Chen Mingxiang had no hope for the victory or defeat on the battlefield in Henan Province. The opening also showed that the headquarters of the First Theater Command did not have the determination to fight to the death and protect the territory and the common people. A Japanese brigade could conquer an important city like Shangdu. , It explains the problem.

In terms of tactics, there have always been cases of showing the enemy to be weak or avoiding its edge, and then introducing an ambush circle to encircle and wipe out or occupy favorable terrain to block. The battlefield situation in Henan proves that this is purely thinking about it. Cities and counties, see how fast this is!

It cannot be said that the troops in the first theater did not resist. In fact, many troops fought very bravely. Unfortunately, the command in the first theater was too corrupt and wanted to run without fighting, completely ignoring the local people and being robbed by the Japanese. And killing.

Chen Mingxiang focused all his energy on collecting intelligence on the battlefields in Central China. What he did not expect was that this time it would be much smoother than collecting operational intelligence from the North China Front. The reason is simple. The operations of the 11th Army Command The plans were sent to the headquarters of the 13th Army and the navy.

In view of the importance of this war, when the 11th Army begins its offensive, the 13th Army Command will also take auxiliary actions, while the Japanese Navy needs to provide assistance for the logistics and personnel transportation of the dispatched troops. Is the transportation plan.

Chen Mingxiang was an acquaintance of the Marine Corps Command. He didn't need to check his documents when he came to the gate, and he didn't need to notify him.

In fact, the status of the current Japanese navy's fleet in China is very embarrassing. Large warships have been emptied. Even the infamous cruiser Izumo has also been transferred back to China as a training ship. The ship is currently in China. , There are several destroyers and several gunboats, patrol boats and demining boats.

Think about how majestic the Japanese navy stationed in Shanghai back then. Now, it was launched in the 23rd year of the Republic of China, equipped with three 120mm main guns, nine 25mm high-altitude guns, equipped with an electric gun commander and sonar. The Uji gunboat, which has a speed of 20 knots and a displacement of 1,350 tons, has become the flagship of the patrol fleet on the river. It must be said that it is a kind of sorrow of the sunset.

Not only the warships, the first Chinese fleet and the third Chinese fleet were relegated to special bases, and only the second Chinese fleet in Gangcheng was retained.

The Marine Corps Command of the Shanghai Stock Exchange has also fallen into an awkward situation. It has no combat missions and will not be transferred to the battlefield by the dispatched army headquarters. This is a navy force, originally elite, but now it is a garrison.

"According to the instructions of the base camp, the transportation vessels of our China Fleet, including several newly recovered from you, have all been invested in the work of transporting materials for the army. According to the regulations, the mission will end before May 23. "

"I judge that the attack time of the Eleventh Army should be around the 27th. This is the day when Marshal Togo Heihachiro of the Imperial Navy defeated the Russian navy. It is also a naval festival."

"In particular, the 22nd Division, stationed in Jinhua, Zhejiang Province, should be transported by sea to Yangcheng to participate in the coordinated operations of the 23rd Army, and be combined with the 104th Division and the 22nd Brigade independently. Combine with the independent 23rd brigade and attack the province together."

"The 23rd Army’s offensive time should be from late June to early July. The first thing to do is to cope with the offensive of the 11th Army. If the 11th Army fails to win in Tanzhou, then they will take down Hengzhou and Yongzhou. Offense is meaningless."

"Look at the imperial navy. In China, we have become the level of attacking the army. It has only been five years, just five years!" Ono Dazuo said in a low mood.

Five years ago, the Japanese navy was rampant on the rivers and coasts of China. The navy of the Yamashiro government was completely lost, and there was no comparable force. The same was true for the air force. Ono Osa, who had witnessed a glorious period, couldn’t help feeling sad. From the heart.

"Ono-kun, at the 56th National Congress of Yamamoto, he strongly opposed war with the United States. Facts now prove that he was very visionary at the beginning. It was not that the imperial navy did not work hard, but that the strength of the two industrial countries was too far apart. You don’t have to blame yourself."

"The strategic offensive of the dispatched army is basically carried out on land. The naval gunboats and gunboats are not effective. Everyone serves the empire and can do their best. This also shows that our navy is still important. Role." Chen Mingxiang said.

Since the United States entered the wartime economy, the speed of building ships is astonishing, especially the aircraft carrier that determines the navy’s victory or defeat. The launch of one ship a week at the fastest time made the Japanese navy desperate.

In fact, most of these aircraft carriers are escort aircraft carriers. They are modified with commercial ships, not aircraft carriers in the strict sense. Even so, Japan does not have such a speed. It is impossible to transform them with commercial ships. Need industrial foundation as support.

"Chen Jun, you don’t know how much our pressure is. Now the battle situation is getting more and more tense. When the domestic Marine Corps is fighting the United States, we are fed and have nothing to do every day. Other Marines call it the best. Safe Marines, this is a shame for the Marines stationed in Shanghai."

"However, many officers and soldiers who submitted applications to go to the battlefield were rejected by the Military Order. The Shanghai Stock Exchange is also an important part of the war. Our task is to guard this place and guarantee the supply of military supplies for the war." Shimada Nakasa Said.

When Chen Mingxiang was in the Marine Corps headquarters, he felt a deep depression. He took a happy mood and ate lunch at the headquarters. Then he returned home. He found that the relationship between the Marines had already Use it to the extreme.

"In the future, the so-called Huaxia fleet can no longer give me much valuable things, in other words, they have also lost their value. Without the fleet, without combat aircraft, military operations can no longer participate, just wait when Japan When will the defeat in China end?"

"As for the smuggling transactions between the Huatong Trading Company and the Kuomintang Controlled Area, I think we can step up the time to stock up. When the second phase of the war breaks out, the purchase and transportation of materials in various places will be greatly affected. At this time, we should not offend Japan. people."

"You give me an order to the Intelligence Division to secretly investigate the situation of Kodama’s agencies, especially the wealth that Kodama and Shifu robbed in the Shanghai stock market, where are they stored? These are all of our China. He brought it to Japan." Chen Mingxiang said.
