After seeing Zhang Zhizhong's telegram, Liu Yuan was silent, but considered the pros and cons of changing generals on the battlefield. At this time, Chen Cheng's confidence was indeed gone. With the progress of the times, even he felt a heavy pressure.

Then Chen Cheng also sent a telegram to himself, in which Chen Cheng stated his opinion, he thought that at this time, a temporary replacement would not be a good choice, even if he went to Shanghai, he would not be able to turn the tide.

However, he gave Liu Yuan a suggestion that he was willing to dispatch the 19th and 34th Divisions of the 10th Group to carry out a counterattack against the Japanese again, and try to take the city at the last time.

Liu Yuan agreed with Chen Cheng's idea, but for the two strategic locations of Luodian and Dachang, Liu Yuan issued an order in the name of the station headquarters, he gave Huang Wei a division, asking him to hold Luodian no matter what, and at the same time Peng Shan was transferred to Dachang to guard Dachang.

At the same time, he rejected Zhang Zhizhong's request to replace the former enemy's commander-in-chief, and instead sent a telegram to Zhang Zhizhong, the content of which was very simple, only four words, "The overall situation is under control." ”

For Liu Yuan's fine-tuning, Matsui can be said to be a crazy change, the attack on Huishan Wharf and the bad situation in the urban area did not let Matsui Shigen die for a minute, so Matsui Shigen once again made a decision that Liu Yuan looked down on very much.

That is, with the strength of a small part of the troops, they landed in Pudong and Hongkou to attract Liu Yuan's attention, but they wantonly increased their troops in other places, in a vain attempt to suddenly attack the Lion Forest, to break the deadlock and break the defense of Zhang Zhizhong.

Liu Yuan controlled the overall situation, but Chiang Kai-shek was busy, and he also saw that the form of Songhu was not good, so he reinforces Shanghai from various regions, and even the militia in Guangdong and Jiangxi began to be mobilized as a supplement to the regular troops.

With the support of the base camp and the general staff, Matsui Ishone's life gradually became better, the 101st Division was about to reach the battlefield, the 9th Division was assembled, the Japanese Navy once again sent an aircraft carrier force, the air force continued to strengthen, and Matsui could mobilize more than 800 aircraft.

There is a reason why Liu Yuan did not let the troops attack, the Japanese reinforcements will arrive soon, and it is unrealistic to take Shanghai, so he can only let the troops rest and recuperate, while waiting for the aid troops, not in the same state as the reinforcements, but at least not too weak, and at the same time Liu Yuan has made the 74th Army ready for battle.

Hu Zongnan's telegram also told Liu Yuan that his men had chopped another 50,000 tiger and wolf divisions. Xue Yue had a good relationship with Liu Yuan, so his troops marched very fast, and according to the show, the 19th and 21st armies under his command were about to arrive at the battlefield.

But even if he had so many troops under his command, Liu Yuan still didn't make a move, he was waiting, waiting for the Japanese to can't help but punch first.

Matsui Shigen still made a move after the most reckless, and Matsui Zhilu attacked rashly, which would definitely let Liu Yuan seize the loophole, so he took a shameless dispatch and ordered the fleet to shell Huishan Wharf, which has always been in the hands of the Japanese, and they are too familiar with the situation there, the 98th Division stationed there suffered a covering blow, and the remaining strength of the division was less than one regiment, and the division commander was killed in battle, and the regiment commander was killed in battle.

After the artillery fire, Matsui Shigen did not give Zhang Zhizhong a chance to reflect, and immediately sent troops to pounce, the remaining highest commander of the 98th Division was only a battalion commander, and under the leadership of his name Yao Ziqing, the soldiers of the national army and the Japanese army launched a bloody battle at Huishan Wharf.

Zhang Zhizhong decisively ordered the 36th and 88th Divisions to launch an attack on the enemy in front of them to relieve the pressure on the Huishan wharf.

The Japanese ships were strong and the guns were strong, the entire Huishan wharf directly became a sea of shells, the cement fortifications were directly flattened, and hundreds of cannons attacked non-stop, in Matsui Ishone's own words, "Aren't the people of China brave?" Then let's give them a bath with shells. ”

Song Xilian had a heavy artillery brigade under his command, and seeing that the Japanese offensive was very crazy, he spontaneously counterattacked the Japanese troops, but the Japanese naval artillery was too terrifying, and he had no choice but to retreat.

Zhang Zhi was very painful in the center, the reason why he asked to resign from the post of commander of the former enemy was because he knew very well that the Japanese counterattack would definitely be very fierce, and the national army would definitely suffer extremely heavy losses, he didn't want to see this situation, after all, many of those who died were his students, and there was nothing more painful in this world than a teacher watching his disciples die.

"Fuguo, if you don't give me air force support, Huishan Wharf will be lost." Zhang Zhizhong said extremely nervously.

Liu Yuan's words were extremely simple and calm, "The Command Department stipulates that the mobilization of fighters in the theater requires an application to them, and I have already given the application to the principal, and the Air Force will arrive in the shortest possible time, I hope you can hold on." ”

As the battle continued, the remaining fighters of the Nationalist Government were just over six hundred and fifty fighters, which had already begun to appear numerically inferior compared to the enemy's eight hundred fighters.

This time, the Japanese troops knew that Lu Dao was not the opponent of the Nationalist Air Force, but they still fought to the death, and 100 Nationalist fighters and 200 Japanese fighters fought. Although the Japanese army kept having fighter planes landing, they just didn't give the Nationalist Air Force a chance, and Gao Zhihang, who was anxious, had no way at all, and the Japanese army increased its air force, and the Japanese army had more air forces than the national army.

Without the support of the air force, the ground battle became difficult, and although the troops under the command of Zhang Zhizhong fought bravely, they still could not resist the Japanese attack.

The 98th Division was wiped out, and Yao Ziqing's troops were less than 100 people, so Liu Yuan transferred them to Baoshan to recuperate, and at the same time remembered Yao Ziqing's courage in battle, and gave Yao Ziqing a regiment as a supplement.

The Japanese attack was too fanatical, Liu Yuan decided to teach the Japanese army a lesson, and a telegram reached Song Xilian's hands, and Song Xilian made the decision to counterattack the Japanese army on all fronts.

The Japanese army forced their attack for a day, and in Matsui Ishone's opinion, the Shina army was defeated on all fronts, and they no longer had the ability to counterattack, so the defense was very lax.

That night, Song Xilian commanded the 36th Division, personally carried out a powerful counterattack on the logged troops, collected hundreds of mortars from various channels, and under the command of Song Xilian, carried out a covering attack on the Japanese army.

Because of the success of the surprise attack, in a short time, the 36th Division seized the position of the Japanese army, but also paid an extremely heavy price, but before it had time to breathe a sigh of relief, the Japanese army actually launched a large-scale counterattack, Song Xilian couldn't bear it, under the advice of the staff officer, Song Xilian ordered the troops, pretending to be invincible, and retreated in a panic.

It is a very dangerous thing to know that Lu Dao is in the dark night, pretending to be invincible and retreating, but Song Xilian still did it, and the Japanese commander Matsushiro thought that Song Xilian was unable to fight, so he pursued Song Xilian and was ambushed by Song Xilian, and all the troops of a brigade were killed and wounded under the cover of heavy artillery brigades and mortars, and Song Xilian took the position again in one go.
