Chapter 205 Forgotten?
Regarding the appointment of the battalion commander of the Tangdao Inspector Battalion and deputy director of the General Staff Department, this person had no objection and agreed.
However, he refused to set up the inspection battalion with the Fourth Battalion as the core, but directly asked to use the two infantry companies of the 43rd Army and one company drawn from the 67th Army Guard Battalion as the inspection battalion.
The two lieutenant generals of the 43rd Army were greatly moved. They knew that this was his special care and wanted to leave some seeds for him as much as possible in the 43rd Army, just like the reason why they wanted the Fourth Battalion to be the inspector during the day.
The role of the inspection battalion is naturally to supervise the war, and there is no need to rush to the front line. Even if the entire army is wiped out in the end, the inspection battalion is basically the last group of people to die, and the possibility of survival is far greater than that of the front-line officers and soldiers.
However, no matter how moved the 43rd Army dares to come, they dare to fight. So there is a reason why they, the 67th Army, can avoid the supporters? It is unreasonable to reason.
Guo and Liu looked at each other. As the boss of the 43rd Army, Lieutenant General Guo was about to speak.
"Brother Guo, Brother Liu, don't say much. My 67th Army just rushed from the battlefield in North China to the southeast, and met the old opponent of the 6th Division. It seems that it was God's will. My 67th Army must compete with them again." General Wu waved his hand in a rather domineering manner, and his eyes shone with glory.
"What's more, after carrying the shame for six years, we can only clean it up with our Northeast Army's own blood, so that some people can know that our 67th Army came to Songjiang, not because we didn't know the reason, but because this was a national war!"
The generals who were qualified to participate in the meeting all looked terrified. On the one hand, because what this person said was a bit too much. Once it reached the person's ears, with the person's deep thoughts, even those present would be remembered by him.
Wang Gongyu's face was even more ugly and he almost cried. He didn't expect that the general who came with a 30,000 army had not started fighting, so he pulled him into the pit. How unlucky he would be!
Of course, the meaning of these words is even more obvious. My 67th Army came to die and was not afraid of death. Who else was afraid of offending? I dared to scold him.
Tang Dao has seen the minds and means of the big guys who can have a place in this turbulent era, and there is really no simple person.
Wu Zhong said this not only for a moment of quick success, but also meant to set the tone for the battle between Songjiang.
That is to tell everyone here that the 67th Army represents the Northeast Army. Even if they fight to the last one, they must complete the military order. By the way, they also tell Guo and Liu that he has the final say here. The 43rd Army and the Security Corps are all assisting.
Without a little trick, how could he become the pillar of the Northeast Army after Xiao Zhang, who was imprisoned and General Wang, the second-ranked Northeast Army who died in attack?
Next, we will determine the final combat plan.
Tang Dao and two lieutenant generals spent an afternoon traveling around Songjiang City and the Huangpu River bank more than ten kilometers away from the outside of the city. The three of them racked their brains and came up with a brand new plan.
After the Japanese army occupied the Jinshan Guard and marched towards Songjiang, they had to pass through the surging Huangpu River.
Originally, the two lieutenant generals strongly promoted the position to the bank of the Huangpu River, so that they could set up defenses at layers and deepen the depth of defense, and also delay the time for the Japanese army to advance, so that the Japanese invaders would not cross the river without any pressure and directly attack Songjiang City.
From the perspective of defensive warfare, such a design is of course fine. In fact, they did this in time and space. The 67th Army did not put all its troops in the city, but sent two to three regiments outside the city to find suitable locations to restrain the main force of the Japanese army, so that the Japanese army could not attack Songjiang City with all their strength. In the end, although the Songjiang defenders suffered huge casualties, they still completed the military order to block the Japanese army for three days and nights.
However, doing so undoubtedly puts the Chinese soldiers on the bank of the Huangpu River in the Japanese artillery fire, with only 12 hours of preparation time at most, and it is impossible to complete the anti-aircraft fortifications that can prevent 120 caliber artillery.
That almost means that delaying the Japanese army for several hours is the life of thousands of soldiers. The same is true in the past time and space, even the two major generals and brigade commanders of the 67th Army who were sitting beside Tang Dao were killed outside the city.
Although the final result was achieved, the strategic goal of blocking three days and nights was achieved, the price paid was too heavy after all.
Especially for Tang Dao, a little butterfly from the future, he knew even more about the tragic pain that the 67th Army general suffered. The sacrificed lieutenant general was not only unfair, but was falsely accused of surrendering to the enemy. The 67th Army's number was cancelled and reduced to an infantry division, which made everyone who knew this history feel indignant.
Therefore, Tang Dao firmly opposed this defensive plan that exchanges life for time.
His suggestion is very simple, the entire army abandons the periphery, retracts the city, and fights an early version of the Hengyang defense battle.
As long as the 10th Japanese Army is brave enough, they will chew it. Songjiang, which has more than 30,000 troops, is not just a hard bone that can break the big teeth, but a ferocious beast that can backfire at any time.
The Battle of Hengyang, which took place in the next few years, was in this way that the 100,000 Japanese troops were beaten to tears, so that in the end, the Japanese generals personally came forward to persuade them to surrender, and in the name of their Emperor, vowed not to abuse prisoners of war, and even allowed senior officers to leave with their wounded soldiers.
I just want Chinese soldiers to stop guarding and symbolically hand over the city of Hengyang, which has been ruined, to them.
It’s not that the Japanese don’t want to kill the defenders to take revenge, but that they really can’t fight. The number of casualties of the 100,000 Japanese troops far exceeds that of the Chinese army guarding the city.
In the battle of one and a half months, there were more than 17,000 people in the Chinese side, with more than 16,000 casualties, and only a thousand remained. However, 110,000 Japanese troops died in battle and more than 50,000 wounded. If they continue to fight, several divisions under the 11th Army of the Japanese army can be completely reduced into one division.
The general who is fully qualified to be the commander of the front army turned into the commander of the lieutenant general division was much more unlucky than the guy Jiro Wakita in the battle of Sixing Warehouse.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Songjiang now has more than 30,000 people, and it saves some ammunition and grain, which is enough to last for a month. If the 10th Army also wants to form the 10th Division, you can try it.
Moreover, Tang Dao was very sure that the guy Yanagawa Heisuke would not have so much time, and he would highly likely admit defeat and change the course. However, at that time, hundreds of thousands of troops in Shanghai and western China had basically retreated.
"You guys, it doesn't matter if you want to spend my 43rd Army's capital in Songjiang. Anyway, I'm just that little man, but what about the 67th Army? Do you think they will think so? Do you believe it or not, they will knock you out with one shot!" Lieutenant General Guo, who was standing on the Huangpu River, glared at Tang Dao for a long time before cursing.
"Since you dare to come here, you won't be afraid of this. I believe in the 67th Army." Tang Dao acted like a naughty man at that time.
Obviously, the silly young man is right.
As soon as the combat meeting began, the strong commander of the 67th Army, Songjiang Front, had already set the tone.
Tang Dao's combat plan agreed almost without hesitation.
That is to know that the extremely decisive combat plan that buried everyone half in the soil was actually done by Tang Dao. This person was a little surprised, but he was relieved soon.
The lieutenant colonel battalion commander who dared to fight fiercely in Sihang Warehouse and ten times more than himself was in a desperate situation, which seemed not new.
Of course, the subsequent defense zone planning is not something that Tang Dao can decide. Several generals are all veterans.
In addition to the four walls, the urban area with the most densely populated houses outside the East Gate is also a key defense area. Unless the Japanese army had enough shells to razed the residential area with an area of several square kilometers to the ground, they had to send infantry to occupy it bit by bit.
It was an excellent street fighting battlefield.
There is also Kura City, located 800 meters west of the city, which is also an extremely important position in the geographical location. If the Japanese army wants to attack that city wall, they will be attacked by the cross-attack of the firepower of the city wall and Kura City firepower.
However, both positions are located outside the city, and the attacks and casualties suffered must be very heavy.
But obviously, for these leading generals, as long as they can hit the enemy to the greatest extent, the casualties will no longer be within their focus.
The defense zone was determined, and the next step was to assign combat tasks. The Songjiang Security Corps became their battlefield because it was familiar with the residential area in the east of the city.
This time, Commissioner Wang, who was frightened at any time, was probably completely flattened and accepted the military order calmly.
Liu Yuqing originally planned to fight for the life-and-death defense zone of Cangcheng, but was rejected. However, this time it was not the Northeastern man who wanted to take care of the Sichuan Army, which had few people. But after hearing the current firepower configuration of the 43rd Army, this person was completely shocked.
A fire support company actually had two mountain cannons, four infantry cannons, eight heavy machine guns, and four mortars.
Isn’t such awesome firepower good to fight Japanese in the main urban area? After all, this is the main battlefield.
It was nothing that the 43rd Army had not found a position that wanted to show off its blood and courage. Seeing that the defense zones were all divided, not to mention that the second-tier positions in the city were divided, and even the troops stations on the first-tier lines were decided, the combat meeting immediately summarized the statements, but the famous Four-Ling Battalion was not even mentioned by the big boss.
