The second batch of Japanese reinforcements landed on the 23rd, and the 11th Division (division commander: Lieutenant General Yamamuro Sotake) arrived at the mouth of the Chuansha River at 0:00 on August 23, and forced a landing in the area north of Chuansha Town (under Baoshan County) at about 5 o'clock, and consolidated the landing field. With the support of the Navy and Air Force, after continuous fierce fighting, they arrived in the vicinity of Chuansha Town in the afternoon. After the landing, each section of the advance was resisted by the defenders using the fortifications of villages and towns, and the progress was slightly slow. At that time, there was only the 56th Division in the garrison area on the south bank of the Yangtze River, and the troops guarding Chuanshakou had only one company, which could not prevent the landing of the Japanese army. In the afternoon of the same day, the Japanese army occupied Chuansha Town, and a force advanced to Luodian. The unit was ordered to attack the Luodian and Jiading areas, and then advance to the Nanxiang and Gujiazhai areas, and detour to Shanghai from the west.

The landing cover team of the 3rd Division (division commander: Vice Admiral Fujita Shin) was composed of the Navy's 1st Special Marine Brigade and 1 Infantry Squadron, and after changing to landing boats, under the cover of destroyers, they marched in the dark of night to Zhang Huabang, south of Wusong Town. After the destroyers shelled the area around the Wusong wharf at the landing site with artillery, the landing cover team went ashore in the area of the railway wharf, less than two kilometers south of Wusong Town. Then the main force of the 3rd Division landed from here and developed an offensive to the area of the dock and customs dock to the south. Due to the continuous resistance of the defenders during and after the landing, the 3rd Division advanced less than two kilometers to the west after a day of fierce fighting on land on the 23rd and in the evening, supported by air and river firepower. After the landing at Wusong, the division was ordered to secure the area and prepare to attack the town of Dachang in order to occupy the area north of Shanghai and approach Shanghai, and annihilate the Chinese forces around Shanghai. With the progress of the annihilation operation, according to the situation, a part of the troops can be sent to the upper reaches of the Huangpu River to cut off the Shanghai-Hangzhou railway.

After the beachhead was secured, the second landing echelon after the two vanguard divisions (reinforcements, of course, more than two divisions), followed by the landing.

The enemy's 11th Division, which landed at Chuanshakou, attacked the Liuhe River in one section, while the main force attacked southward; With the support of shipwand and air firepower, after five days and five nights of fierce fighting with the 11th Division and the 67th Division, and repeated street battles with four battalions of the 67th Division on the 28th, Luodian was captured by the enemy's 11th Division at noon. Luodian fell on August 24 and was recaptured by Peng Shan's 11th Division that night. The next day, Luo Zhuoying ordered the 11th Division to attack the Yuepu Lion Forest to the east and hand over Luodian to Li Shufan's 67th Division. He also asked Li Shufan to divide his troops to attack the east to cheer for Peng Shan. Li Shufan left two battalions to guard Luodian, and Luodian rejoined the Japanese army at noon on August 28. Luo Zhuoying commanded the 11th Division, the 67th Division, and the 14th Division of Huo Yuzhang to storm the Japanese army in Luodian and its periphery, although the 3rd Battalion of the 79th Regiment of the 14th Division broke into Luodian Town in the early morning of the 29th, killing the brigade commander Qing'er and more than 100 people, but it was never possible to recover Luodian. (The commander of the 3rd Battalion, Li Bojun, and all the officers and men of the battalion became benevolent when the Japanese army counterattacked.) )

Guarding the triangle on the south bank of the Yangtze River north of Yunzaobang, east of Liuhe to Jiading, and Wusongkou to Liuhe, the 18th Army led by Luo Zhuoying was responsible for defense (98th Division, 11th Division, 67th Division, 56th Division). The 6th Wing, the vanguard of the 3rd Division at Zhang Huabang, encountered strong resistance from the Shanghai Police Corps, the 1st Regiment of the 11th Division, and the 2nd Regiment of the Teaching Corps. Subsequently, 1 regiment of the 36th Division and 1 regiment of the 87th Division commanded by Song Xilian continued to counterattack on the night of the 24th and 25th, and although the casualties were heavy, they finally repelled the attack of the enemy's 6th Wing and restored the first line of the Sitang River; Later, one regiment of Zhong Song's 61st Division went to Yinxing to reinforce it, and the enemy was unable to attack and formed a confrontation, while Wusong Town was still standing. Subsequently, the enemy's 3rd Division was attacked north of Wusong Town by Zhang Huabang with the 68th Wing, with the cooperation of naval ships and air firepower, and captured Wusong Town on August 31 after fierce fighting with the defenders. Subsequently, the wing immediately attacked Baoshan City.

At this point, the Chinese anti-landing operation completely failed, and it turned to the inland area and retreated. The Japanese landed without much trouble, the most dangerous stage of the beach rush was even easier, and the defenders, lacking heavy weapons, were unable to stop the attack. The fighting spread from the coastal areas to the interior.

This was the second phase of the Battle of Songhu in history, the first stage failed to eat the enemy entrenched in Shanghai, the second stage failed to prevent the landing of reinforcements, and then the battle line shifted to the southwest, and the defenders began to resist the opponent's attack.

Now that the time is back to the end of the first phase of the operation, the Central Army is still having a headache with the enemy in the Japanese concession, and at the same time it has begun to mobilize troops to deal with the landing reinforcements of the Japanese army. He was the first local unit to arrive on the battlefield, the fastest one, and his luxuriously equipped and semi-mechanized magnanimity made many people remember the new 148th Division. Even many years later, some people still remember the surprise and amazement when the "big guy" who sat in a car and pulled a cannon appeared on the stage.

A few days after wearing the hat of the "vanguard unit" of the 28th Army of the National Revolutionary Army, Wen Hui's 148th Division changed camps. On the day he arrived in Shanghai, he received an order, and now the 148th Division belongs to the 18th Army of the 15th Group Army, and the top boss is Luo Zhuoying (commander of the 18th Army and deputy commander-in-chief of the 15th Group Army), and the hidden boss is Chen Cheng (commander-in-chief of the 15th Group Army, former commander of the 18th Army).

For this order, the original old owner naturally had no opinion, and did not dare to have an opinion, it is commonplace to be dug up by the central government, and Chen Cheng is favored by the old Jiang, the 148th Division is destined to be unable to keep such an eye-catching force, but it is just a little painful to be dug up this time.

"The legendary civil engineering system!" Wen Hui was a little excited when he took the order, and the civil engineering department is also called Chen Cheng's department. The generals of this department are mainly from the 11th Division of the 18th Army, and are named after the "soil" dismantled into "11" and the wood dismantled into "18".

"Looks like teammates should be more reliable." Ryuji doesn't care about this, sooner or later he will have to stand on his own, and the most important battle at the moment, "Do we have preferential treatment?" The weapons that Big Brother Chen's descendants of the Eighteenth Army have changed are provided by us, so we take care of them somewhat. "The original German weapons could not be the turn of the Eighteenth Army, but the appearance of Wen Hui allowed Chen Cheng to earn two divisions of redress quotas for his subordinates.

"That's what people fancy about it!" There was also a small party invitation that came with the order, and it was said that it was a newcomer's reception banquet, and the people present were also people from the civil engineering department.

"Relationships are very important in mixed society, and not everyone can handle social relationships as simply and rudely as you do." Ryuji picked up the invitation in amazement, even if it was a state of war, it didn't delay their party at all.

"Let's go, let's go and get acquainted, and then talk about the Japanese landing, and make preparations earlier." Today on the 20th, the day after tomorrow, the Japanese army division will go ashore, and Wen Hui wants to see if he can find a chance to him.

"You're trying to block them on the beach?" Ryuji frowned, not knowing whether or not Hui Hui's "correct" proposal would be adopted, beachhead blocking was not a good choice, "I think this situation should let them in, it would be too expensive to fight a blocking battle on the beachhead." The Japanese not only had air support but also warship artillery support, and the main guns on the destroyers were enough for the blocking troops to drink a pot. ”

"With that strength, I also want to have a bloody beach battle," Wen Hui shrugged, "I can't block it, I can only block and delay their attack layer by layer, and prepare for the construction of fortifications in the rear, and the Chinese side has no decent fortifications in the home battle, which is also ......"

"Fortifications? Where is the time? Where is the manpower? What about building materials? It would be nice to be able to dig a trench deeper. ”

"A foreign ash company in the American Concession is willing to make some contribution to the Chinese people's just anti-aggression cause, and they are willing to sell 'some' cement to us at a low price. Deputy Division Commander Long, you just need to send someone to bring things back, the money has already been paid, and the plain concrete fortifications should be enough. As for the workers, the people in the Songhu area should not mind doing some manual labor for the anti-Japanese war, right? Wages are settled daily in fiat currency, what do you think? ”

"That's why you're pulling a few cartloads of fiat currency over?"

"Well, I don't know when I'll use it. Hurry up and recruit people, if we don't do a good job, luxury 'warlords' like us will be thrown to Luodian, Yuepu, Lion Forest, Baoshan, Wusong and other places to fight the Japanese, prepare early, hurry! Although he has become a descendant of the Central Army, Wen Hui doesn't expect those people to treat him as his own, maybe he will treat him as a consumable. He has no problem with being Japanese, but it's not okay to be commanded to death by those heads above, "By the way, prepare our meeting gift." ”

This greeting gift has been prepared for a long time, depending on who it is for.
