Let's not talk about Wang Jiageng and Wang Jiayi brothers and sisters, and then let's talk about the little devils. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

At this time, not only Jiading County has been lost, but also Baoshan County has been lost, of course, this is also related to the Songhu Military Division did not defend to the death, because Wang Husheng only ordered Luodian to defend to the death, and it was precisely because of Luodian's death that the follow-up troops of the 20th Division were forced to detour to Baoshan and Jiading after going ashore from the Lion Forest.

By about 9 o'clock in the evening, the 77th Infantry Wing, the 79th Infantry Wing, and the 80th Infantry Wing, which belonged to the 20th Division, had completed the encirclement of Jiangwan Town from the north, west, and east.

It should be noted that at this time, the headquarters of the 12th Army had already moved to Taicang, and the headquarters of the 20th Division had also moved from Liuhe to Taicang, and the two headquarters were not even 100 meters apart.

On the question of whether or not to launch an attack on the town of Jiangwan overnight, the commander of the 12th Army, Kawagishi Bunzaburo, and the commander of the 20th Division, Minoru Ushijima, often had serious differences of opinion.

Ushijima always believed that an attack should not be launched at night, because the air force could not be dispatched at night due to the light, and the observation troops lifted off with the help of hot air balloons could not guide the naval guns to carry out accurate artillery strikes, and even the 26th Field Artillery Wing, which was directly under the 20th Division, would greatly reduce its operational efficiency.

That is to say, if the Japanese attack at night, the Japanese army will completely lose its artillery superiority, which is undoubtedly extremely unfavorable for the Japanese army, because it can be seen from the bloody battle of Luodian that the troops of the Communist Songhu Military Division are extremely effective in combat, and they are even superior to their Japanese troops in terms of the firepower of small arms.

Therefore, Ushijima always resolutely opposed the overnight attack.

However, Kawagishi Bunzaburo insisted on attacking at night.

The reason why Kawagishi Bunzaburo insisted on launching an attack overnight was all because of Hideki Tojo.

Because Tojo Hideki's order to Kawagishi Bunzaburo was to keep Jiangwan as a strategic fulcrum at all costs, but now the troops of the Songhu Military Subdistrict are storming Jiangwan Airport, and according to the report of the airport defenders, the Chinese offensive is very fierce, and if reinforcements do not arrive, they will hold out for three or five hours at most, and they will definitely lose before dawn.

Minoru Ushijima and Kawagishi Fumizaburo couldn't convince anyone, and finally began to quarrel fiercely.

Although Kawagishi Bunzaburo is the commander of the Twelfth Army and the nominal commander of Ushijima Minoru, he is only a nominal commander, because Ushijima Minoru's military rank is also lieutenant general, which is the same as Kawagishi Bunzaburo's military rank! If Ushijima really wants to be more serious, Kawagishi Bunzaburo doesn't have anything to do with him.

"Ushijima-kun, I want to remind you that this is an order from the army base camp!" Kawagishi Fumizaburo slammed the table and roared hoarsely, "The base camp has ordered our Twelfth Army to keep the strategic fulcrum of Jiangwan at all costs, no matter what, and I hope you can seriously consider it." ”

"Kawagishi-kun, I also want to solemnly remind you that if you rashly attack at night, our 20th Division will pay an unimaginable heavy price!" Ushijima often sneered, "The order of the base camp is to ask us to keep the Jiangwan airfield, but the base camp does not understand the actual situation on the front line. ”

Kawagishi Fumizaburo said angrily: "An order is an order, as a soldier, you dare to disobey orders?!" ”

Ushijima also said angrily: "Kawagishi-kun, you can eat the rice first, you can't talk nonsense, I never said that I would disobey the order, and I never said that I would not fight Jiangwan, and I never said that I don't want to keep Jiangwan as a strategic fulcrum!" I mean, you can't rush the attack, and it's not too late to attack after dawn! ”

"You're quibbling!" Kawagishi Fumizaburo said angrily, "Didn't you see Nakamura-kun's telegram? Nakamura-kun has already said very clearly, they can only hold out for three or five hours at most, if the reinforcements can't arrive again, Jiangwan Airport will definitely be declared lost before dawn, and if it really waits until dawn, even the daylily will be cold. ”

"Jun Nakamura? Nakamura's words are not credible! Ushijima Minoru said coldly, "According to the investigation before the death of Inu-kun, the missing Kagesa Zhenzhao is certainly the most suspicious, but Nakamura Jun is also suspicious, and before his suspicion is washed away, no matter what he says, it is not credible, and there is no need to inform him if there is any important military information in the future." ”

"I also agree with this, from now on, whenever there is important military information, there is really no need to inform Nakamura-kun." Kawagishi Bunzaburo nodded first, and then shook his head, "But one yard is one yard, in the matter of the danger at Jiangwan Airport, it is not only Nakamura Jun who is in a hurry, but also Shimada-kun from the Third Division!" ”

The Shimada that Kawagishi Bunzaburo said was the captain of the infantry brigade that was airlifted from Pukou to Jiangwan Town, and the Songhu Army Division's offensive against Jiangwan was indeed very fierce, especially after nightfall, Wang Husheng ordered the four main battalions to strengthen the offensive, so not only Nakamura Jun, but also the Shimada Brigade sent a telegram asking for help to the headquarters of the 12th Army.

But Ushijima still shook his head: "Shimada-kun's words may not be the truth, before our 20th Division arrived in Shanghai, they have been holding out for so long, is it really so difficult to hold on for another night, until dawn tomorrow?" Kawagishi-kun, as the head coach, needs to be judged. ”

Kawagishi Bunzaburo was so angry that he vomited blood, this real island is really not in oil and salt.

Jiangwan Town, Temporary Headquarters of Songhu Military Division.

Wang Husheng has become an ant on a hot pot, pacing back and forth in the command headquarters, the little devil has been rushing outside Jiangwan Town for almost two hours, but he has been reluctant to attack, and he has not even entered the buildings on the periphery of Jiangwan Town, which makes Wang Husheng feel that his breath is almost stagnant, could it be that the devil smells the smell?

Could it be that the little devil has already sensed that there is an ambush in Jiangwan Town?

Otherwise, how could the little devil suddenly stop and stop attacking?

This is completely illogical, this is not the usual style of little devils at all!

Wang Husheng couldn't help but start thinking nonsense, and what made him feel even more anxious was that now he couldn't even find someone to discuss, Xu Rui was still with the devil at Jiangwan Airport, Xie Yuan and Yang Rui had already gone down to the front-line troops, and Jiang Nan and Liu Mei stayed in the rear and were responsible for the logistics of the troops.

At this time, Wang Husheng could only count on Xu Rui to come over with an emergency order.

Otherwise, Wang Husheng is really going crazy, he really can't pick up this burden!

Fortunately, Xu Rui did not disappoint Wang Husheng, or Xu Rui did know Wang Husheng very well, so at this juncture, he quietly let the sweet potato cross the line of fire and sent instructions to Wang Husheng, Xu Rui's instructions were only one point, and immediately ordered the four main battalions to launch a general attack on Jiangwan Airport.

After receiving Xu Rui's instructions, Wang Husheng finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Immediately, Wang Husheng gave the order to the four main battalions to attack generally!

It must be admitted that Xu Rui's battlefield sense of smell and battlefield insight are really strong.

From the fact that the main force of the 20th Division did not launch an attack immediately after rushing to Jiangwan, Xu Rui keenly judged that the little devil still had doubts about attacking Jiangwan at night! This is also human nature, the devil is not good at night fighting, and he can't give full play to the devil's heavy weapon advantage at night, and Xu Rui is the commander of the Japanese army, and he will not choose to attack at night.

But Xu Rui must force the devils to attack at night, not only will the devils have aviation to help them fight after dawn, and there will be large-caliber naval guns to cooperate, but more importantly, after dawn, there is a high probability that the layout of the Songhu Military Division in Jiangwan Town will be discovered by the devils! In any case, it was thousands of kilograms of explosives and dozens of tons of fertilizer, so many materials, and they were flammable and explosive, no matter how well they were camouflaged, it was impossible not to show a flaw!

Only at night can this possibility be minimized!

So, be sure to force the devils to attack at night!

Ushijima Minoru was still arguing fiercely with Kawagishi Bunzaburo at his divisional headquarters.

However, while the two were arguing, the chief of staff of the 20th Division, Uchida Ginnosuke, suddenly hurried in and reported to Ushijima Minoru Shizune: "Division commander, I have just received a farewell telegram from Shimada-kun, saying that a quarter of an hour ago, the Communist Songhu Military Division suddenly launched a general attack, and after a quarter of an hour of fierce fighting, the south stand guarded by Shimada's brigade was declared lost. ”

"Yaga!" Kawagishi Bunzaburo was really completely furious at this time, waving his arm, and yelled at Ushijima, "Ushijima-kun, if the decisive counterattack of the Shimada brigade cannot take back the south stand, if it cannot drive the Chinese out, even if the stands on the other three sides are not lost, it will be meaningless, because the Chinese can destroy the airport runway from the south stand!" If the runway is destroyed, the entire airport will cease to exist, and the plan proposed by the base camp to use Jiangwan as a fulcrum and attack the downtown area of Shanghai will come to naught. ”

Ushijima's determination was finally shaken a little.

Seriously, Ushijima Minoru actually didn't dare to ignore Tojo Hideki's orders, Tojo Hideki was able to overturn even Itagaki Seishiro, and it wasn't easy to overturn him Ushijima Minoru? Ushijima would never dare to provoke Hideki Tojo, and the reason why he was reluctant to launch an attack was because he was lucky, thinking that the defenders of Jiangwan Airport could hold out until dawn!

But now it seems that the defenders of Jiangwan Airport really can't hold out until dawn.

This can't be ignored, Jiangwan Airport is really going to be lost, and Hideki Tojo will go crazy!
