Beacon starts from the departure of a strong man

Chapter 286 Breakthrough
In the headquarters of the seventh theater!

A huge map was hung on the wall.

It is marked with red and blue arrows. At present, the Sichuan Army is defending in the seventh theater.

It's also marked on the map!
During the meeting.

Chen Cixiu decided that each department in the seventh theater should deploy troops step by step to block the enemy one by one.

At the same time, it must be prepared to accept the troops withdrawn from the seventh theater.

According to the withdrawal order of Jinling High Command.

The defenders in the Songhu area and the combat army group on the left must cover the retreat of the combat army group on the right.

Therefore, the left-wing combat army group in the Songhu area must first stick to its position and wait for the right-wing combat army group to withdraw.

Only then can they retreat!

Liu Jianxu's Tenth Army, and Zhang Fakui's Eighth Army.

Evacuate to Qingpu and Baihe Port in the southwest direction of Taihu Lake.

When the troops withdrew, they also took alternate cover.

Which army goes first, which army goes behind, which army covers.

This series of orders was also issued by the Jinling High Command, and the notification was sent to the various troops.

The 23rd Army of the Sichuan Army is in the west and south of Taihu Lake, and its operations are favorable.

The offensive of the Tenth Army was seriously slowed down by the Sichuan Army, the important town of Songjiang, and the front line of Baihe Port in Qingpu.

There has not yet been a large group of Japanese troops.

The 18rd Brigade under the No.23 Division is still fighting fiercely with the defensive forces in the Pudong area.

This also made it impossible for the more than [-] troops to evacuate on the Songhu battlefield to flee in a swarm of chaos as in the original time and space.

In the left-wing combat army, Chen Cixiu also gave Luo Zhuoying and Xue Huhu the death order.

Be sure to block the 16th Division and cover the withdrawal of the right-wing combat army group.

and!

This time the troops from Songhu withdrew in an orderly manner with alternate cover.

Most of the roads and railways have not been lost, and the withdrawal speed of troops is very fast.

Songjiang Town!
The 67th Army, 61st Division of the Northeast Army, and the 43rd Army of the Sichuan Army successfully blocked the 23rd Brigade for three days.

In order to cover the evacuation of troops in the Songhu area, precious time was won.

According to the latest telegram from the Jinling High Command.

The 43rd Army of the Sichuan Army was withdrawn to the seventh theater, and the 61st Division was withdrawn to Wuxi by train.

Wu Keren's 67th Army, as a covering force, blocked the attack of the 23rd Brigade.

After the above two troops withdrew, the 67th Army immediately broke through and withdrew to the seventh theater.

After the 67th Army received the order!

Resolutely implemented, Wu Keren also issued a death order to the entire army.

Without his order, anyone who retreats without his permission and abandons his position will be killed without mercy.

that's it!
The 67th Army and the 23rd Brigade of the Japanese Army fought all day.

The battle between the two sides was so fierce that the casualties of the Japanese army and the 67th Army were relatively large.

By night.

The 67st Army Headquarters.

Wu Keren issued a retreat order to the entire army.

The 23rd Brigade Headquarters, Major General Ono Kameo, was looking at the map in his headquarters.

He is very sad now!
That was Songjiang Town, the troops he led were stubbornly resisted by the Republic of China army.

The resistance was fierce, and his troops were blocked here for three days.

Even Commander Hirasuke Yanagawa began to be dissatisfied with Kameo Ono.

"idiot!"

Ono Kameo punched Songjiang Town hard, and he planned to ask the Imperial Navy to provide fire assistance tomorrow.

The town of Songjiang should be completely blown into ruins, so that the army of the Republic of China inside could not hide at all.

And at this time.

The captain of the 55th Regiment, Deputy Chief Changde, quickly came to the brigade headquarters.

"Report to the head of the brigade!"

"Received a report from the frontline sentry."

"The Republic of China army in the city seems to be secretly breaking through."

"They're building a pontoon."

As the 61st Division and the 43rd Army withdrew, Songjiang Town's defense line began to shrink.

The 23rd Brigade also took the opportunity to move forward and occupied many areas.

The 67th Army is withdrawing now, and it is definitely not as good as the previous 61st Division and 43rd Army.

"well!"

Ono Kameo raised the corner of his mouth, revealing a playful arc.

There was a gloomy light in his eyes: "It seems!"

"Under the powerful offensive of the imperial army."

"The defenders in the city can't hold on anymore."

"I want to escape in the dark."

"Order!"

Chief Noble Changdeok immediately stood at attention.

"The 55th Wing, the 56th Wing, the [-]st Wing of the Reserve Supplementary Brigade."

"There are also two brigades of the Jing'an Army. Concentrate all artillery fire on me immediately."

"Block the direction of the defenders in the city to break through, and blow up the pontoon bridge they erected."

"at the same time!"

"Ground troops, strengthen my attack, and we must prevent the enemy from breaking through."

"Hi!" Colonel Ye Changde nodded.

follow closely!

The artillery fire of the three regiments, plus the artillery regiment of the Jing'an Army of the two brigades.

A carpet bombing was carried out in the direction of the 67th Army's breakout.

"Boom boom boom!!—"

Powerful artillery fire, like a volcanic eruption, continued to fall on the head of the 67th Army.

The pontoon bridge that the 67th Army had just erected was also under the torrential artillery fire.

It broke in an instant, and many soldiers who erected the pontoon bridge were also killed by the devil's artillery fire.

In the city!

67st Army Command.

Everyone saw that the artillery fire of the Japanese army was so intense.

Many officers were also shocked.

Immediately afterwards, the signal soldiers of the 67th Army came to Wu Keren.

"Commander!"

"Received a message from the frontline troops."

"The little devil stepped up his attack."

Wu Keren put down the telegram, "Everyone!"

"It seems that our breakout plan has been discovered by the devil."

"but!"

"Anyway."

"We're all going to break through."

"Our troops, since entering the pass."

"The common people have been scolding us all the time. After the battle in Pingjin area, the common people's understanding of us has changed."

"Sooner or later, we will call back to our hometown."

"So, tonight, the 67th Army must tear through the devil's line of defense."

"Everyone, come with me, take up your weapons, and kill the little devil."

"Break out, fight back to your hometown!"

As Wu Keren's words fell, all the officers in the 67th Army headquarters took up weapons.

The 23rd Brigade launched a fierce attack in order to annihilate the defenders in the city.

In order to break out of the siege, the 67th Army also fought fiercely with the little devils.

In an instant, this battle entered a white-hot state.

The artillery unit of the 67th Army, covering the engineers to erect the pontoon bridge.

Now they are all open to fire, Liao made 75mm mountain guns and 105mm howitzers.

The mortars of the regiment's troops are now all fighting back against the devils.

There was a massive artillery battle between the two sides.

Under the cover of artillery, the pontoon bridge of the 67th Army was finally erected.

After Wu Keren learned that the pontoon bridge was erected, he immediately ordered the troops to start alternately covering the withdrawal.

After the troops of the 67th Army withdrew a division, Wu Keren's guard company let him cross the river first.

However, Wu Keren insisted on waiting for the troops to withdraw another division before crossing the river.

Now, Lao Wu wants to tell everyone that I, as the commander of the 67th Army, have not withdrawn yet.

I am here waiting for you.

And this time, it was the little devil's vanguard who discovered General Wu Keren.

Because, the general uniform on his body is too conspicuous.

follow closely!

The little devil is calling for your artillery support.

"Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

After the sound of sharp airflow came from the sky.

Three mortar shells exploded right beside Wu Keren.

In an instant, Wu Keren fell down.

"Commander..."

"Commander..."

Seeing this scene, the soldiers of the 67th Army shouted.

　It's too painful. The previous chapters are being blocked and revised, but they haven't been rescued yet.
