Chapter 258: Prisoner Exchange Agreement (4)
ps: Happy New Year, let’s talk about the update plan again. The update will be updated every day from the first to the fifth day of the lunar month, four thousand words, and the recovery of the sixth day of the lunar month (tentatively determined). I don’t know what will happen after the New Year, everyone will forgive me!
After being shocked, the eyes of the five people gathered together.
In three minutes, no one spoke.
"Do it!" Liao Sen is a top student at the Saint-Sill Military Academy in France. He has lived abroad and eaten foreign bread. Moreover, France is a romantic country. He has learned some gentlemanly and elegant demeanor, and he has lost his identity. He basically won't be born to him.
However, this time, his excited face was flushed and his dark skin was shiny and rosy, which could not suppress the passion in his heart.
Qiu Qingquan was also very excited. He knew that if this matter was successful, they would leave a lot of money in military history!
Leaving a name in history is the supreme ideal of many Chinese people.
"What I worry most is the Japanese army in Wuhu and Xuancheng. If they maneuver along the highway, they can reach Nanjing within one day." Qiu Qingquan said.
"I have already thought about this. After I taught the 1st Brigade and 2nd Regiment of the Corps to break through the siege, I rested and gathered the remaining troops in the Qilin Bridge area in Nanling, and reorganized into the new 38th Brigade of the National Revolutionary Army. This unit will cooperate with our breakthrough operation. When necessary, they will nail the 6th Division here with the attitude of attacking Wuhu."
"If a brigade has a full calculation, it will only be three or four thousand people. The 6th Division of the Japanese Army is a regular field division, and the division commander of the division, Sesou Sei-jun, is a Japanese general, and it is difficult to deal with."
"Although most of the new 38th Brigade are new recruits, the veterans are basically the backbone of my teaching corps, with a total strength of 8,000 people, one regiment's Japanese equipment, one regiment's German equipment, the engineering corps, the infantry artillery battalion, heavy machine gun battalion, cavalry battalion, the logistics battalion, and a car brigade and health team. Although it is not as good as the German equipment division in its heyday, it is not far from that." Leng Feng explained.
"Good, this is better than our second brigade of the corps!"
"This is the family I have saved up with great effort. It is all used in the New 38th Brigade. So, if the Sixth Division comes out of Wuhu, we will copy his nest!" Leng Feng said.
"Well, Brother Leng is indeed prepared for a long time. The hope of success in the plan is a little more." Qiu Qingquan is now very impressed by Leng Feng.
Leng Feng grew up too fast, and sometimes he couldn't help but feel a little jealous, but fortunately Leng Feng was still his subordinate. No matter what the future holds, the relationship that was once will not be lost.
Leng Feng respected him very much. After discussing with him, he liked him more and more. However, he also knew that Leng Feng would soon soar into the sky.
He, the guide, will soon be left behind. It is false to say that he is not jealous, but he also knows that if he does not have himself, Leng Feng can rise, but it will be a little later.
No matter what, I am still Leng Feng's Bole and the old commander, and when I get along, I am quite keen on each other. This time, if I can stand out, I will definitely write the most brilliant mark on Qiu Qingquan's military career.
However, he also wanted to fight this battle by himself, but he knew his situation. If he was asked to command, it would definitely be better than Leng Feng's command.
Qiu Qingquan really couldn't handle such a calculating battle.
"In this way, we don't need to worry about the Japanese army in Wuhu."
"It will take at least three days for us to retreat 300,000 people to Jiangbei. In other words, we will block the Japanese army in Nanjing for up to three days, which is a huge test for us." Leng Feng said.
"Three days, where are the Japanese troops in Jiangbei?"
"Our intention is reported to the command headquarters. What do you think will happen?" Leng Feng said.
"Do you want the commander to change the combat plan?" Ju Youlin took a breath.
"No, we only need the Fifth War Zone Chief Office to cooperate to restrain and pressure the Japanese troops in Chuxian and the ** area. It is best to take the initiative to attack and hold them back." Leng Feng said.
"What about the Japanese troops in Yangzhou? If they were dispatched, how would we deal with it?"
"The troops crossing the river should first disguise our prisoner-of-war camp in Pukou. Brother Jianchu, then you will first cross the river and serve as the commander of the front enemy in Pukou, block the Japanese army from Yangzhou, and ensure that the people retreat to Jiangbei."
"What should we do with the Japanese fleet in the Yangtze River? Once we cross the river, we can't deal with them at all?" Ju Youlin asked in confusion.
"This is indeed a difficult problem, and I didn't think of any good solution for a while." Leng Feng nodded. There was indeed no good solution in the face of the Japanese warships.
"Fort, Jiangning Fortress!"
"We had used the fort in Qingliang Mountain before to carry out artillery bombardment on the Japanese army's "Zhongling" Festival. After that, the Japanese army demolished all the fortress artillery on Jiangning Fortress. Jiangning Fortress is now in name only.
"It is impossible for the Japanese fleet to attack on a large scale at this moment. Even if the Japanese army sends a fleet to come from Japan, it will take at least two days. All we need to face is some Japanese naval warships docked in Shanghai, and the Japanese navy that is confronting our navy."
"Even so, it's not something we can deal with."
"If our navy can help us drag the Japanese naval fleet in Madang, then we only need to face the Japanese naval fleet coming from downstream."
"Is there any information about Japanese naval ships docked in Shanghai again?"
“Yes, this is not difficult to collect.”
"I have a plan. Do you think it's feasible?" Leng Feng said.
"Speaking!"
"We can arrange mines in the narrow waterways of Jiangyin Fortress, not much, as long as it can prevent the Japanese fleet from passing." Leng Feng said, "The same is used to arrange mines upstream to prevent the Japanese fleet from approaching us."
"Water mine, we don't have it at all?" Everyone, you, your eyes were dark.
"No, we can make it ourselves!"
"Make it yourself, can you?"
"I can, but I must have materials. Our ancestors created mines hundreds of years ago. Can't we, the unfilial descendants still create them?" Leng Feng said heavily.
"Brother Leng, this is no joke. Do you really create mines?"
"If it is too advanced, I really can't create it now, but it's a little simpler and okay. We don't want to be beautiful. As long as it can be used, it's fine." Leng Feng began to calculate in his mind. Making mines is a technical job, and manufacturing can be made, and the efficiency of manual labor is a little low. If we want to achieve the effect of blocking the Japanese fleet, the number of mines required must be quite large.
Three thousand water mines!
After a rough estimate, it was too difficult to create three thousand mines without water.
In addition to the threat from the Japanese fleet, there are also Japanese planes from the sky. For national rescuers who have almost no air defense power, the way to avoid Japanese bombing is to avoid the daytime and cross the river at night.
"Brother Leng, if you want to block the Yangtze River route, there are two more channels. How many mines are there?" Although Qiu Qingquan does not understand naval battles, the basic truth is still clear.
The water surface of the Yangtze River is as wide as the water surface, so you can't just throw a few mines down and block Japanese ships.
He was very worried that if he could not stop the Japanese fleet, even if he took advantage of the opportunity at night and crossed the river north, there would be great casualties.
This is also the reason why he did not decide to "go north" after repeated consideration. If the casualties are too great, it is better to retreat south. At least he can stand on 6 grounds and keep his feet stable.
But when you reach the river, no matter how good the water is, you can't help but feel scared. In the middle of winter, how many kilometers can you swim in one breath?
Qiu Qingquan was not afraid of death. No one who dared to fight with the Japanese with a gun was afraid of death. What he was afraid of was that sacrifice was worthless and cowardly.
"Conservatively estimated, I will get three thousand."
"Three thousand!"
"Where did we get three thousand mines? Even the Admiralty Department can't get so many mines, right?"
"There are clouds in military tactics. If it is empty, it is solid. If it is real, it is empty. Three thousand water mines do not necessarily need to be all real." Leng Feng smiled.
"Yes, this is great. We are not going to block the Japanese army. We just need to delay time and make them unable to rush over." Ju Youlin slapped his legs and shouted loudly.
"But even if at least a few hundred real ones are needed, otherwise the Japanese will see through it." Qiu Qingquan nodded. This is a solution. Before he couldn't figure out which one was real and which one was fake, the Japanese really dared to force his ship to break through?
"I'll find a way to do this." Leng Feng rubbed his temples slightly.
"Where is the time to break through?"
"It's not decided yet. In short, I'll try to celebrate the New Year in Jiangbei." Leng Feng said.
"After the first step is completed, we will block the retreat below, and also carry materials. Within three days, all the people in Nanjing, as well as materials and food, are arduous tasks."
"Yes, just based on the existing troops in our hands, I'm afraid it's still not enough?"
"Well, so, once we take down Nanjing City, the first task is to reorganize all ** soldiers in the safe zone." Leng Feng said.
"Yes, this is a must."
"Brother Jian Chu, there is another task to pick out those who have worked in artillery from among our people, drive cars and armored vehicles, and form an artillery battalion, a car battalion and an armored vehicle battalion."
"Brother Leng, what are you trying to do?"
"We must prepare for the future when accepting Japanese equipment, otherwise when we have equipment and no one, it doesn't mean that everything will be done in vain." Leng Feng said.
"I'll do this job," said Shen Zhiming, "I'm more familiar with the situation."
"Okay, I'll leave it to you."
"This is our plan a. As for plan b, I think Brother Jian Chu has considered it a long time ago. Let Brother Jian Chu talk about it in detail below?" Leng Feng couldn't take care of everything, and he had to leave it to others for a while.
Although Plan B may not be used, some are better to have plans than not.
"Based on Chief Leng, I was thinking about a plan to retreat to the south, that is, plan B. To put it bluntly, this is a spare tire. I hope it won't be used. However, if it is really used, we will not be in a hurry and unprepared." Liao Sen cleared his throat, gave a detailed explanation of plan B, and also formulated two retreat routes.
It will be opened until late at night. Whether Leng Feng’s plan A or Liao Sen’s plan B, it will be continuously improved and deepened during the discussion, and even imagined some possible situations.
Finally, a very detailed plan was formed.
Of course, this plan is still the final plan, but it has been basically decided.
The plan was not reported mainly to prevent leaks. Qiu Qingquan originally disagreed, but was convinced by Leng Feng. This plan was too big. Once the news leaked, it would be the lives of tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people.
No one can bear this responsibility.
The detailed plan was handed over to Wu Xiaoyun for personal care by Leng Feng. In other words, only Wu Xiaoyun and Leng Feng are qualified to contact this plan. Although Qiu Qingquan and others are the developers, they only know the general and cannot fully understand everything. (To be continued.)
