Matsui Iwane's luck

In the headquarters of the Central China Front Army in Nanjing, after receiving the farewell telegram from Hai'an County from the 17th Field Division, General Matsui Iwane, who was originally full of confidence in his future and this decisive battle, immediately showed his face.

He had a look of despair, and then fell into deep contemplation.

Twenty thousand elites, a whole field division of the elite imperial army, under the siege of 30,000 people from the East China Field Army, only persisted for less than a few hours before the entire army was destroyed. This was unprecedented in the entire history of imperial army battles.

Something that had never happened, now happened to me. Thinking of this and the possible consequences after this matter was announced, General Matsui Iwane even wanted to die at this moment.

However, listening to the faint sound of calling for artillery outside the city, I thought that the anxious war in front of me was not over yet. If one mistake was made, more soldiers of the Yellow Army would die in this battle. I felt that

After the battle, General Matsui Iwane, who might be embarrassed in the entire military world, had to cheer up, suppress the dissatisfaction and anger in his heart, and continue to command the troops to fight...

But at this moment, what he didn't know was that with the bad news of the destruction of the 17th Division, it was not just the 17th Field Division that he had placed high hopes on, intending to deliver a fatal blow to the field armies in East China, but also the 17th Field Division.

Under Chen Geng's blow, it was quickly destroyed and became history. More importantly, the only heavy artillery brigade of the Central China Front Army, which he was extremely relieved and relied on very much, and had always been regarded as a treasure, had also fallen into the hands of the East China Field Army. And he

The opponent was preparing to use the newly captured heavy artillery brigade to deal a devastating artillery blow to himself.

Of course, at this time, General Matsui Iwane had already focused his mind entirely on the battle in front of him. After thinking briefly about the battle map in front of him, General Matsui Iwane first spoke to the chief of staff beside him.

This broke the solemn atmosphere within the headquarters caused by the news that the entire 17th Division had been destroyed.

"Tanaka-kun, the 17th Division was completely destroyed under the conspiracy of the Japanese. This news is a very heavy blow to us now. However, as the supreme commander of hundreds of thousands of troops,

Officer, we have to face this cruel fact. Because outside the city, in Taizhou and Yangzhou, there are hundreds of thousands of imperial warriors fighting very brave battles with the cunning Japanese. So,

As the supreme commander, I ask you to cheer up immediately and think about countermeasures with me to rescue these hundreds of thousands of imperial warriors..."

"Ha Yi, thank you Commander for your teaching. I understand your humble position..."

Seeing in front of him, a look of confidence slowly appeared on the face of Chief of Staff Lieutenant General Tanaka. Matsui Iwane nodded with satisfaction, and then continued to speak.

"Tanaka-kun, the destruction of the 17th Division means that we will no longer receive any foreign aid in a short period of time. Therefore, we can only rely on ourselves for the next battle. What do you think we should do next?

?”

"I thought that the cunning Japanese, after annihilating our 17th Field Division and eliminating the threat from their rear, would use all their strength to attack our defenders. However, after two days of fighting,

Look, although the Japanese offensive was very fierce, the Japanese did not use any heavy artillery during the entire siege battle. Therefore, I judge that the Japanese did not have any siege weapons at all.

Artillery, no matter how high the price they pay, it is impossible to capture the three cities where our imperial army is stationed..." Lieutenant General Tanaka said with great certainty, facing the map in front of him.

"Yo Xi, I think so too. Therefore, I think that according to the Japanese's usual fighting style, after achieving the result of annihilating our 17th Field Division, it won't be long before they taste the sweetness.

We will take the initiative to withdraw our troops..." General Matsui Iwane replied with great agreement.

"So, Commander, what should we do next?" Lieutenant General Tanaka followed closely and asked.

"Order the city defense troops in various places to hold their positions and block the Japanese offensive. Now, what we need to do is to defend these cities. Then, relying on the existing strength of our Central China Front Army, in the shortest possible time,

Make up for the losses of the troops, and finally find an opportunity to have a showdown with the cunning Japanese..." General Matsui Iwane ordered very decisively.

"Ha Yi, your Excellency, Commander, is a wise man. He is humble enough to go and give the order right away..."

Things turned out just as Matsui Iwane imagined. Less than an hour after his order was issued, the East China Field Army outside the three cities stopped attacking...

"Your Excellency, Commander, as expected, the Japanese have stopped attacking... However, the Japanese did not retreat. Instead, they surrounded our three cities of Nanjing, Yangzhou, and Taizhou.

The water is blocked..."

"Nani, surround us. What do the *** people want to do? Do they want to trap us to death... It's impossible. In these three cities, we have hoarded a large amount of ammunition and supplies. Even if there is no supply,

Under such circumstances, we can hold on for at least three months. Three months, three months is enough for me to dispatch three divisions from the front line to return reinforcements. I believe that our opponents must understand this fact.

.So, there must be some conspiracy..." General Matsui Iwane asked with a puzzled look on the deployment of the East China Field Army.

"Please forgive me for being stupid and stupid. I don't know much either..."

"In this case, we will wait and see what happens. Order all the city defense troops to seize the time to strengthen the city defenses. At the same time, immediately send a telegram to the front-line enemy headquarters, requesting the front-line enemy headquarters to dispatch at least two field divisions and return.

Aid the southern Jiangsu region. I hope we can successfully overcome this difficulty and defend these three cities..." General Matsui Iwane, who really couldn't think of any reason, ordered with a certain sense of luck, with a trace of luck.

For two days, for two whole days, the enemy and our armies, hundreds of thousands of troops, faced each other centered on three cities, without any movement. Faced with the situation before him, General Matsui Iwane, as the commander, felt lucky in his heart

Psychologically, as time goes on, it becomes more and more intense...

And in just these two days, after two nights of rapid marches, coupled with train transportation, the guard column, including two regiments of the special operations division, transporting more than a hundred large-caliber artillery, finally arrived.

Hai'an County. Of course, Commander-in-Chief Liu Hua, who was marching at cavalry speed, including thousands of gunners from the artillery column, had already arrived at Hai'an County one step ahead...

"Report to the commander-in-chief, the guard column, and the special operations division have successfully completed their mission... Behind us are all the heavy artillery captured in this battle..." In front of the commander-in-chief Liu Hua, the commander of the guard column Bruce Lee reported excitedly

road.

"I have seen your battle report. They are indeed the two most elite units of our East China Field Army. You have done a good job. When I look back, I will personally go to the Central Committee and ask for your credit..." Seeing in front of me, through the temper of the war

, the two beloved generals who are becoming more and more mature, Liu Hua nodded with satisfaction.

Immediately, he turned his gaze to his side. A pair of eyes had already been fixed on the artillery column commander Chen Guangrong, who was not far away from the large-caliber artillery. Then, he spoke with a smile on his face.

"Commander Chen, I have put the artillery in your hands. As for whether your artillery column can exert its best combat effectiveness in the shortest time, it depends on the abilities of you and your gunners..."

"Commander, with these artillery pieces, the artillery column can form six heavy artillery regiments. Here I promise you that six artillery regiments will be able to form combat effectiveness in the shortest possible time..." I haven't touched it for several months.

Chen Guangrong, who had passed such large-caliber artillery, saw the artillery with a caliber of 150 mm in front of him. He could no longer suppress the excitement in his heart and said to the commander-in-chief beside him with a confident expression.

Of course, at this moment, Liu Hua, who was eager to get artillery troops to participate in the next battle, was not particularly satisfied with Chen Guangrong's answer. He continued to ask.

"How long will it take for your artillery column to be able to form combat effectiveness..."

"A week...Commander-in-Chief, these artillerymen have gone through some training in the base area. As long as you give me a week to let everyone get familiar with the guys in my hands, I can guarantee that they will become qualified artillerymen...

." Chen Guangrong replied confidently, his eyes never leaving the artillery in front of him.

However, what surprised him was that just as he finished speaking, the commander-in-chief beside him refused without hesitation.

"No...I will give you one day at most. After one day, these artillery must participate in the battle..."

"Ah...it's only one day, but..." Just when Chen Guangrong wanted to continue to say something, he saw the increasingly ugly face of Commander-in-Chief Liu Hua beside him, and immediately closed his mouth, and then,

He nodded and said.

"Okay...Commander-in-Chief, in one day, I can only guarantee that three regiments can participate in the battle... As for the remaining three regiments, we can guarantee that they will not miss their target during the battle. However, if we want to fight with the Japanese

It is absolutely impossible for artillery to engage in crossfire..."

"Three regiments are enough... In this case, Commander Chen, I now order you to bring all the artillery and artillery shells, and with the assistance of the guard column, quickly approach Taizhou City. In two days, within two days, we must rush

Go outside Taizhou City. This time, our first target is Taizhou City..." Liu Hua ordered.

"Yes, Commander-in-Chief..."
