After the brothers ate and drank all night, they started packing their equipment at noon the next day.
The next goal is to seize the Japanese base in Hongkou and drive the Japanese base to the other side of the Huangpu River.
The Japanese Army base in Hongkou is stationed with a brigade of the Army, and there is also a Marine brigade of the Japanese Navy.
This is equivalent to the fact that there are about 20,000 Japs in Hongkou.
"Zhang Lixian led his people to cut off the reinforcement line to Hongkou. As for the rest of Long Wenwen, I will leave it to you. Just maintain the status quo."
Nan Beichen just talked about a rough strategic position. As for how to implement it, why are so many staff officers working for a living?
Each staff department will start to deduce their own troop deployment on the sand table, and at the same time assign tasks to each company.
This is like a flag in a military exercise. You seem to be commanding a flag, but this flag represents the fighting of hundreds of people, and their participation is not required in grassroots battles.
But the overall situation of the battlefield must be controlled well, otherwise it will be easy to be surrounded, divided and eaten.
This time, it's time to let the little devil see the armored force.
The next morning!
As soon as the genius turned white, the two artillery battalions were already in position and ready to fire artillery shells.
Boom boom boom! Boom boom boom!
Countless artillery shells came like rain towards the little devil's position.
A large number of positions were destroyed in an instant.
The number of casualties in just three rounds of artillery fire reached more than 200.
This can be said to be a heavy casualty for the Japanese.
On the dilapidated position, the Japs were busy reinforcing it. These were the Japs who were still alive.
Suddenly the ground shook. I stopped what I was doing and looked at the good guy. Two Panzer IV tanks roared over.
These are two Type IV H tanks. The Sherman M4 was able to dominate the enemy in 1944.
The Type IV H tank in front of us is even more gigantic.
You must know that the No. 4 H-type front armor has been increased to 80 mm.
It would be impossible to destroy it with the enemy's firepower.
boom! boom!
Two 75mm high-explosive bombs exploded on the Japanese position.
After the smoke and dust passed, the remaining Japanese soldiers were trembling.
This kind of firepower is obviously not something they can compete with.
"Back off! Back off!"
The Japanese had no choice but to retreat when facing the steel behemoth.
Infantry-tank coordinated combat is something that has been practiced in recruit training camps.
If you want to survive on the battlefield, you have to ensure the safety of the tank. At the same time, the tank will provide you with powerful firepower to eliminate threats.
Every soldier of the New Seventh Army knows that fighting artillery and tanks will lead to death.
Therefore, every soldier stands ready beside the tank, and anyone who dares to get close will be shot.
Even the corpses in front of the roadside will be shot in advance. A few more shots will prevent the tank from detonating the explosive package after pressing on it.
So I pushed it all the way.
"Itai!"
A Japanese artillery lieutenant commanded a 75mm mountain gun and was constantly counterattacking.
Each shout fires a 75mm shell.
Mountain artillery does not have penetrating power, so it does not have much effect on tanks, but the infantry around the tanks will suffer.
"300 meters ahead, there is a Japanese military mountain cannon! Prepare high-explosive bombs!"
The commander looked at the Japanese mountain cannon in front and immediately ordered.
The loader quickly took out a 75mm high-explosive bomb and stuffed it directly into the barrel.
boom!
With a loud noise, a 75mm high-explosive bomb flew directly towards the Japanese mountain cannon.
The Japs' ammunition hand was directly killed by two people.
The Japanese artillery lieutenant also had an arm blown off, but he was not dead yet.
The artillery can still be used.
"Reload! Reload quickly!"
The Japanese artillery lieutenant roared hysterically.
Da da da! Da da da!
The vehicle-mounted machine gun and coaxial machine gun on the No. 4 tank opened fire directly.
The dense bullets instantly tore apart the body of the Japanese artillery lieutenant.
Like a kite with its string cut off, the Japanese artillery lieutenant lay limp on the ground and breathless.
"superior!"
Wang Mo, who had been promoted to company commander, directed the soldiers to advance, and at the same time dispatched a platoon of troops to cover the tank's advance.
"Company Commander, the Japanese have a bunker ahead. It looks like it's made of reinforced concrete, and there's also a combat anti-aircraft gun. It's not easy to get past!"
The reason why there is a combat anti-cannon is because the No. 1 tank equipped by the German armorer last year almost missed the Japanese headquarters.
That's why combat anti-cannons are deployed here, but isn't it a joke that these 37mm combat anti-cannons can deal with the Panzer IV tank?
"Let the tanks advance, and the rest of the people will follow behind! How can we be stopped by just a bunker and a small anti-tank gun?"
Wang Mo urged.
"yes!"
Mason nodded in response.
Then he greeted his soldiers and started to move forward.
In a bunker in the middle of the road, there was a Type 92 heavy machine gun and two Type 96 light machine guns.
The Japanese have also begun to know how to replace their machine guns with useful ones. Such an important position can easily be approached by a Type 92 heavy machine gun.
Therefore, two Type 96 light machine guns are needed for assistance. These are the ZB-26 Czech light machine guns copied by the Japanese.
Because the magazine is designed to be curved, it is called a light machine gun with a crooked handle, and there is also a light machine gun with a crooked handle.
Although these Japanese junks are not very good, they are better than nothing.
Dense bullets were fired continuously at the soldiers of the New Seventh Army.
The little devils in the trenches nearby were also pulling 38-type rifles to fight back.
At the same time, there were two Type 92 infantry guns firing from behind.
Wang Mo ordered the artillerymen to push the artillery and shoot at the enemy's artillery on the opposite side to see who was stronger.
At the same time, the tank moved forward, and immediately launched an artillery fire after entering the little devil's sight.
boom!
A 37mm stepping stone hit directly in front of the Panzer IV.
There was a sound of metal hitting, but it was of no use.
"Baga! How could this happen!"
After looking at the tank that had no losses, the Japanese looked horrified.
"Load and keep shooting!"
He didn't care about this 37mm stepping stone Panzer IV. The artillery aimed at the bunker and shot through it with one shot.
The armor-piercing power of the 75mm L48 cannon, even for ordinary artillery shells, is not for show.
With one shot, the bunker set up by the Japanese in the middle of the road was destroyed.
The No. 4 tank behind them destroyed the Japanese's ray of hope with one shot.
The only 37mm anti-tank gun was directly blown into scrap metal.
In the Hongkou base, a Japanese major general had a lot of sweat on his forehead.
Although the weather is relatively hot, it is not like this.
Bad news came one after another.
This is really bad news for the Japanese.
The outer positions have been removed one after another.
There was no resistance at all, because the news came that the stagnant army had heavy tanks.
A tank of more than 20 tons is considered a heavy tank by the Little Devils.
