When Yanagawa Heisuke's 10th Army launched an attack on the Chinese army's position, Matsui Ishine also ordered the main force of the Central China Front to launch a counterattack against Chen Cheng's main force, in an attempt to crush Chen Cheng's army by attacking from both sides. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

However, General Chen Cheng had already ordered the soldiers to build their positions, so they waited for work at ease and were not moved in the slightest.

With the support of Wei Qidong and Tang Xinyi, with the M134 rapid-fire machine gun as the main body, hundreds of pillboxes were built and arranged in the forward positions.

And the wider the blank space left by the forward position, the greater the role of the tornado.

The remnants of the 13th Division launched several tentative attacks under the orders of the state soldiers, first by tornadoes, and then by the artillery of the Chinese army, and before they could get close, they had already lost most of them, and the rest of the men were easily wiped out by the soldiers in the trenches before they could rush to the front of the Chinese army, and this was still before the hidden pillboxes were used.

The 13th Division had already suffered heavy losses under the successive blows of Wei Qidong and the Chinese army, and this time it was hit again, and the 28,000-strong division was already less than 5,000.

Matsui Shigen finally couldn't stand it anymore, so he transferred the crippled 13th Division to the rear, and if he continued to fight, the entire formation was gone. A division regiment, and it is also the ace elite of the trump cards, if the formation is eliminated, the impact will be great.

After receiving the order to transfer the defense, the state soldier seemed to have aged for decades at once, and a few months ago he was still in high spirits and outstanding in battle, but, in less than a month, all his glory had been wiped out, as if God had taken away all his luck. In the last month, his 13th Division has not won a single battle, and every battle is bound to be defeated, defeated and defeated.

Once, the elite who made him confident in the state soldiers was constantly consumed, first the main force of the combatants was almost completely annihilated, and then the non-combatants went into battle, and the fate of defeat continued to be staged. Finally, the dignified ace 13th Division, with less than 5,000 remnants left, was defeated, and there is no doubt that if the battle continues, there is only one way to perish.

Although the proud state soldiers were very reluctant, they also had to accept this fact, at least he was lucky and still alive, if the 13th Division perished, he, the commander of the light pole, would not be qualified to live in this world anymore.

The 13th Division withdrew in humiliation, and the 9th Division was quickly pushed up.

The Ninth Division, also known as the Kanazawa Division, is also one of the permanent divisions of the Japanese Army, from the Russo-Japanese War to the full-scale outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, the Ninth Division has always been in vicious battles and tough battles, so its combat power is not much inferior to the 13th Division.

The commander of the Ninth Division was Yoshizumi Ryosuke, and after this person led the Ninth Division to land in Shanghai to fight, it also fought a lot of tough battles, and although there were losses, the losses were not large. In the subsequent battle with Chen Cheng's department, his main force did not participate, mainly the 13th Division was in front, and the result was that the 13th Division was defeated in his eyes.

Now, the 13th Division has been crippled and transferred to the rear, Yoshizumi Ryosuke is also a little helpless about the fate of his 9th Division, although the 9th Division is good at fighting evil battles and tough battles, but the current battle situation is indeed too unfavorable for their Japanese army.

Otherwise, the brave and good 13th Division would not have been beaten to such a field, and he Yoshizumi Ryosuke also believed that if he had replaced his 9th Division in the front, I am afraid that his performance would not have been much better than that of the state soldiers.

Besides, he himself knew that if he didn't find a way to open up the current situation, let alone his Ninth Division, the entire Central China Front would be very dangerous. Therefore, the only choice now can be made to sacrifice the minority and save the majority.

In fact, Yoshizumi Ryosuke had no better way than to get the state soldiers and Yanagawa Heisuke, with the threat of tornadoes and Chinese artillery, he Yoshizumi Ryosuke no matter how bold he was, he did not dare to concentrate his forces on the attack.

Therefore, Yoshizumi Ryosuke can only be divided into multiple batches, in the form of skirmishers, in small quantities and many times, pushing forward. However, without exception, they were also repelled by the ferocious resistance of the Chinese army. The 101st Division in the other direction was even worse than the 9th Division, because it was a little more anxious than the 9th Division, and as a result, it was taught a hard lesson by Wei Qidong and Tang Xinyi, and it was honest.

In the face of such a hard-fought situation, the Japanese troops in charge of attacking the fortified positions were all bitter, braving such fierce artillery fire from the enemy, it was simply taking life seriously, although the spirit of bushido pays attention to death without remembrance, death without scruples, and death without hesitation, but death must also be worthwhile, which is simply sent directly to the Chinese army's artillery fire to be bombarded into slag.

Finally, the Tenth Army could not withstand the casualties, and Yanagawa Heisuke asked for a roundabout bypass of the Chinese army's blocking position, and if he continued to fight like this, I am afraid that he would not have to wait for the main force of the Chinese army to outflank him, and it would be completely finished in front of Chen Cheng's army.

Matsui Ishine and his staff of the Central China Front considered it for a moment and agreed to Yanagawa Heisuke's request. Now that the Tenth Army has abandoned its original operational policy, the Ninth Division, the 101st Division, and other troops on this side will no longer be able to attack Chen Cheng's position regardless of casualties, and will turn to the defense as soon as possible.

"The little devil coaxed it, just like that?" When Chen Cheng learned that the Japanese army had stopped attacking, and he didn't even want the corpses of the Japanese soldiers in front of the battle, and would rather run around in a big circle than pass by his Chen Cheng again, he was also a little stunned.

It can be said that since the outbreak of the Battle of Songhu, almost every campaign goal set by the Japanese army has never been abandoned halfway. In this battle, the Japanese army's goal was very clear, that is, to combine the main force of the Central China Front and the Japanese Tenth Army to attack from both sides, in an attempt to solve Chen Cheng before the main force of the Chinese army's returning reinforcements arrived.

As a result, he Chen Cheng hadn't enjoyed it yet, and the little devil ran away directly.

"Hehe, this time is different from the past, our combat power has been greatly enhanced, and the combat power of the little devil has been weakened by us several times. General Xue Yue, commander of the 19th Group Army, said with a smile.

"Yes, the last few battles have proved that our Chinese army has powerful equipment and can completely defeat a powerful enemy." Luo Zhuoying, commander of the 15th Group Army, also agreed.

"Yes, we have such a result, which is inseparable from the strong support of General Wei and General Tang." Chen Cheng was very emotional, his troops, which were left behind by the original Left Wing Army as the main body, can be said to be half due to Wei Qidong and Tang Xinyi. Because, nearly ninety out of every heavy weapon is supported by two people.

Coupled with the fact that the two of them worked tirelessly to travel around the battlefield to give the most direct reinforcements to the front-line troops, if he Chen Cheng did not fight well, it would be really difficult to explain.

However, according to reliable sources, a large amount of material support from Japan is already on the way, and it will arrive in Shanghai in the near future. At that time, the Japanese army, which has been replenished from all directions, may be able to quickly recover its combat strength. At that time, I'm afraid this battle will not be so easy to fight again......" Luo Zhuoying thought about it and said.

"Yes, in the recent January battle, we did rely on air superiority and heavy firepower to take the lead, which greatly contained the combat power of the Japanese army. General Wei and General Tang's weapon support for us has also reached the limit, and we must not be proud of the enemy because of the victories in these battles, and there will be a lot of tough battles to fight in the future. Chen Cheng's face also turned a little more solemn.

However, a few people didn't know that when they were worried about the arrival of reinforcements from the Japanese army and thus restore their combat strength, Wei Qidong and Tang Xinyi had already begun to act quietly.
