An infantry squadron located in the center of the encirclement was completely wiped out. Except for a small number of Japanese troops on the rear flank who escaped using the cover of night and mountain vegetation, most of them were also wiped out.
Only then did Lei Xiong meet the special forces of the independent regiment responsible for ambushing the Japanese army. The force that was only more than a full infantry squad actually fired more than an infantry company, which almost blinded Lei Xiong and his first company officers and soldiers.
.
If the legendary independent regiments have such combat power, they can almost carry a Japanese division alone!
Of course, such a beautiful wish is unrealistic after all. Chen Yunfa, who finally led everyone to successfully break out of the Japanese army's encirclement, told Lei Xiong honestly that for a unit like theirs, the independent regiment would only be in their early 40s. If it were not for the sake of
To assist them, the three special teams, regarded as the sharp knives of the independent regiment, would not take the risk of being bombarded by Japanese heavy artillery.
Except for finishing up the corpses left by the Japanese army, no one went to collect any loot. Everyone evacuated within five minutes after the battle ended, and rushed to Songjiang County in a Japanese transport truck waiting for them 2 kilometers away.
.
A successful breakout does not mean that they can repair. There are new combat missions waiting for them somewhere.
From Chen Yunfa to Lei Xiong and even Cai Dadao and Niu Er, they all didn't know that since the Japanese invaders began to rush into the beach 60 kilometers away an hour ago, as dense as ants, the Songjiang they were going to was destined to be.
It became a land of mountains of corpses and seas of blood.
Whether you are Chinese or Japanese, you will taste the taste of endless death here.
Songjiang, a small county town, is destined to be recorded in history, both in the past and in this era. Each of them, whether they are carving their own name in the sky of history, or whether they are in the sky without firing a shot.
Died silently in the rumbling artillery fire, they will all be destined to become the most shining names in this war named "Songjiang Blockade" in the history of China's Anti-Japanese War.
Lieutenant Yamajiki successfully escaped in victory, and there were no more than 20 surviving Japanese soldiers who could follow him out of the Tianma Mountains.
Nakagawa Hiroshi waited anxiously in the headquarters for almost 3 hours. Until dawn, he did not wait for any telegram from Yamagishi Kiichi. The nearly 300 people he ordered to pursue the Chinese seemed to have fallen into the sea.
The droplets of water dissipated silently in the darkness, not even a telegram. However, he had no time to pay attention to that small force anymore, as the Tenth Army landed at Jinshanwei in Hangzhou Bay at 5 a.m.
From the beginning, the order to launch an all-out attack on the Chinese positions was issued from the Songhu Expeditionary Army Headquarters to all divisions.
A new round of fierce battle involving hundreds of thousands of troops from both sides is about to begin. The life and death of a small force of 300 people is not a hair in the face of this large-scale battle that is close to a strategic decisive battle.
Yamaki Kiichi was extremely grateful that the war had restarted. Otherwise, if two more tanks, an infantry squadron, and the "records" of more than 40 people under his command were thrown at him, he would probably have escaped with his life.
Even the Chinese bullets cannot dodge the Army Lieutenant General's saber.
The 36th Infantry Regiment, which had less than 200 men, has since withdrawn from the stage of history. After the Battle of Songhu, these defeated soldiers were led by Kiichi Yamaki, who had been demoted from Army Captain to Second Lieutenant, in the eyes of the Navy.
Returned to the mainland by boat. The 9th Division, known as the double wall of the empire, lost one of the four main infantry regiments in the Battle of Songhu. Before the final decisive battle in Songhu, it was reduced to the Japanese army's 20th in Songhu.
The laughing stock of more than ten thousand troops.
Yoshizumi Ryosuke never imagined that a small battle at the Four Lines Warehouse would cause him to lose a main force under his command. The so-called double-walled empire must have become a joke!
Yes, not only did Yoshizumi Ryosuke and the 9th Division become a joke in the eyes of his Imperial colleagues, but Lieutenant General Ushijima Sadao of the 18th Division who was still waiting to land on the ship in Hangzhou Bay immediately ignored him.
He ordered his subordinates not to call themselves the "Twin Walls of the Empire". Although he did not give a clear reason, anyone with a discerning eye would know that this Army Lieutenant General, who had some conflicts with Yoshizumi Ryosuke, was ashamed to be compared with that unlucky guy.
But this was not what made the 9th Division commander vomit blood the most.
.....
At 8 o'clock in the morning, Liu Lang, who was still stationed in Nanjing, finally received a military order from the Military Commission to reinforce the Songhu front line at any time. Also receiving military orders like him was the Wu Keren Department of the 67th Army transferred from the north.
Although the location of Liu Lang and the independent regiment's reinforcements has not yet been specified, Liu Lang knew very well that if Jinshan Guard Tao Guang's 62nd Division could not resist the Japanese troops that were landing continuously, then Songjiang would be the place that must be defended. Since in the past
In this time and space, the 67th Army, which was originally responsible for blocking the enemy for hundreds of thousands of national troops, still did not escape the fateful arrangement and was ordered to reinforce. There was a 90% chance that the independent regiment would join them to reinforce Songjiang.
The 43rd Army currently stationed in Songjiang City only has the strength of one infantry division and four regiments. As long as the Supreme Command is not blind, they will definitely know what the result will be when less than 10,000 people fight against at least one Japanese division.
Liu Lang issued several military orders in succession at the regiment headquarters.
"All women in the field hospital department, from the hospital guard platoon to doctors and nurses, are not allowed to accompany the army to participate in the reinforcement of the Battle of Songhu; other departments are required to bring ten days of military rations and three combat base ammunition, and no one is allowed to go out of the military camp.
In the first step, the baggage soldiers are responsible for filling up the cars with fuel. Once the military order is issued, the entire regiment will assemble and set off for the destination within five minutes; in addition, these two military orders are passed to the 23rd Army Guard Regiment."
Liu Lang used the power given to him by Liu Xiang for the first time, and notified Tang Yongming's troops who had been arriving in Nanjing for several days not far from the independent regiment's headquarters with the military order. The 23rd Army Guard Regiment led by Tang Yongming responded with the order "Yes."
!".
There are actually no seriously injured people in the field hospital. All the seriously injured in the Battle of Shanxi were transported back to Guangyuan Fortress by the supply troops for treatment. The lightly injured were basically recovered and returned to the hospital in the half month from Shanxi to Nanjing.
Headquarters. Although the order for all women in the field hospital to evacuate caused dissatisfaction among a group of female soldiers led by Jean Mi Zhi, no one questioned Liu Lang's decision.
, all read the solemn and solemn meaning.
This was the first time that Liu Tuanzuo showed his fangs with a ferocious look. Even most of the doctors and nurses did not go to the battlefield, which almost meant that in this battle, either you died or I died.
The will of Liu Lang, who has issued military orders, cannot be questioned, even by the deputy colonel Zhang Ruhao and the head of the guard regiment Tang Yongming. Liu Lang is the No. 1 officer of the independent regiment and also has the power to control the guard regiment. Even if Tang Yongming and others
People are not his direct subordinates in name.
At 9 o'clock in the morning, the entire independent regiment, which was ready to go, assembled in the military camp. Liu Lang, also wearing a military uniform and looking murderous, stood in front of everyone and issued a pre-war mobilization order.
"First of all, let me tell you some bad news. Just 4 hours ago, the Japanese army sent 100,000 more troops to Songhu. The even worse news is that the landing site they chose is Jinshan Guard in Hangzhou Bay. These days,
Battalion commanders, company commanders, and platoon commanders have taken everyone to look at the topographic map of Songhu. I won’t emphasize the location of Jinshan Guard. I believe everyone already knows the Japanese army’s intentions at this time.” Liu Lang’s eyes reflected on his face.
The faces of the officers and soldiers of the Independent Regiment suddenly tensed up.
"Yes, according to the news from the front line, the strength of the Japanese Tenth Army that landed from Jinshanwei is as high as three divisions, namely the Japanese 18th Division, the 6th Division, the 114th Division, and our 62nd Division
Tens of thousands of people are fighting hard against the Japanese landing troops to stop them. China's last air force is taking off from an airport not far away to defend them from threats from the sky. But, you should all know that ten thousand versus one hundred thousand
The result. They can't hold on for long. But they must hold on. Jinshan Guard is located on the rear wing of our hundreds of thousands of troops on the Songhu front line. Once the Japanese army lands here and marches straight in, our hundreds of thousands of troops will be attacked by the Japanese from both front and rear.
, the consequences would be disastrous.
You don’t need to guess anymore. The place our army is going to is not Jinshanwei. The 62nd Division cannot buy us so much time. We are going to Songjiang. This time, there are no special trains for our army. All trains are
It is necessary to transfer the army to the rear. The Songhu frontline army has already started to retreat from the west of Shanghai at 8 o'clock in the morning. We have to go to Songjiang on our own. Yes, only by holding Songjiang can our Songhu army of hundreds of thousands have a chance of survival.
, everyone began to retreat, but our independent regiment had to go against the current, because we have our Sichuan Army colleagues in Songjiang, because behind Songjiang, there are hundreds of thousands of our National Army colleagues and even millions and tens of millions of Chinese soldiers.
Compatriots.”
"This time, I'm afraid it's not the Great Wall or Jindong. What we are facing is just one division of the Japanese invaders, but it is very likely that they are a hundred thousand Japanese invaders. Tell me, are you afraid?" Liu Lang said metallically.
The sound echoed through the whole place, and the camp square was completely silent.
Everyone's cheeks were clenched tightly and their bodies stood straight.
Indeed, the strength of the Japanese army is terrifying to the point of shuddering. It is an army of 100,000 people in three divisions! Even though the officers and soldiers of the Independent Regiment have experienced hundreds of battles, they are still so nervous that their palms are sweating at this moment.
No wonder the regimental commander’s first order was to tell all the female soldiers and nurses in the field hospital not to join the army. That didn’t mean that they were prepared to risk their lives against the Japanese army, but that meant that they were not prepared to come back alive!
The most nervous among them is probably the 800 officers and soldiers of the revenge camp. From the battalion commander Li Keshang to the top soldiers, they carry the shame of being disarmed without firing a shot and thrown into a prisoner of war camp where they suffered bullying. The reputation of the revenge camp is
They are always reminded that they must avenge their shame, and that the shame can only be washed away with blood. But that does not mean that they should jump into the fire pit even if they see no life left!
But now, Liu Tuanzuo, the top officer of the Independent Regiment, seems to be doing this.
A few of the weak-willed soldiers were almost scared to death just listening to Liu Tuanzuo's argument that five thousand should be used against one hundred thousand, if the independent regiment had not been supported by the previous record of annihilating the 20th Division.
if.
"You damn boy, I'll beat up ten thousand little devils, and I'll beat up a hundred thousand little devils, and I'll have a big scar on my head. I'm afraid he's a little devil!" Standing at the forefront of the artillery battalion, Zhao Ergou opened his mouth.
Mouth roared.
"Fight the Japanese aggressors, defend your home and country, don't be afraid!" Zhang Ruhao, who stood side by side with Liu Lang in front of everyone, also raised his fist high to express his support for Liu Lang.
At this moment, this "Red Eagle" has no so-called political differences. He only knows that he is now a Chinese soldier. He is willing to sacrifice in exchange for hundreds of thousands of soldiers to evacuate for the next round of war. Otherwise, China will
No chance.
"Don't be afraid! We are not afraid!"
"Brother Pao, please don't show off!"
...
Led by the officers and veterans of the Independent Regiment, countless hands raised their guns high, just like they cheered for victory in the Taihang Mountains twenty days ago.
Although this time, he is about to face death.
But that is the only way for soldiers with steel and iron bones to face the coming of wolves.
