Chapter Nine: The Bloody Song of Shanghai (6)

"Boom." All five submarines were aimed at one of the Japanese aircraft carriers, and the Wyvern sank into the sea, and then the submarine dived again and left the battlefield.

Japan's aircraft carriers are very limited, and the production capacity of the Japanese is not as terrifying as imagined, it is only three or four years now, and it is not a matter of time and a half for the Japanese army to produce an aircraft carrier, so every time an aircraft carrier is lost, it is a very difficult thing for them.

With the success of the submarines, the Chinese air force in the sky also began to leave the battlefield, and the Japanese fleet was only angry, and no one told the world that there was still the air force and navy working together, and the damned submarines of China actually launched an attack on them.

However, the Third Fleet has become accustomed to the loss of aircraft carriers, which will make His Majesty the Emperor sad for a while at most. However, the enraged Japanese fleet could not care about anything else, and poured all the shells onto the battlefield.

Huishan Wharf is about to be undefended, Matsui Shigen himself is also very clear, he can't hesitate, the ancient Chinese said that one blow, then decline, three and exhaustion, they have been attacking for a long time, their momentum has begun to decline, and there are currently three group armies in the whole of Shanghai, and one is responsible for defending the north bank of Hangzhou, he must seize this opportunity to defeat the youngest general in China when he is the most vulnerable, and then continue to attack the rest of China.

With Matsui's support, the 87th Division, which was fighting with the Japanese army, had to retreat, and all three regiment commanders under Yi Anhua were killed, Yi Anhua was seriously wounded, 6,000 people, half of the tank company was lost, the Japanese army lost 7,000 people, and the defending troops lost the ability to pursue. The troops attacking Hongkou won a complete victory, annihilating a Japanese brigade in Hongkou, and mortars fired covering the Japanese naval headquarters, but no one knows what the results were.

The resistance of the Japanese army was very stubborn, and the Nationalist army had to fight for every street, house, and wall, and the 87th and 88th Divisions suffered extremely heavy losses, especially the 87th Division, which lost nearly one-third. Many of the other troops lost more than half of their losses, but the party representatives did not flinch, the officers did not flinch, the spirit of Whampoa did not retreat, the officers dared to rush to the front with machine guns, and the soldiers had nothing to fear.

Zhang Zhizhong hammered the map hard, and he knew that it was really wrong for him to boast to Liu Yuan about going to Haikou this time, and the Japanese reinforcements were likely to arrive, and he might not be able to take Shanghai. At this time, Zhang Zhizhong remembered that when he reported to Liu Yuan, Zuo Quan's shocked expression, it turned out that they had already known that they couldn't do it, damn Liu Yuan, I couldn't do it, why didn't he personally command the troops.

Zhang Zhizhong's phone call knocked down the theater command, and Liu Yuan, deputy commander Gu Zhutong, and chief of staff Zuo Quan were discussing the war. Of course, it was more Zuo Quan who explained to Gu Zhutong, Liu Yuan didn't like this instructor very much, so he fell asleep leaning on a chair.

"Hmph, as a commander, I can still sleep at this time." Gu Zhutong's staff officers felt that their commander's face was very unhappy, so he muttered on the side.

The horsewhip in Gu Zhutong's hand almost slapped the little staff officer's face, "Do you know what you said, the general hasn't slept much since the start of the war." ”

"Is the Commander there?" Zuo Quan picked up the phone and heard Zhang Zhizhong's voice.

"The Commander is sleeping." Zuo Quan whispered, he knew that Liu Yuan's heart was very tired, so he didn't want others to disturb him, even Zhang Zhizhong.

"The group army is all gone, he is still embarrassed to sleep, Liu Yuan, you get up for me." Zhang Zhizhong shouted in a loud voice.

"What's going on, what's going on." Liu Yuan shook his head and looked at everyone puzzled.

Zuo Quan covered the phone and said to Liu Yuan, "General Zhang Zhizhong, he is asking for help at this time." ”

Although Liu Yuan just woke up, it doesn't mean that he is not awake, he knows that Zhang Zhizhong is an extremely stable and confident person, in his opinion, asking for help is the most embarrassing thing for a soldier, many times, he would rather suffer himself than ask for help, but once he asks for help, then it proves that the matter has reached an extremely serious situation.

"Do you want the Seventy-Fourth Army to move?" Zuo Quan glanced at Liu Yuan, he knew that the 74th Army of Lu Dao was in Liu Yuan's pocket, but he didn't know what Lu Dao was for Liu Yuan, but he didn't move.

Tell me about the other troops that can be mobilized around.

"There is a division in Wusong." Gu Zhutong knocked on the map and said.

"No, they need to defend the line from Wusong to Liuyang River." Left right opposed.

"Is it okay to transfer the troops of the Eighteenth Army, the troops of the Civil Engineering Department are still very capable of fighting." The operational staff officer advised.

"Most of Chen Cheng's Eighteenth Army is desperate on the battlefield? And there are troops there? Liu Yuan asked rhetorically.

"It's still okay to transfer one or two divisions." The operational staff officer advised.

Gu Zhutong thought for a while and said, "The troops of the Eighth Army can be transferred, but the defense range of the Eighth Army is very wide, and if the troops continue to be transferred, the strength is a problem." ”

"No, Zhang Fakui is incompetent, if his troops are transferred, if the enemy logs in, he can't stop it." Liu Yuan directly refused.

"In this way, it is not possible to transfer a division of the Eighth Army and a division of the Tenth Army?" Left Quan suggested.

Liu Yuan nodded and said, "That's all there is to it, let them hurry up, the Japanese reinforcements will arrive soon." ”

Chiang Kai-shek chose to make Liu Yuan the commander of the theater, not because of Liu Yuan's command ability, but because of his prestige in the southern and northern wars over the years.

Liu Yuan gave an order, and the other troops acted immediately, and it only took a few hours to reach the battlefield, which surprised Zhang Zhizhong, he had not commanded other troops, and it would be good to reach the battlefield in one day. Chiang Kai-shek's choice of Liu Yuan as the commander of the theater was indeed right.

"The 19th Division was ordered by the commander of the theater to report for duty, and asked the commander for instructions." Although the 19th Division is not an ace division, the division commander is a short-tempered soldier, a traditional Chinese soldier, the head of the national war, especially in Liu Yuan's war zone, he has long been ready to play with his life, although he knows that the front line is not smooth, he still chooses to obey the order, if Liu Yuan lets them retreat like this, he will look down on Liu Yuan.

"Japan's reinforcements are coming, but the devils have a suspicious plan, which makes people confused about the main force." Zhang Zhizhong said.

"General, don't ink, we're here to fight, you just say let's go there and fight the devils." The commander of the 19th Division is from Hunan, and the Hunan people talk like eating chili peppers, and their mouths are full of fire, which makes Zhang Zhizhong like it very much.

"Everything is the same, there are only two places we need to garrison, Dachang and Taicang, Dachang's defense is very stable, and Wusong also has enough troops there, you see how you go to Huabin." Zhang Zhizhong asked.

"General, I think it's better here, ordinary troops can't hold here." The commander of the 19th Division pointed to Luodian and said.

"Hehe, sure enough, it's a general, Luodian has already sent a capable person to defend." Zhang Zhizhong said with a smile. "Who is more suitable to defend Luodian than me, Li Jue, there will definitely be a bloody battle there." Li Jue asked unconvinced.

"Huangpu Phase I, Huang Wei." Zhang Zhizhong explained.

"Let's go, go to Reignwood," Li Jue turned around to rescue him, "They all say that Huang Wei is a general of Huangpu, and I will give him a chance to perform today." ”
