Anti-Japanese blood sacrifice mountains and rivers

[Volume 1] Chapter 11: Chapter 4 Advance and retreat with certainty (2)

------------

It can be said that the battle situation is already in jeopardy for the Chinese army. Fighting under the range of the Japanese naval guns and basically losing air supremacy, the Japanese army's casualties are almost five to one. At some special support points, the casualties of ** even reached fifteen to one at one point, and the tragic degree of the battle can naturally be imagined.

Facing the menacing attack of the Japanese army, Chen Cheng only now deeply understands the true meaning of greater power comes greater responsibility!With Baoshan, Yuepu, and Huanzaobang frequently changing hands and falling, Luodian has become an absolute prominence in the strict sense. From a military point of view, since Baoshan has already fallen, it is imperative to abandon Luodian. OK.

But things in this world are not chosen according to people's subjective wishes, at least not in Luodian. Chairman Jiang who is in the rear demands to stick to it, stick to it, stick to it!Restore the position within a limited time!Anti-Japanese Blood Sacrifice Mountains and Rivers 11

It can be said that the battle for Luodian is always gripping the hearts of almost all frontline generals. Anyone with a little military knowledge knows that although Luodian is a small town by the river, with an area of ​​less than two square kilometers, it is an important place for people to get to the city. At the intersections and junctions of Baoshan, downtown Shanghai, Jiading and Songshan, and other key highways, if Luodian is lost, the whole situation will be shaken.So Chiang Kai-shek ordered several times: "The Luodian relationship is important, and it must be conquered within a time limit. All soldiers will advance but not retreat. There is no enemy but no self. If you fail, you will be benevolent."

In this regard, Chen Cheng has also vowed many times that the Ministry of Staff will ensure that the task is completed at all costs!Luodian is an important point. The Chinese know it, and the Japanese know it too. Especially after the fall of Baoshan and other places, Luodian is surrounded by enemies, and the worst thing is that Luodian is within the range of the Japanese Navy’s caliber naval guns, and The Japanese deployed a heavy artillery brigade to provide fire support nearby.

Often, as soon as the counter-offensive troops regained their position and expelled the Japanese army, they would immediately receive intensive projections from the Japanese army's powerful ground-to-air firepower, and were forced to withdraw before they could stand firm.Under the heavy casualties of the troops, Chen Cheng had no choice but to shift the focus of the contention between the two sides to the periphery of Luodian. You attack and defend, and you defend and attack. Good fortifications can be traced without a single shot. The groundwater level near Shanghai is high, and there is water without digging too deep. The officers and soldiers fought in the sewage all day long.

If Verdun in World War I was a meat grinder, Luodian in the Battle of Songhu was an out-and-out "flesh mill"!The corpses of the two sides in the war piled up like mountains, blood flowed like rivers, the whole town and its surrounding land were completely devoid of tiles, and the rest was only scorched earth. The cruelty was unbearable!It can be said to be an inch of mountains and rivers and an inch of blood!

But now Chen Cheng really can't hold on anymore. On average, Luodian consumes one division's troops a day, and the troops that go up are exhausted in one day. Division commanders, brigade commanders, and regimental commanders all have records of death and martyrdom. Now Chen Cheng With no reserve team in hand, the remnants of his No. 11 Shi Luodian bloody battle for three days have only been organized into a regiment, and then fill in this regiment?This is tantamount to a drop in the bucket, so Chen Cheng decided to report the situation in Luodian to the Nanjing side, explain the temporary retreat to the Chairman, shrink the troops and strengthen the deployment in depth to prepare for another battle. Make a big counterattack across the board!

Chen Cheng set his sights on the southwest of Luodian and the area around Shi Xianggong Temple on Luojia Highway. Chen Cheng tapped the map with his fingers and said to Luo Zhuoying and Xue Yue who had been waiting silently, "Take a look, I It is planned to abandon the position of Luodianzhu and switch to a mobile defense mode to carry out defensive operations around it. If the small Japanese army underestimates the enemy and breaks through, we can also encircle and wipe them out? Are the [-] highlands still under our control?"

Luo Zhuoying and Xue Yue, the two group army commanders, really don't know the exact location of the zero-five-seven highland that the former enemy commander-in-chief mentioned?Looking at Luo Zhuoying and Xue Yue who were at a loss and were searching on the map, Chen Cheng pointed with his finger: "It's here!"

After seeing it, Luo Zhuoying and Xue Yue looked at each other and said: "The troops started to move forward strategically according to the order at [-]:[-] in the afternoon. The [-] highland is outside our army's preset defense line. It is estimated that there is no one there at this moment. For some reason, the Japanese army concentrated a large number of heavy artillery this afternoon and started bombarding it at [-] o'clock in the evening, and there is no sign of stopping until now, and even if there are troops, they have all been reimbursed."

Chen Cheng straightened up from the map, and said in a deep and helpless voice: "If the 20 Highland is lost, then even if the No. To recover, the Japanese army sent troops to restore the position overnight after the artillery fire stopped, but you only have one night. If you cannot effectively restore the position, then our army can only passively retreat to the front line of Dachang and continue to block the enemy. The situation may become more complicated then.
