Chapter 77: The Great Army Presses the Realm
The Chief Officer of the Third War Zone.
After learning that the War Zone Commander-in-Chief Chen Cixiu, he nodded happily: "At the critical moment, Yang Jing and his Huben Camp are still reliable!"
Luo Youqing, who was standing beside him, couldn't help but nod and praise: "Yes, this Yang Jing is really a blessing general of the party and the country. The Hu Ben camp under his command is worthy of the word "Hu Ben". How lucky it is to have Yang Jing's troops as our palace behind!"
Yang Jing turned out to be from Luo Youqing's 15th Group, so his praise for Yang Jing was completely from the bottom of his heart.
Because Yang Jing made great contributions, his face was also shining!
After a pause, Luo Youqing thought of the current unfavorable situation, put away the smile on his face and said seriously: "However, the huge gap between the Huben Camp and the 10th Japanese Army is too big after all.
If the main Japanese army troops arrive, no matter how powerful Yang Jing is, he may not be able to withstand it for too long. We still have to urge reinforcements, even if we go to strengthen Songjiang's defensive power!"
Chen Cixiu nodded deeply: "Well, ask where Wu Jingshan is now? Order him to arrive in Songjiang as soon as possible and join Yu Yangjing's troops!"
Luo Youqing said: "Sir, if Wu Jingshan leads his troops to Linsongjiang, who will be in charge of unified command?
Although Yang Jing is very capable, it is most appropriate for him to be the commander-in-chief of Songjiang. But after all, he is a lieutenant colonel, and Wu Jingshan is a lieutenant general commander. If a lieutenant colonel commands a lieutenant general commander, it is difficult to convince the public."
Chen Cixiu frowned and thought, "You Qing, what you are worried about is reasonable. Let's do this. In name, Wu Jingshan is appointed as the commander of Songjiang City Defense and Yang Jing is the tactical consultant.
But the specific frontier war is entirely under the responsibility of Yang Jing!"
…………
The south bank of the Huangpu River.
The main units of the 6th Japanese Division arrived one after another.
Although Jinshanwei is only 60 miles away from Songjiang, it is logical that the Japanese army can arrive in two hours.
However, within these 60 miles, there were various streams and rivers, dense water networks, and the bridges along the way had been blown up in advance by Yang Jing's orders to guard platoons, which greatly restricted the Japanese army's mobility.
So much so that the main force of the Oita Japanese army and its heavy troops needed engineers to pave the road and build bridges before they could continue to advance. They were left far behind by the vanguard, for a full three or four hours.
at this time.
In a dense forest not far from the river, a group of Japanese orderly soldiers were busy building military tents, bunkers and antennas needed for radio stations.
Lieutenant General Seokoo, the head of the Japanese division, was sitting on the ammunition box piled up next to him, waiting for the command center to be established.
Not long after, a Japanese scout suddenly rushed over from the front, stood up and saluted to Gu Suo and said, "Report to the division commander, something is not good! I just got the news that our vanguard was ambushed by the Chinese army on the north bank of Songjiang, and the entire army has been destroyed!"
It's a bolt from the blue, this is!
The division commander of the division, Sekisuo, and the chief of staff, Shimoo Kazuo, and other Japanese officers were shocked. The old Japanese devil stood up and asked with disbelief: "Nani? Is the news accurate?"
The Japanese scouts who came to report did not dare to face the sharp gaze that was almost killing when they looked at Tani Shouo, and lowered their heads slightly and said, "Hayi! The news is true!"
"Baga Road! Do you know the number of the troops of the Songjiang Chinese defenders?" Tani Shoufu was furious. With the equipment level and combat effectiveness of the Imperial Army, a vanguard with more than a thousand people was completely wiped out by the opponent in such a short period of time. This was undoubtedly a great insult to the 6th Division.
If it is spread, will your colleagues still laugh at you?
"Please forgive me for your crime, but this is unknown for the time being." The Japanese scout replied tremblingly, fearing that one of them would anger the division commander Seōo and cause a catastrophe.
Tani Shoufu was very angry and turned his head to look at the intelligence officer next to him and gritted his teeth, "Baga, the road! Immediately instructed the intelligence department to immediately investigate the specific information such as the enemy number on the opposite side."
"Hayi!" The intelligence officer next to him quickly bowed his head and took the order.
Chief of Staff Kazuki Shimoya came back from his initial shock and suggested to Tani Shou, who was in anger: "Please calm down. The vanguard army went deep alone and did not carry heavy firepower weapons. It was not surprising that the entire army was ambushed and wiped out.
However, this loss of troops is not enough to hurt us. We should put the overall situation first and organize our troops to prepare to cross the river and conquer Songjiang County according to the orders of the military headquarters!”
Tansuo's mouth twitched, and he jumped out of the words while biting his back teeth: "Order the baggage corps and the engineer corps to quickly collect ferry boats and build pontoon bridges.
The artillery gang and machine gun team quickly built positions and prepared to cover the attacking troops to cross the river!
In addition, we will ask the headquarters to provide air fire support.”
Chief of Staff Shirlguchi Ichiho quickly paused: "Hayi!"
Gu Shoufu had an old face gloomy and said sternly, "Tell the attacking troops that their goal is to use the blood of the Songjiang defenders to cleanse the shame of the imperial army!
After success, no one will stay in Songjiang County! If any Chinese prisoners are executed, they will be executed on the spot to comfort the loyal souls of more than a thousand imperial soldiers in the vanguard."
Shirō Ichiho paused again: "Hayi, I understand!"
...
The Japanese army was very efficient.
Soon, its engineer corps and baggage corps gathered enough materials and began to build a floating bridge upstream and downstream of Songjiang Wharf.
At the same time, a batch of fishing boats and rubber boats were collected for crossing the river.
...
Frontier positions of Huben Camp.
Yang Jing was sitting in the command post smoking, and Ma Haifeng, the deputy battalion commander in charge of reconnaissance, suddenly rushed in from outside.
"Report to the battalion commander, according to the observations of the scouts, the units of the 6th Division of the Japanese Army have been assembled on the south bank of the Huangpu River."
"knew."
All this was as expected by Yang Jing. He took a sip of the Hetianxia cigarette in his hand, snatched it out and threw it on the ground. Then he stood up and picked up a pair of military telescopes from the command table and walked towards the command department.
After leaving the command center, Yang Jing stepped to a high ground a hundred meters away on the left, then raised his telescope and looked at the south bank of the Huangpu River in the distance.
In the telescope's sight, the Japanese troops were busy building various fortifications on the south bank of the Huangpu River.
Some Japanese carried wood, wooden boards and other items needed to build a floating bridge and walked towards the riverside.
By observing these situations of the enemy opposite, it is not difficult to analyze that the Japanese are preparing to cross the river.
After observing for a while, Yang Jing slowly lowered the telescope.
"You little Japanese, come across the river if you are not afraid of death."
Yang Jing smiled coldly, with a murderous look on his face.
Even when facing a division of the Japanese army, he was not afraid.
It is not that he can only defeat a division of the Japanese army. The key to the problem is that if the Japanese army wants to attack the north bank of the Huangpu River, they must cross the river to land in order to fight.
The Huangpu River is undoubtedly the best defensive line at this time.
There were not many Japanese ships crossing the river, and even if they built floating bridges, it would not be possible to build too many in a short period of time.
It was so impossible for the Japanese army to send large troops to siege, so they could only adopt an echelon attack mode.
In this way, the Japanese army that can participate in the attack at the first time may be worse than the Huben Camp.
In addition, there are natural dangers in the Huangpu River, so in terms of the situation on the battlefield, it is actually tilted towards the Huben Camp.
