The 67th Division of the Northeast Army was definitely a strong anti-Japanese force.
From the war on the Great Wall to today's Songhu battlefield, the 67th Army and the Japanese had fought more than ten times. Both sides could be said to be old rivals.
Against the Japanese, the 67th Division had always been very tenacious.
Even though the 67th Division had always lacked weapons and equipment, and their salaries had been in arrears for who knew how long.
However, as long as they were fighting the Japanese, no one in the 67th Army would hesitate.
This group of men from the northeast always wanted to kill the Japanese, fight back to their hometown, and save their fellow villagers from the Japanese.
This was a group of real men who he called wandering in a foreign land. The most noble dream was not to get promoted and make a fortune, but to return home.
After receiving the order from the frontline commander Chen Cheng, the 67th Army did not hesitate at all. Three days ago, they sent troops to Song Jiang.
The 67th Division had just arrived from the battlefield in the Central Plains. They lacked supplies and did not even have time to rest.
They arrived at Jinling a week ago and were transferred to the Songhu frontline three days later. The troops had originally received combat missions.
As a result, he was temporarily dispatched to Zhang Fakui of the Right Army, and then he was temporarily ordered by Zhang Fakui to guard Song Jiang.
At the same time, the General Staff sent a special envoy from Vice-chancellor Jiang to deliver his orders.
The 67th Army was required to defend Song Jiang for at least three days. Violators would be severely punished by military law.
The 67th Army, which had just arrived in Song Jiang, immediately invested in the construction of defensive positions.
Commander Wu Keren also divided the troops into two main forces.
One relied on the city wall of Song Jiang to defend the ferry and important ports inside and outside Song Jiang City.
The other unit was stationed on the north bank of the Huangpu River in the north of Song Jiang. Once Song Jiang lost, the Japanese would not be able to cross the Huangpu River immediately and enter the rear of the battlefield.
When they received the order, Commander Wu Keren and all the soldiers in the 67th Division knew that the 67th Division was facing three Japanese divisions.
The 6th division, 18th division, and 114th division.
The 6th division was the closest, while the 18th division and 114th division were charging over from the west.
In the face of the three Japanese divisions, the 67th Army, who knew the combat power of the Japanese, knew very well that if they wanted to defend Song Jiang for three days, they had to fight desperately.
Although the 67th Division was a military-level unit, the national army in this period was generally one army, followed by two divisions, two brigades, and two to three regiments.
Because the 67th Division had been fighting for years, they could not get any reinforcements. In fact, they did not have many soldiers left.
That was just over 20,000.
They were facing tens of thousands of enemies who were more powerful than them in terms of firepower and combat power.
No one from the 67th Division retreated in fear.
However, just as the soldiers of the 67th Division were prepared to fight to the death with the Japanese…
However, he realized that the Japanese did not come.
It was not easy to wait for the Japanese to come. The Sixth Division also divided into three main directions and launched a bombardment on Song Jiang.
However, the firepower of the 6th division was surprisingly weak.
The Japanese's 6th division had been firing their cannons for the entire day, but they did not see any Japanese attack.
This made the 67th Division, who had been defending for three days, somewhat puzzled.
According to the orders of the General Staff, the 67th Division could even retreat by daybreak.
However, just as Commander Wu Keren was struggling to decide whether to retreat to Song Jiang, he, who hadn't slept yet, suddenly heard the rumbling sound of cannons.
When he rushed to the command post in front of him, he saw that it was actually the Japanese's position. He found that they were bombarding the enemy.
This made Wu Keren and the soldiers of the 67th Division confused.
Could it be that they still had their own artillery in this area?
In the beginning, the soldiers of the 67th Division even suspected that the Japanese artillery had hit the wrong target.
Although the probability of accidental injuries on the battlefield was not high, it was not unheard of.
Especially the artillery. It was not too outrageous to shoot at the heads of their own people.
On the battlefield, the situation was ever-changing. The artillery troops far behind the battlefield had time to grasp the timely information. It was rare, but not strange, for them to fire their shells at their own people.
However, the soldiers of the 67th Division quickly threw away this thought.
The Japanese were not stupid. If they made a mistake, they would naturally send a message to inform the artillery behind them.
It was impossible for such a continuous bombardment to be a mistake.
Although Wu Keren was a little confused at first, he immediately reacted.
For three days, the Japanese did not come. Wu Keren also understood that from Jinshan Guards to Song Jiang, someone had been restraining the Japanese.
For this reason, Chen Cheng, the frontline commander, had sent him a message, asking him to ensure Liu Yu's safety if he encountered her.
However, Wu Keren did not tell his subordinates about this.
After all, the central army was not well-liked in front of the local army.
"Gather all the division and brigade commanders for a meeting at the military headquarters.”
Wu Keren, who felt that the situation was a little unusual, immediately ordered the high-ranking officers to come over immediately.
When the 6th division arrived, Wu Keren had already discovered that the 6th division's strength had not reached the scale that a division should have.
Not only that, the 6th division should have a field heavy artillery regiment. The dozens of 150mm howitzers were the main focus of Wu Keren's concern, but he still didn't see them.
In the entire 6th division, only the Type 92 cannons were left, they were nothing like the 6th division.
If it wasn't for the fact that he had confirmed that this was the Japanese's 6th Regiment and that the 6th Cavalry Regiment was still nearby, Wu Keren would have found it hard to believe that this seemingly pathetic Japanese was actually the so-called elite 6th Regiment.
At this moment, Wu Keren seemed to have found the answer.
The artillery fire that appeared in the early morning and the flames that burned the sky in the distance already explained many problems.
He was not fighting alone.
