Chapter 268: The Situation Has Changed Dramatically

After Huo Jiacheng took the people away, Feng Muhua immediately ordered his subordinates to clean up the battlefield and collect all the weapons and ammunition of the devils.

This group of plainclothes teams is very well-equipped, everyone is equipped with box guns, and the firepower is very ferocious. Feng Muhua gathered all their pistols and assigned them to the hands of the third platoon commander, Jiao Litian, and said, "Jiao Litian, from now on, each of your platoons will be equipped with a pistol and be the commando of our company." On weekdays, it is the fiercest thing that your kid yells, and at the critical moment, if you can't stand up, be careful that Lao Tzu peels your skin. ”

These pistols were all new Browning pistols, which were still very rare in this era, and only officers could wear them, and now each of their three platoons was equipped with a pistol, and the firepower was too fierce.

Although the role of the pistol in long-distance combat is not great, the role in close-range combat is immeasurable, at least much better than the bayonet. When there was no submachine gun, if each person in the assault team could be equipped with a pistol, it would be the same equipment as a local tyrant.

Looking at these brand-new Browning subordinates, Jiao Litian's eyes were full of golden light, and he kept rubbing his hands, and said with a smile: "Company commander, don't worry." I don't dare to say that our platoon is definitely at the forefront of the whole company when we are fighting. ”

After that, he glanced at the two machine guns of the devil with a sneer, like an old bachelor seeing a big girl, smiled evilly, and said: "Company commander, or those two machine guns will also be lined up for us, and we will strengthen our long-range firepower." ”

Feng Muhua kicked his buttocks, glared and scolded, "You want to be beautiful!" You have the credit for this battle? If you don't drive the little devils into this grove in one row and two rows, can you kid win the battle? Lao Tzu gave you all the pistols to you, and you still dare to ask for a machine gun? What do you commandos want so many machine guns for? Machine guns are placed in the back to suppress enemy fire, have you ever seen a charge with a machine gun? Tired you kid! ”

Feng Muhua also has his own difficulties in this arrangement, he is the company commander of the entire third company, not the platoon commander of the third platoon, no matter what, he has to have a bowl of water at any time. Otherwise, if you give all the good things to the third platoon, the morale of the third platoon will rise, but the other two platoons will have an opinion on him, and the gains will outweigh the losses.

Moreover, from a military point of view, the assault team really does not use so many machine guns, and the machine guns are used to suppress the enemy's firepower. Therefore, Feng Muhua equipped the pistol to the three platoons that were ready to be used as commandos in the future, and divided the machine guns among the remaining two platoons.

The platoon commanders of the two platoons noticed that Jiao Litian actually hit their machine guns, and they were suddenly anxious, and the two sang and harmonized, and sneered at Jiao Litian: "Old Jiao, you are too shameless." You didn't fight the battle alone, so many pistols were given to you, you kid still want to swallow the machine gun alone. ”

"Yes, you kid looks so loyal, why is your heart so black? It's really unseemly. ”

Jiao Litian was blushed and his neck was thick when the two of them said a word, coughed embarrassedly, blushed his old face, and said, "Doesn't I want to give us a few more victories?" ”

"You're just going to win, huh? Lao Tzu's platoon is just an ornament? Liu Ziang, the second platoon leader, still refused to let him go, and said in a strange tone.

"That is, Lao Tzu's platoon broke through the devil's defense line with a single charge, which is called not fighting?" Huo Jiacheng, the leader of the platoon, refused to let him go, gave him a blank look, and said proudly.

Although the platoon just now broke through under the leadership of Feng Muhua, the soldiers were all soldiers in the platoon, and there was nothing wrong with the platoon leader saying that it was the enemy's defense line that their platoon had broken through.

"Alright, alright. Stop bickering. Hurry up and pack up Lao Tzu's things and go back to life. Feng Muhua is very speechless to these people, leaders will always encounter such problems, subordinates will always fight for this and that, a truly harmonious thing is impossible, this is the time to test the art of leadership, smart leaders can turn their struggle into the motivation for their hard work, low-level leaders may fall apart, so that the team is not united, and then affect the work.

In fact, such a thing is not difficult to deal with, as long as the leader does a good job of impartially enforcing the law, whether it is a reward or a punishment, he must be able to convince the public, so that no one can say anything.

Feng Muhua asked himself if he could handle this matter, he didn't make people feel hugely dissatisfied, he brought all the devil's equipment, and when he left, he gave the captain of the security team ten thirty-eight big covers as a reward, and then took the team back to resume his life.

The members of the security team are all using old sleeves, which are toys in the eyes of the Japanese, and they can also be used to shoot rabbits.

However, he said that after Feng Muhua returned to the unit, he first made a report to the battalion commander, and in this operation, three companies attacked and annihilated 34 Japanese plainclothes troops, captured eight alive, seized a number of weapons and ammunition, and killed eight and wounded 17 others.

This was already a very good record on the Songhu battlefield at that time, and on the Songhu battlefield, it was already very good for five Chinese soldiers to be able to exchange for a Japanese soldier, and now, Feng Muhua actually killed thirty-four devils at the cost of eight dead, and captured eight alive, and the battle loss ratio was also five to one, but it was turned over.

After the battle report was reported, Feng Muhua was immediately praised by his superiors, was credited with meritorious service once, and was ordered to continue to clear the plainclothes team of the Japanese army to ensure the safety of the rear of the main force of the division.

Feng Muhua knew that the reason why he was able to achieve such a brilliant record was mainly because he attacked with superior forces, coupled with the fact that Japan did not have heavy weapons, and it was caused by the unstable morale of the army because he was fighting in the rear.

This does not mean that the Japanese devils are easy to fight, and if they despise the Japanese army because of this small victory, they will definitely suffer a big loss in the future.

Feng Muhua walked on thin ice, continued to be active in the rear battlefield with his three companies, and eliminated several Japanese plainclothes teams in a row, and achieved good results.

Just when Feng Muhua was concentrating on encircling and suppressing the Japanese plainclothes team, the battlefield situation in the Sino-Japanese Battle of Songhu changed dramatically.

First of all, on the Japanese side, General Matsui Ishone, the commander-in-chief of the Japanese invasion of China in Shanghai, is an old devil with very rich combat experience, and what is even worse is that this product has previously served as a military attache of the Japanese consulate in China, and has been in Shanghai for more than ten years, so he is very familiar with every grass and tree in Shanghai, and claims to fight in Shanghai without a map.

Matsui Ishine deserves to be a star in the Japanese military circles, and after coming to Shanghai, after taking a few looks, he put the main direction of attack on Luodian.

Open the map of Shanghai, you can see that Luodian is a traffic artery, which extends in all directions, and can communicate almost the whole of Shanghai, as long as you take here, you can cut off the connection between Shanghai and Suzhou, and complete the encirclement of the left flank of the Chinese army.

Matsui Ishine led the reinforcements as soon as they came to Shanghai and smashed their fists here, and since there was no Chinese blocking force in Luodian at this time, Fujita Shinbu of the Japanese 3rd Division easily took Luodian.

At this time, Chen Cheng, who was supervising the battle in Shanghai and was in charge of the left-wing army, was anxious, and directly asked Luo Zhuoying to send someone to restore Luodian, and issued a death order.

In this way, the Chinese and Japanese armies launched a two-month tug-of-war in Luodian, turning Luodian, which has an area of less than 70,000 square meters, into a flesh mill. As we all know, the Battle of Luodian was the most tragic battle of the Battle of Songhu, to what extent was it tragic? A neat battalion of the national army, with hundreds of people, rushed up and was wiped out in ten minutes at the earliest.

Because the fighting was too intensive, the soldiers did not have time to build bunkers, so they used the corpses of their comrades to block the bullets.

Those who have not experienced humiliating years will never know the meaning of glory.

The Chinese army was also anxious, and basically transferred all the troops that could fight to support Luodian, including Chen Cheng's old army of the 18th Army, Wang Yaowu's 51st Division, Yu Jishi's 58th Division, and Peng Shan's 11th Division.

It was at this time that Yu Jishi's 58th Division and Wang Yaowu's 51st Division merged to form the 74th Army, with Yu Jishi as the commander, and this legendary unit was born.

In the battle of Luodian, some generals who later became famous at home and abroad also began to emerge, the most famous of which were Hu Lian of the 11th Division and Zhang Lingfu of the 51st Division.

Due to the courageous resistance of the Chinese army, Matsui Shigen took Luodian and outflanked the Chinese Left Wing Corps' strategic intention was not realized.

This product is simply a bad stomach, and if you can't make a plan, you will have another plan. Seeing that Luodian couldn't open his mouth, the eyes of the old devil Matsui Shigen pulled back and forth, and finally fell on Baoshan.

Because although the Japanese army successfully landed at this moment, its landing site was not connected to the city, and basically belonged to the 11th Division and the 3rd Division, and if they wanted to connect their landing sites, they had to take Baoshan, which was located in the middle of Wusong, Shishilin, and Chuanshakou.

So, Matsui Shigen gave an order and ordered the main force of the 3rd Division and the 11th Division to attack left and right to take Baoshan.

The defense of Baoshan was the sixth division of the national army, and the sixth division was unable to support the powerful offensive of the Japanese army, and was defeated and retreated, and Baoshan was lost for the first time.

Chen Cheng handed over the task of restoring Baoshan to the 98th Division of Xia Chuzhong, and still gave a death order: Baoshan is no more, come and see you!

Xia Chuzhong exhausted a brigade and finally restored Baoshan. After the recovery of Baoshan, Gu Zhutong, deputy commander of the Third Theater of Operations, gave Chen Cheng an order to leave at least one battalion to defend Baoshan.

As a result, this task fell on the shoulders of Yao Ziqing, the battalion commander of the 98th Division, and anyone who is a little familiar with the history of the Anti-Japanese War will know Yao Ziqing. This thin man with eyes and looking at Si Svenwen is a tough guy with iron bones.

The Japanese army was responsible for attacking Baoshan again by the 3rd Division, the 68th Wing of the Takamori Takabu. As everyone knows, in the early days of the Anti-Japanese War, the combat effectiveness of the Japanese army was very strong, and it was very common for a wing to defeat a Chinese division.

Battalion Commander Yao Ziqing, with the strength of a mere battalion, was stunned to withstand the attack of an entire wing of the Japanese army for a week, and the Japanese army also used planes, artillery, tanks, warships, and so on to constantly and indiscriminately bombard the positions of the Chinese defenders. In the end, all the officers and soldiers of Yao Ziqing's battalion died heroically and did not survive.

At that time, Battalion Commander Yao Ziqing was not yet 30 years old.

Afterwards, the Nationalist Government posthumously awarded Yao Ziqing as a major general of the army, and until now, there are bronze statues of Yao Ziqing and Ziqing Road in Shanghai. History will always remember those who should be remembered.

After the second loss of Baoshan, the situation on the Songhu battlefield changed abruptly, all the landing points of the Japanese army were connected, and the Chinese army was no longer able to launch an offensive and was forced to turn to the defensive on all fronts.

When the second battle for Baoshan was raging, it was Hu Zongnan's first army responsible for rescuing Baoshan, but unfortunately, Hu Zongnan had not rushed over, and Baoshan had already been lost.

Hu Zongnan could only temporarily change his plan and deploy defenses in the vicinity of Liu Xing and Yang Xing. The Japanese gained an inch, and after taking Baoshan, they began to attack the southern part of Huzong.

Hu Zongnan was very famous, he was always considered the chief of the Whampoa students at that time, and he was the most important disciple of Chiang Kai-shek, which can be seen from his promotion resume - the commander of the First Brigade, the commander of the First Division, and the commander of the First Army. Every time, he will come out on top among his classmates.

However, this person's command ability is indeed very average, and he has never won a very beautiful battle for many years in the army.

However, since he can be so valued by Chairman Chiang, he must have his own merits, and his outstanding thing is that he works in a real way, and does not complain of hardship or tiredness.

The Battle of Songhu was fought very fiercely, and Gu Zhutong, deputy commander of the Third Theater, would receive a large number of distress calls every day, which made him anxious all day long.

However, after Hu Zong went south, he did not make a single phone call, and after three days of hard fighting in Liu Xing and Yang Xing, the casualties of the First Army reached 80 percent.

That's it, Hu Zongnan didn't call Gu Zhutong a single phone, and when Gu Zhutong remembered that he called him to ask him how the situation was, Hu Zongnan said: "Brother, if you don't call, I'll go up with a gun myself." ”

In Yuepu, not far from Baoshan, the 14th Division of the National Army was also besieged by the Japanese army and suffered heavy casualties. Guo Rugui, chief of staff of the division, left these last words to the division commander Huo Yuzhang:

My 8,000 athletes have been sacrificed, the enemy's offensive is not weakened, the future is uncertain, if the position exists, I will survive to see Junza. If the position is lost, I will die on the field, and I will be anointed with weeds. After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, you, as a famous general, took a ship through Wusongkou, if there were waves like mountains, then I came to see you.

Decades later, when I read it again, I still burst into tears.
