Song Xilian couldn't help but feel a little nervous when he heard this, among the several regiment commanders of the 36th Division, his favorite was this Gu Baoyu, this Gu Baoyu was from the fourth phase of Huangpu, but Song Xilian saw the shadow of Zhuang Jihua in him, and he was unwilling to be restrained at any time, always looking for opportunities to strike at the enemy. \\。

In fact, Song Xilian himself was also influenced by Zhuang Jihua, his personality has changed a lot from his previous life, he has become unadmitted, and he is always trying to find a way to take advantage of it without suffering losses.

"Division commander, this is the Shanghai sewers, I noticed it during the early attack, but at that time it was the Marine Corps, which had been stationed in Shanghai for several years, and I had noticed this problem, there was no chance, this time the third division had just arrived, and I wanted to do it when I was in the Ono brigade, but I never had the opportunity, I wanted to send a unit to insert it behind the Japanese army through the sewers at night and beat him." Gu Baoyu winked at Song Xilian slyly.

Song Xilian pondered quietly in his heart for a while, and then nodded: "Okay, I'll hand over the division reconnaissance company to you, and I'll return it to me after the fight." ”

Although Gu Baoyu didn't mention it, Song Xilian knew that his troops were definitely not enough, don't look at him with more than 1,000 people, but these more than 1,000 people have 36 divisions and independent 2nd brigades, and they have to defend for two days, two days later, more than 1,000 people here can come back with 30% of them, and he Song Xilian will be thankful.

Song Xilian had not left the regiment headquarters, the Japanese artillery bombardment began again, Gu Baoyuli was still the prelude, the shelling was overwhelming, but Song Xilian did not move, he could not go at this time, and he could not let the soldiers watch him, the division commander, "escape" when the enemy attacked.

"You do your thing, don't worry about me." Song Xilian coldly rejected Gu Baoyu's kindness, and Gu Baoyu didn't persuade much, so he turned his head and hid in a simple hidden department. This was just a simple concealment department, and it could not stop the large-caliber naval artillery shells of the Japanese army at all. Then again, what fortifications can protect against 200 or 400mm cannons.

The sound of the cannon became denser and denser, and the sound of the explosion was about to burst the ear drum, Song Xilian covered his ears, opened his mouth, felt that it was difficult to breathe, the earth was shaking, and this small corner seemed to be submerged in smoke, gunsmoke, and rubble at any time. Song Xilian couldn't raise his head at all, and he couldn't see anything clearly, he just felt that everything in front of him was gray. "Boom". A cannonball exploded nearby, and the guards swooped down on Song Xiliandi, crushing him to death.

Song Xilian's mind was blank, forgetting time, forgetting everything, and without personal experience, it was absolutely impossible to imagine under what circumstances the front-line soldiers supported the entire defense line.

There was an uproar, and a house on the opposite street collapsed, raising a thick cloud of dust. The soldiers who were hiding in that building were all buried inside, but no one dared to run out of the hiding point, everyone hid in the hiding point and prayed that the shells would not fall on their heads, and all the cries of pain were overwhelmed by the sound of cannonballs. Before the mournful screams of the wounded could be heard, a shrill whistle was heard, and the soldiers poured out from all corners and hurried to their places. Moments later, two tanks appeared from the street, followed by hundreds of Japanese soldiers carefully armed with bayonets.

The bloody battle soon began, and after one anti-aircraft gun dragged out of the rubble was dragged to the position, four regimental mortars began shelling. The shells accurately passed the tanks and landed in the enemy group, and the pace of the infantry suddenly became sluggish. Japanese mortars also began to fire, and the anti-aircraft guns opened fire on the Japanese tanks, and after destroying one tank, they were subsequently destroyed by the second; The first line of defense rushed out of three soldiers, armed with cluster grenades. Under the cover of rubble, they touched the tank, and three soldiers pounced on the tank from both sides with smoke from their bodies. Two soldiers were knocked down by a frenzied hail of bullets as they approached the tank, and the other pounced on the tank. Three violent explosions sounded the tank caught fire and burned.

The next step was a frantic attack by infantry. This is the procedure for every attack. Everyone understands every step. In the end, it is the will to fight the ground. The Japanese soldiers, who had lost their tank cover, did not retreat. On the contrary, they attacked more frantically. rushed up again and again, and was beaten down again and again.

The long street fought hard. Also staged in the 88th and 87th divisions. The squadron was pressed in the urban area, and there were more than 60,000 people in the fourth division, one brigade and one regiment when they were full. Now there are only about 40,000 people left. It was supplemented by a redeployment of veterans from various units.

That same evening. Song Xilian handed over to Gu Baoyu from the Duer Liaison Company. Gu Baoyu took out a company and a veteran of the regiment and inserted it into the Japanese position through the sewer. Gu Baoyudi's estimation is very accurate. The Japanese did not notice this passage. Attacked suddenly. Gu Baoyu recaptured two streets at once.

The Chinese army generals could only pin their hopes on the air force for the superiority of the Japanese navy. For several days in a row, the Air Force was unable to provide support on the ground. At the front, Zhang Zhizhong, Chen Cheng, and Gu Zhu complained one after another to Chiang Kai-shek's ears. Zhou Zhirou took a lot of pressure for this. He also did not know why every time the Air Force rushed to the battlefield, it would encounter Japanese interceptions. You can't get the raid effect like you used to.

Twenty-nineth. He decided to adapt his tactics and no longer passively intercept. Instead, take the initiative. Bombing of the landing site by Japanese troops. At the same time, Dai Li and Chen Lifu were asked to help provide detailed locations of the Japanese army's assembly sites and air force airfields. However, the planes from other places were again intercepted by Japanese planes. One B17 was shot down. Although the Chinese air force still maintained victory. But it's getting tougher. From the beginning of the war to the present. The Air Force has already lost a quarter of its aircraft.

Same. Hu Zongnan's First Army's vanguard Li Tiejun Division arrived at Baoshan. The 60th Division, which had been transferred from eastern Zhejiang, also rushed to Shanghai. And Wang Yaowu's 51st Division had already been put into battle in the urban area in advance. With these two divisions. Chen Cheng ordered the 88th Division to be transferred to Hongkou. The 60th Division took over the defense of Yangshupu. The 51st Division is the general reserve of the group army. Chen Cheng and Zhang Zhizhong then launched a large-scale counterattack in the urban area...... The 88th and 36th Divisions fought in Hongkou Park. Again approaching the Japanese naval command. Matsui Ishine was forced to send more troops to the city.

In addition to counterattacking in the urban area, Luo Zhuoying commanded the 57th and 14th Divisions to Chuanshakou, Peng Shan commanded the 11th and 67th Divisions to launch a counterattack against Wusongkou, the 56th Division in Shishilin, and Li Jue also launched a counterattack against the Japanese army in Zhanghuabin.

All of a sudden, the situation on the Songhu battlefield changed abruptly, and the momentum of the squadron was like a rainbow, and it had the potential to completely drive the Japanese army into the sea.

"There are three major furnaces along the Yangtze River, Chongqing first, Wuhan second, and Nanjing third. But recently, none of these three major stoves have been hot in Shanghai, and the newspapers are full of news from Shanghai. Zhuang Jihua lazily closed the newspaper and threw it on the table, the fierce battle in Shanghai was in full swing, and the newspaper was full of news about the Songhu battlefield, so he was more aware of the war in Songhu.

"Cultural Revolution, I don't understand, what do you think?" Li Jiayu couldn't help but ask on the side, the morale of the troops was very high after they left Sichuan, and the whole army was seeking battle, which made him and Yang Sen in a dilemma.

The 24th Group Army, composed of Yang Sen and Li Jiayu, was the first batch of troops to leave Sichuan. Yang Sen arrived in Wuhan on 16 August, Li Jiayu on 26 August, but Zhuang Jihua arrived in Wuhan on 21 August, and he arrived in Wuhan in advance to check the logistics there.

By the end of August, two divisions of the 24 th Group Army had all arrived in Wuhan, and Yang Sen received a telegram from Nanjing in Wuhan, but Yang Sen telegraphed back that only two divisions had arrived in Wuhan, and that the remaining troops would have at least 15 days to arrive in Wuhan. Both Yang Sen and Li Jiayu wanted to obey orders. But Zhuang Jihua intervened, Zhuang Jihua asked them to call back Nanjing, the weapons and equipment had not yet arrived, and they could not open to Songhu for the time being, although the two did so but their hearts were full of doubts.

Outside the window, there were bursts of slogans, the atmosphere of the Wuhan people's war of resistance was high, there were demonstrations and marches every day, the vicinity of the recruitment point was crowded with young students who had signed up to join the army, and more than a dozen volunteer teams were formed by all walks of life to go to North China and Shanghai respectively, and the wounded transferred from Shanghai were also sent to major hospitals in Wuhan one after another. These wounded are heroes in the eyes of the citizens of the three towns of Wuhan, and the hospital is full of condolences.

"He Junshan's work in Wuhan is still good. The enthusiasm of the citizens of Wuhan for the War of Resistance was still very high. Zhuang Jihua did not directly say his plan, and first evaluated the atmosphere of the three towns in Wuhan. After the start of Songhu, He Jinhan led the propaganda office to withdraw to Wuhan, and by the way, he also took over the propaganda and agitation work of the three towns of Wuhan.

"Cultural Revolution, you're not afraid of war, are you?" There was something strange in Janssen's gaze. If Zhuang Jihua was not Chiang Kai-shek's descendant, he would really suspect that he was afraid of war.

"Afraid of war?" Zhuang Jihua shook his head with a wry smile. I walked to the window and closed it, and the room was quiet. He turned to look at Janssen and this war for five years, and now come to fear the war? ”

Zhuang Jihua showed a mocking look on his face: "I have deduced many times with General Baili. General Baili believed that our army could hold on to Shanghai for a long time, especially the Wufu defense line, and it would take at least half a year for the Japanese army to break through this defense line. General Baili doesn't know the principal, and in this battle in Shanghai, the principal's idea is probably wrong again

"Cultural Revolution, what do you mean by that? Shouldn't there be a war in Shanghai? Li Jiayu asked in surprise.

"No, it is correct to start the war in Shanghai," Zhuang Jihua shook his head and said: "But the problem lies in the strategic purpose of the Battle of Shanghai, when the principal convened us to discuss, it was clear that the purpose of the Battle of Shanghai was to attract the main force of the Japanese army from North China to East China, and lure the Japanese army to attack along the Yangtze River. The total strength is more than 60,000 people. More than 60,000 people, with the support of the fleet, can completely hold the Shanghai stronghold, and such an attack will not outweigh the losses, and the troops will be wasted in vain. ”

Speaking of this, Zhuang Jihua is very heartbroken, 300,000 German mechanics are spent in Shanghai like this, and I don't know how much time it will take to rebuild such a force.

"You mean that at this stage, we will try to delay as much as possible and not go to the Songhu battlefield?" Yang Sen thought that he understood what Zhuang Jihua meant. In the tank
