The loss of Pu greatly improved the situation of the Japanese army on the south bank of the Yangtze River, and at the same time caused Chen T to stop, Chen Cheng launched a counterattack in front of Luodian, advanced two kilometers, barely leveled the battle line, and then turned the whole line into the defensive. \\。 Ｑb⑸.cOM\\

After the Japanese army seized the initiative, Matsui Ishine focused his attention on the big field, and the action of Yun Zaobin and Liu Xing to mobilize troops to the north of Hangzhou Bay made the senior officials in Tokyo very worried, and ordered Matsui Ishine to strengthen the offensive on the south bank of the Yangtze River, creating the illusion of breaking through on the south bank of the Yangtze River, and forcing the ** squadron to draw troops from the north of Hangzhou Bay.

The 19th Group Army under the command of Xue Yue is actually a big mess, including the 66th Army of Ye Zhao of the Guangdong Army, the 9th Division of Li Yannian of the Central Department, Wan Yaohuang's 13th Division, and Zhou Zhe's 6th Division, of which Wan Yaohuang was included in the 19th Group Army on the Shanghai battlefield.

After the Ninth Division arrived at the Songhu battlefield, it had been fighting in Yunzaoban for three days, and the casualties of the whole division were as high as forty percent, so it was withdrawn and reorganized, but the whole supplement only made up 2,000 people, and then was transferred to Liu Xing for defense in this round of adjustment. The Ninth Division was the ground for three days in the Japanese army's fierce attack, and the whole division could not defeat 3,000 people, and even the division commander Li Yannian fought on the ground with guns.

"It was the 13th Division of the Japanese Army that attacked Liu Xing, and this is a new number."

Chen Cheng was worried, this was a very bad signal, indicating that the Japanese reinforcements had arrived, at least partially, otherwise the entire division would not have been added to the south bank of the Yangtze River in this way.

Draw troops from Hangzhou Bay? This idea never appeared in Chen Cheng's mind, but now, the situation on the battlefield is unfavorable, and he wants to draw troops to counterattack, but where are the troops? The First Army and the Eighteenth Army had just been transferred to the Wufu Line, and the Forty-seventh Army was left to block the landing of the Japanese army in the future.

All the troops were crippled, frenzied attack, defense, counteroffensive, and defense, Luodian, Dachang, Yunzaobin, and the urban area, there were corpses everywhere, layer upon layer, blood stained the Huangpu River red, and even the water seeping out of the trenches was red and smelled of blood. Although there are many numbers of troops in the urban area, most of them are incomplete, and their strength is equivalent to that of a brigade or even a regiment before the war.

Just when Chen Cheng couldn't make up his mind, Xing Zize, chief of the General Staff Office, came in to report, and the captain of the advance team of the 49th Group Army asked to see him. Chen Cheng didn't react for a while, and couldn't help but ask: "What advance team?" Forty-ninth Army? ”

"The 49th Group Army is the original New First Group Army, and the leader of the advance team that came this time is led by General Jiang Baili, deputy commander of the Group Army." Xing Zize couldn't help but smack his tongue a little when he thought of the advance team he saw just now, a second-class general, a lieutenant general, two major generals, plus a group of colonel-level officers.

Chen Cheng patted his head, and then remembered that the new First Group Army had been renamed the 49th Group Army, and this group was also transferred to the Songhu battlefield, but it was late, and he didn't know where it was now.

"Please. Wait a minute. Chen Chenggang said two words. immediately stopped Xing Zize. Fill your own military uniform. Greet them out in person.

Chen Cheng is also a graduate of the Baoding Military Academy. Even at such a tense time, he didn't dare to slack off on Jiang Baili, the principal.

"Headmaster. I didn't expect you to come too. Chen Cheng saluted Jiang Baili before he said earnestly.

"The war in Songhu is tense. However, we are the advance team of the army group. Had to come and bother you. Jiang Baili sighed slightly. He heard in Nanking that the war was gradually becoming unfavorable. Looking at Chen Cheng's deep eye sockets. Bloodshot eyes and a tired face. I know he's probably a little anxious right now.

New reinforcements. The offensive was very fierce. Headmaster. When will your 49th Army arrive on the battlefield? I'm going to be on fire here. Chen Cheng did not hide his predicament.

"I'll introduce you." Jiang Baili didn't rush to pick up Chen Cheng's topic first. Instead, he introduced the three generals behind him: "This is General Fan Shaozeng, deputy commander of the 102nd Army." This is Major General Lin Junxian, deputy chief of staff of the 101st Army. Major General Yan Pengtao, Deputy Director of the Logistics Department of the Group Army. Both of them have been Whampoa for life. ……”

Lin Junxian and Yan Pengtao saluted Chen Cheng and said in unison, "Hello, teacher." ”

Chen Cheng returned a military salute, he looked at these people, Fan Shaozeng had seen them before, they were still so chubby, like a Maitreya Buddha, but they didn't know the next few people, this Lin Junxian was from the second phase of Huangpu, and Yan Pengtao was from the third phase of Huangpu, and he still had some impressions.

Jiang Baili's advance team included all divisions of the 49th Group Army, as well as the Logistics Department and the Staff Office. ”

Chen Cheng invited them into the house and asked, "Where is the 49th Group Army now?" If you don't come again, I'm afraid you won't be able to catch up with the war in Shanghai. ”

Baili stopped and turned his head to look at Chen Cheng: "The situation has become so bad? Didn't the Twenty-Fourth Army arrive, they were already finished? ”

"One twenty-four group is not enough," Chen Cheng stretched out his hand to make a gesture of invitation: "The Japanese army has increased its troops, according to intelligence, this time the Japanese army has increased its troops from North China, Northeast China and China, a total of four divisions and regiments, and now there is only one thirteenth division on the battlefield, where are the other three divisions?" And most likely, more than four divisions will come. ”

Chen Cheng did not lead them to the war room, but introduced the conference room, where a large battle map was hung on the front wall, and the army-green tablecloth was already a little dirty, and there were many tea stains on it. Jiang Baili led the way and sat down on the side close to the main seat, while the others sat down in order of rank.

"If I were Matsui Shigen, these three divisions would be used in the north of Hangzhou Bay, and they would not be entangled with you on the south bank of the Yangtze River." Jiang Baili made Chen Cheng's worries clear in one sentence.

"Yes, this is exactly what I am worried about, Jiansheng and I both advocate retreating and abandoning Shanghai, but the chairman strictly orders it." Chen Cheng's tone was very helpless, once the 700,000 army collapsed, the Japanese army could be killed in Suzhou and Nanjing, because there was no fighting force on this line at all, and Chen Cheng could not afford this responsibility.

"Where have you been? When can I come to Songhu? Chen Cheng asked about the location of the 49th Group Army for the third time, which was completely inconsistent with his usual calmness.

"It's time to Wuhan," Fan Shaozeng said quickly, his eyes narrowed into a line, and a smile appeared on his round face: "It should be all of the 101st Army and half of the 102nd Army, and the other half and the Heavy Artillery Regiment of the Group Army are still in Chongqing, and I am afraid that it will be a month before we reach Songhu." ”

Chen Cheng couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this, it seemed that the 49th Group Army couldn't count on it. Jiang Baili looked at Fan Shaozeng and then at Chen Cheng and sighed: "Even if you catch up with Songhu, what can you do, if you want to win the War of Resistance, you can't expect a battle." want to take first; Everyone knows this, but it's hard to do. ”

"Resignation, instead of defending everywhere, it is better to give up gradually, transfer troops from the urban area, enrich the flanks, as for the urban area, block it if it can be blocked, and retreat if it can't be stopped."

Chen Cheng understood the meaning of Jiang Baili's words,

But he understood, and even Fan Shaozeng understood, Jiang Baili wanted Chen Cheng to not let it go openly, and he wanted to be beaten out by the Japanese army.

The commander asked us to hold out for at least ten more days. Chen Cheng was embarrassed, the constituent meeting of the signatories of the nine-nation pact was held on November 3, and it is expected to last for 12 days, but now it is only one day.

"The problem now is to hard-cap for ten days, but at the risk of the collapse of the whole army; It may not take more than ten days to hold the army, but the army can be successfully withdrawn from the Songhu battlefield. Jiang Baili stood up and walked to the map, pointed to the map and said: "Cixiu, there is another danger, if the Japanese army lands in the northern part of Hangzhou Bay, the troops attack Shanghai in two ways, attack Jiaxing in the other, and then attack Nanjing along the Taihu South Road, how to solve it?" ”

Beads of sweat suddenly oozed from the corners of Chen Cheng's forehead, the Songhu front line was already in danger, and the two group armies that were reinforced to the north of Hangzhou Bay were nominally group armies, but what the actual situation was, he was very clear, the replenishment was only one-third, and most of the strong men from Hubei and Jiangxi were still on the way, and these strong men were still recruits who had never held guns, and their combat effectiveness could be imagined.

The 10th Group Army, which defended in eastern Zhejiang, was also composed of second- and third-rate troops, with a total strength of only three divisions and three temporary independent brigades, and its combat effectiveness was extremely weak.

Obviously, the 10th Army could not stop the Japanese attack, even if the Japanese army had only one division.

Chen Cheng couldn't sit still, he stood up, walked to the map, and pondered carefully, the troops, where did the troops come from. The idea of abandoning Shanghai is renewed.

"If you fight in Shanghai and fight hundreds of thousands of troops, what will happen to Nanjing?" Jiang Baili's words hit Chen Cheng's weakness again.

"I see." Chen Cheng nodded slowly, Jiang Baili smiled with some relief, it was easier to persuade Chen Cheng than expected, and one of the purposes of this visit to the Songhu battlefield was to persuade Chen Cheng to gradually withdraw his troops from Shanghai.

After Chen Cheng's attitude relaxed, Jiang Baili asked Chen Cheng to help divide the officers he brought into various units, Fan Shaozeng immediately proposed to go to Luodian, Lin Junxian proposed to go to the city, and Yan Pengtao naturally went to check the road traffic and air defense deployment. Chen Cheng satisfied them one by one, but Yan Pengtao suggested that he go directly to the Wufu line to understand that it was impossible for the 49th Group Army to participate in the Songhu War of Resistance.

Fan Shaozeng and the others went to their respective destinations overnight, and Chen Cheng returned to the war room and immediately ordered the 36th Division to be transferred from the urban area to the west of Dachang, and ordered the 57th Division of Ruan Zhaochang to be placed under the command of the 74th Army and move to the northern part of Hangzhou Bay together. The defense west of Suzhou Creek was undertaken by the 87th and 88th Division, the Huang Jie Tax Police Corps and the 61st Division of Zhong Song, and the 18th Army of the First Army and the Guo Rudong Division of the Sichuan Army that had withdrawn to the rear for rest immediately moved to Wuxi and stationed on the Xicheng Line, and Li Jiayu's 47th Army was stationed on the Wufu Line.

In the northern part of Hangzhou Bay, the 21st Group Army was ordered to concentrate on the defense of Songjiang, and the 74th Army was transferred to the 10th Group Army, and the 10th Group Army gave up supporting the Songjiang operation and instead made every effort to hold Jiaxing. All the lightly and seriously wounded immediately retreated to Nanjing.

Chen Cheng's movements were very fast, and he began to adjust that night, the 36th Division was withdrawn from the urban area, and Ruan Zhaochang's division was under the command of Yu Jishi of the 74th Army during the battle in Dachang, but he was not subordinate to the 74th Army, and the 74th Army did not follow when it was transferred south to Hangzhou Bay.

Fan Shaozeng arrived at the group army headquarters in Luodian Yang Sen in the middle of the night, and many people in Fan Shaozeng's and Yang Sen's department were familiar with him, and when he lived in seclusion in Fanzhuang, Chongqing, he often came and went with Yang Sen's subordinates, and everyone felt very cordial when they met at the front line at this moment.

"Ha'er, you're not in Fan Zhuang, what are you doing here? Beware of giving another dowry. Yang Sen teased Fan Shaozeng as soon as he opened his mouth.

This dowry is also a story, when Fan Shaozeng's aunt wife was studying in school, she fell in love with the young principal of the school, the two of them passed the book, Fan Shaozeng was furious when he knew, and caught the principal to Fan Zhuang to kill to vent his anger, the principal's mother found Wang Xu to intercede, Fan Shaozeng after persuasion, he also felt that it was inappropriate to kill like this, after thinking about it, he simply accepted the concubine as his goddaughter, and then paid a dowry to marry the young principal, which was a beautiful talk in Sichuan for a while.

Our eldest brother doesn't talk about the second brother, and your brother is the same. Fan Shaozeng didn't care at all, and returned Yang Sen indifferently, Yang Sen also has many concubines, and he has also given birth to something like Fan Shaozeng, but Yang Sen is much more ruthless, both of them were killed, this matter is not clear to the outside world, but for Fan Shaozeng, the robe uncle, it is by no means a secret.

"Haha, it's not a recipe for stealing chickens and rice, you Fan Haer, with a simple face, drink tea with a bright face in your heart." Yang Sen beckoned Fan Shao to the house, and then said to the subordinates present with a straight face: "Go, what to do, what to do, I want to roll the jokes of our brothers." ”

Everyone laughed and dispersed, and after entering the house, Yang Sen said to Fan Shaozeng: "Say, brother, what's the matter with coming to me?" ”

"You kid is treacherous enough, and your heart is as loud," Fan Shaozeng squinted his eyes, smiled and took out a letter from his arms and handed it over: "The letter from the Cultural Revolution to you." ”

Yang Sen took it and tore open the seal, and quickly read it with the lantern. After reading it, he began to ponder. Fan Shaozeng drank tea and stared at Yang Sen with two eyes: "What?" What did the Cultural Revolution say? ”

"Aren't you going to re-enter the military? Why did it come out again? Yang Sen, who was awakened, did not answer directly, but asked Fan Shaozeng with interest.

After Fan Shaozeng privately accepted Chiang Kai-shek's money and was Liu Xiangjue, he took the method of Ming Sheng and secretly surrendered to relieve him of his military power, and broke up his descendants and incorporated them into other troops. It was also in the past few years that he got in touch with Zhuang Jihua again.

"In the past, I fought a civil war, and I was not a hero to fight to the death, but in this national war, how can I Fan Ha'er participate in it, Liu Fucheng's matter is just a trivial matter." Fan Shaozeng is colorful.

Fan Shaozeng was unsatisfactory to Liu Xiang, but Yang Sen knew it, so he was able to bring a letter to Zhuang Wenge, indicating that he had hooked up with Zhuang Wenge and was a person from Zhuang Wenge.

"Look at it." After Yang Sen quickly determined Fan Shaozeng's identity, he handed over Zhuang Jihua's letter.

When he was in Wuhan, Zhuang Jihua didn't say anything when he handed the letter to him, only asked him to hand it over to Yang Sen, and did not explain anything else. Fan Shaozeng hesitated, but finally took it.

Zhuang Jihua's letter was very simple, he reminded Yang Sen that the Songhu War of Resistance had reached a critical moment, the first strength was almost exhausted, if the Japanese army increased its troops again, the Shanghai front was in danger of collapse, and the 24th Group Army had to assume greater responsibility as a new force.

In the letter, Zhuang Jihua did not directly say what to do, but simply analyzed the situation, which meant that Yang Sen would watch and do it himself.
