"As for the Japanese army, the 13th Division, the 16th Division and the 103rd Division, four divisions of the Korean puppet army and two brigades of the Peace Army are attacking our Second Army from the direction of Huangshan, Xiaoshan and Hangzhou Bay at the same time.
The offensive was launched from the forward position. In the direction of Hangzhou Bay, the 103rd Division was assisted by the combined fleet, and the offensive was particularly fierce..." In the No. 3 conference room of the Guangzhou Xuebing Army Headquarters, Li Tieshu held a baton in his hand and was using a piece of paper on the conference table.
The huge sand table pointed at the country: "According to reliable information, Nishio Juzo's headquarters is moving eastward along the Yangtze River. After analysis, we concluded that its final attack target should be Fox Shisan's Santai guerrilla base——"
After the Xuebing Army captured southern Zhejiang, the Northward Guerrilla Column under the Second Guerrilla Army quickly penetrated into the Yangtze River Delta area. After disrupting the deployment of the Japanese troops in the area, it established contact with Fox Shisan's Santai guerrilla column. Feihu
Because it received a steady stream of material support from the rear of the Xuebing Army, Thirteen was able to rapidly expand the Santai Guerrilla Column. By the end of last year, although the department still presented itself as the Santai Guerrilla Column to the outside world, in fact its control area had
It has developed from the Santai area to Yangzhou, Zhenjiang, Changzhou and Baojin. Its total military strength has exceeded 40,000, and it has the ability to fight a regional battle.
"If you include the headquarters of Nishio Juzo, the total strength of the Japanese army will be around 300,000, with 200,000 regular troops and 90,000 land troops... We have reason to believe that the Japanese army is bound to win this offensive.
"
"The little devil finally realized the importance of southern Zhejiang," Tie Linfei interjected.
With Southern Zhejiang, the Xuebing Army can further attack Hangzhou and Shanghai on land. And because of the excellent navigation performance of the white-finned dolphin and Chinese sturgeon, the empty fortress can even dock at many military ports, shipyards, arsenals, steel mills, and even in the eastern part of its homeland.
The ships at the military port were all within the strike radius of the Gakuin Air Force. It is no wonder that after the air attacks on Sasebo and Nagasaki military ports, the Japanese army launched air strikes and large-scale offensives in a hurry.
Li Tieshu continued: "The commander-in-chief's instruction is that southern Zhejiang must not be lost. In addition, he believes that after nearly half a year of recuperating, our army has the ability to launch a new major counterattack. The opinion of the commander-in-chief is
, defend in the direction of Hangzhou Bay and Xiaoshan, and launch a fierce counterattack in the direction of Huangshan. In addition, launch a counterattack in the direction of Yingtan and Ganzhou at the same time, and feint in the direction of Ganzhou. In the direction of Yingtan, the area south of the Yangtze River must be captured, and it is best to capture Nanchang... Mr. Ji,
Do you have anything to add?"
Ji Xing shook his head and said, "We'd better listen to what Mr. Jiang and Mr. Ye mean."
In the headquarters of the Third Taiwanese Army in Fuzhou, Jiang Guangnai and his generals were listening attentively. At this time, he lowered his voice and leaned in front of the microphone and said: "Old Ye, let me talk first?"
In Xiaoshan, at the frontline headquarters of the Third Army of Southern Zhejiang, Ye Zhao hurried to the microphone and said, "Please speak."
"As for the arrangements of the headquarters, I have only one question. Should Pengze County be attacked? If Pengze is attacked, should Madang be captured?"
Li Tieshu and Ji Xing looked at each other, and the former said firmly: "Of course we must capture Madang. If we don't capture Madang, the Japanese army may use this as a breakthrough point to counterattack the south bank at any time. By then, we will have to pay a greater price to hold it.
.Moreover, this is not conducive to our next actions."
"When the Commander-in-Chief went north, Madang was famous for being easy to defend and difficult to attack. After that war, the Japanese army increased their investment in Madang. Now Madang can be described as a hedgehog covered with thorns. I'm afraid it won't
Good to fight!"
Li Tieshu smiled slightly: "Mr. Jiang, you are a senior, so don't give riddles to our juniors. If you have any requests, just ask."
Over there, Jiang Guangnai, Shen Guanghan, Liu Yuqing, Rao Guoguang and others looked at each other and smiled. Then, shouldering the expectations of others and still being shameless, Jiang Guangnai coughed lightly and said: "I heard that the improved model developed by Xuebing Research and Development Institute
The fire-breathing tank has been put into production, hehe, I don’t have a big appetite, just give me a regiment!”
Before Li Tieshu responded, Ye Zhao spoke first: "Vice President Li, how many tanks of this type have been produced?"
The existing chariot chassis of the Xuebing Army are all based on the Lin-type 39 chassis system of Jiguang III. For example, the "Cloud Type 1941" Spitfire is affectionately called the "Fire-breathing Turtle" by the research and development students.
Apart from using the same chassis system as its predecessors, the tanks are completely different in other aspects. They are almost two varieties.
Military production has always been under the control of Ji Xing. When Li Tieshu came over, he took the microphone and said: "Counting this month's production, there should be about fifty vehicles."
When Ye Zhao heard this, he immediately became anxious and yelled on the phone: "Mr. Jiang, I'm not refuting your reputation. There are only fifty cars in total. You can't just take them all. In this way, we will suffer a bit. You can take thirty cars."
Give us the rest!”
Jiang Guangnai refused and shouted in a deep voice: "Xiaoye, we want fire-breathing tanks to attack Madang. Why do you want fire-breathing tanks?"
"Defend! If we use Spitfire tanks to blockade the Qiantang River and use them to counter seize the beach, we can save a lot of troops. Only in this way can we launch a fierce counterattack in the direction of Huangshan. Mr. Jiang, how big is the Ma Dang? Thirty new Spitfire tanks
The tank plus the previous one will definitely be enough!"
"Then you give me the new ones, and I'll give you the old ones, and exchange forty-eight for twenty. How about that?"
Ye Zhao answered simply: "No!"
Compared with the old fire-breathing tanks, the new model's strike range has reached about 280 meters, and its mobility and armor have also been enhanced. For this strike distance alone, one new model is worth three old ones.
If Ye Zhao agrees to change, it will be unless he gets kicked in the head by a donkey.
The two army commanders started arguing on the phone. The single hero from Haikou couldn't stand listening anymore and blurted out: "You two, how about you listen to me?"
"Commander Shan?" "Xiao Dan?"
"I don't want a single tank, so who will replace the defense with us?"
Jiang Guangnai and Ye Zhaodeng stopped talking. They suddenly remembered that because the Fourth Army had not fought for a long time, the single hero had written many times, asking each army to change defenses regularly. They and others were arguing over a few tanks here.
If they are making a fuss, will the big bosses in Guangzhou be dissatisfied and then really agree to their requests? For soldiers, fighting is the most important thing. The two men and their subordinates looked at each other and immediately
Wisely chose silence.
After a brief silence, Ji Xing spoke. He first reassured Xiong Qionghai that there would be a battle sooner or later, and then said: "According to the commander-in-chief's instructions, defending southern Zhejiang is the first goal. Only on this basis will we consider
Others. Lao Ye, the headquarters will not interfere with how you arrange your troops. We will try our best to help you if we can. However, you must ensure the safety of the Xiaohuang defense line. The allocation of fire-breathing tanks is
According to your suggestion, thirty to twenty - do you have any other questions?"
