The attack of the 1st Infantry Battalion of the 19th Infantry Regiment was once again disrupted by the patrol battalion. Of the more than 200 people from the 1st Infantry Squadron who went into the attack, only less than 20 people escaped alive.
"idiot!"
"idiot!"
"You actually have the nerve to come back to see me alive!"
"Why don't you die? You die for me!"
The captain of the 1st Infantry Battalion, Ishihara Shinya, was like a completely enraged bear. The veins on his neck were bulging one by one. He was spitting wildly at Takeo Nakajima's face. While spitting, Ishihara Shinya
He also fired his bow from left to right and slapped Nakajima Takeo on the face, but Nakajima did not dare to say a word.
After scolding for a moment, Ishihara Shinya was hesitating whether to let Nakajima Takeo charge again when he suddenly heard the sound of chaotic footsteps behind him. Looking back quickly, he saw the ninth division chief of staff, Nakagawa Hirotaro, standing in front of the company commander.
Hidezo and several other captains came over, and Ishihara Shinya quickly stepped forward, put his feet back and nodded.
"Shinya Ishihara!" He was still more than ten meters away, and he roared angrily when he saw Hidezo, "Aren't you a top student who graduated from mainland China? Aren't you a shogun? You don't have a family background.
Have you read enough military books? Why has it been so long that even the small Wuchang Road cannot be opened?"
"Hai!" Although Ishihara Shinya was not angry, he did not dare to make any excuses.
Hitomi Hidezo strode up to Ishihara Shinya, stared at Ishihara's handsome face fiercely, and wanted to slap it, but in the end he didn't dare to make a mistake. After all, Ishihara Shinya is still a member of the Ishihara family.
My dear son, if this slap goes down, Hidezo's future in the military will probably be over for others.
I don’t dare to slap someone in the face, but I am sure to ridicule him a few times.
As a result, Hidezo continued to spit on Ishihara Shinya's face.
In the end, Nakagawa Hiroshi couldn't stand it anymore and advised him: "Renjianjun, I'm afraid now is not the time to hold people accountable, let alone vent your anger. The top priority is to quickly open up Wuchang Road and completely eliminate those who are besieged on North Suzhou River Road.
The main force of the patrol battalion is serious, so..."
Before he finished speaking, a faint sound of gunshots suddenly sounded from the direction behind him.
Nakagawa Hiroshi's voice immediately stopped, he turned to look in the direction behind him, frowned and asked: "Where did the gunshot come from?"
Shinya Ishihara listened for a moment and whispered: "The gunshots seemed to come from the Burton intersection, but there was no fighting there at all. How could there be gunshots?"
When people saw Hidezo and the other infantry captains, they also had blank faces.
Just when Nakagawa Hiro and the others were confused, a signal soldier suddenly ran over in a hurry.
"Captain!" The signal soldier ran up to Hiuzou Hidden, paused and said, "Our security force at Burton intersection was attacked by a large group of Chinese soldiers!"
"Nani, a large group of Chinese soldiers?" Renjian Xiu San's heart sank when he heard this, and he frowned and asked, "How many Chinese soldiers are there?"
The signal soldier took a breath and said urgently: "According to the guard post report, there are at least a thousand Chinese soldiers!"
"Nani? More than a thousand people?!" Xiu San was startled when he saw him. What did he say? Why did so many Chinese soldiers suddenly appear?
Nakagawa Hiroshi and several other infantry captains also looked at each other.
In just a moment, the vague sound of gunfire that had been heard before became clearer. Obviously, this group of Chinese soldiers, numbering in the thousands, was advancing rapidly towards this side! If the 19th Infantry Regiment
If you fail to adjust your deployment in time to resist this wave of Chinese soldiers, you will be attacked from both sides in the blink of an eye.
When people saw Xiu San, they urgently ordered one of the infantry brigade to retreat and quickly built defenses.
Then, Renjian Xiuzan turned around and said to Nakagawa Hiroshi very rudely: "Chief of Staff, you'd better ask, what is going on? If we can't figure out where this group of Chinese soldiers came from, our infantry
I'm afraid the 19th Regiment can no longer continue the attack, and the staff will be responsible for all consequences arising therefrom!"
Nakagawa Hiroshi frowned, and just called the adjutant over, asking him to send a telegram to the division headquarters to inquire. Immediately, a communications staff officer came over in a hurry and reported to Hitomi Hidezo: "Commander Commander, Division Headquarters"
I sent an urgent telegram, saying that the division headquarters is being fiercely attacked by the Chinese army and is in a critical situation. I request all infantry regiments to return to the division immediately for rescue!"
"Nani? The division headquarters was under attack?" Renjian Xiu San was stunned when he heard this.
Nakagawa Hiroshi's mind went crazy for a moment, and he couldn't figure out what was going on.
It was Shinya Ishihara who was the calmest and asked in a deep voice: "Chief of Staff, Commander of the Wing, what should we do now?"
Nakagawa Guangji Lingling shuddered, and shouted sternly: "What should we do? Of course we need to return aid, come back quickly!"
"No!" Seeing Xiu San, he refused without hesitation and shouted, "Your Majesty, Chief of Staff, I want to remind you that you don't even know what the situation is now. If you return to the headquarters of the reinforcement division at this time, you will be led by the enemy.
If we walk with our noses in our hands, we can only become more passive. There may be more ambushes waiting for us on the way back to support!"
Nakagawa Hiroshi immediately became speechless, because he had to admit that what Hidezo said was reasonable.
They have no idea where the Chinese troops who are storming the division headquarters are coming from, and where the more than a thousand Chinese troops coming from Burton Road came from. Since the Chinese can do such things without being noticed,
Many troops came to attack them. Who knew they wouldn't set up an ambush waiting for them on their way back to support?
Seeing Xiu San sighing, he added: "What's more, even if we rush back now, it's too late, because the division headquarters only has a guard squadron. Even if it has strong enough defenses, I'm afraid it won't be able to sustain it for too long.
Time, by the time we rush back, I’m afraid we’ll all be in pieces already.”
Nakagawa Hiroshi took a breath and said in a deep voice: "Then tell me, what should we do now?"
Hitomi Hidezo said categorically: "The wisest choice now is to shrink our troops and strengthen our defense! We can wait until the situation becomes clear before making a decision. At that time, whether we continue to attack forward, stay in place, or retreat, we can
You will be more calm and will not fall into other people's traps by acting in a hurry."
"Okay." Nakagawa Hiroshi sighed, "That's all."
"But..." Ishihara Shinya whispered, "The commander, the chief of staff, and the people from Broadway Building are being surrounded by patrol battalions from both ends near Sichuan Road Bridge and Erbaidu Bridge. If we don't open up Wuchang Road, they will be afraid
…”
"Baga!" When he saw Xiu San, he immediately became angry and roared loudly, "We can't even take care of the division headquarters, how can we take care of the people in the Broadway Building? They are just a bunch of dogs. If they die, they will die. What a big deal.
Afterwards, just look for a group of traitors. The Chinese lack everything but people. Are you afraid that you won't be able to find enough traitors and lackeys?"
"Hai." Shinya Ishihara quickly closed his mouth obediently.
(Dividing line)
In fact, it was not only the people from the Broadway Building who were besieged near Sichuan Road Bridge and Erbaidu Bridge, but also more than a hundred people from the Navy Special Task Force. Yes, that’s right, after several consecutive fierce battles, Yamamoto Ichiro’s navy
The number of members of the special task force has been reduced from more than 300 to more than 100, and more than half of them are wounded.
Yamamoto Ichiro received the warning from the Navy Headquarters even earlier than the Ninth Division Headquarters. After all, they both belonged to the Navy system. After receiving the report from the Naval Aviation Corps, Hasegawa Kiyoshi immediately asked the Signal Corps to give the warning through semaphores.
Yamamoto Ichiro conveyed the warning and ordered Yamamoto Ichiro to immediately lead the naval task force to withdraw.
After receiving the order, Yamamoto Ichiro immediately organized the evacuation of the wounded.
Originally, Yamamoto Ichiro wanted to transfer the wounded to North Yangzi Road north of Erbai Bridge, and then send the wounded to the barge through the ship terminal under the control of the Japanese Navy, and then send them to the Naval Hospital from the Huangpu River, but unfortunately
, before the stretcher team of the Navy Special Task Force set off, the patrol battalion to the north suddenly advanced more than a hundred meters.
At this time, the route for the wounded members of the Navy's special task force to reach the dock was directly blocked.
Then, at least one brigade of Chinese troops, which had been discovered by the naval aviation before, rolled over along the South Suzhou River Road. Although the naval aviation dispatched more than a dozen bombers, strafing and dive bombing,
Still failed to stop the advance of the Chinese army.
In less than five minutes, the Chinese army had already rushed to the vicinity of Sichuan Road and Bridge.
At this time, the special forces stationed at the Broadway Building in Luqiao, Sichuan had already been fighting fiercely for two days and nights, and each of them was already exhausted. Therefore, the result can be imagined. After just one attack, the Broadway Building collapsed and was completely lost.
The fighting soldiers of the Broadway Building, thousands of them, were like a flock of sheep driven by wolves. They ran towards the Erbai Crossing Bridge in panic, only regretting that their parents had lost two legs.
Hasegawa Kiyoshi stood on the bridge of the Izumo cruiser. Because he was in a commanding position, he could clearly see the scene of the pursuit. Speaking of which, the people in Broadway Building were quite tenacious, even in this situation.
Under any circumstances, they can still organize an effective blockade behind them. Hasegawa Kiyoshi saw with his own eyes that one after another the special agent teams turned around and built a thin line of defense on the spot, trying to block the pursuit of the patrol battalion. However, unfortunately
Unfortunately, the resistance of the Broadway Building was so weak and useless in the face of the overwhelming attack from the patrol battalion.
Soon, the defeated troops in Broadway Building retreated to the vicinity of Erbaidu Bridge.
Then, the position north of the Erbaidu Bridge was also lost. The main force of the patrol battalion, which was originally trapped in Suzhou and Hebei, finally found a breakthrough. Immediately, tigers descended from the mountain and rushed across the Erbaidu Bridge.
The cannons on the cruiser Cloud repeatedly fired, but they were unable to stop the patrol battalion's charge.
