Chapter 115: The fierce battle between the Battle of Shanghai (III)

Asama Yoshio originally thought that if he broke through the frontier position and attacked the town, the Chinese national team would flee. However, through the telescope, he looked at the bodies of more than 100 soldiers lying at the entrance of the town. Especially when the artillery fire was being suppressed just now, the mortars in the town were still firing. Asama Yoshio knew that what was waiting for his soldiers was a more cruel street battle.

He rushed into the town first, and after the mortar and machine gun fire just now, more than 300 Japanese in the second brigade attacked straight along the avenue under the command of a squadron leader. His intention was obviously to control the houses on both sides of the avenue and establish a passage for subsequent troops to enter the town.

After the neon army rushed into the town, the shelling stopped. The sound of artillery was still there. The gunshots suddenly became silent and strange. The Japanese held the bridge and hugged their waists towards the town along the Bluestone Avenue. Suddenly, they stepped on the soles of round things under their feet. When they looked down, they noticed that the avenue was covered with soybeans. Soybeans were not unfamiliar with Japanese who prefer bean products, but now the soybeans were sprinkled on the bare bluestone slabs. The hard-soled fur shoes were slid one step and it was extremely difficult to move forward.

Suddenly, with a gunshot, the vanguard who was walking carefully at the front fell down, and on the roofs and attics, many machine guns, submachine guns and rifles suddenly appeared on the roofs and attics. For a moment, the gunshots were loud, and the Japanese wanted to quickly find concealment, raised their guns and headed back, but as soon as they accelerated, they focused their attention on them, but could not control their feet. The soles of their feet slipped and fell to the ground, just like short radish heads rolling on the street covered with soybeans.

The remaining soldiers who killed innocent people in a completely one-sided manner. Except for a small number of the remaining soldiers who rushed into the town who fled to the entrance of the town and met with the third team, the remaining nearly 200 Japanese were all wiped out on this street that ran through the entire town of Luodian.

The third brigade that followed changed the tactics of the vanguard's troops to drive straight in, and instead searched household by household, blasting the brick gate with grenades, and then rushed in. After searching for half a street, there was nothing. The Chinese national team that ambushed the vanguard's troops just now seemed to have disappeared out of thin air.

Suddenly, the Neon Army in the front found movements in a two-story building. A small team of Japanese soldiers approached the two-story building in a combat formation. Suddenly, a string of bullets were spit out from the window on the second floor with the sound of "da da da da da da da" Czech machine guns. A string of bullets were spit out from the window on the second floor. Blood arrows appeared on the chests and heads of four Japanese soldiers and fell to the ground screaming.

"Let's go down!" The squad leader shouted, and the Japanese reacted quickly. The rifles and machine guns shot the window that shot bullets together. A grenade launcher shot the grenade into the window accurately and exploded. The sealed door on the ground floor was also exploded by the Japanese with grenades.

After playing for more than a minute, there was no movement in the room. The Japanese squad leader waved his command knife: "Kill me!" Before he finished speaking, a bullet flew out of another window and penetrated into the Japanese squad leader's forehead. He fell down on his back without even making a scream, and the red and white mixture was splashed everywhere!

A more violent rain of bullets blocked all windows, and a squad of Japanese soldiers rushed in with a howl. Unexpectedly, these thirteen Japanese soldiers were not attacked! These Japanese searched in this building for a long time, but even the shadow of a Chinese soldier was not found!

The Japanese squadron leader who followed behind walked around the building in anger and found that there was a small hole in the back wall of the ground floor connected to the house behind! The Chinese soldiers had already retreated from this small hole after the attack.

"Bageyalu." The Japanese squadron leader, who was so angry, drew out his command knife and directly cut a table in the hall into two halves. However, if the Chinese soldiers were not found, his sword was useless no matter how sharp his sword was.

This situation is happening every moment. The Japanese who rushed into the two squadrons of Luodian found that this place had become a huge fortress, and every building and every room could fire deadly bullets at any time!

There were cold guns everywhere, and whenever the Japanese went further, someone would fall down! These Japanese were either dismantled the opening skull by rifle bullets shot from a distance, or were shot into sieve by machine gun bullets shot from the house. When the Japanese finally rushed into these houses, they could not find the Chinese soldiers who were shooting.

After suffering many losses, the Japanese infiltrated the two sides, trying to surround the defenders who were ambushing the houses on both sides of the avenue from behind. What made the Japanese depressed was that the houses on both sides of the fifty meters were all designed like this. Several teams of Japanese attackers made rash progress several times, but they accidentally entered the defenders' firepower ambush circle and suffered heavy losses!

The Japanese, who tried to change the tactics twice and failed to succeed, returned to the previous attack along the streets, trying to open the passage as soon as possible and then encircle and eliminate the defenders. Unexpectedly, the Chinese national team also adjusted their defenses and strengthened the firepower of the houses on both sides of the road. In addition, most of the streets were covered with soybeans, so it was okay to advance in an orderly manner, but once they paniced, the Japanese who fell to the ground became living targets!

At this time, all the Japanese forgot the tofu they usually like to eat and soy milk they like to drink, and they wished they could eliminate the hateful species of soybeans.

The Japanese had no choice but to fight with the Chinese defenders one by one, and the Chinese defenders were equipped with a large number of submachine guns and other automatic weapons, which were far from comparable to the Japanese's super-long 38-large bulwarks. Fortunately, the Japanese squadron leader and squad leader were a little comforted that the Chinese defenders seemed to have no determination to defend. Although several soldiers were killed in every attack, they were conquering one by one in a house converted into fortresses.

"Where is the current attack location of the Japanese?" Shen Xiuwen's current command center is located in a small courtyard in the east of the town.

"The intersection has passed, and there are still one-third of them left to open the entire street." Shen Zui, who had just returned to the command center, said with an excited look. After putting the Japanese in, nearly 500 Japanese had been wiped out. In addition to the entire army of the Second Company of the Machine Cannon Battalion, the Second Battalion and Third Battalion of the 38th Regiment ambushed in the town only lost less than one hundred people.

"Tell the defensive forces that the retreat speed is slightly faster, and you must attract a Japanese squadron that is still outside the town." Shen Xiuwen ordered.

"yes."

On the surface, the Japanese suffered no losses for every few soldiers killed or injured by the Japanese who occupied a house, but from the entrance of the town to the rear of the town, nearly 200 soldiers fell on the route of the attack by more than 600 meters! More than half of the casualties of the third battalion were killed or injured.

When hiding in a small building, I saw that there were about a hundred meters to open up the street that ran through the town, a squadron leader who had already been angry howled: "Warriors, there are still one hundred meters left, rush over!"

When I heard that I could escape from this damn street battle with only a hundred meters, more than 200 Japanese who were already exhausted also became energetic and rushed towards the houses under the leadership of their respective team leaders!

In a sturdy two-story building at the entrance of the town, he was intoxicated to the chief officials of the last line of defense composed of the troops directly under the brigade: "Now the 38th Regiment outside has accelerated the retreat speed, and it is estimated that the Japanese will fight to us soon. Tell your brothers that the last moment is here, and we must guard this last line of defense. We must fight for an inch of land, and we must never let the Japanese stand out from the town."

"Yes, Deputy Chief of Staff." The officers from the Brigade Engineering Company, Guard Company, Baggage Company, Communication Company, Logistics Department and other directly under the brigade headquarters saluted.

When the Japanese rekindled their spirits broke through the last 100 meters of street, they felt very smooth at first. The resistance of the Chinese national team was limited, and they soon occupied another 50 or 60 meters of streets. But at the last moment, the resistance they encountered suddenly became fierce. The Chinese national team was fighting for an inch of land. Even if one or two houses were lost, they had to find a way to retake it.

"Report to the captain of the brigade, the first squadron and the second squadron are about to open up the entire street, but at another street entrance, the progress is a bit slow." The brigade commander Fujii, who had already communicated, reported.

"Yoxi." Fujii, who had been full of gloom at first because of the heavy casualties of the troops, finally breathed a sigh of relief. As long as the street was opened and then surrounded the two sides, they could occupy the entire Luodian.

Although the Chinese army's resistance was very tenacious at the last moment, in Fujii's view, the Chinese army was unwilling to accept the loss and made the final resistance. It seemed that this Chinese army was still quite tenacious and bloody, almost comparable to the Great Japanese Imperial Army. At this time, Fujii respected the guard Luodian in this army.

"Order the third squadron to enter the town and launch an attack on this last line of defense. Open the way." Fujii waved his hand and ordered.

The two squadrons that had previously attacked Luodian, after cruel street battles, were not only suffering heavy casualties but also very tired. At this time, they sent a new force to defeat the final line of defense in one fell swoop.

"A squadron of the Japanese outside the town has also come in. OK, immediately order the 1st Battalion of the 42nd Regiment to quickly occupy the north of the town and cut off the Japanese's retreat. At the same time, order the 2nd Battalion of the 38th Regiment and the 33rd Battalion to attack and divide the Japanese in the town. Remember, after the encirclement is completed, you must surround it without attacking." Hearing that all the Japanese in the 3rd Regiment enter the town, Chen Xiuwen jumped up and gave an order.

This is Chen Xiuwen's plan to lure the enemy into depth. Because the artillery fire of the Japanese was too powerful, and Chen Xiuwen was always on guard against the Japanese air strikes. He specially planned such a plan to lure the enemy into depth with Chief of Staff Qiao Zhen, and then divided the siege. It was to lead the Japanese to the town and take them as hostages. Although the Japanese had an indiscriminate artillery attack on the front line just now, the Japanese on the opposite side had only one regiment, and the town surrounded most of the brigade of troops. Chen Xiuwen would never believe that the Japanese would come again indiscriminate bombing. Surround these Japanese and wait until the night to deal with them, so that they could delay the whole day. Tomorrow, as long as they defended for half a day, the reinforcements of the 14th and 67th Divisions should also arrive.

At this time, the reconnaissance staff came in and reported: "The brigade, the engineer platoon who exploded the bridge has returned, and the Shuli Bridge on the Yueluo Highway has been blown up. However, the spy company has not come back. They are still blocking the reinforcements of the Neon Army on the east bank of the Hengjing River."

After hearing this news, Chen Xiuwen finally breathed a sigh of relief. The Shuli Bridge could at least delay the Japanese who were directly on the flank of Luodian from Yuepu direction for two hours. The spy company did not come back, and Chen Xiuwen was not worried, but instead felt happy. Peng Hui must have taken the spy company to harass the group of reinforcements and delayed them from heading towards Luodian. Before dark, the Japanese were unlikely to arrive at the flank of Luodian. In this way, the first day was guarded.

Kazukiji was riding proudly on the ocean horse and personally led two brigades to Luodian for reinforcements. The 43rd Regiment was the first landing force in the entire division. Kazukiji's 44th Regiment could only follow Yoshio Asama. And after the 43rd Regiment landed, it immediately seized the strategic point Luodian. Not only did the brigade commander Yoshio Kuroiya praise Asama Yoshio, but also Lieutenant General Yamamoto Sobu also sent a telegram to praise it. This made Kazukiji, who was competing with Yoshio Asama to be the commander of the brigade after Yoshio Kuroiya was transferred to serve as the brigade leader. Yoshio Asama Yoshio undoubtedly scored a lot in the minds of the commander.

But even Zhiying Er did not expect that Luodian, which was seized by the Forty-third Regiment, was lost again, and the recapture of Luodian was slow to make progress. However, his Forty-fourth Regiment easily defeated a regiment and a battalion of the Chinese army in Yuepu, and successfully captured Yuepu.

After receiving the order from the brigade commander, He Zhiying Er immediately reinforced the 43rd Regiment along Yueluo Kilometer and attacked Luodian's flank, which made He Zhiying Er happy. If he could arrive quickly and take the lead in capturing Luodian from the flank, then once He Yan Yoshikazu was transferred, the position of the Major General's brigade commander must be his own. He has been in the army for more than 20 years and being able to take the general's title with the general's title has always been He Zhiying Er's dream.

In order to seize the time, he immediately organized all the cars of the wing, transported two squadrons as the vanguard, and quickly headed towards Luodian. He himself led the remaining one and a half brigades to march towards Luodian.

Just as He Zhiying Er was riding on a horse and dreaming of his general, a mortar shell exploded from the front, followed by a loud gunfire.

"Not good." He Zhiying Er's first reaction was that his vanguard was attacked. He quickly ordered the troops to run and go quickly to reinforce.

After nearly twenty minutes of rapid march, He Zhiyingji led a group of infantrymen and a half squadrons to finally catch up with the vanguard of the two squadrons riding in the car in front.
