"Yo Si! Notify the Navy that it's time to launch! But he saw the officers and soldiers of the 36th Division who rushed into the Huishan Wharf with binoculars in the distance, and sneered.

"Hail!!" The adjutant on the side replied loudly, but then saw him pick up the phone and shake it and say a few words. And this wing commander coldly held a telescope and looked at the officers and soldiers of the 36th Division who were panting at the wharf of Huishan.

On the harbor, one after another the Japanese warships slowly turned their muzzles! On a few street corners, the Japanese tank "Kerala ......" turned its tracks and killed here!

Even, the planes on the four aircraft carriers of the Japanese army "buzzed ......" constantly! The officers and soldiers of the 36th Division at the Huishan Wharf did not know that they were in deep crisis, but they were cheering for the tragic Japanese army in Chapter 698 of the Huishan Wharf!

At the same time, most of the officers and men, under the command of their respective commanders, began to build their own positions on the basis of the Japanese positions to prevent the Japanese counterattack.

At this moment, the sound of "boom, boom, boom" was heard in the distance on ......the sea! Everyone suddenly shuddered, but they saw that the battalion commander who commanded the battle let out a terrible roar!

"Lie down!!"

"Boom! Rumble!! Boom ......" Suddenly, the explosion shook the ground and shook the mountains! It was as if the whole earth was boiling, and the crazy explosion shook the entire Huishan Wharf!

The officers and men of the 36th Division who were lying down were bombarded by the Japanese army without any fortifications to protect them! There were no screams, because the sound of artillery and explosions had already masked everything.

There was no wailing, because all the sounds were muffled. Hell of scenes! Corpses were strewn all over the field, and stumps were all over the ground...... The bodies of the hands and feet that had been blown away hung on the eaves, on dead branches and on the ground......

The Vickers light tank's thin armor like a cicada's wings is simply vulnerable to this kind of bombardment! Those tank soldiers who risked their lives to kill at Huishan Wharf didn't have time to rejoice, but they had already died on the battlefield......

"Boom! Rumble!! Boom ......" but saw that Chapter 698 Miserable Vickers light tank was torn into parts by artillery fire in the difficult turn and dodge. Those soldiers who drove the tanks couldn't even leave their corpses intact......

If there are two words to describe this battle, there is only one word - slaughter! Massacres without the ability to resist!

"Buzzing ......" At this time, there was a roar in the sky, but unfortunately the troops of the 36th Division on the ground had been bombarded by artillery fire, and no one noticed the situation in the sky at all.

"Chirp...... Rumble! Rumble!! Boom......" The bomb was dropped from the plane. The troops of the 36th Division, which were being shelled on the ground, continued this kind of fighting situation that they could not fight back......

But those Japanese fighters still did not let go of these soldiers of the 36th Division, they finished dropping their bombs, and then dived down to the dock, and the machine guns on board "swooped ......" at the troops below! The soldiers who had not been killed in the shelling and bombardment were torn into flesh and blood by such a lack of ability to fight back......

The bombardment of naval guns and the bombing and strafing of aircraft directly destroyed the attack capability of this unit that attacked Huishan Wharf! And the ground forces of the Japanese army attacked at this time!

But I saw Japanese troops surging towards this place at both ends of Broadway Road. Light and heavy machine guns, grenadiers, and mortars were the troops of the 36th Division facing the Huishan wharf...... Rumble! Boom ......"!

At this time, the two battalions that had lost their tanks and most of the troops had no ability to continue fighting, and the remaining battalion commander looked at the men who were fighting with him, and turned into dead corpses and stumps with tears and shouted with all his might: "Withdraw!" ”

With the rest of the soldiers, he withdrew from Huishan Wharf in tears......

In this battle, all the support tanks of the 36th Division were destroyed. Only a few dozen of the three battalions of the attacking battalion survived and were forced to withdraw to the Tangshan Road......

At the time when the 36th Division was forced to leave the Huishan wharf. Major General Cai Shanyan, commander of the 201st Brigade of the 67th Division of the 18th Army of the Army, crouched behind a low wall outside Luodian Town to observe the enemy situation.

In his binoculars, a figure that appeared and disappeared quietly in a circuitous way towards his left flank under the cover of the morning fog. He knew that the Japanese troops on the opposite side had begun to move.

In late August, the first batch of Japanese reinforcements landed in the vicinity of Wusongkou, Shishilin and Chuanshakou, and 3,000 people of the 11th Division of the vanguard once entered Luodian.

Subsequently, the 18th Army was ordered to rush to the charge led by Cai Shanyan, thousands of soldiers carried out a counter-charge against more than 3,000 people of the 11th Division, and the Japanese casualties of a brigade finally withdrew from Luodian, and the 201st Brigade regained Luodian, and Cai Brigade was ordered to build a position to defend on the spot.

"It looks like it's menacing...... Traveler. Do you want to strengthen the front?! The chief of staff put down the binoculars and said to Cai Shanyan. The latter shook his head and said in a deep voice.

"Wait for the devil to enter the ambush circle, and listen to my order to fire...... Be sure to catch a few live bites! ”

Cai Shanyan graduated from the first phase of Huangpu and the first phase of the special class of the Army University. Like all the powerful Huangpu Shaozhuang faction in Nanjing. Cai Zhiyan followed the principal Jiang Zhongzheng from the Northern Expedition to fight in the south and the north, and then ascended to the high position of major general and brigade commander at the age of less than thirty-five.

But Cai Shanyan, like all Whampoa students, wants to compete on the battlefield of resistance against Japan with the Wehrmacht, which has made the three eastern provinces dare not peep and fight, and the Japanese army shrank its head in the fortifications!

Face-to-face fighting is unlikely. At least for the time being, it is impossible, but Cai Shanyan still wants to win against the Wehrmacht!

In previous battles with the Japanese army, although the Japanese army resolutely resisted to the death, the Wehrmacht still captured more than 200 Japanese soldiers. On the other hand, Nanjing's achievements since the beginning of the war are not as magnificent as those of the Wehrmacht.

Moreover, not a single prisoner of the Japanese army was borne. This made Cai Shanyan and the others feel that their faces were gloomy, and Cai Shanyan gritted his teeth and planned to capture a few Japanese prisoners! Your national defense army is powerful, and the people who can catch the Japanese army and capture our Whampoa are not bad! I can still catch it!

Watch the figure sway in the night. Gradually, towards the position, Cai Shanyan sneered and nodded to the chief of staff beside him. "Smack!" As a flare lifted into the air, the silence of dawn was immediately broken by the sound of heavy gunfire!

"Tutu Tu Tu ...... Rumble! Rumble!! The sound of gunfire ...... suddenly broke through the silence, and the attacking Japanese troops were suddenly exposed to the fire of the 201st Brigade!

As Jiang Zhongzheng's descendant troops, the firepower allocation and the quality of the soldiers are naturally not comparable to the miscellaneous troops! Not only is it equipped with a large amount of light and heavy machine gun fire, but it is also supported by brigade artillery.

In three or two strokes, this Japanese army was directly routed and withdrawn. Cai Shanyan held the binoculars and frowned, feeling a little strange. The resistance of this Japanese unit was unexpectedly slight.

It was nothing more than a single artillery fire and light and heavy machine gun fire. And they retreated. This is really not like the actions of the main forces of the Japanese army.

He didn't know that this was just a tentative attack by the Japanese army. In order to test out the positions of the firing points and artillery positions he set. Good command your own naval artillery to bombard!

By this time, the sky was already dawning, and artillery observation balloons were raised from the Japanese positions. Two very slow naval observation planes swaggered over Luodian to conduct unscrupulous low-altitude observation of the squadron's position.

A quarter of an hour later, the Japanese warships moored in the waters of the Yangtze River began a frantic shelling!

At this time, the Japanese fleet gathered at the mouth of the Yangtze River, with more than 130 warships and more than 4,000 guns! Its artillery coverage is large enough to cover most of the downtown area of Shanghai.

The Japanese army is not the capital of Nanjing, these troops who lack artillery and do not have a deep understanding of artillery operations, the Japanese army that has participated in World War I and even fought against the Soviet Union and studied with Germany knows a lot about the role of artillery in the war!

The typical tactics of the Japanese army were infantry attacks covered by artillery fire, bombed by aircraft, and covered by tanks. If there were no tanks and armored vehicles, then the fire coverage of light and heavy machine guns became a tactical point.

Squad assault, attack in groups of three! Unleash a strong attack on the position, use the grenadier to open the gap in the position at about 200 meters, and then the reddest dash for a white-knuckle battle!

But before that, the Japanese were going to use feints to test the positions with firepower. This squadron of more than 100 people, in fact, is largely due to the Japanese army's luck mentality.

If there were not many defenders, more than 100 men would be enough to capture this position. And if there are too many defenders, more than a hundred people are enough to test the firepower of the defenders.

Luodian is located in the low-lying area of the river network, where only shallow trenches can be dug and deep fortifications cannot be constructed. More importantly, the troops in Nanjing did not have the ideological preparation and experience to build deep fortifications at all!

They were not part of the Wehrmacht, and under the strong demands of the Tu Qianjun and the harsh facts of previous wars, they spontaneously learned the skills of building fortifications such as concealment, anti-artillery and communication trenches in later troops.

On the Nanjing side, the most common ones to deal with were local warlords and red troops. Even the former Feng troops with the most artillery did not have such extravagant artillery attacks as the Japanese army!

"Boom!" The Japanese warship, guided by aircraft, began test launches. The first large-caliber shell, like a stupid black crow, screamed and swept over the town, landing behind the vault of a small church outside the town and exploding.

The blow was so terrible that the roof of the chapel was immediately toppled by a scorching wave of fierce air! The soft ground left a crater with a diameter of more than ten meters, and the broken rubble flew in all directions!

"Boom! Rumble!! Bombardment ......" Subsequently, the Japanese artillery fire finally began to concentrate on bombardment! Under the guidance of the aircraft, the Japanese artillery fire hit the simple positions dug by the 201st Brigade with great accuracy!

Countless stumps were blown up, and mounds of dirt kicked up by the air swept through the air......

The 201st Brigade, which had not been subjected to such frenzied shelling, was frightened, and they made the worst decision: to hide in a nearby courtyard or attic to avoid shelling...... rs！！！
