The soldiers of the Japanese Marine Corps are known to be stronger than the army, but they have been defeated repeatedly.Xia Yuan goes into battle in person, will his luck be better than that of the marines?In the battle of Songhu, the powerful "two divisions and one corps" belonged to the elite of the Central Army, but they were assigned to the command of the 19th Route Army as the local army. What's the mystery? In Xia Yuan's eyes, Wusong Fortress seemed to be completely worthless, but in fact, the Marine Corps had already suffered here. The Sasebo Special Marines landed a day early.After they landed, they remembered that the Kurume brigade was coming soon, so they planned to open a wider road for the latter—it wasn’t that the two sides became close all of a sudden, but it was purely a matter of face, and they wanted to prove that they could enjoy themselves in Shanghai. .

They also occupied Zhang Huabang for a time, but after the occupation, their vanity swelled, and they were ready to take Wu Song down. Now guarding Wusong is Weng Zhaoyuan, a brave general of the 19th Route Army, and his 156th Brigade. The old man used to be guarding Zhabei. Since the deputy division commander Tan Qixiu took over as the commander of the fortress, he was ordered to bring troops to Wusong and Baoshan. When the Sasebo Marines learned that their opponent was Weng Zhaoyuan, who became famous in the first battle in Zhabei, they naturally did not dare to underestimate them. Shoot first to scare them.

The marines concentrated 40 artillery pieces and bombarded the defenders' positions with a "bang bang bang bang". This trick is called the killing power stick. After the shelling, thick smoke billowed ahead, providing excellent cover for the attack.But in this way, they still feel unreliable. What about tanks?Come on, we'll follow you. The Marine Corps has a total of 3,000 people, and 2,000 of them were dispatched to follow the tanks and advance step by step. The formation is so grand, how many defenders do you think there are at the forefront? There is only one company in total (Zhao Jinsheng Company).

Although it was only one company, it was the company brought out by Weng Zhaoyuan, and it was very fierce. Of course, no matter how fierce it is, it's not made of Transformers, it's all made of flesh and blood.After an hour of hard fighting, Zhao Jinsheng had more than half of his company casualties and had to move back. It stands to reason that the Marine Corps is outnumbered and outnumbered. Although the victory is unarmed, it can also accept it as soon as it is good.Unexpectedly, this group of guys probably hadn't won much before, and they wanted to "expand their victories" and chased after them.

The company commander Zhao Jinsheng was on fire as he ran. Give you three points of color, you have to put your nose on your face, and you are going to open a dyeing room, right? Don't withdraw, go back! Zhao Jinsheng selected a few people from the remaining 40 people and came back to face the Japanese army. Go hard? Not so stupid. Relying on their familiarity with the terrain, they circled around and turned to the side of the marines. When he got there, without saying a word, Zhao Jinsheng picked up a light machine gun, and without blinking his eyes, he swept towards the Japanese army.

Or how can we say that it was brought out by Weng Zhaoyuan, and there is a fierce Zhang Fei energy in his bones that is not afraid of anything. It was this shuttle that knocked down a row of devil soldiers, and even broke the marines into two pieces, separating the front and back. Ambush! This was the instinctive reaction of the Sasebo Marine Corps, and the team became a mess. Speaking of which, this group of boys is really embarrassing to the navy. There are 2,000 of them, each of them is pale with fright, which is completely incompatible with the Bushido spirit in our impression.The one in the first half hadn't fully reacted yet, but the one in the second half had oiled the soles of their feet and ran away desperately.

The soldiers who were "chased" by them saw, what are you waiting for, and chased them together with the "ambush". The marines ran wildly all the way, and lost Zhang Huabang again. 40 people repelled the 2,000 marines who were clearing the way with tanks, big news.On the same day, British and American newspapers in Shanghai reported with eye-catching headlines, and the hero Zhao Jinsheng became famous at home and abroad for a while. This is why after the Kurume brigade went ashore, there was not even a sign of the marines. It can be said that before Xia Yuan came, Nomura had already received a blow in his head. It is no wonder that he became humbled in front of the "disobedient" army.

But what he didn't expect was that this stick was actually not too heavy, and there was a bigger stick waiting for him ahead. The reason why the Japanese navy has been unable to speak hard in front of the army, or to put it another way, why Nomura has not been able to command the Yuan, in the final analysis is because it is too soft. It is always impossible to open the situation. The Marine Corps should have more material than the Army, but it really doesn't help when fighting, what's going on? But Nomura didn't have many choices. The so-called "as the decisive position", if he wants not to be looked down upon by the army, he has to continue to fight.

Once the emperor and the courtiers, the former direct command of the Marine Corps was Yusao Samejima, but Nomura replaced him as soon as he came up, and his successor was Major General Uematsu. No way, Colonel, how about Major General? On February 8, the 21st year of the Republic of China (1932), the pressure on the Zhabei defenders suddenly increased. Under the command of Uematsu, the Japanese Marine Corps moved out all the cannons. Counting them, there were more than 20 of them. When they saw the position of the 19th Route Army, it was a fierce bombardment. After the bombardment, the tanks covered and the infantry charged.

The tactics are still the same, but the situation on both sides is quite different. At this time, because Lao Jiang was guarding Nanjing with the guard division, the other two divisions of the 19th Route Army outside Shanghai were finally replaced, and they were all deployed to the Shanghai battlefield.Among them, the 60th Division (Shen Guanghan Division) originally stationed in Suzhou directly entered Zhabei and cooperated with the First Division of the District Shounian Division to defend. The opponent is stronger, but the Japanese Marine Corps is still not much better. From Bogong to Nomura, they all think highly of their marines, thinking that this generation usually looks majestic and majestic, which is very similar to that, but it is actually quite wrong.

In this world, no one is born knowing how to fight, they only learn it after fighting.The Marine Corps looks beautiful and their marksmanship is not bad, but they live on ships all year round and have little actual combat experience on land. At that time, wars had to be fought desperately, so the so-called "barbaric growth" was also true.But since the marines put on the navy uniforms, they have also contracted the problems of other navies. They think that they are born to sit on a chair and drink coffee. How can they be like those garlic-eating troops, holding bayonets with bared teeth? What about rushing forward?The image is too ugly, how decent is it, and what technical content can it reflect? The Marine Corps should be "cared for" by tanks, move forward slowly, or hold a gun and find a target to shoot like usual training. After the previous confrontation, the 19th Route Army, which is almost entirely composed of veterans, has become smoother and smoother, and has already figured out the offensive mode and weaknesses of the Marine Corps. Seeing tanks approaching, no one was afraid. Whether it's a Vickers or a British tank, as long as you master the knack of attacking its life, they are no different from toy cars. The officers and soldiers of the District Shounian Division also came up with a new method at this time. They sent people to carry bundles of straw from the surrounding countryside. Not to sleep, but to "feed" the tank. At night, as long as you spread these straws on the road, there will be a good show in the daytime. Tanks are not sweepers on the street. The wheels or engine can easily get entangled in straw, and they can't move immediately.At this time, the death squad that had ambushed in advance took advantage of the momentum and rushed out, stuffing bundles of cluster grenades into the car, and the tank car seemed to be reimbursed like this. Aren't the marines still following the tanks, and they just watch? That's right. Not only did they just watch, these gutless guys even turned around and ran away.Because grenades not only bomb tanks, but also bomb them. According to the memories of the 19th Route Army, the Japanese marines at that time were not as kind as their army brothers.When fighting, "I'm extremely afraid of my army's hand-to-hand combat." It's okay to shoot and shoot from a distance. The defenders saw this shortcoming of the Marine Corps. Aren't you good at marksmanship? I don't want to compare marksmanship with you. When the attacking Japanese army kept shooting, they all got under the fortifications.When the Japanese army approached the defensive position ("as soon as it was closer"), there were hand grenades in their pockets. After the bombing was over, bayonets were put on and hand-to-hand combat. What the marines are afraid of is hand-to-hand combat, and just scaring them can scare them back. Thirdly, although the Japanese army attacked fiercely that day, "repeatedly charging forward, one after another," they always just blossomed and failed to bear fruit, and Zhabei was stunned. No matter what, they are still on the attacking side at this time, and after the day is over, they will only be able to defend. February 9. Shen Guanghan's division suddenly mobilized troops and detoured back to Jiangwan, north of Zhabei. There, the 19th Route Army hit a gorgeous uppercut.From north to south, they pounded the right flank of the Marines. The swiftness of his movements and the ferocity of his offensive were completely beyond Major General Uematsu's expectations. Originally, although the marines were unable to attack, they could still maintain a basic formation. Being hit hard by this was the group-style hand-to-hand combat they were most afraid of. They fell into chaos in a short period of time. They had no choice but to retreat in a hurry. . Cai Tingkai's iron fist was not just as simple as rescuing the Zhabei defenders.It is clearly written in the 19th Route Army's combat plan against Japan that it is to "take the opportunity to oppress the enemy on the Huangpu River and annihilate it". Don't you guys like to play with fire? Now I won't lose any of them, and I will destroy you all. Nomura also knows tactics, as soon as Uematsu is in a hurry, he knows that something is wrong.Get the Sasebo Special Marines here quickly. At first, everyone agreed that this treasure was reserved for Xiayuan to attack Wusong Fortress, but now that the fire was imminent, Nomura didn't care so much, and repeatedly urged the other party to rush to Zhabei for reinforcements. Don't delay for a second, get there quickly. The Sasebo Marine Corps arrived in a car, and finally saved the "tragic luck" of the Zhabei Marine Corps, preventing the latter from being "annihilated". It has become impossible to attack again, and even the tanks are almost blown up, so how can we charge? Fortunately, the cannon is still there, and it can still shoot shells in the direction of Zhabei. As a result, the Marine Corps, which used to be arrogant and arrogant, became a monk who beat the clock for a day, using this to dawdle and do errands every day.As for the effect of the artillery firing, no one cares about it anymore. Being so unmotivated, he sneered at Xia Yuan who was standing aside. I have said long ago that the Jiangwan issue must be resolved.If Jiangwan is already in my hands, how can the 19th Route Army successfully complete the detour? Nomura was speechless. In fact, he didn't think Jiangwan was unimportant, but he was worried that the Kurume brigade had too few troops and might not be able to accomplish anything. He wanted to fight together after the Kanazawa division arrived in Shanghai. To let Xia Yuan attack Wusong Fortress, in fact, he hoped to pick a soft persimmon first, so as not to hurt his vitality before the arrival of the large army. People are really looking after you. It's a pity that Xia Yuan didn't understand his "hard work". The deep-rooted contradiction between the army and the navy made him naturally have a rebellious mentality: In addition to commanding blindly, I am afraid that I will steal your limelight and take your credit. Since he was ashamed of his face, Xia Yuan decided to abandon the leadership to start a revolution, and took his own Kurume brigade to the road to success. Street fighting has gradually turned to field fighting, and both sides in the battle will experience greater tests. When the fight really started, Xia Yuan found out that Nomura was really a good person, at least he was a person who couldn't lie, because they really didn't fool him at all. The opponent of the Kurume Brigade is the 61st Division of the 19th Route Army (Master Mao Weishou) stationed in Jiangwan, which has been guarding Nanjing before. This teacher is not strong. Not strong means—not generally strong. The 19th Route Army has three divisions. It is of course not unreasonable to single them out to defend the capital city of Nanjing. This is the first brand of the 19th Route Army, the first main division, and the troops are all Guangdong veterans.Some people fought all the way with the troops, and I'm afraid they didn't even know how many battles they had fought. They had quite a lot of combat experience. The former 78th Division (District Au Shounian) has already seen it, and it is still a little behind the 61st Division. Correspondingly, the luck of the Kurume brigade was not so bad.It was really hard for him to meet such a powerful opponent at the beginning. Then go back to Wusong to fight the fort?Or wait for the 9th Division to help? You can't let the guys in the navy laugh their teeth out, how can they come out to mess around in the future. Xia Yuan finally understands what it means to be in a dilemma and to be forced to go to Liangshan. Hit with your eyes closed, wherever you hit counts. Unlike most of the officers and soldiers of the 19th Route Army who are Cantonese, Mao Weishou, the commander of the 61st Division, is from Jiangxi.This man is good at fighting, otherwise even a foreigner like him would not be able to get along smoothly in the Cantonese army with a heavy nostalgia. However, he happened to be ill at the time and had to be replaced by Zhang Yan, commander of the 122nd Brigade to which he belonged. After four days of fighting without any progress, Xia Yuan decided to forcibly cross Yunzaobang. In order to let everyone see it more clearly, brother, I did it myself and drew a picture of "Japanese Kurume Brigade Breaking the Halberd Yunzaobang". In this hand-drawn drawing, we can see that the Kurume Brigade has been unable to open a gap in the front of Jiangwan, so he had to find a way from the north, but there was Yunzaobang blocking it. Bang is a name for rivers and lakes in the south. The typical one is the well-known Shajiabang, and Yunzaobang is the third largest river in Shanghai after Huangpu River and Suzhou Creek. The railways form exactly an equilateral triangle. There used to be a bridge on Yunzaobang. For example, from Yunzaobang Station on the Songhu Railway to Wusong Bridge, there is a Yunzaobang Bridge across the middle. The Sasebo Marine Corps first attacked Weng Zhaoyuan through this bridge. Isn't the Marine Corps no good, they were beaten back. Weng Zhaoyuan is not stupid, but he can let you Japanese cross the river for the second time. The explosives were piled under the bridge, and there was a rumbling sound, and the bridge was simply blown up. Now, even if Xia Yuan figured it out himself, he was willing to follow Nomura’s plan. Deploying a direct attack on Wusong will not work, because there is no bridge to cross. Look at this unlucky guy, wouldn't it be better to listen to Nomura's words earlier, then there is still a bridge to rely on, and now you have to swim across. But even if he wanted to swim, Xia Yuan didn't plan to swim from Wu Song, he set his sights on Ji Jiaqiao, which was defended by Zhang Yan. Of course, it was called Jijia Bridge, and there was no bridge there, so it had to be crossed by force. According to Xia Yuan's idea, if he can successfully cross this time, although he still can't take Jiangwan from the front, he can double-team the Wusong Fort from the side after passing through Zhang Yan's defense zone - the next best thing, Jiangwan can't take it , or attack Wusong. As for how to find face again from Nomura, there are naturally ways.For example, it can be said like this, do you think I am really going to fight Jiangwan, hehe, no, I am a drunkard who does not care about drinking, attacking Jiangwan is fake, attacking Wusong is real, this is not to help you take down the Wusong Fort Did you take it down in one fell swoop? There is no basis for this statement.The field battle left an ambush in the front. He said that he attacked Jiangwan to open up a landing point for the Ninth Division. At that time, this excuse made Nomura confused. You can just take the Wusong Fort, that is. What a landing point.Now that we have circled around, Xia Yuan can be confident again. Your navy knows to go straight. The landing point I want to open up is actually the Wusong Fort, but you have to use roundabout tactics to know. In this world, Xia Yuan may be the only one who understands in his heart that he chose to forcibly cross Yun Zaobang because he had no choice but to do so. Just the day before launching the operation, Shimomoto sent an urgent telegram to Lieutenant General Kenkichi Ueda, head of the 9th Division, who was sailing in the sea. In this telegram to his own people, he told the truth: "Shanghai is in a hurry!" After sending the telegram, the major general was ready to realize his last chance at Yunzaobang. Crossing a river, especially if the enemy forces are well prepared, is actually a very dangerous business. If the opponent hits halfway with all his strength, the person in the middle of the river will definitely die ugly. There are not no examples of success, but very few, and examples of failure are too numerous to enumerate. As a battle-hardened commander, Zhang Yan is also very aware of the weight of Yunzaobang's gains and losses in Jiangwan's defense system, so he specially placed a company on the north bank of Yunzaobang (too many people can't squeeze it in), At the same time, multi-layer fortification was carried out behind it. But the timing of Xia Yuan's choice of smuggling was very good. During those two days, a heavy fog suddenly appeared and gradually filled the entire river. At this time, the mentality of the Chinese defenders to be ready for battle has more or less relaxed: devils can't survive on a sunny day, let alone such a bad weather? And this is exactly what Xia Yuan wanted. Taking advantage of the combined cover of night and fog, he sent a squadron of engineers to bridge the river. By 4 a.m., the pontoon bridge was complete. In the early morning of February 13, the vanguard of the Kurume Brigade crossed the bridge and crossed the river. In order to better trouble the defenders, the Japanese army released a large number of smoke bombs during the forced crossing. When the guards found out, the opponent had already arrived. The most favorable opportunity for blocking is lost as soon as it is missed. When it comes to hand-to-hand combat, the defenders do not have the advantage.The reason is that building fortifications on the bank of Yunzaobang is completely different from building fortifications at Zhabei intersection. The riverside is wet and damp. Since the ground is not sufficiently supported, even if you pile a few more layers of sandbags on it, it will not be very reliable.This has also become a fatal injury for river bank fortifications. After all, they came from this ghost place of Kyushu. The devils after the successful crossing seemed like bullets would not see through their bodies. They were all so excited, screaming strangely, rushing all the way sideways, and no one was willing to retreat easily. ("The momentum is like destroying mountains and rowing seas, the voice moves the world, and within a few miles, flesh and blood are flying everywhere"). In just a few hours, the company guarding Yunzaobang was all killed.Soon after, several positions such as Jijiaqiao, Yaojiawan, and Zhongjiazhai were also broken by the Japanese army. The frontline troops of the 19th Route Army suffered heavy casualties, and the situation was precarious (“endangered”). Seeing that the position was about to be lost, Zhang Yan personally supervised the battle as an acting division commander, and the entire division pressed on, desperately trying to regain Zhong's house. For a Zhong family house, the two sides fought hand-to-hand seven or eight times, from throwing grenades to directly stabbing each other with bayonets, which made people think that they had returned to the old era of cold weapons. At dusk, Xiayuan Mingjin withdrew his troops, ordered the troops to stop attacking temporarily, and stationed in Yaojiawan on the spot. From the initiation of the forced crossing to the present, the Japanese army has been racing all the way, and they need to take a breather. As the commander, Xia Yuan himself is still very determined. He knew that forcibly crossing Yunzaobang was the key.If the fight continues as it is today, not only will Zhang Yan be defeated, but it will not be far from outflanking Wu Song.Why is there any need to hurry forward? Tonight, rest well. If everyone can sleep so peacefully, of course it will be fine, the problem is that some people can't sleep. Zhang Yan couldn't sleep, and neither could the officers and soldiers in the division. During the day, a battalion commander was lost, a regiment commander was injured, and he suffered great losses, but he was still unable to completely repel the enemy.what to do? It seems that only the treasure of the town house of the 19th Route Army can be used: night attack. This was a tactic often used by the Chinese army at that time when the combat power was obviously weaker than that of the opponent-if you are not prepared, you will be killed if you bite. Turn the tide of battle, just tonight. A death squad was then formed, with 60 individuals voluntarily joining ("generosity please die"). I have seen some descriptions that say that the death squads are rewarded with great rewards, and there must be brave men, which is the role played by a lot of people. I just don't believe it. Hold a pile of money in front of you, buy your life, and let you die immediately, are you willing? Who has no parents, who has no brothers, who has no wife and children, who has no desire to live.Ants are greedy for life, but what about humans? But there is no other way to win now. Only by fighting to the death can there be hope.This is a helpless decision, but also a tragic choice. Before setting off, the death squads wrapped their bodies with explosives and bullets, and everyone regarded death as home without hesitation. They are a group of fearless warriors. 7:30 p.m. Under the cover of night, the Death Squad sneaked into the Japanese barracks in Yaojiawan in batches after touching the sentry post. The danger struck, but the Kyushu devils were still unaware of it. Tired from playing during the day, I slept soundly, right, so I can clean up you guys. Although there are only 60 people in the district, this is 60 fierce people. If you can beat it, hit it, if you can't beat it, pull the fuse on your body, and die with you bastard sons. After a storm, none of the 60 warriors survived, and none of them left their names. Suffering from this "flying disaster", the still sleepy Kurume brigade suddenly exploded: Explosions were happening everywhere in their own camp, and this situation is an ambush on all sides.Run quickly ("I thought the army was coming, so I collapsed"). Zhang Yan, who was observing the movement, saw that the enemy's position was in chaos, so he waved the flag and ordered the whole division to launch a general attack on the Japanese army from the periphery. The Kurume brigade retreated, and many people fled to Yunzaobang. This is natural, it is close and there is a river blocking it, so it is easier to get out. But you say hello to the brothers on the other side: we are back. Didn't say hello. In fact, it is not difficult to understand, after all, this is a defeated battle, and it is not a good thing, so what to say hello. Of course, it may not be possible at all. The Japanese soldiers here fought all day during the day and were exhausted; the Japanese soldiers over there did not need to fight, and their spirits were still very good. They didn't have their turn to go to the front line, and they were depressed at the rear. Suddenly they heard someone shouting from the opposite side, stood up and looked, and saw a large group of people vaguely appearing on the bridge. I can't see clearly, but it's probably from China.Because no notice or order was received, it was said that the forward troops had withdrawn again. So what are you waiting for, let the guns go up and give them a half-shot! The Japanese soldiers on the bridge were miserable, and were confused by the "Chinese and Japanese coalition forces" on the north and south banks, and made dumplings. Half Jiang Sesel and half Jiang Hong are perfectly appropriate to describe the fate of these unlucky people. Zhao Yijian, who was the chief of staff of the 19th Route Army at the time, later described that on the Yunzaobang battlefield that day, "the corpses of Japanese pirates are like mountains, and the river is red"-the corpses of Japanese soldiers on the bank have piled up into hills, and the river is also full of blood. turned red. This situation made this general, who was used to seeing swords and swords, feel "horrible". Of course, he was talking about Xia Yuan and his proud soldiers from Kyushu. Although the 19th Route Army also made great sacrifices in the battle of Yunzaobang, it was undoubtedly a great encouragement to the morale of the troops that they were able to turn the crisis into safety in the field and repel the Japanese formed army. On the same day, the long-awaited 9th Division (Kanaze Division) finally landed in Shanghai. Originally, it was not so fast according to the scheduled plan. It was Ueda, the division commander, who ordered the ship on board to speed up after receiving the urgent telegram from Shimomoto, and rushed over in a hurry. As soon as this side collapsed to the ground, the people from the other side arrived, and the relay cooperation was quite tacit, but it was already a little late. After the "accident" of Yunzaobang was hit hard, the Kurume brigade was in a state of depression and lost the ability to fight alone. No matter how wronged Nomura was, since he lost, he still had to be spanked on his ass. The Army would not say that its Kurume brigade was defeated because it did not listen to the call.The responsibility is still in the navy. These people don't know how to fight at all, and they can't win by themselves. Give him command of the troops, but they also took the share we gave. The existence of the navy is really a disgrace to the soldiers of the empire. I heard that Shanghai was defeated again, and the military command was like a frost-beaten eggplant. This time even they lost confidence: Is it true that our navy is not good at land warfare?No way…… Fighting a war is not a dinner party. The staff headquarters is not polite at all. They don’t even do ideological work, so they immediately announced a change of command and appointed the commander of the 9th Division, Lieutenant General Kenkichi Ueda (No. The third coach. Among the graduates of the University of China, Ueda Kenkichi is two years older than Shimomoto, and he can be regarded as his senior brother.This person has always been known as the "elder of the army" in the army. He is energetic and good at showing off.The achievement he is proud of is that he participated in the First World War. As a staff officer with the army, he went to Siberia to fight. The first thing this old man did after taking office was to inspect the position majestically. After showing off in public, he asked people to send "Sorrowful Medton Letters" (ultimatums) to the 19th Route Army and the Shanghai Municipal Government respectively. The content is to require the 19th Route Army to withdraw from the original line of defense, and must be 40 miles away from the border of the concession.If you don't do it, you will mess up ("If you don't accept this condition, the Japanese army will have the fact of freedom of action"). Ueda also "reasonably" left two days for the 19th Route Army so that they could "withdraw" earlier. Army commander Cai Tingkai took the ultimatum to commander-in-chief Jiang Guangnai and asked him how to answer. Jiang Guangnai didn't even bother to write a reply to Ueda, and said that he should send a letter to this arrogant lieutenant general with a cannon. Our 19th Route Army is not intimidated, just let your horse come here. From Ueda's point of view, being able to speak with his nostrils turned upside down is not all for the opponent to see. That's quite a bit of confidence (not to talk about it blindly or not). Although the 9th Division (Kanaze Division) is not a first-class veteran division, it has a long history of combat. It participated in the Battle of Lushunkou as early as the Russo-Japanese War.Therefore, the arrival of the division was a shot in the arm for the struggling Japanese army in Shanghai. Together with the original Kurume Brigade and the Marine Corps, the total strength of the Japanese army has reached 17,000. Ueda believes that so many troops should be more than enough to put into the Shanghai battlefield. Almost at the same time that the Kurume mixed brigade came to Shanghai, after learning the news that the Japanese army would send a large number of reinforcements, Lao Jiang also made a desperate plan. Now that the Nanjing government has moved to Luoyang, the guards that originally replaced the 19th Route Army to guard the capital can be drawn out.This is the 87th Division (Zhang Zhizhong and the teacher), the 88th Division (Yu Jishi's division) and the Central Teaching Corps, which can be called "two divisions and one corps", with a total of more than 30,000 people. They were transferred to Nanxiang and Kunshan as the general reserve team. . If the 19th Route Army is the boss of the local army (the old Northwest Army has disintegrated, the Northeast Army will not be mentioned at this time), then this "two divisions and one corps" was the absolute trump card of the Central Army at that time. The backing of the troops inside is scary. The predecessor of the two divisions was the Central Security Force, which was once the focus of training as the government's bodyguards. At this time, it has become the earliest German weapon division in China. Although the teaching corps is only organized at the regiment level, its combat effectiveness can be compared to a division.Because it is not an ordinary teaching team, but the teaching team of the Whampoa Military Academy, which is full of outstanding students of the Whampoa Military Academy. Of course, as a student army, they were not very good at fighting at first.According to people who participated in the Central Plains War, the teaching corps at that time wore different clothes from the other Central Army. As a result, they were "focused on care" by the old Northwest Army, and they were beaten by these veterans. All he could do was shake his head and sigh. But that's how battles are fought. By this time, the teaching corps has changed from "first-year freshmen" to "veteran students". On the battlefield, it is not others who "take care" of them, but they "take care of" others. According to Lao Jiang and He Yingqin, these troops alone are of course not enough, so they have to be transferred. He Yingqin called Jiangxi to transfer the 9th Division (Jiang Dingwen Division) to the vicinity of Shanghai to strengthen China's deep strength, but this order was rejected by Xiong Shihui, then chairman of Jiangxi Province. He replied to He Yingqin, hoping that the other party would reconsider the decision to deploy troops. The reason is that Minister He is obviously embarrassing him. Since you asked me to fight the Red Army, then I have to concentrate on doing this job well. Now that all the troops have been transferred, how can I fight? Everyone knows that there is a shortage of major generals in Shanghai, but my troops are not many ("Jiangsu's troops are definitely insufficient to fight against the Japanese, so why are there more troops in Jiangxi?"). Therefore, he said that He Yingqin's order was purely to gouge out flesh and mend sores, and in the end he could only end up with both sides hurting. He Yingqin is famous for his good temper, so he didn't bother with him, but sent another telegram a few days later: The opinion is reserved, but the 9th Division still needs to be transferred. Xiong Shihui didn't expect that after so many days, He Yingqin would still be relentless and bother him about the deployment of troops, he was almost out of anger: Only you can sing high-profile, you are patriotic, Xiong does not.Simply, you transfer me to Shanghai as well, and send someone else to Jiangxi to do this useless errand (“Hui also intends to invite Ying to fight against Japan and go to Shanghai to serve, and the central government will invite other talented people from the central government to deal with local affairs”). In this way, you will also prevent you from saying that I am a backward person in the future ("Today, it is the most glorious to resist Japan, and I dare not be future generations"). The emotion was so intense that he almost threw off the black hat, but his arms couldn't twist his thighs, so in the end he still had to gouge out his own "flesh". It was agreed that after Chen Cheng's troops took over, Master Jiang Dingwen could be withdrawn from Jiangxi ("The public has repeatedly called , and since it is not allowed to climb up and stay again, it has been ordered to move away quickly"). At the same time, the 47th Division (Shangguan Yunxiang Division) stationed in Hangzhou and the 1st Division (Hu Zongnan Division) in Henan also received telegrams, ready to go to Shanghai to participate in the war at any time. In addition to the Central Army that Chiang Kai-shek can control, there is actually a "hidden" reserve force that is rarely known to outsiders.But we can leave this for later. On February 14, after learning that the Jinze division had landed, the "two divisions and one corps" as the general reserve team were combined into the 5th Army, with Zhang Zhizhong as the commander, and marched to the Shanghai battlefield, officially under the command of Jiang Guangnai (In fact, Cai Tingkai is still in charge). Zhang Zhizhong (Baoding Military Academy No. 3) was previously the director of education of the Central Continental University, that is, the Whampoa Military Academy.Regardless of qualifications or rank, they are not below Jiang and Cai. As the absolute elite of the Central Army, the 5th Army does not seem to be under the jurisdiction of the 19th Route Army of the local army. It seems that this is a somewhat puzzling arrangement, but it can be regarded as Lao Jiang's proud strokes. Because at this time he still believes that, unless it is absolutely necessary, he still cannot take the risk of an all-out war with Japan. For the Shanghai battlefield, reinforcements must be reinforced, and the main force of the Central Army must be sent to the field, but this secret must not be known to the outside world. The 19th Route Army's battle can be interpreted as a conflict between the Guangdong army and the Japanese army. This matter will not be a big deal, and it is impossible to expand it into an all-out war between China and Japan.However, if the Central Army had clearly participated, the nature and consequences would be quite different. We look at this reason now as far-fetched, but at that time even the Japanese believed it.Because in their eyes, China is a mess, the center belongs to the center, and the localities belong to the localities, so they don't need to be mixed together. The 5th Army is under the command of the 19th Route Army, which can not only make Jiang and Cai happy, but also play a role in deceiving people while enhancing their military strength. Why not do it. In fact, in actual combat, both Zhang Zhizhong and his 5th Army have considerable military autonomy. Everyone is well aware of this special command relationship between superiors and subordinates, but they just don't point it out. According to Cai Tingkai's deployment, the Chinese army was divided into two wings. Among them, Zhang Zhizhong of the 5th Army was located on the left wing, and fought on the front line of Wusong via Temple Line in the north of Jiangwan (excluding Jiangwan). The 19th Route Army is located on the right wing and is responsible for the defense from Jiangwan (including Jiangwan) to Zhabei.
