Chapter 161: Counterattack on Shanghai

"The next time the little devil attacks, I'll try it for you......," Wei Qidong said. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Okay, good, good ......" Several machine gunners rubbed their hands excitedly, they were waiting for this sentence, they had learned how to operate it from watching just now.

On the Chinese side, the Chinese army was not at all excited about repelling the Japanese attack, but was more interested in the M134 rapid-fire machine gun.

On the other hand, on the side of the Japanese army, Takahashi Yanichi hung his head, and the more than 600 people sent out just now were all from his brigade, but as a result, none of them came back. Coupled with the losses during the day, the thousands of people in the Takahashi Brigade have almost been scrapped, and he has become the commander of the light pole.

And Matsuyama Yoshimasa's face was even more ugly, after only one day of fighting, one of his brigades was scrapped, how many people were there in a wing? Playing like this, you can play a wing in a few days, and no one can afford to hurt anyone.

"Dig tunnels, dig tunnels, if you can't do it on the ground, just from the ground, I must tear this bastard Wei Qidong to pieces......" Matsuyama Yoshimasa roared.

Actual combat has proved that whether it is to send armor, artillery, or night attacks, it is difficult to take down the Sixing warehouse with strong defense and firepower, and the means that can be used on the ground are obviously not feasible. As soon as Matsuyama Yoshimasa proposed this tactic, it was immediately appreciated and began to be implemented.

Anyway, there were a lot of people, and the Japanese army simply started in three directions together, digging tunnels from three directions at the same time to lead to the Sixing warehouse, because they knew that the action would definitely not be able to hide from the Chinese army, so the Japanese army was too lazy to hide it, and directly began to dig the tunnels generously.

The Japanese army transferred a lot of excavators, muck trucks and other construction equipment, and then they were ready to start construction. However, in the choice of location, it was difficult for the Japanese army, the four rows of warehouses obviously had artillery, if they were too close to each other and had not yet started, I am afraid that they would be blown up directly into the sky.

......In the end, Matsuyama Yoshimasa made this decision, because if he wanted to start construction during the day, he would have to choose a place where the cannon could not hit him to start construction, which would be too far, and the workload would not know how many times it had increased.

That night, the Japanese army chose a position about 800 meters away from the Sihang Warehouse to prepare for construction, and at the same time dug three tunnels from three directions to the Sihang Warehouse. In order to block the view in the direction of the Sihang warehouse, the Japanese army brought a large number of various obstacles and piled them up at a distance between their construction site and the Sihang warehouse.

Even the Japanese army guarded the Chinese people along the Suzhou Creek, and a high obstacle was placed along the Suzhou Creek to block the view. It seems that in order to smooth the construction, the Japanese army also put a lot of thought into it.

However, even so, it is not possible to guarantee the absolute safety of the entire construction process, although the location of the Japanese construction can not be seen, but it does not prevent Wei Qidong's shelling, anyway, there are many shells, indiscriminate bombing, even if it is a daze, it will give the Japanese army a headache. In short, the Japanese army cannot be allowed to be safe and secure.

"Boom, boom, boom, boom......" The rear of the obstacle exploded one after another, and the Japanese troops who were working on it were also frightened.

Considering the power of the artillery, the Japanese had to extend a little deeper into the ground to prevent the shells from collapsing directly, which would be tragic.

With a "boom", a shell fell directly to the side of an excavator, and the unlucky excavator was overturned on the spot, and the driver saw that it was no longer alive, and the excavator could not be used. However, this did not stop the Japanese from moving, and the scrapped excavator was quickly towed away, and an excavator was immediately replaced to continue construction.

In this way, the Japanese army stubbornly started construction under the sound of artillery, and the underground tunnel was also extending in the direction of the Sixing warehouse according to their plan.

The battle of the Sixing warehouse gradually calmed down a lot because of the underground actions of the Japanese army, but at this moment, the situation in the whole Shanghai was rapidly tense, because the main force of the Chinese army that had withdrawn from Shanghai had quickly counterattacked.

This time, it was the turn of the Japanese to go on the defensive, and the Chinese army went on the offensive. First of all, the Chinese army divided nearly 400,000 troops into the area of Jiangsu and Jiaxing by two routes, preparing to besiege the two divisions of the Japanese Tenth Army, which had been heavily damaged by Wei Qidong some time ago. The other army of more than 200,000 troops was Chen Cheng's troops who returned to Shanghai. At the same time, Nanjing, under the mobilization of Chairman Chiang, was also vigorously providing all kinds of support to meet the various needs of the army.

It can be said that this sudden counteroffensive of the Chinese army was very unexpected by the Japanese army.

In the past, they were only the Japanese army to attack the Chinese army, but this large-scale battle, and the main force of the Chinese army had just withdrawn from Shanghai, and it was not easy to jump out of the encirclement.

However, after careful consideration, Matsui Ishine and his staff felt that it was normal again, and this time was different from the past. Because of Wei Qidong's blockade, the combined fleet did not dare to move casually, coupled with the destruction of the Shanghai airport, which directly abolished their Japanese army's sea and air superiority, but allowed the backward Chinese air force to show off its might.

With the reinforcements and sorties of Wei Qidong and Tang Xinyi, they first severely damaged the two units of the Tenth Army that were outflanked in a roundabout way, and then supported Chen Cheng's division in Shanghai, not to mention the 13th Division, and directly destroyed a heavy artillery brigade, which was equivalent to breaking a large part of the heavy firepower of the Japanese army on land at once. On the other hand, the Chinese army was suddenly supported by artillery that could equip several artillery regiments, and the deficit in the situation became very large.

Therefore, in such a reversal, the Chinese army has air superiority and troop superiority, and the Japanese army is basically isolated and helpless, even if the quality of individual soldiers is much worse, but the Chinese army is completely capable of fighting a frontal battle.

This time, the Chinese army did not give up the great rivers and mountains of the entire Northeast to the little devils in embarrassment, like the Northeast Army of the 918 Incident. Shanghai, how to lose it, how to get it back, this is what a Chinese man should do.

Although the order was changed from retreat to attack, the morale of the Chinese army did not suffer much, but was very high, because in the process of retreating, they also heard one good news after another from Shanghai.

Every good news was like a booster, so that the haze of retreat was eliminated little by little, and when the order for the counterattack was delivered, everyone cheered. They also wanted to retake Shanghai, and they wanted to achieve a brilliant victory like the troops who stayed behind to intercept, and they didn't want their war history to be recorded as a defeated army. As the saying goes, a soldier who does not want to be a general is not a good soldier, and an army that does not want to achieve victory is definitely not a good team.

"Counterattack Shanghai, drive the little devils into the sea......" The troops shouted the same slogan, and with high momentum, they fought back faster than retreating.
