The atmosphere in the office instantly became extremely tense, and now that he only has more than 100,000 troops, it will be a little difficult for the Huaxia army to resist, if there are another 100,000 reinforcements, the situation will instantly turn to the Yue army.

"Commission, the only way now is to order all the defenders of Shanghai to retreat to the area of the Wufu Line, reorganize the defense there, and rely on the defense fortifications that we take into account to resist the Yue army, once the landing of the 10th Army is completed, it will form a north-south flank attack, and if you are not careful, the entire Shanghai garrison will be annihilated." Bai Chongxi, who had not spoken, finally spoke.

Retreat and retreat, the advice of these staff officers is to retreat, once retreated, even if the Western powers participate in mediation, Shanghai will fall into the hands of Yu himself, and Shanghai cannot be lost, even if it is ruled by dividing the river.

"No, let the soldiers hold on for a few more days, the League of Nations has agreed to discuss our problems at this meeting, we will stand in Shanghai, let the League of Nations take a good look at our determination to resist the invasion of foreign enemies." Chiang Kai-shek thought for a while and then spoke.

In a few days, the army could not wipe out hundreds of thousands of Chinese defenders, and when the time came, after the League of Nations held a meeting and discussed the issue of China, the troops in Shanghai could also be withdrawn, and perhaps with the help of the power of the League of Nations, they could carry out a counteroffensive against Yueben and drive the Yueben army back to Yueben in one fell swoop.

In the next few days, Su Dao continued to strengthen the training of the soldiers, so that those veterans who had not yet integrated into the army could integrate into the army as soon as possible, and at the same time, he was also constantly attracting some other stragglers, some of whom were scattered in the field, and some of them were walking in the direction of Nanjing, and some were local defenders and so on.

But those who are willing to resist and follow Su Dao are all pulled into the Reading Brigade by Su Dao, these soldiers who came down from the battlefield, there is no major problem with combat skills or anything for the time being, and Su Dao's only concern is the problem of discipline.

The soldiers of the original Reading Brigade all understood that everyone was abiding by these orders, and in desperation, Su Dao finally had to set up a company of military police, which was responsible for supervising the discipline of the soldiers of the whole brigade in peacetime, etc., and also had to fight on the battlefield in wartime.

After several days of digging the wall and pulling people, Su Dao's Reading Brigade Yanran has become a behemoth with more than 13,000 people, and Su Dao, who is equipped with individual soldiers, has everything from rifles to machine guns, if these more than 13,000 people are trained soldiers, Su Dao is sure to resist no less than 50,000 troops, but now, resisting 30,000 troops is a little uncertain.

The Reading Brigade can be described as a strong soldier, the only deficiency is the artillery, due to the lack of vehicles and other means of transportation, plus Su Dao's heart secretly hit Xiao Jiujiu, so it did not engage in those large-caliber artillery, but only increased the number of mortars. After all, mortars are easy to move, and they can be quickly transferred when fighting. Now the mortars of the Reading Brigade have reached the point of equipping one per platoon.

At two or three o'clock in the morning of 9 November, different numbers of Chinese troops began to appear on the front line, some of them were wounded, they were holding each other in twos and threes, and some of them were running quickly. From the time of the appearance of the first Chinese soldiers, all the soldiers of the Reading Brigade had already entered the position and were ready for battle.

By the morning of the ninth day, more and more Chinese soldiers appeared, and later even the whole unit was withdrawn from the front, but only a few, most of the others were incomplete, and many soldiers could not even find their own company commanders or platoon commanders, so they could only follow the large troops.

And Su Dao also started a small Jiujiu, and began to let the soldiers on the side of the road to constantly attract those soldiers who were willing to stay to resist to join the Reading Brigade, and others who were unwilling to stay advised them to go all the way to the west, to Nanjing to find their troops, and then organize a defensive line, which would be guarded by them, and when they left, they only needed to worry about the planes in the air, and they didn't have to worry about the army behind them to catch up.

Although many of the soldiers were physically and mentally exhausted, they lost battles all the way, which made their morale suffer a lot, and also made many soldiers begin to be disheartened, and some of them felt like they were broken. However, there were still many soldiers with a bloody body, and even some wounded soldiers volunteered to stay behind to help the Reading Brigade fight the enemy.

In the end, Su Dao still left those veterans who were not injured, and as for the injured, they were issued a certificate by the Reading Brigade Brigade, and asked them to take this certificate to the Reading Brigade Hospital in Wuxi for treatment, and after the injury was healed, they joined the Reading Brigade.

It's just that in less than half a day, the strength of the Reading Brigade has rapidly swelled to 15,000 people, and there is even the possibility of continuing to increase, and Su Dao is also receiving it, and Su Dao's idea is that since he is still willing to stay and fight the enemy at this time, his character will definitely not be very bad, and those selfish people have already run to the back, so Su Dao is not polite at all.

At this time, the fighters of the Yue army gradually appeared in the air, constantly strafing the retreating Chinese defenders on the ground. A Chinese soldier fell in blood and could no longer stand up.

In the end, Su Dao was furious and ordered the air defense regiment to enter the guard, and once the air force was discovered, it would be shot down immediately. The current air defense regiment can be called a real air defense regiment, the air defense regiment is the same as the army, it is a four-four system, each platoon has three air defense squads, and an infantry squad is composed, that is to say, a platoon has three anti-aircraft guns, and a regiment has a full eighty-one 40-mm Bofors anti-aircraft guns.

The firepower network composed of these 81 anti-aircraft guns alone was enough to give the army a headache. Sure enough, with the participation of the air defense regiment in the war, the air force of the Yue army seems to have converged a lot, and it is not as arrogant as before, but the problem follows, everyone knows that there is an air defense regiment here in the Reading Brigade, and there is no air raid by the Yue Army.

Gradually, a group of soldiers dressed in khaki clothes finally appeared in front of everyone, and after seeing that there were such complete fortifications here, the pace of the army's advance seemed to stop. But Su Dao understood that the army was planning to shell, the artillery rushed after the infantry, the infantry rushed after the artillery, and the law of the infantry battle of the army was probably unknown to no one in the whole world.

It's just that Su Dao doesn't know what caliber of artillery they are facing next, the air defense regiment has all moved their positions, once there is a leak, it will no longer be safe, and the artillery fire of the next army will definitely take care of those positions, Su Dao ordered the soldiers to hide in the fortifications, and secretly prayed that the artillery fire of the army would not be that large-caliber.

ps: Originally, I didn't want to say it here, but now I find that I have to say, we have fallen to the last place on the homepage signing new book list, and we are about to fall out of the list, are we so appointed? The Ranger is here to implore everyone to use their strength to prove that we are invincible, at least we want to stay on the list, and the Ranger is here to thank you.
