Age of Conquest Reborn

Chapter 431 "8.13" Baoshan Road

After receiving the order, Tang Qiusheng immediately led his troops to rush to the Shanghai area. He learned from the telegram from his chief of staff Chang Feng that the defense of Shanghai urban area and surrounding areas was currently undertaken by the troops of the Sulu Mobile Corps.

Two regiments of the Jiangsu Provincial Security Forces heard the Japanese artillery fire and disappeared long ago. General Zhang Zhizhong was so angry that he sent a military law team to chase them down the road and vowed to execute the two security regiment leaders on the spot.

The reinforcements from the three divisions of the Central Army will not arrive until tomorrow morning. It can be said that on the first day of the August 13th Battle in Shanghai, General Zhang Zhizhong commanded entirely troops from the ** Division, and there were also a few former Shanghai Municipal troops.

police force.

On the first day of the war, the Japanese Marine Corps, with more than 20,000 troops, relied on the pre-set positions in Hongkou District and opened fire on the Chinese police troops guarding the Songhu Railway from Tiantong'an Station to Yokohama Road. Under the cover of tanks, they fired at the Chinese police troops along Baoshan Road under the cover of tanks.

Those who attacked and organized defense in the Baoshan Road area were the troops of the Second Brigade of the Sulu Mobile Corps of the ** Division.

The soldiers of the third battalion of the regiment were lying calmly behind the fortifications. Battalion Commander Zhao Zitong sent someone to contact the Chinese police force and asked them to evacuate the position immediately after a slight resistance. The rest of the matter was left to us. He knew it well.

It was seen that the Shanghai police force did not even have a heavy machine gun. With the weapons in their hands, they could not withstand the attack of the Japanese Marine Corps.

But the police captain who led the team sent a subordinate to reply and thank the brothers for their kindness. They received the order from Commander Zhang Zhizhong to resolutely hold this position until the reinforcements arrived. The Japanese wanted to pass here, but they had to march on

Our corpses go over, otherwise, as long as there is still one person left, we will fight to the end.

Zhao Zitong was silent for a long time. He understood the thoughts of the police force and was moved by their determination to fight to the death. However, strength cannot be changed with passion. He could not watch hundreds of outstanding Chinese become Japanese soldiers needlessly.

objects of massacre.

However, he also knew very well that it was impossible for the police force to withdraw, and the defensive position space there was very narrow. It was impossible for a small battalion to move up. Instead, it would be killed by Japanese firepower. As a member of the ** Division

As a grassroots commander, he learned this principle on the first day he joined the army.

After careful consideration, he could not watch his brothers die. The only way was to strengthen their firepower. He decided to form a reinforced platoon to carry heavy firepower and resist the Japanese attack together with the police force. In this way, he could take care of the police force.

Their passion can also enhance their strength. This mission is very dangerous. The defensive positions of the police force are completely exposed to the firepower of the Japanese army. Anyone who goes there will be in danger of death.

To his surprise, the number of soldiers who signed up was almost more than a reinforced company. Each of them was a good rear guard in his own battalion. Eighty soldiers were selected to form a super luxurious reinforced platoon, carrying four anti-attack rifles.

Tank guns, eight mortars, heavy machine guns, twelve light machine guns, and the rest all carry Suomi submachine guns. They also specially bring three snipers, led by the deputy battalion commander himself.

Originally, Zhao Zitong wanted to lead the team in person, but he didn't grab the deputy battalion commander. He watched the eighty-one brothers pass through the billowing smoke and disappear in front. The sound of heavy machine guns in that direction was loud and clear.

The Japanese Type 92 heavy machine gun was firing concentrated fire, and his heart also flew there.

When the deputy battalion commander arrived with his team, the police force was in a tight situation. The Japanese Type 92 heavy machine gun and crooked light machine gun were beating like a storm. The sandbag fortifications peeled off layer by layer, and his two tings

Czech style, as soon as a magazine was fired, it was blasted into the sky by several mortar shells from the Japanese. The blood of the machine gunner combined with the machine gun parts turned into a rain of blood all over the sky.

The Hubei Tiaozi and Hanyang Tiaozi in the hands of the police were no match for the Japanese army. They were suppressed to the point where they could not raise their heads. The Japanese mortar bombs would blow up the hidden brothers to the sky from time to time. In less than thirty minutes of fighting, brothers

Nearly 200 people have been injured or killed. If this continues, the more than 400 people in his hands will be exhausted in less than two hours. The police captain's eyes are blazing, but there is nothing he can do.

The guy in his hand was not as good as others. At this time, he regretted that he did not listen to the words of the field troops and withdraw to their defense lines. They were experts, and his brothers were not meant to do this job. Seeing the Japanese army with superior firepower

Under the cover of the soldiers, they were dressed in blue military uniforms and rushed towards them like water, but the brothers could not even lift their heads, let alone raise their guns to shoot.

He broke out in a sweat and suddenly felt someone behind him tugging on his clothes. Looking back, a young officer with the rank of major was gesturing to him. The military uniform was obviously different from the common Central Army uniform. He couldn't care too much.

The ** team is the savior at this moment.

He saw that dozens of people who followed the major skillfully used various concealments to approach the forward position amidst the hail of bullets from the Japanese army. The Japanese machine gun bullets caused the sandbag fortifications to sprout with dirt.

These soldiers, as if they had not seen them, spread out in skirmish lines along the fortifications. Each person's position was the only way for the Japanese army to charge.

The police captain took a deep breath, and his heart dropped into his stomach. They are the troops that can fight. Look at the quality of these soldiers. His brothers are incomparable. Taking advantage of this opportunity, he knew

Which part of the troops came for reinforcements? The deputy battalion commander was so moved that he was speechless. He was saving his own life and the lives of hundreds of his brothers.

The soldiers of the third battalion poked at the policemen who were crouching down and holding their guns, trying to reduce the target as much as possible, and handed over the three grenades in their hands. Only then did these policemen realize that at some point, there were many more people wearing strange military uniforms around them.

The soldiers were looking at themselves with a smile and a joking expression. The policemen suddenly felt a little embarrassed and even let them touch them. If this was a Japanese devil, could they still save their lives?

In the Third Battalion, the soldiers showed their love, and the police realized that the purpose of giving them grenades was to wait for the Japanese to approach, and then throw them out. They followed the soldiers' example, leaning against the wall of the fortification and clinging to them.

Holding the grenade and listening carefully for the movement behind you, you can hear nothing but the stormy sound of the Japanese machine guns?

Looking at the soldiers around me, their eyes were half-closed, as if they were about to fall asleep, and my heart couldn't help but beat wildly, as if I heard the sound of countless Japanese leather shoes hitting the ground, ringing behind me.

When he was about to throw the grenade, a strong hand grasped his wrist tightly. The soldier's eyes became even more playful.

The soldiers of the third battalion were all staring at the deputy battalion commander who was commanding on the third floor. His order was the signal for everyone to drop bombs. There were three snipers there who were dedicated to dealing with the Japanese commander and soldiers of the ** division.

We are so used to fighting this kind of battle that we don't even feel the heartbeat. How could the policemen who were fighting with real swords and guns on the battlefield know all this?

In just a few minutes, but it seemed like a long few days, the small red flag of the deputy battalion commander's grenade suddenly waved. Almost at the same time, the soldiers of the third battalion raised the two grenades in their hands to the back at the same time.

Throw it out, followed by two more

Throwing grenades a few seconds later is the minimum training subject for ordinary soldiers in the ** division. The distance of reverse throwing of double grenades with one hand must not be less than 20 meters. This is the qualifying standard. Some masters can do it with one hand.

Three thunderbolts can be thrown backward for more than 30 meters. Of course, those are very few freaks.

Only then did the police react and hurriedly threw out the grenades. On Baoshan Road, which was only more than 20 meters wide, 80 *** soldiers, plus more than 200 surviving policemen, had more than 500 grenades, and

It is a loaded high-explosive grenade produced by the Dingbian Arsenal. After the explosion, not only the shrapnel can kill the enemy, but also the hundreds of small steel balls inside the missile are deadly.

A brigade of Japanese Marines who were howling and charging were immediately dealt a devastating blow. They had rushed less than 20 meters away from the position. Suddenly, on the seemingly empty position opposite, a black stork-like figure appeared.

Immediately, there was a roar of explosions, shrapnel flying across the air, and steel balls as thin as grains of rice quickly penetrated into the bodies of the Japanese soldiers, and some penetrated into their eyes.

Especially the grenade that exploded in the air, the steel balls penetrated the helmet and almost all got into the head. Of the more than a thousand Japanese marines, only 200 were able to turn around and escape, and all of them were injured. However, this

It's the Japanese idea, a voice sounded from behind

After intensive submachine gun fire, the remaining Japanese soldiers' backs were almost beaten to pieces. No one in a large group of Japanese soldiers survived. They were all lying bloody and bloody on the bare concrete road. The air was filled with a pungent smell.

The smell of gunpowder smoke.

The sudden blow almost stunned the frontline commanders of the Japanese army. The squadron, which had been suppressed and beaten, suddenly showed its ferocious fangs and killed more than a thousand elite warriors of the Japanese Empire in one bite.

Swallowed, unexpected changes temporarily put his brain in a short-circuit state.

The more than a thousand bloody soldier corpses stimulated him to wake up quickly and howled. This was an unacceptable result for him. He ordered the artillery squadron to bombard the ** team's position fiercely. At the same time, he used sharp weapons.

Five tanks rumbled up, followed by a large group of Japanese marines.

When the Japanese commander was distracted, the small red flag in the deputy battalion commander's hand began to swing rapidly. The soldiers of the third battalion, pulling up the policemen who were still stunned around them, rushed out of the position and ran towards the next line of defense.

Go ahead, the soldiers of the Japanese Army were all alarmed by this kind of battle. They knew that after the Japanese suffered a loss, they would definitely retaliate with violent shelling, so they didn't stupidly wait to be bombed.

The soldiers and policemen on the front line had just left their positions when they were covered by Japanese artillery fire. The explosions of artillery shells were not only mortars, but also Type 92 infantry guns. The sandbags were blown to pieces, raising dust all over the sky. The Japanese army

He went crazy, even the houses on both sides were hit by dozens of shells, and the shelling lasted for a whole hour. The original position was completely gone, and the hard cement road was also full of craters.
