A small town in Bao'an County, Luodian, is not big. There are only more than 200 families. From here, it is Chuanshakou and Luojing to the northwest. Although this town is small, it is the northwest gateway of the entire Songhu area. When the Japanese conquered Crowdian, they opened the Songhu area portal, threatening the Beijing-Shanghai Railway and the Shanghai defenders' areas. Therefore, Luodian is the place where the Japanese army must conquer the landing of the Shizilin Chuanshakou. On the contrary, it is the place where the Chinese team must defend. If they defend Luodian, the Japanese landing troops were restricted to a narrow landing area. They will be killed by the firepower of the Chinese team.

It was dim and Luodian. People from north to south were running forward quickly. From time to time, the depressing "fast. Speed ​​up" came from the queue. The two teams appeared at the beginning and end of the town at almost the same time, one in front and one behind.

"Blow the charge! Kill!"

"Kill the princess!"

The vanguards on both sides discovered each other almost at the same time, and the commander issued the same order almost at the same time. The two armies rushed forward at the same time, and the yellow and gray collided quickly. A fierce battle started near the center of the town.

The sound of metal collisions, gunfire, explosions, screams, and curses broke the quiet morning of the town. The regiment commander Hu Lian, who followed up, immediately launched the troops. Deputy regiment commander Wei Xingguo led the Third Battalion to surround the left wing, and personally led the Second Battalion to reinforce the town. Chief of Staff Ye Haishan led the regiment guard company to follow up.

"There is no way out. You must seize Luodian, otherwise it will be over in Shanghai! Brothers! There will be advances and no retreats in this battle! Kill!"

Hu Lian is worthy of being the general who is appreciated by Chen Cheng. He immediately knew that this was a battle without a way out, so he had to devote all his strength from the beginning to drive the Japanese army out of the town. He took the lead and rushed into the town. Coincidentally, the Japanese follow-up commander also issued almost the same order. Side strikes and reinforcements, Wei Xingguo and the Japanese side attack troops collided head-on in the fields outside the town.

There was a sound of killing inside and outside Luodian Town. Both sides were determined to win, and captured Crowdian and opened the gate to the northwest of Songhu. Cut off the Beijing-Shanghai Railway; guarded Luodian and resolutely drove the Japanese into the sea.

The battle was extremely cruel from the beginning, with only those who fell down and no retreat. From the Guandi Temple in the center of the town to every corner of the town, there were bloody battles. The excellent assassination and shooting skills of the Japanese soldiers gradually gained the upper hand, and the Chinese team was forced to retreat step by step.

Hu Lian was just rescued from the enemy group by the guards. His ground colonel uniform made him the target of the Japanese army. As soon as he fought, seven or eight Japanese soldiers rushed towards him. He led a group of soldiers to meet him. Hu Lian of the fourth phase of Huangpu was like Hu Zongnan. Although he was short, his military skills were outstanding among the thousands of classmates in the fourth phase. The 11th Division was Chen Chengdi's army and his training has always been very strict. Hu Lian's army was famous for his strictness in the 11th Division.

But as soon as he fought with the Japanese army, Hu Lian felt that his opponent was tough. The Japanese soldiers' assassination skills were very skillful, forcing Hu Lian and the others to retreat step by step. On average, each Japanese soldier would have to pay two Chinese soldiers if he fell down, and the soldiers around him quickly decreased. In the end, the two guards were left with him back to back and stalemate with the remaining five Japanese soldiers. It was almost over. His adjutant rushed over with a few soldiers and killed the Japanese army and rescued him.

"Kill the Japanese!" "Friends! Kill the Japanese!" Another shout came from the town. A group of people rushed out of a mansion with big swords and earth guns. The leader was actually a gray-haired man over 50 years old. The old man held a gun in his right hand and a three-foot Longquan in his left hand. He shot while walking. The group of people came from behind the Japanese army.

"Kill the Japanese!" A large number of villagers came from all corners of the town, men, women, young and old, and all the weapons in their hands were all kinds of, kitchen knives, shoulder poles, axes, men were in front and women were behind. They fought bravely and rushed towards the Japanese army from behind.

The Chinese team had already begun to lose their morale and suddenly became excited. Hu Lian didn't have time to think about why these villagers did not retreat. He grabbed the Japanese army and shouted, "Brothers! Kill!" Then he bravely stabbed the Japanese in front of him, and the soldiers behind him rushed forward. The Japanese army was stabbed to a dozen times in one go. The Japanese army began to retreat. Now the Chinese team's morale was even higher.

"Boom!" A Chinese wounded man on the ground pulled the grenade on his body when the Japanese retreated to him. The Japanese formation became even looser. Hu Lian took advantage of the opportunity to cover up the killing and drove the Japanese army out of the town.

Luodian's encounter was passed to Zhang Zhizhong's headquarters, and Zhang Zhizhong called for luck. The defense area of ​​the 56th Division was too large. Luodian had no troops at all. After all the members of a company guarding Beichuansha died in a battle, Luodian was in a state of no troops. Fortunately, Peng Shan made a quick decision to send a regiment, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.

"I have to ask him for merit. This desperate Saburo. This time I fought well!" Zhang Zhizhong was a little excited. Peng Shan was also a member of the Sun Wen Society from the first class of Huangpu. He was a brave man. Every time Sun Xuehui fought with the Qing Army Society, he would rush forward as long as he was in the confinement and demotion without any fear. He was called the desperate Saburo by his colleagues of the Sun Xuehui Society. He was severely criticized by Zhang Zhizhong, Deng Yanda and others.

"What is Ruan Zhaochang doing? Why haven't he arrived yet?" After being happy, Zhang Zhizhong began to feel a little dissatisfied. The 57th Division set out last night and hadn't even reached Luodian yet. If Peng Shan hadn't taken the initiative, he would have almost trapped the entire Songhu battlefield in crisis.

"They walked to Luodian and adjusted their deployment last night. The road traffic was chaotic. But it should be coming soon." The Chief of Staff explained.

"This is not a reason," Zhang Zhizhong said calmly: "If it weren't for Peng Shan and Hu Lian. Luodian had already been lost. The supply line of more than 100,000 troops would have been completed. Report to the War Zone Command to ask Peng Shan and Hu Lian for credit. Ruan Zhaochang."

Ruan Zhaochang was angry and anxious. He rushed to the road overnight last night. Many troops met many sports troops on the road. The troops took the wrong path in the chaos. When they were discovered, they had delayed for two hours. Then the troops adjusted their direction and rushed to Luodian. Along the way, they met fellow villagers who had withdrawn from Luodian. After asking, they found out the details of Luodian. Ruan Zhaochang couldn't help but be anxious. He urged the troops to speed up their pace. Finally arrived at Luodian at 10 am. At this time, Hu Lian had already repelled the Japanese attacks twice.

The battlefield of Luodian was stabilized. Zhang Zhizhong turned his attention to the city, and the 36th Division fought hard continuously. He fought with the Japanese army and conquered Yufeng Spinning Mill and Naval Barracks. The core position of the Japanese army was right in front of him.

The 87th Division attacked Xianghuishan Wharf again, and they attacked continuously, forcing the Japanese army to desperately go to the end. Some of the Japanese troops were forced to surrender to the British team and hide in the British Concession. Just when the victory was in sight, the Japanese naval guns were once again exerted. The fierce artillery fire forced the 87th Division to withdraw from Huishan Wharf again.

The siege of the 88th Division in Yangshupu made great progress. Wang Jingjiu personally went to the front line to supervise the battle and conquered the Jingpan Printing Factory and Kangtai Factory. Just when the 88th Division was about to expand the results of the battle, part of the Japanese army landed in Wusong attacked Yangshupu from the side and back. Wang Jingjiu was forced to stop the attack and divided his troops to resist the enemy.

After dawn, Hu Lian handed Luodian to Ruan Zhaochang and led his troops to leave Luodian and returned to the main venue. "Our plane!" There were roars from the sky, and the soldiers shouted. Dozens of planes appeared in the sky and active. The Chinese Air Force's impressive record not only boosted the morale of the people, but also boosted the morale of the army soldiers. Hu Lian looked up and laughed: "Damn it. Now you are running!"

Of course, Hu Lian knew how the Japanese army gathered in the narrow area of ​​Sichuan-Shakou would be hit. "If you dare to land without air superiority, it seems that the Japanese commander is just a false reputation." Hu Lian began to have a different view of Japanese command from then on.

The request made by Gu Zhutong to the Air Force just coincided with Zhou Zhirou's plan. It was inefficient in bombing sea targets. It made Zhou Zhirou decide to change his tactics and focus his troops on dealing with ground and offshore targets and cover the ground forces to fight.

This time he adopted the old tactics. He left half of the fighter planes to prevent Japanese planes from attacking, and the other half covered bombers; the focus of the bombing was the Japanese army at the Chuanshakou landing ground and the Wusongkou landing ground.

The Chinese Air Force dispatched more than 40 bombers. In addition to the more than 30 heavy bombers yesterday, there are more than 10 light bombers, which is already the full strength of the Chinese Air Force bomber.

This time, the b17 showed great power. The cross b17s still landed dozens of tons in the narrow landing field at Sichuan Shakou, and gathered in the landing field as if in hell. For the first time, they felt fear, and the bomb exploded around. The broken limbs and arms splashed everywhere, and all the materials on the shore were destroyed. The Japanese army in Luodian were forced to stop the attack.

The Japanese army in Wusongkou was even more miserable. The Third Division of the Landing Area from Wusongkou had more than 3,000 people landed on the shore, and the troops were divided into two groups to launch an attack on the Chinese defenders. When the Chinese Air Force arrived, the latest batch of Japanese troops were disembarking. As a result, the Chinese Air Force suffered heavy blows, and up to 50% of the soldiers were killed. All supplies were destroyed, and three landing crafts were also bombed.

Matsui Ishione almost vomited blood when he saw this scene on the flagship Izumo. He knew that he had miscalculated. He made at least two mistakes. One was that he should not have launched a landing battle without air superiority. Secondly, after he got ashore last night, he should have ordered the troops to quickly attack Wusongluodian and should not stay in the landing ground. He lost the fighter plane, not to mention that he was hit by the Chinese Air Force.

"Telection from the Tokyo General Staff Headquarters, first, after the early morning of the morning, the headquarters defeated the Chinese army in Sichuan Shakou, Lion Forest, Wusongkou and successfully landed; second, after being attacked by the Chinese Air Force and the troops suffered huge losses. At present, our troops were trapped in the landing ground and requested additional air force support and increased troops. The Ministry of Service is expected to completely defeat the Chinese army in Songhu area, and the reinforcements must not be less than 50,000 reinforcements."

The telegram from Matsui Ishigeni caused great differences in the Tokyo General Staff Headquarters. It was a place where the Chinese Air Force Japanese understood. Except for those 100 P40s, the others were basically worth talking about and were far from being able to catch up with the Imperial Air Force. But unexpectedly, they became an air force power overnight. Not only did they defeat the Imperial Air Force, but they also stopped the Imperial Army and the Imperial Army attack.

The staff part of how to deal with Matsui Ishien's telegram has two opinions. Ishihara Kanir believes that it should take the opportunity to negotiate with Chiang Kai-shek, and ending the war in three months is just a joke. It has been almost two months now, and the war is far from seeing the signal of the end, but the bigger it is.
