Chapter 394 Tongcheng County Mayor
Wang Mingyu kept thinking about how the Japanese army broke the deadlock, and at the same time he thought about how to strengthen the defense. At this moment, the threat of the plane to Tongcheng was obviously much smaller. With air defense facilities, the Japanese army must have thrown into a rat and lost an aircraft at the cost of losing a plane. The dense group of aircraft they absolutely did not want to see came over, and it was very likely to be stubbornly resisted by the 318th Army. Even if it could cause harm to the 318th Army, their aviation brigade would suffer a devastating blow.
The main purpose of these crisscrossing trenches is to defend the Japanese ground armored forces. The last time Yao Ziqing's strategy was right to place a large amount of explosives in these trenches. Even if the position is lost, the Japanese army will have to lose too high a price to obtain the frontier position in front of Tongcheng. Compared with the time in Jiangyin, the frontier position was dug and the connections were well-connected. Even if the Japanese army occupied the first defense zone, they were facing the second defense zone behind.
Now there is a moat about four meters wide excavated between the two defense zones with local power in Tongcheng. With such a defensive posture, no matter who sees it, it will be a headache. Even if the 26th Army of Hefei City has such a defense, it will not be possible for the Japanese army to break the city in a short period of time.
Wang Mingyu feels that Tongcheng and Baoshan are incomparable this time. Baoshan is basically full of loopholes. Tongcheng is mainly in three directions, and the most important thing is Wuhan to the west. The place they want to defend is now Wang Mingyu feels that he can deal with the Japanese army for a long time. As long as they keep supply lines in the west, they feel that they can fight attrition with the Japanese army for a long time. In the end, the only one who is unlucky is the Japanese army.
Wang Mingyu saw the people in front of him still busy, and many fortifications were constantly strengthening. The design of the frontier positions was very reasonable at the moment. Even the air raid shelter was one every five meters. The shooting hole was designed according to the bunker, which was much more reasonable than before. The probability of the Japanese hitting the target was further reduced. Now you can imagine whether the Japanese army would swallow their anger when they broke through Hefei City.
Wang Mingchuan has opened the city gate at this moment. Two iron bridges were set up in front of the city gate to allow the troops' trucks to pass through. The troops were marching towards Tongcheng. The First Division has been transferred to the south gate for defense. Their goal is to station the second Japanese division from Anqing on the north gate. The other independent brigades and others are all going to the east gate. There are only about 500 people guarding the remaining west gate. However, they are all veterans and there is basically nothing to worry about.
Wang Mingchuan stepped forward and saluted: Military seat, welcome you to Tongcheng. According to your order, you have begun to strengthen and transform. I would like to thank the county magistrate and security team of Tongcheng. They are also welcome to our army's arrival several times to organize migrant workers to help our army dig rivers and build fortifications. The entire Tongcheng gate has been completely transformed. At this moment, the four gates of Tongcheng have been replaced with iron gates.
Wang Mingyu nodded and said: You have done a good job. Now your army's mission is to send 800 people to each division of the 2nd Division of the First Division to send 600 people to the Independent Brigade to let their veterans lead their troops on the battlefield without veterans. That is conceivable. The remaining 1,500 people are in the middle and wait at any time to deal with possible crises and maintain the public security situation in the entire Tongcheng.
Mr. Zhang is naturally not an unreasonable person, and there are naturally concessions in the compromise: Don't worry, General Wang, if that day comes, I will do my best to help General Wang evacuate the people of Tongcheng. All the people of Tongcheng, no matter how big or small, follow General Wang's command.
Wang Mingyu felt more comfortable. It was the greatest affirmation of him that so many people were willing to defend the city with him. Although Wang Mingyu felt that there was more responsibility now, the more it was touching that the defense in the city was actually the least difficult. The Japanese army relied on nothing more than aircraft. However, this time Wang Mingyu brought back so many air defense facilities from the United States to prevent Japanese aircraft.
After at most two or three bombings, they would definitely give up the idea of bombing the plane. So even in wartime, Tongcheng was at least relatively safe. Instead of letting them wander, it would be better to let them stay here now. Wang Mingyu planned to withstand the Japanese army. However, the later retreat work should be carried out quickly. Once the Japanese army opened the gap from one side, then when Wuhan was lost, wouldn’t Tongcheng become an isolated city.
Of course, if Wuhan is finally lost from another direction, then Wang Mingyu will definitely start to retreat with all his strength after getting the news as soon as possible. The direction of retreat has not been chosen at the moment. However, it is obvious that Tongcheng is not a soft persimmon at this moment. If the Japanese army cannot open the gap for a long time, then there will be a huge obstacle to their entire operation. Once a deadlock is formed, it should not be them, but the Japanese army.
The only thing Wang Mingyu has to do now is to purchase a large amount of food, weapons, ammunition and other materials for attrition. Although these were already assigned to Wang Mingchuan before, it seems that he did not hear Wang Mingchuan's report. After Wang Mingyu said goodbye to Mr. Zhang, he hurried to the conference room. Many things have not been dealt with now. When he first arrived in Tongcheng, he has experienced such an accident. It is obvious that Wang Mingyu is most anxious at the moment to solve the problem about the people of Tongcheng, otherwise the consequences will be self-evident.
The location of the field hospital is not far from the military headquarters, which is also due to Nie Sisi. Most of the wards of the field hospitals are located at the bottom. Although Wang Mingchuan temporarily built these, he still received the help of County Mayor Zhang. Therefore, the conditions are quite good, and Wang Mingchuan's labor money for help is at least twice that of the outside. Such conditions make the skilled craftsmen in Tongcheng flock to him.
The facilities of this military conference room basically moved the county government conference room things intact, which looked a bit quaint: Please ask for a flower, the competition on the flower list is too fierce, and some relaxation, please support you all to add 180 flowers.
