So far, the special service group has suffered more than half of the casualties, nearly 200 killed, and the total number of the whole regiment is only 800, and a quarter of it is gone.

It is said to be a special service group, but it is actually a reinforced battalion.

The seriously wounded were sent to the rear field hospital for treatment, and none of the lightly wounded were out of the line of fire, fighting on the front line.

Shangguan Zhibiao, deputy regiment commander and chief of staff, had never closed his eyes since the beginning of the war, and in the face of such a powerful enemy, he was almost exhausted and died.

In order to fight the blockade battle, his brain was running at full capacity, and his eyes were full of bright red bloodshots.

The Japanese army suddenly increased reinforcements, and weapons such as chariots joined in, and the pressure on the frontal defense was too great, but behind them was Jiangpu Town.

Even if more than 100,000 Nanjing refugees have been settled, the logistics support organization of the Honor First Division is basically in Jiangpu Town, and even if it is evacuated now, it will take time.

So, he had to hold on, because there wasn't much room left to maneuver.

The battle to encircle and annihilate the 65th Wing deployed by the 1st Division of Honor had just begun, and the Japanese army had increased its troops from Yangzhou, so it was impossible to give him too much support.

It's all up to them.

This is much more difficult than guarding the Sixing warehouse at the beginning, there are no fortifications to take care of, and the Japanese army does not have much estimate, the only thing that can make them fight with peace of mind is that there is a strong division behind him.

The 800 officers and men of the special service regiment are not fighting alone, they have hundreds of thousands of Nanjing people as their backing, and there is also a strong and powerful division in charge.

With these, no one in the secret service group is afraid.

For two days, the special task force held off the Japanese troops in Dongqingzhuang for two days and two nights, and during these two days and two nights, hundreds of trenches and fortresses were built and dug behind them.

These forts and trenches were dug with the help of the Nanjing soldiers and civilians who supported them against the Japanese army, and tens of thousands of people fought on the front line of the war of resistance.

They all understood a truth, they could not let the Japanese come over, and if the Japanese did, they would never recover, and they harbored bitter hatred.

They also had to help the secret service group stop the attack of little Japan.

Once the power of the people bursts out. That is the color of even the heavens and the earth.

The secret service group was in a critical situation and had to abandon its original blocking strategy, retreat and resist step by step. Exchanging space for time is quite in line with the most fashionable words of the moment.

Although the retreat was orderly, the Japanese army did not dare to catch up, whether it was Xie Jiyuan or Shangguan Zhibiao, their hearts felt very heavy.

The Japanese army tripled its strength. There are also armored combat vehicles, even if they are "thin-skinned" bean combat vehicles, which are much stronger than flesh and blood without any protection.

The 1st Division of Honor also has tanks, but it will definitely not be used here at this time.

"Tuanza, we now have less than 700 troops on hand, and the Japanese army has now soared to 3,000 people, and the order given to us by Shizao is to hold on for at least a week, this battle is not easy to fight!"

"It's not easy to fight, but you have to fight, as long as the elite 65th Wing of the Japanese army is annihilated. Even if I wiped out my secret service group, it was worth it. Xie Jiyuan said heavily.

"Tuanza, I'm not against fighting, but if we continue to fight like this, we may not be able to hold out until the day when the 65th Wing is annihilated." Shangguan Zhi said.

"Isn't there a regiment of the new 38th Brigade in Hexian County, as long as this regiment moves slightly towards Wujiang Town, the Japanese army will divide a part of its forces to guard westward, which can also reduce the pressure on us."

"Well, this can be suggested by Shizuo, and ask him to coordinate the new 38 travel movement."

"Can the division command the new 38th Brigade?" Shangguan Zhibiao was a little worried.

"You don't have to worry about that. The new 38th Brigade was transferred from the Third Theater by our division, and it was the old unit of our division, and Brigade Commander Luo Yufeng of the new 38th Brigade was an old subordinate of the division, and they fought side by side in Guanghuamen, Nanjing. Xie Jiyuan said with a smile.

"Really?" Shangguan Zhibiao was surprised.

"The new 38 Brigade was transferred this time. I don't even know from above, the great victory at Yuxikou is ostensibly a strategy from the top, but in fact it is the arrangement of our division, so the new 38th Brigade is definitely moving. ”

"That's great. It would be great if the new 38th Brigade could support us. ”

"This depends on the situation at Yuxikou...... "Xie Jiyuan is not sure, after all, the new 38th Brigade has a big battle, and the losses are not small, and it urgently needs to be replenished and rested.

Nanjing, the headquarters of the Front Army, the sound of a fierce quarrel came from the office of General Shunroku Hata.

"Why did you give my troops to that Ushijima Man's command?" Fujita Jin, the commander of the Third Division, was very dissatisfied, and his own troops were handed over to an outsider to command, who still suffered defeat at Yuxikou and almost couldn't return himself.

Is it the incompetence of the generals of the 3rd Division?

As the division commander of the 3rd Division, he must take action to protect the interests and dignity of his division, even if Shunroku Hata is now his immediate boss, he must fight for reason.

"Isn't Katayama-kun injured, I just asked Ushijima-kun to temporarily command, Ushijima-kun won the battle, and the credit is also your third division, isn't it?" Toshi-rikuchi Hata.

"Katayama-kun is injured, but his injuries are not serious, isn't there still Ueno-kun, he can also command?" Fujita Shindo.

"Ueno-kun is now the commander of the Nanjing Garrison Command, and the task of cleaning up is heavy, if you send him out, who will replace him, are you, Fujita-kun?" Shunroku Hata raised his voice a point.

Fujita Jin frowned slightly, he really had a headache for this kind of trivial matter, if it was really handed over to him, he would not be able to live this day.

"Three infantry brigades, one cavalry brigade, one field heavy artillery brigade, and one engineer brigade were withdrawn from the 3rd Division, and a mixed wing was formed, and handed over to Ushijima-kun for command, can it be formed within a day?"

"Most of my troops are not in the number, and there are a lot of reductions, if it is just withdrawn, it will not be a big problem in one day, but if all the troops under it are full, it will take at least three days."

"No, I can only give you two days." Toshitoshi Hata's six-fold way.

"Your Excellency Commander, can I ask what you want Ushijima-kun to do when you form such a mixed wing?" Fujita Susumu asked suspiciously.

"Pukou!"

"You mean, landing directly from Pukou?" Susumu Fujita was surprised.

"That's right, just when the 1st Division of Honor of the Chinese Army was fighting with our troops, a sudden blow was delivered from his back!" Shunroku Hata said with a hideous look in his eyes.

"But the Chinese army will not be defenseless, after all, we are facing each other across the river?"

"Of course they'll be on the fence, but I've put enough pressure on them. This forced them to make full use of their forces, and as a result, the defense strength of Pukou was bound to weaken, and according to the reconnaissance of our reconnaissance planes in the past few days, their defense force in Pukou was not strong. Apparently we thought we wouldn't be able to collect more ferries in a short period of time and cross the river north. ”

"Where do we get so many ferries?" Fujita Jin also felt a little surprised, such a battle to cross the river, without hundreds of boats, could not be launched at all.

This is not a direct transport of soldiers to the other side. It's okay to go back and forth, but it's not okay, you need a strong force to occupy the forward position from the beginning.

At least 500 people at a time, after occupying the forward position, the follow-up troops must immediately go ashore, otherwise they will be defeated by the other side, and everything will be repeated.

Therefore, if you want to cross the river to fight, you must at least equip hundreds of large ships and have artillery support. Fujita knew that there were several gunboats and patrol boats on the other side, and without the cover of water forces, it would be equivalent to a live target.

"We don't have ferries, but we do have warships, and tonight there are two Navy destroyers coming to shore at the coal port, and a Marine Corps landing with them." A sly glint flashed in Shunroku Hata's eyes.

"Your Excellency the Commander has already planned, but why should Ushijima-kun be the commander of this operation?" Fujita is puzzled, this is obviously a great credit, how can he give it to a defeated general?

"Because Ushijima is full of courage before the snow!" Toshi-rikuchi Hata.

When Fujita heard this, his face couldn't help but turn pale. The whole of the 3rd Division, including himself, would really be a little timid if they were to face the Honorary First Division again. I was scared of being beaten.

This reason made Fujita Susumu speechless, and the morale of the 3rd Division was indeed not high now.

To carry out such a task, it is necessary to have a strong and powerful commander, and the 3rd Division really cannot find a more suitable one than Mitsuru Ushijima.

In addition to this, Shunroku Hata also fell in love with Mitsuru Ushijima's ambition and aggressiveness, which many Japanese generals did not have. He was very optimistic about the future of Mitsuru Ushijima, so this time he gave him that chance.

Pukou, Honorary 1st Division Headquarters.

"Boss, the Jungle Wolf reported that a transport plane landed in the Dajiao Field outside Nanjing this morning, and looking at the direction of the flight, it should have come from the west." Guo Weiquan walked into the headquarters with a telegram.

"To the west, is there a Japanese airfield to the west of Nanjing?"

"Yes, there is a military airfield for the Japanese army in Wuhu." Guo Weiquan replied.

"Ask Lao Luo, does he have this kind of intelligence feedback over there!" Leng Feng nodded and commanded.

"I have already asked, Director Wu asked the intelligence department of the new 38th Brigade at the first time, this morning, there was indeed a Japanese transport plane took off from Wuhu Airport and headed east, but I don't know if it was not the one that landed in Nanjing."

"Just compare the time." Leng Feng pursed his lips, how many times do you have to teach this kind of thing yourself?

Guo Weiquan's face turned slightly red, and he didn't know how to answer.

"According to the time comparison, the transport plane that took off from the Wuhu Japanese military airport should be the one that landed in Nanjing, but it is not excluded that there are many Japanese military airfields around Nanjing, which can land military transport aircraft, if you want to confirm, you still need time information feedback!" Luo Xiuya knocked on the door and came in, and said, "These are all the above that our witch department asked me to tell the master." ”

"The intelligence is archived first, and the follow-up news is reported at any time." Leng Feng nodded, there is a lot of this kind of intelligence news every day, and those that are not directly related to the battle situation are all filed according to a certain level first.

"Yes!"

"Brigade Commander Luo has arrived in Hexian County, please ask for instructions on the next step." Long Yingqin reported.

"The Japanese army is constantly increasing troops in Wujiang Town, obviously trying to open a breakthrough from here, Wujiang is only dozens of kilometers away from Pukou, if this Japanese army breaks in, our deployment will be completely chaotic."

"How many Japanese troops are there in Wujiang?"

"The secret service group reports that there are at least 3,000 Japanese troops in Wujiang Town."

"Order Li Ye to drive the chariot squadron to Wujiang, and tonight we will drink the Japanese troops in Wujiang Town first!" Leng Feng ordered coldly.

"Yes!

Guo Weiquan and Long Yingqin glanced at each other, and they couldn't suppress the excitement in their eyes.
