"What? You mean Liu Peixu is dead?"
The chairman seemed to have thought of something. Because the monkey cub died just after he arrived at the 40th Division Liu Peixu. Is this a coincidence?
At this time, Secretary-General Yang also said: "Commissioner, I think so too. This monkey cub is too bold. That Liu Peixu is a division commander no matter what, he said he would kill him, so he killed him? This trend cannot last long. Otherwise, in the future, all high-ranking officers will be in danger."
"kindness!"
The chairman nodded, but said: "That Liu Peixu is not a good person. I don't like him. This person is a domestic slave with the third surname. If you have milk, you will be your mother. He graduated from Baoding Military Academy and changed How many masters are there?”
Secretary-General Yang asked: "What does the appointment mean?"
The chairman sneered and said: "Don't you think it's strange? If that monkey boy really killed Liu Peixu, then why didn't the 40th Division get into chaos? So this monkey boy is really capable.
Right now, I am missing such a person. He can make a scene, cause trouble, but he can also fight.
Have you ever heard the saying, the more noisy a child is, the more capable he will be when he grows up. Those high-achieving students who were honest and responsible did not have much future in the end. "
Secretary-General Yang smiled apologetically and said, "Commissioner, are there all such top students around you?"
The chairman said helplessly: "What can I do? People's words are terrible. If I don't use them, they will say that I don't know how to employ people. I left so many talented students without using them and chose some weak-minded people. They will say that I am an old fool. .
So sometimes, you just do it knowing you can't do it.
But look at them, apart from sticking to the rules or doing what they are told, what surprises can they bring to me?
There are even some people who are still eating inside and outside. They always think I don't know. It's just not time for me to touch them yet.
Keep an eye on this little monkey. It would be best to find an opportunity to examine his political leanings.
This little monkey is a double-edged sword, and when used properly, he is invincible. If we use it improperly, it will sound the death knell for ourselves. "
"Yes, I will definitely keep an eye on him."
Secretary-General Yang bowed and replied, and then continued to talk to the Chairman about the Wu Fu Line.
The conversation between two people is just like a daily chat. Not even the slightest bit nervous.
After all, the Wu-Fu line is still far away from Nanjing. If the Japanese want to fight over, it cannot be done in a day or two.
What's more, the chairman has already planned to move the capital. He wants to use space to fight a protracted war with the Japanese army.
···············
At the same time, the fighting on the periphery of the Wu-Fu line continued, with both the enemy and ourselves suffering heavy casualties.
The 109th Division on the left wing has been trapped by the Japanese army. The officers and soldiers of the 109th Division would rather die than surrender and launched a fierce hand-to-hand battle with the Japanese invaders.
The leader of the 653 regiment, Gao Muyun, and the battalion commander Yao Yuqing were injured. The leader of the 650 regiment, Jiang Kuiju, was killed in the battle. There were no casualties among the mid-level cadres. Fierce fighting continued across the entire line until 15:30 in the afternoon. The Japanese army approached Jiashan Station and bombarded the Jiashan city wall with artillery fire.
At this time, all the defenders' reserves were exhausted. They persisted until 18:00 in the evening and began to retreat to the Qixing Bridge in the west. On the morning of the 15th, the 18th Division completely occupied Jiashan.
Although Jiashan eventually fell, at a distance of less than ten kilometers from Fengjing to Jiashan, the defenders continued to fight tenaciously against the enemy with inferior strength and defense fortifications.
At the same time, the Eighty-seventh Division, the Eighty-eighth Division, and the Thirty-sixth Division began to shrink their defense lines at ten o'clock in the evening.
Logically speaking, several main divisions should have withdrawn from the Kunming branch line on the evening of the 13th.
However, due to a false order from Dragon Boat Festival, the three divisions were ordered to hold on until the evening of the 14th and retreat to the main position of Pingjia.
However, why does Dragon Boat Festival do this?
He didn't want to show off his bravery.
First, the 40th Division's defense line along the river can effectively block the enemy's Sixth Division and Eleventh Division, and consume the enemy to the maximum extent.
The main divisions such as the Eighty-eighth Division and the Eightyth Qi Division were completely defeated only because of the defeat of the 40th Division.
Therefore, the Dragon Boat Festival was determined not because the Eighty-eighth Division, the Eighty-seventh Division and others could not hold on, but because of Liu Peixu's incompetence and greed for life and fear of death.
So, Duanwu and his men went straight to Liu Peixu, and conveyed his false order with the help of Liu Peixu's mouth.
Secondly, the Dragon Boat Festival order for each division to hold on for one day also plays an important role. It is to buy time for the main force to set up defenses.
Due to the hasty retreat and the original fortifications on the Wu-Fu Line, relatively few main troops participated in the construction. For many fortifications, either the keys could not be found, the doors could not be opened, or the deployment plans could not be found at all.
And many defense fortifications need to be constructed in series according to national defense drawings on the original basis. This all takes time.
So don't underestimate this one day. In this one day, the main force can do a lot.
In addition, with the help of the geographical location and fortifications, each unit killed a large number of enemy troops, and the impact it had on the enemy's morale and offensive, this day's time was very worthwhile.
Of course, if Duanwu was allowed to direct this battle, this battle would never be so miserable.
First of all, there is not a single Japanese Marine Corps left in Shanghai.
There should be no hesitation in fighting a war. Now that you have decided to take action, don't think about peace talks. If you don't have the courage to fight this battle, then you will be like a turtle with its head shrinking.
It is a stupid idea to still want to fight and wait for peace talks with the other party. Not to mention missed opportunities, and many people will be killed. And especially military personnel.
At that time, many patriotic soldiers died because of their ambiguous attitude towards Japan. And the command was a mess.
Perhaps many people have never thought about fighting this battle. All troops were mobilized temporarily without any military objectives.
And after the Battle of Songhu began, there was no full-scale war against Japan. As a result, Japan can increase its troops unlimitedly without any restraint.
Therefore, it is not without reason that the Battle of Songhu was so fierce.
The same goes for the Wu Fu Line. Defense fortifications were originally built to deal with the Japanese.
But once the war started, the utilization rate was extremely poor. The security guard who opened the door and took the fortification map ran away. The main force, which was unfamiliar with fortifications, could not find where the fortifications were.
What's even more ridiculous is that some people enriched their own pockets and turned the graves into national defense fortifications. After digging it open, we saw the coffin inside.
But the most annoying thing is that all the defense fortifications are semi-finished products, and the defenders have to dig communication trenches when they arrive at the position.
All of this can be said to be dumbfounding.
Faced with such a battle situation, Dragon Boat Festival can only minimize the losses on the Wu-Fu line and kill the enemy to the maximum extent.
What can he do? Being able to stabilize the troops on all fronts for one more day was his limit.
With weapons and ammunition in short supply, he couldn't use the flesh and blood of the soldiers in front to block the enemy's gun holes, right?
So at ten o'clock in the evening, Duanwu also ordered the 40th Division to prepare to retreat and transfer to Changshan County according to the original plan.
Changshan County and Xiejiaqiao are at opposite ends of each other, so there is a reason why the Dragon Boat Festival was chosen here.
Xiejiaqiao is located between Changshu and Fushan Town, and its strategic location is very important.
Fushan and Changshu are important defense towns, and their defenses are extremely strong. I'm afraid it won't be that easy to defeat the little devil.
Therefore, when the Japanese army encountered obstacles in the Fushan and Changshu areas, they would inevitably take Xiejiaqiao.
Only the 48th Army's special agent battalion was stationed at Xiejiaqiao.
A mere battalion cannot defend Xiejiaqiao.
Therefore, Duanwu ordered the 40th Division to retreat to the Changshan area, act as an ambush, and surprise the Japanese 103rd Brigade!
