Rise from eight hundred.

Chapter 262 Guard Your Homecoming

It was two Oerlikon machine guns firing wildly.

According to the direction of the retreat route planned by Tang Dao, the two cannons hidden in the fortifications had already set their shooting angles.

When the Japanese army's lighting catapults shot into the sky, two fire teams equipped with telescopes set the scales, and aimed at the shining area, they fired wildly.

If a 20-round ammo is not enough, add another one.

Perhaps because of the distance and line of sight, the machine gun would never be able to turn the three-wheeled motorcycle of the Japanese army into a torch.

However, the terrible sound made by the friction between the cigar-thick shells and the air, as well as the dust splashed on the ground, will definitely make any soldier with a strong mind terrified.

Naturally, the Japanese were no exception. Seeing that the area less than ten meters away from him was covered with smoke and dust, the second lieutenant captain of the Japanese army, who was planning to do whatever he wanted, was the first to jump off the three-wheeled motorcycle.

"Turn off the lights! Stop firing flares!" the second lieutenant of the Japanese Army ordered anxiously.

The Chinese machine guns can find their general position in the dark for nothing more than these two reasons.

A man with a light on his body is naturally attracted attention.

It's a pity that the car lights can be turned off as soon as they are said, but the flares fired are not so easy to take back.

The flare with the small parachute still fell leisurely, and the snow-white light shone on the second lieutenant's somewhat stiff face, and then he watched with his own eyes that the motorcycle and the driver he had just jumped off in less than ten seconds were hit by a high-speed passing mechanism. Cannon shells shattered into pieces.

The Chinese are hitting their luck, but they pay nothing more than shells, while the Japanese, if they are unlucky, pay their lives.

No one is willing to turn on the headlights and continue chasing the Chinese who are not far ahead. To break the sky is to sweep a few shuttles with a light machine gun to prove that they have worked hard.

After receiving the notification from the front, the Chinese in the direction of Cangcheng used machine guns to cover them, but the Japanese commanders who were gnashing their teeth couldn't locate the general position of the Chinese machine guns.

Therefore, we can only carry out an all-round saturated bombardment again, not to mention killing all the Chinese machine guns, but suppressing them will achieve the goal.

The violent bombardment once again shrouded Cangcheng and the surrounding area in gunpowder smoke, which surprised the Chinese defenders in Songjiang City. The Japanese are trying to play exhaustion tactics! 24 hours non-stop rhythm.

Shigeru Suematsu said: Yaga, it’s not that you Chinese are too much, who the hell wants to do this, thinking that Lao Tzu’s shells don’t cost money?
"Go and call Tang Dao and ask him what the kid is doing again? Otherwise, the Japanese wouldn't be so crazy." General Guo, who was awakened by the sound of gunfire just after taking a nap in the Songjiang frontline headquarters for more than an hour, looked at the warehouse. In the direction of the city, he frowned slightly.

Although he has not been in contact with Tang Dao for a long time, he still has some understanding of Tang Dao's combat style from Xie Jinyuan's several telegram communications. Xie Jinyuan's evaluation of Tang Dao is: his son does not yet have the ability to command large-scale operations, but Commanding at the battalion and company level has very personal characteristics. He is good at laying out fortifications and sticking to it, and he is even better at surprise attacks.

If Tang Dao were here, he would definitely be a confidant of Captain Xie. After several days of fighting side by side, that top student in Huangpu had almost thoroughly analyzed his personal strengths and weaknesses.

Since Tang Dao entered the barracks, he has performed individual or unit-level tasks. Even if he was later promoted to a major, given the current international situation, Tang Dao would not have the opportunity to command a larger combat force on the stage of war.

If he hadn't come to this time and space, he might not be able to use the command science he learned at the Army University for a year.

But in this era, he has to show what he has learned in his chest on the huge and cruel stage of the Songhu Battlefield.

That is to say, not only is Tang Dao leading his soldiers in bloody battles, but he is also making progress little by little, gradually growing from a simple unit-level special forces commander to a pure infantry commander.

If Tang Dao can survive this cruel battlefield, perhaps, Colonel Xie Jinyuan who sees him again will remove the first evaluation he gave Tang Dao.

But there is no doubt that Tang Dao at this time has not completely faded his characteristics of the captain of the special forces unit. Even on such a dangerous battlefield, he lurked out of the city and slashed the Japanese army so hard that the Japanese rushed to the warehouse before dawn. A round of saturated bombardment came from the direction of the city.

Lieutenant General Guo has already realized that Tang Dao, who is "better at surprise attacks", probably did something, otherwise the Japanese would not be so crazy.

Sure enough, in less than 2 minutes, the messenger replied: "Tang Dao led an elite team to attack at night. The Japanese army pursued him closely. Cangcheng heavy firepower covered him, and the Japanese artillery retaliated against him with firepower."

"Nonsense!" General Guo slapped the table angrily. "Is this guy crazy? As the highest officer of the Cangcheng position, he actually led the troops to attack, and regarded him as the captain of the death squad? Tell Cangcheng that when Tang Dao comes back, let him go back to Songjiang immediately. Explain to Commander Wu personally."

"Hehe! Brother Guo doesn't need to be so angry!" Lieutenant General Wu who walked into the headquarters from the lounge a few minutes ago smiled slightly.

"Don't forget how this kid fought in the last battle. A newly promoted lieutenant dared to lead more than 100 people to refuse the military order of the theater command, and faced the attack of an infantry regiment alone. Persevered for a whole day.

Compared to this, it was a piece of cake for him to take the elite team to add obstacles to the Japanese.

And let's go!I'd really like to know the results of his adventurous attack this time!It just happened to let the Japanese know that my Matsue army did not plan to stay in the city and be beaten passively. They wanted to beat us, so they had to be prepared to be beaten. "

What is emotional intelligence, this is it.

Lieutenant General Wu didn't know that the old man in front of him lost his temper. In fact, he was just afraid that he would blame Tang Dao for attacking without authorization, not to mention losing his troops in vain, and causing Cangcheng to brave the Japanese artillery fire to cover him with firepower. So he took the first step to put the bad words to the front, and even set the bottom line. The biggest punishment was to remove his command right of the Cangcheng position.

It's getting angry here and there, it's purely to protect the calf, okay!

But if you think about it, Tang Dao was born in his 43th Division of the 26rd Army. If he is the commander of the army, who will he protect?
That's all right, Tang Dao is not only a lieutenant colonel today, but also a commander of an infantry battalion with the title. Unless he committed the crime of running away and occasionally lost, even if he is a lieutenant general, it is really impossible. what to do with him.

Besides, he also wanted to see what the famous commander of the Four Elements Battalion could do with a small team.

Naturally, I just pushed the boat along the way and said that I didn't mean to blame at all, but there was a slight nod in the words, I understand what you are thinking, Lao Guo.

"Since Commander Wu said so, then he is not allowed to report back to the city in person, but he still needs to report by phone. I will ask him to report the results of the night attack to Commander-in-Chief later." They are all gangsters in the officialdom Fine, General Guo is not at all embarrassed about going down the donkey.

The two lieutenant generals in the city set the tone, but Tang Dao and others were still struggling in the wilderness.

The artillery fire of the Japanese army did not stop the determination of the two machine guns to continue attacking the Japanese infantry. Even the four mortars hiding in the ring fortifications joined in and fired at the general direction of the machine guns.

The colonel fulfilled his promise, and he will guard the return of Tang Dao and others.

Some people may ask, is it worthwhile to exchange the life of dozens of infantry with these heavy firearms that are indispensable for the position?

From a purely tactical point of view, it doesn't pay off.

But soldiers are not cold machines, they have emotions.

Only those who will not abandon their comrades in arms are worthy of your side, even if they are going to death side by side.

Life will burst into dazzling brilliance.

A team without cohesion, no matter how good the equipment is given to him, the ball will be useless.

Tang Dao understands this, and so does the army colonel.

The Japanese pursuers were forced to slow down. After Tang Dao continued to detour for hundreds of meters and gradually entered the 400-meter range of Cangcheng, the Japanese had no choice but to give up.

If the chase continues, I am afraid that it is not they who are chasing and killing the Chinese, but the Chinese who fired the flares back and hit them with heavy machine guns and grenades.

The Japanese artillery, which had been raging for more than ten minutes, gradually stopped its useless shelling.

Just like what Moji Suematsu said: It doesn’t cost money to be my cannonball!
Yes, these days, the landlord's family doesn't have much food left.

The Japanese Artillery Wing, which consumed three base shells during the day, has almost bottomed out at the moment, and urgently needs follow-up supply troops to replenish.

Fight for a while longer, and if the Chinese really rush out of the city to fight them to the death, the 114th Division, which has no shells to provide fire support to the infantry, will be embarrassed.

Maybe it's not just embarrassment.

The Japanese army, which has lost its heavy firepower, is not as strong as they imagined.
