When the 306th Regiment retreated, it was all lightly armed in order to advance quickly, so a large number of grenades were left for the third battalion, and as for what heavy weapons, there were only three or four Makqin heavy machine guns left, and most of the heavy machine guns were blown up by the devils yesterday.

A mortar was also given to the third battalion, which was supposed to be taken away, these treasures were good firepower for the infantry regiment, but the regiment commander thought that he owed the third battalion so much, so he left a mortar down.

This is a debt of hundreds of lives to the three battalions, how can it be made up. Lao Hu still endured and didn't tell everyone that the 306th Regiment had withdrawn, and the remaining three battalions of us were going to fight with the devils here.

There are only so many troops left, where can they withstand the strong attack of a brigade of devils, the loss of Qingpu is a sure thing, but, to see if you can drag the devils for a long time, the 306th regiment is estimated to be able to retreat to Kunshan safely.

It's best to be able to delay it for a day, because then you can take advantage of the darkness to escape with the three battalions, and I don't know if the three battalions can survive for half a day.

Even if you can stay up at night, it is estimated that there are few people, or you are afraid that you will not be able to pass this level, I want to come from the Whampoa Military Academy, after more than ten years in the army, although there are many hurdles, they have also escaped, just see if they can escape this time.

In order not to disturb the morale of the army, Lao Hu just didn't tell everyone that we were covering the retreat of the whole regiment, and everyone thought that there was still the main force of the regiment behind, and there was still some confidence in the fight, especially for the Seventh Company, which was full of recruits, it was even more important.

Besides, anyway, the last three battalions are almost exhausted, and everyone will die in the end, so it doesn't matter if they know the truth, know it or not, and there is no change in the ending.

……

When the Japanese army entered the front line of the inner city position in Qingpu County, a burst of grenades suddenly flew out from the "underground" 30 meters away, constantly blooming between the tanks and the Japanese infantry.

How to fight a tank, everyone has fought many times, very familiar, and this tank is blocked in the ruins and rubble, and the cat can't see it.

The Japanese tank's tracks have not yet developed to be used as protective covers, that is, they are specially used to stuff the tracks with grenades, and even when there are stink bombs, the grenades that have not exploded can be stuck between the load-bearing wheels and the tracks of the tank, so that it is blocked.

The tank could not be driven at will, it only became an iron coffin, and at that time the tank had too many blind spots, and after losing the protection of the infantry behind, you could climb on the tank and blow up the devils inside with grenades.

Some people are afraid of climbing up and being shot by the enemy from a distance, so they use cluster grenades to blow up the bottom of the tank, which can also shock the people in the tank half to death.

In street battles, there are stupid people like Da Shu who directly rush over, point their guns at the tank's lookout holes and exhaust vanes, and shoot inside, which is very effective.

Of course, there are also situations where things don't go well, and sometimes it takes several lives to take down one, in short, a tank is an iron coffin without infantry protection.

This was still at a time when China did not have anti-tank equipment, and if there were shoulder-fired rockets (the earliest being "Bazooka"), it would be easy to fight a tank in the face of a tank that had lost the protection of infantry.

When the helicopter gunship appears, it is the natural enemy of the tank, the tank cannot hit the helicopter, and the helicopter can turn in a circle to hit it.

Therefore, in the later development, the tank no longer appeared on the battlefield with a single arm, but had to cooperate with multiple arms in order to play its effectiveness.

During World War II, in addition to the problem of war resources, the Japanese army was reluctant to spend so much steel to make tanks, because it was an island country, more facing the ocean, and used a large amount of steel to make warships.

Another point is that their armored combat thinking has always been very backward, on the other hand, on the European battlefield, it has long developed into a tank group charge tactic, and the Japanese still only have a few light tanks in the main attack.

Therefore, the Japanese infantry units were not equipped with many tanks, and once they were damaged and destroyed, they were gone, and there was one less tank, and in the back, on the battlefield in Qingpu, the Japanese army could no longer send tanks to fight.

Even without tanks, the 3rd Battalion still had a very hard time, because in order to cut the Beijing-Shanghai line as soon as possible, the Japanese army had to speed up the time to clear the obstacles on the Beijing-Shanghai line, and Qingpu was a big obstacle.

Therefore, the simple tactics of the Japanese army to carry out repeated attacks, wave after wave, uninterrupted attack on the positions in Qingpu City, because of the problem of troops, Lao Hu could no longer have troops to send troops to defend the positions in the outer city.

The whole battalion could only retreat to the city, using the ruins of the broken wall to maneuver with difficulty with the enemy, and the three dogs and a few fighters in a row occupied a courtyard, constantly shifting their firing positions and shooting at the devils who were moving.

The devils had already killed and wounded several people in front of this courtyard, and they were still persevering in attacking, and the curved projectiles of grenadiers and mortars kept hitting the courtyard, and the three dogs and they also continued to suffer casualties.

Without sandbags and without cover, the bodies of their comrades were lifted up and blocked in front; "Brother, I'm sorry, borrow your body for use, and when I come down, I'll apologize to you."

Everyone can't manage so much anymore, gritting their teeth and persevering, but now they can't hold on, because Sangou found that the devil actually pushed the ninety-two step cannon over, I'll go, the swarthy cannon barrel is slowly facing Sangou their yard.

"Run!" Sangou took everyone to escape quickly, and before he went far, the 70mm shell of the devil's 92-step gun, with a terrifying whistling sound, broke through the low wall of the yard and blossomed directly in the yard.

In the entire county town of Qingpu, there are gunshots and cannons everywhere, and the devil's 92-step cannon is simply invincible, and it is really difficult to resist the approaching flat fire of this goods.

Sangou found Niu Gu and asked Lao Hu to quickly take out the only remaining mortar and give it to the bamboo pole to fight, specifically to deal with the devil's infantry artillery.

This mortar is in the hands of the bamboo pole, it is like a rifle in the hands of Xiucai, it is really handy, the man and the cannon are one, and there is often no need to correct the bullet, one shot is over, eight or nine is not far from ten, and the target can be hit, and the error is not more than three meters.

That's enough, although the bamboo pole hit a cannon to change places, but this hit rate greatly deterred the devil's infantry artillery, and after the devil's three infantry guns were bombarded, there were almost no more terrifying 70mm shells flying over.

Even so, the position in the inner city of Qingpu was still compressed by the enemy little by little, and the three battalions, which were less than half of their strength, could only retreat step by step, and near noon, they retreated to a corner that was hit by the enemy yesterday.

Lao Hu looked at his watch, it was almost noon, and it was estimated that the main force of the 306th Regiment was out of danger, and it should be almost in Kunshan, in fact, the task of covering the retreat could also be completed.

But now you can't retreat immediately, the soldiers are exhausted and can't run fast, and now it's daytime on the road will be chased by enemy planes, no matter how fast you run, you can't outrun the planes.
