"Report, the outer defense line of Jiaxing has been lost, the 114th Division of the Japanese Army has entered Jiaxing, and the 21st Independent Brigade of the defending Army has been wiped out!"

"Report, the 18th Division of the Japanese Army attacked Songjiang City, the 67th Army suffered heavy losses, and the army commander Wu Keren was injured!"

"Report, the reconnaissance plane found that the unknown Japanese fleet was assembled at the mouth of the Yangtze River, Baimaokou was bombed, and the Japanese army may land at Baimaokou!"

"Report, six divisions of the Japanese army suddenly forced their way across the Suzhou Creek!"

A series of bad news followed, and the entire command had a feeling that a mountain rain was coming.

The series of actions of the Japanese army are very obvious.

Whether it was Jinshanwei, or the Japanese army that landed or was about to land at Baimaokou, it was all to cut off the retreat of the Chinese army, and it was very likely that Jinshanwei's Japanese army would pass through the south bank of Taihu Lake and go straight to Nanjing.

The six divisions that suddenly intensified their attack on the Suzhou Creek were aimed at pinning down the Chinese army in the Songhu battlefield and making it impossible for the Chinese army to retreat.

The Japanese army had great ambitions, trying to completely annihilate the hundreds of thousands of elite national troops on the Songhu battlefield!

"Chairman, you must choose to retreat! The encirclement of the Japanese army has been formed, and if they do not retreat, hundreds of thousands of elites on the Songhu front line will be buried in the hands of the Japanese army. Thinking that the 21st Group Army of the Gui Army was also on the Songhu front, Bai Chongxi was a little anxious.

You must know that it is the 7th Army and the 48th Army of the core troops of the Gui family, and the losses in the previous war are not small, Bai Chongxi does not want to see all these tens of thousands of Guangxi soldiers buried on the Songhu front.

"What about Brussels? Haven't heard any news yet? Old Jiang roared.

He didn't want to retreat, he didn't want to give up Shanghai.

If Shanghai is abandoned, Nanjing will not be able to hold on, and the Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai regions, which are the base camp of the Nanjing Nationalist Government, will fall.

"Chairman, we can't wait any longer for the Brussels meeting. Without these hundreds of thousands of elites, what can we do to resist the aggression of the Japanese army? If Britain and the United States and other countries could be reliable, they would not have dragged on until now. ”

Thinking that at this time, Lao Jiang still pinned his hopes on foreigners, Bai Chongxi was angry. If you want to die, don't drag our army to the funeral!

At this time, Qian Dajun, the director of the attendant room, hurriedly walked in, and Lao Jiang hurriedly asked, "Mu Yin, what did Shaochuan say?" ”

Shaochuan is the character of Gu Weijun, who was the ambassador to France and the delegate to the Brussels conference at this time.

Qian Dajun's face was a little hesitant, and he hesitated for a while and said, "On behalf of the Nationalist Government, Shaochuan has asked the participating countries to impose economic sanctions on Japan, stop providing loans and military supplies, and provide military assistance to our country.

However, the participating countries have not yet expressed their position, and no one is willing to take the lead in sanctioning Japan, except for making general condemnations.

Maybe it's a little difficult for us to pin our hopes on Anglo-American sanctions! ”

"What?" Lao Jiang's face changed instantly, and he stumbled and almost fell, which frightened Qian Dajun, Wang Shihe and others around him, Wang Shihe hurriedly ran over to help Lao Jiang, "Chairman, are you okay?" ”

Lao Jiang shook his head, shook off Wang Shihe's hand, looked at Qian Dajun and said in a lost voice, "Why?" It has been five days since the meeting was held, why should Britain and the United States and other countries still sit idly by? Why? ”

"Chairman, the order must be given to retreat!" He Yingqin urged.

What is it to think that you have waited for so many days and waited for an answer that has no results?

Are Britain and the United States really willing to see Japan monopolize China? Isn't this against the interests of Britain and the United States and other countries?

However, thinking of the situation on the front line, Lao Jiang finally nodded helplessly, "Tell Ci Xiu to order a retreat!" ”

Bai Chongxi hurriedly reminded, "You must retreat in an orderly manner according to the retreat plan formulated before!" ”

Although Bai Chongxi expected the bad side, the order to retreat was given too hastily, and the 67th, 43rd, and 21st armies in Songjiang and Jiaxing were holding on to block the Japanese troops who landed from Jinshanwei.

However, the 43rd Army was crippled in the Songhu battlefield, and after coming down from the Songhu battlefield, the 43rd Army only had more than 600 people left.

The equipment of the 21st Army was extremely poor, and in the face of the 114th Division of the Japanese army, it also fought very fiercely, and it could not last long at all.

Once Songjiang and Jiaxing are lost, the south side of Shanghai will be completely opened, and it will be quite difficult to retreat in an orderly manner.

So on the evening of November 8, Chen Cheng ordered a retreat in accordance with the instructions of the Nanjing Command, but the next day the so-called orderly retreat turned into a rout.

。。。。。。

"Cover the retreat of the people, hit me, hit me hard!"

Just when the Fourth Regiment of the Tax Police Corps was covering the retreat of the army under the leadership of the acting head Li Hong, an army of devils caught up.

At this time, the people and other armies were crowded together and chaotic, and at this time, only the tax police corps, which had been prepared, could maintain an orderly retreat.

But at this time, if the devils are entangled, not only will their retreating army be left behind, but these people will not be able to escape. Li Hong made a decisive decision and decisively ordered the rear of the fourth regiment to cover the retreat of friendly troops and civilians.

Originally, the Tax Police Corps was one of the troops responsible for the rear of the palace, so it was natural to do this.

It stands to reason that there are still many troops behind the palace, but at this time, those troops are running faster than the large army, and most of them appear in the central army, but the miscellaneous army that is not optimistic is struggling to block the enemy and cover the retreat.

If they all retreated in an orderly manner, there would not be such a chaotic situation, but the order to retreat was too sudden, and the Japanese army was in hot pursuit, in order not to be caught up by the Japanese army, it was all chaotic!

"Kill, give!"

The Japanese army that caught up was an incomplete infantry brigade, with less than 500 men, but it dared to chase thousands of Chinese troops.

Seeing the chaotic Chinese army in front of him, Suzuki Shaosa's face was excited.

After fighting for so long, the time has come to completely defeat the Chinese army!

Suddenly, the heavy machine gunner next to him suddenly fell to the ground, the bullet hole in his forehead was very obvious, and his eyes were open, and he couldn't see it.

The frightened Suzuki Shaozo hurriedly hid, and soon he found that several machine gunners and grenadiers on his side had been shot, and most of them were shot in the head, and his face was shocked.

"Your Excellency Shaozuo, that demon is ahead!"

"Nani?"

Thinking of that demon, Suzuki Shaosa was so frightened that he retracted his body and didn't dare to stick his head out.

The demon in the eyes of these soldiers is Leng Jie. This is a person who makes the officers of the Ninth Division shudder when they hear it, with outstanding marksmanship, from the beginning of the war to the present, no one knows how many people have died at the hands of that demon, most of them have been sniped, and they have been shot in the head or chest.

Therefore, when I saw several soldiers shot in the head at such a distance one after another, the pursuing Japanese soldiers immediately thought of that demon.

Suzuki Shaosa belonged to the Ninth Division, so he had naturally heard of the reputation of that demon, that is, a messenger from hell.

"Baga, it's all hidden! That demon of the Shina army is on the other side! ”
