The superior soldier fell asleep again in extreme exhaustion.
Tantai Mingyue sent out her battlefield news report overnight, describing the battlefield that broke out on the front line of Jinshan Guard that no one knew about.
Although there has actually been a big cross drawn on the map by the big shots.
The defenders there have been abandoned since the military order was issued.
All their function was to stop the Japanese army for an hour or a quarter of an hour.
Including Songjiang, the so-called three-day-and-night time limit is actually just a scale drawn by the big shots on a time line that they can accept. As for whether the defenders were completely wiped out before three days and nights, that's not what they think.
It's under control.
Their only hope is that these abandoned children can play some role and allow them to recover their money as much as possible.
The hundreds of thousands of troops that are retreating frantically are their strength to maintain their authority.
However, no one expected that even an abandoned son would have his own stubbornness.
The Jinshan Guards alone had only 2,000 defenders, and they held back the Japanese Tenth Army for twelve hours.
When the Songjiang headquarters passed this information to the brightly lit theater headquarters, the livid-faced generals all breathed a sigh of relief.
The main force of the Japanese Tenth Army is still in the Jinshan Guard area, and the 67th Army and the 43rd Army have even given guarantees that they will defend until the night of the 9th.
After all calculations, there are still 96 hours left.
Looking at the battle situation of Jinshan Guard, the combat power of the Japanese Tenth Army was not as strong as expected. 2,000 people resisted for 12 hours. The 67th Army, 43rd Army and Songjiang Security Group exceeded 30,000 people, and the delay lasted for two or three days.
It's by no means impossible.
Thinking about it this way, it seems that I can do it again.
Military orders were issued one after another overnight, strictly stipulating the retreat time of all frontline units. Although it was not enough to revive the demoralized army, it was better than before, regardless of the situation, and even the machine guns of the law enforcement forces in the war zone were forced to rush forward.
The panic on the road is much stronger.
It’s not that the corps commanders and division commanders didn’t know the consequences of being completely destroyed once the road was blocked, it was just that in a crisis, no one wanted to be the last one. Now that there was almost an extra day, they felt a lot more at ease.
The wounded soldiers who were originally going to be discarded on the roadside were carried up by many battalions.
It can be said that the battle report sent by Qiang Sanwa, a superior soldier who almost escaped death, could not save the crisis, but it saved the lives of at least more than 50,000 wounded soldiers. The real contribution is no less than that of his regiment commander and nearly a thousand soldiers.
Complete the ink in Jinshan County.
After the Songjiang headquarters sent a telegram to the theater headquarters, under the command and coordination of the two lieutenant generals and the staff headed by Tang Dao, they used these rare twelve hours to redeploy the combat plan.
At Tang Dao's suggestion, the first order was issued to the cavalry units. They needed to return to Songjiang City with a temporary artillery battalion consisting of large-caliber mortars, 37mm rapid-fire cannons, 20mm machine guns and gunners.
, along both sides of the Huangpu River, to find suitable ambush locations.
Their target is the Japanese naval force that will definitely move southward along the Huangpu River overnight.
The ship's naval gun is powerful, but it needs sufficient firing angle and range, and curved guns like mortars are not very comfortable when hiding behind hills.
Although the mortar's armor-breaking power is low and cannot destroy a heavily armored light destroyer, it can still beat him to a bloody face. If you encounter small gunboats, rapid-fire cannons and machine guns are the most suitable to deal with them.
If they dared to allow the infantry to land, the strength of six cavalry companies and a reinforced infantry battalion would definitely give the Japanese army a serious setback.
Even if the Japanese infantry is stronger than expected, the cavalry can just run away with the artillery.
In short, Tang Dao's strategy for making this suggestion is to make it difficult for you, and you have to pay a price for every step forward.
What's more, using ground artillery to hit ships in the river is not Tang Dao's original invention. The force that was about to cross the river in time and space once did this, knocking down all the medium-sized destroyers with a tonnage of more than 3,000 tons in the Empire where the sun never sets.
.
Although the two lieutenants had some doubts about Tang Dao's somewhat adventurous initiative, they were eventually persuaded by Tang Dao.
The nearest distance between the Huangpu River and Songjiang is less than ten kilometers. Most of Songjiang City is within the range of the large-caliber naval guns equipped by the Japanese warships. The bombardment will not be possible with the fortifications built over ten hours.
The ability to resist.
If one artillery shell hits, it is very likely that an infantry platoon will be wiped out.
Instead of just waiting to be bombarded by Japanese ships like this, it is better to follow Tang Dao's idea and take a chance and hit the ships heading south along the Huangpu River before the main force of the Japanese army arrives.
Tang Dao's combat plan is codenamed "Big Stick".
If this stick is successfully smashed, the Japanese warships will naturally not dare to act unscrupulously, and the threat faced by Songjiang will be reduced accordingly.
If it can't be done, the worst result is that six cavalry companies and some artillery will suffer heavy losses, and more than 30,000 people will die here. Are you still afraid of this?
This means that the two of them are determined to fight for their lives. If the two armies were evenly matched, the two lieutenant generals would never make such a risky move.
They are soldiers, not gamblers, and they will never make a bet on turning bicycles into motorcycles easily.
Fortunately, Tang Dao convinced them, and he felt relieved.
In the past, the Huangpu River was not peaceful and allowed Japanese light destroyers to wreak havoc.
China's already small air force was dispatched in this battle and dropped bombs that seriously damaged a warship. However, dozens of Japanese HNA fighter jets arrived from dozens of kilometers away, and the Chinese air force suffered another heavy blow.
In the Battle of Songhu, China's 700,000 elite army fought bravely and tenaciously, but among all the troops participating in the battle, they were not actually the most heroic group.
The most heroic group is also the weakest group.
Chinese Air Force.
China was the first military service to withdraw from the war.
With 300 vs. 2000, the lagging Hawker III faced the Japanese 96 fighter jets that were clearly ahead. In less than a month and a half, the Chinese War Eagle was almost no longer visible in the sky above Songhu.
Not retreating, but nearly annihilating the entire army.
Those soldiers from well-known families, with their heroic feats of spilling blood in the sky, fulfilled the motto of Hangzhou Miqiao Aviation School: Our bodies, aircraft and bombs will perish together as the enemy's warship position.
Perhaps, that is the most unique school in the world. Its motto is to teach its students to die. I wonder, is there another school like this in the world?
No, throughout human history, it has never happened.
But he really existed, and he existed in the most turbulent and greatest era in China. The students of that school lived up to the teachings of their alma mater.
During the entire Patriotic War, a total of 4,321 Air Force soldiers died in the sky across the country, and as many as 1,700 of them came from that school.
In their graduation photos, they will always stand in front of the school motto that tells them to die. Then without any hesitation, they embark on the journey and embark on the road from which they can never return.
Those who can control airplanes must have received higher education. They could have relied on their good family backgrounds and used their good talents to do a job that would not be too tiring, but those people still chose to become the ones with the highest combat death rate.
warrior.
They died, but Tang Dao remembered them.
He did not want these remaining flames to come to Songjiang to die. Their airport had been moved 300 kilometers away, but Songjiang was less than 100 kilometers away from the Japanese aircraft carrier parked on the sea.
Therefore, he must first kill those guys who are running rampant in the river.
In addition to sending the most mobile cavalry to fight the ambush of Japanese light ships, the two lieutenant generals also issued a military order for the entire army to rest for four hours.
When Tang Dao led his team to arrive, they had already started building fortifications. It had been up to 16 hours now, but many soldiers had rested for less than two hours. The 67th Army even went to work after marching for 10 hours.
The human body has limits.
More than a hundred people have fainted from exhaustion on the construction site.
With these precious twelve hours, they could finally let their soldiers take a break.
After the military order was given, within five minutes, Songjiang fell into silence. Except for the snoring of a few people from exhaustion, everyone from the general to the soldiers fell into a deep sleep.
Just sleep in a relatively dry corner of the construction site with our clothes on. The night temperature in the late autumn in the southeast has dropped to seven or eight degrees, which is already considered cold. Then you will be next to me, and I will be next to you, cuddling each other to sleep.
No one wasted time. Four hours later, in the early morning, they would continue to get up to complete the unfinished fortifications and wait for the arrival of the Japanese army.
Tantai Mingyue reporter told everyone on the radio half an hour ago: "Jinshan County has fallen when night falls."
