Two hours later, Leng Tiefeng hurried back to Broadway Building.
When receiving the order, the Langya First and Second Teams led by Leng Tiefeng had already blown up more than a dozen bridges along the Shanghai-Nanjing Railway and the Shanghai-Nanjing Highway, and also annihilated more than twenty bridges along the railway and highways.
The Japanese garrison, originally, Leng Tiefeng had even prepared to go directly to Kunshan along the highway.
If possible, Leng Tiefeng would even want to attack Kunshan County.
However, after receiving the order, Leng Tiefeng withdrew his troops without hesitation.
When Leng Tiefeng walked into the war room, the war game between Xu Rui, Xie Yuan and Yang Rui had ended.
Just looking at the expressions on the faces of Xie Yuan and Yang Rui, one can tell that Xu Rui won this war game. Xie Yuan and Yang Rui still seemed to be a little unconvinced by the result. They were sorting out the process carefully to see what was going on in the game.
During the process, was there any fatal omission in any step that caused the result to be reversed?
Xie Yuan felt that this should not be the result anyway!
In terms of military strength, their Songhu Army Division only has eight battalions, with only more than 15,000 soldiers including the wounded, while the Japanese 20th Division has more than 25,000 soldiers. The Japanese army's strength is almost that of their Songhu Army.
Twice the size of the Shanghai Military Division!
In terms of equipment, the Songhu Military Division has a slight advantage in light weapons, especially the rocket launchers, which are very easy to use. However, the Japanese army has an overwhelming advantage in the number of heavy weapons. Not only does the 20th Division have a field artillery regiment, but more importantly
Yes, the 20th Division can also receive aviation support!
In terms of the quality of soldiers, the Chinese and Japanese armies can be said to be on par! Although the Japs of the 20th Division are veterans, the officers and soldiers of the Songhu Military Division are also veterans of hundreds of battles who have participated in the Songhu Battle, even in hand-to-hand combat.
, the outcome is probably a 50-50 decision, and no one can have an overwhelming advantage.
Perhaps the biggest advantage of the Songhu Military Division is that it fights at home. Not only can it get the full support of millions of citizens in Shanghai, but it also has a large amount of military supplies that the patrol camp previously reserved, so there is no need to worry about a shortage of supplies. However, now, the Songhu Military Division has
If we want to capture the 20th Division before the 7th Division arrives, these two advantages will be useless.
Therefore, Xie Yuan felt that if normal deductions were followed, the Japanese army should have won.
But the result of the deduction just now was that the Japanese army was completely defeated and was finally wiped out!
When the results came out, Xie Yuan couldn't believe his eyes. How could it be like this?
Not only Xie Yuan, Yang Rui was also a little dumbfounded, because the results of the deduction completely overturned his cognition.
Therefore, Xie Yuan and Yang Rui repeatedly and carefully sorted out the deduction process, trying to find out omissions or some unreasonable things, but unfortunately, they couldn't find it after searching several times. They only saw the whole
As the deduction progressed, almost every link was flawless and fully followed the rules for the use of troops and firepower.
Seeing Xie Yuan and Yang Rui still combing there, Xu Rui shook his head and said: "Lao Xie, and Lao Yang, don't bother with this. If you lose, you lose. Don't believe it. Look at the result.
It seems scary to go up there, but to be honest, I have also experienced more terrifying results than this in Nantong."
"I know this, and I participated in the whole process." Leng Tiefeng took over the conversation and said in a deep voice, "In the Battle of Nantong, our Independent Seventy-ninth Brigade had more than 500 people, but there were a whole group of little Japs.
There were more than 7,000 people in the detachment, but in the end, the Shigeto detachment was almost wiped out, and even Shigeto Chiaki became our prisoner!"
"Is there such a thing?"
"Five hundred people annihilated more than 7,000 people?"
Xie Yuan and Yang Rui were immediately stunned upon hearing this.
If this is the case, then the war game just now seems to be acceptable.
Xu Rui continued: "As long as each battalion strictly implements what I just said, and there are no big surprises on the Japs side, for example, the 7th Division does not arrive early, the result will not be too different, and in the end
As a result, even if the 20th Division cannot be completely annihilated, there will definitely be no problem in inflicting heavy losses."
Xie Yuan and Yang Rui nodded silently and said nothing more.
The two of them agreed to Xu Rui's plan without saying anything more.
Xu Rui said to Leng Tiefeng again: "Veteran, whether you can severely damage or even completely annihilate the 20th Division this time, the performance of your Langya Brigade is the most critical. If your Langya Brigade cannot successfully defeat the 20th Division,
If we destroy the division headquarters of the regiment and destroy the arsenal of the 20th Division, then this battle will be impossible to win."
"Don't worry." Leng Tiefeng said solemnly, "As long as the Intelligence Department can provide accurate location information, our Langya Brigade will never let you down!"
"I will provide the exact position information." Xu Rui nodded, and said to Xie Yuan and Yang Rui, "And you, I will return to Jiangwan soon, and I will not prepare for the enlarged military division meeting later.
Participated, but when assigning combat missions, you must make it clear to the commanders of each battalion that the attack time must be synchronized! You must not leave too much reaction time for the Japanese, and you must take advantage of their command system to be destroyed and completely fall into
In times of chaos, give them the most fatal blow!"
"Understood!" Xie Yuan and Yang Rui nodded at the same time.
Xu Rui said to Wang Husheng again: "Old Wang, the task of burying explosives and landmines will be left to you. Remember, you must be quick. You must bury the explosives and landmines in place before tomorrow evening. Only the explosives
Only if they are buried in place and are detonated at the same time will Jiangwan Town truly become a cemetery where the Japanese 20th Division is buried!"
At this point, Xu Rui looked at the time and said to Wang Husheng: "The time is now half past ten in the evening, which means you have less than twenty hours left."
"Old Xu, this task is very heavy!" Wang Husheng said, "Landmines and explosives are readily available. The ones we bought from the United States have not been touched yet. However, with so many explosives, it is necessary to ensure that they explode at the same time. This series project is not small.
I’m afraid we have to find a professional, otherwise we’ll be in big trouble if something goes wrong.”
Xu Rui said coldly: "That's your business, I just want the result."
"You guy." Wang Husheng snorted, but there was nothing he could do.
"That's it. If there's nothing else to do, I'll go back first." After Xu Rui finished speaking, he stood up and left.
After Xu Rui left, Xie Yuan and Yang Rui immediately convened a meeting with the battalion commanders of each battalion. Leng Tiefeng led the Langya Brigade to seize the time to rest and recover their strength. Liu Mei and Jiang Nan were responsible for preparing military supplies, weapons and ammunition.
Food, clothing, medicine, and especially explosives for blasting must be prepared in quantity.
Wang Husheng was also busy looking for experts in chemical engineering.
Wang Husheng immediately found Baptist University.
Before the Sino-Japanese War broke out, most of the universities in Shanghai, such as Fudan and Tongji, moved to the mainland. However, Baptist University did not move inland because it was located in the public concession. It was also one of the few universities in Shanghai that did not move inland.
Wang Husheng, one of the universities, wanted to find experts who knew chemical engineering, and the first one he thought of was Baptist University.
Baptist University did offer a chemical engineering major, but the chemical engineering major was originally a small major with only a few students. Later, when the Sino-Japanese War broke out, these students went home, the chemical engineering major was suspended, and the professors hired from the UK also returned to China.
So Wang Husheng failed to find the chemical expert he wanted.
However, a teacher from Baptist University provided Wang Husheng with another clue, saying that there was a Xingya Foreign Company in the French Concession, which was engaged in the business of chemical preparations and chemical equipment. There might be experts who knew chemical engineering there. Wang Husheng learned the news.
Afterwards, he immediately rushed to the French Concession in great excitement.
In the end, it was all in vain.
This foreign company in the French Concession, which was engaged in the business of chemical preparations and chemical equipment, has closed down and its employees have been dispersed.
Just when Wang Husheng was about to leave in despair, the old man who stayed behind to look after the door gave him another clue. He said that Xingya Yangxing Company originally had a doctor of chemistry who returned from studying in the United States. However, before Xingya Yangxing Company closed down, this doctor of chemistry
He had already resigned and left to join the patrol camp. Unfortunately, the old man didn't know the doctor's name.
Wang Husheng immediately began to curse in his heart, "Damn it, after a long time, there is a doctor of chemical engineering in his army?"
At that moment, Wang Husheng hurried back to the Broadway Building, and then gave an order to the battalion commanders, asking them to immediately look through the rosters of their respective units, then carefully look at the remarks column, and put the one who said Doctor of Chemistry in the remarks column.
The guy was sent to the headquarters immediately! After giving the order, Wang Husheng began to wait anxiously.
Because Wang Husheng was not sure whether this doctor of chemistry had stated that he was a doctor of chemistry when he signed up for the patrol camp. If he had not stated it, the recruitment office would never have taken the initiative to ask him whether he had studied chemistry or whether he had a doctorate? And even if he had asked,
Even if the remarks column is filled in, it does not mean that it is OK.
God knows if this chemistry PhD is still alive!
Fortunately, this chemistry doctor is still alive!
Two hours after the order was issued, just after midnight, the commander of the third battalion, Ding Wenbao, came to the headquarters sweating profusely and brought a young man wearing glasses.
As soon as he entered the door, Ding Wenbao gasped and shouted: "Political commissar, political commissar!"
Wang Husheng was waiting a little anxiously, and when he heard this, he cursed angrily: "What are you shouting for?"
Ding Wenbao immediately chuckled and said in surprise: "Didn't you give the order to send those who have a doctorate in chemical engineering to the headquarters immediately?"
Wang Husheng's eyes immediately fell on the young man behind Ding Wenbao.
"Are you the chemical engineering doctor who returned from studying in the United States?" Wang Husheng asked.
The young man scratched his head and said: "I am indeed a doctor who returned from studying in the United States, and I did study chemical engineering, but I am not sure that the person you are looking for, political commissar, is me."
"It's you, it's you!" Wang Husheng said excitedly, "What's your name?"
