At dawn on November 5, 26, the 10th Army of the Japanese Army landed in the area of ​​Jinshanwei in Hangzhou Bay under the leadership of its commander Heisuke Yanagawa. Because the defensive forces in the Jinshanwei area were all transferred to the front line for reinforcement due to the critical battle of Songhu, the shore defense line was empty, and the Japanese army successfully landed in one fell swoop, and the rear of the National Army was immediately in danger.

In order to avoid the main force being surrounded and annihilated by the Japanese army, Chairman Chiang had no choice but to order a retreat. At this point, except for a few troops who were unwilling to retreat and stayed to continue to resist, the main force of the national army began to retreat one after another.

In order to cover the retreat of the main force, the Third War Zone ordered the former Northeast Army's 67th Army, who had just arrived on the front line, to rush to Songjiang City. Due to the long journey of the 67th Army, the officers and soldiers were exhausted. In addition, the hasty deployment of defense, all the officers and soldiers of the army resisted resolutely under the leadership of the commander Wu Keren. After three days and three nights of hard fighting, the entire army died heroically from the commander Wu Keren.

On November 8, Songjiang County was lost, and the main force of the National Army retreated to Kunshan and Jiading areas one after another. At the same time, the 16th Japanese Division, led by the division commander Nakajima Imao, arrived at the Yangtze River waters of Baimakou by warships.

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

At Baimakou, under a slope more than a thousand meters away from the landing port, Zhang Xinghan came here early with Li Dashan and a platoon of soldiers and lurked here.

Although the heavy rain in China and Japan destroyed the huge tunnel network that Zhang Xinghan had worked hard to build and excavate, the mines were not damaged. Some shallow mines buried were also buried again overnight by Zhang Xinghan and his men.

At this time, the sky was still covered with dark clouds, and it seemed that it might rain again at any time. Therefore, the Japanese reconnaissance plane did not appear again. This is also one of the reasons why Zhang Xinghan dared to stay at the forefront of Baimakou to observe the situation. Without the reconnaissance plane, it was absolutely impossible for the Japanese on the warship to discover them.

Behind the earth slope, Zhang Xinghan held a telescope in his hands and looked at the river surface where warships were gathered. Some small landing craft and gunboats were shuttled back and forth around the large transport ships and cruisers in a tense and orderly manner.

"Be good, this Japanese warship has a lot of warships." Li Dashan, who was beside Zhang Xinghan, couldn't help but sigh when he saw this.

Seeing that the Japanese ships were being mobilized frequently, Zhang Xinghan knew that the Japanese were preparing to land, so he immediately turned around and instructed: "Dashan, send orders to you and be ready to retreat at any time."

"Yes!" Li Dashan turned around and conveyed the order.

The officers and soldiers of the guard company who had been squatting or lying behind the dirt slope immediately raised their spirits, and they all raised their ears and clenched their guns and prepared to retreat at any time. Although they were not afraid of fighting with the Japanese, there were a lot of Japanese warships in front of them, and there were only dozens of people on their side. The gap was too big, and it was inevitable that the soldiers would feel a little upset.

Several landing craft on the river were already filled with Japanese devils, and then, under the escort of two small gunboats, heading towards the river bank quickly like an arrow.

After the landing boat landed, about hundreds of Japanese soldiers jumped into the cold river like dumplings, and then rushed towards the shore quickly.

Some rubber boats even rowed directly to the bank of the river, and dozens of Japanese soldiers quickly jumped to the shore with marching bags and rifles on their backs.

Zhang Xinghan continued to observe the situation of the Japanese. Through observation, he found that the number of Japanese people who landed for the first time was about one or two hundred, and there was a squadron.

After nearly two hundred Japanese soldiers came ashore one after another, they immediately scattered under the leadership of a commander and advanced forward with a vigilant expression.

At the same time, on a flagship on the river that was heavily guarded in the middle, Lieutenant General Nakajima Imao, Chief of Staff Colonel Nakazawa Mio and others were also closely monitoring the landing of the forward squadron.

According to the information provided by the reconnaissance plane, there were no Chinese troops stationed along the Baimakou area, but the cunning and cautious Nakajima Atsugo did not rashly carry out a large-scale landing, but only sent an infantry squadron for a tentative landing.

On the bank of the river, more than a hundred Japanese soldiers walked slowly towards the minefield arranged by Zhang Xinghan and others. The leading Japanese officer was very alert and would observe the surroundings vigilantly every time he advanced.

When he found that there were almost plains around him, he couldn't help but be overjoyed. Such a terrain would be impossible to set up an ambush.

However, at this moment, the Japanese officer felt his feet suddenly collapse, and he immediately howled in horror: "Baga, it's a landmine..."

"Boom!" Before he could finish his words, the mine exploded with a bang, and the fire flashed. The Japanese officer was blown back more than two meters away and fell heavily to the ground.

At the same time, some Japanese attackers stepped on landmines one after another, "Boom...Boom...Boom..." Landmines exploded one by one, and some chain of thunders set up by Zhang Xinghan himself also exploded.

The explosions were heard one after another in the Japanese crowd, and the Japanese soldiers were blown up and screamed and wailed everywhere.

On the flagship, Nakajima Imasago saw this and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly, then nodded in a cold tone and said, "Yoxi, it seems that the cunning Chinese are still prepared. Such an enemy is a bit interesting."

Chief of Staff Nakazawa Mio looked at the vanguard squadron that was already in a mess, turned to Nakajima Imao and said, "General, the cunning Chinese people have set up a minefield here. Have you ordered the engineers to clear mines?"

"No! Without engineers clearing mines, order warships to aim at the minefield and fire with all their might, destroying the minefield that destroys the Chinese people, so that the Chinese people can see the power of our imperial naval guns." A sneer appeared at the corner of Akagi Nakajima's mouth and waved his hand.

"Hayi!" Nakazawa Sanfu suddenly lowered his head and responded, then turned around and strode away with his saber.

After the earth slope, the officers and soldiers were still excited about the heavy casualties caused by the Japanese bombing, but Zhang Xinghan vaguely noticed that a trace of danger was approaching.

"Room, why haven't the Japanese engineer come out yet? You must have been frightened by our minefield and dared not come out to clear the mines, right?" Li Dashan couldn't help but ask in confusion as he saw the Japanese not making any movement for a long time.

"No, the Japanese are going to fire, retreat quickly!" Zhang Xinghan said, jumped up, turned around and ran away. Li Dashan and the officers and soldiers of the Guards quickly got up and followed.

At this moment, a deafening sound of shelling suddenly sounded on the river surface. The Japanese gunboat and naval gun fired almost at the same time. Li Dashan took advantage of the corner of his eyes to see countless fire balls roaring and falling, and screamed in fear: "I'll do it, come on, run!"

PS: I had a quarrel with my wife today, I was in a bad mood and couldn't write. I updated it late, please forgive me. There are too many fucking notes, and I'm still single. I'm afraid I can't compensate for what I owe today, but there are two basic chapters, so I'll go to the second chapter immediately.
Chapter completed!
