Fang Buwei quickly took out his telescope and took a look.

There are really many people.

It was impossible to see the approximate number at a glance, but Fang Buwei estimated that there were at least a thousand people.

The one who rushed in the front was indeed an armored vehicle, because he did not see the gun barrel in the vehicle, but only saw the next two machine guns.

And it is a light machine gun.

Fang Buwei suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

What he was actually most afraid of was the artillery of Japanese tanks.

It has a caliber of more than fifty millimeters, which is even more powerful than the ** Sanqi offensive and defensive cannon.

The key is direct-fired cannons, which basically refers to wherever they are hit within a distance of 34 meters.

But it wouldn't be that scary if it was replaced with a light machine gun.

The Japanese light machine guns are famous for their low firing rate, slow initial speed and near range. Compared with the Czech light machine gun, their power is more than half lower.

More importantly, the range is too small.

The effective range is 600 meters, but after more than 300 meters, the bullets are easy to float and their power is greatly reduced.

Hearing several continuous explosions of explosives, the Japanese armored vehicles suddenly stopped.

The designated commander's voice was too small, so Fang Buwei couldn't hear clearly what the Japanese wanted to do.

Wu Qiujian was lying not far from Fangbuwei, holding a telescope in his hand.

"The Japanese are going to cover the artillery fire again..." Fang Buwei shouted.

"Hurry, hurry up, mortar preparation..." Wu Qiujian shouted.

He also saw it very clearly.

There were at least twenty or thirty grenades unloading grenade launchers from their bodies.

Wu Qiujian had thought of the Japanese assault before the charge, but he did not expect that the Japanese armored vehicles would actually stop?

Although there are not many mortar shells, as long as you can knock down an armored vehicle, it will be considered a profit.

"Well...Captain Wu, look..." Fang Buwei reminded again.

Most of the Japanese unloaded from the armored vehicles this time were poisonous gas bombs.

Fang Buwei could not read it wrong.

The grenade is slender, but the poison gas bomb is thicker.

It seems that the purpose of the Japanese is to drive all ** into the city and then fight street battles.

"Second Battalion Commander!" Wu Qiujian shouted loudly, "If you don't have masks, all of them will be withdrawn and build another line of defense after the fortification..."

Just now, the Japanese only fired two rounds of poison gas bombs, and only eighteen poison gas bombs were shot. The soldiers without masks were buried in the trenches and could still hide.

But this time, depending on the situation, I can't escape it no matter what.

This is the last horizontal trench. If you retreat one hundred meters, you will find a barbed wire mesh. If you walk one hundred meters behind, you will find a cement and sandbag fortifications built in the houses.

The barbed wire can also block the infantry. In front of the loading cart, it is no different from the paper-paste.

If this line of defense cannot stop the army's armored vehicles, it will have to fight street battles.

Yi Jing ran over quickly.

When he saw Yi Jing, Fang Buwei remembered the machine gun, and his teeth were so angry that he felt itchy.

Yi Jing smiled apologetically at Fang Buwei and said in Wu Qiujian's ear: "Captain, at least one brigade has come from the Japanese army. I don't know how many there are at all... I guess I can't stand it..."

"If you can't stand it, you have to hold it!" Wu Qiujian said hatefully, "After you hit the alley station, our cannons cannot be used at all, but the Japanese infantry cannons and grenade launchers can still be used, as well as armored vehicles... and there is a little wind in the wild, and the poisonous gas should be dissipated faster. How do you attack after entering the city?"

Yi Jing stopped talking.

The cement fortifications are fine, at least it can handle a few shots.

But like sandbags or civil fortifications, the Japanese 92 infantry cannons are just one shot.

By then, it will be really filled with human life.

"Notify Commander Peng to reinforce..." Wu Qiujian sighed.

He was talking about the 16th Division of the Gui Army, which was deployed to the west of the 523rd Regiment, and was also the support force of the 523rd Regiment.

"I understand!" Yi Jing replied.

Before he could lift his feet, he heard Fang Buwei reminding him urgently: "Let's retreat together, I really can't hold on..."

Fuck!

Fang Buwei cursed secretly.

He was just glad that the Japanese army only came with armored vehicles and no direct guns, but in a blink of an eye, the Japanese drew out six infantry cannons.

With this thing, Fang Buwei didn't even dare to fire the machine gun.

Six cannons were blown up around a machine cannon. Not to mention moving in half a minute, they could not escape without growing wings.

By the same token, the first thing that the Japanese army chooses to strike will definitely be the most important firepower.

For example, mortars, heavy machine guns, and even light machine guns.

Wu Qiujian quickly raised the telescope.

The Japanese army dragged out a total of six infantry artillery from behind the armored vehicles.

There is no doubt that it must be the six gates used by the Japanese army to bomb the first battalion after the plane bombed.

There was only one infantry brigade. It was a matter of whether the fully-organized 523rd Regiment could guard the position. What's more, the Japanese army had six infantry artillery and more than ten heavy-duty armored vehicles, while the 523rd Regiment had no veterans who could fight.

The newly added recruits were all the recruits who would cover their ears when they heard the Japanese guns.

All of them were supplemented by the Zhejiang Army, who was the first to go to the battlefield, and they followed the Northern Expedition Army for two days, never fought the Central Plains War, and never suppressed bandits, so they never went through the battlefield.

"Damn... Wu Qiujian punched the mud wall hard, and yelled with gritted teeth: "Retreat!"

Yi Jing ran away.

Fang Buwei also put down his telescope and said to Wu Qiujian: "Let's go!"

The Japanese army's throwing troops first released several rounds of poison gas bombs, and then began to release grenades.

No matter which type of bullet, it will go from near to far, until the range of the grenade can be used to the extreme and will be blown to the edge of the barbed wire.

After the Japanese grenade launcher stopped shelling, the last trench had basically been filled.

Fang Buwei had imagined burying landmines before, but since he had seen the Japanese artillery fire cover, he had never had the intention again.

Not to mention landmines, even buried bombs have long been detonated under such dense artillery fire.

In order to realize the fantasy of "destroying China in three months", this battle was purely a cost-effective way.

In his previous life, Fang Buwei saw the confession of the commander-in-chief of the Japanese dispatched army, Matsui Ishienen, the highest commander of the Japanese army in the Battle of Shanghai, when he was defeated and was later disclosed by the US military, and the military notes and diaries of Matsui Ishienen when he captured the sea and Nanjing.

By early October, the Japanese army's heavy firepower ammunition could not keep up.

Ammunition including bombers, infantry guns, tank guns, and grenade launchers.

Matsui Ishione directly reduced the daily ammunition firing of heavy firepower weapons to one fifth.

From one base of one hundred pieces, it has been reduced to twenty pieces.

Unless it is a major battle, it will be rationed in a centralized manner.

In fact, the same is true in China.

For the Battle of Shanghai, the chairman even fought hard for his family.
