"It's a good fight!" Wen Hui was very curious about the combat effectiveness of the strengthened national army, so as soon as Songhu started, the foreign affairs personnel who stayed there reported every day, which was a different kind of text live broadcast. Judging from the current situation, their combat effectiveness has been significantly improved after the replacement of equipment, and the Japanese army reinforcements are not in place, and the navy is on the way to support, and the small advantage bureau is not bad.

It is a pity that the overall situation is still moving closer to the original historical aspect, and it cannot be said that the soldiers did not need to die, and the Japanese strongholds on the periphery of the Japanese Concession were removed under the cover of heavy artillery on the day of the war.

The government is strengthening the army, and the Japanese are not blind, their powerful intelligence agencies have long reported the situation to the military, so in addition to setting up fortifications in the Japanese concession, the Japanese have also strengthened the buildings in important locations, especially the Marine Corps Headquarters in Hongkou. Therefore, after the army advanced into the interior of the Japanese concession, it was really bloody step by step, and corpses fell every meter.

The army below learned to use flamethrowers to deal with stubborn fortifications, and when cleaning the enemy in the building, the soldiers found that the flower mechanism and a small amount of Winchester were particularly easy to use, and the opponent's 38-type gun body was too long to fight indoors, and this discovery was promoted to speed up the cleaning progress. Therefore, the Japanese concession was completely destroyed, the houses were either burned down or blown up by heavy artillery, the effect of the Bofors 75 guns in reaching the direct aim was also good, the armor-piercing shells issued were not under pressure to deal with ordinary fortifications, the mortars of 60, 82, and 120 made the Japanese suffer a lot in the street battles in the city, and the Japanese bean chariots did not save the situation, and now they are stubbornly guarding the headquarters and the surrounding blocks.

The 4,000-strong Marine Corps lost more than half of its strength on the first day, and the heavy casualties forced the Japanese to abandon some positions, retreat to defend the perimeter of the naval headquarters, and at the same time began to arm the expatriates into the battle. The fierce confrontation between the two sides showed the cruelty of the urban street fighting in advance, and the Japanese regretted it a little bit before the war.

"Japanese expatriates in the war...... Anyone who bears a weapon is an enemy...... It's not so pedantic. Wen Hui turned the next page, and actually saw the tanks on both sides appear, and the first battle of the national government's three-five style was won, and he took five heads" The chariot attack was quite sharp, and the advance was unimpeded, and many people were injured by the stray bullets reflected by the tank armor when the infantry advanced" Butan tactics are still not proficient!

Of course, it was not without losses, one was knocked out by Japanese anti-tank guns, one was blown up by human bombs, and one was damaged by its tracks, which was blown up by its own side when evacuating; In addition to the tank's record, a large number of equipped 37 guns also took two heads while acting as rapid-fire suppressive firepower, and the anti-tank guns also took their own blood, and the battle damage of 3:8 was not bad.

"Why hasn't Hongkou's headquarters been taken down?" Wen Hui couldn't understand that when he sold heavy artillery to them, the corresponding types of grenades, armor-piercing shells, and incendiary bombs were fully equipped! Especially the incendiary bombs, this thing should work well on smoldering fortifications.

You must know that when the government originally purchased the SFH18 howitzer, the Japanese were making a hindrance, and the Rhine Gong not only delayed the delivery time but also did not give enough shells, each gun was equipped with 1,000 rounds, and they were all high-explosive grenades, and there was not a single round of other ammunition.

This was something that the government did not expect, and after the start of the war, the heavy artillery destroyed all the targets, but the headquarters was helpless. What Zhang Zhizhong did not expect in the actual battle was that the SFH18150-mm howitzer could not destroy the headquarters of the Japanese Hongkou Marine Corps. In fact, their pre-war estimates were not wrong, the previous naval headquarters was a fortress-type fortification with a reinforced concrete structure, and although the walls were nearly a meter thick, there was nothing remarkable, and SFH18150 mm grenades could be effectively penetrated.

However, the so-called road is one foot high and the devil is one foot high, and the mistake of the national army lies in underestimating the enemy. The Japanese and the Germans, who were already allies, could not sit idly by and ignore the purchase of SFH18150-mm howitzers by China. After obtaining the detailed parameters and performance of this gun from the Germans, they carefully reinforced the Marine Corps command before the war. All key parts of the headquarters, in addition to increasing reinforced concrete, are also covered with a large number of thick steel plates, not to mention the howitzers of 150-mm howitzers, even 203-mm howitzers can withstand them. The Japanese would rather do useless work and suffer more than they could, but also get ahead of others. Their obstruction of the type and quantity of shells purchased by the government was evident after the start of the war, and the national army was helpless in the face of a fortified headquarters, sacrificing a large number of personnel in vain.

"You are strengthening, they are also strengthening, and it's not one or the other, how can there be an advantage. After the Japanese learned that the government had purchased more heavy artillery, the strengthening of the command was even more crazy than in history, not to mention 150 armor-piercing shells, even aerial bombs could be carried. Ryuji looked at the information, and it was enough to take this fortress, and it was useless to pile up heads, so he had to use technical weapons, and it would be easy to have a large-caliber mortar (such as Karl) or a large-caliber train gun (such as Gustav).

"Can't you help it? If you can't defeat the naval headquarters, you won't be able to destroy the Japanese central command in Shanghai, which will affect the future situation of the war. If we don't eat up the more than 10,000 Japanese troops currently entrenched in Shanghai as soon as possible, when their reinforcements arrive, not only will they have to suffer from the enemy, but the situation in Songhu will continue to erode. At this time, Wen Hui began to think about the government.

"How? It's not nothing, using heavy artillery to resist the bombardment can solve the problem, didn't Mao Zi make a good cover at the end of World War II. B4's big pipe is pushed under the nose and fired, what fortress can resist under the weight of the hammer of the father's iron fist? After speaking, Ryuji shook his head and denied, "This is unrealistic, heavy artillery is not only the lifeblood of the army, but also the risk of pushing it to the front line is too great, the Japanese air force and navy will not sit idly by, I'm afraid no commander dares to do this." "Now the Japanese army's naval aviation and naval artillery have caused the loss of fourteen M1928 155 howitzers and six SFH18 howitzers of the national army, all of which make them feel painful, and then as the Japanese reinforcements gradually rush to Shanghai, a large number of aircraft and heavy artillery will pose a greater threat to the heavy artillery of the national army.

Alas! Wen Hui sighed helplessly, it seems that the Songhu big grinding plate is inevitable. However, when it comes to artillery, the artillery performance of the national army this time is remarkable, whether it is the suppression support of heavy artillery or the fire coverage of light artillery, it is eye-catching.

"It is estimated that this is one of the few cases in which artillery clusters have been dispatched." Ryuzaki is not optimistic about the follow-up performance of the artillery, "The strength is suppressed too much, and I am afraid that they will have a hard time in the future." ”

It's already much better, Wen Hui quietly looked at the information and didn't speak, and now there are still a few heavy artillery regiments in the town, whether it is North China or Songhu, the mountain artillery group or the field artillery group that appeared on the battlefield are all regimental-level artillery units. Historically, both old and new, the whole country is counting on the output of those hundreds of artillery pieces! At that time, the artillery of the national government was divided into battalions and even company-level units and distributed throughout the country, and the two units belonging to the same artillery regiment were fighting across the world.

Originally, the strength was poor, and if it was split like this, it seemed that all battlefields were taken care of by artillery, but compared with the Japanese army, there was no advantage at all, and the artillery brigades to which the divisions belonged could complete unilateral suppression, not to mention the independent heavy artillery wings. Therefore, the fact that the artillery of the national government did not show any achievements was not a passive battle, but that the gap between the strength of the enemy and ourselves was too great, and the artillery with a weak strength had to change places if they fired two guns on the battlefield. As for concentrating artillery squatting in place and fighting with the Japanese artillery, it is even more unrealistic, I have said before that the artillery equipment of the national government, this kind of fighting consumption to fight the French government does not have the strength to play. The presence of artillery can also make the Japanese army have some scruples, if they are all over......

Naturally, this kind of battle, which is premised on the preservation of artillery, will not produce any decent results, and the artillery losses are not only the artillery unit commanders who have to be held responsible, but other officers are also jointly and severally responsible. In such a harsh environment of internal and external use, a brave commander would let the artillery shoot two guns and then withdraw in the face of losses, and if he saw that the battle situation was not good, he would directly let the artillery retreat.

So don't say the brainless words of "the government has superior weapons and does not resist the Japanese, it is better to support the turtle army", this kind of strength gap that cannot be filled with spiritual armament and human life is impossible for the turtle army to do better. At that time, the comparison of strength was: the Japanese army > the national government > the turtle army, and the trolls who shouted "civil war insider, foreign war outsider" will always ignore this strength comparison, and always say that the national government is so awesome to fight the turtle army, and it will be soft when it meets the Japanese army, this is not nonsense! Elementary school students who bully kindergarten can naturally be beaten violently, but when they meet middle school students, they are the one who is being bullied, because the strength is there! The army itself is the place where strength is most stressed, and if its strength is backward and beaten, it will suffer heavy losses, and it is inevitable that it will lose the war; no longer use the state government's series of defeats to talk about things; no matter what kind of problems the high-level command has, the difference in strength is a fact that cannot be concealed.

It was precisely because they delayed the footsteps of the Japanese with one bloody defeat after another, and held out until the Americans were defeated and the Japanese surrendered, that some people had the opportunity to unscrupulously slander and attack those heroic souls who died in the camp of different parties today. However, no amount of sophistry or even tampering can hide their share of the victory.

"They began to rush again, this time not at the division level, but a large number of light and heavy machine guns, flower traps, flamethrowers, anti-tank rifles, shells, and supplementary artillery ......," Yelena walked in with a telegram.

"Deliver them as quickly as possible, there are still fights on the Songhu battlefield!" A few days' consumption will not empty the reserves of the national government, but the bullets and shells consumed like running water make the people in the logistics department unable to sit still, and hurriedly sent a supplementary order to Wen Hui's side.

The battle reached this point, and the Japanese continued to bring in reinforcements from the sea. The one in Nanjing, while mobilizing the elite of the Central Army (17 divisions) to participate in the war, was also mobilizing local troops to enter the battlefield, Sichuan (9 divisions and 2 brigades), Hunan (12 divisions and 4 brigades), Hubei (3 divisions), Anhui (4 divisions), Guangxi (6 divisions), Guangdong (6 divisions and 1 brigade), and eight divisions of the Northeast Army began to converge in the Songhu area, and the pre-World War II rehearsals entered a white-hot stage.

"Sir, the order is here!" Wen Hui didn't have been an off-site spectator for a long time, Mr. Jiang's memory is obviously good, and he hasn't forgotten that he is a different kind of warlord army. So this time, Hunan sent thirteen divisions to participate in the war.
