The 17th Infantry Brigade implemented the combat plan according to this plan: retreat from the direction of Luodian in a planned manner.

All the troops were concentrating in the direction of Wusongkou, and suddenly a new battle plan came out.

To the staff officers of the Central China Expeditionary Army Headquarters, changing orders from day to day is nothing more than pointing and drawing on a map.

Not much effort, not much trouble!

For these commanders who are actually fighting on the front line: every step needs to be soaked in the blood of soldiers.

Kanichiro Ueno now has this profound experience.

At this time, its two infantry regiments were desperately resisting the national soldiers who were surrounding them from all directions.

Although he didn't know what happened, the commander of the brigade Kanichiro Ueno knew clearly: something big must have happened outside.

Division Commander Susumu Fujita and the Central China Expeditionary Army Headquarters did not tell themselves the actual situation.

Overnight, the intensity of the national army's offensive increased more than tenfold.

Their cannons actually dared to be used openly.

This situation was unimaginable in the past: in the past, as soon as the national army's cannons fired, Japanese planes would immediately come over to bomb.

Or a Japanese field artillery regiment, under the guidance of high-altitude balloon observers, carried out accurate bombing against the National Army artillery.

Unfortunately, the 17th Infantry Brigade no longer had heavy artillery available; they called for aviation reinforcements, but received no response.

This was the first time that the brigade was bombarded by the heavy artillery of the National Army on the Songhu battlefield, but it was unable to fight back.

Not adaptable! Not adaptable at all!

The 17th Japanese infantry brigade, which was completely unsuited to defending under the heavy bombardment of the Chinese army, could only retreat.

They are going to retreat anyway, and retreat and retreat are both retreats, there is not much difference.

With this idea in mind, the brigade commander Kanichiro Ueno ordered the entire army to retreat quickly to the Wusongkou Fort.

When they retreated to a place not far from the Wusongkou Fort, they encountered dozens of Japanese soldiers who had retreated from the defeated Sixth Infantry Regiment.

Commander Tatsuharu Kuranagi is also here!

Its panicked look made captain Kanichiro Ueno look down upon him:

"It's not terrible to lose the battle! As an imperial general and infantry captain, you still have the temperament you should have.

I would rather die than forget my temperament!"

Captain Kuranaga Tatsuji couldn't care about anything at this time: these dozens of Japs had escaped being chased by tanks and thousands of national troops.

Being able to survive gave Captain Kuragatatsuji a dreamlike feeling.

This feeling made it directly ignore the contempt of the devils like the 17th Infantry Brigade.

Brigade commander Kanichiro Ueno gave Tatsuji Kuranaga a slap in the face: "Hakka! As the captain of the Imperial Alliance, how unbecoming is it to be so panicked!"

A slap in the face woke up Captain Cang Yongchenji. He quickly stood up and nodded: "Hai!"

Now it's finally back to normal: "Your Excellency, Brigade Commander! The Chinese army has tanks and artillery at Wusongkou Fort, and thousands of experienced soldiers are holding it.

The Third Field Artillery Regiment has been completely wiped out, and all forty-six aircraft of the First Aviation Squadron have crashed!

My Sixth Infantry Regiment only has less than a hundred people left."

"Eight grids!" Kanichiro Ueno finally understood why the aviation support it called did not come.

Thirty-five planes were lost the day before yesterday, and another 46 planes were lost today.

The Central China Expeditionary Force and the Navy only had a total of 320 aircraft, which was destroyed by a quarter.

It is understandable that the remaining planes should be careful.

However, Captain Cang Yongchen only looked at the problem from his own perspective: he believed that it was impossible to pass the Wusongkou Fort.

Brigade commander Ueno Kanichiro came here with his team.

How is it possible to go back?

Moreover, the 10th Infantry Brigade did not come here by themselves. They were brought here by the main divisions of the national army.

The commander of the brigade Kanichiro Ueno didn't want to hear more of what Kuranagi had to say, so he ordered: "Shut up! Don't disturb the morale of the army!"

The 17th Infantry Brigade was beaten all the way here by the Chinese army, and its morale and morale were extremely low.

If the Kuranaga Tatsuji Alliance is allowed to continue saying this, I'm afraid they will be disbanded immediately.

The fact that Captain Kuragatatsuji is not allowed to speak nonsense here does not mean that he is not allowed to speak.

In the temporary headquarters, there were only the chief of staff of the 17th Infantry Brigade, the deputy brigade commander and a few staff officers.

The brigade commander Ueno Kanichiro then said: "Kuranaga-kun! Now you can tell us in detail how we lost so miserably."

Saying this undoubtedly opened up the scars of Kurunaga Tatsuji, but now he doesn't care about that much.

Captain Cang Yongchenzhi obediently told what happened at Wusongkou.

…

Great victory at Wusongkou Fort!

When this news was reported to Baoshan County:

Commander Lu, Commander Yao, and Commander Li Zhipeng of the 213th Regiment of the Thirty-sixth Division were doing their best to deal with the Japanese Marines who had just landed.

Captain Kurimoto Santobu of the Fourth Special Marine Battalion of the Japanese Navy in Shanghai was shouting: "Kill in time!"

When setting out, it ambitiously wanted to show a sample to the red deer in the Army: How is a tough battle fought?

In order to attack Wusongkou Fort, Captain Li Benshan made no fewer than five plans.

The plan was very thorough, but it still didn't take into account the current situation:

The first naval aviation team will die before it can take off, and the ship transporting them will be sunk in the river.

Then all the heavy machine guns, mortars, and infantry artillery carried by the brigade sank to the bottom of the river.

Even the soldiers died a lot, but fortunately they were marines.

Swimming is a basic training subject, as long as the Japanese are not killed on the spot.

They can swim freely in the river and swim ashore.

Captain Kurimotoyama gathered the Japanese who came ashore, and there were probably more than 800 people left.

This is already a very strong team.

The Fifth Battalion led by Captain Shimamoto Yusuke also gathered the same number of Japanese.

The total number of Japanese in the two disembarkation brigades seemed to be 1,600 to 700;

Coupled with the troop carriers and gunboats, along with the escaping crew members, there were a total of two thousand people.

I have soldiers under my command, so I don't panic.

There is another regret: the location where they landed is a bit far from Wusongkou.

Just outside Baoshan County, Captain Kurimotozan and Captain Shimamoto Yusuke discussed and decided:

First capture Baoshan County, and then attack Wusongkou.

With such a plan in mind, Captain Kurimoto Sanzan immediately commanded the Koda Nosuke Squadron to attack Baoshan County.

Before yesterday, only Yao Ziqing's 3rd Battalion was guarding Baoshan County, and now the 213th Regiment of the 36th Division Li Zhipeng was added.

When the Japanese were struggling on the Yangtze River, you could see it very clearly from the north wall of Baoshan.
Chapter completed!
