Chapter Seventy-Six: The Battle of Songjiang (15)

Let's say that after Bai Fei taught the operation method of 107, he allocated 100 rounds of ammunition to the artillery battalion for them to practice. After the arrangement was completed, we returned to Mishidu.

On the way, Bai Fei said to Li Hu: "Let the brothers be vigilant and closely monitor the up and down the river, today's devil behavior is a little abnormal." ”

Sure enough, at one o'clock in the afternoon, news suddenly came back that a large force of about 20,000 Japanese troops crossed the port of Dazheng from the Sisheng site, and then marched rapidly eastward, and had a fierce exchange of fire with the defender 67th Army in the area of Xietang. Although after the desperate resistance of the officers and men of the 107th Division, the Japanese army has not crossed the Xietang for the time being, but the Japanese army has brought great damage to the defenders by virtue of the sharpness of its artillery. In a short period of time, the 107th Division has suffered heavy casualties, Zhu Zhirong, the commander of the 321st Brigade of the division, died, and other regiments and battalion commanders also suffered many casualties; The 322nd Brigade of the 108th Division, which went to support, also suffered heavy casualties, with as many as 1,100 soldiers killed and even more wounded.

After Bai Fei learned about the situation, he immediately planned to take people to help, but when he was dispatching troops, a scout suddenly came to report that a group of Japanese troops had appeared in the Shihejing area on the other side of the upper reaches of the Mishi River.

Bai Fei immediately went to check, and sure enough, he saw the Japanese soldiers on the other side of the river, who seemed to be preparing tools to cross the river, but they were not in a hurry, and they seemed to be quite unhurried and fearless.

Wang Weiguo sighed beside him: "Little devil, this is calculated that we will go to reinforcements, so we set up a team of Japanese troops here and Yangjiajiao, if we transfer troops to Xietang for reinforcements, they will definitely take the opportunity to cross the river, if we do not move..."

Xu Changsheng continued: "If we don't move, the Xietang line will not be able to hold at all, and now the Japanese army is not only stronger than the 67th Army in terms of firepower, but also has more people than them." ”

Wang Weiguo nodded: "Shihejing and Yangjiajiao, one is in the upper reaches of Mishidu, the other is in the lower reaches of Mishidu, and they are both far away from the range of positions we have built, if the Japanese army really crosses the river from these two places, we must have enough manpower to defend." ”

Bai Fei observed for a while, then turned around and went back. Along the way, he was silent, and after returning to the command post, he said to everyone: "The 67th Army must be rescued, otherwise once the Xietang line is lost, the Japanese army can threaten Songjiang City when it advances, and it can outflank us in a roundabout way when it retreats, and then we will be in a situation where we will be attacked by the enemy on our backs." However, the defense here could not be relaxed, lest the Japanese take the opportunity to cross the river. ”

He then asked Wu Dazhong: "107 How are you training?" ”

Wu Dazhong said: "This kind of cannon is simple to operate, and after a few hours of practice, we have mastered it all. ”

Bai Fei nodded and said, "That's good." I'll dress you up in a moment. ”

After a pause, he said again: "This time, the defense along the Huangpu River mainly depends on your artillery battalion, as long as the devil dares to go into the water, you will bomb me hard." ”

Wu Dazhong nodded yes.

After the meeting, Bai Fei first distributed the 20 12-barreled artillery vehicles and enough ammunition to Wu Dazhong after the pre-exchanged, and despite the opposition of Wang Weiguo and Xu Changsheng, he personally led the special combat team, the sniper team, and 100 people drawn from the 2nd Battalion, carrying 70 RPGs and 4 Gatlings, to Xietang for reinforcements.

Before leaving, he said to Wang Weiguo and others: "Try not to get too close to the enemy in defense, otherwise once the Japanese army opens fire, we will definitely suffer heavy losses." ”

Wang Weiguo said: "Don't worry, I know, I have ordered people to go to Yangjiajiao and Shihejing to plant mines and explosives, and there are artillery battalions to help, once the Japanese army comes, we will destroy the invading enemy as soon as possible, and then send troops to support you." ”

Bai Fei nodded, immediately led the people to set off, marched quickly all the way, and after an hour, arrived near Dagang Town.

Everyone stopped and looked westward, only to see that the front was full of artillery fire, gunsmoke was filled, and the wounded were constantly being carried down from the position, and the battle was very fierce.

A captain officer who was in charge of guarding the periphery discovered Bai Fei's group and immediately brought his men up to interrogate, and when they got closer, the captain immediately said happily: "Commander Bai? How did you end up here. "It turned out that he had seen Bai Fei in Songjiang City, so he knew each other.

Bai Fei explained his intentions, and the officer immediately took them to the division headquarters, and after a while, he saw Jin Kuibi, the commander of the 107th Division, running out of the house in a hurry. Jin Kuibi was overjoyed to learn that the Protector Army had come to reinforce him, but when he saw that there were only more than three hundred people behind Bai Fei, he frowned slightly.

The two sides didn't have time to greet each other, Bai Fei went straight to the point to inquire about the battle situation, and Jin Kuibi immediately gave a brief introduction.

Originally, there was a railway bridge and a highway bridge on the Xietang River, as soon as the Japanese army came up, they took artillery shells to open the way, and launched a fierce attack along these two bridges towards the opposite bank, although the 107th Division suffered heavy casualties, but it did not retreat desperately, the two sides fought for it, and the bridge changed hands several times, but it was still in the hands of the Chinese army.

Later, the Japanese army saw that it could not be attacked for a long time, so it transferred a few tanks, and under the coordinated operation of the infantry tank, broke through the defensive position on the other side of the bridge in one fell swoop.

Bai Fei asked, "Why didn't you blow up these two bridges earlier?" ”

Jin Kuibi was puzzled: "This is the main transportation line of the Shanghai-Hangzhou railway and highway. Without the order from above, how dare I blow up..."

Bai Fei sighed and didn't say much.

Jin Kuibi said again: "Brother Bai, I am very grateful that you can come to support, but your number is a little small..."

Bai Fei explained the situation along the Huangpu River in a few words, and Jin Kuibi immediately scolded Little Japan for being treacherous and shameless.

Bai Fei said: "Now is not the time to scold, I will bring people to reinforcements, you arrange for people to transfer the wounded as soon as possible, in case the Xietang line cannot be held, we must be prepared to retreat to Songjiang." ”

Saying that, Bai Fei immediately led people to the Xietang River, and when he arrived at Sanjia Village, he happened to encounter a group of Japanese troops, about 800 people, with the coordination of seven or eight tanks, crossing the Zhangzhuang Highway and attacking Qianjiadai. The officers and men of the 107th Division fought hard to resist along the way, but suffered heavy casualties and were still unable to resist the pace of the Japanese attack.

Bai Fei saw with his own eyes that seven or eight wounded Chinese soldiers were lying on the ground, crushed to pulp by Japanese tanks, and he had no time to help. Angry, his glasses instantly turned red, and he shouted loudly: "Immediately go to me to defeat the Japanese tanks and destroy this group of Japanese soldiers." ”

"Yes!" Li Hu Li Hu shouted loudly, and immediately led people forward, aiming at the Japanese tanks that were rampage 300 meters away from the side, several rockets flew out one after another, booming a few times, and the Japanese tanks that were still showing off their might just now immediately turned into several fire coffins.

At the same time, Bai Fei ordered people to set up Gatling and shoot at the Japanese army from the front, and as soon as several large killing weapons were fired, the attacking Japanese army could resist it, but anyone who was hit by a bullet was all shattered and died in a miserable state.

The Japanese commander who led the team fought with the Protector Army, and was very impressed by this ultra-high rate of fire machine gun.

Bai Fei saw the Japanese army retreating, and was about to give the order to pursue, when he suddenly heard someone next to him shouting: "Brothers, the Protector Army has come to support us, and now the Japanese army has been repulsed, take this opportunity to recapture the position!" Come on! ”

Bai Fei looked back, and it turned out to be Jin Kuibi, the commander of the 107th Division, shouting.

As soon as Jin Kuibi's voice fell, someone immediately blew the trumpet of the charge.

The 107th Brigade of the 319th Division stationed here had been beaten by the Japanese army and retreated, and it was almost impossible to support it, and even the brigade commander Wu Qian was injured. Unexpectedly, as soon as the Protector Army came, the battle situation was reversed in just a few minutes.

At this time, when he heard the charge, the brigade commander Wu Qian, regardless of his injuries, immediately pulled out the pistol on his waist, and bravely led his subordinates to rush towards the retreating Japanese army.
