Section 3 Fierce Soldiers in Shanghai XII

Youlan had an idea and decided to change the goal of this visit, so she interviewed this girl with a strong heart. The current Mei Youlan is not the little girl who didn't understand anything when she got off the boat and ran directly to Nanjing, and she didn't understand the clichΓ©s at first. Lin Yueying didn't know Mei Youlan's thoughts, Mei Youlan was the first female reporter she had ever seen who ran to the battlefield, and she admired it very much, and at the same time wanted to appeal to the society through Mei Youlan, donate some medicines and medical equipment and call for more volunteers to come here, there are too many wounded, there are not enough doctors, and medicine bandages are consumed very quickly. I told the truth 1510.

When Song Xi returned to the headquarters, he found that the atmosphere in the headquarters was a little tense, and the chief of staff, Xiang Xianju, greeted him, and said when he met: "Division commander, the headquarters has informed the Japanese army to launch a strong attack on Luodian and Dachang, and the front commander ordered us to retreat across the Suzhou Creek after 12 o'clock tonight and defend the west bank of the Suzhou Creek. ”

"Luodian, Dachang." Song Xi muttered twice, Luodian had the 14th and 57th divisions, and Dachang had the 11th and 67th divisions, but the 57th and 11th divisions had been in the battle for a long time, and with the advantage of the Japanese army's artillery fire, it was estimated that the losses were not small.

"Where are their troops? Is it another increase in troops? The 3rd Division and the 11th Division, which were reinforced in the early stage, were forced to divide their troops twice to reinforce the urban area due to the unfavorable situation in the urban area, and they were a little unable to expand the landing field, and without new reinforcements, Matsui Shigen would never launch an attack.

"Division Commander Gao Ming," Xiang Chuanju patted Song Xi lightly: "The Ninth Division." ”

"That's right, get ready to retreat." Song Xi breathed a sigh of relief and said: "First send someone to send the wounded away, and then send someone to find Division Commander Wang, he is in the ambulance team, please come back immediately, call the commanders of each regiment as well, and we will discuss the order of retreat." ”

The staff officers and guards of the division headquarters began to clean up, Song Xi frowned slightly, and shouted very unhappily: "Whatever the panic is, what it looks like, stop, everything is as usual, and we will clean it up after the meeting." ”

Xiang Xianju hurriedly waved his hand to let everyone disperse, in fact, he gave the order to pack up things.

Although Song Xi also hoped that he would not be so hard-topped, but the retreat was approaching, it was to give up, and in ten days, more than 4,000 soldiers of the 36th Division had thrown their lives here, and he felt really uncomfortable walking like this.

"Strategically speaking, retreating to Suzhou Creek is the right choice." Xiang Chuanju tried to comfort Song Xi.

"I know that relying on Suzhou Creek to consume the living force of the Japanese army, I also proposed this proposal to Chief Zhang." Song Xi was a little irritable, he took two steps back and forth: "However, after fighting for more than ten days and more than 4,000 brothers, in the end, there is only a retreat, damn!" ”

"Division commander. You're not in the right mood. "It's not good to pass the moment to the moment. But he was the chief of staff. He is the main assistant to the division commander. reminded Song Xidi of his responsibility: "You want to let the people below see it." What will happen to them. ”

"Don't worry. I know what to do," Song Xi's face sank like water. A long sigh.

All night. The squadron and ground positions are all busy moving. Hasegawa Kiyoshi soon noticed an anomaly on the other side. But he didn't expect that the squadron on the opposite side would retreat. In the past ten days. The strength of the squadron made him feel deeply. He judged that the squadron would attack tomorrow. So be careful at the front of the rush. Prevent the squadron from night raids. In this way, the Japanese army waited nervously all night. It was only at dawn that the squadron retreated to the west bank of Suzhou Creek.

Kiyoshi Hasegawa, who received the report, was in good spirits. He immediately realized that the squadron was probably exhausted. Hurriedly reported the situation to Matsui Ishone. At the same time, report your own judgment. It is required to continue to send troops to the urban area. Killed the Suzhou Creek and completely defeated the squadron.

Matsui rejected his request. After receiving a report that the Chinese defenders in the urban area had withdrawn to Suzhou; Matsui Ishine is keenly aware. The squadron had discovered the arrival of the Ninth Division. While shrinking the frontal defensive line, the flank defensive line must have been strengthened. He regretted that he should not have sent the Ninth Division to attack yesterday.

"Eight squares. Chen Cheng is worthy of being China's first-rate military expert. The action is so fast. Matsui muttered unspeakably whether he was appreciative or cursed. He felt that this move by the squadron would add to the difficulties of the next move he was planning.

The arrival of the Ninth Division provided troop support for the offensive on the south bank of the Yangtze River that he had planned for a long time, and Hasegawa Kiyoshi asked for reinforcements in the urban area, which was a short-sighted move, fighting from the urban area to the west, at most it was just a flat push of the battle line, and it was impossible to annihilate the main force of the squadron in Shanghai; Moreover, Shanghai is an international city, and all countries have interests in Shanghai, and the complete destruction of Shanghai will inevitably cause a reaction from all countries, and if the Nanjing government is thus intervened to increase its confidence, the war will inevitably drag on, which will have a far-reaching impact on the empire.

"Commander," Matsui looked up, and it was Takeuchi, an intelligence staff officer, who came in, holding a telegram in his hand, and Matsui said calmly, "What's the news from the Mei Agency?" ”

"It is reported that the First Army of the China Army has arrived at the Songhu battlefield, and its commander Hu Zongnan, as well as the 21st Group Army transferred from Guangdong, will arrive in Nanjing in five days."

"The Nanjing government is continuing to increase its troops," Chief of Staff Mamoru Iizawa, he was a little worried, the landing ground is not large, and there are not many troops that can accommodate it, but to expand the landing field, two points must be taken, Luodian and Yunzaobabin, and the landing ground must be connected again, but this must also be invested.

"The more you come, the better

Let's get a taste of the power of the Iron Fist of the Great Japanese Empire. Matsui Ishine immediately felt T's concern: "Iizawa-kun, the Chinese chose to fight a decisive battle with us on the seaside, this is a stupid decision, the artillery fire of the Great Japanese Fleet will kill and wound these stupid people in large numbers, there is nothing to say, strengthen the offensive, let the 9th Division take over the 11th Division, the 11th Division will be transferred to Wusong, merge with the 3rd Division, telegraph to General Nagano, ask him to strengthen the artillery cover on the Luodian side, and our breakthrough point is still in Luodian." ”

Matsui did not withdraw the 11th Division of Luodian, but reinforced the 6th Infantry Brigade of the 9th Division to the Luodian battlefield, and the brigade commander Akiyama took over the command of the battlefield; Nagano, the commander of the Combined Fleet in Shanghai, sent six additional warships to Luodian to increase the artillery fire.

The 6th Brigade was newly arrived and was in full swing, and as soon as Akiyama arrived on the battlefield, he launched an attack on the defenders of Luodian under the cover of naval artillery fire. The focus of the Shanghai battlefield began to shift to Luodian, and the Chinese defenders moved to total defense.

Mei Youlan put down her pen, got up from her chair, pushed open the window, stretched, and took a deep breath, with a hint of sulfur in the air, and the sound of cannons could be heard in the distance.

Last night's interview in the ambulance team was not over, a large number of soldiers rushed to help evacuate the wounded, Lin Yueying immediately began to get busy, learned from the soldiers' mouths that the defenders of the whole line retreated to the west bank of Suzhou Creek, she immediately rushed to the 36th Division headquarters, and saw that the division headquarters was very busy, Song Xi and Wang Jingjiu both refused to be interviewed, seeing their busy appearance, she had nothing to say, but she was very unconvinced, she didn't know why she wanted to retreat, she returned to the hotel and started to write a crusade, and she didn't even write Lin Yueying's interview article.

After writing and venting, Mei Youlan felt a little comfortable in her heart, she looked at the direction where the cannon sound came from, and scolded indignantly in her heart: "A group of cowards, it would be nice if the eldest brother was here." ”

When she thought of Zhuang Jihua, Mei Youlan couldn't help but feel worried, there had been no news of him for a long time, what was he doing now? After being worried, there was a knock at the door, she opened the door, and Lian Xiaosen and her assistant Xin Ruimin came in from outside the door.

"Editor-in-chief, I heard that Luodian is fighting fiercely now, do you want to go?" Xin Ruimin reported the news he heard to Mei Youlan when he entered the door, and after he finished speaking, he turned to the side, but he still felt a murderous gaze from his side, and he shrugged his shoulders slightly, indicating that he didn't care.

Lian Xiaosen was very angry, and just now he told him outside the door not to let Mei Youlan go to a dangerous place, and not to say anything about Luodian, although Xin Ruimin did not agree, but he did not object.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the door, Xin Ruimin reported to Mei Youlan. Lian Xiaosen said with anger: "Miss Mei, you can't go to Luodian, Luodian is fighting too fiercely, it is said that the whole town has been destroyed by artillery fire, and the casualties above are very large, I will never agree with you to go there." ”

"Go, go, I'll get your turn to talk, every time." Probably Lian Xiaosen said too much, Mei Youlan was a little impatient, but she really had no plans to go out today, at least not during the day, and no one would be interviewed at all.

"Editor-in-chief, I want to go, go and take a few photos, but Ruimin asked Mei Youlan.

"Now, isn't there a fierce fight over there?" Mei Youlan looked at him and said that this young man was something she appreciated more, and he only joined the newspaper last year, and he quickly stood out, both in words and courage.

"It's because of the fierce fighting that I go, and whoever goes if there is no taste." Xin Ruimin said nonchalantly that when he joined the newspaper, he was not very interested in Mei Youlan, although he respected it on his face, he was not convinced in his heart, Mei Youlan's conditions were too good, he wanted money and money, he wanted to have power, and there was a string of inside information, and the newspaper couldn't think of being underdeveloped, but this time from Beiping to Shanghai, he really knew Mei Youlan, among the women he came into contact with, there was Mei Youlan who was so bold, and he really hadn't seen it, so he was convinced.

"Then you be careful, don't go near the front line, there is a war going on, and if you go, it will not only be dangerous, but it will also delay the army's business." Mei Youlan thought about it and felt that as long as she didn't get close to the front line, there would be no problem, so she nodded and agreed.

Xin Ruimin turned around happily and left, and Lian Xiaosen grabbed him: "Ruimin, you kid is crazy, the old birthday star hanged himself, and he wants to die." ”

"Brother Lian, it's okay, don't worry, the little brother is just taking a few photos." Xin Ruimin smiled slightly, and then whispered in his ear: "If I don't go, I'm afraid the editor-in-chief will have to go, if I go, she won't have to take risks, don't you know her." ”

Lian Xiaosen's hand was released at once, Xin Ruimin's words were right, Mei Youlan just said that she would not go, it does not mean that she will not go tomorrow, as long as it becomes a hot spot, Mei Youlan will almost definitely go; But if Xin Ruimin goes, she may not go, because there are still many places to report.

After Xin Ruimin left, Mei Youlan didn't want to sleep anymore, so she took Lian Xiaosen to the cafΓ© outside the hotel to drink coffee. I asked for two pieces of bread in the cafΓ©, and just after eating two bites, Lian Xiaosen suddenly found a familiar figure walking by outside the window, and he hurriedly said to Mei Youlan: "Look, is that Wang Xiaoshan?" ”

"Impossible, he should be in Chongqing at this time, Miss Li is dazzled." Mei Youlan didn't look back at all, but ridiculed Lian Xiaosen.
