Song Jiang's 67th Army Command.
Wu Keren was listening to the infantry regiment commander at the front line report on the battle in the morning.
The result of the battle in the morning, compared to Wu Keren's repeated crossfire with the Japanese, he was very satisfied with this morning's battle.
"Commander, you might not know this, but during the battle this morning, someone helped us suppress the Japanese's firepower. The heavy and light machine gunners at the small ghost camp across the river were all killed. Their heads were smashed like watermelons.”Although the regiment commander in charge of the front line had a face full of smoke, anyone could see the excitement on his face.
"It should be the Ye Qingte Brigade.”Jin Kuibi heard the report from his regiment commander and nodded."I've asked around. The gunshots came from the back of our line of defense, at least 1,500 meters away from the Japanese's front line.”
"As expected, he is not simple." When Wu Keren heard this, the shock on his face did not dissipate for a long time. He sighed with emotion,"From 1,500 meters away, he can be so accurate that the Japanese's light and heavy machine guns completely misfire. No one in the national army can be better than him.”
"It's indeed very terrifying. If they were to carry out an assassination, no one would be able to escape.”Liu Wenqing also sighed.
"General, should we send some supplies over? They should be right next to us and we can find them.”Jin Kuibi asked.
Wu Keren shook his head and said,""Forget it. They didn't plan to show their faces last night. We won't be able to find them even if we look for them. There's no need to cause any misunderstandings.”
As soon as Wu Keren finished speaking, a communications staff officer ran in and took out a telegram from the folder. He reported,""Commander, the radio station that is in direct contact with the Special Combat Brigade has received an urgent message from the Special Combat Brigade.”
When Wu Keren heard this, he quickly received the message. After reading the contents, his face suddenly became solemn and said,"Special Combat Brigade Ye Qing's message, the Japanese's Guoqi Deng detachment crossed the river east of Song Jiang last night, and the 18th division crossed the river west of Song Jiang. The Japanese's Shanghai dispatch command has already sent a message to Guoqi Deng detachment, the 18th division, and the 6th division to launch a general attack on us from the east, south, east, and west of Song Jiang tonight.”
As Wu Keren finished speaking, the atmosphere in the entire 67th Division's command center suddenly became very oppressive.
From yesterday until now, the 67th Division had already lost 3,000 soldiers. Only 12,000 soldiers were left.
From the moment they arrived in Song Jiang, the 67th Army relied on the city and the railway station to build defensive positions in the east, south, and west.
But now, there were 12,000 people, and they had to face five times the number of Japanese. No one could relax.
This telegram told everyone present that a bloody battle was coming.
"The Japanese want to attack Song Jiang so badly, so we have to stick to it. Now, more than 300,000 of our comrades are retreating from the Songhu battlefield. Song Jiang cannot be lost. Otherwise, the Japanese can easily cross the Suzhou River and chase and block the retreating 300,000 troops.”Liu Wenqing said seriously.
Jin Kuibi looked at Wu Keren and asked,""General, did the special forces brigade say anything else?”
Wu Keren nodded and said," Ye Qing of the Special Combat Brigade said in the message that they will do their best to destroy the Japanese military's supply troops. At the same time, they will try their best to give us full firepower support. He told me not to save ammunition. He will find a way to replenish it."”
At this point, Wu Keren paused and continued,""The message also said that the Japanese waited until midnight to launch their attack because they wanted to wait for the arrival of the heavy artillery regiment. Ye Qing also promised that he would destroy the heavy artillery regiment of the Japanese, so that we could defend in peace, strengthen our positions, and prepare for tonight's battle.”
"It's not hard to tell from the message that Ye Qing is worried about our morale. He's afraid that we'll be scared before we even fight. After all, the Japanese have five times our military strength.”Liu Wenqing said seriously.
Jin Kuibi clenched his fists and said through gritted teeth,"Tonight, I will live and die with the camp. I will never let the Japanese take a step on my line of defense.”
When Liu Wenqing heard this, he also firmly guaranteed,""The people are here."
……
Not to mention the situation in the 67th Division's headquarters, Ye Qing was also discussing the next move.
The Japanese had a large number of troops pressing in. They had a permanent division, a Level 2 division, and a 5th division. Their combat power was quite shocking. Even though Ye Qing was mentally prepared, when such a large number of enemies surrounded them, it was difficult for him to face them calmly.
The Japanese had such a strong force that they could completely fight against three times the elite troops of the national army on the frontal battlefield. Even with the help of Ye Qing, the situation in Song Jiang was still unstable at this moment.
"The retreat of the main force is very troublesome. After all, all kinds of heavy weapons cannot be left behind. In addition, the roads in the country are not good, and the marching speed is very slow. Therefore, we have to think of a way to buy another five days.”Ye Qing concluded solemnly and continued,""Our first target is the logistics unit of the 18th division.”
