Chapter 206 Shanghai 3

Nanjing is not as good as the Northeast, and Chairman Chiang is not Zhang Shaoshuai. If Jiang Li is also like the commander, the family drags his family and leads the family, and he will die if he disobeys the military order, and he will continue to suffer his family, I am afraid that Jiang Li will have to think twice and procrastinate. Jiang Li is from later generations, but this commander has the limitations of this era, and still abides by the duty of a soldier to obey orders! However, these soldiers under the bombardment of Japanese naval guns and planes did not know that they had been abandoned by their own commander, and the commander who had always had his nostrils facing the sky had thrown his troops and fled with a soft fear!

Having a commander like Deng Zhenquan is the misfortune of the defenders, the only consolation is that compared with the previous procrastination of Nanjing, this time the reaction was surprisingly fast, after the 19th Route Army headquarters reacted to Deng Zhenquan's escape, Nanjing immediately appointed Tan Qixiu as the commander of the Wusong fortress temporarily, and was fully responsible for commanding the Wusong war. Tan Qixiu immediately called the fortress artillery command post and ordered it to fight back against the shelling of the Japanese ships with all its might.

The commander who received the order to counterattack and all the defenders of the fortress artillery wept with joy. All the artillery rushed out of the bunker at the first time under the indiscriminate bombardment of the Japanese army.

Rumble! The huge explosion sounded, and another fortress cannon was lifted into the air, and more than a dozen artillerymen next to them were killed. But these soldiers were fearless, and no one flinched in the face of death that could come at any moment. The soldiers loaded the shells as fast as they could, and they rushed to the Japanese army to see that the Japanese ship hit the fortress cannon first. Or the shells of the plugged artillery will tear apart those steel fortresses on the river.

"Fire!" The commander's voice was more sonorous than that of the Japanese guns.

The muzzle of the cannon spat tongues of fire. Blazing shells whistled and smashed into the Japanese ships on the river.

Rumble. Rumble! When it missed, the shell fell into the river and exploded a splash of several meters, more than ten meters, and the water spilled down from the air, as if it were raining. Although it didn't hit, but at this time, the Japanese soldiers on the warship also had some throbbing in their hearts, and from now on. They are no longer the watchmen who sit back and relax, and the shells of the other side can tear through the steel bodies of these warships. The Japanese sailors who participated in the Russo-Japanese naval battle have all been promoted to officers, and most of the destroyers and light cruisers on the river are also soldiers who have not experienced actual combat. Even if they were shrouded in the glory of the emperor, some Japanese artillerymen still couldn't help but feel a little scared, but under the shouting and scolding of the officers, they quickly put out this fear in shame, and now what they had to do was to aim and load the shells. Destroy the Shina army in front of you. The smoke of gunpowder was thick near the fortress cannons, and the water column on the river surface was also full of rolling water.

Rumble! A tooth-sore voice shook the hearts of all Japanese soldiers.

"Hit. Hit! The officers and men of the fortress artillery cheered. In sight, the hull of a Japanese ship began to tilt to a certain angle, but it was disappointing that the Japanese ship was not sunk, but slowly withdrew from the battle sequence with its wounded body in tow. The remaining dozen or so Japanese ships were still doing their best to destroy the defensive firepower of Wusong Fortress.

Rumble....

Another ship was shot, but the steel-made ship was not sunk so easily, only the artillery on it was baptized. At the same time, the fortress guns on the shore were also destroyed by the Japanese three times in succession.

The commander of the "Kai" only shouted one word, and all that remained in his original position was a rising fire, and half of the bloody calf that had been thrown from the air.

"Tuanza!"

"Tuanza!"

The joys and sorrows all around rang out.

"Fight with these dogs and avenge the group!"

"Revenge for the group!" The artillerymen roared in grief. At this time, the fortress artillery had been suppressed by the Japanese army, but not a single soldier retreated at this time. We did our best to kill the Japanese ships as much as possible.

The dull crashing sound came and went. Weng Zhaoyuan was not idle here, taking advantage of the fact that the Japanese ship was pinned down by the fortress guns, Weng Zhaoyuan showed the only anti-aircraft gun, which was a cannonball against the unscrupulous group of aircraft in the sky. This anti-aircraft gun was sent by Commander Zhang Zhizhong of the 5th Central Army. Although the 19th Route Army had several divisions, it did not have anti-aircraft fire. Therefore, this anti-aircraft gun, the only anti-aircraft gun that could threaten the Japanese army, was even more precious to Weng Zhaoyuan.

Rumble! A brilliant spark lit up in the air, even though these soldiers did not have strict air defense training, let alone count the amount of advance, but there were more than 20 planes in the sky, and the blind cat always hit the dead mouse sometimes. One plane was blown up.

While the Japanese pilots were furious, the battle on the ground also entered a white-hot stage. The Japanese battalion pounced on the defenders' positions with the help of aircraft and artillery platoons.

"Don't fight indiscriminately, bring the Japanese army closer." The situation of the battle is urgent, Weng Zhaoyuan is on the front line, the 156 Brigade is not as good as the Japanese army, and the firepower of the divisional artillery regiment has to be maintained in other places, and now the firepower in Weng Zhaoyuan's hands is only six mortars and less than 1,000 shells sent by Yan Xishan, in addition to a small number of mortars in the brigade. There are too few hole cards, so naturally you can't fight with the Japanese army.

Tom .......... soldiers of a battalion endured the bombardment of the Japanese army's small steel, and one by one lay on the ground, their heads and bodies covered with a fine layer of mud and sand.

When the Japanese brigade approached and entered the most effective range that Weng Zhaoyuan believed, the hidden mortars scattered dozens of shells, and the Japanese troops in sight fell to pieces. The sound of gunfire like bang-bang fried beans knocked back the swarming Japanese troops. Several soldiers climbed out of the trench under the cover of their comrades, crawling forward close to the ground, collecting guns, ammunition, grenades and other things on the ground.

Da Da Da ...... How the heavy machine guns of the Japanese troops on the opposite side would allow the enemy's ideas to succeed. The roaring bullets killed two people instantly, and one man was shot in the thigh, carrying several guns on his back, and a large number of bullets crawled back with difficulty. A trail of blood dragged out of his thigh on the dirt floor. One step, two steps, getting closer and closer to your own trenches, but the distance of a few meters is only a blink of an eye in normal times, but at this time it seems to be separated by miles.

"Artillery, retreat!" Weng Zhaoyuan watched this scene with a hard heart, and gave this order while the Japanese army retreated. The artillery support of the 156th Brigade was too different from that of the Japanese army, Weng Zhaoyuan had to make careful calculations, in order to use the precious ammunition as much as possible and not waste it, he only let the soldiers risk their lives to put the Japanese army at a very close distance before fighting, and the soldiers in front of him who went to pick up the guns and ammunition of the Japanese army were also helpless, even if there were more casualties, the war of resistance must continue.
