The small Xiguan cut off all hopes of the 3rd Brigade of the 6th Division of the Japanese Army to Songjiang.

They even suffered the most tragic loss here

Xiguan, a very special Chinese army, has a punctual and iron wall, and is invincible when attacking. The combat qualities shown are completely different from those of any Chinese army.

On the 12th, Wang Weiyi began to prepare for retreat. The task of the Guard Battalion here is about to be completed.

The chariot troops began to retreat first. In the Xiguan defense battle, three chariots were lost here, but they made great achievements in the Xiguan defense battle.

Niujima Man could never imagine that when Xiguan was not likely to be lost, the Chinese army would voluntarily give up its position, rather than retreating as in the Battle of Shanghai, as the Chinese army would not be able to hold on.

Never stick to it and blackmail all possible disasters in advance in the bud.

This is what Wang Weiyi wants to do

The Japanese army's offensive weakened significantly on the 12th, and under the continuous attack, the Japanese army also shrank. During the whole day, although the Japanese army claimed to have carried out 13 more charges, these charges were often loud and thunderous, and the casualties between them were not very large.

On the night of the 12th, the main force of the guard battalion began to evacuate from Xiguan.

The last group of people left was Wang Weiyi.

Here, there is no need to shed blood anymore, the next place to shed blood will be in Songjiang

Here, the Guard Battalion, the remnants of the 43rd Army, and the security team fought bloody battles, killing 1,423 Japanese invaders, injuring more than 1,000 people, and capturing one. This is an unprecedented victory achieved by the Chinese army since the full war between China and Japan.

In this battle, 424 brothers from the security team were killed in the entire army, 239 casualties in the remnants of the 43rd Army, and 191 casualties in the Guard Battalion.

In terms of casualties, the Japanese army was significantly ahead of the Chinese army.

But this is not a glorious "leading"

Night, 11:55.

There are still the last 5 minutes before the arrival of the 13th.

In fact, by the time the night came, Wang Weiyi had completed the task, but he was still the last retreat.

Hold on to Xiguan until the 12th, and you cannot retreat in advance for a minute!

Now, there is only Wang Weiyi left on the position, and Guo Yunfeng's car is waiting for him from afar.

Wang Weiyi lit a cigarette and looked at the position calmly.

3 minutes left

What is delighted is not that the mission was successfully completed here, nor that there was a victory, but that the surviving soldiers will inevitably know how to fight after experiencing this cruel baptism, and if they use the smallest price to exchange for the greatest victory.

Just like those brothers in the Battle of Sanhuqiao, this is the greatest victory!

"Riders, please leave with confidence. When the Japanese set foot on Xiguan, everything here will be submerged by flames." Xiaoling's voice slowly rang.

Wang Weiyi smiled, he didn't know why, since he returned to China, Xiaoling has taken the initiative to provide a lot of help.

At midnight on the 13th.

Wang Weiyi threw down the cigarette butt, took a last look at the Xiguan position, and then slowly left.

The battle to defend Xiguan ended.

Here, the 36th Japanese Brigade suffered the worst casualties of the entire brigade since its establishment. Even after the Chinese army left, they still did not dare to attack, but continued to bombard the artillery fire for a long time before moving closer to the position in fear.

Hundreds of Japanese soldiers finally set foot on this position, they did not see Chinese soldiers

A wooden sign is erected high, with a few white words written on the front:

Burial place!

The Japanese don't understand what this means.

Unigroup Military Base.

November 13, 1937 at 6:30 am.

"The Japanese army enters the position and the weapons are ready to pass the rambler. The countdown to detonate begins after the weapon is completed for thirty seconds."

6:31.

"Boom-Boom-Boom-"

After a few violent explosions, the position was flooded with rolling smoke for a long time, and the calm here was restored.

"On November 13, 1937, the Guard Battalion, which had fought bloody battles for five days and nights in Xiguan, Songjiang, evacuated Wang Weiyi, the major of the Guard Battalion at Xiguan. Before retreating, Yu buried a large amount of explosives in advance and activated the time explosion device on the battlefield for the first time. It detonated when the Japanese army set foot on the position, killing 128 Japanese troops and injuring more than 200 people. The Japanese 36th Brigade continued to suffer the worst casualties."

In later historical records, the last battle that took place in Xiguan was recorded in this way.

Now, the battle on the outside of Songjiang has ended.

In the left wing direction, the 107 and 108th Divisions fought bloody battles, one after another, and held their positions under the repeated attacks of Japanese planes, cannons and tanks.

In the evening of the 12th, the follow-up troops of the Japanese 11th Brigade arrived in a steady stream, and the battle was extremely cruel. When the situation was extremely critical, Wu Keren, the commander of the 67th Army, went out of the city several times to supervise the battle, disregarding his personal life and death, and led the way to take the lead in charge, and finally suppressed the enemy.

In this battle, the chief of staff of the division, Deng Yuzhuo, was killed in battle.

However, the 67th Army successfully completed the mission.

When the officers and soldiers retreated hard, many soldiers shed tears towards Jinhebang, Desheng Lane, the two places where they had fought for five days.

Here, countless brothers will be buried here forever, and countless Chinese soldiers will never rise again

Among these officers and soldiers who died, the highest rank was Deng Yuzhuo, Chief of Staff of the 107th Division.

Their sacrifice was worth it. They bought enough defense time for Songjiang to stay in Songjiang until the 15th, and there were only the last three days left!

In the battle of defending the outside line of Xiguan, a force emerged from nowhere, and its performance on the battlefield can only be described as "stunning":

Hu Ben Guard Battalion!

The results of the Guard Battalion were unbelievable. Previously, both Wu Keren, the commanders of the divisions of the 67th Army and the brigade commanders of the brigades could not believe that the Guard Battalion could achieve such results with just such troops.

God, how did they do it?

When all the soldiers of the guard battalion drove into Songjiang, all the people who could come out came out. They looked at the mighty tanks, the arrogant cars, and the groups of soldiers showing off with their mighty eyes.

They are qualified to be proud, and no army can do this.

Their heads were high!

However, now is not the time to celebrate. The Japanese army who have obtained Xiguan, Jinhebang, and Desheng Lane will soon launch the most brutal revenge on Songjiang!

There are three days left, how can I persevere?

"Military seat, have all the people of Songjiang retreated?" Wang Weiyi couldn't wait to ask when he returned to the military headquarters.

"According to your proposal, all of them have been evacuated in the past few days. Now there are not many people in Songjiang except the army." Wu Keren nodded.

At the beginning of the Battle of Songjiang Defense, Wang Weiyi began to suggest retreating to the people of Songjiang immediately, and Wu Keren also accepted the proposal.

Wang Weiyi breathed a sigh of relief.

"But" Wu Keren hesitated: "Just yesterday, a Shanghai college student army arrived."

"What?" Wang Weiyi was stunned: "What are they doing here?"

There was obvious displeasure in his expression, which was completely different from the attitude of other troops when they saw the army.

Wang Weiyi did not exclude these hard-working troops, but now they are not the time to come! The so-called hard-working troops should come in the gaps in battle, and this can also enhance the morale of front-line soldiers.

However, when the battle is at its most intense, the emergence of the army can only distract the soldiers from protecting them, and these students who have no battlefield experience have no idea how to protect themselves in war.

"These things happen often, and we can't stop them for fear of hurting their hearts." Wu Keren knew what Wang Weiyi was thinking, and said with a wry smile.

Wang Weiyi shook his head and temporarily threw this matter away: "Military, we have been on the outside for five days and are very successful, but the last three days are the most difficult. Songjiang is like a target, and will be aimed effortlessly by the Japanese artillery fire. I think we will suffer tragic casualties on the first day of the battle."

His words were somewhat beyond the expectations of the officers.

Originally, in their opinion, it had been withstood the Japanese army for five days on the outside, and it was not difficult to continue to hold on for three days in Songjiang.

But in Wang Weiyi's mouth, it seems that these three days are much more difficult than those five days.

Wang Weiyi was about to speak, but a staff officer suddenly came in with a telegram. Wu Keren looked at it, his expression changed slightly, and then he looked at Wang Weiyi: "Battery Commander Wang, Huang Qixiang, the acting commander-in-chief of the Right-wing Army, has completed the task well in Songjiang. He is now ordered to retreat to the Jiangyin Fortress line on the Xicheng Line. This is a dead order and cannot be changed."

Wang Weiyi was stunned there.

Retreat? Order yourself to retreat at this time? Let the brothers of the 67th Army fight alone here?

"Military Seat"

Wang Weiyi was about to speak, but Wu Keren had already interrupted him with a smile: "Battleman Commander Wang, the telegram said, this is a dead order and cannot be changed."

"But you guys"

"It doesn't matter." Wu Keren still had a smile on his face: "We will continue to stick here until the 15th. Battalion Commander Wang, in fact, you didn't use Songjiang, but it's not easy for you to stick to Xiguan until now. Now, I will also order you to retreat!"

As he said that, he stared at Wang Weiyi:

"You are very good at fighting. Living is more effective than dying here together can have a greater effect on the country!" (To be continued. Please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!)
