Facing the Japanese fortress, the Nationalist Army first rushed one squad at a time, but if they couldn't get through, they rushed one at a time. When they got close, they used grenades to greet them. Just when they were getting better, the Japanese fleet, which had been silent for a long time, spoke.
Take the Izumo as an example. It has 4 203mm heavy guns, 14 152mm rapid-fire guns, and 12 76mm rapid-fire guns. However, these guns exceed the 8th regiment of the best-equipped artillery in China.
The Japanese 3rd Fleet also has many cruisers, destroyers, and gunboats. The entire fleet has very powerful firepower.
The Japanese fleet fired a salvo, and hundreds of artillery shells flew over the sky. An area of 1 or 2 kilometers was covered by artillery fire, completely covering the offensive route of the National Army with a hail of bullets. The casualties of the National Army rose rapidly for a while.
Huang Meixing, commander of the 264th Brigade of the 88th Division, was commanding at the front line of Chizhi University. He looked at the combat map and smiled and said, "Not bad, not bad. We have captured 12 bunkers in the past four hours."
The staff officer next to him nodded but said worriedly, "But we also suffered a lot of casualties, including four company commanders alone."
Huang Meixing sighed, "It's like attacking a fortress. But looking at this speed, we can end the battle in two days at most. These little devils only have so much ability. If they encounter our German weapon masters, they will be completely defeated."
Order!!"
The staff officer immediately took out paper and pen to prepare notes.
But I heard a whine.
Huang Meixing was startled and looked towards the sky, only to see an earth-shattering explosion in front of him. At this time, a 203 naval gun shell hit the command post. How could this ordinary house withstand such a shell? Huang Meixing and Thirty
Several communications platoon soldiers were killed on the spot.
——Nanxiang Command
Zhang Zhizhong looked nervously at the changing map. A staff officer came in and said, "Report!"
Zhang Zhizhong waved his hand and said, "Read it!"
The staff officer said, "The Japanese Third Fleet shelled our positions and our forward troops suffered heavy casualties. It has been determined that the 88th Division suffered 1,800 casualties and the 87th Division suffered 1,500 casualties. Brigadier Huang Meixing was hit by shelling and died on the spot. 10 members of the 527th Regiment of the Forward
Seven company commanders have been killed."
Zhang Zhizhong was so frightened by such figures that he dropped his pen and exclaimed, "What? Why are there so many casualties?"
Chief of Staff Xu Pegeng said, "There is nothing we can do about it. What we are fighting now is to attack the enemy. The Japanese have prepared well in advance. However, now we have basically captured all the outer positions, but the battles ahead will probably be tough. The enemy
The threat from the naval guns is too great for us, and our heavy artillery does not dare to get too close when threatened by the naval guns. Now we have to fire a few shots and then move our position, which greatly reduces our firepower."
Zhang Zhizhong hammered hard and said, "These damn battleships, we have to find a way to knock them off."
——Concession
Looking at the battle report from the Qing Gang, Jiang Cheng and others couldn't help but shake their heads.
Yu Yishan asked curiously, "Why not blast all the way? It would be too difficult to fight with human lives."
Jiang Cheng replied, "It's very simple. There aren't that many explosives, and the army doesn't know how. It doesn't take much to blow up a wall, but if you blow it all the way, you'll need a lot of explosives. And blasting is a technical job, unlike bombing."
If you add too many bunkers, you will blow up the wall. If you add too many, the house will collapse. If you add too few, the house will not be able to be blown open. We don’t have that many professionals in the army."
Huang Huangrong looked into the distance and said, "Grandma, this little devil's cannon is so powerful."
Jiang Cheng sighed, "If we don't get rid of the battleships, our battle losses will be too great."
Wang Yong nodded and said, "My boss is right. How about I take a few brothers to drill with iron? I just don't know if the bottom of a ship as big as theirs is easy to drill."
Jiang Cheng almost laughed at his words.
Yu Yishan and Li Qian were already laughing so hard that Li Qian laughed loudly and said, "Man Niu, you better save yourself, have you ever seen a battleship?"
Wang Yong touched his head and said, "I don't think our fishing boat is bigger. It shouldn't be difficult."
Jiang Cheng shook his head and thought about something secretly, and said to Yu Yishan, "Yishan, it's too dangerous here. You'd better leave Shanghai as soon as possible."
Yu Yishan pouted and said, "If you don't leave, I won't leave either. Besides, these brothers are still here. I have to teach them."
Jiang Cheng didn't know what she was thinking. After some persuasion, Yu Yishan simply covered her ears and closed her eyes to show that she didn't want to listen. Jiang Cheng helplessly said to Li Qian, "You guys have been practicing water skills recently. I'll go out for a few days to think of a solution."
"
At this time, Lin Guisheng came up cursing, and Jiang Cheng quickly asked, "Sister Guisheng, what's wrong?"
Lin Guisheng cursed, "These damn foreign devils, for fear of bringing the war into the concession, actually built walls on all the exits, mounted heavy machine guns on them to face the Chinese outside the concession, and would shoot if they dared to break in.
It is said that in some places foreign devils have threatened to shoot."
Yu Yishan suddenly stood up in anger, "This is China, how can they do this?"
Huang Huangrong took a sip of tea and said, "It's normal. How do these foreign devils really regard us as human beings? I have opened my big world to allow refugees to take refuge. Alas, the people who suffer the most in the war are the ordinary people."
When Jiang Cheng heard that the concession was blocked, what he was most worried about was whether Li Qian and the others could go out to command the troops, so he asked, "Li Qian, if they are all blocked, will you guys be able to get out?"
Lin Guisheng immediately replied, "Don't worry, it's very easy for you to go out, but unless you are a foreigner, you are not allowed to come in."
Jiang Cheng felt relieved now.
Jiang Cheng couldn't bear to see China's most elite troops being beaten passively like this, and was going to go back to modern times to ask Qin Tianlin for something to take good care of the Third Fleet.
At this time, not only Shanghai, but also an earth-shattering war was going on in the north.
The south entrance is located at the intersection of the Yanshan Mountains and the Taihang Mountains 45 kilometers northwest of Beiping City. It is an important pass of the Great Wall on the south side of Juyongguan and the gateway from Peiping to the northwest. The terrain in this area is complex, with high mountains and overlapping passes. It is the gateway to the northwest.
The main transportation line in North and Northeast China. By guarding the south entrance, we can prevent the Japanese invaders from occupying Chahar Province, and then divide their forces into Shanxi and Sui, thereby protecting the three provinces of Chahar, Shanxi, and Sui.
The original garrison here was the 143rd Division of the 29th Army. After the fall of Peiping, Liu Ruming of the 143th Division finally stopped blocking Tang Enbo's 13th Army after receiving Song Zheyuan's resignation letter and Chiang Kai-shek's title of commander of the 68th Army.
Tens of thousands of Central Army troops who were waiting eagerly arrived at the south entrance to set up defenses.
At this time, not far away, the newly arrived Japanese Fifth Division was slowly approaching the south entrance.
Tang Enbo graduated from the Japanese Military Academy. He knew the Japanese army very well. After being appointed as the commander-in-chief of the former enemy, he immediately calculated the forces in his hands. Only his Thirteenth Army could be trusted, and the Tenth Army was the only one he could trust.
The Seventh Army was just reorganized from the Shaanxi Army's Gao Guizi Division, the 68th Army was the remnants of the 29th Army, and the 35th Army was Fu Zuoyi's unit, which was trustworthy, but it couldn't be transferred out of Shanxi, so it was really difficult to fight.
At this time, a burst of fast footsteps came. When Tang Enbo saw it, it was the annoying Liu Ruming. He couldn't help but said, "What's going on, Commander Liu? Why are you in such a hurry?"
Liu Ruming threw away his military cap and said, "Mr. Tang, it's not that I, Old Liu, are afraid of death. Why do we not have air force support? I heard that all the planes have flown south. What does this mean? Your Southern Central Army is a treasure. We
Are the local armies just made of grass and worthless? What does Chairman Chiang mean by this?"
Tang Enbo was the most loyal to Chiang's intermediary. It can be said that his status was based on his loyalty to Chiang's intermediary. When he heard Liu Ruming speak nonsense to Chiang's intermediary, he angrily said, "Liu Ruming! What do you mean by this? Do you doubt the appointment? This is the anti-Japanese period.
, what do you want to do if you return the points to the local army and the central army? If you don’t dare to fight, take off your uniform and go home. I’ll let the 17th Army go. How come the Northwest Army has people like you who are greedy for life and afraid of death?
?”
Liu Ruming suddenly said anxiously, "Who is afraid of death? During the Great Wall War, I was wounded in three places without saying a word. But now we don't even have any planes. The Japanese have as many planes as birds. How can we fight?"
Tang Enbo looked at Liu Ruming coldly. He understood in his heart that where he did not dare to fight, he was clearly unwilling to fight. The expanded 68th Army of the 143rd Division had not received any supplements. Liu Ruming was unwilling to use his troops to fight the Japanese.
Tang Enbo thought about the telegram issued by Chiang Kai-shek to fight a war in the north and show the Chinese people that the Central Army was resisting the war. He said coldly, "You ask your people to withdraw from the south entrance to Zhangjiakou. I will guard the south entrance. I will let 17
The army is guarding Chicheng on the left wing, so you can rest peacefully at Zhangjiakou in the middle."
When Liu Ruming heard this, he said seriously, "What are you talking about? Brothers are working hard in the front, and I don't dare to sleep in the back. What I mean is that I hope Mr. Tang can contact the committee to give us some air force assistance. It's really not possible."
You can also use the anti-aircraft machine gun."
Tang Enbo thought that it would take some time to cooperate with him, so he said, "I will contact the chairman of the committee, but if there is an air force to fight, we will fight if there is no air force. Your troops should retreat to Zhangjiakou and defend your hometown."
After waving his hand, he asked people to see him off.
Liu Ruming angrily scolded the person next to him, "What the hell, it's just a dog of Jiang's agent. I want to see what he is capable of."
Tang Enbo took the time to arrange his troops. As soon as the troops were deployed, Japanese fighter planes swarmed in.
Seishiro Itagaki, together with Satoshi Ishihara, is known as the Courage of Itagaki in the Japanese army. Today he is the commander of the Fifth Division and the commander-in-chief of the attack on the south entrance.
Seishiro Itagaki had shown disdain for the Chinese army since September 18, and directly ordered his troops to storm the south entrance.
Guarding the south entrance is the 89th Division, with a total of four regiments.
The first line is the 529th Regiment guarding Longhu Terrace.
The regiment leader Luo Fanggui was a top student in the fourth phase of Huangpu. He inspected the position and looked at the soldiers who were digging fortifications. He looked at the Japanese position in the distance and sighed, "Although we are guarding the dangerous position, our firepower is too weak. Let's start a fight."
It’s still a number of five to five.”
There are only more than 60 Nationalist artillery pieces in the entire south entrance direction, including all the mortars.
The seventh company commander next to him was a strong man. He said with a smile, "What are you afraid of? If the Japanese dare to come, I will use my machine gun to shoot them all."
Luo Fanggui smiled and said, "Lin Qing, that's all. You are on the front line and must hold on tight."
Itagaki Seishiro didn't give Luo Fangui much time. More than 70 field guns announced the start of the battle immediately. Although they were at a high place, looking at the mortars in their hands, Luo Fangui could only grit his teeth and give up.
**The plan to fight.
Lin Qing squatted in the trench with a pistol, listening to the sound of artillery and cursing, "Grandma, artillery shells are free, why haven't we finished yet?"
Seeing that the fortifications he had just built were being blown up bit by bit, Lin Qing said anxiously, "This won't work. Brothers, follow me and evacuate carefully. We will come back after the little devil's artillery fire." He said cautiously.
Slowly crawling towards the back.
When he was out of the range of the artillery fire, Lin Qing took a breath and cursed, "The kid's cannons are really fierce. They have more bullets than my machine gun."
When the artillery fire stopped a little, Lin Qing quickly rushed back with his people. The already messed up position did not attract Lin Qing's attention. Twenty or thirty tanks that were squeaking and climbing up the mountain road were completely exhausted.
It attracted everyone's attention. The most terrible thing was that it was not the tiny little bean sprout, but a 57-gun Type 89 medium-sized tank.
Not only did he see it, Luo Fanggui also saw these iron monsters. He quickly asked the only combat anti-cannon in his army to fire at the tank.
But the more anxious he became, the more he missed. Luo Fanggui almost drew his gun and fired at the gunner. Finally, a shell hit the tank, and he saw that the tank was carried away by the impact of the shell.
Tilted to one side.
Lin Qing waved his hand and said with a smile, "Well done. Keep going."
Before he could smile happily, he saw the tank start to drive staggeringly again.
The frontal armor of the 89 tank was 17mm, and the 37-mm cannon at a distance of 600 meters had no effect on it. However, Luo Fanggui really couldn't do it if he had to risk the only combat cannon to move forward at the risk of being covered by Japanese artillery fire.
Lin Qing also knew that it was impossible to block so many tanks with this cannon. He said to the surrounding soldiers, "Don't be afraid, everyone. Have you seen the four sides of the tortoise's cover? There are holes all around.
It is used by the Japanese for shooting. Everyone will follow me and rush down to block the shooting openings. The machine gunners will beat me hard and pin all the Japanese infantrymen behind me."
As the Japanese tanks slowly drove into the valley, the anti-aircraft artillery finally showed its power once, knocking a Type 89 to the ground. Seeing the opportunity, the Seventh Company Commander shouted, "Brothers, charge at me!"
!" After saying that, he took a grenade in his left hand and a shell gun in his right hand and rushed down.
When the Japanese tank soldiers saw what a good opportunity they had, they quickly stopped the vehicle and started shooting. One soldier after another was knocked to the ground by the machine gun. Lin Qing watched his brothers fall next to him one by one and shouted, "Don't stop, rush for me."
!!”
The mountain road was narrow, and the Japanese tanks were lined up one after another. In addition, the machine guns on both sides of the hillside opened fire at the same time, blocking the following infantry behind the tanks. They were actually approached by soldiers from the Seventh Company.
After paying more than 30 lives, the soldiers of the Seventh Company finally rushed to the side of the tank. The commander of the Seventh Company rolled to the side of the tank, put a grenade at the firing port, and then fired several shots inside.
The other soldiers followed suit with guns and grenades. When they got anxious, they chopped with knives and smashed with their fists. They surrounded the tanks in front and beat them. The Japanese soldiers behind saw the Nationalists acting like lunatics and were frightened for a moment.
They retreated, leaving only six tanks with all their crews dead on the mountain road.
Lin Qing gasped and said, "What a bastard, you haven't been defeated by us yet. How many of you are there? If you are angry, give me one back."
At this time, the Japanese artillery fire began to cover them again. Lin Qing and others ran back to the fortifications in a rolling and crawling manner. At last count, the two platoons that went out only returned less than thirty people.
Lin Qing looked at the company that was missing more than half, and at the Japanese troops all over the mountains and plains in the distance. He swallowed his saliva and gritted his teeth and yelled, "I can't live anymore. It's too late. We will die and we will die for tens of thousands of years. Brothers, give it to me."
withstand!!"
The Japanese offensive continued.
——Nanjing
Agent Jiang nodded while looking at Tang Enbo's battle report and said, "Keqin is good. He has shown the character of our Chinese soldiers. Especially this Luo Fangui, he has shown the might of our Huangpu army."
Bai Chongxi admired from the side, "This Luo Fangui is indeed good. It's really rare for a regiment to still hold on after half of them were killed. However, I doubt that the Japanese army will send a large number of reinforcements. After all, there are only 10,000 people in front of the south entrance."
Jiang Jie smiled and said, "The north needs reinforcements, and the south also needs reinforcements. I want to see what they do. Nankou is not afraid. As long as he persists until the Japanese army withdraws the main force to Shanghai, the siege will be relieved. I hope Wenbai can attract all the Japanese troops."
come on."
Jiang Cheng on the other side had returned to modern times, and he immediately came to Chen Ce's shop without stopping.
At this time, the store had a completely new look. There were no longer countless dogs inside, but instead turned into various strange creatures.
Jiang Cheng looked at Chen Ce who was seriously holding a white mouse and feeding the python, and asked curiously, "Toilet paper, have you changed partners?"
When Chen Ce saw Jiang Cheng, he smiled like a thief and said, "You're here. I find that I still like this kind of reptile more. It's easy to feed and not noisy. How about it? It's awesome."
Jiang Cheng always felt that Chen Ce must have got something wrong.
Jiang Cheng ignored him, grabbed him and said, "Let's go in, I have something to ask you."
Chen Ce reluctantly threw the remaining mice into the mouse cage, entered the room with Jiang Cheng and asked, "What's the matter? Boss Jiang, do you want to buy anything else?"
Jiang Cheng took out his cell phone and wrote, "I want to attack a warship. Do you have any good ideas?"
Chen Ce turned around and wanted to leave, but Jiang Cheng quickly stopped him and asked, "What's wrong with you?"
Chen Ce said angrily, "Are you crazy, attacking warships? Then you are not allowed to buy anti-ship missiles. Are these things accessible? If you just hit us, the whole world will find us."
Jiang Cheng quickly wrote, "No, it's not a modern warship, just the kind from the early World War II. I don't want missiles, just give me conventional weapons."
Chen Ce then started to think about it and said, "There is still some way to do this. In the early days of World War II, there was no radar. You can just take an airplane and equip it with bombs and give it one shot."
Jiang Cheng was immediately distressed. He had also thought about using a plane, but where did he get the pilot?
