The Japanese army was not deceived. The reinforcements were drawn from various places because of the violent explosions at Chongming Island Airport and the oil depot. They returned in a row with a complex mood of resentment and fear, and the traps laid by the 24th Army were lost.
Function. From this moment on, the Battle of Shanghai was surprisingly stopped. The troops of both sides looked at each other from afar, confronting day and night, and there was no more battle on the entire front.
During this period, the Japanese army's superior fighter jets flew to the Wusong landing area and between the positions of the two armies, causing a chain explosion of mines. All bombs were immediately stopped and they left one after another.
After analysis by An Yi and his generals, they believed that the dense thunder arrays set up at the front of the northern battlefield and the landing sites had been learned by the Japanese army. The Japanese army, who suffered heavy losses and were unable to fight again, did not dare to go crazy anymore, and the Japanese army's ammunition and drug resources for more than ten days
The consumption is huge, and I am afraid that it is also in urgent replenishment at this moment.
People from all walks of life in Shanghai are as happy and proud as the military and civilians across the country. Large-scale anti-Japanese marches and celebrations are launched almost every day. The large-scale standard images of Jiang Guangding, Cai Tingkai and An Yi are raised high by passionate men and women every day, and they are swaying all the way through the market.
Several anti-Japanese volunteer teams organized by patriotic youth and students, the anti-traitor teams are frequently active, specifically targeting the Japanese and traitors' explosions, assassinations, and arson cases have risen sharply. Gunshots are constantly coming in the concession every day, everyone is in danger, and they are scared.
The concession authorities and diplomatic officials from Europe and the United States frequently protested against Luo Wengan, Huang Yun and Wu Tiecheng, and increased guard forces within the public concession and French concession, and imposed a curfew.
During the several days of the truce, envoys from various countries froze, and politicians from all walks of life made their debut. US Secretary of State Stimson and British Foreign Minister Simon gained tacit understanding for the interests of their respective countries, and immediately called for the convening of a nine-nation convention meeting to stop Japan's barbaric aggression, Britain, the United States and France
The ministers gathered in Shanghai to mediate the truce between China and Japan.
Japan's diplomatic deception methods were extremely skillful. While shouting for a ceasefire and seeking peace, while stepping up its troops in Shanghai. More than 18,000 people from the 11th Division arrived on the battlefield one after another, and then began to prepare for pre-war preparations; on the 13th, the Japanese army was in charge.
The commander of the 9th Division, Kenyoshi Ueda, led his troops to Shanghai and officially took over the newly established commander of the Shanghai Expeditionary Army. The powerful and ambitious Japanese Army defeated the navy, which was constantly damaged by the army for the first time.
Nomura, the commander of the Third Fleet, called it "just a good example", placed the Navy stationed in Shanghai under his jurisdiction.
At this critical moment, Chiang Kai-shek and Wang Jingwei had to run to Xuzhou and hurriedly met Feng Yuxiang, who could not hold back his passion and high-profile anti-Japanese war. After the failure of the Central Plains War the year before last, the Northwest Army collapsed, and Feng Yuxiang led a regiment and the remnants of the Northwest Officer School to live in seclusion in Shanxi.
After farming and studying in the Yudao River in Fenyang, calmly observed the changes in the situation. After the September 18th Incident, Feng Yuxiang took the initiative to leave Shanxi and move south to Mount Tai, and sent a telegram to express his anti-Japanese proposition across the country. He also secretly contacted the old subordinates of the Northwest Army, trying to make a comeback.
Shanghai 1.28 Anti-Japanese War broke out, and Feng Yuxiang was excited about the bravery and tenacity of the 19th Route Army and An Yi's troops, and his activities were more frequent. He also repeatedly called on the whole people to resist the war of resistance, and the central government sent troops to recover the Northeast. It was in this context.
Next, the first gathering of the three giants after the Central Plains War.
The three of them negotiated urgently, but there was no result of their success. Finally, under the attention of the media, Wang Jingwei stood up to speak, saying that the three of them had reached an agreement and advocated resisting while actively negotiating with Japan, but did not
Disclose any substantial plan. Chiang Kai-shek knew exactly what his brother Feng Yuxiang was thinking, and kept the bottom line. He could fight against Japan but did not give a soldier or a share of food and salary. He only allowed Feng Yuxiang as the Minister of the Interior. Feng Yuxiang was very dissatisfied.
Without saying a word, he immediately refused, and then summoned a reporter, threatening to go north to reorganize his old subordinates and prepare to lead the volunteer army to fight against Japan in the Northeast.
When the country was in trouble with internal and external troubles, British and American newspapers revealed the secret agreement signed between the Soviet Union and Japan, which caused the situation in the Northeast to deteriorate sharply. The main interests of European and American countries were in East China and South China. When they saw the Soviet Union and Japan secretly colluded, they were all shocked. After weighing the trade-offs
, and at the same time, they turned all their energy to Shanghai to protect their vested interests and curb the rapid expansion of Japanese forces in East China and southern China. The resistance to Japan's conspiracy to divide the Northeast into the establishment of the puppet Manchukuo Kingdom was greatly reduced, and the process accelerated.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the National Government, which was hitting a wall everywhere, had no choice but to send a third note to the British and American envoys to protest the large number of Japanese troops landing on the concession dock and entering the battlefield.
There was no soldier, no bag, and only Sun Ke and other members of the Central Committee staying in Shanghai were active again, holding press conferences in succession, and announced their anti-Japanese stance with confidence, and telegrammed the central government to quickly formulate national plans and completely resist.
During the violent invasion, no one remembered the 19th Route Army, which was close to him and the two field hospitals behind which were thousands of wounded soldiers to take a look.
At noon on the 14th, Liu Qing, Director of Intelligence, walked through the narrow door of the confidential room and came to An Yi:
"Commander, call from Nanjing, the Fifth Army has officially assigned the Independent Division to its troops, and Commander Hu was promoted to Lieutenant General Deputy Commander and Independent Division Commander. The Military Commission issued a notice with a suggestion, hoping that the Commander would hand over the Front Command to the Second Division to the Second
As the combat headquarters, the commander moved to the 19th Route Army Command and continued to perform the duties of the Chief of Staff of the Former enemy in the Wusong War Zone."
An Yi took the message and quickly signed his name, answered with ease: "Of course, our command center has good conditions in all aspects. Chief Wen Bai is my mentor, and there is no need for the Fifth Army to find another place.
, It was useless to increase manpower and material resources. Before, this command was temporarily set up because of the need to command the divisions of the Northern Line. Now the two divisions of the 24th Army are about to change defenses, so we no longer need here. I went to the 19th Army.
There can also better coordinate the relationship between the two militaries, which is very beneficial for close cooperation and side by side combat."
Ye Cheng has always admired An Yi's generosity and open-mindedness very much. He nodded and suggested: "The 87th Division represented by Wang Jingjiu, the 88th Division of Yu Jishi, and Wang Geng's tax police regiment are all commanders.
Senior brother is in charge, and General Zhang Wenbai is the commander and colleague of the commander. Since the order has been given, can he urge them to enter the battlefield as soon as possible?"
An Yi smiled slightly and waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, they will come. At least Senior Brother Yu's 88th Division will drive at full speed. Just go to a brigade first, and Ji Nan will feel much better... By the way
, How has the injured brother transferred to the hospital in the rear these days been done?"
"Six thousand minor wounded people have been sent to Lao Nanchang Hospital by water in five batches. More than 800 seriously injured brothers boarded the ship and left this morning. The last three batches are probably transported by railways, and there are not enough ships."
Zhang Yang, the head of the headquarters, replied.
An Yi shook his head: "You can't pass through the railway. You must organize a transportation convoy in advance and use the evening time to deliver it to Taicang Wharf, and then directly to Lao Nanchang by water. The transfer of the railway will not be said to be bumpy, but it will take a lot of time to transfer up and down.
, It also delayed the injury. What was most worrying was that the Japanese planes and gunboats that broke through the defense line of our river bank were too dangerous to take the railway. You can call Mr. Zhou Chong'an directly in the name of the chief of staff of the front enemy in the war zone to ask our shipping ship
The team unloaded all the supplies in Jiangyin and rushed to the scene immediately. No one's orders were paid attention to, let alone the troubles of the factory moving west on the list of the central government. The lives of our brothers are more important than anyone else."
"Yes!" Zhang Yang turned around and left.
Zhan Dao smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Commander, General Chen Shaokuan's attitude is a problem! I never thought that this grandson actually claimed to remain neutral and drove all the twenty or so broken warships back to his Fujian lair.
He also ordered the downstream navy to not participate in the war. The more than 30 inland gunboats of the Yangtze River Fleet were all sailing to Jiangyin and the upstream waters, avoiding the war, and not even helping with supplies, let alone expect them to help us transport the wounded and sick.
Is this guy still the commander of our naval forces in the Republic of China?"
"Hao—"
An Yi was so angry that he slapped on the table: "Fuck him, one day I will settle the score with him! I thought he was a good man, but who would have drank it with his gang.
A few days ago, he was like a fool, "Brother, how did I do in the UK?" His heart was higher than the sky, and he was thinner than paper. He disobeyed the central orders again and again, and he resigned from collectively.
Threatening the Central Military Commission, the commissioner and colleagues from various departments of the Military Commission had to agree to his plan to establish four aircraft carrier fleets. If he didn't agree, he would give up the opportunity.
After a rough calculation, it would take two years for the entire country to satisfy him without eating or drinking. This does not count the ship maintenance fees and military expenses of more than 20 million yuan a year later. This dog-good guy doesn't open his eyes and looks at it.
What's the reality? It's so stupid!
This time the war started, I have also asked him to help us stop the five Japanese warships that had no combat power and could only escape east under the attack of our troops, but what did he say when he was away from him?
There is no help, which makes us unable to catch up with the Japanese ships and unable to expand the results. Now, the Japanese warships dare not drive into the waters above Jingjiang to do evil, so they began to jump out to show off their power and intercept this and investigate that in Jiangyin and other waters, except for me, An Yi
He dared not move the ship, and he would not give anyone any face. The two 19th Route Army's material ships forced them to stop them for half a day of inspection. If I hadn't called and scolded me, they would probably not want to let go... This bad debt was
, Sooner or later, I will figure it out with him!”
"Commander please calm down. Just keep it in mind. There will always be a chance. I dare not say anything else. We just need to do a few small moves in the waters above Yichang or even above Hukou, so that he can't afford to take care of it.
.But now we have to unite to the outside world. Internal strife will consume energy. It’s better to concentrate our efforts to face the upcoming war. Without the support of the navy, we have survived it too?" Ye Cheng whispered.
An Yi's anger was slightly reduced: "It's even harder to fight next. There are no planes or warships. Cheng Guang's water police officer was responsible for heavy troop transportation and escort tasks, while practicing how to launch mines and attack Japanese ships in Poyang Lake.
The tactics are hard to count on for a while, alas... Let's go to Hutou's position together to take a look. He has only one brigade's troops left, and I will allocate both regiments directly under him.
Then, I can only build my courage by setting up a suspicion array. I will be fine when the three divisions of the 44th Army of Uncle Luan and one division of Xia Jian arrive tomorrow night."
At 2 p.m., the Japanese positions in Hedong.
A team of generals wearing ordinary army soldiers' uniforms quietly entered the frontier position, set up a telescope, and observed the positions of the 44th Division in Hexi in detail through several observation ports of the fortifications. One of the oldest and extraordinary demeanor was the new Shanghai dispatch.
Commander-in-chief of the Army and Lieutenant General of the Ninth Division, Kenyoshi Ueda.
After Ueda arrived, he did not have any false aura and immediately set up a headquarters to clean up the original redundant personnel. In just half a day, he formed an efficient command system composed of most army generals. Almost all the former headquarters members were swept out by him.
Only the deputy chief of the combat class, Hiroichi Ishikawa, who was left behind, who was repeatedly proposing but was depressed.
When Ueda checked the summary of each battle, he was surprised to find that Ishikawa was the first to formulate a battle plan to abandon Wusong, concentrate troops to break through the Jiangwan Liuxing line on the middle road, and instead attack Wusong, who lost his retreat, and then occupy Baoshan. He was actually with Ueda himself.
In Tokyo, it coincided with the plan drawn by the generals of the Army. It was Ishikawa who saw through the enemy's trap and repeatedly advised Lieutenant General Nomura, the commander in Shanghai, to give up the rescue and promptly prevent the follow-up troops from rushing to the battlefield.
, reduces losses.
Ueda therefore attaches great importance to this rare talent. It is even more amazing to inquire about it. Ishikawa is the nephew of the current chief of staff, Prince Zai Ren, and has the Kwantung Army, the division of the North Korean Army, the Imperial Army University, and the foreign instructor of the Central Military Academy in China.
Rich resume.
Ueda, who had increased his interest, quickly met Ishikawa. After the conversation, he was very satisfied and promoted Ishikawa to his combat division chief on the spot. Last night, after the social event and meeting, Ueda immediately held a pre-war meeting. According to Ishikawa's suggestion, he quickly reported the plan outline and hurriedly used it.
After lunch, immediately arrive at the front line and conduct on-site observations to correct and enrich combat plans.
Half an hour later, Ueda and his party returned to the front line command post three kilometers behind the position. Ueda did not enter the room, but asked his subordinates to bring a few benches and sit in the warm sunshine to ask what they had gained from his subordinates.
The generals said in turn and shared their opinions. After listening, Ueda did not immediately express his opinion, but signaled Ishikawa, who was standing behind him to sit on a low stool diagonally opposite him, and asked kindly: "Ishikawa Nakasa, you
Can you tell us the specific situation of the 44th Division of the Chinese army at present?"
Ishikawa responded respectfully and then briefly introduced the 44th Division from the commander Gu Changfeng to the main generals below, telling the historical evolution. Finally, the generals and Zuo nodded frequently, very regretfully
He said: "According to the latest announcement from the intelligence department, the Fifth Army led by Zhang Zhizhong, the former Director of Education of the Central Army School, has been officially formed and will guard against the Chinese army that has fought against each other for 18 days within two days.
Although the 44th Division on the opposite side and the 16th Division on the front line of Wusong Baoshan also suffered heavy losses and could not bear to fight again, they defeated all the troops we participated in the war in the early stage, including the Kurumi Brigade of our army, and our army was only on the ground with them.
During the battle, more than 12,000 people were lost, twenty-seven assistant officers and two hundred and sixty-three lieutenants, not including more than 6,000 marine soldiers and auxiliary troops who were recovering from injuries. Now they are now
I am really unwilling to leave the battlefield and leave calmly with pride and superiority!
These two divisions are the only two main divisions in An Yi's hands, and the other is a trump card established by An Yi and is well-known throughout China. Because of its outstanding reputation, it gradually departs from An Yi and becomes one of its own. Therefore,
If these two teachers were allowed to retreat calmly, they would soon restore their establishment, which is likely to become a huge security risk for our great Japanese empire."
"Yeah! It makes sense."
Ueda nodded thoughtfully and asked: "Did the ace division you mentioned sneak attack on my Chongming Island Airport and the Central Army Independent Division in the oil depot?"
Ishikawa focused on it: "Yes, it's this army! The commander of the division is Hu Jialin, from Cangzhou, Zhili. I met him when he was studying in the General Class of the Central Military Academy in Nanjing. This person was an equestrian instructor at the Whampoa Military Academy in Guangzhou.
When An Yi formed the engineering company in the early stages of the Northern Expedition, he was willing to give up his self-esteem and served as the deputy of the lieutenant company of the engineering company. He has followed An Yi in the south and north for several years and has been promoted step by step. He has been invincible in China's civil war for several years and has defeated all the way.
, well-known throughout the army, was promoted to the rank of lieutenant general by the commander-in-chief of the army, Chiang Kai-shek, and was an excellent general in the Chinese central military system. This person does not speak much, usually has a serious expression, is good at acting vigorously and vigorously, has no political stance, but is obedient
Very strong and very warlike.
Based on the latest information we obtained from the senior executives of Nanjing, this person will be appointed as the deputy commander of the Fifth Army. From this, it can be inferred that he and his independent division will leave An Yi's control from then on, and will most likely be from the future.
Into a line.”
Ueda nodded cautiously: "I believe your judgment. Over the past few days, the troops that successfully attacked the airport not only did not escape Chongming Island, but also attacked my outposts along the river one after another, killing more than 70 officers and soldiers, and injuring them with mortars.
Two of our warships are currently dealing with a search brigade of the 11th Division, which makes our warships, oil tankers and transport ships extremely nervous when they pass through that section of water and enter the Huangpu River.
Judging from the huge destructive power of this small group of troops, what you are talking about Hu Jialin is indeed not simple. The independent division under his command, hiding on the north bank of the Yangtze River, is not simple. Even though the other two divisions suffered heavy losses, they still did not enter the battlefield.
There must be some big conspiracy. I believe that they will soon become our strong enemy and must be taken seriously.
Also, Ishikawa's advice is very good. We must not let the remnants of the 44th Division and the 16th Division who defeated our army leave with the pride of victory. We must teach them a lesson! Strike them psychologically
! Let them and all Chinese troops know that no army can compete with my brave Imperial Japanese Army, and we must not!"
"Hiyi—"
All the generals stood up and shouted in unison, each eager to try, showing a strong desire to revenge.
Ishikawa took a step forward and bowed deeply: "Thank you, General! Ishikawa... Ishikawa can only live up to the general's guidance if he does his best!"
"Well! Ishikawa-kun, your performance is satisfactory. As an imperial soldier, you must have the spirit of moving forward, the indomitable fighting spirit, and the outstanding wisdom and actions. We must not only defeat all our opponents on the battlefield,
You must also do your best to attack your opponent psychologically and in all aspects. This is the duty of an imperial soldier!" Ueda Yu taught Ishikawa earnestly.
Ishikawa quickly bowed his head and greeted: "Hi! Report to the general, we are doing it. The intelligence department stationed in Shanghai has launched a heart-breaking action against the enemy general An Yi. As long as you grasp its weaknesses, let this insidious and cunning young man bring us great trouble.
If the general suffers a major psychological blow, he will be in chaos and have no intention of fighting, thereby eliminating this powerful enemy!"
"Oh? What's the plan for Ishikawa?"
Ueda stood up and asked with great interest. Seeing Ishikawa scan the left and right, hesitated, he immediately raised his hand and waved everyone back, walked to Ishikawa in two steps and listened carefully.
Ishikawa reported in a low voice: "Col. Takayoshi Tanaka, the head of the intelligence department in Shanghai, planned for several days and decided to send an operation team to secretly kidnap An Yi's sister Gong Qian, forcing An Yi to lose his mind due to anger, and then find ways to assassinate An Yi.
An Yi is an orphan. Before joining the army, he received meticulous care from Gong Qian, who worked in the Party Department of the Guangzhou Government at that time. The two have had close relationships for several years and are as close as a mother.
All signs show that An Yi is a person who values feelings very much, and Gong Qian's position in his mind is almost full of the three roles of sister, mother and lover, which are extremely important to An Yi. As long as he can successfully kidnap Gong Qian,
Other problems can be solved easily.
General, in Peking in 28th, the North China Intelligence Class was strongly anti-Japanese and had an important influence among the young Chinese and military, so he decisively carried out the assassination of An Yi. However, due to the luck issue, An Yi escaped by chance.
Now it seems that the intelligence department in North China is very visionary, but unfortunately it failed! If An Yi had been successfully killed at that time, maybe we would not have encountered so many difficulties today.
My subordinates once coached at Nanjing Military Academy with An Yi. They have a deep understanding of his abilities and military talents. They are ashamed of being no match for this young general who is a genius. They also know that this person's existence will give me greatness.
The Japanese Empire brought great hidden dangers, so when Tanaka Jun solicited opinions, his subordinates could only put aside the shame of a soldier, put forward their own opinions with the humiliation of a samurai, help Tanaka Jun enrich his plans, and then advise Tanaka Jun.
I contacted Miss Fangzi, who is closely related to the upper class in Nanjing. The plan was formulated yesterday and will be implemented today."
Ueda did not immediately express his opinion. He looked up at the sky for a while before sighing: "I can understand Ishikawa's mood, but we have no choice in many cases. For the benefit of the country and for the survival of the Yamato nation, some things are there
Even if we defiled the noble honor of the warrior, we had to do it..."
