No, today Matsui scolded a group of devil officers at the command headquarters, scolded for a while, he felt tired, and thought that he couldn't scold the national army on the other side just by scolding, and it was not good to scold too much, and it was not good to spread it, and it seemed that he was not self-contained enough.
Seeing that Matsui finally stopped scolding, he stood up boldly and said: "General, according to the humble position, now is a critical period of the war, although we have not yet taken Luodian and Baoshan, but according to the news from the Shanghai intelligence station, the Chinese army has already exposed their shortcomings. ” Matsui raised his eyebrows lightly and asked with interest, "Oh, what are the drawbacks, tell me."
"There are many factions in the Chinese army, and the command is chaotic, which is obvious to all, and now they rely on numbers, fortifications and positions to barely resist, and only defend but not fight, which is a taboo for soldiers."
"I think the top brass of the Chinese army still have the illusion of peace talks, we can postpone the offensive, paralyze them, and at the same time try to win the support of the army headquarters, and send two more divisions to Shanghai, and then there will be a three-sided encirclement, and the whole army of China will definitely retreat."
"Without the army, the defensive line they built between Shanghai and Nanjing would be useless, and we could have driven straight into and occupied Nanjing."
After listening to these remarks, Matsui nodded with satisfaction, and his mood suddenly improved a lot.
It doesn't matter if it works or not, but someone can finally come up with a constructive battle plan.
"Well, you're right, I've been thinking about this for the past two days, so let's pause the large-scale offensive and send small forces to harass instead.
I will immediately send Chief of Staff Sato to Tokyo, preferably to reinforce the strength of two divisions, and I believe that before the New Year comes, the Imperial Japanese Army will capture Nanking, if not, I will disembowelment to thank the countrymen. ” Matsui is out of the way, no matter what the price is, he must take Nanjing in the shortest possible time, otherwise he will have no face to live.
"General, I suggest that you first concentrate three wings to storm the west flank of Luodian, according to reliable information, the eastern flank of the Chinese Army is defended by the 18th Division, which is the descendant of the Supreme Commander of the Songhu Battlefield of the Chinese Army."
"And guarding the west flank is the Central Army of China, an independent brigade, the brigade commander is called Zhou Wu, this person is the one who sank our warship a few days ago, the fifth phase of the Huangpu Military Academy, a native of Beiping, now living in Nanjing, 33 years old, his parents are still alive, married, and have a son."
Yamashita reported Zhou Wu's personal information to Matsui.
"Very good, Yamashita-kun, I didn't expect your information to be so detailed, it's amazing."
Matsui rarely praises his subordinates like this, but recently it was the first time.
"This is thanks to our intelligence networks in Nanjing and Shanghai, especially the Sino-Japanese friendly people in China."
Yamashita was quite modest.
"General, I want to lead a small detachment to the west flank of Luodian to muddy the waters, take the opportunity to get rid of that Zhou Wu, and then use a large-scale attack to open up the west flank of Luodian, eat the 18th Division, and cut off the retreat of the Zhina army."
Yamashita said ruthlessly, he couldn't wait to make meritorious contributions.
"You're not afraid of the 18th Division on the east flank of Luodian coming to the rescue" Matsui, as the supreme commander, considered the problem more comprehensively.
"The general can rest assured that with my research and analysis of the Chinese Army over the years, the 18th Division will definitely not save the Independent Brigade.
Taking a step back, even if the 18th Division wanted to save it, the commander above would not agree, unless the Nanjing side personally ordered it. ” "But even so, they will find ways to delay time and perfunctory, this is the nature of the Chinese people, just keep themselves, and they don't care about the lives of other people at all.
Moreover, the 18th Division was eager for the end of the Independent Brigade, so they could take the opportunity to expand their forces and strengthen themselves. ” Yamashita is very confident in his judgment.
"But I always feel that Zhou Wu of this independent brigade is not simple, he is different from other Chinese officers, I advise Yamashita Jun to think more."
After all, Matsui is an old Jianghu and has experienced more ups and downs than him, so he kindly persuaded him, hoping that he would act cautiously and not be impulsive.
Unexpectedly, this persuasion provoked Yamashita instead, and he had to ask Matsui to send him a squadron.
Matsui was unmoved at first, but in the end, because Yamashita insisted on competing with Zhou Wu, he had to agree to let each division of Yamashita select officers and soldiers with special skills to form a special task force, and he personally ordered when to act.
Matsui is indeed an old fox and thinks very comprehensively.
The fight was early, and the reinforcements behind it were not in place, which was equal to the White Tower, so it was necessary to wait for the reinforcements to be in place before the action could be successful.
The most important thing is that the important personnel in Nanjing must not be allowed to perceive his intentions, once the more than 700,000 Nationalist troops withdraw to the defensive line built by the Germans for them, it will be impossible for another 10 divisions to capture Nanjing, and at that time, he will have to apologize.
After the meeting, Matsui immediately ordered all the Japanese troops on the whole line to retreat back except for a few strategically important points, and suspend the attack on the Chinese army.
According to the reconnaissance report, the devil's troops in the direction of Luodian have retreated, which is a rare quiet on the battlefield of the Chinese and Japanese armies in the past two months.
The Japanese troops took the initiative to retreat, and Zhou Wu encountered it for the first time, with his understanding of the devil, this retreat was not so simple, but what was the purpose of the devil After studying for a long time, everyone couldn't come up with a reason, and the fat man and Li Li agreed that the Japanese army retreated because of the recent attack setback, and the backup was unsustainable for a while, and there was no strength to launch an offensive again in a short time, so they could only retreat temporarily.
The fat man said the truth, Li Li had been obedient to him since he saw the fat man's power that night, and admired him very much, so he also followed the fat man to make peace.
Chief of Staff Ding Ning and Ge Sanmin disagreed, believing that the Japanese army's retreat might be a smoke bomb for greater strategic goals in the future.
Although the Japanese army lost a lot of troops in the Battle of Luodian, it was actually nothing to the two divisions that were invested in the Japanese army in the entire Luodian direction.
If they really withdrew their troops because of too great losses, they could have just withdrawn the troops on the west flank of Luodian, why did they even give up such an important strategic place as Baoshan Zhou Wu felt that Ding Ning's analysis was very reasonable, and when he saw Ding Ning stop, he hurriedly asked: "Then according to the chief of staff, what will the little devil do next?"
"I can't say anything else, here in Luodian, I think we should ask for reinforcements from Shangfeng, at least two divisions.
Relying on our independent brigade and the 18th Division nested in the back will definitely not be able to withstand the all-round, three-dimensional attack of the devils. ” "Of course, there is another possibility, the devil deliberately showed weakness and created an illusion for the chairman that there is hope for a peaceful solution to the war in Shanghai."
"But the little devil has always been insidious, and it is estimated that he wants to make a trick of repairing the plank road and secretly crossing the Chen Cang, if this is the case, then the trouble will be big, and it will not be possible to get more than 700,000 national troops to be put in one pot, and Shanghai and Nanjing will not be protected."
The more Ding Ning talked, the more scared he became, but he was just a small independent brigade chief of staff, who would listen to him on the Shanghai battlefield where there were many generals "What the chief of staff said makes sense, we can't do the things above, we can only try our best to drag the devil in Luodian.
Again, in the battle of Luodian, there are less than 3,000 of the more than 6,000 people left in our independent brigade, and I am about to become the commander of the regiment. ” "Fatty, you and Zhai Daping are guarding the house, the first and third regiments are commanded by Li Li to guard the positions on the west flank and prevent sudden attacks by devils, and Ge Sanmin, your second regiment guards the east flank together with the remnants of the 29th Division."
"The commander of the 29th Division was shot, and the number of the 29th Division will be finished sooner or later.
But you also have to respect them, and if they haven't revoked their numbers, it means that the 29th Division is still there.
Now for us, one more person is one more strength. ” Zhou Wu agrees with Ding Ning's point of view, but he is as humble as Ding Ning, and he can't control the entire battle situation, all he can do is to ask for a few more people and try to drag the devil as much as possible.
Just then, someone outside reported it "Brigade seat, the commander is here, and he has brought a lot of officials."

When Zhou Wu heard this, it was great, he was thinking about going to the military headquarters to ask for someone, but now it's good, he came to the door.
So, he immediately led his officers to run outside to welcome the army commander respectfully, and before the army commander could speak, Zhou Wu made a request for an important person.
Unexpectedly, the commander listened to him and asked, "How much do you want?"
Zhou Wu thought to himself what was going on today, usually as long as he mentioned people's affairs, the army commander either refused to do so, or Gu Zuoyan said to him, and he would get his guard battalion out at every turn, so that he had no temper at all.
"Report to the commander, you only need to make up my independent brigade of 6,000 people."
Zhou Wu is not greedy.
"As long as it's so little," said the commander with a pretended profundity.
Zhou Wu muttered in his heart, could it be that the army commander has a lot of mobile troops in his hands He thought about it carefully, no, several divisions of the army commander are all in Luodian and Baoshan, and the one that can be regarded as a mobile force is his guard battalion, and the guard battalion is only a few hundred people, and it is a fart.
When Zhou Wu's mind was searching for what mobile troops the army commander had at hand, standing next to the army commander, Yu Shiming, the commander of the 101st Division, came up and said: "Brother, congratulations, our army commander has brought you a whole 5,000 people."
What five thousand people Zhou Wu didn't believe it, thinking that Yu Shiming was joking.
But the army commander nodded and said, "What Division Commander Yu said is right, there are five thousand people who have been added to your independent brigade."
The 29th Division did not defend the position on the eastern flank of Luodian effectively, and the division commander escaped from the battle and was shot, and just received a notice from the military headquarters today to cancel the number of the 29th Division and reorganize the remnants of the 29th Division with more than 5,000 people into an independent brigade. ” "In addition, Commander Chen of the Songhu Theater instructed that the Independent Brigade withdraw from the position on the east flank of Luodian and be defended by the 18th Division."
The commander was very unhappy when he announced this order, although the 29th Division was not his subordinate unit, but seeing such an ending of the 29th Division, it was inevitable that he would feel sad about the death of his lips and teeth.
"What, the position on the east flank of Luodian is taken over by the 18th Division, isn't this taking advantage of the fire to rob, what are the brothers of our Independent Brigade and the 29th Division doing when they are desperate with the little devils?"
Zhou Wu's emotions were a little out of control, his face was red with anger, and his two eyes were wide, as if he wanted to eat people.
"Brother, don't talk about it, even the remaining 5,000 people of the 29th Division were also fought by the army commander and Chief Chen.
The commander was also forced to make a military order and guarantee his life, otherwise, you would not be able to get it alone. ” Yu Shiming saw Zhou Wu's bullish temper coming up, and hurriedly explained the situation.
Listening to Yu Shiming's words, Zhou Wu was even more excited, and just wanted to have a seizure, but suddenly saw the helplessness on the old commander's face, held back his anger, and swallowed back the words that had just come to his mouth.
Zhou Wu knew that it was not easy for the army commander, in order to replenish the soldiers of the independent brigade, he actually guaranteed his life and made a military order, and he was still scolding people here, which really shouldn't be.
Thinking of this, Zhou Wu's face gradually returned to normal.
He ordered the secretary of the brigade headquarters to hurry up and prepare some good wine and food to entertain everyone, but the old army commander was not in high spirits, and Zhou Wu had no choice but to give up.
Before leaving, the commander stopped talking, and finally patted him on the shoulder and said, "Zhou Wu, do it yourself." ” After speaking, he sighed heavily, got in the car and left.
Zhou Wu stared blankly at the commander's car, and didn't come back to his senses for a long time, until the chief of staff, Ding Ning, pulled him.
"Brigade, we should go back, Lao Zhai has a situation to report." t1706231537:
