The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and it was boiling hot on the position that had just been bombed, and when it hit the water, bursts of white fog rose again, and the telescopes could not be used.

Coupled with the headwind, Fang Buwei couldn't hear whether the Japanese army had started attacking again, so he didn't dare to stay too long.

Anyway, the devil couldn't see it, so the two jumped out of the trench and walked on the flat ground instead.

"Staff Officer Fang, do you think it's possible for the devil to retreat?" Wu Qiujian asked, wiping the rain from his face.

"Impossible!" Fang Buwei said very absolutely, "After spending so much effort, even the naval guns were dispatched, not to mention the results at all, and the loss of six tanks, if it was in vain, the commander of the Japanese army would not be able to explain to his superiors at all......."

"I don't have a grenadier, but I still can't beat it?" Wu Qiujian said gloomily.

This is not to increase the prestige of others and destroy the morale of his own family, but to have self-knowledge.

Ten days before the start of the war, he already had a deep understanding of the offensive and defensive battles.

The three elite German armament divisions, plus Yang Hu's Shanghai Security Corps, had more than 50,000 or nearly 60,000 troops, but they could not defeat the Japanese army's 3,000 marines, plus 2,000 ship-based motorized troops and ronins composed of a temporary self-defense force.

It's not that the national army is not bloody.

Up to now, the casualties of the 88th Division have basically exceeded half, but it is still fighting to the death.

The Japanese army, in terms of the quality of individual soldiers and weapons and equipment, is not a little bit stronger than the Chinese soldiers.

"If you can't beat it, you have to fight!" Fang Buwei sneered, "Can you and I still run away without a fight?" ”

How did Song Yuanliang escape in Nanjing?

Nine out of nine, I had such a mind at that time.

"Fart!" Wu Qiujian said angrily, "If Lao Tzu wants to escape, he has escaped a long time ago, can he still stand up to now?" ”

"That's good!" Fang Buwei nodded.

"Lao Tzu still says the same thing, it's a big deal to die on this position!" Wu Qiujian said resolutely, "But forget it......"

What he meant was that Fang Buwei was just a staff officer who came to investigate, and he didn't belong to the war army, so there was no need to stay here and die.

"You're the real!" Fang Buwei sneered, "'People are not divided into men, women, old and young, and the land is not divided into north, south, east and west, all have the responsibility of resisting the war', how do you say this? ”

Look at you?

Kindly thinking about you, but you use the chairman to oppress people?

Wu Qiujian rolled his eyes.

Where could he have thought that when Fang Buwei said this, there was nothing in his mind, and it was really from the bottom of his heart.

"Don't delay the time, hurry back to arm the defense!" Fang Buwei said again.

Wu Qiujian nodded, bent his legs back, poured the rain in his shoes, and quickly followed Fang Buwei.

"Control the water, wipe the bore...... Check the magazine......" Yi Jing roared as he walked around.

This time, the first line of defense was replaced by Yi Jing's third battalion, Fu Changfeng's first battalion, only half of which escaped, and now there are not even two hundred people, and they have been placed on the commanding heights in the city.

I don't know if they were frozen or frightened, but many soldiers shivered with their hands when they checked the chambers and magazines.

Among these people, more than half of them are newly recruited recruits, all of them are from the security corps in Zhejiang and Shanghai, and more than eighty percent have never even been on the battlefield.

"Let's replenish the troops first!" Fang Buwei said, "It's also good to use it to carry ammunition......

"I've already asked Yi Jing to arrange someone to go to the division headquarters for help...... Wu Qiujian sighed.

"Can you let Commander Zhu draw some troops from the 21st Group Army to supplement it?" Fang Buwei asked.

In addition to the German armament division, Zhu Shaoliang's Middle Route Army also had the 21st Army of the Gui Army.

Among all the miscellaneous troops, the Gui army is the first in combat power, and it is more brave than the Sichuan army.

Fang Buwei wanted to draw troops from this part.

"Impossible!" Wu Qiujian shook his head and said, "The 21st Army is also on the front line, and the casualties are heavier than ours, and at most they can only be replenished from Yang Hu's security corps!" ”

Yang Hu is usually busy making a fortune, and his soldiers are negligent in training, not to mention local warlords, among all local security regiments, the combat power is at the bottom.

But what can be done?

You can't do without veterans, and you won't even fight.

Fang Buwei sighed helplessly, and looked at the defense line and fortifications again.

The cemetery is Tiantongan Road, which is bordered by Hongkou in the east, Zhabei Railway Station in the north, and the Bund Wharf in the south.

Most of the houses are brick and concrete structures, and they are very sturdy, so many of them are still standing under the repeated bombing by Japanese planes.

The two new lines of defense were built using these houses.

There are still a few gaps, which were rebuilt by Wu Qiujian only a few days ago.

There were several bunkers that had been converted from civilian houses, and Yi Jingquan arranged machine gunners, including the last machine gun and three mortars.

The gaps are all simple fortifications made of sacks, broken bricks and wood.

Fang Buwei bared his teeth.

In front of the devil's infantry artillery, such fortifications are no different from papier-mâché.

"We have to find a way to knock out the devil's infantry artillery!"

"How?" Wu Qiujian also bared his teeth, "This thing can shoot both straight and curved, and even high, with almost no blind spots...... Besides, we have three mortars and one machine gun left, and we can't do it at all......"

"Who says there are no blind spots? Isn't it okay to let the devil not see it? Fang Buwei said decisively, "Let the mortar go up to the roof behind it...... Could it be that the eyes of the devil artillery can still be turned? ”

Wu Qiujian looked at Fang Buwei with idiot-like eyes: "The eyes of the devil artillery really can't be turned, and our artillery eyes can be turned?" ”

Fang Buwei sneered, and pointed at Yi Jing: "Explain to your parent officer!" ”

Wu Qiujian is not a professional artilleryman, so he hasn't understood the key for a while.

Yi Jing's eyes lit up, and he said excitedly: "What does Staff Officer Fang mean is that another artillery will be sent to find the highest observation point nearby, and after determining the location of the Japanese artillery, it will be reported to the gunner?" ”

Wu Qiujian understood as soon as he heard it.

In this way, the gunners of the national army will open fire according to the coordinates.

However, the Japanese gunners could not see the mortars of the Nationalist army, and at most they could see the direction of the mortars according to the incoming shells, but they could not determine the location.

This is the same as the anti-slope tactic in mountain attack and defense.

"You go for yourself!" Wu Qiujian pointed to Yijing.

Wu Qiujian's subordinates fought Liu Xuwu and Yi Jing the best.

Yi Jing was stunned for a moment: "What about here?" ”

"Lao Tzu is not even as good as you?" Wu Qiujian sneered.

Yi Jing puffed out his cheeks, but under Wu Qiujian's angry gaze, he finally swallowed his words.

It is estimated that it will all have to be left here today, and Yi Jing wants to persuade Wu Qiujian to withdraw first when he sees that the situation is not right.

If Fang Buwei was not there, Wu Qiujian might still have such a little thought, but under Fang Buwei's squeeze, Wu Qiujian had already made up his mind to die in the array.
