"Your Excellency, Division Commander, Your Excellency, Division Commander, something bad is going on. The Takata Wing lost contact after sending the last telegram ten minutes ago. No one answered the radio, no one answered the radio!" The communications soldier ran to Ogi Zhou Libing reported with a panic look on his face.
"Souga, it seems that the rescue of the Sendai United Army is still a step late. Now I will personally apologize to General Matsui Iwane! However, tonight's battle cannot end like this. First, we must hold back the Takata United Army, and then Then cut off the reinforcement positions, blow up our artillery positions, and finally turn around to annihilate the remnants of our 58th Regiment. And they also want to take back the battlefield while we send the main reinforcements. I have to say that our enemies, It is indeed not simple..." As he said that, Ogisu Tatehe closed his eyes that were no longer bright at this time, and sighed softly: "Nobuda Yao-kun, Shinoda Mizusaburo-kun , rest in peace, as your superior, I, the Ogisu Rippei, will not just let go of the group of Chinese people on the other side."
"Telegraph General Matsui, saying that our Thirteenth Division encountered a large-scale counterattack by the Central Army of China late tonight. The entire fifty-eighth regiment of our division was shattered. The artillery regiment position was attacked. The regiment commander Shinoda Yao was shattered. , our division has suffered heavy casualties, please send troops for support!" Ogisu Ripei ordered the communications soldier next to him.
"Hai!" the signal soldier responded.
"Oda-kun, the situation is very critical now. Our division has lost two powerful regiments. We must continue to fight this battle. Otherwise, the reputation of our Thirteenth Division will be completely lost..." At this time The arrogant Ogisu Rihei looked a little weak, as if he had aged ten years. Indeed, this battle gave him a blow since he landed. Overnight, he lost two regiments just because of his gambling mentality and luck...
As the saying goes, some people are happy and some are sad. While the Japanese army was looking sad, the headquarters of the 36th Division of the National Army was enjoying themselves. As the saying goes, after winning the battle, nothing else matters, unless the circumstances are too serious.
Ordinarily, the behavior of Zhang Tianhai, Hu Jiaji, Fang Ren and others can be said to be very serious in terms of circumstances. However, being outside the law is nothing more than human kindness. Song Xilian has served under Hu Jiaji, Zhang Tianhai and others for many years, and it is indeed rare. A strong player, so this time he has to take it lightly.
I saw Song Xilian saying with a serious face: "Hu Jiaji, Fang Ren, Zhang Tianhai, you indeed fought a very beautiful victory this time. You took down a regiment and defeated the Japanese artillery regiment. It is indeed A great achievement. But you mobilized troops to attack the enemy without asking for permission, and according to the level of fighting caused, it would not be too much for me to shoot you. But now is the national war period, and we need people this time. Let your head rest on your own neck first. Never again!"
As soon as they heard "It won't happen again", the three people on the field finally breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, they won the battle. If they had lost money, no matter how much they loved the master, they would have killed them. Okay, let's use military law...
…
Japanese Third Fleet, flagship Izumo armored cruiser.
Matsui Iwane's Shanghai Expeditionary Force headquarters is located here. The lights in the ship are brightly lit. Matsui Iwane, who has just put on his military uniform, strode into the headquarters. It was already his rest time, but a sudden change came from Oba Town. The news woke him up. If he didn't get up and make strategic arrangements, Dachang Town was likely to return to the control of the Chinese army again.
"Your Excellency, General, there is an urgent message from the commander of the 13th Division Ogisu Rippei Division!" A Lieutenant Colonel on duty reported to Matsui Iwane.
Matsui Iwane was not tall, but he was very strong. He took a deep breath and said, "Nian."
"Hai!" the officer on duty responded and read aloud: "General Matsui, the humble Ogisu Rippei has lived up to the general's high expectations. At 1 o'clock in the morning tonight, our 13th Division was attacked by a large-scale night attack by the Central China Army and suffered heavy losses. The entire fifty-eighth regiment was shattered! The artillery regiment also suffered more than half of its casualties, and all thirty-six field guns were destroyed. The commander of the regiment, Colonel Nobuda Yao, was martyred for his country. The incompetence in humble combat caused the empire to lose two regiments. Please punish the general! The commander of the 13th Division, Ogisu Ripei, called at 4:35 on October 27th!"
"Souga, is this all? There is an old saying among Chinese people, 'Victory or defeat is a matter of military strategism.' This Ogizhou Libing is too sensitive. No matter how heavy the losses are, can they be as heavy as the troops who landed at Wusongkou and Shizilin?" There's so much fuss, but there can't be any surprises in Oba Town. Oba Town is the center of the last line of defense for the Chinese army. As long as Oba Town is not lost, everything is easy to say." At the level of Matsui Iwane, Ogisu Li will not deal with everything. Soldiers are just a matter of words from him, but his purpose at this time is not to deal with them for the sake of dealing with them. His ultimate goal is to capture Shanghai as quickly as possible and then fight to Nanjing!
The people next to him didn't dare to interrupt. After all, he was the boss of the Shanghai Expeditionary Army, with the rank of general. This was not a position that ordinary people could reach.
Seeing that no one answered his words, Matsui Iwane waved his hand and said: "That's all, call back to the commander of the Ogisu Division and order him that no matter what happens, Dachang Town will not tolerate any losses. If Dachang Town suffers from losses, it will be punished." Ask him to commit suicide to thank the Emperor. In addition, tell him that troops will take over Dachang Town at noon tomorrow, and ask him to withdraw to Jiangwan Town for repairs and replenishment, so as to form combat effectiveness as soon as possible!"
"Hai!" the officer on duty responded.
After giving the order, Matsui Iwane walked to the military map and murmured: "The Sixteenth Division is still on the way. Where will the Tenth Army land? Hangzhou Bay? Or Baoshan? Lion Grove?"
That's right, two days ago, he received a telegram from the Chief of Staff, Prince Kanin Miyazaihito: The order of battle for the 16th Division to join the Shanghai Expeditionary Force will be commanded by General Matsui Iwane. In addition, the 6th and 6th Division will be commanded by General Matsui Iwane. 18. The 114th Division and the Kunisaki Detachment formed the Tenth Army. Lieutenant General Yanagawa Heisuke served as the commander of the Tenth Army. At the same time, the Tenth Army was incorporated into the Shanghai Expeditionary Army. The Shanghai Expeditionary Army was officially reorganized into the China Expeditionary Army. You continue to serve as the commander of the front army!
This is Matsui Iwane's confidence. The previous troops were too small, which made the Songhu battlefield very difficult. But now it is different. There is the 10th Army plus a 16th Division, four divisions plus a detachment. This is A total of 140,000 troops...
This is the comparison of strength. The addition of 140,000 Japanese troops was not the last straw that broke the camel's back, but the giant tree. However, the national army did not intercept this important information...
