Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Great Army Pressed the Frontier

The 3rd Theater Commander's Department.

After Chen Cixiu, the commander-in-chief of the theater, learned the news that the Huben battalion had defeated the vanguard of the Japanese army, he nodded happily again and again: "At the critical moment, Yang Jing and his Huben battalion are still reliable!" ”

Luo Youqing on the side couldn't help but nod and praise: "Yes, this Yang Jing is really the blessed general of the party and the state, and the tiger camp under his command is also worthy of the word 'tiger ben', how lucky it is to have Yang Jing's department as our palace!" ”

Yang Jing originally came out of Luo Youqing's 15th group, so his praise for Yang Jing was completely from the heart.

Because of Yang Jing's meritorious service, there is also light on his face!

After a pause, Luo Youqing thought of the current unfavorable situation, put away the smile on his face again, and said with a serious expression: "However, the disparity between the strength of the Huben Battalion and the Japanese 10th Army is too big after all.

If the main force of the Japanese army arrives, no matter how powerful Yang Jing is, he may not be able to resist for too long. We still have to rush reinforcements, even if we rush to strengthen Matsue's defenses! ”

Chen Cixiu nodded approvingly: "Well, where is Wu Jingshan now?" Ordered him to rush to Songjiang as soon as possible and join Yang Jing's headquarters! ”

Luo Youqing said: "Sir, if Wu Jingshan leads his troops to Songjiang, who will take unified command?"

Although Yang Jing is very capable, it is most suitable for him to be the commander-in-chief of Songjiang. But after all, Jean is only a lieutenant colonel, and Wu Jingshan is the lieutenant general, so it may be difficult to convince the public to let a lieutenant colonel command the lieutenant general. ”

Chen Cixiu frowned and thought for a while, "You Qing, your worries are not unreasonable, so let's nominally appoint Wu Jingshan as the commander of Songjiang City Defense and Yang Jing as the tactical adviser."

But the specific front-line war is completely in charge of Yang Jing! ”

…………

The south bank of the Huangpu River.

The main forces of the 6th Division of the Japanese Army arrived one after another.

Although Jinshanwei was only 60 miles away from Songjiang, it stands to reason that the Japanese army could arrive in two hours.

However, within a distance of 60 miles, there are all kinds of streams and rivers, and the water network is dense, and the bridges along the way have been blown up in advance by Yang Jing's order guard platoon, so the mobility of the Japanese army is greatly limited.

As a result, the main force of the Japanese army in Oita and its heavily armed troops needed to be re-paved and bridged by sappers in order to continue advancing. As a result, he was left far behind by the vanguard for three or four hours.

At this time.

In a dense forest not far from the river, a group of devil orderlies are busy setting up military tents, bunkers, and antennas for radio stations.

Lieutenant General Toshio Tani, commander of the Japanese division, accompanied by Chief of Staff Kazuho Shimono and other senior officers under his command, was sitting on top of the ammunition boxes piled up next to him, waiting for the headquarters to be established.

Not long after, a Japanese scout suddenly ran over from the front in a hurry, stood up and saluted Gu Shoufu: "Report to Your Excellency, Commander of the Division, the big thing is not good!" I just got the news that the vanguard of our army was ambushed by the heavy troops of the Shina Army on the north bank of the Songjiang River, and now the whole army has been wiped out! ”

Thunderbolt from the sky, this is!

The division commander Gu Shoufu and the chief of staff Shimono Ichiho and other devil officers were taken aback, and the old devil Gu Shoufu stood up directly at once, stared at him with wide eyes and asked in disbelief: "Nani?" Is the message accurate? ”

The devil scouts who came to report were a little afraid to face the fierce gaze of Gu Shoufu who was almost murderous, and bowed his head slightly and said, "Haiyi! The news is true! ”

"Baga Ya Road! Do you know the unit number of the defenders of Matsue Shina? Gu Shoufu was furious, with the equipment level and combat effectiveness of the imperial army, a vanguard force of more than 1,000 people was completely annihilated by the other side in such a short period of time, which was undoubtedly a great insult to the 6th Division.

If you spread it, don't you have to be laughed off by your colleagues?

"Please forgive your Excellency the division commander, this is not known for the time being." The devil scout replied tremblingly, for fear that if one was not good, it would anger the division commander Gu Shoufu and lead to annihilation.

Gu Shoufu was very angry, turned his head to look at the staff officer of the Intelligence Department next to him, gritted his teeth and said, "Bagaya Road!" The intelligence department was immediately instructed to immediately investigate and clarify the specific information such as the number of the enemy troops on the opposite side. ”

"Hello!" The intelligence staff officer next to him hurriedly bowed his head and took the order.

Chief of Staff Shimono Kazuho was the first to recover from the initial shock, and suggested to Gu Shoufu, who was in anger: "Your Excellency, General, please calm your anger, the vanguard army is alone and does not carry heavy firepower weapons, and it is not surprising that the whole army is annihilated in an ambush.

However, this loss of troops is not enough for us, we still focus on the overall situation, quickly organize the troops to prepare to cross the river, and according to the order of the military headquarters, capture Songjiang County!"

The corners of Gu Shoufu's mouth twitched, and he gritted his back molars and burst out a sentence: "Order the baggage wing and the engineer wing to quickly collect the boats crossing the river and erect a pontoon bridge."

The artillery wing and machine gun group quickly formed positions and prepared to cover the crossing of the river by the attacking troops!

In addition, the command was requested to provide air fire support. ”

Chief of Staff Shimono Kazuho hurriedly nodded: "Haiyi!"

Gu Shoufu had a gloomy old face, and said in a fierce voice, "Tell the attacking troops that their goal is to use the blood of the Songjiang defenders to wash away the shame of the imperial army!"

After succeeding, there will be no chickens and dogs left in Songjiang County! If there were any prisoners of the Zhina, they were all executed on the spot, in order to comfort the loyal souls of more than 1,000 soldiers of the imperial army in the vanguard army. ”

Shimono Kazuho paused again: "Haiyi, I understand my humble position!"

……

The efficiency of the Japanese army was fast.

In a short time, the engineer wing and the baggage wing gathered enough materials and began to build pontoon bridges upstream and downstream of the Songjiang wharf.

At the same time, a number of fishing boats and rubber boats were collected for crossing the river.

……

The forward position of the Tiger Battalion.

Yang Jing was sitting in the command post smoking a cigarette, and Ma Haifeng, the deputy battalion commander in charge of reconnaissance matters, suddenly hurriedly ran in from outside.

"Report to the battalion commander, according to the observation of the scouts, all units of the 6th Division of the Japanese Army have been assembled on the south bank of the Huangpu River."

"Got it."

All this was expected by Yang Jing, he took a puff of the cigarette in his hand, snuffed it out and threw it on the ground. Then he stood up and picked up a pair of military binoculars from above the command table and walked towards the door of the headquarters.

Out of the headquarters, Yang Jing strode to a high ground 100 meters away on the left, then raised his binoculars and looked at the south bank of the Huangpu River in the distance to observe the past.

In the line of sight of the telescope, the devil troops are busy building various fortifications and bunkers on the south bank of the Huangpu River.

There are also devils who carry wood, planks and other items needed to build a pontoon bridge and walk towards the river.

By observing these situations of the enemy on the opposite side, it is not difficult to analyze that the little devil is preparing for crossing the river.

After observing for a while, Yang Jing slowly lowered the binoculars.

"Little devil, if you are not afraid of death, come and cross the river."

Yang Jing smiled coldly, with a murderous look on his face.

Even in the face of a division of the Japanese army, he was fearless.

It is not that he can only defeat one division of the Japanese army, but the crux of the problem is that if the Japanese army wants to attack the north bank of the Huangpu River, it must cross the river before it can land and fight.

And the Huangpu River is undoubtedly the best line of defense at this time.

There were not many boats crossing the river by the Japanese army, and even if they built pontoon bridges, it was impossible to build too many in a short period of time.

So much so that it was impossible for the Japanese army to send a large force to besiege it, and could only adopt the mode of echelon attack.

In this way, the Japanese army that can participate in the attack at the first time may not be as good as the Tiger Battalion.

In addition, there is a natural danger of the Huangpu River to defend, so as far as the situation on the battlefield is concerned, it is actually inclined to the side of the Tiger Camp.
