The area around Wusong Wharf.

At this time, the number of Japanese troops in this area was the largest, and this area was also one of the most fortified areas for the soldiers, and it was also the largest area left.

After the Japanese army in Shanghai broke through, they gathered in the area of Wusong Wharf, Ye Feng also had insight into the tactical intentions of the little devils, and a part of the Japanese troops in Zhilu Dao had gathered in this area, this is the wharf, and the purpose of the Japanese army is obvious, it is to prepare to retreat by boat from here, and it may be to prepare to retreat towards the north bank of the Yangtze River.

Not far from Wusong Wharf, in an extremely ordinary house.

This civil building in the form of a compound has a wall, a gate, a compound, a patio, and three or four houses in and out.

If you look closely, you will find that the faces of these devil officers are not good-looking, either their faces are tense, or their faces are relatively gloomy, and the whole compound is filled with a dull atmosphere.

In the courtyard, in the hall of the middle house, there is a long conference table, and at the top of the table actually sits a Japanese general, and on both sides of this long conference table, there are a large number of devil officers, all devil generals.

Two Japanese lieutenant generals, five Japanese major generals, in addition, behind these devil lieutenant generals and major generals there are also several devil Dazuo, the lowest level here are all devil Dazuo, the little devil's Nakasa, Shaozo and other officers are not qualified to hold a meeting here.

This was the temporary command of the Japanese army in Shanghai, which was hastily formed here only three days ago. As the street fighting became more and more unfavorable to Little Japan, the little Japanese side made plans, and a large number of middle and senior officers took the lead in retreating here.

At the top was the Supreme Commander of the Japanese Army in Shanghai. The commander of the 13th Army of the Central China Front, the junior Japanese first-class army general Nishio Toshizo, the rest of the Japanese lieutenant generals and major generals, including two division commanders of the Japanese army, several brigade commanders, and the chief of staff of the Japanese major general, a total of two lieutenant generals. Five major generals.

The atmosphere in the entire conference room was very depressing, and the senior generals of the Japanese army were as if their fathers and mothers had died, and their faces were gloomy and terrifying. The battle was fought for this part, and these little devil senior officers knew that they were gone.

"Your Excellency, the number of troops that we have managed to break through is getting smaller and smaller, and there are almost no more troops that have successfully arrived here this morning. The number of troops who came over yesterday was less than a thousand. "A Japanese major general has his head bowed. He whispered in grief and indignation.

Hearing this, Nishio Shouzao sighed, knowing that he had to retreat, so Nishio Shouzao said in a deep voice: "What are the number of people we have in the area of Wusong Wharf, and how are our ships prepared?" ”

A chubby Japanese major general immediately replied: "Your Excellency, Commander, we have less than 20,000 people in the vicinity of Wusong Wharf, and too many of our troops have not been able to retreat. There are even two major generals and several officers of the rank of Osa, who have already done their best for His Majesty the Emperor. ”

"Also. After two days of preparation, we had raised more than 100 boats, many of which were unpowered fishing boats, and not many of which were really mechanically powered, but we had two gunboats and five small gunboats. ”

In order to retreat from Wusong Wharf, the little devils racked their brains to raise boats, and the small fishing boats of the common people were all snatched by the little devils, and now they have finally barely scraped together enough boats to retreat.

Seeing that the ship was basically ready, Nishio Shouzo breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately ordered: "After the meeting, we will start to make retreat preparations, we will board the ship and retreat after dark, and pay attention to prevent the bombing of the aircraft of the new 6th Army, and we must pay attention to protecting our ships before it gets dark." ”

At present, the entire Wusong Wharf area is almost surrounded by the soldiers of the newly formed 6th Army, and there are already many soldiers in the periphery area, and there are even many armored vehicles and tanks.

Once these ships are destroyed, the little devils gathered in this area will have no possibility of escaping, and they will definitely be annihilated by the warriors in the end.

Therefore, the little devils attached great importance to these ships, and deployed all their anti-aircraft weapons around the dock to prevent the bombing of the fighters' planes, and even dragged those small fishing boats ashore and hid them temporarily.

The planes of the 1st Air Force Division had come before, but the anti-aircraft fire in the vicinity of Wusong Wharf was rather fierce, and these planes flew away after they came, and did not bomb this area again.

After the little devils finished the meeting, they immediately took action, and made a plan to retreat, in the evening, many little devils have begun to board the ship, and the transport ships were soon crowded with little devils, and behind the transport ships with power plants, there were many ordinary fishing boats tied with ropes.

Obviously, the little devils wanted to drag these ordinary fishing boats behind these transport ships and escape together, and even there were a lot of fishing boats tied to the back of those gunboats and gunboats.

These fishing boats are also crowded with little devils, and there are at least dozens of little devils on each of the originally small fishing boats, and there are even hundreds of little devils on the slightly larger fishing boats.

Even if the little devils raised hundreds of boats, but nearly 20,000 little devils, plus weapons and equipment, as well as some necessary materials and things, at least had to be transported back and forth several times, even if Wusong Wharf was not very far from the north bank of the Yangtze River, and so many people and materials had to be transferred in one night, the little devils were enough to choke, so as soon as it was dark, the little devils began to board the ship and retreat.

After the sky gradually darkened, Wusong Wharf was brightly lit and noisy, a large number of small Japanese were boarding, transport ships, fishing boats were crowded with little devils, and it looked like a mess.

On the periphery of Wusong Wharf, there are still some little devils resisting.

The little devils have formulated a retreat plan, some of the little devils have already retreated first, and the other part of the little devils are still resisting outside the Wusong wharf, so as to win time for the retreat of the rest of their troops, so many little devils, even if everything goes well, it is estimated that they will not be able to complete the retreat until dawn tomorrow.

The battle around the periphery of Wusong Wharf was very fierce, with the sound of guns and cannons, and with the fortifications built in advance, the little devils resisted stubbornly.

A main road leading to Wusong Wharf is one of the main battlefields of the battle, the road has been seriously damaged, there are big potholes that have been blown out everywhere, and the little devils on the side near the Wusong Wharf have built a large number of fortifications, a large number of little devils have set up machine guns, and even some battle defense guns.

On the wide road, an M3 half-track armored car has been destroyed, emitting black smoke, this armored car was just destroyed by a combat anti-aircraft gun of the little devils.

Before Nishio Shouzo ordered the little devils to retreat here, a lot of heavy equipment had already arrived here, including a large number of anti-aircraft weapons, even anti-aircraft anti-aircraft guns, in addition, there were a lot of anti-aircraft guns, as well as some small Japanese tanks and armored vehicles.

The three colonels of the newly formed 6th Army commanded the battle in this area, and the number of soldiers fighting in this area has reached nearly 10,000, and the encirclement of Wusong Wharf has almost been completed, and the number of soldiers is still increasing, and they have begun to attack the area around Wusong Wharf from all directions.

The three colonel commanders were watching the battle of the soldiers in front of them from a distance, and when they saw that one of their armored vehicles was destroyed by the little devil's anti-aircraft guns, one of the colonels immediately shouted loudly: "The armored car will give me to retreat first and press the tank up!" ”

Three M4 Sherman tanks began to drive slowly along this main road, and when they were about to lead the fighters to launch another attack, several little devil Peantian tanks and two armored vehicles also appeared in the soldiers' sight.

These little Japanese tanks drove towards them, and they seemed to be undaunted by the tanks of the soldiers.

When the three colonels who commanded the battle in this area saw this scene, they were puzzled, their faces were full of doubts, and they thought in their hearts, what are the little devils going to do, and a few small Peanding tanks dare to meet them.

"Boom, boom, boom......"

As soon as several tanks on both sides were close, an artillery battle immediately began, and an M4 tank opened fire first, and a small Japanese Peanding tank more than 100 meters away was a shot, and a single shot directly destroyed this small tank.

This small tank that was shot was emitting thick smoke, and a large hole appeared in the front of the tank, which looked rather miserable, and the power of the main gun of the M4 tank was fully demonstrated in such a short distance.

As the M4 tank fired, the two sides began shelling each other, but the main gun caliber of the little Japanese Douding tank was only 37 mm, which could not penetrate the frontal armor of the M4 tank at all, and after a few minutes, the battle result came out, 0 to six, the little devil's four Douding tanks and two armored vehicles were all destroyed and turned into piles of scrap metal on the road.

This originally relatively spacious main road, soon there were piles of tanks and armored car wreckage, these wreckage emitted black smoke, and even two piles were still burning, and each pile was very close to each other, obviously the little devil deliberately put his tanks and armored vehicles so close, as soon as they were destroyed, these wrecks were naturally next to each other, completely blocking the road.

Seeing this, the three colonel commanders glanced at each other and suddenly realized.

The little devils sent out these small tanks and armored vehicles, not to hit everyone's tanks, but to deliberately come out to die, the purpose is to completely block the road leading to Wusong Wharf and prevent the soldiers' chariots from rushing into the area of Wusong Wharf.

Now, these small tanks and armored vehicles have turned into smoking scrap metal, and this pile of scrap metal is still relatively dense, basically blocking this road, and it will take a lot of effort for the fighters' tanks and armored vehicles to pass through.

The little devil did this for only one purpose, and that was to slow down the pace of the warriors' attack and buy time for his own retreat.

"Damn little devil, it's too insidious!"

One of the colonels waved his fist fiercely and said fiercely, obviously very angry at the little devil's method.

The other two colonel commanders also looked at the blocked road in front of them with solemn faces, and the two of them looked at it for a long time without making a sound. (To be continued......)
