Luodian tasted the sweetness Chen Cheng concocted the same method in Yuepu, and Matsui Shigen began a counteroffensive to prevent the front from being encroached, but after a few battles, he found that the Chinese just want you to counterattack, want you to attack, and then use the existing fortifications to consume your effective strength. Qb (5), COM\ China suffered too much artillery losses, the newly opened 24th Group Army used the night to turn the vicinity of Luodian into a criss-cross trench, these Sichuan people are not afraid of the underground water, even if they see the water, they dig it, and then scoop the water out, wood, stones, and soil, all of which are used to pad the roof of the anti-artillery cave. The method of retreating during the artillery bombardment left by the 1st Division was also used, and the Japanese suffered heavy casualties in the end.

However, these alone are not enough, the strong firepower of the Sichuan army played a big role, even if other troops dodged the shelling, but the firepower was weak, the Japanese army could always attack the position to carry out hand-to-hand combat, and hand-to-hand combat was the most consuming of troops, but this hand was not good in front of the Sichuan army, the firepower of the Sichuan army was too strong, there was a Czech light machine gun in a squad, there was a machine gun platoon in the battalion, heavy machine guns 82 mortars, bazookas, all available, the wave formation, triangle formation, tank cover charge used by the Japanese army, all failed.

When the tank was beaten down in Luodian, Matsui Shigen was a little shocked, the squadron used to blow up the tank with a human bomb, but this time it destroyed the tank with a weapon, which shows that the squadron has sharp anti-tank weapons, and this situation was quickly transmitted back to Tokyo. Tokyo immediately sent someone to the front to find out the situation and see if the empire needed to improve the tank.

Although Matsui Ishine saw through the tactics of the squadron, he had nothing to do but strengthen the artillery fire, use a more resolute attack to break the encroachment of the squadron, and at the same time propose reinforcements to Tokyo, the casualties in this battle are too large, the total casualties of several divisions and regiments have reached more than 50,000 people, and the troops have been replenished twice in just two months, each time it is about 20,000 people, but now the average of each unit is only two-thirds of the full strength.

Because Yang Sen brought the reorganized 24th Group Army instead of the historical 20th Army, the Shanghai War of Resistance began to slowly deviate from the historical track.

The Japanese army was firmly divided and confined to four battlefields, Luodian, Dachang, Yunzaobin and the urban area, Chen Cheng's new tactics slowly helped the squadron to regain the initiative, and more than 100,000 Japanese troops were controlled by the 700,000 squadron, if there were no other changes, it was certain that these Japanese troops would be driven into the sea within a month.

"The Japanese government has decided to increase troops in Shanghai, and there are five divisions and regiments currently known by number, two of which were transferred from North China."

The information sent by Wang Xiaoshan made Chen Cheng first shocked, and then happy, the Japanese army finally transferred troops from North China, so that the strategic goal was achieved.

"The Japanese army began to follow our strategy, and the purpose of the Songhu War has been fully achieved." Chen Cheng said excitedly to Gu Zhutong.

Gu Zhutong's expression was a little worried, he stared at the sand table: "Judging from the clues from the intelligence, only a small part of this group of Japanese troops will be sent to the south bank of the Yangtze River, and the main force may land in the north of Hangzhou Bay, but the north of Hangzhou Bend is so big, there are four or five suitable for landing, and we have so many troops." ”

More than 700,000 troops have been transferred from the Shanghai front, but the casualties are also huge, as high as 1230,000 before and after, and most of them are experienced veterans. Most of the troops were crippled, and now the four group armies of the Eighth Army in the north of Hangzhou composed of second-rate troops, counting on them, Gu Zhutong and Chen Cheng were not so naïve.

What to do? Now the question is once again in front of the two of them.

According to the opinion of the two of them, they immediately organized a retreat. Take advantage of the fact that the Japanese reinforcements have not yet arrived. The initiative is still in hand. Retreat immediately. Withdraw to the Wufu line. Defense was carried out with fortifications. This move avoided the superiority of the Japanese ground naval guns. It can effectively deplete the Japanese army's local vitality.

"Ask the chairman." Chen Cheng understands Gu Zhu's difficulties in the same place. He was also helpless in his heart. The Brussels conference is just a few days away. Chiang Kai-shek would not agree to withdraw troops at this time.

Soon. Chiang Kai-shek's call back arrived. It was strictly forbidden to withdraw troops from Shanghai. It must be held out until the end of the Brussels Conference.

Chen Cheng did not give up. With the current local forces, they barely have the upper hand on the battlefield. The Japanese army increased its strength by five divisions. It is equivalent to doubling the current number of troops. The balance of victory and defeat will immediately tilt in favor of the Japanese army.

Chen Cheng again suggested to Chiang Kai-shek. Retreat gradually. Abandon Shanghai. The Japanese army increased its troops. And the strength of our army is close to exhaustion. It is difficult to get reinforcements in a short period of time. Now is the right time to retire.

Chiang Kai-shek's reply was in a very stern tone, he warned Chen Cheng not to be timid and afraid of war, and that the Japanese army would resolutely hold Shanghai even if it landed in the northern part of Hangzhou Bay, and that this matter had a bearing on the international community and could not be ignored, and that this matter could not be discussed again, and that Shanghai must not give up until the end of the Brussels Conference, and those who violated the order would be dealt with by military law.

"Well, forget it, resignation, let's do our best." Gu Zhutong sighed, although Chiang Kai-shek said that he was also the commander of the Third Theater, but the specific command was still carried out by Gu Zhutong, and he was a little helpless in this situation at the moment.

After being reprimanded by Chiang Kai-shek, Chen Cheng had no choice, he sat down on the chair a little dejectedly, stared at the map of the Songhu Theater hanging on the wall, and said in a low voice for a while: "Third Brother Mo, this responsibility is still up to us." ”

Gu Zhutong understood after a while: "Do you have a way?" ”

"This is a risky move," Chen Cheng's eyes were a little dull: "If we succeed, we can complete the task of the chairman, and if we fail, we will go to the military court, but the troops should be able to be saved." ”

"Tell me about it." Gu Zhutong was stunned, he didn't expect Chen Cheng to say such a thing, he was sure that this plan was extremely risky.

"First of all, the Left Theater must make adjustments, withdraw Li Jiayu's troops as a reserve, and Yuepu let Bai Huizhang's 102nd Division defend." Chen Cheng's first sentence made Gu Zhu Tongxin tremble, Bai Huizhang was a subordinate of Wang Jialie, and he was the main cadre who forced Wang Jialie to step down.

"In addition, the 36th Division and the 74th Army were withdrawn from the urban battlefield, Xu Yuanquan's Second Army was ordered to finish the rest and immediately drive to the north of Hangzhou Bay, and Zhang Fakui was ordered to leave only one division in Pudong, and the rest of the troops were all transferred to the north of Hangzhou Bay, and there were more landing points, but no matter from which landing point, he must conquer Songjiang, so the northern part of Hangzhou Bay was deployed with Songjiang as the core, and the 21st Group Army was responsible for the defense of Songjiang City, and the 74th Army and the 36th Division defended outside the city, so as to form a deep fortification, Maybe it can drag out the Brussels meeting. "Chen Cheng himself is not very sure about this formation, whether it is the 74th Army or the 36th Division, the losses are very large, and now the troops are probably only half of the full strength.

"There are too many troops withdrawn from the urban area, and the urban area may not be able to support it," Gu Zhutong shook his head and said, he didn't say anything about other arrangements, and he acquiesced: "The 36th Division does not move, it is better to transfer Wu Qiwei's 90th Division over, they have rested for two weeks and can participate in the battle." ”

Can you go to war in two weeks? Chen Cheng couldn't help but smile bitterly, Wu Qiwei's 90th Division was adapted from the original 19th Route Army, and its combat effectiveness was considerable, but it was also seriously weakened.

Chen Cheng calculated in his heart, knowing that Gu Zhutong didn't want the 36th Division to be over-consumed, but in fact, although the 36th Division had been fighting in the city for a long time, and the losses of the troops were also very large, the 36th Division was replenished three times, and the supplementary soldiers were all from veterans of various units, and the 90th Division was only strong and not weak.

As for Yuepu, the two of them knew each other.

As the war continues, Matsui Ishone continues to fight back, and his head is broken in Luodian, but progress is made in Tsukiura. Obviously, the defenders of Yuepu have been replaced, which makes Matsui Shigen a little puzzled, in his opinion, the original Sichuan army's defense was very good, and it didn't fight for two days, so it can continue to fight, why did it change so quickly?

Matsui was puzzled, and Chief of Staff Harada believed that the withdrawal of the main force of the Chinese Army and the replacement of the miscellaneous cards of Guizhou showed that the Chinese Army was planning a major operation and had to concentrate the main force.

Matsui's first reaction was that the Shina army was going to carry out a full-scale counteroffensive in Radian, and he immediately sent a telegram to Saito, asking him to be vigilant against a possible attack by the Shina army.

"Commander, I think we should turn our focus to the city," and after Matsuiguchi had finished his telegram to Saito, Harada suggested: "Force the Suzhou Creek, sweep the city, and take Shanghai." ”

This time, Matsui nodded, and the capture of Yuepu was equivalent to opening up the connection between Chuanshakou and Wusong, and the landing ground was expanded, and the room for maneuver was stronger.

"Yo Xi, order the Nomura detachment of the Fourth Scattered Division to join the urban battle." Matsui accepted it almost immediately.

In the evening of the same day, Wolpo was lost, 4,000 troops were killed, and the Japanese army opened up the connection between the two landing sites. This time, Bai Huizhang injured his vitality, 8,000 officers and soldiers, and in the end, there were only more than 1,000 people left who could walk back with him.

The battlefield of Luodian gradually subsided, and the fighting on the side of Suzhou Creek became fierce again, and the Japanese army forcibly crossed the Suzhou Creek several times and rushed into the other side of the Suzhou Creek several times, but it was not long before they were driven out again.

"What do you say? The Chinese Army added two more army groups to the northern part of Hangzhou Bay. Maeda, the head of the Mei Agency, who got the news, was suddenly shocked, and he immediately realized that someone had leaked secrets, so the Shina Army would act so quickly. But Harada thought about it and felt that there was no way to do this, and there was almost no clue at all.

There are many people who have access to this secret, especially the officers in the Tokyo base camp can access this document; can see this document, and it is obviously redundant to check so many people.

The second is to ask for monthly ticket support
