- Chapter 440 Crazy Matsui
The staff officers and adjutants looked at General Zhang dumbfounded. This was the first time that the usually calm general cheered like a child. Zhang Zhizhong calmed down and ordered his adjutants: "Send a telegram to Commander Tang of the Tenth Group Army." , let¡¯s just say that the general¡¯s troops are truly brave. The Japanese army lay dead in the fields, stained the beaches with blood, and killed tens of thousands of soldiers. Please accept the highest respect from all the officers and men of the Ninth Group Army to you and your men.¡±
After Zhang Zhizhong finished dictating, he felt that he still had more to say, and ordered to send a telegram to Chairman Chiang Kai-shek in Nanjing: "Xunjian, Chairman Chiang Kai-shek in Nanjing, in the early morning of August 23, the Japanese army came to reinforce the troops, with a division of troops as the vanguard, in the Wusong area Forced landing on the beach, the Tenth Army used two brigades to fight against one Japanese division. After several hours of fighting, more than 38,000 Japanese troops from the division commander Yoshizumi Ryosuke down were wiped out. "
"This battle was carried out by the 10th Army alone. The strong combat effectiveness it displayed, and the achievement of such a result with only hundreds of casualties, surprised Wen Bai, and it has also become a model for our Shanghai defenders. I hope Chairman The general order commends the units of the Tenth Group Army to boost the morale of our army. With the troops of the Tenth Group Army, as the backbone of Shanghai's defense, Wenbai can ensure that Shanghai is not lost."
When the second landing echelon of the Japanese army was heading towards Wusong, a landing craft that had a chance to escape, carrying two Japanese soldiers, came towards them in despair. Susumu Fujita, the commander of the third division, felt a "thump" in his heart, landing When the gunfire from that direction stopped, he felt that something was not right. Logically speaking, Yoshizumi Ryosuke successfully landed and successfully established a solid foothold on the beach. Now he was also in the stage of attacking in depth, so why couldn't he hear the gunfire? Cannon fire?
Unless the Chinese defenders were completely defeated, there should be sporadic gunshots and the silent battlefield, making the soldiers even more unsure. After the leader asked about the situation, Fujita sat down on a chair, his face turned pale, and he remained silent for a long time. , the Yoshizumi division was much stronger than his own division. In just a few hours, the entire army was wiped out. Who was the Chinese army guarding the beach? With such a fierce fighting power, he could eat more than 38,000 Yoshizumi divisions in one bite. If he went up on his own, could he still take advantage?
Fujita was confused, and the task Matsui gave him was to expand the landing site of the Yoshizumi Division, and then expand it to the two wings to provide security for the landing of subsequent troops, and occupy the Wusongkou fort. But now, let alone occupy the fort, even He didn't dare to land. He thought for a long time and ordered the troops to temporarily stop advancing. Then, he turned the ship around and reported what happened to the Yoshizumi Division to Commander Matsui. Before leaving, he did not forget to take the two soulless men with him. son's soldiers.
Matsui was on the flagship, playing Go leisurely with the chief of staff. The warm sunshine was shining on his body, surrounded by the blue water, and a few seabirds were flying freely. Matsui was in a great mood, and the combat order had been issued. , how to fight is a matter for the division commanders. As long as he gets the result, according to his prediction, tonight, the Shanghai Dispatch Army Headquarters will be able to work in Shanghai, Shiliyangchang.
The sound of a motor came from far away, and a landing craft bumped towards the flagship. It should be Yoshizumi Ryosuke from the vanguard, who sent someone to report the battle situation. When he saw that it was Susumu Fujita, Matsui's face darkened, and he was in a good mood. Everything has been destroyed by this guy. If he doesn't direct the troops to complete the combat mission, why is he here? He must have stressed that difficulties were coming. No wonder the division he commanded was the weakest among all the units of the Shanghai Expeditionary Army.
Susumu Fujita hurriedly boarded the gangway. Seeing his panicked look, Matsui despised him even more. How could such a person achieve the position of division commander? Those people in the Army Department are all blind. The soldiers of the empire, especially As a general, he should be calm in every situation. Fujita's behavior really embarrasses the army. How can he set an example for his subordinates?
Although this old guy looked down on Fujita in his heart and secretly complained, he had a calm smile on his face and the demeanor of a general. Fujita was so panicked that he even forgot to report and salute in front of Matsui Iwane.
Matsui felt extremely unhappy, but before he could ask, Fujita reported hurriedly: "Your Excellency, Commander, I have received a report that the Yoshizumi Division was ambushed by the Chinese army during the landing at Wusong, and all of them have been killed." The army was destroyed, and the commander of the Yoshizumi Division and all the soldiers were crushed to pieces. They had served His Majesty the Emperor with all their loyalty."
Matsui stood up suddenly, and the chessboard was knocked over. A black Go piece bounced a few times on the deck and fell into the rippling sea without even a splash, just like a piece from the leading division of the Japanese army. Fate and fate.
Matsui couldn't believe it, and couldn't believe it. The Yoshizumi division with strong troops was wiped out like this. This was an outcome that he could never have expected. However, he couldn't help but believe that Fujita Susumu's words might be false, but these two This soldier is a living testimony. Their devastated look must have witnessed something very unbelievable and extremely terrifying.face.
Matsui's eyes were straight, and he stared blankly at the blue sky. The sun expanded infinitely in front of his eyes, and came towards him like a ball of fire. His vision went dark, his throat became hot, and a mouthful of blood suddenly spurted out, and his thin body shook. In a few moments, if it weren't for the sharp hands and eyes of the chief of staff beside him, this old guy Matsui Iwane would have plunged into the vast expanse of the East China Sea to feed the sharks, saving him the rest of his sinful years.
Matsui Youyou woke up, looked at the staff around him with dull eyes, sighed longly, and closed his eyes again. His old face looked more like a dying man, and there was a deathly silence in the cabin. Those Japanese soldiers The senior officers looked at Matsui, who was lying on the bed like a corpse. They looked at each other and secretly muttered in their hearts, is the Commander really dead? Why can't I see his breathing?
Suddenly, Matsui sat up like a corpse, startling the Japanese officers surrounding him. This old guy should be mentally prepared. However, they found that the commander had changed, and there was a look in his eyes. He had a cold look on his face, his face was livid, and there were murderous auras all over his body, he looked like a mature, thousand-year-old demon.
Matsui came out of bed, his demeanor has returned to normal. All the officers secretly admired him. After all, a veteran who has been on the battlefield for a long time returned to normal so quickly. He asked himself that he couldn't do it. He was a warrior of more than 30,000 empires? In fact, Matsui knew the pain in his heart. The fist he extended was smashed to pieces by the Chinese army. He did not think that the Chinese people had strong combat effectiveness and superior firepower.
When will the Chinese people know and be able to fight? The two soldiers who were lucky enough to survive were exaggerating. As for Fujita, he was so frightened that he ran back without seeing the battle scene. He only complained that he was too careless. He only sent one division with 200,000 troops. If he once xing expands the three divisions, and the Yoshizumi division will not be fighting alone. Now, he should stand on the beach in Shanghai, adjust his deployment, and one blow will work. He must use the blood of the Chinese to pay tribute to the heroic spirits of the imperial warriors. .
At this time, Matsui Iwane's inner bloodthirsty and violent mentality had already affected his thinking. The entire Yoshizumi division was wiped out, which made his bloodthirsty desire uncontrollable. He massacred the city and turned Shanghai into a mountain of corpses and blood. To let the corpses of the Chinese people float all over the Huangpu River, Matsui had only one idea: to break into Shanghai, kill or kill
"Fujita's division will temporarily stop the attack and call all division commanders to the flagship for a meeting to discuss the next battle plan. Go ahead." Matsui gave the order in a calm tone. Only the chief of staff who was familiar with him smelled the smell of blood on him.
On the morning of August 24, Matsui mobilized 130,000 troops from four divisions to attack the Chinese defenders' beachhead positions in multiple directions. From the Chuansha River mouth, Shizilin to Wusong, the entire line fell into fierce fighting, especially Changfeng. On the defense front of the army, Matsui mobilized one and a half divisions to focus on the attack. Matsui was cruel to the troops that had eaten up one of his divisions and must kill them all.
The Japanese heavy artillery brigade mounted large-caliber artillery on large landing craft, desperately firing at the Chinese defenders' positions, and providing fire support for the swarming Japanese landing troops. In addition to the troops of the ** division, the Chinese defenders in other directions The Japanese army suffered a loss. The range of their artillery could not reach the Japanese heavy artillery on the sea. They were suppressed by the fierce Japanese artillery fire. The simple fortifications were destroyed. The soldiers' bodies were thrown into the air by the exploding shells, and the casualties increased sharply.
On the defensive front of Chang Feng, the Japanese heavy artillery did not take advantage. When he annihilated the Yoshizumi Division, he deliberately concealed his strength. The large-caliber heavy artillery was not used even once. Therefore, the Japanese heavy artillery mounted on the landing craft was When they sailed beyond the range of the Chinese defenders' light artillery, they started shelling.
When the Japanese heavy artillery bombardment just started, the artillery brigade began to fight back. The Japanese army suffered a great loss. The heavy artillery mounted on the landing craft swayed back and forth with the sea waves, and it was impossible to fire accurately. , already well-trained, soaring water columns rose up around the Japanese landing craft. The landing craft that was directly hit, the debris and the artillery were thrown high, and then fell heavily into the sea. The Second Artillery Brigade of the Sulu Mobile Regiment lost 100% of its troops. At the cost of six meters of large-caliber artillery and more than 70 soldier casualties, 28 Japanese landing craft and the Japanese heavy artillery on the boats were killed.
The threat of the Japanese heavy artillery was lifted, the pressure on the troops was suddenly reduced, and the power of light weapons was exerted. Facing a wave of Japanese troops like water, the cheers of light and heavy machine guns and Somi submachine guns never stopped, and the Japanese troops were repulsed. , after breathing for a while, he rushed forward again.
The soldiers fought furiously. After repelling an attack, they suddenly launched a counterattack with a brigade of troops, chasing the retreating Japanese troops. There was a burst of fire, and the supporting heavy artillery poured hail-like shells on the Japanese troops. On their heads, the explosion caused the Japanese troops to fly bloody. The soldiers pushed the Japanese troops back to the sea in one fell swoop before returning to their positions angrily.
Matsui used one and a half divisions of troops, but he still didn¡¯t attackChang Feng's position instead lost more than 10,000 people and never launched the next attack.
Chang Feng¡¯s troops fought well, and the gunfire on this side subsided. However, other troops of the Chinese defenders were locked in a hard fight and the situation was critical.
