Section VII Retreating the National Defense Line VI
Commander Sun's concern is very right, we are afraid that it will take two of the 100,000 people of our army to Nanjing, and when we arrive in Nanjing, I estimate that the Japanese army is probably about to arrive, or the friendly troops are all disabled. Dear book friends: I like it, please come to the show to read that we are probably the most complete army. Zhuang Jihua began to slowly guide everyone: "Judging from the summary of the situation passed back by General Baili, the Japanese army has a great appetite, and they want to encircle Nanjing. β
As he spoke, he stood up and walked to the map: "You see, if the Japanese army on the southern front breaks through Jiaxing, and then along Nanxun, Guangde, Xuancheng, and Wuhu, cut off the retreat of our army in Nanjing, and force our army to cross the Yangtze River north." In addition, they will make use of the superior navy and air force to kill and injure a large number of our army's vital forces. β
Crossing is cool, in line with the understanding of the Nanjing Massacre, this kind of massacre can only be born in the case of being surrounded, according to this result backwards, Zhuang Jihua came to the general action strategy of the Japanese army.
"So I thought that our army should be divided into two routes, one by land and directly to Guangde, and the other to Nanjing; Those who went to Guangde were commanded by Commander Sun of the 102nd Army, Wang Mingzhang and Rao Guohua, and Guo Xun followed the 101st Army to Nanjing. Commander Sun, you must hold Guangde and try to hold back the Japanese army on the southern front, and the longer you delay, the better. β
"Are we going to Nanjing to the Xicheng line?" Guo Xun looked very calm, and his judgment was that it might be difficult for the Shanghai front to hold the Wufu line.
Zhuang Jihua's gaze became calmer: "Let's talk about it in Nanjing, but there is one point, Nanjing is likely to become a battlefield." β
"In addition, the telegram ordered Du Yuming and Lu Han, ordering them to speed up and give up the heavy artillery unit if necessary, two months, Lu Han has just walked out of Guizhou, Du Yuming is still in Guizhou Mountain, what are you doing? Tell them to speed up. β
The traffic in Guizhou is too poor, many places are not open to traffic at all, and can only be pulled by horses, not to mention howitzers, even howitzers are impassable, Du Yuming is better, there is Lu Han in front.
Lu Han simply walked all the way to build the road and build a bridge all the way, and it took a lot of effort to get out of Guizhou in two months, and he is still struggling in the mountains of Xiangxi.
"Is it possible for Lu Han not to go to Nanjing, but to go directly to Guangde, so that we will have a new force on the southern front." Sun Zhen said suddenly.
Zhuang Jihua looked at the map, from Xiangxi to Zhuzhou, and then entered Jiangxi, and went directly to Jiangsu on the southern route, which was slightly faster than going from Hunan to Wuhan and then to Nanjing.
"Good idea. Brother Mago. Draw up a route to the march. Then telegraphed to LujΓ‘n. Zhuang Jihua immediately made a decision.
"I think it's better to send someone to go. We should make all the issues clear. Fu Chang's reminder makes sense. The analysis of the battle situation can only be explained in person.
"Good. That's up to you. Zhuang Jihua waved his hand again. Throw things to Fu Chang. Fu Chang also accepted it nonchalantly. They all understand Zhuang Jihuadi's style. Explain the matter. Do it yourself. He just wants results.
The 49th Army began to operate at high speed. The first troops came aboard that night. Sun Zhen led Rao Guohua to Wuhu by boat. After disembarking in Wuhu. Advance to Xuancheng Guangde; And An En led his troops directly to Nanjing Xiaguan Wharf.
The Japanese continued their onslaught. Local miners from Minami Kyushu Bear broke through Minhang first. Zhang Kuidi's resistance lasted only two days. The three divisions of the Eighth Army were consumed more than half. Forced to retreat in the direction of Shanghai. Gu Shoufu triumphantly commanded the Sixth Division to break through to Shanghai.
Nguyen Zhaochang's resistance at Phong Tiong lasted only one day. That night, the 18th Division attacked Fengjiao. Nguyen Zhaochang led the incomplete 57th Division to retreat to Jiashan overnight. The next day, abandon Jiashan and continue to retreat. Received an order from Yu Jishi halfway. Jiaxing was attacked by the 114th Division. Ordered his 57th Division to withdraw to Pingwang. Together with the Jiangsu Security Brigade in Pingwangdi, we will stick to Pingwang.
Ruan Zhaochang looked at the more than 2,000 people left around him, and looked at Ping with a wry smile. In the south, there was the sound of rumbling artillery in Jiaxing, and the 10th Group and the 74th Division under the command of Liu Jianxu were fighting fiercely with the 114th Division.
In the critical Songjiang battlefield, the 21st Group commanded by Liao Lei had a slight upper hand in the battle with the Guosaki Detachment, which had only more than 3,000 people, and although it had equipment advantages, it could not stand the large number of soldiers of the 21st Group, Liao Lei defended the city with two divisions of Wei Yunsong's 48th Army, and launched a counteroffensive on both flanks with the 176th Division of Ou Shounian and Yang Junchang's 171st Division, forcing the Guosaki Detachment to switch to the defensive, and even asked for help from the Sixth Division. Gu Shoufu, who broke through Minhang, sent a brigade to attack Songjiang from the flank.
Minhang was broken through, Chen Cheng was anxious, ordered to begin the gradual withdrawal from the city, and at the same time asked Chiang Kai-shek to retreat again, reminding him that if he did not retreat, the situation in Songhu would be out of control; On November 12, Chiang Kai-shek finally agreed to retreat from Shanghai.
Chen Cheng hurriedly ordered a retreat, ordering the rest of the armies to retreat to the Wufu line after the 20th Army. The Japanese army quickly sensed the actions of the squadron, and the attack became more violent.
The retreat quickly turned into a rout in the attack of the Japanese army, and the 87th Division left a battalion of more than 200 people in the urban area to block the pursuers, and the rest of the divisions ran to the rear, and the rest of the divisions did not even leave a battalion behind, and all of them ran towards the Wufu line.
The rout, the whole army retreated, the bulky weapons and equipment were lost, the wounded were discarded; On the way to escape, the news of the loss of Liuhe further aggravated the chaos, and the Japanese advance team disguised itself as a squadron, which further aggravated the chaos as the rout attacked.
The rout continued to retreat westward, and on the Beijing-Shanghai highway, there was chaos and ran empty
Trucks and sedans filled the roads, and the faces of the routs were full of panic.
"Get out of here!" A truck was dragging artillery, the truck was loaded with half a cart of shells, and a dozen artillery men were on the car, swinging their fists to knock down the rout soldiers who were about to climb up.
"Push the cart away! Fast! Get down! Come down! and clear the roads! Dozens of fast horses galloped from behind, and the major general on the horse waved his whip to pull down the rout who was climbing the cart.
"Yes, Commander! This carβ" The second lieutenant in the car looked at the rout below with some embarrassment.
Yang Hanyu pulled out his pistol and fired two shots into the sky, everyone on the field was silent, Yang Hanyu stood up straight on the horse and said loudly: "Brothers, my department!" Ordered to seize Taicang! Stop the Japanese army, ask the brothers to help clean up the things on the road! β
"Liar!"
"They want to run first! Deceiving! β
Yang Hanyu escaped from his pocket with a piece of paper: "Brothers! This is an order from the Commander's Department of the 3rd Theater of Operations! β
The routed soldiers who blocked the road quieted down, and Yang Hanyu shouted anxiously: "Brothers, you don't have time, you can go now, our brothers from the 20th Army are still blocking the Japanese army in Luodian!" I, Yang Hanyu, can't leave my brother behind and run! Clear the way, brethren! β
After Yang Hanyu finished speaking, he took the lead in dismounting and running towards the trucks and sedans on the road, and the soldiers of the guard platoon behind also dismounted and began to clear the road.
"Enemy planes! Enemy! β
A scream drew everyone's eyes to the sky.
Yang Hanyu looked up and saw that a few black dots flew in the sky, and his head suddenly buzzed, the artillery was going to be unable to be saved, and this thought immediately appeared in his mind.
The Japanese planes began to dive, and at this time several long lines of fire flew on the road, and the divisional anti-aircraft battalion opened fire, and twelve anti-aircraft machine guns arrived just in time, and they did not even have time to unload from the cars and start firing.
The soldiers crowded on the road immediately dispersed, the road became empty, and Yang Hanyu yelled at the driver: "Drive!" Fast! β
The driver picked up the truck and started the car, not caring about the artillery still under the car, Yang Hanyu also rode on the horse and chased after the guard platoon; The Japanese planes will have air defense below, thinking that below is an important department of the squadron, and they will become more crazy, beckoning more planes, and the air defense battalion will open up and fight with the Japanese planes.
More than 20 Japanese planes fought around the road, and the air defense battalion soon suffered casualties, and the retreating troops bypassed this road and continued to flee westward, and by the time the Chinese air force arrived, the 133 air defense battalion had been completely lost, none of the battalion survived, and eight of the twelve 75 howitzers were lost.
The chain explosion caused by the shells damaged the road, and the follow-up troops of 133 advanced in an even more chaotic manner, and it was not until the evening that Yang Hanyu arrived in Taicang, and the troops with him were only one regiment.
Yang Hanyu hurried to the city defense headquarters, Taicang is an important traffic artery, there was originally a division stationed in the city, but when the war was tense, this division was also transferred to the front line, and there is only one security regiment at present.
The commander of the security regiment was in a hurry, and now all kinds of news were flying all over the sky, saying that the Japanese had occupied Kunshan, and that the troops in Shanghai had been completely annihilated. The head of the security regiment wanted to run for a long time, but there was a strict order from above, 133 came to take over, and he had to wait until 133 came, otherwise he would be severely punished.
Now that Yang Hanyu is here, the head of the security regiment hurriedly catches up, and Yang Hanyu asks as he walks: "How many troops are there in the city now?" How is the city defense arranged? Where are your troops? β
The head of the security regiment stammered that his security regiment was originally the garbage in the security team, it was completely made up, the battle was fierce, the soldiers were lost, and the slightly more capable soldiers in the regiment were all withdrawn, and now there was only an empty shelf left.
"City defense..., city defense ......" the head of the regiment stammered, city defense, there is no city defense at all, he didn't do anything, he just wanted to hand over the defense as soon as possible, and then leave.
Yang Hanyu looked at him, knew that he didn't do anything, and didn't care about him, and walked into the headquarters in a few steps, this headquarters was much stronger than the group army headquarters in Luodian, and the five large tiled houses were neatly arranged, but the room was empty, the tables were cleaned up, the maps on the wall were also taken off, and there were large and small boxes piled up in the courtyard.
"You can't leave yet," Yang Hanyu turned to him.
The regiment commander's face immediately darkened: "Sir, there are only more than 400 people in my regiment, and most of them are old, weak, sick and disabled, not to mention the equipment, not to mention the equipment, not even two machine guns, it's okay to look at the place in normal times, this is going to be a war..."
"You don't need to fight," Yang Hanyu immediately stopped him, he was a little irritable in his heart: "It's always okay to show the way!" β
Yang Hanyu's voice suddenly became louder, which startled the head of the regiment, and Yang Hanyu's eyes showed a fierce light: "Lao Tzu is from Sichuan, and he is not familiar with your door at all, this black light is blinding, how can you let me arm?" If you dare to shake the heart of the army again, Lao Tzu will kill you! β
The regiment commander shuddered and didn't dare to mention anything about leaving. The rout army passed through Taicang and retreated to the west overnight, the people in Taicang City had already run out, several fires broke out in the city, some rout soldiers looted shops, and then began to set fires, and the city suddenly became more chaotic.
