The rockets do not fly fast and can be seen with the naked eye. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

It is precisely because it can be seen with the naked eye, so it is even more terrifying, for example, the bullet, because the flight speed is too fast, the naked eye can't see it at all, and it is a matter of an instant after being shot, so it is not much scary, but the rocket is different, this kind of horror of watching the rocket come is extremely strong.

Under the hot air balloon in the sky, there was a hanging basket, and in the hanging basket sat three devil observers, and almost as soon as the rocket was launched, one of the devil observers immediately discovered it.

"Yaga, bazooka!" The devil observer immediately screamed in terror.

At this time, the bazooka was no longer a novelty weapon, and the Kwantung Army was already equipped with a large number of bazookas, so this devil observer recognized it at a glance.

Hearing the scream, the other two devil observers also turned their heads.

In the next moment, the other two devil observers also screamed.

Then, under the frightened gaze of the three devil observers, the bazooka had already roared, and it hit the hot air balloon in one fell swoop, a huge target like a hot air balloon, it was very difficult for Xu Rui to miss! There was a bang, and the rocket exploded, tearing the balloon apart in one fell swoop.

Without the support of the hot air balloon, the bottom gondola immediately falls.

A moment later, the gondola carrying the three Devil Observers fell to the ground.

When the devil soldiers on the ground rushed forward and rescued the three devil observers, they found that the three devil observers were bleeding from their mouths and noses, and obviously they couldn't do it, so the devil's hot air balloon was destroyed, and the devil observers could no longer rise into the air to provide accurate guidance to the Japanese navy.

The caliber of naval guns is large, and the firing range is also long, often more than 10 kilometers and 20 kilometers, but the earth has curvature, even on the uncovered ocean, the scenery from 10 kilometers away cannot be seen, so the naval guns must be guided by observers, otherwise the shells will not know where they will fly.

But now, the observation hot air balloon has been destroyed! The Navy is blind!

After realizing this, Takahashi Tagaji was furious!

Takahashi Tagaji was the brigade commander of the 40th Infantry Brigade with the rank of Major General.

The 17 permanent divisions and regiments of the little devil and the first batch of 20 ad hoc divisions and regiments are all four-unit divisions, each division has two infantry brigades and four directly subordinate wings, and the 20th division has the 39th brigade and the 40th brigade under its jurisdiction, of which the brigade commander of the 39th brigade, Sekihara 6, has been killed on the Jiangwan battlefield.

So now, Takahashi Tagaji is already the only remaining general of the 20th Division!

"Yaga Yaru!" Takahashi Tagaji was furious, because with the destruction of the hot air balloon, the large-caliber naval guns of the Fourth Fleet of the Navy could no longer provide them with artillery support, and now the only thing that could help them was the Third Flying Regiment of the Twelfth Army, and the problem was that there were no more bombers left in the Third Flying Regiment.

This situation was very passive, and several of his co-captains all gathered in front of Takahashi Tagaji.

Wing Commander of the 79th Infantry Wing, Jiro Kikoshi, said: "Brigade commander, break through, without the artillery support of the navy's large-caliber naval artillery group, it is absolutely impossible for Luodian to hold on!" It's better to take advantage of the fact that the Chinese Jun team has not completed the encirclement of Luodian on all sides, and hurry up to break through to the west, otherwise it will not be able to go. ”

Wing Commander Hashimoto Hiromitsu of the 26th Field Artillery Regiment immediately retorted: "No, we can't break through to the west, the gap in the west was deliberately left by the Chinese, and the Chinese are playing the trick of encircling three queyi, if we really break through to the west, we will fall into their tricks, I dare to assert that there must be an ambush outside the gap in the west!" ”

Kaoru Minami, the wing commander of the 20th Engineer Wing, was also in favor of breaking through the siege, and said coldly: "Hashimoto-kun, you think too much, the reason why the Chinese do not encircle the west is because they have insufficient troops, not that they do not want to encircle!" So if the imperial army wants to break through, the Chinese will absolutely not be able to stop it, brigade commander, I support the breakthrough. ”

As soon as the words fell, another voice immediately sounded: "I think that I should stick to it and wait for help!" ”

In the end, it was Hosokawa Nakayasu, the wing commander of the 20th Wing of the Heavy Soldiers, who spoke, but Hosokawa Nakayasu opposed the breakout not out of public intentions, but out of ulterior selfishness, because the Heavy Soldiers Wing had a large number of vehicles, and if he wanted to break through, there was a chance that these trucks would not be able to keep them, and he was responsible for this.

The four winged captains below were divided into two factions, and in that fierce quarrel, Takahashi Taga was extremely big.

"Enough! Baga Yalu, that's enough! Takahashi Tagaji sharply interrupted the quarrel of the four wing captains, and said, "Whether you break through or not is not that you say that you can count, nor that I say that you can count, but the order of the base camp!" After a pause, Takahashi Tagaji shouted again, "Call the base camp immediately and ask for instructions......"

Before Takahashi Tagaji's words were finished, a communications staff officer hurriedly walked over.

"Brigade Commander!" The communications staff officer walked up to Takahashi Tagaji and said with a heavy pause, "The base camp is in an emergency!" ”

Takahashi Tagaji waved his hand impatiently and shouted, "Read! ”

"Hello!" The communications staff officer paused again, unfolded the telegram and read, "The remaining troops of the 20th Division, your unit must defend Luodian to the death, and must not abandon it lightly, the base camp has ordered the 104th Division to rush to Luodian urgently, and within half a day, reinforcements will arrive!" On May X, the 14th year of the Showa era, the Great Japanese Empire was onboard, and His Majesty the Emperor was onboard. ”

After the communications staff officer finished reading, the entire war room immediately became quiet.

The orders of the base camp have been issued, so there is no need to continue to argue, so hurry up and carry it out!

At that moment, Takahashi Tagaji said: "Gentlemen, at this time of crisis, only by relying on the concerted efforts of all the monarchs and all the officers and soldiers can it be possible to survive this crisis. ”

"Hello!" Several wing captains paused at the same time.

Moments later, the Wing Captains dispersed.

(Dividing Line)

Today is destined to be an unquiet day for Shanghai.

This is true not only for the Chinese people stranded in Shanghai, but also for all the staff of the Western embassies in Shanghai, where gunfire rang out all night, and almost all the diplomatic personnel of the Western countries stationed in Shanghai did not sleep all night, including the US military attache in Shanghai, Colonel Wilson.

Last night, Wilson played mahjong with Steve, Ferguson, and Butler in the VIP room of the Chinachem Hotel for a whole night, and it was not until dawn that the four of them dispersed and went to the western restaurant on the third floor of the hotel for breakfast.

Because Helena looked extra radiant this morning.

"Miss Helena." Wilson walked up to Helena, hugged his right hand and bowed slightly, put on a very gentlemanly appearance, and then smiled and said, "It's really nice that we're meeting again, and you look so beautiful this morning, oh really, you're so beautiful." ”

Helena smiled right, no matter how pleasant it was to be complimented.

Seeing that Helena did not seem to be disgusted, Wilson immediately stepped in and said, "Miss Helena, it would be a great honor if I had the opportunity to have breakfast with you. ”

But this time, Wilson hit a nail.

Helena said, "Colonel, don't you know yet? ”

"Don't know?" Wilson was dazed, "Don't know what?" ”

"Oh God, you really don't know." Helena shrugged her shoulders and said, "Last night, the Songhu Military Division fought a big victory in Jiangwan Town, severely damaged the main force of the Japanese 20th Division, and then took advantage of the victory to pursue and surrounded the remnants of the 20th Division in Luodian Town, God, the 20th Division is about to be completely annihilated!" ”

"Scared, Oh?" Wilson's eyes widened at the words.

Just last night, when Wilson was interviewed by Helena, he still swore to her that in this battle of Shanghai, the Songhu Military Division had no chance at all, and the Japanese 20th Division would win! But just one night passed, and the 20th Division of the Japanese Army was about to be completely annihilated by the Songhu Military Division!

This face is just crackling, hot and painful!

Suddenly, Wilson felt a burning pain in his face.

However, Wilson still couldn't believe it, and said, "Miss Helena, you can't be mistaken, right?" ”

"Of course not, I have absolutely reliable sources over there in the Songhu Military Division!" After Helena finished speaking, she turned around and walked out of the dining room, walked to the door and turned back to Wilson and said, "Colonel, I should have had breakfast with you, but I really have to hurry back to write the newsletter, so I can only say sorry to you, and I can only invite you to dinner next time." ”

"Okay, let's talk about it next time." Wilson waved his right hand mechanically, but there was no trace of thought in his mind, only the shocking news that the 20th Division was about to be wiped out! God, how did this battle of the Songhu Military Division go? To annihilate the 20th Division?

Some walked back to the table, only to find Ferguson and the others talking about last night's fight.

Seeing Wilson coming over, Ferguson immediately said, "Colonel Wilson, did you hear the radio just now?" ”

"Broadcasting?" Wilson's mind was a mess, and he shook his head blankly and said, "What a broadcast, I didn't hear it." ”

Ferguson pointed to the speaker on the ceiling of the cafeteria, and then said: "Listen, the field radio station of the Songhu Military Sub-district is broadcasting good news, saying that they inflicted heavy damage on the 20th Division in Jiangwan last night, and now they are besieging more than 10,000 remnants of the 20th Division in Luodian Town, and the 20th Division is about to be wiped out!" ”
