Fourth, Chapter 433 attacks from all sides
On the river, the Japanese army struggled to rise and fall, and the soldiers of the advance army on the sampan and the small steamer did not hesitate to pull the trigger.
The river quickly turned red in the sound of gunfire, and the small steamer advanced all the way to the sound of gunfire, each rushing towards the two capsized battleships, and began a merciless slaughter around the battleships that were not completely submerged in the water. On the river, after the boat passed, the water was full of corpses.
In the midst of screams and gunshots, Zhao Liqiang in the city shouted excitedly: "Li Delin! Lao Tzu will give you credit!!"
On the truck crate on the riverbank, Li Delin felt his legs weak at this time. Just squeezed the physical energy to push the gun, this will, fatigue hit the body.
He swayed, reached out and pushed the guard away, shouting in a trembling voice, "Camouflage net!" Fortify the position!! ”
Dong Ku received a telegram five minutes later. The moment he got the message, he was exhausted, left the grass nest, and quickly came to the fifth and ordered: "Generate electricity to the concession, electrify the Shilu boundary, Hangzhou and Shaoxing are back in the hands of the Chinese, and they are officially taken over by the advance army." Most of the generals of the Nanjing Massacre were executed, and the rest of the advance army will be hunted down to the ends of the earth! Let the newspaper publish the photo at dawn. ”
"Yes!"
No. 5 was ordered to generate electricity.
Ten minutes later, the 150-watt radio station in the concession sounded, and the radio waves flew into the sky.
The clear-code messages were captured by various countries in the early hours of the morning.
Britain and the United States and other countries were shocked to hear that Hangzhou, which had only been occupied by the Japanese army for a long time, was recaptured, this speed was a bit too fast, and there was no news at all before. It is important to know that there are still many people from all over the world living in Hangzhou, and the killing of the Japanese army entering the city is very light, and there is no great violation of the international safety zone.
What surprised them the most was that the advance army, which had been in Heilongjiang, actually claimed to have taken over Hangzhou and killed dozens of generals, including lieutenant generals. It's so explosive.
Soon, less than an hour after the message was sent, before dawn, they confirmed the accuracy of the message. Those who returned to the city with radio stations, regardless of their power, sent messages one after another.
Japanese Army. At the moment when the four warships lost contact, it was also truly confirmed that Hangzhou was lost, and there was no call back from Shaoxing, only Ningbo was still safe.
But when this telegram reached the hands of the big guys, they were shocked. The advance army actually appeared around Shanghai, that is, they left Heilongjiang and entered the battlefield in Central China!
When chickens and dogs jumped, the first thing they thought of was the emptiness of Heilongjiang. It is necessary to recapture it as soon as possible. As a result, the first telegram was to let the 'Umezu Mijiro' concentrate the elite of the Kwantung Army and attack Shuangcheng and Qiqihar along the line, so that the foundation of the advance army would be cut off.
Order all troops to stop expanding and continue to reinforce the Danyang Theater. Shanghai, after reinforcements arrived one after another, attacked Hangzhou with all its might. He also ordered that the fleet in Hangzhou Bay must keep Ningbo, and the marines reinforced Ningbo.
Lao Jiang. Not annoyed that he was woken up in the early morning, he paced back and forth in the room with a message, constantly thinking. The recapture of Hangzhou has been confirmed. Before he could figure out a clue, what followed was a message deciphered by Boss Dai, an explosive message.
Before. Dai Li did not dare to report these seemingly absurd telegrams, and after deciphering them yesterday, he himself could not believe that they were true. In the telegram, several Japanese generals broke the official jade, and the large army fought around Danyang. Mixed with tens of thousands of enemies, the troops were still calling back.
He had just begun to try to decipher the telegrams, and he couldn't believe the result, until he intercepted the telegrams lost in Hangzhou and deciphered them in the previous way, and then he sorted out the telegrams and reported them in the old Jiang's thoughts.
Is the advance army really so powerful?
Old Jiang frowned and pondered. Immediately, his eyes lit up, and he ordered to send a telegram to the commanders of the theaters, asking the theaters to launch a counterattack and take advantage of the chaos to attack the fallen territory. Leave Hangzhou and Shanghai alone, and throw this hard bone to the advance army.
Zhang Zizhong first understood, the moment he received Lao Jiang's telegram, he understood why the Japanese army did not pursue after taking Xuzhou, but defended on the spot. I understood why the Japanese army abandoned Zhengzhou and directly attacked Shangqiu, thinking that the chaotic battle in Shanghai had already pinned down the nerves of the Japanese army.
"Good opportunity!!"
Zhang Zizhong slapped the table and shouted: "Order all departments, rush to Bengbu Xuzhou, along Shangqiu, and have another battle!" ”
Niangzi Pass there, Lao Zhao also received an order, asking him to rush to Nanjing, Danyang, and Xuzhou Theater, according to the battle situation, to assist the friendly army to attack, and hand over Niangzi Pass to the national army.
After Lao Zhao received the order, he led a large army to take Jiaozuo and went directly to the Xuzhou Theater, and after consulting with Zhang Zizhong, he rushed to Nanjing to participate in the attack there.
After the telegram was sent, Dong Ku ordered Liu Zhong to divide his troops into two routes, all the way back to Hangzhou, and all the way to enter the Changdang Lake area with baggage, ready to carry out a big battle at any time.
Before dawn, the troops near Danyang received an order to harass and attack the enemy to continue, so that the Japanese army had no time to send troops to reinforce Hangzhou, so that Shanghai could attack again, and the target was not limited to Hongkou, but the urban area and city defense were attacked, so that the Japanese army did not dare to transfer large troops to Hangzhou, giving Hangzhou a chance to breathe.
At the same time, he ordered Shunzi, who was guarding the house, to be optimistic about the Harbin defense line, and ordered Goudan to strictly guard against Soviet Russia and prevent them from attacking Mongolia.
Less than ten minutes after the message was sent, the fierce gunfire sounded intensively around Danyang, and the Japanese army, which had just been rested, once again ushered in a miserable attack. I had no choice but to hold a garrison to prevent the enemy from attacking.
In the past two or three days, they have already suffered from the reinforcements of the movement, and they have not thrown down hundreds or thousands of soldiers, but they have not even been able to catch the shadow of the enemy. Therefore, when the attack reappeared, they could only defend passively, and they did not dare to take advantage of the darkness to attack.
The sky is gradually getting brighter. Battles were raging everywhere in Danyang, and even Jiangyin and Zhenjiang were attacked endlessly. Changzhou was the object of care, making the Japanese army miserable and unable to withdraw.
Rushing to the vicinity of Gaoyou, the Japanese army did not stop, stepped up their journey, and immediately rushed to the Danyang War Zone before dark, eliminated the enemy here, and killed Hangzhou.
But at this moment, a fierce battle broke out in Xuzhou, and the national army that had just been driven away was killed again, and after a two-hour rapid march, they rushed to the edge of the battlefield and launched an attack on Bengbu, Shangqiu, and Xuzhou.
Before the Japanese army could dispatch troops, Kaifeng, Anyang, and Xinxiang broke out at eight o'clock in the morning, almost at the same time, and the intensity was obviously to break through the defense line in one fell swoop.
The attacks in these places have not yet made the Japanese army understand the reason, and a large number of troops have also been found near Nanjing, and they are moving towards Nanjing.
After receiving the report that a large number of enemies had appeared on the outer front of Xuzhou and that there had been an exchange of fire, Shouichi Terauchi, who had reinforces Danyang, did not care about reinforcing Danyang, turned the head of the car on the spot, and returned all the way to Xu Shou.
Other troops were also forced to turn around halfway and rush to Nanjing, so as to avoid the loss of Nanjing and consolidate the defensive line.
Subsequently, a large number of fighters took off and flew to Nanjing, Bengbu and Xuzhou.
They did not dare to bomb Hangzhou, but that did not mean that they did not dare to bomb the national army.
At ten o'clock, Dong Ku received telegrams one after another, and he was relieved to learn that he had made a high-profile attack, which made Lao Jiang see hope and opportunity, and the army had already attacked. When Lao Jiang moved, his pressure was lighter. If you talk to Lao Jiang, Lao Jiang will make all kinds of calculations. But once he knew that he was already doing it, and took Hangzhou and coerced Shanghai, Lao Jiang would choose to take the opportunity to fight back.
At the same time, Dong Ku was ready for the battle of Danyang, he wanted to cut off the supply of the Japanese army to Nanjing, cut off the supply line of Zhenjiang, as long as he took Jiangyin and Changzhou, and defended on both sides, he could achieve the goal of dividing the Japanese army. and then cooperate with Hangzhou to encircle Shanghai, completely cut off the supply of the Japanese army in Central China, so that they can only move closer to Shandong and Hebei, and they don't even dare to attack Lao Chiang.
In Heilongjiang, Shunzi had already been elected, and before five o'clock in the morning, the Japanese army attacked in a big way. It's a pity that the Japanese army miscalculated, after buffering, the recruits not only finished training, all the artillery and guns were in place, the shells were rich, the enemy did not even get close to the position of 500 meters, and was left thousands of corpses by a cannon, in the counter-charge, fled back to the position in embarrassment, waited for more than an hour, and did not appear again, it is estimated that there will be no more thoughts of attacking in a short time.
After reading all the telegrams, Dong Ku felt relaxed at the same time, and at the same time, he ordered to send a telegram to intensify the attack on the Japanese army that had been reduced to a group, and strive to defeat the Japanese army here within a week, so as to achieve the strategic goal of encircling Shanghai.
But at this moment, Zhao Liqiang sent an urgent telegram, the Ningbo attack was frustrated, the attacking troops were blocked, and the superior forces were forced to confront the Japanese army, unable to achieve a rapid attack.
It turned out that in the morning, the troops attacking Ningbo rushed to the vicinity of Ningbo, and according to the previous plan, as long as the charge was launched, the troops of one brigade of the opposing side could not withstand the bombardment of guns and grenades.
At the same time, dozens of bombers and fighters appeared in the sky, carrying out devastating bombardment on the attacking troops, causing heavy losses to the troops in the rear of the anti-aircraft artillery.
Near the coast, the threat of the Japanese warships is too great, and they do not have the air power to attack Ningbo. As soon as there is a battle, the Japanese plane can fly in ten minutes, or less. And when attacking, you can't let the anti-aircraft artillery follow the attacking team, that will be the target of the Japanese artillery fire.
Dong Ku squinted his eyes and pondered, he missed the amount of reinforcements from the Japanese navy, and the arrival time of the fighters and bombers on the aircraft carrier, otherwise, a burst of effective shooting, the Japanese artillery is not yet a decoration? They did not have a longer range than the self-tightening guns produced on the island. But in battle, enemy planes are invincible.
It seems that these aircraft carriers must be destroyed, otherwise, it will be a problem to attack Shanghai! (To be continued......)
