Chinachem Hotel. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The rooftop of the building was already crowded with envoys from Western countries in China and reporters from various media and newspapers, especially in front of the row of telescopes.

At this moment, Wilson, the military attache of the US Embassy in China, was standing behind a telescope, intently observing the Luodian battlefield! After listening to Helena say in the western restaurant just now that the Japanese infantry besieging Jiangwan was completely annihilated, Wilson no longer had an appetite, and hurriedly drank a glass of milk and went up to the roof of the hotel.

As a top student who graduated from the West Point Military Academy, Wilson is still quite confident in his military ability, so he is particularly unable to accept the news that the Japanese attack force in Jiangwan has been completely annihilated, how is this possible? Logically, this is simply not possible!

However, when Wilson hurried up to the rooftop, when he turned the telescope to look in the direction of Jiangwan, he found that Jiangwan had become quiet, the smoke had cleared, the explosions had stopped, and there was not even the sound of gunfire! My God, the Japanese troops attacking Jiangwan were really wiped out?

Wilson's mouth opened wide in an instant!

Obviously, if the Japanese army had taken Jiangwan, then the next step should be to attack the urban area, but now, the downtown area of Shanghai is quiet and has not suffered any attacks! On the other hand, Luodian in the north of Jiangwan Town, at this moment, there are gunshots and gunsmoke, as if two armies are fighting fiercely.

At that moment, Wilson turned the telescope around and aimed it in the direction of Luodian.

Luodian's direction is a little far, even if the focus is adjusted to the longest, it still looks a little blurry, but for a veteran like Wilson, it is almost the same, because he can accurately judge who has the upper hand from the general situation on the battlefield and how long the side that is in the lower hand can hold on.

Coincidentally, when Wilson turned his telescope to Luodian, it was just when the large-caliber naval gun group of the Japanese Navy's Fourth Fleet launched an indiscriminate artillery attack! The field of view of the telescope was immediately filled with continuous red light, and Wilson could clearly feel the power of the explosion from ten kilometers away!

My God! Wilson straightened up from the back of the telescope with a dull expression!

The naval artillery group of the Fourth Fleet of the Japanese Navy began to cover Luodian Town indiscriminately, which is enough to show that the Battle of Luodian was lost by the Japanese!

(Dividing Line)

Meanwhile, in Tokyo.

Hideki Tojo was still anxiously waiting for the battle report from Shanghai.

Half an hour ago, the troops of the Communist Songhu Army Division suddenly intensified the offensive, and Takahashi Tagaji had already reported this situation to him through the radio, but it is unknown what the fighting situation was after that! So Hideki Tojo was extremely anxious, he didn't think that Luodian would lose quickly, but he was still worried after all.

Because of his worries, Hideki Tojo was particularly dissatisfied with the slow action of the 104th Division.

After walking a few steps, Hideki Tojo couldn't help but stop again and asked his adjutant Egawa Hosoro: "Egawa-kun, you ask again, when will the 104th Division be able to reach Luodian?" ”

"Hello!" Egawa Hosoro shook his head heavily and turned to leave.

However, before Egawa Hosoro could go out, a young staff officer hurriedly walked in and immediately reported: "Your Excellency the Deputy Chief, it's not good, something happened, something happened!" ”

"Yaga!" Hideki Tojo said angrily, "What's the panic? Take your time. ”

"Hello!" Staff Officer Shao Zuo shook his head heavily, and then said, "Just half a minute ago, the rest of the 20th Division had already been collectively broken in Luodian, and General Takahashiduo had also sent a farewell telegram. ”

After finishing speaking, Staff Officer Shaozo handed over the telegram in his hand again.

"Nani?" Hideki Tojo didn't reach out to pick it up, but just looked at Shaozo in surprise.

The news just now really shocked Hideki Tojo, and even more surprised than hearing the news that the three infantry wings besieging Jiangwan had suffered heavy losses in the early hours of this morning!

If it weren't for Xu Rui, a cunning man, who planted a large number of explosives and chemicals in Jiangwan Town in advance, if it weren't for the fact that the three infantry wings that attacked Jiangwan Town failed to find clues at night, there would have been no defeat at all!

In other words, the defeat of Jiangwan was not a defeat in the war, but a defeat under Xu Rui's conspiracy!

But on the battlefield of Luodian, the rest of the 20th Division was the defender, and Xu Rui was the attacker!

In other words, on the battlefield of Luodian, it is impossible for Xu Rui to play any conspiracy at all, but can only rely on his troops to fight hard! It is precisely because of this that Hideki Tojo was particularly shocked, in the battle of Luodian, even if the rest of the 20th Division could not get naval support, no matter what, there were still more than 10,000 troops!

You must know that the military service system of the Japanese army is different from that of other countries!

In other countries, technical arms are technical arms, such as artillery, medical soldiers and even engineers, which are unlikely to charge into battle like infantry, but in the Japanese army, all arms, whether artillery, medical soldiers, engineers, baggage soldiers, and even female soldiers in the signal corps, have undergone strict military training, and all of them can charge traps like infantry.

In other words, there are still more than 10,000 infantry in the remnants of the 20th Division besieged in Luodian!

The Luodian battlefield, which was guarded by more than 10,000 infantry, was broken by Xu Rui's troops in less than half an hour, how could it be? How is this possible? Don't talk about people, even if more than 10,000 pigs are placed in Luodian Town for Xu Rui's troops to catch, it is absolutely impossible to catch them in half an hour!

Actually, Hideki Tojo thinks too much!

Things are not at all what Hideki Tojo thinks!

Although the wolf teeth are powerful, it is absolutely impossible to completely annihilate the rest of the 20th Division in half an hour, after all, there are more than 10,000 devils, no matter how powerful the wolf teeth are, can they be killed in half an hour? No kidding! Even if you add five battalions and six battalions, it is impossible, this is simply an impossible task!

However, fighting a war is not about killing all the enemies in order to win!

In fact, until the dozens of battle groups of Langya broke through to the headquarters of Takahashi Tagaji, the personnel losses of the rest of the 20th Division were not large, at best, more than 1,000 casualties, but the indisputable fact is that the remaining devils have been divided and surrounded in various blocks of Luodian.

Because the wolf's tooth brigade did not take the usual road, it unexpectedly launched an attack from the roofs of civilian houses in the middle of the streets and alleys, which directly led to the failure of the Japanese army's defensive deployment, and the wolf's tooth assault was like a sharp boning knife, which stabbed the defense line of the remnants of the 20th Division to a thousand holes, and the fifth and sixth battalions followed and rushed again, and the devil's defense line was completely chaotic.

But no matter how chaotic it is, most of the devils in the rest of the 20th Division are still resisting stubbornly.

Until Takahashi Tagaji sent a farewell telegram to the base camp and the navy, most of the devils in the rest of the 20th Division were still cowering in their respective defense areas, resisting stubbornly! However, it should be noted that if there were no unexpected circumstances, the rest of the 20th Division would still be wiped out.

Takahashi Tagaji also saw this, so he did not hesitate to send a farewell telegram to the Fourth Fleet of the Navy, calling on the Navy's large-caliber naval artillery group to cover the Luodian battlefield, trying to make the Chinese troops who were trying their best to clear all the neighborhoods of Luodian Town, and the remnants of their 20th Division die on the battlefield!

It's a pity that Xu Rui foresaw Takahashi Tagaji's intentions, and at the most opportune time, he gave an order to retreat to the Wolf Tooth Brigade and the two main battalions involved in the attack! As a result, the Wolf Tooth Brigade and the two main battalions were spared, but the devils who resisted in various neighborhoods of Luodian were blown up.

So in the end, these more than 10,000 devils actually did not die under the guns of the wolf's teeth and the officers and men of the fifth and sixth battalions, but died under the guns of the Fourth Fleet of the Japanese Navy!

It was the large-caliber naval artillery group of the Fourth Fleet of the Japanese Navy that killed more than 10,000 devils!

But Hideki Tojo didn't know this, so he was surprised, or rather shocked!

After a long time, Tojo Hideki finally came back to his senses, glared at the young man and said, "Takeno Uchi-kun, are you joking with me?" Half an hour, half an hour! In half an hour, more than 10,000 officers and soldiers of the 20th Division were annihilated by Xu Rui's troops, do you think you are stupid, or am I stupid? Would you believe this kind of nonsense? ”

Takenochi Shaosa paused again and said: "Your Excellency, I can understand your feelings, but this is indeed a farewell telegram sent back by General Takahashita, and besides, more than 10,000 officers and soldiers of the 20th Division were not wiped out by the Chinese army, but most of them died under the indiscriminate shelling of the large-caliber naval gun group of the Fourth Fleet of the Navy. ”

"Nani?" Hideki Tojo suddenly thought that if this was the case, it would not be surprising.

Takahashi Tagaji chose to dream of jade with the Chinese army at the last moment, which is completely understandable, and even this has always been deliberately promoted by the Japanese army base camp! But I don't know, did Takahashi Taga II and the rest of the 20th Division play a role?

At that moment, Hideki Tojo asked: "Takeno Uchi-kun, did the indiscriminate shelling of the Navy's Fourth Fleet ever blow up the Chinese army?" ”

"Unfortunately, no." Takeno Shaoza shook his head and said with regret, "At that time, there happened to be two combat reconnaissance planes of the Third Flying Regiment over Luodian, so we were able to see that the Chinese army withdrew from the Luodian battlefield at the last moment, so the indiscriminate shelling of the Fourth Fleet of the Navy did not blow them up. ”

"Yaga!" Hideki Tojo couldn't help but let out a sigh of disappointment.

Adjutant Egawa Hosoro paused and asked, "Your Excellency, do you still need to continue to urge the 104th Division?" ”

"Yaga, no need." Hideki Tojo shook his head dejectedly, and said, "Order the 104th Division to immediately withdraw to the front line of Suzhou and Kunshan, and take strict precautions!" Beware of a counterattack by the Chinese army. ”

"Hello!" Egawa nodded and turned to go.
