Chapter 861 Zhou Zhirou's Suggestion (Thanks to Black Celery for the Reward)
"Principal, I am General Xia Chuzhong, and I have good news for you."
"In order to cover the safe retreat of our 76th Division, 108th Division, and the 5th Reserve Division, our 98th Division is responsible for blocking the Shigeto Detachment and Li Qingshan Brigade!"
In fact, Jiang Jieshi and his men had known about this news for a long time.
Before this, Xia Chuzhong had sent a farewell telegram to Jiang Jieshi.
In the farewell telegram, Xia Chuzhong had detailed the deployment of troops on both sides.
Jiang Jieshi and his men frowned slightly when they found that Xia Chuzhong had mentioned the old things again.
However, realizing that there was something else, they all continued to prick up their ears.
Naturally, Wang Shihe continued to read.
"While our troops were desperately blocking, the pseudo-Iron Stone Independent Detachment, a total of 2,200 traitors, also joined the battlefield!"
Everyone was shocked when they heard this.
It must be said that when the island country established this unit, it made a lot of noise because it had to select suitable candidates from countless traitors.
Naturally, this military intelligence was known by the Chinese side.
Of course, the idea of the island country to establish the Tieshi Independent Detachment was also known to China.
This unit was established to annihilate the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army.
The most important thing is that the combat effectiveness of this traitor unit is very strong:
The selection of soldiers is one in a hundred;
The equipment of weapons is even more enviable for most Japanese troops. The whole army is equipped with submachine guns, which is an example;
This is not all. Once the whereabouts of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army are discovered, the Tieshi Independent Detachment has the right to coordinate all nearby troops, including the Army Aviation and the Navy Aviation!
In fact, Jiang Jieshi and others also know a piece of news.
In other words, the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army is on the scene and is responsible for rescuing the 98th Division!
To be precise, the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army is responsible for rescuing high-level personnel such as Xia Chuzhong.
Yes, the difference in the strength of the enemy and us is huge. It is a pleasant surprise to be able to rescue Xia Chuzhong and others.
Jiang Jieshi and his men did not have much hope of rescuing the remaining thousands of soldiers of the 98th Division.
If the Tieshi Independent Detachment was not there, the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army might be able to complete the task at the cost of certain casualties.
However, looking at Wang Shihe's jubilant look, it seems that the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army has exceeded its task.
The question is, what happened in the meantime?
While Jiang Jieshi and his men were distracted, Wang Shihe continued to read the telegram.
"At the critical moment, the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army arrived at the scene!"
"As soon as they arrived, they immediately took over the initiative and immediately destroyed the Shigeto Detachment's Mountain Artillery Regiment and the First Artillery Regiment!"
"With the efforts of ten 88mm anti-aircraft guns, 10 quadruple anti-aircraft machine guns, and dozens of MG34 general-purpose machine guns, the traitor infantry are suffering heavy casualties!"
"I believe that it will not be long before we will be able to achieve the final victory!"
"..."
The telegram was not very long, only a few hundred words.
Naturally, Wang Shihe read it once, which took only a few minutes.
However, because the amount of information was too much, Jiang Jieshi and the others were stunned when they heard it.
One by one, they were all in a petrified state.
The mountain artillery regiment and the first artillery regiment of the Shigeto Detachment were destroyed by the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army! ?
You know, these two artillery regiments both have 36 cannons!
The most important thing is that around these two positions, there is at least one battalion of infantry protection forces with more than 1,100 traitors.
Under normal circumstances, to deal with such an artillery regiment, China must dispatch at least 5,000 troops!
Unexpectedly, before anything happened, the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army easily defeated them.
If the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army's combat effectiveness is not strong, which unit's combat effectiveness can be called strong? !
These two artillery regiments were destroyed, and now the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army is in the mode of ending the battle! ?
Not only can it rescue senior officers such as Xia Chuzhong, but it can also annihilate the Shigeto Detachment, Li Qingshan Brigade, and Tieshi Independent Detachment! ?
"Huh..."
Thinking of these beautiful prospects, Jiang Jieshi was overwhelmed with emotions.
At the same time, the other generals were also like this.
"Good! Good! Good!!"
After reacting, Jiang Jieshi said three good words in a row.
Naturally, the rhythm of other generals was driven by Jiang Jieshi.
"We won!"
"Good job, Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army!"
"Really awesome!"
"..."
Take a deep breath again, Jiang Jieshi pondered: "If nothing unexpected happens, it won't be long before the Shanghai Expeditionary Force, the Tenth Army, and the Third Fleet of the island country will send out aircraft to bomb!"
A word awakened the dreamer!
Hearing this, Chen Cheng and others did not dare to neglect it, and quickly pricked up their ears and waited for Jiang Jieshi's order.
"At that time, the island country's army and navy aviation will definitely carry out indiscriminate bombing!"
"In this way, the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army and the 98th Division are in danger!"
"Therefore, I order the main force of the Chinese Air Force to attack again..."
Before Jiang Jieshi finished speaking, He Yingqin took over the conversation.
"Chairman, the number of our Chinese aircraft suffered too much loss in the Battle of Songhu. If we let them fight again..."
At this point, He Yingqin did not say anything more.
In fact, what He Yingqin said was the truth.
In fact, in addition to losing many aircraft, China also lost many excellent pilots.
After losing aircraft, it costs a huge amount of money to buy them from abroad.
Compared with aircraft, pilots are actually more valuable.
Every time a pilot is trained, no matter in which country, it is very time-consuming and laborious, and it can consume countless resources.
As soon as He Yingqin finished speaking, after looking at each other for a while, the generals began to whisper.
At this time, Zhou Zhirou, the actual person in charge of the Air Force, stood up.
"Principal, colleagues, sending aircraft to fight and reducing losses as much as possible is very feasible!"
Hearing this, everyone looked at Zhou Zhirou.
Naturally, Zhou Zhirou became the focus of everyone's attention.
Smiling, Jiang Jieshi said to Zhou Zhirou: "Oh, just tell me?"
Nodding heavily, Zhou Zhirou said: "Today the clouds are very high and thick. What I mean is very simple, that is, let our planes set off first and hide in the clouds."
"When the time comes, that is, when the planes of the island countries come, we will launch a surprise attack!"
"With the intention to deal with the unexpected, I am convinced that their performance will not disappoint everyone."
Finding that no one objected, Zhou Zhirou added another sentence.
"What I mean is that our planes must not fight to the death!"
"That is to say, after dispersing the Japanese planes, our planes must fly back quickly!"
"The most important thing is that we must immediately notify the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army and the 98th Division to quickly disperse and evacuate after the battle!"
Zhou Zhirou's meaning is very simple. After the infantry disperses and evacuates, no matter how hard the Japanese planes try, they will not gain much.
Considering Zhou Zhirou's suggestion, it is very feasible, so no one objects.
Naturally, the Supreme Command began to make careful arrangements.
…
The Chinese Supreme Command cheered, but at the same time, the Tieshi Independent Detachment was extremely depressed.
The situation was very clear. If it continued like this, the Tieshi Independent Detachment would definitely be wiped out!
In the words of the Chinese, it would mean death before success.
Naturally, Mayu Kameda was very reluctant to accept this outcome.
