On 10 September, the Japanese army captured Baoshan for the second time, connecting all the landing sites to the city. In order to break the deadlock as soon as possible, Matsui Ishine began to ask for someone from Tokyo again.

It's just that the strategic focus of the Japanese base camp is still in North China, and it did not meet Matsui Ishone's requirements, but only gave three divisions and regiments with buckles and cables.

Everyone knows that increasing troops on the battlefield one by one is a taboo for soldiers, and there is a so-called gourd baby to save grandpa, and send them one by one, but Matsui Shigen's decision in the base camp has no way to go against it, so he can only try his best to remedy it, and he asked for three divisions that can fight by name.

These three divisions are the 9th Division, the 13th Division, and the 101st Division. Since the Japanese army had already opened up communication with the various landing sites, after the three divisions left for Shanghai, the forces of the enemy and us underwent major changes, and the Chinese army was no longer able to counterattack, so it could only be forced to take a defensive position on all fronts.

At the same time, Chairman Chiang removed Feng Yuxiang, the former commander of the Third Theater, and concurrently served as the commander of the Third Theater. Regarding this matter, aside from the political position, it is actually Feng Yuxiang's fault.

The Chinese and Japanese sides fought in Shanghai, and not only the commanders in Shanghai were anxious, but also the general headquarters in Nanjing. Chairman Chiang often sent Bai Chongxi, the newly appointed deputy chief of the General Staff, to inspect the front line and give guidance.

Bai Chongxi came to the front line a few times, and he felt more and more that something was wrong, because every time he came, he only saw Gu Zhutong, the deputy commander of the Third Theater, busy working, and never saw the figure of Feng Yuxiang, the commander.

When I asked, I found out that Feng Yuxiang felt that the Japanese plane was too powerful, so he handed over all his private seals and official seals to Gu Zhutong, and he didn't know where to run to be the shopkeeper.

Having such a commander is a big blow to the morale of the front-line soldiers, and hundreds of thousands of brothers are playing with their lives in the blood, and you, as a commander, will hide from it.

Therefore, Chairman Chiang removed Feng Yuxiang and concurrently served as the commander of the Third Theater himself.

In addition, Chairman Chiang also dismissed Zhang Zhizhong, the former commander-in-chief of the Shanghai Forces, because he was dissatisfied with Zhang Zhizhong's failure to take down the Japanese Marines at the first time, and in addition, the telephone line of Zhang Zhizhong's headquarters was blown up, and Chairman Chiang was unable to get through to him, and the two lost contact for many days.

Chairman Jiang once suspected that he had gone to hide like Feng Yuxiang, so he also scolded Zhang Zhizhong on the phone, so angry that General Zhang Zhizhong dropped the phone. Later, however, Chairman Chiang also felt that his attitude was not very good, so he invited Zhang Zhizhong to a meal and gave him an idle job.

After the dismissal of the generals, the Chinese army made adjustments in the operational deployment, with Chen Cheng in charge of the left road, Zhu Shaoliang in charge of the middle road, and Zhang Fakui in charge of the right road, commanding nearly 700,000 national troops and continuing to prevent the enemy from landing the Japanese army.

The Japanese commander-in-chief, General Matsui Ishone, also changed his formation, and he originally wanted to capture Luodian and complete the encirclement of the Chinese army from the left, but because the defenders of Luodian were Wang Yaowu and other first-class Chinese generals at that time, this attempt did not succeed.

Therefore, Matsui Ishine failed to make a plan, and made another plan, changing the left breakthrough to the central breakthrough, using the newly reinforced 9th Division and the original 3rd Division to take the lead, and forcibly crossing Fuzaohama, and after success, the 101st Division of the new force was released to storm the field. An attempt was made from here to give a central breakthrough to the defense line of the Chinese army.

The main force guarding the field was Xue Yue's 19th Army, which had just arrived, and was assisted by the 59th and 18th Divisions of the Fourth Army, and the Tax Police Corps.

Xue Yue was a first-class general at that time, and under his command, the Japanese paid a lot of sacrifices, to what extent?

At that time, the main attack was the 101st Wing of the 101st Division of the Japanese Army, and this wing was basically killed by the Chinese defenders in front of the formation, which means that this wing has been completely annihilated. The casualties of the 101st Division had already reached two-thirds, and the result was a five-kilometer advance.

Matsui Ishine was unwilling to fail and continued to order the 101st Division to attack on the main field, but the division commander Ito Masakaki disobeyed the order, and his reason was that whoever fell in love would be on it, and if we went up again, we would not be able to protect the flag of the wing.

Those who are familiar with the history of Japan know that the flag of the wing was awarded by the emperor of Japan himself, and once the flag is taken, even if no one of the wing dies, the number will be revoked.

Therefore, each wing in Japan has a special flag guard second lieutenant to protect the flag of the wing, in their eyes, the flag of the wing is more important than the captain of the wing, the captain of the wing is gone, can be replaced, the flag of the wing is taken away, the wing is gone.

The division is a strategic unit of Japan, it has a high degree of independence, and if necessary, the instructions of the base camp can be violated, not to mention Matsui Ishine?

Matsui Ishine had no choice but to take out the 13th Division, which was originally a reserve, and let them attack Oba.

For a time, the battlefield in the middle was bloody and bloody, and the troops everywhere were tight, and the three companies led by Feng Muhua could no longer hide in the rear to catch spies with peace of mind, and were sent to the front line.

Zhong Song's 61st Division was responsible for defending the area around Wusong Fort, and his immediate enemy was the Japanese Third Division.

After fierce fighting, a Japanese squad captured a small hill to the right of the Wusong Fort, and Feng Muhua was given the task of restoring that position and holding it firmly.

Before leaving, the battalion commander Zhang Wenzhong called Feng Muhua to his side and said, "Muhua, this is your first time fighting a positional battle, right?" ”

Feng Muhua knew that this day was unavoidable, as a Chinese soldier and a child of Huangpu, how could he always hide in the rear to catch spies when the national crisis was at hand, and did he catch so many spies? Killing the invading Japanese army in front of you is the royal road.

Therefore, at this time, he is not afraid, it is a blessing or a curse, it is a disaster that cannot be avoided, at this time, he is afraid that there will be a hammer to use, so many people will die, and he will not be worse than himself.

So, after receiving the battalion commander's order, Feng Muhua immediately saluted the battalion commander and said, "Report to the battalion commander." As a soldier, I have long been ready to die on the battlefield and be shrouded in horse leather. ”

"Okay." Battalion commander Zhang Wenzhong patted him on the shoulder and said with a look of relief: "It is worthy of being a soldier of my special service battalion." However, the Japanese aircraft artillery is very powerful, have you thought of a way to deal with them? ”
