While the Japanese army was attacking North Korea, they also implemented military changes in southern China that included anti-aircraft artillery, anti-aircraft defense, and re-occupation of the air. Hu Zhiyong was surprised: "Where did he get the anti-aircraft gun blueprints?"
"Germany." Dechang has been operating in the south and soon told the third son of the Hu family the inside story.
"Since Germany has given the little Japanese anti-aircraft guns the blueprints, they will definitely get more powerful long-range artillery fire. In this way, Wuhan will be in danger." Hu Zhiyong kept walking in the living room, and the things in front of him became unbelievable and gave him a headache.
stand up.
The lefh18 is a howitzer designed in 1918. It was one of the best artillery guns at the time. It had excellent ballistics carefully designed for long distances. It was a typical German weapon, light in weight, and could use various types of shells.
If Hu Zhiyong was commanding this battle, he would take advantage of strengths and avoid weaknesses, take the initiative, and use the advantages of self-propelled rocket launchers to disperse attacks against groups of howitzers. However, the Chinese army's command was rigid and they did not dare to fight the enemy for fear of losses.
Once Wuhan falls, Chongqing will inevitably be bombed by planes. Will the tragedy in history happen again?
"Tell Chiang Kai-shek that I want to meet him!" Hu Zhiyong finally decided that the Wuhan Battle could be ended, but it must inflict heavy losses on the Japanese army to stop him from bombing Chongqing.
Hu Zhiyong wanted to go to the front line in person. Bai Chongxi, Li Zongren and others were very happy. However, when he hurried over with only one guard company, everyone was disappointed.
"You want me to bring troops here?" Hu Zhiyong smiled and joked with everyone: "Those guys are very possessive. I'm afraid I won't be able to control myself and take away your territory."
"Hahahaha, if you want to occupy it, you have to occupy the Japanese war zone. If you can drive away all the little devils, I have no objection to leaving the territory to you to manage!" Bai Chongxi cunningly used alienation tactics, which made Chiang Kai-shek's heart clear.
Produce a bit of fear.
"Forget it, I'd rather be a businessman and have fun." Hu Zhiyong understood Bai Chongxi's intentions and brought the matter back to the topic with a faint smile.
It has been nearly four months since the Battle of Wuhan started in June. Due to the inadequate operational guidance of the top decision-makers and some senior generals, they consumed themselves too much while consuming the enemy. The main reason was that the battle was simply carried out
Defend the position and compete with the Japanese army for attrition.
When Hu Zhiyong arrived, Bai Chongxi voluntarily handed over the command. He smiled and shook his head: "I will serve as your chief of staff. Please give the principal an order: Those who fail to fight will be killed!"
All the generals trembled and looked at Chiang Kai-shek who said nothing.
"Are you sure of winning this battle?" Lao Jiang first locked Hu Zhiyong, hoping that the battle in Wuhan would turn around.
"The northern foot of the Dabie Mountains is tightly guarded. The troops from the First War Zone will send me an army. Let go of the front-line defense in Guangzhou and attack from West Lake and Huizhou. The 27 armies of Commander Chen Cheng from the Ninth War Zone will attack across the board when the battle starts!
"
Hu Zhiyong used his baton to assign tasks, and finally turned around and said with a smile: "When the ninth and third theaters encircle the Japanese army, the first theater will drive out all the enemies in the Dabie Mountains!"
"Third Young Master, I admire your plan!" Bai Chongxi looked at it carefully for a long time and said worriedly: "What if the Japanese army marches towards Guangzhou? Our back will be in danger!"
"Don't worry, you will be guarded by the Hong Kong troops. Don't you worry about them too?" Hu Zhiyong smiled slightly and said to several artillery and tank units: "You have to form a skirmish line to attack. If you find Japanese artillery fire, don't be scrupulous.
Attack from all directions to the appropriate position. In this battle, we will fight with the Japanese army with bayonets!"
"Bayonets?" All the national army generals were surprised. The little Japanese stabbed very fiercely. I don't know how many people will die with this kind of tactics.
"Yes, bayonets!" Hu Zhiyong laughed loudly: "Use our assault rifles to engage in a close combat with the little Japanese's bayonets!"
"Brilliant!" Bai Chongxi had already understood the key points of Hu Zhiyong's decision-making, and said loudly to the officers: "We used to waste the troops in the third theater, and we were also worried about the howitzers of the little devils. Now, we are spreading our attack to the nose of the Japanese army.
Down there, use the power of the rocket launcher to send the little devil back to the East!"
"No!" Hu Zhiyong hurriedly stopped, looked at the national army generals, and said coldly: "In this battle, I want the little devils to be frightened and never dare to take the initiative to attack again! The Japanese army is defeated, and I hope that all the armies will go all out to catch up. Hefei, Xinyang and so on
The entire southern region must be recovered!”
"Yes!" Perhaps it was Hu Zhiyong who brought confidence to everyone. All the officers roared loudly and agreed in unison, showing the momentum of the soldiers.
As Lao Jiang watched, he had a high opinion of Hu Zhiyong's courage and commanding skills. At this time, he stood up and said to the theater commanders: "Wherever the battle is ineffective, I will use military law to deal with it without mercy!"
"yes!"
"Go back and prepare." Chiang Kai-shek asked the theater commander to leave, and sat down again with Hu Zhiyong and Bai Chongxi. Li Zongren faced the third son of the Hu family and looked at him with admiration.
"Am I very beautiful?" Hu Zhiyong felt embarrassed and had to joke.
"You are extremely courageous!" Li Zongren sat down and said politely to Hu Zhiyong: "Commander Shunroku Hata commands the 2nd and 11th armies, a total of about 140 brigades with 250,000 troops, responsible for the battle against Wuhan. The commander is Okamura Neiji.
The 5 and a half divisions of the 11th Army mainly attacked Wuhan along both sides of the Yangtze River; the 4 and a half divisions of the 2nd Army commanded by King Higashino Miyazaki to assist Wuhan along the northern foot of the Dabie Mountains. As well as more than 120 ships of the Navy and Kawako Shiro's 3rd Fleet, and 500 aviation regiments
More than one plane.
The five divisions under the direct control of the Central China Expeditionary Force are respectively responsible for guarding Shanghai, Nanjing, Hangzhou and other areas. From your arrangement, I did not hear a word about how to deal with the navy, air force and Japanese reinforcements in Shanghai and Nanjing."
Li Zongren's words suddenly made Lao Jiang feel excited again. Bai Chongxi nodded: "The air force can dispatch our air force to meet the enemy. Who will deal with the navy? Who will deal with the Japanese reinforcements?"
Hu Zhiyong smiled, looked at the three national army supreme headquarters, and said cheerfully: "Since I did not take into account the steps in the battle plan, let my guard company deal with the Japanese navy, Shanghai, and the enemy of Nanjing. I believe he will not
Dare to move!"
Li Zongren said dissatisfiedly: "What if reinforcements come?"
"It seems that I have dispatched an army from the first theater. What do you think they should do?" Hu Zhiyong smiled and did not express indignation at Li Zongren's attitude.
"Yes, use this army to stop the Japanese army!" Lao Jiang nodded with satisfaction.
"It's not about blocking, nor about positional warfare." Hu Zhiyong stood up again, walked to the map and pointed at Fuyang: "Move them here. Once the Japanese army is dispatched, give me the opportunity to capture Nanjing!"
"What a great gesture!" Bai Chongxi stood up and explained to Li Zongren: "With the roundabout troops in the third theater, they can divide into two steps at any time to block the enemy reinforcements from Shanghai. I have also considered this."
"Sai Zhuge seems to have wronged you too much. You should have been alive when Kong Ming was alive!" Hu Zhiyong happily praised Bai Chongxi once, and flattered Bai Chongxi without revealing anything.
The Kuomintang suddenly turned from defense to offense, and the Japanese army panicked. Facing the impact of more than 700,000 troops, their total strength of more than 200,000 troops was simply unable to resist. Not long after the artillery showed its power, it was overtaken by the tanks and self-propelled rocket launchers of the National Army.
On fire.
The Japanese aircraft took off, and the Chinese jet fighters rushed to meet the enemy. Perhaps the excitement of the large army's attack stimulated the air force, and they started aerial competition with the Japanese army in a one-on-three air battle.
The Japanese navy was even more miserable. The moment it started, it was targeted and struck by Hu Zhiyong's guard company with surface-to-surface missile launchers. The two largest warships caught fire, and the other ships began to run towards the East China Sea desperately.
In two days, Chiang Kai-shek saw the power of his troops and the vulnerability of the Japanese army. He sighed and said to Li Zongren: "The third young master of the Hu family is indeed a good military talent."
"Yes." Li Zongren couldn't help but admire him. He admired Bai Chongxi's military command, but he admired Hu Zhiyong's large army operations even more.
Okamura was extremely anxious. Through aerial reconnaissance, he discovered that after a month of fierce fighting, the defensive gap between Nanxun Road and Ruiwu Road was getting wider and wider. At this time, he sent a surprise force to pass through the gap and suddenly appeared behind the defenders.
, then the 200,000 Chinese defenders in front of Nanxun Road may be surrounded by three Japanese divisions.
Okamura divided the 106th Division into five parts in order to covertly pass through the gaps in the national defense line and support each other when attacked. On September 25, the 106th Division officially began operations and entered Wanjialing west of De'an.
area, lost due to map errors.
The Japanese army wanted to use a sneak attack, but was discovered by Xue Yue. He immediately commanded the 4th, 66th, 74th Army and other units to move around from the side and surround it. The Japanese 27th Division reinforced it and arrived at Baishui Street west of Wanjialing.
The area was repulsed by the 32nd Army and other units.
On October 7, the Chinese army launched a general offensive and fought fiercely for three days and nights, defeating the Japanese counterattacks many times. The Japanese army was isolated and without support and supplies were cut off. By the 10th of the battle, more than 3,000 people of the Japanese 106th Division were wiped out. This was the main battle in northern Jiangxi.
The battle that wiped out the most enemies.
Hu Zhiyong sighed: "This coincides with history, but compared with the overall battlefield, the number of enemies annihilated seems to be much smaller!"
"With victory in sight, should we order the troops to go north in a roundabout way and drive the Japanese Second Army out of the Dabie Mountains?" Bai Chongxi's appetite grew.
"No!" Hu Zhiyong stood in front of the map and looked at it: "The areas besieged on the front line must be completely annihilated, and then retreat based on key points!"
"Retreat?" Lao Jiang frowned dissatisfied, waiting for Hu Zhiyong to continue.
"The Japanese army will increase its troops. Principal, if you want to drive away the Japanese army on the front line in Kaifeng, transfer the troops from the third theater area. Use this kind of tactics in combat. Jiangnan will become the grave of the little devils!"
After Hu Zhiyong finished speaking, he stood up. Bai Chongxi was surprised: "You want to leave?"
"I am a businessman." Hu Zhiyong smiled: "There is no longer a threat in Wuhan, and the principal will not give me a Blue Sky and White Sun Medal."
"Who says I won't give it?" Chiang Kai-shek stood up: "Needless to say this battle, based on your contribution to the war against Japan in the past few years, you deserve this medal!"
"Oh?" Hu Zhiyong smiled: "Okay, I will accept the medal, but I have to go!"
"Go, remember to send me ammunition and food." Bai Chongxi knew that Hu Zhiyong would not stay, so he smiled and offered supplies.
"Don't worry!" Hu Zhiyong shook hands with them one by one and said carelessly: "When the Anti-Japanese War is victorious, all these things will be turned into money for me. Of course, I will not ask for it from the Nationalist Government. I will go to the island country to find the emperor to settle the matter.
General ledger!”
Little did Chiang Kai-shek know that there was something in Hu Zhiyong's words. After hearing this, he said cheerfully: "Okay, it's yours to come here, but just don't settle the score with me!"
"Really?" Hu Zhiyong asked, pretending to be serious.
"Really!" the veteran replied affirmatively.
"Don't worry, this day will come!" Hu Zhiyong laughed, raised his hands and said goodbye to everyone. The guard company hurriedly started the vehicle and started walking south to Hong Kong. Bai Chongxi was thoughtful, and after a long time he whispered: "He
If he has the ability, maybe he will really take action against the island country!"
