Chapter 445: Wusong Fortress (9)
When Wu Xiaoliang rushed to the front line in Changshu, but saw that the ** was defeated, the reinforcements of the 57th Division were still a step late after all, but they finally saved the Song Xilian Teaching Regiment who was deeply encircled and ready to die with the enemy.
Li Zejun did not lead his troops to Changshu to meet with the vanguard of the Second Army led by Wu Xiaoliang, but stayed in the Taicang area to guard against the rear of the 6th Japanese army to sneak attack the Shanghai defenders, Song Xilian after a short meeting with the 57th Division, and then took the remnants of less than 100 people to the Changshu defense line, the young colonel commander always held his breath, where he fell, he had to get up, the Shanghai defense line has a clear 57th Division and Zhang Wenbai's Fifth Army, he Song Xilian went to even be incorporated.
After arriving in Changshu, Song Xilian did not expect that this place had been taken over by the Second Army, and the newly appointed commander of the Beijing-Shanghai garrison was here, according to the regulations of the Military Commission, all troops in this theater should be under the command of the garrison commander, so he was ready to meet the new commander of the garrison, but he did not rush forward, but inquired in advance to find out that this person was actually a small warlord rising in Shandong, neither Yan Feng's people, nor the descendants of the Central Army, If you have to talk about the distance of your background, this person is from Beiyang, how to give the important post of commander of the Beijing-Shanghai garrison to an outsider who doesn't know the roots.
Song Xilian also knew that he was just a colonel and a general of the defeated army, and this garrison commander from a side line may not be able to take a straight look at himself, in fact, in Changshu these days, he has indeed been treated quite coldly, far less than the heroic treatment given to him and his subordinates by the 57th Division.
It's no wonder that the Second Army didn't see how tragic Song Xilian's teaching group fought with the Japanese army, so it was treated as an ordinary rout, but this seemed to Song Xilian to be embarrassing to him intentionally or unintentionally, so he strongly advocated that he wanted to see Wu Xiaoliang also had the idea of seeking justice for his subordinates, and he was even ready to be harassed or punished, but as the descendant of the Central Army, the temper of the arrogant soldier and fierce general came up, and he had to hit it headlong even if it was a nail mountain in front of him.
However, what Song Xilian never expected was that Wu Xiaoliang not only met him happily, but also did not have a word of reproach, but was more courteous than Li Zejun, which made him feel flattered.
"Brother Yinguo is loyal and brave to kill, and Xiaoliang admires it."
What Song Xilian didn't expect was that this Admiral Wu looked less than thirty years old, and he was only twenty-seven or eighteen years old, which was not much older than himself.
"The commander is wrong, Xi Lian is embarrassed, failed to prevent the Japanese army from ascending 6, and defeated the elite of the party-state, he is really a person who treats crimes......" His gaze was rarely more dim, but then it became brilliant again.
Wu Xiaoliang waved his hand to interrupt his self-esteem, for Song Xilian, he could be regarded as a long-term name in his previous life, the eagle dog general was domineering, and leading troops to fight devils was also famous, so when she heard Song Xilian ask to see him, she agreed without thinking about it.
"The loss of Qiyakou is not the fault of Brother Yinguo, and it is not a defeat to shake a whole division of the Japanese army with a regiment, and drag it for half a day, not only is it not a defeat, but a great victory, and this battle has won precious time for our army to organize a defensive line in Changshu and Taicang."
Song Xilian's chest was full of blood, after so many days, someone could finally understand his state of mind, seeing that this young Admiral Wu's eyes were clear, not like a void and a snake, every sentence came from the bottom of his heart, and he was inexplicably moved, but then deep worry once again filled the entire chest.
"The Japanese army Deng 6 unit is extremely fierce, the reason why the teaching regiment was able to hold them for half a day is because it is difficult to develop a formation in the Deng 6 operation, and it takes a big advantage, once the Japanese army concentrates its forces to charge, our army may not be able to withstand it, and when it is at Qiyakou, the entire river is full of Japanese Deng 6 ships, I am afraid that the Japanese want to fight a larger war."
Although the Second Army has always been brave, he has not been very optimistic about the combat effectiveness of these Jin army-based troops, and if the Japanese army concentrates its forces to attack the Changshu defense line, he may not be able to hold it.
"If Changshu is lost, I'm afraid that Shanghai will be in danger."
While the two were worried about the situation, the Wusong Fortress in Shanghai, hundreds of miles away, was facing an even greater crisis.
After the enemy ship Myoko was crippled and incapacitated, the balance of victory finally began to tilt in favor of the Chinese defenders, and the north battery was free to shell the Japanese ship Izumo that was attacking on the right side of the fortress with the south battery.
At the critical moment, the Japanese reinforcements arrived, the Notoro aircraft-carrying ship and the Hirado cruiser came together, three seaplanes took off and began to bombard the battery, the Chinese defenders in the fortress could use artillery to hit the enemy ships in the distance, but because they were not equipped with anti-aircraft guns, they could not do anything about the Japanese planes that flew repeatedly in the sky, fortunately, the seaplane bomb load was not large, and every time they returned to the mothership to load, it was quite time-consuming to take off again, if they could carry out continuous bombing, I am afraid that the entire fortress could be reduced to ruins without the Navy and the 6th Army.
At the same time, the naval guns of the Hirado also spit out red flames, and the sound of violent explosions resounded one after another, resounding throughout Wusongkou, commanding the bunker, Yu Sanhe was in a heavy mood, an improvised encounter, fighting like this, although it was already commendable, but he had already truly felt the determination of the Japanese army to win the Chinese defenders at this time, and this moment may only be the beginning of this battle.
"The two eight-inch guns of the South Battery were blown up, and the Japanese ship's firepower covered all the South Battery."
Yu Sanhe sneered, the Japanese army is the same as him before, planning to concentrate all their firepower to solve the south fort first, and then knock out the north fort, I want to get it is very beautiful, but I want to ask me if Yu Sanhe agrees.
But the bad news came one after another, "It's not good, there is another Japanese warship on the river, and it is very big and ......."
Inside the bunker, people suddenly panicked, and the sound of buzzing and discussion was like a fly, Yu Sanhe angrily reprimanded: "What a panic, even if the fort is all abandoned, their iron lumps are fierce in the sea, and it is not so easy to break into the fortress......"
Before the words could be spoken, the heralds of the Ninth Regiment ran in from outside in a panic.
"Oh no, ...... Tuanza"
