The place Chen Yunfa and Lei Xiong wanted to go was not the Huxi front line 15 kilometers away, but Songjiang.
In the future, Songjiang will already be a district in the metropolis of Shanghai, but now, it is called Songjiang County and is under the jurisdiction of Jiangsu Province.
Yes, Songjiang, the main battlefield that Liu Lang chose for the Independent Regiment this time, is this small county town located on the outskirts of Shanghai. Its geographical location is not dangerous at all, but it is a small county town next to the Huangpu River, about 100 meters away from the seaside.
Jinshanwei is still fifty kilometers away. During the Songhu Battle, the Chinese army did not station many troops here.
However, Liu Lang, who was far away in the military camp on the outskirts of Nanjing, stood outside the barracks, looking at his watch, and gently exhaled a white breath in the cold wind. If the wheel of history had not gone astray, the Japanese Tenth Army would have more than 100,000 troops.
, will make landfall from Jinshanwei three hours later at around 5 a.m. by taking advantage of the rising water level on the tidal shore.
In the past, the defenders of Jinshan Guard only had two infantry companies, one artillery company, and a plainclothes team of 200 people from the Military Commission Investigation Bureau. Even though they tried their best, they could not cause serious damage to the Japanese troops walking on the tidal flats. However,
Within a few hours, Jinshanwei became a landing site for Japanese troops.
The main force of the 18th Division landed east of Jinshanzui, the 6th Division and the Guoqi Detachment landed west of Jinshanwei, the 35th Brigade of the 18th Division landed at Quangongting, and then the 6th Division and its troops reached one
The Guoqi detachment of the brigade crossed the Huangpu River and marched into Songjiang County.
A Japanese army with a strength of nearly 40,000 became the straw that broke the camel's back. Hundreds of thousands of national troops were captured on the left and rear flanks, and the morale of the army suddenly collapsed. If it were not for the 67th Army, which was almost destroyed at the cost of the entire army, resisting the Japanese in Songjiang City
After three days and three nights, the so-called great rout will probably turn into hundreds of thousands of troops being surrounded and annihilated!
In this time and space, perhaps because of the intervention of his little butterfly from the future, although he was unable to directly report the possible strategic movements of the Japanese army to the Supreme Command, the Military Investigation Committee finally deciphered the Japanese army's message and judged that the Japanese army was mobilizing troops from north to south.
To reinforce Songhu, arrangements were made accordingly.
Jinshan Guard is no longer an infantry battalion, but an infantry division. The elite 62nd Division of Tao Guang's 28th Army redeployed Jinshan Guard two days ago.
It's just that it's not enough! Liu Langyao looked to the southwest. In order to protect this 100,000-strong army transported by more than 90 transport ships, the Japanese army dispatched a fleet, 200 mm naval guns and countless aircraft after dawn.
It will turn the Jinshan Guard front into a sea of flames.
How long can an infantry division hold back? Liu Lang didn't know. Even if he knew that this infantry division had fought extremely tenaciously in the past, it had severely damaged the Japanese army in both the Battle of Tianma Mountain and the Battle of Phoenix Mountain, and even more so in the Battle of Minhang.
It was the regimental commander who died in battle and the battalion commander who died in battle. But Liu Lang could not predict this battle.
He only hoped that the 62nd Division could persist a little longer.
Because Songjiang has become the last hope for hundreds of thousands of national troops. That is also the necessary price paid by China's current supreme commander for his military shortsightedness.
Although Liu Lang knows that military generals are actually very pitiful, the more qualified military generals are, the more they will become a knife in the hands of political masters, even at this moment when the country is about to be destroyed and the family is about to be destroyed. However, these generals
Don't they know? They know, including Liu Lang himself, that he can only choose to make a knife, because if he doesn't make a knife at this time, he may not even have the chance to slash the enemy.
The oven of heaven and earth is made of copper.
No one can achieve great things in this troubled world with just one move. Even a time traveler like Liu Lang, even if he has a pair of eyes to see through the fog of the future, he can only become a man who conforms to the trend of the times.
Little ants, otherwise, will be beaten to death or drowned.
However, although the ant is small, it will still be very painful when the ant opens its jaws and bites people, especially when the ant has gathered enough companions.
Liu Lang is determined to go to Songjiang, and together with the 67th Army, who must stand on the stage of history, even if the tide of history will still be captured like a crucible, crushing all the stubborn resistance who try to rebel. Liu Lang is going too.
If you don't even resist, how do you know how strong the wave of history is? Just like you already know that you will die sooner or later, then the reason why you are still tenaciously alive is the same, you have to give it a try before you are willing to do it!
Three days ago, Liu Lang had personally rushed to the Ministry of Military Affairs to ask General He for a war. He was going to lead the 23rd Sichuan Army, which had already arrived in Nanjing, to join the war in Songhu and garrison Songjiang. General He was moved and asked him to return.
The battalion is waiting for the deployment of the military committee. After all, in the face of the general trend that has already withdrawn, sending an elite member of the second-level general's command to the battlefield of Songhu in the flesh and blood mill. The old fox who has been in the officialdom for many years is not willing to be that evil person.
Yes, even if Liu Lang takes the initiative to ask for a fight.
Faced with such a complex situation at the top, even Liu Lang could only do nothing. Even a general like Yue Pengju, who reached the level of deputy military commander of the country, would be constrained, and in the end he would have to restrain himself and lose his life.
At the same time, the Yue family's Iron Army, which had been in operation for many years, also collapsed, let alone a small regiment leader like him who was not even considered a partial general in ancient times.
He could only wait.
But after waiting and waiting, I didn't get the news that he led the independent regiment to the Songhu front line, but I got the military order that another Sichuan army had arrived in Songhu to adjust the Songjiang defense. Guo Rudong's 43rd Army under Yang Sen's 20th Group Army arrived early this morning
Garrisoned in Songjiang.
Liu Lang sighed silently after receiving the news. He was frightened by the terrifying tide of history's stubbornness.
History, there is a slight deviation here. Originally, in the past time and space, the 43rd Army, which was supposed to have fought bloody battles with the Japanese invaders for several days in Dachang Luodian, only had 600 people left in the army. Although it also rushed to the rescue during the Songjiang crisis.
After crossing Songjiang, only 600 people in the entire army could stand and exit the battlefield. The 43rd Army used its maximum strength and only less than 200 people arrived at Songjiang. But in this time and space, due to delays in replenishing ordnance, the 43rd Army
The army did not catch up with the big bloody battle where they were supposed to have made the Sichuan Army famous. Their entire army remained intact as a reserve force. But now, they caught up with Songjiang, which was perhaps even bloodier than the big battle.
This time, can they still fight off one of the five divisions that performed best in the Battle of Songhu? Can they withstand the Japanese front with a strength of 40,000? Liu Lang also doesn’t know. Because the strength of the 43rd Army is really strong
Too few, even though their equipment is much better than before in time and space.
In the past time and space, the entire 43rd Army did not have a single barrel artillery. In other words, their most powerful heavy weapons were just mortars, and that was the regimental firepower, only two.
Many people may not understand what this means. In fact, if you compare the German armorers of the Central Army, you will know that Xie Jinyuan's 542nd Regiment, which belongs to the 88th Division of the Royal Forest Army, has an infantry battalion under his infantry regiment.
A machine gun company has 6 heavy machine guns and 2 mortars. In terms of regimental firepower, it has 20mm Sulotong machine guns and 37mm combat anti-aircraft guns. But this kind of firepower configuration is nothing more than a German weapon division.
They are only at the second-rate level. The two units with the highest level of equipment of the German Arms Division are the teaching corps and the tax police corps.
However, despite this, they were still at a disadvantage compared with the Japanese invaders in terms of heavy equipment such as body-barrel artillery. And that was already the Chinese army with the best equipment, and there were only two of them.
The heavy firepower configuration of the 43rd Army was not even comparable to a Japanese infantry brigade with two infantry cannons.
In this time and space, they have an artillery battalion. Twelve 75mm mountain cannons can definitely teach the Japanese army how to behave in an infantry regiment. An infantry platoon has two light machine guns, and an infantry battalion has at least 6 heavy machine guns and 2 mortars.
It is still possible to engage in an offensive and defensive battle with artillery and half an infantry brigade.
However, this time, what they have to face is not an infantry regiment, but at least an integrated Japanese division. They not only have 12 105 howitzers and 36 75 field guns, with as many as 25,000 combat personnel and auxiliary personnel, but also
There were Japanese warships on the Huangpu River and countless Japanese aircraft sorties in the sky to help.
And what about them? How many people are there? As a direct descendant of the Sichuan Army, Liu Lang knew that the 43rd Army was said to be one army, but in fact it was just an infantry division under the army. The commander of the army, Lieutenant General Guo Rudong, personally served as the only infantry division, the 26th Division.
The division commander. Moreover, as a type B organized division, the 26th Division only has 4 infantry regiments, and the entire division only has 10,000 people.
Judging from the strength and equipment, the 43rd Army's trip was unlucky.
Liu Lang now only hopes that the gang of leaders can be alert quickly after the Japanese troops land at Jinshanwei in the early morning, and quickly mobilize troops to reinforce Songjiang. But Jinshanwei is already doomed, and the refueling tactics can only make the troops gradually defeated by the Japanese army.
Terrible naval cannon devoured.
All Tao Guang's 62nd Division can do now is to hold off the Japanese army as much as possible and buy Songjiang time. It would be good to give the 43rd Army an extra half day to dig trenches and fortifications.
Several letters of request for war have been sent out, and although there has been no response yet, Liu Lang believes that the generals on the Military Commission will eventually agree. The landing of the Japanese army at Jinshan Guard early this morning was the catalyst for them to make a decision.
Just as Liu Lang thought, no one would believe how long the 43rd Army could hold off the Japanese army with one division. If we want the hundreds of thousands of national troops on the front line to retreat, someone must stop the Japanese army in Songjiang, and reinforcements are imperative.
At this time, some people took the initiative to fill the hole that was destined to die. With their political wisdom, it couldn't be easier to make that decision.
What Liu Lang is worried about now is how long Jinshan Guard can hold out, and how long Songshan can hold out. Although the independent regiment headquarters has already been mobilized and the entire army is ready to go, from Nanjing to Songjiang, due to the rampant Japanese aircraft during the day,
It was no longer possible to march normally during the day. Even if we took the train, it would take at least three days.
Chen Yunfa has already sent a telegram. They will also break out in the direction of Songjiang in the early morning of the next morning. He raised his hand and looked at his watch. It was already 3 o'clock in the morning. I guess they have already set off! Liu Lang frowned slightly. Along the way,
The Japanese army definitely faced many obstacles. It would be an extremely difficult and dangerous journey to break out of the 15-kilometer Japanese defense line and enter the Songjiang area.
Even if the Japanese army hoarded heavy troops in the west of Shanghai and Songjiang did not have many troops, it was not something they could match with less than 100 people.
However, as the strongest weapon of the independent regiment that can chase him, Chen Yunfa will not let him down! Liu Lang once again turned his eyes to the southwest and ordered in a deep voice: "The order has arrived at Captain Yu in Songjiang...
