However, Shimono Kazuho soon brought a bad news to Gu Shoufu, and the Nakamura brigade lost contact!

"Nani, can't you get in touch with the Nakamura team?" Gu Shoufu's heart jumped suddenly, and suddenly he had a very unpleasant premonition, and then thought of the national army that suddenly appeared in front of him, and it came down from the north along the Songjia Highway, and the accident of the Nakamura Brigade can be said to be a certainty.

Seeing that Gu Shoufu's face was not very good-looking, Shimono Kazuho said with concern: "Division Commander, your face is not very good, do you want to go down and rest first?" ”

"No, it's okay, I'm fine." Gu Shoufu shook his head and raised the telescope again.

Originally, it was just a subconscious action, but after raising the telescope, Gu Shoufu really found an abnormality, a group of Chinese troops appeared in his field of vision very suddenly, the number of people was also not very large, at most there were about a hundred people, but the direction of their march was very clear, that is, they came to the hill guarded by the division headquarters.

Shimono Ichihuo Fa also discovered this Chinese army, and said in a deep voice: "It doesn't seem to be a rout. ”

"Shimono-san, did you see that military flag?" Gu Shoufu noticed that the Chinese army was still waving the military flag, so he turned his head and asked Shimono Kazuho, "Can you read the number written on it, which unit is this?" ”

Shimono Kazuho adjusted the focus and said in a tone of uncertainty: "It seems to be the 74th Army of the National Revolutionary Army, the division commander, the 74th Army!" ”

"Seventy-fourth Army?" Gu Shoufu is quite unfamiliar with this number.

In this regard, Japan's intelligence agencies lagged behind a little, and they figured out the numbers of almost all division-level national troops on the Songhu battlefield, but they did not know much about the numbers at the army level, and the reason was very funny, because Chairman Chiang set up many new army-level structures after the outbreak of the Battle of Songhu, and the Japanese were confused.

When Gu Shoufu was full of confusion, another Chinese army appeared in the field of vision, the same small number, the direction of march is also clear, all of them are coming to this side, at this time, the first appearance of more than 100 national troops has entered the preset position on the west side of the mountain, greatly strengthening the defense on the west side.

"Eight Grids." Gu Shoufu frowned and scolded, "What kind of reputation is that person? ”

Shimono Ichiho was also confused, and out of caution, he still suggested: "Division commander, do you want to send a report to Ushijima-san or Sakai-san and ask them to send one or two infantry brigades back?" ”

"Nope." Gu Shoufu shook his head and said, "Let's wait and see." ”

Outside Qingpu City, the temporary headquarters of the 19th Brigade.

When Xu Shijiu walked out of the door, it was already raining in the sky, and the winter drizzle was so cold that it froze people's bone marrow, but Xu Shijiu raised his head and hahadaxiao: "God help, haha, this rain is a little easier." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Ergua came out of the command headquarters and fell, got up from the muddy ground, and carried the box containing wires and batteries back on his back, wiping the mud on his face, and said to Xu Shijiu: "Captain, what's okay, I can't go down the rain road." ”

"What do you know, we can't take the road, the armored vehicles and cars of the little Japanese will be even more unable to move, and their planes will not be able to take off, and the reconnaissance planes of the little Japanese will not be able to go into the sky, and the probability of the success of the suspicious military plan will be a few points higher." Xu Jiu rubbed Ergua's head and said with a smile, "This is a great thing!" ”

After laughing, Xu Shijiu turned around and walked straight into the command headquarters, and said to the communication squad leader: "Prepare to send a report." ”

The communications squad leader hurriedly opened the notebook and prepared to record the message, and the female operator next to her had already sat down at the table, putting on earplugs and skillfully turning on the radio station.

Xu 19 began to dictate the telegram: "Mi, the 51st Division will immediately move south from Baihe Port to Qingpu along the Songjia Highway, and the 58th Division will be deployed on the spot in Qingpu County, except for one remaining behind, the 343rd Regiment and 344th Regiment of the 172nd Brigade and the 347th Regiment of the 174th Brigade will immediately go south to Songjiang along the Songjia Highway to recover Songjiang before dark." ”

The communication squad leader recorded it word for word, and then was dumbfounded: "Captain, this ......"

The communication squad leader was a little short of his brain, so he ordered the 51st Division to go south to Qingpu along the Songjia Highway, and then ordered the 58th Division to go south to Songjiang along the Songjia Highway, and recapture Songjiang before dark? Why does it sound like the tone of Yu Jishi, the commander of the 74th Army? But no matter how you look at it, this person in front of him is just a colonel, not a general?

Xu Shijiu said: "You don't have to ask anything, just send it like this." ”

"But......" the communications squad leader was about to cry, "the 51st Division and the division headquarters can't be contacted?" ”

"It's fine." Xu Shijiu patted the communication squad leader on the shoulder and said, "You just take the hair." ”

"Regardless of whether the other party has received the signal or not, the telegram will be sent?" The communication squad leader became more and more confused, but he still translated the message dictated by Xu Jiu into code and handed it to the telegraph operator in the shortest possible time, and the telegraph operator was also confused, but she still ignored the fact that no one on the other side received the signal and sent the telegram.

Nanjing High Command.

Wang Shihe, the chief of the guard, had already come in and persuaded Chairman Chiang several times, but Chairman Chiang insisted on refusing to leave, and breakfast was hot and hot, but Chairman Chiang had no appetite at all.

After dawn, Chairman Chiang's eyes never took his eyes off the map, on the map, on the southeast side of Kunshan Mountain, facing the direction of the Qingkun Highway, three red lines had appeared, Xue Laohu was indeed not in vain, in a very short period of time he organized six regiments of troops, and built three lines of defense.

However, none of the military and political officers in the command hall, including Chairman Chiang, were optimistic; after all, these six regiments were only temporary units, not to mention the disordered command and low morale, and it was said that even weapons and equipment were scarce.

The only good news is that it is raining, and when it rains, the little Japanese planes will no longer be able to come and bomb it, and the little Japanese tanks, armored vehicles, and automobiles will not be able to move, which will somewhat weaken the mobility and combat effectiveness of the Japanese army, and make up for the huge gap in combat effectiveness between the Chinese and Japanese armies a little.

However, how could the Japanese army be thwarted by God's help alone?

A communications staff officer walked in with a folder, and there was a rush in the command hall, and several combat staff officers hurriedly picked up a blue pencil and extended the blue arrow pointing to Kunshan on the map a little further, directly on the outermost red line, which means that the outermost defenders of Kunshan have been connected with the Japanese army.

The hearts of Chairman Chiang and a cadre of military and political officials immediately hung in the air, and the moment to decide the life and death of more than 80 main divisions and more than 500,000 troops had finally arrived! The moment has finally come to decide the life and death of the Nationalist Government and the Chinese nation! Even though they knew that the odds were slim, everyone present was hoping for a miracle.

The one-eyed dragon intercepted another rout, almost thirty men.

The platoon commander who led the team asked, it was the 57th Division, and the troops were quite neat when they had just withdrawn from Pudong, but when they crossed the Huangpu River, the small Japanese planes bombed them, and the troops were in chaos, and after nightfall, they couldn't even find a sense of direction.

After that, the platoon commander asked the one-eyed dragon again: "Sir, do you know where our division is?" ”

"I don't know." The one-eyed dragon said coldly, "Don't retreat, stay with Lao Tzu and guard Qingpu!" ”

"Shouqingpu?" The platoon commander was stunned and said, "Why, the order we received is to evacuate Shanghai as soon as possible." ”

"Why, that's it!" The box cannon in the one-eyed dragon's hand hit the platoon leader's head at once, and he said murderously, "As a soldier, it is shameful to fear the enemy and die cowardly!" ”

"We are not idle in Pudong, now we are going to the peak to withdraw, why not withdraw?" The platoon leader was angry and said angrily, "Besides, which green onion are you, why do you teach us a lesson?" ”

The one-eyed dragon said: "I only ask you, are you afraid of death?" ”

The platoon commander said: "Joke, if we are afraid of death, we will not come to be soldiers." ”

The one-eyed dragon said: "Very good, since you are not afraid of death, then follow me to Qingpu." ”

"It's okay to go to Qingpu." The platoon commander was also aroused, and said angrily, "But let's talk ahead, it's going to be Qingpu and your dog's day will slip away first, don't blame us for being unkind to you." ”

"No problem." "If I slip away first, he'll screw my head off if he bumps into you." ”

"If that happens, if there is a day, we will never be polite." The platoon commander glared coldly at the one-eyed dragon, then turned back and yelled at the twenty or so defeated soldiers behind him, "Brothers, go." ”

Sheshan, headquarters of the 6th Division of the Japanese Army.

It was freezing rain in the sky, the old devil couldn't stand it when he was old, so he hid in the tent to keep warm, Shimono Yihuo was young and strong, and stayed on the top of the mountain to take on the responsibility of monitoring the Chinese army, in fact, as the chief of staff of the division, Shimono Yihuo didn't need to bow down in person, but this little devil was a paranoid.

Through the vast rain, you can see that another Chinese army has driven over, since dawn, several national troops have been driven to Sheshan, and now the Chinese army stationed in the east, west and south of Sheshan has exceeded 1,000 people, and it is likely that more Chinese troops will come in the future.

Until now, Tani Shofu only ordered Ushijima to transfer one infantry brigade back to Sheshan, and did not make adjustments to the entire operation of the 6th Division, but Shimono Kazuho faintly felt that the 6th Division seemed to be facing an unprecedented crisis, and if it was not transferred back to the main force of the division in time, it was likely that something big would happen.

"What the hell weather!" Shimono Ichihuo bowed the rain on his face, and the resentment in his heart had never been so strong, if it weren't for this damn rainy and foggy weather, he would only need to send a reconnaissance plane from the air team to circle twice, and he would be able to see the movements of the Chinese army clearly, and he wouldn't have to stand here and bother guessing.

When he was worried, a communications staff officer suddenly came to the top of the mountain, and Xiangxia Ye Yihuo reported: "Chief of staff, the communication team has intercepted an airwave signal, which is very strong, and it should be near Sheshan." ”

Shimono Kazuho's heart jumped and asked, "Did you record the other party's code?" ”

The communications staff officer replied: "Since the interception of this radio signal, all the codes have been recorded. ”

"Yo Si." Shimono Ichihuo nodded happily, and said, "Immediately send the recorded code to the front army headquarters, and ask the colleagues of the secret service to decipher it as soon as possible. ”

"Hello!" The communications staff officer bowed his head and turned to go.
