Volume 2 Battle of Songhu Chapter 24 Transport Team

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    When I returned to the army, I learned that Japan had taken advantage of the situation to launch two breakouts.  Of course, their breakout direction will not be the headquarters building where our 15th Regiment is stationed, but the Huishan Pier and Gongda Cotton Mill where the Central Army is stationed.

    After all, behind the headquarters building is the hinterland of the national army, right?  In addition, the soldiers brought more than a dozen searchlights from the arsenal, which only illuminated the surroundings of the building as bright as day. Only a fool would choose the headquarters building as a breakthrough point.

    "Company Commander!" Platoon Commander Chi, who was lying next to me, leaned towards me and said, "I heard that the little devil managed to remove part of his protrusion!"

    "Hmm!" I tightened the quilt covering my body and said nothing.

    Although it is dangerous to garrison this headquarters building, it can be said that if this building was not of value to little Japan, I am afraid that we would have been bombarded into a pile by naval guns, including the people and the building.  Our current situation is not an exaggeration to describe even if we use the word "life hanging by a thread".

    It¡¯s just that danger is danger, but it¡¯s much more comfortable to be stationed here than in a trench.

    Isn¡¯t this right?  We just need to find a room and put the marching quilt on the floor to make a good bed. We can even smoke and drink on this "bed". For those of us soldiers fighting on the front line, it's still a good bed.  What could be better than this?

    "How did the little devil stick out?" I asked curiously after a while.

    You must know that except for the fact that the Central Army does not have heavy weapons such as aircraft and cannons, its equipment and quality are not much worse than those of Little Japan. In addition, its military strength is several times that of Little Japan. How can it be better to surround this big butt place?  Not too easy.

    "Do as I say!" Chen Dali, who was not far away, rushed to say: "The Central Army is nothing special. We can all block Little Japan. There are so many people in the Central Army and they still let Little Japan escape.  go out!"

    "That's right!" Some soldiers echoed: "The Central Army is just good at bragging and putting on airs, look at how arrogant they areit wouldn't be that good in a real war!"

    "Actually, it's not the Central Army's fault!" said the well-informed monkey: "I heard from the injured Central Army brothers The little devils and the Central Army are already fighting together. In some places, it's not even clear who occupies and controls them.  It is clear that the little devils sometimes wear the uniforms of the national army and sneak in to cause trouble, and then break out in the dark Then it becomes a mess and it is difficult to distinguish between ourselves and the enemy, and then a lot of the little devils escape"

    "Oh!" After listening to the monkey's words, the soldiers suddenly realized, thinking that if we fought like this with the Japs in the street fighting, and also let the Japs sneak attack maybe it would be even worse, so they all said  not talking anymore.

    "Exactly!" Li Wenxi got up from the bed and smiled at me: "Company Commander, why did you let the little devil learn all your moves? You didn't even pay the apprenticeship fee!"

    "Coax!" The soldiers were all amused by Li Wenxi's words.

    But I was the only one who couldn't laugh, because I knew very well that Little Japan didn't learn this trick from me, because in modern times, I knew that Little Japan was good at causing trouble inside the enemy and then taking advantage of the chaos to launch a surprise attack.  After the war, they called this tactic "infiltration warfare." As the name suggests, they sent small groups of troops to penetrate into the enemy's interior to cooperate with the attacking troops inside and outside.  For this purpose, the Japanese army even specially trained a group of soldiers who can speak Chinese

    What should we do if we encounter this tactic?  This is really a headache!  Little Japan looks similar to us, right?  Once the military uniform is changed, no one can tell whether it is real or fake.  But fortunately, we are currently stationed in the headquarters building, which has clear latitude and longitude from the Japanese army, so we don't need to think too much about it for the time being.

    "Hurry up and rest!" After the soldiers laughed for a while, I said with a semi-command tone: "There may be a fierce battle tomorrow, so keep your spirits up to deal with little Japan!"

    "Yes!" The soldiers responded, then stopped talking and got back into bed one by one.

    Strangely enough, I felt unbearably tired before I came back, but now I was tossing and turning in bed and couldn't fall asleep. Just when I was distressed, there was a sudden roar of a car outside the building, followed by a sound.  Then there was a sound of braking.

    Before I could react, a correspondent called out softly at the door: "Company Commander Fang, the automobile unit is here!"

    I happened to not be asleep either, so I got out of bed and walked down the aisle to look down, right?  Dozens of cars were parked on the other side of the building, and the car lights covered with cloth dimly illuminated the soldiers who were busy carrying ammunition to the cars on the first floor.

    "Company Commander Fang!" At this time, another correspondent came up and stood up to me and said, "The director of education asked you to come and say that we have something to discuss."

    "We'll be there soon!" I walked towards him without saying a word.Walking away, I knew clearly that what the superintendent of education was going to say must be related to this car camp.

    Sure enough, when I arrived at the regiment headquarters, the commander and several battalion commanders in the regiment were staring at the map

    "Captain Fang!" As soon as he saw me walking in, Captain Xu made room for me and explained in a low voice: "Before, we only thought about whether there was a car to transport ammunition, but now we don't realize it until the car comes.  Know where to transport the ammunition"

    "Hmm!" I couldn't help but be stunned when I heard this. This is really a big problem.  If the national army can unite to resist Japan then it won't be a problem. The ammunition can be transported anywhere in the vastness of China.  But the problem is now all the warlords have some selfish motives in their hearts, even the Central Army is no exception. With the loss of Peking and Tianjin, our original 29th Army can be said to have no base. The whole of China  There is no absolutely safe place!

    "Let's do this!" Someone soon suggested: "Our regiment is currently equipped with Japanese weapons, and these ammunition will be used no matter where we fight. Therefore, I think we should disperse the ammunition according to where we are likely to fight.  Come and send someone to keep it!¡±

    I have to admit that this makes sense, and it is also common sense, but

    Captain Xu frowned and said, "How can we know which places are possible places to fight? It is impossible for us to know the strategic intentions of our superiors."

    This is where the problem lies.  As the saying goes, the war situation is changing rapidly, and no one can predict where we will fight at the next moment.  Of course, except for me, who comes from modern times.

    I also thought about the possibility of a huge rout of these hundreds of thousands of national troops in the future, so I pretended to touch my chin and said, "Well I heard some about it at the headquarters!"

    "Well, tell me!" The superintendent and others have no doubt about this. After all, I often go to the headquarters these days, so it is normal for me to hear some rumors.

    "I don't know the specific situation!" I said with some reservations: "I just heard a few staff officers in the headquarters accidentally talk about the Wufu Line, Xicheng Line and the like, and the possibility of Japanese warships.  Landing in Hangzhou Bay"

    This is my brilliance. I don¡¯t explain my true thoughts step by step when I speak, but let the principals guess. This will make them more convinced.  And what I said is true. The headquarters did discuss the Japanese landing in Hangzhou Bay, didn't it?  It's just that I was the one who initiated the discussion. As for the Wufu Line and Xicheng Line, everyone who fought in Shanghai knew about these two lines of defense.  This is a defense line consisting of bunkers and trench fortifications that Chiang Kai-shek started building a few years ago. Its purpose is to allow the orderly retreat of the hundreds of thousands of troops in Shanghai today.

    From this point of view, Chiang Kai-shek was still very foresight in strategy. However, in history, in order to achieve a higher political goal, he did not allow those troops who had achieved the original strategic purpose to retreat, and ultimately allowed hundreds of thousands of troops to retreat.  The army was in danger of being surrounded and completely collapsed.

    As for the two lines of defense that cost a lot of manpower and material resources, it is difficult for the collapsed troops to reorganize and fight again. What's more, the national army that originally guarded these two lines of defense did so for a very ridiculous reason, that is, in order not to use fortifications.  They were used by the Japs to lock all the iron doors and blow up the weapons As a result, both lines of defense failed to function and fell into the hands of the Japs.

    "Oh!" After hearing what I said, the superintendent reacted quickly: "Do you have any plans to land in Hangzhou Bay?"

    He couldn't help but frown, and then lowered his voice and said: "It seems that the Japs are planning to attack from both sides and even want to surround our army. Shanghai cannot be defended!"

    "Yes!" Another officer continued: "And the Japanese attack route and direction are also very obvious, it must be Nanjing! So, Shangfeng's consideration should be to use these two lines of defense to cover the troops' withdrawal to Nanjing  , This can also slow down the Japanese army¡¯s advance towards Nanjing, so that Nanjing will have time to make more preparations!¡±

    "Yeah!" The chief education officer and the officers couldn't help but nodded. This is actually very obvious. After knowing this information, any officer or even a soldier can guess it.  In fact, I should say that I wanted them to guess it.

    "Then there's no need to think too much!" the education director immediately made the decision: "Immediately order the car battalion and all the cars we seized to form a transport team to transport ammunition at night, first to the Wufu line for storage, and then to Xicheng if there is time.  Thread, this matter"

    The director of education glanced at all of us, then set his eyes on Captain Xu and said: "Captain Xu, you will be responsible! As for the reception issue on the Wufu line, I will let Commander Song take care of it first!"

    "Yes!" Captain Xu stood up and said thisThe task has been completed. Although this is a fat job, at least you can leave the battlefield temporarily, right?  But its responsibility is no small matter, and can even be directly related to the life and death of our 15th Regiment.
