Chapter 690 Propaganda Offensive
Datong, the 36th Army Command.
Comrade Zuo Qingquan, Chief of Staff, is reporting to Zhang Yunfei on the frontline situation.
"Commander-in-Chief! The front-line troops sent a series of telegrams one after another. The three columns that we attacked Nanjing have reached the front line of the Laoshan Mountains. The 8th Column of the Eastern Route Army has reached the east side of the Laoshan Mountains. The 9th Column of the Western Route Army is also passing through the west side of the Laoshan Mountains. The 10th Column has made a breakthrough on the front, and the progress has been slowed down."
After listening to Zuo Qingquan's report, Zhang Yunfei personally walked to the map and looked at the positions of each unit. Then, Zhang Yunfei said happily: "Old Zuo, according to this progress, it is expected that our Baishao troops will approach the north bank of the Yangtze River tomorrow morning."
"Well! My opinion is similar to that of the Commander-in-Chief." Comrade Zuo Qingquan, the Chief of Staff, nodded, "However, the situation around Nanjing is relatively complicated now, and many ** troops are also coming one after another, as if they are going to attack the Japanese outside Nanjing."
"Oh! There is something like this." Zhang Yunfei thought for a while and then said, "Send a message to our Baishao troops. We welcome these ** troops. If necessary, we can provide some help."
Deng Wenping, director of the General Political Department next to him, also said: "These **s are also our Chinese anti-RI forces. Come and fight the Japanese together. What we should help is still to help."
"Commander-in-Chief! There is another situation that needs to be reported to you."
"Old Zuo! Tell me!"
Comrade Zuo Qingquan, Chief of Staff, immediately said: "Based on a series of telegrams sent back by our three columns, we can see a situation. There are many puppet troops near Nanjing. How can we deal with these puppet troops?"
The puppet troops were also in China. Whenever they deal with it, they felt it was difficult. Many puppet troops used to be ** troops, but later surrendered to the Japanese and became puppet troops.
The Wang Puppet Regime is in Nanjing. There are so many puppet troops near Nanjing. Not only are there many puppet troops near Nanjing, but the number of puppet troops in Jiangnan has reached a terrifying hundreds of thousands, and it may not be much smaller than that of the Japanese.
Zhang Yunfei thought for a while and decided to take a propaganda offensive. Zhang Yunfei decided to say: "I notify 'Datong Radio Station' that at least three times a day will be promoted to the whole country by promoting the crimes of the Wang puppet regime and persuading the puppet troops across the country to surrender. If they do not surrender voluntarily, we will severely punish them."
"At the same time, the Datong Ri Daily has also conducted extensive publicity during this period and launched a psychological offensive to all the puppet troops, indicating that the Japanese are no longer able to do it and will be wiped out by us soon. The puppet troops must see the direction clearly and make things right immediately..."
Zhang Yunfei made careful arrangements for publicity, and immediately, the "Datong Radio Station" immediately began a massive publicity offensive, and the same was true for the "Datong Ri Daily".
The large-scale propaganda of the 36th Army immediately became apparent. Many puppet troops surrendered voluntarily, and some even turned against each other in front of the battlefield and launched an attack on the Japanese. Of course, this is what happened later.
At this time, the 10th Column was carrying out large-scale artillery bombardment on the Japanese positions.
The shells exploded one by one on the Japanese's positions, and the noise was very loud. The dense explosion sound could be clearly heard more than ten kilometers apart.
All mechanized infantry regiments, tank regiments, infantry regiments, and even some ** troops that will participate in the attack will enter the designated position as planned. Once the guns stop, everyone will carry out a large-scale charge.
*******Nanjing, the Japanese Central Hua Front Command.
The Japanese commander Matsui Ishione is summoning a group of Japanese soldiers to discuss countermeasures.
Now, a large number of heavy artillery from the 36th Army are fiercely bombarding the Japanese positions. The Japanese are obviously unable to stay and are preparing to discuss countermeasures.
Matsui Ishigen looked at the Japanese officers present, and his face was not good at all. The situation on the Japanese front was not good, and Matsui Ishigen was not in much mood either.
Just now, Matsui Ishione had finished his opening remarks and explained the situation. Next, a group of Japanese devils officers were asked to express their opinions and we would discuss countermeasures together.
A young Japanese man said, "Commander, several heavy artillery groups of the 36th Army are currently launching violent artillery bombardment on our defense line. We cannot be beaten in vain and not fight back. I suggest that our white artillery planes take off immediately and destroy these heavy artillery groups of the 36th Army."
Several Japanese officers around him also nodded slightly. As long as they could destroy the heavy artillery group of the 36th Army, the Japanese believed that the next battle would be much easier.
However, there was still a little Japanese lieutenant general a little worried, "Everyone, the 36th Army has built a large airport in Chuzhou. Our plane bombed their heavy artillery group, and their planes will soon arrive."
Upon hearing this, several Japanese officers agreed with the Japanese Lieutenant General.
Even if the Japanese dispatched planes to attack, they would give the Japanese a little time. Maybe the Japanese could be entangled with the wild horse fighter jets of the 36th Army that arrived.
Matsui Ishigen's face is also quite serious, thinking that this is just a bad move. Matsui Ishigen knows that once his fleet encounters the aircraft fleet of the 36th Army, he will definitely have very little chance of victory.
Now, the best way is to destroy the Chuzhou Airport of the 36th Army.
Thinking of Chuzhou Airport of the 36th Army, Matsui Ishien couldn't help but turn around and ask the Japanese Chief of Staff, "Send a report to the 72nd Regiment, where have they reached."
When he saw his commander ask, the Japanese Chief of Staff immediately said respectfully: "One hour ago, the 72nd Regiment sent a telegram that their white spoon is about ten kilometers away from Chuzhou Airport."
"Yo Xi!" Matsui Ishione saw that it was only ten kilometers away, and his face was immediately improved. "Hurry up and send a report to the 72nd Regiment, march quickly, and quickly destroy the Chuzhou Airport of the 36th Army."
Since the completion of Chuzhou Airport, Chuzhou Airport has become a thorn in Matsui Ishigen's eyes and a nail in the flesh, making Matsui Ishigen unable to sleep or eat.
Last time, after the failure to send an airplane to bomb Chuzhou Airport, Matsui Ishien thought of another solution. Two Yaoqian sent a Japanese field infantry corps, all wearing the Eighth Route Army's gray cloth uniform, and they were circling all the way, with the goal of dropping Chuzhou Airport.
Seeing that this field infantry corps, the 72nd Regiment, was only ten kilometers away from Chuzhou Airport, Matsui Ishien was naturally very happy.
Even the Japanese officers had a great face. Several Japanese officers even began to secretly admire Matsui Ishione and thought to themselves, "The Commander is really a good plan, and you can come up with such a good way."
