The scale of the war continues to expand.
The Japanese 9th Division set out from Wugang on the 17th and is expected to arrive on the 19th.
In order to support the division, Shimomoto Xiongmi, commander of the 24th Mixed Brigade, landed on the Huangpu River and ordered the 14th Regiment.
The engineer squadron attached to the 2nd Battalion forcibly crossed the Yunzaobang River on the 19th and occupied the area near Shenjiazhai.
The brigade broke through to the north bank of Yunzhaobang through the pontoon bridge erected by engineers at dawn that day.
The 61st Division of the 19th Route Army had another fierce battle with the Japanese army.
They were repelled one by one by the defenders of the 19th Route Army.
In view of the failure of the battles in Zhabei and Wusong, the Japanese army used the Marine Special Marine Corps and the strength of eight Marine Corps brigades to contain the defenders on the front line of the Zhabei Bazi Bridge.
On the one hand, the 6th Brigade of the 9th Division was mobilized to form the 24th Brigade to attack Jiangwan and Miaohang.
The river warships also provided fire support to Wu Song while threatening him.
The Huncheng 24th Brigade fought fiercely with the 88th Division of Zhang Zhizhong's 5th Army for several days, and both sides suffered heavy losses.
The position was still in the hands of the 88th Division.
Part of the Huncheng 24th Brigade, which failed to attack, took advantage of the foggy weather in the morning to break into the area around Mai's house at the east end of Miaohang Town and the cemetery on the south side.
A series of arrangements and the success of Shimomoto Xiongmi made the 5th Army extremely uncomfortable, and the entire front was likely to be fully penetrated by the Japanese army.
To this end, Zhang Zhizhong personally led the teaching team into the front line.
Due to various actions of the Japanese army, the war situation suddenly became unfavorable to the Republic of China.
"Quick, quick."
Amid the urging of the officers, the soldiers of the brigade were crawling forward in the training ground covered with barbed wire.
When they raised their heads a little higher, they hit the barbed wire above.
Another group of soldiers quickly crossed the balance beam.
Due to limited space, the training of each company is staggered.
In other places, there are soldiers carrying out cross-country raids with heavy loads.
"Swear to kill the Japanese invaders.
Restore China.
Kill."
In another open field, hundreds of soldiers stabbed forward with their rifles over and over again, stabbing the vital points of the scarecrow in front of them while roaring loudly, as if the scarecrow in front of them was life and death. enemies.
Jingle bells ring.
"If you haven't finished, keep working, and if you've finished, go have your meal right away."
The officer said coldly and loudly.
The soldiers who had completed their training tasks immediately ran to the newly built canteen after hearing the officer's words.
The newly built canteen has a long, narrow wooden table with long wooden benches on both sides.
Unlike the limited quotas in the past, soldiers now have unlimited meals during training.
You can take as much as you can, which is a blessing compared to the past when you were not very full, but there is also an unfortunate part.
If you take too much and cannot finish the rest, the end will be more tragic.
Each person can receive an egg and a bowl of relatively thin broth.
The rest are steamed buns, steamed buns and the like.
In comparison, the selection and training of special operations teams are much more difficult than those of regular armies.
If it were in the past.
With this kind of training intensity, the soldiers would have been exhausted a long time ago, but now an adequate supply of food is guaranteed.
And despite being brainwashed by the war of resistance every day, they were able to maintain high morale in the army.
"The annihilation of more than 1,700 Japanese Marine Special Marines and the loss of more than 2,100 of them was a surprise to the Japanese army.
It can be considered a victory."
Jiang Li, who was inspecting the training of the troops, couldn't help but sigh when he saw such a battle report.
To put it bluntly, this is not that the 19th Route Army is unwilling to fight desperately, but the backwardness in weapons cannot be shortened by a single act of bravery.
It is rare to be able to achieve such a one-to-one exchange ratio.

Historically, the exchange ratio between the Anti-Japanese War and the Japanese army was exaggerated, reaching an astonishing ten-to-one or even higher.
"At this time, some people only want to negotiate peace with the Japanese.
However, the people below are very enthusiastic about resisting the war.
Otherwise, Shanghai may not be able to achieve such a good record.
The commander is right, no matter what the upper level is like, with the Japanese invasion , the anti-war consciousness of the people and the grassroots soldiers below was unprecedentedly gathered, and the people voluntarily organized death squads, stretcher teams, communication teams, and transportation teams.
In the early days when the 19th Route Army was short of ammunition, it was the private industrial factories in Shanghai that produced homemade grenades and explosives.
On the other hand, the Nanjing government took better care of them.
The attitude is really groveling."
Feng Zhanhai was very concerned about the situation in Shanghai, and when he talked about Nanjing, he was a little disdainful.
"Compared to the last time in the Fengtian Anti-Japanese War, it is an improvement for Nanjing to send the elite 5th Army to Shanghai this time."
Jiang Li continued to inspect the training soldiers and said as he walked, "The battlefield environment in Shanghai is better than It’s even worse since Fengtian, we The training of the 4th Mixed Brigade must be stepped up.
When the 4th Mixed Brigade left, it had 1,000 people.
I couldn’t stop laughing if only 5,000 people came back.
This year, we will expand the number of divisions by two to three on the original basis.
Although my uncle is in charge of part of the work, Feng Brother, the burden on your shoulders is not light.”
"I don't care.
The key is that the supply of materials and ammunition here, Commander, should not be compromised.
Without material support, training cannot maintain the current level."
Feng Zhanhai nodded.
"Weng Wenhao discovered a medium-sized copper mine, and the production of bullets has been settled later.
There will be a sufficient supply of bullets."
The reconstruction of the arsenal is progressing very quickly, relying on Jiang Li's memories of later generations of mineral resources to take some shortcuts.
The copper mines and the iron mines in Longnan have also been further surveyed.
The construction team of the steel plant is now on its way to Longnan.
Jiang Li also specially sent a mixed brigade from Zhao Yi to settle in Longnan to deter local forces and ensure the smooth construction and commissioning of the steel plant.
Bullets produced from copper are reserved for battlefield use.
Steel bullets are sufficient for daily training.
If they are not kept for a long time, they can also be dropped directly on the battlefield.
"I'm glad you can come to the northwest, Mr.
Gurnold."
After inspecting the military camp, Jiang Li came out to meet two engineers who had come all the way from Germany.
Not only the two Germans Gounold, but also Feng Zhanhai was very surprised that Jiang Li could still speak German.
"Nice to meet you too, General."
The beard under Gunold's nose trembled as he spoke.
Even though the other person was yellow-skinned, even though this place was too poor, two German engineers did not dare to deal with the company's largest financial backer.
There is no disrespect at all, and of course, he is not afraid of the opponent's general status.
"Have you brought your company's equipment?"
Jiang Li led the way, gesturing for the two of them to go inside.
"We have entered Lanzhou with us.
As long as the general provides us with enough manpower, space, and power equipment, we will soon be able to produce sights for the general.
But with all due respect, Lanzhou is such a backward place. , is there enough electricity and coal for us?
Of course, if possible, we would still like to live in a better dormitory with electric lights," Manstei said
