Chapter 129: Jiaxing Goes Ashore

readx;? More than an hour later, a complete infantry squadron of 180 Japanese troops, from the squadron leader to the soldiers, all fell on the open beach in front of the Wusongkou artillery ** camp defense line. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoThis situation made the Japanese 11th Division, from the division commander Lieutenant General Yamamuro Munetake to the 12th Wing Wing Commander Adachi 23 Sato, have red eyes, and they can't wait to rush into those forts in person and peel the Shina defenders in those forts to relieve their hatred.

Although Matsui Ishine also hated the unshatterable and indestructible fortifications of the Chinese defenders on the Wusongkou Fort, he had nothing to do. After thinking about it for a long time, Matsui Ishine decided not to make a frontal attack on the defense line of Wusongkou Fort for the time being. Instead, the focus of the attack was on the two places of Chuanshakou and the Lion Forest, where a breakthrough had already been made, and in addition, the attack was tentatively carried out on the two places of Yuepu and Baoshan.

On the third day, Matsui Ishone turned his large-caliber naval guns to carry out a large-scale bombardment of Chuanshakou and Shishilin, while the tank squadron and the ship's bombers also launched attacks on the two places. The 87th and 88th Divisions were again caught in a bitter battle. Fortunately, after Wei Erxi learned that the 87th and 88th Divisions did not have the weapons to resist the Japanese tanks head-on, he reinforced two artillery squads to the 87th and 88th Divisions respectively, and one artillery squad carried an 82 recoilless gun.

One artillery squad carried one base 30 rounds of grenades and two base 60 rounds of armor-piercing shells at the same time. Although this 82 recoilless gun was mass-produced by China in 1967, it was first-class in terms of performance and scientific and technological content in this era. For this, the 87th and 88th Divisions, from the division commander to the soldiers, were very grateful to the independent battalion.

It was as if in actual combat, after the two 82 recoilless guns directly smashed several Japanese tanks into fireballs from a distance of 200 meters within a few minutes. The two division commanders immediately ordered a company to be sent to protect the fighters of the independent battalion of these two squads and two 82 recoilless guns. Moreover, after using grenades, these two 82 recoilless guns could directly attack the Japanese troops on the beach 2,000 meters away, and the power of the shells was even greater than that of the 75 artillery guns.

The existence of these two 82 recoilless guns wiped out the advantage of the Japanese tanks. When Matsui received the report, a look of disbelief appeared on his face. The advanced weapons in their hands enabled the Imperial Japanese Army to capture only two small pieces of beachhead in a few days of attack, but they paid a huge number of casualties, even destroying more than a dozen combat vehicles, as well as the terrifying rapid-fire guns, and even the fighters and even the landing craft could be easily destroyed.

At present, Matsui Ishone has no good way to do anything other than repeatedly shelling and bombing the Chinese army's defense line with large-caliber naval guns and aircraft. On the beaches of Lion Forest and Chuanshakou, the Japanese troops of the 3rd Division were still increasing, with not only infantry, but also artillery and chariots. And again and again launched a charge against the second line of defense of the Chinese army.

At the same time, the eight freighters of the heavy artillery regiment of Wang Haitao's independent brigade also docked at the wharf in Jiaxing. Although Jiaxing Wharf is also a small wharf, because it is very close to Shanghai, this wharf usually has cargo ships docked, so the lifting and ordering equipment on the wharf is better than that of Longzhou Port. After the freighter docked, Wang Haitao took the guards to find the person in charge of the wharf as soon as possible.

When Wang Haitao showed the person in charge the transfer order of the General Headquarters of the Nationalist Government, coupled with the role of the ocean, the person in charge immediately arranged for the unloading of the ship. Wang Haitao also used the radio to get in touch with Tang Longzai, the commander of the Second Regiment, and learned that the Second Regiment had already passed Jingdezhen and was expected to arrive in Jiaxing in three to four days.

Wang Haitao, who learned about the situation, first asked the guard battalion to be in charge of guarding the entire wharf, and then took a squad of soldiers from the reconnaissance battalion to the garrison in Jiaxing to get in touch with the garrison in Jiaxing, while the other fighters in the reconnaissance battalion quickly ascertain the situation from Jiaxing to Shanghai in the squad unit. According to Wang Haitao's plan, after Tang Longzai's second regiment arrived three days later, he would immediately lead his troops into Shanghai to participate in the war.

Jiaxing was defended by a battalion of the Tenth Army under the command of General Zhang Fakui. When Wang Haitao came to the battalion headquarters of this battalion with the guard squad looking for someone to lead the way, there was only one second lieutenant leading a few non-commissioned officers here. When the second lieutenant officer saw Wang Haitao, who was wearing a major general's uniform and walking in with a guard, he stood up and was so frightened that he forgot to salute.

After Wang Haitao glanced at the second lieutenant, he asked, "Who is in charge here?" The second lieutenant reacted at this time, stood up and saluted, and said: "Report to the commander, this is the battalion headquarters of the 4th Battalion of the 2nd Regiment of the 37th Independent Brigade of the 10th Group Army, and our battalion commander is in charge here." ”

Wang Haitao returned the salute and said: "I am Wang Haitao, the commander of the Independent Brigade of the Seventh Army of the Fourth Group Army, and I have urgent business to see your battalion commander, so you can take me to see him." The second lieutenant replied, "Report to the commander, our battalion commander is not here, he has gone into the city." After hearing this, Wang Haitao frowned and asked, "Why did you go into the city?" You immediately send someone to find him back, I have military affairs to look for him. ”

The second lieutenant was silent for a long time, and he didn't say a word. Wang Haitao remembered that such a large fleet of his ships had approached the dock, and no military personnel had come to inquire about it, and on the way to this headquarters, he was singing and dancing everywhere, and he couldn't see the tense atmosphere of the approaching big war at all, and he suddenly understood a little in his heart. Suddenly, my heart couldn't help but catch fire.

Wang Haitao said loudly to the second lieutenant: "I order you to immediately send someone to find your battalion commander, if the military situation is delayed, I will go directly to your commander to reason." As soon as Wang Haitao's words were finished, a voice came from the gate: "People, let the guard platoon gather, I heard that there are several big cargo ships on the dock, go with Lao Tzu to see which fat sheep hit Lao Tzu here." ”

With the voice, a chubby middle-aged officer walked in at the door. The man was dressed in a major's uniform, but the uniform was half-open, his hat was in his hand, and he carried a pistol on his shoulder. After entering the door, he couldn't help but be stunned when he saw Wang Haitao wearing a major general's uniform inside, and then the second lieutenant hurriedly said to Wang Haitao: "Sir, this is our battalion commander Zhang." After finishing speaking, he hurriedly walked to the battalion commander and whispered a few words to the battalion commander.

The battalion commander glanced at Wang Haitao, did not salute, and asked, "What's the matter, you can tell me quickly." I still have to rush to the docks on official business. Wang Haitao forcibly suppressed the disgust and anger in his heart, and said lightly: "Camp Chief Zhang doesn't need to go to the dock, the fat sheep you are talking about is me." Battalion Commander Zhang looked at Wang Haitao carefully and said, "Brigade Commander Wang, is the road quite wide, and there are several large ships of goods." Okay, since Brigade Commander Wang has come to the door, then everything is easy to say, tell me what kind of goods are on the ship, and where do you want to send them?"
