Yang Jing's order is a holy decree for everyone.

Although Bi Yuntao and Fan Tietou have won several big battles in this forward position one after another, they are very reluctant.

But they still received orders one after another, and led the soldiers under their respective commands, and began to act separately.

Not long after, the remaining 1,800 or so defenders withdrew through the communication trenches with their weapons and equipment and wounded into the underground bomb shelters dug in the rear.

After a big battle, nearly 1,000 people were killed in the Tiger Camp and the Songjiang Security Force, and the wounded were not counted. Its casualties were not unheavy, but they were nothing compared to the elimination of thousands of Japanese elites.

……

At the same time, the two divisions under Wu Jingshan's headquarters were also attacked by the Japanese army's roundabout troops.

After a bloody battle, although the two soldiers paid great casualties, they firmly held their positions, making it difficult for the Japanese army to advance an inch, and intact ensured the safety of the Huben camp and the flank of Songjiang County.

After paying a large number of casualties, the Japanese roundabout troops had no choice but to retreat temporarily.

12 noon.

The Japanese heavy artillery brigade arrived on the south bank of the Huangpu River one after another, and successfully crossed to the Songjiang Wharf on the north bank through the pontoon bridge built by the 6th Division.

While ordering the heavy artillery brigade to build artillery positions, Gu Shoufu sent a telegram to the headquarters of the dispatch army asking for help.

About half an hour later, dozens of Devil Navy carrier-based bombers and fighter jets, carrying the sound of breaking wind tearing through the air, roared from a distance.

The powerful firepower group composed of the 2nd Heavy Artillery Brigade and the 6th Artillery Wing, without saying a word, directly rushed to the position of the Huben Battalion and launched a retaliatory fire attack on Songjiang County.

The position of the Tiger Battalion in the south of the city was taken care of by the Japanese carrier-based aircraft group and the heavy artillery group.

The soldiers of the defenders hid in the underground anti-aircraft fortifications, and they could clearly feel the violent shaking of the ground above their heads, as if an earthquake was coming.

Some of the soldiers who were already wounded were so shocked that they vomited blood, and the wounds on their bodies were also torn a lot.

The crimson blood, flowing from the wound, quickly stained the gauze and bandages red.

The ground above the defenders' heads turned into a monstrous sea of fire.

Each shell that fell left a huge crater, and the dirt, sand, and gravel scattered with the shock wave from the explosion.

Not only outside the city, but also inside the city was bombarded by Japanese artillery, especially in the south of the city, which was directly ravaged into pieces of ruins by the powerful firepower of the Japanese army.

Countless residential buildings were torn apart and collapsed.

All kinds of masonry and rubble, scattered in all directions, spread all over the street.

……

Nanking.

Chen Cixiu and other high-ranking officials of the former enemy command in the Third Theater have taken the lead in withdrawing here.

And re-established the headquarters in Nanjing, and remotely commanded the retreat of hundreds of thousands of troops on the Songhu battlefield.

With the landing of the Japanese 10th Army in Hangzhou Bay, on the Songhu battlefield, the country. The road for the main force of the army to withdraw westward to Jiaxing, Hangzhou and other places has been cut off. Hundreds of thousands of troops had to retreat along the Shanghai-Nanjing railway and highway to Suzhou, Wuxi and other places.

Although Yang Jing's division held on to Songjiang, temporarily blocked the offensive momentum of the Japanese 10th Army advancing eastward, and avoided the Songhu battlefield, the main Chinese force was in danger of being attacked on the back.

However, on the battlefield of Songhu, with China. The army faced the main force of more than 100,000 Japanese troops, but took advantage of the situation to launch a pursuit. In addition, the Japanese army had a large number of fighters to assist, and they pursued them relentlessly.

Hundreds of thousands of China. The army lacked a unified and effective retreat plan, and under the joint pursuit of the enemy's ground and air forces, the various units were in great confusion and trampled on each other, and suffered huge losses in casualties.

The bad news continued one after another, making it almost difficult for all the senior officers in the Third War Zone to sleep. Suddenly, unfavorable news came again.

Just when the hundreds of thousands of main forces on the Songhu battlefield retreated to Suzhou and Jiaxing. The 16th Division of the Japanese Army, with the assistance of the navy, went up the Shuojiang River from the mouth of the Yangtze River, and suddenly landed at Baimaokou in Taicang, and the front of the army was directed towards Suzhou.

The intention of the Japanese army is very obvious, that is, to completely cut off China. The retreat of the army to Wuxi, Nanjing and other places. Will be hundreds of thousands of China. The army was completely annihilated on the east bank of Taihu Lake, from Wuxi and Suzhou to Jiaxing.

When Chen Cixiu learned the news, he was taken aback, and then immediately convened an emergency military meeting to discuss countermeasures.

Soon, a group of high-ranking officers in the third theater received orders and came to the conference room one after another.

After Chen Cixiu briefly explained the situation, Luo Youqing took the lead in speaking: "The Japanese 16th Division with the support of naval carrier-based aircraft is menacing, and it must be able to match it with an elite division led by a capable general.

Otherwise, Suzhou is in danger, and my hundreds of thousands of troops are in danger! ”

Chen Cixiu had a headache and said: "Now that all the troops have been disrupted, even those few German divisions have suffered heavy casualties, and they haven't had time to replenish yet!" Where to mobilize the elite division now? ”

General Zhang Wenbai said: "The 16th Division of the Japanese Army is a new force, and its combat effectiveness is very strong, plus they are coming with the power of victory, if there is no effective force to block them, it is impossible to stop them!"

After receiving the order to retreat, the large number of our troops had no desire to fight again. Now they are only thinking about escaping and retreating, and even if they are dispatched, they will be given in vain. Can't stop the advance of the 16th Division of the Japanese Army at all! ”

After saying this, Zhang Wenbai continued: "Of course, our army is not without effective troops. ”

Seeing Zhang Wenbai say this, his voice suddenly stopped, and the commander-in-chief Chen Cixiu hurriedly asked: "Brother Wenbai, it's almost burning your ass, why are you still selling Guanzi, hurry up!" ”

Zhang Wenbai said: "Tiger camp! As a glorious division of our army, the Tiger Battalion has combat effectiveness that is obvious to all.

Of course, the Tiger Battalion had limited strength, and it was almost impossible to defeat the Japanese 16th Division.

However, with Yang Jing's command ability, the combat effectiveness of the Huben battalion, and the assistance of the 67th Army, it should not be too much of a problem to block the 16th Division. ”

After listening to this, Chen Cixiu seemed to grasp a life-saving straw, at this juncture, it seems that only Yang Jing's Tiger Battalion can shoulder this great responsibility, and only the Tiger Battalion dares to confront the Japanese army head-on. He slapped his head and exclaimed, "That's right! Why didn't I think of the Tiger Camp? ”

As he spoke, Chen Cixiu looked at Luo Youqing on his left hand and asked, "How is Yang Jing's Tiger Camp now?" ”

Luo Youqing said: "Yang Jing has already led the Tiger Battalion to fight the Japanese invaders in Songjiang for two days and one night, and there is still one day left to complete the original task!" ”

Speaking of the Tiger Camp, Luo Youqing unconsciously showed a proud expression on his face, and continued: "Speaking of this Yang Jing, it's really unbelievable!" With a strength of less than 3,000 troops, most of which were still the miscellaneous troops of the Songjiang City Defense and Security Corps, they not only successfully resisted tens of thousands of invading Japanese troops and prevented the enemy from moving forward, but also inflicted heavy losses on the Japanese 6th Division several times in succession.

You know, the enemy is assisted by heavy artillery brigades and powerful firepower from naval carrier-based air groups.

I have to say that this Yang Jing is really the spokesperson of miracles!

Among them, although there is also the credit of Wu Jingshan's 67th Army, this Yang Jing is really amazing! ”
