Li Xiaoxia scratched his head and said a little shyly: "Political Commissar, I seem to be a few years younger than you. How about you call me Xiao Li? I will feel more comfortable."
"Okay, then Xiao Li." Wang Husheng didn't want to dwell too much on the title. Time was precious, and the 20th Division of the Little Devils was here as soon as they spoke. They had to hurry up and get to work.
Wang Husheng said again: "Xiao Li, you majored in chemical engineering. You should be able to install bombs, right?"
"Bomb?" Li Xiaoxia said with some pride, "As long as there are some in the world today, there is probably nothing I can't make. Of course, installation is not a problem."
Li Xiaoxia is still modest. In fact, he can use common items such as soap and urea to make a powerful super bomb, which can even blow up a building like the Broadway Building! Doctor of Chemical Engineering, this title
It's not for nothing, the doctors of today are not as bad as those of later generations.
"This is what you want!" Wang Hu slapped his thigh fiercely and said, "In this way, if I provide you with enough explosives, can you blow up the entire Jiangwan Town into a sea of flames?"
Li Xiaoxia nodded and said: "As long as there are enough explosives, there is absolutely no problem with this."
Wang Husheng added: "So, can all the explosives be installed within one day?"
"There's no problem." Li Xiaoxia said without thinking, "Theoretically, as long as there are enough manpower, it will be fine. In fact, if there are enough explosives and manpower, I can blow up Shanghai into ruins in one day!"
"Shanghai is exempt." Wang Husheng quickly waved his hand. He really didn't expect that the gentle young doctor in front of him was actually a destructive maniac.
After a slight pause, Wang Husheng said again: "In this way, I will give you enough manpower and explosives, and you will be responsible for leading people to install these explosives in every corner of Jiangwan Town. I have only one request. As long as I give an order, you
It can blow up Jiangwan Town into a sea of fire in an instant!"
Li Xiaoxia suggested: "Political Commissar, if you want to blow up Jiangwan into a sea of fire, in addition to explosives, it is best to add some fire starters, so as to save explosives."
Wang Husheng shook his head and said, "But fire starters like sulfur and fire salt are expensive."
"Sulfur, fire saltpetre?" Li Xiaoxia asked in surprise, "Why not use chemical fertilizers?"
"Chemical fertilizer?" Now it was Wang Husheng's turn to be confused, "Chemical fertilizer can also be burned?"
"Of course." Li Xiaoxia said with great certainty, "With just a little treatment, chemical fertilizers can burn, and they are not necessarily weaker than sulfur or fire salt, especially ammonium nitrate. More importantly, due to the Sino-Japanese War, various
There is a serious backlog of fertilizers in this foreign company, and they can’t even sell them at a discount, but the price is still cheap.”
Wang Husheng immediately turned around and shouted: "Lao Bi! Lao Bi!"
After a while, artillery battalion commander Bi Xiancheng ran in and asked: "Political commissar, are you looking for me?"
Wang Husheng waved his hand and said: "Take your troops and follow Dr. Li's command from now on!"
"Dr. Li? Where is Dr. Li?" Bi Xiancheng was confused when he heard this, and then looked around, but his eyes did not stay on Li Xiaoxia for even a second. In his impression, the doctor must be an old man, and he must be bald to make people look at him.
You know that this person is very knowledgeable and smart, and his head is not hairy.
Wang Husheng pointed at Li Xiaoxia and said to Bi Xiancheng: "This is Dr. Li Xiaoxia, who returned from studying at the Mahjong Provincial University of Science and Technology in the United States."
Li Xiaoxia said: "It's MIT, not Mahjong Province."
"One thing." Wang Husheng said, "Lao Bi, from now on, your artillery battalion will be under the command of Dr. Li. You have to do whatever Dr. Li tells you to do. Do you hear that?"
"Yes!" Bi Xiancheng agreed simply.

At this time, Aoki Shigemai had already arrived in Suzhou by train.
However, just after arriving at Suzhou Station, Aoki Shigemai received a telegram from the Navy, the new commander of the Twelfth Army, Kawagishi Bunzaburo. After receiving the telegram from Kawagishi Bunzaburo, Aoki Shigemai hurriedly changed trains and hurried to
The military airport located on the outskirts of Suzhou City greeted Bunzaburo Kawagishi on the runway.
After waiting for almost half an hour, the roar of engines finally sounded over the airport.
Immediately afterwards, the signal lights on both sides of the runway lit up one after another. Under the guidance of the signal lights, the Douglas III transport aircraft that Kawagishi Bunzaburo was riding slowly landed on the runway and finally stopped. When the transport aircraft stopped, Aoki Shigemai hurriedly took the
Several staff officers hurriedly came up to meet him, the cabin door just opened, and the gangway was lowered.
"Aoki-kun!" Bunzaburo Kawagishi had just gotten off the plane, and he immediately entered the role and asked sullenly, "Are the grain and fodder for the 20th Division ready? In addition to this grain and fodder, two more grains must be prepared.
There are 5,000 sets of spring clothes, and the weather will soon get hot, but the 20th Division has just arrived south from Korea and is still wearing winter clothes."
"Hai! We are stepping up preparations." Aoki Shigemagi paused, but he was cursing secretly in his heart.
It seems that it is easy to supply a division with food, grass, bedclothes and clothing. You only need to talk about it, but those of us who are actually doing things have to break our legs.
"Yo Xi." Bunzaburo Kawagishi nodded happily and continued, "The military headquarters will also be moved from Nanjing to Suzhou as soon as possible. I will direct the mopping up operations in Shanghai nearby."
"Hai!" Aoki Shigesei paused again.

On the way to send Xu Rui back to Jiangwan, Leng Tiefeng asked: "Old Xu, how does this old devil Kawagishi Bunzaburo compare to Itagaki Seishiro? Is it more difficult to deal with, or easier to deal with?"
Last night, Shun Nakamura took the opportunity of the preparatory meeting to tell Xu Rui all the information he had, including the important information that Bunzaburo Kawagishi was appointed as the commander of the 12th Army at the Japanese base, instead of Seishiro Itagaki.
Tie Feng wondered whether he should also kill this old devil.
Because if Bunzaburo Kawagishi is not killed, even if the headquarters of the 20th Division is taken away, Bunzaburo Kawagishi, an old devil, will still have the opportunity to take over the command of the 20th Division. In this way, we can withdraw from Jiangwan.
The remnants of the 20th Division still have a chance to obtain unified command, which is a bit troublesome.
Xu Rui heard the song and knew its elegant meaning, and asked: "Do you want to kill Bunzaburo Kawagishi too?"
Leng Tiefeng said: "One pig is killed, and two pigs are killed. Why not kill them together?"
Xu Rui said: "But the problem is, the headquarters of the Twelfth Army is far away in Nanjing. Is it possible that your Langya Brigade rushed to Nanjing to find him? Even if you go, how can the two sides coordinate?"
Leng Tiefeng immediately fell silent. This was indeed a big problem.
After a while, Leng Tiefeng asked again: "Lao Xu, you came back late just now. I didn't see all the war games between you, Lao Xie, and Lao Yang, but I think the little Japs may not be the boss."
?Or even if you enter the hub, you can only enter an infantry regiment or even an infantry brigade at most. Jiangwan is only as big as Jiangwan, right?"
"No, Jiangwan is big enough!" Xu Rui shook his head and said, "Big enough to bury the 20th Division!"
Leng Tiefeng didn't say anything more, because he felt that even if the entire 20th Division could not be included in the Jiangwan battle, it would still be good even if only one infantry brigade was included, because this meant that the entire 20th Division could not be included in the battle.
If the strength of the 20th Division is reduced by one point, the pressure on the Songhu Military Division will be reduced in the following urban street battles.
Xu Rui said quietly: "Veteran, don't you feel it?"
"What?" Leng Tiefeng looked at Xu Rui blankly and asked, "What do you feel?"
"There is a big problem with the command of the little devil." Xu Rui said quietly, "Judging from the dismissal of Itagaki Seishiro, this old devil should not agree with sending the 20th Division first, so as not to give us the opportunity to defeat each other.
If I guess correctly, it should be the old devil Tojo Hideki who dismissed him from his post."
"Hideki Tojo? One of the big bosses of the Showa warlords!" Leng Tiefeng said, "He is as famous as Neji Okamura."
"This is just to praise him. In terms of ability, Tojo Hideki is not even worthy of carrying Neji Okamura's shoes. Ishihara Wanji even openly mocked him as only worthy of being a superior soldier." After a pause, Xu Rui added, "I
Therefore, the biggest reliance for asserting that Jiangwan will become a cemetery where the 20th Division is buried is none other than Hideki Tojo!"
Leng Tiefeng said: "How angry Tojo Hideki would be if he heard what you said?"
Xu Rui smiled grimly: "Tojo Hideki has a good official career because he is used to flattering people and he comes from a high-ranking family. But in fact, this old devil has never participated in actual combat, let alone commanded any actual combat, even if it is
In a small-scale battle involving a small team, his methods are all based on paper tactics!"
Leng Tiefeng said: "But after all, he is only the deputy chief of the army. How can he leapfrog his rank and command the Second Battle of Songhu?"
Japan does not admit that this war is the Second Battle of Songhu, but the Songhu Military Division has openly shouted that this is the Second Battle of Songhu. This is not only to expand its influence, but also to increase pressure on the Japanese army.
Because the memory of the Battle of Songhu for the Japanese army was not good, mentioning the Battle of Songhu will inevitably have psychological implications.
After a pause, Leng Tiefeng continued: "In my impression, it seems that only Chairman Chiang likes to command at higher levels, but the Japanese base camp rarely does such stupid things, right?"
"That's just because the frontline commander of Little Japan withstood the pressure, or it didn't cause too much negative consequences, but it doesn't mean that Little Japan doesn't have cross-level command." Xu Rui shook his head and said, "But this time, Kawagishi
Bunzaburo may not be able to withstand Tojo Hideki's pressure, or he may not be willing to disobey Tojo's orders."
While the two were talking, they had already arrived in Jiangwan Town. Xu Rui returned to the position at Broadway Building, and Leng Tiefeng went back alone to join the Langya Brigade.
