and led his troops to use machine guns and Xigua Lei to guard the gap for four days.
For four nights, until there were too many gaps and there was nothing left to defend, they retreated to the county town and started fighting in the streets with the Japanese army. The 196th Brigade and the Japanese army fought for one compound after another. It was completely close-range hand-to-hand combat. There were corpses everywhere and rivers of blood.
Every time the Japanese army captured a compound, they left behind numerous corpses. In the end, there were only three compounds that could not be captured. For the sake of face, the Japanese army resolutely refused to use artillery. Jiang Yuzhen took the last two to three hundred people with a machete and a shell gun and forced them to attack again.
After fighting for one day and two nights, only nine soldiers were ordered to climb out of the dog hole in the city wall, and the rest of the troops were nowhere in the city.
While attacking Yuanping, the Japanese army mobilized its main force to attack Ningwu and other places to the west of Yuanping. The defenders, the Ma Yanshou Brigade of the Independent 7th Brigade of the Shanxi-Sui Army, held on for five days and five nights in Ningwu before retreating to Xuangang in the rear.
Itagaki looked at the casualties of Xiao Sanqian after conquering these three cities. He couldn't believe his eyes. If the Chinese army was so desperate, let alone conquering China in three months, what he should have considered was how not to be defeated.
It is true to drive out of China. Itagaki's courage began to waver.
——Modern time and space
After Jiang Cheng got the architectural drawings, he drove to Chen Ce's store, but saw that the store was closed. Jiang Cheng called and asked, "Chen Ce, where are you? Is Tianlin with you?"
There was a whistling wind from Chen Ce's side, saying, "We are together, what's wrong with you?"
Jiang Cheng said, "I want to buy something."
After a while, a helicopter arrived in front of Jiang Cheng. Looking at Chen Ce sitting in the driver's seat, Jiang Cheng was stunned and said, "You can still do this?"
Chen Ce rolled his eyes and said, "Nonsense, I said I was a mercenary, do you think I was joking?"
Jiang Cheng nodded and got on the plane. Chen Ce took off and asked, "What happened? You seem to have never placed an additional order like this."
Jiang Cheng looked at the scenery outside the window and said, "Something happened. I need some equipment and vehicles."
Chen Ce blinked and said, "Do you want us to help? Tianlin looks unreliable, but his actual force is very good. Of course, the commission will be higher."
Jiang Cheng smiled and shook his head and said, "No need, you can't reach that place."
After a while, they arrived on the roof of a hotel. Jiang Cheng got off the plane and saw Ying Tianlin holding Ada and waving to him.
Seeing Jiang Cheng, Ying Tianlin said curiously, "What's the matter, my friend, what do you need this time?"
Jiang Cheng looked at the empty rooftop and the noisy noise of helicopters. He had to admit that this was indeed a good place to keep secrets, so he said, "I'm in some trouble. A friend is locked up in a building and needs some equipment. Please excuse me."
.”
Ying Tianlin let go of Ada and said, "What's wrong? Which blind person dares to mess with my friend? Say, if you want my help, I'll give you a discount."
——You still need money.
Jiang Cheng shook his head and said, "No, I can solve it. Let me tell you the situation. There are many people on the other side, but the equipment is very poor, but most of the marksmanship is good. The building is of good quality and can withstand heavy artillery. Hmm - maybe you can put it
He imagined being a fortress."
Ying Tianlin smiled and said, "There are many people? How many are there?"
Jiang Cheng looked at Ying Tianlin and smiled bitterly and said, "There are about 200,000 people in that city, and there are probably more than 10,000 people nearby the fortress I want to attack."
Ying Tianlin and Chen Ce widened their eyes and said in disbelief, "Aren't you going to attack the capital of some country, are you? There are only a few forces in the world with 200,000 troops."
Indeed, in the generally peaceful 21st century, Britain, the former empire on which the sun never sets, has only a little over 200,000 troops. Of course, this era is no longer an era of relying on numbers to fight wars.
Jiang Cheng raised his eyes and said, "Don't worry, they are all tribal armed forces with extremely backward equipment. They don't even have tanks or rocket launchers."
The Japanese tanks of 1937 can indeed only be said to be armored vehicles in modern times.
Ying Tianlin then relaxed and said, "It's not even armed with a rocket launcher. So what are you afraid of? Let's do this. It's a BTR-70 armored vehicle. This vehicle can carry 11 people. The heavy machine gun on it can use armor-piercing bullets and can penetrate at a distance of 500mm.
32mm thick vertical steel armor can penetrate 20mm thick vertical steel armor at a distance of 1000m. Of course, you can also install a turret version. Let's give you a Tiger armored vehicle. This vehicle can carry 9 people, or
Install cannons, by the way, do they have planes?"
Jiang Cheng nodded and said, "They are all old-fashioned aircraft. Just give me some anti-aircraft missiles. I will be given two cannons and two machine guns for each type of vehicle."
Ying Tianlin excitedly took out a mobile phone from Ada's chest and pressed it while saying, "That's easy to do. In this way, 50 Hongying 5A, if you want to save people, and the opponent's marksmanship is good, then use firepower to suppress it.
I’ll give you 100 mini Uzis. In fact, the mini Uzis have more firepower, but they are too light and cannot be fired accurately, so I’ll give you mini and messy special grenades. Well, I’ll give you another 100 AK-
74U, this gun is a modified version of the short barrel. I will give you a 45 magazine. I will give you a silencer and a 30mm grenade launcher. Let me think about it. Plus an infrared scanner. The explosives I gave you last time were not enough.
You add, by the way, ******, do you want a melee weapon? I'll give you 50 of them. I'll take a look. This one is pretty good. Plus a plasma cutter. You'll definitely be able to use it. By the way.
Do you want a plane?"
Jiang Cheng quickly stopped and said, "I don't want the plane. I don't have a pilot."
Ying Tianlin nodded and said, "Okay, let me give you the drone. This one is fine. These messes plus enough ammunition. Seeing that you are in a hurry to save people this time, I will give you a discount. Total
I’ll give you 2 million US dollars, thank you for your patronage, boss.”
Jiang Cheng was too lazy to bargain with him and said, "The speed must be fast, the faster the better. Also, if you have any gadgets that can be used to save people, please add them to me. If I want to rescue people successfully this time, I promise."
I’ve got a big order for you.”
Ying Tianlin smiled and said, "I have all these things ready-made. How about delivering them to Black Iron Island within five days? My speed is no worse than SF Express."
Jiang Cheng let out a breath and secretly calculated in his mind that it was already the fourth day. After five days, plus the training time, it would be more than half a month at the earliest. This time, he had to go back and stabilize those little devils first.
, you bastard brat, if there is anything wrong with Yishan, I will just buy a bunch of biological and chemical weapons and go to Tokyo regardless!
After Jiang Cheng paid the money, he immediately returned home, called Sun Ning, ordered five tons of diesel, and then returned to Shanghai in the Republic of China.
