300. Shanghai Taiyuan has fallen

Since the three companies guarding Jinshanwei sent the first news of the Japanese landing from Jinshanwei, they stepped forward to delay the landing time of the Japanese army. Even though www.biquge.info was supported by more than ten heavy artillery, these three companies were still defeated by the Japanese and defeated.

Lin Feng launched a general attack, and 24,000 people, except for the heavy artillery regiment and rocket artillery battalion, all fought out of the fortifications, and directly beat the Japanese army back to the beachhead, more than 20,000 Japanese troops were surrounded, and tens of thousands of Japanese troops were shelled on the ship.

By night, the Japanese troops on the ground had been basically wiped out, and those who had not been wiped out had swam back to the boat. Lin Feng saw that the devil was driven into the sea, collected his troops and stopped fighting, prepared to eat and drink well and rest for one night, and fought again tomorrow.

Yanagawa Heisuke has already wiped and wiped with a katana, do you want to cut your stomach? The landing battle was a complete failure, with more than 20,000 casualties, more than 30,000 light and serious wounded, more than 30 transport ships destroyed, and countless pieces of equipment and materials lost.

Major General Tanabe Moritake, chief of staff, looked at Yanagawa Heisuke, whether you have to cut the ink to the ink, and take the responsibility, maybe we will be promoted to the commander of the Tenth Army, and then ask the base camp to send reinforcements, and the promotion will make a big fortune.

Just think about it, if you dare to say it, maybe Yanagawa Heisuke's mirror-like katana will poke a hole in himself first. We can't say it directly, let's say in a roundabout way, "General, after a day of fierce fighting, our army suffered heavy casualties and was no longer able to land on Jinshanwei, do you want to report to General Matsui Ishine and the General Staff Headquarters?" ”

Yanagawa Heisuke scolded a lot of Yaga Yalu and the like in his heart, and the conscience of the chief of staff was greatly damaged, if he told Matsui Shigen alone, then naturally General Matsui Shigen would report to the General Staff Headquarters, who made him the commander of the Central China Front, and he would also share this responsibility.

But what Moritake Tanabe said was to report to the commander of the Central China Front Army and to the General Staff Headquarters, doesn't this mean that we should take all the responsibility and commit suicide by seppuku as soon as possible to thank the emperor.

Just as he wanted to wave his hand to let Tanabe Moritake go out and give himself a quiet environment, the correspondent ran in, "Your Excellency Commander, Commander Matsui Ishine sent a telegram that the northern front has repelled the main force of China, and the battle line has been pushed back to the vicinity of downtown Shanghai, asking about the progress of our department." ”

Yanagawa Heisuke immediately refreshed, although we didn't make any achievements, but if you ask, we will naturally report to you, and then report up is your business, now we don't need to cut our stomach, at most we will be transferred back to the mainland.

"Report the battle situation of our unit to His Excellency the Commander and ask for tactical guidance."

"Hey!" The correspondent turned to deliver the report.

Tanabe Moritake's eyes narrowed, "Your Excellency, the troops on the northern front are not very sufficient, and it is impossible for Commander Matsui Ishine to send reinforcements." ”

Yanagawa Heisuke finally started spraying, "Yaga, you are dripping and dripping, and you have suffered such heavy losses today precisely because you have not fulfilled your duties as chief of staff." ”

Tanabe Shengwu is also on fire, you will be an outdated guy soon, and you will have to be transferred back to the local pension in two days, what are you doing here!

"Hey!" The official level crushed people to death, no matter how angry Tanabe Shengwu was, he didn't dare to talk back at this time, he was still the commander of the 10th Army, if he dared to talk back, kill himself with a knife and then report to the top that he was killed by a stray bullet in China, it would be an end.

"Niang Xipi!" Nanjing, the bald head was scolding his mother again, and the Japanese army landed in Jinshanwei, which caused the army's heart to shake, and the battlefield on the northern front of Shanghai was beaten in just one day.

Bai Chongxi persuaded: "Chairman and dissipate his anger, victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, we still have the Wufu line and the Xicheng line to defend, as long as the front-line officers and soldiers withdraw and enter these two defense lines to garrison, even the 30th army of the Japanese army will be difficult to overcome." ”

He Yingqin said bad news at this time, "The Japanese 5th Division, 20th Division, 109th Division, and Chahar sent corps to approach Taiyuan, and Yan Xishan, commander of the Second Theater of Operations, evacuated Taiyuan yesterday, and the camp of the Second Theater moved to Jiaocheng, and Steward Zhou (Prime Minister, you know) will also be evacuated tonight." ”

"Hmph, Yan Lao Xi'er doesn't even want the old nest." The bald head thought to himself that he probably couldn't even keep his nest, Nanjing was about to be attacked by Japanese soldiers, and it was time to consider moving the capital.

"The Japanese army is well-trained and well-equipped, if Yan Xishan does not evacuate and is surrounded by the Japanese army in Taiyuan City, it will not only lose his face Yan Xishan." Li Zongren said.

Yan Xishan is the commander of the second theater of the party-state, he was really captured by the Japanese army, but it was everyone's face that was lost, if Yan Xishan did not withdraw, it is estimated that the bald head would scold Yan Laoxi for not knowing the overall situation.

"Let Yan Laoxi worry about the second war zone, now on the Songhu battlefield, what are your best plans?" Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai are the money bags of the party-state, and they are also the gateways to Nanjing, and the bald heart is still here.

"Evacuate Shanghai and garrison the Wufu Line and Xicheng Line." Everyone has the same meaning, and there is no point in continuing to fight except for the loss of troops and generals.

"Then withdraw." The bald head sighed, and after holding on for so long, he still failed to get Western countries to sanction Japan, and it seems that this anti-Japanese war is really going to be protracted.

At the Third Theater Command, Gu Zhutong received a telegram to withdraw from the Shanghai battlefield, and he also sighed, more than 700,000 party-state elites were bloodied for three months, and they were beaten by the Japanese landing in Jinshanwei, and their previous achievements were wasted.

Let the correspondent convey the bald order to the former enemy headquarters, Gu Zhutong began to look at the map again, after Shanghai, except for the Wufu line and the Xicheng line, there is no danger to defend, and the Japanese army can directly attack the city of Nanjing, and this battle is becoming more and more aggrieved.

The Wufu line is a fortification from Wujiang County in Suzhou to Fushan in Changshu that is about 100 miles long, and the Xicheng line is from Wuxi to Jiangyin, and the fortifications will also reach 100 miles. From 1933, the above two lines of defense were designed, as well as the Zhapu to Jiashan Zhajia line, the Nanjing ring defensive position and the Sujia line from Jiaxing to Suzhou.

By the beginning of the Anti-Japanese War, the project had not yet been fully completed, but if the army could be well organized, it could also resist the Japanese army's easy invasion of Nanjing.

Chen Cheng received a telegram from the Third War Zone and sent a sigh of relief, which can be regarded as a result, and now he has been defeated on all fronts, and if he does not retreat, he will be wrapped in dumplings.

Orders were issued layer by layer and transmitted to all departments on the front, and at this time the group armies could no longer fully control the troops under their command, and they were beaten by the Japanese army, and the officers could not find the soldiers, and the soldiers could not find the officers, and it was a mess.

At dawn on 6 November, three divisions of the Japanese army and one Chahar sent troops to surround Taiyuan, hitting howitzers and field artillery to bombard the city wall in the northeast corner.

Fu Zuoyi, who guarded Taiyuan, was known for his good defense, but he only held it for three days, fought in Taiyuan on the 6th, and Fu Zuoyi led 3,000 remnants to break through on the 8th. (To be continued.) )
