Chapter 362: Before the Great War (9)
Inspired by Kawashima Naniwa's heavy reward and forced by the team, this attack lasted more than 20 minutes, and the casualties reached almost half, but under the heavy fire of the People's Army, the attacking personnel finally could not withstand it and had to withdraw again.
However, Kawashima Naniwa did not show mercy to his subordinates, and saw that the attackers had withdrawn again, and immediately ordered the supervising team to shoot, so under the sound of gunfire, more than 10 retreating people were shot and fell to the ground, and Kawashima Naniwa stood at the rear of the supervising team, waving his hand and shouting: "Attack, attack, attack, attack, whoever dares to retreat, shoot and kill." β
But at this moment, two of the Overseers snorted miserably and fell to the ground. It turned out that in the retreating crowd, someone shot at the Overseer. Among the attackers, there were more than 60 rifles, which Prince Su Shanqi had spent a lot of effort to get, but in the battle just now, more than half of them had been killed or wounded, and now there are more than 30 people left.
In all fairness, this attack was not an offensive disadvantage, but that the people's army's firepower was too fierce, and nearly half of the attackers had already suffered casualties. However, the Overseers still shot indiscriminately, which also aroused the anger of the retreating personnel, and finally some people could not suppress the fire and fired back at the Overseers.
And with one person taking the lead, naturally there will be a second and a third, and soon all the retreating personnel who still have guns are vying for guns to shoot, and the supervising team is standing in a row, and the distance is close, just to use them as targets, and as a result, more than 1 0 people were shot at once. The other withdrawers, who did not have rifles, charged at the Overseer with their swords, spears, and halberds.
"Lao Tzu is desperate in front, but you are shooting black guns in the back, so Lao Tzu will quit. β
"Damn, you have the ability to do it, you only dare to hide behind and beat your own people, what kind of ability. β
"You forced Lao Tzu to die, it's not such a good thing, Lao Tzu will take a few of you even if he dies. β
"Bastards, bastards, you dare to rebel, damn it, damn it, Yaga!" This result was indeed a surprise to Kawashima Naniwa, he never dreamed that there would be someone against the water, so at this time he couldn't help but be a little panicked, and his heart was in a hurry, even the Japanese came out, but fortunately, the scene was chaotic at this time, people shouted gunshots, so that no one heard it.
And the Overseer was also enraged, not to mention running away on the battlefield, he even dared to shoot at the Overseer, it seems that the lesson is not enough, the members of the Overseer are all veterans, and the foundation is very solid, so they are also calmly single-shot shooting, knocking down row after row of retreating people, to the point that they did not let him get close, but to force them to turn back and attack, it is impossible. And although Kawashima Naniwa's heart was angry and anxious, there was nothing to be done at this time.
At this moment, only a dense burst of gunfire came from the side, and several of the overseers and retreating personnel were shot and fell to the ground, and the fire was so fierce that it was not under the front position at all.
Kawashima Naniwa couldn't help but be shocked, and looked in the direction of the gunshot, although it was in the dark night, he could still faintly see that on his side, countless figures faintly appeared.
It turned out that when the Kawashima Naniwa commanders launched an attack on the Shanghai New Area, the People's Army guarding the intersection did not blindly eliminate the defense, but looked for an opportunity to counterattack. After all, the KPA guarding the junction still has two platoons of mobile troops. Moreover, the KPA quickly figured out the strength of the enemy forces and the direction of attack.
There are two intersections between the Shanghai New Area and the Old Town of Shanghai, and now the enemy has concentrated all its forces to attack one of the intersections and completely abandon the other. In fact, a commander who has received a formal military education will never let go of the intersection where he does not attack, even if he does not allocate a part of his forces to contain this side, at least he will send a few people to keep an eye on the movement on this side. Because the KPA can use this junction to attack its own flank, and there are still two platoons of troops stationed at this junction, which is also completely liberated.
So the battalion commander guarding the junction immediately ordered to draw a platoon from the reserve army, and another platoon from the junction that had never been attacked, and concentrate the forces of two platoons, and attack the enemy's flank from the junction that had never been attacked.
Although the KPA did not have many troops, it was attacking from the flank, which caught Kawashima Naniwa off guard, not to mention that at this time, Kawashima Naniwa's personnel were fighting in the internal struggle, although the KPA's assault made the two sides stop the internal fighting, but they were also beaten by the KPA into chaos.
Kawashima Naniwa still wanted to work harder, commanding the Supervisor and other veteran Japanese soldiers to meet the battle, and first stabilize the position, but at this moment, the People's Army in the front position also rushed out and launched an attack. Under the attack of the People's Army on both sides, the retired Japanese soldiers could not resist it, so they had to retreat one after another, while the others had already fled in all directions.
Of course, Kawashima Naniwa knew that if he retreated, then this operation would be a complete failure, and Kawashima Naniwa was of course unwilling to fail like this, so he also pointed his fingers and shouted to the retired Japanese soldiers to resist it. In fact, at this point, the raid on the Shanghai New Area had failed, but Kawashima Naniwa did not face this fact. However, the retired Japanese soldiers knew very well in their hearts that the defeat was determined and irretrievable, and the Japanese soldiers were not afraid of death, but this time they were not guarding the position, and they wanted to live and die with the position, so several soldiers carried Kawashima Naniwa and withdrew from the battlefield.

At this time, the situation in the Shanghai New Area has also changed. First of all, reinforcements from the administrative and dormitory districts arrived. Originally, there was a company of troops guarding the administrative district and the dormitory area, and there was only one platoon for the night vigil, but the other troops were stationed in the area, so reinforcements soon arrived.
After the troops guarding the administrative area and the dormitory area arrived, the thugs who attacked the administrative area and the dormitory area were naturally no opponent, and they were quickly dispersed under the counterattack of the People's Army. And the casualties were very heavy. Fortunately, the troops guarding the administrative area and the dormitory area did not chase hard, after all, their duty was to defend.
However, the crisis in the administrative district and dormitory area has finally been lifted, so Jiang Shiwei and Liu Lantao are also relieved, as long as the administrative district and dormitory area are fine, then there will be an explanation.
At this time, the other troops and police have also been assembled, just waiting for the order to attack. Now the two have a total of four companies of troops and about 400 policemen. Therefore, Liu Lantao immediately ordered the troops to be divided into platoons and units, and each district was to be responsible for the management of public security in the district. The battalion headquarters of the two battalions are used as the total mobile force. The police are also dispersed to assist the army.
Originally, after entering the Shanghai New Area, Liu Lantao divided the Shanghai New Area into 12 blocks and set up a communication point to facilitate future management. Now that the Shanghai New Area is basically in chaos, and Jiang Shiwei and Liu Lantao cannot control the overall situation, they have no choice but to adopt this most stupid method to disperse the army and distribute it to various areas of the Shanghai New Area for supervision. Although this has also caused the KPA to disperse its strength, considering that the KPA is a regular army, its combat effectiveness is definitely stronger than that of the terrorists, and there is also a mobile force, so there will not be much of a problem.
In addition, Jiang Shiwei and Liu Lantao also considered that the Shanghai New Area had already suffered a certain amount of damage, and there must have been a lot of displaced residents, so they should find a safe place to gather these suffering residents. After a brief consultation, the two decided to gather the suffering residents in the square in front of the borough. It is an open place, which can accommodate 1 or 2 thousand people, and there is also an army guarding the administrative district and two battalion headquarters, which can fully guarantee security. However, it cannot be ruled out that there are thugs mixed with the refugees, so not only are the refugees who enter the administrative districts searched, but also the principle of 50 people being concentrated in one place, and the refugees are scattered and then sent to the army to take care of them.
After the People's Army was dispatched, the situation in the Shanghai New Area was immediately reversed, and the rioters were certainly not the opponents of the People's Army, and the two sides were immediately dispersed and fled, but the People's Army did not chase after them, and after driving away the rioters in the area, they immediately put on guard in the area, organized personnel to fight fires and save people, and sent refugees to the administrative area.
Soon three or four districts settled down and more than 200 refugees were brought in. Of course, the locations of these regions are relatively close to the administrative regions, and the troops can quickly arrive, while the troops from other regions are also rushing in one after another. Seeing that the situation was finally developing on the good side, Liu Lantao was naturally very happy, and on the one hand, he ordered the soldiers to resettle the refugees, and on the other hand, he urged the troops from other regions to quickly station.
And at this time, there was good news, the defenders on the periphery had routed the attacking hostile forces, held the Shanghai New Area, and also increased the mobile strength of 2 or 3 platoons to the Shanghai New Area.
At this time, Jiang Shiwei and Liu Lantao were completely relieved, although there were still some troops who were not stationed in their own areas, and there were still a lot of sporadic battles in the Shanghai New Area, but at this point, the overall situation had basically been determined, and they had finally regained control of the situation, and the remaining thugs were difficult to become climate, so the remaining thing was to clean up the mess, count the extent of the damage in the Shanghai New Area, and deal with the aftermath.
But these things need to be negotiated with Yang Yuxin, after all, he is the highest administrative official of Shanghai New District, fortunately, the dormitory area has not been breached, so Yang Yuxin should be fine, and the area is basically safe, so Liu Lantao also contacted the dormitory area and asked Yang Yuxin to come to the administrative area to negotiate the aftermath. Jiang Shiwei, on the other hand, reported the latest progress like Qingdao.
After Nazhi contacted the dormitory, the two received a shocking news that Yang Yuxin's home in the dormitory was attacked, and all five members of the family were unconscious, and now they have just been sent to the hospital for rescue.
