When an earth-shattering explosion came from the direction of Luodian, Shi Changqing was lying on the roof of a small building, approaching the Jiangwan Racecourse to reconnoiter ahead. According to the latest order from the headquarters, the four troops involved in the siege of Jiangwan Airport
The main battalion must prepare for a general attack before dark today. Once the order is given, the battle must be resolved within half an hour.
Shi Changqing didn't know why the headquarters issued such a strange order. If he really wanted to attack Jiangwan Town, he didn't have to wait until dark, he could take it all in one fell swoop! As a soldier, Shi Changqing was used to executing orders, but he couldn't
To question the decision of a superior, since the superior has made such a decision, there must be a reason!
Shi Changqing's First Battalion is responsible for the west side of Jiangwan Airport. Jiangwan Airport was rebuilt from Jiangwan Racecourse. There were originally towering stands on the west side. However, during the first Songhu Battle, the Japanese army rebuilt Jiangwan Racecourse.
It became an airport. In order to allow planes to take off smoothly, most of the stands on the west side were demolished.
So relatively speaking, the first battalion has the lightest task.
Because the other three main camps have tall reinforced concrete stands blocking the way.
Of course, there is a reason for this, because Shi Changqing's first battalion is missing a company, and Wang Jiageng's infantry company was transferred to Luodian by the military division headquarters. It is precisely because of this that Wang Husheng placed Shi Changqing's first battalion in the relatively easy Xixi
However, even so, after receiving the order, Shi Changqing still did not dare to be careless in the slightest.
After receiving the order, Shi Changqing immediately led the guards to the front line, climbed up a ladder to a small building, and approached the reconnaissance racecourse from the roof of the small building. While observing, Shi Changqing took out his notebook and
Pencil, draw the detected enemy firepower configuration and troop deployment on the notebook.
While Shi Changqing was painting, a huge explosion came from the direction of Lengbuding Luodian.
Shi Changqing was startled by the sudden huge explosion, and almost fell down from the ridge of the roof. Fortunately, he reacted quickly and reached out to grab the eaves. This prevented him from falling from the ridge of the roof, but what he had just done was
The movement was a bit loud and was discovered by the Japanese soldiers on the opposite position.
A dozen or so Japanese soldiers immediately raised their 38 caps and started shooting in this direction. The roof where Shi Changqing was hiding was shattered into pieces in an instant.
Shi Changqing could no longer hide on the roof, and he didn't want to hide anymore.
Because the explosions coming from Luodian became louder and more intensive.
Obviously, Luodian is being bombarded by large-caliber naval guns from the Japanese navy. This is really no joke!
Shi Changqing participated in the first Battle of Songhu, and was also bombarded by large-caliber Japanese naval guns at Huishan Wharf. He knew what it was like! He also knew what it meant!
Wang Jiageng's company is in danger and must be withdrawn immediately!
However, Shi Changqing did not dare to make his own decision in this matter and had to obtain the consent of the headquarters.
At that moment, Shi Changqing turned over and quickly slid down the ladder to the ground. Then he turned over and picked up a foreign car. He kicked hard on the ground with his long legs, and the foreign car slid away. Then Shi Changqing turned the two wheels of the windmill.
He turned around and rushed towards the campus of Nankai University with a roar.
Nankai University is in Jiangwan Town, and Shi Changqing knows that Wang Husheng is there now.
Now that the commander is not in the army, all matters large and small must be subject to the arrangements of the political commissar.
When Shi Changqing rode his bicycle and broke into the campus of Nankai University like the wind, Wang Husheng was standing on the edge of the playground, watching Li Xiaoxia lead a group of soldiers from the artillery battalion to bury explosives under the wall of the library building. However, Wang Husheng also
I had heard the huge explosion coming from Luodian, and I was looking northward in the direction of Luodian with my legs crossed.
Seeing Wang Husheng, Shi Changqing immediately shouted: "Political commissar, political commissar..."
When Wang Husheng turned around and saw that it was Shi Changqing riding over, he frowned and asked, "You are not commanding the troops at the front line, so what are you doing here by yourself? Are you lazy?"
There were just a few steps in front of him, so Shi Changqing threw his bicycle away, jumped over two steps, and then hurriedly came to Wang Husheng and shouted: "Political Commissar, listen to this, the Japanese navy has begun to attack
Luodian launched a cluster bombardment. Believe me, no one can withstand such intensity of bombardment!"
Wang Husheng's face immediately became solemn. He believed in Shi Changqing's judgment.
Shi Changqing gasped again and said: "Political Commissar, quickly withdraw the company!"
After a pause, Shi Changqing emphasized: "If we evacuate too late, the whole company will be gone!"
A company is called a company, but it is actually a battalion, with more than 800 men! We can't let the Japanese navy's large-caliber naval guns cause harm in vain!
Shi Changqing's words are definitely not scaremongering. The kid's large-caliber naval gun is really not a boast. In the first battle of Songhu two years ago, Chen Cheng's elite 11th Division of Civil Engineering Department counterattacked Luodian under the orders of the commander. The result was that
In less than half a day, the division's more than 12,000 officers and soldiers were reduced to less than 3,000. Chen Cheng was so distressed that he even trembled when he spoke.
What crippled the 11th Division at that time was the Japanese navy's large-caliber naval gun group!
And there were dozens of people like the 11th Division who were crippled by the large-caliber naval guns of the Japanese Navy!
Under the attack of the Japanese naval guns, the entire 11th Division could only hold out for half a day, not to mention a mere company of Wang Jiageng? If the retreat order was issued too late, how many people would be left in the company? Or, how many whole companies would be left?
Must we come back in full force? Thinking of this, Shi Changqing said angrily: "Political Commissar, give the order to retreat quickly!"
Wang Husheng just looked at Shi Changqing without saying a word.
Shi Changqing's expression gradually became stagnant, and from the depths of Wang Husheng's eyes, there was a hint of guilt!
Wang Husheng wanted to order a retreat and withdraw Wang Jiageng's company from Luodian, but he couldn't! Because his ears still echoed Xu Rui's instructions before leaving: if you are willing to give up, you will gain something if you can't give up.
Wolf! If you want to catch a big fish like the 20th Division, you must sacrifice the bait!
And Wang Jiageng's company is the bait thrown by the Songhu Military Division!
Wang Husheng still remembers the war game between Xu Rui, Xie Yuan and Yang Rui.
In the middle of the deduction, Xu Rui planted explosives throughout Jiangwan Town, preparing to blow up the entire Jiangwan Town and the main force of the 20th Division that entered Jiangwan Town. However, Xie Yuan said, the Japanese 20th Division
The main force will not enter Jiangwan. The Japanese will only send an infantry regiment into Jiangwan at most, because one infantry regiment is enough!
At that time, Xu Rui said, try to convince the Japanese that just sending one regiment into Jiangwan is not enough!
What is the solution? Just fight a fierce battle with the Japanese in Luodian first, and let the Japanese understand that all the officers and soldiers in the Songhu Military Division are tough, and they will never take a step back even if they fight to the last man!
If there is such a psychological expectation, and when the Japanese find that the main force of the Songhu Military Division is trapped in Jiangwan because they have no time to retreat, the 20th Division will never rush to enter Shanghai.
area, and will only choose to surround Jiangwan Town and prepare for a battle of annihilation.
Facing the main force of tens of thousands of people in the Songhu Military Division, because of the precedent of the bloody battle in Luodian, the 20th Division no longer has any reason to underestimate the enemy. They will definitely concentrate all their forces to ensure victory! Then as the Japanese attack
, the entire battlefield will become criss-crossed, and as time goes by, more and more Japanese troops will be involved in the river bay. The river bay is not big, it is less than ten square kilometers, but it is not small, even if
It's more than enough to bury a hundred thousand little devils.
"Cannot withdraw!" The guilty look in Wang Husheng's eyes quickly disappeared, and the expression on his face became as hard as iron. Then he said to Shi Changqing, "Captain Shi, Luodian is already the last barrier of Jiangwan Town. If Luo Dian
If the store is lost, there will be no danger to defend from Luodian to Jiangwan, and this battle will no longer be fought."
After saying that, Wang Husheng pointed to Li Xiaoxia who was busy and the officers and soldiers of the artillery camp, and said: "Also, all the arrangements we made in Jiangwan Town have become decorations, and this means that our Songhu
The military division will miss the opportunity to defeat the two Japanese divisions, and will have to face a decisive battle with the Japanese 20th Division."
After pausing at this point, Wang Husheng continued: "But if there is a head-on battle, our Songhu Military Division is not completely sure of defeating the 20th Division. It will be even more difficult to defeat it in a short time.
, but within ten days at most, the Japanese Seventh Division will also march into Shanghai, and by then, the end of our Songhu Military Division will have come."
"But, but..." Shi Changqing wanted to argue, but he stuttered incoherently.
Reasonably, Shi Changqing told Shi Changqing that what Wang Husheng said was right, but emotionally, he still couldn't accept it. Wouldn't this mean sacrificing the entire company in exchange for victory? As a commander, how could he do this? And didn't the commander often say,
Never abandon, never give up? Isn’t this abandonment?
"This is definitely not abandonment!" Wang Husheng seemed to have guessed what Shi Changqing was thinking, and said in a deep voice, "This is just an ordinary order, but the task is a bit difficult, but as soldiers, we must not be picky, and we must not be picky because of
If the task is difficult, just choose not to carry it out, right?"
Shi Changqing was speechless when he heard this, because everything Wang Husheng said was reasonable.
This is like encountering a bunker on the way to charge. Someone must stand up and blow it up so that the troops can continue to rush forward. Otherwise, if the enemy waits until the enemy has calmed down and then launches a counterattack, everyone will die! At this time,
, either someone takes the initiative to stand up, or the commander randomly calls the name, and whoever is called will be the one.
Taking a deep breath, Shi Changqing said in a deep voice: "But there has to be a limit, right?"
The implication is that it is impossible to stay in Luodian forever, there must be a time limit.
Wang Husheng said: "In the evening, just hold on until the evening!"
Shi Changqing said no more, turned around and ran away.
