Jiang Cheng calmed down and said, "Remember, you are special forces, not an assault team. You are fighting clever battles, not hard battles. You two, please read this book carefully and learn more about how others fight."
." He said and handed over two special warfare books prepared from later generations. Of course, some sensitive things in them had been deleted in advance.
Wang Yong took it and looked at it, almost bursting into tears, "Reading - boss, why don't you punish me for running? How about I carry a weight of five hundred miles?"
Jiang Cheng knocked on his head. Hey, this is still a soldier who is unwilling to learn. It seems that it will not be easy for him to do something in the Songhu Battle. He can only say to Li Qian, "Li Qian, have you read
Books, please read more, you can't count on this bully."
Although Jiang Cheng didn't blame Li Qian, Li Qian was the commander after all, and tears were about to come out. When Jiang Cheng spoke, he quickly said, "Promise to study hard."
After Jiang Cheng finished training the two of them, he went to visit the wounded soldiers, while Wang Yong stupidly ran around the warehouse with a bag of bricks on his back, while Li Qian read the book seriously with tears in her eyes. She was dumbfounded at first sight, and then
Simplified Chinese characters.
Li Qian had no choice but to go to Yu Yishan for help. As soon as Yu Yishan saw that the title of the book was Special Warfare, she knew it was not ordinary. Li Qian, who had gained Jiang Cheng's trust, repeatedly reminded her of the importance of this book and began to translate it into simplified Chinese.
.
Li Qian looked at Yu Yishan and said with envy, "Sister Yu is still great, I can't even help my boss, and I failed the task this time."
Yu Yishan asked curiously, "What mission is it?"
Li Qian quickly covered her mouth to express that she couldn't speak, which made Yu Yishan very funny.
Jiang Cheng took out later books on the Battle of Songhu in his room and read them carefully. He kept writing and drawing on some places in Shanghai. After looking around, he felt that his limited manpower could only be used at critical times, and he thought to himself.
.
The next day, Jiang Cheng immediately found Yu Qiaqing and others and said directly, "Everyone, a war is about to start in Shanghai. We should withdraw."
Yu Qiaqing nodded and said, "We are all ready. Zhimin will stay in Shanghai to fake the appearance that we haven't evacuated yet. We can leave immediately. But Xiao Jiang, Yishan said that she wants to leave with you, but I can't persuade you."
It's up to you." He said with a smile, stroking his beard and looking at the embarrassed Jiang Cheng.
Jiang Cheng scratched his head and said, "This girl, I'll go back and talk to him."
Du Yuesheng sighed, "There is indeed going to be a war. All my houses have been taken away recently. But I don't know when we can come back after we leave."
The house Du Yuesheng was talking about was prepared by the White Party for the Battle of Shanghai. Du Yuesheng bought it in his own name, and then built a house without windows. In fact, it was a bunker with permanent fortifications inside. It is a pity that there cannot be too many of these places.
There are only more than 30 buildings in Shanghai. Later, after Du Yuesheng received Jiang Cheng's strong support, he built a few more buildings, but they were just over 50. After all, Japan had too many influencers in Shanghai and did not dare to build more.
Huang Huangrong said with a smile, "Just leave the brothers, I'm still here." Huang Huangrong and Lin Guisheng had prepared a house in the French Concession, and planned to hide in the concession with some of their close brothers.
Time was urgent, so a few people said a few words and then took action separately.
On the other side, Yu Zhimin sold the last batch of special penicillin to Japan. Japan regards this penicillin as a treasure. Although I don’t know why the fatality rate is so high, it is true that it can cure people. Although I don’t know why it cures people.
It feels a little silly, but after all, I survived.
On the way back in the car, Lin Huaibu smiled and said to Yu Zhimin, "Our mission is finally completed, and we will go our separate ways later."
Yu Zhimin had a great impression of Lin Huaibu during the past few days of cooperation, so he said, "How about I just talk to Mr. Du and you can follow me from now on."
Lin Huaibu waved his hand and said, "I will always belong to you, sir. I still have other tasks, so I will leave here. Green mountains will remain green and green waters will flow forever. We will meet again in the future."
Yu Zhimin reluctantly said goodbye, looked at Lin Huaibu's back and sighed.
As Jiang Cheng and others slowly evacuated Shanghai, the pace of war continued to approach the metropolis of Shanghai.
The strategic idea of attracting the Japanese army to the south of Shanghai, which is not suitable for the Japanese mechanical troops to fight, and then winning a big victory to gain international attention and then ending the war with dignity is what Chiang Kai-shek has always supported. What Chiang Kai-shek is most afraid of is that the Japanese army will move along
The Ping-Han Line went all the way south, dismembering China and then slowly tidying it up.
Shanghai had fought a war as early as 1932, and it was this war that made Chiang Kai-shek discover that the Japanese army, which had been extremely powerful in the past, was evenly matched against the 19th Army here in Shanghai.
Chiang Kai-shek later studied and believed that urban warfare was the best way to deal with the Japanese army. In fact, this is correct. The Japanese army was strong in heavy weapons, but heavy weapons in urban warfare often failed. It was more about light weapons and hand-to-hand combat.
The city has become a meat grinder for the Japanese army. It can gain world attention and undermine the Japanese army's strategy. There is simply no better choice.
Of course, the premise is that there are no battleships...
The war that Jiang Jie had put so much effort into preparing for must have a reliable commander.
Agent Chiang chose Zhang Zhizhong without hesitation. The most important reason was that he was the person who knew the battlefield in Shanghai best. He was the person in charge of strategic planning for Shanghai in recent years.
Many people in later generations said that the White Party was a sieve for the Japanese military's intelligence organization. This statement is wrong. Although it is often unreliable at the most critical time, there are some things where the White Party government's intelligence confidentiality work is still in place.
The headquarters that Zhang Zhizhong had secretly planned for several years had never been found by the Japanese army. In fact, this place was located in the Liuyuan Garden, the most famous scenic spot in Suzhou, and was surrounded by tourists. The Japanese never thought that this place with so many tourists would actually be
Zhang Zhizhong's military planning and command center, until the war started, the Japanese still didn't understand what it was doing here. It wasn't that there were no signs, but they didn't believe it at all, just like no one would believe that Hitler's wolf den was actually in Berlin Square.

——Nanjing Meiling Palace
Agent Jiang smiled and said to Zhang Zhizhong, "Wen Bai, you have worked hard these years. Are you confident in this war?"
Zhang Zhizhong puffed out his chest and said, "Commissioner, we have done a lot of work over the years to ensure that nothing goes wrong."
Agent Jiang said with great interest, "Come on, Wen Bai, sit down and tell me."
Zhang Zhizhong sat upright and said, "The art of war has its roots in the importance of speed. In order to better mobilize troops and advance the troops faster, we built railway branch lines to transport troops and supplies, and also built a large number of bridges. These bridges can be used during attacks."
It can transport soldiers and materials, and it can defend against enemies and cut off roads during retreat. I can guarantee that once a war begins, there will never be any problems due to insufficient logistics. At the same time, we have organized a large number of vehicles to prepare for emergencies."
Agent Jiang clapped his hands and said, "Okay."
Zhang Zhizhong became even more energetic when he heard this and said, "In order to better command the troops, we have also built four secret communication lines. The Japanese invaders have many eyes and ears in Shanghai. Once the war starts, Shanghai's communications will be destroyed by the Japanese invaders. In addition, we have also spent huge sums of money.
Allowing radio and telephone lines to effectively cover all towns."
Agent Jiang nodded and said, "In this way, the army will be able to command like a master, which is good."
Zhang Zhizhong continued, "We also sent a large number of agents to guide the way when we were preparing to start the war. We also drew extremely detailed maps and marked various key points of the Japanese army, and distributed them to every combat unit. We ensured that the location was in our hands.
superior."
Jiang Jie sighed, "The time, place, and people are favorable, and we have taken advantage of them. We will win this battle."
Zhang Zhizhong was a general during the Xinhai period. His ability to speculate on the thoughts of the superiors was much higher than his military skills. He knew that things should not be fully explained. Otherwise, if he made a mistake, he would be unlucky.
Zhang Zhizhong said, "But we also have difficulties. Due to the Shanghai Armistice Agreement, we cannot build fortifications in Shanghai, and we have no way to send troops. Although some have been built secretly, they are too few after all."
Agent Jiang frowned and clenched his hands.
Zhang Zhizhong said quickly, "But we figured out a way. We prepared a large amount of cement and wooden boards in advance and made them into modules. Once the war started, we prepared to pull them up and build a fortress like building blocks. This is of course very different from a real fortress, but after all
It has a certain effect. It is guaranteed that a large number of bunkers can be built quickly by then, and I suggest that the Shanghai City start digging tunnels now in the name of building sewers."
Agent Jiang agreed and said, "Yes, let's do it like this. I'll give the order right away. Is there anything else you need?"
Zhang Zhizhong nodded and said, "Shanghai is a big city after all, and heavy artillery is necessary for critical battles. I request that the heavy artillery be transferred to me. Moreover, the 36th Division is still in Xi'an and must be transferred back immediately."
Jiang Jie said, "I will give you all the heavy artillery, as well as the full support of the air force and navy. This time I have put all the hard work of the party and the country. This battle will be won!"
Zhang Zhizhong saluted straightly and said, "We will win!"
At this time, all the Japanese troops in Shanghai were naval forces, with about 4,000 people in six brigades. Including paramilitary organizations such as local soldiers (that is, Chinese demobilized soldiers), there were about 10,000 troops and dozens of warships.
There are more than 50 combat vehicles and more than 300 aircraft that can fight over Shanghai. In August, all non-combatant expatriates have been moved into the concession, and a large number of fortifications have been built. Its headquarters is a cannon that can withstand 200mm heavy artillery.
fortress.
At this time, there were new changes in the Japanese military. After seeing the army's victory, the navy began to prepare for action. However, the director of operations at this time, Kanji Ishihara, firmly opposed the war in Shanghai. He believed that attacking the five provinces of North China was the ultimate.
Once the war starts in Shanghai, the Japanese army will use up all its troops. Once the Soviet Union goes south, Manchuria will not even have the power to defend itself. He also threatened to resign if the military headquarters starts a war in Shanghai.
On August 8, Japan resettled all the expatriates in southeastern China to safe places. War preparations were over. At that time, a drunk Japanese soldier broke into the forbidden area of China at night and was shot dead. Major General Okawauchi Denqi, the commander of the Shanghai Garrison, immediately
The power generation country requested support and called for war.
The Japanese navy has always been stronger than the army. The army's performance in Pingjin made the navy extremely jealous. Now that there was an opportunity, Japan's Maritime Minister Yoneuchi Mitsumasa immediately proposed to start a war in Shanghai, and the land minister Sugiyama Moto proposed to send two divisions.
The army went to Shanghai. Although Ishihara firmly opposed it, the Japanese leadership, including the emperor, believed that Shanghai was the economic center of China. Once Shanghai was broken and then Nanjing was swept, greater benefits would be obtained, so they agreed to send two divisions.
After arriving in Shanghai, two more divisions were sent to Qingdao to choose an opportunity to go to Shanghai to participate in the war.
Since then, the strength of the Japanese army has been basically exhausted, and the Japanese military headquarters immediately decided to form another 800,000 Japanese army. Japan's war machine has been running faster and faster, completely deviating from the original idea.
Chiang Kai-shek also judged that the war was about to begin, and immediately asked Zhang Zhizhong to send the 88th Division, 87th Division and 36th Division to join the Central Army Corps to quickly enter Shanghai. At this time, the 36th Army was still in the northwest due to the Xi'an Incident, and rushed back to Nanjing after receiving the order.
The 88th and 87th Divisions were the first batch of national troops to enter Shanghai.
Because of the Shanghai Armistice Agreement, China could not directly send troops into Shanghai. In order to grab points, Zhang Zhizhong decided that the troops would disguise themselves as police and enter Shanghai. Then they immediately entered the fortresses and fortifications prepared at the beginning and dug the fortifications in preparation for the battle.
Due to the good preliminary preparations, the citizens of Shanghai suddenly discovered Chinese troops all over the city overnight.
Jiang Cheng looked at the groups of national troops in yellow uniforms and German-style ordnance and said to Yu Yishan next to him, "Did you see it? The war is about to start. Aren't you leaving yet?"
Yu Yishan held Jiang Cheng's hand and said, "Don't leave. I'm safe in the concession. Something will happen to you if you stay here. I don't want to miss the show."
When Jiang Cheng heard this, he turned around and looked at Li Qian.
Li Qian quickly shook her head and said it was none of her business.
Jiang Cheng sighed, "The concession is not safe either. Guns have no eyes. You'd better leave."
Yu Yishan pulled Jiang Cheng and said, "Let's go, let's go check out our new address."
Shanghai is an international city, where the great powers have many interests, and the smell of war has also been smelled by the great powers. Britain, the United States, France and other countries immediately jointly requested China and Japan not to go to war in Shanghai, and set Shanghai as an undefended city.
It is now August 12th.
——Jiangyin
Jiangyin is a special place. The narrowest river surface in the Jiangyin section of the Yangtze River is only more than 1,200 meters. The Yangtze River suddenly tightened here, and then opened up in a trumpet shape. Throughout the ages, Jiangyin must be defended to defend the river. It is an important military area and a wartime fortress. In order to prevent
The Japanese navy moved up the river, and Chiang Kai-shek had already deployed a large number of fortress artillery here. However, the Nationalist Government had a limited economy. The so-called fortress artillery was just eight of the latest German-made 88mm flat-fire cannons and German-made 150mm cannons.
4, and 19 old howitzers of various types. This kind of firepower can indeed cause big trouble for Japanese warships, but just in case, Chiang Kai-shek simply ordered the shipwreck to block the river channel.
Here, history has changed. In the past, Huang Jun's betrayal caused the blocking mission to fail, but now the Jiang intermediary has long known about Huang Jun's problem, so that Huang Jun and other traitors did not get the news.
Chen Shaokuan was the commander of the Chinese Navy at this time. He looked at the rolling Yangtze River and felt extremely desolate in his heart.
As a naval commander, what could be more sad than scuttling a warship, and it was about to scuttle before firing a single shot. In order to block the river channel and prevent the Japanese army from using the Yangtze River, Chen Shaokuan looked at the assembled sailors, lowered his head and said
"Brothers, I am incompetent and have no way to lead you across the sea. Now for the sake of the overall plan of the war of resistance, I can only sacrifice myself, sink the ship and block the river. I hope you understand."
The sailors below were silent. As sailors, most of them were literate and knew that this was a helpless solution. But as sailors, what else could they do without the battleship?
Chen Shaokuan knew that the military situation was urgent and sighed, "The ship is sinking!!"
Eight old warships with their guns removed and dozens of civilian ships filled with sand and soil were scuttled one after another. These naval guns will be replenished in the nearby forts.
By the time the Japanese spies discovered the emergency notice, the Yangtze River waterway had been completely blocked. Watching their warships slowly sinking into the water, countless sailors howled. Were they crying about the fate of the warships or the weakness of the country?
, still crying about his confused future, no one knows.
As the commander, Chen Shaokuan knew that there was still too much to do. In the next few days, he continued to collect ships to sink and laid dense mines, vowing to block Jiangyin.
——Nanjing White Party Military Conference
The meeting was attended not only by direct descendants of Chiang Kai-shek, but also by Bai Chongxi, Feng Yuxiang and others.
Agent Jiang sighed after listening to the Navy's report and said, "The Navy has done its best, Zhou Zhirou, how concentrated is your air force now?"
Zhou Zhirou lowered her head and did not dare to look at Agent Jiang.
Agent Jiang felt something was wrong and said angrily, "How much is it?"
Zhou Zhirou handed over a document.
Agent Jiang said impatiently, "Just tell me."
Zhou Zhirou stammered, "We have formed 9 brigades, 7 independent temporary squadrons and a temporary teaching brigade. There are probably two to three hundred aircraft that can be used for combat."
Agent Jiang said angrily, "Nang Xipi, that's two hundred planes. Where are our planes? Where's the money I gave you? Did you, an imbecile guy like you, swallow it all!!"
Feng Yuxiang and Bai Chongxi looked at each other and sneered.
Zhou Zhirou felt so wronged that she stammered, "This...this is all Madam's fault."
When Agent Jiang heard the word "ma'am", he suddenly remembered that his beloved wife was in charge of the air force. He waved his hand and said, "We'll discuss this matter later. Let's continue talking about the Nankou matter."
After resting for two weeks, the Japanese Army eagerly resumed its offensive. The 200,000-strong army was divided into three groups, going south to attack Baoding, all the way to the west to attack the south entrance, and all the way to attack instead of defending to prevent reinforcements from the Shanxi-Sui Army.
At that time, the forward war had begun. Due to the inconvenience of command due to the large number of warlord troops in the north, Chiang Kai-shek could only order defense, hoping that these warlord troops could do more for their own territory.
After the meeting, Agent Jiang grabbed Zhou Zhirou and asked, "Tell me, what happened?"
Zhou Zhirou said quickly, "My wife has put all her money in the bank and is preparing to buy new ones before going to war. And she can also earn interest."
When agent Jiang heard this, he thought this was great and said with a smile, "Well, do you want to buy it now?"
Zhou Zhirou quickly lowered his head and said, "We have asked, and all countries have said that we are at war with Japan and cannot sell to us."
Agent Jiang stared and wanted to curse, but when he thought that this was all caused by his beloved wife, he could only say fiercely, "Please keep this matter secret and let the existing aircraft prepare for combat."
After saying that, Agent Jiang ran to find Soong Meiling angrily, but as soon as she arrived at Meiling Palace, she lost her anger. After all, it was for her own sake, so she could only walk around the entrance of Meiling Palace a few times, then left with a long sigh.
