Chapter 640: The Bridge

Naturally, the Chinese army could not hide the matter from the Japanese under the pretext of the French Concession, and Fujita Jin, who got the news, was suddenly furious. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"These white-skinned pigs are really hateful, the attitude of refusing the soldiers of the empire to enter the French Concession last time was so resolute, I didn't expect these guys to be cowardly as soon as the people came, what a bunch of soft eggs without bones!"

"Fujita-kun, now is not the time to pursue the French, what you have to do now is how to hold Shanghai, everything else is secondary." Seishiro Sakagaki, who was on the side, reminded with a calm face.

Looking at the yin and yang strange face of Seishiro Sakagaki on the side, Fujita Jin was angry and snorted coldly: "Your Excellency Sakagaki, I don't need you to remind me, of course I know my duties, you can rest assured that if Shanghai is lost, as a commander, I will inevitably commit suicide to apologize to the emperor." ”

"Yaga, did I let you have a caesarean section? His Majesty the Emperor appointed you as the commander of the Thirteenth Army, not for you to be disemboweled, your task is to open up territory for the empire and His Majesty, not to be disemboweled at every turn like those low-level officers, since His Majesty appointed you as the commander of the Thirteenth Army, you must not disappoint Your Majesty's high expectations, if Shanghai is lost, do you know how much loss the empire will suffer? Seishiro Sakagaki scolded directly, looking at Seishiro Sakagaki's mouth that kept closing, Fujita Jin just wanted to knock out his front teeth with his fists, but he couldn't and didn't dare, he could only endure it, the official level crushed people to death, this law is the same no matter which country, especially a country like Japan that believes that order is everything.

Fujita Jin took a deep breath and said coldly: "Your Excellency Chief of Staff, I am just doing my best to protect this city, if you think that my ability is not enough to be the commander of the Thirteenth Army, you can suggest that the base camp remove me, but when I am still the commander of the Thirteenth Army, I hope you will not interfere with my command." ”

Seishiro Sakagaki's face immediately turned red, his whole body trembled with anger, and his trembling right hand pointed at Fujita Jin, who was so angry that he couldn't speak for a while, "Yaga Yalu, you...... Are you questioning me for indiscriminately directing? ”

Fujita Susu's words undoubtedly poked at the sore spot of Seishiro Sakagaki, since he was pulled down from the position of Minister of War, he always felt that the eyes of the people around him had changed significantly, and in his opinion, the strong ridicule and pity in this gaze was so strong, which also made him feel an indescribable grievance. This time Nishio Shouzo sent him to Shanghai to urge Fujita to defend Shanghai, he was already very unhappy, and now Fujita Jin actually used this tone to talk to him, which made the anger in his heart no longer suppress, and for a while, the anger he had accumulated during this time rushed out like a magma explosion.

Seeing that Sakagaki's eyes became red, he took two steps forward and walked to a place less than a meter away from Fujita, and shouted to him word by word: "Fujita-kun, you have to remember that I was ordered by Commander-in-Chief Nishio Shouzo to supervise your defense of Shanghai, if you think I interfered with your command, I can leave the command headquarters, and I will not say a word to you again." However, please remember that I will keep an eye on you here, and if you make a mistake in the days to come, I will report to Commander-in-Chief Nishio and the base camp in 1510, so you better pray that Amaterasu will not be caught by me, otherwise you will be fine! ”

Seishiro Sakagaki's voice was not loud, but he could hear it clearly to the staff officers in the battle hall who had been eavesdropping on them. For the contradiction between the two chiefs, these staff officers don't want to know and don't dare to know, they know better than anyone else the truth of the fairy fight and the little ghost, so no matter who they are suffering from collective deafness at this time, everyone is busy with their own affairs, and no one dares to speak out.

And Fujita Jin also felt a chill in his neck, and he immediately realized that the word "interference command" he just said had offended Seishiro Sakagaki to death. This guy is going to fight himself to the end in the future, Ren is Fujita Jin is no longer afraid of death, but when he thinks that from now on, there will always be a cold poisonous snake staring at him next to him, as long as he shows a little flaw, the other party will open his mouth wide and pounce with his fangs exposed, and a chill involuntarily wells up in his heart. As the old saying goes, I'd rather offend a gentleman than a villain, isn't I offending a villain today?

I wanted to apologize to Seishiro Sakagaki to ease the atmosphere, but I couldn't save face, just when Fujita Jin was a little hesitant, the phone next to him rang, and when Fujita Jin took the microphone before he could speak, a hurried voice rang: "Your Excellency Commander, the people of China have begun to attack Zhabei!" ”

After the Chinese army entered the French Concession, they successfully launched an attack in the direction of Zhabei through the French Concession, while the Japanese army, which received the death order, stuck to the streets, and the two sides fought to the death along various streets and areas.

As an international metropolis, Shanghai is inhabited by millions of residents and countless foreigners, and all countries have businesses, companies and various institutions in Shanghai, so not only 155 mm and 203 mm such heavy artillery with too much destructive power cannot be used, but even light howitzers such as 105 caliber are also forbidden to use, but fortunately, Su Jin transported a tank regiment of the 1st Armored Division here through various means, otherwise Huang Weiguo really dare not imagine how much it would cost to attack this city that the Japanese desperately defended......

Zhabei Zhejiang Road Bridge, commonly known as the garbage bridge, was built in 1880, is an important passage connecting the Wusong River and Suzhou, after continuous reconstruction, the bridge has become an important transportation hub, Jin Wenhai's third company is tasked with seizing this important bridge at the beginning of the battle and building a blocking position opposite the bridge to block the Japanese reinforcements, but when more than 160 soldiers of the third company quickly interspersed near the garbage bridge under the cover of three No. 4 tanks, It was found that the Japanese army had already built three zigzag fortresses on the south bank of the bridgehead, and the Japanese army forcibly demolished all the buildings within more than 300 meters in order to increase the field of view, so when the third company had not yet reached the bridgehead, rain-like bullets were poured over.

In a fortress in the middle of the bridge, Uda Riyu Shaozo held a ninety-three type 4 times telescope to carefully observe the movement ahead, he found that the opposite Huaxia army was attacked and did not rush to counterattack, their infantry either hid behind the bunker or behind the tank, the three gray tanks began to turn around unhurriedly, and the tank led by quickly turned the muzzle and quickly fired a shot at the fortress.

"Boom ......"

A high-explosive bomb hit the bunker where Uda Toshiyu was, and after the explosion, the bunker was not damaged except for a layer of skin.

"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"

A puff of smoke blew into the bunker, and after Uda Toshiyu coughed a few times, he looked at the tank hundreds of meters away and sneered: "The people of China think that with a few chariots, it is like taking down the bunker we have built quietly, it is simply a dream. Since the artillery power of the people of China is so poor, it is our turn to fight back and order the anti-aircraft artillery to start counterattacking! ”

Uda Li has enough confidence to say this, these three reinforced concrete bunkers were built under his own supervision, and the thickness of the bunkers alone has reached two meters, in Uda Toshiyu's opinion, unless the Chinese people use siege artillery, it is impossible to take these three bunkers. As soon as Uda Toshiyu's words fell, the three tanks on the opposite side fired at the bunker at the same time as if they were not convinced, this time they used armor-piercing shells, but they had no effect except for making a small hole in the bunker.

"My grass, why is the turtle shell built by the little devil so hard?" Liu Dazhou, the commander of the third company, gasped when he saw the smoke of gunpowder dissipate and stood steadily in front of the three pillboxes, although the caliber of the artillery of the No. 4 tank was not large, it was more than enough to deal with ordinary pillboxes and fortifications, but when it was used to bombard the three pillboxes in front, it could only scratch a little skin.

Just when Liu Dazhou was surprised, he saw the fire behind the bunker in front of him flickering twice in a row, and then a huge explosion sounded nearby. When the smoke cleared, Liu Dazhou found that the three tanks in the vicinity were counterattacked by the opponent's anti-aircraft artillery, two of the three No. 4 tanks were hit, one was hit in the front armor, the front armor exposed a small hole and was not penetrated, and the side armor of the other was hit, and the whole tank emitted thick black smoke.

"It's not good, the tanks retreat quickly, the devils have anti-war artillery!" Liu Dazhou was taken aback and hurriedly notified the remaining two tanks through the walkie-talkie.

Soon, the remaining two No. 4 tanks quickly hung up the reverse gear and slammed the accelerator and drove the tanks to the building complex behind, but in the Japanese pillbox group, there was a thunderous cheer, and many Japanese soldiers cheered loudly. What had just hit two No. 4 tanks was a 47-mm anti-tank gun newly equipped by the Japanese army. In recent years, the Japanese army that confronted the Third Army deeply felt the threat of the No. 4 tank of the First Armored Division, and the anti-tank guns equipped by the Japanese army were all imitations of the German PAK37 battle defense guns, but after fighting with the Third Army, in the face of the hundreds of ferocious No. 4 tanks of the Third Army, the Japanese army deeply felt that the original Type 94 anti-tank gun had become outdated, so it began to develop a larger caliber 47 mm anti-tank gun, but this gun was not original to the Japanese, Rather, it was an imitation of the captured Soviet 45-mm anti-tank gun.

This 47 mm anti-tank gun has a good armor-piercing ability, and can penetrate 50 mm thick armor at a distance of 300 meters.

"Quick...... A few people hurriedly rescued the brothers in the tank! Although Liu Dazhou understood that the crew of the tank that was hit was probably more than lucky, he still gave an order with the attitude of a dead horse as a live horse doctor, and after giving this order, he began to order the troops to attack the fortress in front, mortars and machine guns immediately fired at the front, and the two sides fought for a while, but Liu Dazhou regretted that the two anti-tank guns of the Japanese were immediately concealed again after firing, which also made him very disappointed.

Seeing that he couldn't help the other party's three strong bunkers, and could only watch the other party unscrupulously pouring bullets and rain on him, Liu Dazhou scratched his head a little. At this time, the second platoon commander said hatefully on the side: "Company commander, if we don't follow up and bring a B-4 heavy artillery over, I don't believe that this turtle shell will not be broken!" ”

Liu Dazhou glared at the platoon commander: "It's not that you don't know that the division seat does not allow us to use heavy artillery, and besides, our heavy artillery is all in the area of Hongqiao Airport, and when the heavy artillery comes here, the daylily will be cold!" ”

"What then?" The second platoon leader also scratched his head a little.

Liu Dazhou looked at his wrist a little anxiously, the battalion commander gave him only half an hour, if he could not take the bridge within half an hour, the Japanese reinforcements in Suzhou would probably arrive, and it would be even more difficult to take the bridge at that time.

Just as he was scratching his head, there was a sound of metal tracks grinding behind him, and when they looked back, two "steel monsters" larger than Tank No. 4 appeared in front of him. I only heard a burst of metal tracks accompanied by the roar of the engine, and the two tanks slowly drove onto Liu Dazhou's street, if it weren't for Liu Dazhou's clear sight of the blue sky and white sun flag on the flank of the tank, Liu Dazhou, who was excited, would almost have fired at them.

The arrival of these two tanks not only surprised Liu Dazhou and others, but also shocked Uda Liyou, who was in the bunker, looking at the huge muzzles of the two tanks opposite, he hurriedly shouted: "Hurry up...... Hurry up and use the anti-aircraft artillery to knock out the two chariots of the Zhinamen! ”

"Quick...... Fire! With Uda Toshiyu's order, the two 47-mm anti-tank guns that were originally hiding in the bunker were pushed out by more than a dozen Japanese soldiers, and then aimed at the two tanks in front and hurriedly opened fire.

"Boom ......"

A muffled thud was heard, followed by a loud bang ahead, and two shells were fired, one of which missed, and the other hit the front armor of a tank in front of it. Uda Toshiyu, who was carefully looking ahead with a telescope, could see clearly, but just as he wanted to cheer, he saw that the smoke had cleared, but the tank that had been hit was still in place, except for a small pit in the front armor, it was still intact.

I saw that its tank slowly turned the turret, and the huge muzzle was aimed at the pillbox where Uda Toshiyu was, and the next moment Uda Toshiyu saw the muzzle of the tank flash, and then he felt a huge explosion sound, and there was a tremor under his feet, and the whole fortress seemed to shake a little, and several Japanese soldiers behind a shooting hole not far away were hit by the debris that splashed in, and they fell to the ground screaming and rolling.
