In order to capture the White Wall House, on the 23rd, the 11th Division of the Japanese Army destroyed the position defended by the 11th Division through tunnel blasting.

This process was not smooth, the rain for several days caused the soil to be soft, and the Japanese sappers not only collapsed the tunnel, but also had water seepage, and the excavation process needed to be continuously added, so the Japanese excavation was also quite difficult.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Japanese sappers carried a large amount of explosives into the tunnel and detonated it, in a huge explosion, the outer wall of the White Wall House collapsed, and a gap appeared, and the Japanese artillery immediately fired a large number of smoke bombs near the White Wall House to cover the vision of the national army.

The 1st Brigade of the 44th Wing of the Japanese Army concentrated the strength of three squadrons, coordinated with the Japanese tank squadron that had long been assembled in Luodian Town, attacked from the gap on the periphery of the Baibi House, and rushed into the direction of the National Army.

From September 12, the Japanese army spent eleven days, relying on tunnel blasting and chariot cover, and finally destroyed the White Wall House.

With the breakthrough of Baibi House and the shaking of the defense line of the 11th Division, the 1st Brigade of the Japanese Army and the tank unit continued to attack southward to expand the results of the battle, and at the same time, the main force of the 44th Wing of the Japanese Army also began to release smoke bombs to force the crossing of Dijing and successfully crossed the Dijing River.

With the rout of the 11th Division's defensive line, the Japanese 44th Wing advanced in a big way, and the flanks of the 90th Division were also exposed to the guns of the 44th Wing.

The entire defensive line of the 90th Division was shaken, and that night, the main force of the 43rd Wing of the Japanese Army successfully crossed Dijing and occupied Jinjia Village, the forward position of the 90th Division.

The position of the newly formed company led by Xia Yuan was broken through by the Japanese army, and a company reinforced by the 90th Division suffered huge casualties, and the entire position was surrounded by the Japanese army.

The Japanese army also found that the resistance of the Nationalist army on the east bank of the Dijing River was quite stubborn, and from yesterday to today, several squadrons were successively dispatched to attack the east bank of the Dijing River, and the positions of this unknown Nationalist army troops have suffered huge casualties, from yesterday to now, the casualties have been more than 400 people, and the loss of seven tanks.

Such casualties and losses made the Japanese army have to pay attention to the soldiers of the Nationalist army on this position.

After investigation, it was found that the strength of the national army here was the size of a company, but it caused such huge casualties to the attacking Japanese army.

After laying down the west bank of the Dijing River, the Japanese army immediately surrounded the national army on the east bank of the Dijing River, attempting to encircle it and annihilate it.

That night, Xia Yuan sensed that something was wrong, the battle on the west bank had not stopped, but intensified, and immediately let the second stunned man go to investigate, and he took people to the front line to investigate, and then got a shocking news that the Japanese army broke through the defense line of the Dijing River and occupied the west bank of the Dijing River.

That is, behind them was already occupied by the Japanese army.

Xia Yuan stood on the bank of the rolling Dijing River, staring at the west bank of the Dijing River, the previous defenders had indeed disappeared, leaving only a piece of fortifications.

"Company commander, people, people?"

The second stunned man ran over, staring at the other side, his hands and feet cold.

"It is estimated that the other defensive lines have been lost, and the 90th Division has begun to retreat." Xia Yuan retracted his gaze and said, "Let's go, let's retreat too!" ”

"We fought for a day and died so many people, and this is the fall!?"

"The Japanese devils have hit!"

Everyone who received this news felt quite uncomfortable, so many people died, but they still couldn't hold their ground.

September 24th.

Night.

The newly formed company, together with the first company of the 90th Division, began to retreat.

There were only more than 70 troops left, and more than a dozen wounded, and they planned to force their way across Dijing, and halfway through the river, the roar of Japanese mortars and the roar of heavy machine guns were heard behind them.

Several thick chains of fire formed from the east bank whipped the river, and there was a muffled grunt, and some people rolled with the river, made a splash, and disappeared.

Crossing Dijing did not mean safety, and the Japanese still occupied the banks of the Dijing River, including the west bank where they arrived after crossing Dijing.

"Jap, Jap."

At the end of September, the sky was already cold, the river was cold and biting, everyone was shivering with cold, crawled to the shore, and saw the situation on the other side, everyone's hearts sank.

A group of Japanese soldiers quickly approached along the riverbank, and they spotted the newly formed company and the 1st company of the 90th Division that had just climbed the riverbank, and the two sides engaged in a fierce battle again.

After more than ten minutes, the battle ended, and the Japanese army was completely wiped out.

"Let's go!"

Xia Yuan didn't care about cleaning the battlefield, let alone checking the casualties, and ordered the living to evacuate quickly with the wounded.

The defense line of the 90th Division was crushed, and on the way to retreat, they encountered three Japanese troops one after another, and a fierce battle broke out.

Among the ruins.

They had been running for several kilometers in a row, stuck in a pile of rubble.

After making sure that the surroundings were safe, Xia Yuan arranged for the night watchman and arranged a place for the wounded to rest.

Fleeing all the way, I was finally able to catch my breath.

Some people also ignored their wet clothes, held their guns, and lay on a stone slab on the spot.

After a day of fighting, I fled all the way at night, and I was really tired, so I fell asleep while lying down.

Not many escaped, only about 30 people, more than 40 fell on the road, and some broke away from the group.

Xia Yuan also felt physically and mentally tired, lying on the ground to rest for a long time, thinking for a long time, and sighing.

"Company commander." The second stunned man ran over and said, "The monkey is gone." ”

"Monkeys?" Xia Yuan raised his head unexpectedly, his eyes moved slightly: "I know." ”

"He might"

"To each man has a life."

Xia Yuan glanced at the gray sky.

The sky was dark, and it was still possible to distinguish the dark fog, the flickering cannon fire, like lightning, accompanied by a dull roar.

"Company commander, where are we going next?" The second stunned man hugged his arms and sat beside Xia Yuan, looking at the sky in the distance.

The newly formed company was withdrawn from the front line, many people died, and Xia Yuan was also a little confused for a while.

He thought of the system task, but at this moment, Xia Yuan suddenly felt that the task had also become dispensable, Songhu would have killed so many people in the battle, would he still take them to the battlefield to die? No matter what the process is, the result is a loss.

He looked at the soldiers lying on the ground, each with a deep tiredness on their faces.

Xia Yuan looked at it, his eyes falling into deep thought.

In late September, the whole town of Luodian had been scorched to earth, and the corpses were all over the ruins, and the Japanese 11th Division did not give up attacking Luodian.

With the arrival of Japanese reinforcements, the center of gravity of the Japanese attack also tilted and began to turn to the vicinity of Liuhang.

The Japanese army's attack, just like that in the 51st Division, pushed the front forward step by step by encroachment.

The Chinese army used Hehan to withstand the Japanese attack step by step, and the defense line was still moving backwards step by step.

If you think of the Japanese devils as a flood, you have to dig deep ditches and build dikes on the road where the flood spreads.

But the bald head still ordered to 'stick to Liu Xing'.

During the Battle of Songhu, the conditions of the national army were quite difficult. The national army controls the army with military salaries and pays the troops, but in wartime, neither ordinary soldiers nor commanding generals have any salaries. The second is the problem of food, some units have not received logistical supplies for a week, and they have no money or food, and in this case, it is quite difficult for the troops to maintain high-intensity combat and fight with the Japanese devils.

But it was against this background that hundreds of thousands of soldiers of the national army were still fighting with the Japanese army to the end.

Reinforcements from all over the country are rushing to Shanghai.

The center of gravity of the Japanese attack shifted and fell on Liu Xing.

The first army of Hu Zongnan arrived in Songhu on the second day, it was engaged in a bloody battle near Liu Xing, the first army was the trump card army of the national army, and when it arrived at the battlefield, it did not lose its trump card demeanor, and the spirit of the warrior was quite vigorous, and the enemy fought hard for every inch of land, and fought hard every house, and fought for more than a week, and the position was still firmly held in his hands.

During the day, the Japanese planes, tanks, and artillery fought fiercely and fiercely, and he ordered the troops to retreat while fighting, blocking layer by layer, and consuming the enemy's edge. At night, he resolutely launched a fierce surprise attack, rushed to the Japanese position, and engaged in fierce hand-to-hand combat with the Japanese army.

In this way, the Japanese artillery and aircraft could not play a role, rushing to the Japanese devils, and they could also fight bayonets with the Japanese devils to reduce casualties.

In this way, the positions occupied by the Japanese devils during the day were recaptured by the First Army at night, and the First Army fought into a stalemate with the Japanese army, which had an all-round superiority in land, sea and air, and some positions were repeatedly fought for dozens of times, and the corpses accumulated layer by layer, and during the day, the Japanese artillery shells fell, and after the explosion, it was not black dirt that rolled up, but a bright red blood mist.

The result of such a tenacious battle was heavy casualties, Liu Chaohuan, commander of the First Brigade, and Wang Yingzun, commander of the First Regiment, were wounded, and Yang Jie, commander of the Second Regiment, and Li Youmei, commander of the Fourth Regiment, were killed. More than 80 percent of the officers and men below the battalion commander level of the 1st Division suffered casualties, and all the company commanders of the division, except for the commander of the communications company, were replaced due to casualties, while only one battalion commander of the 78th Division remained.

At the end of September, Gu Zhutong withdrew Hu Zongnan's First Army and dragged it to Kunshan for rectification.

After seven days of bloody fighting, the First Army was completely crippled and withdrew from the ranks of the ace army.

The ace army is still like this, and what about the casualties of the miscellaneous army from those places.

A division was engaged in the battle of Songhu for three days, and only one battalion of the whole division suffered casualties, and some even killed the entire division.

The battle of Songhu in three days and one division is not an exaggeration, but is supported by data.

The 67th Division, stick to Luodian, and the Japanese army dozens of bloody battles, Li Shusen was seriously injured and retreated, by Huang Wei, who had just returned from Germany, took over the command, from the 25th to the 30th, the Japanese army launched a fierce attack on the position responsible for the 67th Division, Huang Wei led the officers and men of the 67th Division and the Japanese army to fight bloodily, when the battle was the most intense, only guards, telegraph operators, men and civilians were left around him.

Huang Wei took them to the battlefield to fight the Japanese army, and almost all of them died that day.

In the bloody battle for more than a week, one of the three regiment commanders of the 67th Division was killed and two were seriously wounded, almost all the officers and men of the battalion, company, and platoon were killed, and the total number of surviving in the division was less than one regiment.

On the streets of Luodian Town, the corpses are piled up layer by layer, and the stench cannot be covered by gunsmoke.

The casualties of the 67th Division were already good among all the troops participating in the Battle of Songhu.

End of September.

Various local troops arrived in Songhu one after another.

Sichuan, Hunan, Guangxi, Guangdong, Guizhou, the Northeast Army, and the Northwest Army arrived in Songhu one after another, and they put aside their past grievances, shared the same hatred of the enemy, and went to the national disaster together.

Tao Zhiyue's Eighth Division, the Central Army adapted from the old Hunan Army, was poorly equipped, and it was still made in Hanyang in the 20s, and the whole division had no mortars, heavy machine guns, and even bayonets could not be equipped with everyone.

In the face of the aircraft, tanks, artillery, light and heavy machine guns of the Japanese Ninth Division, they swore not to retreat, fought bloody battles with the Japanese army, and resisted the Japanese army's strong ships and sharp artillery with their flesh and blood.

The Japanese army did not expect that such a backward unit with weapons and equipment could resist their attack, and as a last resort, the Japanese army could only divide its troops to attack the Epiphany Temple where the 16th Division of the National Army Peng Songling was stationed.

As a result, the morale of the fighters over there was no worse than that on this side, and in just one night, ten counterattacks were launched, causing huge casualties to the Japanese Ninth Division, and several requests for reinforcements from the line of fire, and the rear of the fire support was captured before the Epiphany Temple was captured, and the flank of the Eighth Division began to be outflanked.

The Eighth Division did not care whether you were outflanked or not, and if you came, you would have to be beaten, and it continued to stubbornly resist and contain the Japanese Ninth Division, and it held out until October 10 before retreating from the front line.

The division was reduced from more than 8,000 men before the war to 700 men, and the casualty rate reached a terrifying 91 percent.

In the battle on the line from Fuzaobang to Zoumatang, the Nationalist army suffered an average of 5,000 casualties per day.

Due to the tight front-line battle, the first army, which had been replenished for a few days in Kunshan, was pulled to the battlefield again, this time, many of the team were still recruits, and many of these recruits were pulled to the battlefield on the strong men.

It is not an exaggeration for a soldier to arrive in Songhu and his life enters the countdown.

October.

The weather is starting to get cooler.

Songhu is like a huge melting pot, devouring the lives of the soldiers who enter Songhu.

The situation of the national army was still like this, and the Japanese army was also uncomfortable.

The first two divisions to be put into operation were the 9th Division of the Japanese Army and the 101st Division of the Japanese Army, and the 9th Division of the Japanese Army attacked Fumohama, and according to the records of the 7th Infantry Wing of the 9th Division Kanazawa, during the 40-day attack, 90 percent of the squadron leaders were killed or wounded.

During the two-week battle, 450 of the 2,500 Japanese soldiers of this infantry wing were killed and 900 wounded, and the casualties rate of the soldiers was as high as 53 percent.

The Fuzaohama River is not wide, and the natural barrier has little effect, so how long can the Chinese army hold out under the bombardment of Japanese tanks, planes, heavy artillery, and even naval artillery?

In the course of several days of blockade, the corpses of the Chinese and Japanese sides accumulated layer by layer along the Fuzaobang position, and when they reached the rear, they even had to use the corpses as cover to continue the bitter battle.

From the end of September to the beginning of October, China and Japan repeatedly fought over each village and village on the land of Fumohama, which was no more than 50 kilometers long, and some villages could change hands five times a day, and even the strongest wing of the Japanese army could not occupy a position for more than five hours.

Jihad is quite important to the Japanese devils, the island countries are short of materials, and if they want to find a way out, they need to expand externally, win the holy war, occupy China, and replace the Chinese, which is the idea of the Japanese devils.

The Japanese war correspondents took a large number of photos of the holy war, which were published in the "Pictorial of the China Incident" in Japan.

However, the fact is that in the Battle of Songhu, the 9th Division of the Japanese Army, the 101st Division, encountered fierce resistance from the Nationalist Army at Fuzaobang, and suffered heavy casualties of its own.

Coupled with the recent heavy rains, the planes could not carry out air strikes for three or four days in a row, and the artillery could not open fire because the ammunition was soaked in water.

Even some of the recruits who came out of Japan really felt the cruelty of the battlefield and could not bear the mental pressure, and they used bayonets to understand their lives.

In the first battle of Fuzaohama, the Ghana Wing of the 101st Division was basically annihilated, and the entire 101st Division was also disabled, reducing two-thirds of its personnel.

The 101st Division is more like a cannon fodder division, its role is to consume the strength of the Nationalist Army for the 9th and 13th Divisions, and the 13th Division of the Japanese Army only landed on the battlefield after the Battle of Fumohama.

Early October.

Xia Yuan led the remaining troops to the south along the Luodian road, passing through Liu Xing, participating in the Liu Xing operation, and engaged in a fierce battle with the Japanese Ninth Division.

After experiencing one battle after another, Xia Yuan's own skills continued to improve.

The experience of throwing skills is almost at the full level, and camouflage, night vision, and hawkeye have all been greatly improved.

In every battle, Xia Yuan tried his best to use his skills and do his best to eliminate the Japanese army. As a result, in every battle in which he participated, the Japanese army suffered huge casualties, and in a few days, the name of the god of war was earth-shattering in the Battle of Songhu.

All the units of the national army who participated in the war knew that in the battle in which this man participated, it was very difficult for the Japanese army to break in, and they had to pay huge casualties and costs.

The new company was disabled and transferred to the rear to rest, Xia Yuan was a restless master, handed over the new company to the local troops, and left the station with a second stunned.

Fumohama.

At the beginning of October, the 101st Division of the Japanese Army launched a large-scale attack on Fumohama.

After several days of continuous attacks, only a few kilometers forward.

Xia Yuan took the two stunned people, carried a gun, followed the group of routs, and retreated from Yang Xing to the direction of Fuzaobang, the Japanese devils came from the east, fighting Yang Xing and Fuzaobang, many soldiers ran to the south, and there were still resisting troops in the south.

To the south is Fumohama.

There are also Hunan troops who have just come out of the railway station, lining up in a long and winding line along the highway to support Fuzaobang.

"Company commander, we're not going to be killed as deserters, are we?"

Mixed into the group of routs, their appearance is no different from the rout, continuous running and fighting, their clothes have long been unable to see the appearance of military uniforms, the blood clots are very thick and thick, black, ragged, and their cheeks are covered with a layer of heavy dust.

Xia Yuan fought a lot of Japanese devils, and the blood clots on his face were like calluses, and after a battle, it often seemed like he had been soaked in blood for a long, long time.

The second stunned man is still alive, as a communications soldier, he did not go to the front line to fight with the Japanese devils, but in the rear, with a rifle, shooting at the Japanese devils, there is no need to think about whether they can hit or not, their number of bullets is quite considerable, and a lot of bullets can be touched from the corpses of the Japanese devils.

Along the road, there are many corpses, some of them are sick and dead, some are injured and some are on the road, no one collects the corpses, there are many new graves on the roadside, and some soldiers are digging pits to bury the remains of the sacrificed soldiers.

Long lines of reinforcements came from the path in the other direction, mixed with the rout, but distinct.

Along the way, they encountered many soldiers being killed, and some officers did not indiscriminately shoot some soldiers on the spot.

If it is not handled well, these routs enter the mountains, then they are bandits.

"I heard that a god of war came out from the north."

"It's amazing, I've killed hundreds of little devils in the past few days, and the little devils don't even dare to show their heads."

"Do you think this man has three heads and six arms, and it sounds so terrible?"

Along the way, I heard someone discussing Yang Xing's god of war, and some soldiers who knew about it pulled their loud voices and said: "That Yang Xing God of War came from Luodian, it is said that it was a lone army, and the troops were annihilated by the Japanese devils, he took the remaining troops, and was unwilling to retreat to the rear, and wanted to avenge his troops, so he kept fighting on the side of Luodian, beat a lot of little Japanese devils, and also went to the newspaper, and then went all the way to Yangxing, and fought with the Japanese devils, and played the name of Yang Xing God of War." ”

"That's pretty impressive."

"God of War, is it powerful, it is said that he alone wiped out a thousand Japanese troops, I don't know if it's true or not."

"It's true, our company commander said that this incident has alarmed our commander, and I estimate that it won't be long before this matter will be published in the newspapers again."

The defeated soldiers also like to talk about gossip, to talk about the most, is the recent Yang Xing God of War, with his own strength, a wing of the Japanese army stayed in place for several days, the position has been firmly in their hands, a lot of deeds about Yang Xing God of War are passed on by word of mouth, but whether it is true or not, in fact, there is not much exquisiteness.

"Company commander, this is talking about you." The second stunned listened, very happy.

"Don't talk."

Xia Yuan's gaze swept the gray sky in front of him.

Approaching the Fuzaobang, the sky was raining lightly, and the rout was wet and cold.
