Chapter 601 take care of face
,My teacher Feng Tiankui
On the truck, the correspondents from the direct company kept contacting each other. Zhou Xiaoshan looked at the shells and smashed the Japanese warships on the Huangpu River, while asking the car to meet with Chu Tianshu and Feng Tiankui in the direction of the scheduled attack on the Japanese concession.
The artillery of the 66th Army was all heavy artillery with a caliber of 105 or above, landing on warships and on docks. In addition to the huge flames, smoke and waves of air, the long-lost sound shocked the beach.
Shocked, the entire Shanghai, whether it is the public concession, the French concession, or the Japanese concession.
Whether it is Japanese, Chinese, British, French, American.
How is it possible? On November 11, Shanghai Mayor Yu Hongjun wrote a letter to bid farewell to Shanghai citizens and declared the fall of Shanghai.
The Chinese army was fighting back so soon?
Countless Chinese people were so depressed when watching the Japanese celebrate the capture of Nanjing.
But the sound of the cannon was too shocking.
Seeing the shooting like a meteor, it smashed into the Shanghai Airport, hit the Huangpu River, landed on the dock, and on the Japanese warship.
It seemed like I had seen a shocking drama, and was shocked for a long time.
The Chinese living in the French Concession in Shanghai, and the public concession burst into an orderly cheer.
Many foreigners wanted to find a place to hide it at first. After more than ten minutes, the brave reporters, businessmen and consuls began to report to various places.
Notify the news of the Chinese army and counterattacking Shanghai.
Even more shocked was Chen Cheng. He had just inspected the defensive positions of the 166th Normal School blocking the Japanese reinforcements at the railway station. The telegram ordered Hu Lian's 119th Brigade to attack Suzhou from the east, south, and west Taihu Lake, and received a telegram from the attendant's room.
Don’t you say it’s a fight against Suzhou?
How could you fight Shanghai?
Chen Cheng, who had the telegram from the communications soldier, showed an incredible expression, and then smiled bitterly and handed the telegram to Pan Wenhua.
"Commander Pan, you're joking. Didn't we say we are the main attack, the 66th Army, the 88th Army, and the 50th Army's remnants? According to the casualties reported by the Sichuan Army, they have been wiped out, and then they have reorganized them again. How many soldiers do the three bastards have in their hands? The Japanese in Shanghai have at least 20,000, which is comparable to a division. The time for this night is too short. If they are back from the Japanese counterattack, Suzhou will not be able to take them down, and the casualties may be very large."
"Don't worry, it's Tiankui's plan to restrain Shanghai by attack instead of defense. Just now, the commander of the commander was so angry that he ordered the 66th Army, 88th Army, and 50th Army to make things bigger, the capital fell, the seventh War Zone was so good, and there were still available soldiers. We can't do nothing, right?"
"How can you not tell me what Tiankui and his friends plan?"
"A large part of them are recruits, and they are nothing more than using offense instead of training. Didn't you say that you don't care what they do, just block the Japanese army? Tiankui and the others are preparing to shell the Japanese airport and the Huangpu River fleet. The main force attacked Kunshan and occupied the railways and along the highways."
"real?"
"Isn't this a cooperation with your combat? The two brigades broke the whole into pieces and carried out harassing attacks on some Japanese economic targets such as Shanghai Railway Station, docks, and concessions. If they really want to turn the enemy on the front line, they will definitely wait for the 119th Brigade to start and the Japanese reinforcements of Suzhou and then take action."
Pan Wenhua was sincere and took good care of his face as the deputy commander of the war zone. The deployment of the Sichuan Army was not a problem in supporting their attack on Suzhou. He bombarded the railway station, airport, fleet, and then went to harass the station, dock, and concession. The Japanese must not be able to reinforce Suzhou tonight. If the Japanese army that captured Nanjing could not return to the rescue in time, the Japanese would not be able to take Suzhou tomorrow.
Soon, Chen Cheng called back to the attendant's room.
He took the initiative to take the responsibility, and he asked Feng Tiankui to restrain the Japanese army in Shanghai to support Suzhou no matter what means he used. He just never thought that Guo Xunqi, Fan Shaozeng, and Feng Tiankui would fight like this.
In front of Pan Wenhua, Chen Cheng also helped Feng Tiankui explain that the troops in their hands were too damaged and could only use them to seize Japanese artillery in Taihu Lake.
The attendant's room was obviously surprised by Chen Cheng's plan and immediately sent a telegram to remind him.
Feng Tiankui and others should pay attention to international influence. They would rather suffer losses than provoke merchants and consuls from the concessions of Britain, France and the United States, and especially bullets and shells, not fall into the public concessions and French concessions.
Chen Cheng thought about it and sent a telegram to the attendant's room, asking if he needed to rescue Xie Jinyuan's delegation who was detained by the British.
The attendant's room did not call back.
Turning to the whole country, at this special moment today, the Chinese army in the seventh war zone lived to death, defended the territory left by our ancestors with their lives, and counterattacked Shanghai tonight.
As soon as the news came out, the whole country was shocked.
Immediately afterwards, several foreign media confirmed the news.
No matter how sad the country fell from the fall of the capital, there were some shocked people.
Instead, the Japanese Central China Front Army outside Nanjing.
Matsui Ishigen came to the 6th Division, and the 114th Division ordered the remnants of the city to be defeated tomorrow, and then the entry ceremony began.
Shanghai, Suzhou, and Wuxi were attacked at the same time, which surprised him.
He had read the telegram from Tani Suzuo, but he didn't believe that after a head-on battle with the 10th Army at night, the Chinese army did not retreat to the rear to repair it. Instead, as Tani Suzuo expected, just like the remnants of the 10th Army, he insisted on fighting and pulled the cannons to Shanghai.
Shigeji Sumatsu and Tanisuo who were called to the Front Command were also shocked.
Especially Tani Suo, he was just a intuition at the beginning, without any evidence or signs of reminding him.
Who knew that unfortunately I was caught up in it?
The Shanghai Airport suffered a lot of losses. The shells hit the oil barrels piled in the open air at the airport, causing a death explosion. The Chinese were unwilling to give up and kept smashing shells inside. Even the airport terminal was hit by two shells.
The warships on the Huangpu River were even more deadly. The navy was carnival in the headquarters and restaurants in the concession. The warships leaned on the river and had no ability to fight back at all.
Watching the explosion, the sailors and gunners were not reliable.
"Mr. Commander, I have set a trap for the Chinese army in Suzhou. The important issue is Shanghai. You must contact the docks and train stations immediately. If you can retreat, you will retreat to the territory of the French Concession and the British and American Concessions. The front and Navy Command are large in the local area, and there are many bunkers outside. Organize artillery and machine gun positions, rely on the terrain, do not attack easily, and you will definitely stick to it until dawn tomorrow."
The headquarters was in an uproar.
The airport was bombarded and the loss was a foregone conclusion. The retreat was reasonable, but the train station, dock, and a large amount of supplies.
How can you give up easily?
Matsui Ishione didn't say anything. Fujita-jin, the commander of the 3rd Division, was next to him, expressed doubts about the defeated general Tani Shouo.
"Baga, we have more than 20,000 warriors in Shanghai. How could we be afraid of the Sichuan Army?"
I really think that the nearly 100,000 warriors of the 10th Army were all worth the money.
Tani Suo simply stopped talking.
Chapter completed!
