Temporary workers in the war

The cruiser "Tatsuta", the aircraft carriers "Kaga" and "Fengxiang" were bombed and sunk, and the flagship of the Japanese Navy's Third Fleet, the Izumo, was also injured by a diving squadron of the [-]th Route Army. The news spread to Japan, and the whole of Japan Shocked; and because of the labor and mobilization of the crowd, the war is difficult to resolve quickly.

For this reason, on the 23rd, the Japanese cabinet meeting decided to dispatch army reinforcements quickly.Therefore, the General Staff Headquarters decided to establish the Shanghai Expeditionary Army Headquarters. The former Tanaka Cabinet Minister Shirakawa Yoshinori replaced Ueda, and the No. 11 Division of Lieutenant General Atsushi Atsutaro, Lieutenant General Naoaki Matsuki No. 14 Division and aircraft More than 100 planes came to China in order to launch a larger-scale attack in Shanghai.

In this way, with the original mixed brigade dispatched by Major General Kumaya Shimomoto and the Ninth Division of Lieutenant General Kenkichi Ueda, after three reinforcements, the Japanese army in Shanghai under the command of Shirakawa has more than 7 troops, 80 warships, With 300 aircraft, the combat power has increased sharply.At that time, the total strength of the Chinese garrison was less than 5, and the equipment was poor. After a month of hard work, the casualties were relatively serious. The river defense in the Liuhe area of ​​​​Taicang on the left was very weak.Bai Chuan learned the lessons of the failure of the frontal attack by the previous three commanders, and decided to land from the Liuhe flank, attacking the Songhu defenders from both sides.

Liuhe Town is located in the east of Taicang City, Jiangsu Province, about 15 kilometers away from the urban area.It faces Chongming Island across the river to the east, and borders Shanghai Baoshan and Jiading Districts on the south. It is the second gateway to the Yangtze Estuary, an important market town along the river in Taicang City, and the largest fishery base in Jiangsu Province.Historically, it was the sea port in the Jiangnan area, an important port for foreign trade in ancient times.Zheng He, the navigator of the Ming Dynasty, commanded the Ming Fleet to make voyages to the West, and lifted anchor from Liujiagang seven times. It is known as the "No. [-] Wharf in the World".At the same time, Liuhe is also the hometown of Wu Jianxiong, the granddaughter-in-law of Yuan Shikai, a Chinese nuclear physicist and "Madame Curie of the East", and Zhu Qizhan, a famous centenarian painter.

Feng Quan approached He Yingqin, Minister of Military and Political Affairs, and wanted to discuss the defense of Liuhe.At this time, the entire Songhu battlefield was under his command. He Yingqin had never seen Feng Quan, and besides, he was too busy. Just about to blow Feng Quan out, the adjutant next to him told him softly that Feng Quan was sinking the Japanese cruiser "Longtian" ", the hero of the aircraft carriers "Kaga" and "Hosho".

He Yingqin immediately let Feng Quan into the small conference room. He was very shrewd. It was no secret to people of his level that Chen Cheng relied on the ammunition and gold and silver treasures brought by Feng Quan from the northeast to make a fortune.He also wanted to get some credit, but the difference in strength between the two armies was too great. Although he had won one or two small victories, he was already battered and had no good way to deal with the increasing number of Japanese troops.

"Mr. He, you are so busy, so I will make a long story short. According to investigations, Japanese reinforcements are going to land in Liuhe, Taicang. How about asking Mr. He to leave it to me? I am confident that I can hold it." Feng Quan said directly what he wanted .

"What? Little Japan plans to land there. If it fails, there is only one regiment there. Little brother, how many of you are there?" He Yingqin turned pale when he heard that. Feng's whole body.

"We have a total of centurions, each with one person, which is equivalent to a company. There are 1 180-caliber mortars and 1 m180 heavy machine guns."

The speaker has no intention, but the listener has the intention, "Damn! The firepower is too powerful, and the equipment is better than one of our German weapon finishing masters, and the other two masters are not as good as you. No, we can't let this kid go with Chen Cheng Get too close, win him over."

"Hehe, I'm relieved to leave the position to you. After this battle, please come to my house and let's have a good chat. The war is urgent, you go quickly." Someone shared his worries and gave him credit. He Yingqin was very happy joy.

. . .

Feng Quan had already made careful preparations, and the position did not need too many people to defend, and it could not be defended purely.The Eleventh Division is a Class A division of the Imperial Japanese Army. It was one of the 17 standing divisions of the Japanese army before the outbreak of World War II, with more than 16000 people, well-equipped and strong combat effectiveness.

"Hurry up, Little Japan's No.11 Division is coming soon." Feng Quan is directing his friends and a regiment that was defending here to make a big killer. I believe it will definitely give Little Japan an unforgettable memory.

The unconscionable cannon is the Feilei cannon, and the Feilei is a homemade weapon created by the People's Liberation Army.He also has a more famous name - Heartless Cannon.During the War of Liberation, the People's Liberation Army had very few artillery pieces. When the weapons and equipment were at a disadvantage, the officers and soldiers created a frightening weapon—an explosive package launcher with a gasoline barrel as the barrel.The main body of this weapon, also known as an explosive projectile, is an empty gasoline barrel. After filling the propellant in it, put the explosive package bundled into a disc shape into it, and then ignite the propellant, and the explosive package can be projected to zero. at a distance of about meters.The firing principle is similar to that of a mortar, which also follows a curve instead of a straight line.

The short range of the "unconscionable cannon" is no longer a problem. In Feng Quan's eyes, I am afraid that this kind of ugly guy is more satisfactory than Katyusha-the Katyusha bm-13 rocket launcher has a caliber of only 132mm, and it is not at all Can't drag up the mountain, what about "unconscionable guns"?With a caliber of 300 mm, it can be drilled by digging a hole. . .To make a "conscientious cannon", as long as there are gasoline barrels and yellow explosive packs, it is enough.

Feng Quan asked He Yingqin for gasoline barrels with a diameter of 0 cm and a length of 50 cm, and made a heavy gun with a caliber of more than 90 mm, which was as powerful as a naval gun.Feng Quan packed all high-explosive yellow explosives and some incendiary agents removed from some incendiary bombs.

It is conceivable how surprised the Japanese army on the opposite side would be when the Chinese army suddenly fired a row of weird things like "unconscionable cannons"!It will definitely be suspected that it has been attacked by accurate large-caliber artillery shells fired from tens of kilometers in depth.It seems that Little Japan may have been beaten, but I don't know how.

The "thunder" was originally heard from the east.Soon, the same sound was heard from the north and west, and there were many explosive packages in the sky. They were flying, rolling, and roaring, drawing terrifying tracks in the air, and then falling densely. Come down, hit the half-crossed Japanese army head-on.The cunning Japanese army wanted to sneak attack on the rear of the army, thinking that no one would know, the team was very dense, a large area densely packed.

A heartless cannon was born!Hit halfway!Feng Quan and his friends happily pointed at the Japanese army with their binoculars, while the Japanese soldiers next to them looked at them with adoring eyes, their eyes full of little stars. . .

Instinctively, Little Japan fell to the ground one by one.At the same time, a violent explosion accompanied by a raging fire began.Shock waves raged, and the bomb crater seemed to become a small dice cup on the gambling table under the constant explosion, everything was turned upside down.

The ferry was almost blown to the ground, and after an unknown amount of time, the shaking ground finally calmed down.There were no bones of the Japanese soldiers in the center of the explosion, and the ground farther away was full of corpses. Most of them had no blood on the outside, and they were obviously killed by the shock wave.The ground was in a mess, the snow had melted, and the soil was blown fluffy. The sleeping snakes and mice were also shaken out of the ground, lying strangely among the broken bricks and rubble.The plowed soil was mixed with splintered wood, tattered military uniforms, and even unexploded explosives.

0 unconscionable cannons, each firing three waves in a row, based on the calculation of 30 kilograms of high explosives thrown by each cannon, Feng Quan led this "heavy artillery division" to the small Japanese No. The 10th Division projected 11 kilograms of explosives, and an average of more than one kilogram of explosives was spread per square meter, not to mention some incendiary agents were mixed in. One can imagine the effect.

The Japanese Third Fleet was also affected, turned around and ran away, hehe, "The enemy has a heavy artillery division with hundreds of 300mm large-caliber heavy artillery!"

"Without the protection of naval guns, let's see how I will deal with the rest of you little devils! I will play you to death."

From that day onwards, the various courts, ministries, and councils of the Nationalist Government began to move to Luoyang (they moved back at the end of the year), but the Military Commission and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs stayed in Nanjing, and at the same time ordered the front troops to be jointly commanded by Minister of Military and Political Affairs He Yingqin and Chief of Staff Zhu Peide.
