"What did you say?" Wang Gongyu's eyes gradually turned cold.
"I need manpower!" Tang Dao said calmly.
"I was ordered to establish an independent battalion of the 43rd Army based on the Sixing Battalion. Thanks to the respect of the two commanders Wu and Guo, the entire Songjiang Garrison Battalion was placed under my command an hour ago." Tang Dao continued. "However, the strength of the troops remains the same.
not enough!"
"When the garrison battalion was established, it already had more than 800 troops. Although there were battle losses in the continuous battles, there are still 400 to 500 troops. Add in the remaining troops of your deputy director Tang's Sihang Battalion, which has a strength of close to 600 troops. It is enough.
An infantry battalion has been established." Wang Gongyu's face showed a cold look. "Why do you still want to attack my security group? What? What are the commanders in chief dissatisfied with Mr. Wang? They still have to do it at this time.
Isn’t this strife between colleagues going too far?”
Commissioner Wang calmed down and pointed the finger at several big bosses in the headquarters. In his opinion, Tang Dao would not have done such a crazy move without the instructions of those people.
With an illusory promise, we came to dig into his roots as the commander of the Songjiang Security Group.
In such troubled times, glory and wealth are all illusory, and the truth is only when someone has a gun!
"It has nothing to do with the commanders-in-chief. I came to you on my own!" Tang Dao shook his head. "Only if you agree will I make this request to them!"
"Then, this is definitely not possible, Deputy Director Tang, you should give up this idea completely!" Wang Gongyu refused directly. "Although Wang is not talented, he can still lead these Songjiang men to kill the enemy and serve the country!
"
"Now that the invaders are watching outside the defense line, and the military affairs are urgent, I will no longer keep you, Deputy Director Tang. See you again when we have a chance!" After saying this, Commissioner Wang planned to see the guest off with a roll of his sleeves.
Obviously, it was Commissioner Wang's last act of restraint not to speak harshly to Tang Dao who wanted to get to the bottom of it.
"Tsk!" Tang Dao chuckled.
Even the darkness cannot stop the contempt.
How dare Shuzi do this? Wang Gongyu's eyebrows almost stood up as he turned around to leave.
When I had a good impression of Tang Dao, Tang Dao's behavior was called youthful and frivolous, and he was a bit crazy. But because he was young, everything could be forgiven. Now that he is full of disgust, naturally only the four words arrogance can be used to describe him.
"Commissioner Wang, you said you would kill the enemy to serve the country, so let me ask you, after the battle in Jiashan, where do you want to go to fight the enemy?" Tang Dao's expression remained unchanged despite Commissioner Wang's eyes that could turn people into honeycomb.
"My troops will retreat to Jinling. If the Japanese invaders don't fight back, my troops will not return home for a day!" Wang Gongyu was still a bit bookish. Although he looked at Tang Dao with a fierce look, he still spoke every word.
answer.
"But what if Jinling is gone!" Tang Daoshi was shocked.
"Jinling is gone." Wang Gongyu's expression turned ugly. "This is impossible!"
Except for Tang Dao, no one has thought about this possibility, not only the Chinese, but also the Japanese themselves.
Because Jinling is the capital and the heart of the entire China.
Even the Japanese who initiated the war never thought that they could occupy the heart of their huge opponent in one fell swoop.
The combat plan formulated by the Japanese base camp is still on the desk of the Shanghai Dispatch Army Headquarters, and it is already the revised second version of the combat plan.
In fact, to a certain extent, China has to thank those war careerists in Japan whose ambitions are constantly expanding. It is they who have expanded the war, causing Japan as a whole to be like a war machine that is fully wound up, with all its strength.
Not only was it dragged into the quagmire of a protracted war, but it was also forced to initiate the Pacific War, which ultimately wiped out all the country's assets on the war table.
War has always been fought based on economic and industrial strength. Not to mention the current Japan, even if it is allowed to develop for several decades, they may not be able to support such a large-scale war.
At this point, perhaps only one genius-level strategist in Japan can see clearly.
That was Kanji Ishihara, who was the head of the Japan Base Camp Operations Department at the time.
In the early stages of the Battle of Songhu, the Japanese were extremely arrogant and believed that two divisions were enough to defeat all enemies. Who knew that the Chinese army at this time was completely different from that of September 18th.
The two divisions led by Matsui Iwane immediately fell into a bitter fight after entering China and encountered unprecedented strong resistance. In desperation, they had to urgently ask for help from the Japanese base camp, hoping to increase troops immediately.
The Japanese base camp was surprised by Matsui Iwane's request. They couldn't even believe that the Chinese army could block two entire Japanese divisions. So the Japanese General Staff sent a man named Nishimura Toshio to China to investigate the situation.
Not long after, Toshio Nishimura brought back a report that shocked the Japanese base camp, which is roughly as follows: first, the Chinese army fought extremely bravely and tenaciously, and never retreated whether it was attacked by overwhelming artillery fire or surrounded; second, the Chinese army fought extremely bravely and tenaciously.
, the Chinese military and civilians are united and share the same hatred of the enemy; third, the Chinese army has increased its troops massively, with more than 100,000 troops on the front line, and more than 200,000 troops on the second line; fourth, the two divisions led by Matsui Iwane have fallen into a hard fight, and their logistics supplies
I can't keep up. The situation is very serious.
Nishimura Toshio's report very truly and objectively reflected the situation of the Songhu Battle at that time. If the Japanese army tried to defeat China with two divisions, the only result would be to be driven into the sea by the Chinese army to feed the fish.
Although the Japanese base camp understood the real situation, it was still hesitant and debated whether to increase troops.
Among them, Japanese Prime Minister Gen Sugiyama supported the immediate increase of troops, the sooner the better, but Kanji Ishihara, who served as the Minister of War, firmly opposed it, and the two argued endlessly.
As the only genius strategist in the Japanese army, Kanji Ishihara had a completely different understanding of the war of aggression against China. If the Japanese army followed his design ideas, I am afraid that the final outcome of the War of Resistance Against Japan would have changed.
Kanji Ishihara believes that since before Japan’s Meiji Restoration, China has been a dominant presence in Asia and even the world, possessing advanced civilization and technology that make the world tremble. Japan cannot naively think that China is an old and weak country because of the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1894.
, vulnerable. Let alone expect to end the battle in a short time. Once it enters a protracted war, Japan's future will be uncertain.
Kanji Ishihara was also very advanced in his allegory of the air force and the role of atomic bombs in war, so he insisted on implementing the "non-expansion plan" against China and the "final decisive battle plan" using super weapons.
If Japan really follows Ishihara's footsteps and clings to Northeast China after occupying it, giving up the expansion of the war and maximizing the use of Northeast's rich resources, the consequences will be really unimaginable.
According to the war chess deductions of later generations of Chinese military scientists, if this strategy is implemented, China will lose the three eastern provinces forever, unless China has the courage to fight a full-scale war of resistance and not hesitate to involve the remaining land in the flames of war.
Fortunately, that outcome did not happen. The Japanese base camp decided to increase its troops. A total of five divisions and two naval fleets rushed to Songhu.
Kanji Ishihara resigned as a result.
However, the Japanese base camp still listened to Kanji Ishihara's opinion to some extent. In the early stage, it planned to stabilize its footing in Songhu before launching a full-scale war of aggression. In the second version of the battle plan, Shanghai would dispatch troops to attack several defense lines.
Contain your troops first.
However, the Japanese army has always had the tradition of "defeating the superior from below." The Tenth Army transferred from North China did not intend to "follow the rules" in this way. It rushed straight to the gate of Jinling City with overwhelming force, and finally conquered Jinling at a huge cost.
From that moment on, the Japanese army had to tighten its clockwork and activate its war machine with all its strength.
The Japanese themselves could not imagine, and the Chinese certainly could not imagine that there were still hundreds of thousands of troops after retreating from Songhu. How could they be defeated in one blow?
But the fact is that after the defeat in the battle, the morale of the army was low and the morale of the army was disorganized. However, the big bosses in high positions were still busy in intrigues and holding each other back. How could they not be defeated?
Wang Gongyu certainly never thought about this possibility.
"You can lose the important town of Songhu, but why can't you lose Jinling?" Tang Dao sneered again, reached out and pulled out the Sanba bayonet inserted in his leggings, and used the ground as paper and the knife as a pen to draw the current battle map.
In one direction, the main force of the Tenth Army was running along the Beijing-Shanghai Railway, and in the other direction, the Eighteenth Division and the Jiashan front line were facing each other.
Tang Dao pointed at the Jiashan defense line and said calmly: "If the Japanese army comes around from the edge of Taihu Lake, Commissioner Wang, do you think you will have a chance that the Japanese invaders will not return for a day, and that you and the Songjiang security team will not return home for a day?"
"
Wang Gongyu's face suddenly stiffened, and he hesitated for a long time before replying: "But your independent battalion and the army are also here."
"So, retreat is inevitable!" Tang Dao looked away from the battle map he drew, looked into the cold void, and said quietly: "Not only must we retreat to Jinling, but we must retreat further, and then
Save up enough strength to fight the Japanese!"
"You can do it with Tang Dao, why can't I?" Wang Gongyu thought of the 'protracted war' that Tang Dao once said, his face showed weakness, but he was still struggling.
"Because you are a major general, and I am not! This is where I want to go in the future." Tang Dao smiled slightly and whispered two words.
Commissioner Wang's pupils didn't suddenly shrink, but almost didn't dilate.
If he didn't have enough restraint, he would scream out in surprise.
The place name spit out from Tang Dao's mouth sounded like a famous mountain in China, but he understood what it represented, because currently active there was another famous Chinese army.
That clearly means that Tang Dao wants to
"Aren't you afraid that I will report you? Just because of the place name you just mentioned, everything you have now will be lost." Under the moonlight, Wang Gongyu's eyes were cold.
"You won't! When you were the editor-in-chief of the 'Iron Blood' magazine when you were a young man, didn't you also want to save the country and the nation?" Tang Dao smiled lightly, pointed to the southeast and said: "My lord, what will be the outcome of this war?
I’ve also seen that those people can’t save China! Then why don’t we change our thinking and change some people? As for the whistleblower you mentioned, if you do that, the Japanese will probably be the happiest!”
My head is buzzing.
Of course, Wang Gongyu knew in his heart that Tang Dao's judgment was correct, and he would never be so stupid as to do such stupid things as "it hurts those who are close, and pleasure those who are enemies".
At this time, his head finally turned around, what did Tang Dao's so-called "venture capital" invest in?
Those are the two directions currently existing in the country.
However, that power is still very weak now.
That investment is really about the future!
A confused and unknown future.
The risk is huge and crazy!
In a daze, Tang Dao's voice was still heard, "The products of that mountain are rich enough. If they can be transported out, prince, do you think it will be a good business?"
However, this is not important anymore.
I stood there for five minutes!
"I've done this business!" Wanggongyu, who had been fighting for a long time between heaven and man, made a decision by mistake.
Future facts proved that this business was the wisest decision made by the great commissioner in his life.
The business is making a lot of money, and the direction has been chosen correctly.
However, in his words, rather than saying that he wanted to invest in that direction, it was better to say that he was investing in Tang Dao.
From Songjiang to here, everything predicted by Tang Dao came true.
And Tang Dao didn't misjudge him. This businessman was really a good hand, much better than him in commanding troops in war.
Tang Dao really wanted to do business with him.
The future battlefield behind enemy lines will require an agent to turn materials into money, food and various armaments.
This person who crosses the boundaries between officialdom and business circles with enough patriotic enthusiasm has such qualifications.
Of course, what attracted Tang Dao most at this time was the army of five hundred that had been tested by the flames of war.
