Cai Tingkai, who had sent reinforcements to the two regiments of the 60th Division to the 44th Division's positions, had to withdraw his order. Information came from the concession: about a regiment of more than 5,000 Japanese troops had landed and had entered the Japanese concession. The number was unknown, and its leading troops
About a thousand people and an artillery team advanced directly towards the junction of the 60th and 61st Division positions.
Cai Tingkai and the generals didn't know where the Japanese army suddenly formed a regiment of troops. An Yi, who was well-informed and well-informed in Shanghai, didn't know what was going on. He urgently called Yang Fei and Liu Hao from the French Concession to find out the unit's number as soon as possible.
Ye Cheng, who had been thinking hard for a long time, asked in a low voice: Are the Japanese troops temporarily mobilized from Taiwan? The generals believed that this was very likely. Taiwan is not a long flight from Shanghai and can be reached within twenty-four hours. Moreover,
But it can come quietly on a merchant ship from the southern sea, making it impossible for our intelligence agencies to detect it.
Dai Ji was full of doubts: Apart from the 3,000 garrison troops and the 2,000 marines already deployed on the battlefield in Shanghai, where could there be so many Japanese armies in Taiwan? The generals also expressed the same doubts.
An Yi thought for a moment and told everyone that if this support force can be proven to be from Taiwan, it is likely that most of it will be composed of Taiwanese. The fierce general Tan Qixiu immediately cursed loudly, saying that if the Taiwanese put on Japanese military uniforms and came to attack their motherland, nineteen
The various departments of the Route Army will not leave any room for these traitors who have forgotten their ancestors.
In any case, the unexpected arrival of new Japanese forces and the uncertain direction of attack successfully pinned the various units of the 19th Route Army on their own lines of defense. The open-minded An Yi discussed with Cai Tingkai and other generals for a while to say goodbye and leave, leading his guard and special agent regiments.
Galloping across the battlefield on the Northern Front.
The fierce fighting in the sky has stopped. One or two Japanese reconnaissance planes that occasionally appeared were afraid of the dense anti-aircraft fire from the defenders and hovered in the airspace on the edge of the battlefield. They did not dare to get too close. The field hospital and the two participating division transport convoys were able to deliver ammunition to
At the front line, hundreds of wounded were sent to the Huangzhen Field Hospital.
The road was filled with smoke and dust and was extremely crowded. An Yi's convoy had to dodge all the way to make way for the convoy transporting the wounded and ammunition.
Arriving at the northwest of Yanghang Town, which had been bombed beyond recognition, An Yi told the driver to pull over, jumped out of the car and walked to the brothers of the air raid battalion who were covered in sweat and scorched earth. He sadly glanced at the exhausted and dejected brothers one by one.
Major Battalion Commander Tu Zhirong ran to An Yi and loudly reported: "Air Defense Battalion Commander Tu Zhirong is here to report. Please forgive me for being too far away, Commander!"
An Yi stepped forward in return, took off Tu Zhirong's saluting hand, and held it tightly in his hand: "Brother Zhirong, do you regret joining our army?"
"Regret! I regret that I returned home late. I regret that I only wanted to get a position in the Air Defense Command of the Central Military Commission. I regret that I was hesitant and failed to meet the commander a month in advance. I regret that I failed to lead my brothers to shoot more Japanese aircraft!
In addition, my subordinates not only have no complaints or regrets, but are extremely proud."
Tu Zhirong's eyes were moist, and tears flowed down from behind his broken myopia glasses.
Ye Cheng stepped forward gently and comforted in a low voice: "Zhirong, you have done an excellent job, far exceeding the expectations of the former enemy headquarters and soldiers. As the first professional air defense force in the history of the Republic of China, you and your
The soldiers were only given nine days of training time, and achieved excellent results in winning the first battle. The war started.
Come and shoot down four enemy planes and damage three. As a classmate who has been studying in Germany for four years, Brother Yu, Mu Chen, Yang Fei and other brothers are all proud of you and envy you! I believe that after this battle, you and your soldiers will
They will receive the attention and awards they deserve, become stronger and more professional, and become a heroic air defense force."
The elegant Tu Zhirong quietly wiped away his tears, shook hands with Ye Cheng tightly, and thanked him gratefully: "Thank you, Brother Fang Lu, thank you... Commander, our battalion still has five intact anti-aircraft vehicles, plus the vehicles from the bombed
The two twin cannons taken off, there are still seven cannons available, and there are still 215 brothers left out of the 330. The ammunition is sufficient, the fuel is full, and the two new communication radios are intact.
, we can still fight!”
An Yi nodded: "Let's rest for now. I will inform you if necessary. I suggest that, except for the remaining five tanks and the required soldiers, all the other soldiers who lost their tanks should withdraw to the rear to rest. Seven of the tanks were damaged.
To blow up all the vehicles, you only need to dismantle the damaged anti-aircraft guns and bring them back to the rear. Note that they must be well concealed. I
Our Southwest Air Force is gone after a deadly battle, and the Central Aviation Force has also suffered heavy losses. The enemy planes will become even crazier and more unscrupulous. After nightfall, according to the established plan, you quietly drove behind the 44th Division. They fought hard.
That place was beyond the reach of Japanese naval artillery, but it was the area where Japanese aircraft focused on bombing."
"Follow the order! My subordinates have ordered the brothers to prepare. Only 60 brothers and 12 commanders and deputy commanders are left. There are too few brothers who are familiar with technical operations. Every one can be left."
Tu Zhirong raised his chest and answered. Although his seemingly weak face was filled with pain, there was a hint of indomitable perseverance in his eyes.
An Yi glanced at the brothers of the air defense battalion standing around, saluted each of the brothers whose clothes were torn and covered in gunpowder smoke and dust, patted Tu Zhirong's arm and turned to leave.
The convoy of three vehicles continued to move forward, and the gray sky became even darker as the gunpowder smoke steamed upwards. The cold wind, which was mixed with the acrid gunpowder smoke and thick blood, was biting and blowing in waves.
Ye Cheng, who was sitting in the back seat of the convertible, looked at the rising fire and gunpowder smoke on the Baoshan battlefield, which was getting closer and closer. He approached An Yi and asked loudly:
"Commander, have Zhirong and the others received their commendations?"
An Yi shook his head: "No, the people at the Military Commission are so busy that they don't even have time to pee. Just wait. The committee member has personally called the air defense battalion to praise him vigorously. The honor will not go away, and Zhirong will also receive an exceptional promotion. After this battle,
I plan to squeeze out money to establish an air defense brigade, and let Zhirong serve as the major general brigade commander and concurrently serve as the chief instructor of the air defense department of the Xufu Aviation School."
"Why put the air defense major in the aviation school?" Ye Cheng asked in surprise.
An Yi asked back: "Wouldn't it be more interesting to let students majoring in air defense compete with students majoring in aviation every day? One of them is trying to figure out how not to be beaten down and how to eliminate the ground air defense force; the other is trying to figure out how to knock down the plane and how to save himself?"
"
Ye Cheng smiled and said: "I really have you, haha! It's okay. We established the aviation school ourselves. We can do whatever is reasonable. We will wait until the two batches of pilots who went to Germany and the United States for further training at the end of last year come back, plus those who are about to return to China one after another.
With aviation professionals and external experts, our aviation school will definitely be known as the leading aviation school in the country!"
"After the armistice, the construction of the Sichuan Southern Aircraft Manufacturing Plant, a joint venture between Junkers and us, will begin. Now the Germans have prepared all the equipment and plans. Junkers has been developing the JU52 pair for three years but it has not caught the eye of the German military.
aircraft and another single-seat destroyer at very low prices,
We only need to install high-power engines produced in the United Kingdom or the United States, and then improve and improve them by the Junkers designer team, we will be able to obtain two high-performance advanced fighters, which are superior to the most advanced modified aircraft of the Southwest Airlines currently.
There are so many, but now they can’t start because of the war. I’m so anxious that I’m getting angry!
Zhang Xi was also very anxious in the United States. He had equipment, raw materials, food worth tens of millions, several of the latest high-horsepower inland river patrol gunboats built, etc., and two of them were purchased from Boeing.
Advanced two-person fighter jets cannot be transported into the country now. My father-in-law and his family are still staying in Old Nanchang. They send telegrams almost every day asking about the situation of the war. If Uncle Dao hadn't comforted them, they would have come here long ago." An Yi sighed.
Take a breath.
Ye Cheng smiled slightly: "You haven't seen your son yet, have you? I guess he can give you soy sauce, haha!"
An Yi looked gloomy and sighed: "I have a headache! Take care of the overall situation, take care of the overall situation... This is a bloody war..."
"Enemy planes air attack - bang bang -"
Two orange anti-aircraft warning flares rose into the sky, and the ground was busy. The convoy transporting the wounded and ammunition, like An Yi's convoy, quickly drove into the woods beside the road, and camouflage sheets were quickly set up in the open space without woods.
Net, dozens of vehicles that have returned to the rear of the position speed up.
, rushed westward, crossed the Yunzao River Highway Bridge, and successfully approached the hidden area behind the bridge. However, the road east of the bridge was in chaos. Passwords, shouts, and trumpets penetrated the flying dust. The noise went straight up, one after another, maintenance
The orderly military police brothers were so busy that they were sweating and shouting hoarse.
Ten minutes later, An Yi jumped out of the car and walked to the edge of the woods. He looked around and saw a four-ton truck full of wounded people 80 meters away. It was stuck in the mud beside the road. Two sets of thick rear wheels were slipping.
As it rotated at high speed, bursts of green smoke came out, and seven or eight soldiers and three delicate female nurses shouted and jumped into the mud to push the cart.
An Yi looked carefully and exclaimed: Why did Nurse Mai also go to the battlefield? After turning around, he found that the secret service group had gone north and the guard group had not yet arrived. He quickly ordered Lin Yaodong, the captain of the guard next to him, to bring people to help, and he rushed to the front first.
highway.
When Shen Fengdao saw this, how could he dare to neglect him? While shouting that you violated military discipline, he sped up and chased after him.
Lin Yaodong shouted, and the Eighteenth Iron Guard followed him and rushed towards the truck that was stuck in the quagmire. Just halfway, two enemy planes roared over and dropped several huge bombs. The screams of the bombs became louder and louder.
The closer it got, as if it was hitting the top of his head. Shen Fengdao flew forward, hugged An Yi and rolled into the bullet on the side.
Pit, Lin Yaodong and the Eighteen Iron Guards were so frightened that they rushed forward quickly, screaming and lying down. Before the shouts could be heard, a huge explosion sounded. All the brothers felt that the earth was shaking, their heads were dizzy, and their stomachs were filled with blood.
The chest and abdomen expanded rapidly, and the limp body rose and fell helplessly as the earth shook.
The dazzling firelight and thick smoke covered the sky and lingered for a long time. Lin Yaodong's ears were roaring and he temporarily lost his hearing. He shook off the thick soil on his body and stood up suddenly. He coughed and looked up, and found that the broken wreckage of the truck had overturned.
Under the dirt bag more than 20 meters away from the original place, the more than 30 meters long road and the quagmire were no longer there, replaced by several huge craters overlapping each other and emitting hot smoke.
"Little Japan, I'll fuck your mother——"
Lin Yaodong fell on the ground and screamed in despair. With tears streaming down his face, he couldn't hear his hysterical voice, the noisy footsteps behind him and the screams of grief. He only knew that a truckload of injured brothers were gone.
Seven or eight of the brothers pushing the cart are gone, and three
A young nurse is gone. Mai Manfang, the beautiful head nurse who once helped An Yi heal his injuries and had a deep relationship with the brothers in the guard, is gone. Mai Manfang, the virtuous, beautiful, gentle and responsible Mai Manfang has just met her deputy captain, Colonel Liu Zongpu.
Just a few days after getting engaged.
With the help of Shen Fengdao, An Yi stood up unsteadily. He looked around and then fell heavily to the ground. He hugged his head without a helmet and didn't raise his head for a long time...
At 6:10, the Shapu frontline headquarters in the southwest of Baoshan Town.
Yin Jinan, the unshaven commander of the 24th Army, heard his subordinates reporting the arrival of the commander. He quickly raised his head and walked out of the door. Amidst the sound of gunfire and explosions coming from the front position, he grabbed An Yi and walked to the map, pointing at the map.
The Jiang'an front line marked at the ship repair shop reported loudly:
"Lao Wu personally led Li Zhide's 46th Brigade to defeat a large group of Japanese troops who landed ashore. Lao Shi's Second Battalion of the artillery regiment damaged one enemy transport ship and three destroyers. He himself also suffered heavy losses from the bombing of Japanese ships. If not
Lao Xie urgently ordered the second battalion commander to throw down his artillery and run away quickly. It was estimated that there were 500 artillerymen.
No more. The enemy's powerful naval guns are too powerful. More than two-thirds of the battle losses of the two brigades of the 16th Division were caused by the Japanese army's dense large-caliber naval guns. I plan to abandon the coastal positions and even
Resist, gradually abandon Baoshan Town, and then take it back after dark!"
An Yi's eyes were red and his face was ashen. He nodded vigorously and whispered: "Agree! I brought Fang Pengxiang's special agent team to you, and that's what I planned to do!"
"Okay! Then my little brother will give the order. Let the enemies in, rely on the originally constructed trenches to quietly surround them and then fight. Blocking the retreat will encircle the landing enemies in the ruins of Baoshan Town. Slowly eliminate them through street fighting and close hand-to-hand combat.
, if done well, the enemy will be able to mobilize the pitiful garrison troops in Changxing and even Chongming Island to come for reinforcements, and can obtain better attack conditions for the special brigade of the Bearded Independent Division." Yin Jinan finally made up his mind.
Ye Cheng said: "Not only that, but it also allows the Japanese invaders, whose reinforcements have not yet arrived, to continue to increase their troops on various battlefields in a hurry, and even be influenced by their emotions to launch a full-line attack. In order to save face, we can take this opportunity to clean up as much as possible.
The Japanese troops, who were familiar with the battlefield, did not allow them the opportunity to coordinate with the large reinforcements of the Japanese troops."
Yin Jinan and the military generals were convinced, and after issuing the order to withdraw from the battlefield, Operations Director Zhang Xiaowu asked An Yi and Yin Jinan to withdraw to the backup headquarters in the southwest.
An Yi shook his head slightly and sat down calmly. When he saw Lao Shoudao's nephew, Colonel Xiao Zonghua, the head of the guard regiment, he picked up a cup of tea and drank it leisurely. He quickly ordered a cup for himself and turned to
Major General Zhang Xiaowu, a senior fellow in Huangpu Phase II, said in a low voice:
"Senior Brother Zhang, I'm not going anywhere tonight, I'm just sitting here! If we can't annihilate all the Japanese troops who enter the position before dawn, I will also carry a gun and go up to help. If you are interested, senior brother, let's go together then!"
