Jiang Zhongzheng did not know that when he was moving the idea of killing several birds with one stone in Xuzhou, the battle situation in Changshu was going on according to Wu Xiaoliang's expectations, and the armored brigade gave the exhausted Seventh Division the final fatal blow at Dongjiaqiao without any suspense.

After the armored brigade and the cavalry brigade swept through the Dongjiaqiao battlefield like a whirlwind, they went straight to Hejiabang like a storm, and the remnants of the seventh division were quickly divided and outflanked by the forces of the two divisions concentrated by the second army, and finally the whole army was destroyed, the division commander Hatsutaro Haraguchi was defeated and committed suicide, compared to the 14th division was much luckier, Matsuki Naoliang showed the armored troops outflanked by the flank, and immediately felt that it was not good, although he did not believe that the seventh division would be defeated so easily, but he also understood, He had no weapons to deal with the armored forces of the Chinese people, and he had to look up to the sky and sigh that the general trend had gone, and immediately left only one wing of the whole army, and the main force Ma Xun withdrew in the direction of Taicang, in order to make peace with the Fifth Division and avoid being surrounded by the superior Chinese troops.

Matsuki Naoliang's decisiveness saved his 14th Division, and also saved the Japanese army from the crisis in the entire Songhu battlefield, the surprise attack that should have been jointly launched by Wu Xiaoliang's Second Army and the 57th Division was disrupted by a joint operation of the three master regiments of Matsuki Naoliang, but it also achieved brilliant results, not to mention the total annihilation of the Seventh Division, but also squeezed the remaining two divisions together, and retreated in a corner of the northwest of Taicang County.

After that, the squadron of the Changshu defense line was transposed in attack and defense, Wu Xiaoliang seized the opportunity to immediately order the Second Army to advance on the whole line, putting on an aggressive posture, and in fact, the Second Army withstood the key attack of the 14th Division and the 7th Division, and almost reached the end of the strong crossbow, but in order to prevent the Japanese army from flowing to Zhejiang Province in the south and bringing greater damage, he forcibly ordered the exhausted Dongjiaqiao Division of the Second Army to break through to the east, blocking the way they must go south.

Due to the contraction of the Japanese front, the Japanese army on the battlefield was busy with a lot of work, Wu Xiaoliang specially sent a regiment of troops to reinforce the Wusong fortress that Sanhe was defending, and it was also at this time that the Japanese 24th Brigade captured the Wusong fortress defended by Zhang Zhizhong's Fifth Army The necessary place to go to the Wusong fortress, this regiment of men and horses can be said to have come at the right time, and the two sides immediately encountered unexpectedly and fought together.

At the same time, Zhang Zhizhong, located in the western suburbs of Shanghai, smelled the cheapness.

"Brother Fu Nan, Wu Weizhong fought back in Changshu, we should have cooperated with them to fight a counterattack, but it's a pity that the 24th Brigade of the Japanese Invaders is one step ahead of us, so we have to entangle with this 24th Brigade for a while."

Gu Shaozhou, chief of staff of the Fifth Army, greatly agreed with Zhang Zhizhong's opinion, but he had another strategy.

"The 24th Brigade of the Japanese invaders is stationed in Zhabei District, which was seized from us, and now he has divided his troops to attack the Wusongkou fortress, but we don't have to be led by the nose, we just need to attack it and save it, and its army will be in chaos."

However, Zhang Zhizhong still hesitated a little, he was worried that the brave and tenacious defenders who were defending Wusong Fortress, as long as the Japanese invaders of the 24th Brigade arrived, those men might not be able to resist even a round.

Gu Shaozhou seemed to see through Zhang Zhizhong's thoughts, so he continued: "Brother Wen Bai should focus on the overall situation, the kindness of a woman will only ruin the current great opportunity, don't hesitate any longer, make up your mind." ”

Zhang Zhizhong was silent for a while, he knew that what Gu Shaozhou said was true, the Fifth Army had suffered a lot of losses in several battles in Zhabei District, and if he divided his troops again, he was afraid that he would not be able to do it, so he walked to the front of the battle map, knocked twice with his hand on the place in Zhabei District, and finally made up his mind.

"Liangzhen's 88th Division is fully organized, and its combat strength has hardly been damaged, so this time they will be the main attack on Zhabei District."

Previously, in all the big and small battles, Zhang Zhizhong used his 87th Division as the main force, and the damage was quite severe, and the combat strength was not good, so this time he planned to send Yu Jishi's 88th Division, which was still complete in combat strength, as the main attack, also for the sake of this operation to be foolproof.

"Youping, you go back to the army immediately, although the 87th Division will not do the main attack this time, the task will not be easy." As he spoke, Zhang Zhizhong motioned to a tall officer beside him to look at the map, and then stretched out his hand to gesture over an area.

"Here and here, if the Ninth Division makes a move, it will inevitably take these routes, and your task is to do your best to block them."

Wang Jingjiu, deputy commander of the 87th Division, was ordered to stride forward.

Once the qiē is arranged, all that remains is to wait, making his heart like a fried wait.

It was also Zhang Zhizhong's good fortune, the Japanese wing that was sent to raid the Wusongkou fortress encountered an infantry regiment sent by Wu Xiaoliang on the way, so the Japanese wing commander immediately asked the brigade headquarters for reinforcements, and Major General Yamada of the 24th Brigade immediately sent a wing to reinforce, so that the Zhabei District was extremely empty, just at this time, Yu Jishi's 88th Division counterattacked, and the attack was unbelievable, in just one hour, Major General Yamada was driven into the Japanese concession with his command, When Kenkichi Ueda's 9th Division reacted, it was too late.

Looking at Major General Yamada who fled back from the wolf, the lieutenant general of the 6th Army felt a sense of powerlessness in his heart, since the life and death of General Shirakawa Yoshinori were unknown, he had a premonition that the military department would definitely look for a scapegoat in the troops stationed in Shanghai, and he was the most suitable one, therefore, Ueda Kenkichi had long lost the ambition when he first came to Shanghai, and only wanted to spend this last peaceful day without incident.

"Your Excellency Ueda, while Shina's foothold is not stable, now is the best time to attack, what are you still hesitating about......"

Rear Admiral Yamada was close to shouting, and he couldn't understand why Lieutenant General Ueda had become so depressed.

……

The 88th Division actually fought a good battle, and was invincible all the way, and quickly cleared the remnants of the Japanese army in Zhabei District, but Yu Jishi did not stop there, but sent Yang Bufei's 262nd Brigade north to relieve the siege of the brother defenders of Wusongkou.

Yu Jishi took the risk by doing this, first, the order of the military headquarters did not include going north to relieve the siege, and second, the Japanese army was still strong, if the ninth division counterattacked, he could not resist and withdrew from Zhabei, the responsibility for this defeat would be borne by him.

As early as half a month ago, during the battle of Wusong Fort, he disagreed with the order of the military headquarters not to allow reinforcements, and now his troops were finally put on the battlefield, so after achieving the set goal, he immediately sent troops to reinforce, and he bet that Ueda Kenkichi would not counterattack.

Yu's good fortune continued, because at the last moment when Ueda Kenkichi made up his mind to attack, an important figure arrived in Shanghai, forcing him to stop the attack.
