Junku Junroku is good at large-scale group battles, and he is mature and prudent, unlike Matsui Iwane who pays attention to strategy and tactics.

The only way to meet this kind of person is to test his hole step by step, wait until he shows all his cards, and then wait for the opportunity to move.

"Secretary Chu, let me know and order the first-line national army troops in Hangzhou. If the Japanese army provokes, they will resolutely fight back. All departments are ready to support at any time. Once the Japanese army attacks, they will immediately fight back."

Liang Xiao ordered in a deep voice.

"Yes."

Chu Xiangxue quickly wrote down the message.

"Go and do some work, and get Secretary Tang over by the way."

Liang Xiao waved his hand, indicating that she could leave.

After a while.

Tang Menghan, dressed in women's military uniform, walked in from the office.

Her slim and graceful appearance gave Liang Xiao a new look.

I haven't seen her for a few days, and she is much more beautiful. Of course, Liang Xiao never lacks beautiful women, he just took a few more glances at Tang Menghan.

"Tell me about the secret telegram you received recently."

Liang Xiao said.

"Top-secret information came from the Shanghai assassination team. The Japanese army is setting up the 731 bacterial laboratory in Shanghai. They plan to release bacterial viruses in the next war and capture Nanjing with bacterial warfare."

"Important information came from the Shanghai Navy intelligence station. Commander of the Central China Japanese army, Toshiro Hata, is building an airport in the suburbs of Shanghai. It is speculated that the Japanese army will bring in a large number of planes from the mainland again."

"News came from Hangzhou station. A few years ago, some Japanese entered the city with the intention of instigating the officers of the national army. At present, this group of Japanese has been closely watched. If there is any movement, they will be arrested immediately."

"Shanghai's underground economic group sent a secret message. Since the Japanese army occupied Shanghai, the legal currency issued by the national government has been abolished, and the currency has been uniformly changed to yen notes. At present, the Shanghai underground economic group has begun to print fake yen notes. It won't be long. Over time, these...fake yen notes will slowly flow into the market."

"Shanghai's underground intelligence team sent a secret message. Most of the members of the Qing Gang have joined the No. 76 spy organization. Among them are outstanding students who graduated from the Qinghu training class. Pheasant makes you rest assured that he will arrange everything."

After listening to the information reported by Tang Menghan, Liang Xiao smiled lightly. To him, none of this... was important information. Only the top-secret information from the Shanghai Assassination Team could trigger him. interest of.

As early as a few years ago, after the Japanese army occupied the Northeast, they began to set up bacteria and virus laboratories. On the North China battlefield, the Japanese army used bacteria and viruses a lot. The Battle of Nanjing greatly shocked the Japanese army. In order to deal with the Nanjing area The Japanese army in central China wanted to follow the example of the Kwantung Army and form a bacterial force so as to play a surprising role in the battlefield.

This is absolutely unacceptable to Liang Xiao, the national army is poorly equipped and has a large number of personnel, it is simply impossible to equip every army with gas masks.

"Order the assassination team to find the laboratory of the 731 Bacterial Force at all costs and destroy it."

Liang Xiao said in a deep voice.

"Yes, I will immediately send power to the assassination team."

Tang Menghan said rightly.

"Don't rush this matter. Take your time. Don't fall into the trap of the Japanese. Tell the assassination team to be careful."

Liang Xiao said.

"Yes, I will remind them to be careful in the telegram."

Tang Menghan said.

"In addition, send a telegram to the Shanghai station, asking them to secretly investigate the 731 bacteria unit, and once there is news, immediately spread the information."

Liang Xiao said in a deep voice.

"Yes."

Tang Menghan nodded slightly.

Chapter 124

That night, Liang Xiao called the generals in the city and held a simple military meeting. Although the Japanese army in Central China has not moved at all, as soon as the Battle of Wuhan starts, the Japanese army in Central China will rush towards Nanjing.

This is also the purpose of his combat meeting. Since it is expected that the Japanese army in central China will counterattack frantically, it is natural that some measures need to be taken in advance.

At the meeting, he gave an order to the Special Warfare Division to send a regiment of troops to quickly conduct a comprehensive monitoring of the mountains, valleys and rivers along the Yangtze River in Wuhu in order to prevent the Japanese from setting up dark hands in these places. .

In addition, the Special Warfare Division dispatched another regiment of troops to the Hangzhou area to help the local National Army troops and form a deterrent and threat to the Japanese army.

The remaining troops of the special warfare division all stayed behind in Nanjing City.

Arrange military matters.

Liang Xiao turned his attention to the military situation again. The intelligence department, operations department, general affairs department, telecommunications department and many other departments moved back to Nanjing city one after another.

With a big wave of his hand, he chose the former office building of the Military Intelligence Department as the office address. Anyway...after Dai Li led the intelligence personnel to withdraw from Nanjing, the former Military Intelligence Department building has been left unoccupied. It's better to give it to the Military Command.

Although the Military Command Bureau under him is not all the military command forces, it also controls most of the military command forces. Moreover, he has ordered the intelligence department to work with other departments to select reliable and capable intelligence officers as soon as possible, and go to various places to serve as intelligence officers. official.

The seventh day of the first lunar month.

The Military Control Bureau under him has completely settled in Nanjing, and the plaque of the former Military Intelligence Department has been completely replaced by the Military Intelligence Investigation and Statistics Bureau.

After the establishment of the Military Intelligence Investigation and Statistics Bureau, he personally gave a speech on the stage. After all, as far as the moment is concerned, the No.1 military and political official in Nanjing City is undoubtedly him, and he is also the deputy director of the Military Statistics Bureau.

After the lecture, he read the list of promotions of officials at all levels of the Military Command Bureau again, anyway, it was just a formality.

Everything is ready.

NO.11 of the first month.

The first shot of the Battle of Wuhan was fired.

The Japanese North China Front Army, with a mixed brigade, marched south from Jinpu Road, quickly defeated the two standing divisions of the Northwest Army guarding Jinpu Road, went south along Jinpu Road, and went straight to Wuhan.

In order to successfully capture Wuhan this time, the Japanese army mobilized more than 20 land and water troops, involving Shanxi, Baoding, Anhui, Shandong, Beijing and Tianjin, North China, etc., involving more than a dozen provinces.

After the Japanese army fired the first shot in the Battle of Wuhan, the Huazhong Japanese army in Shanghai was unwilling to be lonely. In order to cooperate with the Japanese army's military operation to attack Wuhan, the Huazhong Japanese army sent two brigades from Shanghai, a bomber formation, an anti-aircraft artillery brigade, and an armored brigade. , went south along the Beijing-Shanghai Railway, and exchanged fire with the vanguard of the 66th Army guarding Beijing and Shanghai. The two sides fought fiercely for two days and nights, and the [-]th Army gradually lost.

Moreover, the Japanese army's single-soldier combat capability is strong, and the national army troops on the battlefield have already learned it. The Japanese soldiers are superior to the national army soldiers in terms of marksmanship and bayonet skills.

The 66th Army couldn't stand it anymore, and sent multiple telegrams for help to the Garrison Command.

After careful consideration, Liang Xiao decided to dispatch his ace troops to go all out to wipe out the Japanese army's motorized forces, guard the Beijing-Shanghai railway line, and prevent the Japanese army from going south.

He immediately gave the order to the 26th Army, and ordered Chief of Staff Zhou Shiji to lead the 26th Army to the Beijing-Shanghai Railway to replace the 66th Army which suffered heavy casualties.

The 26th Army is his direct line of troops, no matter the equipment or combat effectiveness, it is not inferior to the 74th Army or the [-]th Army.

After receiving the order, the 26th Army rushed to the Beijing-Shanghai railway line non-stop, connected to the defense area of ​​the 66th Army, and had the first confrontation with the attacking Japanese troops.

In the first confrontation, the Japanese army was caught off guard. The opponent's firepower and marksmanship, as well as the power of artillery fire, etc., have completely stepped up to a new level.

Moreover, the soldiers of the 66th Army wore khaki combat uniforms, while the soldiers on the opposite side wore green camouflage combat uniforms.

On the Songhu battlefield, there were several troops wearing green camouflage combat uniforms, but these troops, without exception, were all Liang Xiao's direct descendants.

And Liang Xiao's reputation on the Songhu battlefield has long been a thorn in the side of the Japanese army. At this moment, the Japanese army saw that the national army on the opposite side was Liang Xiao's direct line army, and immediately attacked wildly.

The 26th Army is also not to be outdone. The Japanese dared to use howitzers, but they did not dare to use howitzers. The Japanese had armored units, and so did they. The Japanese dared to send bombers to the sky to bombard them wildly, but they... were helpless.

After the Military and Political Council withdrew, it took away a large number of planes, leaving Liang Xiao with only one brigade of air force establishments. Moreover, the fighter planes of this brigade were far inferior to the Japanese fighter planes. If they were sent into the air with the Japanese bombers To fight is to seek death.

This is also the reason why Liang Xiao has not used the air force. Since sending them out is asking for death, why send them out.

Moreover, coping with the bombing of the Japanese Air Force has become one of the compulsory courses for the national army.

Especially during positional warfare, the national army would follow his orders and build a large number of air-raid shelters on the ground. As long as they heard the buzz of Japanese planes, the soldiers would quickly hide in the air-raid shelters. Air defense practices on the battlefield.

Garrison Command.

Liang Xiao was wearing a coat, pacing back and forth on the ground.

"General, just received a telegram from the 26th Army. They repelled several Japanese attacks. When the Japanese attack was blocked, they sent a large number of fighter planes to bomb their defense area."

Chu Xiangxue walked in with the telegram she had just received.

"Telegram the 26th Army and order them to concentrate their superior forces and firepower, and deal a heavy blow to the Japanese army at night, trying to eliminate the Japanese army on the Beijing-Shanghai railway line in a short time."

Liang Xiao said.

"Yes, I will send a report to the 26th Army immediately. In addition, the Japanese army in the direction of Hangzhou is also active. They provoked our garrison several times, but were beaten back."

Chu Xiangxue said.

"The commander of the Central China Japanese army is testing our deployment of troops. If the national army on the front line in Hangzhou is vulnerable, they will attack aggressively. If our army resists tenaciously, the Central China Japanese army will adopt... other tactics. "

Liang Xiao said.

"The general is right."

Chu Xiangxue said.

"Go."

Liang Xiao waved his hand and asked her to send the report.

He sat down by himself and carefully studied the military map, trying to find out something from the ratio of troops between China and Japan.

The current situation is not optimistic. Wuhan is too busy to take care of itself and can't take care of Nanjing. Nanjing has only 10,000+ national troops. In terms of military strength, it is not much different from the Japanese army in Central China.

Chapter 125 Attack Instead of Defense

The twelfth day of the first lunar month.

The Military Commission of the Nationalist Government issued a combat order for the Battle of Wuhan, and successively mobilized more than 20 reorganized armies, plus troops from Wuhan and other arms, with a total strength of about 100 million.

According to the information of the Bureau of Military Statistics, the Japanese army that attacked Wuhan this time had about 25 troops.

In terms of military strength, the national army is four times the size of the Japanese army.

However, judging from the combat effectiveness of both sides, it is not easy for the national army to win the Wuhan battle. After all, the Japanese army is notoriously powerful, and the national army's personnel and equipment are uneven, so it is difficult to win this war. However, Nothing is absolute.

Nanjing, Garrison Command.

After Liang Xiao received the Wuhan combat order from the Military and Political Council, he immediately mobilized the national army troops in Nanjing to deploy defenses in Hangzhou, Wuxi, Wuhu, and the Beijing-Shanghai Railway.

For the time being, there has been no large-scale war in Nanjing. Except for the two brigades of the 26th Army and the Japanese Army fighting for several days along the Beijing-Shanghai Railway, other places are small fights, nothing special .

"Report, the 66th Army received a call, and a regiment of the Japanese army attacked Zhenjiang again, and asked the headquarters whether to resist."

The staff officer inquired with the telegram he had just received.

"Electricly order the 66th Army not to let a single Japanese soldier pass."

Liang Xiao said.

After speaking.

He pondered for a moment and asked, "How is the situation of the 26th Army?"

"Reporting to the commander, the 26th Army is advancing along the Beijing-Shanghai Railway after severely injuring the Japanese army."

Combat staff officer said.

"move forward"

Liang Xiaojian frowned slightly, and looked up at the military map.

Proceeding along the Beijing-Shanghai Railway, you will be able to reach outside the suburbs of Shanghai.

And in the suburbs of Shanghai, the Japanese army stationed heavy troops.

If the 26th Army continues to advance, it is very likely that it will come into close contact with the Japanese in the suburbs of Shanghai. At that time, the Japanese troops in Dachang, Suzhou and other places will cut off the retreat of the 26th Army.

If the 26th Army fell into the anti-siege of the Japanese army, it would undoubtedly be a major blow to Liang Xiao. Moreover, the 26th Army is the only German weapon ace army in the Nanjing National Army. If the 26th Army has any mistakes, Directly affect the situation and situation of the Nanjing battlefield.

Liang Xiao thought over and over again, and made an important decision.

"Electricly ordered all units of the Hangzhou National Army to immediately advance along the Suzhou-Hangzhou Highway. Whenever the Japanese army resisted, they would advance with heavy artillery fire at all costs. They echoed with the 26th Army on the Beijing-Shanghai Railway and supported each other."

"Commander, can this combat order of yours be interpreted as an active attack on the Japanese army?"

The combat staff officer was slightly surprised.

"Yes, take the initiative to attack, sometimes, rather than...waiting to be hit, if you stop attacking, no matter...

What kind of conspiracy is brewing by the Japanese army in central China, as long as they send troops to fight, everything will be clear."

A trace of confidence flashed in Liang Xiao's eyes.

"Yes, I will send the combat order immediately."

Sando.

"Wait a minute, call Zhou Shiji, the commander of the 26th Army, and order him to lead the troops to march at a speed that will keep advancing on a level line with the national army in Hangzhou and other places."
