Rise from eight hundred.

Chapter 371 That's it?

There was just a glimmer of light in the sky.

The Japanese army that surrounded Songjiang on three sides had already begun to get busy on the ground, eating and arranging equipment, and the ministers loudly conveyed the military orders they had just received.

The solemn faces of the soldiers looked even more gloomy under the shadow of the helmets, but they mechanically stuffed the freshly heated rice balls into their mouths.

The positions of the Japanese Heavy Artillery Brigade had already been waiting in full force, and only waited for the order from the superior to teach the Chinese how to behave with cannons.

A total of 4 base shells are placed more than ten meters away from each artillery, because the range of the Chinese artillery is not so far, the Japanese artillery have no scruples, what they have to do is to use the fastest speed to shoot the shells at the Chinese It poured on the hard shells of the soldiers, completely smashing the shields that ruined countless imperial infantrymen.

As heavy artillery shells exploded around the already incomplete city walls of Songjiang, the Japanese infantry began to enter the front-line positions. The lower-level Japanese officers began to shout slogans heart-piercingly, and the Japanese infantry continued to echo loudly.

"Onboard!"

"Long Live the Empire!"

"The empire's military fortune is prosperous!"

All kinds of morale-boosting slogans were chanted by nearly [-] infantry in unison. Although the roar of the mountains and the tsunami did not overwhelm the rumbling artillery in the distance, their power was also extremely scary.

The Japanese army, determined to fight a decisive battle with the Chinese defenders, has already gathered all its strength, and its morale is gradually improving compared with yesterday.

This made Yanagawa Heisuke, who was wearing a telescope around his neck and wearing a helmet for the first time in the headquarters, finally showed a smile on his face.

Military spirit is available!This battle must be won!
However, the lieutenant general commander of the Tenth Army did not see the faces of his colleagues more than a dozen miles away.

It was Lieutenant General Ushishima Sadao who personally commanded an infantry brigade of No. 18 Division to encircle Beicheng. His face was a little stiff.

Front-line military officers kept coming to report to him that there were traces of people trampled by a large number of people in the wilderness outside Songjiang North City, as well as feces left by horses and scattered forage.

Is this the Chinese coming to help the army?
Ushishima Sadao's first thought was this.

But there is absolutely no such possibility, not to mention that after Matsue, he sent a contingent of 400 people under the order of Yanagawa Hirasuke, and the rest of the divisions also sent small-scale reconnaissance vanguards. After patrolling, it is absolutely impossible not to find large-scale Chinese military support.

It is nearly 60 kilometers away from Huxi, unless the Chinese have wings and can move an army of [-] people overnight.

But no matter how confused, Ushishima Sadao immediately sent a telegram to Yanagawa Hirasuke about the discovery of traces of large-scale troops passing by.

Hearing the news, Yanagawa Heisuke was as unbelievable as Ushishima Sadao. He was not surprised that the Chinese reinforcements would enter Songjiang City through the Baihegang Bridge at such a terrifying speed, but he did not believe that the Chinese commander would have such courage. .

China has completely lost its air supremacy, and Songjiang is surrounded by nearly [-] legions. Let alone sending an infantry division, even three or five, it is basically throwing fat into the tiger's mouth. This is a deadly land.

The Chinese defenders in Songjiang City have delayed his Tenth Army for nearly four days and nights. From a strategic point of view, they have completed their mission.

Because of them, the Chinese in Huxi had withdrawn at least half of their troops. Although Yanagawa Hirasuke gritted his teeth in hatred for their heroic battle, from a purely military point of view, Yanagawa Heisuke still admired the Chinese commanders in the city.

Yanagawa Heisuke had even thought about it. After the city was broken, he would find the supreme commander of the Matsue garrison, and he would shoot him himself, and then bury him.

But this kind of courtesy is only for outstanding soldiers who can compete with his Tenth Army for a few days, not for those high-ranking Chinese officials who have performed extremely poorly in the war.

Yanagawa Hirasuke couldn't figure out why they had such courage.

unless
The commander of the Tenth Army of the Japanese Army froze suddenly after pacing and thinking for several minutes in the headquarters with his head bowed.

Looking into the distance with some difficulty, he seemed to have found the reason.

However, it was not because of Baga's reinforcements.

Rather, he appears to have made a colossal mistake.

He believed too much in top-secret information from China.

This thing is not necessarily true.

Perhaps, it's fake at its source, downright deceitful.

Since it is impossible for the Chinese to have reinforcements, why can't they run?
He was tricked by the Chinese!In an instant, the sober Lieutenant General Commander felt as if the soles of his feet were cold.

"Your Excellency, Commander, what's the matter?" Sakai Tokutaro, who had been by Yanagawa Heisuke's side all the time, asked cautiously and softly.

Known as the most unlucky commander of the Tenth Army by the outside world, the major general brigade commander was originally a cautious personality. After defeating his lieutenant general division commander and the major general chief of staff of the army headquarters, the 11th infantry brigade under his command almost Losing combat effectiveness, it wasn't for Yanagawa Hirasuke who used the headquarters of his 11th Infantry Brigade to comfort him, he could only hide in the headquarters and drink alcohol, and of course he was a man with his tail between his legs.

Those who spoke softly, who didn't know, thought that the Japanese army major general had quietly practiced the 'Sunflower Collection'.

"Sakai-kun, may we have been fooled?" Yanagawa Heisuke, who was calm and steady, had humiliation on his face, and a fierce look in his eyes.

"What do you mean?" Sakai Tokutaro thumped in his heart.

Although this person is marked as unlucky in his personal label, he is not stupid.

The telegram sent by Ushishima Sadao just now has two possibilities: China has sent reinforcements; the Chinese have run away.

If your Excellency the Commander judges that you have been fooled, doesn't it mean that the Chinese have slipped away?
To put it bluntly, the impassioned telegrams sent by the Chinese in Songjiang City to their superiors were just a cover.It's just that it's not to fool their superiors, but to lie to them.

"Order the Heavy Artillery Brigade to stop shelling, tell the front to send an infantry squad to quickly approach the Chinese defense line, tell them to work quickly, if my guess is right, there are no Chinese in the city, not a single one. After Yanagawa Hirasuke gave the order, he sat down on the chair.

Ignoring Sakai Tokutaro any more seems to have exhausted all his energy.

If the facts prove his guess, then he will be completely defeated in the battle of Songjiang.

A general with an army of 30,000 was crushed by a Chinese army with more than [-] people, which seemed to be easily crushed. After four days, he slipped away, but he is still clenching his fists. Planning to do a big job, the feeling is indescribable.

If I had to make an analogy, it would be like a strong man being kicked fiercely in the crotch by a young girl who could have been pressed on the ground and rubbed fiercely, and then hooked Yanagawa Koro's chin with a smile, good boy, don't worry , waiting for you tonight!In the end, nothing.

He didn't want to talk to Tokutaro Sakai. Naturally, the famous commander of the [-]th Army Lieutenant General felt that the skinny man in front of him was out of luck. If I said a word to him again, he might kill him. !
Yanagawa Heisuke's mind was very flexible, and he guessed the truth.

Cursing inwardly that the Lieutenant General Commander is not a joke, the extremely nervous Japanese infantry squad arrived at the city defense fortification without any surprises.

no one.

Not only is there no one inside the city wall fortifications.

Songjiang City was also quiet, eerily quiet.

Dozens of infantrymen broke into the city defenses in an offensive formation, and did not encounter the expected hail of bullets until they entered deeper into the city.

As the signal soldiers ran out frantically, more and more Japanese infantry strode into the city.

The military flag representing victory was planted on the top of the city, and the sound of cheers for victory resounded throughout Songjiang.

Before a single shot was fired and no one was killed, they occupied the city that had been hard before. For ordinary infantry, it was a matter of celebration.

However, the Japanese generals who stood at attention at the military meeting a few hours ago, determined to fight the Chinese to the death, once again unified their expressions.

That complexion was as ugly as if he had swallowed a mouthful of hot bus.

Too much, too much.

For Baga, what about the one who promised to fight to the death?
That's it?

You ran away without leaving a single soldier!
No, to be precise, there is not even a dog. Except for the Japanese who are alone in Songjiang City, there is no one watching. They laugh so awkwardly that their happiness index is almost 0.

Winning, all winning is so aggrieved, this is the mood of the Japanese commanders at all levels at this time.

However, aggrieved is only the beginning.

The worst is yet to come.

Although the Chinese who smeared the soles of their feet with oil did not leave any living things behind, they still left a lot of dead things in the city.

Not the stinking corpses of Japanese infantrymen left in the ruins.

. . . . . . . . . .
