Chapter 30: Copy: The Songhu War of Resistance (4)
"Yaga!"
"Smack!"
The commander of the Japanese army, Rear Admiral Koichi Shiozawa, waved his arm and slapped Hideki Okishima, who was in charge of commanding the attack on Ouyang Yu's position.
"The two attacks didn't even rush up to the enemy's position, but caused heavy casualties to the soldiers of our Imperial Japanese Army, if it wasn't the time to use people, I must have you seppuku!"
"Haha!"
Hideki Okishima, who was slapped twice, didn't dare to refute at all, if he dared to refute, he might really have a seppuku.
Since the start of the war, there has been bad news from all over the Japanese army, which made Major General Shiozawa Koichi, who was clamoring to occupy Shanghai in three days, feel very faceless, and after slapping others twice, he felt a little less angry in his heart, and Hideki Hideki Oshima asked, "Tell me about the battle situation." β
"Hey. Hideki Okinoshima organized a language explanation and said: " The Chinese army responsible for defending Zhabei District is the new 38th Regiment of the Republic of China, the head of the regiment is named Ouyang Yu, is a young girl under the age of 20, likes to dress up as a man, it is said that the background is very hard, and a number of senior officials of the Nanjing government have a relationship, the new 38th Regiment is very well equipped, equipped with a large number of automatic weapons, especially submachine guns, and there is also a tank company and artillery company, Shanghai North Railway Station is because of the new 38th Regiment tank company and artillery company to participate in the battle will be lost, the new 38th Regiment in front of a large number of automatic weapons Our army is very passive, unable to launch a white-knuckle battle for decisive victory, so there will be such a resultγ β
"Smack!"
Major General Koichi Shiozawa slapped Hideki Okishima again, "You were defeated in the hands of a woman, are you not worthy of being a samurai of our Great Japanese Empire, and the armored car that belongs to you?"
"All eight armored vehicles were destroyed by the anti-tank guns of the new 38th Regiment during the first attack. β
"Yaga!"
"Smack!"
Hideki Okishima was unfortunately slapped again, so frightened that he lowered his head and didn't dare to speak again.
Major General Koichi Shiozawa is like a wounded beast, walking back and forth in his office, the current battle situation is completely beyond his expectations before the war, all the combat objectives are not only not completed but lost troops, now the time has reached four o'clock in the morning, and there are two hours before dawn, Major General Shiozawa Koichi considered a solution for a while, temporarily stopped the attack, and waited for dawn to attack again with the help of a powerful navy and naval aviation.
The Japanese army's suspended attack gave Ouyang Yu's army and the sixth regiment time to rest, and the soldiers of Ouyang Yu's army took this opportunity to step up the fortifications and replenish ammunition.
At 6:30 a.m., the Japanese battleships on the Huangpu River raised their guns, and the seaplane carrier Notoro began to release its planes. Eight Type 3 shipboard fighters and eight Type 13 shipboard attack planes took off from the Notobu Lu and roared towards Ouyang Yujun's position.
The Notoro seaplane carrier was originally one of the special service ships (oil supply ships) listed in the "88th Fleet Auxiliary Ship Program", and was completed in 1920. At this time, Wakamiya, the only seaplane carrier of the Japanese Navy, was getting aging and decided to convert the Notoro into a substitute ship. In 1924, the Notoro carried out a conversion of the water engine carrier at the Sasebo Factory, and the content was the same as that of Wakamiya (the aircraft take-off deck was installed, and the hangar, parts store, gasoline depot, and aviation personnel quarters were set up inside the hull), but due to the large size of the ship, the number of aircraft could be twice that of the Wakamiya, and the ship could continue to be used as an oil tanker in addition to carrying seaplanes. In 1934, Notoro's ship registration was changed from a spy ship to a seaplane carrier, after which the ship participated in the Shanghai, Guangdong and Yangtze River operations in the Second Sino-Japanese War in 1937, and after the outbreak of the Pacific War, the ship was mainly used for aircraft and fuel transportation, and was torpedoed and injured by American submarines three times. On November 5, 1944, Noto Lu was heavily damaged by a bombing by American planes in Singapore, and after that, it was no longer repaired and was shelved as a reserve ship. After Japan's surrender, the Noto Ryu was taken over by the British and sank in the Strait of Malacca in 1947.
In 1926, the Japanese Navy announced the need for a successor to the Type 10 fighter, when Nakajima, Mitsubishi and Aichi all participated in the bidding, at that time the Japanese Navy's requirements were only better than the Type 10 fighter and if it fell into the sea, the aircraft could float, so Mitsubishi and Aichi's design were added to the floating and waterproof, but Nakajima's design believed that this would have a bad impact on flight performance, Nakajima's design was a British cockfighting fighter imitation, and even its air-cooled engine was copied from the British Jupiter 6 (420 horsepower) After shopping around, the Japanese Navy believed that Nakajima was the most capable of designing air combat, so it announced that it would be named the A1N Type 3 Ship Fighter, referred to as "Type 3 Ship Battle". Armament: Two 7.7 mm machine guns in the nose.
The Type 13 shipboard attack aircraft is a biplane shipborne torpedo/horizontal bomber commissioned by British engineers commissioned by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, which established the Japanese Navy's shipboard attack aircraft as a three-seater aircraft, and this aircraft is light and flexible, so in addition to the Japanese Navy, it is also used by the Japanese people. Armed with a 7.7 mm machine gun in the nose + a 7.7 mm machine gun in the rear + 500 kg bombs or torpedoes.
Ouyang Yu, who had commanded the battle all night, was still asleep at this time, and was not awakened until the Japanese planes flew overhead, and she ran to the window to look up at the sky before she had time to get dressed, and sixteen Japanese fighters flew neatly in formation from the house where she was sitting.
"Oops!"
Ouyang Yu's tank company and artillery company did not have any camouflage, and the direction in which the Japanese planes were flying was aimed at the tank company and artillery company.
Ouyang Yu hurriedly turned on the war system to control the transfer of the tank company and the artillery company, but it was too late, the Japanese fighters had already discovered the tank company and the artillery company, eight Type 13 shipboard attack aircraft dropped two hundred kilogram bombs, the fragile T-26 and BT-2 tanks turned into burning torches under the fierce bombardment, and only five T-26 survived from the twenty-four tanks in one round of bombardment.
The artillery company was even more miserable, eight Type 3 ships took turns to strafe and bomb the artillery company, all the artillery of the artillery company was destroyed, the artillery and escort troops were killed and wounded dozens of people, and Ouyang Yu's two most important troops were completely lost under the Japanese fighters.
At the same time as the Japanese fighters bombed, the 23 Japanese warships also began to shell regardless of the civilian casualties, and under the bombardment of the Japanese battleships' large-caliber naval guns, the position of Ouyang Yu's army was bombarded to pieces along with the soldiers inside, and the Japanese troops on the ground took the opportunity to attack.
The situation on the front line was critical, Ouyang Yu hurriedly put on his military uniform, his beard was no longer sticky, his hair was no longer coiled, and he simply tied a single ponytail and rushed to the front line with the guards to command the battle.
Ouyang Yu opened the war system in the front-line headquarters, and on the minimap, her defense line had been broken through by the Japanese army in several places, and the places that were broken through were all places that were subjected to intensive shelling by naval artillery, and now the Japanese army was moving towards the back of Ouyang Yu's army in many places along the breakthrough point, wanting to attack from multiple sides and divide the troops surrounding her.
"Hmph, what a calculation!"
Ouyang Yu immediately ordered her troops to take the initiative to retreat and shrink the defensive line to avoid being attacked by the Japanese from all sides, and at the same time ordered the fourth battalion, which was a reserve, to go for reinforcements.
The soldiers of Ouyang Yu's army, who were fighting with the Japanese army on the front line, immediately released the smoke screen after receiving the order, and the yellow smoke screen made the attacking Japanese army mistakenly think it was poison gas, and hurriedly retreated and brought anti-poison equipment.
First Class Private Kosuke Terashima followed his squad leader, Second Lieutenant Yamada Takesashi, and while running, Second Lieutenant Yamada Takesashi suddenly fell to the ground, and Kosuke Terashima immediately helped him up, "Sir, are you okay?"
Second Lieutenant Takesashi Yamada slapped his soiled pants and trousers, bowed his head and bent down to pick up a transparent fishing line, "Fishing line? Why is there a fishing line on the road?"
He soon learned the answer, and not far from Lieutenant Yamada's side, a bomb obscured by rubble and rubble exploded, killing and injuring several others in Lieutenant Yamada's squad.
In order to block the speed of the Japanese army's advance and buy more time for his own side, Ouyang Yu ordered the troops to lay a lot of mines and mines when retreating, giving the Japanese army a head start to the pursuit, and the Japanese army had to slow down the pace of pursuit and called the sappers to move forward slowly, but Ouyang Yu would not let the Japanese army be able to clear the mines safely, and dozens of snipers were sent out by her.
Two Japanese sappers found a mine and were lying on the ground carefully clearing the mine, and a sniper of Ouyang Yujun had already topped the two Japanese sappers, and the Mauser 98K sniper rifle in his hand was aimed at the mine in the hands of the sappers.
"Phew!"
"Boom!"
The mine that had just been removed was detonated by a bullet, killing two Japanese engineers, and by the time the nearby Japanese soldiers tried to find the sniper, the sniper had already moved and laid two mines in the path of the Japanese advance.
Ouyang Yu's snipers brought great panic to the Japanese army, and along with the snipers, Ouyang Yu also sent a lot of submachine gunner squads to cooperate with the snipers to hinder the Japanese army's movements.
The submachine gunner squad, consisting of three people, took advantage of the complex ruins of the battlefield to constantly roam, seizing the opportunity to lay mines, trick mines, or ambush the Japanese troops, making the Japanese army miserable.
A submachine gunner squad lurking on the second floor of the street, the captain took out a small mirror and took a picture outside, a Japanese squad happened to pass downstairs, the captain made a few gestures, the two team members nodded to understand, the three silently took out six grenades, and pulled the grenade fuse together under the captain's order and threw it out.
"Boom, boom, boom......!"
After the six grenades exploded, the three of them got up at the same time and held Suomi submachine guns at the Japanese squad downstairs to play a drum, and after the bullets, there were a few grenades, and then they did not even confirm the results of the battle and quickly transferred, and before the Japanese squad that was attacked reacted, they had already fled.
