I have to say that if the three battalions where Su Dao is located are compared with firepower, it is estimated that in addition to being inferior to the divisions of the Ninth Army and the Tax Police Corps, other domestic divisions really dare not compete with Su Daoshan in terms of firepower.

Machine guns in this era are absolute treasures, and even the Ninth Army has not been able to match machine guns into squad combat units.

"Company Commander Liu, change the equipment, the number of machine guns in each company is concentrated in half of the squads, that is to say, eight of the 16 squads in each company are equipped with two machine guns, these eight soldiers are temporarily equipped with the rifles used before, and the rest of the soldiers are all replaced with new rifles." After thinking about it carefully, it seems that the equipment needs to be adjusted.

So, Su Dao made a bold decision to equip one squad with two machine guns to cover fire during wartime, while the other squads were equipped with powerful M1 Garand rifles, so that when charging, even if the machine gun could not cover the place, at least with the Garand rifle alone, it would not lag behind the opponent too much in terms of firepower.

"Battalion commander, isn't this okay? It is easy to cause a serious shortage of firepower in individual classes, while individual classes have excess firepower. Liu Sanpao was stunned, not long after he started distributing equipment, Su Dao changed his mind, in Liu Sanpao's opinion, Su Dao's performance seemed to be less and less like a person who understood military affairs.

"Just do what I say." Su Dao glanced at Liu Sanpao angrily, did he want Su Dao to tell him directly, if this arrangement was made, a platoon could be a company envoy? Obviously, Su Dao still wanted them to figure out all this through actual combat.

Now Su Dao is the master of the entire three battalions, everyone has to listen to him, there is no way, who let this weapon be brought by someone? In accordance with Su Dao's instructions, Liu Sanpao began to gradually redistribute weapons, and those that had already been issued were given to their platoon commanders to change them by themselves, and the surplus guns were handed over to the platoon that had not yet been issued with weapons.

After nearly an hour of busy work, all the weapons were finally distributed, and in the end, only more than 100 Zhongguan and Hanyang-made were left there and no one used them. No matter how good it is, it is still a gun, and after ordering people to carry the remaining more than 100 rifles, Su Dao led the troops to return to Hongqiao.

'Boom! ’

A loud noise suddenly came, Su Dao was stunned suddenly, and then the secret path was not good, and he hurriedly led the troops to move forward in concealment, it seemed that the landing force of the army had arrived in Shanghai.

"Report to the barracks, it is said that this warship is firing guns, and the number of warships is not much, only two." A soldier quickly ran to Su Dao's side and reported.

Most of the warships are of large tonnage, and if they were at sea, they could hit the current position of Su Dao, but it was obvious that the well-trained Yuben Navy would never be able to waste shells like this, and the soldiers only saw two warships, so it was very likely that the corvettes of the Yuran army were heading up the Huangpu River and firing artillery all the way towards Shanghai, intending to disrupt the defense of the Shanghai defenders, so as to provide cover for the landing of a large army.

"Go straight to Luodian." No longer thinking about it at the moment, Su Dao directly ordered the troops to drive to Luodian.

If the troops were to return to Hongqiao at this time, I am afraid that the 163rd Regiment would have left after the troops arrived, and the arrival time of the army seemed to be much earlier than they expected.

'Boom! ’

Along the way, there was a roar of artillery fire everywhere, and the three battalions of Su Dao rushed all the way to Luodian, and in the streets of Shanghai, the crowd surged, and many people wanted to leave Shanghai as soon as possible. If this really fights, these refugees will definitely suffer.

But now Su Dao can only see it, he can't do anything, and he doesn't have the ability to do anything. The only way to get to Luodian quickly and keep the landing force there out of Luodian is otherwise, once Luodian is lost, the Yue army can take advantage of the situation, thus cutting off the retreat of the Shanghai defenders in one fell swoop.

I wouldn't let you go to the rear just because you weren't in the army, and civilians were the same enemy in war, at least in the eyes of the army. Moreover, the brutality of the army seems to be even more ferocious than imagined.

Suddenly, there was a large-scale stirring among the refugee crowd, and the mood of the refugees seemed to be a little excited, and one after another trampling occurred, and many old people and children were trampled under the feet of the refugees who came after them in the huge refugee wave, as if there was some kind of flood behind them.

"Run, I'm here." Suddenly, someone in the refugee crowd shouted, and it was this cry that caused even greater panic in the refugee stream.

'Smack! A crisp gunshot immediately came into everyone's ears, and the refugees, who were already frightened, became even more panicked, and one by one they were racing against time to get out of here as soon as possible.

"Run, there are our troops in front, run behind them and be safe." At this time, the sharp-eyed refugees had already seen the three battalions that were running rapidly at this time, and after shouting, all the refugees were running towards the place where the three battalions were located, as if in their opinion, as long as they hid in the rear of the army, it was safe. Indeed, at least in the early years of the Anti-Japanese War, the people in China still trusted the army, and only killed not as they did a few years later.

People who have a firm heart, have a patriotic feeling, and would rather die than be a slave to the country, after seeing him, the first thing is to run, but he really can't run, or he is caught by the army, so he would rather die than live. Some people who are uncertain and just want to survive have become obedient people who say that they will do whatever they want, and they will not resist at all.

The tickling here had already attracted Su Dao's attention, but Su Dao didn't expect that the army would chase civilians to fight? And unarmed refugees. For a while, the anger in Su Dao's heart was even more spontaneous, and he couldn't wait to dismantle the army behind him.

"The first company, deploy on the spot to cover the retreat of the people, the second company controls the commanding heights, pay attention to the devil's mortars and grenadiers, after the third company, let's wrap a big dumpling for the devil, and the fourth company is on standby." The furious Su Dao didn't care about his own orders, at this moment in Su Dao's opinion, it was the same to fight devils wherever he wanted, to fight here to cover the retreat of the people, and to fight in Luodian to prevent the army from cutting off the retreat of the Shanghai defenders, and his surname was the same.

At the moment, he no longer cares about changing orders or the like, and directly orders the troops to be deployed on the spot, at least to cover the retreat of these refugees first, and then go to carry out the order after the refugees are all withdrawn, and then carry out the order, anyway, there are so many troops stationed in Luodian, and there will be nothing to do for a while with a battalion less than them.

When they saw that there were troops in front of them, and a machine gun was put out and aimed at the refugees, the refugees were stunned at first, and then rushed to the three battalions even more frantically. Yes, the streets are only so narrow, since the third battalion is going to be deployed, it is natural to arrange the weapons or something, and the soldiers must also enter the combat state, otherwise when the army comes, they will be going to set up their guns, but it will be so late that the daylily will be cold.

The refugees saw that the troops in front were just fiddling with their equipment, loading machine guns and rifles, and the soldiers were staring at the front one by one, as if they would hit them hard as soon as the army appeared.

Soon, the flow of refugees rushed to the front of the three battalions, because of the deployment of troops, the originally narrow streets were occupied by the three battalions, and the speed of the refugees was also slow, but at this time, the refugees who had passed through the defense line seemed to be no longer panicking, and the pace of progress had slowed down, yes, they were just civilians, and they needed to rest after running for a long time.

"Get out of here, there's going to be a war soon." Seeing this, Su Dao hurriedly shouted loudly, the refugees in front felt that they were safe, so they naturally had to slow down the speed of their feet, but the refugees behind were still in danger, so they naturally had to rush forward desperately, the front was slow, the back was fast, maybe a minute or two was nothing, but a long time would inevitably cause unnecessary casualties.

Sure enough, after Su Dao shouted, the refugees who ran in front had to raise their strength again and continue to run forward quickly, as the saying goes, guns have no eyes, even if there are troops in the way, they are so close to the troops, it is inevitable that there will be any accidents. At this time, many people had an idea in their hearts, that is, to run to Nanjing.

Nanjing, as the capital of the Republic of China, is naturally much stronger in the garrison, and it is much safer to stay in Nanjing. At least there is no need to worry about the threat of the army's naval guns, many of the refugees in this group have seen the power of the army's guns, and a large crater of nearly half a meter will appear on the ground when the cannon goes down.

It's just that they don't know that what they saw just now is just a corvette, and the real naval guns are far more powerful than they imagined, and that's not what they can afford at all.

About half an hour later, the tide of refugees was still ongoing, but the soldiers of the third battalion still could not see the shadow of the army, many people heard that there were troops here, so they ran in groups in the direction where the third battalion was located, which also led to a sharp increase in the number of refugees behind the third battalion.

"Camp, see clearly, there are more than a dozen people in the back, and the distance from the refugees is a little far, just hide behind and put cold guns." At this time, the second company, which was ambushing at the commanding heights, reported to Su Dao.

"Damn, more than a dozen people dare to run after so many refugees, they are really bold, and they beat them out for me in the second company." The more I thought about Su Dao, the more I was angry, even if so many refugees turned their heads and ran towards Yue Jun, even if they stepped on it, they could step on Yue himself, how could they let a squad of Yue himself chase and fight? Su Dao really didn't understand, but this didn't affect Su Dao's desire to kill the army of this class.

ps: Ask for recommendations, ask for collections, all kinds of requests, I haven't asked for a few days, and the data is obviously not powerful.
