On July 8, 1940, the Japanese army carried out indiscriminate bombing of Zhenhai for a whole day.

Zhenhai was almost reduced to ruins, and civilians suffered heavy casualties.

The Zhenhai defenders, who had obtained the information in advance, avoided casualties to the greatest extent.

In the early morning of July 9, the Japanese ground attack finally launched.

Consistent with the intelligence provided by military commanders, the Japanese army used the Marine Corps as the leading force in the attack.

500 Japanese Marines, supported by powerful naval guns, landed aggressively on Mouse Mountain in Qingzhi and quickly advanced towards Jinji Mountain.

According to the strategy formulated in advance, the 194th Division retreated in large strides after conducting slight resistance.

The Japanese army quickly seized Jinji Mountain and Qijia Mountain.

The strategic purpose of luring the enemy deep has been achieved.

The 1127th Regiment of the 194th Division set out from Baozhuang and Yuwang and quickly launched a counterattack against the Japanese troops in Qijiashan!

They rushed forward and strangled them together, preventing the Japanese army from taking full advantage of their artillery fire!

This is a death order from the men of the 194th Division!

Not the best tactic, but the most suitable tactic for the Chinese army!

It is also the most tragic tactic!

Otherwise, what else can be done?

If you don't fight with the Japanese army, you will face crazy bombing from the Japanese army's sky and ground artillery fire!

Only in this way can the Japanese artillery fire be apprehensive.

In the Jiangnan Xiaogang area, Qijiashan will become a strategic location where the Chinese and Japanese armies will fight repeatedly!

Houjiacun, temporary headquarters of the Military Command Ningbo Station.

In every battle, military commanders are the most inconspicuous group of people.

But the responsibilities and sacrifices they bear are often a very heavy proportion of combat troops.

"We must help the troops figure out the deployment of all Japanese troops in Qijiashan!"

Meng Shaoyuan stayed up all night again, his eyes were red.

"They're all up, they're all up, even Captain Lai is up." The military commander in charge of reporting the news said in a hoarse voice: "Stationmaster Liang also brought reinforcements to Zhenhai. Now our military commander Ningbo Station has almost all the agents.

We have arrived at the front line. Station Commander Liang asked me to inform you that a small group of Japanese troops is heading south. If this happens, Houjia Village will inevitably encounter Japanese troops. Station Commander Liang wants you to withdraw first."

"Go tell Liang Tong, leave me alone and do his thing. Houjiacun is a big village. Once the Japanese come in, the place will suffer. I am a soldier after all. It is my responsibility to protect the people!" Meng Shaoyuan never said

So calm: "Li Zhifeng, arrange the guards and prepare for battle!"

"yes!"

Li Zhifeng suddenly became happy.

After leaving the army and becoming the captain of the officer's guard, how long had it been since he had fought with the Japanese army with real swords and ammunition?

Now, the opportunity has finally arrived.

Li Zhifeng is not too worried. The guards under his command are all professional soldiers.

Moreover, the head of the Shanghai District of the Military Command Bureau is directly under the Guards, so rich!

Yishui's flower traps and shell guns. This time I came to Ningbo, I expected there would be combat missions, so I brought two light machine guns with me, and I also had enough grenades.

Even if he does encounter the Japanese army, Li Zhifeng is confident that he can resist it for a long time.

"Sir." Lu Chengtian said solemnly: "The Japanese army's combat effectiveness is still very strong. I suggest that we inform Lai Songsheng and the others to reinforce Houjiacun in time. Maybe we can surround the Japanese army moving south, and we can win a small victory."

"Okay." Meng Shaoyuan pondered for a moment: "Just do as you say."

After a while, Meng Shaoyuan suddenly remembered something: "Wu Jingyi, you and Yu Yanchu go back to Ningbo first."

Wu Jingyi smiled sweetly: "I'm not your wife. I have to come if you let me, and I have to leave if you let me."

Meng Shaoyuan stared: "I am your commander!"

Wu Jingyi smiled brightly: "You have the nerve to tell me, sir, that you don't even know the family law of the military? If a commander sacrifices his life or a subordinate runs away, he will be severely punished! I am also the secretary of Shanghai District after all. I leave my commander and run away first. I don't want to lose face."

Of?"

Meng Shaoyuan was stunned.

Wu Jingyi hooked his chin: "Although you are a scoundrel and shameless, I really can't bear to let you die in the hands of the Japanese. Don't worry, the Japanese are really coming, I will protect you."

."

Holy shit!

You want to save face, don’t you think I don’t want to lose face?

As soon as he saw Yu Yanchu laughing there, Meng Shao was furious: "You are laughing so much, if you fall into the hands of the Japanese, you will know what life is worse than death."

"You care about heaven and earth, how can you still care about whether I laugh or not?" Yu Yanchu actually didn't take this officer seriously: "Sister Jingyi and I have discussed it long ago, and we really can't keep it anymore, Sister Jingyi.

Kill me with one shot, and I will kill Sister Jingyi with one shot. Master, you have no choice but to kill yourself. But can you do it?"

Master Meng didn't want to talk anymore.

Where is the majesty of the chief?

"Macheng, you are my personal bodyguard, in case..."

"I won't do it!" Ma Cheng refused without even thinking about it: "Killing the chief is not allowed by family law, let alone family law. It is not allowed by national law. You'd better do it yourself."

Your grandma's.

Just wait, after this fight, see how my commander puts your little shoes on!

…

"Two machine guns are arranged here."

Being able to go back to the battlefield, Li Zhifeng's excitement was beyond words.

There was only one way into Houjia Village. Although the guard only came with fifteen people this time, Li Zhifeng was still confident of holding on with their strong firepower.

At this time, the battle situation came from the front. After the Japanese marines landed, the infantrymen also landed in Zhenhai on ships.

The Japanese army in Zhenhai has reached a scale of 2,000 with the continuous increase of troops.

Moreover, the Japanese army's troop surge continues.

Zhenhai fell into a bloody battle.

“Turn Zhenhai into Taierzhuang!”

This was a fatal order issued by Chen Defa, commander of the 194th Division.

What's even more brave is that Chen Defa ordered the division to move forward, directly turning his headquarters into the front line.

Chief of Staff Ding Renxu also personally directed the 1127th Regiment to launch a counterattack against Qijiashan.

Shangyu's 16th Division is also on the way for emergency reinforcements.

Qijiashan in Xiaogang, Jiangnan has become a top priority.

The Chinese and Japanese armies even engaged in hand-to-hand combat many times.

At the most critical moment, Chief of Staff Ding Renxu directly encountered the enemy. Ding Renxu commanded the guard company and fought bloody battles to push back the Japanese troops.

Fortunately, the Japanese army did not know that the commander on the opposite side was the chief of staff of the 194th Division and did not continue the attack. Otherwise, Ding Renxu would have been in danger.

"Under the overturned nest, there are still intact eggs!"

The entire Houjia Village was mobilized.

The bloody nature of Ningbo people was clearly revealed at this time.

A large number of villagers joined the battle to defend Houjiacun.

Those who have guns use guns, and those without guns use hoes and rake.

The elderly, women, and children joined in the work of repairing fortifications and preparing to transport the wounded.

"Sir, are you the national army?"

"yes."

"Then why aren't you wearing military uniforms?"

"Plainclothes team." Li Zhifeng patted the shell gun on his waist: "Don't worry, we are all serious soldiers of the national army!"

As soon as these words were said, the villagers in Houjia Village were completely relieved.
Chapter completed!
