Chapter 24 Preparation
The news of the 10th Army's failure at the Kinshanwei Beach was soon passed back to Tokyo. Although it was only a temporary defeat, it still scared a group of senior staff members from the Japanese General Staff Headquarters in Tokyo in a cold sweat!
Especially the head of the combat guidance section, Toshiro Kawabata, was even more scared!
After receiving the telegram, Toshiro Kawabian came straight to the office of the Minister of Operations Department Tadashi Shimomura.
"Mr. Minister, I've messed up!" As soon as Kawabian Tsushiro entered the door, he said anxiously, "The 10th Army has messed up!"
When Shimomura heard this, he felt a little nervous, but he still pretended to be calm and said, "Hi Bianjun, please tell me slowly, what happened?"
Hushiro, Kawabang, took a breath, tried his best to suppress the panic in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "The 10th Army failed to successfully grab the beach at Jinshanwei today, and also lost nearly one regiment's troops and equipment!"
"Ah?" Shimomura Tada immediately became uneasy when he heard this and shouted in dismay, "How could this happen?"
After pausing, Takashi Shimura said again: "Did it be that the information is wrong? The Jinshan Guard Guard Guard has more than half a battalion? Could it be that the main force of the 62nd Division has not left the Jinshan Guard? Even if the main force of the 62nd Division has not left, he would not have lost so badly, right?"
"The information is right, Jinshan Guard has only half a battalion of the 62nd Division!" Shimomura said with a shake of his head.
"What did you say? The information is correct?" Shimomura Tatsugu said furiously, "What's going on? Are Yanagawa Heisuke and Tanabe Moritake all pigs? You can't even win such a battle with hand-held hands?"
Tsushiro Kawabian smiled bitterly and said, "Mr. Minister, please read the battle report first."
Shimomura Takashiro took the battle report from Tsushiro Kawabian, and immediately fell silent after reading it in a hurry.
Shimomura Taki was able to become the Minister of the Operations Department of the General Staff Headquarters, and his military literacy was definitely unspeakable. He could see at a glance that if the war report was true, it would be possible to defeat the 10th Army's robbery with half of the battalion!
"I really didn't expect it!" Shimomura Tatsugu said in a deep voice, "There will be the commander of the Chinese army who understands the principle of concentrating on using firepower, and can also combine it with the terrain! In addition, Yanagawa Heisuke and Tanabe Moritake are so careless, it is reasonable that the first day of landing on the beach would end in failure!"
Tsushiro, a riverside, said: "This is indeed surprising!"
Tadashi Shimura said again: "But fortunately, there is still time! As long as the 10th Army can successfully grab the beach before tomorrow evening, there will still be a chance to cut off the Shanghai-Hangzhou Highway, the Shanghai-Nanjing Highway and the Shanghai-Nanjing Railway within five days, and there will still be a chance to cooperate with the Shanghai condemnation army to wipe out the main force of the 700,000 Chinese troops in the Songhu battlefield!"
Hu Siro by the river said: "In this case, there will be no more accidents in the Jinshanwei!"
"Yes!" Shimomura nodded and said, "Contact the Navy immediately and request the Third Fleet to immediately allocate the First United Airlines Fleet to the Tenth Army. In any case, we must ensure that tomorrow's beach landing will be successful!"
"Hayi!" Hushiro, the riverside, paused his head.
...
Kingsoft Guard, Acropolis.
Jinshanwei is an acropolis, not a county town!
Zhong Yi has already brought the remaining regiments of the security team back to the acropolis station.
Because of the great casualties, the security team members were a little dejected.
Liang Feng said with a bitter face: "Captain, when will we have to guard?"
Zhong Yi asked without answering, "When do you think we can stay?"
"I think, as soon as tomorrow dawns tomorrow, the beachhead will definitely be lost!" Liang Feng said this and said, "Captain, otherwise let's retreat quickly!"
"Retreat?" Zhong Yi said, "Where to withdraw?"
"It's OK anywhere!" Liang Feng said, "Just don't stay in Jinshanwei anyway!"
"We have retreated, where are the common people?" Zhong Yi said, "What should they do?"
"At worst, I can retreat with us!" Liang Feng said, "Let's go together, let's go!"
"Bring the people with you?" Zhong Yi said, "How fast can you go? What if the Japanese catch up?"
Liang Feng was stunned when he heard this. Although he was just a small team leader of the security team, his inner conscience made him unable to say anything like throwing away the common people and running away!
"So escaping can only be a dead end!" Zhong Yi said.
"But if you continue to fight, you will be a dead end!" Liang Feng said.
Zhong Yi said: "Who told you that if you continue fighting, it would be a dead end? Who said that?"
"Is this necessary to say?" Liang Feng said angrily, "Isn't this obvious?"
"Why is this obvious?" Zhong Yi said, "Why didn't I see it?"
Liang Feng said: "Yes, the Japanese were knocked back today, but our security team and salt police anti-smuggling team have almost all fought. Tomorrow, there will be no other security team or another salt police to protect the two wings. With the Central Army and the Revival Society Ranking Movement, can we still defend the coastline of Jinshan Guard for more than ten miles long?"
Zhong Yi said: "The security team and the salt police anti-smuggling team have fought all over, and there is still Minzhuang!"
"What, Min Zhuang?" Liang Feng said dumbfounded, "Captain, what are you saying, Min Zhuang?"
"That's right, the people are strong!" Zhong Yi pointed his head and said, "There are more than 5,000 people are strong in Jinshan Guard, and you can fight with the Japanese!"
"Captain, what are you kidding!" Liang Feng jumped up like a kitten with his tail stepped on and shouted in dismay, "You asked Minzhuang to fight against the Japanese? What's the difference between this and asking them to die?"
Zhong Yi said: "Don't worry about this, hurry up and notify Minzhuang to gather!"
"Captain, are you sure you want to do this?" Liang Feng said.
Zhong Yi said: "Liang Feng, execute the order!"
Liang Feng was so shocked that he could only turn around and go.
Taking advantage of the slightest period when Liang Feng was summoning Minzhuang, Zhong Yi asked the security team's team to rest on the spot, but he quietly came to Jinshanwei's primary school alone and knocked on the school gate.
The school gate creaked and opened a slit, and a middle-aged man wearing glasses showed his body.
Zhong Yi's eyes fell on this inconspicuous middle-aged man. From the memory of the original owner of this body, he could know that this middle-aged man was the principal of Jinshanwei Primary School, an underground member of the Communist Party of China, and his superior!
"Old He!" Zhong Yi said in a deep voice, "Why haven't you evacuated yet? Jinshanwei is about to fall!"
"You don't have to worry about my business!" Teacher He shook his head and said, "It's you, I have something to tell you!"
After pausing, Teacher He said again: "The situation in Jinshanwei is very dangerous now. No one knows whether you and I can survive tomorrow. If you can survive, someone will naturally come to contact you. I have told you the code of the contact. You must remember it clearly. If no one contacts you, you must not take the initiative to find the organization!"
"Why?" Zhong Yi frowned, "Why can't you take the initiative to find an organization?"
