The Eighteenth Army and the Seventy-fourth Army in Luodian were just miserable, and they could still insist on continuing to fight the devils, but at this time, Baoshan had already entered despair.

From the night of the 5th to the early morning of the 6th, the devils attacked more than 10 times in a row, but they did not capture Baoshan, so they carried out retaliatory artillery bombardment on the Baoshan position, firing a large number of sulfur bombs and incendiary bombs, and the defenders fought fiercely with the enemy in the smoke. By the night of the 6th, the positions outside Baoshan City were completely destroyed by artillery fire.

At dawn on September 7, Yao Ziqing commanded the remnants of the army to continue to hold on to the city, but what they waited for was the devil to cover a large number of infantry attacking the city with tanks as the lead.

"Boom, boom......"

The fragile ancient city wall of Baoshan has long been blown out by the artillery fire of the devils, and now even the sandbags and piles have been blown open, and the devils' tanks and infantry have swarmed into the city from the gaps, and Baoshan is in danger.

Once Baoshan falls, it means that Zhang Huabang, Wusong, and Lion Forest, which are occupied by the devils, will be connected, and the devils will have a large area of depth, and the Chinese army's strategy of driving the enemy to the sea can no longer be implemented, and the next will be Yuepu.

"Rush!"

In the direction of Luodian, the Chinese army did not stop attacking because of the shelling of the devils, they were still moving forward bravely, using blood and corpses to capture one defense line after another of the devils, and the Asama detachment of the devils was also constantly increasing troops, trying to hold Luodian, but in the street battles, the defense line was constantly broken by the Chinese army.

At 4 o'clock in the afternoon, the news of the fall of Baoshan reached the ears of Luo Zhuoying, commander of the 18th Army.

"Bang!"

Luo Zhuoying's fist slammed on the wooden table, his blood-red eyes stared at the direction of Luodian, an hour ago, the attacking 74th Army and the 18th Army had captured two-thirds of the area of Luodian, and at the latest evening, the entire Luodian would return to the hands of the Chinese soldiers, but now there is no chance!

"Order the troops, withdraw!"

Luo Zhuoying closed her eyes helplessly, and tears kept pouring out.

"Commander, we still have a chance! Why withdraw? The chief of staff was just as unwilling and persuaded Luo Zhuoying.

"Baoshan is lost, the Japanese army is attacking Yuepu from the north and south, how long do you think the 98th Division can hold out, not to mention, the Japanese army's reinforcements from the north of Luodian can continue to enter Luodian, they can also divide their troops, interspersed from the east and south of Luodian, and if they don't withdraw, the 18th Army and the 74th Army will all be surrounded by devils in Luodian! This is not something we can afford to lose! ”

Luo Zhuoying closed his eyes and said helplessly, the situation in the entire Luodian area was put into his mind, and he now knew that the situation had taken a turn for the worse without looking at the map!

"Hey!"

The chief of staff was helpless, turned to the signal corps, and ordered a retreat.

The 11th Division, which suffered heavy casualties, finally withdrew from Luodian under Luo Zhuoying's care, withdrew across the Tanjia Bridge, built a defensive line in the southeast area of Luodian, and worked with its brother troops to block the invading Japanese army.

On September 7, the Japanese army merged the Asama detachment, which had suffered heavy casualties, into the newly reinforced Tiangu detachment, and prepared to launch a fierce attack on the town of Yuepu in order to open up the link between Wusong and Luodian.

On September 9, still under the cover of the air force and naval artillery, the Japanese launched a continuous onslaught on the outer line of Yuepu, and the battle was fierce. The 98th Division and the newly arrived 1st Division coordinated with each other and fought back. The two sides fought for a day.

On September 11, the Japanese army concentrated its forces to attack Yuepo. After dawn, the Japanese army first covered it with firepower, so that many of the fortifications on the periphery of Yuepu Town were destroyed, and the position was broken through by the Japanese army. The defenders retreated into the town and engaged in street battles with the enemy until late at night, and after 6 days and 6 nights of bloody fighting, Yuepu and Yangxing finally fell.

The 1st and 78th Divisions retreated south of Yanghang. At this point, the tide of the battle was reversed. This was the end of the battle of the Chinese army against the Japanese landing force.

The Nationalist Army successively invested 9 divisions and fought a bloody battle for 20 days, but finally ended in defeat after the Japanese army captured Luodian, Lion Forest and Baoshan.

From then on, the Japanese troops who landed occupied a stretch of land along the Yangtze River that was 50 kilometers north and south and about 20 kilometers deep from east to west, controlled the mouth of the Yangtze River and the Huangpu River, as well as various wharves, and had established contact with the Japanese troops guarding Yangshupu and Hongkou in the urban areas of the military industry road and the new urban area, and the Japanese troops were connected in a line. In this regard, the national army switched from offensive operations to defensive operations on the Songhu battlefield.

Beginning in the early morning of September 12, all units of the 15th Group Army adjusted their fronts in accordance with Chen Cheng's orders and built a new defense focusing on Liu Xing and Guangfu. The whole army retreated and guarded the line of Liuhe, west of Luodian, Shixianggong Temple, Guangfu, and Nanxiang. The Japanese army launched a pursuit, but unexpectedly, the national army took turns to cover, not only completed a new defensive line, but also attacked the pursuing Japanese army head-on. Coupled with the fact that the follow-up troops of the national army rushed to the front line one after another, the Japanese army was still in a bitter battle.

The 11th Division, which had been repaired on the second line, finally got peace, and in the fierce battle, Luo Zhuoying never sent this unit that had been fighting hard for nearly a month to the front line.

The place where Feng Ye was lying was really called the lightly wounded barracks, hundreds of lightly wounded people, just a doctor, I couldn't see a few, most of them were nurses who came to support, taking care of the lives of the lightly wounded, waiting for the wounds to scab over.

"It's time for a dressing change!"

A nurse came with a plate on which the wounded soldier drooled.

"Don't waste it, I don't have to wipe it! Give me a sip, just a sip! ”

A wounded soldier laughed and looked greedily at the alcohol on the nurse's plate.

"It's not wine, it's alcohol, for you to clean your wounds! Can't drink it. The nurse shook his head and refused the wounded soldier's request.

"Why is it bleeding again? Didn't I tell you? You can't scratch the wound when it's itchy, you want to get infected! Your entire leg will be chopped off by then! Do you want someone to tie you up? ”

The nurse opened the gauze on the leg of a wounded soldier and found that the wound had cracked again, leaving many scratches around it, and helplessly reprimanded the wounded soldier.

"I can't stand the itch......"

The wounded soldier said to the nurse with a bitter face that the wounded soldier who can endure the pain may not be able to endure the itching pain when the wound scabs over, and this itchy feeling to the bone can make the brothers restless.

"Okay! Wait! ”

The nurse was helpless, and then ignored the wounded soldier and went to change gauze for the other wounded soldiers. An hour later, an officer came with a few brothers, rope and cloth in hand, and under the guidance of the nurse, tied all the brothers who owed money to the improvised bed.

"Company commander, I promise not to bend, you let me go!"

The wounded soldiers began to beg for mercy, and if they were tied up, they would not be able to eat, drink, and Lazar at all, it would be better to live than to die!

"It's late, who told you to hold back, now it's up to you how you fish!"

"You all remember to the labor and management, if anyone keeps greeting, they will be treated like this!"

The officer shouted and reminded the wounded soldiers around him.

"Hey!"

The wounded soldiers sighed one by one, glad that their wounds had not been scratched open by themselves.

Feng Yi's whole body was wrapped with gauze, from the neck down, it was basically gauze, in that cruel hand-to-hand combat, the devil's bayonet left a large number of wounds on his body, and the outside of his legs could no longer see the complete skin, and now the whole person was wrapped.

"It's okay, the wound on the back has scabbed, you bear with it yourself, the small wound is slowly healing, and the big wound will have a chance to get better, don't learn from them, you must endure the itching!"

The doctor patiently reminded Feng Ye that there were so many wounds on this soldier's body, but there were very few serious wounds that were more than five millimeters raw, there was no doubt that this was an agile soldier.
