Volume 3 Step by Step Chapter 295 Life and Death Crisis

When Lu Kuiyuan led his troops to attack the headquarters building of the Japanese Marine Corps, Yang Sixian's 2nd Brigade and Yin Dizhong's Supplementary Brigade, with the cooperation of the 87th Division and the Shanghai Police Security Corps, mobilized two battalions of the 3rd Artillery Regiment mobilized by Zhang Zhizhong to bombard Hujiang University.

After a round of heavy artillery fire, the Japanese troops finally crawled out from behind the barricades and in the corners of various buildings, raised their guns to return fire at the attacking Chinese troops, but no one expected that what followed was a huge explosive bag that fell on the head and face, and immediately blew up the corpses of the unprepared devil soldiers all over the wild people, and they died strangely one by one.

It turned out that in order to solve the problem of insufficient suppressive firepower, Wu Ming had been asking the Ordnance Research Institute to study the use of waste gasoline barrels to launch explosive packages. One of them is to fill the empty gasoline barrel with propellant, and then put the explosive package bundled into a disc shape, and ignite the propellant to throw the 10-kilogram explosive package to a distance of 150 to 0 meters.

According to the test results, the larger the gasoline barrel, the larger the explosive package fired, the greater the power, and everywhere it passed, all the creatures in the pillboxes and trenches were not spared, and many goats and monkeys that were blown down during the test often did not find any wounds, but they bled through seven holes and were shocked to death.

In addition, gasoline drums can be used to throw stones weighing tens of kilograms and cluster grenades, which are extremely powerful.

Eventually, the weapon was named the Flying Thunder, and now it is the first time that the Flying Thunder has appeared on the battlefield, and the Japanese are the first to enjoy this terrible weapon.

After the thunderbolts washed the ground, most of the Japanese soldiers in the barricades and buildings were shocked to death, and the firepower of the return fire was minimal. Yang Sixian's 2nd Brigade and 3rd Regiment were the first to break through the Japanese defensive positions, and then the 4th Regiment and the 1st Regiment of Yin Dizhong's Supplementary Brigade also broke through the Japanese defense line one after another.

When Lu Kuiyuan and others killed the commander of the Japanese Marine Corps, Major General Okawauchi, as the firepower point on the last teaching building was removed, Hujiang University was also captured by the new Second Division.

However, at this time, Yang Sixian, the commander of the Second Brigade, did not show much excitement, Hujiang University was just a part of the Japanese army's northern defense system with the Gongda Yarn Factory as the core, and the Gongda Yarn Factory was the most difficult bone to gnaw

When the 87th Division and the Shanghai Police Security Corps attacked Hujiang University, the Japanese troops at the Gongda Yarn Factory continued to send raiding squads to strongly support the Japanese troops at Hujiang University, and they remained as solid as a rock after several days of fighting.

On the embankment adjacent to the southern end of Zhongding Island in the Huangpu River, Yang Sixian, commander of the Second Brigade of the New Second Division, led a group of men and horses over a bush, and saw from a distance Yin Dizhong, commander of the supplementary brigade, leading officers and soldiers to escort a small group of Japanese sailors over.

Yang Si led someone to greet him first, and asked with a smile, "Old Yin, how is it?" There are no major casualties

Yin Dizhong clapped his hands, and his mouth was a little depressed: "The Japanese Navy's will to fight is indeed not as good as the army, Lao Tzu just set up a mortar and prepared to bombard, and these turtle grandsons surrendered." If it weren't for the usefulness of keeping them, Lao Tzu would have slaughtered them on the spot."

Yang Sixian shook his head angrily.

Two hours earlier, the artillery of the New Second Division and the Central Air Force had beautifully struck the Japanese Navy's Third Fleet, which had almost completely wiped out its once formidable fleet, and a gunboat that had already escaped from the battlefield was so badly damaged that it sank halfway through. A group of Japanese sailors fled back to the Huangpu River in a small boat, and were captured by Yin Dizhong and others.

Ye Zhuhan, the chief of the intelligence section who followed Yang Sixian, pleaded: "Brigade Commander Yin, can you ask the Japanese officer a few words first?" ”

Yin Dizhong smiled brightly: "In this scene, the special company under Section Chief Ye is the protagonist, we all have to cooperate with you, you can ask anyone If these Japanese sailors don't speak, Lao Tzu will break their legs." ”

Ye Zhuhan shook his head and said with a smile: "With me, there is no need to break people's legs."

"That's right...... Ha Lu Ha"

Yin Dizhong couldn't help but say when he heard it, Ye Zhuhan is an intelligence expert, and torture to extract confessions is not a problem for Ye Zhuhan at all.

Ye Zhuhan nodded and thanked him, walked to the middle of the Japanese sailors with a few of his subordinates, and opened up with them, winning the favor of the Japanese sailors in two or three clicks.

Seeing Ye Zhuhan and others communicating with Japanese sailors, Yin Dizhong took Yang Sixian's hand and walked to the embankment, and the railing overlooked Dinghai Island, which was overgrown with reeds and wild grass: "Old Yang, Luo Yuming's first brigade has taken down the Japanese Marine Corps Headquarters building, and we can't lag behind here, otherwise, I will send my regiment to play the front for you, what do you think?" ”

In view of the sturdiness of the Gongda Yarn Mill, Yin Dizhong proposed to let his troops play the vanguard with great sincerity, because it was destined to be a great sacrifice. It's a pity that Yin Dizhong's sincerity is suspected of winning merit in Yang Sixian's view.

It is important to know that the two regiments of the Luo Yuming Brigade have already taken the lead and made great achievements, and Yang Sixian's Second Brigade has been competing with the First Brigade to distinguish itself from each other, and if the officers and men of the supplementary brigade are allowed to take the lead in attacking, the face of the Second Brigade may be lost to the Huangpu River. Yang Si pondered how to refuse, and a lieutenant colonel regiment commander stood out behind him, and said to Yin Dizhong very unceremoniously in a hoarse voice: "Chief Yin, do you want to slap our second brigade in the face?" ”

It was Zhou Juncheng, the commander of the third regiment, who spoke, he stood in front of Yin Dizhong, straightened his waist and said angrily: "Chief Yin, you can rest assured, the first brigade can successfully take the Japanese Marine Corps headquarters building, and our second brigade can also take a strong fortress like the Gongda Yarn Factory."

Yin Dizhong was pushed by a junior and was so choked that he couldn't speak. Zhou Juncheng came from the old teaching team, and he was also brought out by Wu Ming in the new second division system, and he mastered the most elite third regiment of the second brigade, and like Han Tiecheng of the first brigade, he was also a lawless lord.

At this time, Ye Zhuhan over there had already finished talking, and left the Japanese sailors and walked over to Yang Sixian and the others, and he said to the group of hopeful eyes:

"Okay, now that we have completely figured out the situation, the first and third mine corps of the first and third mine corps stationed in the Gongda Yarn Factory and the marines evacuated from Wuhan, Chongqing and other places in China are under the unified command of Major Oza Kenji of the Shanghai Special Land Command, which is basically consistent with our intelligence. Wait a while, our men will change into the uniforms of these sailors, and if they can, they can set off now. ”

While speaking, the Japanese sailors were forced by the rude officers and soldiers of the Third Regiment to take off their sailor uniforms very reluctantly, and the soldiers of the special company under Ye Zhuhan quickly put them on.

Ma Dagui, deputy company commander of the special company, even brought over a junior officer uniform and asked Ye Zhuhan to wear it.

While getting dressed, Ye Zhuhan repeatedly discussed the next step of cooperation with Zhou Juncheng, the head of the third regiment. In fact, it is easy to say, Ye Zhuhan led the officers and soldiers of the special company, disguised as sailors who were withdrawn from the Japanese gunboats, and entered the Gongda Yarn Factory to make trouble, and Zhou Juncheng must lead his troops to respond as soon as possible and seize the gate of the Gongda Yarn Factory, and then Yang Sixian led the troops directly under the fourth regiment and brigade, as well as Yin Dizhong's supplementary brigade, to catch up in time and take the fortress occupied by the Japanese army in one fell swoop.

After about a quarter of an hour, gunfire rang out in the direction of Dinghai Bridge southeast of Gongda Yarn Factory, and Ye Zhuhan led the officers and men of the special company to jump out of the bushes on the embankment of the Huangpu River, and then the officers and soldiers of a battalion of Zhou Juncheng's regiment who detoured to Yukangli rushed out of the nearby houses and chased after Ye Zhuhan.

The officers and men of Zhou Juncheng's regiment deliberately raised the muzzle of their guns when shooting, so it sounded very scary to ping pong, but in fact there was not much danger

Ye Zhuhan and the others ran as fast as rabbits, shouting in Japanese towards the Japanese marines in the southern barricade of the Gongda Yarn Mill: "Support, we need to support us is the sailors on the Imperial Navy's Third Fleet" Katata."

At the south gate of the Gongda Yarn Mill, Major Oda Kenji of the Shanghai Special Land Command, who had received the news and rushed to watch, opened his eyes wide and stared straight at this group of fleeing sailors; at this time, he had already received a telegram from the new commander of the Third Fleet, Nagumo Tadaichi, who knew about the capture of the Japanese Marine Corps Headquarters building, and that there were Chinese in disguise as Japanese soldiers. However, it is a fact that the Third Fleet fought against the Chinese Air Force and Army artillery units along the Huangpu River three or four hours ago, and if the sailors who were involved in an accident were not rescued in the face of death, their conscience and morality would not be able to pass, and the morale of the troops would be even more affected.

Oda Shaozuo thought about it, and then raised his hand and asked Lieutenant Matsushita of the First Mine Combat Corps Marine Corps to take a squad of soldiers to respond, and at the same time, the light and heavy machine guns in the Japanese bunker and the artillery positions in the rear began to block and shoot

Half-squinting a pair of small eyes, seeing Ye Zhuhan rushing over with a large group of Japanese sailors, Oda Shaozo couldn't help but think of what happened in the Marine Corps Headquarters building, and for the sake of safety, he called the captain of the machine gun squad and gave an order.

This belongs to the fringe area of the Shanghai Public Concession, and then it is the new urban area of Shanghai, although there are not many high-rise buildings, but the Shikumen buildings and bungalows are connected into a piece, under the joint suppression of the Japanese artillery and light and heavy machine guns, the officers and soldiers of the pursuing Zhou Juncheng 3rd Regiment had to retreat into various buildings to avoid the powerful fire of the Japanese army.

While running and observing the surrounding situation, Ye Zhuhan was a little helpless, now Zhou Juncheng's regiment is a full kilometer away from the outer position of the Gongda Yarn Factory, and if the soldiers run at full speed, it will take three or four minutes.

Ye Zhuhan pretended to be a Japanese sailor, and the team of more than 40 people only had two cleverly camouflaged flamethrowers, Ye Zhuhan held a crooked machine gun in his hand, and more soldiers held 38 big covers, which was not enough to seize the outlying strongholds of the Japanese army.

What is more important is that Ye Zhuhan and others must destroy the Japanese artillery positions and heavy machine gun positions, if the Japanese army is allowed to give full play to its own advantages, then the Second Brigade will suffer huge losses.

When Ye Zhuhan walked into the outlying stronghold with people, he felt even worse, the ghost soldiers around him were all hostile, and a machine gun team transferred by Oda Shaozuo pointed their guns at Ye Zhuhan and the others.

Some people in the special company were not angry, and scolded in skillful Japanese, raising the 38 big covers one by one to confront the surrounding devils.

Ye Zhuhan just wanted to speak, but looked at a devil over there Shaozuo waved his hand, and the machine gun team with more than 50 people and more than 20 machine guns surrounded Ye Zhuhan and the others at once. Seeing this, Ye Zhuhan hurriedly asked everyone to calm down and see what kind of medicine was sold in the other party's gourd.

Oda Osa stepped forward and said to Ye Zhuhan and the others: "Ladies and gentlemen, I am Oda the commander of the Dagong Yarn Factory, and now there have been many incidents of soldiers from China pretending to be soldiers of our Great Japanese Empire, and you are very suspicious, now please put down your arms immediately."

"Lay down your arms"

"Lay down your arms"

The soldiers of the Japanese machine-gun squad roared loudly in Japanese.

The soldiers of the special service company who could not speak Japanese in the queue nervously picked up the gun in their hands, thinking that they had been discovered, and just when everyone was about to fight with the devil, Ye Zhuhan threw the crooked machine gun in his hand, turned around, and ordered in Japanese to his soldiers: "Okay, we are now in a safe place, in order to relieve the troubles of friendly troops, everyone threw away the guns"

Before the mission began, Ye Zhuhan strictly demanded that he deal with any situation whenever it occurred. At this time, seeing Ye Zhuhan's movements, the team members naturally threw the weapons in their hands to the ground.

Oda Shaozo was still not satisfied, stretched out his hand and pointed to the backpack behind the soldier behind Ye Zhuhan: "Put that thing down too"

Ye Zhuhan's back was covered with cold sweat, this is a cleverly camouflaged flamethrower, and like another flamethrower, it is the biggest reliance of the entire operation team, if there are no weapons in the future, how to respond to Zhou Juncheng's group?

Ye Zhuhan licked Yu Shi's lips, stepped forward and said slowly and unusually firmly:

"Oda Shaosa, you are also a member of the navy, is this how you treat the sailors of the Great Japanese Empire? These two backpacks were specially kept by our commander of the 11th Sentai Army, Admiral Tanimoma, who said that they could not be given to anyone except the commander himself."

Looking directly at Xiao Tian Shaozuo, Ye Zhuhan took another step forward, putting on a look of unyielding death: "If you let us let go of our promises, unless I die"
