    Chapter 479 Baishakou

    It was this Japanese brigade that made a suicidal charge, which delayed the troops' counter-attack. From time to time, a seriously injured Japanese soldier would pull off the grenade on his body, blowing up the soldiers around him into the air. The troops suffered casualties, and the soldiers were so angry that they didn't care.  Is it a corpse? First, the remaining Japanese soldiers were nailed to the beachhead position like nails, fighting to the death. From time to time, Japanese soldiers with red eyes rushed out of the position howling, but of course they were beaten into pieces.  Son.

    Although these more than 3,000 Japanese soldiers only lasted for more than half an hour before they were all annihilated, they also successfully covered more than 10,000 Japanese soldiers who fled to the sea outside Hangzhou Bay on landing boats. It also caused damage to the two counter-assault brigades.  More than a thousand soldiers were killed and wounded. The ferocity of the Japanese soldiers left a deep impression on the soldiers of the Sulu Mobile Corps. It also made them despise the Japanese army because of their victory in the first battle. They completely restrained themselves. Their deaths,  In exchange for the survival of more than 10,000 people.

    The main force of the Japanese army that landed in the Jinshanwei area of ??Hangzhou Bay, after losing more than 50,000 people, retreated in panic to the troop carriers in the open sea. All the ships were far away from the range of shore artillery fire, because the commander of the Tenth Army, Yanagawa Heisuke, and senior officials  The staff members were collectively finished, and the Tenth Army fell into a leaderless situation and was unable to organize an effective attack.

    The defeated soldiers of the Eighth Group Army, who had been centralized and contained, squatted in the rear fortifications, staring dumbfounded at the fierce battle. The sight of the Japanese army being annihilated made them feel as if they were dreaming. Some soldiers even pinched their own thighs.  Of course, the result was that they screamed in pain and made the soldiers who were guarding them so angry that they could not be called soldiers.  The ordinary people in our Dingbian and Taihang Mountain base areas are better than them!

    As soon as it came into contact with the Japanese army, more than 90,000 people in the Eighth Army had been disorganized. Only more than 50,000 people were taken into custody. More than 10,000 people fell under the guns and bayonets of the Japanese army. The rest were missing.  , among these defeated troops, the highest commanders were just a few regiment commanders, who were still weak and had no time to escape. As for the senior officers at the division commander level, they had long since disappeared and they ran away neatly.

    The fighting in the Jinshanwei area has temporarily subsided. Only the craters and the corpses of Japanese soldiers everywhere record the fierce battle just now. In the second Battle of Songhu launched by Japan, its attack arrow was broken, and the Tenth Army was already exhausted.  The division and commander were blown to pieces by artillery shells, destined to disappoint the ambitious Emperor Hirohito.

    The fighting at Jinshan Guards has temporarily ceased. Fireworks are still going on around Baishakou in Taicang, Jiangsu Province. Three brigades and a heavy artillery regiment commanded by Chang Feng are fighting inextricably with a Japanese division that has landed here.

    While Yanagawa Hei was assisting the 10th Army in landing from Jinshanwei, the Japanese 16th Division, with more than 35,000 troops, under the command of Lieutenant General Nakajima Konsogo, landed at Baishakou in Taicang, Jiangsu Province, and the forwards pointed directly at Beijing.  The Shanghai railway and highway were intended to outflank the retreat route of the Chinese defenders in the Songhu area.

    This is a partial division arranged in the Japanese base camp. Its main task is to contain the Chinese defenders and create favorable conditions for the smooth landing of the Tenth Army, which is to cover and flank.

    The division commander, Lieutenant General Nakajima Kongo, did not think so. He secretly rejoiced that his division could have a separate landing assault direction. This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. It was in this one fell swoop that he made great achievements. When the 16th Division suddenly  When appearing behind the Chinese army, the partial division will become a surprise force. This is a historical opportunity, because the terrain in the Baishakou area is relatively complex. When the gunshots in the Jinshanwei area of ??Hangzhou Bay rang out, his division was still on the sea and in the sky.  Fighting in the fog.

    Nakajima is very anxious now. He is not afraid of being discovered by the Chinese defenders, but is worried that after the troops land, all the Chinese troops will be eaten by the Tenth Army, and there will be no fight. After landing, the entire landing site was silent.  , there is no Chinese, he secretly rejoiced, God help me!  The troops did not expose their targets. He did not have the luxurious lineup of the Tenth Army. The entire Fourth Fleet escorted them, and only a few small gunboats were responsible for fire cover.

    Because the transport ship was unloading heavy weapons, it was a waste of time, and the Chinese defenders were not found. It was like entering an uninhabited country. He couldn't wait any longer and ordered the troops to develop in depth immediately. The heavy weapons followed soon after, and more than 35,000  The Japanese soldiers fought towards the Beijing-Shanghai railway and highway.

    The nearest road from Baishakou to the Beijing-Shanghai railway and highway passes through a hilly area. This is the only dangerous terrain in the Jiangnan water town with numerous water networks. Chang Feng deployed his troops here. Through the latent post in the direction of Baishakou, it was clear that  Understand every move of the Japanese army

    He did not deploy his troops near the beach in order to avoid being hit by Japanese naval gunfire. Who knew that the Sixteenth Division did not have such treatment? The terrain here was very suitable for an ambush. Chang Feng prepared a big bag for the Japanese army.  , based on his understanding of the Japanese army, before being attacked, he was very arrogant and was not afraid that they would not take this route.??.

    On the low hills, there are overgrown wormwood trees. The breeze blows through the grass and trees, swaying them in a dazzling manner. The mist is gradually dissipating, and some distant scenery can be seen dimly in the field of vision. A large group of Japanese troops have formed a combat team.  shape, entered the hills vigilantly, the regiment commander had an order not to shoot unless he encountered the Chinese troops, so as not to scare away the Chinese people and lose the opportunity to perform meritorious service. Otherwise, according to the regulations of the Japanese infantry passing through unfamiliar territory, they would have to  Conduct fire reconnaissance on both sides.

    After passing, there was a flat field ahead. The Japanese army captain breathed a sigh of relief. Based on his soldier's intuition, he always felt that something was wrong on these hills. Because he was too cautious, the troops were moving slower. The group behind them,  I have seen their shadows, and for this, I was scolded by the commander of the regiment. As the vanguard of the division, we are cowardly and afraid of death!

    Just as the soldiers of the Japanese vanguard brigade were poking their heads to observe the surrounding situation, countless pairs of eyes were staring at them in the hidden fortifications on the hills. It may be that the murderous intent of the soldiers was too strong, which made the Japanese brigade captain feel unsafe, but  , his piece of meat was too thin, and Chang Feng had no appetite to eat him, allowing him to pass the ambush circle smoothly.

    Not long after, the sound of chaotic footsteps was heard, and the brigade of the 16th Division caught up. Because they were eager to march, the Japanese soldiers marched in several columns together, crowding the road under the hills, and the formation was dense, even more so.  There was no preparation for battle at all, and all of them just trotted away.

    All the Japanese troops entered the ambush circle. Chang Feng ordered the artillery fire. The heavy artillery regiment's large-caliber artillery made a thunderous noise. Flames were sprayed from the muzzle, and huge metal projectiles were smashed towards the heads of the Japanese troops. The shells tore through the air and carried  With a frightening scream, he suddenly fell into the dense formation of the Japanese army.

    The silent hills suddenly came to life. Artillery shells blew up smoke and shrapnel, whizzing and harvesting the lives of Japanese soldiers. As soon as a shell fell, a black hole appeared in the crowd of Japanese soldiers. Within the killing radius of large-caliber artillery shells,  Japanese soldiers fell in droves.

    This is the uniqueness of Chang Feng's fighting. He did not let the infantry at the front fire first. Instead, he used heavy artillery to strike suddenly at the Japanese army first, resulting in the best killing effect. When the Japanese army was busy avoiding the artillery bombardment, the ambushing troops on both sides  Suddenly burst out, two soldiers were killed, and they were seriously injured, and the casualties of the troops were also small.

    The Japanese soldiers who were suddenly bombarded lay down on the spot, but they didn't know where to shoot with the guns in their hands. Nakajima Jinmao suddenly understood that this was the Chinese army that was ambushing and waiting for me. The strange thing was that they  Why not establish a blocking position on the beach and carry out fire strikes while you land? That would be a greater threat.

    "Moreover, there is no infantry cooperation in setting up an ambush, but these few artillery can still stop the invincible imperial warriors," a disdainful sneer appeared on his lips.

    It seemed that the commander of this Chinese force was not a wise man, but the shelling caused a lot of casualties to the troops. He immediately ordered two regiments to attack the hilly highlands on the left and right sides to eliminate the Chinese artillery.  The main force continues to advance. Our goal is greater results and not to get entangled with the small Chinese force.

    The Japanese troops attacking the hills on both sides were climbing up. Suddenly, pieces of turf were lifted up from the hillside with swaying weeds and shrubs. The black muzzles of the guns stared at them mockingly, and then a torrential rain of bullets was fired head-on.  Come, and there are a lot of mortars, and the shells are thrown at the brigade that is about to pass quickly. The troops are equal and the firepower is superior. Chang Feng is arrogant and calculated. As soon as Chang Feng takes action, he is as powerful as thunder and kills the Japanese army at that time.  The organization of the 16th Division was disrupted.

    Now I am waking up from a dream in Nakajima. It¡¯s not that the China commander is unskilled, but he is too cunning. He attacks with artillery first and lures himself to seize the high ground. The infantry suddenly rushes out and attacks his own brigade. Why do I encounter such an opponent?  ?

    Retreating is Nakajima's only idea. He has no capital to compete with the Chinese army. The artillery is still being unloaded, so soldiers with rifles are charged with the shells. Facing the Chinese army with superior firepower, hesitation will be ruined.  The 30,000-plus Japanese troops of the 16th Division retreated just as quickly as they came in. Your Excellency the Division Commander's order was truly wise.

    The Japanese soldiers who ran back were secretly glad that they had a clear-headed commander. The soldiers chased the Japanese soldiers and beat them hard. The roads were littered with corpses of Japanese soldiers. In just a short time, there were more than 8,000 Japanese soldiers.  Falling in a pool of blood, Nakajima saw the opportunity early and saved the vitality of the Sixteenth Division.

    The Japanese group in the vanguard was not so lucky. As the troops retreated, they fell at the very back and were intercepted on the road between hills. Chang Feng had no intention of letting them go. The Japanese soldiers also realized that they were in a desperate situation and watched.  The large troops retreated, but the road was blocked by the Chinese bullets. I was so disheartened that I simply resisted on the spot.

    The soldiers who surrounded them,Unprepared, they were knocked down by the bullets of the Japanese army on the road of attack. At this time, the soldiers were on fire. They concentrated their mortars and fired a barrage of shells, blasting the hillocks guarded by the Japanese army into flying dust and smoke.  It was lively just now, but when the smoke cleared, there was no longer a living Japanese soldier.

    At this time, in the outer positions of Shanghai, Zhang Zhizhong's Songhu Garrison Force was fighting lively with the Japanese Shanghai Expeditionary Force after blood transfusion.
