Chen Cheng knew very well: many important members of the national army studied in Japanese military schools and non-commissioned officer schools.

He is inextricably linked to these Japanese commanders, such as Captain Tomosaka Naoki and Captain Takeda Seiichi.

There must be quite a few classmates and alumni within ourselves, but we cannot let them let these devils run away.

As for those ordinary devils, it doesn't matter if there are more or less.

Chen Cheng immediately understood the chairman's thoughts: "Principal, please don't worry, the students will definitely arrange this matter."

"I can rest assured that you will do the work!"

The chairman was now very excited and said to a room full of senior counselors: "Now we can consider the next specific combat plan against the Japanese who are entrenched in the Changshu area to the west of Luodian."

A room full of people had just discussed this issue many times.

Now it's time to set a specific time.

Bai Chongxi said: "Commitment! The soldiers are very quick. The encirclement and suppression of the Japanese Third Division will be completed this afternoon.

All units can go to the new battlefield overnight."

Liu Zhi said with some worry: "The soldiers continue to fight, although mentally they will be very excited because of the big victory.

But there will definitely be a lack of physical strength.”

Chen Cheng looked at the expectant expression on Chairman Jiang's face and immediately said:

"This time we have deployed a total of ten infantry divisions and one artillery regiment in the Yuepu, Yanghang, and Baoshan areas.

The soldiers had to work hard before, but this time they defeated many enemies;

However, the soldiers' hard work was much easier than in the past when it was easier to hold on to the defense line despite the enemy's plane fire and artillery bombardment.

The students thought: Leave one division to guard Wusongkou, Lion Grove, and Baoshan.

The remaining units participating in the battle were transferred overnight to Luodian, Taicang, Zhitang, Zhitang, Changshu, and Meili areas.

Immediately launch an attack on the Japanese 11th Division.

Although the Japanese Navy's Third Fleet and the First Air Force were annihilated in the past two days;

But the strength of the Japanese navy is still there, and their mobility is too strong. If you give them a chance, the battlefield situation may change."

"What kind of changes can be made?" In order to achieve his goal, Chairman Chiang did not hesitate to be a flatterer.

"The Japanese have two methods they can use through the navy: the first method is to use the navy's powerful transportation force to withdraw the 11th Infantry Division from this area;

The second method is to urgently transport new troops by sea from Qingniao, Goguryeo, and Northeast China to strengthen the offensive force."

The second method mentioned by Chen Cheng has already been used by the Japanese.

And it’s not just used once: although the method is old-fashioned, it is very practical.

When the Chinese army began to attack the Japanese in Shanghai in early August, the Japanese army urgently sent 3,000 Japanese from Qingdao.

The 3rd Infantry Division that was annihilated today and the 11th Infantry Division that was about to attack were both sent by the Japanese through the same method for the second time.

When Chen Cheng said this, the entire headquarters suddenly unanimously agreed: Action overnight!

Since the battle at Wusongkou Fort has ended, the first order of this new battle plan is given to the 583rd Regiment of the 98th Division:

"All defense lines of the 583rd Regiment will be immediately handed over to the regiments of the 36th Division.

Advance along the highway in the direction of Luodian, and attack along Luodian in the direction of Liuhe."

After receiving the order, Wei Mingyang knew: This was an offensive route designed for him.

After all, as long as the Second Battalion has a suitable position, it can block the Yangtze River.

Wei Mingyang did not stop, he just asked the whole battalion to move the thirty tractors and tanks.

Thirty tractor-trailers carried all the artillery shells, captured machine guns, and ammunition.

He left thousands of Type 38 rifles to Commander Liu and told him a defensive secret:

"If a Japanese warship comes over, the large troops will withdraw from the fort, and the small troops will continue to fight in the streets inside the fort.

Cooperate inside and outside to fight against the Japanese."

Of course, what Wei Mingyang wants most is that the Japanese will no longer send warships to fight for this direction.

The second battalion first moved to Baoshan to meet up with the third battalion. Along the way, you can see:

The battle on this battlefield has ended, and only a few sporadic gunshots can be heard.

This was when the national soldiers cleaning up the battlefield discovered the Japanese soldiers who had broken out, or the Japanese soldiers who were pretending to be dead hidden among the corpses.

Captain Odagiriki took a few guards, took off the captain's military uniform, and put on a Japanese sergeant's uniform.

He was lurking in the mountains and forests, waiting until dark to find a way to sneak to the riverside, and then swim down the river.

In this area, all the national soldiers began to search for the defeated Japanese soldiers in squad units.

Captain Odagirishu was discovered by a squad of soldiers.

The sergeant, who was in his fifties, was accompanied by a group of majors, including Nakayu, who was guarding him.

The soldiers who discovered it immediately determined that the old Japanese had a different identity, and simply asked him a few questions.

Odagiri Shu admitted his identity.

Caught another big fish!

Captain Seto Hikaru of the 17th Infantry Regiment and Chief of Staff Yamashita 56 were all caught while escaping.

Good news came one after another.

It is a pity that in this battle, no commander at the level of the brigade commander of the Japanese Third Division was captured.

The top brass of the national military have never done a very good job keeping secrets.

In addition to today's battle, from the Chairman to every soldier below, no one thought about hiding the news of the victory.

News that two brigades under the Japanese 3rd Infantry Division: the 5th Infantry Brigade and the 17th Infantry Brigade were completely wiped out has spread in Shanghai.

Especially the ambassadors of various countries, these well-informed people have even found out that several Japanese regiment captains were captured.

There is also the breaking news that the Japanese army group has formally surrendered.

U.S. Ambassador Johnson was discussing the situation on the Songhu battlefield with his military attache Stilwell inside the embassy.

Johnson was very worried about the current situation of the National Army. He also believed that the best way for the National Army at this time was to retreat to the Wu-Fu line and rely on permanent defense fortifications to defend.

Rather than fighting against the Japanese in the Shanghai area.

After all, the Japanese consume ammunition and money, while the national army consumes the accumulated elites and the enthusiasm of the people across the country to resist the war.

If this anti-war enthusiasm is knocked out, the whole of China will be doomed.

Stilwell wanted to refute, but had no reason or evidence.
Chapter completed!
