5ooo men and soldiers raided Zhabei in three ways, repelled the defensive positions of the 156th Brigade of the 78th Division of the 19th Army in a blink of an eye, captured Tiantongan Station and Shanghai North Railway Station, and then divided the troops along the railway line step by step, and the other two roads began to attack and occupy important public facilities and main buildings in Zhabei.

When the news came, there was silence and silence in the conference room of the Nanjing General Headquarters.

An Yi was angry and emotional, but he felt a sense of relief, after many days of anxious waiting and full preparation for war, An Yi and his tens of thousands of soldiers were nervous every second, at this time the war started, but there was no such heart-wrenching feeling of waiting hard, after the whole person was relaxed, then the fighting spirit was strong, and the murderous heart suddenly rose.

Yang Jie's face turned pale and suddenly stood up, facing Chiang Kai-shek's earnest words: "Commission, the situation is extremely urgent, we can't hesitate any longer, the 60th and 61st Divisions of the 19th Route Army should be transferred eastward immediately, General Zhang Zhizhong's 87th Division will go to the Jiangyin defense line as soon as possible, and General Yu Jishi's 88th Division will all go to Suzhou as a backup for the 19th Route Army to reinforce the battlefield at any time." In addition, General Gu Changfeng's 44th Division should immediately go to the Songhu battlefield and report to General Jiang Guangding; if the Ministry of Military Affairs and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs still insist on the opinion and strive not to expand the situation, then let the 44th Division fight in the name of the supplementary division of the 19th Route Army. Now we must strive for peace, but we must not fight, otherwise we will all become sinners through the ages if we are not careful! ”

In the past two days, Yang Jie, the deputy chief of staff who had held several discussions with An Yi and had a little confidence in his heart, resolutely expressed his opinion, and under the premise that Chairman Jiang was concurrently the chief of staff, he, the deputy chief of staff in the first order, was tantamount to the chief of staff in substance, and it would be a serious dereliction of duty not to say anything at this time.

Secretly, Yang Jie knew that after Gu Changfeng's special battalion captured two Japanese spies and interrogated them by surprise, the bold An Yi had secretly ordered the 44th Division to quietly detour and go to the edge of the battlefield. At the same time, the Hujialin Independent Division, the most elite and experienced in combat, also quietly moved out at nine o'clock tonight and quietly moved east along the Jiangbei line to avoid countless spies and spies on the Beijing-Shanghai highway and railway arteries from grasping their whereabouts.

Chiang Kai-shek suffered from gains and losses, and he decided to make a decision, and turned to look at Chen Shuming, who was sacrificing himself: "Before dawn, can you let the soldiers of the 19th Route regain the lost territory?" ”

"No problem! The enemy's offensive force was only more than 5,000 people, and it was necessary to control such a large area, so it would be difficult to gather troops to resist our army's counterattack, so his subordinates ordered Ou Shounian to lead the whole division of 11,000 soldiers to go all out to drive the Japanese invaders back to the Japanese concession. However, the follow-up reinforcements must be fast, otherwise once the Japanese army is reinforced, our troops will not be enough. Chen Shuming replied loudly.

Seeing Chiang Kai-shek nodding his head in appreciation, An Yi hurriedly interjected: "Commission, my subordinates suggest that the 16th Regiment of the Military Police stationed in Shanghai be mobilized to move 81-in-56, and the military police regiment is familiar with the terrain and is better equipped.

"Good!"

Chiang Kai-shek finally made up his mind and turned to Ge Jingen: "If you are in debt, let's give an order, and in addition, let the commander of the military police, Gu Jichang (Gu Zhenglun), come here to report as soon as he issues an order." ”

"Yes!"

Chiang Kai-shek and Chen Shuming beside him discussed in a low voice for a moment, nodded, stood up and walked towards An Yi, and sighed with a face: "An Yi, your judgment is right, the Japanese do harbor evil intentions, and the Northeast has not yet been completely digested...... I am very pleased that you can take precautions and make targeted arrangements!

I heard Yang Jie say that your two divisions have been dispatched, and the 44th Division will soon arrive in Shanghai to join the officers and men of the 19th Route Army. The two armies need to coordinate and command in combat, and I think about it, it is difficult for you to take on the great responsibility!

In this case, you should be aggrieved for the time being, and rush to the Songhu battlefield as soon as possible as the former chief of the general staff of the 19th Route Army to assist General Jiang Jingran (Jiang Guang) and General Cai Xianchu (Transcription Tingkai) in commanding the operation. Remember, this is a national war related to the overall situation, you must not be a bull temper, let alone have dirty and unhappy with friendly troops for the sake of fame and fortune, as long as you can fight against the Japanese invaders, whether it is the 19th Route Army or the 24th Army, it is the Chinese army! ”

An Yi raised his head and replied solemnly: "Principal, please rest assured, students are not greedy for fame and fortune, and they will go all out to assist the officers and men of the 19th Route Army to win the victory of the self-defense war.

As long as they can fight the Japanese invaders on the front line and defend their homes and the country, they are the greatest pride of the students and the officers and men of the 24th Army. ”

"General Ann 111111"

Chen Shuming stepped forward excitedly and held An Yi's hand tightly.

"Good, good! Go ahead, I will send you a telegram as soon as there is any instruction, and you have to take care of yourself! ”

Chiang Kai-shek patted An Yi's arm and sent it to the door in person, and Chen Shuming and Zhang Zhizhong followed immediately, watching An Yi salute and leave with anticipation.

When the generals saw An Yi leaving, they all breathed a sigh of relief, and they all respected An Yi's mind. Everyone knew in their hearts that as long as An Yi came to the front line to command, measured by the combat effectiveness of Gu Changfeng and Hu Jialin's two tiger and wolf divisions, the Japanese army would definitely not be able to bargain for anything in the short term.

He Yingqin also breathed a long sigh of relief, An Yi, who was always against him, was much more comfortable in his heart, and it happened that Yang Jie's eyes met He Yingqin unexpectedly, and the two looked at each other and smiled and lowered their heads to work. What Yang Jie did was how to rationally mobilize troops as soon as possible to make up for the emptiness in the first and second fronts, and He Yingqin was how to consult with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and firmly grasp the degree and quantity of the war, so as to facilitate the favorable conduct of the next step of negotiations.

At three o'clock in the morning, the smoke of Zhabei in Shanghai was everywhere, a chaos, the dense sound of guns finally shattered all the dreams of the peacemakers, the iron hooves of the Japanese army accompanied by bursts of violent explosions and the crackling sound of burning fire, resounded all over the earth, from the North Railway Station to the Tiantongan Station The first line was particularly intense, the officers and men of the 156th Brigade of the 19th Route Army and the officers and men of the 16th Regiment of the Military Police gradually entered a better situation after the initial bribery and chaos, and the friendly forces cooperated closely, forgetting their lives and forgetting to block the enemy's advance pace, and then launched a tenacious offensive battle. The officers and men of the 156th Brigade, who were so killed, threw down their rifles, braved the rain of bullets and bullets to rush forward bravely, used grenades to push the enemy back 100 meters from the enemy on the opposite side, and used the flesh and blood of the fallen juniper one by one to build the military soul of the squadron that was not afraid of death.

The officers and men of the military police regiment were deeply infected, and under the leadership of the commanders of each company, they relied on their familiarity with the terrain to make decisive attacks, fought flexibly, and dealt a head-on blow to the invincible Japanese invaders, greatly relieving the pressure on friendly forces and creating prestige and morale for the counteroffensive on the whole front.

After three hours of fierce fighting, the Japanese invaders, who also suffered heavy losses, left behind more than 300 corpses, and the whole line was defeated, and the defending officers and soldiers bravely pursued and drove all the Japanese invaders into the Japanese concession before it came to an end.

Just after seven o'clock in the morning, Cai Tingkai from the headquarters of the 19th Route Army walked out of the polluted room, and as soon as he came to the door, he exhaled his bad breath, when he saw the chief of the operations section walking briskly with two young men wearing camouflage uniforms and not hanging the ranks that the Central Army was generally using.

Cai Tingkai carefully identified it, immediately strode forward, saluted each other, and then enthusiastically stretched out his hands: "General Gu came so fast!" I received the telegram last night, and I thought it would be noon at the earliest...... Ha ha...... This is ......"

"Yan Yaohuan, deputy commander of the 44th Division, salutes the general!" Yan Yaohuan saluted and took the initiative to stretch out his hands.

"It turned out to be General Yan, look up for a long time!" Cai Tingkai looked at Yan Yaohuan happily and nodded again and again: "I have long heard about General Yan's outstanding command in the Central Plains War, and today I am finally fortunate to see it, and I am fortunate to have three lives!" Ha ha! Two inside please! ”

"Cai Beijun, please!"

In the headquarters, after listening to the battle report of Dai Ji, the commander of the Songhu garrison, Gu Changfeng and Yan Yaohuan immediately rushed to the map and observed to the west, and after a while, Gu Changfeng asked:

"Commanders, how to mobilize and use our department, please give orders, within four hours, Chief An Yi issued three orders, two of which are orders for the officers and soldiers of our division to unconditionally obey the command of the commander of the 19th Route Army, and the subordinates strictly obey the military orders, and ask the commander to give orders!"

Cai Tingkai, who had already received the telegrams from Chen Shuming and An Yi, and the generals looked at each other with emotion and nodded, obviously very satisfied with Gu Changfeng's attitude. At the moment, Cai Tingkai pointed to Wu Songkou on the map, and said worriedly:

"So far, we still don't know the exact number of Japanese troops, but what is certain is that the enemy did not pour out their nests, but had reservations. Now our 60th Division has come from the west, and it will be there in five hours, and the only thing that worries us is the place of Wusongkou. If the Japanese army forcibly boarded the 6 under the cover of the powerful artillery fire of the warships and appeared on the flank of our army, it would be difficult for our army to divide its forces to resist the enemy, so can we ask General Gu and General Yan to lead your troops to the front line of Wusongkou? ”

"Good! Very good! It's really the same thing that heroes see! It is not flattering, during the period when our division was stationed at Hukou, it conducted special training for the anti-Deng 6 operation, and also summed up some methods to deal with it, and it is best for our division to guard this line! Subordinates obey! Gu Changfeng replied briskly.

Yan Yaohuan raised his wrist and looked at his watch, it was almost time, so he took half a step forward: "Each of our officers and soldiers carries two sets of military uniforms and two pairs of new-style combat rubber shoes, and I will leave one of them later, so that your army can replenish and consume, and at the same time, it may be able to confuse the enemy, and play a certain role in keeping the whereabouts and numbers of our army secret." It's a pity that there is only one steel helmet and can't stay, please forgive me! ”

"Great! In this way, we will definitely be able to confuse the Japanese army, so that the enemy's judgment will be blurred for a while, thinking that we are the main force of the Central Army, and will not dare to act rashly! Tricks! Cai's commodore thank you! Cai Tingkai and the generals were very happy.

Gu Changfeng added: "I believe that it will not be long before there will be reporters coming, please make every effort to deal with it, and try not to let reporters and any personnel unrelated to the battle go to the garrison of our division as much as possible, and we will also deal with it in the name of the 19th Route Army Supplementary Division." In addition, within three hours, the communications section of our division will bring a special telephone line, and I would like to ask you to give any orders to the commanders. The subordinates are leaving! ”

Ten minutes passed, and after an army that seemed to suddenly emerge from the ground passed through the side of the 19th Route Army Defense Area, each soldier put down a set of camouflage uniforms and wrapped shoes on the dry roadside, and then ran in the direction of Wusongkou to the north.

The brothers of the 19th Route Army did not make the slightest noise when they saw the well-equipped and well-trained tens of thousands of friendly troops passing in formation, except for the sound of footsteps, and they were not the slightest murmur.

The artillery battalion commander's surname was due to his name, and when he suddenly heard that it was called "should gamble money", he also lived up to this name, and his gambling skills were extremely exquisite, and he was nicknamed "Lao Qian" by the brothers. At this time, looking at the friendly troops who were leaving in a hurry, Ying Duqian said in a low voice: "All of them are bare-necked, but I don't know what will happen after the gunshot." ”

"Yo, you kid dare to underestimate others? I'm sure your artillery battalion won't be able to beat any of their artillery battalions! A familiar voice came from behind him.

Lao Qian just wanted to be angry, and suddenly felt that something was wrong, looked back, and hurriedly stood up straight and saluted, and the surrounding brothers saw that it was the birthday of the division area, and they were all nervous and saluted, and closed their mouths.

Ou Shounian pointed to the piled up of military uniforms and shoes on the side of the road not far away, and ordered in a low voice: "All regiments and battalions immediately go and pick up those clothes and shoes and change them, the size is not right, and they must be completed within twenty minutes!" ”

"Yes!"

The officers immediately dispersed, and Lao Qian took a few steps and turned back again: "Division, which unit of the Central Army is this?" ”

Ou Shou sighed young: "The forty-fourth division of the An Jiajun Gu madman, are you convinced?" Your 5,000-plus high-explosive shells are still miniature shells. ”

Lao Qian was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "The subordinates are convinced, hehe!" But anyway, General An is also our son-in-law in Guangdong, and he can be regarded as a relative, no shame, hehe......"

At the same time, the American ocean liner "Annatis" sounded its flute and slowly leaned towards the Huangpu Wharf in Shanghai, where Mr. and Mrs. Ou Yaoting stood on the side of the ship with their excited beloved daughter and innocent and curious grandson, looking at the unextinguished gunpowder smoke over Shanghai, extremely anxious and sad.
