Duan Haiping clearly refused.

Because the current 19th Route Army needs a lot of logistics materials.

Every soldier must be fed, clothed, sheltered, and transported.

Logistics supplies contact many businesses. These businesses are inextricably linked to the Green Gang. If the Green Gang threatens these merchants not to do business with the Nineteenth Route Army, it will be very troublesome.

You can't find that many replacement merchants in the short term. This will cause a temporary gap in supply.

Therefore, Duan Haiping's suggestion is-

Watch and see what happens.

Or go find a knife club.

Take a hair of the dog that bit you.

The Knife Club and the Green Gang have always been at odds.

The Green Gang swayed from side to side.

But the knife will also have a problem, that is, it is more xenophobic.

Exclusion of all foreigners. In addition to Japanese, there are also other foreigners.

If they were given enough weapons for the knives, they might kill all the foreigners in the concession. Regardless of nationality.

"Where are the people from the Knife Society?"

"I don't know."

"Don't know?"

"They're mysterious. Knives will be hidden. ”

"Oh......"

Zhang Chu was skeptical.

turned his head to find Zhou Weiguo. I hope Zhou Weiguo is clear.

Outcome......

Zhou Weiguo wanted to speak and stopped.

"How?"

"I know is knowing, but ......"

"Say."

"My dad is a member of the Little Knife Society."

"Huh?"

Zhang Chu was unexpected.

Zhou Weiguo's father?

Oh, he's a native of Songhu. The family is well-off.

If it weren't for the invasion of the Japanese invaders, presumably Zhou Weiguo's life would not have changed so much.

…… Far from it.

"I know you're trying to replace the Green Gang with a knife. However, I advise you to dispel this thought. The knife will be more extreme than the Green Gang. There are also hidden Japanese criminals in it. Unreliable. ”

"Understood."

Zhang Chu nodded thoughtfully.

Zhou Weiguo's meaning is very clear. Even the Japanese must have infiltrated the Little Knife Society.

Using a knife will replace the Green Gang, but it is not cost-effective to go to the front door to the tiger and enter the wolf at the back door.

Tangled......

Accurate......

"Smack!"

"Smack!"

Suddenly, fierce gunfire came.

But the Japanese invaders are coming again.

Ma Xiaoyang rushed to report that the reinforcements of the Japanese invaders had come up. It's a detachment called Shigeto.

They captured two Japanese prisoners. The other party actually speaks Chinese. It is said that he was requisitioned from Taiwan Island.

"Taijima?"

Zhang Chu was thoughtful.

Something comes to mind.

That's right, this Shigedo detachment has a lot of Taiwan soldiers.

However, these Taiwanese soldiers were poisoned by the Japanese invaders and had long regarded themselves as Japanese. Do not recognize yourself as Chinese.

So......

Dispose!

Same treatment as the Japanese invaders!

Come to the front.

It was discovered that the Japanese were organizing an attack.

But without the assistance of heavy artillery, the Japanese attack was obviously weak and weak.

"Bang Bang Bang ......"

"Da Da Da ......"

The gunfire continued. But the battle was not fierce.

The Japanese are attacking. But soon stepped back.

And then......

There is no then.

The gunfire on both sides gradually fell silent.

One hour ......

Five-hour ......

The Japanese invaders didn't do anything again.

Are you waiting for reinforcements?

Is it waiting for heavy artillery?

There was speculation.

Zhang Chu suddenly came to his senses. The Japanese had actually given up the attack.

The tactics of the Japanese invaders changed.

They adopted a new tactic, which is "watching". The 19th Route Army was trapped in the Zhabei Concession, so that it could not play a greater role.

The Japanese only need to use a brigade, or a wing, to keep an eye on, and it is enough.

If the 19th Route Army left Zhabei, it would definitely be bombed by Japanese planes. Or heavy artillery shelling.

In fact, the 19th Route Army could barely leave Zhabei.

Only here is the safest.

Defensive combat is what it does best. Once switched to the offensive, the casualties will be significant.

With the defensive combat ability of the Japanese invaders, they can only fight with the Japanese invaders. Pay for one's whistle.

It's a bit of a hassle.

Actually trapped by the Japanese invaders?

It seems that it is going to open up a new battlefield. Escape the siege of the Japanese invaders.

Going to Hangzhou Bay?

Going to Jinshanwei?

For a while, I couldn't think of a better way.

In all fairness, Zhang Chu felt that he really didn't have any strategic vision. I can't think of any fairy tricks.

I had to go to Zhou Weiguo to discuss.

"We can gradually pull the small troops away." Zhou Weiguo has a way, "You only need to leave about a thousand people here." The Japanese looked at us, and we looked at them. ”

"That's right." Zhang Chu nodded thoughtfully, "Where are we going?" ”

"Hongkou."

"Oh?"

Zhang Chu's eyes were shining.

Oh yes. We cannot sit idly by.

If the Japanese can attack us, why can't we attack the Japanese invaders?

Special mother, what's polite?

Hongkou was the key point of the Japanese invaders.

It was a place that the Japanese invaders had occupied a long time ago, and the Japanese concession was nearby. There are a lot of important Japanese officials over there.

Among them was the commander of the Japanese Marine Corps.

The commander-in-chief of the Japanese army, Matsui Ishine, was also near Hongkou.

Good! Immediately organize troops and storm the Japanese Marine Corps headquarters in Hongkou.

Whether it succeeds or not, it can make the devil nervous.

Immediately find Yao Ziqing.

At all times, the Baoshan battalion was the main fighting force.

Others are also veterans, though. However, the division of labor and cooperation is not as strict as that of the Baoshan battalion.

After all, it is a system.

Another formed battalion is Ni Dong's Beida Battalion.

They took their own names.

The Northeast Army of that year was stationed in Beidaying.

Now in Songhu, they also want to use this name.

"Great!"

Yao Ziqing couldn't ask for it.

He didn't want to be beaten. Being able to take the initiative is naturally the best.

"We'll go too!"

Ni Dong volunteered.

Zhang Chu nodded. Even if you don't want to go, I'll take you with you.

Two formed battalions. More than 800 people. There's something you can do.

Others, temporarily staying in Zhabei.

"We'll go too!" Guo Qiyun took the students of the Qingpu special training class to take the initiative to ask for help.

Zhang Chu also agreed.

The trainees of the special training class are all very good sharpshooters.

They were all reloaded with sniper rifles.

In such complex street battles, sharpshooters are still very useful.

Even sporadic battles can kill a Japanese soldier with a single shot. Accumulate a lot, gather sand into a tower, and the final record is also quite impressive.

As for Hu Jiuyi, there is no need to call, he will definitely follow.

Sure enough, the troops had just begun to move, and Hu Jiuyi followed with the Red Army soldiers. seems to be Zhang Chu's follower.

Thereupon......

Fighters of the Baoshan battalion, dressed in yellow-green military uniforms.

The soldiers of the Northeast Army in Beidaying were wearing khaki uniforms.

And the Red Army soldiers were still wearing simple gray cloth uniforms. Even the red collar badge has not been replaced. Very striking.

Three completely different forces.

Three completely different teams.

Involuntarily, they are already competing with each other.

Only the Qingpu class students led by Guo Qiyun have a better mentality. Their role positioning is basically a cold shot.

Because all of them, they are armed with sniper rifles. Including Guo Qiyun.

What is the sniper rifle not used to shoot cold?

The troops marched forward in a mighty way.

It was completely a march in the concession. I'm not afraid of people from the outside world seeing it.

I'm not even afraid that the Japanese spies will see it.

Someone asked, and directly said that he was going to attack the headquarters of the Hongkou Japanese marines.

That's right, it's such a domineering side leak.

Tell you directly, I'm going to hit you.

There is a patrol.

Then turn around automatically. Pretend not to see it.

The Frenchman from the Ministry of Industry stood by the window, silently looking outside. Then rub your temples.

Damn the Chinese.

I really make the concession my home. Come when you want, go when you want?

However......

I can only pinch my nose and admit it.

No way, there are too many people on the other side. The combat power is too strong.

If there is a real fight, most of the troops in the concession will not be opponents. If you don't do it well, you may be wiped out. Then the concessions were all recovered.

What?

Diplomatic note?

Definitely.

But......

It doesn't seem to work.

It seems that the top brass of the state government does not recognize the existence of this 19th Route Army at all.

According to the reply over there, the number of the 19th Route Army has long been canceled.

To put it bluntly, these people are not under my control. You can do it yourself. It can be resolved by any means.

As for whether you have the ability to solve it, then I'm sorry, I can't control it.

I'm struggling right now......

"Yaga!"

"Nineteenth Route Army!"

"Dead, dead!"

The transmission of information from the Japanese invaders was still very fast. Immediately shocked and angry.

It was surprising that the Chinese were so arrogant and dared to attack Hongkou.

The anger is also that the Chinese are too arrogant and do not hide it at all. Is this a clear disregard for the Japanese army?

"Yaga!"

"Yaga!"

After a scolding, the Japanese marines were all on alert.

At this moment, the Japanese Navy and Marine Corps stationed in Songhu are actually the establishment of a brigade.

It has five brigades under its jurisdiction. In total, about 7,000 people.

In contrast to the average army infantry brigade, there were no heavy artillery, no tanks, and no 75-mm mountain guns. There were also no infantry artillery. Only 90-mm mortars.

Because mountain artillery and infantry artillery are the patent of the army. It is impossible to equip the sworn enemy Navy Red Deer. Not even one of them.

Therefore, the weapons and equipment of the Japanese Marine Corps must be found by themselves. In the end, it turned out that only 90-mm mortars could be obtained.

Although the naval fleet of the Japanese invaders was very strong. But the equipment of the Marine Corps, really average.

Therefore, at the beginning of the war, the Japanese marines could not resist. In the end, the army had to be invited to land. Speaking of this, the Navy is actually reluctant to do so.

Who wants to owe the Army a favor?

Baga ......

Commanding the Japanese Marines was Rear Admiral Hidenai Ueshima.

Upon hearing the news that the Chinese army was coming to attack, he immediately ordered all the marines to get ready.

This time, in any case, the Chinese army will be routed.

In any case, the army red deer cannot be allowed to see the joke again.

Damn Army Red Deer......

"Boom ......"

"Boom ......"

Suddenly, a violent explosion was heard outside.

But it was the Chinese army that began the shelling. Mortars are used. The density of shell drops is very high.

In an instant, the Japanese front-line positions were already a sea of fire.

There were some Japanese casualties.

However, the Japanese army, which had been prepared for a long time, did not seem panicked at all.

They have long been mentally prepared. The artillery fire of the Chinese, at most, supports ten minutes. After ten minutes, the Chinese shells ran out.

Without the cover of shells, the Chinese could only launch an infantry charge. Because the Chinese do not have tanks.

The Japanese army had a lot of experience in dealing with the Chinese sea of people.

All light and heavy weapons are in place.

Just waiting for the Chinese army to appear......

However......

The Chinese army has not appeared for a long time.

At least, in the field of view, a large number of Chinese troops are not seen. There are only a few that can be seen in the telescope.

Is it like an offense?

Not like.

More like observing.

"Boom, boom, boom......"

"Boom, boom, boom......"

Shells continue to fall.

Clusters of fire erupted from the Japanese position.

A large number of buildings were blown up.

Some of the Japanese fortifications that were not strong enough were blown to pieces. The number of Japanese casualties continued to rise.

But the Japanese did not panic in the slightest.

They were silently counting the time, waiting for the shelling to stop.

Ten minutes......

Soon. The shelling by the Chinese will stop soon. Their shells ran out in no time.

As a rule of thumb, ten minutes is a watershed.

Fifteen minutes......

Hey? How can there still be shelling? So many shells for the Chinese?

It seems that the Chinese army has been replenished. Shells were more plentiful. This time, the bombing lasted more than fifteen minutes.

Somewhat surprised.

But it doesn't matter. At most, it's just a few minutes longer. It will stop soon.

Twenty minutes......

Hey? The shelling hasn't stopped?

What's going on? So many shells for the Chinese?

"Boom, boom, boom......"

"Boom, boom, boom......"

Clusters of fire erupted.

A large amount of debris was blown up and flew up. Including the stumps and severed arms of the Japanese army.

Thick gunpowder smoke enveloped the entire battlefield.

"Yaga!"

A Japanese soldier was furious.

He wanted to lead his troops into attack. He didn't want to sit still.

Outcome......

As soon as he stood up, he was hit by a shell.

"Boom ......"

"Boom ......"

The Japanese Emperor fell softly.

Sloppy......

The Chinese also have shells.

"Ding......

"You blew up and killed a ...... of Japanese Kou Nakasa"

"You get a sporadic bonus: a domestic 82-mm mortar......"

"You get 3 million ......"

"You get 30,000 Ocean ......"

Information flooded into the mind.

Zhang Chu was not shocked.

It's just a Japanese servant. Not at all.

In Hongkou, the Japanese Kou Zhongzuo is at most an errand runner. There must be a general or something up there.

For example, Matsui Ishone.

This guy has the rank of general. It's the highest rank of the Japanese Army.

If you can kill ......

"What's going on?"

In fact, Matsui Ishine is indeed in Hongkou. But there is a greater distance from the battlefield.

Hearing the dense sound of cannons, Matsui Ishone couldn't help but be curious.

Is it the Chinese army that launched the counterattack?

So heavy artillery fire?

"Your Excellency General, it is the 19th Route Army of the Chinese."

"The Nineteenth Route Army that has been revoked?"

"Yes!"

The Deputy Chief of Staff replied respectfully.

Matsui didn't ask again. These are small things, and he doesn't have to deal with them.

Judging by the direction from which the sound of artillery came, the Chinese army attacked the headquarters of the Marine Corps. Over there is the territory of the navy red deer. The Army doesn't bother.

Unless it's a navy red deer that can't support it......

However, this is not possible. Because the navy red deer has been strengthened.

Intelligence shows that the strength of the Marine Corps has increased to more than 7,000 people. Even if the Chinese army sent 20,000 or 30,000 troops, it would not want to take it.

When the time comes, the army will just counter-encircle. Wipe out the Chinese army.

Of course, these are the little things.

The landing of Jinshanwei is the big thing.

This is the fundamental way to quickly resolve the Songhu battlefield.

The main task now is to ensure the smooth progress of the Shanwei landing. Then flank the Chinese army......

"Boom, boom, boom......"

"Boom, boom, boom......"

Over there, shells continued to rain down.

Zhang Chu constantly threw the mortars he received from sporadic rewards into the battlefield. The number of mortars is constantly increasing.

In the beginning, there were only nine gates.

Then there are 10, 11, 12...... Gradually increased to more than twenty doors.

So many mortars, at least more than 400 shells per minute.

As you can imagine, the number of shells consumed.

"Poof!"

"Poof!"

Airdrop packages keep falling.

It was full of mortar shells.

One package is 500 rounds. Can only play for one minute.

But that's okay!

Keep playing!

Just now he killed the Japanese Kou Zhongzuo, and the income was 3 million. You can exchange it for 200,000 shells. Completely affordable.

"Boom, boom, boom......"

"Boom, boom, boom......"

The Japanese feel like a year. Life is better than death.

The shelling lasted for twenty minutes, and there were more than 10,000 shells, right? Still fighting?

Try to calm yourself.

Calm......

Calm......

The Chinese are already at the end of the crossbow. It is impossible to last long.

However......

Thirty minutes......

The shelling continues.

"Boom, boom, boom......"

"Boom, boom, boom......"

Forty minutes later, the shelling continued.

Fifty minutes later, the shelling continued.

An hour......

The shelling continues.

"Boom, boom, boom......"

"Boom, boom, boom......"

The Japanese positions were bombed over and over again. I don't know how many times I've been ravaged repeatedly.

Many Japanese soldiers were killed. The rest is also a blank in mind.

"Yaga ......"

The Japanese are starting to break down a bit.

Why hasn't the shelling stopped?

Although the mortar is not very powerful. However, such repeated bombing was also fatal to the Japanese army!

Because all the Japanese invaders are in combat positions. There was no dodge at all.

I don't feel the need to hide. Hold on and it's over.

Now it's found out wrong.

The constant bombardment of mortars is also very terrifying.

Especially for more than an hour, there is no sign of stopping. Even if they weren't killed, they would have been buried alive.

In fact, at this moment, the Japanese position is already in shambles.

What to do?

What to do?

Ueshima Einai was anxious and angry.
