The commander of the 3rd Division, Lieutenant General Fujita Susumu, was still holding on to a bit of luck. After receiving the order to retreat, he immediately ordered the 6th Division in Hongxi to quickly move closer to Yangmiao, and then joined the remnants of Yaozhuang to return to Songjiang.
. Because Lieutenant General Yanagawa Heisuke of Matsue has sent the 18th Division to greet him. As for the 062nd Division of the China National Defense Force lying between the two divisions, Susumu Fujita does not think that just one division can stop his breakthrough. Maybe
If the two divisions clamp down hard, the National Defense Force will suffer heavy losses.
However, the field artillery regiment he deployed on Gushan was bombed by the China Air Force before it even started to go down the mountain. Then the Chinese artillery on the ground took advantage of the fire. Under the instructions of the China Air Force, the artillery shells chased the imperial army's artillery.
, after all the artillery pieces were blown to pieces, they actually chased the imperial infantry to fight! In the end, a solitary mountain really became a lonely hilltop, because except for the fastest Japanese squadron who came down alive, there was no one alive on the mountain.
People.
The tank regiment that Susumu Fujita had been reluctant to use or to use was gathering together to prepare to retreat in combat formation. However, under the guidance of the air force, the China Army, under the guidance of the air force, a burst of rocket launchers attacked, and the tanks covering an area of tens of thousands square meters
The unit's station immediately turned into a sea of flames, and even Susumu Fujita himself would have been almost caught in the flames by an incendiary bomb if it hadn't been for the rescue by the guards.
However, on the afternoon of February 25, the only Japanese troops that were actually bombed by the Wehrmacht Air Force were the 117th, 107th and 3rd Divisions. The focus of the bombing was also determined to be tanks, artillery, baggage and permanent fortifications.
Within a limited scope, the retreating Japanese infantry competed with the infantry of the National Defense Forces.
This is not because the National Defense Forces were reluctant to bomb Japanese infantry, but because there were too many targets to bomb, and the number of air force pilots of the National Defense Forces was relatively limited, so a small number of Japanese infantrymen actually escaped back to Songjiang through small units, makeup, etc., and finally in
Three days later, he fled back to Minhang.
As of 12 p.m. on the 25th, the National Defense Forces controlled Changxing, Huzhou, Nanxun, Jiaxing, Jiashan and other areas.
On February 26, the panicked Japanese army suddenly discovered that the National Defense Forces had stopped.
"What kind of situation is this?" Matsui Ishi thought that the sky was about to fall for the Japanese army, but the National Defense Forces stood still, which plunged him into a new confusion: Could it be that the National Defense Forces discovered the "Oriole Project"?
Judging from the China Army's offensive yesterday, Matsui Iwane was a little scared. Because the Chinese Front Army would officially board the ship at Keelung Port in the early morning of the 26th, its forward corps would not be able to reach Hangzhou Bay until at least noon on the 27th. He was worried
Can your troops hold the front line of Songjiang for a day and a half?
The entire day on the 26th, the National Defense Forces did not launch a new attack, which made him worry about another problem, that is, after the National Defense Forces discovered the "Yellow Bird Project", they might take the opportunity to retreat to the mountainous areas of northeastern Zhejiang. If this was the case, it would be tantamount to Yellow Birds.
The failure of the plan is equivalent to the failure of the Japanese army, because the National Defense Forces in the mountainous areas of northeastern Zhejiang can descend from the mountains and attack Shanghai at any time. If so, how will he, the commander of the front army, deal with himself?
On the 26th, the National Defense Forces did not launch an attack. The reason was simple: to digest the results of the battle and rest for a day.
On this day, although Matsui Ishi was worried, he did not take a rest. Instead, he held a press conference with the participation of reporters from various countries.
At the meeting, Matsui Ishiba, on behalf of the Japanese government, accused the Chinese National Defense Forces of using high-explosive bombs, incendiary bombs and other weapons that were contrary to humanitarianism, which not only caused non-battle deaths to the Japanese troops, but also burned a large number of Chinese "people" to death!
Major General Mamoru Iinuma, chief of staff of the Japanese East China Front Command, produced a large number of photos to prove that General Matsui Iwane's accusations were based on facts.
Next, there are the so-called "complaints" of witnesses. Each of these "witnesses" came forward to give their own testimony, opened their clothes, showed the scars on their bodies, and accused the Chinese National Defense Force of using inhumane weapons to cause huge harm to them.
Finally, these people signed unanimously, requesting the League of Nations to investigate the use of inhumane weapons by the Wehrmacht, requesting the League of Nations to punish the Wehrmacht, and demand compensation.
Are these witnesses the Chinese "people"? Of course not, they are traitors serving the Japanese. At the press conference, a reporter from a Shanghai tabloid who specializes in pornographic news expressed great sympathy for the suffering of the "people" and immediately
He expressed that he would seek justice for the "people" and seek justice for them!
The reporter also participated in the signing and used his camera to take pictures of each signed list, while taking hundreds of photos of several groups of victims.
Major General Mamoru Iinuma was very pleased to see a Chinese "comrade" so enthusiastically supporting the victims and cooperating with the Japanese army's propaganda operations. At the same time, he instructed Japanese reporters and pro-Japanese reporters at the scene to also participate in this action.
Mamoru Iinuma's attitude made the tabloid reporter even more happy.
This incident made a big fuss in the media. Japanese, British, and Korean newspapers slandered the National Defense Forces. Even the newspapers controlled by the Nanjing government published news and remarks that were unfavorable to the National Defense Forces. It was like a rat crossing the street and everyone was shouting to beat it.
. Especially Japanese newspapers, in order to shirk the negligence of the Japanese East China Front and the decision-making responsibility of the Japanese headquarters, they went all out to slander the National Defense Forces and attributed the nearly 60,000 casualties of the Japanese army in one day to the inhumane weapons of the National Defense Forces.
The National Defense Forces and the media in Fujian and Guangdong remained silent on this, neither defending nor counterattacking.
Hao Yong, director of the "Fengqing Bureau", as an intelligence-shaped intelligent robot, is very skilled in the use of intelligence methods throughout the ages. One of the best methods is to disguise intelligence personnel as media reporters.
Wu Aihua hated so many traitors in Chinese history, even more than he hated the invaders. It was their help that allowed the Chinese nation to fall into hundreds of years of alien rule and the Chinese nation.
The nation fell into the greatest disaster of the 20th century.
Because of this, when the "Fengqing Bureau" was first established, Wu Aihua ordered it to collect intelligence on various types of traitors in various places. Although the main task of the National Defense Force is not to eliminate traitors, there will always be a day of reckoning if this information is collected.
.
On April 26, dozens of traitors performed at a press conference of the Japanese army in Shanghai. They never dreamed that a few years later, when the Japanese army was defeated, they thought they had not committed any evil and the National Defense Forces would not do anything to them.
This tabloid reporter, in his capacity as a major of the National Defense Forces, accused them of "treason", "funding the enemy", "defamation", etc. These people who thought they were the smartest people in the world argued forcefully that they had nothing.
Yes, they were just captured as laborers by the Japanese army in the early years. However, when the major of the National Defense Force took out a photo and a photocopy of their signatures, he was immediately speechless.
…
In the early morning of April 27, the National Defense Forces, which had ceased fire for a day, were not frightened by Matsui Iwane's tricks yesterday. The National Defense Forces Air Force dispatched an attack aircraft group, a bomber group, and two fighter groups, a total of 192 super-era fighters to attack the enemy in Matsue.
The enemy's 10th Army Headquarters, directly under the Chariot Brigade, directly under the Heavy Artillery Brigade, and the 18th Division carry out indiscriminate bombing. At the same time, our 6th Army directly under the Armored Brigade, directly under the Armored Brigade, and directly under the Rocket Artillery Brigade serve as the three strategic offensive forces.
, with the cooperation of the 062nd Division, the 063rd Division, and the 061st Division, they launched a fierce attack on the Japanese infantry positions!
Since the Japanese air force and air defense forces were eliminated in advance, the three types of aircraft of the National Defense Force appeared in the sky over Songjiang in squadrons every time. Any damaged Japanese fortifications were ordered to be handed over to the air force for resolution! A high-explosive bomb
If you can't solve it, then drop three to five bombs together, plus incendiary bombs!
February 27, 1938, was a truly "helpless" day for Yanagawa Heisuke. As soon as the Wehrmacht began bombing at dawn, he started working as a firefighter and was in a hurry; by 1 p.m.
Around this time, he couldn't even serve as a firefighter because he didn't have a spare soldier on hand!
Just when Yanagawa Heisuke was about to decide to evacuate Matsue (the same was Matsui Ishi's plan), he suddenly received good news: Lieutenant General Ogisu Tatehei's 12th Army, the forward force of the South China Army, was escorted by the Chinese fleet of the Japanese Navy.
Below, it has reached the surface of Hangzhou Bay and will land at Jinshanwei in Hangzhou Bay in another hour! At that time, the Japanese army in East China will begin a full-scale counterattack!
Yanagawa Heisuke immediately telegraphed the good news to all the participating troops, asking them to stand firm and hold their positions. The brothers of the South China Front Army had already reached the surface of China's Hangzhou Bay. In another hour, the National Defense Forces would retreat without a fight. At that time
, is the best opportunity for the Imperial Japanese Army to annihilate the enemy!
I don't know how much effect Yanagawa Heisuke's "encouragement" had on the Japanese army. In fact, the Japanese army is really a force with extremely strong willpower. Although the National Defense Forces adopted an unprecedentedly fierce offensive, the Japanese army showed no signs of defeat. It should be snatched
Everyone rushed forward bravely and showed no mercy when it was time to shoot.
However, the National Defense Force is really a unique army in the world. Their soldiers are also very brave, but they know how to protect themselves. The most important thing is that their artillery fire always comes in the most timely manner, and the artillery fire is also particularly accurate. Later, the attack
, even the Japanese soldiers had a premonition that if a certain fortification resisted tenaciously and the Wehrmacht offensive was frustrated, that fortification might be shelled or bombed. Sure enough, within five minutes, either the 150mm heavy artillery shells would fall, or the high-altitude missiles on the plane would fall.
Explosive bombs fell.
Moreover, no matter what kind of shells fall, the final outcome is certain, that is, this fortification has been targeted by the National Defense Forces, and it must be blown up until it is destroyed!
In response, many Japanese soldiers said privately, "Shangguan told us that the Chinese army is like armed peasants, but are the enemies in front of them still peasants?" to express their distrust of Japanese officers.
It should be said that soldiers from most countries in the world are not afraid of death. Fear of death may not be a soldier, which may also be the life principle of soldiers from various countries. However, it is one thing for soldiers not to be afraid of death, but how to die is another matter.
