Chapter 218 The remaining troops of the 67th Army Northeast Army and the 26th Division of the Sichuan Army
November 1937,
When the Japanese army assembled a heavy force of 110,000 troops, and with the help of the transportation of the Japanese Fourth Fleet, the news of the successful landing at Jinshanwei in Songhu was conveyed to the entire Third War Zone and all war zones.
The entire National Army Military Commission, including the chairman, commanders of major military regions, and officers were shocked.
At the same time, these senior military officials also felt that the war situation was becoming more and more dangerous.
The hundreds of thousands of national troops that are being evacuated may be surrounded by the Japanese army and wiped out.
Therefore, in order to prepare for the 110,000-strong force of the Japanese 10th Army, which marched directly into Songhu City and outflanked the 600,000-plus main force of the National Army,
The top brass of the national army urgently deployed the 67th Army and asked them to carry out defensive operations in the Songjiang area.
Songjiang is located in the south of Songhu, which is adjacent to the urban area. Once Songjiang is lost, the urban area of Songhu will definitely be difficult to protect.
In order to defend against the Japanese army, the 67th Army also marched overnight, preparing to go from Qingpu County, where they had just arrived, to Songjiang to dig a large number of trenches to defend against the incoming Japanese army.
These soldiers of the 67th Army have already written suicide notes and are ready to devote themselves to the defense of Songjiang.
The 67th Army is the direct descendant of Marshal Zhang in the Northeast Army.
However, the 67th Army, which originally had jurisdiction over the 107th Division and the 108th Division, and 2 brigades and 4 regiments, repeatedly fought with the Japanese army in Linming Pass and other places, resulting in heavy losses.
Therefore, the Northeastern Army of the 67th Army, which came to fight in the acclimatized Songjiang, did not have the strength of an army.
Moreover, the Sichuan Army unit that joined them in the coordinated defense of Songjiang was the 26th Division of the 43rd Army. After a fierce battle with the Japanese army, only more than 600 Sichuan Army troops were left dead.
But now there are only two of them, and there are a small number of security teams working together, and there are no other reinforcements to come to help. They can only rely on their own strength to fight against the Japanese army that is attacking from the direction of Jinshan.
It prevented the Japanese army from moving north and carried out an operation to outflank the main force of hundreds of thousands of national troops from the north and the south.
The equipment of the Northeastern Army of the 67th Army is better than that of the remaining troops of the 26th Division of the 43rd Army of the Sichuan Army.
But facing the menacing Japanese 10th Army, it was still not enough.
"Go to Songjiang lightly to carry out defensive operations. We must severely defeat the enemy to ensure the safety of our Songhu right-wing combat troops! The Japanese army must not take advantage of them!"
This was an urgent order sent by Zhang Fakui, commander-in-chief of the Eighth Group Army and Right Wing Army, to Commander Wu.
"Keren of the 67th Army must defend Songjiang County for three days to resist the attack of the Japanese 10th Army. Anyone who violates military law will be severely punished!"
This is the combat order issued by Huang Qixiang, acting commander-in-chief of the right-wing army, to Commander Wu at the same time.
Even more inhumane than Commander Zhang's,
Because Commander Wu is from the Northeast Army, he doesn't have much good looks towards these senior officials of the national army.
If it is the Central Army, the German Arms Division, or direct troops such as the Tax Police Corps and the Teaching Corps,
Then their tone will definitely be much kinder.
But even so, Commander Wu of the 67th Army still accepted this combat mission of resisting the Japanese army without any complaints.
"Military seat! These senior officials of the national army really have no human feelings at all!"
"And if we are asked to stick to the defensive operations on the Songjiang side now, not only will they not give us a good look, they will not even provide us with weapons, equipment and ammunition!"
"It's really annoying!"
"Are we so easy to bully?"
However, when Commander Wu didn't say much, the chief of staff beside him, Major General Wu Tonggang, couldn't help but complain.
"Forget it, don't say this anymore. If you say it, it will only make yourself unhappy?"
"Why bother yourself?"
"And now it is a battle to protect our country. This is a national war related to the destiny of the country. Therefore, even if we do not have orders, we still have the responsibility to resist the Japanese and kill the enemy. This is our responsibility as soldiers!"
"And this time we absolutely cannot keep escaping like before. We must make up for our mistake of losing a large area of Northeast China and let the world know that we don't just know how to escape and evacuate, we can also
Kill the devils!"
"So I have already made up my mind about this battle. Even if I die on the battlefield, I will never run away!"
"Unless the military committee issues a combat order to evacuate, I will never evacuate Songjiang!"
However, in response to the complaint from the Chief of Staff, Major General Wu Tonggang, Commander Wu shook his head and responded with a very firm will.
"."
Chief of Staff Major General Wu Tonggang.
Hearing that his military commander was so determined to fight to the end, he was embarrassed for a while and remained silent, not knowing how to respond.
"The military commander is right, we support you. This time we must bring out the glory of our Northeastern Army's anti-Japanese war. We are also tired of the feeling of being constantly displaced, like rootless duckweeds!"
"This feeling is very bad! I really hope that one day we can fight back, regain the land we lost, kill all those ruthless Japanese, and use their blood to wipe away the shame of our Northeastern Army!"
However, Zhang Wenqing, commander of the 108th Division, and Jin Kuibi, commander of the 107th Division, echoed in unison.
For them, they no longer want to run around anymore.
They're fed up with not feeling at home,
Therefore, in this anti-Japanese war, they, like the army commander, were determined to fight to the end.
At the very least, they must be tougher this time and not allow other troops to continue to look down upon them and ridicule and ridicule them as deserting troops.
"We also swear to follow you, Jun Zuo, to kill the Japanese together!"
Four senior generals, Major General Deng Yuzhuo, Chief of Staff of the 107th Division, Major General Zhu Zhirong, Commander of the 321st Brigade of the 107th Division, Major General Liu Qiwen, Commander of the 322nd Brigade of the 108th Division, and Major General Xia Shuxun, Commander of the 324th Brigade of the 108th Division, also quickly echoed in unison.
"Okay! Since everyone agrees to kill the enemy, then in this Songjiang battle, we will let these incoming Japanese troops give a good try to the power of our Northeastern Army!"
"We want them to know that we are not a useless force, we are not a force that can only run away. We are going to beat them to pieces!"
Seeing that his capable men all agreed in unison, and agreed with good fighting spirit,
Commander Wu also became more motivated to fight.
Loudly boosting morale.
"Kill the devil!"
"Kill the devil!"
"Kill the devil!"
As the morale of these senior generals of the 67th Army increased, the Northeastern officers and soldiers under them also became more motivated to fight, shouting in unison.
"Okay! Let's go! Get to Songjiang County as soon as possible and hold the Japanese there for three days!"
After seeing that the morale was available, Commander Wu was in a good mood. With a wave of his hand, he immediately issued a combat order.
"Yes! Military seat!"
"Set off!"
"Set off!"
After Commander Wu's order to speed up the march was issued,
All the officers of the 67th Army immediately echoed again.
Then, the 67th Army left Qingpu County as quickly as possible and headed towards Songjiang.
At this time, the remaining troops of the 26th Division of the 43rd Army of the Sichuan Army were also rushing towards Songjiang County.
The commander of the 26th Division at the time was Liu Yuqing, and its equipment was extremely crude. Each row only had one light machine gun. Some of the rifles had already been smoothed out and were almost unusable.
The 26th Division, which originally had only 4 infantry regiments, plus 1 communications company and 1 engineer company, was crippled by the Japanese troops in the Battle of Dachang Town.
The 26th Division of the Sichuan Army fought bloody battles with the Japanese army on the front line of Dachang for seven days and seven nights. Two of the four regiment commanders were killed, and 13 of the 14 battalion commanders were killed. Of the nearly 10,000 Sichuan troops in the division, only the remaining
There are more than 600 soldiers, and more than 100 are wounded.
So now there are only more than 600 Sichuan officers and soldiers that Commander Liu can lead in combat.
Although they were called "straw-shoe soldiers" by other national army units, they still accepted the fatal order to fight in Songjiang for three days without any hesitation.
Among the remaining Sichuan officers and soldiers, many soldiers still have rifles with old slides and made in Hanyang, and even very few of them are medium-standard rifles.
The entire division did not have a single cannon, lacked logistical supplies, and had no field hospital.
The remaining 600 Sichuan officers and soldiers who can still fight normally lack ammunition, weapons and equipment, and even military uniforms to keep out the cold.
There were even Sichuan soldiers who went to the battlefield with minor injuries.
