An hour later, the troops who had gone out to investigate the reality came back and reported that the Japanese were scattered and surrounded from the left and right. Lin Junxiong hurriedly returned to the fortifications in front, called several battalion commanders over, analyzed the collected intelligence, and then said: "The Japanese army on the opposite side should be a brigade of about 1,000 people, which is the same as our number, and the Japanese army has an advantage in weapons and equipment. Therefore, we are also divided into three ways, the first battalion to the left, the second battalion to the right, the third battalion and I hold here, remember to be flexible and mobile, if the enemy is strong, then retreat to Jiading City, but also do not retreat blindly, to retreat while looking for sniper points to organize counterattacks, the Japanese army is not good at street fighting, so we have to use structures to destroy as much of their living force as possible, understand? ”

Lin Junxiong looked at the officers of several regimental headquarters again, and then said: "Lao Pan, you are with the 1st Battalion, Lao Wei and the 2nd Battalion, this is the first time that the 89th Regiment has fought head-on with the Japanese army, and we must fight beautifully, control the casualties of the troops, and at the same time annihilate as many Japanese troops as possible." ”

After the departure of the 1st and 2nd Battalions, the Japanese troops in front tentatively launched two offensives, and after encountering fierce resistance, they quickly retreated.

Lin Junxiong observed the movements of the Japanese army through the binoculars, and suddenly, he saw that the Japanese soldiers gathered together seemed to be singing something, and he immediately asked Zheng Ming to inform the troops to leave the fortifications and disperse to both sides. As soon as the troops dispersed, countless shells fell on the fortifications, and after several rounds of shelling, the previously fortified fortifications almost lost their effectiveness.

When the shelling was sparse, Lin Junxiong took the lead in rushing back to the fortifications and organizing a counterattack. The Japanese army continued to attack, falling in a wave, and then coming up again, and Lin Junxiong finally understood that what he saw in the telescope was the Japanese army singing to boost morale, ready to charge desperately.

The Japanese troops on the front suffered heavy casualties, and while attacking, they waited for the outflanking troops to attack, but they were desperate, because there were also gunfire on the left and right, and their plan to outflank and encircle failed.

On the left, Pan Zhiyang and the first battalion had already found a housing area north of Jiading and set up an ambush, and when a squadron of the Japanese army groped over, there was a fierce fight, and the Japanese army retreated in a hurry, only for the defense of the stronghold, and there was no way to take the initiative to attack.

After a fierce exchange of fire between the two sides, Fang Yun, the commander of the second battalion, decisively led the troops to retreat, scattered to both sides at a T-shaped street entrance, and after the Japanese chased after them, they attacked on both sides, and the Japanese army was defeated and retreated, so that they could only retreat to a high ground to defend accordingly.

The captain of the Japanese army commanded the troops to withdraw and start defending, waiting for news from the two flanks, and soon the flanks also sent a message requesting reinforcements, and the captain threw the documents in his hand to the ground with some anger, and ordered the Japanese strongholds on both sides to defend and wait for reinforcements, and then he immediately sent a request for reinforcements to the headquarters of the sending army, claiming to have encountered the stubborn resistance of no less than one brigade of the Kuomintang army in Jiading.

An offensive battle launched by the Japanese army turned out to be a defensive battle for the Japanese army. Lin Junxiong knew that the Japanese army must be waiting for reinforcements at this moment, so he ordered an all-out attack, and then the two sides were deadlocked, and each battalion reported casualties, about 300 Japanese soldiers were annihilated, and more than 100 casualties among his own troops.

An hour passed, no matter how the 89th Regiment lured, the Japanese army was concentrated on defense, Lin Junxiong ordered the troops to retreat to Jiading City in an orderly manner, and prepare to block the attack step by step.

The Japanese reinforcements arrived half an hour later, and the reinforced Japanese troops were about two brigades, which quickly divided into three groups and attacked in three directions. The three battalions led by Lin Junxiong, Pan Zhiyang, and Wei Xin have each retreated, leaving only a small force to block the attack, but it also made it difficult for the Japanese army to march, and the Japanese army continued to encounter gunfire that did not know where it came from, and grenades that were thrown from nowhere, and at a distance of less than 500 meters, dozens of people were killed and wounded but did not see a single national army, and a wing commander in charge of the command was very angry and ordered the troops to first bombard the direction of advance with artillery before the infantry stepped forward.

The Japanese artillery bombardment shook the city of Jiading, which had long been empty, and after the shelling, only ruins were left everywhere, and the shelling also caused casualties to the blocking detachment, Lin Junxiong immediately ordered the detachment to withdraw, and at the same time ordered the whole regiment to attack, blocking and resisting the Japanese army in three directions.

The reinforced wing commander was very satisfied with his artillery idea, after the shelling, the advance speed of the troops increased significantly, and when the Japanese finally approached the city of Jiading, suddenly the sound of gunfire was heard from three directions, and the Japanese wing commander immediately ordered to meet it in three ways.

Soon the entire city of Jiading was shrouded in artillery fire, and the 89th Regiment began to divide into three waves to block the Japanese army, and soon dispersed to various streets in various areas, and the superiority of the Japanese army in numbers was revealed, and the blocking troops had to retreat under the fierce artillery fire and powerful fire of the Japanese army.

Lin Junxiong was a little anxious, if this unfavorable situation continued, the Japanese army would be able to force their troops out of Jiading City in half an hour at most, and instead drive straight into the defenders who threatened Luodian. He asked the guard platoon to convey orders to the battalions, so that the soldiers remembered the oath before the battle, and to delay the Japanese army at all costs, and insisted on organizing a retreat after the news came to the garrison in the direction of Luodian.

Soon, the soldiers of the 89th Regiment in various parts of Jiading City began to fight stubbornly and fiercely with the Japanese army.

In an alley in the north of Jiading City, two Japanese squads chased a battalion and a company and two platoons into a dead end, the soldiers of the second platoon ran out of bullets, and there was no fear in the face of several times the Japanese army, and then began to fight with the Japanese army with white knives, the fierce battle ended, the two Japanese squads were killed and wounded more than 70 people, facing the second row of soldiers who were like killing gods, the rest of the people hurriedly retreated, the second row of 35 people finally left only 15 people, and three of them fell down and died after the Japanese army fled.

The second battalion and the first company of the south fought with the Japanese on both sides of the river, the Japanese occupied the stone bridge on the river with the help of heavy artillery fire, a company of ten people formed a death squad to rush across the stone bridge, four people rushed into the Japanese army with explosives bags, and the remaining Japanese troops retreated in a hurry. In this battle, the Japanese army suffered more than 100 casualties, and nearly half of the company was killed.

After being knocked unconscious by Japanese artillery fire, a soldier of the 3rd Battalion found that his body was still hot when the Japanese army inspected the battlefield, and tried to stab him to death with a bayonet

The tragic scenes on the battlefield were being staged, and after Lin Junxiong arranged the team, he took the 8 people of the shadow team to the rear of the Japanese army.

A three-storey building in the middle of Anping Street, south of Jiading City, was a trading house before the outbreak of the war, and is now occupied by the Japanese army as a temporary headquarters. Lin Junxiong led the shadow team of 8 people to look at the small building at the end of Anping Street, looking at the Japanese officers coming and going, Lin Junxiong was sure that this should be the temporary headquarters of the Japanese army, and he gathered the shadow team after observing the neighborhood for a while.

"This should be the temporary headquarters of the Japanese army, now let's move forward a hundred meters to that corner, and then get a few sets of Japanese military uniforms nearby, everyone and I will see if we can get in, and then wait for the opportunity to take off the headquarters or hit them hard."

In Lin Junxiong with 8 people slowly forward, he continued to observe the situation on both sides, suddenly, a bright light flashed, Lin Junxiong looked at the sun, and then looked at the heights, the further he went, the stronger the inexplicable sense of crisis in his heart, when there were still more than 100 meters away from the temporary headquarters of the Japanese army, he waved his hand to signal everyone to stop, and after looking around, he immediately said: "Withdraw, I feel that we are being peeped at." ”

When they retreated more than ten meters, suddenly a few gunshots rang out, and then a gunshot also rang out from the roof, Zheng Ming was hit by a bullet from the roof, Lin Junxiong pulled him aside, looked at the wound, frowned and said: "This is a sniper rifle bullet, the enemy has snipers, quick, the two of you help Zheng Ming to go first, and the rest and I cover the retreat." ”

Soon, dozens of Japanese soldiers rushed out of the temporary headquarters of the Japanese army and surrounded Lin Junxiong, who organized several people to retreat while looking for cover and shooting. According to the speed of shooting and the number of bullets fired, Lin Junxiong analyzed that the Japanese army should have no less than four snipers ambushed on the roofs on both sides of the Japanese temporary headquarters, and they should be the Japanese army's secret sentinel just discovered.

Lin Junxiong retreated with a few people from the way they came, the Japanese army has been pursuing behind, and the number of people has increased from dozens of people at the beginning to more than 100 people, and after turning a few alleys, he met Pan Zhiyang, the deputy commander of the regiment, and shouted loudly when he saw Pan Zhiyang: "Regiment commander, quick, follow me, there is an ambush in the three battalions here." ”

Under the ambush of the third battalion, less than 30 people escaped from the Japanese army, Pan Zhiyang whispered to blame Lin Junxiong and said: "Regiment commander, you are too risky, if you want to make a mistake, how can I explain it to the above." ”

"It's okay, I just went to find out the situation, I originally wanted to take the opportunity to take out the temporary headquarters of the Japanese army, but I was discovered by the secret post there, except for Zheng Ming, who was shot in the thigh by an enemy sniper, everyone else is fine."

"Regiment Commander, I brought the people of the third battalion to look for you because Division Commander Feng called and asked us to withdraw to Anting."

"Ah, what's the matter, why do you suddenly have to withdraw to Anting, what about Luodian, you don't keep it?"

Pan Zhiyang sighed and said angrily: "Luodian is lost. ”

"What? Luodian lost? The first battalion and the second battalion sent someone to inform that there was no, and they had to withdraw quickly, Luodian was lost, and there was no need for Jiading to block it, and if we didn't retreat, we would be surrounded. ”

"I have sent someone to inform that the troops are assembled at Yangliupo, northwest of Jiading City," Pan Zhiyang said, handing the telegram from the division headquarters to Lin Junxiong.

Beginning on 23 August, the enemy's 3rd and 11th divisions, under the cover of intensive naval artillery fire, landed at Wusongkou Railway Wharf, Shishilin, and Chuanshakou, and attacked the Chinese positions in Baoshan, Yuepu, Luodian, and Fuzaobang. Zhang Zhizhong sent Wang Jingjiu as the commander of the former enemy in Songhu to command the troops under the jurisdiction of the 9th Group Army to resist the landing of the Japanese army. At the same time, the newly formed 15th Army, under the command of Luo Zhuoying, launched a counterattack against the enemy who landed at Baoshan and Chuanshakou, and the 98th Division repelled the Japanese army that captured Lion Forest on August 24, annihilating thousands of enemies. The 11th Division braved the heavy bombardment of aircraft to retake Luodian; Unwilling to be defeated, the Japanese army mobilized tanks, planes and heavy artillery to counterattack, and launched a tug-of-war around Luodian, and the defenders' positions changed hands several times. Huang Wei, who had just returned from Germany and rushed to the front, led the 67th Division to break through, and was immediately repulsed.

After reading the message, Lin Junxiong hugged his head in pain for a while, and then said slowly: "Let's also withdraw quickly." ”
