Chapter 606 Too ruthless
Chen Cheng didn't expect that Pan Wenhua gave him this advice today and saved his two groups.
Hu Lian ordered the Third Regiment to rush into the only camp controlled by the Japanese in Suzhou City under the cover of the 23rd Army artillery. This was a concentration camp temporarily renovated by factories and warehouses, but they were greeted with a shocking explosion.
Explosion and the earth shakes.
Even the temporary command center outside the city was shaking constantly.
Fan Ming's 166th Division, which restrained the Japanese army at the railway station, kept sending newspapers to ask what was going on.
The dust fell, and all the officers ran out to see the situation.
The Japanese detonated the embedded explosives.
The prisoners of war, the people, and the three groups that rushed in were torn to pieces by a large amount of explosives.
The explosion even affected two regiments that were feinted on the periphery. Some soldiers were blown back and forth by the air waves, causing considerable casualties.
It was dark and the two frontline commanders didn't know how many casualties would be in this explosion.
From the explosion center, there was no movement.
More than 10,000 prisoners of war and people imprisoned in concentration camps are almost impossible to survive.
The Japanese are so cruel. This is more than 10,000 unarmed innocent lives.
Blood can be felt in the dust.
When they went out, they could not see anything and dared not lose the frontier. Before the dust at the command center had dissipated, Chen Cheng and Hu Lian got into the room again...
Try to know the situation of front-line losses.
Not yet contacted the frontline.
However, the telegram received a telegram from the 18th Army.
Even if the capital Nanjing is occupied, the Chinese nation will never surrender!
The war of scorched earth resistance, every inch of mountains and rivers is every inch of blood.
On the special day when the Japanese army occupied Nanjing, the 18th Army detonated the explosives buried in Chengde. The Japanese 2nd Division and the 3rd and 36th Regiments suffered heavy losses in the explosion. Part of the Cavalry Brigade of the 120th Division of the 18th Army took advantage of the situation to launch an attack on the remnants of the Japanese and would recover Chengde tonight.
Good news, good fight, the 18th Army won another victory and destroyed two elite Japanese deeds in the regiment.
The victory of friendly forces is also the victory of the Chinese. Pan Wenhua raised his arms and waved them with a smile, and the command center was filled with cheering sounds.
Chen Cheng couldn't laugh. This kind of attack method of burying explosives was too vicious. The Japanese, Communist and Sichuan troops all did this. In order to fight this war, one must be very careful.
Needless to say, this is definitely the case here in Suzhou. Fortunately, Hu Lian is calm enough and did not let himself compensate the entire brigade.
No, the Central Army also had to do this. He made up his mind that after this battle, he would also go to the military commander office and ask them to find Fan Xudong and Wu Yunchu to provide some explosives for the front line. Maybe he didn't have any control over other factions, but his 15th Army must have enough explosives.
Matsui Ishione did not let the 114th Division and the 6th Division return to Shanghai, because Tanisuo and Shigeji Matsumatsu both judged that the Sichuan Army would never occupy Shanghai, and they would run away tomorrow as soon as the daylight tomorrow. The Sichuan Army knew very well that even if the planes from Hongqiao Airport were knocked down, in Hangzhou Bay, the Imperial Japanese Navy had four aircraft carriers waiting for them.
The Sichuan Army cherishes his life very much. He will not let go of the advantage if he can take advantage, nor will he be angry.
It was precisely because of their cherishing life that the Japanese army had all the air superiority and fought hard against the 10th Army and preserved their strength to such strength.
Since Tanisuo and Shigeji Matsumatsu both judged that the Sichuan army would retreat overnight to occupy it, and they would retreat even if they couldn't wait to dawn, Matsui Ishien thought there was no need to send troops back to Shanghai.
He didn't believe it anymore. The Japanese Concession Navy and Army Command were destroyed by the Chinese team overnight.
I don't believe that they will be wiped out by the entire army.
He was even more afraid that the two divisions would encounter an ambush when they encountered the Sichuan Army on the way back.
Especially after the 18th Group Army issued a power, the explosion in Chengde reported by the Kwantung Army made him feel that it was right not to send the 114th Division and the 6th Division to support Wuxi Suzhou.
However, after the railway station was lost and the airport was attacked, less than one brigade was withdrawn, which still made him feel heartbroken.
While ordering the soldiers to retreat to the Concession Command, they will retreat. If they cannot retreat, they will go to the public concession, British and American forces and French concessions.
On the one hand, a battalion and a group of staff members who were left behind at the Japanese Army Command were under artillery fire to organize defense.
This battle was too boring.
Seeing the Suzhou battlefield reward, the explosion severely damaged the attacking Chinese troops.
Immediately afterwards, news of the explosion in Chengde was received.
He swore in his heart that the Chinese must pay the price.
The bad news has not stopped, and telegrams have been heard constantly. Several bank buildings in the Japanese concession ignited a sky-high fire. The dock was occupied by the Chinese team and the remaining troops were wiped out. The eight ships docked on the Huangpu River in the Navy sank four of them in the shelling, and the remaining four were also riddled with holes.
Zhou Xiaoshan and his team directly joined the third row of the guard regiment and the baggage regiment, and swept through several large Japanese trading companies on the interface.
Unfortunately, apart from the large amount of Chinese furniture and machinery in the warehouse, I haven't found much valuable things.
I found some gasoline.
I just moved part of it to the car.
After receiving a telegram from Zheng Chong, a Japanese military ordnance warehouse was found at the wharf.
Zhou Xiaoshan simply ordered to pour gasoline nearby and burned the Japanese trading company together.
Then he drove more than 300 empty-load cars into the city with the baggage regiment and arrived at the dock warehouse.
Boxes of cannonballs and bullets were urgently needed by the Sichuan Army.
Not to mention some rifles, grenade launchers, light and heavy machine guns and curved cannons.
The Japanese supervisor and traitor foreman at the dock have been killed, and the workers who stayed up late to carry the transport have been collected.
Zhou Xiaoshan took out a stack of yen and fiat currency and started to pay.
In 2 hours, all the cars driven by the Sichuan Army were filled, and each person paid ten times the salary in a mixed manner except for the Japanese yen and fiat currency.
You will also have to reward the ocean.
With Yu Qiaqing's help, not only did the workers on the scene actively help the Zhongzhang team carry supplies, but also called many nearby workers who carried them for one day and off work at night.
Zhou Xiaoshan strangely discovered that there were very few cars in the Japanese concession.
The parking lots at the docks of several baggage corps are empty.
The Japanese didn't know what orders they received, so they drove their cars to the French Concession.
Peng Hua'an contacted Chinese businessmen and only borrowed more than 30 trucks and more than 100 horse-drawn carriages.
Unwilling to give up, Zhou Xiaoshan drove a seized car and followed the direct company to find thirteen trucks in the Japanese concession, three of which were still broken.
However, the horses and carriages gathered a lot.
Let the two battalions of the Guards stare at the dock and be responsible for the guards of the main group. Su Hai brought one direct company and one platoon to pretend to be a devil to rescue the remaining brothers of Xie Jinyuan who were imprisoned by the British. It would be better to have a fight in the British Concession and pretend to be killed by the Japanese.
He was not idle either, so he simply accompanied his direct company to find trouble for Cave 181.
Shanghai was in chaos, and both Japanese soldiers and Japanese became refugees and went to the public concessions of the British and American concessions and the French concessions.
The consuls of the Three Kingdoms in the two concessions have sent many telegrams to the attendants in Wuhan.
Warn the Military Commission to restrain the army.
The battlefield can only be limited to the Chinese and Japanese concessions, and must not affect the British and American territories and French concessions in the public concessions.
