21st, evening, 10 o'clock.

To the southeast of Dachang, as three signal flares rose into the night sky, the 36th Division's attack on Huishan Wharf began.

In this main attack, the division commander Song Xilian handed over the 108th Regiment of the 216th Brigade to the regiment commander Hu Jiaji.

Hu Jiaji is brave and good at fighting, and he will take the lead in every battle. What kind of commander will produce what kind of soldiers, the 216th Regiment has become the bravest unit of the 36th Division, so Song Xilian handed over the main attack task to the 216th Regiment.

In this attack, the Ninth Corps made its first sortie of armored units. This is an armored corps formed by the Nationalist Army not long ago, which has already formed its basic combat strength, and has just been transferred from Nanjing to Shanghai at the request of Zhang Zhizhong.

The Corps has three battalions: the first battalion is equipped with British Vickers 6.5 ton tanks, the second battalion is equipped with British amphibious waterway tanks, and the third battalion is equipped with German Mark 1 tanks.

With the help of armored fighting vehicles in this attack, Song Xilian was even more confident, and the morale of the officers and men of the 216th Regiment was even higher.

The 216th Regiment broke through from Shajing Lane, and under the leadership of armored vehicles, it marched all the way and slaughtered in all directions!

At the headquarters of the 36th Division, when Song Xilian learned that the 216th Regiment had reached Zhaofeng Road in less than an hour, he swore and said: "The Japanese army is vulnerable to our armored troops, and this time I will teach the 88th Division how to fight!" ”

Zhaofeng Road, Zhoushan Road, Fair Road, and finally Huishan Wharf. At this rate of attack, the troops could reach Huishan Wharf before dawn. Then use the armored force as a cover, and the Huishan pier is inevitable.

Song Xilian seemed to be a little overly optimistic, and Zhong Bin, the deputy division commander at the command table, said: "The battle has just begun, the Japanese army is defenseless, their outer defense is weak, and we have armored troops to help, such a result is expected." As the troops advance, the Japanese defense will gradually increase, and the difficulty of the attack will gradually increase. ”

Zhong Bin still calmly analyzed the form of the battlefield between the enemy and us. Although the 36th Division was an ace division with the most advanced equipment of the national army at that time, the 36th Division was good at field warfare and was not good at street fighting, and it was even said that the 36th Division had never fought street battles.

The battle situation was indeed as Zhong Bin expected, the Japanese army deployed firepower at various points, there were a large number of sandbag fortifications at the crossroads, and there were fire points on the roof and windows, which were everywhere, and the defensive force gradually became stronger.

At first, the attacking force was invincible under the cover of armored vehicles, but after entering Forte, it was blocked by the Japanese army, and the offensive began to slow down.

The 216th Regiment under the leadership of Hu Jiaji forcibly advanced until before dawn, and advanced near Zhoushan Road at the cost of losing two armored vehicles.

However, at this time, including Song Xilian and Zhang Zhizhong, they did not realize that they had a fatal weakness in tactics: street fighting was not recommended by the street, but by using blasting to recommend each house. The concept of these generals is still stuck in the "128 Song Shanghai War of Resistance" five years ago, and this is the biggest weakness of the national army.

"Keep attacking!"

Hu Jiaji personally commanded the front line and constantly ordered the troops to launch round after round offensive. It can give people the impression that the soldiers of the 216th Regiment only know how to rush and fight, and there are no tactics at all. Hu Jiaji is more than brave and not resourceful.

"Da Da Da" "Da Da Da" "Da Da Da" "......"

In front of an intersection, the muzzle of an armored car was constantly blazing with scorching flames, and powerful bullets were fired in rows at the Japanese sandbag position. However, the group of devils did not intend to fight back, but the dead cat was behind the sandbag.

There were four rounds of gunfire on the rooftops on both sides of the street, one or two machine guns on almost every rooftop, and countless lines of fire angled towards the rear of the tanks.

The soldiers in the rear of the armored car fell in a row, they were too busy with the defense of the vehicles, and ignored the fire on both flanks. The backwardness of the concept led to the tragedy, and they simply thought that the tanbu coordination was the tank followed by the soldiers, and the tank was the shield and the bullet block.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”“……”

Grenades were constantly being thrown from the windows of buildings, flames erupted from the rear of armored vehicles, and there was a break between infantry and tanks. Under the cover of strong fire from the roof, the infantry could not advance into the chariots.

Sadly, the people inside the armored car did not know the emptiness in the rear and rushed towards the Japanese positions alone.

A Japanese reporter from behind the position hurriedly filmed this tragic scene, and the lone hero in the chariot and his chariot were imprinted on the traces of history because of this photo.

The devils behind the sandbag were ready to fight, and when the chariot approached ten meters, a round of grenades was thrown out from behind the sandbag.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”“……”

The front of the position suddenly burst into flames, and the chariot was completely enveloped in flames......

"Why didn't anyone follow up!"

Hu Jiaji saw that his chariot was in danger, and rushed to the front line in a hurry.

A company commander who had gone through several rounds of hard fighting and had a dusty face and blood-stained clothes, he said helplessly: "The enemy's firepower is too fierce, and the chariot can't stop the bullets at all!" ”

Hu Jiaji's anger rushed straight to his head, and his chariot did not work and was given to the enemy in vain, so he shouted: "Bastard! Rush me immediately and take the chariot back for Lao Tzu! ”

"Yes!"

The trumpet of the charge sounded in the streets, and the officers and men of the whole company began to charge under the command of the company commander. The enemy's bullets fell like dots, the soldiers in front were hit by the bullets and fell down, and the soldiers in the back stepped on the corpses of their comrades and continued to charge.

However, courage does not lead to victory. The devil in front dropped the chariot's defensive cannon from before, and then used the chariot as a fortress, and swept wildly with the heavy machine gun inside.

"Tutu Tutu" "......"

Rows of hot bullets slanted like pillars, shooting straight into the street. Countless soldiers were pierced and fell in pools of blood, and the soldiers behind were undaunted and continued to charge in the rain of bullets.

The company commander was killed, the platoon commander was also killed, and a heroic tragedy was exchanged for blowing up his own tank.

"Kill~" "Kill~"

The attacking forces once again launched a tsunami of killing cries. Hu Jiaji was originally an engineer, and he took this heavy axe to charge with other troops and conquer the strong forward position in one fell swoop. The 216th Regiment did not have time to repair, and Hu Jiaji led his troops to continue to attack along the Zhoushan Road.

The battle at the front was in full swing, the 36th Division was attacking unfavorably, but Ye Lei in the rear was still busy with the selection of things.

This day may be Ye Lei's busiest, in addition to training these selection team members, his company is about to settle in this middle school.

Three companies, two-thirds of which are recruits. When Ye Lei thought of this, he began to have a headache, because the war would not give him much time to train recruits, and it was very likely that he would not even go straight to the battlefield with a gun.

"Toot ~ Toot ~ Toot ~" "......"

Early in the morning, a shrill whistle suddenly remembered on the playground. Followed by......

"Urgent gathering!" “……”

The soldiers of the special forces platoon were already waiting on the playground. They were neatly dressed, burly, sharp-eyed, and each with a submachine gun in his hand.

After hearing the whistle, the people in the dormitory got up from the bed in a panic, put on clothes, shoes, and brought equipment.

A minute later, some people ran out of the dormitory one after another and quickly gathered in front of Ye Lei. It wasn't until three minutes before everyone lined up.

"Take a break ~ stand upright!"

Liu Hai, the platoon leader of the spy platoon, gave a command, and the 92 team members finished the queue.

Ye Lei said loudly in front of the team: "The selection officially starts at this moment!" I welcome you, welcome you to Hell! For the next week, it's all about extreme physical workouts, which we call 'Hell Week'! ”
