After explaining the preparations for the establishment of the political party, Li Weidong went to the war room of the headquarters. The war situation was unclear, and Li Weidong did not dare to take it lightly. He would go to the war room every day to pay attention to the military developments on the front line.
Now, the war in Nanjing is still in a stalemate. Although the Hainan Army has the overall advantage, the Japanese army still has a combat effectiveness that cannot be underestimated.
As the war situation worsened, Matsui Iwane wanted to withdraw the main force, but was intercepted by the Hainan Army. The line between Zhenjiang and Danyang was like a pair of scissors, dividing the Japanese army attacking Nanjing into two sections. The battle situation was very difficult for the Japanese army.
It's getting more and more critical.
However, in contrast, the continuous lengthening of the front line has stretched the limited strength of the Hainan Army. The first field army of the Hainan Army, which is alone and deeply entrenched, will face a possible siege by the Japanese army. Until now in the Battle of Nanjing, both sides have some problems.
They were exhausted and eager to end this battle.
"General! The latest battle report from the Second Field Army!" Gao Yi looked a little excited and quickly came to Li Weidong and handed him a battle report.
"What's the good news?" Li Weidong had noticed Gao Yi's look a long time ago, so he asked first.
"Our army has captured Danyang County, completely annihilated the Japanese 9th Division, killed the division commander Yoshizumi Ryosuke, and at the same time annihilated the remnants of the Japanese 16th Division! Haha, the little devil can be regarded as losing his wife this time
Another defeat!" Gao Yi couldn't help laughing.
"Really? This is indeed good news! However, with the strength of the Second Army, victory is inevitable. Is it worth your joy?" Li Weidong asked in confusion.
According to Li Weidong's understanding, Gao Yi's character has always been full of joy and anger, and for him to have such a big reaction, it seems that there must be another hidden reason in this matter!
"That's because the telegram said that we captured two relatively complete regiment flags of the 16th Division this time! The artillery shells directly buried the Japanese flag guard, and the two Japanese regiment flags were discovered by the soldiers from the ruins!
"Gao Yi looked very happy. He knew that Li Weidong had a hobby of collecting Japanese army flags.
"Union flag? And there are two of them?" Li Weidong was also very surprised, and then very happy. Among his collections, there was only one burned-out unit flag with only half of it left, for which Li Weidong felt regretful many times.
Unexpectedly, I could collect a complete united flag this time.
Perhaps because of his great love for history, Li Weidong has a special fondness for those items of World War II collection value, and it once evolved into a hobby. Sometimes he thinks, if he can take away the crown on Elizabeth's head and the civilized stick in Hitler's hand.
, all the pots of smoke that Stalin held in his mouth were added to his collection.
Of course, Li Weidong does not have this ability now. No matter what he wants to do, it will have to wait until later.
"Very good, let's order Wang Shanhu, commander of the Second Field Army, to tell them to stand by where they are! By the way, what's the situation over there with the First Field Army now?" Li Wei asked suddenly.
Upon hearing this, Gao Yi immediately reported the latest trends of the Hainan Army's First Field Army: "The First Army's position should have reached Jiangning City now, but it encountered stubborn resistance from the Japanese 133rd Division, and the battle is still stalemate!"
"Jiangning?!" Li Weidong's finger slowly moved across the map, and he quickly found the location of Jiangning City.
Seeing this, Li Weidong fell into deep thought for a while. The Japanese army's large-scale invasion of Nanjing can be roughly divided into three routes: North, Central and South. The North Route Army was mainly composed of the Japanese Navy and a small number of Japanese troops coming from the southeast of Shandong, while the Middle Route Army was
From the main force of the Songhu Battle, the Southern Route Army attempted to detour from Zhejiang and Anhui to cut off the National Army's retreat from the rear.
However, due to the military intervention of the Hainan Army, the Japanese army's three-pronged offensive plan completely failed. The Japanese South Route Army was attacked head-on by the Hainan Army at the beginning, and the Japanese Thirteenth Division's commander Feng Kawajiro was killed.
, wiped out in one battle.
The Zhenjiang Bridge, which the Japanese Northern Route Army must pass through, was occupied by the Hainan Army's airborne division in advance. The failure of these two route armies, and the Hainan Army's Second Field Army's capture of Danyang to cut off the Japanese army's retreat, all made the Japanese army's current situation
It was difficult to move forward, so only the middle route army was left, which could become an important weight for the Japanese army to turn defeat into victory.
Jiangning District is located in the south-central part of Nanjing City, bordering Jurong to the east and Pukou District of Nanjing City across the river to the west. It has an advantageous geographical location and is a place of "six generations of luxury" and an important place in the "Ten Dynasty Capital Region". It is also the center of the Japanese Army's Central Route Army.
The only way to attack Antarctica is that its military strategic location is extremely important.
The Hainan Army's First Field Army had just arrived in Jiangning, and before it could gain a foothold, it was about to face a desperate attack by the Japanese army. What he was most worried about was that the blocked Japanese army gave up the attack on Nanjing, and concentrated their forces with the Japanese army in the direction of Jurong to besiege Jiangning.
Once the Jiangning front line breaks through, the Hainan Army's military deployment will be completely passive.
It seems that the coming war will not be easy. Li Weidong's mood is not optimistic. And the Japanese commander-in-chief Matsui Iwane also has very vicious eyes, and he has keenly observed the limitations of the forces that the Hainan Army can use.
At this time, Gao Yi also knew that the current situation of the Hainan Army was not optimistic. He put away his previous relaxed and happy mood and sighed: "The Third Army is now also held back by the Japanese army in the direction of Changzhou and cannot escape for a while.
Therefore, the situation of the First Army is not optimistic!"
Li Weidong nodded. Matsui Iwane is indeed a more difficult opponent. In terms of the combat effectiveness of the Hainan Army and the Japanese army, one or two divisions of the Japanese army may not be able to defeat the Hainan Army's First Field Army. But if it is caught in a heavy siege by the Japanese army,
If you compete in consumption, you will play into Matsui Iwane's hands.
"How are the training levels of the recruits recruited from Guangdong and Guangxi? Are they capable of combat?" Suddenly, Li Weidong asked.
Shaking his head, Ge Changming next to him interjected: "Not good! The cultural quality of the recruits is too low. The accuracy of the rifle is not bad, but the slightly more difficult weapons need to be taught step by step! The training progress is very slow!"
The Hainan Army has always followed the route of elite soldiers, and its military equipment has even surpassed the current U.S. Army, which has caused an unavoidable trouble. Except for tanks, aircraft and other arms that require soldiers to have a higher level of education, now
The regular troops of the Hainan Army are equipped with some relatively advanced weapons, but learning and using these weapons is a problem.
For example, the most common mortar is equipped to squad-level military units. It seems simple to operate, but in fact, it is impossible to master it without a year or two of practice. Who has ever seen it, just use the weapon?
If it is given to a group of farmers who have just left their jobs, can it form a super combat effectiveness? And then defeat the Japanese soldiers who have been training for several years? That is a situation that can only be seen in novels.
Don't just look at the three main forces of the Hainan Army. When fighting the Japanese army, one can fight two or three. But this actually requires analysis from many aspects. First, the Hainan Army is concentrated in the three main forces of the Hainan Army.
Therefore, the vast majority of genetic soldiers, those genetic soldiers themselves are elite soldiers; secondly, the Hainan Army always uses heavy artillery, tanks, and aircraft in battles. If they cannot do one-on-one with such superior firepower, then they might as well just surrender.
!
Moreover, in the past two years, Li Weidong has devoted most of his energy to the military. Which of the three main forces is not fed by a huge amount of ammunition?
"The First Army and the Second Army have been quite difficult in the past two years. They have to rely on them to fight tough battles!" Li Weidong sighed and said.
Gao Yi glanced at Li Weidong, and then asked seriously: "General! Do you want to mobilize the two North Vietnamese security divisions to go north to join the war?"
The Hainan Army does not have enough troops, so it has to find ways to mobilize them from other places. There is currently no war in North Vietnam, and the French in South Vietnam have not seen any action since Li Weidong beat them hard. Gao Yi felt that the two
It would be a waste to keep the security division in North Vietnam.
The current military and political power of the Republic of North Vietnam is still actually controlled by the Hainan Army. In order to achieve the necessary force deterrence, Li Weidong ordered two security divisions to be stationed in North Vietnam. However, the current President of the Republic of North Vietnam, Nguyen Van, is a member of the Hainan Army.
, he also relied on the support of the Hainan Army to securely sit on the presidential throne. And for this position, he has dealt cruelly to the local forces more than once, so if he wants to avoid being torn apart by those people, he can only obey Li Weidong's orders.
.
"As a result, the situation in North Vietnam will not be stable! The French suffered a big loss in the last NATO war, and they will not let go of this opportunity!" Of course Li Weidong understood what Gao Yi meant, and he didn't do it either.
I thought about mobilizing the two North Vietnamese security divisions to join the war.
But in order to break the situation in North Vietnam that had finally stabilized, Li Weidong was thinking about whether it was worth it or not.
"General! Don't you think this is a very good opportunity? The French government will no longer have time to pay attention to Vietnam!" Suddenly, Ge Changming said with an unclear smile.
Li Weidong glanced at Ge Changming who was smiling and said nothing, and said calmly: "Is the time ripe now? It's hard to control public opinion!"
"Then it depends on how we operate! As long as we are not the first to tear up the treaty, who will continue to pursue it?"
The two continued to play riddles, which made Gao Yi on the side feel confused and confused. He couldn't help but ask: "What operation? Investigate? What should we do?"
Seeing that Gao Yi still didn't know why, Li Weidong and Ge Changming smiled at the same time, only to hear Ge Changming explain: "Well..., the secret must not be leaked! Haha!"

ps: Next comes the war** part! Please look forward to the following: the decisive battle under Nanjing City, the small actions of the French in North Vietnam, and Li Weidong who successfully played the role of the 'man behind the scenes'. Who is everyone in this huge game of chess?
