Chapter 55: Naval Bombardment!

In the fierce attack of the 33rd Brigade, one and a half brigades of the 43rd Wing, which had been reduced since the landing, failed to hold Luodian and retreated to the northwest corner of Luodian, where the position of the original 14th Division blocked the attack of the 33rd Brigade with the river base.

As soon as the sky was bright, Ye Peigao was unwilling and ordered the brothers to continue the attack, and the brothers of a company found the door panel from the ruins, and forced to cross the river in the rain of bullets and bullets of the devils, but were blocked by the machine guns, mortars, and grenadiers of the devils on the Qilian River, and all the brothers of a company were sacrificed on the river, and the corpses floated along the river, and the narrow river was full of the remains of the brothers who died in battle.

"Brigade commander, it's dawn, it's time for the devil's planes and heavy artillery to come, or order the brothers to build fortifications! We'll think about it again tonight! ”

Hu Lian, the head of the 66th Regiment, suggested with a heartache,

"Hey! What a failure! Damn the 14th Division, it won't be silent even if it is disarmed! ”

Ye Peigao had no choice but to agree to Hu Lian's suggestion and ordered the brothers to build fortifications and prepare for the attack of the devils; In the Songhu battlefield is currently like this, during the day, the devils launched an attack under the cover of aircraft, tanks, and heavy artillery, and the national army could only hide in trenches, anti-artillery holes and other fortifications to resist desperately, and at night, they used their own flesh and blood to regain the positions lost during the day.

"What? The Fourteenth Division behind us was disarmed? Went to Cao Wang Temple? "The brigade commander of the 31st Brigade, Wang Yan, looked incredulous,

Since the 31st Brigade captured Lujia Village, it has been renovating its positions and preparing for the counterattack of the 11th Division of the Japanese Army.

"Order, the 67th Division will attack from the west of Luodian, and be sure to destroy the remnants of Luodian!"

Luo Zhuoying's order was transmitted to the hands of Lieutenant General Li Shusen, the commander of the 67th Division, through the airwaves, and the 67th Division, which suffered heavy casualties, had to start again and attack Luodian, but at this time, the sky had already begun to lighten!

Luodian, a town with a strong Jiangnan character, slowly showed itself in the light, the lonely people who had been bombed by shells several rounds now seemed peaceful, except for the sporadic gunfire, there was no other movement, and the soldiers who had fought all night were now busy looking for cover, and their targets were the houses and ruins that had not yet completely collapsed.

The Death Company was assigned a task, along the Qilian River, the northeast of the Qilian River near the river bank was cut off to the thirty brothers of the Death Company, Feng Yi's task was to guard against the devil's counterattack, and the devil must not be allowed to cross the river.

"Feng Yi, we have a good paragraph! There is another room in the back, and the brothers don't even have to dig trenches, so I'm going to sleep. ”

An old soldier muttered, more than a hundred meters behind their river bank, there is a house, the house to the river bank is an open field, good view, good for defense, stay in the house, set up an observation post, the devils attack from here, they don't need to run, they can fight back against the rammed earth wall.

"Everyone, fifty meters from the bank of the river began to dig trenches, dig a little deeper, and then build communication trenches, all the way to the ruins behind the houses; Let's get started! ”

Feng Yi didn't care about him, but gave an order in a hurry.

"Feng Yi, what do you mean? Just now, you want to toss the brothers? Will it be bad to sleep at this time? ”

"It's just, I haven't closed my eyes all night, and I'm sleepy to death!"

The brethren nibbled on cold multigrain bread and began to protest.

"If you want to die, go into the house and sleep! It's a living coffin, with the rammed earth walls and half of the roof left, do you think it can hold off the devil's shells? ”

Feng Yi reminded everyone,

"What do you mean?" Li Chenglin stopped eating and asked Feng Yi puzzled.

"What is the first move of the devil's attack? Think about it, everyone! Feng Yi reminded these sinners,

"Shelling, and the caliber will not be small!"

Li Chenglin finally reacted and replied to Feng Yi.

"Until now, the main force of the devil has not come to reinforce until now, what does it mean? They must have been blocked by other brothers, and the devils want to fight back against Luodian, and the fastest way is for the devils on the other side of the river to attack them, and the entire Luodian will turn into hell on earth in the shelling of the devils. Do you think that such a good place, the devil will keep it, and he is reluctant to blow it up? ”

Feng Ye pointed to the other side of the river and said,

The sinners poked next to the room were silent, staring at each other speechless, looking at each other, sleepless, and cold sweat kept coming out of the top of their heads.

"If you don't want to die, hurry up, the devil won't give us much time." After Feng Ye finished speaking, he began to wave the shovel pulled out of the ruins, tossing in the dirt with all his might, digging a single bunker first, and if he had time, he would connect all the individual bunkers, it would be a simple trench!

"Don't bother, hurry up."

Li Chenglin yelled, then rushed into the house and began to mess around, he was looking for tools......

"Holy shit! This product didn't pit us, let's do it! ”

The Northeast sinner, who liked to be a thorn, roared and rushed into the ruins, and in the hazy morning light, more than twenty figures hurriedly tossed among the ruin-like houses.

"Squeak!"

In the midst of a screeching sound of metal rubbing, the devil fleet docked on the sea surface of Shanghai began to spin the cold cannon body, and the thick barrels of the naval guns slowly raised, facing the gray sky of Songhu fiercely. "Clang" shells entered the chamber and took place.

The first wave of artillery bombardment by the devil this time exceeded all expectations, including Feng Yi, who was on the worst budget, was not the army's heavy artillery at all, but directly on the naval guns of the navy's warships.

Compared to the army's heavy artillery, the navy's naval guns have a larger caliber, their main guns are at least 4 inches (120mm), and the battleship's main guns even reach 356mm, even under the same caliber, the navy's naval guns are more powerful than the army's heavy guns, because their barrels are longer!

The importance of Luodian is reflected, the devils dare not take the risk of losing Luodian, they are eager to erase the area of the national army in Luodian, at this time the devils no longer care about wasting precious naval artillery main artillery shells!

"Chirp!"

The shells of the large-caliber naval guns came towards Luodian with a whistling, and the devil's naval guns were guided by the remnants of the 43rd Wing who were cowering in the northwest direction of Luodian, and there was no problem with the positioning at all!

"Boom!"

What is the scene of the shells fired by the main guns of the sea surface fleet falling on the ground, the power of the explosion, carrying a large amount of smoke and gravel, directly condensed a small mushroom-shaped cloud of smoke in the air, the explosion smoke and dust rushed into the air dozens of meters, the shells fell within a radius of dozens of meters, and the shock wave of the explosion swept everything around, regardless of whether it was a house or a ruin, they were swept away by the shock wave of the explosion, and they dissipated in the shock wave without resistance.

"Boom!"

The aftermath of the first explosion had not yet subsided, and the second shell followed, and the whole town was still shaking in the first explosion, and the second tremor followed before the flying rubble and sand had not yet landed.
