Chapter 40

The reason lies in the existence other than soldiers.First of all, the battle for air supremacy was controlled by the Chinese Air Force at the beginning, but at that time the national government had only more than 300 imported aircraft, while the Japanese army had a total of more than [-] aircraft and a complete production base. Air combat basically uses less to strike more, so no matter how high the quality is, it cannot withstand the consumption of the Japanese army.

Therefore, after entering the first ten days of October, the Chinese Air Force, whose combat aircraft had been basically exhausted, had to withdraw from the battlefield to defend Nanjing.As a result, air supremacy changed hands.

After that, the Japanese army, which gained air supremacy, began to frequently assist the ground forces in bombing our positions, causing our positions to frequently fall.On October 25, more than 150 planes were assembled to bomb our front-line positions in Dachang, and then fell.At this point, the Shanghai defenders had no choice but to push out of the SH urban area, and Shanghai fell.

In addition, heavy equipment such as artillery was not as good as the Japanese army at that time. Therefore, on the frontal battlefield, we could only rely on human lives to resist the indiscriminate bombing of the Japanese army.The fastest record is that a full regiment died less than a day after entering the battlefield.This is the real scene at that time!
Therefore, this weather is really good weather for the defenders!
At [-]:[-], Ruan Zhaochang gave the order for a general offensive to attack the [-]st Division of the Japanese Army on three sides.The encirclement was short of one, forcing the unsupported Japanese army to retreat.

As the three sides began to attack, the 16st Division was simply unable to resist the continuous attacks. After half an hour of resistance, they had to retreat.After leaving another wing to cover, the rest of the units retreated in the direction of No. [-] Division, preparing to join him for resistance.

"Okay, the little devil has withdrawn! Send a report to Commander Zhang. Our department has successfully recovered Baihegang at 45:[-] in the morning, and the [-]st Division of the Japanese Army has retreated." Ruan Zhaochang said.

"Yes!"

At the right army headquarters, the commander Zhang Fakui standing in front of the map shouted hello after receiving Ruan Zhaochang's telegram!

"Generating to the Tenth Army, the 16st Division is retreating to the No.[-] Division, let them put people in, look dead! Don't let them come out!"

"To the Eighth Army, immediately act according to the plan!"

"Yes!" The communications officer went to send the report immediately after receiving the two orders.

Liu Jianxu, who received the message, ordered the firepower to be strengthened, but the troops from the direction of the [-]st Division were transferred away.It's better to let them in, so as not to let the little devil cause a front and back attack.

The Eighth Army let the 55th Division continue to attack the brigade left behind by the devils, while the 57th, 61st and 62nd Divisions turned around and rushed towards the [-]th Division of the Tenth Army!
The [-]th Division, like the [-]st Division, was simply unable to resist the Eighth Army's attack in this situation, and could only retreat after two hours of resistance.

At this point, after a morning of fierce fighting, the Japanese army began to retreat across the board to the SH urban area.

As the Japanese army gradually retreated into the urban area of ​​Zhabei, Shanghai, the situation of Ma Chao and others gradually became sad.

As the last formed unit of China left in the urban area of ​​SH, it is no less obvious than a fly on a bald man's head at this moment.Their situation at this moment can be described as full of enemies.

After completing the task of harassing the Japanese army, they quickly returned to the Sixing Warehouse.Then I watched how lively the dispatch army and the tenth army were fighting back and forth.

It finally stopped at dawn, but it didn't take long for it to start again.This time it was another morning, and after the sound of gunfire stopped, we saw that the number of Japanese troops in the urban area gradually increased.

"We can't stay here any longer. If we stay for another two hours, we will be completely surrounded." Ma Chao said to Xie Jinyuan.

"Well, indeed, there are more and more little devils." Xie Jinyuan looked at Zhabei with a telescope and replied: "So, what should we do next?"

"Let's withdraw! You take the big troops and go to the confluence division headquarters before the little devils notice it. I will take the knife and they will go to the pier." Ma Chao said with narrowed eyes.

"Huh? It's understandable for me to take people out, but what are you and Dao Zi doing at the pier?" Xie Jinyuan asked puzzled.

"According to the current situation, the little devils should already be retreating. After all, their heavy artillery brigade has been destroyed, and the plane cannot take off in this weather. Therefore, they lack heavy firepower and they can't fight us Yes. That is to say, the offense and defense have changed at this moment.

They can't afford to lose all the 10,000+ troops here.So I judge that their next step must be to retreat.There is only one way for the little devil to retreat, and that is to board the warship from the pier and retreat to Tianjin.This time should not be too long. "

"Do you still remember the fifty mines brought by Daozi yesterday afternoon? I'm going to arrange them at Wusong Wharf. If we're lucky, we can also leave one or two of the little devil's warships by the way." Ma Chao detailed explained.

"Well... I understand. When will I act?" Xie Jinyuan said.

"It's not too late, let's go now, so as not to have long nights and dreams!" Ma Chao said.

"Okay, then I will go down to form the team now, you take the knife and leave first, we will stay for a while and cover for you."

"it is good!"

Turning around and leaving, Ma Chao called Dao Dao and the others, and immediately set off on the boat. In order to distract the target and avoid attracting attention, he took five fishing boats to separate and leave, and finally met at Wusong Wharf.

In order to reduce the draft of the hull and avoid attracting the attention of the Japanese army, they threw mines into the water and tied them under the hull. Five or six people on each boat dressed up as fishermen.

As the five small boats filed out, the water swayed down the Suzhou River and disappeared into the distance.

Xie Jinyuan stood on the balcony watching them gradually disappear into Shanghai's dense water network, turned around and went downstairs to assemble the troops.

Ma Chao, Daozi and a group of young gangsters rowed the boat slowly forward.His nerves were tense, and he focused all his attention on the north bank of the Suzhou River.The chosen route is either in the dead corner of the river bank, or in the reeds.In short, if you can hide, you can hide. If you can't hide, only one person is left on the boat to row the boat, and the rest of the people go into the water, hide their figures on the south side of the boat, and move forward slowly holding the rope.

After all, it is indeed very strange that there are five or six big men on a small black awning boat.
