Chapter 88 Battle of Songhu (8)
Chapter 88: Battle of Shanghai (8)
"Even a small security chief can see the current situation. The chairman, he has too many concerns." Zhang Zhizhong couldn't help but sigh deeply with the telegram sent by the adjutant. Chen Xiuwen's telegram proposed to take the initiative, which coincided with his point of view.
"Have the 87th Division and the 80th Division started to take action?" Zhang Zhizhong looked up at his adjutant and asked. Although he showed dissatisfaction with Chairman Jiang in front of the adjutant, he was himself, and Zhang Zhizhong was not worried.
"The 87th Division and the 88th Division have begun to assemble, and they will all arrive in Suzhou by noon tomorrow." The adjutant replied quickly.
"Tell Wang Jingjiu and Sun Yuanliang that they are ready for battle and ready to reinforce Shanghai at any time."
After the adjutant received the order, Zhang Zhizhong picked up the telegram in his hand and frowned in embarrassment. However, after a little thought, he still picked up the phone: "Click me the aviation committee, Director Zhou Zhirou."
Dai Li waited for two hours in the waiting room. After He Yingqin, Wang Chonghui and other military and political leaders left, they were invited by the attendant to see Chiang Kai-shek.
When he walked into the living room, Jiang Zhongzheng sat on a single sofa, his face looked very tired. When Dai Li came to Qilu, he had already learned about Shanghai and Zhang Zhizhong had already reported to Jiang Zhongzheng.
"Principal, this time the student did not investigate the Shanghai incident in time, so please punish him." Dai Li walked to the sofa respectfully and said with his head down.
A hint of anger appeared on Chiang Kai-shek's face and said coldly: "Tell me, how did the matter happen?"
Dai Li straightened his body and replied respectfully: "The cause of the incident is just as the Japanese Marine Corps protested to the Shanghai Municipal Government and the Shanghai Guard Command. Two officers of the Marine Corps were attacked in the French Concession. One of them was the Kitajima family, a prominent family from Japan. The Japanese Marine Corps determined that the incident was done by the Third Security Regiment of Shanghai, but the Third Security Regiment refused to admit it. Then, the Japanese Marine Corps sent a guard to Hongqiao Airport to seek people. The two sides clashed at the gate. The Neon Army took the lead in shooting and killing and injured several soldiers of the Third Security Regiment. The Third Security Regiment counterattacked and wiped out the Marine Corps' security, which led to the Shanghai Incident."
"My Niang Xipi, the Japanese are too arrogant." After hearing Dai Li's report, Chiang Kai-shek cursed with anger. Then, he asked in a bad mood: "Did you find out whether these two Japanese Marine officers were attacked by the Third Security Regiment?"
"This should not be. According to the news we received, except for the commander of the Third Security Regiment, Shen Xiuwen, there were no other officers and soldiers going out. Shen Xiuwen was unlikely to have a conflict with two Japanese Marines alone. However, the attack of the two Japanese officers was indeed true, and their injuries were relatively serious. Judging from the fact that one of them was the Kitajima family, this was not like an incident deliberately planned by the Japanese garrison, it should be an occasional incident."
Chiang Kai-shek nodded. He had traveled to Japan three times and had been in Japan for several years. He also knew the power of the Kitajima family in Japan. If this was an incident deliberately planned by the Neon Army stationed in Shanghai, they would not have taken the officers of the Kitajima family as a victim. From this point of view, he also agreed with Dai Li's analysis. At the same time, Chiang Kai-shek was so clear about Dai Li's movements of the Third Shanghai Security Regiment, and couldn't help but look up at him in surprise.
Dai Li quickly explained: "The deputy chief of staff of the Third Shanghai Security Regiment was originally the leader of the Shanghai Leasing Intelligence Group of our Secret Service."
"You arranged it in?" Jiang Zhongzheng frowned slightly when he heard this.
The Third Shanghai Security Regiment was nominally a security regiment, but in fact it was a mobile force arranged by Zhang Zhizhong in Shanghai. Jiang Zhongzheng himself attached great importance to this. What's more, the regiment leader Chen Xiuwen had received his personal commendation, and was also the younger brother of Chen Xiude, the leader of the first room and the second group.
Dai Li hurriedly said, "Oh, no. Principal, he was asked by Commander-in-Chief Zhang specifically, and it was proposed by Captain Chen himself."
Chiang Kai-shek nodded this time, then pointed his finger at Dai Li, and said with care: "You should focus on gcd and the Japanese. Although we are negotiating with gcd, they are omnipresent. We have learned a profound lesson in this regard. We must strictly prevent them from taking this opportunity to penetrate into all aspects of ours. In addition, in this Shanghai Incident, you must pay special attention to the dynamics of Japan."
Dai Li quickly responded: "Students must follow the principal's instructions."
At this time, a servant knocked in and reported: "Chairman, Director Zhou of the Aviation Commission has called."
Jiang Zhongzheng nodded and said, "Come in." As he said that, he stood up, waved his hand, and signaled Dai Li to retreat.
After listening to Zhou Zhirou's request on the phone, Chiang Kai-shek's eyebrows frowned into the Sichuan character and said, "Now we must observe the changes in the situation. It is a violation of the "Songhu Armistice Agreement" when we rashly use the Air Force." After that, Chiang Kai-shek pondered for a moment and said, "You can send an air force brigade to Hangzhou Jianqiao Airport first. However, before the Neon Army takes the lead, the Jianqiao aircraft must not take off."
After hanging up the phone, Chiang Kai-shek stared at the night sky outside the window. The domestic situation had just settled, and negotiations with GCD had just begun. Everything was not ready. At this time, the war with Japan was launched in full swing and there was no chance of winning.
"Be cautious, you still need to be cautious." Chiang Kai-shek sighed deeply.
Huang Likui took three rows of troops to the enemy's back and happened to meet Peng Hui and rushed from the opposite side to reinforce the Neon Army team that was confronting one row. The two sides attacked each other in front and behind, and soon all the Neon Army team had been wiped out.
"The turtle cover, beautifully done, and he brought the Japanese artillery position in an instant." Huang Likui stepped forward and punched Peng Hui in the chest, laughing.
Peng Hui smiled bitterly and said, "It was Tang Cheng who brought a few brothers. I don't know what's going on with them yet?" After Peng Hui attracted the attention of the Neon Army on the flank, the first row and the detoured Japanese were already in a state of fire. Peng Hui did not dare to delay it. He immediately brought two platoons to reinforce, but he could not respond to Tang Cheng at all.
"Don't worry, this kid Tang Cheng is very terrifying. It's not so easy for little Japanese to bite him. He will come back." Huang Likui's face also became dark, but he immediately smiled and comforted.
At this moment, the explosion of a grenade suddenly came from behind, followed by a burst of gunfire.
"The sound of the Galand rifle should be Tang Cheng." Peng Hui held his breath and shouted immediately. Then he listened carefully for a while, and couldn't help but worry: "There are quite a lot of Japanese people. It seems that there are more than one team. Likui, I will leave a row for you, so you will have much trouble with the Japanese here. I have to rush over to pick up Tang Cheng and the others and block this group of Japanese at will."
"You'd better take the first row away. I have a platoon from the Third Battalion here, so it's enough to clean up two teams of Japanese devils. You have to give me a chance to show off, right?" Huang Likui still patted Peng Hui's shoulder and smiled. After finally surrounding these Japanese devils, Huang Likui was still thinking about competing with the spies.
Peng Hui obviously saw Huang Likui’s thoughts and smiled and said, “Thank you. I’ll treat you to a drink after the war.”
What made Wu Qianjing angry was that after just a few steps, he encountered a thunder made of grenades, which did not count on the explosion. The explosion was also true, and then the firelight flew over from somewhere and hit a soldier standing in front of Wu Qianjing.
"Ba Geyalu, despicable Chinese, come out." Wu Qianjing couldn't help it, and pulled out the command knife and howled.
"Captain of the Squadron, be careful." Before he could finish calling, a sergeant next to him rushed to Wu Qianjing in time, and a bullet flew over Wu Qianjing's head. Wu Qianjing was so scared that he immediately said nothing.
"What a pity." One hundred and fifty meters away, the fourth squad leader put away the rifle in his hand and sighed inwardly.
"Let's go ahead and wait for them until they dare not move forward." In the darkness, Tang Cheng gently greeted the four brothers scattered around him.
Wu Qianjing slowly got up from the ground, shook off the sergeant who was holding his hand without any appreciation, and ordered: "Continue to move forward and be careful of your feet."
The invisible enemy is the most terrifying. After learning two lessons and losing nearly ten soldiers, the Neon Army in the Second Squadron all seemed to be facing a great enemy, and they moved forward carefully, and no longer dared to move forward as big as before. At this time, Wu Qianjing didn't care about the increasingly urgent gunfire sounds in front of him and no longer urged to move forward quickly.
Tang Cheng and his brothers from Class 4 quickly moved in the woods. They wanted to snatch the thunder in front of the group of devils, set up a thunder, and ambush them again. Suddenly, Tang Cheng, who was running in the front, suddenly stopped and made a gesture. Everyone squatted down, held a gun to guard the surroundings, and fired at any time.
"Gugu, Gugu." A few cuckoo cries came from the front, which were sounds. Tang Cheng's originally nervous expression suddenly relaxed, and then he immediately reached out and put his hand on his mouth and responded twice.
There was a rustling sound in front of him, and Peng Hui and the brothers of the spy company appeared in front of Tang Cheng.
"Tang Cheng, good." Peng Hui laughed softly and punched Tang Cheng, then looked behind Tang Cheng, and the smile on his face slowly faded.
"Six artillery brothers, two heavy machine gunners, and one brother from the fourth squad are all killed. Now we are the only ones left." Tang Cheng said with a sad expression.
Peng Hui patted Tang Cheng on the shoulder and comforted him: "These sacrificed brothers are all good." He said immediately, "How many Japanese are there behind you?"
"A squadron of the Japanese were chasing us. Later, probably because he heard the gunshots in front of him, he gave up chasing us and reinforced us. A few of us wanted to stop them and delay their reinforcements." After saying that, Tang Cheng smiled and said, "I have beaten them twice and killed more than a dozen Japanese. Now they don't dare to go fast."
"Okay, the Japanese in front have been surrounded by the first battalion and company. We are blocking the Japanese in this squadron here and trying to find a way to eat them."
Maeda Toshio now feels like he is difficult to get off the road, and he regrets his attack on Hongqiao Airport today. The artillery squadron was wiped out and all the trucks were lost. Masaino Ichiken's first brigade had already lost more than half of it, and now he can still hold in front of the defensive position, making it difficult to move forward. He has lost all his heavy firepower, and the opponent's heavy firepower has just begun to show.
As the gunfire in the woods became more and more dense, and there were both in front and behind, Maeda Toshio knew in his heart that not only Yoshikawa Toshiro encountered a block, but even the Wusau squadron he sent to reinforce was also encountered a block. Maeda Toshio did not understand how many troops the Third Security Regiment had ambushed in the woods, and according to the information just received, there was also a battalion of the Third Security Regiment at Longhua Airport.
"What kind of troops does this Third Security Regiment support?" Maeda Toshio sighed and said to himself. He even suspected that he was not facing a security regiment but a division of the Huazheng Army.
The sky was completely dark, with strong frontal attacks and roundabout flank tactics, now under the fierce firepower of the Chinese national team, it is completely impossible to achieve.
"Take a signal flare and order all attacking troops to retreat." Maeda Toshio frowned and finally issued an order to retreat.
"Ba,Ba" two signal flares rose from the Neon Army's position into the air.
"Retreat." The squadron leader lying beside Noiyi's gym shouted in surprise.
Under the fierce firepower of the Chinese national team for a long time, everyone in the attacking Neon Army had already lost their fighting spirit. Seeing the signal flares of retreat, there was no better news in their hearts than this.
Masaino's face suddenly turned pale, and he waved his hand and said, "You can organize the troops to retreat immediately."
"Hay, Captain." The squadron leader happily accepted the order.
Masaino Ichiken looked up at the front position and looked at it with a loss. He slowly took out a Southern Fourteen-style pistol from the holster at his waist, then turned his head to look in the direction of Japan, and silently shouted in his heart: "Sakiko is farewell forever, the children are farewell forever."
Masano Ichiken slowly pointed the gun at his head, closed his eyes and pulled the trigger.
"Captain." When Masao Ikan aimed at his head, the squadron leader who was commanding the troops to retreat turned his head. Looking at this scene, he screamed in shock. The moment he pulled the trigger, he reached out and hit Masao Ikan with the gun.
