There was constant sound of artillery, intensive gunfire, smoke billowing over the city of Shanghai, and the earth couldn't help but tremble.
On February 2, the Japanese army urgently mobilized two additional aircraft carriers, twelve warships of various types, and more than 7,000 marines from China arrived in Shanghai, greatly replenishing their strength. The next morning, the Japanese army brazenly violated the armistice agreement and violently
After shelling the Wusong Fortress of our navy, we suddenly launched an attack on the 19th Route Army positions on the Zhabei front line.
Soon, the war spread, with fierce fighting taking place from the Wanguo Stadium in the north to the north bank of the Wusong River in the east of Zhenru Town in the south. It was originally thought that the 19th Route Army wearing camouflage new military uniforms was the Japanese army directly affiliated with the Central Army. From the firepower and combat
After correctly judging the situation, we immediately stepped up our offensive efforts.
Three hours later, the tenacious soldiers of each brigade of the 19th Route Army repelled three Japanese attacks, leaving more than a thousand Japanese corpses in front of the position and paying the price of nearly 2,000 casualties.
Due to the correct judgment of the headquarters, from the feedback intelligence spread outside the Japanese military camps and at various docks, it was expected that the Japanese army with heavy casualties would not be able to fight again within a few hours. The soldiers of the three brigades who had been serving as reserves successfully fought against the vigilance and fought hard for several more nights.
Within hours, the warriors changed defenses, and nearly a thousand wounded were carried to the rear to receive treatment from An Yi's medical team. Those with serious injuries were promptly transported to the Huangzhen Field Hospital.
However, although the large-scale fighting has stopped, the sound of gunfire between the guarding officers and soldiers of both sides can still be heard from time to time in the position.
An Yi, Cai Tingkai, Tan Qixiu, Ou Shounian and other generals of the 19th Route Army stood on the roof platform of the Zhenxi Water Plant, holding up binoculars to observe in detail the fighting area where the gunshots came from.
Not far from the south side of the building, there was noisy people and flying dust. A stretcher carrying the wounded was quickly carried onto the car. Groups of soldiers in ragged clothes and covered in gunpowder smoke drove tiredly to the rear to rest, carrying damaged machine guns and turrets.
The mules and horses that hit the cannon barrel were breathing heavily, and streams of white mist came out of their nostrils. In addition to the chaos,
There were footsteps, commands, gasps and the neighing of horses, and not a single complaint about being tired was heard. Although the short stature of the 19th Route Army brothers did not have a handsome appearance or elegant conversation, they were even unrecognizable.
They are different characters, but all of them have the determination and courage to serve the motherland and fight to the end.
An Yi put down the telescope and sighed slightly, and Chief of Staff Tan Qixiu's angry voice sounded: "I'm going to shame his mother! The enemy relied on their rifles to hit far and accurately, and they actually suppressed our brothers so much that they didn't dare to raise their heads. In less than five minutes, they were
They hit seven people, I threw his mother, the mortar——"
An Yi quickly picked up the telescope and looked to the southeast. He happened to see the shooter on the enemy's position firing, knocking down a soldier in our position who was carrying an ammunition box on his shoulder and just ran through the gap in the trench. Just as he was about to take back the telescope,
I also saw something strange behind the enemy shooter. There were actually two reporters wearing Japanese military uniforms who raised their cameras and kept filming.
Cai Tingkai and others also saw the camera at this time. They were so angry at the Japanese arrogance that they blurted out a string of curses in Cantonese. An Yi quickly stopped Tan Qixiu's plan to bombard the enemy with mortars, turned to Shen Fengdao behind him, and whispered some instructions
, then said to Cai Tingkai, Tan Qixiu and others:
"Wait a minute, you can't shell at this time. The positions occupied by the Japanese army are very strong. They are either broken walls of the factory buildings or reconstructed on the basis of the original stone drainage ditch. After a few shots, they failed to hit them and ran away again. I have ordered behind me
The special agent leader Fang Pengxiang brought a company brother over, and everyone came to fight to see who was more unlucky. General Tan, please order your soldiers to assist us."
"Okay! I was just about to meet brother An's secret service team." Tan Qixiu walked to the edge of the platform and shouted a few words to the people below. As soon as he turned back, he turned back again and asked the people below to bring up some stools.
Three American medium-sized trucks with their cab tops and compartment panels removed were covered with tree branches and drove quickly towards the forward position. When they were about 1.5 kilometers away from the position, they suddenly turned around without slowing down. More than 80 well-equipped soldiers
Under the personal leadership of the regiment leader Fang Pengxiang, the special forces jumped out of the vehicle. After a few ups and downs, they disappeared at the entrance of the traffic trench. The three trucks returned quickly amid Japanese machine gun fire.
"Good kung fu! Sharp enough! Good driving skills and fast movements. He is indeed an elite soldier and a strong general!" Ou Shounian's eyes lit up and he praised loudly. He was unwilling to sit down when the staff put a low stool behind him.
An Yi and Ye Cheng had already seen each other frequently. After a few words of humility, they took the stool and sat down. Just when he was about to raise the telescope and continue to observe the battle, An Yi felt something strange. He turned around and found that An Jin had come upstairs at some time.
Now, he was standing behind him, looking at him with a pleading look on his face.
An Yi frowned: "Why are you so mysterious? Just say it and fart when you have something to say, acting like a girl!"
An Jin grinned and begged in a low voice: "Brother, how about I go and play too? I haven't shot a live target for a long time, and my hands are itching unbearably! You don't know how irritating I was just now, the old man yelled after receiving the order.
, looking like he was more awesome than me. When the grandson walked in front of the younger brother, he deliberately raised his square head and laughed three times in a row. I was so angry that I was dying...Brother, just let me go once.
Okay, okay?"
Just when An Yi was about to put on a straight face and curse, he saw Cai Tingkai and others looking over with interest. He felt embarrassed at the moment, shook his head, and began to introduce to everyone:
"This is my brother An Jin, the deputy of the 44th Division's Special Agent Battalion. He's just messing around here without preparing for war. What nonsense! Don't be the same as him!"
"An Jin? Wait...I remember. He was the number one sharpshooter in the Sixth Period of Huangpu. He demonstrated his marksmanship to envoys and military attachés from various countries many times and won numerous reputations. He participated in the Northern Expedition before entering the school and was famous for killing more than ten generals of the Beiyang warlords.
In the whole army, after the Northern Expedition, he was promoted to captain of the independent division's special task force. He made three meritorious service while in school and was promoted to lieutenant colonel. He is only twenty-one years old now, right?" Cai Tingkai asked with beaming eyebrows.
An Yi naturally knew that An Jin was well-known among the military in the past two years. Since he had appeared many times in the Central Military Academy, most of the military generals knew him, so it was not surprising that Cai Tingkai recognized him. He smiled and said proudly:
"He is this brat. Although he has made many meritorious deeds, he still has the temper of a child and doesn't know what the world is up to. He makes everyone laugh."
Tan Qixiu came over and asked with interest: "Lieutenant Colonel An, how about you show us your skills?"
"General, my subordinates would like to, but my brother...our commander won't allow it." An Jin lowered his head and replied shyly.
An Yi laughed, waved his hand and said: "Since you want to go, then go ahead, but there is no car to take you up. It is 4.2 kilometers away from the frontier. By the time you get there, Captain Fang and the others may have finished their work.
Already."
"Ah! You agreed?" An Jin's eyes shone with excitement.
"Promise, but I will only give you forty minutes. Once the forty minutes are up, no matter whether you are satisfied or not, we have to go back to the headquarters to fill our stomachs. Captain Fang and the others have to come back on time!" An Yi said haha,
I thought to myself, what should I do with your kid?
"As you command!"
An Jin jogged two steps, jumped onto the sandbag next to the platform, jumped off the four-meter-high platform amidst the exclamations of everyone, rolled after landing, stood up, threw away the helmet and ran, returning a hand with one hand. Holding tightly on the butt of the sniper rifle behind him, he ran for more than 40 meters and suddenly flew up, knocking the captain of the military police of the 19th Route Army who was maintaining order from his horse. He lay on the horse's back and tightened the reins, turned over and stood up steadily. He sat down, turned his horse's head, roared loudly, and charged towards the forward position. This series of dazzling actions ended in less than a minute, leaving the generals and more than a thousand brothers below dumbfounded.
"Sharp! Each one is sharper than the other. Brother An has hidden dragons and crouching tigers. No wonder he can win no matter how hard he fights! Now I suddenly feel sad for Li Delin, Feng Huanzhang and the others. With opponents like An Jiajun, no wonder they have been defeated in a row!" Tan Qixiu sighed repeatedly! , all the generals sighed in admiration.
"Thank you! Thank you!"
After An Yi was polite, he turned around, looked at Shen Feng with a smile on his face and said, "That brat actually learned how to fly over the roof and walk over the wall. Did you teach him?"
"It's none of my business. His equestrian master is Huzi, and his marksmanship master is Lao Li. This fierceness probably comes from the true legacy of Lao Ding. I only taught him a few Sanshou moves." Shen Fengdao shook his head and replied in a low voice.
Ye Cheng, who was on the side, knew the weight of Shen Fengdao's words. Looking at An Jin, who was almost invisible, he said with emotion: "I have to admit, this kid is a talent! He has such courage and resourcefulness at the age of twenty-one. ,Are we half as smart as he was when we were twenty-one?"
"It's all due to war!"
An Yi sighed softly, picked up the telescope and looked at the position ahead.
Fang Pengxiang, who was holding a handleless machine gun, knelt on one leg at the three intersections of the front trenches and clearly gave a few secret signals with his hands. More than 80 elite troops immediately divided into two groups and quickly ran to the left and right trenches.
Fang Pengxiang whispered a few words to the three snipers who came to him. One of the snipers took his observer and quietly moved fifteen meters to the left. He observed for a moment through the gap under the sandbags and signaled his assistant to follow. , squatting silently for two meters, and slipped out from a gap where smoke was still coming out. Fang Pengxiang led another sniper to the right for more than 20 meters, and was blown away in one place. Half of the bunker was blown away. He stopped at a trench with a smoking tree trunk, slowly stretched out his head, looked carefully with a telescope, and whispered:
"Lian Mao is ready, there are two machine gunners at one o'clock, the distance is 320, the wind is 2, the main shooter has a clear target. After a group of gunshots are fired, you can use it freely."
"clear!"
A group of snipers had already crawled forward, climbed behind a broken low wall, quietly took off the scope cover, listened carefully to the groups of data continuously reported by the observer behind them, pulled the bolt, and pressed in a bright yellow bullet. The bullet was dotted with the black paint commonly used for special explosive bullets, the bolt was pushed up, and the gun was aimed silently.
Behind a broken stone pillar more than 230 meters away, two Japanese photographers, accompanied by a Japanese captain, kept taking pictures through the pillars and round holes in the stone wall. The machine made several soft "quacking" sounds. After a reel of film was used up, the photographer exhaled a sigh of satisfaction and straightened up habitually. Just as the captain was about to reach out and pull him down, a clear gunshot sounded. The photographer's cap flew away together with his hat, and his bones were broken. The sound of "chichi" and the "chichi" sound of blood spurting scared the captain to roll on the spot. Another photographer opened his mouth and stepped forward to help his companion who had lost half of his head. After a gunshot, his head was also like It was shattered like a watermelon by a punch.
"Ta da...ta da da...ta da...boom——"
The sound of machine gunfire and the explosion of mortar shells suddenly rang out, covering up the screams of the Japanese troops on the position more than 300 meters away. The powerful attack of dozens of elite special forces companies was far beyond what ordinary troops could match, and it was not without any impact.
The prepared Japanese army could bear it.
Fang Pengxiang saw that all the machine gunners at the opposite fire point had been shot down. He turned around and called out to the squad leader. The squad leader rushed over, listened closely, nodded, dropped the machine gun and jumped out of the trench without hesitation, rushing like a galloping horse.
Crossing the battle line where bullets were flying, they passed in front of the photographer who had just been shot dead in one breath.
He leaned against the stone wall and looked at the corpses on the ground. When he heard the messy footsteps, he pulled out his pistol and jumped up. He fired continuously in the air, rolled to the ground, and picked up the man with the short tripod attached.
Camera, shot and knocked down the two Japanese soldiers who were rushing towards me, took a step back, and turned over to get out of the bunker.
Fang Pengxiang just breathed a sigh of relief and ordered the three machine guns on both sides to cover. Unexpectedly, the squad leader holding the camera stopped, turned over and jumped into the bunker he had just escaped from. Fang Pengxiang was stunned, and then angrily cursed this madman Shi,
In the blink of an eye, Madman Shi jumped out of the trench, with a Japanese saber stuck on his back. The long braid was flying up and down as Madman Shi ran in a zigzag pattern.
"Well done! At least more than 40 enemy troops were eliminated. Almost all of them were killed with one shot, and all of them had their heads shot. It was amazing!" Tan Qixiu praised loudly.
"The artillery fire is accurate, the artillery fire blooms, and the results are everywhere!"
"One body is full of courage, one body is full of courage..."
An Yi saw Madman Shi successfully rushing into his own trench, and his hanging heart was finally relieved. His face was ashen, and he turned a deaf ear to the praise around him. He stood up angrily, turned to Shen Fengdao and said:
"Go and find out who that idiot is? I'm going to punish him! He's so proud that he wants to kill other brothers? Damn it, Fang Pengxiang is nothing. He's been locked up since he came back!"
"yes."
"Hey! Brother An, wait!"
Ou Shounian was relatively close to An Yi. Hearing An Yi's angry scolding, he quickly came up to intercede: "The brother who just risked his life to grab the camera is a hero! That commander Fang commanded well and achieved outstanding results.
They are all rare and brave generals, and they are not yet rewarded with promotions, so why should I punish them?"
"Brother District, according to the combat discipline of our army, they did make a mistake! Although they achieved great results in this battle, doing so increased the danger unnecessarily, which means that it may cause unnecessary casualties. This sudden attack
The faster the strike, the better. If you delay for even a second, unpredictable dangers may occur.
Take the performance of the guy just now, if he is hit by the enemy, the brothers will definitely go all out to save him, even if it is a corpse, they have to snatch it back. In this way, other brothers are likely to follow him
Let's die together, so I can't blame him for his meritorious deeds
Forgive him... Yes, I will naturally reward him for his meritorious service, but if he blatantly violates disciplines and orders, I will also severely punish him. Even if the merits and demerits are not equal, I will keep him in confinement for a few days.
Let him reflect on his behavior." An Yi explained patiently.
Ou Shounian shook his head: "Brother An's military order is really...well, Brother Yu dare not interfere, but Brother Yu asked to see the warrior later."
"No, everyone can see and praise, except that person. He will be taken away by my military police as soon as he comes back. Otherwise, he will be complacent and not know where his mistakes are. If he continues to make mistakes in the future, please ask Brother District
Forgive me!" An Yi refused without hesitation.
Only then did Ou Shounian see An Yi's military management methods, and he sighed frequently and said nothing.
"Enemy planes - all concealed -"
"withdraw--"
Under the protection of the guards, the generals quickly went downstairs and rushed to the bunker at the rear. As soon as they entered the hidden underground space, the noise of the planes in the sky gradually became smaller. Everyone looked at each other, came to the air vent one after another, and raised their binoculars to take a look:
The enemy plane did not fly above us, but made a big turn in the northeast and flew towards the Wusong Fortress.
Everyone could not help but breathe a sigh of relief, but suddenly they became worried about the naval officers and soldiers of the fortress. After being intensively bombarded by large-caliber naval guns from numerous enemy ships in the morning, the Wusong Fortress had more than 120 casualties and casualties, with only two fortresses left.
The cannon was still usable, but now it was bombed by enemy planes again. It seemed that the fortress was not far from complete collapse.
The generals walked out of the bunker after taking the lead. They saw An Yi and Ye Cheng leading the way, quickly rushing to the side of the dirt bag, raising their telescopes and looking motionlessly in the northeast direction. They couldn't help but feel very strange, and they all came forward to ask. An Yi remained motionless.
He replied with a dull look: The direction of Wusong is the defense area of our 44th Division. If the fortress is gone, they will have to fill it in. When the generals heard this, they felt heavy and raised their telescopes to observe quietly.
The loud sound of aerial bombs came one after another. Three enemy planes brazenly dropped bombs around the Wusong Fortress. The other two escort planes ignored their security missions and joined the ranks of volleys. Thick smoke evaporated and quickly covered the air.
the northeastern sky.
Suddenly, more than a dozen bursts of gunpowder smoke appeared in the sky in the east direction, followed by the intensive firing of anti-aircraft artillery. Only then did everyone wake up and guess that An Yi's 44th Division must have prepared the anti-aircraft artillery in advance.
When we got there, we all looked up excitedly.
"Hit-"
A bomber flying very low and not very fast was hit by anti-aircraft fire before it could turn around in a large circle to the west. It dragged black smoke and plunged towards the Yangtze River in the north. Another bomber had just finished dropping its bombs.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the bomber immediately soared high, and was accurately hit again before it could turn out of the range of the artillery fire. The aircraft disintegrated in the air, making a huge explosion, with red flames and thick black smoke shooting up, and the entire Shanghai was shaken.
shock.
In the small woods next to Chenjia Lane in the southwest of Baoshan Town, Gu Changfeng danced with excitement. He hugged Tu Zhirong, the commander of the air defense battalion, and spun him around twice:
"You're just waiting to be promoted to colonel! You are indeed a graduate from Germany! Haha... Brothers, get in the car and run away——"
Tu Zhirong, who was polite and elegant and wore a pair of myopic glasses, got up from the ground, straightened his helmet, and screamed loudly: "Everyone get on the bus! Retreat according to the original route, quickly! Retreat quickly, otherwise you will suffer..."
Six anti-aircraft twin artillery trucks were divided into two groups and quickly drove out of the woods. Led by two medium-sized command vehicles, they quickly drove across the Nongqian River Stone Bridge and immediately accelerated westward. When the people along the way saw the convoy running lifelessly, they
Looking at the still undissipated smoke from the aircraft explosion in the sky, I couldn't figure out what was going on for a while.
