Shanghai: The First Warlord of the Republic of China

During these two days, Ye Yunfei asked Ding Li, Xu Wenqiang, Tan Xiong and others to evacuate the people in Shanghai.

Because a war is about to break out in Shanghai, and once the war starts, it will be extremely dangerous.

By then, the entire Shanghai will become a battlefield, and the people living in Shanghai will be in danger.

Therefore, Ye Yunfei asked Ding Li, Xu Wenqiang and others to evacuate the people of Shanghai as much as possible.

Of course, it is impossible for all people to be willing to leave Shanghai.

Because many people were born and raised in Shanghai, this is their home.

Even though they knew Shanghai was dangerous, they were unwilling to leave.

Ye Yunfei had already explained the actual situation and the specific degree of danger to them very clearly.

However, there are still a large number of people who are unwilling to leave.

He also said that he wanted to stay in Shanghai and live and die with Shanghai.

Of course, Ye Yunfei could understand these people.

He explained the actual situation to everyone.

As for whether these people leave or stay, the choice is in their own hands.

However, if these people choose to stay in Shanghai, Ye Yunfei will do his best to protect their safety.

Of course, there are also a large number of people who choose to leave.

For them, their own life is definitely the most important thing. As long as they are alive, everything else can be easily solved.

No matter what, he will definitely take care of whether they choose to stay or leave.

In addition, Ye Yunfei used these two days to strengthen the defense of Shanghai.

Especially the defenses on the dock.

The six main docks in Shanghai are all heavily reinforced, and almost all the forces are stationed in these six docks.

There were tanks, mortars, heavy machine guns and light machine guns on the dock.

There are warships in the port.

In addition, there are fighter jets in the sky.

In short, almost all military forces are stationed at six docks.

In addition, there are 1.2 million people.

There are six docks, each with 200,000 people. All of these people have defended the docks so tightly that they have almost become an iron barrel.

With such a large number of people and powerful firepower, it would be almost impossible to attack the dock.

Of course, even with this level of defense, there is no guarantee that the Japanese will be completely unable to attack.

Because the Japanese's firepower equipment is also quite powerful, and they have a large number of people.

Therefore, we can only say that their defense is already very good. As for whether they can hold on, it depends on the actual situation after the war begins.

……

Two days later, countless warships slowly appeared on the sea outside Shanghai.

These warships were so densely packed that they almost surrounded the entire sea surface.

The muzzles of all the warships were pointed at Shanghai.

At this time, on the warship.

A major general from an island nation came up to Kawaki Kihide and said, "Commander, our warships have been dispatched and are approaching the Shanghai Beach Pier."

"Commander, please give us the order as to where we should launch the attack."

Hearing this, Kawaki Guixiu glanced at Kitajima Ryuichi beside him and said, "Kitajima-kun, you know Shanghai very well. In your opinion, from which direction should we launch an attack on Shanghai so as to capture Shanghai in the shortest time and in the easiest way?"

Kitajima Ryuichi said: "Commander Kawaki, based on my understanding of Shanghai, to capture Shanghai, we must mainly capture the six docks on Shanghai."

"The six docks are Yangpu Dock, Changning Dock, Huangpu Dock, Jing'an Dock, Xuhui Dock, and Putuo Dock."

“These six docks can be said to be the most important and critical places in Shanghai.”

"If you want to enter and exit Shanghai, you must rely on these six docks. If you can't capture these six docks, you can't enter Shanghai no matter what."

"So, my suggestion is to capture these six docks first."

After listening to Kitajima Ryuichi's words, Kawaki Guixiu said coldly: "Of course I know that to capture Shanghai, we have to take those six docks. I'm asking you, which dock should be attacked first."

"Which of the six docks is easier to capture?"

Beidao Longyi said: "As far as I know, among the six docks, Yangpu Dock is a little remote, in the southeast corner of Shanghai."

"Besides, the terrain there is difficult to defend. If we want to attack, attacking from Yangpu Wharf should be a good choice."

"After taking over Yangpu Wharf, we can still reach Shanghai easily."

"So, I suggest that if we want to attack, we should attack Yangpu Wharf first."

Hearing this, Kawaki Guixiu frowned and said, "Yangpu Wharf?"

He thought for a moment, then asked someone next to him, "Yagyu-kun, have you found out about Longmen's guarding of Shanghai Beach?"

"How many people have they deployed at each dock, especially at Yangpu Dock, how many guards are there?"

The man called Yagyu-kun said, "Commander Kawaki, we have completely understood the situation on the Shanghai beach."

"Ye Yunfei and his men have deployed 200,000 people to guard each of the six docks in Shanghai."

"The same is true for Yangpu Wharf. There are 200,000 people resisting at Yangpu Wharf."

Upon hearing this, Kawaki Guixiu immediately frowned and said, "There are 200,000 people at each dock. Aren't they only 800,000 or 900,000 people in total? If there are 200,000 people at each dock, then their total force must be 1.2 million. Where did they get so many people from?"

He had previously asked someone to investigate the number of troops in Longmen.

The result of the investigation is that there are about 800 to 900,000 people in Longmen now, and they are distributed across most of Longguo, so it is impossible for all of them to come.

Even if all of them came, there would only be this much.

Now suddenly one million and two hundred thousand people appear. Where do these people come from?

The man said, "Longmen has been actively recruiting people recently. Their total military strength has reached one million."

"However, there are 200,000 soldiers guarding the area around Longmen, and they did not come to Shanghai. There are about 800,000 soldiers guarding Shanghai."

Kawaki Guixiu nodded and said, "So that's the case, but even so, that's only 800,000. There are still 400,000 left. Where did it come from?"

Eight hundred thousand is still a long way from one million and two hundred thousand...

The man said, "According to the intelligence we have obtained, the Republic of China warlords Yan Laoxi, Feng Yuxiang, Li Bai, and Long Han have also come to Shanghai. They each brought 100,000 people, a total of 400,000."

"Their 400,000, plus the 800,000 that Longmen originally had, makes a total of 1.2 million people."

"This is all their forces..."
