4.49 Beach (a)

In the early morning of the 23rd, the ships carrying the 11th Wing of the 12th Division of the Japanese Army began to move towards the shore. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Today's landing should be very smooth, according to intelligence shows that the Chinese do not have any large-scale troops in this area, and the geographical location of this landing site that General Matsui Ishine sees is very good.

One of the three elements for the success of the landing battle was the proper selection of the landing site, which the "Shanghai Dispatch Army" did.

Then there was the suddenness of the landing and the combination of naval and air firepower, both of which the 12th Wing was not yet sure of.

During the day on the 22nd, there were already sporadic Chinese troops on the coast.

It is obvious that these Chinese troops are laying mines and some anti-landing obstacles, and although they are far from forming an effective defense system, the beachhead where the 12th Wing is going to land is definitely no longer an undefended open field.

The division headquarters arbitrarily believed that the Chinese army could not and did not have the ability to have decent fortifications just because the troops of the 56th Division were scattered over such a long defensive line, and the sporadic appearance of Chinese troops on the coast showed the weakness of the defense in this area, and the act of laying mines was just the 56th Division seeking consolation.

Although the twenty-third of Anda felt a little uneasy, out of respect for the decision of his superiors, he did not disagree anymore, but decided to faithfully carry out his duties.

The chief of staff of the division, Katamura 48 Daisa, was a classmate of the 23rd Zo of Anda when he was a classmate of the Japanese Military Academy.

Chief of Staff Katamura specially arranged for his old classmate Adachi Twenty-three Zuo to fight this first battle, because in the eyes of Chief of Staff Katamura, landing on the coast of the area north of Chuansha Town was as easy as piercing window paper with his fingers.

This is simply a battle exploit given to an old classmate for nothing!

The defense of the 56th Division is simply impossible to stop these elite generals of the 11th Division!

The 23rd Adachi Zo understood that Katamura's chief of staff was favoring him, and for this matter, the commander of the 22nd Brigade, Major General Kuroiwa Yoshikatsu, also expressed his dissatisfaction with General Matsui.

Indeed, the honor of the 12th Wing being the first Japanese Army Wing to set foot on Shanghai soil was coveted by the colleagues of the 23rd Infantry Wing, including Wing Commander Nagatsu Sabi, who belonged to the same 10th Brigade as the 12th Wing.

It can be said that the 23rd Zuo of Anda is now the envy of everyone in the "Shanghai Dispatch Army", but now the closer the landing craft is to the coast, the more uncalm Anda Dazuo's heart will be.

There was no light on the coastline at night, and Adachi Twenty-three listened to the sound of the waves crashing against the side of the ship, and secretly shouted in his heart, "Everything is going well......

The landing operation of the 12th Wing had so far been perfect, not a single hostile bullet had been fired from the coast, and the 56th Division did not seem to have any troops stationed on this beach.

From the perspective of the size of the army operating on the coast during the day, even if every Chinese who appeared was covered with steel, I am afraid that it could only create a minefield with a very low density, and the 12th Wing specially carried sappers and military dogs when landing, coupled with the covered fire of naval guns, it should not be a problem to pass through the minefields on the coast.

The Japanese Navy's naval guns began to fire, and there was a firework on the beachhead, this one-sided artillery fire was really nothing to look at, and after wasting a lot of shells, the Navy also stopped such boring work, and it seemed that no life would survive on the burning beachhead.

"Bump!! .....”

This is the sound of landing craft touching the rocks under water, the Navy can only send them here, and from now on, the 12th wing is on its own!

A large number of Japanese soldiers jumped into the water like dumplings, and the devils of 37 years did not have any decent landing equipment, they could only swim to the shore with equipment on their backs, but fortunately, this distance was not too far, the soaked military uniforms were tightly attached to the body, and there were leather shoes filled with water, damn, it was as heavy as two lead buckets.

The "38-type" rifle was held on the water, the 11th Division did not have enough tarpaulin, and the Tomosaka-style rifle was relatively delicate, if it was soaked in the water for a long time, God knows if it could still fire bullets when it came to the shore, but fortunately there was no need to face the strangulation of coastal fire, so the Japanese troops in the water were quite relaxed.

More Japanese soldiers who took lifeboats did not go into the water, and they planned to row the boat directly onto the tidal flats, after all, no one likes to soak in the water and go a distance of hundreds of meters.

It's not that there's no movement on the quiet shore, but the night hides it all out.

When the Japanese shelling stopped, Zhou Jiankun and their platoon of 32 soldiers crawled out of the anti-artillery hole, they rushed into the pillbox as fast as possible, Zhou Jiankun looked at the sea in the distance from the shooting hole, he was a little out of breath, so he swallowed the air in a big gulp, maybe the space of the pillbox was limited, he still felt that his throat was tight.

Zhao Jinglin is Zhou Jiankun's ammunition hand, he took out a large string of golden bullets from the ammunition box, and then handed it to Zhou Jiankun's hand, the cold bullet calmed Zhou Jiankun, he looked at Zhao Jinglin, who was two years younger than himself, and then pulled the bolt, stuck the bullet belt into the Makqin in front of him, and then pulled the bolt with a "Kara".

The Makqin machine gun controlled by Zhou Jiankun is an imitation of the Chinese Arsenal, This automatic weapon with fire and gas as the energy source has a caliber of 11.43 mm, a gun weight of 27.2 kg, and a water-cooled barrel; it uses a 6.4-meter-long canvas cartridge belt with a capacity of 333 rounds to feed the cartridge belt, and the cartridge belt can be continued, and the theoretical rate of fire can reach 600 rounds per minute, that is to say, as long as it takes more than 30 seconds, Zhou Jiankun can run out of a cartridge belt, so often a Makqin heavy machine gun needs a firing team composed of three people to operate, a main shooter, a secondary shooter and an ammunition man.

Zhou Jiankun's platoon only had 32 people, but there were 3 Makqin heavy machine guns, so the shooters were relatively nervous, and Zhou Jiankun's shooting team was a combination of a shooter and an ammunition man.

On the afternoon of the 22nd, the 537th Regiment received a large number of Maxims and Czechs from the division headquarters, and the whole box of ammunition was carried over and thrown into the fortifications.

Huang Haoran had invested enough money on the beachhead, and he allocated almost all the machine guns that could be taken out of the warehouse to the 537 regiment.

Thinking of the barrage fired by the salvo of hundreds of machine guns, Zhou Jiankun couldn't help but feel a chill on his scalp, at least he himself definitely didn't want to face such a firepower net.

The engineer regiment of the 99th Division appeared after nightfall last year, and although they could not turn this place into an impregnable wall in just a few hours, these guys specializing in civil engineering insisted on using the remaining pillboxes on the beachhead to build a few firepower groups, and the beach was even more deeply and shallowly buried with a lot of triangular nails and mines, as well as a large number of barbed wire and barricades, dividing the beachhead into small areas.

And many of these things have been preserved today under the shelling of the devils.

How did these sappers do it, I had to ask Chief of Staff Fan of the Military Department.

Apparently no one will ask......

With the help of the burning barricades on the beach, Zhou Jiankun saw that the devil was getting closer and closer to the shore, and the devil in front had already stepped on the mud and sand under his feet, and changed from swimming to wading.

Ammunition player Zhao Jinglin was only 20 years old, and he began to get a little nervous, looking at the enemy moving like a wall in the water, he said, "Oh my God, how are we going to deal with so many devils?" ”

Zhou Jiankun turned Makqin and said to Zhao Jinglin: "What should I do?" You still have to forget these ghost thoughts, now you have to think about how to ensure that you can shoot with all your might, either the enemy dies or I die, this is the thing to think about! ”

Zhao Jinglin looked at the ammunition boxes piled up at his feet, and said with some hesitation: "Our ammunition seems to be a little less, I see that there are at least more than 2,000 little devils in the water, and I knew that I should move a few more boxes back." ”

"Come on, it's good to be alive to shoot all of these, Xiao Linzi, have you left a message for your grandma? Perhaps, there will be no chance to say it in the future. ”

"I stayed, and I asked people to take back this month's military salary, Brother Zhou, you said that if I die, the military seat will not ignore my grandmother, right?"

Zhou Jiankun stared at the shooting hole, and then jumped out word by word from his teeth: "Don't worry!" Our 99th Division, someone will treat the wounded, and someone will bury the dead! Xiaolinzi, don't worry! ”

"Hey! Fuck the little Japan! ”

"Da ......."

Bullets rained down from the shore, machine gun bullets splashed on the beach, like small fountains, when these small fountains approached the devils, they began to fall, the Japanese soldiers who encountered heavy machine gun fire fell into the water one by one like wheat that was put down by a sickle, the blood soon stained the waves red, and soon, the first corpse began to float on the waves, and soon, all the Japanese soldiers lay down and began to shoot, and the bullets shuttled in the night sky, like fireworks.

The nasal cavity of the Japanese soldier lying in the water began to enter the water, and some people couldn't hold back their standing up and gasping for breath, and were immediately beaten into a sieve by the dense bullets, and their bodies shook in the air like rags, and finally the flesh and blood were blurred back and soaked in the water.

If you have such a beaten corpse around you, it will definitely be a very nerve-testing thing.

Anda's fears began to be validated......
