Chapter 263: Bloody Battle (2)

"Chief Ye, the newspaper you wanted."

"Oh~ thank you."

Ye Lei was bored, and he could only rely on the newspaper to understand the situation outside. When he looked up, he was stunned.

"How are you?"

"We meet again."

Chen Xiaoke, who was standing in front of Ye Lei, was the first woman he met after crossing over.

Ye Lei asked Chen Xiaoke to sit down, put the newspaper aside first, and Chen Xiaoke said: "Not long after I left you, I was arrested by the military commanders. ”

Ye Lei was stunned for a moment and interrupted: "They didn't do anything to you, did they?" ”

Chen Xiaoke shook his head and said, "No." They know everything about me, and because I was involved with you, they left me behind. And I told them everything I knew. Sir Ye, I can't help myself. ”

Although Ye Lei doesn't have a good impression of Chen Xiaoke, after all, knowing each other can be regarded as a kind of fate, and there is a feeling of acquaintances reuniting after a long absence. However, Ye Lei didn't understand what the hell Dai Li was doing, and why he let Chen Xiaoke appear in front of him at this time.

Ye Lei asked: "Why did they let you accompany me, they wouldn't want to use any beauty tricks on me, right?" ”

Chen Xiaoke laughed and said: "Chief Ye is still so funny, is the beauty trick useful to you?" If it's useful, you're not Ye Lei. They were afraid that you would be bored, so they asked me to come over and chat with you and relieve your boredom. ”

Ye Lei can only sigh that Dai Li's thoughtfulness, serving delicious food and drink every day, and now letting beautiful women accompany him, does he really want to tie himself up?

Dai Li no longer has any bargaining chips, and he also knows that software and hard are useless to Ye Lei, and the only thing he can do is to compromise between the two sides.

"It's okay, I'm bored anyway."

Ye Lei decided to accept Dai Li's kindness, and then picked up the newspaper to read today's news.

The battle in Zhabei has not yet begun, but the north is bloody and rainy. The Japanese had successfully crossed Onzaohama and built a bridgehead position on the south bank, and the main forces were coming from the north bank. All units of the Nationalist Army were actively on the defensive, and decided to fight the Japanese army to the end.

The content of the newspaper is a bit exaggerated, telling about how the Nationalist army fought bravely, and the Japanese army suffered countless casualties. But Ye Lei knows the facts. The strength of both sides is obvious.

The more the battle reached the later stage, the more prominent the disadvantage of the national army became. The reason is that the elite troops of the national army in the previous two months of fighting have suffered heavy losses, and all the recruits who have been replenished are recruits. And now a large number of local armies have been put into the battlefield, and the tactics, equipment, and quality of soldiers are completely different from the Japanese army.

For these soldiers of the national army, Ye Lei only has reverence. In the face of the artillery fire of the invaders, they used their own flesh and blood to defend every inch of the country. And Ye Lei has already secretly determined to fight! After the Zhabei War, he will devote himself to the battlefield on the northern front. Even if you are a traverser, you must complete the noble mission of being a soldier.

On 11 October, the main Japanese forces crossed Yunzaobang one after another, and under the cover of the navy and aviation, they immediately launched a more fierce offensive against the positions of the Nationalist army as planned, in an attempt to break through the positions in one fell swoop and expand the results of the battle.

Wen Yubang was once again shrouded in a bloody wind, and the breath of death became even thicker.

"Boom Boom" "......"

On the front line, the positions of the Tax Police Corps were frantically bombed by the Japanese army. Although the tax police regiment did not have a strong will to fight, the Japanese army still saw their superior firepower, so they could only take special care and use artillery shells to carry out round after round of covering bombing.

For several days, the tax police regiment engaged in a tug-of-war with the Japanese army, and the battle was tragic and abnormal, with heavy casualties on both sides. Even Sun Liren's 4th Regiment was killed in these two battles, and a member of the battalion commander was killed, and Zheng Zongzhou, deputy of the Major Regiment, was seriously wounded.

At the headquarters of the Fourth Regiment, the phone kept ringing. Although Sun Liren was exceptionally promoted to the commander of the second detachment, the fourth regiment still had his own personal command. Zhong Baosheng, the commander of the 6th regiment, was dismissed, and the first thing Sun Liren did when he was promoted to commander was to divide the 6th regiment, divide the remaining strength of the 6th regiment into two, and distribute it to his own 4th regiment and 5th regiment, and directly revoke the number of the 6th regiment.

"Regiment commander, we really can't stand it, if you don't send reinforcements, the third battalion will really run out!"

"Give me the top, dare to take a step back and engage in military law!"

"Bang~", Sun Liren hung up the phone vigorously, only lamenting that his subordinates lacked the backbone of soldiers. Sun Liren received several such calls for help a day, and no matter how the officers and soldiers on the front line cried and asked for reinforcements, as long as he thought he could hold on, he would never send reinforcements.

Sun Li's people are on fire, and the tax police corps has the best weapons, but they have fought the worst battles, and they have become the laughing stock of all friendly troops. There are too many such officers in the troops, who think that heavy losses are the reason for retreating, and lack the will to fight either you die or we die. As the elite of the elite, he is not even as good as the Sichuan army in terms of will to fight.

Sun Liren has always had a habit of fighting and must have a powerful reserve in his hands under any circumstances. Once a position is breached by the enemy, he personally leads the preparations to plug the gap.

With the exception of the four regiments, several other regiments fought just as fiercely. The tax police corps was red-eyed, and the chairman of the army commanded by Huang Jie, how dare Huang Jie have the slightest slackness, and shouted at the officers at all levels at the command headquarters: "Whoever can fight whom, whoever has no ability will withdraw who!" ”

Huang Jie wasn't intimidating his own officers, he was really forced to be anxious. There is a chairman above, and there are friendly troops around them watching them, and without saying a word, directly removing the two detachment commanders and a regiment commander is the best front, and these three people are all supported by big people.

On the south bank of Onzaohama, all the units of the Tax Police Corps fought to the death with the Japanese army and fought to the end.

The Japanese attack was as expected by Chen Cheng at the previous combat meeting, and their operational intention was to occupy Dachang and Nanxiang, so as to cut off the troops of Zhabei, Jiangwan, and Miaohang from the retreat of the Central Combat Army. As a result, the Japanese army was in the middle of it, and the southwest defense line was the core of the main force of the national army, and the troops had an absolute advantage.

After four days and four nights of bloody battles between the two sides, and dozens of repeated battles, the Japanese army did not take a single step, and their first general attack basically ended in failure. As the 11th Division alone covered the flanks of the main force, it struggled, resulting in a gap between it and the 9th Division.

Zhu Shaoliang seized the fighter plane and immediately ordered the forces of the two divisions to cut through the middle and flank the Japanese 9th and 11th divisions respectively.

The battlefield form of the national army has changed from passive to active. At this extremely urgent moment, Matsui Ishine had no choice but to put the 13th Division, which was the only reserve, into the battle in advance. As a result, as soon as the 13th Division entered the battle, it was bogged down in fierce fighting with two divisions, and the offensive made no progress.

The two sides fought until the 15th, and the five divisions of the Japanese army fought hard with the national army in the same place, and their battle lines formed a long snake formation. In the war, the Japanese army fell into a more passive situation.

In the face of the Japanese offensive launched by the Japanese army on the Yunzaohama position to avoid the threat to the left flank of the Central Combat Army, the Third Theater readjusted its deployment and issued Operational Order No. 4 on October 14. The command is as follows:

(1) This army should first consolidate its current position, and then try to extinguish the enemy army on the south bank of Yunzaobang and restore the original positions of Liuhang and Luodian.

(2) The Right Wing Army should consolidate its garrison along the river and along the coast, break the enemy's attempt to land, and use the positions on the banks of the Pudong and Huangpu rivers to carry out disruptive firing at the enemy base area and enemy ships in Hongkou. The construction of fortifications in the fortifications of the positions near Songjiang and the Jiazha and Cha positions should be completed quickly.

(3) The Central Combat Army should first consolidate the front on the south bank of Yunzaobang, and quickly strengthen the reserve positions from Pengpu to Dachang and Jiangwan to Dachang, to Laojiaoqiao, to Xinjing Bridge, and to Chenjiahang, and then transfer the offensive with the main force from the area west of Tangqiao Station, extinguish the enemy on the south bank of Yunzaobang, and advance to the area south of Liuhang. In addition, the first part was used as the vigilance and garrison in southern and western Hunan, and the construction of positions on the west bank of the Huangpu River.

(4) The Left Wing Combat Army should first use one part to garrison the riverbank, and the main force should first consolidate the original front, and strengthen the reserve positions from Nanxiang to Malu Town, to Dengxinqiao, to Xinjing River, and to Liuhe Town, and then coordinate with the Central Army to transfer the offensive and advance to the areas around Liuhang and Luodian.

(5) The 11th Army Corps should be the main force to garrison the riverbank, build the field fortifications of the Wufu position and the Kunzhi position, and actively equip the defense of the Taihu area.

(6) The river defense forces on both sides of the Yangtze River should tightly seal the towns near Jiangyin, and serve as the garrison of the riverbank, and build field fortifications in the Jiangyin fortress area with another part.

(7) The artillery corps shall occupy positions in the area east of Xiaonanxiang with its main force and in the vicinity of Malu Town, and shall be able to point with full fire to the south bank of Yunzaobang west of Tangqiao Station and south of Guangfu, so as to support the fighting of the 21st Army and the 19th Army. To suppress the enemy's artillery, it is necessary to carry out a rapid attack and fire in a short time.

Until this moment, the chairman of the committee, who was the commander of the Third Theater of Operations, still maintained hope for the Battle of Songhu. Both sides are now in a stalemate and bloody battle, and as long as a new force appears and suddenly launches a counteroffensive, the Japanese army will surely be crushed with one blow. And this new force is about to arrive, and they are the most powerful unit in the local army, the 21st Group Army of the Gui Army.
