In view of the possible landing point of the Japanese army, Zhang Zhizhong made his deployment at the meeting: "The 36th, 87th, and 88th Divisions, the 20th Independent Brigade, the Security Corps, and the 2nd Regiment of the Teaching Corps, which were fighting frontally at Hongkou and Yangshupu, were placed under the command of Wang Jingjiu, and he was appointed as the commander of the enemy in front of Songhu, and ordered to hold the original position on the front, and the 2nd Regiment of the Teaching Corps to resist the enemy of Zhang Huabang. The 87th Division transferred the 1st Brigade to support Wusong, and the 98th Division was withdrawn to order the advance to the line of Baoshan, Liuhang, Yanghang, and Luodian, and the division commander Xia Chuzhong commanded the division and the 11th Division to resist the enemy on land. ”

Although Chen Cheng agreed with Zhang Zhizhong's deployment, he believed that the main threat at present was the newly landed Japanese army, and Zhang Zhizhong's troops used to resist the landing were too small to concentrate troops and form a key point, so he put forward his own deployment plan at the meeting: "1. The Songhu Siege Army was under the command of Commander-in-Chief Zhang, and it still continued to attack, and at the same time made preparations for holding on to the original attack position. 2. The 11th, 14th, and 56th Divisions of the 18th Army were under the command of their posts, and were to be annihilated by the enemy who had landed along the river. 3. The 11th Division, the 67th Division, the 98th Division, and the 16th Artillery Regiment were the right flank armies, under the command of Zhuo Ying, the commander of the Luo Army, and carried out a war of annihilation against the enemy who landed in Lion Forest. 4. The 56th Division and the 14th Division were the left flank armies, under the command of Commander Liu and Ding, cooperating with the right flank army to attack, and guarding key points along the river west of the mouth of the Liuhe River to block the enemy's landing. 5. The 6th and 51st Divisions are located in the areas on both sides of the railway between Nanjing and Suzhou, and are the general reserves. ”

Big Boss Chen didn't want something to happen to his "rich man", so he didn't transfer Wenhui's 148th Division to the front line. Instead, he was placed in the Luodian area in the rear, and let him be responsible for the local defense and support for the Yuepu and Baoshan areas, to be honest, he didn't expect Wen Hui's men to have much combat effectiveness, as long as he could ensure the supply of materials for the 18th Army, Chen Cheng didn't have too many requirements for the 148th Division.

The top line is the elite of the 18th Army, and troops like Wen Hui with too many uncertain factors were put behind as reserves, which was originally the kindness of Big Boss Chen, who would have wanted to throw the 148th Division into a not very good position.

Pengshan's 11th Division defended the Shishilin Fort (northwest of Baoshan City), East Zhangjiazhai, Shengqiao, and Zhangjiazhai.

Li Shusen's 67th Division defended the west of Chuanshakou to the bank of the Liuhe River and the Xujia Jacket, Xinzhen, and Zhujiazhai areas.

Liu Shangzhi's 56th Division defended the area along the river north of the Liuhe River (river name).

Xia Chuzhong's 98th Division, facing the enemy of Wusong, defended Baoshan City, Yinjiazhai, Hujiabang, Yanghang, Gucun, Jifuqiao, Caijialong, Liuhang, Zhoujiawan, Guangfu, and Hengshiqiao areas north of Yunzaobang, west of Wusong, and south bank of the Yangtze River.

Wen Hui's 148th Division has some defensive areas overlapping with the 67th Division, but he is still a second-echelon unit, if the battle is not fierce, he may not have a chance to play, but unfortunately, this time the opponent is not good.

"Hurry up and arm, the vicinity of Chuanshakou is all flat land, there is no dangerous terrain, the Japanese come from the sea, and the 67th Division will definitely block it." With his subordinates in a hurry, he rushed to Luodian, he was really afraid of something.

"Yes!" The boss didn't fully believe Wen Hui's intelligence, and paid more attention to the Baoshan side, and the troops arranged in Chuanshakou and Liuhe were obviously insufficient.

The battle on the Hongkou side attracted the Japanese fighters to the past, thanks to which the 148th Division could use the speed of the wheels in a bright way, and arrived at Luodian Town at 18 o'clock in the afternoon of the 21st.

"Evacuate the people and tell them that there is going to be a war and that it is not safe here. If you can't persuade you to leave, you will start driving people away! When I arrived at the place, I saw that there were still crowds watching the excitement, Wen Hui was speechless for a while, what was about to come was a group of birds and beasts, you stay here and wait for death!

"Division commander, we are going to build three lines of defense with Luodian as the core, two regiments will be put into defense, and one regiment will be used as a reserve; Some of the houses in the town had to be torn down for fortifications, and some of the buildings that could have been used as targets for enemy shelling also had to be demolished......"

"Let it go, you don't have to worry about the rest!" Wen Hui has never interfered in military deployments, "I need to see a complete defensive position tomorrow." ”

"Understood." Ryuji saluted and turned around and went out to arrange defenses, and the most important task at the moment was to build the position.

After the soldiers of the 148th Division got out of the car, the first thing they did when they put down their bags was to dig trenches with sapper shovels, and Luodian and the surrounding area suddenly became a large excavation site; Coupled with the steady stream of cars coming in from behind to recruit workers and cement, there is a trend towards the construction site.

There is not enough barbed wire, but there are a lot of log structures of deer and horses, buried in front of the position to how much can start the role, foxholes are formed, and then connected to each other, and then a simple trench is formed, and then it is necessary to use logs, cement, sandbags and other things to build and reinforce, especially machine gun nests and other fire support points, which need to be protected, cat's ear holes, battalion and company headquarters command posts, logistics materials stacking ground...... The functional divisions of the individual trenches gradually took shape.

Most of the civil work on the outskirts of the town was handed over to hired workers, with officers only needing on-site guidance, while soldiers did it themselves in the town, and the various types of bunkers needed for street fighting had to be built by the users themselves according to the terrain. And the divisional artillery is not idle, and the workload of on-the-spot topographic mapping is not small, and the infantry is waiting for their fire support when the battle starts, and the calculation of the shelling Zhuyuan cannot be wrong.

"Division commander, our mine ......"

"It's arrived, the third convoy is unloading, you guys take someone to get it."

"Division commander, mortar shells have arrived, where are they unloaded?"

"Go to Xiaobing, he's arranging a logistics storage point......"

The brightly lit headquarters was racing against time to make pre-battle preparations, Long Si was arranging the battle plan with the three regiment commanders and a group of staff officers, and Wen Hui was in charge of logistics. Seeing that the position was taking shape little by little, and the materials were gradually in place, Wen Hui was somewhat relieved.

"Commander, they don't want to go." Cheng Jun walked in, his face was not good, the town's defense work was in trouble, no one took care of the forts on the streets, but some houses had to be demolished, and the people here were unwilling, and they were noisy and blocked there to hinder the progress of the work.

"Make it clear to them, this is not a warlord war, this is a race war, be reasonable and use money to solve the problem, go quickly!"

"But the crowd ......"

"Then solve the problem with guns and give them face, they really think that the army is reasonable?! Those who dare to get in the way will be expelled, and if they dare to splash, then greet with bullets, and there must always be a little bloody sacrifice before the war! "There are some bastards who don't know what to do anywhere, Wen Hui knows what these people think, it doesn't matter if the army is defeated, it's just a change of master on the top of their heads, they do the same, business is done, and life is done. It would be nice to be able to make a little extra money here. The shrewd abacus of the little citizens is indeed good, but when the Japanese bayonets stab me, I wonder if these people can use calculations to save their dogs' lives!

"Yes!"

"Wait a while, if you are willing to cooperate, then be gentle, and give compensation to Qi, and the fiat currency will soon become waste paper, don't instigate. This is a mess, and there is no home, and a little money can be used to settle down a little bit. ”

"Got it."

A group of civilians dragged their families and evacuated from the town with large bags and small bags, all of them looking at the army that had turned their homes beyond recognition. There is understanding, there is resentment, there is confusion, there is helplessness, there is fear, but there is no sadness, and there is still a sum of money to get when you leave home temporarily, which is more or less a good thing, and you can come back when the war is over.

Wen Hui looked at the crowd of people who dragged away expressionlessly, there was no need to explain at all, it was a waste of saliva to say it, they had never seen the cruelty of the devil, they would only treat Wen Hui's explanation as an exaggeration. But it doesn't matter, time will tell.

"Take a break." Ryuji handed over a cup of coffee, "The trench is largely completed, as long as the soldiers trim it, and when the cement is dry, the trench will be completed." Light and heavy machine guns, mortars have entered combat positions, and artillery in the rear is also on standby, we have already taken the lead in occupying a defensive position, and now we are close to fighting the Japanese. ”

"You star, I'll squint for a moment." Looking at the white belly of the fish on the horizon, Wen Hui, who had not closed his eyes all night, decided to sleep for a while, although the 11th Division was stationed in the Lion Forest Fort and Baoshan in advance, once the offensive and defensive battles started, the next few days would not be easy.
