"Up!" With Tao Xingchun's order, dozens of soldiers immediately rushed forward, and at Qiao Anbang's signal, two trucks loaded with anti-aircraft machine guns also roared forward and rushed forward, aiming to provide enough powerful machine gun fire cover for the infantry.

In Qiao Anbang's view, he will definitely expand his troops after returning to the base area in the future, and these nearly 300 veterans are all treasures, and in the future, they can be used as the backbone to become one or two infantry regiments, or even an infantry brigade.

Such veterans die one less than one, so Joan Bang would rather waste some ammunition in exchange for the lives of the soldiers. There is no shortage of weapons and ammunition for itself, the Longshan Arsenal in the Pheasant and Ji base has been put into production, not to mention Yali's multi-functional aircraft, as long as there are enough troops, Qiao Anbang can pull up a fairly large army in a very short time.

Getting back to the point, Tao Xingchun led a platoon to rush towards the devil post under the cover of two trucks, and soon the devils discovered their whereabouts, and a devil captain immediately hissed and roared: "Da da da...... Dadada......"

Immediately after that, more than a dozen devil soldiers opened fire one after another, "snapping...... Snap ......" The unique gunfire of the 38 rifle suddenly resounded in the night sky, and the devil's only crooked machine gun also roared.

As soon as the devil's gunfire rang out, the two anti-aircraft machine guns on [***] side were not to be outdone, and immediately began to return fire, "suddenly...... Sudden Sudden Burst"

As soon as the two anti-aircraft machine guns opened fire, the sound of the devil's guns was immediately suppressed, and the dense bullets whistled and flew towards the devil's fortifications, the improvised fortifications formed by the devils were splashed everywhere by the extremely powerful anti-aircraft machine gun bullets, and several devil soldiers who could not dodge were pierced through their bodies or heads by the extremely powerful anti-aircraft machine gun bullets on the spot, and died tragically on the spot.

The remaining devils were suppressed in the fortifications and could not raise their heads at all.

"Baga Yalu, how can the firepower of the people of China be so strong?!" The devil Wu Chang was horrified in his heart, and couldn't help but scold angrily.

Seeing that the opportunity could not be missed, Tao Xingchun immediately led dozens of soldiers to rush forward, seeing that it was approaching, the three soldiers who rushed to the front suddenly took off a grenade from their bodies, quickly opened the safety and then threw it towards the devil's fortifications.

"Boom~Boom!" Several explosions sounded one after another, and the ghost soldiers who were suppressed in the fortifications were suddenly killed and wounded.

When Tao Xingchun led people to rush into the devil's fortifications, there were still two dying devil wounded soldiers left, without the slightest hesitation, Tao Xingchun raised the submachine gun in his hand and shot at the two devil wounded soldiers, and the two devil wounded soldiers were sent to see their Amaterasu.

After solving these dozen devils, Qiao Anbang led the team to continue to advance to downtown Shanghai

At the same time, the Central China Dispatch Corps Headquarters was called.

Commander Matsui Ishone's fainting caused the entire headquarters to fall into a panic, and the chief of staff, Tsukada Tsukasaki, hurriedly called a military medical officer for emergency treatment.

About half an hour later, after the desperate rescue of the military medical officer, Matsui Ishone, who had been unconscious, finally woke up.

Seeing Matsui Shigen open his eyes, Tsukada hurriedly stepped forward and said with concern: "Your Excellency General, are you okay?" ”

Matsui Ishine looked at Tsukada very weakly and asked, "Tsukada-kun, how is the situation outside now?" ”

Tsukada's face darkened, and he bowed his head and said: "Since we are unable to suppress the artillery fire of the Chinese people, in the frontal battlefield, the main force of the Chinese army has broken through the first line of defense of the imperial army, and is currently storming our second line of defense. The lowly post has already rushed to the last two infantry brigades to block! ”

When Matsui Ishine heard all the bad news, he couldn't help but start coughing violently in anger, and said weakly, "Is it dawn?" Ask for help from the Navy's Third Fleet and ask them to send sea-based aviation to support us! ”

"Hai, please rest assured that Your Excellency the General will arrange it immediately!" Tsukada bowed his head in response, and then took a step forward and persuaded: "General, the situation in Shanghai is critical now, and our main divisions will not be able to arrive in a short time, so I suggest that you withdraw to the ships of the naval fleet, which can not only ensure your safety, but also not delay your command of the overall situation." ”

Matsui pondered for a moment, then nodded slightly. At his age, he no longer had the courage to commit suicide by seppuku at every turn to serve the emperor.

He was thinking more about how to save his surname and his previous military exploits, although he Matsui Shigen had an unshirkable responsibility for the death of Hatohiko of Asakamiya, but as long as he could reunite and annihilate the tiger Ben with the city of Shanghai, and the culprit Qiao Anbang was broken into pieces, then the emperor and the base camp would not do anything to him.

No matter how bad it is, he can turn into a reserve to spend his old age in peace, Shanghai is very important to Yumoto, but in Matsui Shigen's eyes, it is definitely not as important as his own surname, so no matter what, he will never make any moves to resist to the death.

Because this is Shanghai, a Chinese city, not Tokyo

In the southwest of Minhang Town, the two brigades of Qiao Anbang and the army encountered in this area, and then launched a fierce battle, although the equipment of Qiao Anbang was advanced, but the devil had an absolute advantage in strength, and occupied a favorable terrain, relying on the building to resist desperately, the fierce battle between the two sides fell into a stalemate for a while.

In a remote alley in Zhabei, several black shadows flashed suddenly and quickly entered the alley.

"How's it going?" One of the men at the head lowered his voice and asked the other three.

"Head, the news is right, it's [***] that has come back, and it's also the Tiger Brigade that has just been expanded by the National Political Axe!" One of the three men in a patrol suit nodded in reply.

"Tiger Brigade?" The man at the head was very surprised.

"It's the tiger group that was renamed and adapted by Chairman Jiang himself some time ago." The patrol man hurriedly explained.

"Oh?! Not long ago, Wuxi and Suzhou were recovered one after another, and the commander of the Shanghai Dispatch Army, Hatohiko Chaoxiang, was separated into a group of corpses? The man at the head continued.

"That's right! That's them. The patrol man nodded again. Hey, this Tiger Brigade is really fucking kind! One brigade dares to counterattack Shanghai! Another young man next to the patrol man interjected.

"You know a fart, this Tiger Brigade was born from the first battle of Ma'anshan, how can it be said that it can achieve such impressive results one after another? Without a diamond, he Qiao Anbang dared to stop this porcelain work? The man at the head reprimanded in a deep voice, and then said: "But then again, this tiger brigade is really a species, if nothing else, just with a few thousand men and horses, he dares to counterattack Shanghai, which is heavily defended by himself, and when there is a chance, Lao Tzu will also meet them." Especially their brigade commander Qiao Anbang, I want to see what kind of person this person is, who can make such a mess of the devil's army of hundreds of thousands with a few thousand people. ”

"yes, I've also heard that one of our troops has now infiltrated Shanghai." Patrol the man's road.

"Most of them are also small units of the Tiger Brigade, and they want to disrupt the deployment of the devils, so as to cooperate with the main force to capture Shanghai in one fell swoop." The man at the head pondered for a while, and said in a deep voice: "We can't be idle, inform the brothers, immediately mobilize all of them, and attack the devils as much as possible to support the Tiger Brigade to attack Shanghai!" ”

"Yes!" The patrol man and the others immediately bowed their heads and responded.

"Go ahead! All pay attention to safety. The man at the head waved his hand. The subordinates retired. The three men on patrol said goodbye, and then turned and left, and soon disappeared into the criss-crossing streets and alleys.

After seeing the three of them leave, a cold light flashed in the man's eyes: "Qiao Anbang, this person is not simple." ”

The sky had just brightened, and the fierce battle between Qiao Anbang's headquarters and the devils in the area of Minhang Town was still continuing, and from time to time in the downtown area of Shanghai could be seen in groups of devil soldiers passing back and forth in a panic.

Occasionally, a few trucks pulled a large group of wounded devil soldiers from the front line along the streets, and the gunfire rang out again in Shanghai, and most of the ordinary citizens who did not know the truth hid in their homes and did not dare to go out.

Therefore, except for the soldiers who shuttle back and forth on the street, it is rare to see pedestrians.

Occasionally, some peddlers and pawns looked at the passing military vehicles and soldiers, and their eyes all revealed the slightest fierceness, and suddenly a ghost soldier drove a side three-wheeled car from a distance, and in the side fight of the motorcycle three-wheeled lay an injured devil soldier, the ghost soldier was covered in blood, and it seemed that the injury was not light.

The ghost soldier who was driving looked panicked, as if he wanted to quickly send his comrades to treatment.

The two peddlers on the side of the road quietly glanced at each other, and then touched their hands into their arms at the same time, and when the ghost soldier drove by on a motorcycle, the two of them took out a mirror box at the same time and pointed it at the ghost soldier "snap...... Bang Bang ......" fired again and again.

After a burst of gunshots, the ghost soldier who was driving the motorcycle with several bullets immediately rolled over and fell out of the car, and the motorcycle that lost control crashed into a building, with a loud bang, the devil wounded soldier in the car body was thrown far away, and the two peddler pawns did not hesitate, strode forward, and pulled the trigger on the dying devil wounded soldier again in succession.

In the following period, the entire urban area of Shanghai was almost a mess, and from time to time ghost soldiers and military vehicles that had dropped orders were attacked by unknown people, and some small warehouses and strongholds with weak defenses were also attacked by unknown armed men.

These unknown armed forces wantonly attacked the soldiers in Shanghai and did everything possible to destroy the temporary hospitals and checkpoints of the devils' strongholds, and for a time the entire Shanghai beach was shrouded in the flames of war.

The army, which was already very short of troops, was overwhelmed by these sudden attacks

"Your Excellency General, we have to make a choice, a large number of unidentified Chinese armed personnel suddenly appeared in the city, they frantically attacked the imperial army, causing very serious trouble and losses to the imperial army, and now the frontline position is already in danger, we really can't allocate extra troops to clear out these sneak attack of the Chinese people." A chief of staff of the Osa level devil attacked Tsukada with a solemn expression.

"Haoye-kun, what do you think we should do now?" Tsukada asked rhetorically.

"I think that I will take the initiative to give up the all-round defense, retreat the imperial army to the original Marine Corps garrison such as Huishan Wharf, and rely on the powerful naval artillery firepower of the naval fleet to wait for reinforcements, waiting for reinforcements to arrive!" The devil Dazuo replied with a bowed head.
