Severe cases require strong medication.
Fang Ren used the most direct way to provoke Ruan Zhaochang, directly talking about the 69th Army losing the battle in one day. I believe that any man with backbone would not be able to help but get angry.
But in the face of Fang Ren's truth, can Ruan Zhaochang refute it? He couldn't, because this was an ironclad fact. The Thirty-sixth Division fought in Songhu for two months and did not lose any positions. On the contrary, the Sixty-ninth Army lost the strategic location of Dachang as soon as it entered the battlefield. .
Ruan Zhaochang was born in Lao Beiyang. Although he once held an important position in Beiyang when he was young - Chief of Staff of the Border Guard Army, that was the Beiyang era, and now is the era of Lao Chiang Kai-shek. No matter how you say it, he has never been A direct descendant of Huangpu.
Ruan Zhaochang has always been very clear about the identity of the 69th Army: This is a miscellaneous army among the Central Army!
The outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, and then serving as the commander of an army to command the battle was undoubtedly an opportunity for Ruan Zhaochang, an old Beiyang man. If he did not want to sit on the bench, he had to do something and achieve results, but the Japanese army just entered the battlefield. The Sixty-ninth Army gave them a show of strength. They lost a large field in one day, which was undoubtedly a huge blow.
All in all, Ruan Zhaochang is very interested in taking back the big field. Whether it is for his own future or the reputation of the faction he came from in Old Beiyang, it must be fought.
"Sir Ruan, thank you for your trust in our Thirty-sixth Division!" Fang Ren stood at attention and saluted.
Ruan Zhaochang's face was as dark as water, and he said seriously: "It can't be said that we trust your Thirty-sixth Division. We are Chinese soldiers first. However, this big battle is not so easy to win, and you also know the combat effectiveness of the Japanese army. , I wonder what your army plans to do? What role does our 69th Army need to play in it? "
Ruan Zhaochang is not that kind of impulsive person. He was able to go from being a Beiyang general to being the commander of the National Revolutionary Army. He still has some special skills. After all, if he was not an old fox, he might not be alive today.
If the Japanese army wants to fight, the key is to see how they fight. The Japanese's combat effectiveness cannot be surpassed. They are first-class and powerful. What's more, they are on defense now? But we can't end up making wedding clothes for the friendly forces until the end.
"Sir Ruan, you don't have to worry about this. The Japs have been fighting with us for more than two months. We naturally know how good their combat effectiveness is. We can't let the brothers of the 69th Army risk their lives in vain." Fang Ren was full of confidence. road.
"Okay, as long as you say this, let's get to the point. How do we, the 69th Army, fight?" Ruan Zhaochang's eyes were fixed on Fang Ren. As long as the latter showed any abnormality, he would treat Fang Ren. Pull them out and shoot them - during the war, besides aircraft and artillery, what was even more terrifying were spies!
After hearing Ruan Zhaochang's instructions, Fang Ren walked openly to the military map, picked up a pencil under the dim oil lamp, and pointed at Dachang, Xiaoji, and Suzhou River.
Fang Ren rested his left hand on the table and pointed at these three points with the front edge of his right hand: "Sir, look, this is Dachang. There is an inconspicuous small place three kilometers southwest of Dachang. This place is called Xiaoji." , two kilometers south of Xiaoji is the Suzhou River, and the position of our 36th Division is on the south bank of the Suzhou River. The Suzhou River is neither big nor small. If the Japanese army wants to capture the south bank of the Suzhou River, At this time, troops will definitely be sent to the north bank of the Suzhou River. Then the north bank of the Suzhou River, Xiaoji, and Dachang will be connected in a straight line, and it will be a prominent straight line!"
Halfway through, Fang Ren paused, looked at Ruan Zhaochang's face, and found that there was nothing abnormal about the latter's face before continuing: "According to the overall situation, the Japanese army invaded from the Baoshan and Luodian areas in the north, and from the south The strategic target of the landing in the Hangzhou Bay and Jiangwan area is undoubtedly the entire main force of our army in the Songhu area. The Japanese army we are facing is undoubtedly the sharp knife part of the southward vise. If we want to continue to break through the Suzhou River and continue to advance, Then Dachang and the north bank of the Suzhou River will be the top priority. The Japanese 13th Division has fought with our army many times since it landed to participate in the war. The casualties should not be small. Therefore, we judge that there should be only one regiment on Dachang. There will be at least one brigade stationed on the north bank of the Suzhou River."
"Then according to your statement, the Japanese army has accumulated so many troops here that there may not be more than one brigade. How can you be sure that you can eat them?" In today's battle, while losing the battle field, you also discovered the gap between yourself and the Japanese army. .
"Sir Ruan, don't worry. The reason why the Japanese army is so unstoppable is not only that their equipment is better than ours, but more importantly, they have the support of joint artillery fire from the three armed forces of sea, land and air. But now it is night, and their advantage of joint artillery support from sea, land and air is... can be reduced to the lowest! As long as our Thirty-sixth Division can gain the upper hand on the battlefield on the north bank of the Suzhou River, the enemy in the big field will inevitably be dispatched, and there should be no shortage of troops. Perhaps we will suffer a loss by placing the battlefield in a big field, but in It's not always possible to fight an ambush in the wild." Fang Ren snorted.
Ruan Zhaochang pondered for a while, and then said fiercely: "Yes, I don't fucking believe it. They are all born and raised by parents. I don't believe these little devils are still so crazy without planes and cannons?"
"Yes, that's right. Without the support of aircraft and artillery, and this time at night, the combat effectiveness of the little Japanese is just that." Fang Ren rarely played a trick. The Japanese army's marksmanship and bayonet skills were also quite powerful.
"Well... this is also the time when the gap between us and the Japanese army is the smallest. Do you want us to fight in small groups and then lead out the Japanese army in the big field?" Ruan Zhaochang looked at Fang Ren.
"No, that would put too much pressure on you." Fang Ren paused, "Your army only needs to set up an ambush position in the northeast of Dachang. In short, Dachang is for you, while Xiaoji and the north bank of the Suzhou River are The Japanese army will be left to us. I believe you also know how to fight next, Commander Ruan, right?"
Ruan Zhaochang thought for a while and said: "Okay, no problem. We can take back the field, and you can also defend the Suzhou River. It's good for everyone, okay."
A "negotiation" cooperation was completed, but no one knew that when Fang Ren walked out of the 69th Army headquarters, his back was already soaked with cold sweat. He came to the 69th Army in the name of Commander Song of the 36th Division. If the deception of the army is exposed, or Zhang Tianhai's operation fails, they and Hu Jiaji and his gang will all go to a military court!
"Zhang Yulin, I hope you won't let us all get shot." Fang Ren murmured softly.

PS: Well, I updated again. I didn't expect that either.
