The promotion of an acting battalion commander was actually initiated by the Chairman himself.

Such treatment is very rare among the Chinese military.

Among the entire Central Military Commission, Wei Mingyang was probably the most difficult to transfer to his post.

The team he led has completely annihilated four Japanese infantry brigades, a cavalry regiment, a tank squadron, and an artillery brigade, shot down 35 enemy planes, completely annihilated the Japanese Navy's Third Fleet, and completely annihilated the Japanese Navy's Special Army Stationed in Shanghai.

The Sixth Battalion of the team captured twelve tanks, fourteen infantry guns, fifty-seven motorcycles, and countless other firearms.

Such military exploits led to his transition from acting battalion commander to official battalion commander.

If these military exploits were transferred to a student of Huangpu Military Academy, any one of them could be directly promoted to the third level; if these military exploits were concentrated on a student of Huangpu Military Academy, no matter which batch of students he is, he would definitely be directly promoted to a general.

Chairman Chiang walked into the Military Committee Headquarters and said with joy on his face: "Everyone! The Japanese Navy's Third Fleet has been completely wiped out.

Lion Grove, Baoshan, and Wusongkou are all under the control of our army! The left wing army and the central army will next launch an attack on the remaining troops of the Japanese Third Infantry Division trapped in the middle in Luodian, Yanghang, Yunzaobin, and Jiangwan.

onslaught.

Strive to encircle and annihilate the Japanese Third Division!

According to the battle report of the 583rd Regiment: The 68th Regiment of the 5th Brigade of the 3rd Infantry Division of the Japanese Army has lost its combat effectiveness.

Of its four infantry brigades, only one squadron remains.

The cavalry regiment of the 3rd Division has been completely wiped out, and the artillery regiment has also been knocked out of an artillery battalion.

Its Sixth Infantry Regiment was also wiped out this morning, including an infantry brigade and three infantry squadrons.

The situation is very favorable to us!

Everyone, please express your opinions! How will we fight the next battle?"

When the Chairman spoke, his face was full of joy and his tone was relaxed!

When he spoke, Bai Chongxi listened carefully and at the same time placed the flag representing the national army on the sand table.

Gu Zhutong, deputy commander of the Third War Zone, looked at the flags representing the strength of both sides on the sand table.

The baton passed across the line of Yuepu, Baoshan and Wusongkou: "Commission! There is only one infantry regiment on this line.

They had to withstand attacks from the Japanese navy and reinforcements on the Yangtze River;

At the same time, it was also necessary to block the attack of the Japanese 19th Brigade, which was trapped in the middle, when it broke through.

Being attacked from both front and back, the strength of a regiment is absolutely not enough.

At least one division of troops is needed to block it here.

here……"

As he spoke, Gu Zhutong drew a line between Yuepu and Luodian with his baton: "We also need a line of defense here to block the Third Division's breakout towards Liuhe.

Tongjin also wanted to block the Japanese 11th Division's attack on Luodian, which was really urgent.

The trapped Japanese will fight tooth and nail, and the Japanese rescuing outside will fight tooth and nail. At least one division is also needed here.

The Wusongkou and Yunzaobin front lines are still in a stalemate stage a few days ago. The defense is feasible, but the counterattack requires at least one or two additional divisions.

The line from Luodian to Yunzaobin also requires one or two divisions.

Commission, based on this calculation, at least four to six divisions need to be supplemented to complete this battle."

These days, in order to prevent the Japanese from landing from Shizilin, Chuanshakou, and Zhang Huabin, the National Army has dispatched the Ninth Army and the Fifteenth Army to the south bank of the Yangtze River and established a new line of defense.

The generals present listened to Gu Zhutong's analysis and nodded one after another.

Chairman Chiang looked at Bai Chongxi: "Jiansheng! What do you think?"

Bai Chongxi nodded and said: "Minister He is right, if you want to completely wipe out the Japanese Third Division that entered the pocket, you need to concentrate your strength.

This time we can no longer cook a pot of raw rice like we did when we attacked the Japanese Marine Corps in Shanghai.

I suggest: mobilize the 71st Army, the 78th Army, the 8th Army, the 74th Army, the 44th Division, plus the 16th Artillery Regiment, a total of six infantry divisions, plus an artillery force

group.

No matter what, the remaining troops of the Japanese Third Infantry Division must be wiped out."

Cheng Qian pointed to the defense line of the left wing army Fushan and Changshu and said: "This way! The defense of this line is weak!

What if the 11th Japanese Infantry Division gave up the rescue and attacked directly, heading towards Jiangyin and Wuxi?

At the same time, their Navy’s Fifth Fleet is still in Nanpu, and there is a high probability that they will return for reinforcements.”

Bai Chongxi pointed to Wuxi and Changshu and said: "There are defense fortifications here, so there is no problem in holding on for a few days!

The Japanese Fifth Fleet will definitely look back for landing sites along Shizilin and Chuanshakou.

We can hand over the task of sniping the navy to the Second Battalion of the 583rd Regiment."

"Isn't it child's play to hand over the task of blocking a naval fleet to an infantry battalion?" Cheng Qian asked.

Bai Chongxi thought for a while and said: "Since he can annihilate the Third Fleet, he should also be able to annihilate the Fifth Fleet!"

Cheng Qian sneered: "Today they took advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness and won by surprise. They can use it once, but they can't use it a second time.

There won’t be another chance like this next time.”

After saying this, everyone in the entire military committee fell silent: This is a fact!

The reason why a legend becomes a legend is because it cannot be copied.

The miracle Wei Mingyang created today: annihilating the Japanese Navy's Third Fleet with a mortar will never be repeated again.

In fact, without the cooperation of the Japanese navy, Wei Mingyang would have no chance at all!

Cheng Qian analyzed: "If the Japanese warships were farther away than the mortar shooting range, the Wusongkou Fort defended by the 2nd Battalion of the 583rd Regiment would have been lost.

The enemy's Marine Corps and Infantry Brigade are attacking from two sides, and a team of only 60 people cannot resist it."

At this time, Bai Chongxi suddenly laughed: "I understand!"

The other generals were still looking sad, but he was smiling so happily.

Chairman Jiang's already downcast face broke out into a smile: "Jiansheng, tell me!"

The chairman of the committee spoke, but Cheng Qian stopped talking.

Bai Chongxi said: "Everyone! This Wei Mingyang's marksmanship is very good! Yesterday's report said that he can hit a mortar warhead about 600 meters away.

There is such a way to blow up the Japanese artillery positions."

This matter was already mentioned in yesterday's report. Chairman Chiang nodded happily: "This matter was mentioned in the report."

"He used mortars to hit airplanes! Blow up tank tracks and detonate enemy shells on battleships, which shows that his mortars are good at shooting.

From this, it can be inferred that he is actually very accurate in shooting.

What limits his performance is not the mortars, but the fact that he only has mortars in his hands."
Chapter completed!
