War of Resistance

Chapter 94 Shelling
The battle was still going on, and the Guizi's skirmish line began to approach the position of the second battalion of the [-]th regiment. At this time, the second battalion commander Chen Ziyu finally arrived at the position with the main force of the second battalion.

The sound of gunshots rang through the area, and bullets with hot and high temperature burst out from the muzzle, either hitting the human body, or hitting the distance, and then fell weakly.

It is said that Japan is a strong army in East Asia, and you can tell by looking at its tactics. In fact, it is no less than the elites previously trained by German consultants.

Why do you say it was before?Because the 36th Division fought back and forth for four days after participating in the Battle of Songhu, even if calculated according to the average daily casualty standard of 4000 casualties, there would be [-] casualties in four days.

You know, the pure combat soldiers of the 36th Division, counting the supplementary regiment, are more than 1 people, and the replacement of 4000 people is a replacement of one-third of the people.

Of course, this is just a conservative estimate. The real casualties should be far more than 4000.

Since the start of the war in Songhu, the 36th Division has been responsible for tackling tough tasks, and all four regiments have devoted themselves to tackling tough tasks.

It should be noted that the Japanese army stationed in Shanghai strengthened its defense in the Shanghai area, intentionally or unintentionally, after the Songhu War of Resistance in [-].For example, in addition to increasing the number of troops, an additional mountain artillery brigade and a number of anti-aircraft artillery were added.

The Japanese Army stationed in Shanghai originally had a mountain artillery brigade, and with the addition of another mountain artillery brigade, there were two mountain artillery brigades, but there were a total of 24 artillery pieces.

So how many Japanese troops are stationed in Shanghai?The original Marine Corps, plus the soldiers temporarily recalled from the Japanese expatriate area, plus the Third Mine Squadron, the Eighth Mine Squadron, and the troops that were urgently transferred from other towns, were only more than [-].

There are more than [-] people, which is really not big in the Japanese army. If you do the math, it is also a simplified version of the three-unit division.

In the Chinese army, it would be a whole division.

Just imagine that if a division of the Chinese army is equipped with two artillery battalions, coupled with the reinforcement of various weapons such as grenade launchers, mortars, etc., it can definitely be regarded as a first-class trump card.

This kind of firepower configuration, even compared to the veteran German elites such as the 87th and 88th divisions, is only strong but not weak.

The Japanese defense areas were mainly divided into three areas, except for the Yangshupu Huishan Wharf area, the Gongda Spinning Factory and the Hongkou area.

Judging from the normal situation of this era, a regiment of the Japanese army can beat up a division of the national army and flee in embarrassment. The 36th Division, 87th Division, and 88th Division, which are from the National Guard system, can fight in the Shanghai area. It is not bad that the Japanese army was disgraced.

The key is that the Japanese are still hiding behind thick bunkers, which is the most difficult to fight.You know, the current National Government does not have such a heavy howitzer with a 150-caliber caliber, which can blast away the bunker fortifications of the Japanese army.

Fortunately, the soldiers all knew that this battle was a battle for the survival of the Chinese nation, so morale was very high, and they did not flinch when they fought.

In the face of the Japanese army coming in like a wave, the officers and soldiers of the second battalion did not show any timidity, and began to fight under the command of the commander.

"Damn little devil, I'll fuck your ancestors!"

It was an ordinary-looking machine gunner, and there was no trace of fear on his face blackened by gunpowder smoke. On the contrary, his eyes were full of hatred.

How many days have passed, have you counted the brothers who died at the hands of this group of Japanese invaders?One company was crippled, and immediately removed the reinforcements, and then another company made up for it.

The smoke of the beacon fires in the sky seems to be paying homage to the heroic spirits who have passed away.

The sound of guns that shook the world seemed to be writing about the brutality of a war, and the brave Chinese sons and daughters who fought bravely for the survival of the country.

The tongues of Maxim's heavy machine guns were extending forward, and the bullets were roaring and roaring, flying towards the enemy who was attacking in front.

Japanese invaders hit by heavy machine guns are either dead or disabled!

The Japanese attack was once again frustrated!

Seeing this scene in the binoculars, Colonel Takeshita was stunned. This was his fourth attack today. If he couldn't get in again, he would face suicide by cutting his belly.

"The order goes on, the troops in the front, stop the attack! The artillery fires! Fire! Blast all these stupid Chinese people to death!!?" ​​Takeshita soldier roared.

"Hay!" A signal soldier responded.

The camera turned back to the front enemy observation post of the [-]th Regiment.

Seeing that the Japanese army stopped attacking, Zhang Tianhai immediately felt that something was wrong. He immediately turned to Xiong Xinmin and said, "Old sir, quickly withdraw the second battalion, the devils are going to bombard it!"

Xiong Xinmin agreed, and immediately said to the guards around him, "Quick! Run over as fast as you can, and let the second battalion withdraw!!"

"Yes, sir!" The guard stood at attention and saluted, hurriedly running to the front.

"Yulin, it would be great if you could transfer our [-] regiment." Xiong Xinmin sighed softly. For him, it was still easier for his old subordinates.

Zhang Tianhai laughed and said: "The old chief is joking, the group seat should not let people go."

Xiong Xinmin nodded silently, and said, "Well, yes, your temper is very much to the appetite of Captain Hu. If I go to your [-]th regiment to be a dignitary, I guess your regiment will directly slam me out..."

Zhang Tianhai smiled and said, "Sir, we are no longer there. Our first battalion is stationed next to your [-] regiment, and we should take care of each other when we have something to do."

After saying this, everyone quickly turned their attention back to the battlefield.

I saw that the guard next to Commander Xiong was still running very fast. It could be seen that he was running as hard as he could—there was no way to do it. Human life was in the air, and he was the main force of a battalion. Hundreds of people.

"The second battalion commander, the second battalion commander, the regiment seat... The regiment seat has an order to withdraw from the position immediately!" said the guard panting.

Chen Ziyu shouted to the brothers around him without hesitation: "Brothers, withdraw! Quickly withdraw!"

Sure enough, less than half a minute after Chen Ziyu's second battalion left the position, the Japanese artillery fire arrived on schedule, including the original artillery squadron of the Takeshita Regiment, but a full sixteen artillery firepower greeted it.

"Boom!!!"

"Boom!!!"

"Boom!!!"

The artillery shells hit the ground, a cloud of dust, shredded shells and flames.

Seeing this scene, both Chen Ziyu, Xiong Xinmin and the others secretly broke out in cold sweats, and at the same time they couldn't help but feel fortunate: Fortunately, this order was given in time.
