Under the command of Li Yutang, the troops of the 3rd Division were stationed on the south bank of Fuzaobang with the 16th Regiment of the 9th Brigade with better strength and equipment, reorganized their positions, set up anti-artillery bunkers, and kept their busy feet on the ground. The 16th Regiment was placed on the front line as the vanguard.

"Ding, ding, ding......" The phone of the 16th Regiment Headquarters rang, and the staff officer of the regimental headquarters immediately picked up the phone and said, "This is the headquarters of the 16th Regiment."

"I'm Li Yutang, looking for He Jianye to listen to the phone." Li Yutang on the other end of the phone was a little anxious,

"Hey, Master, I'm He Jianye." He Jianye picked up the microphone and said,

"He Jianye, the Japanese army opposite you is the 9th Division of the Japanese Army, the commander of the division is Lieutenant General Ryosuke Yoshika, the troops that broke into the south bank of Fumohama are a squadron of the 36th Infantry Wing and the 9th Mountain Artillery Wing led by the 18th Infantry Brigade under his command, the 134th Division of the 20th Army was fought very hard in front, it was time to show the elite strength of the Central Army; The command of the group army ordered that my third division must be engaged in battle by October 18, and that the 36th Wing on the opposite side be eliminated with the cooperation of friendly forces; The Third Division is behind you, you are the vanguard of the Third Division, give me a good luck, remember not to be brutal, the Third Division will support you at any time; Clear? Li Yutang said,

"Yes, Commander!" He Jianye should be loud,

"Notify the reconnaissance company Yang Xiaoshi to come over." He Jianye ordered, and after Yang Xiaoshi arrived in stride, He Jianye pointed to the map and said to Yang Xiaoshi, "You see, opposite the 174th Division is the 36th Wing, which has strengthened a mountain artillery squadron; According to the structure of the Japanese wing, in a general sense, it is the first level of the Chinese regiment, with three infantry brigades under its jurisdiction, and an artillery squadron directly under the wing. The infantry squadron consists of four infantry squadrons and one machine gun squadron, and the infantry squadron consists of three infantry squads with one machine gun group (two light machine guns), one grenadier group (two grenadiers) and two rifle groups. The Japanese army claims that one wing can defeat one of our elite central divisions. The 134th Division worked very hard at the top of the front line, facing repeated bombardments from Japanese naval guns, aircraft, and large-caliber heavy artillery every day, and our division was ordered to launch a surprise attack on the enemy on the opposite side within two days and strive to completely annihilate it. In this way, when you go back, you pick 12 clever warriors and change them all into civilian clothes; At about 6 o'clock in the evening today, I personally led to feel the situation. Do you understand? ”

"Regiment Commander, I'll just go for this kind of thing, you better stay at the regiment headquarters and wait for the report; You still don't worry about our reconnaissance company! You can't go wrong with intelligence. Yang Xiaoshi said,

"No, I have to see for myself so I can take the next step! Let's do it right away!" He Jianye shook his head and refused,

At half past five o'clock in the afternoon, the reconnaissance team gathered at the regiment headquarters, He Jianye took Zeng Da to meet the team of 12 people, each of them had two box guns, and all the plainclothes went to the city, along the way, under the cover of ruins and buildings, He Jianye gradually touched towards Yunzaobang, and saw from a distance that the Japanese army was bombarding the position of the 174th Division with naval guns at dusk, and He Jianye saw that it was very difficult to feel two kilometers away from the temporary station of the 36th Wing. The Japanese patrol team and the machine gun position set up a cordon so that He Jianye would be exposed if he didn't pay attention to it, signaling the team members to hide themselves, He Jianye barely climbed into a distance of 1500 meters with the help of the grass on the shore, took out the binoculars, the Japanese military camp in the mirror, the guard posts were numerous, the swimming sentries were basically patrolling without dead ends and gaps, and the rest of the soldiers were having dinner in the barracks; The artillery position was set up on the shore opposite the Umohama, so that the Chinese soldiers lost the idea of ending the artillery position when they looked at the patrol boats and warships swimming in the Umohama.

He Jianye slowly retreated, gestured to the team members, and returned to the regiment headquarters smoothly under the cover of the night.

"Division commander, just now I went to find out the situation of the 36th Wing on the opposite side, the barracks are very close to the shore, under the cover of patrol boats and artillery on the opposite bank, it is basically impossible to launch a surprise attack on it, only a strong attack! But this is likely to result in heavy casualties and little effect. As soon as He Jianye returned to the regiment headquarters, he reported to the division commander,

"You've been to see it all once, what do you think?" Li Yutang asked,

"Division commander, the two 75-mm field guns of our regiment did not arrive in Shanghai with them this time, and the 75-mm guns of the division headquarters had a range of 9 kilometers? If anything, my suggestion is that the 21st Army on the liaison position advance the line as a whole two kilometers forward tomorrow at dusk, hold it for an hour, buy time for the deployment of artillery, and use the artillery battalions of the division headquarters to destroy the Japanese artillery positions when the Japanese aviation and artillery cannot bombard at night, so that we can take the opportunity to launch an attack and strive to destroy the 36th Wing that has broken through to the south bank of Yunzaohama in one night; After a long time, I am afraid that the Japanese will soon have troops to continue to cross the south bank. He Jianye said in one breath,

"He Jianye, let me tell you clearly, the 75-mm field guns of the artillery battalion of the division headquarters also do not have a range of 9 kilometers, and not every field gun has the luxury data of the Bofors 75-mm field guns, but what do you think, I asked the combat staff to report to the Ninth Army Headquarters overnight after making a battle plan, and I don't know if it can be approved. In short, you must be prepared for a fierce and bitter battle. Li Yutang said sternly,

"Yes, division commander, all of my 16th Regiment will definitely live up to expectations! Determined to fight the Japanese army to the death! He Jianye immediately said in a sonorous voice.

"Ding, ding, ding......" At 4 o'clock in the evening, the phone of the 16th Regiment Headquarters rang, and He Jianye, who was on duty at the regiment headquarters and did not sleep, grabbed the microphone and said, "This is the 16th Regiment, I am He Jianye." ”

"He Jianye, I'm Li Yutang; The command of the army group rejected your proposal and decided to launch a frontal attack on the 36th Wing that broke through to the south bank of the Mozahama with the help of the 9th and 21st armies of the Central Army, with the help of the 19th and 15th armies on the left flank. Li Yutang ordered,

He Jianye, who put down the earpiece, had no intention of sleeping, and came to mind that under the bombardment of artillery, the Chinese soldiers rushed to the Japanese position with rudimentary rifles and crowds, and were killed by artillery and machine guns on the land on the south bank of Yunzaobang, just like described in history, there were countless casualties, but still could not achieve the strategic goal, most of the Japanese Ninth Division and part of the 15th Division would still steadily capture Yunzaobang, and then march in the direction of Dachang.

"What should I do" He Jianye began to think hard, He Jianye, who really had no clue, knew that he still didn't have a clue when it was dawn.

Zhu Shaoliang, commander-in-chief of the Central Army, placed the troops on the south bank of Fuzaobang under the unified command of Liao Lei, commander-in-chief of the 21st Group Army, to resist the attack of the Japanese army, and fought until the evening of October 18, when the 133rd and 134th divisions of the 20th Army suffered heavy losses and were redeployed to the rear for reorganization, and the positions were replaced by the 173rd and 174th divisions of the 48th Army. On October 18, the 3rd Theater ordered the Central Army to attack the Japanese troops from both sides of Fumohama in order to break the Japanese troops that had broken through to the southern bank of Fumohama.
