readx;? In the first attack, the 23rd Brigade retreated after leaving more than 100 corpses, and Major General Ueno Kamefu launched a second attack on Huayang Town. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Although the second attack did not enter Huayang Town, the wall of Huayang Town also collapsed a section of 30 meters long, and the two sides of the third attack fought around this collapsed wall.

Repelled three Japanese attacks, the 545th Regiment suffered a lot of casualties, adding up to nearly 100 people, at the focus of the contention between the two sides, the commander of the first battalion, Liu Haifu, put a heavy machine gun and six light machine guns in one go, which allowed the ferocious firepower to completely suppress the Japanese attack. Major General Kamefu Ueno was about to organize the fourth attack, and the scouts sent to report that the 103rd Brigade had retreated from outside Songjiang County.

Ueno Kamefu didn't care about continuing the attack, and hurriedly came to the back of the team, just as Major General Yamada Toji also arrived, as soon as the two met, Major General Yamada Toji asked eagerly: "Ueno-kun, how is the attack on Huayang Town?" Ueno Kamefu replied: "Yamada-kun, I'm very sorry, the fire of the Shina defenders is too fierce, although I destroyed a section of the city wall with artillery, but the infantry can't attack the town." ”

Yamada Changji said: "Ueno-kun, there is still the Shina army behind me that is pursuing, and now only by taking Huayang Town as soon as possible can we have a foothold, so that we will not be attacked by the Shina army from both sides." In this way, I will send a large group of soldiers to the back to block the pursuit of the Chinese people, and the rest of the soldiers will also be handed over to you to command, and you must take Huayang Town as soon as possible. Major General Ueno Kamefu replied: "I understand, Yamada-kun will rest first, and I will immediately organize soldiers to continue the attack on Huayang Town." ”

After Major General Yamada sent a brigade to the rear to block the pursuers, the 103rd Brigade was left with only more than 2,000 exhausted soldiers, all of whom were transferred to the front of Huayang Town, ready to attack Huayang Town. This time, Ueno Kamefu was determined to attack Huayang Town at one time, he ordered the artillery to shoot all the shells at once, and then organized 1,500 soldiers to prepare for a pig attack.

The shelling lasted for more than 20 minutes before it stopped, and the attacking Japanese troops, ignoring the danger of accidental bombing, stepped on the shell prints and came to a place less than 100 meters away from the gap in the wall. As soon as the Japanese shelling stopped, the 1,500 Japanese soldiers lined up and shouted, "Your Majesty the Emperor!" and rushed towards the gap with their rifles.

Although the 545th Regiment had good weapons and equipment, and the soldiers were considered qualified soldiers after nearly two months of training, first, in order to avoid the Japanese shelling, the soldiers were still in the bunkers, and second, the Japanese troops had just rushed to the position, and the Japanese troops were in front of them, and this was another way of charging. So most of the fighters were flustered. Fortunately, there were still many veterans from Guangxi in the first battalion, and raising the weapons in their hands was a strafing shot.

Within a few minutes after the exchange of fire, many soldiers calmed down and joined in the shooting of the Japanese army, but the Japanese army was too close and the troops were sufficient, and after blocking for about ten minutes, the soldiers of a company here started hand-to-hand combat with the Japanese army. In hand-to-hand combat, the defenders were no match for the Japanese army, and even so, the seriously wounded defenders often had to pull the grenades on their bodies and die with several Japanese soldiers.

Soon a company of defenders was dead and wounded, and the Japanese shouted over the wall. At this time, the sound of mortar fire sounded in the town, which was the regiment commander Zhao Fei after learning of the danger at the gap in the wall, ordered all the mortars in the regiment to shoot at the Japanese army, and then brought the entire three battalions up with reinforcements. Before the Japanese troops who had crossed the wall could rejoice, they were knocked to the ground by the soldiers of the three battalions who had come up with reinforcements with intensive fire, and mortar shells also exploded on the road behind the Japanese attack.

The hundreds of Japanese soldiers who rushed into the town were completely annihilated under the walls of the town after only half an hour under the siege on three sides, and only three or four hundred Japanese troops could not attack and retreat. After the failure of this attack, Major General Ueno Kamefu was no longer able to organize an attack, so he could only go to discuss with Major General Yamada Toji about finding another way to retreat.

The officers and men of the 106th Division, which attacked from behind, could not attack for a while in the face of the blockage of a large group of Japanese troops, and the two sides held here more than 100 meters apart, and the two sides also suffered casualties on both sides, but fortunately at night, the Japanese could not shoot accurately, otherwise the casualties of the officers and men of the 106th Division would have been much more serious. The 544th Regiment, which was guarding the two roads on the left and right sides of Huayang Town, was busy for a long time, but the Japanese troops did not come to them at all, and after a few hours, they killed dozens of Japanese soldiers who had been separated at night and came to the front of the position by mistake.

After receiving the report from the reconnaissance company, all the Japanese troops pressed in front of Huayang Town, and launched a fierce battle with the 545th Regiment guarding Huayang Town, it seemed that they were bent on recapturing Huayang Town, Wei Hai, the commander of the 545th Regiment, immediately made a decision to let the 545th Regiment surround Huayang Town from both sides, so that all these Japanese troops were surrounded under Huayang Town.

Major General Ueno Kamefu found Major General Yamada and proposed to abandon Huayang Town, and then move closer to the 18th Division after a detour, but he did not expect Major General Yamada to reject this suggestion, and Major General Yamada Tsuji asked the soldiers to rest for a while, and then take Huayang Town in one go. The reason why Major General Yamada insisted on taking Huayang Town was because of his ideas.

Major General Yamada knew that the 13th Division had failed in this battle, but as an emperor samurai and emperor, he was so embarrassed that he could not be defeated even if he was defeated. As long as Huayang Town is recaptured, he will have a foothold, and he will be able to explain to His Excellency the division commander. Under this mentality, Major General Yamada will insist on recapturing Huayang Town.

Major General Yamada Toji's insistence made Major General Ueno Kamefu helpless, because there were not many soldiers left in his 23rd Brigade Regiment, and he could only obey the command of Major General Yamada Toji. While the Japanese troops were resting on the spot, the 544th Regiment had quietly surrounded both flanks, and when it was almost dawn, an encirclement had been formed, and inside the encirclement were more than 3,000 Japanese officers and men from the 23rd Brigade and the 103rd Brigade combined.

As soon as dawn dawned, two Japanese reconnaissance planes flew over Songjiang County to conduct reconnaissance flights. Wang Haitao, who was standing on the wall of Songjiang City, knew that it would not be long before the Japanese bombers would arrive, and at that time, under the cover of the Japanese bombers, the rest of the 13th Division might break through the passage and escape. Therefore, Wang Haitao rushed back to the headquarters and ordered the reconnaissance company of the 542nd Regiment to report the coordinates of the 13th Division of the Japanese Army as soon as possible, and told it to launch an attack immediately after the artillery bombardment was over, and strive to annihilate most of it. At the same time, the same order was issued to the 109th Division.

After a while, the azimuth coordinates of the Japanese army were reported through the radio, and Wang Haitao ordered the heavy artillery of the heavy artillery regiment to immediately open fire according to the azimuth coordinates. Lieutenant General Ogisu, commander of the 13th Division, who had not slept all night, and accompanied by Chief of Staff Isaburo Yan, got out of the bunker, and Lieutenant General Ogisu had received a telegram from Commander Yanagawa Heisuke last night, promising to send planes this morning to cover the 13th Division's breakthrough, and at the same time the navy's gunboats would enter the Huangpu River.

Just as the commander of the Numata Tokushige Brigade gathered his soldiers and prepared for the bombardment of the planes to launch an attack on Bridge No. 30 at the beginning, dozens of heavy artillery pieces in Songjiang County once again roared angrily. This time the Japanese could no longer retreat, so they could only scurry around, trying to hide from the shelling. How could the shelling of heavy artillery be as easy to dodge as the bombardment of 12 240 howitzers? This 20-minute shelling made the Japanese army once again crushed.

As soon as the shelling ended, one and a half brigades of the 109th Division in the direction of Songjiang County launched a charge against the Japanese [the other half of the brigade was reinforced at night], and at the same time the 542nd Regiment also launched a charge on Bridge No. 30. The flanking attacks of the two armies made the Japanese army, which was about to collapse, completely collapse. Lieutenant General Ogisu Libei and Chief of Staff Yusaburo Yan, who had escaped the shelling, fled along the Huangpu River under the protection of a group of Japanese soldiers.

Just when the soldiers of the second regiment were wrenched together and killed in one place, dozens of Japanese planes flew over the battlefield in the sky. When the pilot saw that the bomb could not be dropped at all, the soldiers of the two countries were mixed together. After circling for a while, the plane reluctantly returned. Lieutenant General Ogizhou had just left the battlefield, stopped, and breathed a sigh of relief, when some soldiers saw several gunboats coming from the Huangpu River from a distance, and everyone understood that they were saved, and they also relaxed.

Suddenly, a few crisp gunshots came, and the Japanese army became nervous again, holding their guns and looking around, but they didn't notice that the commander of the Ogishu Standing Division and the chief of staff of Yanyu Saburo twitched and fell to the ground at the same time. When the Japanese found that the division commander and the chief of staff had been shot at the same time, they began to shoot in all directions in a panic, but the crisp gunshots kept ringing out, and a Japanese soldier fell as soon as a shot rang out. In just a few minutes, dozens of Japanese soldiers fell on the banks of the Huangpu River, and at this time, a few men stood up from the grass three hundred meters away, needless to say, this is the sniper team led by Tang Yun and Tang Shu brothers.

Tang Yun and Tang Shu asked the two soldiers to be on guard, and they quickly ran to the side of Lieutenant General Ogizhou Libing, and after taking off their collar badges, badges, military ID cards and command knives and other items, they turned around and quickly left the scene again. As soon as they left, the Japanese gunboats came to the river.

The assault of the 109th Division and the 542nd Regiment also came to an end, and the brigade commander of the 26th Brigade of the 13th Division of the Japanese Army, Major General Numata Tokushige, and the wing commander of the 116th Wing, Tima Ukisa, were both killed in the artillery fire, but the other wing commander, Kuramori Gongren Daisa, escaped across the Huangpu River under the escort of his own soldiers, and at the same time several hundred Japanese soldiers escaped, and the rest of the officers and soldiers were all killed on the battlefield.

The 543rd Regiment also withdrew across the Huangpu River at this time, and everyone began to clean up the battlefield together. The war here is over, and the war in Huayang Town is about to end. As soon as the morning dawned, Major General Yamada and Major General Ueno Kamefu found that their more than 3,000 people had been surrounded by the troops of the Shina people under the town of Huayang.
