On 11 November, the Nagoya Division of the 3rd Division and the Zentsuji Division of the 11th Division first launched an attack on the Chinese defenders.

They first carried out a large-scale artillery bombardment of the defensive positions of the entire Chinese defenders with heavy artillery and naval guns. Buildings in these areas were almost razed to the ground.

Then send infantry to follow behind the tanks and start the occupation of ruins by ruins. Strange to say, on the last defensive position of 30,000 Chinese troops.

The Chinese defenders in the other positions suffered heavy casualties, and very few Chinese soldiers survived the Chinese defenders' positions after the heavy Japanese artillery bombardment.

On the first day of the attack alone, the 30,000 Chinese defenders suffered more than 10,000 casualties, and almost all the five peripheral positions centered on Huaxing Industry were lost.

However, the strange thing is that although the Chinese army in several areas suffered heavy losses due to the shelling, the defensive stronghold with Huaxing industry as the main center still has a strong counterattack ability even if the buildings are destroyed.

In order to capture these Huaxing industries, the Japanese army has launched several attacks, even using aircraft, but they still have not taken this Huaxing industry.

Taking the area attacked by the Third Division as an example, whether it was Huaxing Automobile Dealership or Huaxing Warehouse, the attacking Japanese troops suffered huge casualties.

Because after almost every shelling. When the Japanese army thought that the Chinese troops on the opposite side, like the Chinese defenders elsewhere, had suffered heavy losses and could take the opportunity to occupy the positions of the Chinese troops.

The Japanese army, who had just landed on the part of Huaxing Industry, would suddenly be hit by a vengeful bullet from the countless buildings around it.

Soon the first wave of attacks was ruthlessly crushed under the sudden attack of the Chinese defenders. The Japanese 3rd Division, unwilling to accept defeat, again organized several attacks.

But every time the Japanese army thought that there should be no living people in the building opposite, countless Chinese soldiers could always be drilled out of those ruins to deal a great blow to the attacking Third Division.

In this way, from noon on the 11th until the evening, the exhausted Japanese troops suspended their attack. They were studying countermeasures to why the Chinese defenders on the opposite side could not be blown up, and why so many shells could not kill the defenders on the opposite side.

At this time, Yue Xiaofei, a major and regiment commander of the miscellaneous army who was forced to stay as cannon fodder in an underground air-raid shelter in the Huaxing car dealership, was smoking a cigarette with Yang Shuai, a regiment commander of the Huaxing escort team beside him, and had the first face-to-face communication between the two armies.

"How many waves of Japanese attacks have this been?" Yue Xiaofei took a puff of his cigarette with satisfaction and asked.

"It's the sixth wave, starting in the afternoon, basically an hour-long wave." Head Yang Shuai also took a puff of cigarette and said indifferently.

"I heard the name of your Hainan Guards a few months ago, but I didn't expect that I could finally fight side by side with you today, and I didn't expect that your Hainan Guards turned out to be pretended to be from the Huaxing Guards." Yue Xiaofei looked at Yang Shuai with interest.

"What's the surprise here? The Hainan Guards were originally supported by our Boss Li, if we weren't afraid that we would only receive reports on the name of our Huaxing Guards, after the Japanese army occupied Shanghai in the future, it would be detrimental to our Huaxing industry, and we wouldn't have to use the name of the Hainan Guards. However, no matter what military uniform you wear, you can fight devils. Yang Shuai explained.

Yue Xiaofei nodded approvingly: "Yes, that's a good thing, no matter whether it's the Central Army or the miscellaneous army, those who can fight devils are good soldiers." However, I found that the soldiers of your Huaxing Escort Team have a very high combat quality.

Not only are you familiar with the terrain here, and all of you have accurate marksmanship, but more importantly, your weapons are so advanced, why can your rifles fire in bursts?

Why are your grenades so powerful? A grenade can knock down a piece of the Japanese army, and the most exaggerated thing is that the cylinder you use to hit the Japanese tank is also very harmful, as long as you blow up the tank of the Japanese army to pieces, it feels much more harmful than the Japanese grenadier.

Since your Huaxing Escort Force has so many good weapons, why do you not take them out after three months of watching our hundreds of thousands of troops being bullied by the Japanese? Yue Xiaofei asked.

"These things are the old bottom of our Huaxing company, and they will not be used unless they are absolutely necessary, in addition, the cylinders you see that specialize in tanks are called bazookas, which are the fist products of our Huaxing laboratory.

The number of these bazookas is not very large, and there are only a few hundred members of our 5,000 Huaxing Escort Team, and almost every team of ten people is only one of them.

Therefore, because this thing is too small, it is impossible to give it to your hundreds of thousands of troops to use, and even if it is given to you, you will not use it, and it still does not play much role in the entire war situation.

Unlike now, bazookas are used in a small area, but they are handy. You have also seen that every time the Japanese army attacks, these secret weapons of our Huaxing Escort Force have made great contributions.

Besides, the grenade in the basement, I've left it open for you. You can't say that our Huaxing guards are breaking down the door, right? Head Yang Shuai said.

"How can it? We can survive, thanks to the help of your Huaxing Escort Team? But when it comes to this, I can't help but ask, did you Huaxing Company have long expected that there will be a day when the war will be launched?

Why are there such large ammunition depots and bomb shelters dug under all your Huaxing industries? I have just contacted the brother units defending the Huaxing Security Company and the Huaxing Club, and they all hid in bomb shelters to escape the Japanese shelling, and if it weren't for the help of these bomb shelters, we would not have been able to defeat the Japanese army so easily six times.

It is impossible to hit the Japanese army that captured it by surprise every time. Alas, it is a pity that there are too few such air-raid shelters, and if there were air-raid shelters of this scale in the whole of Shanghai, our 800,000-strong army would not have sacrificed 200,000 people in vain and had not yet held Shanghai. Yue Xiaofei said regretfully.

"It's beautiful to think about, and there are such bomb shelters all over Shanghai? Do you know how much manpower and material resources are needed to dig these bomb shelters?

That is to say, our boss Li has money and is willing to invest, but even so, with our Huaxing financial resources, we can dig so many large and so many air-raid shelters under all the Huaxing industries in Shanghai.

You know, not every lot is suitable for digging air-raid shelters, these industries have been tested by experts, you didn't find that these four Huaxing industries are centered on Huaxing supermarket, scattered in the four directions of Huaxing supermarket?

When we were sent here, we were ordered that once we could not hold the few Huaxing properties we guarded, we would all retreat to Huaxing Supermarket, which was our last stronghold.

Your regiment is lucky enough to be assigned to me, so I can save your life, and I want to save the rest of the troops, but that must be enough for our bomb shelters.

Originally, it was an air-raid shelter to hide a regiment of men and horses, but now it hides our two regiments, which is already the limit, and now that it is dark, the dark posts have been dispatched, maybe the Japanese army will carry out a night attack or something tonight.

While the enemy hasn't attacked yet, let's get some rest. The enemy will soon discover the secret of our bomb shelters, and the battle will only get more intense. After Yang Shuai finished speaking, he leaned against the corner of the air-raid shelter and closed his eyes to recuperate.

Yue Xiaofei really couldn't sleep, this was the first day, and they were ordered to hold out here for seven days. Through the small skylight of the air-raid shelter, Yue Xiaofei found that the night sky tonight was very beautiful, and the stars were twinkling and twinkling.

While Yue Xiaofei and Yang Shuai were still talking, the headquarters of the Japanese Third Division, where the headquarters of the Third Division of the Japanese Army was located, and Lieutenant General Fujita Jin, the commander of the Third Division, was furious at the four brigade commanders in front of him:

"One of our divisions has swept through more than 100,000 Chinese troops, and just this morning you reported to me that everything is going well, and that most of the more than 10,000 Chinese defenders have been annihilated by you.

But before evening, you told me that your 20,000-odd men could not take the positions defended by the defeat of the thousands of remnants of the troops on the opposite side. Do you think I'm a fool? ”

"Report to Your Excellency, it's not that our army doesn't work hard, it's that the enemy is too cunning, and the vanguard of our army's attack went smoothly, and it is true that a large number of Chinese troops who blocked us were killed, but when we attacked the two areas of Huaxing Warehouse and Huaxing Garage, we were met with stubborn resistance.

According to our analysis, when our heavy artillery bombarded their positions, they must have hidden in pre-dug anti-artillery holes to avoid artillery fire.

When we took their positions, they jumped out from all sides and intertwined with us in a scuffle.

Although our total strength was stronger than that of the Chinese army, each time we occupied their positions, the Chinese army counterattacked much more than our offensive force.

The Chinese army has always formed a situation in which more people fight less, and only then has our offensive been repeatedly frustrated. Major General Riichi Katayama, commander of the Fifth Brigade, said.

"Are our tanks and artillery just ornaments? Why don't you let the tanks attack with the infantry, why don't our artillery attack at close range?

I don't believe that with our powerful heavy weapons, we will not be able to defeat the Chinese defenders, who do not even have infantry guns. Lieutenant General Fujita said.

"Report to Your Excellency, the Chinese defenders do not have infantry artillery, but they do have a powerful anti-tank weapon.

From the soldiers who returned from the front, I learned that it was a round iron cylinder that could be fired when placed on the shoulder, and with just one piece, it could blow our tank to pieces.

We lost a dozen tanks in the first two attacks, all destroyed by this anti-tank weapon. And the information received from the 11th Division of the fraternal troops said that their offensive was not going well either.

They also suffered heavy losses in the attack on the two areas of the Huaxing Security Company and the Huaxing Club, where they were attacked not only by direct attacks by the iron cylinders, but also by pre-planted roadside explosive packs. Maj. Gen. Riichi Katayama explained.

"What? Mountain Treasure Zongwu, that guy's eleventh division also suffered heavy losses? They are also in the Huaxing industry area has been hit hard?

In this way, I feel much more comfortable, as long as he does not occupy Huaxing's property before us, and pursues the fleeing army to China first, we will not lose.

Now that we know that the Chinese defenders on the opposite side have a secret weapon that can destroy tanks, and even more so that the enemy has bomb shelters where they can hide, we must change the strategy of attacking.

I ordered, first, to immediately call in the air force to help in the battle, and drop incendiary bombs on the positions of Huaxing Industry opposite. Second, after the Air Force has dropped incendiary bombs, tonight we will organize death warriors to secretly infiltrate the positions of the Chinese army and kill them all with our skillful stabbing techniques. Lieutenant General Fujita ordered.

"Hey!" The brigade commanders responded in unison.
