"Teacher seat."

"Teacher seat."

The officers of the headquarters stood up and saluted one after another.

"Busy you."

Liang Xiao waved his hand.

"Master, everything is as you expected. The Japanese army landed from Hangzhou Bay in the early morning of the [-]th. The first landing force entered the area under heavy artillery bombardment by our army. The enemy who landed was wiped out by the river."

Zhou Shiji laughed.

His voice just fell.

Then I heard a rumbling sound outside the headquarters.

Then, the headquarters felt like an earthquake, and the flickering lights made people dizzy.

However, everyone got used to it, and no one made any exclamation.

"The shitty Japanese planes have been bombing for more than two hours, and they haven't stopped."

Zhou Shiji scolded.

"The aircraft bombs carried on the Japanese aircraft carrier are limited. It is impossible for them to bomb continuously. Just wait, after dawn, they will stop."

Liang Xiao said lightly.

"Master, I'm worried about such a long coastline. If we can't defend in any direction and the Japanese army successfully lands, our army will face a situation of being divided by the Japanese army. I implore the division to send power to Nanjing and ask for reinforcements."

Zhou Shiji said.

"It is certain to ask for help. The Tenth Army of the Japanese Army has more than 3 troops. Although our army has more than 4 troops, our weapons and equipment are at a disadvantage. We can temporarily hold them by relying on heavy artillery and mountain artillery. With the cooperation of the government, it is easy to tear a hole from the dozens of kilometers of coastline.”

Liang Xiao said.

Zhou Shiji nodded in agreement, once the Japanese army opened their mouths, Hangzhou would be in jeopardy.

"Chu Xiangxue."

Liang Xiao shouted.

"arrive."

Chu Xiangxue, dressed in women's camouflage combat uniform, came.

"Connect to the phone number of the appointed study room."

Liang Xiao said.

"Yes."

Chu Xiangxue hurriedly walked to the study room of the radio transfer committee.

Liang Xiao looked at the time, it was exactly three o'clock: the committee member should have just fallen asleep.

The phone rang several times before it got through.

The person who answered the phone was the staff officer on duty in the attendant room.

"Consultant Sun, I am Liang Xiao, you go and wake up the committee immediately, I have a major military report."

Liang Xiao didn't treat the staff in the attendant's room like other generals. He treated the staff in the attendant's room carefully, just like he ordered his own subordinates, because most of the staff in the attendant's room had their handles on him. palm, no one dares to offend him without opening his eyes.

"General Liang, wait a moment, I will call for the commissioner right away."

After a long time.

Then I heard the voice of the committee member coming from the phone: "Fei Yu, is there any major military situation at night?"

"Principal, more than 4 people from the Tenth Japanese Army took more than 80 ships to land on the coastlines of Hangzhou Bay, Quangongting, and Jinshanwei. ,, kilometers long, the student force is limited, it is really difficult to defend for a long time, I implore the principal to send troops to support."

Liang Xiao deliberately exaggerated the enemy's situation on the phone, also in order to attract the attention of the committee.

Hear the news.

The committee member on the other end of the phone was silent for a long time.

Just two days ago, Liang Feiyu's intelligence department also sent him the information that the Japanese army landed from Hangzhou Bay. He agreed with the senior officials of the government that the Japanese army might land from Hangzhou Bay because the waters in that area are not Suitable for large-scale landing operations.

However, the Japanese army landed from Hangzhou Bay, and there were three 3rd divisions of the Tenth Army, with a total of more than 4 people.

Fortunately, Liang Feiyu planned properly and arranged his troops in coastal positions in advance. Otherwise, once the Japanese army landed from Hangzhou Bay, the entire Songhu battlefield would fall into a strategically passive situation.

The committee member heaved a sigh of relief.

No wonder Liang Xiao gave up Wusongkou and returned to Hangzhou. It turned out that he had long judged that the Japanese army would land from Hangzhou Bay.

"Fei Yu, I won't say much about the importance of Hangzhou Bay. I only have one sentence: defend Hangzhou Bay, and I will immediately send troops to support you."

The voice of the commissioner came over.

"Principal, the Japanese army has aircraft carriers on the river and planes in the sky. The students may not last long. Please send reinforcements early."

Liang Xiao said urgently.

"Don't worry, the reinforcements will arrive at Hangzhou Bay before dawn."

Appointment Road.

"Yes."

Liang Xiao hung up the phone and heaved a sigh of relief. As long as the committee is willing to send reinforcements, he has the confidence to defend the tens of kilometers of coastline and prevent a single Japanese army from crossing Hangzhou Bay.

"Master, the Commissioner has agreed to send reinforcements."

Zhou Shiji asked.

"The importance of Hangzhou Bay is self-evident. It can not only cut off the retreat of the national army on the Songhu battlefield, but also threaten the security of Nanjing. The committee will definitely send troops to support it."

Liang Xiao said.

"With reinforcements, we can hold the coastline of Hangzhou Bay and prevent the Japanese from taking advantage of it."

Zhou Shiji said.

"I will guard here. You take the battalion directly under the division headquarters to Hangzhou City, and let the government come forward to appease the masses. At this critical juncture, don't cause trouble."

Liang Xiao said.

"Yes."

Zhou Shiji will do it right away.

"By the way, order all the students of Hangzhou Medical University to join the army and be included in the medical team of special combat divisions, so that they can learn how to save lives and heal the wounded on the battlefield."

Liang Xiao never spared talents, especially medical talents. In the past, he had no excuse to attack the medical university. Now it is different. A large-scale war broke out in Hangzhou. As students, they should serve the country.

"Teacher's seat, students from other universities"

Zhou Shiji laughed.

"Students from other universities...volunteer. If they are willing to enlist in the army, our special combat division welcomes them with both hands. If they don't want to, let them go, as long as they don't cause trouble."

Liang Xiao said.

"Humble job, go and deliver your order now."

Zhou Shiji turned around and walked out of the headquarters, leading the battalion directly under him to Hangzhou City.

Chapter 44 Phase [-] Huang Jie

The artillery fire in Hangzhou Bay continued until dawn.

After dawn, all the planes on the Japanese aircraft carrier took off and threw bombs at the coastal defense line from Hangzhou Bay to Jinshanwei. Fortunately, the troops built small air defense fortifications on the positions. No major casualties were caused.

After all, from Hangzhou Bay to Jinshanwei, Quangong Pavilion has tens of kilometers of defense in depth. If the Japanese army wants to blast all these tens of kilometers of positions to the ground, at least hundreds of planes and countless bombs are needed. From the perspective of the logistical supply of the enemy at sea, this is unrealistic.

The logistics supplies of the Japanese army are all transported by sea. Hundreds of thousands of troops consume countless ammunition and supplies every day. In the three months since the start of the war, the Japanese army’s logistics supplies have been exhausted.

The Japanese troops on the Songhu battlefield have stopped using large-scale bombardment, and the bullets of the rifles are no longer unlimited wild fire, but regular fire.

Judging from these two points, the Japanese army's logistics are already tight, and the Japanese No.11 Army, which intends to land from Hangzhou Bay this time, has three 3rd divisions, more than 3 people, and needs countless logistical materials. Even if there is an aircraft carrier They don't dare to use it irregularly, they are powerless to launch a large-scale air strike like Wusongkou.

Therefore, there is still great hope of successfully preventing the Japanese army from landing in Hangzhou Bay. Moreover, the Chairman has ordered the Central Military Academy Teaching Brigade, Tax Police Headquarters and other elite troops to come to Hangzhou Bay to support.

In the morning, after the bombing by Japanese planes ended, Japanese soldiers drove small ships to land from the shore. As soon as they landed, they were shot by heavy machine guns from the forward position.

At the division headquarters, Liang Xiao looked at the Japanese aircraft carrier on the river with a binoculars, thinking that little Japan deserves to be an industrialized country. , From the beginning of the war to the present, the national navy fleet fought the Japanese army once, and lost several ships.

"Senior seat, Commander-in-Chief Huang of Tax Police is here."

The combat staff came in from the headquarters.

The Tax Police is always a mechanized unit built by Song Ziwen. Its equipment is excellent, even... the first army of the national army can't compare with such an elite division.

Looking at the troops of the national army's battle order, only Liang Xiao's special warfare division can compare with the tax police, and the rest of the troops do not have such sophisticated equipment.

At 1, the chairman sent Huang Jie, a first-year student from Whampoa, as the commander-in-chief of the tax police. Since then, this tax police force has entered the hands of the chairman. Although Song Ziwen was unwilling, there was nothing he could do about it.

After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, the Tax Police was reorganized into two detachments, namely the first detachment, which had jurisdiction over the first, second, and third regiments, and the second detachment had jurisdiction over the fourth, fifth, and sixth regiments. Battalion, Mortar Battalion, Engineer Battalion, Communications Battalion, Supplies Battalion, Independent First Battalion, Independent Second Battalion, Guardian Team, Secret Service Company, Guard Company, Health Team, General Hospital, Military Band, Ordnance Station, etc.. ..

He Shaozhou served as the commander of the first detachment and the commander of Liu Gong's detachment.

The overall establishment of the tax police is larger than that of the Class A regular army. An ordinary company of the tax police has 250 soldiers and 252 soldiers, while a company of the Class A regular army has more than 40 soldiers.

Therefore, the two detachments of the tax police add up to nearly 3 people, but on the Songhu battlefield, these two detachments suffered a lot of losses, with a reduction of one-third of their staff. At present, there are only about one-half: troops.

Huang Jie, commander-in-chief of the tax police, is a first-year student in Huangpu. During the Central Plains War, he was invincible and made many military exploits, which was appreciated by the chairman. Two years ago, he was already a lieutenant general. At the beginning, he served as the commander of the Eighth Army with the rank of Lieutenant General and the rank of Lieutenant General, and concurrently served as the commander-in-chief of the tax police.

Liang Xiao pondered slightly.

It was a good thing to appoint Huang Jie to support him, but Huang Jie has always been arrogant and conceited. He has a bad manner like Hu Zongnan. Many people, although less than his 3 people, but close in strength, afraid that Huang Jie would not obey his command.

You must know that the defense deployment of Hangzhou Bay was arranged by him alone. If Huang Jie does not obey the command and dictates his deployment, it will easily lead to conflicts among military commanders. When the time comes, there will be problems in the deployment and operations, and the Japanese army will take advantage of the loopholes. , the responsibility is greater.

Of course, the responsibility is small, and the consequences are too great.

The importance of Hangzhou Bay is self-evident. It can be seen from the command of the chairman of the tax police and the teaching brigade that the committee attaches more importance to Hangzhou Bay than any battlefield on the front line of Songhu.

"Come on, please Commander-in-Chief Huang."

Liang Xiao hurriedly said: "Wait a minute, I will go to meet you in person."

During his commanding operations, he seldom went to greet military generals in person, even Huangpu generals such as Hu Zongnan and Song Xilian did not receive such treatment.

When he walked out of the command post, he saw a lieutenant general wearing a general's coat, surrounded by a group of officers, approaching the command post.

Liang Xiao and Huang Jie had met a few times during the National Defense War Conference in Nanjing, but they were not familiar with each other.

"Eighth Army Huang Jie."

Huang Jie walked past Zibao's house, but he didn't salute, because he is a lieutenant general, and his seniority is Whampoa first grade. Although Liang Xiao is also a lieutenant general, he is a Whampoa ninth grade student, so he should salute him.

"Special Warfare Master Liang Xiao."

Liang Xiao would not salute him. Whoever salutes first at this time will take the initiative to be lowered by one level. He will not make such a common sense mistake.

"Mr. Liang, the principal ordered me to lead the first and second detachments of the Tax Police Headquarters to Hangzhou Bay to participate in the war. I hope that we will work together to fight against the Japanese invaders."

Huang Jie said.

"Commander Huang, the principal didn't ask you to join the war in Hangzhou Bay, but asked you to lead troops to reinforce Hangzhou Bay."

Liang Xiao cleverly pointed out the loopholes in his words, although they were two simple words, there was a huge difference.

"Mr. Liang made such a clear distinction with Mr. Huang as soon as we met, because he was worried that Mr. Huang would overwhelm the host."

How could Huang Jie fail to hear Liang Xiao's implication.

"Commander Huang, please."

Liang Xiao smiled faintly.

"Please."

Huang Jie took the lead without hesitation. He is a first-year student in Whampoa, so he has the qualifications to go ahead.

Liang Xiaojian frowned slightly, from Huang Jie's words it was not difficult to hear that he would not listen to his subordinates, this was a troublesome matter.
