Rise from eight hundred.

Chapter 188 Turning to the South
"Yes! The Japanese are waiting ahead!" Tang Dao looked at the dark night sky and sighed slightly.

Including Lei Xiong, everyone's heart sank suddenly.

Tang Dao confirmed the worst outcome they imagined in their hearts.

"However, who said we were going to run along the Huxi Highway?" Looking at a group of officers with stern faces, Tang Dao smiled lightly.

Reaching out for a pen and paper, he drew a few strokes in the light of the flashlight, "Since the devil won't let us go back to our army's main line directly, then let's go here."

"Where is that?" Everyone looked at the topographic map drawn by Tang Dao, and couldn't help but gasp.

Although the Tang knife is drawn scribbled, it can basically make people see the battle map of the Chinese and Japanese armies stretching tens of kilometers in the west of Shanghai.

Where they are now, the straight-line distance is no more than three kilometers away from returning to their own position, which seems to be close at hand. If they go straight, it is the simplest and most direct escape route.

But everyone knew that the simplest route was also the most difficult. The Japanese army on the ground only needed to block them for 15 minutes, and the pursuers could catch up, and it was difficult for everyone to escape.

The route drawn by Tang Dao was not going straight, but turning left. Not only could he not escape to the main formation of the army that was close at hand, but he was heading south of Songhu.

Nanxiang, the lieutenant colonel had already informed the big guys in the telegram before, but there is no main force of the army, so if you come to the Japanese infantry brigade, you can drive the big guys like dogs.

"Songjiang!" Tang Dao's eyes were like a knife. "The route and response instructions previously sent to us by the chief of the regiment are no longer available due to changes in the battle situation. We have to leave through another breakthrough."

Chong Chong drew a circle on the hand-painted map, "Here is where we must arrive today."

Turning to look at his own messenger: "Erya, call the regiment and ask him to tell the defenders here to respond, and tell them that we have captured two [-]-type mountain guns and more [-]-type heavy machine guns from the Japanese invaders. If they can successfully receive us, these things will be theirs."

"Sir, how do you know there are our people there?" Leng Feng was dumbfounded.

"Then we'll have to wait until we get there first!" Tang Dao strode towards the lead car and said a word. "If you don't run away, Lao Leng, you will have no chance to know the answer."

"Run, you'd be a fool if you don't run!" Leng Feng jumped into his car as soon as he turned around.

Of course, the people present would not know that the tens of kilometers from Jiading to Kunshan is the key area where hundreds of thousands of troops from China and Japan confront each other, but in a few hours, the little-known Songjiang town in the south of Songhu It will become the focus of the Chinese and Japanese militaries.

Because, on the sea of ​​Jinshanwei, which is only [-] kilometers away from Songjiang City, the Japanese army's huge transport fleet has broken down and is preparing to land, and the one who is about to land is the Japanese Tenth Army with a total strength of [-] transferred from North China.

That would be the last straw that crushed the hundreds of thousands of Chinese troops struggling to retreat or stick to Huxi.

Once the Tenth Army stepped through Songjiang City, this fierce left uppercut would directly cut off the retreat of the hundreds of thousands of troops.

At that time, disaster will strike.

The hundreds of thousands of troops fleeing hastily will lose their unified command, and the swarming troops will completely block the narrow roads. In order to escape this battlefield that is about to engulf everyone, those elites will throw away all their heavy equipment and will Abandoning the seriously wounded and completely turning into a rout.

Everyone knows that the Chinese army suffered nearly 300,000 casualties in the Battle of Songhu. In fact, at least half of the casualties did not occur in the urban battle, but after the great retreat that began on November 11.

The wounded soldiers who were abandoned on the side of the road stretched for tens of miles, howling loudly. They served the country, but because of the stupid instructions of their bosses, they finally became abandoned children. This is a scene that the whole of China can't bear to look back on.

The current direction of Songjiang, because of the tactics of the Japanese base camp, did not send a large army to threaten. Instead, it became the most likely way for Tang Dao and his gang to escape. Even in the next few days, it will become a dead end.

However, whether it is a passive choice or not, Songjiang is also a must-go place for Tang Dao.

Huaxia is a very peculiar nation. No matter in that era, no matter how bad the situation is, whether the fire of the whole nation is in turmoil, there will always be brave people who will stand up.

The Battle of Songjiang, which is about to leave its name in the entire history of the Great Patriotic War, is like this.

A Northeast Army will stand firm in this small city, and with more than [-] troops, they will fight fiercely against the two divisions of the Japanese Army. In the end, six generals, eight colonels and regimental commanders will be killed, and one-third of the entire army will be lost. Second, at the price of three days and nights for the hundreds of thousands of troops to retreat.

Tang Dao may not be able to change the situation of the fierce battle between the nearly [-] troops on both sides, but he still has the opportunity to change the tragic ending of some people.

That general shouldn't have been denied the treatment he deserved after his heroic death in battle.

Moreover, there are several jaw-dropping Japanese names, Hisao Tani, Mitsuru Ushishima, and Heisuke Yanagawa, all of whom were active participants and facilitators of the massacre.

For Tang Dao, if someone wants to be a butcher, the butcher should be slaughtered first.

About one kilometer away from the front line of the Japanese army, Tang Dao led the convoy to turn to the left, and passed by the Japanese army's position that was already in full swing.

One kilometer away, a Japanese major who was sitting in the town in person saw the headlights getting farther and farther away from his own side, and almost spit out a mouthful of old blood.

Didn't it mean that this is the famous Four Elements Battalion of the Chinese army?Why not as brave and fearless as imagined?The ability to put oil on the soles of the feet is quite awesome.

From the direction in which the headlights moved, he could of course tell where the group of Chinese were going, which was going south to Songjiang.

Is that really a Chinese army that has been fighting in Zhabei for almost a week?It's not that the facts are right in front of our eyes, the Japanese major is really hard to believe.

If he was not very familiar with the positions of both sides, the distribution of troops, and even the roads, he would never have made such a choice.

Both China and Japan concentrated almost all their main forces in Huxi a week ago, but the Songjiang area on the side of Huxi had become a no-hands zone before that.

Of course, both China and Japan are not stupid. As long as one side makes any changes to this important flank, it will immediately deploy troops to this place.

It's just that the Chinese side didn't realize that the appetite of the Japanese army base camp was beyond imagination. They didn't transfer troops from the Songhu dispatched army. Hundreds of thousands of Chinese elites swallowed it in one gulp, and transferred three divisions directly from North China. They have already stayed on the sea of ​​Jinshanwei at the moment, and the plan is half successful.

It's just that no matter how much the Japanese Major vomited blood, he couldn't do anything about suddenly changing direction and not following his hard steel convoy.

Compared with today's western countries, the degree of mechanization of the Japanese army is still the distance from the earth to Mars. In addition to the supply troops that need to transport supplies, the infantry can at most be equipped with a few horses for senior officers to travel.

Why do you let him chase?Just rely on two short legs?

Perhaps only the 10th Infantry Regiment, which arrived 36 minutes later, was eligible.

These unlucky guys are now fully mechanized, with motorcycles in the front and two Type 94 armored vehicles behind them.

Just looking at the equipment, they can be called the elite of the elite.

Hearing that the Chinese were slipping to the south, Hideyoda naturally gritted his teeth and gave the order to continue the pursuit.

This is no longer a matter of meritorious service or not. From the moment Nakagawa Hiroshizuo began to intervene, Toyoda Hideo knew that if he could not kill this wave of Chinese, his unlucky attributes would make him cry.
