Chapter 4 Iron armored vehicles raging
Facing the Japanese special Marine Corps, the 19th Route Army brazenly launched an attack on the 156th Brigade of Weng Zhaoyuan on the Zhabei front line. In a very urgent situation, at 1:00 on the 29th, Commander-in-Chief Jiang Guangding, Deputy Commander-in-Chief Cai Tingkai, and Songhu Guard Commander Dai Ji jointly issued a telegram to all walks of life across the country:
"The brilliance of the three eastern provinces in our country on the brink of color, and the nation was in danger. Recently, killing and setting fires in Shanghai, ronin everywhere, and the despicable and violent actions of the world have gone all out."
"At the time when the gunboats came, all the Marines landed on the shore, and they openly invaded our defense line in Zhabei, Shanghai at 12:00 on the night of the 28th, provoking us. Guangding and others belonged to soldiers. Only by knowing that self-defense and defending the territory is their duty. They cannot give up. Even if they sacrificed their lives, they will never retreat, so as to lose the personality of soldiers of the Republic of China."
"This mind and ambition are used to highlight the world in the sun. The spirit of Yan and Huang ancestors in the sky is truly based on it."
In the face of national crisis, the officers and soldiers of the National Army were strong and fulfilled the secret order issued by the 19th Route Army on the 23rd: "If the Japanese army attacks, they will fight with all their strength."
The soldiers' attitude of fighting against Japan and serving the country demonstrates the lofty ambition of "not tolerate death for the sake of breaking jade than to live in silence for the sake of the whole world."
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the State Government also issued the "Declaration on the Songhu Incident" on the 29th, showing that he had to resist in the face of the Japanese attack.
The Japanese government adopted a despicable method of turning black and white into a despicable way, and issued the "Declaration on the Shanghai Incident Imperial Government" on the same day, claiming that it was sending troops to protect the expatriates.
The so-called protection of expatriates is just a conspiracy of the Japanese army.
In order to cover up the puppet Manchukuo, the Japanese Kwantung Army's senior staff officer Seishiro Itagaki, secretly colluded with Takayoshi Tanaka, an assistant military officer of the Shanghai Embassy, to make plans to cause trouble in Shanghai to achieve the goal of entering Shanghai.
Tanaka Takaki and the female spy Kawashima Yoshiko (Jin Bihui), who fled to Shanghai and defected to the Japanese army, plotted and instigated the Japanese monk Kitsuki and five others to walk more than 20 meters from Sanyou Industrial Club on Mayushan Road, Yinxianggang. They were suddenly attacked by a premeditated thug hired by Tanaka Takaki, three of whom were slightly injured.
These bastards who deliberately made trouble falsely accused the workers of Sanyou Industrial Club of being injured, rushed into the factory and smashed and burned Sanyou Industrial Club, and injured three Chinese patrolmen and workers.
The island country's military, the consulate in Shanghai and its government took advantage of this ugly farce and became an excuse for the Japanese special Marine Corps to launch an attack on the Zhabei front of our 19th Route Army on the 28th.
As soon as the morning of the 29th, Major General Yuki Yanze ordered the special Marine Corps to divide the troops into five groups under the cover of more than 20 armored vehicles, and launched the most fierce attack on the frontier positions of Weng Zhaoyuan, the 156th Brigade of the 78th Division of the 19th Route Army in Zhabei.
At the same time, Japanese fighter jets quickly took off from the aircraft carrier "Nengdenglu" and carried out inhumane bombardment on our positions in Zhabei and the Nanshi area, and the war quickly spread across the city.
The 1st and 2nd Company of the 4th Battalion of the 6th Regiment of the 156th Brigade of Weng's 156th Brigade, guarding Tiantong'an Station, after several nighttime tug-of-wars of positions with the enemy, and it was less than two hours after recovering the first line of defense. More than 300 Japanese troops, under the cover of four armored vehicles, launched a more fierce attack on our position at Tiantong'an Station.
Deputy Battalion Commander Song Yuanchao looked at Wang Feng and said, "My Crazy Wang, the enemy's attack at night did not take advantage. In broad daylight, under the cover of the powerful firepower of four armored vehicles, it would be mysterious to defend the position."
"Faced with a powerful enemy attack, we cannot simply use the reckless tactic of "army to block, soil to flood water". We must adopt the real and true, true and false, and take advantage of the situation where the enemy is weak when it is unprepared."
Zhao Changli, deputy company commander of the first company who had been acting for less than an hour, seemed to have great combat experience.
This is a close-range battle. Facing a powerful enemy under the cover of firepower of armored vehicles, the number of weapons and equipment, and the number of soldiers far exceeds my situation. If you want to take advantage of your mistakes, you can repel the enemy's attack. It's simply a dream.
Seeing that Wang Feng did not answer, Deputy Battalion Commander Song frowned and stared at the enemy who was attacking the position, and couldn't help but shout anxiously: "Crazy, the enemy is in front of you, are you talking about it?"
"How to fight? I want to listen to Deputy Battalion Commander Song's opinion first."
When Wang Feng came here for the first time, he proposed his own combat plan with preconceived ideas. Once he was not accepted or said the wrong thing, how could he lead his troops in the future?
Besides, can wars across time and space be compared with modern three-dimensional wars?
"You bastard, you have a lot of ideas. Why do you think of so many Japanese soldiers launching powerful attacks under the cover of armored vehicles? How come you are so scared?"
"One word: beat, two words: trick, three words: beat hard." Wang Feng has made preparations for how to fight this battle and simply said the three words " beat", which have a deep meaning.
Deputy Battalion Commander Song Yuanchao did not expect Wang Feng's performance today to be so unsatisfactory. He simply stopped asking for advice and ordered decisively: "Order the company to stick to the main position and must block the enemy attacking head-only fifty meters away from the front position."
"Order the second company to cooperate with the firepower of the right wings, and resolutely make the attacking enemy's counterattack difficult."
It is awesome to issue such an order. Two companies have 218 soldiers, and they have taken positions to fight with the enemy at night. One third of them have sacrificed and lost their combat capabilities. Now, there are less than one hundred and sixty people who can lie on the battlefield and shoot and kill the enemy.
Besides, the two companies only have two heavy machine guns, six light machine guns, Hanyang's manufacturing accounted for the majority, officially accounting for one-quarter, with six box cannons and nine short guns of various types. Although the ammunition is more than that of ordinary troops, each soldier has only fifty rounds and four grenades.
Three positions battles were launched with the enemy at night, and most of the soldiers should consume more than half of the ammunition.
According to the normal organization of the Japanese army, each infantry squadron consists of three 54-60-man teams, about 20 squadrons, totaling 180 to 200 people, and each infantry squadron is equipped with two light machine guns and two grenade launchers.
Each soldier is distributed 120 bullets and two grenades during wartime.
Now, under the cover of the powerful firepower of four armored vehicles, the enemy who is attacking frantically has at least one squadron's strength.
With such excellent equipment and quantity than our own, and strong combat capabilities, there are four armored vehicles covering and cooperating. Even without the cooperation of these four armored vehicles, it is not easy to block the Japanese with strong combat capabilities 50 meters away from the position by occupying the advantage of favorable positions alone?
This is not a battle at an energy level, there is a lot of danger.
The combat effectiveness of the soldiers of the 19th Route Army was really good, and it was not as useless as in the magic drama, when they saw the Japanese defeated and fled in a hurry. They did not stand up and charge for a while, and then threw their vicious enemies away.
Instead, based on the enemy situation, they took the only two heavy machine guns to occupy the favorable terrain, sprayed powerful firepower, and swept towards the attacking enemy.
Four light machine guns are equipped on the left and right wing positions. In order to save bullets, they have not yet roared and spewed out flames.
Under the cover of the armored vehicles, the commander adopted a gradual advancement tactic. Although the advancement speed was very slow, it was approaching the position step by step.
Song Yuanchao saw that the enemy was approaching the position, less than 70 meters away from the position. If he went crazy, he might be unable to maintain the position.
Once the position is lost, it will cost a terrible price to take it back.
He snatched the 38th cover of a soldier beside him and shouted that he would lead the soldiers into the enemy group and fight to the death. Just as he was about to jump out of the trench, Wang Feng dragged him into the trench.
"Deputy Battalion Commander Song, the enemy is large and we are few. If we kill individual soldiers, we may not be able to withstand a Japanese devil. If we want to defeat the enemy, we must first blow up the armored vehicles that the enemy relies on to cover the attack."
The deputy company commander of the first company, Song Changli, took the initiative to ask for battle: "Deputy Battalion Commander Song, Company Commander Wang, I ask to lead a suicide squad that blows up the enemy's armored vehicles. Even if I lie under the armored vehicles, I will use my flesh and blood to stop the armored vehicles from continuing to attack my position."
"Don't do it recklessly. If you want to blow up the enemy's armored vehicles, you can only use blasting methods, otherwise you will hit the stone with an egg and seek death by yourself."
