Chapter 340: The Second Battle of Songhu

More than an hour later.

The sound of the explosion gradually became quieter, and many planes had begun to return home, and the 48 "Flying Fortress" bombers also began to return to Zhoushan Airport in formation; several of these planes suffered varying degrees of damage, and the bullet holes on the planes were clearly visible, and even one of them was emitting black smoke.

Many of the bombers that had taken off from the "Nuwa" aircraft carrier also began to return home, and three of these planes were shot down by the little devils, and several others were damaged, and it was a fierce naval battle.

Compared with the losses of the soldiers, the small Japanese side suffered heavy losses, the entire Chinese fleet was almost completely wiped out, and more than 20 warships, large and small, were almost all scrapped, some of them had sunk to the bottom of the sea, and some were sinking with thick black smoke.

On the surface of the sea, scattered little Japan, with the waves looming, about a dozen fighter jets are still strafing these little Japan, these little Japan are constantly hit by bullets, and then turn into corpses, and finally sink to the bottom of the sea to feed the fish.

The Japanese heavy cruiser "Kako," with a displacement of tens of thousands of tons, has sunk only a little bit, and it will not be long before this huge warship will sink to the bottom of the sea at a depth of thousands of meters.

……

On the "Nuwa" aircraft carrier, one plane after another began to land, only to see one plane speeding up to the deck of the "Nuwa," and soon stopped steadily at the interceptor cable, and then another plane accelerated onto the deck.

When a carrier-based aircraft lands on a ship, it does not slow down, but accelerates and rushes down, in this case. In case it is not stopped by the interceptor line, the plane can also be pulled up again, if it is slowed down. In case it was not stopped by the interceptor cable, the plane would not have enough speed to pull up, and at worst it could only crash into the sea.

Wu Sanjiang, the captain of the "Nuwa," personally watched the soldiers fly the planes one by one, and seeing that everyone was skillful, Wu Sanjiang's face couldn't help but show a satisfied smile.

This is the first battle of the "Nuwa" aircraft carrier formation, and this battle. The soldiers performed perfectly, and at a small cost, they completely annihilated a small Japanese fleet. It was bombed into more than 20 warships, large and small, including the heavy cruiser "Kagu" with a tonnage of more than 10,000 tons.

"Send a report to your superiors and report this victory in detail!" Wu Sanjiang shouted loudly, his voice full of joy.

……

Hangzhou. The new 6th Army Headquarters.

Telegrams from the Navy were sent as soon as possible. Looking at this good news, Ye Feng was in a good mood, and said happily to everyone: "Ladies and gentlemen, the navy has won the first battle, and it has successfully annihilated the small Japanese and Chinese fleet. ”

"Ha Luha, that's great." Chief of Staff Guo Weiquan smiled, and said happily: "Military seat, like this." The Chinese fleet of small Japan existed in name only. ”

Ye Feng nodded, so many warships were sunk. The main force of the entire fleet was completely annihilated by the fighters, and the small Japanese Chinese fleet lost almost all its warships, leaving only a few bases and some auxiliary personnel, and some naval aviation and marines, which actually existed in name only.

The first battle was won, everyone was in a very good mood, the whole command headquarters was jubilant, filled with a thick atmosphere of joy, at the same time, several large armies began to attack Shanghai from the ground today, the scale of the war was unprecedentedly huge, and the total number of troops gathered by both sides in Shanghai reached hundreds of thousands.

It seemed to see Ye Feng's thoughts, knowing that Ye Feng was focusing on the battle in Shanghai, Chief of Staff Guo Weiquan walked to the huge military map, pointed to the map and said: "Military seat, little Japan has set up defensive positions on the line from Liuhe, Shenjiaqiao, Chaowangmiao, Xujiaxing, Guangfu, Chenjiaxing, Jiangqiao, and Beixinjing to Fanwangdu, with a defense line of 35 kilometers, and a long snake formation has been formed. ”

Ye Feng walked to the military map, looked at the detailed Chinese and Japanese troop strength markings on the map, knew it in his heart, and said to Chief of Staff Guo Weiquan: "According to the plan, first recover Songjiang Mansion, and we will fight this long snake formation of Little Japan." In addition, we send our daily combat information to all parts of the country via radio waves, and if necessary, we can use clear codes. ”

"Yes!"

Ye Feng's order was transmitted to all units on the front line through radio waves. At the same time, the news that the newly formed 6th Army had won the first battle and completely annihilated the small Japanese Chinese fleet spread throughout the north and south of the river through radio waves.

To the west of Shanghai, a large number of troops of the newly formed 6th Army divided the road and advanced along the road and railway leading to Shanghai, and the long line was endless.

The deployment of small Japan's forces in the vicinity of Shanghai is basically clear to everyone: in addition to the first line of defense that is 35 kilometers long, it forms a semi-circular front in the northeast of the city center, which goes around the north of Jiangwan, and it is also a huge semi-circular position in the southwest, and these two semicircles form the second line of defense.

In addition, Little Japan was also prepared for street fighting, and built a large number of fortifications in the urban area, built a lot of barricades, built a large number of machine gun points, fire points, and so on.

……

Fierce battles were going on on the front line, and almost all the eyes of the whole country were attracted here, and everyone was paying attention to this unprecedented battle between the newly formed 6th Army and the small Japanese Central China Front in East China.

The high-level of the National Army, the Eighth Route Army, the New Fourth Army, etc., and even the vast number of students, workers, even traders, and ordinary people, etc., everyone is paying attention, and in the streets and alleys, everyone is naturally talking about the big battle between the new 6th Army and the Japanese army.

This battle is known in history as the Second Battle of Songhu.

At this time, the western suburbs of Shanghai were already rumbling with guns, and many units of the newly formed 6th Army had already started a fierce battle with the Japanese troops.

In the entire western suburbs of Shanghai, from north to south, the little devils built a front of more than 30 kilometers, dozens of large and small positions, and cut off all the roads and railways leading to Shanghai, and the battle raged fiercely in front of these Japanese positions.

Outside Matsue Prefecture.

The fighting here is extremely fierce, the 3rd Infantry Division of the new 6th Army is attacking here, and the 3rd Infantry Division is also fighting with a regiment of the 1st Mechanized Infantry Division, more than 100 armored vehicles of various types.

Three days ago, the "Flying Fortress" bomber group of the newly formed 6th Army carried out intensive bombing of this area, and the Japanese puppet army stationed in this area had already suffered a lot of losses, and now little Japan was again suffering heavy artillery bombardment.

The 3rd Infantry Division concentrated all the artillery of more than 100 mm in the division, built several huge artillery positions, and launched a fierce artillery bombardment of the Japanese defense line on the outskirts of Songjiang Province.

The loud sound of the earthquake was very dense, and it was clearly audible several kilometers away, the entire Japanese position was filled with gunsmoke, mud was flying, many fortifications were destroyed, many trenches were razed to the ground, and many fortresses were directly smashed.

The artillery of each infantry division is not only 105 mm howitzers, but also powerful 155 mm howitzers.

The commander of the 3rd Infantry Division personally came to the front line, held a telescope, looked at the Japanese position in the distance from a distance, and saw that the entire position had almost become a scorched earth, and a slight smile appeared on the face of the 3rd Division Commander.

"Master, if you bombard for another half an hour, I'm afraid that the little devils in this large area will die." A colonel officer next to him, holding a telescope, also said happily.

"Lao Tzu just wants to let these little devils die, bombard them for another half an hour, and after half an hour, the whole division will launch an attack and take Songjiang Mansion in one fell swoop." The commander of the third division said loudly with full of anger.

At this time, more than 10,000 soldiers of the Third Infantry Division had all entered the designated positions and were ready to attack at any time.

The sound of artillery in the distance rumbled, and the smoke of gunpowder filled the air, and the soldiers in place were also full of anticipation, and many soldiers craned their necks and watched the artillery bombardment in the distance with relish.

In the city of Songjiang Prefecture, the little devils independently mixed into the headquarters of the 3rd Brigade.

The deafening sound of artillery shelling outside made the little devils in the command headquarters gloomy, and the commander of the brigade of Major General Devils also had a gloomy face, although he did not come to the front line in person, but it can be seen from such a terrifying explosion that his own troops outside must have suffered heavy losses.

"Your Excellency Brigade Commander, we can't stand it, the new 6th Army outside is all using heavy artillery, the number is at least dozens, we have suffered heavy losses, and if we continue to hold on like this, all the troops on our position will die."

A devil Shaozo, in a hurry, ran in with a miserable face, obviously, this devil Shaozo came from the front line, very embarrassed, there were many blood stains on his body, and his military uniform was also tattered.

"Yaga!" The commander of the Devil Brigade shouted angrily, and then thought for a while: "All retreat, abandon the outer positions, and enter the city, in addition, send a report to His Excellency Yanagawa Heisuke, begging for tactical guidance, hurry up!" ”

In desperation, the commander of the devil brigade could only order a retreat, retreating under such fierce artillery fire, the losses must have been heavy, but the commander of the devil brigade couldn't care about it anymore, how much could be withdrawn, and if he didn't retreat, all the little devils would almost die.

When the Second Battle of Songhu broke out, the supreme commander of Little Japan in Shanghai was Yanagawa Heisuke, the commander of the 10th Army, and all matters were under the command of Yanagawa Heisuke, and Okamura Ninji was consulted on major matters.

Outside the city of Songjiang Prefecture.

Quite a few commanders of the Third Infantry Division were holding binoculars and watching the shelling from a distance, when they suddenly discovered that in the thick smoke of gunpowder and in the violent explosion, there were quite a few little devils, and these little devils were holding their heads and retreating.

"Ha Luha, the little devil actually wants to run at this time, what an idiot!" A colonel commander of the 3rd Infantry Division immediately laughed happily when he saw the little devil's actions.
