Chapter 124: Reinforcements in the Battle of Shanghai (III)

"Brothers, I believe everyone is a little surprised. The brigade headquarters ordered our spies to retreat to the Gong family's house. Why do I just want to leave you in a row?" Peng Hui stood in front of a row of queues and glanced majestically. All the brothers in the row stood with their heads raised, none of them muttering in private.

Peng Hui nodded with satisfaction, then pointed to the roaring guns and cannons outside the yard and said loudly: "Okay, now I will tell you. The Japanese are now attacking us in Luodian. Our 38th Regiment of the 20th Independent Brigade, and the two brothers of the 42nd Regiment are almost exhausted. The brigade commander asked us to withdraw at this time. The brigade was worried about us and couldn't bear to treat us as cannon fodder. But now our brigade has come to the position in person. Do you think we should stay?"

"Should, ought." All the soldiers in the row shouted loudly.

"Okay. You guys have consciences. You will remember it for me in the future. If there is no voyage, there will be no our spy company. Our spy company is the soldiers of the voyage. However, today I, Peng Hui, will take you to disobey the order of the voyage. If we do not retreat, we must stay to protect the voyage. If Luodian is captured by the Japanese, all our brothers will sacrifice their lives and protect the voyage. Do you understand?"

"I understand, I swear to defend the brigade to the death."

Shen Xiuwen led seven or eight staff officers from the brigade headquarters, together with the remaining communications company, the kitchen team, etc., to enter the second-tier position. Now there are only about five hundred people in the second-tier position, and there are more than two thousand Japanese attackers, and at the same time, there are artillery fire and chariots to cover.

"Are you all ready?" Shen Xiuwen called Zhou Suping, the second battalion commander of the 38th Regiment, and the first battalion commander of the 42nd Regiment, and asked.

"Everything is ready." Zhou Suping and the first battalion commander nodded at the same time.

The 42nd Regiment was equipped with Japanese equipment. In order to make up for the lack of firepower of the first battalion on the second line, Shen Xiuwen specially concentrated the two m2s of the spy company and the remaining two m2s on the air defense position, together with the remaining one m2s of the 38th Regiment and the Machine Cannon Battalion, and the three 92-type 11 heavy machine guns were ambushed on the two wings of the second line position. At the same time, when Shen Xiuwen asked the 2nd Battalion of the 38th Regiment to withdraw, he buried a considerable amount of explosives in the front line position.

Five hundred people block two thousand people, and they will definitely not be able to block them, but if they can’t stop them, they will have to bite a piece of meat on the Japanese, and at the same time they will also win time for themselves for the last hour.

"Building, although I buried these explosives in the anti-aircraft hole, my heart was irritated when the Japanese were bombarding me just now. If a shot fell directly on the anti-aircraft hole and detonated the explosive, we would have wasted all our efforts. Fortunately, the artillery brothers opened fire in time and attracted the Japanese's fire. I have to say it," Zhou Suping lay beside Shen Xiuwen and said with a smile.

Originally, Shen Xiuwen nodded with a smile. According to the original plan, as long as the Japanese enter the second-line position, it would be enough for them to drink a pot. But when he heard the artillery brother, Shen Xiuwen's face suddenly became dark. Because he ordered the artillery to shoot out all the shells, this suicide attack order was made by him. In order to gain more time and to kill more Japanese, he could only do this.

Zhou Suping said while noticing Chen Xiuwen's face. He suddenly remembered that the artillery position had been destroyed by the Japanese artillery group, which also meant that all the artillery brothers were already heroic. He quickly closed his mouth. Then he sighed deeply and said, "The artillery brothers are all good. With just three rounds of volleys, they destroyed nearly one-third of the Japanese machine guns and grenade launchers firepower, and also knocked down a Japanese chariot."

"Not only are the artillery brothers, but all the brothers in our Independent 20th Brigade are good. As a result, no one retreated or none of them was a coward." Chen Xiuwen shook his head and said slowly.

Zhou Suping nodded, was silent for a while, and asked: "Brigate, do you say that in an hour, can the reinforcements arrive?"

Chen Xiuwen turned his head and looked at Zhou Suping for a while, showing a bitter smile. Looking at the sun that was about to sink, he shook his head and said, "If someone else asked me, I would definitely say that the reinforcements would arrive in an hour. If you ask me, I can only tell you, I don't know."

After hearing this, Zhou Suping let out a long sigh, as if it was a relief. Then he said shyly: "Host, there is something I have always wanted to tell you, but I have never known how to speak. Since we don't know if we can survive today, I will tell you."

Chen Xiuwen was immediately very curious. He said that among the three battalion commanders of the 38th Regiment, Zhou Suping, who is now the oldest and the most low-key, doesn't say much. He hurriedly said, "Then you just talk about it."

"In fact, when you first arrived at our first battalion commander in the 88th Division, I was quite dissatisfied with you, thinking that you became the battalion commander by your relationship. But later, I saw that your ability was indeed particularly outstanding and that you were good to your brothers from the bottom of your heart, so I was convinced. However, I always felt a little jealous of you in my heart. But since the war started, our battles have made people feel angry. I am completely convinced by you now and have no jealousy. I have also made up my mind that unless I die in the battle, I will follow you wholeheartedly." Zhou Suping said and touched his nose embarrassedly and said, "But I always feel a little sorry for you, so"

Before Zhou Suping finished speaking, he heard an observation post shouting loudly: "The devils are coming."

Chen Xiuwen quickly patted Zhou Suping on the shoulder and smiled, "So what to say after the war? Since you feel sorry for me, then you have to invite me to have a drink, right? Save your life."

Zhou Suping felt his eyes warm and hurriedly said, "Yes, I must save my life and invite the voyage to drink after the war."

It turned out that the Japanese who had been lying on the front line began to pounce on the front line under the cover of light and heavy machine guns, grenade launchers and re-driving tanks.

At first, the Japanese all approached carefully, one hundred and fifty meters, one hundred and eighty meters, until they reached sixty meters, the frontier positions were still quiet. Could it be that the Chinese army were all killed? Or had they fled? The Japanese were ecstatic and finally began to stand up and charge. They rushed to the frontier positions, except for the corpses all over the ground and the guns that were blown into twisted shapes, and there was no Chinese army. The Japanese immediately cheered and jumped into the first trench like dumplings. The chariots behind them saw that there was no danger, and the tank guns began to extend to shoot at the second line of defense. At the same time, the Japanese who jumped into the trench began to advance to the second trench through the three traffic trench connected to the second trench. More Japanese even jumped over the trench or couldn't wait to get up from the first trench and rushed towards the second line of defense.

There was a difference of one hundred meters between the two lines of defense and eighty meters. There was no movement in the second line of defense, and no movement in sixty meters. When the Japanese rushed to fifty meters, Chen Xiuwen shouted: "Detonate."

The detonator, which Zhou Suping personally mastered, pressed the button heavily. The whole earth trembled, and "rumbling" followed by a loud noise of earth shaking. More than 300 Japanese who had jumped into the trenches, or had rushed through the trenches, or were approaching the trenches, were instantly submerged in the smoke and dust of the sky, and a series of fireballs rose into the air. The weapons and stones that were sprinkled on the frontier positions were more shrapnel that had originally been in the floating soil during the Japanese bombing, and became the best killing weapon under the huge impact force. The Japanese who were extremely terrifying did not even scream, and they were blown into the air one by one by one by one by one by the powerful air waves, and then they were torn and smashed by sharp fragments. Some Japanese who were lying on the ground in time were still swept into the air together with the soil, and then turned into a ball of blood mist and sprinkled on the ground, and the soil was mixed into one.

When the scorching air waves rolled over the second line of defense, the smell of blood and blood filled the entire space.

The explosion sounded like an order. The 92 and Maxim in the Burrow began to speak first. The six violent flames were like the six sickles in the hand of the God of Death, cutting them into the formation of the Japanese who were stunned by the explosion in front of him. It was not until dozens of Japanese arrived at the ground that they reacted and fell down one after another. The heavy machine guns, grenade launchers, and heavy machine guns on the Type 95, Type 89, and tank guns and tank guns began to suppress the firepower points on both sides of the second-line position. However, the firepower points in the Burrow cannot be destroyed by the grenades of tank guns and grenade launchers, let alone suppress them with heavy machine guns. On the contrary, many Japanese machine gun positions and grenade launchers were suppressed by the Three Maxim and Three Maxim.

As the machine guns fired, two light machine guns were fired at the entrances of the three traffic trenches. At the same time, grenades and grenades were thrown out of the trenches. The Japanese who survived in front of the traffic trenches and first- and second-line positions were either killed by machine guns or killed by grenades. In less than two minutes, the more than 300 Japanese who rushed into the front line fifty meters in front of the front line had no living creature.

At this time, the Wuting M2, who had not fired, kept aiming tightly, while rushing forward, and at the flank fire point, or four of the eight chariots that opened fire on the second-line position.

As the chariot not only moved forward, the side area of ​​the armor that was only six millimeters exposed became larger and larger. I don’t know which m2 was the first to spit out red flames, and the other four m2 aimed at the thin armor on the sides of the four Type 95 light tanks and opened fire together.

The six-mm side armor was as fragile as paper in front of hundreds of 12.7mm large-diameter armor-piercing bullets. In a "dongdongdongdong" raindrop-like loud bang, the side armor was instantly hit into a hornet's nest. When the bullets that consumed most of the kinetic energy drilled into the tank, before the three terrified tank hands in the tank could scream, their bodies burst open as countless bullets drilled in, and only a large number of human body parts were left in the blood.

The four Type 95 chariots fell into bed under the crazy firepower of the five m2. The other four were unknown, but the Type 89 chariots, which had long been scared by the previous mobilizers and cluster grenades, reversing rapidly without caring about their companions behind them. Wherever they passed, in addition to the neon soldiers pressed into meat mud, there were also the terrifying howls of humans before death.

All this happened in less than three minutes, and the Yamamoto Sunwu, who was standing at the command tent, watched how the 12th Regiment broke through the frontier position of Luodian. After a brief moment of stunnedness, he jumped up without any grace and threw away the telescope in his hand and screamed loudly: "Blasting, shelling, aiming at the second line of defense and blowing me hard."

Thirty-six 75th Field Cannons, together with dozens of 92 Infantry Cannons, balls of flames spewed out of the muzzle, and then smashed down in the air toward the machine gun fire points on the second-line positions and on both sides of the flanks.

In an instant, the entire second-tier position was trembling terriblely, and the thunderous explosion sounded endlessly. It was covered by tumbling smoke and fire everywhere, and the raging waves of air rolled everywhere.

Several grenades fell into the trench accurately. In the violent explosion, the soldiers around the explosion sites had no chance to scream and were torn apart. Some officers and soldiers were even hit directly by the grenades, turning into bloody minced meat and dispersed in all directions.

The dense shelling finally stopped, and gun parts, scattered pieces of flesh and blood, and scorched corpses were scattered all over the position.

Chen Xiuwen leaned against the trench wall. At this time, he no longer cared about when the reinforcements arrived and whether there was an hour left. This shelling not only destroyed the entire second-tier position, but also a large area at the entrance of the town was destroyed by the shelling. As for the original bunker of the frontier command, it has now disappeared from his sight.

"The devils are coming." A soldier shouted.

After the shelling ended, more than a thousand Japanese stormed into the position again. Zhou Suping, who had just crawled out of the floating soil, quickly shouted: "Order the heavy machine gun to fire."

But after shouting for a few times, no roar of heavy machine guns was heard. A communication soldier rushed over and shouted: "All machine gun bunkers have been destroyed."

Chen Xiuwen stood up from the ground quickly, raised the rifle in his hand and shouted loudly: "Brothers, fight with the Japanese."

After the shelling, the angry Anda 23 looked at the second-tier position with thick smoke. The scene just now, the lives of more than 300 soldiers made Anda 23 feel ashamed, an unprecedented shame. He tore open his military uniform, exposed the white shirt inside, pulled out the command knife, and howled: "Kill and give it to me."
