Chapter 336: Shun Takeshita, the fortune teller
Chaoxiang Xiuling was eating the candy that Fan Xiaoyu gave her.
After swallowing the candy, Zhao Xiangxiuling shook her head slightly; "I can't do anything. After all, you can't add another layer of fortifications on top. The troops here must fight in the open air."
Fighting in the open air will certainly increase the death rate, but this is the best defense. As long as the shells don't fall here, there won't be any big problems for the artillerymen fighting inside.
Also, when the battle started, the ships coming in from behind would have been sunk by this side, and the panic of the Japanese army would also give this side an opportunity to seize the opportunity.
Zhou Weiguo's eyes fell on Captain Bao's face; "Captain Bao, if a fight breaks out, I'm afraid you'll suffer a lot of losses..."
"Even if we all die in battle, as long as we can save them, there is nothing to be afraid of." Captain Bao's calm words made Zhou Weiguo admire him very much, but when he thought of the tragic situation after the battle, he didn't know what to say.
Chao Xiang Xiuling sighed, "We can't do anything. You go find the commander and ask the air force to send out some. Anyway, by then the place will be in chaos. If the air force comes over, they can drop any bombs on their decks to disrupt them. Besides, the area is so small that they have limited room to move. If there are still mines, dropping mines from above will also kill some of them when a battle breaks out."
Normally he can clear the mines, but when a battle breaks out, who can really take care of so many things?
That was two destroyer squadrons and a number of gunboats and transport ships.
"That makes sense. I'll go find the commander right away."
Zhou Weiguo wanted to plot against the navy and even planned to seize their ships. Such a feat naturally required Yu Huohuo to come and watch. He came here this morning because the secret service reported that the enemy's fleet had arrived in Anqing and would come tomorrow.
Yu Huohuo, who was standing in front of the map, saw Zhou Weiguo coming in, and he threw the pencil in his hand on the map; "Has the person who will blow up the enemy's last ship and block the alley come out?"
In order to successfully blow it up, the only way is to swim into the ship, then stick the waterproof time bomb on the bottom of the ship and use the TNT explosives inside to blow it up.
This plan was proposed by Ono and decided after discussion between Zhou Weiguo and Captain Bao of the Second River Defense Battalion.
"Commander, most of our people are landlubbers, so the Second River Defense Battalion is in charge of this matter. They have organized a death squad. When the enemy ships arrive, we will not rush to attack, but wait until their actions are successful before launching a full-scale bombardment."
"It is said that everyone has their own specializations. It is best to let the navy handle this matter." Yu Huohuo took a sip of tea; "I have secretly transported the heavy artillery. Although it is not as good as the 200-plus millimeter coastal artillery of the river defense battery, it is at least heavy artillery. In addition, I personally went to Commander Bai and asked for a batch of bed armor-piercing shells to make up for the lack of firepower of the No. 2 battery."
The Battle of Wuhan, the Battle of Madang Fortress was just an episode, but it was an important part of the Battle of Wuhan. Commander Bai was ordered to command five armies centered on the Madang Fort, plus four independent brigades, five local security regiments, the 1st, 3rd, 4th, and 6th Air Force Squadrons, and the Navy Jiang Defense Squadron, and was fully responsible for the defense of the Madang Fortress and troop mobilization.
"General, that's a good idea." Zhou Weiguo came up to him with a thumbs up. "General, if the battle breaks out, can you ask Commander Bai to mobilize the air force to the maximum extent possible to bomb the ships on the river to relieve the pressure on us?"
With the assistance of the air force, the artillery will not suffer any loss in the battle, especially the temporary artillery built this time, at least it will not be bombarded by them.
Yu Huo Huo lit a cigarette. "Okay, I'll ask my adjutant to go over there later." Yu Huo Huo put down his teacup and looked up at Zhou Weiguo. "Everyone under you is talented. Don't you think the navy's actions are strange?"
"Nothing strange." Takeshita Shun waved his hand and interrupted Miyamoto's question. In order to test the radio capabilities of the squad, Miyamoto asked them to monitor the radio station in the direction of Madang.
As a result, it seemed that the connection with the 74th Army was suddenly cut off. He could not intercept any telegrams, and even did not send any telegrams. He was very surprised and confused, so he came to talk to the captain about it.
"Captain, do you know why they don't contact each other?"
"It's very simple. They have deployed a huge network. The radio stations are frequently used. What if they are exposed?"
Everyone's detection methods are not vegetarian. The secret code department in Wuhan and the secret code class of the Special High Technology Department are not idle. In addition to eating and sleeping, they have to decipher the other party's radio station. And this most primitive method happens to be the most effective way of protection.
"Our reconnaissance planes and the agents over there, couldn't they see anything?" According to the captain, they had already deployed a big trap there waiting, so why didn't the agents and reconnaissance planes notice anything?
"That's even simpler. They won't tell you even if they find out." Takeshita Shun laughed twice. Seeing Miyamoto Shigeru's confused look, he raised his hand and knocked him on the head. "There have always been many conflicts between the Navy and the Army because of the issue of military expenditure. Neither side is willing to give in to the other. The situation has escalated to the point of an irreconcilable hatred of killing one's father."
Also, I heard that the commander of the 3rd Fleet went to the 11th Army Headquarters. That person didn't go to embarrass the 11th Army. He wrote the three characters "Takeshita Shun" backwards.
In this attack on Wuhan, the navy was only a supporting force. Their air force was in the Shanghai area and did not come here. The army was responsible for reconnaissance.
"The 11th Army Headquarters must be out of their minds. He will tell him about this. Who knows, they are probably hoping something bad will happen over there. They might even be holding a celebration banquet."
"Celebration... celebration banquet?" Okamura Neiji's adjutant felt that he had heard it wrong.
Just now, he heard something. The general asked him to order a banquet and thirty tables.
What is this going to do?
Celebration party. Celebrating who?
Are we celebrating the annihilation of the Hata Detachment in the Pingyangba area, or are we celebrating the failure of the 11th Army's attack on the Madang Fortress? How shameful.
Rather than calling it a celebration banquet, it would be better to call it a summary seminar.
"Yes. The navy is attacking the Madang Fortress this time. It seems that they are determined to win. In any case, they all belong to the imperial army system and serve Your Majesty. There is no difference between their victory and our victory. Therefore, it is reasonable for us to celebrate their victory, isn't it?"
Okamura Neiji's sinister smile, no matter how you look at it, is not to celebrate the Navy's success. Instead, it is to celebrate the Navy's subsequent failure.
As for the Madang Fortress, according to the information sent by the reconnaissance plane and the agents, they changed their deployment. As for the specific changes, no one knows, but one thing is certain, that is, it is a trap. However, this information was concealed by the general in front of him.
"General, you really...really have to do this." This...is not appropriate.
