There is a price to pay for retreating in the face of such heavy shelling, and these little devils have paid a heavy price.

There was a loud bang, a whistling shell exploded violently, blowing up a large pit of more than ten meters on the ground, and the soil was splashed, and there were just a dozen little devils next to them, and the cat fled in fear with their waists bent, and the explosion sounded, and several of these little devils were blown away, like bundles of rags, and were thrown out of the distance.

In addition, there were a few little devils who were a little far away and were knocked to the ground, and these little devils who fell to the ground were two or three people bleeding from the seven orifices, and obviously they couldn't survive. It took more than ten seconds for the explosion to get up before a little devil could get up.

The little devil who struggled to get up shook off the dirt on his head, and looked miserably at the rest of the little devils next to him who were already unresponsive, his eyes were dull, and he seemed to be frightened stupidly.

The shelling was very intense and intensive. Not far away, a devil lieutenant led a few little devils to retreat along a dilapidated trench, with a cat waist and fear.

There was another loud "boom", and a shell exploded not far away, blowing up the dirt in the sky, almost covering this section of the trench, and the devil second lieutenant in the trench was almost buried by the mud.

After the explosion, the devil lieutenant struggled to get up and spit out the dirt in his mouth, and found that several little devils who had retreated with him had been killed by the explosion, and when he saw that several more people had died, the devil lieutenant's eyes were full of despair.

"Boom!"

This devil lieutenant was more unlucky, and another shell exploded violently next to the little devil lieutenant. The sheer force tore the devil lieutenant to shreds.

……

The commander of the 3rd Infantry Division, holding a telescope, watched the shelling with great interest. Seeing that the little devils who were about to withdraw from their positions suffered heavy casualties under their intensive and fierce shelling, the commander of the third division happily shouted: "Good, good, enjoyable!" ”

As the shelling was almost over, a colonel came over and reported loudly: "Division, the shelling is about to end, please instruct." ”

Reluctantly put down his binoculars. The commander of the third division waved his hand and said: "After the shelling is over, the signal flares will be fired immediately, and the whole division will charge collectively and enter the city." Destroy the little devils. ”

"Yes!"

The shelling soon ended, several dazzling flares rose into the sky, and the fighters, who had long been unable to hold back, shouted and let out an earth-shattering cry. With his own weapon. Led by chariots, they rushed to Songjiang Mansion from all directions.

In the city, the little devils independently mixed into the headquarters of the 3rd Brigade.

Hearing that the shelling outside gradually stopped, the little devil officers at all levels in the entire command headquarters did not relax in the slightest, and these devil officers knew that the large-scale offensive of the new 6th Army would definitely begin.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for a devil officer to stumble in. "Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, only two or three hundred of the warriors on our outlying positions have withdrawn into the city. Now, the new 6th Army, at least 10,000 men, led by a large number of chariots, is attacking us from all sides. ”

Hearing this, the devil officers who are not good have changed color one after another, tens of thousands of people, a large number of chariots and other words strongly impact these devil officers, many people think in their hearts, what kind of opponent they have encountered!

The commander of the Devil Major General Brigade also changed his face, and said eagerly: "There are tens of thousands of people in the new 6th Army that attacked us? That's impossible. ”

"Your Excellency the brigade commander, there are indeed tens of thousands of people, and all sides outside the city are full of soldiers of the newly formed 6th Army, and it won't be long before the entire Songjiang Mansion is surrounded on all sides." The devil officer who reported lowered his head and said weakly.

Hearing such an affirmative report, the Devil Brigade felt powerless and almost sat on the ground.

****

The western suburbs of Shanghai, the area of Shenjiaqiao.

In fact, from today onwards, there will be battles everywhere in the entire western suburbs of Shanghai, and the battle in the Shenjiaqiao area is only part of it.

At this time, an infantry battalion of the 4th Infantry Division was engaged in a fierce battle with an infantry brigade of the little devils, and there were also some tanks fighting with this infantry battalion, about a tank company, a total of 11 M4 Sherman tanks.

Most of the armored divisions, mechanized infantry divisions, and other units under the new 6th Army were dispersed, and companies and battalions were used as units to cooperate with the infantry divisions.

"Boom, boom, boom"

Bursts of intensive artillery bombardment sounded one after another, and dense explosions sounded on the other side of the Shenjia River, which was the soldiers of the third infantry battalion carrying out intensive artillery bombardment on the Japanese puppet army on the opposite bank.

The number of the three battalions is nearly 1,000, and it is naturally a 3+1 formation, consisting of three infantry companies and a machine gun company. The Gun Company provided support fire to the battalion with 8 30-inch heavy machine guns and 3 50-inch heavy machine guns, as well as 6 81mm mortars.

Similarly, each subordinate infantry company is also a 3+1 establishment, each infantry company has 3 infantry platoons and 1 machine gun platoon, with a total of 193 people. The gun platoon has 2 Point 30 machine guns, 3 60 mortars and 1 Point 50 heavy machine gun.

In order to deal a heavy blow to the enemy on the other side, the commander of the third battalion ordered all his mortars to start intensive shelling of the little devil first, and as for whether the infantry brigade of the little devil also had weapons such as mortars or infantry guns, the commander of the third battalion directly ignored it.

The entire three battalions, 6 81-mm mortars, in addition, the number of 60-mm mortars reached 9, a total of 15 mortars carried out intensive shelling of the enemy on the opposite bank.

The 11 Sherman tanks of the tank regiment also drove up directly, lined up, with the black tank muzzles facing the opposite bank, about two or three hundred meters away from the little devils on the opposite bank.

The Shenjia River is no more than ten meters wide, the water depth is about one meter, and the water flow is very slow.

Across the river.

The little devils built a lot of fortifications, there were a lot of trenches, there were a lot of sandbags, and a large number of machine guns were erected.

The leader of the devil Shaozuo Brigade, disgraced, spit out the mud and sand in his mouth, and said angrily: "What about our mortar, also give me a hard beat, quickly drip!" ”

Seeing that the captain of his own brigade shouted, a devil second lieutenant, risking being shelled, hurriedly ran backwards and ordered the devil artillery to open fire, this group of little devils was equipped with 4 60mm mortars.

"Boom, boom, boom"

The artillery bombardment of the soldiers on the opposite side continued and intensified, and the entire other bank of the river was filled with gunsmoke, mud was flying, and many little devils were directly blown away.

An explosion sounded, and a shell exploded in a circular fortification built by sandbags of the little devils, and suddenly, several little devils in the fortifications were blown away, and a crooked machine gun was also blown away, flying far away.

Several explosions sounded, several shells rang out next to a trench, and it seemed that another shell fell in the trench, and suddenly, the dirt splashed, and the little devils in the trench were full of mud, and several people were killed, at least a dozen were injured.

The shell that fell in the trench and exploded sounded with a "boom", blowing away several little devils, and even a few Type 38 rifles were blown away, flying out more than ten meters away with the soil.

The explosions made the captain of the devil Shaozuo almost vomit blood, because every explosion represented the casualties of the little devil.

"Baga, where is our mortar, hurry up and shoot back, hurry!"

Seeing that his captain roared, a devil officer hurriedly ran towards the rear of the position, urging the devil artillery there to quickly fire back.

Finally, the four 60mm mortars of the little devil were ready, and the little devils were ready to open fire, and the second lieutenant of the devil held his command knife high and shouted loudly.

"Kill to !!"

The little devils finally opened fire, aiming at several mortars of the third battalion on the other side of the river, preparing to destroy these mortars that were relatively close to them and completely within range.
