The short distance of 200 meters from 6 o'clock to the beachhead was full of Japanese troops in the charge, the firepower of the Chinese defenders was sparse, the heavy machine guns were all dumb, the smoke of artillery bombardment was mixed with the river fog, and the Japanese soldiers were making the final charge, they stepped on the corpses of their fallen companions with one foot deep and one shallow, and approached the Chinese defenders' positions little by little.

It was almost dusk, and the blood-red remnants of the sun combined with blood stained the entire beachhead red, and countless corpses were entangled, and it was impossible to distinguish which was Chinese and which was Japanese.

The head of the first battalion commander was wrapped in a thick circle of white gauze, the blood oozing from the wound was mixed with the dirt and dust, and his face was so smoked by artillery fire that he could not see his true color, and his eyes were surging with irrepressible anger...... An entire reinforced battalion was wiped out in a defensive battle of just one hour.

This situation made the battalion commander want to cry without tears, and the Japanese soldiers like locusts had already rushed up, and they rushed for an hour in just 200 meters, but the battalion commander felt that this short hour seemed to be longer than the first half of his life for more than 20 years.

The two soldiers closest to him supported each other, their tattered uniforms stained red and black, and they looked at the battalion commander expectantly, waiting for orders.

The commander of the first battalion raised the box cannon in his hand and shot "Dangdang" twice to kill the two devils who rushed to the front, and shouted at the only dozen or so soldiers left in the trench: "Avenge the dead compatriots, brothers rush with me." ”

The squad leader, who had been slow to move before, put the Mauser rifle that had already been inserted into his chest and jumped out of the trench first, and responded: "Let's fight with the devil and avenge the dead brothers......" The squad leader's words stopped abruptly after the word "revenge", and a stray bullet "poof" shot into his chest, as if the body that had been drained of strength in an instant slowly fell down, and the battalion commander saw that his eyes were cracked, picked up the big knife that had been carried behind him, and rushed to the tide of the Japanese army without hesitation. A dozen Chinese soldiers followed.

The first battalion of the Ninth Regiment was wiped out, and the commander of the first battalion saw that the first battalion had been holding the position for a whole hour and a squadron rushed down like a tsunami, and the reinforcements finally came up.

At the same time as the southern section of the shoal was attacked, the northern section of the shoal suffered an attack several times the intensity, and the Japanese army attacked the southern section at the beginning, giving Yu Sanhe the illusion that the southern section was their main direction of attack, but thanks to the northern section of the river fog has almost dissipated, a large number of Japanese troops ambushed in the northern section appeared in time to attack the west, so that the devil's plan to attack the west was not met.

Yu Sanhe almost sent all the elites of the Ninth Regiment one after another, relying on the advantage of the terrain, and in just one hour, the little devil left more than 2,000 corpses in front of the beach, but the call for help in the southern section was about to burst the call of the headquarters, he had no troops to adjust, and could only keep encouraging him to fight loyally and bravely, at the last moment, the former fortress defenders who were still the reserve took the initiative to ask for help, Yu Sanhe ordered them to reinforce the southern section, and it also staged a scene where the stone wall blocked the torrent before the battalion commander lost consciousness.

The reason why Yu Sanhe began to treat the soldiers under the former Deng Zhenquan as a reserve and not send them to the battlefield was because he was afraid that they would not have the will to fight and were sent in a hurry, which might not only not help, but would affect the entire battle situation.

However, every move of the first battalion was in Sanhe's eyes, which was a sharp knife in the elite of his ninth regiment, and his heart was dripping blood when he saw that it was burned out little by little.

……

At the Changshu front headquarters, snowflakes of battle reports were piled up on Wu Xiaoliang's desk, and in only half a day, the Japanese 14th Division advanced fifty miles westward, and had reached the edge of Changshu, and he could hear the faint sound of artillery in the headquarters.

Yang Xiaoou rushed into the house in a hurry, and saw that Wu Xiaoliang was still dealing with official documents, and hurriedly roared: "The Japanese advance has arrived in Changshu, I'm afraid it won't be able to hold it for long, it's no longer safe here, the commander has a heavy responsibility, and the overall situation should be the priority, please transfer to the rear." ”

Wu Xiaoliang put down his hand in Chinese, and just about to speak, the adjutant took a telegram and came out of the inner room, and in order to facilitate receiving news from all over the world, he specially set up the telegraph room in the bedroom where he should be resting.

"I received a telegram from Shanghai asking for help, it should be addressed to Master Li."

When Wu Xiaoliang heard the telegram about Shanghai, his heart tightened, and he urged: "Read." ”

"The Wusong fortress is really urgent, the Ninth Regiment has decided to defend it to the death, and the 6 Air Force and the Three Armies of the Japanese Sea are attacking, it is extremely critical, please send reinforcements...... Head of the regiment Yu Sanhe ......"

This news surprised him too much, if the Wusong fortress is still in the hands of China, then the Japanese army from Qiyakou 6 will fall into the embarrassing situation of a poor backroad, and in order to avoid this situation, the Japanese army will inevitably attack the Wusong fortress with all its might, so that a large number of Japanese troops can be contained, and the pressure of Zhang Zhizhong's Fifth Army may be reduced a lot, and even the battlefield in this area of Changshu will not be in the worst direction.

Yang Xiaoou sighed again and again, "It's a pity that Brother Qianting has been entangled by the Seventh Division of Little Japan, Zhang Wenbai will not send troops to rescue him, I'm afraid that the head of the regiment will be more auspicious." ”

Wu Xiaoliang also sighed heavily in his chest, Yang Xiaoou was right, it is reported that the 13th Division of the Japanese Army has arrived in Shanghai, with the previous 9th Division and the 24th Brigade, the Japanese army in Shanghai has exceeded 60,000 people, Zhang Zhizhong's Fifth Army is also difficult to protect itself in front of it, of course, there is no spare strength to divide the troops, but how long can he hold out a regiment.

Thinking of this, Wu Xiaoliang only felt that his heart was like a knife, these are hot-blooded men who are bent on fighting devils, watching them step into the ghost gate little by little but unable to do anything, there is nothing more torturous than this.

There was a terrible silence in the headquarters, and a medium-sized colonel officer rushed in with a roar like Yang Xiaoou had done before.

"The Japanese advance has broken through to Hejiabang, Changshu is no longer safe, please ask the commander to withdraw to Jiangyin with me immediately."

The person who came was Song Xilian of the Central Military Academy Teaching Corps, Song Xilian's teaching regiment was defeated, and after collecting the remnants in Taicang, he was transferred to Changshu to rest, and with the support of Wu Xiaoliang, the supplementary troops of the original Nanjing Garrison Command were given priority to him. I had to move to the rear first and wait for the opportunity.
