In October, the 21st Group Army of Guangxi Guijun came to support, including the 7th Army of Steel, a classmate of Wei Zhiyong, a classmate of Sangou's former Military Academy, and the 48th Army, all of whom were children of Guangxi.

Another classmate of Sangou, Cheng Shijie's Tax Police Corps and the 61st Division, formed the 8th Army, also came to support, and these troops were mainly in the middle of the Shanghai battlefield.

Sangou's Left Route Army increased the 4th Iron Army of the Guangdong Army, the 66th Army, the 20th Army of the Sichuan Army, and the 2nd, 25th, and 54th Armies of the Central Army, mainly concentrated in Liuhang, Chenhang and other places south of Luodian.

The strength of the Japanese army has increased to nearly 200,000, and the strength of the Nationalist army has also increased to more than 500,000.

Many units of the Nationalist Army were elite in previous civil wars, but they were limited by their knowledge and obviously lacked experience in the face of the Japanese army's long-range artillery fire, high-altitude aircraft bombs, and other three-dimensional attacks.

For example, the Gui Army, known as the Seventh Army of Steel, blindly emphasized bravery, not afraid of death, and all-round spirit, and opened up the brave momentum of the entire division group to charge, but suffered heavy losses under the enemy's artillery fire.

Many veterans who have experienced a hundred battles did not even see the figure of the devil, so they died on the battlefield needlessly; An elite division was pulled into the battlefield, and in less than a day, it was defeated.

……

The Luodian battlefield where Sangou is located is also under increasing pressure, not only to withstand the continuous strong attack of the Japanese 11th Division in the front, but also to deal with the attack of the Japanese 13th Division on the flank.

The number of troops became smaller and smaller, ammunition became more and more scarce, and the enemy's attacks became more and more intense, and the Niu Gu of the 7th Company had to shrink his forces, abandon the first line of defense, and retreat to the second and third lines of defense.

However, even if the first line of defense is abandoned, there is only no one to defend it, but in the abandoned position, there are many mines made of grenades, and even grenade mines.

Combined with the experience of fighting so many battles, the trenches of the second and third lines of defense were connected, and a few more underground passages were dug out of the tunnels until the third line of defense.

At the beginning of October, the devils arrived as promised, and the sky was bright, first with the bombing of the aircraft as the prelude, and then retreated, and then the manned observation balloon was raised from their positions to guide the navy and artillery to carry out the second shelling, and finally the chariots covered the infantry advance.

In the 7th Company of Sangou, after hearing the explosion of an enemy plane or a correction shell from a Japanese heavy artillery, everyone retreated into the tunnel and hid, and then they heard a tsunami-like explosion from the mountains outside, and the whole ground shook.

"This devil knows that we are hiding, why are we throwing so many shells, isn't it a pity?" Li Jinren, who was in the third shift of the fourth row, was very puzzled.

"It's better to be indiscriminate, how much is a few shells worth, waste some steel, if a few are killed, it will be worth it a long time ago, besides, in addition to hitting people, this shell will also blow up the position we dug." The squad leader Xiucai disagreed.

"Then we can't also build heavy artillery, scrap some steel, and fire a few shells for the devils, so that they can also taste the feeling of being bombed?" Peng Changhua, who has always been inseparable from Li Jinren, asked.

"You think beautifully, if we can build heavy artillery ourselves, without the protection of the planes in the sky, it is useless, and we will bomb the devil's planes there." Xiucai often follows Sangou and knows a lot about the new war.

"Then we can also fly more planes and fight with the devil's plane, there were a few more in the first few days, why are there none now?" Yang Chengzu from the first class came over and chatted too.

"Alas! Why are we being beaten so much here, that is, our air force can't build planes by ourselves, they all buy them, and there are only a few hundred planes, and if you fight with a devil plane, you will have one less, and there are thousands of devils, and you can build thousands of planes every year, how can you fight? ”

Sangou heard such a discussion among the air force junior masters at school, and he couldn't hold it back, so he also told everyone.

"If you are backward, you will be beaten, and we in China have been tossed too backward by the rotten Qing government, and in the past 100 years, as long as it is a country, it will come to China and bully us." Xiucai sighed.

"Yes, if we are strong enough to build aircraft and artillery ourselves, who would dare to come to those countries, this little Japan will naturally not dare to bully us." Sangou said helplessly.

……

Before I could talk about the previous conversation, the devil's bombardment ended, and everyone rushed out of the hiding tunnel again, taking their places, waiting for the devil to come to the door again.

The devil is still the same as the old three, after the cannon is finished, the chariot comes, and the infantry follows the chariot, but the package is increased, the infantry cannon and mortar, and the heavy machine gun are all used, and the fire is very fierce, so that the seventh company can't raise its head at all.

Sangou didn't dare to use the mortar heavy machine gun grenadier canister in the past, and as soon as it appeared, it would definitely become the target of all kinds of firepower, and the 92-step gun did not dare to push it out, and as soon as the "big killer" came out, it was estimated that the devil would immediately call the plane to blow it up.

Therefore, now the Seventh Company can only use the most primitive tactics, dormant and do not move, and when it is closer, it is a grenade and a bayonet, and there is no other way, it really can't do it, so it will attack at night to seize the position back.

In this way, there have been many bloody battles, and the devils have no way to take the Chinese army, and they have to fight if they have no way; The devils are constantly increasing their troops in Shanghai, and it seems that they have to take Shanghai.

Since the First Sino-Japanese War, Japan has found that China has nothing to show for itself, and it is even more reckless in its military force and wants to annex China in one fell swoop.

Now, seeing the rapid development of China's golden decade, he couldn't sit still, and urgently launched the July 7 Incident to attack Beijing and Tianjin, and invaded China in an all-out way, wanting to fight all the way down from North China to the south, and replicate the previous war examples of foreign armies such as the Mongols and Qing soldiers who overthrew the Han dynasty.

Now that there is another big fight in Shanghai, China and Japan have been fighting for nearly two months in a row, and both sides have been increasing their troops.

……

I didn't want to think so much, when Sangou was waiting for the devil's chariot to come to his side, everyone suddenly threw out a row of grenades, and through the smoke, braved the strafing of the devil's chariot machine gun, and pounced on it, and the sound of machine gun bullets kept coming from their ears.

At this time, it's a gamble of luck, if you are killed, you will die, and there is nothing to say, if you are not killed, it will be to blow up the devil's chariot, the three dogs are hard, dodged the oncoming bullet rain, and stuffed the cluster grenade into the chariot track.

One turned over, rolled like a crater next to it, and with a loud bang behind him, the tracks of the devil chariot were blown off, and one of them flew into the sky from the top of the three dogs' heads with a roar.

Niu Gu originally didn't let Sangou do this, it was too dangerous, and the success rate was not high, so it was better to wait for everyone to fight with the devil with bayonets, regardless of the chariots around him.

But the three dogs still have to give it a try, one is that this time it is the turn of the four platoons to guard the front, and they must take the lead, and the other platoon commanders have done this, so the three dogs don't do it, it doesn't look like it.

Fortunately, I was surprisingly lucky, and I got it the first time. At the same time, one of the chariots came behind, and it was hit by a grenade mine that the three dogs had planted earlier, which frightened the other chariots into hesitating.
