    The final encirclement is about to begin, and the various units of the Eighty-eighth Army began to mobilize under the order of Zhou Weiguo.

    At the same time, the Logistics Department continued to transport countless weapons and ammunition to the front line. This battle can be said to be the final decisive battle.

    This time Zhou Weiguo mobilized nine infantry divisions, one heavy artillery division, more than 800 Zero fighters, more than 400 dive bombers, and 75 heavy bombers.

    There are nearly 200,000 soldiers in the whole army. 200,000 people want to launch a counterattack against the 300,000 or so Japs. This makes the whole country wonder what Zhou Weiguo relies on to allow him to defeat with 200,000 troops.  Three hundred thousand little devil.

    The key is the Shanghai area, which is supported by the Japanese naval guns.  If they were inland, judging from their past performance against the Eighty-eighth Army, it was not impossible for 200,000 to defeat 300,000, and it was very possible.

    But when the little devils are supported by naval guns, they feel in danger.

    To this day, the soldiers who came off the Songhu battlefield last year still remember the terror of the Japanese naval gun support.

    With one shot, a company or even a battalion of soldiers disappeared in formation.

    The horror of this kind of naval gun support still remains in people's hearts to this day.

    Even under such circumstances, Zhou Weiguo still insisted on regaining Shanghai.

    This puzzled many people. They didn¡¯t know where Zhou Weiguo¡¯s power lay.

    "Chief! Are our entire army going to Shanghai this time?"

    Yang Jie was in the headquarters, looking at Zhou Weiguo sitting there smoking, and asked thoughtfully.

    Zhou Weiguo glanced at him and then said softly: "Yes! The entire army will attack Shanghai! Shanghai is an important window for our country to the outside world, and its geographical location is very important.

    We must take back Shanghai, and the Japs have gathered an army of 300,000 in the Shanghai area. We cannot let these 300,000 Japs stay here.  "

    "Chief Officer, have you ever thought about the problem of the Little Japanese Navy?"

    Navy!  This is a pain for China, and it is also an unavoidable problem.

    Even if no one wants to bring up this topic, this problem cannot be avoided by recovering Shanghai.

    "If the little devil's navy is deep in the sea, I really have no way to deal with him! But since he dares to get close to the coast, I have a way to deal with him!

    My Chief of Staff, don¡¯t worry!  I already have a solution for the little devil's navy!  "

    Zhou Weiguo smiled and pressed Yang Jie on the chair.

    "What can we do? Sir, I'm not saying too much, this question is really unavoidable. In last year's Battle of Songhu, the reason why the Japs were able to defeat us was because their navy was a very important factor!"

    Yang Jie frowned and said, he was right.

    Last year¡¯s Battle of Songhu, the little devils wanted to thank their navy.  The Battle of Songhu was the early stage of the Anti-Japanese War.

    ??The elite troops sent by Shangfeng at this time were German weapon divisions, and the replacement soldiers were all high-quality soldiers who had undergone long-term training. Unlike the middle period of the Anti-Japanese War, the level of replacement soldiers was very poor.

    Although the Imps are elite, the German weapons masters at this time are not bad in combat effectiveness. It¡¯s just that the Imps¡¯ naval guns are too sharp, and they use naval cannons for bombing without any psychological burden at all, and they don¡¯t worry about accidentally injuring civilians.

    That¡¯s why the national army was defeated so miserably in the end!

    "I know this. I came down from the Songhu battlefield last year. I naturally know how powerful the Japanese naval gun support is! But this time I am going to use dive bombers to deal with the Japanese navy!"

    This was already planned by Zhou Weiguo.

    To be honest, using dive bombers to deal with the Japanese battleships is not very effective. In the absence of torpedo planes, the damage caused to the Japanese battleships is limited.

    But dive bombers are definitely a weapon against the Japs¡¯ aircraft carriers!

    The aircraft carriers are thin-skinned, even if their Akagi and Kaga aircraft carriers were modified from other ships.

    But their deck armor is not that thick, and a heavy bomb will still penetrate their flight deck.

    As long as their aircraft carrier is injured, or even seriously injured, the Japanese navy fleet will definitely return or leave the coastline to avoid suffering losses again.

    As for the little devil¡¯s anti-aircraft firepower!

    Before the outbreak of the Pacific War, the Japs did not confront Citigroup. Their air defense firepower had always been very weak, and evenIt can be said to be in a state of display.

    Therefore, Zhou Weiguo had great confidence that by seriously injuring their aircraft carrier, he would force the Japanese naval fleet to cover the return of the aircraft carrier or even leave the coastline, and no longer approach the coastline to provide naval gun support to the Japanese army.

    "Dive bomber? Is this possible?"

    Yang Jie frowned and said!  Although there is no doubt that Yang Jie is very capable, he is still a little hesitant about the arrival of the aircraft carrier era, or he has no such idea.

    In fact, this is normal. Before the Pacific War broke out, who would have thought that this would be the last afterglow of the battleship?

    "Don't worry! You'll know when the time comes!"

    Time passes day by day, and the little devil is also actively preparing.  Sugiyama Sono did not expect that he would be beaten and forced to defend one day.

    Sugiyama Yuan is too arrogant. He still inherited his usual arrogance. The distance from Wuxi to Shanghai is very close, not far.  Their strategic space is narrow.

    Originally, he should not have made such a mistake, but it was just because of his arrogance that he believed that he could defeat the 88th Army with the army in his hands.

    Who knows, they will bleed on the front line in Wuxi, which will eventually cause them to lose their offensive ability.

    At seven o'clock in the morning on August 19, 1938, Wuxi front line.

    "Damn it, Ding Wei, why are you here? If you don't stay in your temporary first brigade and be your brigade commander, why are you here with me?"

    Li Yunlong looked at Ding Wei standing in front of him and asked with surprise.

    "Old Li! It seems like you don't welcome me! I'm here, you kid, just have fun!"

    Ding Wei walked into Li Yunlong's headquarters and poured himself a glass of water to drink.

    "Hey! You are so rude!"

    Li Yunlong curled his lips when he saw Ding Wei's appearance and said, although he said this, Li Yunlong didn't mean to blame him.  I am an old comrade-in-arms, and I have been an old comrade-in-arms for more than ten years. We all know the ins and outs of this, and usually these are just jokes.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
