Age of Rebirth

After Tang Qiusheng received the order, he immediately led the troops to rush to the Shanghai area. He learned from the telegram from his chief of staff, Chang Feng, that the current defense of the urban area of ​​Shanghai and its surrounding areas is being undertaken by the troops of the Sulu Mobile Corps. The two regiments of the Jiangsu Provincial Security Forces had already disappeared when they heard the sound of the Japanese cannonballs. General Zhang Zhizhong was so angry that he sent a military law team to chase them down the road, vowing to bring the heads of the two security regiments to justice on the spot.

The reinforcements from the three divisions of the Central Army will not arrive until tomorrow morning at the earliest. It can be said that on the first day of the August [-]th Battle in Shanghai, General Zhang Zhizhong commanded troops from independent divisions. Shanghai Municipal Police Force.

On the first day of the war, the Japanese Marine Corps, with more than [-] troops, based on the preset position in Hongkou District, fired at the Chinese police force guarding the Songhu Railway Tiantongan Station to Yokohama Road, and walked along Baoshan Road under the cover of tanks. The offensive and the defensive organization along Baoshan Road were the troops of the Second Brigade of the Sulu Mobile Corps of the Independent Division.

The soldiers of the third battalion of the first regiment were lying calmly behind the fortifications. The battalion commander Zhao Zitong sent someone to contact the Chinese police force and told them to evacuate the position immediately after a little resistance. I saw that the police force in Shanghai didn't even have a heavy machine gun. With the weapons in their hands, they couldn't resist the attack of the Japanese marines. [

But the police captain who led the team sent one of his men to reply, thanking the independent brothers for their kindness. They received the order from Commander Zhang Zhizhong to firmly hold this position until the arrival of reinforcements. The only way for the Japanese to pass here is to step on us. Otherwise, as long as there is one person left, we will fight to the end.

Zhao Zitong was silent for a long time. He understood the thoughts of the police force and was moved by their determination to die. However, strength cannot be changed by a passion. objects of massacre.

However, he is also very clear that it is impossible for the police force to withdraw, and the defensive position over there is very narrow. If a battalion goes up, it cannot be opened at all. Instead, it will be killed by Japanese firepower. As a grassroots member of the independent division Commander, he learned this principle on the first day he joined the army.

After careful consideration, he could not just watch his brothers die. The only way was to strengthen their firepower. He decided to form a reinforced platoon with heavy firepower to resist the Japanese attack together with the police force. In this way, the police force could be taken care of Their enthusiasm can also enhance their strength. This task is very dangerous. The defensive position of the police force is completely exposed to the firepower of the Japanese army.

To his surprise, the number of fighters who signed up almost exceeded a reinforced company, and all of them were experts in their own battalion. In the end, eighty fighters were selected to form a super luxurious reinforced platoon, carrying four Anti-tank guns, eight mortars, six heavy machine guns, twelve light machine guns, and the rest carried Suomi submachine guns, and three snipers were specially brought along, led by the deputy battalion commander himself.

Originally, Zhao Zitong wanted to lead the team himself, but he didn't snatch the deputy battalion commander. He watched 81 brothers pass through the billowing smoke and disappeared in front of him. The Type [-] heavy machine gun was firing, and his heart also flew there.

When the deputy battalion commander arrived, the police force was in a tight situation. The Japanese Type [-] heavy machine guns and crooked light machine guns fought like a storm, and the sandbags were peeled off layer by layer. The Czech style, as soon as a clip was shot, it was blasted into the sky by a few mortars from the Japanese. The flesh and blood of the machine gunner mixed with machine gun parts turned into a rain of blood.

The Hubei police and Hanyang made in the hands of the police were not the opponents of the Japanese army at all, and they were suppressed so that they could not hold their heads up. The mortars of the Japanese army blasted the hidden brothers to the sky from time to time. The battle took less than 10 minutes. The brothers have already suffered nearly two hundred casualties. If things go on like this, in less than two hours, the more than 400 people in my hand will be exhausted. The captain of the police is blind, but he can do nothing.

The guys in his hands are not as good as others. At this time, he regretted that he didn't listen to the words of other field troops and retreated to their defense line. He is an expert, and his brothers are not doing this job. Seeing the Japanese army with superior firepower Under the cover of the soldiers, they were dressed in blue military uniforms, and rushed towards them like sewage, but the brothers couldn't even raise their heads, let alone raise their guns to shoot.

He broke out in a sweat, and suddenly felt that someone was pulling his clothes from behind. Looking back, a young officer with the rank of major was gesturing to him. The military uniform was obviously different from the common uniform of the Central Army, and he couldn't care too much about it. As long as it is the squadron, at this moment, it is a savior.

He saw that the dozens of people who followed the major skillfully used various concealed objects in the rain of the Japanese army to approach the forward position skillfully. The soldiers, as if they didn't see it, spread out along the fortifications in a skirmish line. Everyone's position was the only way for the Japanese army to charge.

The captain of the police took a deep breath, raised his heart, and fell into his stomach. They are the troops that can fight. Seeing the quality of these soldiers, his brothers are simply incomparable. Taking advantage of this gap, he knows Which part of the troops came to reinforce, gratefully held the deputy battalion commander's hand, speechless, he was saving the lives of himself and hundreds of brothers under him!

The soldiers of the third battalion stabbed the policemen who were holding guns, curled up, trying to minimize the target, and handed over the three grenades in their hands. Only then did these policemen realize that at some point, there were many more people wearing strange military uniforms around them. The soldier was smiling and jokingly looking at him, and the policemen suddenly felt a little embarrassed, and let them touch their side. If this is a Japanese devil, can he still save his life?

The soldiers in the third battalion were showing their love, and these policemen realized that the purpose of giving them grenades was to wait for the Japanese devils to approach and throw them out. He fired the grenade and listened carefully to the movement behind him, but he couldn't hear anything except the devil's storm-like machine guns?

Looking at the soldiers around him, their eyes were half-closed, as if they were about to fall asleep, and their hearts couldn't help beating wildly, as if they heard the sound of countless Japanese leather shoes stepping on the ground, sounding behind them. About to throw the grenade, a powerful big hand tightly grasped his wrist. The soldier's eyes became more playful.

The soldiers of the third battalion were all staring at the deputy battalion commander commanding on the third floor. His order was the signal everyone cast. There were also three snipers there, who were dedicated to dealing with the commander of the Japanese army and the soldiers of the independent division. I'm used to fighting this kind of battle, and I don't even feel my heart beating. This is the first time I'm on the battlefield, and the police who fought with the Japanese army with real knives and guns didn't know it.

It took only a few minutes, and it seemed like a long few days, the small red flag of the deputy battalion commander's grenade suddenly waved, and almost at the same time, the soldiers of the third battalion moved the two grenades in their hands to the back at the same time. Throw out, followed by two more grenades thrown with a delay of a few seconds. This is the minimum training subject for ordinary soldiers of the Independent Division. Standard, some masters can throw three thunders with one hand in reverse for more than 20 meters, of course, that is a very small number of freaks.

Only then did the police react, and hurriedly threw out the grenades. On the Baoshan Road, which was only more than 20 meters wide, 200 soldiers from the Independent Division, plus more than 500 surviving policemen, had more than [-] grenades, and they were produced by the Dingbian Arsenal. The high-explosive grenade with added ingredients, after the explosion, not only can kill the enemy, but the hundreds of small steel balls in the body are even more deadly Hades.

A group of Japanese troops from the Japanese Marine Corps, howling and charging, was immediately hit by a devastating blow. They had rushed to a distance of less than 20 meters from the position. Come, immediately, there was a rumbling sound, and pieces of steel balls flew horizontally, steel balls as thin as rice grains, briskly penetrated into the bodies of the Japanese soldiers, and some of them penetrated into their eyes. [

Especially the grenades that exploded in the air, the steel balls penetrated the helmets, and almost all of them got into their heads. More than 1000 Japanese marines were able to turn around and flee back, but only more than 200 people were all injured. However, this is Japan People's thoughts, the sound of intensive submachine gun shooting sounded behind them, the backs of the surviving Japanese soldiers were almost smashed to pieces, and a large group of Japanese soldiers survived, all lying bloody and bloody on the bare concrete road. The pungent smell of gunpowder smoke.

The sudden blow stunned the frontline commanders of the Japanese army. The squadron, which had been under pressure and beating, suddenly showed its ferocious fangs and swallowed up more than 1000 elite warriors of the Japanese Empire in one bite. The unexpected change temporarily short-circuited his brain.

The more than 1000 bloody soldier corpses stimulated him to wake up quickly and howled. This was an unacceptable result for him. He ordered the artillery squadron to bombard the position of the Chinese army. At the same time, he used a sharp weapon. A tank roared up, followed by a large group of Japanese marines.

While the Japanese commander was absent-minded, the small red flag in the hands of the deputy battalion commander swung rapidly, and the soldiers of the third battalion pulled up the stunned policemen around them, rushed out of the position, and ran to the next line of defense Go, this kind of battle, the soldiers of the Independent Division have all fought hard. Knowing that the Japanese have suffered a loss, they must be retaliated by fierce bombardment, so they are not foolishly waiting to be bombed!

The soldiers and policemen on the front line had just left the position when the position was covered by the artillery fire of the Japanese army. The sound of the explosion was not only the mortar, but also the Type [-] infantry artillery. The sandbags were blown to pieces, raising dust all over the sky. Crazy, even the houses on both sides were bombarded by dozens of shells for a whole hour. The original position has disappeared, and the hard concrete road is full of holes.
