Chapter 64: Rebuilding the 67th Army (Please read the new book)
Naturally, not just anyone can enter such an important meeting, but anyone who can break into the meeting room is not mediocre.
The man who suddenly broke into the conference room was named Wang Shihe. He was a native of Xikou Town, Fenghua, Zhejiang. He graduated from the first phase of the infantry course at Huangpu Military Academy and was the director of Chiang Kai-shek's attendant room. In addition, this person also has a very important identity, that is, he is Chiang Kai-shek's nephew.
After breaking into the conference room, Wang Shihe walked straight to Chiang Kai-shek without looking at anyone else, then placed the two messages in front of him and whispered at the same time: "Principal, good news from the front line!"
Although Wang Shihe¡¯s voice was not high, everyone could still hear it clearly in such a small conference room. When they heard good news coming from the front line, everyone perked up their ears.
The same thing happened to Chiang Kai-shek. When he heard the word "Victory News", he was immediately shocked and immediately picked up the message and read it.
Just after taking a look, he said loudly: "Okay, okay!!!"
These three words in a row once again made everyone in the conference room widen their eyes, and they were all curious about who actually had this honor and was praised like this by the chairman of the committee.
After reading the first telegram, without even having time to read the second one, Chiang Kai-shek couldn't help but stand up and said: "Everyone, good news came from the front line. The rear detachment of the 67th Army raided the Japanese Sixth Division during the breakout. The 47th Regiment Headquarters succeeded, annihilating more than 400 Japanese troops, and killing the enemy's deputy, Lieutenant Commander Yamada. On the 12th, they counterattacked Jiaxing and defeated them! In this battle, more than 800 Japanese troops were annihilated, and dozens of tons of various types of Japanese munitions and supplies were destroyed. At the same time, Major General Moritake Tanabe, chief of staff of the Japanese Tenth Army, was killed. On the 14th, our main force withdrew to Huzhou and fought a decisive battle with the Japanese invaders who attacked Huzhou City, annihilating an artillery brigade of the Japanese army and killing and wounding another 1,500 enemy troops. The rest of them also blew up the 18th Division¡¯s arsenal!¡±
Everyone was stunned. The 67th Army actually did so many things quietly. Not only did it destroy the headquarters of the 47th Regiment, it also captured Jiaxing City, annihilated the Jiaxing defenders, and even Killed Major General Moritake Tanabe, chief of staff of the Japanese Tenth Army.
Comparatively speaking, the significance of reinforcing Huzhou is even more important. If what this telegram says is true, then the Japanese troops on the front line of Huzhou have suffered considerable losses, and the ammunition depot has also been blown up. After all, the little Japanese on the front line are facing ammunition. The dilemma of scarcity.
An army without ammunition, no matter how powerful it is, cannot defeat the defenders of Huzhou. In this way, Huzhou can be saved, and if Huzhou is safe and sound, the hundreds of thousands of troops who have withdrawn from the front line in Shanghai will not be afraid of being captured by the little devils. Had dumplings.
"Principal, is this information accurate? According to the news we have received, the 67th Army was almost completely wiped out in Songjiang City. Even the whereabouts of many generals including Commander Wu Keren, Chief of Staff Wu Tonggang and others are unknown. There is even news that Wu Keren has surrendered to the enemy, and the authenticity of this good news remains to be discussed!" Dai Li said.
At this time, Wang Shihe interjected: "This telegram is a clear message sent from the front line by the people of the 67th Army's rear detachment ten minutes ago. It was reported to the attendant's room by your military command bureau. In addition, there was also a top-secret telegram reported together."
¡°As he spoke, Wang Shihe pointed to the second telegram and motioned to Chiang Kai-shek to take a look at it before talking!
Lao Jiang picked up the second telegram and read it again. This time his face changed slightly and his excitement faded slightly!
"What a 67th Army, what a Wu Keren!" Lao Jiang said with emotion.
"Commissioner, what happened?" Chen Cheng asked aloud.
Old Jiang sighed and said: "This telegram was sent back by one of our senior intelligence personnel. It details the battle of the 67th Army in Songjiang City. Please read it to everyone!"
"yes!"
He Yingqin then took the telegram and read it aloud: "At the end of October of the 26th year of the Republic of China, as the Japanese army broke through the Dachang defense line on the Songhu battlefield, the war situation deteriorated sharply. The Military Commission immediately ordered the 67th Army to march to Jiangsu overnight and organize it into a right-wing front army The general reserve force under the command of Commander-in-Chief Zhang Fakui was stationed in Qingpu. On November 5, the Japanese Tenth Army landed in large numbers from Jinshanwei in Hangzhou Bay, attacked Songjiang County, and detoured from the western front to the rear of the Chinese defenders. The battle situation suddenly became dangerous. Zhang Fakui urgently ordered the 67th Army to advance toward Songjiang with light equipment and severely defeat the enemy to ensure the safety of our right-wing army in Shanghai."
"At the same time, Huang Qixiang, acting commander-in-chief of the right-wing army, also issued an order to Songjiang security commander Wang Gongyu: ordering the department to cooperate with Commander Guo Rudong of the 43rd Army and Commander Wu Keren of the 67th Army to defend Songjiang County for three days, violating military law. Severe punishment.¡±
"Songjiang County is only sixty miles away from Jinshan Guard. Wang Gongyu, then the security commander of Songjiang, only had a few local troops under his command. At this time, Guo Rudong of the 43rd Army only had a few hundred remaining troops. Wang Gongyu was anxious after receiving the order.At this moment, Wu Keren was as anxious as a spark. He knew that the war situation was critical and the task was severe. In order to buy time to seize the fighter plane, Wu Keren did not have time to supervise the entire army to set off together. Instead, he took the lead in entering Songjiang County with the chief of staff and some staff members at night, and then deployed the commander of the 107th Division Jin Kuibi to lead his troops to occupy the north of Songjiang. Zhang Wenqing, commander of the 108th Division, led his troops to occupy the south of Songjiang City and attacked the enemy head-on with cameras to ensure the safe retreat of friendly forces in Shanghai. "
"On November 7, the Japanese troops who landed at Jinshanwei had rushed to the other side of the Huangpu River. They immediately used fierce fire cover and dispatched rubber boats and wooden sailing boats to force the landing. The officers and soldiers of the 107th Division suppressed the enemy's firepower with flat-fire artillery and stormed across. The Japanese army immediately killed and injured five to six hundred Japanese soldiers. There were numerous enemy corpses on the Huangpu River. Almost all enemy rubber boats and wooden sailing boats were sunk. Acting Commander-in-Chief Huang Qixiang went to the battlefield in person after hearing the news and doubled down on the heroic actions of the division's officers and soldiers. Appreciated.¡±
"On the afternoon of the 8th, Japanese reinforcements arrived one after another and the offensive intensified. The 107th Division fought fiercely with the enemy on the Jinhebang and Deshenggang lines and suffered heavy losses. Division Chief of Staff Deng Yuzhuo died in the battle. At the same time, the 108th Division fought from Songjiang to Shi Encountered the enemy at No. 30 Bridge between Hudang. Liu Qiwen, commander of the 322nd Brigade, was martyred during the fierce battle. After the Japanese army took the opportunity to move back to the 108th Division, Xia Shuxun, commander of the 324th Brigade, led the remaining troops to defend Songjiang Xiguan to prevent the enemy from approaching Songjiang. county seat."
"In the evening, Japanese follow-up troops arrived one after another, and the two sides turned into street battles. The battle was extremely cruel. Due to heavy casualties in the battle on the two wings outside Lijiang City, Japanese troops poured into Songjiang County like a tide, and were surrounded on three sides: east, south, and west. The situation was It was extremely critical. In order to fulfill the military order of "holding for three days", Wu Keren went out of the city several times to supervise the battle. Regardless of his personal life and death, he took the lead in the charge and finally suppressed the enemy's power, and the war situation gradually became stable."
"At midnight on November 8, the military order to defend Songjiang for three days was successfully completed. Between 10 and 11 pm, some officers advocated an immediate withdrawal from Songjiang in order to proactively reduce casualties, but Wu Keren insisted that he must defend Songjiang until 12 midnight. time, otherwise it will not be regarded as a successful military mission. It was not until the early morning of the 9th that Wu Keren ordered a breakout. After he asked Commander Guo Rudong to evacuate first, he led the headquarters personnel and Wang Gongyu to assault from the north gate and rush towards Jinshan in the direction of Kunshan. "
"At this time, our Shanghai defenders had withdrawn one after another, and a large number of people and horses crowded onto the road. In addition, the Japanese troops roundabout blocked the main road, and the situation was extremely chaotic. Wu Keren rejected the suggestion of his entourage to choose another path and insisted on commanding the troops to capture The enemy's position was opened and the road was opened to allow the crowd to pass. On the afternoon of November 9, Wu Keren led the rest of his troops to Baihe Port at the junction of Qingpu and Kunshan, preparing to cross the Suzhou River from here to Kunshan, but the river bridge had been blown up by enemy planes. Wu Keren made a prompt decision and commanded his troops to swim across the river."
"At this time, enemy planes in the sky repeatedly bombed and harassed, and the Japanese ground troops circled around to search nearby. Wu Keren was not afraid of danger, calm and composed, and commanded calmly. In the evening, just as the troops were about to finish crossing the river, a Japanese army suddenly attacked. During the battle, Wu Keren Unfortunately, he was shot and died at the age of 43. At the same time, Army Chief of Staff Wu Tonggang was also killed in Songjiang City. The remaining troops were commanded by Military Operations Staff Officer Li Guoyao to form a rear detachment and break out from Songjiang."
The entire conference room could hear the drop of a needle, and everyone lowered their heads in shame!
Just now, they were still thinking about how to put the blame on Wu Keren and the 67th Army. The Military Commission meeting even made a decision to revoke the designation of the 67th Army. Now, instead of surrendering to the enemy, Wu Keren's troops showed fearlessness. He completed the combat mission assigned by Shangfeng with great spirit. For this reason, the 67th Army was almost wiped out, and the Army Commander and Chief of Staff all died in Songjiang.
What is a hero? This is a hero! And it¡¯s not a lone hero, but a collective of heroes!
After a long time, Old Jiang said in a deep voice: "The 67th Army fought bravely and deserved to be praised. We revoke the previous decision. We will discuss how to reward it later. The Ministry of Military Affairs can publicize the deeds of the 67th Army and send a separate report to the rear detachment of the 67th Army." , ordering them to immediately evacuate the Huzhou front line and return to Nanjing via a detour."
"yes!"
¡°In addition, we will send a report to Zhang Wenqing, the remnant of the 67th Army, and order them to rush to Nanjing immediately. We must rebuild the 67th Army!¡±
