The one hundred and sixty-fifth section suffered heavy losses
To be honest, this time the Japanese devils made sufficient preparations, especially the Central China Expeditionary Force. They did not choose to mobilize their troops during the day because they knew that small aircraft of the security regiment kept flying in their sky during the day, and their every move would be passed to the security regiment.
Japanese devils used many methods to deal with this small reconnaissance aircraft. Light machine gun strafing is the most common method. Another method is to ambush the sharpshooter. When they see this kind of thing, they use rifles to shoot at him. However, no matter what, the news from them was still passed back. Although the small aircraft such as the security team suffered serious losses, when they fell from high altitude, there was a self-destruction device on the plane. The devils just wanted to seize a small aircraft such as this and then take it back for a good study. Unfortunately, they destroyed hundreds of aircraft in total, and in the end, there was no one intact.
Relying on the camera, they can only get the appearance of this small aircraft, but they can't know what the situation inside is. Moreover, this kind of thing flies very fast, and if you want to capture it, you must prepare it first. If you want to take pictures of such things by chance, don't think about it.
In this way, the Japanese devils took a night to occupy the French Concession, and when they occupied the French Concession, the Japanese devils made almost no noise. The French and Americans had never thought that the Japanese devils rushed in directly. Although the Japanese devils had already felt that Japan's ambitions had been expanded unlimitedly when they fought in Singapore, they also knew clearly that the Japanese army still had some Chinese banknotes in their hands. They had to rely on the French Concession to exchange them out in order to make these banknotes valuable. If they directly captured the French Concession, the banknotes would be almost like waste paper, because they could not find another window to spend these French currencies.
The more you can't imagine, the more people do it. In this way, the unexpected military effect can be achieved. Just like now, when the Chinese army was attacked by the Japanese devils at 4 a.m., they were stunned because the fortifications they built did not face the public concession, but rushed directly from their side towards the Japanese devils' army on the other side. This was a sudden defeat.
The defense line composed of 12 infantry divisions of the Central Army was broken by three Japanese devils within two hours. The 12 infantry divisions combined had about 100,000 people, and they retreated 20 kilometers overnight. You should know that the 20 kilometers here are not the northeast and northeast. Even if you run 100 kilometers, you may not be crowded. This is the most prosperous Shanghai area in China, and 20 kilometers is already quite a step.
"What, you're not wrong. I heard the sound of gunfire in the morning, but you can't tell me that the Japanese devils attacked from the public concession. Do you want any of the banknotes in their hands? According to our reconnaissance news, it will take at least one year for the banknotes in their hands to be exchanged for existing value. Can the Japanese devils give up all these things?" When Mao Yuanshan heard the sound of gunfire from his residence to the war room, Xie Tianhua reported to Mao Yuanshan with the latest news obtained by the reconnaissance troops. Although there was no way to release the small reconnaissance aircraft at night, the investigators could also play their own role. After half an hour of reconnaissance, it was confirmed that the Japanese army did launch an attack from the public concession, otherwise our army would not have retreated so quickly.
"According to the news we received, at 7 o'clock last night, the Japanese combat troops had already entered the public concession. After about three hours, they disarmed the people from the French police station inside the public concession. In addition, more than 700 Marines in France were also disarmed by them." These French people were really cowardly. When the Japanese devils came in, they were all honestly in their barracks and didn't even shoot a single shot. If they could fire a few shots, they could hear the sound on the positions on China, and they might even send people to see what was going on, and they wouldn't have defeated this morning. When the Japanese devils came out of the French concession, all the soldiers of the national army were stunned. They never thought that the Japanese devils could take the French concession without bloodshed.
"Even if the Japanese devils rushed out of the French Concession, they could not give me so much loss in one night. Usually I asked them to build some fortifications, and they all told me that the French Concession was very safe. How should I explain it now? I ran 20 kilometers in one morning, and it took me a while to run 20 kilometers in a car. Why did these Central Army people actually run so fast?" When Mao Yuanshan arrived at the war room, the battle results were basically tried. The position that had been seized with more than 100,000 people was completely lost this morning. The Japanese devils can be said to have achieved the greatest victory on the battlefield in Central China. Three quarters of the entire Shanghai area were occupied by the Japanese devils, and the remaining part was all in the hands of the security regiment. The Central Army and local warlords were directly caught off guard by the Japanese devils. This was the biggest failure since the War of Resistance.
"This is also impossible. Since the Battle of Songhu to the present, the Party and the State have lost so many soldiers. Now, these people on the front line are basically all recruits. They have not received strict training in combat skills. Moreover, when the war happened suddenly, there were not many officers on the scene. According to the statistics we obtained, the entire Third War Zone lost more than 100,000 people from this morning to now." Mao Yuanshan is still the commander-in-chief of the Third War Zone. Although he cannot mobilize the Central Army, he has such a title. After hearing that so many people have lost, the expression on Mao Yuanshan's face is really ugly. However, what made Mao Yuanshan feel relieved is that the position in the hands of the security regiment is still in his own hands. Although several places have been surrounded by the Japanese army, they are still resisting tenaciously. This is the security regiment of the old army.
