Chapter 59: Bad Size
4.59 Bad size
The exchange of fire between the 99th Army and the 11th Division meant that the focus of the war in Songhu began to shift from the downtown area of Shanghai to the suburbs, and the burden on Chen's shoulders began to be heavy, but fortunately, the 18th Army of his starting unit was all in place, and the army commander Luo Zhuoying was the "descendant" general who Chen admired the most in the "civil engineering department", the 99th Army resisted the landing of the Japanese army, and then General Zhang successively mobilized the 98th and 36th divisions of the Ninth Army to move to Pudong, and Chen Xiaochang, who had nearly 80,000 horses in his hand, finally breathed a sigh of relief......
Japan's "Shanghai Dispatch Army" had a total of only 50,000 troops, and it was impossible for them all to be piled ashore at once, and the 15 th Group Army even had an overwhelming advantage in the strength of troops in some areas, and Vice Minister Chen really wanted to fight a beautiful war of annihilation.

Therefore, he strongly supported Huang Haoran's 99th Army's actions on the beachhead, and even the only artillery regiment in his hand reinforced the 99th Army.
Matsui Ishone, who was on the command ship, looked at the gray coastline in front of him with a telescope from time to time, and his mood was as bad as the weather!
Originally, General Matsui Ishine planned to swing two iron fists, the 11th Division landed from the mouth of the Liuhe River, after the landing, the vanguard should attack the Luodian and Jiading areas, and the 3rd Division landed from Wusong, after the landing, it was necessary to secure the landing point and attack Dachang Town.
As a result, now the first punch is smashed on the iron plate of the 99th Army!
The 11th Division met in Chuanshakou and Chuansha Town, not only lost more than 3,000 soldiers, but the remnants of the 12th Wing on the beach were still in danger of being driven into the sea by the Chinese army at any time.
When did the Chinese army have such a strong army as the 99th Army? It seems that the fiasco of the Shanghai Marine Corps was not only a light enemy and a coincidence, judging from the battles that took place at night, the Chinese army had the strength to annihilate the Marine Corps!
But since the Chinese have such superior firepower and overwhelming numerical superiority, how could they not take the Huishan Pier after 10 days of attack?
This made Matsui Ishine puzzled.
The army factions and internal friction of the Republic of China are not clear even to the Chinese themselves, and Matsui Ishine, the Japanese, is even more confused!
The true strength of the Chinese army in the Songhu area was like a fog in front of him, which made Matsui Ishone unable to see clearly.
Is the landing of the 3rd Division still going according to plan? At the railway ferry terminal and Zhanghuabang, about 15 kilometers south of Wusong Town, will there be another huge trap waiting for the "Shanghai Dispatch Army"?
Matsui Ishine was actually shaken a little!
If there is another unit like the 99th Army, the landing journey of the 3rd Division will definitely be unpleasant!
An hour ago, there was information from the railway ferry terminal and the direction of Zhanghuabang that after the attack at Chuanshakou began, the Chinese army blew up all the wharves and trestle bridges in one fell swoop, and in order to prevent the Japanese army from landing, the Shanghai Municipal Security Corps even sent soldiers everywhere carrying ZHA medicine to blow up the wharves along the Huangpu River one by one.
Over time, the difficulties of the landing of the Japanese army will become more and more difficult!
The chief of staff, Major General Mamoru Iinuma, suggested abandoning the landing in Wusong Town and looking for a landing site, but Matsui Ishone did not answer immediately, but kept looking for it on the map.
The battle plan of the two iron fists was the proud work of Matsui Ishone, and in the "January 28" Shanghai battlefield five years ago, the Japanese army also encircled the 19th Route Army according to the tactics of flanking and detouring.
This tactic of concentrating all forces and carrying out a surprise attack at a decisive point is called "Kanei" in military science, and now Matsui Ishine still wants to repeat the calculation, still landing on the line from Liuhekou to Wusong, directly attacking Luodian, and encircling the Chinese army from the northern flank.
Could it be that the 3rd Division has not yet given up this heavy blow?
Matsui Ishine is reluctant!
After breaking the pencil in his hand with great force, Matsui Ishine made up his mind to fight according to the original plan!
The gunfire of the 77 incident is still in the ears, although the Chinese army is not like the 918 time when the gun escaped for 300 miles, but the military quality and equipment are still inferior, and can only rely on the number of people to block the iron hooves of the Japanese army in North China, Matsui Shigen does not believe that the Chinese army is as capable as the 99th army!
Perhaps, the 99th Army is an outlier in the Nanjing Army, just an outlier!
If the troops encountered by the 3rd Division were still as strong as the 99th Army, Matsui Ishine would suggest that the base camp increase troops or reroute to Zhejiang to land, and then slowly look for fighters.
I have to say that Matsui Shigen's sense of war is very keen, and the Chinese army in Wusong Town is far less powerful than the 99th Army.
Zhang Hao's battalion collected a total of 738 38 canopies, 29 crooked handles, 11 92 heavy machine guns, 13 mortars, 7 Type 92 infantry guns, and grenadier ammunition.
The annihilated units of the 22nd Wing included an artillery squadron, so the capture of the 99th Army was very rich!
If it weren't for the little devil's habit of destroying heavy weapons before dying, the 2nd battalion would have gained even more.
Zhang Hao couldn't look down on the light weapons equipped by the Japanese army, but the infantry guns, mortars and grenadiers were all good things, and Battalion Commander Zhang planned to digest them all internally.
He knew that it was impossible for a battalion to swallow this piece of fat, so he pulled the regiment commander Zhang Guangfu to do it together.
The battle was not fought by a regiment of the 536th Regiment, the two brother troops of the 535th Regiment and the 537th Regiment were okay to say, and they would no longer say anything after sharing some benefits, but the 531st Regiment under Shen Laoshou also participated in the battle, Shen Yuanlong has always eaten more in terms of equipment and supplies, and no one in the 99th Army dared to take this second master, Zhang Guangfu and Zhang Hao's actions immediately attracted Shen Laoer, a predator.
Zhang Guangfu glared at Zhang Hao and Battalion Commander Zhang, and complained vigorously in his heart, just for these broken cannons, he actually found such a big trouble for himself!
Zhang Hao doesn't have as many concerns as his regiment leader, he is also a master who will not let go if he has benefits, since he plans to swallow it alone, no one will give face!
Shen Yuanlong is not the brigade commander of the 302nd Brigade, and he can't control the 2nd Battalion of the 536th Regiment.
Shen Lao Er was stunned for a moment when he saw Zhang Hao with a stinky face, the 99 Army saw him Shen Erye (Shen Lao Er's self-styled one) is not careful to deal with it, and it really makes Brigade Commander Shen overjoyed when he meets someone who doesn't eat this set.
I like to have a kind!
The capture of the 536 regiment was originally Shen Lao Er couldn't look down on him, the military seat was his eldest brother, Wang Huanzhi was in charge of logistics, the equipment of the 301 Brigade has always been a strong pick, and he Shen Brigade Commander was too lazy to come and go with a few infantry guns, but it was really Qian Guoliang of the 531 Regiment who said that the 536 Regiment did not give any face, and even the particle bombs were not given to the 301 Brigade.
Unexpectedly, when he saw Zhang Hao, a guy with the same temper as Shen Laoer, Brigade Commander Shen was very happy!
Battalion Commander Zhang looked at the grinning Shen Luzuo and suddenly shivered, he had a sense of foreboding.
Shen Lao Er pulled Zhang Guangfu aside and muttered for a while, Zhang Guangfu and Zhang turned around with an embarrassed look on his face and said:
"Brothers, Brigade Commander Shen said, this time our 536th Regiment fought hard, and the captured 301st Brigade will not stretch out its hand....."
Zhang Hao just wanted to show a smile, but Captain Zhang's next words immediately beat him into a petrified state!
"The battalion commander under Shen Brigade has fallen ill, and the manpower is not available, our brother troops can't help it, Battalion Commander Zhang, you can go to the 301st Brigade to support! It's a secondment, and your relationship will be dealt with after the war! ”
Zhang Hao's mouth was open enough to stuff his fist, and he said in a daze:
"Ah..... Yes!? .... No way!!! ”
