Tada Shun built a blockade across the Wusong River and Huangpu River from Baoshan in the north to Jinshanwei in the south, and stationed all five divisions of the 12th Army on the blockade, with each division responsible for
With a thirty-kilometer blockade, the Sixth Division, which has the strongest combat effectiveness, is responsible for Jiading, which is most likely to be the direction of breakthrough.
A division seems to have a lot of troops, more than 25,000 people, but more than half of the troops are auxiliary arms such as artillery, engineers and baggage troops. The auxiliary troops basically cannot be garrisoned separately and must be with the division.
The regiment headquarters are together, so only four infantry regiments can be garrisoned.
Each division is responsible for a thirty-kilometer defense line, and then there is a stronghold every 100 meters. Each stronghold is stationed with a team, and then there is a large stronghold every 1,000 meters. Each large stronghold is stationed with an infantry squadron. In this way
, only fifty-five infantry squadrons were used, and a division only had forty-eight squadrons.
In other words, according to the standards set by Mr. Tada Shun, the infantry of the four regiments is not enough, and troops must be drawn from auxiliary units such as engineering, cavalry or heavy equipment to distribute enough troops. This means even more,
After garrisoning the five divisions on the blockade line, Shanghai was completely surrounded, but its mobility was completely gone. Because of this, Tada Shun specially transferred the third division to serve as
General reserve team.
Such an iron wall encirclement looks airtight and has excellent results. However, it has one of the biggest drawbacks, which is to nail a large number of troops to the blockade. Once one of the points is attacked, all sections will be nailed to the blockade.
The defenders on the blockade were unable to gather reinforcements in time, which gave the Songhu Independent Regiment the opportunity to defeat them one by one.
This is also the reason why France was destroyed so quickly by the German army during World War II.
Because France pinned all its hopes of resisting the German army on the Maginot Line, the French not only built a large number of permanent fortifications on the Maginot Line, but also stationed almost all of France's mobile forces on the Maginot Line.
, as a result, the German army easily bypassed the Maginot Line from Belgium and the Netherlands and penetrated into the heart of France. The millions of French troops stationed at the Maginot Line had no time to react, and France perished.
Of course, Tada Shun's blockade cannot be compared with France's Maginot Line, and the results are even worse.
As soon as the battle started, the first battalion responsible for the main attack used rocket launchers to destroy four gun towers, opening a gap more than 400 meters wide between the two large strongholds, and then used ladders to quickly descend to the bottom of the blockade ditch, and then followed the
Go up the ladder to the road between the two blocked trenches.
After getting on the road, the first battalion immediately divided into two groups and set up defensive positions at both ends of the gap to try their best to block the Japanese who were rushing from the left and right strongholds along the road. At the same time, the third and fourth battalions took advantage of this opportunity.
, quickly crossed the highway, passed the second blockade ditch, and then quickly set up blocking positions on both sides of the gap.
At this time, because the road between the two blockade ditches was blocked by the First Battalion, the Japanese on both sides of the gap could not get through, so they took a circuitous route from the fields outside the blockade ditch, and happened to run into the blocking positions of the Third and Fourth Battalions.
The two sides immediately started a fierce battle in the wilderness less than five miles away from Jiading County.
Garrisoned in this section of Jiading is the Japanese Sixth Division, also known as the Kumamoto Division.
This Kumamoto Division once fought against the Dameishan Independent Regiment in the second mopping up operation, and was almost wiped out. However, it must be admitted that the combat effectiveness of this division is still very strong, especially the division that has just taken office.
Changshan Xia Fengwen, this old devil is a ruthless character, so the counterattack is very crazy.
…
At the same time, at the preset position of the rocket artillery battalion.
Under the cover of night, more than 130 rocket launcher vehicles were already in place, rows of multiple rocket launchers had been strung up, and the black muzzles were pointed at the Japanese blockade ahead.
At the observation post, Yang Rui and artillery battalion commander Bi Xiancheng were paying close attention to the battle situation ahead.
Since they are not very far apart, through the field of view of the telescope, the two of them can clearly see that the first battalion responsible for blocking has been engaged in a hard fight. Further away, the third and fourth battalions responsible for protecting the two wings of the exit are also engaged in a hard fight.
During this period, the Kumamoto Division's offensive was like huge waves, repeatedly washing away the defense lines of the 1st, 3rd, and 4th Battalions.
However, the 1st, 3rd, and 4th Battalions had no time to build any defensive fortifications, so it seemed that their entire defense line was already shaky and might collapse at any time under the Japanese counterattack.
Bi Xiancheng put down the telescope, turned to Yang Rui and said: "Batalion Commander, fire!"
Bi Xiancheng was also an old man from Gujun Camp, so he still followed the previous habit in Gujun Camp and called Yang Rui the battalion commander instead of calling him deputy commander.
"No." Yang Rui shook his head firmly and said, "It's not time yet."
"Not yet?" Bi Xiancheng asked anxiously, "How long do we have to wait?"
Yang Rui's eyes crossed the battlefield to the farther distance, and said faintly: "Wait until the reinforcements of the third division arrive!"
"Wait until the reinforcements from the Third Division arrive?" Bi Xiancheng said dumbfounded, "By then it will be too late. Right now, the first battalion, the third battalion and the fourth battalion are almost unable to withstand it."
"They can withstand it." Yang Rui said in a deep voice, "You have to believe in the leader!"
After a pause, Yang Rui continued: "If the first, third, and fourth battalions really couldn't withstand it, wouldn't the regiment commander mobilize more troops to strengthen the defense line? But he didn't, which means he can still withstand it!
"
Bi Xiancheng hummed slightly and said nothing.
…
At the headquarters of the Twelfth Army, the phone rang, the telegram beeped, and the announcements were heard.
In front of Jun Tada, there seemed to be relative silence. The old Japanese soldier folded his arms and stood in front of the sand table with a frown. On the simulated sand table in front of him, the operational staff of the general staff had already opened a hole in the blockade.
, is not big, the total width is less than 800 meters, and even a rifle can penetrate it.
The problem is that such a gap is enough for the Songhu Independent Regiment to escape.
Of course, if the Sixth Division can re-block the gap in time, then there will be no problem.
However, judging from the current situation, the Sixth Division seems to no longer have this ability.
Iinuma Takazo walked up to Tada Shun and said with a gloomy face: "Your Excellency, Commander, the counterattack of the 45th Infantry Regiment has failed again, and the gap still cannot be closed."
"Bagagaru." Shun Tada cursed and asked, "When will the third division arrive?"
Iinuma Takazo said without hesitation: "I just asked, and it will take another quarter of an hour to arrive."
"Fifteen more minutes? More than an hour has passed since we notified them of reinforcements, but it will take another quarter of an hour for them to arrive?" Shun Tada said angrily, "Iinuma-kun, have you notified them yet?
Rushing to the rescue with light equipment?”
"Hai!" Takazo Iinuma paused and said, "I have informed them of your order a long time ago."
"Baga." Tada Shun said angrily, "Then why does it take a quarter of an hour for the reinforcements of the third division to arrive? Are they all women? Are they marching so slowly?"
"Well..." Takazo Iinuma said with a wry smile, "The Sixth Infantry Regiment seems to have mistaken the marching direction."
"Nani? Wrong marching direction?!" Shun Tada was stunned at first, and then became angry again. However, it was useless for him to be angry at this time. He could only wait patiently, but in his heart he thought fiercely, Fujita
Enter this idiot and wait until the battle is over to make him look good.
…
A quarter of an hour passed quickly.
At the launch position of the rocket launcher battalion, Bi Xiancheng suddenly shouted: "Battalion Commander, look, look, Gou Ri's third division is coming! They are finally here!"
Upon hearing this, Yang Rui quickly raised his telescope and looked in the direction of Bi Xiancheng's finger. Under the night cover, he saw a long dragon composed of torches and car lights, crawling towards this direction from the southwest. It was conservatively estimated that the Japanese reinforcements were at least
There is an infantry regiment, which must be the reinforcements of the Third Division!
"Order!" Yang Rui immediately put down the telescope and shouted, "Fire!"
Bi Xiancheng immediately turned around and shouted at the top of his lungs: "Fire, fire, fire..."
Hearing Bi Xiancheng's roar, more than a hundred gun commanders guarding the artillery truck waved their pennants at the same time. In the next moment, more than 130 rocket launchers burst into flames at the same time, and then a row of rocket launchers burst into flames.
The platoon of rockets dragged long tail flames and whizzed away in the west-southwest direction.
…
Ahead, on the road from Anting Town to Jiading County, more than three thousand Japs from the Sixth Infantry Regiment of the Third Division were rushing forward in six columns.
Along with the Sixth Infantry Regiment, the Third Cavalry Regiment came for reinforcements.
The 3rd Cavalry Regiment set out slightly later than the 6th Infantry Regiment, but now they are chasing each other. The reason why Susumu Fujita sent the 3rd Cavalry Regiment was also to make up for the mistakes he had made before, because his
The negligence caused the Sixth Infantry Regiment to run in the wrong direction and was delayed for at least half an hour.
But at this time, the battlefield ahead is already in sight.
Zentaro Hoshi, the captain of the third cavalry regiment, looked up at the battlefield ahead, turned to face his side, and Kawaamimi, the captain of the sixth infantry regiment, who was also riding a tall horse, said: "Kawamami-kun, of the sixth division.
The situation already looks very bad, why don't you take a step slowly, and our cavalry will go over first to provide reinforcements?"
Kawanami was also worried that the Sixth Division would collapse, so he immediately paused and said: "Hai, please leave it to Lord Xingshan."
Hoshizentaro waved his hand and galloped his horse forward a few steps. Just when he was about to give the order, streaks of light suddenly appeared in the dark night sky above his head. The old devil looked up quickly and saw a large shower of meteors and fire.
After falling from the sky, they immediately landed in the marching ranks of the 6th Infantry Regiment and the 3rd Cavalry Regiment.
Immediately afterwards, a piece of red light bloomed in front of his eyes.
