Since the all-out War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, if it is said that the battle was the most tragic, then I believe that the Battle of Songhu was definitely the most fierce battle, and there was no one.
The battle was known as the "Meat Grinder of the East", and although it ended in a full retreat, he crushed Japan's false claims of three months of occupation of all of China.
So next, let's talk to you about a fierce battle when the Battle of Songhu was just started.
Peng Shan, commander of the Nationalist 11th Division, received orders to support friendly forces around Luodian, Baoshan, and Liuhe when the Battle of Songhu had just begun.
Knowing the significance of this battle, Peng Shan immediately led his troops to the front line when he received the order, although he had already advanced rapidly, but based on the equipment of our army and the combat quality of the soldiers at that time, the difference between him and the Japanese army was too large, and before he arrived, Luodian's position was already lost.
Although Luodian is only a small town with only a thousand households, its geographical location is indeed extremely important, and it is actually a place where the Liang army must fight at that time, because he is the gateway to Shanghai, once the Japanese army enters Shanghai, then the Beijing-Shanghai railway will be occupied by the Japanese, and the supply of anti-Japanese materials will be greatly affected, which will make the anti-Japanese team fall into a great passive position.
Knowing the great strategic significance of this place, Peng Shan, after receiving the order to retake the position himself, quickly threw himself into the fierce battle, when he came to the front line, analyzed the current situation, and then decided to first bombard the Japanese troops in the position with heavy artillery, with a fierce bombardment of artillery fire, the smoke on the battlefield rolled in, at this time, the 66th Regiment shouldering the offensive task, also did not dare to slacken off, taking advantage of fire support, but also rushed to charge.
However, the combat literacy of the Japanese personnel is extremely high, even if they are hit by a round of saturation just now, but the remaining Japanese troops are still high-minded, set up machine guns, that is, to carry out intensive shooting, the soldiers of the 66th Regiment fell one by one, but none of them retreated, the front fell, the soldiers behind them were made up, so they went forward and followed, the soldiers used the tactics of the sea of people, and finally after several hours of misery, they finally recaptured Luodian.
Because he was well aware of the importance of Luodian, Peng Shan thought that the upper part would order him to directly garrison Luodian to resist the Japanese army after that, so he began to build fortifications in the defense of Luodian City, but what he did not expect was that after receiving the order from above, he was actually asked to rush to Xinzhen and Yuepu, because there were Japanese troops preparing to attack from the river, and it was necessary to let their 11th Division defeat the enemy, while Luodian was defended by friendly troops.
In this way, Peng Shan had something to hurry to Xinzhen and Yuepu, because the troops above the river were generally more mobile troops, so it was also crucial to hold here, as long as they contained these Japanese troops, then they could not support other places, and for friendly forces, the pressure would be greatly reduced.
As the 11th Division began to fight with the Japanese troops on the river, at first the Japanese army did not think that the Chinese army was vulnerable, so they did not pay attention to this team at all, but with the passage of time, although the Japanese firepower was strong, their several counterattacks were fought back by the brothers of the 11th Division, so the battle became a confrontation.
However, at this moment, Peng Shan again received orders from above, saying that luodian friendly troops had once again fallen, and ordered him to take the main force and go to retake Luodian, while Xinzhen and Yuepu also had to divide some troops to contain the Japanese army.
Hearing this news, to tell the truth, anyone who hears it is not happy in their hearts, and the position they have won so hard has been taken back by people, but this is their own brother, who took his life in exchange! However, the order was like a mountain, and Peng Shan once again led his troops to seize Luodian.
As long as they saw that there were Chinese troops marching in the direction of Luodian, they ordered the fighters to circle and bomb, and understood that it was not easy to retake the point of retreat, Peng Shan once again formulated a perfect way of fighting, and it was necessary to retake Luodian again.
Because he considered the combat superiority of the Japanese army, and there were also fighter bombing, he set the attack time before dawn, because at this time, the sky was not very bright, the Japanese fighters could not participate in the battle, and he let the 33rd Brigade as the main attack team, and the 31st Brigade as a feint to contain the Japanese firepower.
The battle went very smoothly, and after several hours of fighting, the 33rd Brigade and the 31st Brigade retook their positions one after another, but by this time it was already dark, the Japanese planes had begun to move, and the Japanese reinforcements had arrived, and the positions that had been hard to recapture were about to be lost.
Peng Shan'er did not say a word, put up the machine gun, is to act as a daredevil, and fight with the Japanese army, the soldiers saw that their division commanders were so heroic, but also became not afraid of death, so the brothers of the 11th Division with strong will, repelled wave after wave of Japanese troops, until the arrival of friendly reinforcements.
After this battle, the 11th Division was killed and wounded more than half, and under the cover of the powerful firepower of the Japanese army, none of them retreated and adhered to the will of the battlefield, which deserves the admiration of everyone in our future generations.
