Early the next morning, the army did not continue to attack Zhabei, and even the air force of the army did not appear here, and all this in front of them showed the abnormal state on the battlefield.

The battle on Luodian's side was still tense, and Rao was here to resist the army that wanted to encircle Luodian, but the defenders of Luodian still failed to resist the attack of the frontline army, and this time, Luodian was finally lost.

After persisting for so long in the battle, after losing tens of thousands of people, it still returned to the origin of history, and the loss of Luodian means that there is no strategic place north of the entire Suzhou Creek.

"Brigade seat, telegram from the headquarters of the army group." Wu Zhongguo took the telegram that had just been translated from the telegraph soldier and handed it directly to Su Dao.

"The situation is worrying. Lao Wu, let the soldiers be ready to defend Zhabei to the death, and at the same time tell the soldiers not to work too hard, rather waste ammunition, and try not to get hurt as much as possible. After thinking about it, Su Dao commanded.

In the last life, the Battle of Songhu failed in Huaxia, and this war still could not change the previous fate, Su Dao only hated that he came too late, if Su Dao was allowed to go back to a few years ago, Su Dao was absolutely sure to drive the Shanghai army back to the sea. Luodian was lost, and now there is an order from above to fully cooperate with the defenders of Dachang, strictly defend the position, and resolutely not let a single army pass through Zhabei.

When he received this order, Su Dao knew that this Shanghai could not be defended, the only question was, how long could it be held? The Reading Brigade can be said to be Su Dao's only hope, Su Dao has no more time to spend huge energy to re-gather a force, in Zhabei, Su Dao can fight, but by no means a desperate fight, once the big field is lost, without anyone ordering, Su Dao will withdraw from the position as soon as possible.

As soon as they were unharmed, on October 22, the army was finally no longer calm, and the army appeared in front of the Zhabei position early in the morning, and it seemed that in their eyes, Zhabei was already in the bag, and today the air force of the army did not appear, and no one seemed to know where they had gone.

'Boom, boom. A huge explosion suddenly came, and the earth suddenly became crazy, trembling and wailing without mercy. The position suddenly turned into dirt and sand and stones, and some soldiers bent their bodies to hide in the anti-artillery holes, but they felt a smell of blood in their mouths.

Although the Yue army stayed in a place that could be seen by the Chinese defenders, the artillery fire did not have any effect on the Yue army at all, and even their faces showed a trace of excitement, yes, they liked this kind of violent and bloody scene.

'Boom! Rumble! There were several more powerful explosions, and a shell hit the front-line position directly, and the soldiers who stayed in the anti-artillery shelter were directly dismembered by the powerful artillery fire, and there was no one who could distinguish their **.

Large-caliber naval guns, 75mm field guns, and 37mm rapid-fire guns of the army all joined the shelling, but soon, Su Dao discovered something that he couldn't bear.

The huge hot air balloon on the position of the Reading Army in the air stood less than two kilometers away from the position of the Reading Brigade, and there were two soldiers of the Reading Army standing on it, as if they were checking the defense of the Reading Brigade. Although many people know what it is, can Su Dao, a person who came from later generations, not know this kind of old antique?

"Let the air defense regiment secretly pull up an air defense gun and run away, and shoot down that hot air balloon for Lao Tzu." As long as the hot air balloon is still floating in the air, the artillery shells of the army can be sent directly to the position in Zhabei in a steady stream, and it is not easy to use anti-aircraft artillery to shoot it down at this time.

Because hot air balloons can see the situation on the ground clearly, they are often responsible for correcting the landing point of the shells, and also observe the movement of enemy troops, or important positions, etc. With great fanfare, I pulled the anti-aircraft artillery out, and I am afraid that before you can set up the anti-aircraft artillery, the shells of the army will fall directly beside you.

Although the army used the old-fashioned tactics of the First World War, it has to be said that even if it was an old-fashioned tactic, Su Dao had no way to stop it, and only by sending adventurous anti-aircraft artillery to knock it down could he solve the difficulties he was about to face.

At this moment, Luodian has been lost, and the Chinese defenders are retreating on all fronts, although the position of Zhabei is a little northerly, and the north of Suzhou Creek is also the farthest position from Luodian, but with the retreat of friendly troops, Zhabei has instantly become a forward position, in addition to the rear, it can even be said that Zhabei is now attacked on three sides.

'Boom, boom! A few slightly different cannon sounds suddenly came, and Su Dao understood that his anti-aircraft artillery had safely arrived at the position, and began to attack the hot air balloon of the Yue army.

When the anti-aircraft gun faces the hot air balloon, there is actually no pressure at all, the slow movement speed of the hot air balloon is like a fixed target, and the huge air bag, casually sending a cannonball around the air bag can kill him. Soon, the hot air balloon of the Yue army fell with a bang, and the Yue army above naturally had no chance of survival, after all, it was hundreds of meters above the ground.

The artillery fire of the Japanese army is still continuing, and the previous anti-aircraft gun has also been hidden, at least until the Japanese fighter plane appears, it will not appear.

An hour later, the army finally stopped the shelling, and the ground troops gradually set up a formation, looking like Lao Tzu was going to charge. On the other hand, the Reading Brigade did not mess up because of the artillery attack just now, and most of the soldiers walked out of the air-raid shelter directly and lay on the trench in front of them, waiting for the charge of the army.

In particular, a few naval artillery shells directly hit the position of the Reading Brigade, directly blowing up the entire defenders' position, and the defenders hiding inside naturally lost their lives, and there was a brief gap in the defense. But fortunately, the soldiers around him were all under the command of the commander, and they consciously walked away from a few people to fill in the gap. In the face of strong firepower, the distance between the individual soldiers in the position does not seem to be a problem at all.

A strong MG34 general-purpose machine gun, as well as the M1 Garand semi-automatic rifle, were more than enough to make up for the numerical disadvantage. Although the Japanese naval artillery stopped bombing, the 37-mm rapid-fire guns and 75-mm field artillery behind the ground forces did not stop bombing, at least when the Japanese army did not reach a certain distance from the Zhabei defenders, they would not stop shelling.

Seeing that the army and the position were getting closer and closer, Su Dao turned around and looked at Zhou Ziting and the two boys who had been following him, Su Dao was not interested in understanding the relationship between the three of them, but according to Su Dao's experience, these two boys are definitely the kind of people who want to eat swan meat, after all, the son of a rich family has already run away.

Looking at the strange expressions of these three people, there was no trace of blood on the faces of the three of them, their faces were full of paleness, obviously frightened by the shelling just now, Su Dao couldn't help but want to laugh, but in the end he still insisted and said: "This is your last chance, go or not, you decide for yourself." ”

Zhou Ziting looked at Su Dao's villainous appearance, and was quite unhappy in her heart, did she look down on her aunt and grandmother like this? Although she was very scared at the moment, that didn't mean anything, at least that's what Zhou Ziting thought. Just as he wanted to open his mouth to refuse Su Dao, Wu Zhongguo suddenly ran over and interrupted Zhou Ziting.

"Brigade seat, the troops on the front line just came to ask, can we not use white phosphorus bombs?" Wu Zhongguo spoke. The shadow that the white phosphorus bomb brought to the hearts of the soldiers was too powerful, and after several battles, some soldiers even dreamed of the appearance of those soldiers who were burned to death by the white phosphorus bomb even when they slept at night, and they had developed a fear of the white phosphorus bomb.

"Yes, why not? Tell the soldiers not to have a psychological burden, if we don't want to do everything we can to kill the army in front of us, then it will be us and our robes who will die. Su Dao refused without thinking about it, and suddenly used white phosphorus bombs, the psychological harm caused to the soldiers Su Dao is not unclear, but Su Dao has no other way, now Su Dao has no large-caliber artillery to provide artillery support, and there are no tanks in front to resist the enemy's bullets, and there is no air force to suppress the enemy's footsteps, not using white phosphorus bombs means losing more soldiers, which Su Dao can't do.
