"Choo Choo Choo……"
The expressions of Brigadier Gao and Chief of Staff Xu, who were tallying the results of the war in the Japs headquarters, changed. They had been bombed a lot and knew when they heard it was the sound of large-caliber naval guns breaking through the air. The Japs were going to die together!
The two people who figured this out immediately ran away, the sound of cannons rumbling, and for a while, the former Japanese Marine Corps headquarters fortress group suffered a devastating blow from the Japanese naval guns;
If it weren't for the mediocre hit rate of naval guns and this round of suicide bombardment by the Japanese, Brigadier Gao and the 264th Brigade might have been wiped out.
After the Japanese bombardment was launched, the 264th Brigade quickly withdrew from the Japanese headquarters. Even so, it still paid a heavy price, with hundreds of casualties. Almost all the fortifications of the Marine Corps Command were destroyed. The built turtle shells were not spared, and those they could not get were smashed.
Of course, this was just an angry expression of anger by the Japanese, and it could not change the fate of their most important stronghold in Shanghai being destroyed;
At the same time, the main force of the 262nd Brigade entered Hongjiang Road at dawn and swept away all surrounding strongholds. This left the Japanese in the government-controlled area with only Shewei Jiangwan Road connecting the Japanese Concession.
Even the Japanese Concession can be taken by taking advantage of the opportunity. After all, the two sides have already started a full-scale war and are at odds with each other. Unfortunately, the government does not think so;
There are a lot of strange things happening on the Songhu battlefield. It's not that the soldiers can't fight, but the root cause lies at the top.
Big bosses gathered in the command center of the National Operations Department. A 500-man combat operation actually attracted the attention of so many big bosses;
If Luo Ying knew, he would definitely feel proud. Just mention any person here, he is a man of great influence in China at the moment, and China will tremble when he stomps his feet.
They came to the conference room early to await the results of the raid, and some even stayed up late.
There is also a problem of the national government's face. 30,000 direct line elites attacked the position defended by thousands of Japanese navy Red Deer. They have not captured it for several days and suffered heavy casualties. The national government cannot be proud of it.
Someone's walking feet seemed to be equipped with a pair of springs. He seemed to be in a good mood and had obviously received the battle report. Don't question the efficiency of Master Sun Yuanliang in reporting victory reports at any time. He could go straight to heaven!
"Everyone, everyone is here, I want to announce a good news, a great victory!
Early yesterday morning, 500 warriors from the 88th Division Commando attacked the Japanese stronghold on Hongjiang Road overnight. With the support of our powerful artillery, they tore open the Japanese defense line in one fell swoop;
All units of the 88th Division took the opportunity to launch a fierce attack. The 264th Brigade, with the cooperation of the commandos, captured the Marine Corps stronghold in one fell swoop. The 262nd Brigade swept all strongholds except Jiangwan Road. The Iron Fist plan formulated by Dode's consultant achieved a comprehensive victory. , wiped out thousands of enemies, and achieved a great victory in Shencheng that shocked Yu Nei! "
There was thunderous applause in the war room, and everyone was happy and proud.
"The 88th Division fought well this time. Yuanliang is indeed our hero from Huangpu. With one division, he annihilated thousands of enemies and captured the most difficult enemy, the Marine Corps Command, to win the first stage of the strategy." Completion lays the foundation and takes the greatest credit;
Awarded the Medal of Blue Sky and White Sun and promoted to Commander of the 72nd Army!
Commando captain Luo Ying led 500 warriors to tear through the Japanese defense line, and was the first to rush into the enemy headquarters. He killed the enemy chief Ogawauchi Major General No. 7, which greatly boosted the morale of the national army. For his second merit, he was promoted to Army Major and Battalion Commander, and was awarded the third class. Baoding Medal.
The commander of the 264th Brigade, Gao Zijin, risked his own life and led a brigade to defeat the enemy's heavily defended Marine Corps Headquarters. He was truly a role model for our Huangpu soldiers. He was awarded the Second Class Medal of Baoding, and was awarded to all his troops;
Brigade 262…”
Everyone showed envious expressions. These big guys were jealous of this great reward, and they also wrote down the name of a small major;
With the rank of Army Major, he was awarded the third-class Medal of the Cauldron, which is the only one in the entire Kuomintang Army. You must know that the third-class Medal of the Cauldron is the highest rank that can be awarded to school-level officers.
With a top-level reward, the future is limitless. You must know that someone with a rank like a major is not even eligible for a reward, even the Military Commission. This boy has a bright future.
The reward before the meeting is just an appetizer, and the next strategy that needs to be discussed later is the top priority;
Logically speaking, strategic matters have been determined before. Unless there are major emergencies, try not to change them. This is a taboo for military strategists.
The enemy's Marine Corps stronghold, which is the most difficult to attack, has been captured. According to the plan, we should pursue the victory and concentrate our forces to quickly capture the last enemy stronghold on Jiangwan Road;
Then troops were sent to take back the concession and deal with the remaining 2,000 Japanese Marines and thousands of armed expatriates entrenched in the concession, completely solving the worries of the two-front war.
Not to mention the senior officials of the government, even ordinary generals understand this truth, but when it comes to him, something goes wrong...
"Everyone, the consuls general of John Bull and Gallic Chicken have come to the government and hope that our government troops will not bring the war to the concession. They are worried that it will cause catastrophic consequences. What do you think?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Zhuge stood up and said:
"The two sides have already started a war, so what else is there to do with the concession?
Naturally, we will pursue the victory and take back the foot basin chicken concession in one fell swoop, completely solving the worries of fighting on two fronts!
If the Jiangwan Road stronghold is not taken back and the concession is not taken back, and the Japanese still have troops in Shencheng, then it will be meaningless to capture the enemy Marine Corps headquarters, and all previous attacks will be abandoned.
These ghost guys are obviously trying to deviate. My suggestion is to ignore them. Politically, let the Ministry of Foreign Affairs argue with them. Militaryly, immediately order the Ninth Army to use the power of Mount Tai to take back the concession in one fell swoop and drive out all the ghosts in Shencheng. Going into the sea will create a fait accompli. What can these ghosts do to me? "
Xiao Zhuge's speech received a positive response from most people, and some even called for all the Japanese and foreigners in the concession to be wiped out. There was already a war, so there was nothing left to say.
It was obvious that Xiao Zhuge's suggestion was not to his liking, and he glanced at Chen Cixiu a few times, intentionally or unintentionally. This person was his confidant and deeply loved him.
Chen Cixiu could only stand up and say:
"Brother Jiansheng, what you said is wrong. I have a different opinion!"
