War of Resistance

Chapter 122
"Is this group of devils really that strong?" Hearing this, Xu Mo frowned slightly. He is already 35 years old and has fought many battles. He clearly knows how strong the Central Army is.

Seeing Xu Mo's skeptical look, Zhang Tianhai's heart ached, but he held back and nodded, "Well, it's best to report to your superiors, I The devils in front of the army are the elite of the [-]th Division of the enemy, and their combat effectiveness is very strong. I’m done with this, and now we’re going to gather at Suzhou Creek. By the way, this is Dachang, right?”

"Yes, this is the big venue." Xu Mo nodded, "Since you are going to gather, I won't say much. I'll let my guards see you off!"

"Okay." Zhang Tianhai nodded and was not polite to Xu Mo.

"Xu Yang, see off the guests." Xu Mo said carelessly, it seems that he is not an officer from the martial arts hall, but is most likely joined by the Bandit Mountain King.

"Yes." Xu Mo's guard responded.

I saw that Xu Yang, Xu Mo's guard, did not belong to that kind of strong man, but was a little thin, and his appearance did not look like a generation of martial arts practitioners. Most likely he was a brother of Xu Mo's family or something, just to take care of him. Just be safer around you.Zhang Tianhai thought.

"Thank you, Battalion Commander Xu." Zhang Tianhai gave a military salute as a pure thank you.

"Okay. We have a long way to go, so let's leave now." Xu Mo also casually returned a military salute. He looks very strong, and his body always gives off the feeling of a muscular man. Well, it may be because of his height.

Dachang is not far from Suzhou Creek, about two kilometers south of Dachang is Suzhou Creek.

At this time, the Suzhou Creek was no longer as clear as before. It was either stained with bloody red, or with turbid yellow sand, which was very unsightly.

In the morning, Song Xilian had already arrived here, and under the order of Shangfeng, the No.70 Eighth Army (to put it bluntly, it was the 36th Division, and the 78th Army only had the 36th Division under its jurisdiction, and Song Xilian, the commander of the army, also served as the division commander) assembled here to fight against the Japanese invaders' westward advance.

In addition to the lack of three battalions in the [-]th Brigade, and the lack of a [-]th Regiment in the [-]th Brigade, all the rest of the horses that can be assembled are here.

Three battalions, not too many, not too few, but the strength of a whole regiment.With the addition of the [-]th Regiment, there are two full regiments of troops. With so many troops in the back of the palace, I don't know whether to cry or laugh.

But no matter what, Song Xilian's task is to gather troops, and then set up a defensive position on the Suzhou River to prevent the enemy on the north bank of the Suzhou River from crossing south, and form a pincer attack with the enemy in Jiangwan against our army.

Song Xilian's division headquarters was set up on Luobeigen Road in the west of Huxi. After he was ordered to withdraw troops to this place, the headquarters of the 36th Division was transferred from the Central Group Army commanded by Zhu Shaoliang to the Right Wing Group Army commanded by Zhang Fakui, and the commander also changed from Zhu Shaoliang to Zhang Fakui. .

Jiangwan battlefield.

At this time, the battle was still not over. The No.13 Division of the Japanese Army, led by the division commander Ogizhou Libing, was in hot pursuit of the retreating Chinese army.

The entire Second Battalion of the [-]th Regiment was killed. This is not the end, but more like a beginning.

Facing the fierce pursuit of the Japanese army, Xiong Xinmin clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, but there was still nothing he could do.

"Withdraw!" Xiong Xinmin squeezed out the word through his teeth with a face full of unwillingness.

Shanghai South, North Xinjing.

Xiong Xinmin, who had been chased all the way to this point, suddenly received an order from the division headquarters-to immediately occupy the Beixinjing position and defend it to the death, not to retreat unless ordered, and those who violated the order will be dealt with by military law.

"Tuanza, is our regiment really going to stick to this place? The Japanese army's firepower is very fierce..." A staff officer who looked young said tentatively.

To be honest, Xiong Xinmin can understand the staff's thoughts. After all, the fighting here has been too brutal for more than two months. Bored, almost unbearable.

But even so, Xiong Xinmin did not forget his mission as a soldier. He took a deep look at a long and meandering river in front of him, and then took a look at the He said firmly: "This battle must be fought! Order the whole regiment to rush to build fortifications along the left bank of the river immediately, and let the engineers blow up that bridge to Lao Tzu! Move quickly, if any company lags behind, I kicked his ass to pieces!"

"Yes!" The messenger beside Xiong Xinmin responded.

……

Then turn the camera back to Zhang Tianhai.

At this time, Zhang Tianhai finally ran to the south bank of the Suzhou River in a panic with a group of officers and soldiers who were mostly wounded.

At this time, the position of the 36th Division has been set up here, and it is in full swing.

"Brother, I want to ask, which regiment are you from, have you seen the troops of our [-]th regiment?" Walking to the side of a trench digging site, Zhang Tianhai squatted down and asked the soldiers who were busy digging trenches .

The soldier saw that he was a major, so he put down his work, stood at attention and saluted: "Report sir, we are from the third battalion of the [-]th Regiment. If you are looking for the [-]th Regiment, I can take you to ask about our regiment. seat."

Hearing this, Zhang Tianhai frowned slightly. He took out a cigarette from his coat pocket and lit it. He hesitated.

Zhang Tianhai has learned to smoke since he went to the Songhu battlefield and became the battalion commander of the first battalion. It doesn't mean that men who have money can learn to be bad or something. The main reason is that the pressure is too great - people die here every day. It was still his own robe, he didn't want his soldiers to die in vain, so almost every decision he made was deliberate.

The pressure is not ordinary.

When he came to this Shanghai battlefield known as the "meat grinder", Zhang Tianhai found that the special operations that he spent a lot of time studying in his previous life did not seem to come in handy. Strong, don't you have to be suppressed and beaten when you encounter a machine gun?Besides, even if he wants to fight, he must have a special force that can pull it out.

But having said that, do you want to ask the head of the [-] regiment for directions?It seems a bit embarrassing...

After thinking about it, Zhang Tianhai shook his head and said, "Forget it, take me to ask your battalion commander!"

"Yes, sir!" The soldier replied.

……

What Zhang Tianhai may not know is that the Japanese army attacked right after he left the Second Battalion of the [-]th Regiment. Although Battalion Commander Xu Mo had heard Zhang Tianhai's words that the Japanese army was extremely powerful, he still Insufficient preparations, the Dachang position that the national army officers and soldiers desperately recaptured two days ago fell again.

On the Huxi battlefield, the national army fell into a disadvantage again.
