The 184th Division of the Yunnan Army was also on the Songhu battlefield.

On the southern front, it belongs to Zhang Fakui's right-wing corps. It belongs to the 10th Army.

exist.

Not completely there.

Although it was on the Songhu battlefield, the fighting was not fierce.

The area that the Right Wing Corps is responsible for defending is the part south of the Suzhou River and up to the seaside. In fact, it is south of the concession. There is also the Huangpu River in the middle.

There were also Japanese invaders who launched an attack from here, but there were not many troops and the attacks were not violent.

Therefore, the troops under the 8th and 10th Group Armies, which were affiliated with the Right Wing Corps, were constantly being transferred, and in the end there were only two empty shells left.

Now, the troops Zhang Fakui can command may only be a few divisions, thirty to forty thousand people.

Just get used to Chiang Kai-shek's usual routine.

rob Peter to pay Paul.

Treat the head for headache. Treat the foot for foot pain.

Zhang Fakui also knew that he was a clay sculpture commander.

On Chiang Kai-shek's territory, it was not his turn to make a real decision.

Therefore, he never asked anything about the operations of the headquarters. I was in Songjiang City and couldn't hear what was going on outside the window.

"Commissioner."

"Commissioner."

Zhang Yong came to the headquarters of the 184th Division and unexpectedly discovered that Rao Guohua, commander of the 145th Division of the Sichuan Army, was also there.

It turned out that the 145th Division of the Sichuan Army was also assigned to the southern front.

I vaguely feel that it is not a coincidence.

Chiang Kai-shek might be worried about something.

Don't dare to place too many local faction troops in key locations.

On the one hand, they are worried about the combat effectiveness of these miscellaneous troops and are unable to take on important tasks. On the other hand, they are also worried about the rebellion of chickens in cages.

On the battlefield, it could happen at any time. Chiang Kai-shek himself was an expert in conspiracy. He was naturally worried that others would imitate him.

It's hard to build trust, but it's very easy to break it.

"Hello."

Zhang Yong nodded and shook hands one by one.

Unexpectedly, there are actually two divisions of fresh troops in the south.

Chiang Kai-shek's tricks are really fascinating.

Why not deploy the 184th Division and the 145th Division to key battlefields?

Instead of deploying 100 troops (230 divisions)?

Is it because the commanders of these two divisions are not Huangpu students, so they cannot be trusted?

"How's the situation?"

"The Japanese invaders launched an attack yesterday, at the brigade level, but we repulsed it."

"What are the troop casualties?"

"fine."

Both gave the same answer.

Zhang Yong then understood that the troops should not suffer too many casualties.

It is incomparable to the battles at Luodian and Dachang. The intensity of the Japanese attack was not high.

This is not the main direction of attack by the Japanese invaders. There are fewer troops invested.

However, the national army was still passively defensive, waiting for the Japanese invaders to attack.

I didn't think of taking the initiative at all.

no.

You can't sit still and wait for death.

Since the enemy can attack, so can we.

At the beginning, wasn't it the national army that launched the first attack? It just failed to capture the target.

Now……

"What kind of troops are we next to?"

"To the north is the local security group. To the south is the 62nd Division. The division commander is named Tao Guang."

"What else?"

"No more. Now there are only three of our divisions left in the entire right-wing corps."

"oh……"

Zhang Yong began to think about it.

The 184th Division of the Yunnan Army was under his direct command.

The 145th Division of the Sichuan Army is not a big problem if it is temporarily commanded. As long as it can win, it is a trivial matter.

That's right. What we need most in the current Songhu battlefield is victory.

Chiang Kai-shek urgently needed a victory to prove that he had not made a mistake and that launching the attack was not a mistake.

Because the Battle of Songhu took a turn for the worse, many people within the Kuomintang Party were already criticizing Chiang Kai-shek for his reckless behavior, which made him very passive.

"Commander Rao, from now on, you must obey my command." Zhang Yong said bluntly.

"Yes." Rao Guohua did not ask in detail.

He knew that Zhang Yong was solely responsible for the Luodian war on the northern front.

Now that we have come to the southern front, we may have accepted secret orders from the high command. The so-called high command is actually Chiang Kai-shek.

All the decisions were made by Chiang Kai-shek, and everyone else just made up the numbers.

To listen to Zhang Yong is to listen to Chiang Kai-shek. This Zhang Yong was one of Chiang Kai-shek's most favored confidants.

For many things, Chiang Kai-shek did not go through formal channels. Just get used to it.

"Order the troops to prepare for battle."

"yes."

"We don't have many Japanese invaders in front of us. I'm going to launch a counterattack and eat them all."

"this……"

Rao Guohua turned his head and looked at Zhou Chong.

I found that Zhou Chong was also a little surprised and turned to look at him.

Obviously, none of them were mentally prepared for Zhang Yong's proposal. It came a bit suddenly.

"We must take the initiative. We cannot sit back and wait."

Zhang Yong slowly repeated the emphasis.

Radar maps show that within a radius of five kilometers, the number of Japanese invaders is only about 3,000.

They are mainly stationed around Zhoupu. The troops are relatively scattered.

In other words, the Japanese invaders had only one infantry regiment in front of them. It was much smaller than the Japanese invaders on the northern and central lines.

His eyes are bright.

This is simply a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

A somewhat absurd idea emerged from Zhang Yong's mind.

Perhaps, when the main force of the Japanese invaders was concentrated to the north of the Huangpu River, I could fight a big battle south of the Huangpu River?

South of the Huangpu River, the terrain is open and the battlefield is vast, which is conducive to the maneuverability of troops.

He has a radar map and is best at finding enemies.

As long as it is discovered in advance, it can be destroyed in advance. The Japanese invaders will not know how they died.

For example, the Japanese invaders only had one infantry regiment. Neither Zhou Chong nor Rao Guohua knew about it. Because they could not get accurate information, they did not dare to attack rashly.

However, Zhang Yong knew it.

Now that you know it, start a fight decisively.

Two divisions, about 20,000 men, surrounded an infantry regiment of the Japanese invaders——

The advantage is mine!

It’s really my advantage!
