At this moment, in the command center of the Battle of Songhu.
As the commander of the enemy, Chen Cheng was pacing around anxiously in the headquarters.
The Japanese didn't just land at the Golden Mountain Guards, they also landed between the Yangtze River and Shanghai.
Currently, there were Japanese fleets everywhere on the river.
He had no choice but to order Zhang Fakui's troops to retreat in the direction of Baoshan County.
At the same time, he ordered the right wing group army to head to Song Jiang quickly to deal with the threat from the Sixth Division.
As for the 18th division and the 114th division, one was heading towards Jiaxing while the other was heading towards Pingwang.
It was equivalent to cutting off all the routes on the west side of the Songhu battlefield. At present, the 114th Division of the Japanese had already controlled a section of the Shanghai-Hangzhou railway.
Once the Japanese broke through to the front line of Song Jiang, all the national troops on the battlefield in Songhu would be completely cut off.
Fortunately, the independent regiment that was transferred over from the Teaching Division performed very well in the battle at the Golden Mountain Guards.
They had stopped the Golden Mountain Guards from disembarking for an entire day, slowing down the advance of the sixth division.
This also lessened the pressure on Chen Cheng.
"Where is the Independent Regiment now?”Chen Cheng asked.
"Head, a part of the Independent Regiment has arrived in Song Jiang. Their regiment commander led a part of the troops and will continue to delay the advancement of the Sixth Division.”
Hearing the adjutant's answer, Chen Cheng's expression relaxed a little. He said,"Did you see that? This is the combat strength that a national army should have. Look at the others. They almost collapsed in the face of the Japanese.”
At this point, Chen Cheng seemed to have thought of something and asked,"This Liu Yu is from Huangpu Stage Five?”
"That's right. The old man's student was originally studying in the Germanic Empire. Because of the outbreak of the war, he returned to the country as soon as he received the notice.
After reporting to the Supreme Staff, he was appointed as the commander of the Independent Regiment of the Teaching Corps.”
"How are the members and equipment of this independent regiment?" Chen Cheng asked.”
Chen Cheng's adjutant stammered,""The Independent Regiment is just a team that was put together temporarily. They don't have any heavy weapons, and the entire regiment only has less than ten machine guns.”
Chen Cheng frowned and asked,""Then do you think that Liu Yu was lying about this battle result, or is it really true?”
"I don't know either. After all, the 6th Regiment was indeed blocked for more than 10 hours. This is an indisputable fact. On the Golden Mountain Guards 'side, other than the unranked local armed forces, there is only Liu Yu's independent regiment.”
Chen Cheng thought for a moment and said,"Then order the independent regiment to rest in the rear. As for the other matters, we'll talk about them later."”
……
When the trucks transporting food and real money returned from Song Jiang, they also brought Zhang Zifeng back.
When he saw Liu Yu, Zhang Zifeng immediately came forward to report,""Regiment Commander, the frontline command center ordered us to retreat to Jinling immediately.”
Liu Yu took the order document from Zhang Zifeng's hand and shook his head.""You take the troops in Song Jiang and withdraw to Jinling. I won't leave.”
When Zhang Zifeng heard this, his expression changed and he said,""Regiment Commander, are you planning to disobey orders?”
Liu Yu said calmly," No, I didn't disobey the order. The original independent regiment only had the people you brought to Song Jiang. Therefore, you evacuated the troops to Jinling to rest. This is not disobeying the order.”
If someone else received this order, Liu Yu believed that most of them would be quite excited. They could finally take a break.
However, for Tina, there was nothing more important than fighting the Japanese.
Hearing Liu Yu's words, Zhang Zifeng immediately persuaded,""Regiment Commander, the 67th Division has already entered Song Jiang City. Originally, the 62nd Division had all retreated to the rear. I heard that the 6th Division has already taken action, and the 18th Division has also transferred troops from Jiaxing and went straight to Song Jiang.”
At this point, Zhang Zifeng's expression turned serious.""Even if you block the sixth. But once the Japanese Eighteenth Division controls Song Jiang, you won't even have a way out here.
Besides, what's the use of me leading my troops to Jinling? You're the commander of the independent regiment. If you don't stay with your own troops, it's a violation of military discipline! In addition to disobeying orders on the battlefield, he would be in deep trouble.”
"I've already decided." Liu Yu said calmly.
Seeing Liu Yu's determined look, Zhang Zifeng took a deep breath and said,"Then I'll stay too. If we're going to die, we'll die together.”
"No, you're injured. I don't have time to take care of you.”Tina rejected him directly.
In the end, Zhang Zifeng pulled out his pistol, opened the safety, and pointed the muzzle at his head. He said,"Guild Leader, if you insist on letting me go, then I will die in front of you.”
"Why are you doing this? If you're not in Song Jiang, how can you bring the troops to Jinling?”Liu Yu said speechlessly.
"Regiment Commander, I can send the wounded to Jinling, but the other soldiers can come and help. Since we have to disobey the order together, we can disobey together.”Zhang Zifeng also said very straightforwardly.
Seeing Zhang Zifeng's determined gaze, Liu Yu could only pat him on the shoulder. Just when Zhang Zifeng thought Liu Yu was going to agree, he suddenly felt a pain in his neck.
The world in front of him suddenly spun, and then there was nothing else.
After knocking Zhang Zifeng out, Liu Yu ordered an infantry squad,""Return to Song Jiang with a battalion commander and ensure that he leads the troops back to Jinling. Tell him that in this world, the person who can kill me doesn't exist yet.”
Upon hearing Liu Yu's order, the infantry squad immediately nodded. They pulled the fainted Zhang Zifeng and boarded a truck directly and returned to Song Jiang.
Looking at the truck that had left, Liu Yu shook his head and said,"I alone am enough for this battle.”
After sending Zhang Zifeng off, Liu Yu looked at the time and realized that it was already past two in the afternoon.
At this moment, a large number of defensive fortifications had already been constructed.
In order to kill the Japanese, Liu Yu also took out ten 105mm howitzers and a portion of the vehicle mortars.
While he ordered the artillery to set up artillery positions in the distant forest, he also began to inspect the individual trenches built by the soldiers.
