The picture is pulled back to the garrison headquarters.

After Tang Mengxiao adopted Yang Jing's suggestion and conveyed the order, Rai Duo said again: "Sir, our team has another suggestion, that is, strengthen publicity and defense in Wuhu area.

Because, once the Japanese army's frontal attack is frustrated, they will definitely take the south bank of Taihu Lake and attack from Huzhou and Guangde. After taking down Xuancheng and Wuhu, they will directly turn the troops and move down the Yangtze River waterway to launch an advance, threatening the back of the garrison!

So, please set defenses in advance, the superiors!"

Tang Mengxiao followed another meaning in Rae's words and asked: "So, Commander Yang is very confident. As long as he follows his combat policy, he will definitely defeat the Japanese attack?"

Rake's ears said: "I dare not say that I defeat the Japanese army, but it is no problem to defeat the Japanese army's agility.

The specific results can be achieved depends on the execution ability and military command capabilities of the front-line commander."

Seeing that Rae's ears said so confidently, Tang Mengxiao's confidence also increased a lot.

At that moment, he immediately gave instructions to the communications officer, ordering him to immediately generate electricity in the name of the garrison headquarters and ordering the front-line defenders in Jurong and Lishui to strictly abide by his previous orders. If there is any negligence, he will be severely punished!

After the communications officer left, Tang Mengxiao said again: "Since Commander Yang is so confident about his combat plan, can we transfer the Hu Ben regiment from Yangzhou to the south bank of the Yangtze River?"

"Sir, no!" Luo Youqing hurriedly said, "Sir, if the Hu Ben Regiment is dispatched to the south bank of the Yangtze River, which unit can be competent to guard Yangzhou and ensure the important task of our army's defense line?

For example, the day before yesterday, if the Hu Ben Group had not guarded Yangzhou, the Guoqi Detachment might have advanced to the Pukou area."

When Tang Mengxiao heard this, he had to give up.

After the mission was completed, Rae'er also bid farewell to the senior officials of the garrison headquarters, and took his several guards back to Yangzhou overnight to report.

"Come on! Let's deduce it based on Captain Yang's combat plan."

During extraordinary times, the senior officials of the garrison headquarters were already unable to sleep at night.

It was already 4 a.m., so I started to perform war chess deductions directly in the combat room.

The more they deduce, the more excited the expressions on their faces became.

As the defensive side, although it still ended in failure at the beginning, it caused trouble and casualties to the Japanese offensive far beyond the past.

And, as the deduction continues, there are wins and losses slowly.

Although this is just a war game deduction, it can explain many problems.

Therefore, the big guys in the headquarters have become more energetic, and there is no sleepiness in them...

...

The next day, the Japanese army attacked as usual.

Taking advantage of the situation, the army occupied the Danyang City and Jintan City, which had abandoned the army, continued to rush towards the country with an arrogant and unlimited defense line.

Shanghai.

Japanese Central China Front Command.

After receiving the defenders voluntarily retreated to the second line of defense, the offensive troops easily occupied Danyang City and Jintan City without spending almost a soldier, a gun and an ammunition.

A long-lost sinister smile finally appeared on the face of the old Japanese devil, Matsui Ishigen.

He began to discuss matters after conquering Nanjing with his chief of staff, Tsukataba, in the combat room.

At this moment, a communications officer suddenly rushed in from outside.

Matsui Ishigen's face darkened and he asked unhappily: "Why are you so panicked?"

"Hayi!" The communications staff member paused heavily, and then lowered his head slightly to report: "Commander, according to the front line, the Chongteng Detachment was suddenly ambushed by the Chinese army when it occupied Jintan City after occupying Jintan City. Its vanguard, the Taiwan Infantry Regiment's Battalion, was almost broken!"

"Nani?" Matsui Ishigen's face changed. Then, he found the location of Xuebu Township on the map. After finding that it was not a dangerous place, he couldn't help but angrily said: "Baga Road! What is this Shinfu Chiaki for?"

Chief of Staff Tsukata, Tsukada, was busy comforting him, "Commander, the troops of this Teng Fuji Detachment are mostly Taiwanese, and their combat effectiveness is far from comparable to that of our Great Japanese Imperial Army.

If the Chinese army ambushed, it is reasonable to be frustrated in the attack.

However, Major General Shigetoki Chiaki's military command ability is unquestionable. I believe that it will take too long to lead the main force and annihilate all the cunning Chinese army!"

"Um!"

Matsui Ishigen nodded with consent.

However, what the two old Japanese devils, Matsui Ishione and Tsukadada, never expected was that what they were waiting for was not the good news from the Shigefune Detachment, but the other attacking troops all heard bad news of the attack being frustrated.

Matsui Ishione could no longer suppress his anger and couldn't help but become furious: "Waste! Waste! They are all useless wastes! What are Yoshika Ryosuke, Ogisu Ribe and Shigeji Sumatsu for food?"

If the Chongteng Detachment is composed of Taiwanese, its lack of combat effectiveness has led to a setback in the offense.

However, the 9th Division, the 3rd Division, and the 4th Division are the most elite Imperial Army units.

In particular, the 9th Division and the 3rd Division are one of the seven most powerful permanent A-type divisions, and they were also frustrated under the ambush of the defenders in China, which made Matsui Ishigen, an old devil who could not bear it anymore.

Chief of Staff Tsukada Oshi marked the positions where the attacking troops were ambushed one by one.

Then he said to Matsui Ishione: "Mr. Commander, I don't know if you have noticed it. From the map, the ambushing locations of the Shigefuji Detachment, the 9th Division, the 3rd Division, and the 4th Division are all not dangerous places."

It would be fine if Tsukada Oku didn't say it, but after saying it, the old Japanese devil, Matsui Ishigen, was even more angry.

He said with an old face gloomy: "You can attack in these places and suffer setbacks. If you are in more dangerous passes, cities and other places, wouldn't you still be defeated?

With the poor performance of these wastes, when will the base camp complete the combat order to destroy China?”

After thinking for a moment, Tsukada Oku said, "Master, I think we are all in a misunderstanding."

"Misunderstanding?" Matsui Ishien was stunned and asked, "What misunderstanding?"

Tsukata attacked the map with his finger and asked without answering, "God General, in your opinion, if there was no defeat of the Imperial Army's attacking troops, would you think the Chinese army would set up ambush in these positions?"

After Matsui Ishien pondered for a while, although he was unwilling, he finally chose to shake his head.

Tsukada Oshi continued: "Yes! Not only do we not think that the Chinese army will set up ambush in these inconspicuous positions, but the Imperial Army's front-line offensive forces also think so.

It is precisely because of this that the offensive troops suffered a big loss in surprise.”

After pausing, Tsukada Toshiro changed his voice and continued to say with his finger on the battle map: "Master, I wonder if you think that the Chinese army's defense deployment, deployment of troops, and their offensive methods today have a very familiar feeling."

After Matsui Ishigen pondered for a moment, he suddenly looked up and said, "Zuzukada, what do you mean? Did the Chinese Army's arrangement today come from Yang Jing?"

"Hayi!" Tsukada Oshi suddenly said, "Looking at the Chinese army commanders we are familiar with, almost all of them are conservatives.

They were backward in their minds and had a rigid tactics, and only knew how to keep a blind eye.

Rarely do things that win in danger.

And the Imperial Army is also used to dealing with such Chinese troops."

Matsui Ishigen nodded with consent.

Tsukada Oku said again: "Master, look at the sudden change of the Chinese army today, if we know in advance or prepare in advance.

Not only did their strategic plan fail to work, but they might even be defeated by the imperial army by giving up their existing solid fortifications!

Speaking of which, this is also a mistake in intelligence by the Imperial Army.”

After saying this, Tsukada Tora turned his mind again: "Among the commanders of the Chinese army, the only one we are familiar with is Yang Jing, who never acts according to common sense.

This led to the Imperial Army's failure to respond and suffered repeated setbacks!

Therefore, it is almost certain that the sudden change of the Chinese army today must have been made by Yang Jing!

Only he dares to break the rules so risky!

I have to say that his plan succeeded again!”

"Yang Jing! Yang Jing! It's this hateful Yang Jing again!"

The anger that Matsui Ishikone suppressed in his heart for a long time completely erupted and said furiously: "Am I afraid that I can't find a commander in the Great Japanese Imperial Army who can defeat Yang Jing?"

After venting his anger, Matsui Ishigen couldn't help feeling a little sad.

Originally, the Imperial Army, with the great victory in the Battle of Shanghai, should have swept the defeated China under the cover of strong firepower in land, sea and air. The army occupied Nanjing like taking objects.

Who knew that Yang Jing suddenly appeared halfway through the battle of Baoshan and grew up and rose in the Battle of Songhu.

When he arrived in the Battle of Nanjing, he had become the biggest concern of the Imperial Army.

This made Matsui Ishigen, the old Japanese devil very depressed and angry, and at the same time he was a little helpless.

After Matsui Ishigen took a deep breath, he bit his back teeth and said slowly: "Since the Battle of Shanghai, the Imperial Army has been fighting bloody for nearly four months. Although it has obtained the initiative in the battlefield and won the Battle of Songhu, the losses of each unit cannot be ignored!

Especially the 3rd, 6th and 6th Divisions of the Imperial Army.

Although they have received re-elected personnel, their combat effectiveness is no longer as good as before.

There is no more time and mobile troops left for us.

Therefore, we must win this battle as soon as possible before the endurance of each unit is exhausted!

Otherwise, the more you drag it down, it will only be more unfavorable to the Imperial Army!"

Tsukada Oku thought for a moment and said, "Commander, the Chinese army now has Yang Jing to provide tactical guidance. This person is very tricky and never plays according to common sense.

In addition to the repeated defeats of the imperial army, the Chinese army will inevitably have a high morale and its combat effectiveness will be greatly improved.

If we want to break through the defense line of the Chinese army from the front and then occupy Nanjing, we don’t know how much life and blood of the imperial warriors will be spent!

This kind of hard battle consumes too much for troops, weapons, ammunition, and even national strength.

Even if we can defeat the Chinese army in the end and thus occupy their capital, Nanjing, the price the Imperial Army will probably pay far beyond our endurance.
