In Jinling, in the command center of the National Operations Department, a high-level combat meeting is taking place. The person who is speaking is the deputy chief of staff, General Bai. Everyone looks very serious.
"Everyone, this time the wolf is not coming, but the wolf is really coming!
Reliable information has just been received. General Matsui Iwane, commander of the Shencheng Expeditionary Force, led by more than 50,000 troops from the 3rd Division and the 11th Division, is about to land in Shencheng under the escort of multiple aircraft carriers. They did not choose Jiang, whom we were worried about before. In the direction of Wanhuishan Pier, we chose the northern line from Zhanghuabang to Liuhekou;
According to the landing point chosen by the Japanese, it can be inferred that the enemy's strategic intention is to land from the northern line, then go west and south via Luodian, and take the back route of our Shencheng defenders! "
After Admiral Bai finished speaking, he used his baton to draw a large arc on the northern line through Zhanghuabang, Shizilin, Yuepu and the important town of Luodian, from west to south. If the enemy's intention is achieved, the enemy will have completed the concentration. The encirclement of the Ninth Army in the Hongkou area had disastrous consequences.
Since the focus of the first phase of the campaign was in the Hongkou area, the defense line on the northern front was very weak and there were almost no main troops. The reason why the Japanese chose to land on the northern front was to catch the Chinese army by surprise.
After listening to Admiral Bai's war report, everyone was in an uproar. Everyone was whispering to each other. The command room was as chaotic as a vegetable market for a while;
Bezoar was furious and snorted loudly, scaring everyone into silence. The command room instantly became quiet, and you could hear a needle drop!
"Niang Xipi, what's the chaos! The Japanese are still at sea. Look at you all, you've already messed up. Aren't there only 50,000 Japanese?
The soldiers will stop you, and the water will flood you!
If the Japanese want to land, we will mobilize the 15th Army, which is about to arrive at the Songhu battlefield, to counter-landing, block the gap, wait for an opportunity to counterattack, and drive the Japanese into the sea;
Now there are only one or two thousand Japs left in the Hongkou area, and my Ninth Group in the Hongkou area has tens of thousands, resulting in a huge waste of troops. In order to buy time for the Fifteenth Army, we can order the Ninth Army The main forces, the 36th Division and the 88th Division, will go north today to reinforce the Shizilin and Yuepu lines to resist the Japanese attack.
The 18th Army of the 15th Group can set off first to seize the strategic point of Luodian, block the landing Japanese troops on the northern line, and wait until the main forces of the 74th Army and the First Army arrive to encircle the landing enemies together.
In addition, all air force fighters are mobilized to the northern landing points to bomb enemy landing ships and troops...
The Military Commission must come up with a battle plan as soon as possible and fight this battle with all its strength! "
Wei Zuo decided on the second phase of the battle strategy in just three or five sentences, and others could just follow the orders. Of course, this battle plan naturally came not from his hand, but from his mouth.
Hongkou, Independence Battalion Station
After playing soy sauce for several days in a row, Luo Ying and his independent battalion finally received a new combat mission. This combat mission gave him some surprises, because another time and space were completely different. At another time, he received an order to go north to intercept Only the 36th Division was landed by the enemy, while the 88th and 87th Divisions were restrained by the enemy's Marine Special Marine Command and could not get away at all.
At this time and space, the enemy Marine Corps Command, an important stronghold, was captured by the 88th Division. Although the Huishan Wharf stronghold still contained many of the main Chinese troops, the pressure was correspondingly reduced, so an additional 88th Division was drawn out, which made The 88th Division, which was supposed to fight in the battle order of the Central Route Army, may be temporarily included in the order of the North Route Army because of its march north. The flesh-and-blood grindstone of Luodian may also be used by the 88th Division;
This was a life-threatening job, and Luo Ying felt a chill on his neck just thinking about it. He even had a premonition that he and the Independent Battalion might not be able to get around the flesh-and-blood millstone of Luodian.
Of course, it was not his turn to be picky about the war, and the same was true for the independent battalion. As the battalion commander, his top priority was to convey combat missions to the entire battalion and mobilize before the war.
"Brothers, you probably got hit by our bullshit. After receiving the order from the top, the whole battalion quickly assembled and prepared to head north! The scope of knowing the secret is limited to officers above the company commander for the time being. Please keep it confidential. We will arrive in full force in an hour. Gather at the place designated by the division headquarters and disperse."
Everyone looked at each other, they were really going north. Although the battalion commander's words were not clear, they all guessed the specific tasks after going north. They did not expect that just like the progress of their war game, the Japanese really chose to land on the northern front first. What awaits them will be the most brutal anti-landing operation, the Japanese's extremely terrifying naval gun coverage and aerial bombardment. It will take a battalion only a few minutes for them to carry it. Thinking of this, each of them has a shadow in their hearts and looks confused. became extremely severe;
They were not afraid of death, but they were afraid that it would be too painful. When they thought of fighting the Japanese in an unobstructed position with naval guns and aerial bombardments, everyone already regarded themselves as dead people in their hearts.
At dawn on the 23rd, on the northern line, on the Zhanghuabang River, a huge fleet was slowly approaching, stretching to the sea and the sky. The terrifying strength of a world-class industrial power was evident. In terms of industrial production and mobilization power, , China and Foot Pot Chicken are not at the same level of strength at all.
In the direction of the sea, the sky has just turned white. In the direction of the rising sun, a large group of small black dots are flying densely, covering up the red sun that has just emerged from the sea level...
A shrill air defense siren sounded, and the anti-landing war began.
