Chapter 922: The Great Attack (4)

"Wehrmacht, kill!!" Angry shouts resounded on the fourth position, and the Imperial Alliance troops who were desperately supporting on the fifth position finally breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as the Wehrmacht kills them, they are saved. Therefore, many people are desperately stuck in their own positions in order to fight for this line of life.

And the tiger moth in the sky has also been ordered not to smash down the "Gong" heavy rocket booster bomb. Otherwise, there would be no resistance to the fifth line.

But apparently, the Air Force also took into account that the cost of the "mace" was too high, and since the ground forces could take it down at a very small cost, then let's fight.

"Red deer! Kill these dolphins!! The remaining wing captain Hosoya Jing almost scolded, he had always thought that these imperial troops could only be used as cannon fodder.

It only makes sense for them all to die in front of the Wehrmacht positions. Unfortunately, his suggestion was not accepted by the brigade commander. The arrangement of Commander Shunroku Hata was to let these people replace the role of part of the Japanese army in the fortifications.

At the beginning, under the strict surveillance of the Japanese army, these imperial allegorical troops did not dare to make a mistake. But now the Japanese army has lost its superiority first, and secondly, there are few surveillance troops left, and there is no threat from rear artillery.

This made these imperial allies see an opportunity, and they chose to oppose the water without hesitation.

"I've said a long time ago that none of these damn Chinese dolphins can be trusted! We should have let them all die in front of the Wehrmacht positions a long time ago, at least to delay the Wehrmacht offensive! ”

Hosoya Jing Daisa was scolding, but he didn't dare to accuse Shunroku Hata when he said it.

"Order all troops to withdraw at once! Notify the other four Wing Captains. Immediately withdraw from the position. Hosoya Jing also heard the offensive roar from the Wehrmacht, and he was as cunning as he naturally knew that this matter was no longer possible.

"Your Excellency Wing Commander, we have retreated like this, will Your Excellency the Commander ......?"

"I can't care so much!" Hosoya took a deep breath. Dao: "The most important thing for us now is to ensure that the vitality of the troops continues to fight, and we can keep as many imperial warriors as we can!" Wasted on the battlefield in vain, this is something that idiots do! ”

In some ways, Akira Hosotani sees the same thing as the Navy. He also believed that it was a pure idiot to consume troops in Shanghai, and that it would be better to send these troops to Southeast Asia to occupy more resource-providing areas in China if more than a million Japanese troops were dragged down or even consumed.

For example, India, and Australia, which is not far from Indonesia. These are the places that the Emperor ** people should occupy, and they will provide the Empire with a lot of resources to support the Empire to continue fighting.

And not Shanghai like this damn one. Leaving more than 100,000 people in vain, Hosoya Jing couldn't see any gains. Even for this, the empire consumed a lot of resources, and the gains outweighed the losses.

It's a pity that Hosotani Jing can't make decisions about these things at all.

Su Haoxuan, commander of the 18th Division, took the lead in rushing to the fifth line of defense of the Japanese army with his people. Surprisingly, however, they met no resistance. Even apart from the gunfire of the Imperial Association Army and his own gunfire, Su Haoxuan did not hear any gunfire of counterattack.

"Stop shooting!" Su Haoxuan, who found that something was wrong, roared loudly, and those little soldiers of the Imperial Association Army were directly stupid and put down the guns in their hands.

"Mao San'er, go up and have a look!" Su Haoxuan ordered to one of the guards beside him. The guard shouted loudly, grabbed the Tiger assault rifle in his hand, and rolled over a corner.

Not for a while. saw Mao San'er rushing back and said loudly: "Commander, those devils have all run away!" ”

Su Haoxuan's face changed, and he ordered the soldiers around him: "All of them, follow me!" ”

As he spoke, Su Haoxuan took the lead and rushed towards the corner. At this time, the Japanese troops of the five wings on the original position had withdrawn hundreds of meters under the advice and leadership of Hosotani Jing.

With the help of the support tunnels and anti-artillery holes behind the fifth position, they covered each other and wanted to withdraw in Shanghai.

The machine guns on the "Tutu Tu ......" position suddenly rang out, and the Japanese soldiers left all the machine guns behind the rear to form a fire net. In order to prevent the Wehrmacht from pursuing them.

Apparently. This had a certain effect. At least for now, Su Haoxuan can only try to pull out these firepower points and pursue. Otherwise, rushing forward recklessly can only increase your casualties.

This was not the main force of the Japanese army. It's just the strength of five wings. Moreover, most of them retreated in dispersion, and if the casualties were too great, even if they caught up, the gains outweighed the losses.

"Tom tom tom...... Boom boom boom "Boom ......boom" matter, the clattering tanks have also entered the position. Relying on his thick skin and thick flesh and artillery, he pulled out the firing points of those Japanese soldiers one by one.

Only then did Su Haoxuan lead people to pursue the Japanese army under the cover of the tank. Unfortunately, at this time, most of the Japanese army had withdrawn into Shanghai, and the fortifications formed one after another.

It was only a part of the armored forces and a division of Su Haoxuan, and rushing into such a city was undoubtedly equivalent to death. With a helpless sigh, Su Haoxuan could only order the troops to stop the pursuit and start cleaning the battlefield.

By this time, the battle in the sky had gradually become clear. The Japanese army, which was inferior in numbers and experience, finally paid the price for its recklessness and lack of intelligence.

More than a hundred Japanese fighters were shot down, and the rest struggled under the siege of the Wehrmacht. The chaos in the skies also made it impossible for troops on the ground to support them with anti-aircraft guns.

After all, he also has a large number of fighters in the sky, and accidentally shooting down his own plane is the most troublesome.

"Where's the Wyvern?! Damn Takenaka, if he hadn't been there I would have personally sent him to a court-martial!! Shunroku Hata roared in his headquarters.

None of the commanders of the armies and divisions at all levels below dared to squeak. Vice Admiral Toshitoshi Kinoshita, the head of the Third Flight Group, had a gloomy face and did not say a word, and Admiral Shigetaro Shimada's face was not good-looking.

So far, the loss of fighters on both the navy and the army side has been extremely great. Indeed, more than thirty Wehrmacht warplanes were shot down. But the Japanese army, which had lost its fifth position, was now thinking more about how to keep itself than how to get those fighters.

"Takenaka will arrive in an hour at most, and their fighter planes have already taken off, so I believe they will be able to support the ......battlefield soon," Shigetaro Shimada sighed.

"Your Excellency Shimada! That's not what you want! I want the Wyvern's Special Bomb! Hata Junroku roared with red eyes: "Now it's time for our Shanghai theater to survive and die, and at this time, only special ammunition can change the tide of the battle!" ”

The division commanders below obviously knew what a "special bomb" was, so they couldn't help but be surprised to hear that there was a special bomb on the Wyvern.

"The Wyvern is now heading at full speed towards Shanghai, but we need time." Shimada did not refute Shunroku Hatata's words, and paused: "Their fighters have already been dispatched, and I believe that we can still resist for a while until their arrival......"

Having said that, Shigetaro Shimada himself is not sure if he will be able to support the arrival of the Wyvern. The reason why Shunroku Hata's emotions exploded was because he had just received the news that those Imperial Allied troops in the fifth position were backing against the water.

Fortunately, the commander of the 58th Wing on the position, Jing Hosoya, was smarter and chose to evacuate with the rest of the wings before the Wehrmacht attacked. Finally saved some of the troops.

Without the fifth line of defense, the whole of Shanghai was exposed to the sight of the Wehrmacht. Although the whole of Shanghai had been turned into a huge barracks under the management of Shunroku Hatata, Shunroku Hata did not think that he could defend himself against the onslaught of the Wehrmacht.

The violent and frantic explosion on the fourth line of defense just now not only broke the fourth line of defense of the Japanese army, but even it crushed the last reliance of Shunroku Hatata.

This kind of thing only needs a sufficient amount to be able to clear a large gap. The Wehrmacht's armored forces and infantry could have penetrated through these gaps, and then divided and surrounded the Japanese forces throughout Shanghai and annihilated them.

"Your Excellency Shimada, I would also like to ask the battleships on the sea to immediately provide us with fire support from the naval guns." Shunroku Hata took a deep breath, bowed to Shimada, and said, "At the same time, please also ask Daisa Takenaka to speed up." The heavy task of Shanghai's defense can only rely on the navy......"

The head of the 3rd Flying Group, Toshitoshi Kinoshita, had a very unsightly face, and he lost more than seventy planes on the battlefield. But he didn't get the slightest comfort from Shunroku Hata.

Even Shunroku Hata now has to go to the navy for help, which makes him lose face as the head of the army flight group.

But he also knew that Shunroku Hata had no way to do it. Now the army must be supported by the guns of the battleships on the sea, and the "special ammunition" transported on the Wyvern is also a magic weapon for victory.

Without these, even if the entire Shanghai army of more than 300,000 troops fought hard, it might not be able to stop the strong attack of the Wehrmacht.

"I'll do my best!" When Shimada saw Shunroku Hata giving him this big salute, he couldn't help but stand up and bow slightly. Then Shimada saw the angry eyes of the army generals in the headquarters, and could only sigh and leave.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the war has come to this point. As the commander of the China Dispatch Army, the sin lies with me. Looking at the officers below, Shunroku Hata seemed to have aged several years all of a sudden.

The already thinning gray hair looked so glaring after the military hat was removed.

"Hatatoshi only asks you to be able to keep the honor of the Imperial Army in this last moment and not let it be dusted." Shunroku Hatata's voice trembled, and he said, "After that, Shun Hata went to ask His Majesty for his guilt......
