What is the old brother going to do? Fan Shaozeng gently placed the letter on the table and looked up)]7) T Janssen's face was obscured by the dim flame of the oil lamp.

"What do you mean by him taking on greater responsibilities?" Yang Sen asked with a wry smile, this is what he is least aware of, after fighting with the Japanese in the past few days, he knows more about the combat effectiveness of the Japanese army, and does not believe in the strength and ability of the 20th Army to turn the tide.

"In the midst of strategizing, the decisive victory is thousands of miles away," Fan Shao added a sentence and then sighed: "The Cultural Revolution is worthy of it." ”

After finishing speaking, he told Yang Sen everything he had just learned from Chen Cheng, and finally said, "I guess, he wants you to cut off the whole army." ”

Yang Sen was silent for a while before nodding, Fan Shaozeng's guess was roughly the same as his judgment, but it was not just a matter of covering the transfer of the whole army after this break.

The Japanese army that has already detected the number on the Shanghai battlefield has six divisions and regiments, two mixed brigades, three puppet brigades, and two marine brigades, with a total strength of up to 160,000 troops, not counting the new reinforcements, it is estimated that there will be no less than four divisions and regiments, which is nearly 100,000 people.

Can the Twentieth Army be able to hold back with the strength of one army?

Yang Sen shook his head silently, and Fan Shaozeng hurriedly asked, "Lange, brother, don't want to do it?" ”

"It's not that I don't want to do it, I'm afraid I can't do it." Yang Sen told Fan Shaozeng his judgment, and then asked: "I only have one army, and now I have lost about 3,000 people, and half of the division has gone out, can I still stop these hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops?" ”

"Alas," Fan Shaozeng sighed, this is often the most sacrificed after the break, in order to prevent the enemy from pursuing, the army in front often destroys the roads and bridges regardless of the broken army, he Fan Shaozeng himself has done such a thing.

"Brother, you said that you were going to really retreat, who did you say Chen Cheng would let break off?"

Faced with Fan Shaozeng's sudden question. Yang Sen's expression changed drastically. It's clear. The 24th Army was the best equipped. The most complete combat power. It keeps on after who breaks off.

"Ge Lao Tzu Land." Yang Sen touched the back of his bare head: "I'm afraid Lao Tzu won't be able to hide." ”

"Brother knows. I, Van Harr, was born in a robe. Roll the nail plate under the oil pan. Lao Tzu has done it all. Our robe brother talks about not straining the belt. After it is broken, it is broken. Fight the majesty of our Sichuan army. Killed on the battlefield. Eighteen years later, he is a good man again. "Fan Shaozeng's temper has come up. Full of words.

Yang Sen stood up with a wry smile. He figured it out. Since this broken mission can't be avoided. Then don't be afraid of anything: "My brother is right. Never pull the belt. ”

Janssen made a quick decision. Adjust the deployment that night. The strongest 133rd Division was drawn out from Lu's house in Hejia Village to serve as a reserve. These two positions were handed over to Yang Gancai of the 6th Brigade of the 134th Xia Jiongdi.

On the second day, the Japanese army in the urban area was dominated by the 9th Division and the Chongteng Detachment. In the Tang Bridge and Shuna House, the Yunzao Riverside is forcibly crossed. The Japanese army advanced to the ground in a barrage mode. Blow this area to ruins. By the afternoon. A regiment of the 195th Division was stationed here. More than 600 people were killed. Division Commander Tan Yuan was anxious for Xue Yue to ask for help. Xue Yue was anxious and told him that there were no reinforcements.

At the time of the fierce battle of Yunzaobin, the 13th Division also launched an attack on Miaohang, and almost at the same time that the 9th Division established a bridgehead in Yunzaobin, the 13th Division conquered Miaohang and formed a two-wing attack on the large field with the Japanese army occupying the Yunzaobin bridgehead.

In the face of Xue Yue's frequent calls for help, Chen Cheng couldn't help but panic, he planned to transfer a division from the 47th Army for a long time, but as soon as this idea was proposed, Jiang Baili stopped him.

"Now we can't increase troops from the rear, but from the front, withdraw the 88th Division from the urban area, and counterattack Miaoxing."

"What about the city?" The 36th and 57th divisions were taken out of the urban area, and now the 88th division has been withdrawn, so the strength of the urban area is too thin.

"Regardless of the urban area, first ensure the way out." Jiang Baili's expression is very firm now: "What we want now is to withdraw troops, not increase troops." Moreover, in addition to the 87th Division, there were also 98th Divisions, Luo Qijiang's 34th Brigade, and two divisions of the 66th Army. ”

"The Yunzaobin bridgehead also needs to be defended by troops, and one army of the 66th Army is not enough." Chen Cheng said bitterly.

"But after three months of fighting, the strength of the Japanese army has also been greatly consumed, you see that now in addition to the thirteenth division has the ability to attack, the attack power of other units is almost consumed, you see that the Japanese army has to concentrate the ninth division and the Chongteng detachment, which shows that the strength of the Japanese army is almost consumed."

Jiang Baili's analysis is not unreasonable: in the previous life in the Battle of Songhu, the Japanese army suffered more than 20,000 casualties, but in this life, due to the support provided by the air force and the great improvement of equipment, the Japanese casualties have reached more than 60,000. Matsui Ishine was also facing a situation of overstretched troops, and the 3rd Division, 11th Division, and Marine Corps, although replenished twice, were only two-thirds of the full strength; The losses of the 9th, 16th and 101st Divisions also amounted to a quarter.

However, the Japanese army now has the initiative and can calmly concentrate its forces and replace defense with offense, so there is no need to worry about the problem of weak troops.

At the critical moment, the Air Force once again gave the Chinese Air Force, with six B17s as the main force, and covered six B17s in more than 30 P40s and BF109s to bomb the Miaohang and Yunzaobin bridgeheads. Gao Zhihang led the group to fight with the Japanese planes in the sky, the B17 bravely dropped bombs, and the air force helped the ground drag through the day at a huge cost.

Chen Cheng felt that it would not last for ten days if it continued like this, so he decided to attack and defend and use the 20th Army to launch an attack in Luodian. After receiving the order, Yang Sen transferred a regiment from 135 to attack Qiaofang in front of Luodian in the early morning of the 7th, and the 20th Army fought hard all night to conquer Qiaofang, a whole regiment, with more than half of the casualties.

Before he had time to taste the success of the Qiaofang counterattack, the news of the Japanese landing in the northern part of Hangzhou Bay reached Chen Cheng's headquarters and the headquarters of the commander of the Third Theater. This news made Chen Cheng and Gu Zhutong breathe a sigh of relief at the same time.

After the sixth division landed from Xiu Shilin, it conquered Xixin at dawn on the same day, and then killed Fengxian; After the landing of Jinshanwei, the Kunisaki detachment rushed to Zhangyan; The 114th and 18th Divisions landed at Quangongting and conquered Xincang on the same day, and then the troops were divided into two routes, the 114th Division turned to Pinghu, and the 18th Division attacked Luxiang.

The Eighth Army and the 21st Group Army, which were responsible for the northern part of Hangzhou Bay, abandoned the beachhead to block the attack according to the predetermined plan, and Zhang Fakui commanded the Eighth Army to set up a resistance position with the Min line center on the north bank of the Huangpu River; Liao Lei commanded the 21st Group Army to block the Japanese army heading north with Songjiang as the core, and the 74th Army and the 10th Group Army built a position in Jiaxing.

On the 8th, the 6th Division broke through the blockade of the 63rd Division in the middle of Chen Guang in Fengxian, occupied Fengxian, and then pursued it to the Huangpu River non-stop.

On the same day, the Kunisaki detachment and the 18th Division captured Jinshan. The successive victories after the landing made Yanagawa Heisuke a little carried away, and he was a little puzzled how Matsui Ishine had fought in Shanghai for so long.

Proud, he ordered the 18th Division to move south along the Shanghai-Hangzhou Railway and attack Jiaxing with the 114th Division.

On 10 November, the 6th Division opened the way with heavy artillery fire and began to force its way across the Huangpu River, the Guoqi Detachment launched an attack on Songjiang, the 18th Division went south to attack Fengtong on the Shanghai-Hangzhou Railway, and the 57th Ruan Zhaochang Division, which was ordered to go south, launched a blockade on the spot.

In order to cooperate with the offensive in the northern part of Hangzhou Bay, Matsui Shigen launched a full-scale attack on the south bank of the Yangtze River and the urban area, the 13th Division launched an attack from the northwest, and the 9th Division launched an attack from the northeast to Dachang, and Xue Yue commanded the 19th Group Army to respond tenaciously; The 11th Division forcibly crossed the Suzhou Creek and engaged in a fierce battle with the 87th Division Tax Police Corps in the urban area; The 3rd Division and the 101st Division launched an attack on Luodian, and Yang Sen commanded the 20th Army to meet the battle.

The Japanese Air Force, which had been re-replenished, dispatched hundreds of planes every day to forcefully attack the airfields and radar stations of the Chinese Air Force, and after two months of hard work, the Mei organs were able to find out the addresses of most of the radar stations of the Chinese Air Force.

All of a sudden, from the south bank of the Yangtze River to the north of Hangzhou Bay, the battlefield was further expanded, and the war became unprecedentedly cruel.

"......, judging from the movements of the Japanese army, the main forces of the Tenth Army, the 18th Division and the 114th Division, will directly attack Nanjing along the south bank of Taihu Lake; The other attacked the flank of our army on the Songhu battlefield. At the moment, it seems that our predictions of the actions of the Japanese army are correct. ”

After Fu Chang finished analyzing the situation, he put down his baton and returned to his seat. Zhuang Jihua, who was in the main seat, silently looked at the situation map on the map before turning around. In the conference room were most of the senior generals of the 49th Group Army, including Sun Zhen, Liang, An En, Guo Xun, and Rao Guohua, except for Lan Yundong and Wang Mingzhang, who had already led the troops to set off.

"It seems that the Japanese are urging us to speed up," the tone seemed to be joking, but Zhuang Jihua's expression did not have the slightest hint, smiling, none of the senior generals present laughed, Zhuang Jihua spread his hands: "Let's talk about it, what should we do with our group army?" How can I speed it up? Are we going to Anqing, Suzhou or Nanjing? ”

The situation on the battlefield changed suddenly, and seeing that the Japanese army launched an all-out offensive in the Songhu area, our army was fully caught in passive and bitter fighting on all fronts, and if it could not withdraw to the Wufu defense line in time, it might not even be able to hold Nanjing.

"It's too late to go to Nanjing, Suzhou, and Anqing may be late." An En first stated that as a collateral general, he was heavily used in the 49th Group Army, and the atmosphere in the group army was relatively good, and there was no distinction between descendants and collaterals. After the outbreak of the war in Shanghai, the atmosphere of the troops seeking war was quite high, and he received letters of invitation to war from soldiers almost every day, some of which were written in blood.

"Nanjing?" Sun Zhen said in a deep voice: "How will the troops be deployed after arriving in Nanjing? Also, will the central government let us drive directly to Suzhou? ”
