73. The Workers' and Peasants' Red Army entered Shanghai

When the battle at Zhabei Railway Station ended, the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army redoubled its efforts and launched an all-out attack on the entire concession of Shanghai.

Unfortunately, compared with the Shanghai Campaign in the early summer of 1949, commanded by General Su Yu, the strength of the Red Tenth Army was too thin -- in the Shanghai Campaign in May 1949, General Su Yu, who served as the commander-in-chief of the Third Field Army, invested a huge force of 420,000 troops in the Ninth and Tenth Corps in one fell swoop to compete with the stubborn Kuomintang army for the largest metropolis in China.

At this moment in December 1934, although the strength of the Red Tenth Army had already swelled greatly after many "expansions" on the way to Shanghai, the total strength of the Red Tenth Army was still less than 20,000. After deducting the basic garrison strength that controlled other important places in various places, Su Yu and Xun Huaizhou were extremely disappointed to find that they could only muster up a maximum of 6,000 men to launch an attack on the Shili Ocean Field on Xiangshang Beach.

Fortunately, at this point in time in December 1934, Shanghai's defense of Liliang was also far from comparable to that of May 1949:

In the May 1949 battle, Tang Enbo, who was defending Shanghai, had a garrison of 250,000 troops, as well as 3,000 American-style pillboxes, 4,000 reinforced concrete permanent fortifications, more than 10,000 field satellite fortifications, and more than 20,000 mines throughout the city and outside Shanghai. According to Townenberg's boasting, the defense system surrounding Shanghai was comparable to that of Stalingrad, the Soviet battlefield grinder of World War II!

At this moment, Shanghai was designated as a demilitarized zone because of the Songhu Armistice Treaty. Chinese troops are prohibited from entering. Apart from the Shanghai garrisons of various countries, the Kuomintang did not have a single fortification or fortress here, nor could they station any regular troops. Even Wusongkou, which is a strategic location, and the Longhua Garrison Command, which is a command hub, are in a state of undefense. The British, French, and American troops stationed in the Shanghai Concession were not restricted by the treaty, but they did not think of building defensive facilities in the concession, let alone fighting a bloody and arduous street battle in Shanghai.

In fact, they recklessly pulled a considerable part of their troops to the Zhabei railway station, far from the concession, and then were easily surrounded and annihilated by the Red Army.

Shili is the only one that has set up a large number of permanent fortifications in Shanghai. There were only Japanese Marines - but by now they had already been blown up by missiles.

What is even more advantageous is that after the fire at the Zhabei railway station, the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army not only easily wiped out nearly 3,000 allied troops from various countries. It also unified the consul generals of various countries in Shanghai, the commanders of the garrisons of Britain, France and the United States, the commanders of the international merchant groups, and the commanders of the Chinese merchant groups in the French Concession......

So, Wang Qiu invited Japan's strongest superpower girl, former Prime Minister Kotori Yu Mashiro, very undisciplinedly, and used her "human mind manipulation technique" to brainwash. Control the consuls general and commanders of various countries who have unfortunately become prisoners. Let these people turn around and persuade their remaining troops to surrender their own remaining troops in the concession, and at the same time advise the concession officials not to "kill themselves" in the face of the Red Army's attack......

As a result, the soldiers of the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army, who were heavily armed, escorted the hapless British Consul General Bran . When Sir John, Brigadier General Zacre, commander of the British forces stationed in Shanghai, and Colonel Grahan, commander of the International Merchant Corps, took them as shields and hostages, and crossed the Waibaidu Bridge over the Suzhou Creek, a small number of Indian soldiers stationed at the southern bridgehead of the Waibaidu Bridge happily dropped their Lee-Enfield rifles in their hands. chose to disarm and surrender on the spot. The dozen or so members of the International Chamber of Commerce stationed in the Bund Park put up a weak resistance. But it was soon overwhelmed by the Red Army, which had absolute superiority in forces.

At this point, the border defense of the public concession has been completely broken, and the Shanghai raider has entered the stage of street sweeping warfare.

In addition, in order to be able to complete the comprehensive suppression of the super metropolis of Shanghai with a limited force that is stretched thin, Wang Qiu and others have come up with all-round momentum and intimidation tactics very undisciplinedly, so as to completely crush the will of any potential enemy to resist psychologically.

All in all, at noon on this day, in the midst of the complex gaze of countless concession residents, wealthy tycoons, well-known literati, frustrated politicians, and Shimono courtiers, mixed with hatred, hatred, horror, and panic, thousands of Red Army soldiers sang the "Internationale" and quickly poured into the Shanghai Public Concession, a "country within a country" that had been forbidden to all Chinese troops since the end of the Qing Dynasty, and even Chiang Kai-shek had been detained from guards......

Could it be that these red bandits are really not afraid of offending foreigners? And he offended all the foreigners in one go! How bold! What a death!

But I don't know Weishenme, many Chinese seem to have a vague urge to raise their eyebrows in their hearts after seeing this scene......

What's even worse is that these red bandits who have invaded Shanghai, uh, no, they are the Red Army, and they look completely different from what they imagined!

Through the consistent propaganda of the Kuomintang authorities, everyone believed that the Red Army was poor, very worn-out, and poorly equipped - this was almost the unanimous understanding of the people of Shanghai, but ...... What is going on with this extremely high-end and high-grade army in front of you, and even a little sci-fi? !

Obviously, the current Red Tenth Army, no matter from which point of view, absolutely has nothing to do with the word "poor".

In fact, the current standard of equipment of the Red Tenth Army may have far exceeded that of any other army in China at that time.

Therefore, when groups of Red Army soldiers wearing yellow-green military coats, steel helmets, leather boots, special backpacks, and watches on their hands, armed with bayonets, poured into the Shanghai Concession with bayonet "Type 56 semi-automatic rifles," "Type 56 submachine guns," and "81 bars," the Chinese and foreign residents of the Public Concession were shocked on the spot...... In particular, those members of the International Business Group who used to be high-spirited and proud on the banks of the Huangpu River in the past were infinitely disappointed and depressed to find that compared with the Red Army in front of them, their own group of talents were more like turtles......

Then, a new round of even more terrifying visual impact appeared-dozens of Mobile Suit Gundams with water bottle faces, antenna heads, three-color fuselages, and armored samurai shapes. Changed into a red, yellow and black "Red Army style" livery, holding a sickle-hammer red flag fluttering in the wind, in the dull eyes of countless Chinese and foreigners. While playing the loud "Internationale" on the loudspeaker, he crossed the Waibaidu Bridge proudly!

Well, although these seemingly mighty giant robots are actually just giant cosplay props used in the future to promote Japan's cute house, including the "red horned triple speed" "Zagu"; "Strike", "Freedom", and "Holy Aegis" from "Gundam SEED" and "Baku" from the desert type Gundam "Baku"; A series of classic Gundam bodies such as the Seraphic Heavy Cannon Gundam in Gundam 00 and the Unicorn Gundam Unit 3 are also equipped with riveted armored robots that resemble toilets in Sakura Wars...... If the onlookers are anime otaku of modern shijie. It is estimated that at a glance, it is just a carnival carnival of a group of "radish control (Japanese for robot lovers)".

But the problem is, the citizens of Shanghai in the thirties of the twentieth century. Obviously, it is impossible to understand the truth behind this cheat...... As a result, all of you poor people who are shallow and ignorant were all bewildered by the mighty posture and thick barrels of these Mobile Suit Gundams for a while, and were deeply shocked!

Especially those Kuomintang military and political officials who fled into the concession. There are also the most ideologically reactionary financial capitalists and comprador class. In front of these "Red Bandit Gundams" full of science fiction, they are about to think blank and mentally collapse.

- When you find out that the "country bandits" in your impression are actually supermen with Zenith technology; When you have just fought bloodily to break through the opponent's lair, only to find that the opponent has already taken out your heart with god-level equipment...... How can such a gap be accepted?!!

Chairman Jiang, it is really not easy for you to besiege such a red bandit in the mountains of Jiangxi for so many years, and even once entered Ruijin!

…… Alas...... Ruijin for Shanghai ...... No matter how you look at it, the party-state has lost a lot!!

β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»

Although a team of Mobile Suit Gundams swaggered through the city like an invincible Iron King Kong, they have already given Shanghai citizens a visual shock like a shijie collapse. However. In order to completely frighten these Shanghainese to a nervous breakdown, the armed parade arranged by the time-travelers on this day is far from over.

-- Accompanied by bursts of eerie music coming from the sky. Dozens of Kirov airships, painted beige with their shells painted on the front of their airbags and a ferocious shark's mouth full of sharp teeth, proudly flew over the Suzhou Creek and over the heads of millions of Shanghai citizens, playing the majestic and deafening "March of the Soviets" while raining leaflets like snowflakes throughout the city.

I don't know how many people stood on the ground, on the balcony or at the window, leaning up at their aching necks for a long time, looking up at the huge sickle and hammer badge on the airship with their mouths wide open, completely shocked by this gadget full of Russian violent aesthetics, and fell into a state of madness.

At the same time, next to a command car at the north end of the Waibaidu Bridge, Wang Qiu was recording the exciting scene with a camera.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Although you can't get the classic picture of the overwhelming Kirov airship cluster soaring proudly over the Statue of Liberty in New York, USA, even if you change the ground background to the ten-mile ocean field on the Bund in Shanghai, it seems quite emotional...... It seems that the opening scene of the Chinese version of "Red Alert" could be made......" he smacked his lips and said to Jinchina, who was beside him, "...... What do you think? Sister Kim. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ The problem is that these airships seem to oppress beings and can theoretically drop bombs...... It's a pity that it's actually vulnerable......"

Jin Qina disapprovingly pointed out the essence of these "toys", "...... All it takes is a good rifle to knock it down! ”

-- Obviously, even at the level of industry in the 21 st century, it is impossible to make such a strange thing as an "armored airship." Therefore, these "Kirov" airships are actually just some temporarily modified advertising airships, which are almost useless except for their bluffing appearance.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ As long as they have a terrifying appearance, they're a wonderful tool for demoralizing your enemies! Can't be too demanding! ”

Wang Qiu pursed his lips, "...... Well, now that the Kirov airship has set sail, it seems that it is time for our Apocalypse Tank to set off......"

The next moment. One giant steel monster after another, with twin turrets and two large-caliber guns, the "Apocalypse" tank in "Red Alert", drove unusually arrogantly across the Waibaidu Bridge and entered the "capitalist lair" of the Shanghai Public Concession. The red five-pointed star on the silver-gray armor plate directly in front of the turret was shining in the sun, while the two mighty exhaust pipes at the rear of the turret were belching black smoke......

They rushed into Shanghai's most prosperous neighborhood with a crushing momentum, and the roar of rumbling engines from far and near made citizens think they were facing the god of war! On the turrets of these tanks, Commissar Sonya, Colonel Ihonovsky and other Russian werewolves. Wearing a handsome military uniform, he was looking down on the crowds on the street with a majestic posture like a military parade on Red Square. While singing the Soviet military song "Capitalist Funeral Requiem":

β€œβ€¦β€¦ The cheers of the Red Army's victory shook the sky like a banner hunt. We praise you with songs, full of glorious miles of battle.

You were born under the bright red flag, in the cruel years of 1918. You have defeated all the enemies. Defeated the fascist bandits......

Like the sun shining on us. Shining on the great Soviet Motherland. Our Motherland greets you! ”

- Although most of the audience did not understand Russian, it did not prevent them from feeling the confidence, heroism and might of the singing......

Of course, these "Apocalypse Tanks" that came out of the game are also nothing more than tractor-converted goods, and their actual use is to carry out the "Red Alert" propaganda campaign. The barrel on the turret is just a camouflage-painted water pipe, and even the turret itself does not turn.

But the problem is that the residents of Shanghai Tang in this era are obviously not aware of this. It is simply impossible to be clear about this.

Therefore, the citizens of the Shanghai Concession lived up to expectations and were completely intimidated. For a while, I didn't dare to resist again.

For example, Dai Li, who had been lurking to cause sabotage, was so frightened that he changed his mind and immediately slipped away with his subordinates in disguise......

β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»

β€œβ€¦β€¦ The Public Concession Bureau has been captured, but the directors have fled and are currently being searched. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ The diplomatic attachΓ© and the Marines at the U.S. consulate have just hoisted the white flag and announced the surrender of their weapons. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ The resistance of the British consulate was crushed, a total of five people were killed, and one of our soldiers was wounded. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ The Chinese merchant groups in the French Concession are still insisting on resisting, and our army's tentative attack on the French Concession Board of Directors has been thwarted, and we ask for fire support! ”

……

With the all-out offensive of the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army, war reports were also transmitted by wireless telephone to the temporary headquarters set up in the Bund Park.

In general, in the public concessions, which were jointly controlled by the United States and Great Britain, the Red Army was progressing quite smoothly. But the problem was that in the small French Concession of Shanghai, the Red Army was met with unexpectedly fierce resistance - and even more unexpectedly, this resistance did not come from the French!

β€œβ€¦β€¦ The French Concession Board of Directors is so difficult to beat? Haven't we already arrested the commander of the Chinese merchant group in the French Concession? And the French consul is also in our hands. Didn't you try to get them to go up and persuade them to surrender? Knowing that the vanguard was frustrated, Wang Qiu couldn't help but ask in wonder.

-- A mere militia organization with only a small number of single-shot rifles was able to withstand the "red soldiers of the 21 st century" armed with "five or six half" and "five or six charges," mortars, and grenade launchers on a battlefield without fortifications...... What kind of special material is this made of?

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Tried it! But they actually shot directly and killed the French consul who shouted to persuade him to surrender on the spot! General Xun Huaizhou said depressedly.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ The French are so stubborn? "Mr. Qiong Yao" Sister Jin Qina was also taken aback when she heard it, "...... I thought that after the First World War, the French had all lost the courage to fight and had become a wreck! ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Not really. General Xun Huaizhou shook his head and said, "...... The remnants of the French dispatch at the barracks on Rue Foch have surrendered, the French headquarters at Rue de Foch 75 has been occupied by us, and the French consulate has not put up resistance...... Only these Chinese merchants are still fighting to the death! ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Belch? The French masters have surrendered, but these traitors continue to fight us, and even dare to shoot the French consul? ”

Wang Qiu suddenly felt that his thinking was a little knotted, "...... Are they all crazy? ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ It's hard to say! There were a lot of crazy people in the Republic of China! Sister Jinjina blinked, "...... For example, after the Xinhai Revolution, it was clear that we Manchus had accepted the facts and were ready to be ordinary people with peace of mind, but Zhang Xun, a Han man, was bent on restoration...... Of course, a more reasonable explanation is that their thinking is so reactionary that they have nothing to say, and they have reached the point of going mad. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ That is, the Red Army fighters at the front were met by a pack of mad dogs...... Since it's a mad dog, you have to beat it to death with a stick as soon as possible! ”

Wang Qiu nodded when he heard this, "...... Let's just let Sonia take the Russian werewolves to put on the power armor and go for a walk over there! Anyway, no matter how stubborn they resisted, with just a few cloudburst shells, they should be able to solve the problem......" (To be continued......
