The purpose of forming the Tenth Army in the island base camp is obvious.

They hope that under the leadership of Lieutenant General Yanagawa Heisuke, the Tenth Army can open up the situation during the landing operations.

Specifically, the combat plan of the Tenth Army is as follows:

First, land near Jinshanwei in Hangzhou Bay, outflank the back of the southern part of the Chinese Army’s line of defense, and then quickly assault, cut off the Shanghai-Hangzhou railway, and support the dispatch of troops from Shanghai;

Second, after crossing the Huangpu River, continue to attack west and south, and send troops to Shanghai to encircle and wipe out the main force of China!

On November 5th, the sky was just bright, and under the **** of the navy, the Tenth Army quietly appeared in the Jinshanwei area of ​​Hangzhou Bay.

Immediately afterwards, the Tenth Army immediately launched a landing and sneak attack.

Defending here are 4 divisions and 1 brigade under Zhang Fakui's 8th Army, with a total of more than 40,000 people.

All along, the Supreme Command of China and the General Command of the Songhu Battle have focused their attention on the frontal battlefield in Shanghai.

They all thought that the devil would not land in Hangzhou Bay very much.

In addition, on the front battlefield of the Battle of Songhu, the fighting intensified, and China suffered thousands of casualties every day, even more than 10,000 soldiers.

In order to replenish the strength of the front line, the four divisions and one brigade have successively reinforced them to the front line in order to supplement the strength of the troops.

In this way, when the Devil's Tenth Army came, there were only two infantry companies, one artillery company, and local armed forces on the dozens of kilometers of coastline near Hangzhou Bay.

They have neither heavy artillery nor decent fortifications.

Faced with a new force of 120,000 well-equipped devils armed to the teeth, the results speak for themselves.

Very easily, the Tenth Army destroyed the Chinese defense forces here.

After the successful landing of the Tenth Army, it quickly echoed with the dispatched troops from Shanghai led by Matsui Ishine.

Knowing that the Tenth Army had landed on Jinshanwei, the Supreme Command of China, especially the generals who commanded operations at the front, were all surprised.

For this reason, China’s Supreme Command immediately ordered the former enemy commander Chen Cheng to quickly block the Devil’s Tenth Army.

Under Chen Cheng's order, Wu Keren's 67th Army was pushed to the front.

In fact, the 67th Army had just been transferred from the northern part of Henan to the vicinity of Songjiang.

What I have to say is that at this time, before the 67th Army was deployed to Hangzhou Bay, the Devil's 10th Army had already flocked to Songjiang.

In desperation, the 67th Army was forced to launch a self-defense counterattack in Songjiang City.

I have to say that the 67th Army is very tough.

However, the firepower of the Devil's Tenth Army was too fierce, and the firepower of the 67th Army was too poor to see.

In the end, after the 67th Army fought hard for three days and three nights, Matsue Castle was taken by the devils.

As a result, everyone from General Wu Keren to ordinary soldiers was martyred one after another.

What I have to say is that General Wu Keren was only 43 years old at the time!

After the 67th Army was annihilated, the Devil's Tenth Army was divided into two groups.

Part of them began to attack the shores of Taihu Lake, and pointed the finger directly at Nanjing, the capital of China!

The task of the main force is to cut off the Shanghai-Hangzhou railway and highway, thereby encircling the main force of China.

At the same time, under the command of Nakajima Jinzhaowu, the 16th Division successfully landed in Taicang, Jiangsu.

The strategic purpose of the 16th Division is even more obvious.

They tried to cut off the Beijing-Shanghai railways and highways, thus forming a tendency to converge with China's main force.

In other words, the 16th Division intends to pocket the encirclement circle.

In this way, if China’s main force does not retreat, the situation will be obvious!

The 700,000 army in the Songhu area, under the blow of the devils' massive heavy weapons, will become a turtle in the urn, and will be wiped out!

At this time, the senior commanders of China's Supreme Command and the Songhu Front were all taken aback.

In fact, upon hearing this bad news, many soldiers were in a mess.

Even some troops have been in chaos, but it is difficult for the commander to control the scene.

It's all like this, there is no way, plus the strategic goal has been achieved, on the night of November 8th, the Supreme Command of China made a painful decision:

All troops must withdraw from Shanghai to fight, split into two groups, and retreat to Nanjing, Suzhou and the area west of Jiaxing.

The Huaxia troops withdrew, naturally, the devil's occupation of Shanghai seemed very relaxed.

On November 11, Shanghai Mayor Yu Hongjun published a letter to the citizens through the radio station.

He solemnly declared that Shanghai, the largest city in the Far East, has fallen!

Two days later, on November 13, the government also issued a statement to all Shanghai compatriots.

In the statement, the government praised the bravery and tenacity of the participating troops.

Of course, the government also explained the losses of this battle.

All the elite troops in Huaxia have been reduced by three-fifths!

In addition, the government also explained the significance of this battle:

It broke the arrogant slogan of the island nation's destruction of China within three months!

Most importantly, the government also announced that the next wave of battles, the Jiangyin Defense War, will officially begin!

What I have to say is that after successfully implementing the strategic vision of the military **** General Jiang Baili, China can be regarded as a glorious defeat.

Also, the Songhu area is too small.

With more than 70 divisions and more than 700,000 troops of Huaxia, fighting the devils in this narrow battlefield, before the war, it was doomed to fail.

Fighting in this place, Guizi has the absolute advantage of land, sea and air, and can also play to the advantages of multi-arms combined combat.

In addition, the Songhu area is densely covered with many large and small rivers.

Unlike the nomads of the Yuan Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty, the island nation has a powerful navy.

With the help of naval ships, nearly 400,000 devils were able to break through terrain restrictions by boat.

The most important thing is that the devils can exert the power of large-caliber naval guns.

In fact, there is another most important reason why Huaxia is eager to retreat.

Shanghai and the capital Nanjing are too close.

Shanghai is the front line, and the capital Nanjing is exposed to the devil's sight.

So many devils have come, and they are still increasing their troops. The capital Nanjing is very dangerous.

It must be mentioned that during the Battle of Songhu, the European and American powers believed in appeasementism.

It was also ~lightnovelpub.net~ when World War II really began in 39 years, appeasementism was still very popular.

Therefore, China has desperately resisted the devils, but the European and American powers did not speak for China, only knowing that they were silently paying attention to all this.

During the thrilling three months of the Songhu Battle, although Huaxia failed, it reached a consensus.

Even if the battle reaches one soldier and one shot, it will never end the war of resistance!

After losing more than half of the elite troops, for the sake of the overall situation of the War of Resistance, I chose to retreat from the Songhu area. There is no doubt that this is the most tragic decision in the history of the Chinese nation!

Although the Battle of Songhu was defeated, it was a glorious defeat.

The most important thing is that the vast majority of Huaxia people are determined to unite around Jiang Jieshi and continue to fight the war!

In fact, Ye Tian planned to do things in Jinshanwei for a reason.

Moreover, Ye Tian had already thought about it, even if he was really martyred, this time, he had to go there for whatever he said!
