At midnight, there was a sudden rumble of artillery and fire in the direction of Zhabei. The Japanese army used 48 artillery pieces to violently bombard the 19th Route Army's defense line through three temporary positions. In the fifteen-minute continuous bombardment, two of the 19th Route Army were killed.
The division soldiers were unprepared and suffered heavy casualties. They had to abandon positions such as Target Road, Qiujiang Road, and Yokohama Road in the northern area of the North Sichuan Road Public Concession where the Japanese had crossed the border to build roads over the years, and retreated to the second line of defense along the railway.
The underground headquarters of the 19th Route Army was buzzing with bells and was busy. Generals An Yi and Cai Tingkai, who came from the enemy's command post in the northeast, checked the latest situation and were both confused. They didn't know where the enemy came from so many artillery pieces.
The number of Japanese troops present in the three attack lines was much higher than the generals expected.
Cai Tingkai immediately thought that the enemy had already sent out the 11th Division and the 9th Division from the mainland, but An Yi knew that these two divisions were still in Dalian and had not yet reached the Qingdao sea area. For a moment, the Japanese troops suddenly appeared out of thin air.
Don't know where it came from.
"Is it a mixed brigade from Kurume?" Ou Shounian asked.
"Three hours ago, the main force of the Jiumiliu Division was still on the Yangshupu front line. It was impossible to move to Zhabei on a large scale without being discovered by my multi-point observation posts."
Ye Cheng shook his head and rejected Ou Shounian's guess, then pointed to the Japanese Concession and asked in a low voice: "There has been no sign of more troops in the Japanese Concession in the past two days. Could it be that the Japanese army concealed the situation from all of us and moved the Japanese Concession to anchor at sea?"
Japanese reinforcements are moving in in batches?"
"Report: The Japanese Marine Corps, with about two brigades, launched a fierce attack on our Jiangwan position!" the combat staff reported quickly.
"Report: North Station, the enemy troops on the front line of Tiantong'an rushed forward fearlessly, almost stepping on the explosion point of the enemy artillery to rush into our position. Hand-to-hand combat has already occurred in the position of the 78th Division."
"Report: Enemy artillery fire is covering our 60th Division position..."
Each emergency report indicated that the Japanese army's crazy attack had reached a feverish stage. Cai Tingkai no longer hesitated and immediately ordered Ou Shounian to command the 156th Brigade of the reserve team to enter the battle, and ordered the newly formed independent brigade to immediately rush to Jiangwan to block the enemy's attack.
Attack pace.
An Yi lowered his head to check the map again, and Ye Cheng also leaned forward to watch. After a while, Ye Cheng stretched out his finger and slid from Jiangwan to Liu Xing, and then from Liu Xing to Wu Song. The two suddenly raised their heads and exclaimed in unison.
, Ye Cheng turned around and ran away, accompanied by two guards, and returned to the former enemy headquarters.
Cai Tingkai looked at An Yi in surprise, who was immersed in checking the map again: "What's wrong, brother, what did you find?"
An Yi raised his head and pointed at Wu Song: "For nearly three hours of fighting, the Kurume Brigade, which is the absolute main force of the enemy, has made no move. Don't you think it's strange?
From Jiangwan to Zhabei, and then to the forward positions in the west of the concession, the fighting has been so fierce, but there was no movement in the direction of Wusong. Not a single regiment of Liu Xing in your department encountered the enemy. There is only one explanation for this, and that is the Kurume Division
group
The main force has already pounced on Wusong! This all-or-nothing attack from the east to the west almost deceived us. If my estimate is correct, the sound of dense large-caliber artillery shelling from the enemy fleet will soon be heard from the direction of Wusong."
The generals suddenly realized that Cai Tingkai thought for a moment and immediately ordered two regiments of the 61st Division to quickly reinforce Liu Xing to prevent the main force of the Japanese army from breaking through the front line from this direction and opening a gap, giving the friendly 44th Division on the northern flank maximum support and cover.
.
The Chief of Staff of the 19th Route Army approached Cai Tingkai and asked if he would order all divisions under his command to launch a violent counterattack. An Yi also agreed with this opinion, believing that the enemy was purely attacking from the east and from the west, and the number of people participating in the attack would not exceed 7,000, so he took this opportunity to launch a counterattack
, will definitely be able to repel the enemy.
Cai Tingkai urgently discussed with the generals and quickly reached a consensus. Without any hesitation, he immediately ordered all divisions to counterattack with all their strength.
An Yi used the phone to call in his own guard regiment to serve as the strategic reserve of the 61st Division. He urgently ordered a brigade of Yin Jinan's 16th Division to slowly approach the 44th Division, and sent another brigade to quietly advance towards the river bank to alert the 44th Division.
The left wing of the Fourth Division is ready to reinforce the Forty-fourth Division at any time.
In the southern Jiangwan, Zhabei cannons rumbled and fires were everywhere, but the direction of Wusongkou was completely silent. The wind was biting and the howling north wind brought the sound of waves crashing onto the river bank clearly. From Baodong Pavilion on the northwest side of the fort to Song
West bank of Pu River, winding and winding
Seventeen observation posts are spread out over four kilometers. Within 500 meters behind the observation posts, more than 8,500 officers and soldiers of two brigades of the 44th Division are hidden. In Baoshan Town, which has turned into ruins, the elites of the 44th Division are ambushing on the side.
Brigade King Xulun.
At the division headquarters 3.2 kilometers west of the fort, Gu Changfeng, who received urgent reports from all parties, issued three orders in succession, ordering Fang Buqing, commander of the 131st Brigade, to make a slight resistance and immediately retreat two kilometers to move as quickly as possible.
Du withdrew to the first-line defensive position from the east bank of Nongqian River to Chenjiaxiang; ordered Fu Guanjie to lead the 132 brigade to attack
Wait for the enemy's two main forces to pursue the 131st Brigade, then attack southward at full speed with unshakable determination, cut off the enemy's retreat, and surround and annihilate the enemy with the 131st Brigade; order the 130th Brigade to immediately move eastward in concealment,
Get as close as possible to the Songbin line where the Japanese army launched their attack, and then continue to lurk, waiting for orders!
Fifteen minutes later, a huge explosion suddenly came from the direction of Zhenbei and Wusong Fort. Fourteen Japanese warships were quietly in place. All naval guns simultaneously launched a long and fierce bombardment at Wusong Fort and Baoshan Town. Strong underground bunkers
The thick supporting logs shook violently, "squeaking"
"There was a sound, and the seven-meter-thick soil above the head was still shivering under the cover of two layers of steel plates and three layers of logs. Bursts of soil and dust flew down through the gaps between the logs, causing Gu Changfeng and the generals to panic.
He was so disgraced that he could not hear clearly what he was saying. The map on the table was covered with dust and could not be viewed.
After half an hour of intensive bombing, only one of the seven telephone lines connecting various front-line departments was connected. Without waiting for orders from superiors such as Gu Changfeng, the communications section chief personally led the communications company to the front line to repair the lines. The staff lifted up the rain cloth above the radio station and continued to communicate with them.
Each department conducts wireless
After the phone call, Deputy Division Commander Yan Yaohuan had already rushed to the 130th Brigade to supervise the battle when the gunfire subsided. Chief of Staff Liang Zhenyu swept away the dust on the map and spread it on the table again. While listening to the information in the staff report under his command, he used red
A blue marker marks the latest enemy and friend situations.
"Reporting to the division, we have been able to confirm that it is the Kurume Brigade. Fortunately, the division's order was timely. The brothers of the 130th Brigade had just left the east and north edge of the lurking town. The enemy's artillery shells fired from the river immediately razed the entire lurking position.
Flat ground." Liang Zhenyu wiped off his sweat and reported loudly. The expression on his face showed that he was still terrified.
Gu Changfeng nodded and shouted loudly: "Qi Xiuping..."
"arrive!"
"You and the two teams from each led the two teams will start immediately, starting from the 130 brigades and two wings to the enemy forces to accurately strikes. Remember, no matter what the situation of the battle is, you are not allowed to participate in the melee and melee!"
Then, then
"yes--"
Yan Yaohuan arrived in time, and drilled into the entrance of the low headquarters and stepped into it. Without saying a word, he immediately covered Gu Changfeng with the dusty face on the map.
In the Songpu River position, the two brigades of the Jiu Li Rice Brigade broke the defense line of a brigade of the "Nineteen Army" with the help of the gunfire.
Divided into three ways, the defender who escaped from Cangxuan launched a violent blow.
Major General Xiaoyuan Xiong Xiong received a Jiebao of the brigade head in the cutting -edge headquarters, which was very satisfied. Previously, Major General Yan Ze, who replaced the Navy Navy, was not unreasonable.
It is not the same as experience. At least Major General Xiayuan feels comfortable for granted. Otherwise, it is definitely unacceptable to the Major General of the Navy to command him.
He has made a strategic judgment and plan. Nomura said very clearly that he would rely on the powerful Army to rely on the strong Army, relying on the subsequent ninth division and the eleven division.
Forces, therefore can only be adopted at the moment, and after the reinforcements, they will be fully attacked after the reinforcement.
Xiayuan praised Nomura's point of view, but he felt that he was despised from the words of Nomura. It seems that his long -time mixed brigade does not seem to be seen by Nomura.
Being able to win the pioneering victory, the Chinese army's miscellaneous army 19th road troops are not worth watching the soldiers of the Yuanyuan Brigade. Nomura seems to have considered repeatedly before giving the next Yuan a task: win the Wusai Fortress.
Originally, Xiayuan accepted this task very happily, but Nomura added that: Wusong has repeatedly hit by many warships of my heroic navy, and it has been shaped as waste.
Solving the problem. If you have a breath in Xiayuan, you want to refute. Nomura immediately added that as long as the Wusai Fortress is overcome, not only can the Japanese ships have no need to be scared, but they can also build a good landing point for the backup forces.
That's the last railway station near the Yangtze River near the Yangtze River. As soon as the army arrived, it could be continuously transported to Shanghai through the railway line.
So, Xiayuan led his long -time mixed brigade, sitting on the patrol ship under the guard of the navy, entered the Huangpu River and Yangshupu from the Yangtzekoukou, and suddenly launched a thunder strike.
Log in to the Zhanghua Bin Railway Pier, and then launched a violent charge to the Wusong Fort; after mobilizing the main force of the Nineteenth Route Army in Zhabei and Jiangwan, crossing the Songpu River with a huge determination and firepower with the advantages of the unparalleled spirit, and defeated the enemy's defense line in one fell swoop.
Open the war smoothly and achieve an excellent record beyond the plan, let the brigade leader Xia Yuan and around him are extremely proud of this.
Xiayuan saw that the defenders who fled to the east bank of the shallow river to the front line of Chenjiaxiang were so vulnerable, and decisively ordered the fourth team of the Second Union to participate in the attack to the north to north, and the two roads on the first union that attacked Wusong Battle.
There are no suspenses in the Battle of the Battle of the Emperor's eyes in the eyes of Xiayuan and the generals. In the Xiayuan and the generals, there are no suspense. A infantry brigade plus artillery, cavalry, machine gun and other auxiliary central teams can achieve a decisive victory.
Intense gunshots and shouts of killing were all along the Nongqian River. Under the tenacious resistance of the soldiers of the 131st Brigade, the enemy's second regiment suffered double casualties and had to stop the pursuit. At this time, the brigade commander suddenly called
Ordered the Fourth Battalion to immediately leave the battlefield and attack north.
At this moment, the soldiers of the 131st Brigade Cannon Battalion of the 44th Division completed the position construction and preparations for firing. The twenty-four August 1st mortars roared in unison. They were not fired because they were conserving their strength to lure the enemy to pursue them.
The machine guns spit out strings of flames, knocking down the Japanese troops who were charging arrogantly.
The Japanese commander was stunned by the sudden and powerful firepower of the defenders. In his eyes, a Chinese army regiment would not have more than twenty-four light and heavy machine guns, but now the firepower of the defenders' positions has far exceeded that of his troops, especially
It was an intensive mortar attack with powerful lethality, and the losses caused to his troops increased rapidly.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the commander of the regiment reported to the headquarters urgently and sent someone to call back the Fourth Battalion that had left the battlefield and went north to besiege Wusong Fort. Unexpectedly, as soon as he put down the phone, there were fierce exchanges of fire and explosions of grenades from the north.
The experienced commander immediately realized from the sound that his fourth battalion had encountered a sudden enemy force, and it was the most difficult and dangerous close combat at night.
In the trenches in the western section of Nongqian Bridge, Fang Buqing, commander of the 131st Brigade, heard the thundering sound of killing coming from the north. He became energetic. He jumped out of the trench, pulled out his flare gun, and fired a red flare into the sky, taking advantage of his firepower.
, the soldiers of the 131st Brigade, who had forced the enemy troops to retreat step by step, jumped out of their positions in the bright red light and launched an angry charge.
As the red signal bombs shot into the sky one after another, the three-kilometer-wide position was illuminated blood red. The soldiers, whose eyes were also red, rushed into the Japanese army that was defeated across the board, using light machine guns, machine guns, rifles, and bayonets.
and engineer shovels to engage in ruthless killings.
At critical junctures, the well-trained Japanese troops automatically formed defense groups, trying to compete with their opponents with sharp bayonets and hand-to-hand combat. Unfortunately, the soldiers of the 131st Brigade did not accept this trick at all, and all used bullets to greet the Japanese troops facing them.
The imitation Colt pistols issued to the squad leader level played a huge role at this time. The Japanese troops often formed a formation in a hurry and showed their bayonets and then killed them on the spot. The soldiers who did not have pistols rushed up and stabbed them randomly with their bayonets and smashed them with their rifle butts.
More than 4,000 soldiers of the 132nd Brigade, under the command of brigade commander Fu Guanjie, launched a fierce confrontation with the enemy troops encountered halfway. The soldiers of the 264th Regiment, led by the deputy brigade commander, ignored them and used more than 20 light machine guns to clear the way.
, charged bravely and penetrated directly behind the enemy. Brothers from one battalion set up firepower points along the west bank of the Songpu River, arranged positions, covered the brothers from the engineer company and blew up the bridges and pontoons that could be seen. Brothers from two battalions
Brother suddenly turned to the west, flanked with brothers from the 131st Brigade, and launched a fierce attack on the enemy. Under the rapid attack of more than 8,000 Chinese army soldiers, nearly 3,000 Japanese troops fought less and less in Vietnam. At dawn, only more than 300 Japanese troops were left to rush.
After breaking out of the siege, he narrowly escaped by jumping into the cold Songpu River. The battlefield was filled with smoke and red light, and corpses were strewn on the ground. Blood flowed into the river, and patches of withered grass and dried trees were ignited by raging fires.
In the light of the fire, whistles and commands were heard everywhere. The soldiers of the 44th Division lifted up the bodies of their brothers and the wounded, picked up all the weapons they could see on the ground, and quickly retreated westward.
The brigade chief Fu Guanjie concentrated on the troops of a regiment under the urgent report of the correspondent. He could not wipe the blood and smoke on his face, pulled out the hot hand with a shot, and took the lead to run towards the north of the fiercely fierce battle.
