Chapter 32: Attack on Huishan Wharf

() In the headquarters of the Ninth Army, Zhang Zhizhong, who had been busy until two o'clock in the morning and just lay down to rest for a while, was called out by his orderly at a little past five o'clock.During the war, it is good to have a little time to rest, especially a senior officer like Zhang Zhizhong, who is in charge of the entire army's war, and he doesn't even have time to go to the bathroom when he is busy.

At this time, Zhang Zhizhong dragged his exhausted body to the headquarters with the telegram in his hand, his eyes were fixed on the huge battle map in front of him, and he was frowning, as if he was thinking about something .

"When was the telegram sent?" After looking at the battle map for a while, Zhang Zhizhong seemed to be worried about something, and asked hastily.

"About 10 minutes ago." The orderly replied. The telegraph operator sent the telegram to him 10 minutes ago. Judging by the speed of translation, the telegram was received about 10 minutes ago.

"Immediately send a report to the du li regiment and ask them to retreat to the Zhabei position immediately." Before too much thought, Zhang Zhizhong directly issued an order for the du li regiment to retreat.

After the orderly responded, he hurried to the messenger and watched him send Zhang Zhizhong's telegram word by word.

In fact, Zhang Zhizhong had no choice but to let the du li regiment retreat. There was indeed only a brigade of the Japanese army in front of Zhabei, but behind the Japanese army on the opposite side of Zhabei, there was a regiment of troops. There are two regiments of the Japanese army, and the Japanese army is determined to eat the Huaxia defenders in Luodian in one go.

Otherwise, they would not have placed a division directly beside the Suzhou River. The intention of the Japanese army is also very simple and clear. After capturing Zhabei, the entire line of troops would immediately go northward and completely surround Luodian, making it difficult for the defenders there to fly. .

For Huaxia at this moment, the Luodian defenders cannot have any accidents. Once Luodian is lost, the entire war in Shanghai will basically go on.The loss of Luodian is tantamount to cutting off the retreat of the entire Chinese Shanghai army for the Japanese army, and it will be meaningless to continue to defend it.

And when Su Dao sent a telegram, Zhang Zhizhong felt that if the du li regiment was wiped out by the Japanese army, it would mean that Zhabei had already fallen into the hands of the Japanese army. Zhang Zhizhong did not dare to make such a major mistake.Zhabei at this time is no longer as simple as an ordinary Zhabei. Once Zhabei is lost, the entire 88th Division and the [-]th Army will suffer huge casualties.The most terrible thing is that Zhang Zhizhong doesn't have a unit that can be mobilized at this time, even if he plugs the loopholes, he can't stop it at this time.

"Commander, I can't contact the du li regiment, and their radio has never been turned on." After trying many times in succession, the telegram still failed to be sent smoothly, the orderly reported in frustration, and at the same time secretly scolded Su Dao in his heart It's too troublesome.

"What? No power on?" Zhang Zhizhong was taken aback for a moment, and then had the idea of ​​killing someone.Although Su Dao helped him get a batch of gas masks, Zhang Zhizhong was grateful to Su Dao from the bottom of his heart, but it didn't mean that he could let Su Dao do anything wrong. "Xiao He, you should go to Zhabei immediately and have Su Dao's du li regiment immediately withdraw to the Zhabei position."

"Yes, Commander." The orderly called Xiao He saluted, and immediately ran out in big strides.

"Wait, take my gun. If Su Dao refuses to carry out the order, he will be executed on the spot." Xiao He had just run two steps away when he was stopped by Zhang Zhizhong, and immediately threw his own gun to Xiao He.At this moment, he has no choice. If Zhabei is lost, the responsibility will be great, and it may even lead to the failure of this battle. Zhang Zhizhong does not take the risk.

Xiao He quickly ran out, aiming directly at Zhabei, the distance from Zhabei is not too far, and at Xiao He's speed, it is estimated that he can get there in about an hour.However, Zhang Zhizhong seemed to feel uneasy. Since Su Dao dared to launch a counterattack privately, he must be confident. Even if Xiao He took his gun, he might not be able to pull him back.

"Xiao Wu, send a report to Sun Yuanliang and ask him to send scouts to closely monitor the movements of Su Dao's regiment. Once Su Dao breaks through the Japanese army's second line of defense, the 88th Division will counterattack the Japanese army across the board. Send a report to Wang Jingjiu and order The 87th Division is in a state of preparation, and once the 88th Division launches a counterattack, the 87th Division will immediately support the 88th Division from the flanks. Send a report to Song Xilian, pay close attention to the battlefield dynamics, and keep the troops on standby at all times to prepare for the final counterattack." Immediately afterwards, Zhang Zhizhong issued a series of orders Order.

The du li regiment can be annihilated, but the Zhabei defense line cannot be lost. Although the best way at this time is to ignore the du li regiment, and it is enough to draw a regiment to replace the Zhabei defense line, but because of the appearance of the du li regiment, All the deployments of the Chinese and Japanese armies have already been disrupted. Once the du li regiment is wiped out, the Japanese army will definitely send a large number of troops to attack a little bit, in order to seek to break through the defensive positions.

The du li regiment has made a huge hole this time. The Ninth Army only has the strength of these three divisions, and Zhang Zhizhong can only command such a small force. Although it looks like a lot, it is flawed on the entire battlefield. Kind of small.In the end, after thinking twice, he decided to report the situation here to Nanjing. Although this battle seemed to be a collision, if it was successful, it was very likely that the Japanese army would be driven into the sea in one fell swoop.

It's just that this requires the cooperation of other friendly forces, and it's not something he can do with the Ninth Army alone.

About five kilometers northwest of Huishan Wharf, the soldiers of the du li regiment were wiping their weapons. Many soldiers felt a little disgusted by the first battle just now, and even many people couldn't stand the cruelty of the battlefield. In combat, those with severe symptoms even sat on the ground directly, and could no longer raise the steel gun in their hands for a short time.

Stabbing was originally the cruelest way of fighting, but before the du li regiment that used white phosphorous bombs, the soldiers couldn't even imagine the scene there, and they didn't even dare to recall it. They forced themselves not to think about the situation, or to think about something else. They would never forget that the burnt Japanese army was full of painful deaths.

"Tuan Zuo, the scouts are back. There are about two regiments of the Japanese army at Huishan Wharf, and there are several Japanese light warships in the dock. There are about two brigades of the Japanese army in Hongkou." Liu Sanpao lightly He ran to Su Dao's side and reported.

Su Dao took out the map and looked at it. Their current location was marked on it, which formed a triangle with Hongkou and Huishan Wharf. No matter which side Su Dao chose to attack, the enemy on the opposite side would quickly return to help.As for the Huaxia defenders on the opposite side, God knows if they dare to chase them out.

Su Dao tapped the battle map under him lightly with his fingers. About ten seconds later, Su Dao's fingers suddenly landed on the Huishan Wharf, and he said, "This is it!"

In fact, the choice of Su Dao at Huishan Wharf was seriously considered. The Japanese army at Huishan Wharf just landed from the Japanese mainland, and they haven't fully recovered at the moment. Otherwise, they would have rushed to the front line to support, and The Japanese army in the direction of Hongkou arrived in Shanghai three days ago. Compared with them, Su Dao preferred to fight the large number of Japanese troops that had just arrived in Shanghai.It's just that Su Dao feels that it's too boring to fight against troops with few people, and it's a bit of a waste of the equipment he exchanged.

"Tuan Zuo, think twice, although the Japanese army at Huishan Wharf is a Japanese army that just came from Japan, it hasn't fully adapted to the environment here, but there are two regiments there, with nearly 8000 people, and there are also warships. For the support of the artillery, more than 3000 of us have passed by, I am afraid it is not enough for people to plug their teeth." Liu Sanpao took a deep breath in his heart, this Su Dao is too troublesome, more than 3000 people rushed to meet the Eight Thousand Japanese Army Head-to-head.

"Wars are fought with brains, not strength. In the Battle of Chibi, Zhou Yu was able to defeat Cao Cao's 20 soldiers with 8000 soldiers. Why can't we defeat the [-] Japanese army with [-] soldiers? Are we not as good as the ancients? "
