Chapter 3 Command Power
The battlefield was cleaned soon, and He Ajiu came over and said to Zhong Yi: "Brother, there is no movement in the other artillery positions, so nothing will happen, right?"
"There is good news without any movement." Zhong Yi said, "It means that the Japanese are not equipped with enough manpower, and only this wave has come! They are planning to take down the artillery position of Snake King Hall and then go elsewhere!"
He Ajiu smiled and said, "As a result, he kicked the iron plate for the first time, causing an outbreak of the entire army!"
"Don't be too happy too early," Zhong Yi said, "Even if your team is unscathed, even if you save the six Bufus mountain cannons of the artillery company, it will have no effect on the overall situation!"
He Ajiu's face immediately collapsed and he said, "Yes, facing the Japanese giant ships and cannons and hundreds of thousands of heavy troops, our Random Forces have such a few people and several mountain cannons from the Mountain Cannon Company, it's useless."
Zhong Yi changed his tone and said, "But there is no need to be pessimistic. Just by ours, plus a few mountain cannons, it is certainly impossible to stop the Japanese from landing in Jinshanwei, but if you stick to it for about two days, you still have a chance!"
"What?!" He Ajiu opened his eyes wide and looked at Zhong Yi like an idiot.
After a while, He Ajiu swallowed his saliva and asked in a low voice: "Brother, do you know what you were talking about just now?"
Zhong Yi nodded and said in a deep voice: "I said, we have the opportunity to defend Jinshan Guardian Haigong for about two days!"
"Don't joke!" He Ajiu shouted, "If the Japanese really plan to land in Jinshanwei, they will not kill hundreds or thousands of people, but tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people! Not to mention that there will be a large number of warships, aircraft and cannons. With our few manpower, these cannons will still be held on for two days?"
After a pause, He Ajiu said again: "I'm afraid I can't hold on for a long time!"
He Ajiu's judgment is basically consistent with historical facts. In the Battle of Kingsoft Guard, the small number of left-behind national and local troops really didn't even defend it for a long time.
After another blow, He Ajiu said again: "Do you know the Central Military Academy Teaching Corps? The Imperial Army among the Imperial Army is the most powerful force in China. What's the result? It was less than three days after being pulled to the Songhu battlefield, and the Japanese were crippled! Also, it is said that the Gui army can fight, and the Seventh Army is even known as the Steel Army. So what's the result?"
Zhong Yi naturally knew about the Seventh Army of the Guangxi clan and pretended not to know what to do, "How is it?"
"Four hours!" He Ajiu stretched out four fingers and said hissing, "It's less than four hours before he pulled the battlefield, and the Japanese were beaten up! Even the brigade commander died four!"
After pausing, He Ajiu said again: "A whole division of the Central Military Academy's teaching corps only lasted for three days, and the Seventh Army of the Guangxi Division lasted for less than four hours. Now there is only half a battalion of Jinshan Guard, but you say you can last for two days? Brother, are you sure you are not talking nonsense?"
Zhong Yi said: "I'm sure we can hold the Kingsoft Guard for two days!"
Zhong Yi said it firmly, revealing an unquestionable meaning.
He Ajiu was stunned. Perhaps, what is the best student at West Point Military Academy really responsible for this?
After a pause, Zhong Yi said again: "However, if you want to achieve this goal, you still have to have a prerequisite!"
"Preparation?" He Ajiu said in a daze, "What prerequisite?"
Zhong Yi said: "I have to command the battle to defend Kingsoft Defense!"
This is the only opportunity, because only Zhong Yi has systematically learned the theory of landing war on the beach, and only Zhong Yi can infinitely amplify the Japanese's shortcomings of lack of landing experience on the beach!
"You will command?" He Ajiu shook his head, "Prince Long may not agree."
"So you have to do me a favor." Zhong Yi said, "Help me convince Wang Zilong!"
"Okay." He Ajiu said, "I can help you, but it's different to say whether I can succeed or not."
Zhong Yi said: "No need to delay, let's go to Caojing now!"
The two of them left the Snake King Hall and boarded the rickshaw and headed straight for Caojing.
Wang Zilong's battalion was located in Caojing. When Zhong Yi and He Ajiu arrived, Wang Zilong was asking the guards of the battalion to pack up and prepare to leave here.
"Captain Zhong."
"Captain He!"
Seeing Zhong Yi, Wang Zilong just nodded slightly, his expression with the arrogance and alienation unique to the Whampoa officer's student. However, when facing Ho Ajiu, Wang Zilong saluted a military salute.
He Ajiu is also a student of Huangpu and Wang Zilong's senior brother.
"Captain Wang, are you leaving?" Zhong Yi asked.
Prince Long nodded lightly and said, "I just received the order to go up to the peak, so let us rush to Pudong to help."
Zhong Yi frowned and said, "You Central Army is gone, what should you do if the coastal defense of Jinshanwei is done?"
Wang Zilong said: "The Jinshan Guardian Hai Dao will be taken over by your security team until the 63rd Division comes to take over the defense!"
He Ajiu said: "When will the 63rd Division arrive?"
Wang Zilong said: "It will take about three to five days."
"That won't happen." He Ajiu became anxious and said again, "The Japanese may land in the Jinshan Guard tomorrow!"
"Captain He, what did you say just now?" Wang Zilong said in a deep voice, "The Japanese may land in Jinshan Guard tomorrow? Where did you get the news?"
He Ajiu said: "Just an hour ago, our Rangers were almost poisoned by the Japanese spies at the Haiyue Temple station. Half an hour ago, Snake King Tang Village was also attacked by the Japanese spies who pretended to be Rangers. If the Rangers hadn't been prepared for the long-term defense, the artillery position located in Snake King Tang would have been completed!"
After pausing, He Ajiu continued, "Brother Wang, what do you think this means?"
Prince Long said sternly: "Captain He, what you said is true?"
Ho Ajiu said: "What am I lying to you?"
"So, the Japanese may really have to land in Jinshan Guard!" Wang Zilong's face suddenly subsided, and he said, "It's a big trouble now. Now the entire Jinshan Guard is only half a battalion of our 62nd Division. With your Rangers, the rest are the security team and Minzhuang, which is not useful at all!"
Hearing this, the expression on He Ajiu's face became a little embarrassed.
Did you stand in front of you without seeing the captain of Kingsoft Security Zhong Yi?
Zhong Yi said: "Battleman Commander Wang, the combat effectiveness of the security team and Minzhuang is indeed not as good as that of the Central Army, but if used properly, it can also play an important role!"
Prince Long said without comment: "Captain Zhong, the battle is imminent, go back and prepare!"
"Of course I have to go back and prepare." Zhong Yi nodded and said, "But before that, I want to reach an agreement with Battalion Commander Wang on the command authority of the Jinshan Guard Defense Battle!"
When Wang Zilong heard this, he was stunned for a while before he reacted and said in disbelief: "Captain Zhong, what I mean by what you mean is that I want to take over the command of Kingsoft Guard?"
Zhong Yi said without hesitation: "Yes! I hope that the Battle of Kingsoft Defense will be directed by me!"
To be honest, Zhong Yi doesn’t want to be so high-profile, but the problem is that he has no time to give in!
Zhong Yi also considered serving as a staff officer for Wang Zilong, but he was sure that Wang Zilong could not listen to him!
Wang Zilong was suddenly filled with anger. A mere security captain dared to ask him, the battalion commander who graduated from Whampoa Military Academy? Don't be crazy, shouldn't this guy?
At that moment, Wang Zilong said, "Captain Zhong, go, I can pretend that you have never said anything!"
Zhong Yi frowned and said in a deep voice: "Battleman Wang, I am serious, so I also hope that you can seriously consider my suggestions and hand over the command of the Kingsoft Defense Battle to me!"
"You're not finished yet, right?" Wang Zilong finally became angry and roared.
"Brother Wang, calm down, calm down." He Ajiu hurried forward and persuaded.
"It seems that the words alone cannot convince Battalion Commander Wang." Zhong Yi nodded and said, "Then, let's see the matter on the sand table!"
"Sand table?" Wang Zilong said sneered, "Are you a security captain, do you know how to deduce sand tables?"
Zhong Yi didn't say much, walked straight to the sand table of the battalion headquarters and said, "Battlefield Commander Wang, I would like to ask, what will you do if the Japanese used two divisions to land on the Jinshan Guard?"
Wang Zilong frowned and said, "What else can I do? Of course, I will put it on the seawall and guard it strictly!"
"Then you're dead!" Zhong Yi said in a deep voice, "According to your fighting style, with the current troops of Jinshan Guard, it will only last half an hour at most. After half an hour, the beachhead position will be lost, and in two hours, Jinshan County will be lost. In four hours, hundreds of villages of the entire Jinshan Guard will be lost under the iron hoof of the Japanese invaders!"
Prince Long said coldly: "Captain Zhong, I wonder how long you can stay?"
Zhong Yi said confidently: "I'm here to guard it, I dare not say that it's okay to keep it for two days!"
Wang Zilong said sneered: "Can you defend Jinshan Guardian Sea Defense for at least two days under the fierce attack of the two Japanese divisions? What a toad that yawned so hard!"
"Don't Battalion Commander Wang believe it?" Zhong Yi said, "Then let's see the secret on the sand table!"
After being agitated by Zhong Yi, Wang Zilong finally got angry and said angrily: "Okay, I want to see what tricks you have!"
After saying that, Wang Zilong asked the battalion guards to disassemble the packaged war chess and reposition them on the sand table.
...
At the same time, outside the sea of Hangzhou Bay.
The hundreds of warships and merchant ships of the Japanese Navy's Fourth Fleet have already gathered together and are waiting to be sent to Kingsoft Guard!
In the captain's office of the Ashita cruiser, the commander of the 10th Army, Heisuke Yanagawa, was playing chess with Chief of Staff Moetake Tanabe.
Tanabe Moritake held a chess piece and said, "Commander, from the perspective of time, Major Yamagata should have dealt with the Fuxing Rangers of Haiyue's Revival Team. Why is there no news yet?"
Yanagawa Heisuke said: "No accident, it must be a mistake."
Tanabe Moritake said again: "If Major Yamagata fails, Major Kono's surprise attack will be very rare!"
