The No. 2 leader rubbed his temples and said, "Xiao Wang, you have posed a difficult problem for me."
Wang Husheng said: "Chief, although the various base areas under our New Fourth Army are also very difficult, they are not so difficult that they cannot open the fire without these thousands of rockets. But our Songhu Independent Regiment is different. Our Songhu Independent Regiment
If the regiment did not have these 50,000 rockets, it would probably lose the Third Battle of Songhu."
Chief No. 2 turned his attention to the other four chiefs again and asked, "What do you mean?"
Chief No. 1 said in a deep voice: "Things have their own priorities. Although the other base areas are also facing severe situations, they are nothing compared to the Songhu Independent Regiment. The Songhu Independent Regiment has the strength of one regiment.
But it is really not easy to face the encirclement and suppression by the three permanent divisions of the Little Devils. I agree to allocate these rockets to the Songhu Independent Regiment."
The other three chiefs also nodded, and the No. 2 chief said: "Okay, that's it."
"Thank you, chief, thank you all chiefs." After Wang Husheng finished speaking, he closed the wooden box and signaled Digua and the soldiers to move the box out. However, before Digua and the soldiers could step forward, Chief No. 2 reached out to stop him.
.
"What are you doing, what are you doing?" Chief No. 2 said, "The gifts you gave out, are you taking back?"
Wang Husheng smiled and said: "Chief, don't you look down on these broken knives? So I..."
"Don't do this." The No. 2 leader couldn't help but snatched the long wooden crate and continued, "I have something to say beforehand. I can give you 50,000 rockets, but Seishiro Itagaki, Sadagu Iida and Noboru Kunizaki are all here.
The three old devils’ general swords must not be missing. Send them to me as soon as the battle is over!”
"Okay." Wang Husheng said, "Whatever the chief says is fine."
Chief No. 2 snorted lightly, then turned to Chief No. 3 and said: "Lao Zhang, the war situation is urgent. You should go and arrange the transportation team. In addition, notify the Soviet base area and ask them to send troops to respond.
"
"Okay, I'll do it right away." After speaking, Chief No. 3 turned and left, but before leaving, he didn't forget to take the general's sword that belonged to him from the wooden box.
Chief No. 2 said to No. 4: "Old Chen, please contact the Central Soviet base and ask them to send troops to pick up and escort the transport team. These are 50,000 rockets. There must be no mistakes in the process!"
Commander No. 4 agreed and turned around to leave. Commander No. 2 said to Wang Husheng again: "Xiao Wang, the troops in the Suzhong base area can only escort the transport team to Tongzhou and cross the river, and how to transport them after crossing the river. But as for
We can only rely on you, the Songhu Independent Group, have you made arrangements?"
Wang Husheng said: "The chief can rest assured that our transportation lines have enough capacity to transport these rockets back to Shanghai."
After arriving in Shanghai, Wang Husheng has been committed to the reconstruction and strengthening of transportation lines. So far, the number of fortresses alone has grown to more than a thousand, and there are as many as sixteen secret transportation lines, all of which are independent of each other.
, even if one traffic line is damaged, it will not affect the operation of other traffic lines.
Of course, this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that some time ago, Xu Rui used Liang Wuyi's identity to carry out a devastating blow to the Wang puppet spy forces in the Songhu area! Even Seventy-six
Secret service organizations like the No. 1 have been uprooted by Xu Rui, so now basically no one can threaten the transportation lines.
Although the little devil's gendarmerie is powerful, they are still outsiders and will inevitably be acclimatized.
Therefore, when Wang Husheng said that he was powerful enough to transport these rockets back to Shanghai, he was not talking nonsense, but he really had such confidence.
(Dividing line)
Wang Husheng is very confident, and so is Tanaka Kuichi.
Tanaka Hisashi strode into the battle and said to Itagaki Seishiro: "Your Excellency, Commander, I have just received a telegram from the Commander of the Chinese Fleet of the Navy, Admiral Oikawa Koshiro. The inland river fleet has been formed and twenty gunboats have been completed."
We have also completed the assembly at Jiangyin Fortress and are ready to join the Songhu battlefield at any time."
Yes, the navy's river fleet is the trump card hidden in the hands of the little devil!
Due to the shipwreck blockade at Wusongkou, the Japanese Navy's 100-ton-class warships cannot enter the Huangpu River and cannot provide fire support to the Japanese Army. However, the Japanese Navy's 100-ton-class gunboats can still enter Taihu Lake from the canal waterway, and then enter the Huangpu from Taihu Lake
The upper reaches of the river, and then eastward along the river from the upper reaches, cooperate with the army to attack Shanghai.
However, considering that the Songhu Independent Regiment captured the cruiser Izumo, if the river fleet goes down the Huangpu River, it will definitely be attacked head-on by the Izumo! Facing the 10,000-ton cruiser Izumo, the gunboats of the river fleet will
, no matter the firepower or tonnage are not on the same level at all, the final result can be guessed by an idiot.
Therefore, the river fleet cannot go down the Huangpu River to attack Longhua, but can only go east along the Suzhou River to attack Zhabei!
Although the navigation capacity of the Suzhou River channel cannot be compared with that of the Huangpu River, and the river surface is also much narrower. The narrowest point is only 40 to 50 meters wide. Moreover, years of garbage and silt have accumulated in the river channel, which has greatly reduced the navigation capacity. However,
During the flood season in April and May every year, it is still possible to sail a small steamer with a capacity of about 100 tons.
This time, the inland river fleet specially formed by the Japanese Navy for the Third Songhu Battle used all gunboats under one hundred tons, and there were even several thirty-ton pocket gunboats. These pocket-sized gunboats
The gunboat does not have a main gun, not even a 37mm-caliber combat anti-cannon, but only six heavy machine guns.
But even such a pocket gunboat has far greater firepower than a tank!
In terms of armor protection, the thin iron-clad chariots equipped by the Japs cannot compare with gunboats, and even the Type 97 medium tanks cannot compare with gunboats. If a Type 97 medium tank is hit by a rocket, it will definitely die.
No doubt, but if the gunboat hits a rocket, the most it will do is a hole in the deck.
There is no doubt that the gunboats heading east along the Suzhou River are far better than tanks in attacking difficulties!
With the assistance of the Navy's river fleet, the Second Infantry Regiment of the Guards can be like an unsheathed sword, thrust straight into the Shanghai Bund along the north bank of the Suzhou River, thereby cutting the Songhu Independent Regiment's defense area into two sections, the north and the south.
.
According to intelligence, the arsenals and material warehouses used by the Songhu Independent Regiment to store supplies are basically located in the central area of the concession on the south bank of the Suzhou River, while the defense focus of the Songhu Independent Regiment is in Zhabei, Hongkou, Yangshupu, and Wusong on the north bank of the Suzhou River.
The ancient town and Wusong Fort, in other words, the Second Infantry Regiment of the Guards only needs to blockade the Suzhou River for a period of time, and the main force of the Songhu Independent Regiment guarding the north bank of the Suzhou River will run out of ammunition and food and collapse without a fight!
It must be admitted that the plan formulated by Tanaka Kuichi is still very vicious!
Seishiro Itagaki was also very satisfied with Tanaka Kuichi's plan.
"Yo Xi." Itagaki Seishiro nodded happily and asked, "How is the preparation of the Second Guards Infantry Regiment?"
Tanaka Jiuichi said in a deep voice: "The Second Guards Infantry Regiment has been ready for a long time. They only need to wait for the navy's river fleet to arrive on the battlefield before they can launch an attack."
"Yo Xi." Itagaki Seishiro nodded happily and asked, "How long does it take for the river fleet to get from Jiangyin Fortress to the western suburbs of Shanghai?"
Tanaka Jiuichi raised his wrist to check the time and replied: "I can definitely arrive before dawn tomorrow."
"Yo Xi!" Itagaki Seishiro nodded again and said, "Then, let's set it at dawn tomorrow!"
"Hai!" Tanaka Jiuichi said loudly, then turned and walked into the next door communication room to make a call.
Watching Tanaka Jiuichi's figure go out, Itagaki Seishiro turned to look at the dark night sky outside the window, and then said to himself: "Xu Rui, Xu Rui, aren't you very good at turning the tide and creating miracles?
?I want to see how you can turn the tide this time and create a miracle!"
(Dividing line)
At the same time, at the Navy Club in Yangshupu.
The headquarters of the Seventh Battalion is located in the Navy Club, and it is time for dinner.
Xu Rui suddenly felt an inexplicable itchiness in his nose, and immediately sneezed several times.
"Yawn, yawn, yawn!" Xu Rui sneezed loudly three times in a row, then touched his nose and said, "Fuck, it must be Seishiro Itagaki, the old devil, who is cursing me behind my back again."
Zhuanshan Bao picked up a large piece of braised pork from the rice bowl, put it into his mouth and chewed it, while saying vaguely: "Captain, how do you know it's the old devil Itagaki who is cursing you? Maybe it's the head of the Sai University who wants to
You."
Xiao Taohong, who was feeding Xu Rui, paused slightly after hearing this.
Xu Rui's expression also condensed slightly. In the blink of an eye, it had been nearly two months since he last returned to Damei Mountain. When he left last time, Hong Guoer's little face was still wrinkled and had not melted away.
, but by now, she should have turned into a cute little girl. I don’t know how cute she is yet.
When he thought that he had a blood-connected relative in this world, Xu Rui suddenly felt a strange emotion in his heart. He couldn't describe it in words. Anyway, it was a wonderful feeling. If he had to use one sentence,
To describe this feeling, he is willing to do anything for this little guy!
Thinking of Hongguo'er, Xu Rui thought of the thousands of veterans who had sacrificed their lives on the battlefield.
For example, Lin Feng, Luo Feng, Shitou, Liujin, Wu Liang, Li Yingqing, etc. The reason why they went on to fight against the Japanese without any regrets was to fight to the death with the Japanese at the expense of their own lives.
After all, it should be for the same reason as him, because they also have relatives who need to protect them with their lives!
