1 minute and 30 seconds later.
There was a sudden explosion from the vanguard of the Japanese army.
Liang Xiao was overjoyed. This was the sound of cluster explosions of grenades, which meant that Lin Nan and others had succeeded.
"Quick, keep firing."
He immediately ordered to use the sound of mortars to cover up the explosion just now, and cover the retreat of Lin Nan and others.
On the battlefield full of artillery fire, Lin Nan brought a few soldiers in Japanese uniforms all the way back.
"Report to the director, the students led people to blow up two tanks and two armored vehicles."
Lin Nan returned to the position and immediately came to report.
"Good job, I'll write this down for you."
Liang Xiaole laughed loudly, the Japanese army without tanks and armored vehicles is equivalent to the wolf losing its sharp teeth.
"The artillery fire was extended, and the frontline troops attacked, completely annihilating the vanguard of the Japanese army."
Liang Xiaoyue acted on his behalf and gave an order.
Seeing that the tanks and armored vehicles of the Japanese army had really been blown up, Song Xilian stared wide-eyed. He couldn't believe that he actually used this method to blow up the Japanese army's iron king.
Boom boom boom...after a burst of shelling.
The charge horn sounded.
With the coordination of the guard battalion and the machine gun battalion of the special warfare brigade, the bridgehead troops launched a counter-charge towards the vanguard of the Japanese army.
As soon as the sound of the guns stopped, before the vanguard of the Japanese army could react, they saw a large number of Chinese troops rushing up. Machine guns and submachine guns formed a fierce firepower and fired at them. A large number of Japanese troops fell under the guns of the Chinese troops. .
Seeing this scene through binoculars, the Japanese commander grinned angrily. The Celestial Army at Baoshan Bridge was at the end of its strength, so how could they still have the strength to launch a counter-charge.
"Die to give."
The commander of the Japanese army draws...the katana and orders the follow-up troops to immediately.
The strength of the Japanese army lies in the fact that they have the courage to fight hand-to-hand with any army without fear of short soldiers.
,.
However, the commander of the Celestial Army on the opposite side is not capable of hand-to-hand combat.
,.
When Liang Xiao saw that the vanguard of the Japanese army was almost wiped out, he immediately ordered the artillery to advance 200 meters to reach the vanguard of the Japanese army.
Boom boom boom...the mortars are booming again.
The target of the bombing this time was the artillery position behind the Japanese forward position.
In this kind of positional warfare, it is most taboo to place artillery in the forward position, but the Japanese commander was too confident. He thought that the invincible imperial soldiers could easily take the Baoshan Bridge position with the assistance of tanks and armored vehicles, but he did not expect , the Chinese army suddenly launched a counter-charge, wiped out the vanguard, and the artillery position was completely exposed to the artillery fire of the Chinese army.
A round of shells passed.
I saw dust flying from the artillery positions of the Japanese army, and the mortars were blown to pieces.
A large number of Japanese artillerymen were killed, and some were blown to the sky.
The first round of shells is over, and the second round of shells is fired immediately after.
Repeatedly, the Japanese artillery position was blown into ruins, and there were craters everywhere. One shell just hit the Japanese artillery magazine, causing a large explosion. Within a radius of more than ten meters, it was destroyed by artillery fire into a piece of scorched earth.
The air wave from the explosion knocked the Japanese commander to the ground.
He got up from the ground, ignored the embarrassment, and hurriedly picked up the binoculars to see that the Celestial Army did not engage in hand-to-hand combat with the Imperial soldiers.
,, They took machine guns and submachine guns and swept across a large area, and a large number of Japanese soldiers fell under their guns.
He looked back and saw that the artillery positions were in a mess, all the mortars and [-] infantry guns were blown up, and the artillery of a squadron was completely shattered.
Without artillery support, it is difficult to give full play to their advantages.
The Japanese commander thought again and again, and ordered the withdrawal of troops to Jiaotong University, two kilometers away from Baoshan Bridge, to use the fortifications there to resist the charge of the Chinese army.
"withdraw."
A large number of Japanese troops began to retreat.
After the Chinese army wiped out more than 100 Japanese soldiers who charged, they chased the retreating Japanese army fiercely. On the way from Baoshan Bridge to Jiaotong University, there was no solid fortification to defend, and the Japanese army who had no time to retreat were shot to death by the Chinese army.
Liang Xiao saw through the binoculars that the troops had chased for a kilometer, and hurriedly ordered the troops to retreat. As the saying goes, the poor should not pursue. The reason why the Japanese retreated was because they lost the advantages of tanks, armored vehicles and artillery. If they pursue alone, they will only fall into the trap of the Japanese. In anti-encirclement, it is better to accept it as soon as it is good.
"Brigade Commander Liang is worthy of being a student that the principal values. This battle is enough to make you famous."
Song Xilian lamented that this war can be regarded as a classic battle. Under the disadvantaged battle situation, he fought every step of the way, first destroyed the Japanese tanks and armored vehicles, and then bombarded the Japanese artillery positions, using machine guns and submachine guns to form a firepower net, sweeping away The Japanese infantry, the last Japanese army fled in embarrassment.
"It doesn't matter if you become famous, as long as you can kill Little Japan."
Liang Xiao didn't think so much, he beat devils not for personal fame and fortune, but for revenge for the common people who were brutally ravaged by the Japanese army.
"Order to go down, clean up the battlefield immediately, and order the engineers to build fortifications. After this defeat, it is impossible for the Japanese army to attack again today, but it will definitely come back tomorrow."
Liang Xiao understood the combat habits of the Japanese army, they would never be willing to fail.
"Okay, I'll order right away."
Song Xilian nodded hurriedly, as long as he can win the battle, it would be fine for him to obey Liang Xiao's orders.....
In this battle, a total of more than 200 Japanese soldiers were wiped out, a squadron of artillery was destroyed, two tanks, two armored vehicles, more than 100 March 20th guns, more than [-] pistols, three heavy machine guns, and several other military supplies were captured.
From the beginning of the war to the present, the casualties between the German armorers and the Japanese army are two to one, and the highest casualties of other troops are seven to one. In this small-scale positional battle, the casualty ratio is one to five and 55. It is definitely a classic small Large-scale counterattack.
Chapter 489 The Two Sides Confronted
As for...the Japanese's [-] large Gai and other weapons, Liang Xiao looked down on them, all he wanted was the bombed armored vehicles and tanks.
Song Xilian was very generous about this, and they would not use the iron king of the Japanese army, and it would be a waste to keep it, instead, it would be better to give it to Liang Xiao as a favor.
In this battle, Liang Xiao helped him defend the position of Baoshan Bridge, and even defeated the Japanese army. He should express his feelings and reason, but they looked down on the rags of the Japanese army and insisted not to. He happened to use the slope to get off the donkey. No, it doesn’t mean he doesn’t like it. Although his 36th division is a German weapon division, but the weapons are very worn out. Many firearms have to be sent to the arsenal for repairs. These more than 100 guns and [-] big covers are just issued to the soldiers. .
Liang Xiao called someone over and asked him to go up and see if it could be repaired.
The guard who repaired the car climbed in and fumbled for a while. The damage to the tank was not serious, and some parts could be repaired by welding. It’s just that the armored car is not easy to repair, and many parts inside have been blown up beyond recognition. To repair it, the armored soldiers must The army's professional repairman came with parts and tools.
Liang Xiao ordered the guard battalion to bring the tanks and armored vehicles back to Bazi Baba Bridge first. After saying goodbye to Song Xilian, he rushed back to the headquarters of the special warfare brigade and called the armored regiment himself, asking them to send professional repairmen to bring parts to Bazi Bridge. Baba Bridge Special Operations Brigade Headquarters.
The Armored Regiment fully agreed. After all, Liang Xiao is the powerful leader of the Military Intelligence Department. There is no need to offend him for such a trivial matter.
The position of the special warfare brigade remained silent all day.
Liang Xiao estimated that the Japanese army would launch a fierce attack tomorrow. The war in Shanghai is at a critical stage. If the Japanese army wants to gain the upper hand, it must quickly capture Shanghai and join the main force of the Japanese army landing outside Shanghai. Time is precious to the Chinese army. It is equally valuable to the Japanese army.
However, he will not let the Japanese army stop.
He quickly ordered a feint attack on the Japanese army's position tonight, so they wouldn't even have time to sleep.
In the evening, after having dinner at the headquarters, he went to the next room and fell asleep soundly.
After entering the night, the Bazibabaqiao, Patriotic Girls' School, and Sandaoxiangkou's special operations brigade troops continuously harassed the Japanese positions. , which made the Japanese army exhausted.
The next morning.
The sky was drizzling.
Now it is late August, which is the season with frequent autumn rains.
Light rain began to fall, washing away the gunpowder smoke from the battlefield and refreshing the air.
The Chinese and Japanese troops are all on guard in their respective positions.
The Japanese army didn't sleep last night last night, and their spirits were extremely poor. Many soldiers could not help dozing off when they were on guard.
The Ninth Mixed Brigade of the Japanese Army, commanding Xiaojima Xiongying took the information in his hand and cursed: Lu, damn the intelligence agency, a bunch of idiots, gave them a day, and found out that the number of the Chinese army on the opposite side was a special warfare brigade, unknown , What's the use of these trash like them."
"Your Excellency, brigade commander, calm down, no matter...
What is the background of the China Special Warfare Brigade, we must make a quick decision, continue to move forward, and join the 11th Division as soon as possible.”
Xiaojima Xiongying sneered: "The progress of the 11th Division is too slow. After they landed in Chuanshakou, they only advanced [-] kilometers for three consecutive days. After fighting for many days, we have advanced ten kilometers in a row. Do you want my Ninth Mixed Brigade to fight all the way to Chuanshakou to join them?"
"Your Excellency, the military department has repeatedly urged us to move forward..."
The staff officer wants to remind Kojima Takato that the orders of the military must not be disobeyed.
Xiaodao Xiongying interrupted him: "The military department doesn't know the situation on the battlefield at all. The China Special Forces Brigade opposite us is definitely a strong force. It is not appropriate to launch an attack until they have figured out their strength and weaponry."
"Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, I'm sorry to say that you are afraid of war......"
The staff officer bowed halfway, "Ba Ga."
Xiaodao Yingying turned around... a few big ears, and roared: "The lives of the warriors of the empire are not for ruin, they have to sacrifice their souls and bodies for the holy war of the empire, and die on the way of charging, not at all. A meaningless death."
"Hi."
The staff officer was slapped a few times, and he immediately became honest. The Japanese army has a strict hierarchy, and the superior has absolute control over the subordinates. The behavior of forcing the superior like the staff officer is a little serious, and he will be shot on the spot.
"The order is passed on, and the frontline departments enter the defensive stage, urging the idiots of the secret service agency to find out the staffing and weaponry of the special warfare brigade, as well as the background information of their officers."
Xiaojima Eagle ordered.
"Hi."
The staff officer hurried down to deliver the order.
A large part of the reason why Kojima Eagle did not attack was because his brigade had been fighting for several days, supplies were not available, and the soldiers were in low spirits.
Bazi Baba Bridge Headquarters.
Liang Xiao waited for the Japanese army to attack, but found that the Japanese army in the opposite position did not have the slightest attack posture, which was much beyond his expectation.
Since the Japanese army is not attacking, he is also happy to confront, anyway...he received the order to guard the Bazi Baba bridge and the patriotic girls' school, Sandaoxiangkou.
"Brigade, General Zhang of the Ninth Army is calling."
Chu Xiangxue quickly brought over the telegram he had just received.
"read."
"The war in Shanghai is at a critical juncture. I hope that your department will expand the results of the battle and drive the enemy's [-]th Mixed Brigade back to the Jiangwan headquarters, so as to reduce the living space of the Japanese army in Shanghai."
A look of displeasure flashed across Liang Xiao's eyes. The Special Operations Brigade was directly under the jurisdiction of the Military and Political Council, and had no affiliation with the Ninth Army. The teacher sent a power call to let him expand his achievements, which meant that he would take the initiative to attack, but now is not the time to attack at all. The Ninth Mixed Brigade has more than 8000 people. Although it divides its troops to attack multiple positions, it still surpasses the Special Operations Brigade in terms of strength and equipment. If it takes the initiative to attack, it will inevitably cause heavy casualties. This is what he does not want to see .
"Call back, our department is looking for fighter planes to severely damage the enemy's Ninth Mixed Brigade."
"Yes."
"In the future, except for the telegrams from the Military and Political Council, such as the telegrams sent by General Zhang, don't bother with them."
"Yes."
This is not because Liang Xiao is disrespectful to the teacher, but this kind of commanding telegram is absolutely not what he is willing to accept.
Moreover, the soldiers of the Special Operations Brigade are special forces fed by him from the ocean, and they shouldn't be sacrificed on the regular battlefield.
Chapter 4 The Loyalty and National Salvation Army goes to the battlefield
The war entered a tense stage. With powerful firepower, the Japanese landing troops forced forward under the cover of naval guns and aircraft shells. The war was fought extremely fiercely. The two Sichuan soldiers on the left-wing front, within a day, all A heroic martyrdom, a mixed brigade of the Central Army on the right wing just entered the position, all died in the battle within two hours, and no one survived.
On the frontal battlefield, German armed forces such as the 36th Division, 98th Division, and Special Operations Brigade are firmly guarding some areas of Shanghai under the Japanese attack. Judging from the current battle, after the Japanese army landed on the beach, it is bound to enter Shanghai and follow the Japanese army in Shanghai. Convergence, to encircle and annihilate the Chinese army in Shanghai, and the Chinese army also saw the Japanese army's attempt, relying on terrain and fortifications to block.
A few months ago, the committee listened to Liang Xiao's suggestion and deployed heavy troops in the Songhu area to build fortifications. This time the Japanese landed and fought, it just came in handy.
The Japanese aircraft and artillery were very powerful, and the national army relied on the defense fortifications built in advance to drag them firmly to the outskirts of Shanghai, preventing them from joining the Japanese army in the city.
The war has reached this point, beyond the expectations of the Japanese. According to their plan, Shanghai will be captured within one month, and the Chinese Empire will be wiped out within three months. In their dreams, they underestimated the combat effectiveness of the Chinese army, especially the German armorers on the front line in Shanghai. Their combat effectiveness was almost equal to that of the Japanese army. If they were under the same firepower, the Japanese army might not be able to beat the German armorers.
The Military and Political Council pinned their hope of victory on the German troops on the Shanghai battlefield, hoping that they could drive the Japanese army out of Shanghai in one go, and thus win the victory in the Shanghai battlefield.
However, the German Armor Divisions in the Shanghai battlefield suffered heavy losses. The 88th and 87th German Armor Divisions had retreated to the rear to rest. The 36th and 98th Divisions on the front line also suffered heavy casualties, and the losses of the special warfare brigade were relatively small. Even if the troops are stretched to hold the position, how can they have the strength to attack.
Special Operations Brigade, Command.
Wearing a camouflage combat uniform, Liang Xiao was sitting on a chair in the headquarters, holding a rag in his hand, and was carefully cleaning a delicate Browning pistol.
"General, the Military and Political Council has sent a telegram ordering the Loyalty and National Salvation Army to go to the left-wing battlefield and replace the Central Army's Wu Qiwei's Fourth Army to hold the position."
Chu Xiangxue read while holding the latest received telegram.
Liang Xiao slowly put down the Browning pistol, got up and walked to the military map, his sight slowly fell on the blank area between Lion Grove and Luodian, Wu Qiwei's Fourth Army was defending this blank area main force.
As far as he knows, this blank area is almost being blasted into scorched earth by Japanese aircraft and cannons. Wu Qiwei's Fourth Army has more than 2 people. It took only three days to enter the position, and the staff was seriously reduced by one third. It can be said that it is very vigorous. hurt.
