Chongqing, Chairman Chiang Kai-shek's official residence.
Just as the eastern sky showed a hint of fish belly white, a rapid whistle sounded in the small courtyard behind the official residence. Upon hearing the whistle, the members of the Langya Brigade quickly got up and dressed. In less than two minutes, a team of more than a hundred people They had already finished gathering in the yard, and then started a whole day of training.
However, the officers and soldiers of the guard platoon were still sleeping soundly.
In the first few days, the officers and soldiers of the guard platoon tried to say goodbye to Langya, but after three days, no officer or soldier in the entire guard platoon, including Wang Dakui, the platoon leader, had such an idea, because in their view Come on, the officers and soldiers in the guard platoon are simply not human beings. They are each and every one of them more like animals.
Let’s not talk about anything else, let’s just talk about running. These animals are often fully equipped and go cross-country for 20 kilometers, and they run back and forth in less than a morning. How can this be done by human beings? There are also thousands of push-ups. If you don’t finish them within the prescribed time, you still have to eat dinner. What is this if not an animal
In the first three days, the guard platoon barely followed the training.
After three days, the Guard Platoon simply gave up. This one really couldn't be followed!
Not long after Lang Ya started training, Chairman Chiang also got up. Chairman Chiang has always had the habit of getting up early. Since the Lang Ya brigade came, he even skipped the alarm clock and would be yelled at by Lang Ya every morning. She was about to wake up, but Mrs. Jiang was a little bit dissatisfied about this, blaming Lang Ya for disturbing her clear dream.
But Mrs. Chiang was a political woman who knew the general situation, so she didn’t say it explicitly. She thought that the Langya Brigade would be stationed at the official residence for a while anyway. When the limelight passed, they would probably return to Shanghai. Mrs. Chiang really didn’t Knowing the dark thoughts in Chairman Chiang's heart, he never thought that Chairman Chiang would not allow Lang Ya to leave.
Chairman Chiang put on his coat and came to the balcony. Standing on the balcony on the second floor, he could see the Langya brigade running and exercising in the back garden from a high vantage point. He watched more than a hundred delicate Langya running around the back garden in perfect order. While running, Chairman Chiang couldn't help but look envious. How good is he to be young
With the sound of footsteps, the guard chief Wang Shihe quietly came behind Chairman Chiang.
"Where is Shihe?" Chairman Jiang knew that Wang Shihe was coming without looking back, and immediately said without looking back, "Has the arrangements been made at the Central Military Academy?"
Wang Shihe said: "Returning to the committee has been arranged."
As early as the first day when Langya arrived in Chongqing, Chairman Chiang and several close aides had made up their minds to let Leng Tiefeng use the 13th and 14th batch of military academy cadets from the Central Military Academy as the basis, supplemented by a small number of The elite grassroots officers have created a special force similar to the Wolf Fang Brigade, but completely belonging to the National Government.
"That's good." Chairman Jiang nodded and said, "Shihe, please remember that you are personally responsible for this matter. After this unit is trained, you will be responsible for commanding it."
"Yes!" Wang Shihe nodded seriously. He had already heard the implication of Chairman Chiang's message. Chairman Chiang meant that this special force trained by Leng Tiefeng was not affiliated with any war zone, or even It is not affiliated with the headquarters of the National Army and belongs to Chairman Chiang Kai-shek's personal guard.
Chairman Chiang made a few chest-expanding movements, and then said: "Also, we must pay close attention to the contact with the Langya members and the work of instigating rebellion. As the old saying goes, if you don't worry about the long-term, you will have immediate worries. Have you ever thought about it, if one day the little devil is beaten away by us, the party-state will definitely start to deal with the Communist Party. At that time, Wolf Fang will become the most deadly threat to the party-state, not only for myself, but even for everyone in the party-state. Even a high-ranking general may become their prey."
Wang Shihe nodded and said: "Speaking of the Japs and the committee, Boss Dai just called and said that their spies lurking in Tokyo have obtained reliable information. The Japanese Guards Division has completed its assembly, and there are still some people originally stationed there. The Seventh Division in Hokkaido has also arrived in Tokyo and is said to be going to Shanghai."
"What? Guards Division?" Generalissimo Chiang's expression suddenly became serious.
The Seventh Division is nothing more than one of the seventeen permanent divisions of the Japanese army, but this Guards Division is extraordinary. This is not an ordinary permanent division!
In fact, the seventeen permanent divisions of Little Japan are also divided into three levels. The Guards Division and the First Division are the first level, the Second Division, the Fifth Division and the Sixth Division are the second level, and the remaining The twelve divisions under it are third-class. Chairman Chiang once studied in the Artillery Section of the Japanese 6th Army Non-commissioned Officer School, and he still understands this.
Precisely because Chairman Chiang was familiar with the Guards Division, he was particularly surprised when he heard the news.
At that moment, Chairman Chiang asked: "Shihe, is this information reliable? Is the Guards Division really coming to Shanghai?"
Wang Shihe said with certainty: "At least that's what Boss Dai said. He will come over in person later and report the news to you in detail."
"Haha, okay, very good." Chairman Jiang's frown suddenly disappeared, and he became happy. While watching the training of Langya with great interest, he said, "The Guards Division is coming to Shanghai. , now it’s interesting, Shihe, this Guards Division is extraordinary, Xu Rui may suffer a lot.”
Wang Shihe asked: "Commissioner, is this Guards Division very powerful?"
"Of course it's awesome. You can guess a thing or two just by hearing its name." Chairman Chiang said herrily, "The Guards Division is the guard force responsible for protecting the safety of the Emperor of Japan. It is not only well-equipped, but also All junior officers are also selected from the 6th Army Non-commissioned Officer School and the 6th Army University."
Wang Shihe hesitated for a moment, then suddenly said: "Commissioner, from the current point of view, Xu Rui and the Songhu Independent Group still seem to know nothing about this. Otherwise, should we remind him? Let Xu Rui and the Songhu Independent Group have some knowledge in advance. A preparation?"
"Confused!" Chairman Jiang immediately reprimanded, "How can Xu Rui be informed of such a thing in advance?"
Wang Shihe immediately stopped saying anything, but he felt a little intolerable and disapproving in his heart. Langya and Xu Rui were indeed very powerful. After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War in the future, they would indeed become a fatal threat to the party and the country. The problem is, isn't the Anti-Japanese War still possible now? No victory? Is it too early to think about guarding against and dealing with Xu Rui now
If this thought leads to the country's destruction, wouldn't it be a small gain but a big loss
But Wang Shihe never said these words, and it was impossible for him to say them. In essence, Wang Shihe was a very emotional and measured person, otherwise Chairman Chiang would not have such trust in him. Because he was very measured, so Wang Shihe would never contradict Chairman Chiang on such an issue.
Chairman Chiang thought for a while and then said: "Shihe, you have been keeping an eye on the Langya Brigade for me these days and don't let them have any contact with people outside. I am very worried that there are undercover agents among the top leaders of the party and state. What if this undercover agent knows that the Guards Division is about to go to Shanghai and tells Langya the news? When Langya proposes to return to Shanghai, we have no reason to stop him. If he is detained by force, can he be detained first? Needless to say, even if they are detained, the idea of training our own Wolf Fang troops has come to nothing!"
"Yes!" Wang Shihe responded respectfully, "I understand my humble position."
However, Chairman Jiang was still worried and said: "Go down and make arrangements now."
"Okay." Wang Shihe nodded, turned around and left. Watching Wang Shihe's figure go away, the expression on Chairman Jiang's face gradually became colder, and he murmured: Xu Rui, Xu Rui, I want to see you this time Can you still escape this disaster? The Guards Division is extraordinary, extraordinary!
(Dividing line)
The Guards Division, which was rated as extraordinary by Chairman Chiang Kai-shek, really came to Shanghai.
Two days later, the Guards Division and the Seventh Division successfully arrived at the Jiangyin Fortress on a navy transport ship. Since the Jiangyin Fortress was occupied by the Japanese army, a lot of repair work has been carried out. To this day, the defenses of the Jiangyin Fortress are compared to those of the National Government. The period was even more perfect, and I don’t know who the Japanese army was guarding against
But this is the nature of a devil, and the properties of a prairie dog cannot be changed no matter how hard he goes.
The Jiangyin Fortress's own dock can berth the giant ship, so the personnel, materials and equipment of the Guards Division and the Seventh Division can go ashore directly, which saves the pain of trekking to the beach and landing.
In the afternoon of that day, most of the personnel, equipment and supplies of the Guards Division and the Seventh Division had already landed smoothly, and the temporary headquarters of the Twelfth Army was also set up in Jiangyin. Itagaki Seishiro fully absorbed Kawagishi Bunzaburo's This fool's lesson is to stop doing any tricks like dividing and attacking together.
Xu Rui is not a senior general of the National Army, so he should stop playing such tricks.
Seishiro Itagaki has commanded many battles, including the Battle of Xinkou, the Battle of Taiyuan and the Battle of Wuhan. Of course, it should be noted that the general framework of the Wuhan Battle was set up by Okamura Neiji, and he only executed it, but this This does not prevent Seishiro Itan from making basic judgments on the generals of the National Army.
In the eyes of Itagaki Seishiro, there are many senior generals in the National Army, but except for a few people such as Xue Yue, the rest of the generals are either mediocre or stupid. There are many capable people among the army commanders and division commanders below. It is a pity that The level is too low to affect the outcome of a large-scale battle for the time being.
Therefore, if a senior general of the National Army were to direct the Shanghai defense battle, Itagaki Seishiro would not mind launching a separate attack. He would dare to divide the troops into four, six or even ten groups, let alone two groups. ! And the more ways to divide the troops, the shorter the time required. In this case, why not do it
But if the opponent is Xu Rui, it would be extremely unwise to do so.
If I had to find one word to describe the battle plan formulated by Itagaki Seishiro for the Third Battle of Songhu, it would be simple and crude! Itagaki Seishiro's battle plan had only three steps.
