"Yang Jing is really a pillar of our party and country!" Chen Cixiu exclaimed from the bottom of his heart, and then ordered: "Now my main force has basically withdrawn from the Songhu battlefield, and the post-blocking mission of Hu Ben Camp has been basically completed!

Immediately generate electricity for Yang Jing and Wu Jingshan, and let them withdraw from Songjiang at 12 o'clock tonight, alternately cover and retreat, and quickly rush to Taicang!"

Zhang Wenbai said: "I think there is no need to stick to it," said Ci Xiugong.

Judging from the speed of the Japanese army's advance, Taicang may have been captured by the Japanese army when the Huben camp arrives.

So, is it safer to let the Huben Camp and the 67th Army directly enter Kunshan to block the pursuit of the Japanese 16th Division?"

Chen Cixiu stood up, turned around and walked to the military map hanging on the wall. He carefully studied and found that, indeed, after the Huben Camp evacuated from Songjiang, he might not have time to rush to Taicang to help.

So he nodded and agreed to Zhang Wenbai's suggestion: "Well, Brother Wenbai is right."

Luo Youqing frowned and said with concern: "Sir, now my guard troops have basically retreated to Kunshan to Suzhou.

Judging from the terrain, Songjiang will soon be trapped in the 10th Japanese Army and the Shanghai Expeditionary Army!

I am afraid that the Japanese army will siege the Huben Camp and the 67th Army and will not give them a chance to escape."

When Chen Cixiu heard this, his mood became heavier. Indeed, judging from the current battlefield situation, it is basically impossible for Yang Jing's Hu Ben Camp to escape without hesitation.

However, when Chen Cixiu thought of how many beautiful battles Yang Jing had fought before, he was full of confidence. There was no way. At this time, he had no choice but to believe in Yang Jing.

Chen Cixiu knew that Luo Youqing valued Yang Jing, so he spoke: "Youqing, now that things have come to this, we can only hope that the Huben Camp can create another miracle. I believe that Yang Jing will be able to shoulder the heavy responsibility and live up to the trust. He successfully led his troops to break through the encirclement and shoulder the important task of blocking the 16th Division of the Japanese Army!"

Luo Youqing was speechless and nodded slightly. After pondering for a moment, he said, "What the sir is saying is, but, in order to ensure that everything is foolproof, I don't think we can place our hopes entirely on the Hu Ben Camp. If the Hu Ben Camp fails to evacuate from Songjiang in time, the situation will be out of control.

So, I think it is necessary for us to send a force to enter Kunshan in advance and stick to Yang Jing's troops!"

Chen Cixiu looked around and asked, "Which unit is the closest to Kunshan now?"

Luo Youqing said: "There is a Sichuan military advisor who just retreated to the Kunshan area."

"Chuan Army?" Chen Cixiu said: "Immediately send a power to this Sichuan Army advisor and order them to enter Kunshan, first resist the Japanese attack, and stand firm until Yang Jing's troops arrive!"

...

The picture is pulled back to Songjiang.

The Japanese bombing was over, and the entire Songjiang City was almost razed to the ground, with architectural ruins, ruins, and various bricks and rubbles everywhere, almost covering the streets and alleys of all sizes in the city.

Some private buildings are still burning, and blue smoke is coming out.

The position in the south of the Huben Camp was destroyed. The dense artillery fire of the Japanese covered the land here for many times.

The huge craters were one by one, covering the area.

As for the trenches and fox pits dug before the Hu Ben Camp, they were filled with soil, sand and gravel caused by shells.

...

At Songjiang Wharf, within the temporary command of the 6th Japanese Division, Tanisuo had received an emergency telegram from the 10th Army Command.

The commander of the 10th Army, Yanagawa Heisuke, first made a harsh wording and criticized Tani Shouo for bringing tens of thousands of imperial troops, as well as advanced weapons and equipment such as heavy artillery and naval carrier-based aircraft groups. It took him two days to fail to capture the small land of Songjiang.

After a reprimanding, Yanagawa Heisuke ordered Tani Shouto to take down Songjiang before dawn tomorrow, otherwise he would be severely punished.

After being trained, Tani Shouo was even more angry. After the artillery fire and air bombing, in addition to allowing the cavalry and engineers corps to block and intercept the periphery, as well as acting as garrisons in artillery positions and commands.

Almost all the two brigades under his command, the remaining 7,000 Japanese infantry, were dispatched out. Taking advantage of the remaining power of his own firepower, the troops divided into different directions and launched the most fierce attack on Songjiang City.

"The Great Japanese Empire is on board!"

"His Majesty the Emperor" is on-load!"

"Kill the chicken!"

Thousands of Japanese soldiers came all over the mountains and fields, shouting slogans that shook the sky.

The bayonets, under the sunlight, exuded a creepy cold light. Their sound was so huge that it was like Mount Tai pressing its head, giving people a great sense of oppression.

Underground air raid shelter, Huben Camp temporary command center.

After the Japanese artillery and air strikes ended, Ma Tong, who was responsible for reconnaissing the enemy situation on the ground, immediately returned here and reported loudly to Yang Jing: "Battery Commander, the Japanese have started attacking again."

Yang Jing asked: "How many people did the Japanese mobilize this time?"

Ma Tong said with a serious expression: "Looking at the sight, there are countless, and there are no less than 3,000 Japanese soldiers pushing towards the south of the city.

With the Japanese in other directions, I guess the main force of the 6th Division of the Japanese Army should have come out in full swing!”

Yang Jing frowned and thought for a while and said, "Order the frontier troops to hide in the underground air defense tunnel and let the Japanese enter the positions and urban areas! Without my orders, no one can open fire or expose the target!"

"yes!"

Ma Tong saluted and immediately took the order to leave.

Yang Jing looked at the deputy battalion commander Ma Haifeng and said, "Deputy Battalion Commander, please call the city immediately and tell Commander Wu Jingshan about our combat plan.

He asked him to give up his field positions outside the city, withdraw all his troops into the city, rely on the buildings in the city, block the enemy from the front layer, and fight street battles with the Japanese!

When the time is right, our troops will attack from all over the tunnels, attack them from front to back, and join them in annihilation of the invading enemies!"

"Yes!" Ma Haifeng responded, immediately came to the phone and started making calls.

It is worth mentioning that the Huben Camp is highly valued by the chairman, so each company has equipped a telephone to facilitate Yang Jing's command and operation.

This time, without the blockade of the Huben Camp, the Japanese attacking troops lived up to expectations and rushed into the frontier positions of the defenders easily.

Tani Shoufu held up the telescope and saw it in his eyes. His face, which had been tense, finally showed a long-lost smile: "Yo Xi! The Chinese army can't resist it anymore! It seems that we must fully utilize the artillery advantage of the Imperial Army to deal with them!"

Chief of Staff Shirō Ichikawa was also in a good mood and smiled and said, "I think that the artillery bombardment and bombing of the Imperial Army will inevitably cause a devastating blow to the Chinese army." As he said that, he pointed forward and continued, "Secretary Commander, you see, the attacking troops of the Imperial Army have almost never encountered any resistance!

Therefore, the judgement of the humble judgment that the Chinese army should have suffered heavy casualties and were forced to retreat into Songjiang City!”
