Songjiang at this time!

I don’t know that a battlefield diary by Tan Tai Mingyue placed Songjiang in the eyes of the military and civilians across the country.

They, as Dan Tai Mingyue's diary, trembled with the entire city along with the Japanese artillery fire.

At 7 a.m., standing at the wall of Songjiang River, looking into the distance, a yellowish tint swept across the city like a group of ants from the Huangpu River to the Songjiang City.

It was a division and a detachment of 40,000 Japanese troops, plus the 114th Division, which was originally in the east city of Songjiang, and the Japanese troops encircled Songjiang would have reached more than 50,000.

The Japanese army that was about to arrive was surrounded by three facing Songjiang City. Except for the empty direction of Liubei City, the remaining walls were all yellow in color.

The arrival of the Japanese army did not rush to attack Songjiang, but built field fortifications in front of Songjiang City, but this did not mean that they left Songjiang City idle.

Since the arrival of the infantry, the howitzers located several kilometers away from afar have begun to be tested. After three rounds of artillery fire, they are saturated artillery bombardment.

This time, it was much more terrifying than when the 114th Division arrived.

Because the 6th Division that had arrived also had an artillery gang with 48 artillery pieces of artillery pieces, the Guoqi Detachment, and an enhanced artillery brigade, with 16 75-caliber mountain cannons, plus 48 artillery pieces of the 114th Division that had obtained the supply of supplies. These alone had more than 100 artillery pieces.

With the participation of six naval guns, the intensity of the artillery fire was more than twice that of yesterday.

In this wave of shelling, there is no distinction between Cangcheng, residential houses, and Songjiang City. All areas affiliated with Chinese defending positions are within the scope of the Japanese army's shelling.

In the original words of the 6th Division commander of the 6th Division who arrived at the front line of Songjiang Xicheng, Gu Suo said: "I hope to see the Chinese Imperial Army's trembling in the artillery fire! Let them understand that the so-called fighting spirit is nothing in the face of the power of the Imperial Army's artillery!"

It was a very domineering declaration, but at this moment, Tani Shouo did have the confidence to be domineering.

Hundreds of artillery bombarded together, which was definitely an extremely luxurious thing for the Chinese army at this time.

This round of artillery lasted for an hour and a half until the Japanese army in the wilderness basically built their field fortifications.

The entire Songjiang River was wrapped in strong smoke and it did not dissipate until more than ten minutes later.

From the perspective of the observation post that survived luck, houses collapsed and burned everywhere inside and outside the city. The originally flat streets could be seen from time to time.

Of course, these are not scary. As long as people do not hide in these houses, no matter how serious the damage to the blown houses is, there will be no great casualties.

However, several large gaps were blasted out of Songjiang ancient city walls, which were not seriously damaged by yesterday's shelling.

Even the city walls several meters thick were smashed, not to mention the various fortifications laid on them. The heavy machine gun fortifications built with logs and sandbags were like paper under the power of the 105 howitzer and 127 naval gun. Not to mention the frontal hit, even if it was more than 30 meters away, the terrible air waves could shake it down.

Fortunately, from the beginning of the construction of fortifications in Songjiang, Tang Dao took out the tunnel warfare tactics summarized by China in the future fighting with American cowboys armed to the teeth in the ice and snow of the north. I can't win if you can't win the artillery fire, but I can hide.

Except for leaving enough observation posts, the other main forces hid in the air-raid shelter and watched the city explode in a mess, but the actual damage to the personnel was minimal.

However, in this round, the Songjiang Security Group, located among the houses, suffered a severe blow.

The basement and cellar they were hiding were far less sturdy than the air-raid shelter in Songjiang City. In such a round of cannon strikes, I wonder how many people never had the chance to drill out the simple bullet-avoiding hole that was only more than one meter deep underground. Before they even shot a bullet, they were suffocated to death in the cellar.

"Good, the Japanese cannon shells are not expensive! Contact your brothers quickly and see how they are. The Japanese are coming." When the fierce artillery fire stopped, Zhuang Shisan, who had emerged from the basement of the command center he established, complained about the Japanese's prodigal artillery bombardment, and ordered his guard squad leader to blew the iron whistle.

That is the contact information created by the security battalion commander.

The inspiration comes from the early years when a group of green-skinned gangsters were stolen and used their whistles to convey messages.

Don't say it, this is a very primitive communication, and using this battlefield where the enemy and us may fight each other at any time has an unexpected effect.

Just like last night, when the whistle blew, my own people knew their general direction and vaguely knew what they wanted to do, but the Japanese who also heard the whistle were confused because iron whistles spread all over the block, and there were enemies everywhere.

It would be strange if the Japanese army could communicate and didn't know anything while they didn't fall into a disadvantage.

"Dou---Dou-Dou!" A long and two short iron whistles sounded.

The iron whistle used to indicate identity and convey messages is sharp enough to be transmitted for nearly a hundred meters, while one long and two short means that each company, platoon and squad report its own position.

Generally speaking, each infantry squad has an iron whistle, which hangs around the squad leader's neck. As long as the infantry squad is not finished, there will be basically a response.

Moreover, the soldiers of the security camp who had learned a lot of intelligence all had cotton in their pockets. When the Japanese military artillery began to test the fire, they stuffed the cotton into their ears, so that they could ensure that their hearing was not damaged.

Now, the artillery fire has stopped, and the soldiers who cannot feel the vibration will not be stupid enough to still tightly plug their ears. What should I do if the Japanese come?

As the iron whistle sounded, iron whistles sounded one after another around.

Zhuang Shisan, who kept slapping the dust on his body, smiled on his face until the last iron whistle sounded and it was silent for a long time.

The Major Security Battalion Commander's smile froze on his face.

He turned around and asked his own guard squad leader: "You just counted how many voices were responding to us?"

"It seems to be twenty sounds!" The guard squad leader replied with some uncertainty, his face also looked extremely ugly. "Maybe some places are too far away and we didn't hear them."

"How can you not hear fart? I am in the center, and the four companies in the camp are located in the southeast, west and north. I have tried it when I came." Zhuang Shisan was furious.

"I'll let you read more, now I can't even count the number. How could it be that there are only 20 sounds?

How could there be only 20 people in a battalion of 700? If you blow the whistle to me, no, blow the trumpet to me and let the whole battalion return to the position, don’t be cowardly to me, the Japanese are coming.”

According to the pre-war agreement, after receiving the military numbers and returning to the position, the platoons and squads crawled out of the cellar would report to their company chief with iron posts, and then the company headquarters would report to the battalion department via telephone line.

In the face of such a violent shelling, the telephone line probably had been blown up long ago, so the telephone report would not be considered, but it could still be done with the most primitive iron whistle.

A few minutes after the sound of the military horns, the iron whistles from each company came tens of meters away from the surrounding area. However, this time, no matter how attentive the major battalion commander and the guard squad leader listened, there were still no more than 30 sounds.

Each iron whistle represents an infantry squad, which also means that there will be no more than 30 infantry squads scattered in the block to respond.

The security regiment belongs to local armed forces, and the military pay is under the responsibility of local finance. The staffing is much more than that of regular troops. A single infantry squad has up to 15 people, which also means that only 450 people can still go to the position.

I had a melee with the Japanese army last night, and 80 people were killed and injured, which made the security battalion commander sad for half a night. Now, after a bombardment, more than 100 people were lost.

"Good, before the fight was officially started, I have killed so many brothers and fired me a red signal flare. Today, I and the Japanese who are darling will never stop." The major security guard battalion commander's eyes turned red in an instant.

In the world, we rely on the word "Yi". The major battalion commander may lack sufficient sacrifice, but he has always heard many stories of Guan Yun passing five passes and killing six generals. This is the meaning of brotherhood in mind.

In addition to parents, wife and children, this may be the second reason why the security battalion commander can still stand here.

Outside Kura Castle, a Japanese officer wearing a major general's uniform, white gloves, and a command knife with a spike hanging around his waist, holding a telescope and looking at the block 600 meters away, with disdain and sneering on the corners of his mouth.

"No wonder it can only be a supplementary division. Even if they have a special division, it will not be of great use!

The Chinese placed troops in such a place just to add glory to our country's Qi Detachment!
