It seems that the situation of the 2st Brigade and the [-]nd [-]nd Brigade is very good. As soon as they entered the position, they were hit by artillery fire. If the arrogance of the Japanese army is not suppressed, the Japanese army will attack one after another.

"Reporter seat."

"The Loyalty and National Salvation Army has sent a telegram that the Japanese army is moving to the northwest, intending to attack their true land."

The telegrapher read anxiously.

"Call the Loyalty and National Salvation Army and tell them to stand firm and not attack without orders."

Liang Xiao was worried that the Japanese army was playing a trick of attacking the west, so he ordered the Loyalty and Nation Salvation Army to stand firm and wait until dawn to find out the Japanese army's firepower deployment before making a decision.

"Yes."

The operator turned to generate electricity.

"Guards, go and invite Li Feng, the captain of the Special Operations Brigade, to the division headquarters."

Liang Xiao said.

"Yes."

The guards immediately carried out the order.

after a while.

Li Feng, who was dressed in a major's camouflage uniform, came in from the division headquarters. He was a tall and sturdy man, with a gleam in his eyes.

He is about 26 and seven years old, a standard northern man, graduated from the Northwest Army Lecture Hall, entered special warfare by chance, received training from the national instructor, performed outstandingly during the training, and was trained by the national instructor for special operations.

During the Shanghai War, Li Feng led a company of troops to sneak attack on the artillery position of the Japanese Ninth Mixed Brigade. His actions were swift and violent, which was the essence of special operations.

This time when the special warfare brigade was established, Liang Xiao made him the captain of the brigade and promoted him to the rank of major.

"Teacher seat."

Li Feng respected the standard military salute.

Liang Xiao nodded lightly, and said, "I have a task for you."

"Please give instructions, Master."

Li Feng's voice was loud.

"Quickly find out the firepower deployment of the Ninth Division, especially the position of their artillery positions, and grab a few tongues and come back."

Liang Xiao ordered.

"Yes."

Li Feng quickly turned around and left.

Command.

Dimly lit.

Liang Xiao sat on a chair, studying the military map hanging on the wall.

Judging from the Sino-Japanese territory marked on the map, the Japanese army has advanced a full [-] kilometers since landing, and is already close to the downtown area of ​​Shanghai. As long as Luodian and Baoshan are opened up, the Japanese army will be able to complete the encirclement of Shanghai.

Therefore, the two locations of Luodian and Baoshan are very important.

The headquarters also noticed this, and the [-]th Army of Chen Cheng's civil engineering department guarded Luodian, and the [-]th Army, the main force of the Guangxi Army, guarded Baoshan.

These two armies are well-deserved elite troops of the national army. With them guarding the throat of entering Shanghai, the Japanese army would never want to enter Shanghai.

However, in Wusong, Yuepu and other places, the Japanese army assembled a large number of troops to attack. If Wusong and Yuepu were lost, the Japanese army could cut off the retreat of the Chinese troops stationed in Luodian and Baoshan, and surrounded the Seventh Army tactically. No. 18 Army.

Therefore, places such as Wusong and Yuepu must not be lost.

On the outskirts of Wusong Town, two regiments of the Ninth Division of the Japanese Army, an artillery brigade, and a tank squadron attacked Wusong from four directions.

In terms of military strength, Liang Xiao has a full [-] troops, which is six times the strength of the Japanese army.

In terms of firepower, the firepower of Liang Xiao's troops is stronger than that of the Japanese army. The whole division has more than 400 artillery pieces of various types, and the shells are abundant. In terms of firearms, the special warfare division is equipped with German weapons. There are more than 2000 light and heavy machine guns, but the Japanese army is much inferior in artillery shooting. The firepower of the Japanese army's regular divisions is equipped with light weapons such as mortars, grenades, crooked handles, and [-] large covers.

But the two regiments of the Ninth Division in front of him were equipped with artillery battalions and tank squadrons.

Even if he has the advantage in firepower, this battle is not easy to fight. The Japanese army has superiority in sea and air, but he only has the advantage in terrain and firepower.

However, he was not so pessimistic. After the Ninth Division landed, they had been attacking Wusong continuously for several days, and they were exhausted. They had to rely on one breath to hold on. As long as they held the position firmly, they waited for the opportunity to move after the Japanese army was frustrated.

Chapter 557 The Great War Begins

The next day, the sky just dawned, the fog filled the air, and there was light rain in the sky.

Looking at the weather today, the rain will gradually increase at noon.

In such bad weather, Japanese planes dare not come out.

This gave Liang Xiao a chance to breathe.

Wearing a camouflage combat uniform, he took the staff officers of the division to inspect the frontline positions.

The positions of the 2nd and [-]nd Brigade of Special Warfare were the main target of the Japanese attack.

He came to the real site of the 2nd and 2nd Brigade, and saw that the soldiers of the [-]nd and [-]nd Brigade were doing their best to repair the position, and expanded and modified the position.

"Master, our department is rushing to repair the fortifications, please give instructions."

The brigade commander Qi Ming brought the officers of the 2nd and [-]nd Brigade to greet him.

Liang Xiao waved his hand: "I have nothing to teach, just to see how you are preparing."

"I guessed that the Japanese army would launch an attack after the fog cleared, and use the blank time to repair and change the fortifications. The fortifications built by the Central Army are really not flattering. The tunnels are too shallow, and there are flaws in many places. Take the air-raid shelter. For example, as soon as the Japanese fighter plane dropped a shell, the air-raid shelter would be blown up.”

Qi Ming said.

"The fortifications of the Central Army are really not very good."

Liang Xiao has a deep understanding of this,

"The base intends to change the ground into a circular defense ground, using machine guns to form a firepower network. If the Japanese infantry attack, use machine gun fire to repel them. If the Japanese army attacks with the coordination of armored vehicles, cover them with artillery fire. With our artillery shells , There is absolutely no problem in holding the position.”

Qi Ming said confidently.

Liang Xiao said in a deep voice: "Most of the 2nd and [-]nd Brigade are recruits. It is the first time to fight against the Japanese. You must guide them correctly and pay attention to the morale of the troops."

This is the most worrying factor for Liang Xiao.

The two supplementary units of the 2nd and 2nd Brigade are both newly formed units of the local security regiment. Although they have undergone short-term special training, the effect is not great, and their combat effectiveness cannot be compared with that of the 2st Brigade. A squadron of the teaching team, there are mixed-in German weapon masters, and the old foundation of the special warfare brigade. These... mixed teams are mixed together to form the current special warfare Two [-] Brigade.

"Master, don't worry, the humble staff and the chief of staff have discussed this issue many times, and there are many solutions, so I guarantee that there will be no problems."

Qi Ming said.

"As long as you are ready, take me to see your position."

Liang Xiao said.

"Master seat, this way please."

Qi Ming said.

Accompanied by officers from the 2nd and 2nd Brigade, Liang Xiao inspected the positions of the [-]nd and [-]nd Brigade.

Afterwards, he rushed to the position of the first brigade and inspected it. The first brigade was the old foundation of the special operations battalion. After the Battle of Shanghai, the combat quality of the soldiers and officers improved a lot. Although a new batch of soldiers was added, the vitality of the first brigade He is not injured, and his combat effectiveness will only get stronger and stronger, so he has great confidence in the first brigade to hold the position.

After inspecting the position of the special warfare division, he hurried to the position of the Loyalty and National Salvation Army.

Compared with the Special Warfare Division, the combat effectiveness and equipment of the Loyalty and Nation Salvation Army are far behind.

However, compared with the ordinary troops of the Central Army, the combat effectiveness of the Loyalty and National Salvation Army is still very high.

Moreover, this time he equipped the Loyalty and National Salvation Army with artillery and dispatched hundreds of machine guns.

As far as firepower is concerned, although it is slightly inferior to the Japanese army, it will not differ too much.

As long as they stick to their positions and come out, the Japanese army will not be short of their positions.

After inspecting the position, he rushed back to Wusong Town before ten o'clock. At this time, the fog had gradually dissipated and the rain was expanding.

"Master, I just received a telegram from the Ninth Army asking you to go to the Chief's Department for a meeting tonight."

Chu Xiangxue said.

"understood."

Liang Xiao said in a deep voice.

"Master Seat..."

Boom, a dull thunderous explosion interrupted Tang Menghan's words.

This explosion sounded the prelude to the Japanese attack.

"Master seat, the latest military situation at Shanghai station."

Tang Menghan handed the telegram to Liang Xiao.

He took the telegram and looked at it, and was stunned. The bloody battle in Luodian, the national army lost its position! How is this possible? In history, Luodian was called a mill of flesh and blood. How could it be possible to lose positions in just a few days? "Call the Shanghai station and let them pay close attention to the movements of the Japanese army."

Liang Xiao handed the telegram back to Tang Menghan.

"Yes."

Tang Menghan turned around to generate electricity.

Outside.

The fierce cannon sounds seemed to explode the earth.

The 2rd Regiment of the [-]th Division, under the cover of tanks, charged towards the positions of the [-]nd and [-]nd Brigade of Special Warfare.

The 2nd and [-]nd Brigade of Special Warfare carried out artillery coverage immediately after the enemy tanks entered the range of the artillery fire.

A pass of dense shells passed, four Japanese tanks were blown up, and the vanguard left dozens of Japanese corpses, alternately covering the retreat.

The Japanese commander Yoshida Dazuo, who was watching the battle from the opposite position, was shocked. How could this be possible? How could the Chinese army on the opposite side have such fierce firepower? Could it be that the Chinese army on the opposite side received artillery supplements? "The headquarters called.

"According to the intelligence agency's confirmation, the garrison of Wusong Town is the China Special Warfare Division, whose predecessor was the Special Warfare Brigade of the Shanghai Battlefield."

There was a sudden realization on Yoshida Colonel's face.

It turned out to be the ace unit of the Celestial Army, no wonder it has such powerful firepower.

"Special Operator..."

A flash of excitement flashed in Yoshida Colonel's eyes.

The Shanghai Dispatch Army was... defeated by the Special Operations Brigade.

He wants to end the myth of the special warfare brigade and destroy this trump card army.

"The artillery is ready, concentrate the shells, bombard the front position, the tanks cover the infantry's charge, and die..."

One command.

The artillery battalion began firing mortars.

Mortars have a limited range and can only reach the forward positions of the defenders.

The vanguard of the Japanese army rested for a while, and under the cover of twelve tanks and armored vehicles, they charged towards the opposite Chinese army position.

In this charge, the vanguard of the Japanese army learned the lesson of the last time, and the tanks and armored vehicles spread out to the greatest extent, and slowly advanced in a pin-shaped formation.

In this way, the artillery fire of the defenders cannot implement large-scale coverage.

Qi Ming stood outside the headquarters, calm and calm.

The Japanese army spread out and attacked, which was not conducive to artillery strikes.

However, it had no effect.

Since the Japanese army wanted to help him save shells, why should he waste them.

"Order the frontline troops, wait for the Japanese tanks to enter the firing range, the snipers in the frontline positions will destroy the Japanese soldiers around the tanks, light and heavy machine guns do not fire yet, wait for the enemy tanks to enter within 200 meters, fire grenades and machine guns together, and put them close to the enemy's tanks Tanks, sniping the enemy infantry with all their strength."

Qi Ming ordered.

Chapter 558 Fighter Plane Arrives, Master Think Twice

Command.

Holding the binoculars, Liang Xiao saw the Japanese army charging towards the position of the 2nd and [-]nd Brigade under the cover of tanks and armored vehicles. The Japanese army's offensive formation was greatly dispersed, making it impossible for the defenders' artillery fire to cover a large area.
