The reaction of the Japanese army was not unpleasant, and the follow-up counterattack followed! However, the troops killed together offset the heavy firepower advantage of the Japanese army, but the 201st Brigade was heavily deployed Thomson, barge guns, etc., which occupied a great advantage in close combat!

Because of this, the Japanese army couldn't control the situation for a while! watched Cai Bingyan take the 201st Brigade to rush left and right, and then entered the main position in three or two clicks!

The "Da ......" machine guns were sweeping, and the Japanese troops who were charging with bayonets in accordance with the tactical regulations highlighted their disadvantage at this moment - insufficient firepower in close combat!

The current formation and firepower of the Japanese army are: 8 single-shot rifles and 1 light machine gun per squad. The reinforced class is equipped with a grenadier one. The squad is three infantry squads plus one grenadier squad with three grenadiers.

The squadron did not change much, except that the number of guns of the same model increased and the field health officers were staffed. When it came to the brigade, the Japanese army specially organized a heavy machine gun squadron with 8~12 heavy machine guns as fire support.

At the same time, the brigade is equipped with 1~2 Type 92 infantry guns! And armed with 2 20mm anti-tank guns! Of course, the 20mm anti-tank gun is the configuration of the top A divisional regiments.

When it came to the wing, the firepower of the Japanese army was much stronger than that of Nanjing! An artillery brigade with two squadrons of 4 guns each. The wing is an anti-tank squadron, and each of the 3 anti-tank artillery squads has two 37mm anti-tank guns!

The 11th Division is one of the few standing Class A divisions in the Japanese Army! And against the 201st Brigade, it was the 10th Infantry Brigade Infantry Wing Commander of the 12th Infantry Wing belonging to the 11th Division, Anda Twenty-three Zuo!

"Damn it! Why did these dolphins come over at this time?! Bastard! Bastard!! The commander of the 12th Wing, Anda Twenty-three Zuo Tie, blushed, looked at the soldiers of the 201st Brigade who rushed to the position and scolded angrily.

Now that the soldiers on both sides are all killed, there is no way to get the navy's heavy artillery or fighter jets to do fire support. It can only be constantly sent up to try to resist the attack of the 201st Brigade.

But obviously, such an approach is not very useful. Poor melee fire support led to the Japanese army's gradual defeat in the battle with the 201st Brigade to seize the position.

Therefore, the constant scolding of the 23rd Brigade, the commander of the wing, still did not stop the attack of the 201st Brigade.

"Kill the enemy!!" In the rear of the 201st Brigade, Peng Shan roared angrily and led the 11th Division under his command to kill the position with a roar! This became the last straw that crushed the Japanese army.

Seeing that he had fallen behind, Wing Commander Anda 23 could only order the troops to withdraw in the end. Gave way to the Luodian position.

Snatch it back! Everyone burst into cheers!

Cai Bingyan covered the eye-catching on his chest and kept coughing up blood. Peng Shan walked up to him and watched the old classmate fall silent. After a while, he said softly: "If there is anything else to explain, I will try to help ......"

The blood foam at the corner of Cai Bingyan's mouth had already gushed out. He grabbed Peng Shan's sleeve and seemed to want to say something. But in the end, nothing was said, and the eyes lost their brightness......

In the battle, the 201st Brigade of the 8th Army and the 2 wings of the 11th Division of the Japanese Army fought for 2 days, and the brigade was fully composed of nearly 5,000 people, and less than 200 people survived. Major General Brigade Commander Cai Bingyan, died in battle. Japanese casualties, more than three thousand.

After the capture of Xia Luodian. The two sides fell into an eerie calm for a moment. The Japanese mobilized more forces in the rear, and the Nanking government was out of breath considering whether to speed up the reinforcement of troops from all over the country.

August 28, Nanjing Presidential Palace.

"Let's talk about it, what now?!" Jiang Zhongzheng looked at these high-ranking government officials present, sighed and said: "The situation in Shanghai is not optimistic, and you should all put forward your views on where we should go." ”

Everyone, look at me, and I see you silent.

"In my opinion, the goal of the Japanese army is to expel our army from Shanghai. Cut off my communication with the political, financial and policy source centers. ”

It was Alexander, who accepted Nanjing's invitation to come as an advisor to Nanjing. Feng. Falkenhausen. Originally, Falkenhausen was an instructor in the three eastern provinces, but Tu Qianjun felt that if there was no professional to help, Nanjing might fight even worse!

Yes. Tu Qianjun found Hans, who was receiving traditional Chinese medicine treatment in the three eastern provinces due to physical problems. Feng. Sickert, let him write a handwritten letter to Jiang Zhongzhen.

Jiang Zhongzheng is not a fool, he naturally knows how many levels he is inferior to others in terms of strategic arrangement. It was he who accepted the offer that Alexander. Feng. Falkenhausen served as a military adviser to the Nanking government. Although Falkenhausen is not optimistic about the prospects of the Nanjing government at all.

"At present, the most important location is Moruluodian. It is advisable to stop the enemy absolutely there, so that Liu Xing cannot be offended, let alone tend to Jiading. Stable connection from Nanxiang through Jiading-Taicang is extremely important. Yes, my personal advice is that we have to stay here! You can't lose an inch of land, otherwise the entire line of defense and even Shanghai will be meaningless......"

Jiang Zhongzheng's face was cloudy. His original idea was to let the Central Army in Shanghai play a record that was not inferior to that of the Wehrmacht! After all, at the beginning, the Nanjing government and Japan had a great advantage over the Nanjing government!

I didn't expect that with tanks, planes, and a large number of artillery to help the war, the strength was even several times higher than that of the Japanese army, but it ended up like this! Even the thousands of marines of the Japanese army couldn't help it, but Jiang Zhongzheng's heart was cold!

The ratio of troops is already nearly ten times! Take out the weapons and equipment. It is also the strongest of all armies except for the Wehrmacht of the three eastern provinces! But that's it, and the Japanese army still hasn't been taken.

"Notify everywhere and let them hurry up to Shanghai!" After being silent for a long time, Jiang Zhongzheng gritted his teeth and said to He Yingqin beside him: "Let all the departments in Shanghai guard the front line of Luodian, and there must be no mistakes!" Otherwise, military justice will deal with it! ”

"Yes!!" He Yingqin stood up and answered loudly!

August 31, Shanghai.

At dawn, the Japanese army attacked Wusong with more than 30 planes and naval guns and forcibly landed; Another part of the Japanese army landed from the city ferry terminal!

"Boom! Rumble!! Rumble...... "A regiment of the 61st Division guarding Wusong in Nanjing Guofu resisted the Japanese attack on the position, but the old-fashioned tactics were obviously unable to adapt to the heavy artillery and aircraft bombardment of the Japanese army.......

An hour after the outbreak of the fighting, the regiment suffered more than half of its casualties and retreated. Among the positions, only the Wusong Fort was still held by the Shanghai Security Corps. But also in the wind and rain, the establishment of Wusong Fort in the early years relied on a large amount of granite. The fortifications are permanent fortifications.

Yes, it's barely able to hold on. But this is only temporary, and everyone knows that it is only a matter of time before this place falls if it continues like this.

After the defeat in the battle, Zhang Zhizhong immediately transferred Liu Xing's Sixth Division to Yanghang and Wusong to expel the landing enemy. In order to avoid the heavy firepower and aircraft bombardment of the Japanese army, the division advanced to Wusong on the night of the 31st, and encountered the enemy in the area north of Yanghang, and a fierce battle broke out!

On September 1, under the frenzied heavy artillery and air superiority of the Japanese army, the Lion Forest Fort fell, and the Japanese Asama detachment.

On the same day, the Presidential Palace in Nanjing.

"! What kind of battle is this?! It's a mess everywhere! Fall here, fall there! How is this battle fought?! A bunch of bastards!! Jiang Zhongzheng lost his temper in the conference room.

Everyone did not dare to squeak. They knew why Jiang Zhongzheng had such a big temper, and originally all parties were still more optimistic about Nanjing. But under this blow, the rating began to decline.

Originally, in the eyes of all parties, the Wehrmacht fought so well, although Nanjing is definitely not comparable, but at least it will not be too far behind, right?! As a result, in fact, a fight was lost everywhere.

For a time, the resistance of various countries to the Nanjing government began to decline, and after tactical deduction, most European countries believed that Nanjing could support for 2~3 months at most.

Even the most optimistic United States only believes that Nanjing can hold out for three and a half months at most. And the Nanjing government's own deduction can be supported for five months.

You know, before that, all countries thought that Nanjing could at least drag Japan into the quagmire of war! At that time, everyone thought that Japan was a dizzy decision. As a result, Guangdong lost more than half of its weight at once, and one part of the Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions fell.

Although Shanghai is in a tug-of-war so far, Nanjing's powerlessness before the modern war has been vividly demonstrated!

At this time, U.S. Secretary of State Cordell. Hull again issued a telegram calling for a truce between China and Japan. In his opinion, the losses of the Japanese army in this battle were not small. Especially in Korea, and the current situation in Shanghai is not good, the Japanese army should agree to an armistice.

And Nanjing, the losses are huge! It should also be a good time for an armistice, but as a result, there was no objection from Nanjing. But Japan did not respond at all, and continued to go to war on its own!

September 3, Shanghai Jinshanwei.

In the drizzle, Zhang Fakui shouted angrily at the soldiers on the battlefield: "Quick! Dig fortifications! I'll tell you, these street boys, if this fortification hadn't been dug up and the Japanese bombarded it, you would have to die here! ”

At this time, the Japanese troops on the shore were blocked by the 18th Army in the Luodian area, and they originally intended to use the Tiangu detachment in Qingdao to send reinforcements to Shanghai to reach the sea off Wusong, and advance along the route of Wusong Town, Yuepu Town, and Luodian Town.

The whole Shanghai cannon roared, and Zhang Fakui looked at these soldiers who followed him from his hometown with a calm face and stopped talking. This battle, but I don't know how many people will be able to return alive......

In Hankow, a group of men wearing straw sandals and carrying large swords and hats silently stepped down from the train. After a while, they boarded another train amid the angry scolding of "Gua Wazi".

The car was in a hurry, and they didn't wait for the car to finish in a short time. But I heard the roar of the train "woo~~", and then left along the Beijing-Shanghai line train "Ku Cha Ku ......".
