Clusters of explosives with flames smashed down towards the Japanese position, and when they saw what it was, the devil soldiers woke up like a dream, turned around and fled.

The devil officer who was escorting the formation behind saw that he had done this, and he was about to drive the soldiers back to the barricade with his saber, when the earth-shattering sound was already heard overhead, and as the scarlet fireballs exploded, a huge shock wave was stirred from the explosion point. The earth trembled violently with the sound of explosions, and various debris swung everywhere in the sky.

The fortifications that had been directly hit by the explosives pack flew into the air, and bricks, weapon parts, and human flesh rained down in all directions.

Under the impact of the violent air waves, several nearby houses could not withstand the ravages of modern weapons, and in the groans of pain, the walls collapsed.

Countless brick and stone tiles grinded the devils on the battlefield into pulp, and pieces of flesh and blood drifted to all corners of the devil's peripheral fortifications, and the broken hands and legs were scattered everywhere along the walls and barricades. The saber of one of the devil officers flipped twice in the sky, and when it fell, it plunged straight into the pile of sandbags.

Looking at the vicinity of the barricades made of sandbags, some of the full-cover and half-covered fortifications have completely collapsed, and even if they are lucky not to collapse, all the devil soldiers hidden inside have fallen to the ground, although there are no wounds on their bodies, but they are bleeding to death, and these guys are all shocked to death.

The deafening sound of the explosion also frightened the officers and men of the 88th Division who were advancing, and in the blink of an eye, the devil soldiers who were still shooting with their guns raised just now on the Japanese position disappeared, leaving only pools of blood. Looking at the soldiers of the new Second Division beside them, they rushed forward with a scream as if they had been beaten with chicken blood.

The officers and men of the 88th Division suddenly came to their senses, and without greeting them, they followed closely behind the officers and men of the New 2nd Division and rushed forward.

Seeing more than a dozen flames coming, the barricades and fortifications in front of them were unresponsive, and even the heavy machine gun bunkers were lifted off their covers, and a swarthy murderous weapon twisted into a twisted shape and turned into scrap copper and rotten iron. When the Japanese soldiers who were reinforcing the front saw it, they were all frightened, and they no longer paid attention to the shouts of the officers who pressed the formation, turned around and fled to the rear.

Without the protection of the barricades and fortifications, the fate of the Japanese army can be imagined, and the officers and men of the new 2nd and 88th Divisions who attacked chased after them as if they had drunk stimulants. The officers and men of the sharp knife company of the Han Tiecheng Regiment in front of the sudden rose their submachine guns again and again and fired fiercely at the fleeing Japanese soldiers.

Some of the devil soldiers who retreated to the back houses wanted to organize themselves to fight back under the supervision of the grassroots officers and non-commissioned officers, but a shower of grenades flew from the head and face, and before the devil soldiers could lie down, a "boom" of grenade explosions came from inside and outside the house, and a few surviving devils still wanted to escape again, and a dense rain of submachine guns and bullets hit, and they immediately fell to the ground unwillingly.

After easily occupying the outer fortifications, the Chinese army followed the pace of the devil's retreat and continued to pounce towards the follow-up fortifications. The whole attack was like a cloud of peers, the pace was fast and efficient, and the devil didn't have the slightest power to fight back

Brigade Commander Zhu of the 88th Division saw that his eyes were round, and he wiped his eyes in disbelief, but the living reality told him that all this was true, and the Japanese army, which was once regarded as invincible, would also waver, would also flee, and would die in the aggrieved way of being bombed in his vest.

However, although he envied the super-efficient offensive of the officers and men of the New Second Division, Brigade Commander Zhu knew how hard it would take to train and how long it would take to practice, and the ammunition consumed would probably be incalculable.

Brigade Commander Zhu suddenly became interested in the mysterious weapon that destroyed almost all the front-line positions of the Japanese army, he put down the binoculars, turned to Luo Yuming and said:

"Brigade Commander Luo, what kind of cannon did you use just now? So powerful...... When a piece of artillery fire went down, the devil's defense line was blown to pieces, and the blood flowed like a river."

Luo Yuming smiled slightly, and pointed to the gasoline drum two hundred meters away from the Japanese position: "As you can see, it is the secret weapon of our new second division, and our division seat named it Flying Thunder, also known as the conscienceless cannon."

Luo Yuming did not tell Brigade Commander Zhu the specific manufacturing method, because a discerning person can know what kind of thing Lu Dao is made of at a glance, Luo Yuming emphasized that although this weapon is simple, its lethality is extremely amazing.

In fact, there is no need for Luo Yuming to add that there is no one who can stand up as soon as the conscienceless cannon comes out of the Japanese position, which is enough to explain the problem.

Brigade Commander Zhu looked at the row of gasoline barrels with longing, and said in his heart that if he had this kind of weapon in his hand, he would not be afraid of not having a sharp weapon to attack the fortification.

Brigade Commander Zhu thought for a while and said to Luo Yuming: "Brigade Commander Luo, I wonder if your new Second Division can support part of our 88th Division with this weapon?" ”

"It's-"

Luo Yuming's face was a little ugly, he frowned and glanced at Brigade Commander Zhu dissatisfiedly, and stopped talking.

Seeing Luo Yuming's reaction, Brigade Commander Zhu knew that he was too greedy, and smiled wryly: "Brigade Commander Luo, I admit that this request is a bit excessive. But for the sake of the great cause of the Anti-Japanese War, I can only be cheeky ......"

"If you really want it, you can't ......"

Luo Yuming interrupted Zhu Chi's words, revealing a little bit of tone: "Although this kind of flying thunder cannon looks simple, it is developed after thousands of tests, and the general gasoline barrel will have shortcomings such as exploding, short range and inability to accurately locate, ours is completely different, and slowly you will know the way."

"We can provide this Flying Thunder Cannon to friendly forces, but not for free. Now our division is seriously short of weapons and equipment, for example, the number of mortars, light and heavy machine guns and submachine guns in our brigade is insufficient, and we can exchange some of the flying thunder guns."

"It's all good to say"

Brigade Commander Zhu grinned, patted his chest and said, "If you don't want too many things, we can take out some weapons and exchange them with you."

"Great"

Luo Yuming hurriedly took out a list full of various weapons, equipment and military supplies from his jacket pocket and handed it to Brigade Commander Zhu.

Brigade Commander Zhu took a look, and his face suddenly became very ugly. The list was full of good things, 10 Min-2 4 heavy machine guns, 30 Czech light machine guns, 10 150-mm heavy mortars, 12 75-mm field guns, and 6 0-mm howitzers......

Brigade Commander Zhu's eyes were about to fall, and the things listed by Luo Yuming could almost be redressed by a German mechanic, he shook his head a little embarrassedly, and stuffed the list back into Luo Yuming's hand: "Brigade Commander Luo, your asking price is too high, we really can't do it"

Luo Yuming took Brigade Commander Zhu's hand, just like a profiteer promoting his own products, very enthusiastic: "Old Zhu, have you seen our division's bazooka?" ”

Brigade Commander Zhu nodded, and the bazooka hit tanks and strong fortifications at a distance of one or two hundred meters, which was really invincible, and when he saw it for the first time, he made Brigade Commander Sun die of slander.

Luo Yuming clapped his hands: "Brigade Commander Zhu, this is a list of weapons specially listed by our division commander, he said that our division has such sharp weapons as bazookas and unscrupulous guns to attack and defend fortifications, and they take advantage of it, and they can't watch their brother troops suffer, if they can adjust with their brother troops, it would be better." ”

Although Brigade Commander Zhu was eager to get a bazooka and a conscienceless cannon, he was still insensitive to the list in Luo Yuming's hand. If he dared to use so many weapons and equipment to exchange for bazookas and unconscionable cannons, division commander Sun Yuanliang would kill him.

Luo Yuming glanced at Brigade Commander Zhu and thought secretly in his heart. Although the bazooka and the unconscionable cannon are amazingly powerful, they have great limitations, the main one being that the range is too short.

The firing range of the unconscionable cannon was only 250 meters at most, and if it were not for Luo Changling's three artillery batteries in front of him to take the lead in firing and suppressing them, the Japanese soldiers all hid in bunkers in order to avoid artillery fire, and the officers and men who operated the unconscionable cannon had the opportunity to arrange the projectile in front of the devil's position, and unexpectedly caught the Japanese troops who returned to their positions by surprise

When bazookas and unscrupulous guns are used defensively, the disadvantage of short range is not obvious, but when attacking, because their range is too short, the weapon operator will be exposed to the threat of the opponent's light and heavy machine guns, rifles, mortars, infantry guns and other weapons, and there is little room to play.

In view of the long tug-of-war in the Songhu area, which lasted for more than three months, and the defense line and the defense battle of Nanjing, which might come later, Wu Ming hinted that the brigades could exchange unconscionable artillery and bazooka for the light and heavy weapons needed by the new Second Division.

In this way, Wu Ming wanted to popularize the unscrupulous cannon and rocket launcher among the Chinese army in the Shanghai area, increase the strength of the guard, minimize the casualties of Chinese officers and soldiers, and avoid the Nanjing Massacre.

Under the lure of Luo Yuming, Brigade Commander Zhu reluctantly agreed to make a deal, using five civilian 24-type heavy machine guns, 10 Czech-style light machine guns, 20 boxes of grenades, and 5,000 yuan of the 262nd Brigade in exchange for 20 unconscionable guns and 10 bazookas.

A business was made, and both of them were very happy.

After knowing the power of the conscienceless cannon and the bazooka, Brigade Commander Zhu smiled extremely happily and felt that he had made a good deal. Luo Yuming is also quite happy, after all, with the current number of gasoline barrels in Maoliangwu and the production capacity of the arsenal, the unconscionable cannon can be mass-produced, although the bazooka is a little troublesome, but in order to let the friendly army have at least anti-tank capabilities, it is also worth it.

By the time the two brigade commanders had done business, and the mixed forces composed of the 1st Brigade of the New 2nd Division and the 262nd Brigade of the 88th Division had completely occupied the Japanese stronghold, the officers and men of the Han Tiecheng Regiment walked out of the smoke-smoking fortifications with guns in their hands one by one.

Everyone was very relieved to see the Japanese marines who usually flaunted their martial arts one by one and protested in broken Chinese against the rough treatment of the Chinese soldiers.

The telegram of victory was quickly transmitted back to the headquarters of the New Second Division, and Chief of Staff Zhang Dongning handed the telegram to Wu Ming and sneered: "This Luo has a crooked mouth, and he has not reported the casualties, so it really makes people wonder what to say."

Wu Ming took it and looked at it, with a smile on his face.

The results achieved by Luo Yuming's brigade were quite gratifying, and in just one day, they almost cleared the Japanese troops on Hongkou and Wusong Road in the south, which was expected before the war, but did not expect it to be so smooth.

Regarding Zhang Dongning's complaint, Wu Ming waved his hand and said: "Since he did not report, it means that the casualties of the first brigade are not large, and there is no need to replenish new soldiers."

When Wu Ming sent another telegram of victory to the headquarters of the Ninth Group Army, Zhang Zhizhong lamented for a while, he had just sent the battle report to Nanjing, but he did not expect another good news to come.

Zhang Zhizhong touched the face of the scholar's temperament, and his heart was very entangled: "This Wu Ming, isn't it better to send the battle reports one after another?" Then he continued to report to Nanjing in pain and happiness.

Chiang Kai-shek, who received Zhang Zhizhong's telegram again, also had a headache.

In just one day, the Military Committee reaped the good news of the new Second Division one after another, and although it had already commended Zhang Zhizhong, Wu Ming, Sun Yuanliang, and other generals, it was still far from enough, and it seemed that it had to think carefully about how to reward this ace force.
