Rise from eight hundred.

Chapter 549: One word awakens the dreamer!

In November, it is already early winter, but the temperature in Jiangnan is not low, especially when the sun rises during the day.

The sun at 9 o'clock shone on the body, dispelling the cold air in the morning, and even making people feel a little warm.

However, walking alone in the somewhat mottled trench fortifications that had been ravaged by artillery fire and bullets, Lieutenant General Ushishima Sadao, the supreme Japanese commander on the front line in Jiashan, only felt chills all over his body.

A small cold wind blew, and he even subconsciously wrapped his woolen army coat tightly.

Ushishima Sadao walked very slowly, judging from his pace, he looked like a king inspecting his own territory.

If you don't look at his somewhat bleak back.

Yes, the assistant officer-level staff officers of the 18th Division and Regiment Headquarters took the initiative to follow the Lieutenant General and Commander-in-Chief of the Division, whose back was so desolate that he was even a little hunched, more than ten meters away.

No one dares to approach.

Because, the bleak 'king' is very angry at this time, furious, furious!
Loneliness is the best medicine to calm anger.

Although he has already set foot on this line of defense that he led the army to attack for nearly ten days, with more than [-] imperial infantry casualties, he dreamed of setting foot on the line of defense.

However, this is what the Chinese voluntarily gave up, and it was thrown to him like a big piece of garbage.

And he, the supreme commander of the Japanese army in the Jiashan area, is like a scavenger, but there is nothing left in the empty trenches and those permanent reinforced concrete fortifications every 200 meters.

Picking up junk, all picking up a loneliness.

The Chinese ran, taking advantage of the cover of night, faster than rabbits.

There has been news from the navy, let alone the army, even if the navy fighter formation rushes over now, they won't be able to eat a warm meal.

This means that he just planned to be honest yesterday, and the idea of ​​waiting for the Kunizaki detachment to arrive so that he can wipe out his opponent in one pot has failed again.

The escape of the Chinese to Jiaxing, which is more than 20 kilometers away, is actually not the most painful thing for Ushishima Sadao. It has already become the hunting ground of the empire, and the Chinese army he faces is at best a rabbit in the hunting ground. No matter how he escapes, he will still be his prey.

However, since the Battle of Songjiang, no matter whether it is holding on, giving up, or escaping, the unexpected tactics of the Chinese commander time and time again seem to have the upper hand. Cows, being led by the nose, this is a situation he rarely encountered in his decades of military career.

Just like now, when the Chinese run away, he will lead an army to chase after him.

But the Chinese still have a defense line that has been built for two years. How long will they resist there?

Do you continue to turn around and run?Still can't resist and run again?Or like this time, he ran away without warning?
Ushijima Sadao couldn't grasp the psychology of the Chinese commander at all.

This may be the main reason why the lieutenant general of the Japanese army who was walking alone in the trench that already belonged to him felt cold all over his body.

Like Ushijima Sadao, the Japanese infantry had already crossed the line of defense that had blocked them for nearly ten days, but they did not raise their guns and shout "the empire is victorious" every time they captured a Chinese position as usual.

Instead, the vast majority of people had dejected expressions on their faces.

Because, that means, they have to run wildly on the extremely muddy land in the south of China, driven by the officers, and then meet the guns fired by the Chinese.

Even if you want to die, you have to be exhausted first!In the words of the Chinese: You must not die well!

Damn Chinese!I don't know how many Japanese infantrymen cursed secretly in their hearts when they thought of the tens of kilometers they were about to face and marched in full armor.

Aggrieved, aggrieved, this is the most real feeling of the No.18 Division that occupied the Jiashan defense line.

I don't know how long it took, Ushishima Sadao finally stopped and ordered coldly: "Order, the 36th Infantry Brigade will immediately move towards Jiaxing. Before [-] pm, it must arrive in front of the Chinese defense line, and send scouts to After the Chinese defense line, we made roundabout reconnaissance and reported the reconnaissance information to our division and regiment headquarters in time.

The whole army of my No.18 division set off at [-]:[-] in the morning, and the infantry regiments arrived at the location, and then the division headquarters would be issued to them.This time, the Chinese must be dragged in Jiaxing and wiped out. "

"Hi!" The staff officers who did not dare to disturb the Japanese lieutenant general from a dozen meters away bowed their heads.

After all, Ushijima Sadao chose the safest plan and chased after him with all his military ranks. With the unlucky boy 36th Infantry Brigade as the vanguard and the army of the [-]th Division as the rear team, he marched towards Jiaxing.

Only this time, he learned the lesson of the Chinese army running quietly in the dark on Jiashan's defense line, and ordered the 36th Infantry Brigade to send a large number of scouting soldiers to the rear of Jiaxing. 'The idea, the army will launch an attack immediately, even if the main force of the Chinese cannot be retained for a while, at least they can eat their broken troops, so that the whole army will not step over the opponent's defense line in great frustration like now, but have no roots Mao did not see it.

As for how Masanori Tanigawa, who received the military order, has a dog mentality at the moment, how can Ushishima Sadao have the leisure to take care of him?

He likes to scold and scold, as long as he doesn't rush to his division headquarters to point his nose and scold. Anyway, he has made up his mind to use the idiots of the "strongest division on the surface" as cannon fodder. The more they consume, the more they spend. The future tactical position of the No.18 Division will be more stable.

After the war, will someone blame this matter?Come on!Now this level is sad, Ushishima Sadao can still think so far, he is already 60 people, the dead ghosts of the "strongest division on the surface" want to gnaw his bird, probably can't gnaw it, it's gone!

On the Japanese side, facing the empty Chinese defense line, they put on a mother-like expression, tightened their straps, put on big-toed leather boots, and embarked on the pursuit journey.

And the Chinese side, who had successfully arrived at Jiaxing's defense line after running wildly overnight, happily celebrated their successful escape without saying anything.

The officers and soldiers naturally knew that there were more than 20 Japanese soldiers rushing here [-] kilometers away, but they couldn't go anymore, not only because their physical strength had been exhausted and they needed to be recuperated, but because during the day, once they left this road If the line of defense is strong, the Japanese bomber fleet will attack them viciously without hesitation.

This is not like Baihe Port where there is an advance regiment as a bait, the whole army can hide in the mountainous area, but the advance regiment has only 3000 people, and it has enough anti-aircraft weapons and fighter planes to catch the Japanese army by surprise. The army escaped to death smoothly.

There are many paddy fields in Jiashan and Jiaxing. Let alone walking in the paddy fields with all kinds of equipment, even a single soldier walks extremely slowly. If you want to go fast, you have to take the simple road, which will definitely become the target of the Japanese fighter planes.

If you want to go, you can only go at night.

But will the Japanese give them a chance this time?Unless the Japanese are stupid enough to fall in the pit once, they will fall in the same pit again, smashing their heads into tofu.

The chances of this are obviously not great.

As soon as each infantry regiment arrived, it first sent its own special agent company to deploy clear and dark sentries five or six kilometers behind its own defense zone, just to prevent Japanese troops from infiltrating.

But for these colonels and officers, they also know that it is difficult to prevent the infiltration of small units sent by the Japanese army. In order to prevent them from slipping away again, the Japanese may send an infantry squad-level special agent team like the battle in Baihe Port .

In the Battle of Songjiang, if Lei Xiong hadn't led his troops to defend the Baihegang Bridge, their retreat would have been cut off by the more than 400 special agents sent by the Japanese in disguise.

Thinking that the Japanese army dared to send infiltration troops more than 40 kilometers behind the front line, the school officers felt chills in their backs. If it were them, they would not dare to be so bold.

But the Japanese did just that, so who knows if they will do it again this time?I'm afraid there is a 90.00% chance they will.

In fact, this is exactly the case. As soon as the 36th Infantry Brigade arrived at the assembly point, it sent 4 task forces of up to 60 people to Jiaxing. Their purpose was not to destroy and harass, but to observe the movements of the main force of the Chinese side.

For the temporary headquarters composed of two armies and one division, the pressure is even greater. The three lieutenant generals not only have to bear the lives of more than [-] people, but also have to face the censure from the theater command.

After arriving at the Jiaxing defense line, the three lieutenant generals sent a telegram to the theater headquarters to report that the entire Jiashan army had retreated to the Jiaxing defense line.

Not to mention the tactical retreat of more than 20 kilometers in the direction of the Xicheng line, the remaining army of more than [-] did not resist for more than three days before the entire army retreated. None of the infantry could be gathered, and in the end only the division headquarters and the special agent battalion directly under the division headquarters ran tens of kilometers away.

The heavy equipment originally brought out because of Songjiang's four days and nights of evacuation in an orderly manner was completely lost in this battle, completely losing its combat effectiveness.

Relatively speaking, although the three infantry divisions and one incomplete infantry corps on Jiashan's defense line also gave up the defense line, they did not lose much of their heavy equipment, and their organizational system was still intact.

Moreover, the Theater Command also reported that a Japanese army was marching from the direction of Taihu Lake, and it was very likely that it was coming to Jiashan and Jiaxing. The three lieutenant generals thought that the Theater Command would not launch an attack on this.

Unexpectedly, the call back from the theater command was unprecedentedly intense, and there were even signs of asking for punishment, as if the response to requests and the wanton distribution of rewards in the past few days did not exist.

"This battle can't be won, motherfucker, others can run away if you dare, but I can't! I want to kill someone's head, okay! I'm waiting for them in Jiaxing, these sons of bitches, to see if they have any Do you have the guts to do this?" The fiery bearded lieutenant general was furious.

"It's really chilling!" Lieutenant General Guo slapped the simple marching table with cold eyes. "Could it be that the [-] soldiers of our army just watched the Japanese army outflank our rear, and then the whole army died in battle, so that they followed the wishes of those officials and gentlemen, and finally gave me a national flag to cover my body as a sign of comfort. ?”

Compared to the two colleagues who were filled with righteous indignation, Lieutenant General Wu, who was the supreme commander, kept silent and kept looking out the window with his hands behind his back.

After a long time, he turned his head, sighed slightly with a dignified expression: "This time our army moved thousands of miles to the southeast, and Wu came here with the intention of dying for the country and the people. There are soldiers of our 67th Army everywhere in Songjiang, Baihegang, and Jiashan. The figure of the bloody battle with the Japanese invaders, this is a national war, and our Chinese armies should abandon the previous suspicions and go to the national calamity together. Unexpectedly, some people are narrow-minded. At this time, they still remember the old hatred. It was me, Wu, who implicated the two Yes, sorry!"

Guo and Gu made a collective slip of the tongue.

Whether it is a hot-tempered person or a calm and calm personality, everyone knows who this person is talking about.

The big incident a year ago almost killed that person. Although it was resolved perfectly under the slogan of "All People Resist Japan" in the end, that person was under house arrest who personally escorted his brother back to Jinling , has proved his mind.

It is also a matter of course to make a big fuss about it.

"Commander, no matter what you decide, my 128th Division will advance and retreat with you! At worst, I just leave my good head here in Jiaxing." The bearded lieutenant general first stated his position.

"Guo, attach yourself to Jiwei!" General Guo expressed his position with a calm expression.

Both of them are generals of an army, so of course they would not make such a decision rashly. Thousands of lives are at stake behind them, so it is destined not to be decided by personal emotions.

The reason why they clearly stated their position is that one of them naturally has the feeling of fighting side by side for several days, but more is determined by the current battle situation.

嘉兴防线上2万余大军，67军两个步兵师就占了一万五千余人，剩余的才是128师和加上新成立的独立营才不过2000 people的43军。

Once the 67th Army felt that they were being treated unfairly because of this guy, they ran away. Those with bare feet are not afraid of wearing shoes, but the two of them are still wearing shoes, so what's the matter?
It's better to be tied together tightly, even if the headquarters really issued a death order to let their entire army die here, it can also teach the Japanese army a harsh lesson, and at least it can be remembered in history.

Needless to say, Lieutenant General Guo is well-known in the Sichuan Army for his sharp eyesight, and even the bearded Lieutenant General who usually goes straight and does not make a turn, has his finesse.

"Hey! Brother Guo, Brother Gu, you don't have to be too pessimistic! This harsh telegram is not necessarily a bad thing, it might be a turning point for our entire army!" Lieutenant General Wu smiled slightly, and lightly held the telegram in his hand. dropped on the table.

"I, Mr. Wu, and the 67th Army are now motherless children and no one cares about them, but you both have backers behind you. At this time, no matter how harsh that person thinks about my 67th Army, he will not and cannot put you two together." The big backer behind him pushes him far away, but he hasn't reached the point where he can cover the sky with one hand."

A word to wake up the dreamer!
