A young staff officer came in from the headquarters and saluted: "Brigade, the 36th Division can't stand it anymore, they sent a liaison officer to see you."

Liang Xiao was sitting on a chair, holding a wooden pole in his hand, studying the military map, and said without looking back: "Let him in."

"Yes."

The staff went out and called people in.

The liaison officer sent by the 3rd Division was a lieutenant colonel.

"Brigade, I came to ask for help under the order of the division. The Japanese army launched a violent attack on the women's, medical university and Baoshan bridge positions. The front line of our department has been torn open by the Japanese army. Without the support of reinforcements, I will not be able to survive at 36." tomorrow morning."

The lieutenant colonel liaison officer saluted.

Liang Xiao looked at the map, the position of the 36th Division was connected to the position of the Special Operations Brigade, if their positions were lost, the Japanese army could turn around and flank the Special Operations Brigade, and the Special Operations Brigade would be attacked by the enemy.

"How many troops does Song Xilian want me to send for support?"

Liang Xiao asked straightforwardly.

"The teacher said that although the Japanese army on your side is not attacking, if they send a large force to reinforce, the Japanese army will take the opportunity to launch an attack. He hopes that you can send about two battalions: support with troops, and it would be better if you have artillery support. "

Lieutenant Colonel Liaison Officer.

"You go back."

Liang Xiao waved his hand.

The lieutenant colonel's liaison officer's joy disappeared in an instant, what does it mean "Brigade seat..."

"Go back and tell Song Xilian that in an hour, I will personally lead the troops to support him."

Liang Xiao wouldn't do anything to save them, they were all fighting against the Japanese. On the battlefield, they should fight together and advance and retreat together. Besides, if the 36th Division's position was lost, he would be attacked by the enemy. Helping the 36th Division is...helping himself.

"Yes, I'm sorry to say goodbye."

The Lieutenant Colonel's liaison officer was overjoyed when he saw that Liang Xiao had agreed to send troops for reinforcements.

He went out from the command post, Liang Xiao gave the order, the machine gun battalion and the guard battalion followed him to support the 36th division, and the mortar battalion pulled out six guns, carrying [-] rounds of shells, and went with him.

The position of the Special Operations Brigade was handed over to Sun Bing, the head of the first regiment. If the Japanese army launched an attack, they would be beaten back with the help of strong fortifications. If the Japanese army did not launch an attack, they would not be able to hold on.

On the headquarters side, the combat staff and the communications department and other logistics agencies were all left behind. He only took the guards and the confidential military secretary Tang Menghan, and the confidential military secretary Chu Xiangxue stayed behind.

After tidying up, Liang Xiao personally led the troops towards the 36th Division's position.

Chapter 487 The Battlefield Is Dangerous

Baoshan Bridge position.

Under the cover of tanks, the Japanese army successively captured the front and second positions of the 36th Division with an unstoppable advancing speed. Under the cover of tanks, the Japanese army had rushed to the bridge head of Baoshan Bridge.

3th Division Headquarters.

Song Xilian saw through the binoculars that after breaking through the second position, the Japanese army rushed towards the bridgehead position under the cover of tanks and armored vehicles.

The bridgehead position is the last barrier of Baoshan Bridge. If the bridgehead position is lost, Baoshan Bridge will be completely lost.

"Order the guard battalion and the pistol battalion of the division headquarters to go up, and they must withstand it. The bridge is there, and the bridge is dead."

Song Xilian gave the death order.

"Don't worry, Commander. The guard battalion has prepared [-] kilograms of explosives. If the bridgehead position is lost, immediately blow up Baoshan Bridge and cut off the Japanese army's advance."

Staff said.

Song Xilian nodded helplessly. Right now, this is the only way to stop the Japanese army from attacking. But blowing up the bridge is the only way to go. If the battle situation is not out of control, blowing up the bridge must not be done.

"When will reinforcements arrive?"

"Commander Xia promised to send a battalion of troops to support us, and it should be here soon. The Special Operations Brigade promised to send two battalions of troops to support us, and they will arrive soon."

Song Xilian didn't have any troops on hand now, so he could only hope that the reinforcements would arrive and drive the Japanese troops from the bridgehead position.

"Report."

"Brigade Commander Liang of the Special Warfare Brigade personally led the reinforcements to come."

"I'm going out to meet him."

Song Xilian hurried out from the headquarters.

outside the headquarters.

Liang Xiao came here with Chen Hua and his confidential secretary Tang Menghan with equipment such as radios and walkie-talkies.

"Brigade Commander Liang."

As if seeing a savior, Song Xilian rushed up to hold Liang Xiao's hand.

"Mr. Song, on the way here just now, Liang found that the Japanese army under the cover of tanks charged towards the bridgehead position. If the bridgehead is lost, the Baoshan Bridge position will undoubtedly be lost."

Liang Xiao said.

Song Xilian did not know this truth, and said: "The Japanese tanks and armored vehicles are always disadvantageous. Although our 36th Division is a German weaponry unit, it does not have heavy artillery. It cannot pose a threat to the Japanese tanks and armored vehicles. It can only fight steadily and rely on fortifications." position."

"Perseverance is not the answer."

Liang Xiao frowned.

"Brigade Commander Liang, what can we do?"

Song Xilian hurriedly asked.

"This is not a place to talk, let's go in and talk."

Liang Xiao took the lead directly, ignored Song Xilian's surprise, and went straight to the headquarters of the 36th Division.

Liang Xiao came to the military map, carefully looked at it for a while..., and said: "The heavy artillery troops are deployed in the outskirts of Shanghai. Even if we call for reinforcements from the heavy artillery troops now, it will be too late."

"We can only rely on fortifications to fight steadily. If we can't resist, we will blow up Baoshan Bridge and cut off the Japanese army's way forward."

Song Xilian said.

"Don't blow up the bridge unless it is absolutely necessary."

Liang Xiao shook his head slightly, Baoshan Bridge was of great importance to the army of the Celestial Dynasty, if it was blown up like this, the loss would be great.

"Song also knew that it was a last resort, but my 36th Division came from a long way away and was exhausted, and without the assistance of artillery troops, I was unable to defend Baoshan Bridge."

Song Xilian said bluntly.

"Mr. Song, don't be sad, Liang has a solution."

Liang Xiao instructed Chen Hua, "Call Lin Nan in."

"Yes."

Chen Hua turned around and walked out quickly.

A moment later, Lin Nan in camouflage uniform walked into the headquarters and saluted, "What is the director's order for the students?"

"You choose a few nimble brothers, put on the clothes of Japanese soldiers, and tie up the grenades together. I will order mortars to bombard the Japanese vanguard with all its strength. You take this opportunity to lead people to blow up Japanese tanks and armored vehicles."

Liang Xiao ordered solemnly.

"Please rest assured, Director, the students will definitely live up to your expectations."

Lin Nan took the order without hesitation.

"The battlefield is extremely dangerous, so be careful."

Liang Xiao said with concern, after all, he is his student, and he has a little more intimacy than other officers and soldiers.

"Students will pay attention."

Lin Nan paid a military salute, turned around and left.

Song Xilian frowned, and asked the soldiers' flesh and blood to blow up tanks and armored vehicles. Is this possible? You know, the Japanese army's iron kings are not easy to deal with, bullets can't penetrate them, and shells can't blow them up.

"Mr. Song, I'm going to the bridgehead position, please give orders to your bridgehead position, so that they all obey my orders."

Liang Xiao said.

Song Xilian frowned, Liang Xiao's move undoubtedly meant to overwhelm the host, but considering that the other party was sincerely supporting the 36th Division, he said: "Song will accompany you to the bridgehead position, and the command will be given to Brigadier Liang."

Liang Xiao nodded, walked out of the headquarters first, and walked towards the bridgehead position.

Bridge position.

Under the cover of tanks and armored vehicles, the Japanese army had rushed to a distance of [-] meters from the bridge head.

The units of the 36th Division guarding the bridgehead could not even raise their heads under the fierce Japanese artillery fire.

Liang Xiao ordered the guard battalion and the machine gun battalion to enter the bridgehead position, and six mortars lined up behind the position.

"Adjust orientation."

"Reload."

"fire."

Follow one command after another.

Six mortars bombarded the vanguard of the Japanese army.

This time to support the 36th Division, he brought a full 10 rounds of mortar shells, and each mortar averaged [-] rounds of shells, fired without intervals, and could bombard the Japanese army for about [-] minutes.

Boom.

Six mortars fired, and the shells hit the vanguard of the attacking Japanese army.

In the distance, dust and gunpowder smoke filled the air, and the vanguard of the Japanese army suspended their offensive under the bombardment of artillery fire.

"fire."

The six mortars shot out one after another with almost no pause.

The artillery fire of the Japanese army extended to the direction of the bridgehead, and the dust was flying up. Liang Xiao observed carefully behind the bridgehead position and found that the Japanese artillery unit was hidden behind the Japanese forward position.

"Wang San was stunned."

"arrive."

"Can your artillery fire reach the forward positions of the Japanese army?"

"Report to the brigade, it can't be reached, the distance is too far, and it is beyond the range of the mortar."

"The artillery positions of the Japanese army are hidden behind the front positions. How can we destroy their artillery positions?"

"Report to the brigade seat. If you advance another 100 meters, you will be able to reach the front position of the Japanese army."

Liang Xiao looked at Wang San in a daze, this boy was a second-class artilleryman who was born in a local cannon, although he did not go to a professional artillery school, he was quite talented in shooting cannons.

"You take two cannons, move quietly to the forward position, and after a while... launch a counter-charge, you take the cannons and follow behind the large army, and look for opportunities to blow up the opponent's artillery positions."

"Yes."

After 2 minutes of shelling, Liang Xiao ordered mortars to cover it, and Lin Nan led someone to touch it quietly.

"Brigade Commander Liang, is this too dangerous?"

Song Xilian frowned and said, he was worried that Liang Xiao's counterattack would make dumplings for the Japanese army.

"War is never dangerous. If Master Song is afraid, you can sit back and watch the battle."

There was a hint of coldness in Liang Xiao's voice.

"Song is not afraid..."

"Don't explain, look at the changes in the battlefield, you will have a different visual sense."

Liang Xiao laughed.

Chapter 488 Classic Battle

On the battlefield filled with gunpowder and smoke, the vanguard of the Japanese army under artillery fire from the Chinese army could not lift their heads. Lin Nan was wearing the clothes of Japanese soldiers and led a few soldiers. Taking advantage of the smoke and dust, and his sight was unclear, he quietly groped towards the Japanese tanks and armored vehicles.

The vanguard of the Japanese army was lying on the ground at the moment, and no one noticed that a few soldiers dressed exactly like them came over.

Seeing this scene, the commander of the Japanese army's forward position was greatly surprised. When did the artillery fire of the Chinese army last for so long?

Behind the bridgehead position, Liang Xiao was holding a telescope, but he couldn't see anything clearly.

At this time, he could only order the mortars to fire shells uninterruptedly, and use artillery fire to cover Lin Nan and the others.
