285. Caohang Town built fortifications

"All the strength is exerted, and after a few days of comfortable life, I won't be able to dig trenches!" In Cao Xingzhen, Lin Feng shouted everywhere with a loudspeaker. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Sun Liren, Yang Biao and others are also inspecting everywhere, this time Lin Feng is a whole bunch of guys, high-standard fast-drying cement, steel bars and high-strength steel ingots up to one meter thick, so that 8,000 soldiers turned into construction workers, and spent money from all around to invite a large number of young people to build fortifications. The standard is that it can withstand 410mm caliber naval guns head-on.

The time was less than three days before the Japanese army landed, and if it weren't for Lin Feng's dislike of not wanting to get used to this group of soldiers, he would have directly made an invincible castle by himself.

In addition to the concession, most areas of Shanghai are building fortifications, but those fortifications are not comparable to Lin Feng, and it is good to be able to resist mortars.

There was also a group of soldiers from the 201st Brigade measuring the trajectory, and the heavy artillery given by Lin Feng was all howitzers. If it is a cannon, the trajectory is straighter, and there are more dead angles for shooting, and the advantage is that the cannon can hit close targets, and the howitzer can hit some targets that cannot be seen from a different perspective.

There are dozens of buildings that block the ballistics have been demolished one or two floors above, of course, they are given money, in fact, it doesn't matter if they don't give it, every day there is an air force battle in the sky, and the people also have the heart to resist Japan, and they heard that their houses blocked the ballistics of the shells, and they all demolished them themselves.

Moreover, Lin Feng had already asked Sun Liren to post notices everywhere in Caohang Town, Caohang Town would become the most dangerous area in the whole of Shanghai, and all the people would be evacuated from Caohang Town.

Some of them left consciously, some were forcibly driven out by Lin Feng's arrangement, and some wanted to join the army, but Lin Feng did not refuse, and asked Sun Liren to recruit according to the requirements, and asked for culture and physical fitness.

The 201 Brigade was famous in the Shanghai area, and the artillery bombardment on the night of the 14th resounded throughout Shanghai, and as soon as the gossip spread, everyone knew that a heavy artillery unit had come to Shanghai, and the two-hour artillery bombardment killed tens of thousands of devils.

The young men who were invited to participate in the construction of the fortifications worked harder than the soldiers, dripping with sweat bare-chested, digging the soil, mixing cement for mixing cement, and hanging steel ingots for hanging ingots.

The soldiers of the cooking squad are not idle, the sour plum water is not limited, and the meal is pork rib soup, chicken soup, braised pork, stir-fried mutton, etc., the soldiers and young men are full and rest for half an hour to continue to work, although there is no sun recently, but this is still a hot day, sweat sprinkled all over the preset fortification area of the 201 brigade.

After two days of day and night work, all the fortifications were urgently completed, and a large number of ammunition depots were built underground, enough for heavy artillery to shell continuously for three days, and they were capped with double-layer steel ingots and reinforced concrete. At this time, it was already the evening of the 22nd, less than ten hours before the recorded landing of the 3rd Division of the Japanese Army at the Wusong Railway Wharf.

However, the Japanese army already had four aircraft carriers, the Kaga, the Ryuchamp, the Fengxiang, and the Akagi, as well as dozens of armored cruisers (heavy cruisers), light cruisers, destroyers, submarines, and gunboats, which sailed to the southeast coast of China.

Lin Feng's anti-aircraft guns here didn't hit a single shot, and if he attracted the attention of the Japanese army during the construction of the fortifications, it would be a real ghost.

All heavy artillery and anti-aircraft guns have been built anti-gun positions, tanks and other armored vehicles have all been dispersed, and all transport trucks have been withdrawn from Caohang Town and are on standby in Suzhou.

After resting for half a night, Lin Feng and Sun Liren got up, drank two sips of water, and Lin Feng said: "The 3rd Division of the Japanese Army should land in Wusongkou in a while, this time it's not like going back to vacation after the last fight, this fight will be over, at least three months." ”

"What does the chief say about this, it's not that my Sun Liren can't endure hardship." Sun Liren thought that Lin Feng was afraid that he would not be able to endure hardship, so he patted his chest and screamed.

"Eh, what's the noise, wait and listen, the guns should go off in a while." Lin Feng motioned for Sun Liren to be quiet.

Not long after, the sound of gunfire was heard in the direction of Wusong Railway Wharf, and the Japanese 3rd Division forcibly landed under the cover of naval guns, and the Battle of Songhu officially began.

Chen Cheng commanded the 15th Group Army to defend in the direction of Wusong, and directly entered into a white-hot battle with the 3rd Division of the Japanese Army, which had just landed.

In the face of thousands of casualties, the 15th Army still resisted the front line, and before dawn, the Japanese 11th Division landed under the cover of dense naval artillery from Shishilin and Chuanshakou, and attacked directly in the direction of Baoshan, Yuepu, and Luodian.

As the day gradually dawned, more than 100 fighters taking off from the four Japanese aircraft carriers flew into the battlefield, countless bombs fell like rain, and fighter and machine guns continued to dive and strafe, blowing up the defending fighters completely unable to raise their heads.

"Quick, contact the 201st Brigade and request support!" Chen Cheng felt that the battle was extremely unreasonable, and the Japanese army was simply unreasonable, and the opening scene was the continuous shelling of dozens of warships' naval guns, and by dawn hundreds of warplanes came to rain bombs, and before they could make formal contact, thousands of officers and men were killed and wounded.

The correspondent sent by the 15th Group Army to the 201st Brigade received a telegram from the headquarters asking for help, and the girl ran to Lin Feng, and ran out of breath in front of Lin Feng, "Sir, Commander Chen of our department requests heavy artillery support!" ”

"Yo, it's only been a few hours and I can't bear it, I've been waiting for half a night to get the coordinates, it's time to open the meat." Lin Feng took the telegram for help in the correspondent's hand, on which the target that needed to be shelled had already been written.

"Brother Sun, go and arrange the shelling of the heavy artillery battalion, I have one request, and the shelling must not be stopped within an hour."

Sun Liren was speechless and turned around to go to the heavy artillery battalion with the telegram, the commander didn't look at the requirements on the telegram, Chen Cheng said that the shelling would take twenty minutes, and you would take an hour, a loser!

When the heavy artillery battalion received the task, the gun jacket was removed, and the muzzle of the gun was stretched out from the bunker, and the soldiers of the heavy artillery battalion, who had already calculated the ballistic parameters around Shanghai, directly loaded at least 170 kilograms of shells weighing nearly 300 kilograms into the howitzer.

"Put!" The commander of the heavy artillery battalion directly ordered the artillery to be fired, and the boss said that after an hour of fighting, breakfast should be eaten, and breakfast should be started early.

"Boom...... Seventy-two heavy artillery pieces ...... projected nearly 15 tons of ammunition at one time, and landed at Wusong, Shishilin, and Chuanshakou.

This wave caused the Japanese troops who were rushing to suffer a great loss, and the Japanese troops who were originally bombing indiscriminately with their own naval guns and planes were indiscriminately bombing, and the Japanese troops who were taking a walk while watching the excitement were killed by 72 heavy artillery shells at a time, nearly 1,000 people were killed at one time.

"Yaga! Hurry up and find cover and anti-artillery! "The division commander of the 3rd Division, Fujita Susu, saw on a light cruiser that the elite below him was killed hundreds of people at a time, and his heart was dripping blood, the 3rd Division was a permanent division of the Japanese army, the main force of the main force, and the elite of the elite.

Founded in 1888, the 3rd Division, also known as the Nagoya Division, belongs to the ranks of the first division, with two infantry brigades, one cavalry brigade, and one field heavy artillery brigade, with nearly 28,000 men.

This is the only division regiment that has been located in China from the beginning of the war to the surrender! (To be continued.) )
