Going in circles.

I haven’t been back to Shanghai for a long time. I need to take a good stroll.

Go to the concession entrance first.

Park your car near the entrance and silently observe the people passing by.

Red dots constantly appear on the map surveillance. Some are Japanese who reveal their identities. Some are Japanese in disguise. There are many of them.

Basically, it can be judged that the Japanese invaders are sending more and more personnel to Shanghai.

Including the concession, more and more Japanese invaders are infiltrating. Needless to say, the Hongkou Japanese War Zone.

"Are we going to enter the concession?" Dou Wanjiang asked curiously.

"No." Zhang Yong shook his head.

"Can you go into the concession?"

"Why are you asking this?"

"I have some brothers working as coolies in the concession. If possible..."

"Let's talk later."

Zhang Yong did not agree immediately.

He has no reason to enter the concession for the time being.

drive.

Quietly approaching the Hongkou Japanese War Zone.

Arrive near the checkpoint.

A national army second lieutenant came over with a serious expression.

Zhang Yong took out the ID of the Fuxing Society Secret Service. The second lieutenant read it and stood at attention and saluted.

"Sir, the checkpoint has not been unsealed today. It is not possible to pass through."

"I know. I won't go there. I'll just take a look here."

"yes."

The ensign officer backed away.

Zhang Yong got out of the car, stood beside the car, and raised his binoculars.

Hongkou Japanese War Zone! The outside is actually quite messy. The Japanese have not planned it well. There are many buildings built haphazardly.

Opposite the checkpoint, about fifty meters away, is the Japanese invaders' checkpoint. Japanese military police are stationed there.

Behind the Japanese military police were the sentries of the Japanese Marine Corps and trenches. A large number of sandbags were piled on them and barbed wire was also stretched.

You can clearly see the heavy machine gun firepower points deployed by the Japanese invaders. There are many of them.

Next to the heavy machine gun is the Japanese combat team. They are all Japanese invaders wearing helmets. They belong to the Japanese Marine Corps.

The Japanese invaders are also well prepared!

There is no sign of a major fight between the two sides now, and the Japanese invaders are already very vigilant.

Once the July 7th Incident breaks out, it is estimated that all Japanese invaders in the Hongkou Japanese War Zone will be on first-level alert. All Japanese invaders and expatriates will also be mobilized.

The Japanese invaders are definitely not short of weapons and ammunition. Therefore, any Japanese who can afford a gun will join the battlefield.

Commander Qian's statistics on the defense forces against the Japanese invaders may have neglected those Japanese expatriates.

They are also very fanatical. They have also received professional military training. Once they pick up weapons, they are all capable of fighting.

Of course, these are not the key.

The key is that the Japanese warships at sea will also come.

The Japanese invaders have cruisers and destroyers patrolling the outer seas. They can arrive at any time.

Later data show that the first two or three days of the National Army's offensive were relatively smooth. But starting from the fourth day, it became very difficult.

Why?

It was the Japanese warships that joined the battlefield.

The destroyer's 127mm naval gun and the cruiser's 203mm naval gun are very threatening.

One bombardment turned everything upside down.

The Japanese warships were anchored outside Wusongkou, and the naval gun range could easily cover the entire Hongkou Japanese theater. It could cover all attack routes of the national army.

This is very troublesome.

When the Chinese army does not have air superiority, a ground attack will simply lead to death.

How many people you have are not enough to blast them with naval guns.

Oh, it’s really troublesome...

Suddenly my mind moved.

Is there anything I can do?

Although you are a small person, you seem to be able to make a splash?

If it was a general reminder, no one would pay attention. However, if you include it in the information, maybe you can change it?

For example, let's make up some kind of plan, saying that the Japanese invaders will induce the Chinese army to attack the Hongkou Japanese War Zone, and then use cannons and giant ships to kill them.

It’s hard to say whether it’s effective or not. But it doesn’t cost much anyway.

As long as this plan can play a small role, you will have earned it.

Thinking.

pondering.

What's a good name?

Black hole?

Meat grinder?

Millstone?

It doesn't feel like it's to my liking.

Finally, after thinking about it for a while, I decided to use a name called "Chung Rice" - the Chung Rice Project.

Rice pounding, as the name suggests, means placing the grains in a stone mortar and pounding them with a pestle to peel or mash them.

For the Japanese invaders, it was very vivid to attract the Chinese army to attack, and then use cannons and giant ships to crush them.

The miserable national army was constantly being chopped into pieces.

When the casualties were the most serious, one division was wiped out in one day, and tens of thousands of people died in one day.

After the entire Battle of Songhu, the national army suffered more than 300,000 casualties. Many of the elite troops were almost wiped out.

Those miscellaneous armies, if a division goes up, they won't be able to withstand it for even half a day.

It's really cruel to pound rice.

In terms of pure combat effectiveness, the national army was completely crushed.

Keep thinking about it.

Throw it out now?

Of course not.

It must be done mysteriously and with a high level of confidentiality.

If the confidentiality level is too low and you can get it casually, Commander Qian and the others probably won't pay special attention to it and think it doesn't matter.

Zhang Yong can be sure that when formulating the battle plan, Commander Qian did not have the awareness to guard against sea attacks. But he may know nothing about the naval power of the Japanese invaders. Or he knows very little. He may not know about the Japanese invaders Eight Eight at all.

The fleet is awesome.

Because the Japanese navy rarely comes to China to show off its muscles. Therefore, 99.9999% of the Chinese people, including Chiang Kai-shek, have no clear idea of ​​the combat effectiveness of the Japanese navy. It is impossible to imagine that the strength of the Japanese navy at this moment is

Already able to enter the top three in the world.

After launching at the Yamato Hotel, I can even be steadily promoted to second place.

As for who has the strongest navy, it’s hard to say. The British and Americans may be almost the same.

The national troops who later participated in the battle could hardly imagine the artillery fire from the sea.

Attacking in a dense formation and encountering large-caliber artillery fire is a sure way to die.

For this rice-pounding plan, Chiang Kai-shek must have the money to command them and have a certain understanding of the Japanese aggressors' naval strength. Knowing this cannot be ignored. It must be taken very seriously. Otherwise, you will suffer big losses.

So, the question is, where to start?
