Chapter 448: Wusong Fortress (12)
Song Xilian was very fond of Wu Xiaoliang because in the chaotic era of the Republic of China, where strength was supreme, everyone was desperately trying to expand their strength, but he did the opposite, not only did not rush to replenish his lineage, but gave priority to the transfer of supplementary troops to him, the lineage of the Central Army.
Seeing that Wu Xiaoliang didn't seem to be in a hurry to transfer, he couldn't help but be anxious for a while, and his tone suddenly rose.
"Commander, Changshu can't hold it, the Second Army is not your 57th Division, I came all the way to He Jiabang, all the way are defeated soldiers who broke away from the formation and dispersed, the war has been completely eroded, if you don't leave, let the headquarters personally resist it."
Although Yang Xiaoou, the commander of the Second Army, was also on the spot, Song Xilian still counted down mercilessly, as the proud son of the Central Army, he didn't take Yang Xiaoou, a general from the miscellaneous army, in his eyes at all.
Wu Xiaoliang was shocked for a while, the Second Army was indeed inferior to the 57th Division in terms of combat effectiveness, but since he voted for him, he has also fought several tough battles with the 57th Division, and his appearance is quite good, how can he be so neatly defeated this time, he looked at Yang Xiaoou, the commander of the Second Army.
When he saw Yang Xiaoou, his face was red, his head was lowered slightly, and his eyes did not dare to make contact with him, Wu Xiaoliang's heart was cold when he saw this, the war was out of control under his nose, and by the time he understood the truth, it had been irretrievably eroded.
Yang Xiaoou secretly glanced at Wu Xiaoliang a few times, only to see that his originally slightly relaxed face had become gloomy and terrifying, and without saying a word, it actually made him feel restless, he gritted his teeth and prepared to bear the thunderous anger of this young commander, who knew that after waiting for a long time, he didn't see the anger coming out, and he couldn't help but look at Wu Xiaoliang strangely.
But he heard Wu Xiaoliang say slowly: "Brother Yiru, you tell me the truth, how many troops are left in the second army that can fight." ā
Yang Xiaoou's old face was red again, he had patted his chest and assured Wu Xiaoliang that as long as he Yang Xiaoou was in his second army, the Japanese would not want to advance half a step on the Changshu defense line, but who would have thought that the combat effectiveness of the Japanese army was by no means comparable to that of the domestic warlords, and it was bloodthirsty and strong to fight, and the elite independent brigade of his second army was driven to Hejiabang like a duck from the Jinlang formation, and the follow-up army encountered along the way also joined the rout camp after hearing the news of the rout of the independent brigade. For a while, the fear of war quickly spread like a plague to every unit that came into contact along the road.
It wasn't until they fled to Hejiabang that they met the Central Military Academy Teaching Regiment that was resting and recuperating, and the teaching regiment heard that the Japanese army had advanced to the Ten Axioms, and immediately entered a state of combat readiness, and officially engaged the Japanese army half an hour later, which stopped the Japanese army from continuing to advance, and it was also an independent brigade that still had a little self-esteem, and felt that it was too embarrassing to be driven away like a duck all the way, and what was even more ironic was that the day before yesterday they passed by here and laughed at this group of Central Army routs who were almost completely annihilated as "soft eggs", but today they who claim to be elite soldiers and strong generals actually rely on "soft eggs" It's a shame to come and cover up.
So, the independent brigade reflexively joined the battle, because the Japanese army advanced rapidly, the lone army went deep, for fear of encountering an ambush and did not dare to fight for a long time, so after fighting for a while, Song Xilian immediately decided to inform Wu Xiaoliang of the current critical situation, Jian yƬ he transferred the headquarters this morning.
Song Xilian hurriedly roared to the headquarters and saw that Yang Xiaoou was also there, so he didn't accuse him face-to-face and was defeated without a fight, and he already took care of his face.
Wu Xiaoliang knew that retreat was the safest way, but he couldn't retreat, where to retreat, Jiangyin or Wuxi, not to mention that after retreating, he went to the people's defense line, whether the First Army had the courage to fight with the Japanese army, he didn't speculate much, it was his own almost intact Second Army, which did not let go of a shot and a bullet and slapped his ass and left, which also made the people laugh, and maybe he would be nicknamed a long-legged general in the future.
Therefore, even if you retreat, you have to give the Japanese some color to see, so Wu Xiaoliang called the adjutant.
"Immediately send a telegram to the 57th Division, ordering it to attack from Kunshan, and use Baimao Town to contain the flank of the 14th Regiment, and cooperate with the defenders of Hejiabang to delay the Japanese offensive against Changshu."
Then he turned his head to Song Xilian and Yang Xiaoou, who were stunned, and said, "I'm not going anywhere, I'm sitting in Changshu." After a pause, he said to Yang Xiaoou: "Brother Yiru's main forces of the second army are all in Changshu, you immediately go to organize the elite to set up two echelons, the first echelon to reinforce He Jiabang, be sure to delay the Japanese army for three days, and the second echelon will be fortified in Changshu City, and you must be ready to fight street battles." ā
ā¦ā¦
The fog on the Wusongkou River came at night, the thicker it became, and a few searchlights on the battery shot at the river surface and it was not clear to see the deployment of the Japanese troops, although the Japanese attack was still ongoing, but at night the planes could not take off, so the pressure in the fortress was still reduced a lot.
The Japanese naval guns that had been silent for half an hour resounded over Wusongkou again, and the Wusong fortress once again fell into the indiscriminate bombardment, Yu Sanhe nervously planned the end of the artillery bombardment, the troops used for defense and equipment, all said that it was difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice, he is now facing this embarrassing situation, Yu Sanhe is eager to break a person in half at this moment, the middle position of the north and south forts has been dangerous, and the fortifications have been repaired intermittently for nearly a hundred years, so if the Japanese army wants to land 6 here, it will have to pay a heavy price.
Therefore, the two shoals in the north and south, although the front was narrow, were the only suitable places to ascend the 6, and in order to meet the Japanese attack after the shelling stopped, he had all the light and heavy machine guns of the regimental headquarters sent to the river beach position.
But after the shelling ended, the Japanese troops on the left did not come, and the Japanese troops on the right did not come, just when they were a little relaxed, the naval guns once again spewed dazzling orange flames, and the four-inch high-explosive shells had already blown the fortress into ruins, and now it was only scrapped and wasted.
Half an hour later, the Japanese army stopped shelling, but the result was still not waiting for the 6th unit to come, everyone studied for a while, tonight's repeated shelling may be just a harassment plan of the Japanese army, in fact, there will be no more bombardment, after all, the risk of rushing to the beach at night to climb the 6th is several times that of the day.
After several repetitions, someone couldn't help but scold:
"Little Japan is too lacking in virtue, this night has made us tired, and they will be able to pick up cheap tomorrow..."
"Li Laosi, you can stop, I see that the shelling just now didn't delay your sleep, and the snoring sounded earth-shattering."
Inside the bunker, everyone burst into laughter.
Suddenly, the phone rang.
Yu Sanhe grabbed the phone and listened to a happy voice on the phone.
"The commander of the first battalion is awake, the commander of the first battalion is awake......"
At the same time, the Japanese naval guns rumbled again......
