"Baga!"

Hasegawa Masaken had anger on his face, but it was obvious that he was forcibly enduring it.

Looking at the two indifferent soldiers in front of him, Hasegawa Masaken barely squeezed out a smile: "Sugawara Naomasa is really in your hands?" ”

Zhang Sandao didn't say a word, and put a command knife in front of Hasegawa Masaken.

Hasegawa Masanoshi sighed, and he didn't need to look at him to know who the owner of this knife was.

Now something really is wrong

General Matsui's favorite grandson actually fell into the hands of the Shina people, and once it was passed out, it would have a great impact on the general himself and the entire Japanese army.

"Please reply to your commander, I know." Masanori Hasegawa is a very calm person: "I will immediately stop the attack on Matsue as he requested." ”

The staff officers on the side were dumbfounded.

Stop the assault on Matsue? It has already broken through the outer line of Songjiang one after another, and is launching a fierce attack on Songjiang!

"Cheng, then let's go." Guo Yunfeng said lightly.

"Wait." Hasegawa Masaki suddenly shouted.

Guo Yunfeng looked at him: "What, you still want to detain us?" We can't get that Sugawara back. ”

"You misunderstood me." Although he was eager to immediately cut off the heads of the two Chinese soldiers in front of him, Hasegawa Masanoshi still smiled reluctantly: "Your commander Wang Weiyi, is it the same Wang Weiyi at Sanhe Bridge in Shanghai?" ”

"Yes." After Guo Yunfeng finished speaking, he snorted at Zhang Sandao, and the two Chinese soldiers swaggered out of here

"Your Excellency, Wing Commander. Matsue is just around the corner! ”

"Your Excellency, Wing Commander, please allow us to attack again, Sugawara-kun has been fully loyal since he stepped on the battlefield!"

The cries of his subordinates rang out. Hasegawa Masanoshi and Hiroo Nodo, who also knew the true inside story of the road, looked at each other, and both of them had a bitter smile on their faces

The battle outside Matsue Castle stopped in an instant. The Japanese army, which had attacked fiercely, actually retreated to the original offensive position, which made all the soldiers of the 67th Army from Wu Keren to below inexplicable.

What's wrong with the Japanese?

The Battle of Songjiang has been fought hard until now, all the positions on the outer line have been lost, and the Japanese army is fiercely attacking the city, under the blows of the enemy's superior artillery fire. The 67th Army suffered heavy casualties.

But now the Japanese are not fighting for anything?

What happened? No one could give them an answer, and not only that, but even the Japanese planes and artillery stopped bombing at the same time.

"Throne, throne." Jin Kuibi, the commander of the 107th Division, rushed in.

"What's so alarming?"

"Throne. Reinforcements, reinforcements have arrived! ”

"Reinforcements?" In one sentence, the attention of everyone in the command headquarters was attracted, and Wu Keren couldn't wait to say: "How many people?" ”

"Hundreds of people!"

The enthusiasm was extinguished at once. Wu Keren smiled bitterly. A few hundred? Hundreds of people are crammed into this battlefield everywhere. I'm afraid that if I throw it in, it will be swallowed up.

Maybe it's a defeated army that retreated from somewhere

"Throne. You'll find out if you go and see it! Jin Kuibi's voice suddenly raised

Wu Keren and those staff officers, who were forced out by his subordinates, thought they were dazzled when they saw these reinforcements.

Good guys, a dozen tanks, a row of trucks. There are countless light and heavy machine guns and submachine guns. What is that? Mortar! Oh my God, it's really a mortar!

Where did these so well-equipped soldiers come from?

"Report to the army commander, the guard battalion of the 19th Army Headquarters was ordered to come to reinforcements, I am Major Battalion Commander Wang Weiyi!"

"Guards battalion?" Wu Keren was stunned. Then he seemed to think of something: "You are the Tiger Guard Battalion that was personally named by the commission?" ”

"Yes, Commander!"

"Good. Good! As soon as he saw that the other party was well-equipped and there were chariot troops cheering, Wu Keren gained a little confidence: "At present, Songjiang is in danger, and it is an opportunity to employ people. Battalion Commander Wang's army is well-groomed, and it should be a barrier to defend Songjiang! ”

Wang Weiyi asked casually: "Did the Japanese withdraw?" ”

"How do you know about the Dao?" Wu Keren was stunned.

"Oh, we've caught an important Japanese person, and I've written a letter to the Japanese chieftain to get them to retreat."

Wang Weiyi's casual appearance made the officers and staff officers of the 67th Army stunned. What is this major capable of actually making the Japanese retreat?

"We'll talk about that later." Wang Weiyi was also reluctant to explain what happened too carefully: "Please assign us a task from the military seat." ”

"Let's go, let's talk about it in the headquarters."

As soon as he entered the headquarters, Wu Keren briefly told him about the battlefield situation. Originally, as Wang Weiyi's major, there was no need for Wu Keren to be treated so ceremoniously, but the identity of the major in front of him was really special.

He was the battalion commander of the 19th Army Commander-in-Chief Xue Yue's Guards Battalion, and there was no need for reinforcements at all, but he still did not hesitate to come in danger. There is another important reason:

Wang Weiyi is the protégé of the Son of Heaven whom Chairman Chiang Kai-shek personally met and personally inscribed for him!

Don't say that the other party is a major, even if it is a second lieutenant, Wu Keren has to be polite.

"After the Japanese retreated, our army restored its original positions." Wu Keren was not at all easy when he said this: "But I think they will soon re-launch the offensive, and with our current strength, it will be difficult to hold the position." ”

"The Japanese haven't done their best yet." Wang Weiyi looked at the map of Songjiang for a while: "The military seat, the left flank, the first line of Jinhebang and Desheng Lane, the right flank, and the west pass of Songjiang are all the key offensive directions of the Japanese army, and if these two places are lost again, Songjiang City will once again suffer a direct attack by the Japanese army, so"

As he was talking, a staff officer suddenly came in and said, "Report to the military seat, Commander Chen's telegram, in view of the current situation, I ask our department to hold out until November 15!" ”

There was a boiling in the command headquarters.

Hold out until the 15th? Originally, it was said that as long as you stick to Road 8? What does the order suddenly change?

Today is the 7th, there are still eight days left, and the battle has been fought so far, and the casualties of the 67th Army have been very large, how can you hold on?

Wang Weiyi knew very well that it must have been his own advice to Xue Yue that had taken effect. He interrupted the discussion of those staff officers: "Military seat, Songjiang is very important to the entire battle situation, since Commander Chen Cheng has such an order, he must have his intentions. As long as our army is united, it will definitely be able to hold out until the 15th! ”

"You're right." A staff officer sneered: "How do you insist? What to hold onto? ”

Wang Weiyi didn't care about him: "Military seat, please mobilize all the artillery fire of the 107th and 108th divisions and the 67th Army to the front line of Jinhebang and Victory Lane, and gather all the strength of the two divisions, although our army will also suffer huge casualties, but with the determination of the soldiers to the death, we will definitely be able to delay the pace of the Japanese attack."

"Two divisions and all artillery?" Wu Keren frowned: "What about Xiguan?" ”

"Xiguan, please leave it to me!"

Wang Weiyi's words made the headquarters as silent as death.

"Battalion Commander Wang is loyal and courageous, and he is a model for our army." Wu Keren smiled bitterly: "But Battalion Commander Wang only has a few hundred people in his hands, and although he is assisted by a chariot, I don't think he will be able to hold it." ”

He said this very politely. The meaning of the words is actually very clear, with your hundreds of people, didn't they give it to the Japanese to eat?

Wang Weiyi smiled slightly: "Of course, there are not only so many people, but also the brothers in the hands of the 43rd Army and the security commander Wang Gongma, please also hand over all the military seats to me to command." ”

Wu Keren's brows locked deeper, although this major was young and brave, he still didn't know much about the current situation in Songjiang: "Battalion Commander Wang, when the 43rd Army entered Songjiang, there were only more than 500 people left, as for Commander Wang of the Songjiang Security Force, you can talk to the battalion commander." ”

Wang Gongma, the commander of Songjiang Security, sighed: "Battalion Commander Wang, I only have some local troops in my hands, and there were originally more than 700 people in total, but until now, there are still 400 people left, and the equipment is inferior, I'm afraid I can't help you much." ”

"I'm going to have these nine hundred." Wang Weiyi's answer was still so unswerving: "To fight, you don't have to have a lot of people. Soldiers, you don't have to dare to die. I am willing to make a military order, hold on to Xiguan until the 12th, and then withdraw to Songjiang for defensive operations! ”

"Can you hold out in Xiguan until the 12th?" Wu Keren's eyes lit up.

"Yes, Wang Weiyi promises that before 12 o'clock on the night of the 12th, he will never lose Xiguan!"

"Good!" The current Wu Keren can only choose to believe if he doesn't believe it, otherwise with his current strength, he will not be able to meet Chen Cheng's requirements at all: "If you can really hold out until the 12th, and at the same time the left flank of our army is not lost, then I can reach the top of Songjiang until the 15th." Jin Kuibi, Zhang Wenqing, what about you? Can the left wing hold up until the 12th? ”

The two division commanders glanced at each other and said loudly: "Battalion Commander Wang cooperates with the remnants of the army with the strength of a battalion, and still has the courage to insist, if we lose our position before the 12th, what face will we have to call ourselves revolutionary soldiers!" ”

Wang Gongma preemptively said: "Huang Xibei! ”

"Here!" A major stepped forward.

"All the security teams are under the command of Battalion Commander Wang, and those who disobey the order will be killed!"

"Yes!"

"Give the 500 men of the 43rd Army to Battalion Commander Wang." After Wu Keren finished the order: "Battalion Commander Wang, do you have any other requirements?" ”

"Report to the military seat, there is no more." Wang Weiyi said loudly: "The military situation is urgent, and the Japanese army will soon restart the attack, so I will take the brothers to Xiguan!" ”

"Camp Commander Wang, Xiguan will ask you!"

Seeing Wang Weiyi leave, Wang Gongma whispered: "Junzuo, do you really think he can hold out until the 12th?" ”

"So what else can I do?" Wu Keren replied a little bitterly: "Except for them who can create miracles, our army will definitely not be able to hold out until the day of the 15th!" (To be continued.) )
