"Boom!" With the retreat of the defenders of the first trenches, the artillery fire from the destroyers began to extend inland. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoA shell exploded next to Major Xie Kangquan, commander of the 1st Battalion of the 367th Regiment. Taking advantage of the sunrise and fog to dissipate, he was holding a Japanese-made 6X30 binoculars looking at the Japanese ship at sea. For him, an inland man, he used to look at the sea as white and vast, but now he looks at the sea as black and linen, and his eyes are full of Japanese boats. When the shell fell, Rong Zexu, the commander of the company who had just withdrawn, hurriedly pounced on him with a 'Xiao Xin', and the 'boom' exploded, and the dust raised by the air wave accompanied by the pungent smell of gunpowder made people sneeze.

"You pig braincase, you oh are like a pig!" Major Xie Kangquan knew that the shell had landed far away from him, but his company commander threw himself like an inexperienced recruit. He was about to say it again, he didn't want Rong Zexu to say 'Xiao Xin' again, this time it was not a shell, but a Japanese plane pulled down and swept the trench, and the 7.7mm bullet hit the sand 'poof', just the standard of trench repair, half circle after semicircle, this wave only hit a few recruits.

However, this Type 96 carrier-based fighter also paid a price - when it was about to pull up, two 20mm machine guns fired tongues of fire to wrap him, this crispy monoplane first broke off the right wing, then the engine roared vigorously, the fuselage spun and pulled the black smoke down the fall, and finally hit the ground with a 'boom', exploding a ball of fire.

"Good!!" The soldiers in the trenches all watched this touching scene, on the battlefield in Shanghai, they could only let the Japanese planes wreak havoc, but now it is good, there are many naval treasures, and they will kill a Japanese plane as soon as they come up.

"Basket goods! Bah!! "Major Xie Kangquan scolded the Japanese plane, he really didn't expect the plane to be shot down by the navy people like this, and a few days ago he wanted to use these two 20mm machine guns as heavy machine guns." How many Japanese soldiers have come up over there? Seeing Rong Zexu save himself for the second time, the major was ready to ignore his treasure.

"There are countless people, at least one or two thousand people have come up." Captain Rong Zexu also wanted to count how many Japanese soldiers there were, but the beach was densely packed with people, and he could only make a rough estimate. "Didn't you say that the Japanese came up and we were leaving?"

The order from above was 'let Japan come in and fight,' and of course Major Xie Kangquan knew this. But he always felt uncomfortable just letting go of the Japanese, "You go back, the regiment commander said, stay here for a while, don't hear the whistle and don't retreat!" Did you know? ”

"Yes, yes! This time it's to hear the whistle and retreat. Rong Zexu rubbed his hands excitedly, when he withdrew just now, he had to kick the buttocks of the soldiers below with his feet, and he was afraid that the Japanese soldiers would have no eggs.

After receiving the order, Rong Zexu crouched down and ran back along the trench, the shells continued to explode in the trench, and the planes continued to strafe the uncovered trench, but the veteran was not slow at all, and there were a lot of parts and ran back. Defending here, the battalion commander Major Xie Kangquan doesn't want to withdraw anymore - if the war is all fought by the navy, where will he put his face if he just picks up the cheap and says it? Furthermore, if you don't kill the Japanese with your own hands, what will the brothers who died in battle think about them and be worthy of them?

The first trench is between the Shanghai-Hangzhou Highway and the beach, and the second trench is under the roadbed on the inside of the Shanghai-Hangzhou Highway. And the 41st Wing of the Kunisaki Detachment, which came ashore, did not only want to sweep the kilometer-wide area from Shanghai-Hangzhou kilometers to the seaside, but also occupied the Shanghai-Hangzhou Highway and then attacked the Jinshan Acropolis.

The exchange of fire on the front line became more and more intense, and the Japanese only felt the stubborn resistance of the soldiers in China this time, the naval guns blew up a puff of dust, and the planes continued to dive and drop bombs, but the enemy in front of them did not retreat. A detail that Major General Kunisaki had deliberately ignored before suddenly came to mind at this time - it was the Hunan soldiers of China who were defending this section.

The fierce exchange of fire in Area B was not only concerned by Major General Noboru Kunisaki, but also by Lieutenant General Yanagawa Heisuke, commander of the 10th Army on the Natori, who was also standing on the bridge and watching the battle on the line of Kaizuki-an: this was on the west side of the Kanayama Acropolis, the center of the landing field. The original plan was to break through from here and then crush the entire line of the defenders. The more than 2,000 people of the Kunisaki detachment, with the assistance of naval guns and aircraft, did not immediately break through the enemy's defense line, which surprised Yanagawa very much.

"Your Excellency? The 62nd Division defending here is the Hunan Army! Major General Moritake, Chief of Staff, introduced.

"Hunan Army?" In modern times, Hunan has always been looked down upon by the Japanese, and when he heard that it was the Hunan Army, Yanagawa Heisuke nodded. He said: "The 6th Division can go ashore?" ”

"Yes, Your Excellency, the 13th Wing of the 6th Division is on the land, and the 47th Wing is close behind, and they will soon occupy the Acropolis of Jinshan." After Tanabe Moritake finished speaking, he said: "Intelligence shows that the command of the Shina Army already knows that our army has landed at Jinshanwei, other troops are reinforcing the Jinshan area, and our air force is blocking the advance of the Shina Army. ”

More than 200 planes took part in the landing operation, the most important task of which was to prevent other units from China from reinforcing Jinshanwei. Although the reinforcement speed of the Shina Army was higher than expected, Yanagawa Heisuke was not surprised, and then the chief of staff, Masao Terada, who had always felt wrong, said: "Your Excellency, the position where the Shina Army appeared is too close to Jinshan, which is completely beyond our expectations. ”

"Too close?" Yanagawa Heisuke turned to look at him, the strings in his heart tightened.

"Yes, Your Excellency." Masao Terada pointed to the location where the reinforcements from China appeared, "The Pudong reinforcements appeared in Luhui Town, less than thirty kilometers away from Jinshanwei, and we thought it was still in the Nanqiao area; The reinforcements of Nanshi were already close to Xinqiao, only twelve kilometers from Songjiang, much faster than we expected; The reinforcements in Hangzhou did not go directly to Jiaxing from the railway, but went directly to Haiyan, and marched at great speed under the bombardment of the planes, which is almost impossible, could it be that Haiyan can reinforce Jinshan faster? In addition, south of Songjiang and Fengjing, and east of Jiaxing, there were no reinforcements from China. If the Chinese army already knew that our army was landing at Jinshanwei, why didn't they send troops to reinforce it? ”

Masaio Terada had always believed that Jinshanwei's landing was a dangerous operation, but now the reinforcements of the Shina Army have deepened this suspicion. It's just that among the reasons he said, there is only one that cannot be reasonably explained - why did the reinforcements sent by Hangzhou choose to drive into Haiyan instead of following the railway to Jiaxing? Now that Jin Shanwei has been sure that he has been attacked by his own side and landed, do they still think that they will land in Haiyan? It's a dead land, what can you do on land but occupy Haiyan?

There are many suspicions, but many years of experience have taught Yanagawa Heisuke that the affairs of Shina are more bizarre than myths, and the high command of Shina often makes some unbelievable orders. He thought for a moment and said: "In Shanghai, the neon five and a half divisions have defeated the one hundred divisions of the Zhi, and the 10th Army now has two and a half divisions, how many divisions does the Zhina Army need to stop our army from advancing?" ”

Yanagawa Heisuke is telling the truth. In fact, only the 3rd, 9th, 11th, 13th, and 101st divisions on land, as well as one Shigeto detachment, two heavy artillery brigades, and the navy's marines participated in the battle, with a total strength of no more than 140,000. With these 140,000 people, 800,000 of the Chinese army were defeated and retreated, and they suffered heavy deaths. The 10th Army's landing from Hangzhou Bay was not because the Shanghai dispatch army could not be moved, but because the Nine-Power Pact Conference was being held in Brussels, and in order to avoid international intervention and sanctions caused by the stalemate of the war, it hoped to increase the number of troops to completely repel and annihilate the Chinese Army.

In the face of great strength, all intrigues and tricks are ineffective. As soon as Yanagawa Heisuke's last sentence came out, Masao Terada lowered his eyebrows. This is indeed the case, according to the ratio of nearly 1:6 troops in the Shanghai battlefield, the Chinese army does not have 300,000 men, and it is difficult to prevent its own army from landing and advancing on Jinshan. And Shanghai and North China have been fighting for a long time, and all the troops that can be mobilized in China have been mobilized, and almost all of the more than 100 troops have been sent to the battlefield, where are there still 300,000 people waiting for them in Jinshanwei?

While Yanagawa Heisuke and the others were talking, the soldiers on the transport ship regiment changed to Daihatsu boats one after another, and then rushed to the coast in piles. The Kunisaki detachment in Area B has gained a firm foothold, and in Area A on the east side of the Acropolis and in Area C on the westernmost side, the 18th Division is nervously landing. At this time, the gunfire of Haiyuean has awakened the defenders of the entire defense line, and they can be regarded as picking up a big bargain - before the Japanese get off the big boat, they still need to wade ashore, even if there is a double threat of naval guns and aircraft, the defenders' 30-section heavy machine guns are still 'bang ......bang' aimed at the shallow sea to avoid the Japanese army and shoot wildly, causing the Japanese to scream, the soldiers fell down one by one like targets, and the floating corpses floated all over the shore.

Major Wang Zilong, commander of the 1st Battalion of the 372nd Regiment of the Missing Defense Line, seemed to be on fire all over his body, and after the heavy machine gun machine gunner was killed by the Japanese plane, he personally took the handle of the gun and pulled the bolt on, aiming it at the Japanese troops in the sea and striking hard. He had never seen so many Japanese soldiers in his life, and he had never been in such a favorable position in his life. The enemy artillery was bombarding around him, and the enemy planes were strafing overhead, but the heavy machine gun in his hand was trembling vigorously, the cooling water in the water tank was boiling and whistling, and every cell in his body was exploding even more violently!

In the fierce battle in Shanghai, how many of his brothers died! How many of their own compatriots died! Now I finally have a chance to get back to my roots!

"Don't you, mother! Don't you, Mom! Don't ...... your mother" In the roar of the machine gun, seeing the Japanese soldiers fall one by one, the red-eyed Wang Zilong scolded that he couldn't do anything else, so he had to "don't give his mother", and he felt that the machine gun bullets that kept shooting were like his sharp and broken teeth, biting to death one after another Oriental devils.

On the easternmost line of the missing defense line, the soldiers and officers scolded and killed the enemy, but in the westernmost Quangong Pavilion, Colonel Li Bojiao, commander of the 187th Brigade of the 63rd Division, chanted a poem amid the sound of gunfire:

"It hurts only to hurt, in the first year of the first year, the defeat was defeated; The pain is only painful, Gengzi year, and he was killed and injured.

It hurts, it hurts, the ground is cut off, and it never returns; The pain is only painful, and the compensation will never be repaid.

The pain is only painful, and the three eastern provinces have been forcibly occupied; It hurts, Oriental soldiers, and invade the south again......"

Li Bojiao ignored the overwhelming artillery fire of the Japanese army and patrolled back and forth in the trenches, constantly instructing the soldiers to 'aim at the point' and 'hit hard' in a low voice, but he himself was immersed in Chen Tianhua's "Fierce Return". Although few people remember these things, he found this Chen Tianhua's "Fierce Return" in his late father's books, and he also knew that his late father had actually been General Cai Yi's personal secretary. He doesn't care what others say about General Cai Yi, he only knows that he is a hero.

"Brigade seat, brigade seat," Zhou Zhen, the lieutenant colonel of the 373rd Regiment, ran over with a roll, walked in front of Li Bojiao and stumbled, he raised his voice and said: "The command wants us to retreat!" Command wants us to retreat! ”

"How can you withdraw?" Li Bojiao stood up, pointed to the sea and said, "Isn't it to let the Japanese come up if you withdraw now?" ...... that night"

"Brigade seat, the command said that the cannon will be fired soon! It's about to be fired! Zhou Zhen shouted. The Japanese ships shelled and the Japanese planes bombed, but the telephone lines were completely buried in the ground several meters deep in bamboo joints coated with tung oil and waterproof, and the headquarters could reach the regiment all the way. Li Bojiao was not at the brigade headquarters and went to the front line, and the call from the command headquarters could only reach the front line trenches.

In the ancestral hall of the Yao family in Zhangyan, Lieutenant General Tao Guang, the commander of the 28th Army, had a blue and white face, he thought of everything, he really didn't expect that his troops couldn't withdraw, this was not that they couldn't be bitten by the Japanese army, this was that the front-line soldiers wanted to be red and didn't want to withdraw. The battalion commander and company commander below were red-eyed, and Li Bojiao, the commander of the 187th Brigade, actually went to the front-line trench in person. In peacetime, this can be regarded as a matter of long-term face, but now it is a lack of military discipline and disobedience to military orders.

"Commander-in-chief, I will personally go to the front line and let them withdraw!" Tao Guang was in a hurry, and he just wanted to go to the front line in person and twist back the brains of those pigs who didn't eat oil and salt.

"Commander Tao must not go. Didn't Division Commander Chen of the 63rd Division also say that he was going to the front line to call people back, but there has been no news so far. ”

Lieutenant General Huang Qixiang didn't smile on the side, the 28th Army was really crazy, and he didn't want to withdraw at all.

"Commander Chen, look at this ......" Zhang Fakui also had a headache for the 28th Army's refusal to accept the military order, he was also worried that the miscellaneous division in this miscellaneous division would be defeated by the Japanese, but now it is good, with the messy people's livelihood and self-made 30 heavy machine guns, this group of miscellaneous soldiers wearing hats actually fought with the Japanese army.

"28. It is not a big problem not to withdraw." Seeing that everyone had opinions on the 28th Army's refusal to obey the military order, Chen Jiliang immediately said good things, after all, the Japanese army's assault on the fort would have to rely on the 28th Army to block it. "Naval Batteries No. 1 and No. 2 are the first to fire. Batteries No. 3 and No. 4 were originally intended to cover the trenches on the front line, but the navy carefully surveyed and mapped the entire area, and when the time came, two more guns would have been test-fired. ”

Chen Jiliang's words made Lieutenant General Tao Guang, who was sweating on his forehead, suddenly breathe a sigh of relief. Zhang Fakui didn't care about Tao Guang, he looked at the clock next to the wall, it was already half past seven, he said, "Then we will shoot?" ”

"Well, shoot now!" Chen Jiliang nodded heavily. But after he nodded, he gave an order that shocked everyone: "Prepare to change the command immediately, and raise my flag." ”

The army will only look for a battle when raising the commander's flag, Zhang Fakui and the others changed color, but Chen Jiliang smiled and said: "This is a battle between the navy and the navy!" (To be continued.) )
