Let’s not talk about Wang Jiageng and Wang Jiayi’s brothers and sisters for now, let’s talk about the little devil later. 』

At this time, not only Jiading County had been lost, but Baoshan County had also been lost. Of course, this was also related to the fact that the Songhu Military Division did not defend, because Wang Husheng only ordered Luodian to defend, and it was precisely because of Luodian that he was forced to defend. After the follow-up troops of the 20th Division landed from Shizilin, they detoured to Baoshan and Jiading.
By around 9 p.m., the 79th Infantry Regiment and the 80th Infantry Regiment of the 77th Infantry Regiment of the 20th Division had completed the encirclement of Jiangwan Town from three directions: north, west and east. However, there were differences of opinion among the top Japanese leaders on whether it was necessary to attack Jiangwan overnight.
It should be noted that at this time, the headquarters of the Twelfth Army had already moved to Taicang, and the headquarters of the Twentieth Division had also moved from Liuhe to Taicang. The two headquarters were not even a hundred meters apart. The new commander of the 12th Army, Bunzaburo Kawagishi, brought Chief of Staff Shigemao Aoki directly to the headquarters of the 20th Division.
On the issue of whether to attack Ewan Town overnight, the commander of the Twelfth Army, Kawagishi Bunzaburo, and the commander of the Twentieth Division, Ushijima Minoru, had serious differences of opinion.
Ushijima believed that the attack should not be launched at night, because the aviation force could not be dispatched due to light reasons at night, and the observers using hot air balloons could not guide the naval guns to carry out precise bombardment. Even the troops directly under the 20th Division The operational efficiency of the 26th Field Artillery Regiment will also be greatly reduced.
This means that if they attack at night, the Japanese army will completely lose its artillery advantage, which is undoubtedly extremely disadvantageous to the Japanese army, because from the bloody battle in Luodian, we can see that the troops of the **Songhu Military Division have extremely strong combat effectiveness. In terms of firepower intensity of small weapons, it is even better than that of the Japanese army.
Therefore, Ushijima was firmly opposed to attacking overnight.
However, Bunzaburo Kawagishi insisted on attacking at night.
The reason why Kawagishi Bunzaburo insisted on attacking overnight was all because of Tojo Hideki.
Because Hideki Tojo's order to Bunzaburo Kawagishi was to keep the strategic fulcrum of Jiangwan at all costs, but now the troops of the Songhu Military Division are storming Jiangwan Airport. According to the report of the airport defenders, the Chinese offensive It is very fierce. If reinforcements do not arrive, they will hold on for three to five hours at most and they will surely fall before dawn.
Ushijima Mitsune and Kawagishi Bunzaburo could not convince each other, and finally started to quarrel fiercely.
Although Bunzaburo Kawagishi is the commander of the Twelfth Army and the nominal commander of Ushijima Minoru, he is only a nominal commander because Ushijima Minoru's military rank is also Lieutenant General, which is the same as Kawagishi Bunzaburo! If Ushijima Minoru was really serious, there was nothing Bunzaburo Kawagishi could do against him.
"Ushijima-kun, I want to remind you that this is an order from the headquarters of the Sixth Army!" Bunzaburo Kawagishi slammed the table and roared at the top of his lungs, "The base camp ordered our Twelfth Army to protect the river at all costs. I hope you can seriously consider this strategic fulcrum of the Gulf."
"Kawagishi-kun, I also want to solemnly remind you that if you rush to attack at night, our 20th Division will pay an unimaginable heavy price!" Ushijima Minoru retorted, "The order from the base camp requires us to protect the river. Bay Airport, but the base camp did not understand the actual situation on the front line.”
Bunzaburo Kawagishi said angrily: "An order is an order. As a soldier, how dare you disobey orders?!"
Ushijima Minoru also said angrily: "Kawagishi-kun, you can eat first, but don't talk nonsense. I never said I would disobey orders, and I never said I wouldn't fight Jiangwan, and I never said I didn't want to keep it." Jiangwan is the strategic fulcrum! What I mean is that the attack cannot be rushed. It is not too late to wait until daybreak to attack!"
"You are quibbling!" Bunzaburo Kawagishi said angrily, "Don't you have a telegram from Mr. Nakamura? Mr. Nakamura has made it very clear that they can only hold on for three to five hours at most. If the reinforcements fail to arrive, Dawn Jiangwan Airport must have been declared occupied before, but by the time it got up at dawn, even the day lilies were cold."
"Nakamura Jun? Nakamura Jun's words can't be trusted!" Ushijima Minoru said coldly, "According to the investigation conducted before Xiao Inu-kun's death, the missing Kage Sasaki Aki is certainly the biggest suspect, but Nakamura Jun is also a suspect. Before he is washed away, no matter what he says cannot be trusted, and there is no need to inform him of any important military information in the future."
"I agree with this. From now on, whenever there is important military information, there is really no need to inform Mr. Nakamura." Bunzaburo Kawagishi nodded first, then shook his head, "But one code is one code, and there is danger at Jiangwan Airport. Regarding this matter, it was not just Nakamura Shun who called to report the urgent situation, but also Shimada-kun from the Third Division!"
The Shimada mentioned by Bunzaburo Kawagishi was the captain of the infantry brigade that was airlifted from Pukou to Jiangwan Town. The Songhu Military Division's offensive against Jiangwan was indeed very fierce, especially after nightfall. Wang Husheng even ordered four main battalions. The offensive was strengthened, so not only Nakamura Shun but also the Shimada Battalion also sent a request for help telegram to the 12th Army Headquarters.
But Ushijima Minoru still shook his head: "Shimada-kun's words may not be the truth. Before our 20th Division arrived in Shanghai, they had already persisted for such a long time. How could they persist for one more night? Is it really so difficult to hold on until tomorrow morning? Kawagishi-kun, as a coach, you need to have judgment."
Bunzaburo Kawagishi was so angry that he vomited blood. This island was really insecure.

Jiangwan Town, Songhu Military Division Temporary Headquarters.
Wang Husheng had become an ant on a hot pot and was pacing back and forth in the headquarters. It had been almost two hours since the Japs arrived outside Jiangwan Town, but they still refused to attack or even enter Jiangwan. The buildings on the outskirts of the town made Wang Husheng feel like his breath was stagnant. Could it be that the Japanese had smelled it
Could it be that the little devil has noticed that there is an ambush in Jiangwan Town
Otherwise, why would the little devil suddenly stop and stop attacking
This is completely illogical, and this is not the usual style of the little devil!
Wang Husheng couldn't help but start thinking wildly. What made him even more anxious was that now he couldn't even find anyone to discuss with. Xu Rui was still with the Japanese at Jiangwan Airport, while Xie Yuan and Yang Rui had already gone to the front line. troops, Jiang Nan and Liu Mei stayed in the rear and were responsible for the logistics of the troops.
At this time, Wang Husheng could only hope that Xu Rui would come with urgent instructions.
Otherwise, Wang Husheng will really go crazy, he really can't carry this burden!
Fortunately, Xu Rui did not disappoint Wang Husheng, or Xu Rui did know Wang Husheng very well, so at this juncture, he quietly let Digua cross the line of fire and sent instructions to Wang Husheng. Xu Rui only had one instruction, which was to give the order immediately. The four main battalions launched a general attack on Jiangwan Airport.
After receiving Xu Rui's instructions, Wang Husheng finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Immediately, Wang Husheng issued the order for a general attack to the four main battalions!
It must be admitted that Xu Rui's battlefield sense and battlefield insight are really strong.
Since the main force of the 20th Division did not attack immediately after arriving at Jiangwan, Xu Rui could keenly judge that the little devil still had doubts about attacking Jiangwan at night! This is human nature. The Japanese are not good at night fighting, and they cannot take advantage of their heavy weapons at night. If Xu Rui were the Japanese commander, he would not choose to attack at night.
But Xu Rui had to force the Japanese to attack at night. Not only would the Japanese have aviation assistance after dawn, but they would also have the cooperation of large-caliber naval guns. More importantly, after dawn, the Songhu Military Division would be stationed in Jiangwan Town. There is a high probability that the Japanese will discover your arrangement! In any case, those are thousands of kilograms of explosives and dozens of tons of fertilizers, so many materials, and they are also flammable and explosive materials. No matter how good the disguise is, it is impossible not to reveal some flaws!
Only at night can this possibility be minimized!
Therefore, we must force the Japanese to attack at night!

Ushijima Minoru was still having a heated argument with Bunzaburo Kawagishi at his division headquarters.
However, while the two were arguing, Uchida Ginnosuke, the chief of staff of the 20th Division, suddenly walked in and reported to Ushijima Minoru: "Division Commander, I just received Shimada-kun's farewell telegram. , it is said that a quarter of an hour ago, the **Songhu Military Division suddenly launched a general offensive. After a quarter of an hour of fierce fighting, Nangai, which was guarded by Shimada Brigade, fell. After Mr. Shimada sent us a farewell telegram, he had gathered the remaining troops and prepared to fight to the death. Fight back.”
"Haga!" Bunzaburo Kawagishi was really pissed off now. He waved his arms and yelled at Ushijima Minoru, "Ushijima-kun, if the Shimada Brigade's desperate counterattack fails to recapture the South, and if the Chinese cannot be driven out, , even if the other three sides are lost, it will be meaningless, because the Chinese can destroy the airport runway from the south! If the airport runway is destroyed, the entire airport will cease to exist. The base camp proposed to use Jiangwan as a fulcrum and then attack The plans for Shanghai's urban area will also come to naught, and if this happens, you must be responsible for it!"
Ushijima Minoru's determination finally wavered.
To be honest, Ushijima Minune actually didn't dare to ignore Tojo Hideki's orders. Tojo Hideki could defeat even Itagaki Seishiro, so how easy would it be to defeat him, Ushijima Minoru? Ushijima Minoru never dared to provoke Hideki Tojo. The reason why he was reluctant to attack was because he was lucky and believed that the defenders at Ewan Airport could hold on until dawn!
But now, the defenders at Jiangwan Airport really can't hold out until dawn.
This cannot be ignored. Jiangwan Airport is really going to fall, and Hide Tojo will be in trouble! Amazing ass, plump and charming body! WeChat public: meinvmeng22 (press and hold for three seconds to copy) You understand and I understand!
