"It's not something I can decide." Geng Biao played a little slippery head and said with a smile: "Wainwright, you are a general. I'm a major now, do you think I have the right to decide whether you go or stay?! Hahaha......"

Wainwright was immediately embarrassed, Geng Biao was the first Wehrmacht officer he had seen. Subconsciously, he regarded Geng Biao as the spokesperson of the National Defense Army, but he forgot that Geng Biao was just a captain! The rank is no more than major.

In any case, there was no way for him to decide whether a figure of Wainwright's rank would stay or go.

In Shanghai, China, the Second Line of Defense occupied by the Sixth Army was busy. The Japanese troops on the opposite third line were dead silent. From time to time, the second-line positions would launch a tentative fortification against the third-line.

However, the reaction of the Japanese troops on the opposite side was very negative, and unless the Wehrmacht rushed to a hundred meters in front of the position, no guns were fired. And even if it is fought, it is constantly changing the point of fire to expel it.

The Sixth Army, which was in charge of the attack, obviously had no intention of attacking, and had a moment of fire testing. The fighters in the sky began to record the exposed firepower of the Japanese army, and these were all collected to the artillery division of the Second Army.

The Japanese firepower points were always shelled, crushing their desperate repairs. Whether it is repaired well or not, it will be destroyed again by the artillery fire of the Second Army.

In the six groups of canine-toothed bunker fortifications in the third-line position, three divisions and three brigades were garrisoned. At the same time, there were six Imperial Association divisions, with a total strength of nearly 200,000 troops.

With the unremitting efforts of Japanese engineers, the fourth-line position has been connected with the third-line position. At present, if the fourth-line position wants to support the third-line, it will only take more than ten minutes.

Moreover, the artillery has already transferred Zhuyuan, and it can carry out fire support at various points of the third-line positions at any time. This clearly increased the difficulty for the Wehrmacht to break through the third-line positions.

The commander of the Sixth Army, Ren Wenbin, was obviously not carried away by the victory, and he calmly continued to use his troops to test the firepower and troop deployment of the Japanese army. Then he and the chief of staff, Xue Wen, conducted a deduction.

To attack the first and second line positions, the Second Army used two different tactical approaches. Apparently. The second type of loss is smaller. According to post-war statistics, the Sixth Army suffered more than 8,700 casualties in this offensive.

Three thousand two hundred were killed, and the remaining five thousand were wounded. The number of Japanese troops annihilated in the First World War in the second-line positions was at least 30,000, and if the losses of the Fifth and Seventh Armies were included, the total casualties of the Wehrmacht this time were about 16,000.

The reason why the losses of the Sixth Army were relatively large was that they were the troops responsible for the main attack. The remaining two armies either carried out encirclement reinforcements, or attacked strongholds that had lost heavy troops. The loss is relatively small.

"Damn! This little man's brain is really good, and the turtle shell can shrink more and more every time! The needle can't be inserted, and the water can't be splashed! What a skill! Ren Wenbin threw the pen on the map in annoyance and scolded.

Truly. The Japanese army reacted quickly after suffering losses. They began to gradually plug the loopholes in their positions and constantly improve their fortifications.

It has to be said that the last time the Second Army Corps mobilized as a whole launched an offensive that was extremely wonderful. It has successively adopted feints, encirclement and reinforcements, main attacks, sabotage attacks, and infiltration and counter-encirclement by small forces...... And so on and so forth.

The Japanese army was momentarily beaten, and there was almost no way to withstand the Wehrmacht's onslaught, except for the continuous mobilization of troops to support the will of the Second Army Corps during the battle.

In the war. Once you fall into the rhythm of the enemy, then it is an extremely terrifying thing. The Japanese paid the price of blood, and their two divisions and three brigades only withdrew a few thousand people, and the rest were all buried on the ground.

After learning from the pain, although Shunroku Hata was lying on the sickbed softly, he still insisted on the fortification plan that he revised with the staff officers. A large number of revisions have been added to the fortifications, including troop deployment, weapon ratios, and support strategies...... Wait a minute.

While waiting for local approval, Shunroku Hata kept formulating a new defense plan. This kind of effort was fruitful, and after testing the firepower of the Japanese army, Ren Wenbin and others found that it had obviously become a luxury to want to attack the Japanese army's third-line position as they did to attack the second-line position.

Staggered fire support from front to rear, up and down. It made it much more difficult to attack the Japanese position. More troops were put into position, and during the day, only a small number of Japanese troops were monitoring the Imperial Allied Army.

At night, it was replaced by the Japanese army's own troops. The coordinates of the Japanese artillery had already been revised, and they began to provide artillery support in front of the positions at night.

The coordination of firing points was also changing, and although the Wehrmacht was able to identify the firing points, there was no way to stop the Japanese from constantly changing their positions.

Those fixed, moving firing points were intertwined. Seriously affected the offensive of the Wehrmacht. A large number of light machine guns were deployed in the Imperial Army, and they stopped the attack at fixed firing points under the supervision of the Japanese.

The elite Japanese troops were constantly moving and changing their positions to suppress the Wehrmacht's firepower.

"Youzi is not a fool, if you are so miserable by us, you will be an idiot." Xue Wen thought this was normal. He has already read Shunroku Hatata's information.

This guy won the third place when he graduated from Lu You, and in the subsequent Lu Shi, he won the second place in one fell swoop among more than 600 people. Participated in the Russo-Japanese War. When Lu University graduated, it was directly the first place.

In terms of actual combat, he has a wealth of practical experience. Speaking of theory, he also has a wealth of theoretical knowledge. Such people are easy to deal with, and that's hell.

"Didn't the commander-in-chief tell us not to worry?!" Xue Wen smiled and said to Ren Wenbin: "Let's study it now, it's not a real fight." What are you anxious about. ”

Ren Wenbin pressed his hands on the map and sighed: "I'm not convinced!" Let's lay down the second-line waste brains and use the plan is not incomplete. But just like that, three times five divided by two, let Xiao Zhenzi lock up, I don't think I'm reconciled......"

After the second-line positions were knocked down by the Sixth Army, the Sixth Army immediately became a model for the entire Second Army and even the military district. The elite officers of the Wehrmacht at the first rank were sent here to study.

As a typical Sixth Army, there was naturally no reason to hide their secrets from friendly troops, and they took these officers to visit the positions over and over again. At the same time, the whole process is deduced and reversed countless times on the sand table.

And these experiences made the entire Sixth Army suddenly bullish, and others who went out and said that they were the Sixth Army had to look up to them. There is no way, this is the soldiers of the Sixth Army who fought with flesh and blood.

When cleaning up the battlefield, the troops looked at the flesh and blood that had been blown up everywhere in the trenches, fortifications and bunkers, and the carcasses that smelled of roasted meat, and many recruits vomited immediately.

Many Japanese corpses could not be found, and the Sixth Army used various blasting and incineration methods when attacking. Blasting canisters and explosives packs are not less.

The strafing of heavy machine guns made it impossible for the Japanese soldiers in many fortifications to leave a complete corpse. In the bombed fortifications, I don't know how many Japanese soldiers were buried.

Su Haoxuan, the commander of the 18th Division, still remembers that when he was cleaning the position with the soldiers in the early morning, those men who were covered in blood and did not frown turned pale when they cleaned up the corpses of the Japanese soldiers, and many people sprayed out on the spot.

The bodies of the martyrs of the Wehrmacht who died in battle can basically be found. Those of the Japanese army, if you are lucky, can find those who are missing hands and feet or lower body. Most of what was found was an arm and thigh wearing a Japanese uniform.

Others who were burned to the ground, blackened and missing arms and legs can also be concluded to be the corpses of Japanese soldiers. Because no Wehrmacht rushed into the position while the tunnels and fortifications were still on fire.

Su Haoxuan is also an old man who has fought in the war, and he almost couldn't hold back and vomit when he saw this scene. And many of the veterans who cleaned up the battlefield with him were fountains of the human body.

The clearing and burial of the battlefield is entirely the work of the Wehrmacht. There was no way, the people who had volunteered to help were paralyzed by fright for the first time.

The rest are either crying on the spot or talking gibberish in fright. So these things had to be left to the Wehrmacht's own soldiers. As a result, the entire Sixth Army was basically uneaten for three days.

The smell of burnt human flesh lingered for four or five days before it gradually dissipated. The soldiers who withdrew to trim were also said to have the smell of barbecue on their bodies from time to time.

"Haoxuan, what do you kid think?!" Ren Wenbin pulled open his collar and said viciously to Su Haoxuan. The commander was already impatient.

It was only a two-front break, where the Wehrmacht suffered nearly 50,000 casualties. Behind the Japanese army there were three tighter lines of defense, and even the whole of Shanghai has now become a huge fortress and barracks.

Such a big loss has been caused here, and if it enters Shanghai, wouldn't the loss be even greater?!

"Difficult to ......fight" In fact, the unit that has been testing its firepower recently is Su Haoxuan's 18th Division. No one knew better than him what was going on in the positions of the Japanese troops.

Both day and night, Japanese artillery fire would block the route in front of the position. If you want to lurk, you will be detected if you get closer, and if you are far away, you may be shelled by the Japanese army.

The small force tried several times, and Su Haoxuan felt that at least now he was not sure of breaking through the Japanese position. Unless the entire Second Legion is filled with human lives.

"Commander, let's wait for a reply from headquarters." Su Haoxuan said a little helplessly: "It's useless to think about it now, this position is difficult to take down unless you fight hard......"

At the same time, the National Defense Force Research Institute in the imperial capital, Li Jia Xiaohou, was taking Shen Hong to conduct the final experiment. A batch of warheads was carefully loaded into the rockets by the assemblers and then evacuated.

The rockets didn't seem to look like usual, and the front end was painted a bright red like fireworks. Radiate the reflection of this Hittites......
