Two hundred and seventy-eight. dignity
At dawn on November 5, 1937, the newly formed Japanese 10th Army, under the command of Yanagawa Heisuke, was escorted by the fleet to make a sudden landing at Caojing Town, Quangong Pavilion, Jinsiniang Bridge and other places near Jinshanwei in Hangzhou Bay, outflanking the southern part of the Chinese army's defense line in Songhu.
Wang Weiyi's prediction was confirmed.
After the successful landing of the Japanese army, the Shanghai Dispatch Army and the 10th Army were combined to form the Central China Front, under the unified command of Matsui Ishine, and the Japanese base camp stipulated that its combat area was to connect the east of the Suzhou-Jiaxing line, and the task was to dampen the enemy's will to fight, obtain a place for the purpose of ending the war, and coordinate with the navy to eliminate the enemy near Shanghai. The 6th and 18th Divisions rushed to the Songjiang and Shanghai-Hangzhou railways respectively according to the pre-deployment.
After receiving Xue Yue's warning, Chen Cheng urgently ordered the 67th Army of Wu Keren, the Northeast Army of the Right Wing Army, to reinforce Songjiang.
Due to the timely order, although the 67th Army had only arrived from northern Henan, it still rushed to Songjiang in time under the leadership of the army commander Wu Keren!
And what they faced was the 6th Division, which was known as the strongest and most effective in the Japanese Army. Division Commander:
Tani Toshio!
On the evening of the 6th, Wu Keren led the 67th Army to Songjiang. At that time, Guo Rudong, who was also responsible for the defense of Songjiang, led the 43rd Army, which was only 5 or 600 remnants, and the weapons were rudimentary.
After Wu Keren learned about the enemy's situation, he immediately ordered Zhang Wenqing, commander of the 108th Division, to lead his troops to defend and block the enemy in the west of the city, and Jin Kuibi, commander of the 107th Division, to go out of the new east gate to meet the enemy attacking from the north.
The Battle of Matsue broke out!
This was a decisive battle, as long as the 67th Army could intercept the Japanese army at Songjiang. was able to cover the retreat of the Chinese army in the Shanghai battlefield.
And once Songjiang is captured by the Japanese army, then the situation of the war will become seriously passive to the Chinese army
Wu Keren has made up his mind to live and die with Songjiang!
Acting as the vanguard of the 6th Division was the 11th Infantry Wing of the 47th Brigade Regiment!
This is also the most combat-capable unit of the 6th Division!
Just when Wing Commander Masanori Hasegawa had just arrived in Matsue. Based on the opportunity of unstability, countless military trumpets suddenly sounded on the position outside the new east gate of Songjiang!
The 67th Division of the 197th Army of the National Revolutionary Army of the Republic of China - Attack!
Machine guns were clamoring to cheer for their brothers, and Chinese soldiers with broadswords in their hands shouted and roared like an unstoppable iron stream rushing towards the enemy!
The 67th Army is the Northeast Army!
In the land of the Northeast, they were once disgraced! They retreated without a fight. The whole of Tohoku was ceded to the Japanese.
For a while, everyone shouted and beat the Northeast Army like rats crossing the street, and even the shops that bought baked cakes refused to sell them even a single sesame seed!
The officers and men of the Northeast Army did not dare to meet people. They keep their heads down during the day, and at night they think of their families who are still in the northeast, and they can only silently shed tears back into their stomachs
Shame - it takes blood to wash it away!
Now is the time for them to wash away their shame!
Blood - it's not worth it! Life - not worth much! Most valuable:
- It's majesty! The dignity of being a Chinese soldier!
The Japanese were a little dazed. Since the outbreak of the Battle of Shanghai. They had never encountered such a scene before. Generally, the Chinese army was on the defensive side of the position. And now, the Chinese army has actually launched such a ferocious initiative?
In the sky, there are no planes that cover the Japanese yet! On the ground, the artillery of the Japanese army has not yet arrived!
When the machine guns were erected, the Chinese soldiers were about to rush in front of them, and when the Japanese machine guns roared, the Chinese soldiers were completely unafraid of the threat of death, and marched forward one after another on the corpses of the brothers!
And they did!
These are fearless. The Chinese soldiers, with their waists straight, rushed into the ranks of the Japanese!
The broadswords in their hands rolled up like a raging wind, cutting down the Japanese soldiers one by one. Give back all the humiliation that you have suffered in Tohoku here to the Japanese!
Company Commander Fu Dezhang has never been so happy as he is today!
When he escaped from the Northeast, he was only a squad leader, and those insulting scoldings that made people feel extremely humiliating still echoed in his ears.
Now, the chance for revenge has arrived! The once lowered head can be held high again!
His big knife had already cut down the two devils, and when he was about to rush towards the third devil, his vest suddenly cooled, and then Fu Dezhang knew that he was injured.
And it hurts badly!
Fu Dezhang did something unimaginable to the Japanese soldiers who attacked him behind him:
His body jerked forward, struggling to pull his body out of the bayonet!
Then, Fu Dezhang turned around, roared wildly, and the big knife fell fiercely on the heads of the Japanese soldiers!
Blood splattered all over his face, and a head was cut in half!
Fu Dezhang smiled: "Kill!" Kill! ”
There was another huge pain in his left rib, and Fu Dezhang grabbed the bayonet, and blood flowed out of his hand
As if he didn't feel it at all, he grabbed the bayonet and pulled it out violently to his side, stabbing it deeper, and the Japanese soldier was involuntarily pulled in front of Fu Dezhang.
"Die!"
In the roar of Fu Dezhang, the fourth Japanese soldier died in his hands!
Fu De was crumbling, but he always insisted that he should not fall, and he shouted with the most powerful force: "Brothers, kill the enemy, kill the enemy!" Don't embarrass the Northeast gentlemen! ”
After shouting this, he fell to the ground with a bang
His eyes were wide open, as if he were watching the evening sunset
The Northeast is his home, the loveliest home, but he can't go back, he can't go back, he sheds all his blood here
It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, one day, his brothers will go back with his faithful body
Back to his loveliest hometown
Fu Dezhang, captain and company commander of the 107th Division of the 67th Army of the National Revolutionary Army, died in Songjiang at the age of Chinese New Year's Eve.
Fu Dezhang died, and many brothers fell like him, but the Japanese army also suffered heavy casualties.
Here they were forced to strangle with the Chinese servicemen. Their superiority in firepower could not be brought into play, and their assault tactics could not be brought into play.
Their stabbing skills are stronger than those of the Chinese soldiers, but now, they don't just rely on stabbing skills!
It depends on who is not afraid of death!
After the outbreak of the Battle of Shanghai, many Japanese soldiers were also not afraid of death, and in the Luodian meat grinder, it was often a wave of Japanese troops who were repulsed, and then another wave continued to attack.
But now there has been some change in the mentality of the Japanese army
They were caught off guard by surprise, and the Chinese soldiers were so fierce. And what's even more worrying is:
Are these Chinese soldiers not afraid of death? It's like treating your life as child's play!
They often resolutely pull grenades when they are seriously wounded, and die with the enemies around them. They would often pounce on the enemy with the slightest strength even though the bayonet was clearly already in their chests!
The corpses on the ground have been layered, some Chinese, some Japanese
The Japanese army began to shake badly!
Hasegawa Masaken understood that it was difficult for him to win today, and the group of Chinese on the other side had simply come to play with their lives. He decisively gave the order to retreat.
The 42nd Infantry Wing was defeated like a tide.
Won? Did the Japanese really win? The Chinese soldiers didn't seem to believe it
Yes, they really won!
On the evening of November 6, 1937, the 107th Division of the National Revolutionary Army took the initiative to attack and killed 531 Japanese criminals. 522 were killed and wounded.
It's a win!
Victory was originally piled up with countless human lives!
In this battle, all the officers and soldiers of the 107th Division of the Northeast Army used their blood and lives to redeem the dignity they had lost!
In this world, there is nothing more important than the dignity of a soldier!
Division Commander Jin Kuibi's hands were trembling
In the binoculars, he saw with his own eyes how his soldiers fought bravely, and he saw with his own eyes how his soldiers traded their lives for the lives of the enemy!
What a lovely soldier!
"Master's seat." Wu Qian, the commander of the 319 Brigade beside him, said in a low voice: "Are we ashamed?" ”
"Not yet." Jin Kuibi, who put down the binoculars, shook his head slightly: "Our shame will not be completely washed away until the day when the Northeast is recovered." ”
"Oh, I know." Wu Qian said lightly.
In fact, he doesn't care what the answer is. As a soldier, as long as the war is not over, you have to stay on the battlefield all the time.
Shame needs to be washed away little by little; Dignity needs to be earned little by little
"The 319 Brigade will be placed on the front line and will not be allowed to take a step back." Jin Kuibi said sternly.
"Yes, don't take a step back!" Wu Qian replied loudly and loudly.
Jin Kuibi and Wu Qian both knew very well in their hearts that with the current strength of the 67th Army, it would be difficult to hold out in Songjiang for a long time. Once large-scale reinforcements from the Japanese army arrived, the tide of the battle would become seriously unfavorable for the 67th Army.
But who cares?
Everyone here is ready to stay here.
At this time, on the opposite side, the commander of the 42nd Infantry Wing, Hasegawa Masanogen, was also looking at the opposite side with a telescope: "What kind of unit is that?" ”
"It seems to be the 107th Division of China."
"Oh, was it the Northeast Army before?"
"Yes, Northeast Army. I don't know why Lu Dao has become so brave. ”
"There are also many brave and warlike armies among the people of China." Hasegawa Masan, who suffered a lot of losses, doesn't seem to take this defeat too seriously:
"However, tomorrow we must take the position of China."
"Yes, tomorrow our reinforcements will all arrive, and the people of China will definitely not be able to hold out here for a long time!" (To be continued.) )
