Chapter 476: 140,000 People Unload Their Armor (4)
The Japanese army attacked Zhabei District without warning, Yu Jishi was caught off guard, Yang Bufei's 262nd Brigade was still on the way to the division after winning the blocking battle, and he now only had the 264th Brigade that was heavily damaged in the previous battle, the Japanese army dispatched the elite Seventh Infantry Wing and the Nineteenth Infantry Wing of the Ninth Division to attack fiercely, although Yu Jishi's strength was roughly the same as the Japanese army, but the combat effectiveness was not the same after all, so he had no choice but to choose to fight and retreat.
The sound of cannonballs breaking through the air bursts, Yu Jishi looked at the tall buildings in the distance of the ruins with resentment, and it seemed that this time he couldn't fight but did it all.
"Boom,."
An artillery shell exploded less than 20 meters away from Yu Jishi, and the guards could no longer sit idly by and watch the division commander not retreat, this place was already covered by local artillery, and if there was an accident, the entire Zhabei battlefield would be completely over.
So, the two guard soldiers ran west when they set up Yu Ji under the strong order of the division chief of staff, they only thought that the farther west they ran, the safer it was, completely ignoring the division commander's reprimand, roaring, it turned out that they left absolutely in time, because just ten minutes later, the soldiers of the Japanese Seventh Wing stood in the ruins where the division commander Yu had stood, but those Japanese soldiers were unaware of this, and continued to rush forward without stopping at all.
Yu Jishi didn't understand, why the Japanese army, which was still lifeless two days ago, seemed to be a different person today, and the battle seemed to be resuming the previous way of rushing forward even if he didn't want to die, when he retreated to Hengfeng Road, he finally broke free from the control of the guard soldiers, the main defensive line position of the 264th Brigade was here, and he led his subordinates to retreat without letting go of a shot, he couldn't do it, Yu Jishi had red eyes and hoarsely made the final mobilization to the soldiers in the defensive position.
"Forty thousand compatriots across the country are watching us...... None of the 88th Division was a bad seed, and if they were willing to fight to the death with me and Yu Jishi, they shouted out. ”
After three seconds of silence, the entire position instantly erupted in bursts of roars.
"Fight to the death."
"The Japanese will be defeated."
Yu Jishi's eyes moistened, he took out the Browning automatic pistol at his waist, and threw himself into the sea of fever.
Only a quarter of an hour later, the vanguard of the 7th Wing of the Japanese Army exchanged fire with the 264th Brigade, and after the initial Shun Lì, here it was like the tide hitting a solid stone embankment, and the repeated impact could not advance half a step at all.
The Hengfeng Road in the ruins seems to have become a meat grinder, there are constantly Chinese soldiers and Japanese soldiers falling, but one falls and another immediately makes up, Yu Jishi's soldiers are worthy of Jiang Zhongzheng's descendant of the Central Army, and the combat effectiveness is not comparable to those domestic warlords and the soldiers of the Beiyang government.
The Chinese defenders only used the strength of one brigade to repeatedly engage in a tug-of-war with the 7th Wing, and when the battle was deadlocked, the adjutant sent a telegram, which was not good news, and the 262nd Brigade exchanged fire with the Japanese invaders with unknown numbers on the way back to the division.
This news made Yu Jishi's heart sink sharply, if the 262nd Brigade could not come back in time, he would even find it difficult to deal with a seventh wing, if the Japanese army had other wings to join the attack sequence, wanting to hold Hengfeng Road would be tantamount to a fool's dream, a fantasy.
What to do, what to do, to ask the military command for help.
"Report immediately, the Japanese Ninth Division has launched a large-scale counterattack, and it is difficult to support it alone, so please send reinforcements from Junzuo."
In the end, he still sent a telegram to Zhang Zhizhong, who had returned to Zhenru, asking for help, but did he still have enough time to wait for reinforcements from the military department.
……
In the café of the French Concession, the table suddenly shook suddenly, and the coffee cups and saucers made frequent overlapping sounds.
Miss Meiyu raised her head in surprise and looked out, and faintly there was a "rumbling" sound outside, and the driver surnamed Takahashi comforted: "The war with the people of China has started again, let's go back to the mansion." At this moment, Takahashi is regretting, regretting sending Miss Meiyu to China at this time, he doesn't understand why the head of the Meiyu family must send him to China before he dies, the Meiyu family collapsed in that storm, and almost became nothing, Takahashi even paid out of his own pocket to fulfill this promise.
But what surprised him was that Miss Meiyu seemed to have arranged a back road in China for a long time, the mansion in the French Concession, all kinds of facilities and tools, including the servants in the mansion, and of course, the brand-new Chevrolet car he drove.
Miss Meiyu picked up the delicate napkin, gently wiped the corners of her mouth, and said softly:
"Mr. Takahashi, sit down for a while, I'll go wash my hands."
Takahashi was surprised by Miss Meiyu's calmness, if it was the daughter of an ordinary family, I am afraid that she would have been frightened by the war atmosphere of China, and she would have returned to Japan with a quarrel, perhaps, this is what the people of China often say that the tiger father has no dog, and the tiger father of the head of the Meiyu family also has no dog girl, he suddenly felt that Miss Meiyu must have come to China with some kind of mission, and revive the Meiyu family, but, he looked at the weak back that disappeared around the corner, and muttered: "Such a weak woman, can she take on the responsibility of weighing more than a thousand catties." ”
Takahashi would have been surprised if he could see through the wall around the corner, but unfortunately he couldn't.
A strange man came to Miss Meiyu's side and seemed to put a piece of paper on the corner of the table at random, and Miss Meiyu also seemed to inadvertently hold the piece of paper in her hand, and then neatly put it into the bag she carried.
……
In view of the fact that the situation in Beijing and Shanghai has stabilized, he hopes that he can lead his troops north to solve the Beijing-Tianjin problem, but a telegram made Wu Xiaoliang's nerves that had just relaxed again tensed, and originally heard that Zhang Zhizhong had also launched a counteroffensive with him in Zhabei, and it was very successful, but in the next day, unfavorable news came one after another.
First of all, the entire army of the 88th Division was wiped out, and the division commander Yu Jishi was seriously wounded and was snatched out of the line of fire by his subordinates, so that he did not fall into the hands of the Japanese invaders, and then the 87th Division was also driven out of Zhabei after the 88th Division was overthrown.
In desperation, Zhang Zhizhong had no choice but to order the whole army to retreat, but this retreat could no longer stop the car, and was pursued by the Japanese Ninth Division, all the way to the west, through Jiading, was driven to Taicang to meet with the 57th Division before stopping.
At the same time, because the Fifth Army was defeated too quickly, it retreated directly to Taicang, and the Ninth Division followed closely behind, so that the 57th Division of Li Zejun, which was stationed here besieging the 14th and 5th Divisions of the Japanese Army, suddenly faced the embarrassing situation of being attacked on the back of the enemy.
