On the entire Jiangwan battlefield, the most intense fighting was at the Fudan University position.
Because the Fudan University position is at the southeast end of the four-pointed star, this position is the fulcrum of the entire southeast defense line for the Songhu Military Division. On the contrary, for the Japanese army on the offensive side, it is undoubtedly a thorn in the side! Because,
This position seriously hindered the Japanese army's troop deployment.
To give a simple example, the Japs on the left side of the sharp corner have suffered a loss and need support. The Japs commander can only transfer troops from the right side of the sharp corner, and the troops coming to reinforce can't take shortcuts.
You can only go around sharp corners, which greatly reduces timeliness.
In this way, the Japanese army was actually divided into two pieces on the left and right by the sharp corners!
Sometimes reinforcements finally arrived, but the besieged troops were eaten up. Therefore, the little Japanese commander in the direction of Fudan University dreamed of taking out this position, but the Japanese attacked the Songhu Army more than ten times.
Fudan University's position in the division has always remained unchanged.
To be honest, the Songhu Military Division troops guarding Fudan University are actually not many. There is only one platoon of more than 200 people.
But the problem is that this platoon was personally led by Xie Yuan, deputy commander of the Songhu Military Division. It was precisely because Xie Yuan was in charge that the Japanese attacked more than a dozen times, but they were never able to cross the thunder pool!
The Japanese attack was repelled again. Xie Yuan finally had time to sit down and took out the remaining half of a cigarette he had smoked before. He was about to light it and take a few puffs. However, he took out the matchbox from his pocket with his left hand and then used his right hand to
When he took the matches out of the matchbox, he dropped several matches because Xie Yuan's right hand kept shaking and he couldn't hold the matches.
In the battle that just ended, they staged a hand-to-hand battle with the Japanese. In this hand-to-hand battle, Xie Yuan personally killed the two Japanese with a bayonet. However, he was also injured, and his right forearm was stabbed by the Japanese with a bayonet.
It was opened, and although the bleeding was stopped after bandaging, it became dull.
Seeing this scene, Ni Shixiang couldn't stand it anymore, so he came over and lit Xie Yuan's cigarette.
The cigarette was lit, and Xie Yuan took a big drag, and then said to Ni Shixiang: "Platoon Commander Ni, thank you."
"Thank you for nothing, just light a cigarette." Ni Shixiang shook his head and looked at Xie Yuan with a hint of respect.
As a member of the Gui Army, Ni Shixiang had a very negative view of the Central Army. He believed that the soldiers of the Central Army were stupid and the officers were more greedy. It was not until after the Songhu Battle that Ni Shixiang's view of the Central Army changed slightly, but only slightly.
, However, today, Ni Shixiang has completely changed his view on the Central Army.
No matter what, Xie Yuan deserves the respect of his Ni Shixiang.
Xie Yuan took two puffs, then took off the remaining half of the cigarette and asked Ni Shixiang: "Would you like a sip?"
Ni Shixiang was not polite, took the cigarette butt from Xie Yuan's hand, took a deep puff, and handed the cigarette back to Xie Yuan.
Xie Yuan waved his hand and said, "Let the brothers take turns." The battle was fierce, and no one knew whether a bullet would suddenly fly over and pierce their heads when the Japanese attacked next time. He, Xie Yuan, had nothing to do.
Good thing, the only thing I can do now is to take out the last remaining half cigarette and share it with the brothers.
Ni Shixiang handed the remaining half of a cigarette to the veteran beside him.
Ni Shixiang squatted next to Xie Yuan and said quietly: "Deputy Commander, I don't understand this battle. The buildings in Shanghai are obviously stronger and there are even ready-made fortifications. Why don't we follow in Shanghai?"
The Japs are doing it, but they have to go to Jiangwan to fight with the Japs to the death? For an airport, what’s the big deal?”
The trap in Jiangwan Town is highly confidential. Only a few senior cadres know about it. Ni Shixiang is just a small platoon leader, so of course he will not know about it.
But Xie Yuan knew about it, and he also knew that the little devil had already taken over!
Now we are waiting for the news from Langya. As long as Langya brigade finds and destroys the Japs headquarters, they can immediately launch traps and in a blink of an eye, they can burn into half the tens of thousands of Japs who broke into Jiangwan Town.
Damn, but Xie Yuan is not sure when Langya will be able to succeed.
Of course, if Langya fails to succeed in the end, the trap will still be launched here.
However, in this way, the effect of the raid will inevitably be greatly reduced. This is because if the headquarters of the Japanese 20th Division remains intact, even if the several infantry regiments that broke into Jiangwan were severely damaged, they would not be as good as the chaos.
, you can also rely on effective command to retreat step by step and block attacks layer by layer.
Therefore, no matter how difficult the situation is, Fudan University must hold on!
At that moment, Xie Yuan patted Ni Shixiang's shoulder and said comfortingly: "Since the commander has given this order, he must have his reasons. As a soldier, I only need to obey the order."
Ni Shixiang nodded silently and said nothing more.
Less than five minutes after resting, bursts of short screams rang out in the night sky.
The little devils started shelling again! At that moment, Xie Yuan jumped up and rushed into the teaching building. The next moment, rows of shells fell on the campus of Fudan University, and then exploded again. The dazzling red light produced after the explosion
, instantly illuminated the originally dark campus as bright as day.
Fortunately, only four Type 92 infantry guns participated in the artillery attack.
If it were during the day, the hot-air balloon observers in the sky could directly guide the Japanese navy's large-caliber naval guns to bombard the Fudan University campus. If that were the case, the entire campus would have been bombed into ruins. Ni Shixiang's platoon
I'm afraid that all of them have already died in the battle, including Xie Yuan.
But even so, Xie Yuan is not sure how long they can hold on here.
Looking at the dazzling red lights blooming one after another outside the building, Xie Yuan thought lonelyly, maybe next time we attack, maybe the next time, or maybe the next time, Fudan University’s position will be lost, but he doesn’t know
, can the Langya Brigade succeed before the Fudan University position is lost and before they all die for the country?
(Dividing line)
Leng Tiefeng was very anxious.
Because more than a dozen reconnaissance teams have been out for so long, but they still haven't found the little Japanese's division headquarters!
In addition to being anxious, Leng Tiefeng also felt extremely confused. According to common sense, shouldn't the Little Japanese's division headquarters be with the Field Artillery Regiment? But now, the artillery position of the 26th Field Artillery Regiment has been found.
, but the division headquarters of the 20th Division has disappeared, and it is not known where it has hidden.
In fact, the old devil Kawagishi Bunzaburo is also to blame for this matter.
Originally, Ushijima Minoru's division headquarters would definitely be together with the 26th Field Artillery Regiment, that is, it would be established near Luodian Town. However, Ushijima Minoru was about to put his division headquarters there.
When moving forward, Kawagishi Bunzaburo issued an order and forced Ushijima to move the division headquarters to Taicang County.
On major issues of principle, Ushijima Minune would not pay attention to Kawagishi Bunzaburo, but on such trivial issues, Ushijima Minune would not contradict him. Anyway, Kawagishi Bunzaburo was the first
The commander of the Twelfth Army is his superior, so he still needs to do the superficial things he should do, right?
So Ushijima Mitsune moved the division headquarters to Taicang County.
This time, more than a dozen reconnaissance teams of Langya were trapped.
Until early in the morning, the division headquarters of the 20th Division was still not found!
Leng Tiefeng immediately concluded that the headquarters of the 20th Division was probably out of range! After realizing this, Leng Tiefeng immediately ordered more than a dozen reconnaissance teams to expand the search area to a ten-kilometer range centered on Luodian.
Expanded to 20 kilometers, while focusing on the two directions of Jiading and Baoshan.
At 2:30 in the morning, there was finally news!
It was Mo Zichen's reconnaissance team that discovered the target.
It was a fluke to say that Mo Zichen's reconnaissance team was originally lurking in Luodian Town. This guy was also smart. He originally wanted to sit back and wait for the little devil's division headquarters to be sent to him, but in the end the division
The regiment headquarters did not wait, but witnessed with their own eyes the tragic battle between Wang Jiageng Company and the Japanese.
And in the end, Mo Zichen couldn't hold back and took action decisively.
Lang Ya took action, and the dozens of Japs surrounding Wang Jiageng were immediately killed, including the Japs Major. Wang Jiageng was also able to break out, but after only a moment's delay, the Japs' large forces immediately surrounded him from all directions.
A frantic pursuit and interception of Wang Jiageng and Mo Zichen's reconnaissance team was launched.
During the breakout, Wang Jiageng's right leg was injured and he couldn't run fast. In order to protect Wang Jiageng, Mo Zichen took the initiative to divert the Japs' pursuers away. As a result, those little Japs chased Mo Zichen all the way like crazy.
There were three of them, and even when Mo Zichen and the others broke out separately, the little Japanese remained unyielding.
Mo Zichen ran all the way, and the little devil chased him all the way to Taicang County.
It wasn't until he entered the county seat that Mo Zichen finally got rid of the Japs' pursuers by relying on the complicated street terrain. After getting rid of the Japs' pursuers, Mo Zichen began to find his way back to Luodian Town, preparing to continue looking for the Japs by waiting for the enemy.
The division headquarters, and then discovered the Japanese division headquarters halfway out of the city!
After discovering the target, Mo Zichen hurried back to find Leng Tiefeng.
After hearing the report, Leng Tiefeng was overjoyed and asked anxiously: "Old Mo, are you really the division headquarters?"
"I'm sure!" Mo Zichen said with great certainty, "It's not like I haven't seen the Japs' regiment headquarters before. It's definitely not this grand. With so many carriages and trucks, it must be the Japs' division headquarters!" At this point
, Mo Zichen paused for a moment, then continued, "However, there is a strange situation."
Leng Tiefeng's heart sank, and he frowned and asked, "What's going on?"
Mo Zichen scratched his head and said, "It seems there are two division headquarters."
