Jiang Zhongzheng listened to Wu Xiaoliang's information, the whole person suddenly petrified, cold sweat came out from the palm of his hand holding the handle of the phone, cold and sticky, he knew that Wu Xiaoliang had always been calm and calm, and today he was so out of shape on the phone that he interrupted his speech, it must be that this matter has made him extremely worried, Jiang Zhongzheng is very clear about the location of Qiyakou, if the Japanese army can gain a foothold there, it can threaten the defenders of Shanghai to the south, and it can also point to Changshu to the north, and then approach Nanjing.

If the Japanese army had sufficient strength, it would be possible to attack the front line of Changshu and Taicang on one side, and the Fifth Army of the Chinese defenders of Songhu Zhang Zhizhong and the 57th Division of Li Zejun on the other.

"It's true."

Jiang Zhongzheng still subconsciously asked this question that he knew the answer.

"Rest assured, the 57th Division of the Songhu Defense Line has been dispatched to help, as long as the Japanese army cannot gain a foothold at Qiyakou, it will give our army time to calmly dispatch."

"Very good, Weizhong, you have done a good job, you can decide the things on the front line, you don't have to ask me for instructions in advance."

Hanging up the phone, Jiang Zhongzheng only felt a headache, the matter of the previous secret discussion with He Yingqin seemed to have been mixed up by the Japanese and miscarried, and now the Songhu defenders are weak, and the strongest combat effectiveness is only Wu Xiaoliang's 57th Division and its reorganized Second Army, he looked at Qiya stunned, and suddenly a small flag was planted nearby, it turned out that the Central Military Academy Teaching Corps led by Song Xilian was training nearby.

Jiang Zhongzheng grabbed the phone on the table, "Confidential room, immediately telegraph Song Xilian's troops near Taicang to rush to the aid of Qiyakou, the Japanese army will board there 6, yes, immediately." ”

……

After crossing Jiangyin, the waterway is crisscrossed, the earth rumbles and trembles, and an armored army is moving south along the road, and Changshu is in front.

Brigade commander Guan Bingyan rushed to Qiyakou to prepare to intercept the Japanese army after receiving Wu Xiaoliang's telegram, and a large number of tanks were congested on the narrow official road, although the two sides of the road were empty, but there were endless paddy fields, and the tanks were afraid that it would be difficult to move an inch in it.

Guan Bingyan got off the tank that belonged to him and walked towards the congestion, diesel exhaust filled the air over the entire armored brigade, so that he was a little out of breath, it turned out that a waterway in front of him blocked the road into two sections, and two tanks broke down in it, which congested the follow-up vehicles, and couldn't help frowning, in this road condition, his tank troops could hardly fight, and if they reluctantly attacked, they would inevitably become the target of the Japanese army's heavy activities.

In less than half an hour, the cavalry brigade following behind the armored brigade also arrived, and the brigade commander Dari Achi also frowned when he saw this situation, "I didn't expect the terrain in the south to be so rotten as this Cheng dù......" After that, he dismounted in a flash, squeezed into the middle of the roaring tank brigade, and found Guan Bingyan near the chaotic tank in a moment, and he shook his head when he saw the two big iron lumps that were trapped in the middle of the road in a muddy and broke down.

"Brigade Commander Guan has to hurry up and think of a way to let the large army pass, originally our march was much slower as usual, and if it is slow, I am afraid that little Japan will take the lead."

Guan Bingyan was even more anxious, but he had to wait until the two broken down tanks were dragged out of the mud pit, and then the mud pit could be dealt with simply, so that the large army could get through, he sighed lightly.

"You have to come step by step, I hope you can catch up, the 57th Division is closer to Qiyakou, compared to having already arrived there."

Dari Achi's face suddenly showed anxiety, "Originally, the commander wanted you and me to cooperate with each other and advance alternately, this time let the cavalry brigade go first and pass through the paddy fields, and Brother Guan will follow." ”

In the offensive and defensive battle, if the formation of the infantry is not disrupted and the morale is not broken, they will be a nightmare for the cavalry, so it is very dangerous to let the cavalry break away from the armored brigade and directly face the Japanese troops, but Guan Bingyan has no better way, so he had to agree with Dari Achi's opinion and instructed:

"You and I must keep within 10 kilometers of each other."

It's a pity that these words only caught up with the back of Dari Achi who disappeared in the exhaust gas.

At the same time that the armored brigade and cavalry brigade were trapped on the road, the 57th Division of Li Zejun, located in the northern suburbs of Shanghai, also received a telegram from Wu Xiaoliang to help Qiyakou.

Li Zejun was preoccupied, put his hand on his forehead and looked into the distance, the Wusong fortress hidden in the mist loomed, his heart suddenly chuckled, the Japanese warships shuttled back and forth at the mouth of the Yangtze River, and the fortress artillery turned out to be like a dumb man without doing anything, even in the previous battles for the Zhabei District, the fort of the Wusong fortress had never had any strength, and the fortress cannon could wield a little effect, the Japanese would not be like no man's land in the Yangtze River, and Qiyakou might not be as critical as it is now.

When I turned around, I saw Zhang Zhizhong, who was already standing behind him at some point.

"Brother Wen Bai, who is stationed in Wusong Fortress, why don't you let the Japanese enter and leave the Yangtze River Estuary with a single shot."

Zhang Zhizhong said with a wry smile: "The commander of the fortress, Deng Zhenquan, is an old senior, timid and greedy for money, and he is already considered a big fortune if he does not surrender to the Japanese at this time." This Deng Zhenquan was born in Guizhou Jiangwutang, served in the Yunnan army, and later took refuge in Sun Yat-sen, served as a military academy adjutant at the Whampoa Military Academy, successively served as the first brigade attached to the party army, the deputy brigade commander of the garrison brigade of the general headquarters of the Northern Expeditionary Army, and after the success of the Northern Expedition, he served as the commander of the second division of the 17th Army.

Li Zejun's eyes lit up after hearing this, how could such a figure at both ends of the rat be entrusted with such an important responsibility, and he secretly blamed Chairman Jiang for being just nonsense, even if he appointed a private person, he had to pick a few capable people.

In fact, he really blamed Jiang Zhongzheng, Jiang Zhongzheng naturally knew what kind of virtue Deng Zhenquan was, and the reason why he was appointed as the commander of Wusong Fortress was that he calculated that Shanghai was a place where the concessions of various countries in the international metropolis gathered, and it would be difficult to have a large-scale war, so he put this reliable person in the peaceful place of Shanghai.

"Yu Sanhe, Yu Sanhe."

"Yes."

A mighty and heroic colonel regimental commander immediately came up a few steps behind him and saluted and stood still.

"The division commander gives an order, let Sanhe go where to fight."

Li Zejun pointed to the Wusong Fortress, "There, Wusong Fortress, I order you, bring all your men and horses, and equip you with a machine gun reinforcement company to take over the Wusong Fortress, hold the Wusong Fortress, shell the Chinese and Japanese ships on the Yangtze River, and let the fortress play its due role." ”

"Yes." Immediately Yu Sanhe raised questions.

"The defenders of the fortress are friendly forces, what to do if you don't agree to take over."

Li Zejun's face was gloomy and terrifying, and he said sharply: "If there is a disobedient, shoot on the spot." ”
