Moreover, the strategic preparer did not specify how many people, he could recruit [-] or [-], anyway...he had the final say.

"You were promoted to the commander-in-chief of the group army this time, and your rank should have been raised to the second-level general, but your qualifications are too low, and there is no second-level general to retire right now. You have to wait for a while and wait until the end of this year. I will find a way to raise your rank to the second general."

Appointment Road.

"The principal's kindness to the students, the students will remember it in their hearts, and dare not forget it for a moment."

Liang Xiao is really grateful to the commissioner. If it wasn't for his trust, he might still be in the military commander's one-acre three-point land. How could it be possible to hold hands with a 10,000+ army and dominate Jiangdong.

"You are my right-hand man and the pillar of the party-state. Whether the war of resistance can be won or not depends on you."

The commissioner gave Liang Xiao a very high evaluation. Of course, this also stems from Liang Xiao's ability to command and fight.

"Principal, don't worry, as long as the students are alive, they will fight the Japanese invaders to the end."

Liang Xiao stood upright and stood upright.

"It would be great if all the soldiers of the party-state were like you."

The commissioner said with satisfaction.

Liang Xiao smiled slightly and said: "Principal, the student has an unfeeling request, please ask the principal for approval."

"oh what's up"

The commissioner frowned and asked.

"If the students expected well, in the later period of the Wuhan Battle, the Japanese army in Shanghai would attack Nanjing with the cooperation of the navy and air force. Under the three-dimensional attack of the Japanese army, even if the students had 10,000+ troops, they were still somewhat powerless, so , the students implored the principal to transfer a battalion of anti-aircraft guns to Nanjing to listen to the order."

Liang Xiao fell in love with Du Yuming's anti-aircraft guns during the last Nanjing campaign, and this time he seized the opportunity, so he naturally wanted to mention it to the committee.

The committee member thought for a moment: "I will consider this matter first, but I can give you a howitzer battalion to help you defend Nanjing."

"Thank you principal."

Liang Xiao was not disappointed either, after he bought the plane from Deutschland, the anti-aircraft guns did not have much effect on him.

Chapter 2 Discussing the War

The next day, Liang Xiao arrived at Nanjing Airport from Kaifeng by special plane.

It's the beginning of February now, the north is still icy and snowy, and the temperature in the south of the Yangtze River is gradually picking up. In another month, it will be...the spring is warm and the flowers are blooming, and everything is back to spring.

By that time, the Japanese army will definitely attack Nanjing, there is no doubt about it.

After all, if the Japanese army wants to occupy the whole country, it must open up the north-south water and land communication line, and Nanjing is guarding the Yangtze River throat fortress, which is the only place for the Japanese army to open up the north-south communication line.

The national army stationed in the Ninghang area, together with the local garrison, totaled about 20. In terms of military strength, the national army had the upper hand, but the Japanese army was powerful. Usually, one regiment could sweep an entire division. Moreover, The Japanese army had superiority in the air and sea, and the national army lost its air and sea control, leaving only land.

Therefore, in order to win this war, it is not enough to rely on the army alone, and we must regain the air supremacy.

Zheng Baozhen has already left for Germany, I hope his trip will be successful.

Of course, Liang Xiao would never put all his eggs in one basket, this is war, and war never waits for anyone, moreover, war has no rules at all.

In addition to the frontal battle with the Japanese army, spy warfare is also indispensable. With his layout in Shanghai, every move of the Japanese army cannot escape his eyes.

Nanjing, headquarters.

The first thing Liang Xiao did after he came back was to summon the generals under his command, prepare to list the sixteenth army headquarters, and discuss the war situation by the way.

For this meeting, all four commanders of the 44th Corps under his command were present, Sun Bing, Commander of the Special Warfare Division, and Yu Likui, Commander-in-Chief of the Loyalty and National Salvation Army, were all waiting in the meeting room.

"Everyone, the temperature is gradually rising now, and our days of stability are coming to an end."

梁萧开场白简单直接:“下面我宣布各军驻防地,我军与日军的停战线在杭州城外的金山卫一带,以金山卫往东是日军占领区,以北是我方占领区,目前驻守金山卫以及杭州一带的是66军,66军满编兵员为两万1000人,下辖三师一旅,经历过去年的南京保卫战,以及今年初我们发动的进攻战,66军作战勇猛,在数次战斗中均有不俗的表现,因此我宣布,66军仍驻金山卫一带.”

"Yes."

"Yes."

But Ye Zhao, deputy commander-in-chief of the 66th Army and commander of the 66th Army, stood up and agreed, and Sun Bing, acting commander of the [-]th Army, also stood up.

Liang Xiao smiled slightly, motioned for the two of them to take their seats, and continued: "We have crossed the coastline of Jinshanwei in Hangzhou, and we will also send troops to garrison the Nanjing-Shanghai Railway, and this mission is the newly formed Tenth Army.

"Yes, our New Tenth Army will never embarrass the chief."

Cao Xian stood up and said.

"sit down:."

Liang Xiao signaled him, and said: "Although the New Tenth Army has recruited some veterans, the weapons and equipment are still a bit crude compared to the Japanese army. In the near future, I will add a batch of new equipment to your New Tenth Army."

"Thank you sir."

Cao Xian looked slightly happy and hurriedly expressed his thanks.

"In addition to the Nanjing-Shanghai Railway, we still have more than 300 kilometers of coastline to defend, and this task will be handed over to the New Eleventh Army."

Liang Xiao said.

"President, rest assured, our New Eleventh Army must be nailed to the [-]-kilometer-long coastline, and we will never let the Japanese army have a chance to land and fight."

Changzhen State Road.

"sit down:."

Liang Xiao said with a smile: "We are deploying defenses in the shape of Pinpin. This kind of defense has both advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that it can cut off the way for the Japanese navy and the Japanese army in Central China to meet. The disadvantage is that our interior is empty. Once the Japanese army breaks down a little bit, Pin The formation of fonts and products will be defeated, leading to the collapse of the whole system.”

"Given the experience of attacking Shanghai last time, I decided that the 26th Army would be the mobile force, and the next step of the battle would be determined according to the Japanese army's combat situation."

"Boss, if the Japanese attack, our 26th Army is willing to take the lead."

Zhou Shiji stood up and said.

"You kid is addicted to playing the first battle"

Liang Xiao scolded with a smile.

"Boss, look at the party-state's millions of troops, and our 26th Army's fighting power is unparalleled. Let us take the lead. Even if it is Shanghai, we can take it down."

Zhou Shiji said confidently, he is not talking big, with the 26th Army's sophisticated weapons and equipment, it is possible to capture Shanghai, but if it is to defend Shanghai, it seems a bit tight.

"The 26th Army stayed behind as a mobile force."

Liang Xiao knew very well that good steel should be used on the edge of a knife. As the ace army under his command, the 26th Army must be used as a trump card. Moreover, the two newly formed armies need wars to sharpen, and this opportunity must be left to them.

"Yes."

Zhou Shiji sat down sullenly.

"In addition, the heavy artillery unit and the mountain artillery unit of the 26th Army were unified and expanded into the heavy artillery brigade and the mountain artillery brigade, which were directly under the general headquarters of the group, and were used by the various units assigned to the general headquarters during wartime."

With a simple sentence, Liang Xiao transferred the heavy artillery and mountain artillery of the 26th Army to the general headquarters.

"Boss, this is not good. Heavy artillery and mountain artillery are the foundation of our 26th Army. If you transfer heavy artillery and mountain artillery to the headquarters, we will not have the fire support of heavy artillery when we start a war."

Zhou Shiji was like a wronged little daughter-in-law.

"We are now fighting with a group army. The heavy artillery and mountain artillery must be used in conjunction with the armies under the group army. They cannot be used only by the 26th Army. Besides, the 26th Army has dozens of other caliber guns besides... the mountain artillery and the heavy artillery. For example, the [-] infantry artillery captured by the little devil, there are thirty or forty at least, there are also mortars, tank battalions, etc... With these equipments, it is enough for you to sweep any Japanese regular division group."

Liang Xiao said.

"How can this be the same? With heavy artillery and mountain artillery, the little devil will be surrounded by the firepower in the early stage. Once the sound of the artillery stops, the soldiers can rush to seize the position under the cover of tanks and armored vehicles."

Zhou Shiji thought to himself that he was really unlucky, he didn't get the main battlefield, and now he even had to hand over the heavy artillery and mountain artillery belonging to the 26th Army.

"I said, Lao Zhou, you can't be too selfish. The Chief Commander formed the Heavy Artillery Brigade and the Mountain Artillery Brigade. It was for the sake of our army group. You can't keep dominating like this."

Cao Xiandao.

"You have just left the 26th Army, and you have forgotten the old army so quickly. I think you are really heartless."

Zhou Shiji scolded with a smile.

Chapter 2 and Three: Military Intelligence and War Preparation

"Nanjing city defense is handed over to the 26th Army Independent Brigade and the third detachment of the Loyalty and National Salvation Army to coordinate defense."

Liang Xiao said.

"Yes."

Zhou Shiji stood up and said loudly.

"Yes."

Yu Likui said loudly.

"Everyone, the situation we are facing now is very serious. After the beginning of spring, the Japanese army will definitely march towards Hangzhou. During this period, our army must make comprehensive preparations for war, dig more trenches and tunnels in various defensive positions, and at the same time, all armies must prepare for battle. , Wars happen all the time, when the war comes, it is time for us to fight the enemy bravely for the country and the nation, this time, either the enemy dies or... I die, there is no second way.”

Liang Xiao said loudly.

"Boss, won't Chongqing send us reinforcements?"

Zhou Shiji asked.

"Send a fart."

Liang Xiao uttered a rare swear word, and said: "Chongqing is too busy to take care of itself. The elites of the Central Army are all rushing to fight in various war zones. How can there be elites sent to us. This time, we can only rely on ourselves to get through the difficulties."

诸位将领一听此话,顿时心神不定,重庆政府这次一兵一卒都不派,仅靠刚成立的No.16集军能顶住日军的立体式进攻吗,要知道,去年淞沪抗战的时候,国军60多万,日军20多万,兵力比是三比一,结果60万国军败的一塌糊涂,差点儿连国都南京都丢了,如今宁杭一带最多只有20万兵力,其中有五六,,万兵力都是地方部队,诸如各地方的守备部队,保安部队,警察部队等等....

The regular army only has four 16th armies under the No.44 set army, about 14 people, plus the special warfare division and the Loyalty and National Salvation Army, the strength is only about [-]:, relying on this force to defend the Ninghang area , somewhat outnumbered.

"President, what should we do if the Japanese army attacks fiercely?"

Chang Zhenguo asked.

"Nanjing is here, we are here, Nanjing has fallen, and I will go to the national calamity together with you."

Liang Xiao said decisively.

"Humble job understands."

Chang Zhenguo nodded slightly, he understood what the chief executive meant.

"This time, we have no retreat. It is enough to kill one devil, and it is enough to kill two."

Liang Xiao said.

"Boss, the brothers all came out of the hail of bullets with you. Since the Battle of Shanghai last year, there have been more than a dozen battles, large and small. Whenever we lost, it was the little devil who was planted again and again. In our hands, this time, we can still kill the little devil and turn his back on his back alone."

Sun Bingdao, Commander of the Special Warfare Division.

"That's right. Brothers follow you to kill devils. You have never been afraid. It's the same this time."

Cao Xian then said.

"Everyone, we are all soldiers. It is the bounden duty of a soldier to protect our home and country. This time, when the war breaks out, I will move the garrison headquarters to Hangzhou. I will be on the front line and advance and retreat with you."

By doing this, Liang Xiao is also taking the lead and motivating the morale of his subordinates.

"Chairman can't......, you have a heavy responsibility, how can you move the army to the front line, you can stay in the city to command, and leave the charge to us."

Zhou Shiji patted his chest and said.

"Yes, you are from the Jiangnan area.

You can risk yourself."

Cao Xiandao.

.........The military meeting ended, and Liang Xiao called the officers of the military intelligence department to a meeting.

The purpose of this meeting is only one, to use all intelligence forces to collect information for the upcoming spring war.

"Secretary, according to news from Tokyo, senior generals from the Japanese base camp inspected the Third Fleet of the Navy, and, at the port of Tokyo, our intelligence officers saw Japanese soldiers carrying a large amount of supplies onto the ship."

Way of Walker.

"News from Tokyo"

Liang Xiao was slightly surprised, he didn't remember that he ever sent intelligence agents to Tokyo.

"The humble job selected a group of intelligence officers who are proficient in Japanese from among our intelligence personnel, and gave them Japanese household registration certificates, and asked them to go to Tokyo to establish an intelligence point. This time the intelligence is... from them."

Way of Walker.

"Kezhi, this matter is well done. I have long intended to send an intelligence team to Tokyo, but I have been busy with military affairs and haven't spared time. I didn't expect you to make arrangements."

Liang Xiao said happily.

"It's all a matter of humble duty."
