Chapter 737: War Breaks Out Again
The third surprise is the most important!
The Battle of Songhu is about to break out, and although the soldiers of the Axe Gang and the Shenji Battalion have good military literacy and the officers have various command abilities, they are not perfect.
In other words, their combat effectiveness still has a lot of room for improvement.
In order to help them and reduce their casualties, at the request of Wang Yaqiao and Tang Zhengyang, Ye Tian said that he would help them train the troops in all aspects.
For this reason, Ye Tian used another big move.
Without telling the soldiers of the Axe Gang and the Shenji Battalion, Ye Tian released the first and second detachments of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army.
Nearly a hundred dead men, such as Qianchuan Zilang and Sugihara Ichiro, acted as instructors like their master Ye Tian.
Time is tight and the task is heavy.
For this reason, training often works overtime, and every soldier sweats profusely.
Finding that the soldiers' physical fitness is often squeezed to the limit, Ye Tian secretly gave them a surprise.
As a second-level god of war, Ye Tian's total score reached 3126493 points.
The distance to 5 million points, that is, to be promoted to the third-level war god, is getting closer and closer.
As the tide rises, the boat rises, and the storage space has been growing rapidly.
In terms of the speed of time, the storage space is ten times that of the outside world.
Its volume is larger, reaching more than 30,000 cubic meters.
At the edge of the storage space, it is still in a chaotic state and still very dark.
However, looking far away, Ye Tian can vaguely see that there are mountains in the distance.
The spiritual energy of the heaven and earth inside is becoming more and more pure and rich. With a little breath, there is a feeling of refreshment.
The mysterious little tree called Tianmu continues to grow taller and bigger.
Today, Tianmu is about 6 meters high and has eight branches.
On each branch, there are two leaves.
Every day, each leaf will produce some Tianmu Divine Dew.
The leaves can't bear the pressure, and these Tianmu Divine Dew drips on the ground.
Then, along the flushed ditch, the Tianmu Divine Dew gathers in the small lake.
The area and volume of the small lake have also increased, about four square meters, and about two meters deep.
As before, whenever he has time, Ye Tian takes a bath in the small lake.
Of course, when taking a bath, Ye Tian always calls Wei Qiuyan.
From time to time, Ye Tian also asks two beautiful girls, Nakajima Yulan and Nakamura Xingfang, to come together.
Yes, they are responsible for sending and receiving telegrams and taking care of Wei Qiuyan's daily life and diet, which is quite hard.
In addition, they are loyal, so Ye Tian doesn't mind giving them surprises.
In addition to taking a bath in the small lake, Wei Qiuyan and Ye Tian also use the drinking water from the small lake.
Whether taking a bath or drinking this water, it can greatly improve physical fitness.
To be precise, it is to wash the essence and marrow!
The surprise that Ye Tian gave to the Axe Gang and the Shenjiying was actually the Tianmu Shenlu.
Before every meal, Ye Tian always used the excuse of checking the food to secretly pour some Tianmu Shenlu at the water source.
In this way, the soldiers' physical fitness was greatly improved without knowing it.
Naturally, despite the numerous training subjects and the hard work, they can always bear it.
Compared with Wang Yaqiao, Tang Zhengyang knows more because he is the descendant of Guiguzi, a man of all ages and proficient in all schools of thought.
Tang Zhengyang found that the physical fitness of his subordinates, including himself, was improving rapidly. He knew that this was all due to Ye Tian.
Like Wang Yaqiao, Tang Zhengyang also believed that Ye Tian had an unknown opportunity.
Tang Zhengyang was very good at dealing with things. Like Wang Yaqiao, he did not throw questions to Ye Tian.
In the minds of Tang Zhengyang and Wang Yaqiao, Ye Tian was very mysterious and could only befriended, not offended.
Most importantly, it was best not to ask about his secrets.
...
In this way, the time came to August 12, 1937.
Starting tomorrow, the first large-scale battle in the all-out war of resistance, the Battle of Songhu, also known as the Battle of August 13, will start!
This is the largest and most brutal battle in the 14-year War of Resistance against Japan.
In fact, because he was familiar with the context of the history of the War of Resistance, Ye Tian knew that at this moment, Shanghai had become a powder keg.
After the Marco Polo Bridge Incident, the situation in Shanghai became increasingly tense.
In accordance with the grand strategy of the first military god Jiang Baili, Jiang Jieshi had already begun to deploy troops.
The purpose was very simple, which was to lure the main force of the devils to the vicinity of Shanghai.
Historically, the reason why the Song Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty were destroyed was that foreign enemies came all the way from north to south, and they could not withstand the powerful enemy cavalry.
In order to achieve this strategic goal and avoid repeating the mistakes of the Song and Ming Dynasties, under the order of Jiang Jieshi, the elite troops of China took the initiative to strengthen the national defense construction and armed forces in the Songhu area.
In mid-July, in the area near Shanghai, the absolutely elite 87th Division Wang Jingjiu and the 88th Division Sun Yuanliang had assembled.
These two divisions were the first troops to prepare to attack Shanghai. Their predecessors were the government's guard troops.
Today, these two divisions have been personally trained by German advisers and are equipped with full-standard German equipment.
There is no doubt that they are the elite troops in the Chinese army.
It is not an exaggeration to say that they are the elite among the elite.
In addition to these two elite divisions, the well-equipped Second Division Supplementary Brigade also moved from Henan Province to Suzhou.
These troops are under the command of General Zhang Zhizhong, the commander of the Beijing-Shanghai Garrison.
However, due to the restrictions of the 1932 "Songhu Armistice Agreement", the Chinese regular army is not qualified to be stationed in the urban area of Shanghai.
Although two security groups with extremely poor combat effectiveness and some police officers who maintain public order are staying in Shanghai, their strength is very weak.
To put it bluntly, Shanghai is an undefended city.
On the other hand, the island country stationed heavy troops in Hongkou and Yangshupu areas of Shanghai after the first Battle of Songhu.
In addition, the island country also established the Shanghai Marine Corps Command in Shanghai.
It has more than 3,000 marines under its jurisdiction, and a large number of ships are still appearing along the Yangtze River and Huangpu River all year round.
Considering that the strength of the troops stationed in Shanghai is too weak to bear the heavy responsibility of fighting the devils, General Zhang Zhizhong decided to make a big move.
Zhang Zhizhong suggested to Chiang Kai-shek that regular troops should be disguised as security guards and stationed at Hongqiao Airport as soon as possible.
In this way, when the battle started, the devils would not be able to seize these strategic locations.
In fact, Jiang Jieshi had long been disgusted with the devils.
It must be mentioned that in order to retaliate against the invasion of China by the island country, Jiang Jieshi has been sleeping on straw and tasting gall.
For this reason, many people who did not know the truth blamed him for not sending troops to the island country and accused him in various ways.
In the famous "Jiang Jieshi Diary", it is fully explained that Jiang Jieshi has been under a mountain of pressure in the past few years.
After receiving Zhang Zhizhong's request, Jiang Jieshi signed the military order of approval without hesitation!
Under the orders of the Military Commission and Zhang Zhizhong, the Second Regiment of the Second Division Supplementary Brigade entered the role.
They changed into the uniforms of the Shanghai Security Team and secretly stationed at strategic points such as Hongqiao Airport.
Coincidentally, when the Second Regiment just arrived at the designated location, it encountered a strange thing.
