Luodian was lost, Jiading was in danger, and the situation in the entire Songhu Battle was already precarious, and even Chairman Chiang, who was far away in Nanjing, was alarmed, and rushed to the headquarters by car overnight to convene an emergency military meeting.

At the meeting, Bai Chongxi again quarreled with the German military adviser Falkenhausen.

"As early as six days ago, I said that Shanghai can't hold it, Shanghai can't hold it at all, and if it continues to hold on to Shanghai, the situation will only get worse and worse, what is happening now? I'm unfortunate enough to be right? Bai Chongxi didn't mean to gloat, but was really worried about the war situation, and said to Chairman Jiang, "Commission, give up Shanghai." ”

Chairman Jiang was silent and silent, his heart was naturally unwilling to give up Shanghai, but now that the situation on the Songhu battlefield has taken a sharp turn for the worse, it is not a bad choice for a strong man to break his wrist and decisively abandon Shanghai, but if he gives up Shanghai at this time, the price he will have to pay is far greater than six days ago.

Seeing that Chairman Jiang seemed to be a little moved, Bai Chongxi picked up the report in front of him and continued: "Commission, you must have read this war analysis report, and I think that the analysis is very reasonable, and it is indeed not advisable to fight a decisive battle with the Japanese army in Shanghai, and it is the right choice to rely on the four national defense lines of Wu Fu, Xicheng, Jiacha, and Haijia to continue the war of resistance." ”

The report carefully analyzed the huge gap between the Chinese and Japanese armies in terms of navy and air force, and held that it was not advisable to serve the Japanese army in Shanghai, so Shanghai should be resolutely abandoned.

Falkenhausen, who had been listening to the translator's whispered translation, suddenly stood up and said excitedly: "No, you must not give up Shanghai, absolutely not, Shanghai is not only the financial land of the national government, but also the defense support of the entire East China. ”

Bai Chongxi shook his head, he didn't want to quarrel with Falkenhausen anymore, he just looked at Chairman Jiang and didn't speak.

Chairman Jiang was also hesitant in his heart, and suddenly asked Gu Zhutong: "Mo San, how long can the 11th Division hold out?" ”

Gu Zhutong smiled bitterly when he heard this, thought about it and replied truthfully: "Commission, the 11th Division is afraid that it will not be able to hold it for even half a day." ”

Chairman Jiang's brows tightened for a moment, and he said, "Then, can the downtown area of Shanghai still be able to transfer troops?" ”

Gu Zhutong shook his head and said helplessly: "As early as a few days ago, the 87th and 88th divisions in downtown Shanghai had already switched from offensive to defensive, and the 36th and 61st divisions and the teaching corps also fought very hard in Zhang Huabin and Wusong. ”

Chairman Jiang's head was already bulging with green tendons, and he said, "So, which unit is closest to Luodian?" When will it arrive? ”

Gu Zhutong said: "The closest to Luodian is Wang Yaowu's 51st Division, a brigade of the division has arrived at Anting Station, but a follow-up brigade and Jishu equipment are still on the way to Shanghai, in addition, Feng Shengfa's 58th Division has also arrived in Songjiang, but the division's Jishu equipment has not yet arrived in ......."

"No waiting!" Commissar Jiang waved his hand and said in a deep voice, "Immediately send a telegram directly to Wang Yaowu and Feng Shengfa, asking them not to wait for the artillery, and immediately rush to Luodian's aid with light equipment." ”

Gu Zhutong said: "Commission, even if you order the 51st Division and the 58th Division to rush to Luodian lightly, I'm afraid it's too late, Anting is closer to Luodian than Songjiang, and there are nearly 100 miles, and you have to detour when you encounter the river barrier, the marching distance is at least more than 100 miles, the night march is not fast, and there are Japanese blockades and obstructions during the day, so the 51st Division will not be able to reach Luodian until dark tomorrow at the earliest, and the 11th Division will not be able to hold out until it gets dark tomorrow at all......"

Before the words fell, a senior staff member suddenly hurried in and whispered a few words in Chairman Jiang's ear.

Chairman Jiang was immediately overjoyed and asked loudly: "What are you talking about, a regiment of the 51st Division has already arrived at Luodian?" Which regiment, 301, 302 or 306? What is the name of their regimental leader? ”

Gao Shen replied: "Report to the commission, it was Qiu Weida's 306th regiment who rushed to Luodian. ”

"Qiu Weida? Qiu Weida! Chairman Jiang said, "I remember, I remember him, in the first battle of Tanjiaqiao, Wang Yaowu defeated two divisions with one brigade, and also killed the most capable division commander Xun Huaizhou, at that time Qiu Weida was only a company commander under Wang Yaowu, and I personally awarded him a medal!" ”

Gao Shen was speechless, he really didn't know about this.

However, Chairman Chiang's memory is really good, or he is very attentive to the generals under his command, and the division commanders in the national army, whether it is the Central Army, the Northeast Army, the Northwest Army, the Jin Sui Army, the Gui Army, the Sichuan Army or the Eighth Route Army, but all the officers above the division commander level, Chairman Chiang knows the details of them well, and the regiment commander can also remember most of them.

"Send a report to Qiu Weida immediately...... Chairman Jiang only remembered that the regiment-level units were not equipped with radio stations until halfway through speaking, so he changed his words at the moment, "Send a report to Luo Zhuoying immediately, and ask Luo Zhuoying to send a correspondent to inform Qiu Weida and order the 306th Regiment to recapture Luodian at all costs, remember, at all costs." ”

Gu Zhutong shook his head with a wry smile, the old mistake of liking to skip the command has been committed again.

Bai Chongxi was even more slanderous in his heart, and it was just a matter of overstepping the command, why don't you give a more reliable order? Let Qiu Weida recapture Luodian at all costs, wouldn't that fill the meat grinder with limited precious troops? At present, the most reliable way should be to let Qiu Weida's regiment go straight into Gu's house and threaten the flank of the Japanese army.

##########

When Chairman Jiang held an emergency military meeting at the headquarters, Qiu Weida had already rushed to Wudoujing north of Gu's house with the main force of the 306th Regiment to set up an ambush, and Xu Nineteen had also completed the encirclement of Gu's house with the 100th veteran of the 19th Brigade.

From a distance, the situation of the Gu family house has hardly changed, the village is still dark, it is estimated that the men, women and children in the village have already run out, but the courtyard at the entrance of the village is still lit, and a Japanese military sentry has also been replaced outside the gate, and the Japanese military sentry also looks like a highly vigilant veteran.

The 19th Brigade lurked in the cotton field, quietly waiting for news from the 306th Regiment.

About ten minutes later, Qiu Weida's communication corps arrived, and it was ready over there!

At that moment, Xu Shijiu called Dushou, the old lady's uncle and Gao Shenxing to him, and ordered: "Lao Du with 1 row to block the back door, Shen Xing, you take 2 rows to block the west, the old lady with 3 rows to block the east, the death squad and I block the main gate, each platoon listens to my gunfire as a signal, attacks from four directions at the same time, can't go a little Japan, kill me all." ”

One hand, Gao Shenxing and the old lady's uncle each took a platoon away, and there were still about twenty veterans left in the same place, Xu Shijiu turned around and ordered Ergua and Shu Tongwen: "Ergua, Tongwen, you two follow me." ”

Ergua and Shu Tongwen nodded in agreement, and then followed Xu 19 and about 20 other veterans quietly to the cotton field in front of the compound, and lay down in the drainage ditch between the two cotton fields.

Xu 19 opened the nose of the box gun and aimed at the Japanese sentry thirty meters away.

Calculating the time, each platoon has almost entered the attack position, Xu 19 did not hesitate to pull the trigger, and a crisp gunfire exploded under the silent night sky, and the Japanese sentry post holding a bayonet outside the gate fell to the ground, and he was shot in the head by Xu 19.

In the next moment, the noise of Japanese soldiers resounded in the compound.

Xu Shijiu inserted the box gun back into the holster, turned his head sideways and said to Ergua: "Give me the machine gun." ”

Ergua handed the Czech light machine gun in his hand to Xu 19 without thinking, Xu 19 took the machine gun and just set it up, the two gates of the compound were opened from the inside, a Japanese soldier holding a crooked handle was about to put on the shelf on the threshold, Xu 19 pulled the trigger and it was a "da-da-da" short point, and the Japanese machine gunner fell in a pool of blood.

The Japanese assistant shooter had just made up for it, and was knocked down by Xu 19's short shot.

Xu Shijiu was in the dark, and the machine gun was extremely old-fashioned, and Little Japan had already lost the lead.

However, the little Japanese reacted quickly, and found that the main gate was blocked, so they quickly closed the gate, and then climbed the courtyard walls on both sides, trying to attack from the flanks, which is also the usual trick of the little Japan, and the front was blocked, and immediately divided the troops into a roundabout, but six or seven Japanese soldiers had just climbed the courtyard wall, and the left and right sides exploded into dense gunfire.

The six or seven Japanese soldiers who climbed the courtyard wall screamed and fell back, but they didn't know how many had died.

At this time, little Japan had no choice but to hide in the courtyard and use grenadiers to shoot grenades indiscriminately outside.

Xu 19 didn't immediately order the charge, this time it was a reinforcement from the encirclement point, the 306 regiment had not yet received the fire, and he naturally couldn't swallow the bait in one bite, Xu 19 kept pulling out two or three short points, and the two door panels of the compound were shot with sawdust, and when a magazine was about to run out, Xu 19 turned his head and shouted: "Tongwen, magazine!" ”

Shu Tongwen, who was lying next to Xu Shijiu, hurriedly took out a magazine from the back basket and handed it to Xu Shijiu, Xu Shijiu clicked on the magazine and threw the replaced magazine back, Shu Tongwen picked it up and took a look, and found that there were several bullets left in the replaced magazine, and his face showed a confused look, the bullet was not finished, why should he change the magazine?

But soon, Shu Tongwen knew that Xu Shijiu Weishenme was going to change the magazine in advance.
