Chapter 20: The Night of the Typhoon
4.20 Typhoon Night
At 17 o'clock in the afternoon of the 14th, the 99th Division conquered Hongkou Park, and the 88th Division broke through to the middle of Wusong Road.
In the evening, the 88th Division rushed to the vicinity of Huishan Wharf, the core position of the devils, and the 87th Division also rushed to reinforce it, and the fierce impact of the Chinese soldiers was about to shake the defense line of Huishan Wharf. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Suddenly, there was a rumbling sound of a train passing through the sky, and then countless shells fell on the Japanese army's own positions!
The frenzied Japanese let the naval guns carry out an indiscriminate attack on the outer defense line of Huishan Wharf!
The troops of the 87th and 88th divisions rushed to the front suffered heavy casualties!
The salvo of Japanese naval guns killed and wounded a large number of Chinese officers and men, and at the same time completely smashed their defensive line.
The 88th Division now just needs to drive the team up to receive it.
There were almost no Japanese troops left alive on the bombed-out positions.
Those who could breathe lost the ability to resist.
The 88th and 87th Divisions cut off most of the roads leading from Huishan Wharf to the city, and the "snake tail" of Huishan Wharf is about to be separated from the body!
The highest authorities in Nanjing have an inquiry call every five minutes, and the old man is very excited now!
No one expected that a large basin of cold water would soon be poured on the heads of the highest authorities!
On the night of the 14th, the scenery of Taiwan came to Shanghai......
The violent wind was raging on the ground, and the heavily armed soldiers, whose whole body weighed at least nearly 200 catties, were blown so that they could not stand on their feet.
The hundreds of thousands of Chinese and Japanese armies armed to the teeth turned into bows in front of nature in this way.
Faced with such bad weather, General Zhang had to report to the highest authorities that the 9th Army had completely stopped attacking.
The 99th Division, which had been fighting fiercely for a day, suddenly relaxed, and on such a night, the Japanese army basically would not launch a sneak attack, and there was no need to even put a sentry post.
It is impossible not to say that it is a pleasure to be able to enjoy such a quiet night in the midst of war......
Typhoon, a strong force from the sea, is a division of tigers and wolves composed of wind and rain.
The wind pulled the dark clouds in the sky, roared all the way, attacked the city, and passed the pass; It is invincible!
Because of the speed of movement, the momentum of the typhoon is quite amazing, like a galloping horse!
Wherever the wind went, the trees rattled and the branches and leaves fluttered. After a while, the stumps and leaves have fallen all over the ground, and it is a mess; The big tree that the two hugged even "clicked" and broke from it; When it was more serious, it was even uprooted and fell down "with a bang......
Even hiding in the trenches, the roar of the wind is still endless. They ran back and forth in front of the fortifications and bunkers, galloping across the country, one after the other, scrambling for the first place.
The soldiers of the 99th Division found something to block the fortifications and the ventilated places of the bunkers, hoping to make the temperature not drop as soon as possible.
As soon as the wind passed, the torrential rain came again.
Wind and rain, the scene is not spectacular!
Typhoons generally bring heavy rainfall, which is not only abundant, but also impressive.
The wind helps the rain, the rain is like the Milky Way bursting the embankment, like the heavenly river pouring down, the bean-sized raindrops are like drumbeats, pouring down, and the sound of "bang" comes to the ground and is endless. "Crackling" is like a firecracker, which can make people deafening.
Raindrops fell into the trenches, splashing and turbulent......
The low-lying areas in the trenches soon became pools of water, and the officers and men of the 99th Division had to start fighting the flood and rescuing them!
Otherwise, tonight will be soaked in the rain, and all the ammunition stored will suffer, tomorrow, why will you fight with the little devils?
However, where can the rainfall brought by typhoons be cleared by manpower?
Division Commander Huang ordered the troops to withdraw from the trenches and take refuge in the houses in the city, leaving only a small number of sentries to stand guard at the heights of some buildings.
The rain was so heavy that it was impossible to see people face to face, and the sentry was more of a formality......
Huang Haoran pulled a chair and sat by the window, and the wind beat the window "fluffy".
Fan Jie asked the guards to make tea, and Chief of Staff Fan knew that the literati feelings of his division had flare up again......
The guards made a pot of Biluochun as usual, which is Huang Haoran's favorite tea, in fact, he doesn't pay attention to the quality of tea, he just likes the shape of Biluochun.
Holding the hot tea from Fan Jiedi in his hand, Huang Haoran asked the lights to be turned off, he wanted to enjoy this typhoon night......
Fan Jie didn't say anything, pulled a chair and sat next to Huang Haoran. Rich's big nose had never seen a typhoon in Germany, and he was an old boy who took his guards outside the house to have fun.
This will be von. Richie probably doesn't know what it's like......
For the first time in 2 days, Huang Haoran had such a long period of tranquility, and he looked at the rain curtain outside the window......
Lowered his head and took a sip of tea soup, the hot water flowed down his throat to his stomach, the whole person was warm, Huang Haoran stretched his waist and screamed comfortably......
Fan Jie looked at Huang Haoran, who looked lazy, and he suddenly remembered that Shizuo was also very young, and he was just 30 years old this year!
At the age of 30, how many soldiers are still struggling at the grassroots level, and the division has become a general!
At the sound of an order, tens of thousands of people spilled blood on the battlefield, and countless bones were under the bodies of famous generals since ancient times!
Fortunately, the "famous general" of the division is different!
The division cherishes the life of every soldier in the 99th Division, and what the division has often said in the past two days is:
"It doesn't matter if you spend more money and materials, they are all raised by your father's mother, so if you can lose a few, you can lose a few!"
The division seat is different from other generals in the Central Army, the officers and soldiers of the 99th Division are not only the murder weapons in his hands, but also his brothers!
The more Fan Jie looked at Huang Haoran, the more relieved he felt, and he felt that he had not mistaken this young superior.
The rain was still falling, and there was a tendency to get bigger and bigger, Huang Haoran and Fan Jie just sat quietly and didn't say a word.
There was a slamming sound on the door, and von. Richie is back.
The Germans were drenched in soup, and on such a typhoon day, no rain gear would make much difference.
Feng. Richie's whole body was running down, and he walked to the conference table and sat down, then took off his boots and began pouring water out.
The inside of the boots is filled with rain!
Feng. Rich began to complain that the bad weather had hindered the attack of the 99th Division, and if it were not for this typhoon, the Devil Marines in Shanghai would probably not have survived tonight!
Huang Haoran heard Feng. Richie's complaint, he smiled, and didn't talk......
Even God doesn't help his own army, and the luck of the Republic of China is really low!
The Japanese saw the weakness of China precisely and did it at this time!
In 36 years, a major drought, Henan provinces were severely affected by the starvation of many people, 37 years at the beginning of the year is not peaceful, the aftermath of Xi'an is not over, the domestic economy is also at a low point.
The Japanese always seem to be able to see an opportunity to stab China in the back and then cut off a whole lot of good, and they never tire of it.
This year, the Japanese meat cleaver was cut on the bone and stuck, and now I can't pull it back if I want to!
Neither China nor Japan would have thought that this knife would be an eight-year bloody war!
