Take Taobao to fight against Japan

"It's up to us next! Tomorrow will definitely be an unprecedented bloody battle!"

After being awakened by the explosion, Wu Keren, Guo Rudong, Wu Tonggang, Wang Gongyu and others gathered at the command post in the air defense basement for a meeting!

This basement is only about 300 meters away from Xiaonanmen!

The expressions on everyone's faces seemed a bit complicated, the most worrying thing finally came, and the devils were more ferocious and crazy than expected!

Before the 67th Army settled in Qingpu, it was urgently ordered to rush to Songjiang with light clothes. Not only did it leave the army headquarters, but also couldn't bring more heavy weapons, so it rushed 60 kilometers in the rain.

In addition to guns, soldiers of the 67th Army only brought necessary bullets for a few days, and they didn't even bring more dry food.

And when they arrived in Songjiang, there was only one security brigade and hundreds of remnants of the 43rd Army stationed in the empty city!

Not to mention the supply of food and grass, even the residents, administrators, and police have fled the city. There are few vendors in the city, and daily life is very difficult!

Songjiang City was the resident of Songjiang Prefecture in the Qing Dynasty. It was built with a solid city wall. Because it is next to the Shanghai-Hangzhou Railway and Highway, and near the Huangpu River, it is a water and land transportation hub. It has its own military importance, but there are no defense fortifications in the surrounding area.

In order to prepare for a possible war, in 1936, the Jiangsu Provincial Government set up a special office in Songjiang, referred to as the Songjiang Special Area, and appointed Wang Gongyu, who led the police force to suppress bandits and had achievements in governance, as the commissioner.

After August 1937, 8, the Japanese devils began to focus on the bombing of Matsue Castle and the train station in the southwest of the city!

Not only were bombs continuously reconnaissance and dropped during the day, but also flare bombs were often used at night. As a result, the buildings in the city were seriously damaged, with bomb craters and downed wires all over the place, and the residents gradually fled.

The original permanent fortifications in Songjiang were just ancient city walls. After the exhausted 67th Army arrived, they hurriedly organized troops to dig bunker foxholes.

Although the 67th Army had one more day to rest and reorganize this time than in the original history, it was much better than just arriving in Songjiang in a state of wet clothes, empty stomach, hunger and cold, and severe decline in physical strength, and it was much better to fight the bloody little devils!

But there is still a serious lack of heavy weapons and ammunition supplies. Facing the menacing devils, they are at an absolute disadvantage and disadvantage!

It is definitely an extremely difficult task to stick to the order for 5 days. Maybe all the defenders will confess here!

Wu Keren ordered Zhang Wenqing's 108th Division to block the enemy in the west of the city, and Jin Kuibi's 107th Division went out of Xindongmen to face the northern enemy in the south.

The two army commanders Wu Keren and Guo Rudong, the commissioner Wang Gongyu and the chief of staff Wu Tonggang and other four people sat in the headquarters to command together, but naturally the opinions of Wu Army commander were the main ones.

At 11:8 in the morning on November 5th, just after dawn, the Japanese Kunisaki Detachment and the Sixth Division launched a general attack from Desheng Port in the east to Shihudang River in the west!

The two wings of the entire front spread out for about 30 miles, which was evenly matched with the main battlefield in the suburbs of Shanghai.

The 108th Division immediately engaged the Japanese army, and Liu Qiwen's 322nd brigade seized the No. 30 bridge. The enemy's artillery fire was fierce, and the gunboats on the river also cheered.

Bridge No. 30 is in the east of Shihudang Town, across the Xietang, which is a relatively large tributary of the Huangpu River, and can be used to drive gunboats.

Before dawn, Jin Kuibi reported to Wu that he had won the first battle.

The Japanese army was forced to retreat, but the 107th Division had difficulty advancing and fought hand-to-hand.And handed over more than 400 Japanese military symbols, which were identified as the 6th Division.

A large number of enemy reinforcements arrived, and the artillery fire became more intense. The 107th Division suffered heavy losses and had to retreat to the north bank of the Huangpu River. The Liu Qiwen Brigade of the 108th Division still held on to the No. 30 Bridge, and the regiment leader Wang Xirui was killed!

The Japanese army attacked from multiple directions, and once approached the west gate of Songjiang, Xia Shuxun's 324 brigade fought fiercely at the railway station. In the southwestern suburbs of the city, the competition was fierce.

The Japanese army once again dispatched a large number of bombers to carry out carpet bombing, the most frequent in the afternoon, and it continued into the night without stopping!

Fortunately, all the residents in the city had already fled, and no large number of casualties were caused. The Songjiang headquarters was once shaken by bombs falling nearby.

The four anti-aircraft planes originally installed by the Songjiang City Police Force shot down three enemy planes that day!

When the situation was critical, Commander Wu personally went out of the city to supervise the battle, and the exhausted Japanese army stopped attacking until the evening.

Although the Japanese army detoured to Jinshan County and failed to bring the heavy artillery brigade, the Japanese gunboats and bomber fleets could still provide powerful fire support for the siege Japanese army.

The 67th Army, which lacked heavy weapons, suffered more than 7000 casualties in one day of fighting!

Chapter 216 Finally Survived

"Order all the troops to retreat! Wu Keren is ordered to stand firm until November 11!"

On the evening of November 11, after reading the casualty report, Commissar Jiang was silent for a long time, and finally waved his hands helplessly. The situation on the Songjiang battlefield was much more serious than expected!

If it continues to deteriorate like this, the entire Songhu battlefield will collapse!

Originally, I thought that the 67th Army would be stationed in Songjiang more than a day earlier to deploy defenses. In addition, the Japanese army did not have a heavy artillery brigade to follow with a large number of supplies. The pressure on the 67th Army would be greatly reduced, and the defense for seven or eight days would be more than enough!

However, the Kunizaki Detachment and the 6th Division, who were eager to find their place and make contributions, seemed to have gone crazy. They fought fiercely from dawn in the morning until dark in the evening before stopping!

Coupled with the fact that the devils still have a large number of gunboats and aviation regiments as fire support, the 67th Army, which lacks ammunition supplies and heavy weapons, has no power to fight back at all!

It took only one day to wipe out most of the divisions. If you continue to consume like this, it will be the limit to be able to hold on for 2 days!

"Ugh!"

After receiving the new defense order, Wu Keren heaved a sigh of relief. Generalissimo Jiang finally gave him a lifeline. He really didn't expect to fight so hard today!

I used to think that although they did not bring many artillery and heavy weapons, the 67th Army still has more than 2 people. With the Huangpu River defense line and city defense fortifications, there is no problem in defending it for five or six days!

However, today's battle made him lose his temper completely, and most of the division's troops were exhausted in one day!

Guo Rudong sighed with deep empathy: "The little devil's planes and naval guns are too powerful, and the biggest disadvantage for us is that we have no air superiority at all!

Before our 43rd Army fought a bloody battle with the devils for seven days and seven nights, more than 1 brothers fought and only more than 600 were left!That's miserable! "

"Thanks to the wise committee, if we continue to stick to it for 4 days, I'm afraid we won't be able to do it even if we kill them all!"

Wang Gongyu, Commissioner of the Administrative Office, has seen the power of the devils with his own eyes today. If it weren't for the iron will of the officers and soldiers of the 67th Army and their perseverance in fighting to the death, Songjiang City might have fallen into the hands of the devils now!

Wu Tonggang sighed softly: "Yes! I really don't know how the three or four thousand troops in Jinshan County can resist the Japanese devils for three days!"

As the 67th Army of the Northeast Army, I have participated in the Great Wall Anti-Japanese War before and fought against devils, but this time it is the real face-to-face toughness!

There is no harm without comparison. Yesterday they were still lamenting the bravery and tenacity of the Jinshan County defenders, and felt that since they could achieve such a record, they would not be too bad!

But the cold reality makes people shudder: this little devil is really too powerful!

On November 11, under the bombing and shelling of the Japanese army, the Songjiang defenders fought fiercely with the Japanese army all day.

At dawn, thousands of Japanese soldiers forcibly crossed the Huangpu River and launched a general attack on the 107th Division!

The 107th Division engaged in life-and-death battles with the Japanese troops crossing the river in Desheng Port and Baihe Port.

Both regiments of the 30nd Brigade guarding the No. 322 Bridge suffered heavy casualties, and the brigade commander Liu Qiwen was killed.Master Zhang Wenqing led the division directly under the team to supervise the formation, but was surrounded. Fortunately, Master Zhang was able to break through.

The enemy army detoured and approached the Xiguan Bridge. Xia Shuxun's brigade fought fiercely with it, and fought in street fighting on West Street, fighting house by house.Brigadier Xia was killed, and the fighting stopped until 9 pm.

During the fierce battle, the two army commanders Wu Keren and Guo Rudong and Commissioner Wang went to the front line in person. Wu Army commander took the lead in charging with a short gun and retreated more than a hundred meters from the enemy.

In the evening, the enemy army approached Xiaonanmen, less than a mile away from the command post, and the shouts of charging and killing could be heard in the command post. Commander Wu Keren dispatched the 319th Brigade of the Army Reserve!

Brigadier Wu Qian led his troops to retreat more than 2 meters from the enemy within 200 hours, but Brigadier Wu was seriously injured by a bullet in the abdomen.Army Commander Wu Keren once again went into battle in person, stabilizing the battle situation.

It was dark and the enemy was silent.

At this time, there were only about 3000 remnants left in the Songjiang city defense force, and the Japanese army had surrounded Songjiang city on three sides, and only the north gate was passable.

"Finally made it through!"

Looking at the vast night, Wu Keren felt extremely bitter. Today, he has tried his best, and even the last reserve team was pulled out to barely keep the Japanese army out of the city!

The remaining remnants might not even be able to stop the Japanese army's general attack. Thanks to Generalissimo Jiang changing the time, otherwise even if they were all dead, they would last for two or three hours at most!

In the original history, after the Japanese army landed at Jinshanwei, Songjiang Mansion did hold on for three days, but the 67th Army did not arrive at Songjiang Mansion until the evening of November 11, and withdrew from Songjiang at midnight on November 6!

In fact, it lasted a little over 2 days!

But this time, the Japanese devils suffered a great loss in Jinshanwei and Jinshan County. From the commander to every Japanese soldier, they were full of anger and murderous aura, so the intensity of the attack increased several times!

Therefore, the pressure and death suffered by the 67th Army became higher, and the two days of bloody battle were basically exhausted!

"If the earthen pot is not broken from the well, the general will inevitably die in battle! As soldiers, shrouding corpses in horse leather is our ultimate destiny!"

Guo Rudong is now basically a bare-bones commander. There were originally more than 600 remnants, but now there are only 60 or [-] left. Today, he personally went to the field to fight the Japanese army, and passed by the god of death several times!

"Haha, to be able to fight the enemy side by side with Commander Wu, Commander Guo, Chief of Staff Wu, and all the brothers of the national army! My Wang Gongyu has no regrets in this life!"

Wang Gongyu, the commissioner of the administrative office, raised his head and shouted loudly. Although he was only a literati, he had a brave and loyal heart!

After completing the task of defending the city, Wu Keren notified all the troops to prepare to retreat!

At midnight on November 11, the Songjiang defenders began to retreat across the board. Wu Keren first let the 10rd Army retreat from the north gate, and finally Wu Keren and Wang Gongyu walked arm in arm!

In the past 4 days, the two have formed a life-and-death friendship, and there are many bomb craters on the road when it is dark, and they support each other to facilitate actions.

Just when Wu Keren quietly withdrew from Songjiang City, the provisional headquarters of the Japanese army across the river was another scene!

"Yo Xi, you've done a good job! We will be able to capture Songjiang completely before noon tomorrow, and the next thing will be easy!"

Yanagawa Hirasuke pushed his glasses proudly. Although more than 2600 people were killed in the bloody battle for two days, he regained his confidence. The entire Songjiang City is already in his pocket!

Moritake Tanabe nodded proudly and agreed:

"The 67th Chinese Army has been completely disabled. When we capture Songjiang City, not only will we be able to cut off the back roads and transportation hubs of the Chinese army, but we will also be free to deal with the remnants of Jinshan County!"

Liu Chuanping's eyes were fixed and he said: "Is there any latest battle situation in Jinshan County?"

Tanabe Shengwu replied: "Jinshan County is very calm, the Huaxia army is completely retreating and defending, and there is no sign of breaking through at all! The left-behind wing has made several tentative attacks, but was strongly blocked by the Huaxia army!

I think they are determined to stick to Jinshan County! "

"Yo Xi, we must not let them run away! Our intelligence personnel are verifying Yang Fan's whereabouts. If Yang Fan is personally commanding Jinshan County, no matter how much we pay, we will wipe out the Huaxia Army in Jinshan County!"

Liu Chuanping's eyes were fierce, not only because of the unprecedented damage suffered in the Jinshan area, but also because of Yang Fan, a confidant who made the Japanese army hate him!

"Hayi! Your Excellency, Commander, is wise. Although Yang Fan has only one independent division now, his threat is no less than that of a group army!"

Tanabe Shengwu thought it was true and nodded, if Yang Fan could be killed in Jinshan County, even if it cost another 1 casualties, it would be worth it!

It's just that Yang Fan is not a fool waiting to die, at this moment he has already led the team out of the city through the tunnel!

Chapter 217

In order not to let the Japanese army's supplies and heavy artillery brigades easily get through, and to allow time for those seriously injured brothers to stabilize their injuries, Yang Fan led his troops to continue to stand firm in Jinshan County for two days!

It wasn't until 11 o'clock in the morning on November 10 that Yang Fan organized his troops to leave the city through the tunnel dug long ago!

Getting out of a "grave bag", Wang Liguo took a breath of fresh air comfortably, and turned his head to look around, only to see shadowy grave mounds all around, which looked extremely intrusive!

In order to deceive people, the exit of the tunnel was located in a cemetery outside Jinshan County!

This place is usually inaccessible, not to mention that in the middle of the night, it is completely dead silent!

"Brother-in-law, you actually dug the tunnel to the outside of the city ahead of time? It's really surprising that the exit is set in this place!"

"Create a decisive victory thousands of miles away! Master Yang, you are simply the reincarnation of Zhuge!"

"Hey! Then there's no need to say, our master seat has always been unpredictable!"

However, after a short period of adaptation, Wang Liguo, Xie Kangquan and others extended their thumbs up and praised it, and it received rave reviews for a while!

Wang Liguo and others originally thought that Yang Fan would forcefully break through one night and start a life-and-death battle with the Japanese devils again!

However, Yang Fan once again swung a thousand catties in fours and twos, and easily bypassed the defense line heavily guarded by devils!

Rao Wang Liguo and others wandered around the tunnel network for several days without finding any clues, which made them determined to fight the devils to the end!

"People who have no long-term concerns must have near-term worries, but I am just prepared!"

Yang Fan smiled indifferently, then looked at Wang Liguo and Xie Kangquan and said, "We lost nearly 3000 people in the Jinshan defense battle. Brothers, you won't blame me for not telling me about this way out in advance, right?"

Wang Liguo quickly waved his hand and said, "Brother-in-law, what are you talking about! It's too late for us to be grateful to you from top to bottom, how can we blame you?

If you didn't take the initiative to stay and lead us to defend the city, let alone stick to the end, I am afraid that even if we are exhausted, we don't even want to hold on for a day! "

Wang Liguo is not being modest, but speaking from the bottom of his heart. He has learned a lot in this battle to defend Jinshan!

Xie Kangquan nodded and agreed: "Mr. Yang, I'm a vulgar person with no culture, but I still understand the principles of breaking the boat and putting it to death to survive!

Thanks to Teacher Yang for doing this, otherwise it would be really difficult for us to abandon all distracting thoughts and fight the devils to the end! "

Xie Kangquan said the truth, no one is willing to take the initiative to seek death if they can live well, if everyone thinks that there is still a way out, it will be difficult to ensure that there will be no distracting thoughts of "dead friends will not die poor people"!

And on the battlefield, the more afraid of death, the easier it is to die. Without the belief in a bloody battle to the end, the combat power cannot be fully exerted!

"Okay! Everyone can understand!"

Yang Fan smiled and nodded, and then continued: "Although we are temporarily safe, the entire western Shanghai area is full of devils, so the next action is still very important! What are your plans?"

"This! I really haven't thought about it! Before, I only wanted to kill more little devils, and I didn't even know if I would be alive for the next minute. How could I think about what to do next?"

"Yeah! I never imagined that I could get out of Jinshan alive like this! Master Yang, if you have any ideas, just say it, we will listen to you!"

Wang Liguo, Xie Kangquan and the others short-circuited their heads for an instant, and after much deliberation, they finally kicked the ball back!

"Come with me!"

After walking for a short distance, Yang Fan came to the edge of the cliff, and then pointed out with his hand: "The Japanese devils are attacking from all directions to capture Hangzhou, Jiaxing, Pingwang, Songjiang, Minhang and other areas!
