At this point, the sound from the radio suddenly stopped, and something exploded on the rooftop.
"God, what did I hear? What did I hear?"
"Thirty-six artillery battalions! The Songhu Independent Regiment really has thirty-six artillery battalions missing?"
"This guy Xu Rui didn't lie. What he said at the press conference was actually true?"
"God, is there something wrong with my ears? Why do I feel so unreal?"
The diplomatic envoys and media reporters present screamed, obviously shocked by this text message, but for them it was just a shock, but for people with certain military experience, such as Wilson and Ferguson, they felt even
The whole world is going crazy because this is so unreal!
Such a result is completely inconsistent with the military theory they have learned.
"No, no, no, this is not true. This is fake news. It must be fake news." Wilson couldn't accept the text message he just heard. He shook his head and said, "Yes, fake news. It must be fake news. This
It’s Xu Rui’s psychological warfare, it must be psychological warfare, otherwise there’s no way to explain it.”
After a pause, he continued: "Think about it, let's not talk about whether the Songhu Independent Regiment has thirty-six artillery battalions. Even if it does, assuming that their artillery can fire at night and hit the target accurately,
But what’s the point of devoting four main battalions to launch an all-out general offensive? How is this possible?”
Ferguson had an unpleasant quarrel with Wilson just now, but now he had already put this unhappiness behind him and agreed with Wilson: "Yes, the Japanese headquarters, the two division headquarters, and the field heavy artillery positions are all
In the northern suburbs of Shanghai, there are several Japanese infantry regiments separated from the Songhu Independent Regiment?"
He paused and then said: "Well, even if there are gaps between the several infantry regiments of the Japanese army, even if the main attack force of the Songhu Independent Regiment can pass through, there are still security forces in the deep positions of the Japanese army. It can be so easy.
Destroyed? As long as these guard troops hold out for more than ten minutes, the front-line infantry regiment will be able to return for reinforcements. By then, the main attacking troops of the Songhu Independent Regiment will be attacked from both sides and will die without a place to die!"
Wilson nodded and said: "Yes, unless the general offensive force of the Songhu Independent Regiment can simultaneously eliminate the Japanese headquarters, the two division headquarters and the security forces of the field heavy artillery positions within ten minutes, but how is this possible?
?There are three brigades of security forces in the field heavy artillery position alone!"
Ferguson said: "In short, this is completely impossible, impossible!"
At this time, a voice suddenly intervened: "Your Excellency, Brigadier General, and Colonel Wilson, haven't you heard of the proverb dancing on a razor? Everything seems impossible, just because the dancing skills are not good enough. For truly outstanding dancers,
In any case, it will not affect his performance in any situation."
Everyone turned around and saw that the person speaking was Berezov, the TASS war correspondent.
"Mr. Berezov, I know that the Soviet Union has declared war on Japan, so you will hope that the Japanese army will defeat based on your emotional tendency." Wilson shrugged and said, "But logic is logic, and we cannot let emotional tendencies affect us.
According to the logical judgment, a dancer can dance on a razor, but there are iron laws in war. The laws of war cannot be changed by a certain commander's command on the battlefield, OK?"
"Well, I have no intention of arguing with you." Berezov shrugged coolly and said with a smile, "Then, let's wait and see, okay? No matter whether the broadcast just now is true or false, there will be accurate information soon.
There’s news, isn’t it?”
After finishing speaking, Berezov turned around and left, but Wilson still had so many words to say that he almost suffered internal injuries.
Berezov refused to give face, so Wilson turned his attention to Helen again. Just as he was about to speak, Helen's radio suddenly rang again: "I'm very sorry. The broadcast was temporarily interrupted due to equipment failure. It will continue now. Just now,
Our station received another text message from the front line."
The rooftop, which was buzzing just now, immediately fell silent again.
After a pause, Liang Yixiao continued: "Following the Japanese headquarters, the two division headquarters and the field heavy artillery positions, the Japanese Guards Division and the five infantry regiments of the Seventh Division have also been attacked by us.
The main force of the Songhu Independent Regiment is encircled, and now our main battalions are attacking with all their strength. I believe there will be new good news soon. Okay, today's briefing is here. Please listen to our battlefield voice column."
As if to add a footnote to Liang Yixiao's text message, as soon as he finished speaking, fierce gunshots rang out from the north bank of the Suzhou River, and then at the same time on several main streets such as Sichuan Road and Tibet Road, the Songhu Independence Movement appeared.
The troops of the regiment launched a fierce attack on the Japanese army. In an instant, fierce gunfire rang out.
Silence, silence! The whole rooftop suddenly became deathly silent!
At this time, even an idiot can see that the radio station of the Songhu Independent Group did not lie.
Ferguson and Wilson, who had spoken so brazenly just now, suddenly felt their faces burning with embarrassment. However, they were not ridiculed, and others were not in the mood to ridicule them, because almost everyone was immersed in shock. It was true. It turned out that the broadcast
Everything said in it is true, the Songhu Independent Group actually won the battle!
Suddenly, Lunlun turned around and walked towards the stairs.
"Honey, where are you going?" Lucas asked after catching up.
"I have to go back to the room right away!" Helen said excitedly, "Write a manuscript!"
Such a major piece of news, Helen, as the AP's war correspondent in China, had to transform it into culture as soon as possible and then send it to the other side of the ocean.
Helen's words reminded Berezov and other media reporters. The dozen or so media reporters present left the rooftop and returned to their rooms one after another, eager to write newsletters. However, the envoys from various countries stayed and continued
Through the artillery mirror, we closely followed the progress of the war on the north bank of the Suzhou River.
At this time, the outcome of the war was no longer in suspense.
The only suspense now is whether the Songhu Independent Regiment can completely annihilate the Guards Division. Is it possible for the Seventh Division to fight a battle of annihilation with these infantry regiments trapped deep in the city?
(Dividing line)
At the same time, in Chongqing.
The Battle of Suizao has ended. The Chinese army suffered a small loss, but the Japanese army did not reap any benefits, because the situation facing Wuhan has not changed. The intention of sending conscript troops in Central China has actually failed. From this point of view alone,
In the end, the Kuomintang army actually won the Suizao battle, so Chairman Chiang was in a good mood.
Early in the morning, Chairman Chiang asked the technicians from the Technical Section of the Military Command Bureau to connect the signal from the Songhu Radio.
The Battle of Suizao has ended, but the Third Battle of Songhu is still in full swing. Chairman Chiang is very concerned about the outcome of this battle.
The signal was received in time. Chairman Chiang had just turned on the radio and heard the brief message broadcast by Liang Yixiao. After listening to it, Chairman Chiang's reaction was the same as that of Wilson and Ferguson. At first, he felt ridiculous and unbelievable.
, then doubts, and finally dumbfounded in front of the iron facts!
Because of his shock, Chairman Chiang did not even know when the broadcast stopped.
It was not until Wang Shihe stepped forward to turn off the radio that Chairman Chiang finally woke up from his dream.
Wang Shihe originally thought that Chairman Chiang would tell him about the results of the Songhu Independence Regiment, but he did not.
After looking out the window with a gloomy face for a long time, Chairman Chiang suddenly asked: "By the way, how is the training in Liang Gang's special training camp for young officers going now?"
"Still practicing, but the standards have been raised three times!" Wang Shihe replied in a low voice, "Of the more than a thousand people at the beginning, there are only less than 200 people who can persist until now. And according to Liang Gang, later on
The training standards will continue to improve, and I really don’t know how many people will be left in the end.”
"There are less than two hundred people left?" Chairman Jiang frowned, and suddenly brought the topic back to the Third Battle of Songhu and asked, "Shihe, you said that the Songhu Independent Regiment has a chance to fight
A war of annihilation?"
"Well," Wang Shihe said, "I'm afraid there's no chance."
(Dividing line)
So is there any chance? Yes!
By this time, Xu Rui had returned to Broadway Building.
Just as Xu Rui and Wang Husheng entered the war room, Du Junjie followed them in and reported: "Captain, we just received a telegram from the First Battalion, saying that it was the Fourth Guards Infantry Regiment that had escaped from Longhua.
It's back again! Now it's launching a fierce attack on our Hongqiao defense line. Battalion Commander Shi asked for instructions, what should we do?"
"Huh? The Fourth Guards Infantry Regiment is back again?" Wang Husheng looked stern when he heard this, frowned and said, "Old Xu, this is a big trouble. The little devil must have come to rescue the people trapped on the north bank of the Suzhou River.
The first battalion of the two Guards infantry regiments had to intercept the two trapped regiments, block the returning fourth regiment, and watch out for the Japanese gunboat fleet on the Suzhou River. One battalion had to fight three
I’m afraid you’ll be too busy with all the work in the camp?”
Xu Rui said: "What are you trying to stop? There is no need to stop them. If the little devils want to come back, just let them come back!"
After a pause, Xu Rui said again: "Order the First Battalion to immediately release the first-line defense of Hongqiao Airport and release the Fourth Guards Infantry Regiment of the Little Japs back." At this point, Xu Rui chuckled and continued, "
I am regretting that I was unable to completely wipe out the Guards Division and the 7th Division of the Japs. As a result, the only one that slipped through the net, the Fourth Guards Infantry Regiment, came back. The Japs were so cooperative, how could I change my mind and frighten them?
Kind intention?"
Wang Husheng frowned and said, "Old Xu, aren't you afraid of holding on?"
"I can't hold on." Xu Rui said happily, "I have a big appetite!"
After saying that, Xu Rui waved his hand again, and Du Junjie turned around to convey the order.
