In the Beijing battlefield, the team continued to counterattack, Wujin entered the 16th Division in the city and the first defense of Wujin, Zhuang Jihua took Yang Sen as the commander-in-chief of the former enemy and commanded the 24th Group Army in a fierce battle. /。 \\

The fierce battle on the Guangde front continued, Sun Zhen led his troops to storm Suesong on the west bank of Liangxi, the 114th Division was divided and surrounded by the right flank of the whole army was annihilated, the left flank was all scattered, killed the three captains of Zhongzuo, and arrived on the west bank of the Liangxi River.

Gu Shoufu led three divisions south in the starry night, and four days later, in Si'an, he exchanged fire with Lan Yundong, who was blocking, and Lan Yundong began to be under great pressure; In order to relieve the difficulty, Ushijima and Suematsu desperately blocked Sun Zhen's counterattack on the one hand, and on the other hand, they put together two brigades to counterattack the boundary card; Zhang Xin insisted on the boundary card and blocked the end of the cow island.

On the battlefield behind enemy lines, Song Yunfei and Zhao Hanjie frequently attacked, Song Yunfei attacked Anting and destroyed the Anting Railway Station, and then jointly attacked Wusong Wharf with the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Einsatzgruppen and blew up seven wharf warehouses of the Japanese army in one fell swoop. Zhao Hanjie made a big fuss in Jiaxing, and then ran 80 miles overnight to attack the Shanghai-Hangzhou Railway and overturned an arms train.

Under the influence of Song Yunfei and Zhao Hanjie, various guerrillas appeared in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and the righteous gang hooligans, active workers, and honest peasants all pulled up a team and attacked the Japanese army everywhere, and the Japanese army was forced to shrink its stronghold, and a small group of Japanese troops did not dare to leave the stronghold at all, and the whole Jiangsu and Zhejiang were ignited with war.

Gu Zhutong cobbled together two divisions and launched a counteroffensive against the Japanese army from southern Zhejiang, and the Japanese army only had a few independent brigades and part of the puppet army troops in this direction, so it went smoothly, recovering two county towns in a row, and the Japanese army retreated to Hangzhou.

The whole situation seemed to be very good, and the team's counteroffensive was huge.

In mid-January, Du Yuming's vanguard 1st Division rushed to Guangde, Sun Zhen did not allow them to rest, and immediately let Zhang Lihui force the river near Xiafan upstream, breaking through the river in one fell swoop.

On the same day, Lan Yundong withdrew from Si'an, Gu Shoufu conquered Si'an, continued to wave his troops westward, and Lan Yundong retreated to Jieling to continue to resist.

On the same day, 10,000 men of the vanguard of the Fifth Division landed in Shanghai and immediately headed for the front line; the next day, Seishiro Itagaki led the main force of the division to land in Shanghai, and on the same night, the vanguard of the Seventh Division, which was transferred from Manchuria, landed at Wusong.

Japanese troops gathered in Shanghai. After Zhuang Jihua got the information about Wang Xiaoshan. Immediately ordered to stop the offensive on Wujin. The whole army immediately retreated to the outer defense line of Nanjing. At the same time, he telegraphed Sun Zhen. Japanese reinforcements have arrived in Shanghai; At the same time, Du Yuming was telegraphed. Speed up the march.

After Sun Zhen got the news. Intensify the offensive. Zhang Lihui is a new force. It's easy to get to the battlefield. On the way, I heard the news of Nanjing's great victory. The morale of the whole army is high. Ushijima is a tired soldier after a long war. Plus the back road was broken. Ammunition is tight. There were only a few shells left. Soldiers' ground ammunition has also begun to be available in limited quantities. There is no way to stop the tension and supply. Zhang Lihui resolutely detoured to the left. The two sides fought fiercely all night on the front line of Fengyanzhuang and Yedangou. By dawn. The Japanese army did not retreat. Zhang Lihui took advantage of the victory to pursue. Opened up the road with the boundary ridge. The pressure on the east of the blue transport suddenly decreased.

Zhang Lihui fought hard. Ushijima was forced to transfer a large number of troops to the left flank. Wang Mingzhang and Rao Guohua took the opportunity to force the crossing in the lower reaches of Liangxi. Lu Han commanded the 58th Army to break through the Japanese line from the front...... The team broke through the Liangxi defense line in an all-round way. More than 8,000 people surrounded the remnants of the end of Ushijima in the ancestral hill west of the boundary ridge.

Ushijima was in an emergency. Matsui Ishone strictly ordered Yanagawa Heisuke to increase the offensive. Be sure to clear the siege of Niujima. Yanagawa Heisuke couldn't stay in the back anymore. Personally rushed to the front. Platoon three divisions and rush forward. The Japanese army drilled into the gap and advanced. Lan Yundong's troops are weak. I can't support it. Retreat again and again. The Japanese reinforcements were only three kilometers away from the ancestral hill.

Gunfire at the ground for reinforcements. It invigorated the morale of the remnants of Ushijima Suematsu. The Ushijima Overseers blocked the north, south, and west. Suematsu personally led his troops to attack the eastern defense line of the Blue Transport. It is hoped that the connection with the reinforcements will be opened.

The eastern defense line of the Blue Movement is crumbling. Zhang Lihui was forced to abandon the offensive in the north. turned to the aid of Lan Yundong. Help Lan Yundong stabilize the defensive line. Ushijima's breakout operation was frustrated.

Sun Zhen was also anxious, the glory of annihilating the two divisions of the Japanese army and creating the glory of the team's history had already made him let go, rushed to the front line from Guangde City, and discussed methods with Wang Mingzhang, the descendant of his descendant.

In the middle of the night, the field was silent after a day of fierce fighting, and the soldiers were tired of resting in the trenches, and the drifting smoke of gunpowder obscured the stars in the sky, and the night became even darker. The Japanese officers did not dare to be careless, and several attacks by the team began at dawn. Officers walk around the trenches, cheering on the soldiers.

Since the landing in Hangzhou Bay, the 18th Division has been invincible and its morale has been high, but I did not expect that after Changxing, it was first in Si'an, then in Ueno in Lishui, and now they themselves are also surrounded. The 18th Division is not a standing division, it was only established in Kurume in early September, although the soldiers are also retired veterans, but after all, many of them are new recruits, when it goes well, it is good to say, this is not smooth, morale will be low, when the battle is fierce, you can still fight to save your life, idle, all kinds of nostalgia immediately come to mind.

"Sir, can we go back to Japan?" A soldier summoned up the courage to ask.

"Don't worry, if you can go back, the reinforcements are already coming, even if we can't arrive, we can go to the Yasukuni Shrine for a gathering." A little better the officer so comforted.

The grumpy officer angrily scolded: "Yaga, how can an imperial samurai be afraid of death, it is natural to serve the emperor." ”

Two divisions and a detachment totaled more than 60,000 people, and now there were only about 8,000 men left, and desolation hung over the position.

When attacking the city, both officers and soldiers thought that the Chinese were just like this, and the war would end soon, but now they do not see the end of the war.

"Boom!" A cold bomb exploded on the position, no one moved, now it is completely changed, it was always them who bullied the Chinese like this before, and now it is the turn of the Chinese to do this.

Suddenly there were bursts of artillery in the distance, the reinforcements were still fighting fiercely, struggling to relieve them from the siege, the soldiers were a little excited, but the officers were worried in their hearts, the reinforcements fought fiercely, but the team did not move, indicating that they were sure to block the reinforcements; Either that, or they're preparing for a more aggressive attack.

The milky white light fog spread on the position, the Japanese army was already nervous, last night there was gunfire in the east for most of the night, but there was no movement here, after a night of recuperation of the Chinese, today's offensive must be amazing.

Ushijima and Suematsu discussed overnight, Ushijima wanted to break through to the east, but Suematsu was firmly opposed, although the gunfire in the east was fierce, but the gunfire did not move, and the Chinese on other sides did not move, this is not normal, it is better to be careful, brake quietly, and wait

Surround. Chief of Staff Megumi Koto also supported Suematsu, and in the end Ushijima did not take

Sun Zhen waited outside all night, wasting a lot of ammunition, Wang Mingzhang personally led two regiments to wait all night on the road to Niudao, and after dawn, Wang Mingzhang collected his troops.

Sun Zhen had no choice but to attack again, with Lu Han's 58th Army as the main force, to carry out a strong attack, and fierce battles were fought around the ancestral hill. Ushijima and Suematsu divided their troops to resist to the death, and the Japanese soldiers resisted extremely stubbornly when they knew that they could not survive, and every position was fought over repeatedly, and only after one side was completely dead could they occupy or hold the position.

“X！ Rush to Lao Tzu! Rush up, Lao Tzu will reward a thousand oceans! Sun Zhen had no choice but to order the troops to attack and jump and curse in the headquarters.

While scolding, a large number of Japanese planes flew to the battlefield and bombed the attacking team, and the offensive suddenly frustrated; Sun Zhen began to curse the air force again, but in fact, all the strength of the Chinese air force was put into the southern front battlefield, and there was no shadow of the Chinese air force in the sky over Nanjing, but the strength of the air force had not yet recovered, and the fifty P40s that Le Yiqin took over in Kunming did not return to the Nanjing battlefield, and Gao Zhihang led the remaining twenty or thirty planes to bravely meet the Japanese planes, but they were outnumbered and could only support themselves, and the fatigue of the pilots increased greatly, and the casualties increased significantly, and even Li Guidan was wounded

The southern front was surrounded, and the ground could not be beaten, and the Japanese army could only provide support through the sky, and the main forces of the air force and ground had moved south, with fire support and empty supplies, if it were not for the support from heaven, Ushijima and Suematsu would not be able to support it.

Taking advantage of the support of the air force, Ushijima and Suematsu counterattacked, taking the opportunity to regain the two positions they had just lost; But as soon as the plane left, the team attacked again and recaptured the two positions.

Gu Shoufu was also desperately attacking on the periphery, Lan Yundong and Zhang Lihui joined hands to resist, and the two sides fought evenly.

For three days, the fierce battle lasted for three whole days; The follow-up troops led by Du Yuming, Wang Guobin and Situ Fei, rushed to the battlefield, but within three days, the main forces of the Japanese Fifth Division and the Tenth Division also rushed to the battlefield on the northern front, starting from Wujin to attack Danyang, and captured Danyang in only one day, and Yang Sen led his troops to retreat to Jurong.

"At the end of the strong crossbow, you can't wear Lu Jin, and Nanjing can't hold it." Zhuang Jihua sighed, Jiang Baili looked at him, showing deep regret, if he could annihilate the two divisions of the southern front before the arrival of Japanese reinforcements, the main force of the southern front would go north, and Nanjing would still be able to hold it, but now...

"Du Guangting has gone to the front line, we can buy them some time." Fu Chang gritted his teeth and said, the two divisions have already bitten their mouths, but they are about to fly, and it is uncomfortable for anyone to put it on them.

"That's all I have to do now." Zhuang Jihua hesitated, he was a little worried, the Sixth Division would not be able to attack for a long time, and if Matsui quickly transferred reinforcements to the southern front, the main force on the southern front would be in danger.

"Give them three days, no, two days, two days, and if you can't annihilate Ushijima and Suematsu in two days, you will resolutely give up." Zhuang Jihua said firmly.

"Two days? I'm afraid it's a little hard. Jiang Baili said: "The last time they called, it was estimated that there were still 6,000 Japanese soldiers, and it would take at least five days to eat them." ”

Lan Yundong ate 3,000 people in Kunizaki in three days, but there was an element of luck, the two sides disrupted the battle, and happened to eat the other party's headquarters, and now it is attacking the established position of the Japanese army, which cannot be said on the same day at all, it is much more difficult, and two days is not enough time anyway.

"It's only two days," Mr. Zhuang insisted.

"We can drag on for four days, and hold on to Nanjing for four days." Fu Chang was very puzzled: "The outer position is still in our hands, I have calculated that we can hold the compound position for two days, so calculated, we can hold on for at least five days, and it will not affect our retreat at all." ”

"You can't just see the city of Nanjing, what if Banyuan doesn't attack Nanjing, but turns around and goes south?" Zhuang Jihua walked to the map and drew a line on Taihu Lake: "Gu Shoufu forcibly crossed Taihu Lake, you can also forcibly cross Taihu Lake again in Japanese dramas, only the Fifth Division, the Tenth Division and the Seventh Division in Wujin City went?" I wouldn't be surprised if they suddenly appeared in Changxing. ”

Fu Chang was dumbfounded, and Jiang Baili silently looked at the map, feeling that it might be wishful thinking to hold on to Nanjing to attract the main force of the Japanese army.

"How many boats do they have? Two divisions, more than 50,000 people, so many ships? Fu Chang said in disbelief.

"I agree with Commander Zhuang's judgment that there are at least 50,000 large and small ships in the Taihu Lake Basin." Zhou Lan sighed and said, "Besides, small Japanese ships can also sail into Taihu Lake." Last time, Gu Shoufu transported one division at a time, so this time I can say that I can come over with a multi-division. ”

"That's it, two days, no more." Zhuang Jihua didn't want to argue, even when the Japanese army retreated, he only slept for four hours.

After Yang Sen retreated to Wujin, the Japanese army was late, so he waited for half a day, and he did not have the enthusiasm at the beginning. When the Japanese arrived, they did not attack immediately, but prepared for a long time before launching a probing attack before dark.

After Zhuang Jihua received the report, his face was a little pale, and he continuously asked the Japanese army about the intensity of the attack and the number, and Yang Sen called back, the number was still the Fifth Division, and the attack intensity was not large.

This action made Zhuang Jihua a little uncertain, and at this moment, Ye Zhao reported that Jintan was lost, and this time the 66th Army retreated to Jintan, and Guo Xun withdrew with Yang Sen to defend Danyang.

"It seems that our judgment is right, the Japanese army is rushing to the main force of the southern front." Fu Chang breathed a long sigh of relief, fortunately he was prepared.

"Matsui Shigen This is a dual-purpose move, take the Jintan, Lishui line, if the southern line withdraws, he will go north and surround Nanjing, if the southern line insists, he will go straight to Guangde and surround the main force of my southern line from behind." Jiang Baili shook his head and judged.

"But he overestimated himself too much, how could a division achieve strategic goals within such a large strategic scope." Zhuang Jihua showed a bitter face, how could the Japanese still be so arrogant, the Fifth Division of the Board was at most 30,000 people, but it was only 20,000 people, and they dared to carry out such a large-scale outflanking operation.

"But do we have the strength to attack Itagaki's flanks?" Jiang Baili asked.

Zhuang Jihua smiled bitterly after thinking about it, he had no strength: "Telegraph to Sun Zhen that he only has one day." Regardless of whether they can fight or not, they must retreat, but the retreat cannot be completely retreated, and they must wait for Nanjing to withdraw after the withdrawal. ”

Now Zhuang Jihua has turned his hand and wants to use the southern front to attract the main force of the Japanese army and win time for the retreat of Nanjing.
