"Taking space for time, the camera will strike, and the combat power will be pre-located in East China, leading the enemy from east to west, and attacking and defense in axial direction..."

Jiang Baili also suggested: start the war from Shanghai and expand it, lure the Japanese army up the river, place the decisive battlefield in Shanghai, concentrate the main force to annihilate the Japanese army's vital forces, and then fight and retreat, and move each line to the rear one after another.

We will definitely not be able to win in the early stage, so we must be prepared to defeat the war or even defeat the war. The purpose is to drag the front and to kill the Japanese...

Xiong Shihui added: He repeatedly defeated and fought repeatedly; immigrants cleared things, strengthened the walls and cleared the fields; avoided the real and attacked the virtual, hiding in the day and moving at night.

Are you very familiar?

This proposition was called "Protracted War" at the time and was later included in General Jiang Baili's "On National Defense".

After the fall of North China, the Battle of Shanghai and the Battle of Nanjing implemented this strategy.

The method is good, but when used in the hands of specific people, various problems will arise.

In both battles, due to the chairman's hesitation, indecision, repeated orders, miscommand commands, generals who were in the war and fled, etc., the planned battle and retreat into a large-scale escape.

The will be turned on every day, and the corresponding defense is also being done, but it cannot resist the Japanese's movements too fast and cunning.

Starting from the Nine, the Japanese army negotiated three times with the Twenty-Nine Army, and all ended with Japan unilaterally tearing down the agreement.

It was not until after the 20th that when they learned that the Japanese army had assembled more than 60,000 troops in North China, that Song Zheyuan and the Nanjing government realized that they were all fooled by the Japanese.

It was too late to mobilize the main force, and even the 29th Army was not prepared to start a war.

Song Zheyuan could only grit his teeth and beat him.

If he doesn't fight, he will be the second son Zhang.

From the 28th to the 30th, in just three days, Peking and Tianjin were successively lost, and North China was completely undermined.

Deputy Commander Tong Lingge, and Zhao Dengyu, Commander of the 132nd Division, died heroically for the country.

...

Fang Buwei has always been afraid because of his existence and history may turn at critical moments.

That's why he ran to the United States to avoid Wang Zhaoming's assassination and the Xi'an Incident.

History has indeed not turned around, and there is no difference from the previous life.

But Fang Buwei couldn't be happy at this time.

Fang Buwei always felt that God made a big joke with him.

When he wanted to change, he found that nothing could change.

What if you know the key nodes?

The Battle Hall has proposed more than once that the Japanese used the trick of building a plank road openly and secretly passing Chen Cang.

Fang Buwei asked for his appointments once, and asked to lead the elite troops of the anti-espionage stock to go to the northeast to North China to investigate the movements of the Japanese army.

But no one agreed.

Gu Zhenlong even advised him that even if he could detect the Kwantung Army gathering in North China, it would not play a big role.

Because most people would not believe that the Japanese army would go to full war until the last moment.

Including Chairman and Song Zheyuan.

Fang Buwei knew that what Gu Zhenlong said made sense, and even if he bit his teeth, he would be helpless.

Not to mention now, even when Nanjing fell, the Chairman was fantasizing about using war to promote cooperation, and Britain, the United States and other countries came forward to mediate.

That is why inconsistent military orders were issued during the Battle of Baohuai in Shanghai and the Battle of Nanjing, causing the commander to be in a hurry and the morale of the army to be greatly damaged.

Damn it, at worst, you can die on the battlefield.

Fang Buwei gritted his teeth secretly.

At most half a month, the Battle of Shanghai started, and he could not miss it no matter what.

Fang Buwei started planning how to send himself to Shanghai.

For this reason, he secretly sent a telegram to Yu Erjun.

Overseas Chinese all over the world have industries in Shanghai. Once war begins, they will definitely ask the National Government to protect it. Then the time is the best time.

Fang Buwei's telegram had just been sent out, and he was about to give him a blow to Gu Zhenlong, but Gu Zhenlong came to find him first.

Something big happened!

The fall of North China made the Chairman give up again. He decided to implement Jiang Baili's "protracted war" and plan to deploy the "Shanghu Battle".

On the 28th, the Chairman deployed a plan to block the Yangtze River and clear out Japanese warships and Japanese merchant ships at the headquarters meeting.

But after just one day, Jiangyin Fortress was in the future and the defense was deployed. It was originally stopped at Xiaguan, and a Japanese warship that would bombard the Presidential Palace at any time actually fled to Shanghai like crazy?

Then there is a Japanese merchant ship...

When the information was transmitted back to Nanjing, the Japanese ships on the Yangtze River basically disappeared.

No matter how stupid the government of the Republic of China was, he knew that the plan had been leaked.
Chapter completed!
