Chapter 214: Evolution

Now that they had decided to make a move, the Japanese who led the team knew very well that they had no reinforcements in Nanshi, so they had to fight fast and do their best to quickly eat the 200 Chinese soldiers who were in this position.

Whether this is a trap in itself or not, whether the Chinese called for reinforcements, there were already Chinese troops stationed on the riverbank line in Nanshi.

Once dragged into a bitter battle, they will most likely stay here.

Therefore, the Chinese army trucks drove only one kilometer on the edge of the rental area, and a large truck driven by the Japanese drove out of the street horizontally, and on both sides of the street were residential houses, a straight road, and the street blocked the direction of the material convoy.

Japanese plainclothes soldiers quickly jumped out of the car, took out their spears and attacked the truck directly with the help of shelter settings such as house pillars.

What's more, the Japanese soldiers were lying in the middle of the truck and firing fiercely at the convoy with machine guns that had already been set up.

The Chinese convoy was then forced to stop.

And their remaining seven large trucks also quickly approached the left flank of the Chinese convoy at this time.

Someone jumped down and was responsible for shooting, someone was responsible for dropping sandbags and other items that had been prepared from a large truck, and Liso began to build defenses on the spot.

Not one side, but in a circle, ready to guard against possible Chinese reinforcements behind you.

In this operation, it was estimated that the Chinese army might have an ambush, and the original configuration of two teams of 100 people was directly upgraded to five teams of 250 people.

And they weren't the civilian guys with short guns in the Intelligence Group, but the elite Marines in plainclothes.

For war, that's their area of expertise.

The firepower is unusually ferocious.

After the opposing Chinese convoy was forced to stop, the soldiers on the car also jumped out of the car in an orderly manner, looked for defense facilities on the spot, and launched a counterattack on the spot.

With intelligence in front, everyone has long been prepared for short-handed combat, and the situation at this moment is just the fulfillment of intelligence, and the Japanese firepower is fierce, but not panicked.

And they also have reinforcements.

Fighting broke out at this moment, on a street flanked by low-rise residential buildings.

The head and tail are blocked by big trucks on both sides, and there may be no U-turn at all.

The bullets roar and the battle pushes straight into the climax!

Fierce gunfire was fired, and the Japanese 250 men crushed the number of 200 people, and they had a great advantage in firepower from the beginning.

And after the rapid arrival of 200 reinforcements nearby, the Japanese began to enter a state of attacking on both sides and fighting on both sides.

The fierce offensive of the first Chinese troops was suspended, but the Japanese were still brave and fearless to spew ferocious flames.

The disadvantages of this army formed by Boss Dai were soon revealed, compared with the formed regular army of the Japanese, the new army composed of special agents, police and other professions, the difference in frontal combat effectiveness between the Japanese was not half a point.

Rao is 400 people to 250 people, and he does not have any advantage at all.

That's when something really changed the situation.

When the Japanese saw that the reinforcements of the Chinese army were only 200 people, and they were fighting happily, they suddenly heard a roar, and then they looked up and saw things falling from the sky.

Boom.

The mortars of the river defense army have arrived!

A shell fell in the Japanese defensive circle, and the heavy fire that was still being sprayed just now turned directly into a tumbling corpse.

Houses were blown down and fortifications were flattened.

The cannon roared, and the faces of the people in the concession who listened changed one after another.

The Anglo-American corporation did not expect that the convoy had just left the concession for a while, and the war had already begun.

And the Japanese command team stranded in the concession did not expect that the support of the Chinese would come so quickly and so completely, to the extent of using firepower and artillery!

The commanding team changed their faces and immediately contacted Kojiro Takeda at the Navy Headquarters.

Takeda Kojiro took the case, although the configuration of 250 people is large, although the personnel are elite, but once they are pulled with the Chinese, the final result must be the total annihilation.

"These idiots! It's time to go down the drain and feed the pigs' brains! I let them look for fighters, look for opportunities to grab items, not let them go to war with the Chinese army head-on! ”

Takeda Kojiro was furious, the intelligence officer still had a little brain, this gang of soldiers is simply war maniac, heroic is heroic, but he means let them go lurking, go to sneak attack, go to play a ghost, make the Chinese fearful, not fight head-on.

If you want to fight head-on, what are you sending them for?

But at this point, we can only do everything we can to win.

Otherwise, he, Takeda Kojiro, as the instigator, would bury the lives of the imperial soldiers, and he would be doomed to be guilty.

"Send a message to the Intelligence Group, let them go to the back, go up!"

Kojiro Takeda must buy all the time, and must not let these 250 imperial soldiers die in the hands of the Chinese.

After the order, Kojiro Takeda immediately called the staff of the Navy Command to report the matter, and after a short communication, he quickly went to the headquarters to report in person.

In the headquarters of the Shanghai Dispatch Army, as Kojiro Takeda exaggerated the amount of medicine obtained by the Chinese army from the concession and the importance and necessity of the battle, coupled with the full help of Toshio Hirata, who was in the same boat.

The Japanese staff officers quickly pushed on the sand table and immediately made a decision.

One after another, the Japanese warships on the Huangpu River moved.

The artillery bombardment of the Zhabei area stopped, and the warships moved closer in the direction of Nanshi, followed by a heavy artillery bombardment of the entire Nanshi urban area, with the focus on the direction of the river defense troops.

Under the attack of artillery fire, a wing of the Japanese army carried by the ships began to prepare for a landing operation.

This scene stunned the principal's Third Theater Command.

"Why did the little devil suddenly shell Nanshi?"

No one in the headquarters knew what was happening in Nanshi, but they knew that there was much less artillery fire in Zhabei at the moment, so they asked people to ask immediately, and at the same time seized this opportunity to attack the Japanese army in Zhabei.

The place where the battle took place was not far from the concession, and the accurate information returned only a moment, and after learning the reason for the battle in Nanshi, the staff of the 3rd theater of operations quickly decided.

Nearby troops were dispatched to provide support, and the Air Force was contacted to prepare for the bombing of Japanese ships.

All of a sudden, the situation broke away from the original expectation and began to expand.

Combat Street in Minami City.

After mortar shells fell from the sky, the Japanese plainclothes squad postponed their aggressive offensive and tactically chose to disperse and hide in many houses to avoid greater casualties.

The advantage of urban warfare is that there are many houses, and although a few mortars of the river defense troops pose a threat to their survival, it is absolutely impossible to eat them in one bite due to insufficient firepower.

And after the ship's artillery fire fell on many areas of Nanshi, they also knew that there were reinforcements, so they began to fight back more stubbornly.

The 100-man squad of the Japanese intelligence group drove to the battlefield in a small car after receiving the order, they were not far from their position, and because neither side dared to burn the flames of war to the concession, this way was peaceful, and they rarely suffered from the baptism of artillery fire, so they were able to quickly join the battle.

The support of the Jiangfang troops had already arrived nearby, and in the face of the heavy fire of the Japanese ships covering the urban area of Nanshi, they could only delay the attack, gather the mortars and choose to take refuge temporarily, and choose to raid with manpower.

This area was full of bullets, and the dense sound of bullets was incessant.

Elsewhere, the entire city of Nanshi was suffering from the baptism of artillery fire.

The Japanese ships were getting closer to the river in Nanshi, and a company of Japanese sergeants prepared to land for battle.

The remaining troops on the river defense deployed a counterattack after suffering artillery fire, aimed their guns at the ships on the river, and immediately opened fire.

The 5th Air Force Group at Jianqiao Airport received a telegram that 18 Hawk 3 fighters quickly took off, carrying 500-pound bombs and soaring into the sky towards Shanghai.

It only took 20 minutes to reach the Huangpu River, and then launched a dive on the Japanese warship.

The 500-pound bomb fell in a volley and landed on the side of the ship, and the explosion exploded with a bang, stirring up a column of water that soared into the sky.

The Japanese troops on the warship hurriedly used anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns to return fire, but the Chinese pilots continued to attack in the rain of bullets, and one bomb after another fell one after another, exploding in the tail of the enemy ship, thick smoke billowing and flames soaring into the sky.

The enemy ship was heavily damaged, and the outcome of the capsizing could not be changed.

The fighter planes on the Japanese aircraft carrier attacked violently, and the two sides immediately began an air battle.

The soldiers of the wing on the rest of the Japanese ships seized the time and began a forced landing operation, while the river defense troops began a handover with them.

Chinese reinforcements along the Zhaojiabang line arrived, joined the combat streets, and launched an encirclement and suppression of the Japanese plainclothes team.

The battle was too fierce, and everywhere it was fierce.

The foreigners in the fierce concession were stunned, and Boss Dai was also stunned.

"Why is there such a big movement?"

At this moment, he and Zeng Haifeng were staying in the concession, and when they heard the sound of cannons, they didn't know how the situation had developed to such a point.

Takeda Kojiro was frightened, so he could say that he had moved the staff, but the Chinese's counterattack came a little quickly, and how the battle in Minami City would develop was completely out of his control, and now he could only pray for a good result.

In view of the situation, the Japanese Shanghai Dispatch Army Headquarters continued to make demands for increasing the shelling of ships and sending more planes, striving to shoot down a few more Chinese planes and eliminate the results of the Jiang Defense Artillery Regiment.

In view of the current situation, the Third Theater Command issued an order to continue to increase troops, and at the same time launched a fierce attack on the Japanese army in Zhabei, in order to achieve the effect of encircling Wei to save Zhao and allowing the Japanese ships to return to defense.

Zhou Qinghe was in the HK area, and observed that some of the remaining Japanese troops disembarked from the port of Hongkou and took ships, intending to support the battle in Nanshi by virtue of the advantage of distance.

Originally, he only planned to kill a few Japanese to help the fun, but thinking that the current situation was chaotic, this was a godsend, so he contacted Liu Kai and asked him to find Boss Dai.

"Most of the intelligence officers of the Naval Intelligence Division have been transferred, and some of the defenders have also been transferred, good opportunity! Let Boss Dai find someone to lurk in Hongkou and blow up the Japanese medicine warehouse. ”

If you don't blow it up now, when will you wait!

What you want is to fish in troubled waters.

Liu Kai tried to contact Boss Dai, and Boss Dai's eyes lit up when he heard it.

"Don't say it, it's a great opportunity."

To put it bluntly, the lead of everything is because of cholera, because of medicine, they can no longer intervene in the battle in Nanshi, but the medicine in the HK district will be destroyed sooner or later.

When the Japanese lose their medicines, they will really get into big trouble.

"Contact Zhang Junshuo and ask him to bring someone there."

Boss Dai immediately ordered his subordinates to find Zhang Junshuo and the warehouse location provided by Zhou Qinghe to achieve accurate blasting.
