Luodian was lost and Jiading was in danger. The entire Battle of Shanghai was in danger. Even Chairman Jiang, who was far away in Nanjing, was alarmed and rushed to the command center overnight to hold an emergency military meeting.

At the meeting, Bai Chongxi once again quarreled with German military adviser Farkenhausen.

"I said six days ago that Shanghai cannot hold on, Shanghai cannot hold on at all. If you hold on in Shanghai, the situation will only get worse and worse. What's the matter now? I'm unfortunately impressed, right?" Bai Chongxi didn't mean to gloat, but was really worried about the situation of the war, and said to Chairman Jiang, "Committee, give up Shanghai."

Chairman Jiang was silent and said nothing. Naturally, he was unwilling to give up Shanghai in his heart. However, the situation on the battlefield in Songhu has taken a sharp turn. So a hero cut off his arm and decisively abandoned Shanghai is also an option. However, the price to pay for giving up Shanghai at this time is far more than six days ago.

Seeing that Chairman Jiang seemed a little moved, Bai Chongxi picked up a report in front of him and continued: "Committee, you must have read this report on the battle situation. Bei Zhi thought the analysis was very reasonable. It is indeed not advisable to achieve a decisive battle with the Japanese army in Shanghai. Relying on the four national defense lines of Wu Fu, Xicheng, Jiazha and Haijia, the right choice is to continue the war of resistance."

The analysis report on the battle situation in Bai Chongxi's hands was sent by Zhang Zhizhong, Zhang Fakui, Wang Jingjiu, Sun Yuanliang, Feng Shengfa and other division commanders. The report carefully analyzed the huge gap between the Chinese and Japanese armies in terms of naval and air force strength, and believed that it was not advisable to achieve the effect of the Japanese army in Shanghai, so we should decisively give up Shanghai.

Farkenhausen, who had been listening to the translation in a low voice, suddenly stood up and said excitedly: "No, you must not give up Shanghai, absolutely not. Shanghai is not only a financial place of the National Government, but also a defensive support for the entire East China. Once Shanghai is lost, Nanjing will be safe. Those simple national defense fortifications will not play any role at all."

Bai Chongxi shook his head. He didn't want to argue with Farkenhausen anymore, but just looked at Chairman Jiang and didn't say anything.

Chairman Jiang was also hesitant and suddenly asked Gu Zhutong: "Mo San, how long can the 11th Division last?"

Gu Zhutong smiled bitterly when she heard this, but after thinking about it, she answered truthfully: "Mr. I am afraid that the 11th Division will not be able to defend even for a long time."

Chairman Jiang's brows frowned and said, "So, can the troops in the city of Shanghai be drawn?"

Gu Zhutong shook his head and said helplessly: "A few days ago, the 87th Division and the 88th Division in the city of Shanghai had already transferred from offense to defense. The 36th Division, the 61st Division and the teaching corps were in Zhang Huabin, and Wusong was also fighting very hard. As for the 57th Division in Pudong, it was far away, and the second was still separated by the Huangpu River, so it was too late."

Chairman Jiang had already raised a series of blue veins on his forehead and said, "So, which unit is closest to Luodian? When will it arrive?"

Gu Zhutong said: "The closest to Luodian is Wang Yaowu's 51st Division. One of the division's brigades has arrived at Anting Station. However, a subsequent brigade and technical equipment are still on the way to Shanghai. In addition, Feng Shengfa's 58th Division has also arrived in Songjiang, but the technical equipment of the division has not yet arrived..."

"No more wait!" Chairman Jiang waved his hand and said in a deep voice, "Immediately send a telegram to Wang Yaowu and Feng Shengfa, telling them not to wait for artillery soldiers and immediately rush to Luodian with light equipment."

Gu Zhu said: "The commissioner, even if you order the 51st Division and the 58th Division to rush to Luodian lightly, it is probably too late. Anting is closer to Luodian than Songjiang, and it is nearly a hundred miles away. When encountering river barriers, you have to detour. The marching distance is at least more than a hundred miles. You can't march quickly at night, and there are Japanese opportunities to blockade during the day. Therefore, the 51st Division will have to reach Luodian until tomorrow dark at the earliest, but the 11th Division cannot hold on until tomorrow dark..."

Before he finished speaking, a high-speaker suddenly hurried in and whispered a few soft words in Chairman Jiang's ear.

Chairman Jiang was overjoyed and asked loudly: "What did you say? A regiment of the 51st Division has arrived in Luodian? Which regiment is it, 301st regiment, 302nd regiment or 306th regiment? What is their regiment commander's name?"

Gao Chan replied: "The report committee member, the 306th Regiment of Qiu Weida arrived at Luodian."

"Qiu Weida? Qiu Weida!" Chairman Jiang said, "I remember him. In the battle of Tanjiaqiao, Wang Yaowu defeated two divisions of ** in one brigade, and killed Xun Huaizhou, the most capable division commander of **. At that time, Qiu Weida was just a company commander under Wang Yaowu's command. I also personally awarded him a medal!"

Gao Chan was speechless, he really didn't know about this.

However, Chairman Jiang has a good memory, or he is very concerned about his generals. The division commanders in the National Army, whether they are the Central Army, the Northeast Army, the Northwest Army, the Shanxi Sui Army, the Gui Army, the Sichuan Army or the Eighth Route Army, Chairman Jiang knows their background well and the regiment commander can remember most of them.

"Send a message to Qiu Weida immediately..." Chairman Jiang remembered that the regiment-level unit had not yet been equipped with a radio station, so he changed his words, "Send a message to Luo Zhuoying immediately and ask Luo Zhuoying to send a correspondent to inform Qiu Weida, ordering the 306th regiment to regain Luodian at all costs, remember, at all costs."

Gu Zhutong smiled bitterly and shook his head. The old habit of the commissioner liked to command more than level was broken again.

Bai Chongxi was even more whispered in his heart. It would be fine to command the higher level, but at least you would not give a more reliable order line? Let Qiu Weida take back Luodian at all costs. Isn’t that filling the limited precious troops into the meat grinder? The most reliable way at the moment should be to let Qiu Weida’s regiment penetrate Gu Zhai and threaten the Japanese army’s back.

#############

Bai Chongxi's view coincided with Qiu Weida and Xu Shijiu. When Chairman Jiang held an emergency military meeting at the command headquarters, Qiu Weida had already led the main force of the 306th Regiment to Wudoujing north of Gu's house to set up an ambush, and Xu Shijiu had also led the No. 100 veterans of the 19th Brigade to complete the siege of Gu's house.

From a distance, the situation of Gu's house has almost no change. The village is still dark. It is estimated that the men, women, young and old in the village have already run away. However, the courtyard at the entrance of the village is still on, and a Japanese military post has also been replaced outside the gate. The Japanese military post looks like a very vigilant veteran.

The 19th Brigade lurked in the cotton field, quietly waiting for news from the 306th Regiment.

About ten minutes later, Qiu Weida's correspondent arrived, and it was ready there!

At that moment, Xu Shijiu called his uncle and Gao Shenxing to the front and ordered: "Old man brings 1 row to block the back door, Shenxing, you can bring 2 rows to block the west side, and my uncle brings 3 rows to block the east side, and the suicide squad blocks the main door with me. Each row listens to my gunshots and attacks from four directions at the same time. If you can't leave a small Japanese, you will kill all of them."

With one hand, Gao Shenxing and his uncle each took one away, and there were about twenty veterans left on the spot. Xu Shijiu turned around and ordered Ergua and Shu Tongwen and said, "Ergua, Tongwen, you two follow me."

Ergua and Shu Tongwen nodded, and then followed Xu Shijiu and twenty other veterans quietly to the cotton field on the front of the courtyard and lay down in the drainage ditch between the two cotton fields. The night breeze was blowing, and more than twenty veterans pulled out bayonets from the scabbard and stuck silently into the bayonet slot.

Xu Shijiu opened the nose of the box cannon and aimed at the Japanese sentry thirty meters away.

Calculate the time and each platoon had almost entered the attack position. Xu Shijiu pulled the trigger without hesitation. A crisp gunshot suddenly erupted under the quiet night sky. The Japanese military sentry, who was guarding back and forth with a bayonet, fell to the ground when he was on the ground. He was shot by Xu Shijiu.

The next moment, the noise of Japanese soldiers sounded in the courtyard.

Xu Shijiu inserted the box cannon back into the holster, turned his head and said to Ergua: "Give me the machine gun."

Ergua handed the Czech light machine gun in her hand to Xu Shijiu without thinking. Xu Shijiu took the machine gun and just put it in place, the two doors of the courtyard were opened from the inside. A Japanese soldier was holding a crooked handle and was about to put it on the threshold. Xu Shijiu pulled the trigger and it was a shorter "da da da da" and the Japanese machine gunner fell into a pool of blood.

The Japanese deputy shooter just came up, but was shot down by Xu Shijiu with a short shot.

Xu Shijiu was in the dark and his machine gun was extremely skillful. The little Japanese had already missed the lead.

However, the Japanese reacted quickly. When they found that the main door was blocked, they quickly closed the gate, then climbed up the courtyard walls on both sides, trying to attack from the flanks. This was also the Japanese's usual trick. When the front was blocked, they immediately divided their troops to detour. However, six or seven Japanese soldiers had just climbed up the courtyard wall, and dense gunfire broke out on both sides.

The six or seven Japanese soldiers who climbed up the courtyard wall screamed and fell back, but they didn't know how many of them died.

Now the little Japanese had no choice but to hide in the yard and fire grenades outside with a grenade launcher.

Xu Shijiu did not immediately order a charge. This time he was surrounded and the 306th Regiment had not yet received the fire, so he naturally could not swallow the bait in one bite. Xu Shijiu kept hugging two or three shorts, and hit the two door panels of the courtyard to make wood chips. When one magazine was about to be finished, Xu Shijiu turned his head and shouted: "Synonym, magazine!"

Shu Tongwen, who was lying beside Xu Shijiu, quickly took out a magazine from the basket and handed it to Xu Shijiu. Xu Shijiu changed the magazine and threw it back the replaced magazine. Shu Tongwen picked it up and saw that there were still several bullets left in the magazine he replaced, and a confused look appeared on his face. Why do you need to change the magazine before the bullet was finished?
