Beiyang reactionaries

Standing in front of the map, Shang Zhen said, "This battle will mainly focus on the air force and artillery units. Commander Yang (Yang Xianyi)."

"arrive."

Yang Xianyi is the deputy commander of the Air Force.

Yang Xianyi is personally responsible for air force operations.Originally, the air force and the army were different arms.But this time the commander-in-chief of the northeast front is Shang Zhen, and all troops in the northeast must accept Shang Zhen's command.

This includes the Air Force.

"I know that the Air Force officers and soldiers are very tired during this period. But then we need to rely on the support of the Air Force."

"Yes."

"Commander Lai (Lai Wenhui)."

"arrive."

"In this war, I set the direction of breakthrough in the direction of Dalian. I hope that Commander Lai will gather all the heavy artillery and infantry artillery that can be gathered for me, and with the cooperation of the air force, carry out large-scale bombardment of the Japanese positions. .I'll give Commander Lai one day."

"Yes."

"The Japanese army was ill-prepared for this battle. These days, the offensive ammunition is also consumed. Therefore, our battle this time is to consume as much ammunition as possible. Lu Tao."

After Shang Zhen looked around, his eyes stayed on Lu Tao.

In this battle, because the Ninth Army rushed to the forefront, it suffered the most casualties.But Shang Zhen still chose the Ninth Army, because the Ninth Army was Shang Zhen's starting army.

Shang Zhen trusted the Ninth Army the most.

"arrive."

"You are the commander-in-chief of the front line, and let me observe on the front line. If the Japanese defense is not loose, then choose to attack carefully. If the Japanese defense line is under the attack of our space and artillery, and the position is loose, then attack me immediately. Attack their position quickly. You can grasp this situation."

"Yes."

Shang Zhen could not judge the situation of the Japanese army.

Military spirit?

This is a very delicate thing.Han Xin played Last Stand, and Xiang Yu played Last Stand, both of which have left their names in history and are admired by many people.But later generations don't know how many people imitated their methods, but the result is less success and more failures.

The same strategy, sometimes works, some people can use it, but some people will fail when they use it.

Shang Zhen needs to understand the current situation of the Japanese army.

Whether the current Japanese army is dispirited or has become a mourner, the fighting will is stronger.Shang Zhen needs to use an offense to test this point.

If they can be calm under large-scale air force bombing and artillery bombardment, can continue to maintain their morale, keep their positions, and maintain their combat effectiveness, it shows that the current Japanese army cannot be bullied.The current Japanese army is a mourner.

Take your time with them.

Slowly drain their ammo.

However, if the Japanese positions were bombarded by the air force and artillery and became flustered and lost their positions, then the situation would be very obvious.The Japanese army has been affected by the current earthquake, and their morale has been greatly affected.

If so, Shang Zhen will have to adjust a new battle plan.

It is necessary to continuously increase the strikes and completely destroy the psychology of the Japanese army.

"Okay, everyone, get ready."

"Yes."

"Commander Lai (Lai Wenhui), Commander Yang (Yang Xianyi), stay here for a while."

After everyone left, Shang Zhen said to Lai Wenhui and Yang Xianyi: "You two, what is the current ammunition reserve?"

"Not counting the artillery shells owned by the army, there are about [-] shells in the hands of our artillery force, which can last for a period of time."

Lai Wenhui replied.

Yang Xianyi also nodded beside him, but he still said: "If it is a large-scale bombing, then it will only be one or two times. At that time, we will be short of aviation oil and aviation bombs."

"I see."

Shang Zhen nodded.

He said to the staff officer next to him: "Send a telegram to the military department, saying that I need more shells, aviation oil, and aviation bombs. I hope the military department can solve these things quickly."

"Yes."

"You two, don't be stingy with bombs. Whether there are enough bombs and whether the logistics can be solved are the things that the military department should consider. For us, we are fighting besides war, so we can throw as many bombs as we have. What I want is the effect .”

"Yes."

"One day, I will give the air force and artillery units one day to prepare. I don't care how you prepare, you must prepare it within one day. If you need manpower, you can ask for it now, and I will discuss it with Commissioner Jiang. At this time tomorrow, wait for me. Order, drop me as many bombs as you want."

"Yes."

"Go get ready."

"Watanabe-kun, how is your situation here?"

1923 9 Month 4 Day.

On the fourth day after the Great Kanto Earthquake broke out, the Northeast battlefield was still stalemate.However, the battlefield has been relatively quiet these two days.The Japanese army that had been attacking stopped, and the Chinese army did not fight back.

In this way, a delicate balance is formed.

After the fight started on August 8, the two or three days were the quietest time on the battlefield.

"Not very good."

Watanabe Jotaro sighed.

Then he said: "Since the news of the earthquake came, although I have comforted a lot, the situation of the troops is still very bad. You go to see the positions, everyone is listless. But it is understandable. You also know that our division comes from Hokkaido, but in order to participate in the war, because it was too late to prepare, a lot of troops in the Kanto region were replenished. But whoever can, there will be an earthquake in the Kanto region.”

Watanabe Jotaro sighed.

Seventh Division.

It is a unit from Hokkaido, and its headquarters are in Hokkaido.It should have nothing to do with the earthquake.But because when the war broke out, the Seventh Division was not fully staffed, and it had just been withdrawn from Siberia for two years.In addition, the outbreak of this war was too sudden, and Japan had no time to replenish recruits from Hokkaido, the home of the Seventh Division.

Therefore, based on the principle of proximity, recruits were directly recruited in the Kanto region.Then came the Northeast.This is relatively rare in Japan.Because the Japanese army has always been where the troops are developed, and the troops will be replenished from there.It is said that the Sino-Japanese war broke out too suddenly, Duan Xun turned his face too quickly, and did not give Japan a chance to prepare.

But here lies the problem.
