Chapter 61
Amid the earth-shaking terrifying sound of cannons, both the national army and the highest commander of the Japanese army on the Songhu front were all mobilizing troops with a serious expression.
The Japanese heavy artillery continued to launch crazy shelling towards the land forces of the National Army. The heavy naval guns seemed to be worthless, and were falling from the sky in a large area...
The sound of guns and cannons was deafening, and the dense rain of bullets and artillery fire completely reflected the entire sky, from morning to night.
Amid the shrill howling and heart-wrenching shouts; the Japanese army's shelling of the earth and the crazily guns and cannons shooting like a storm, batches of Guangdong soldiers who were deploying defense along the coast instantly lost their lives and lay in their pool of blood.
The streets and alleys of the Songhu War Zone were brand new and newly built buildings, and most of the old buildings were blown down by the crazy shelling of naval guns.
The streets are covered with broken groups, broken glass and broken cement blocks. In the evening sunset, gun smoke filled the streets, and filled the smoke.
Huishan Pier,
This wharf is the best wharf in Songhu Hai Port. There are many warehouses built behind the wharf, with a total capacity of 40,000 tons and an open-air yard that can stack goods of about 10,000 tons.
In this Shanghai War, this was the Japanese army's arms loading and unloading site, and a large amount of Japanese army's arms were also stored in the warehouse at the dock.
In Shanghai's Japanese defense line, Huishan Wharf is located in the middle section of the Japanese position along the Huangpu River, Durushan Wharf,
Not only can the Japanese army cut off the connection between the beginning and end, but it can also suppress its arms supply.
Therefore, the importance of seizing Huishan Wharf is the top priority of the 87th Division.
However, before the war, the Japanese army further reinforced the buildings made of stone or reinforced concrete inside and outside Huishan Wharf, thus forming its indestructible core defense base.
A few days after the war in Shanghai began, the 87th Division began to attack Huishan Wharf, breaking westward to Oujia Road, Dalianwan Road in the east, Kunming Road in the south, and Tangshan Road in the south.
The Japanese army carried out many counterattacks from Kunming Road and other directions, but were all repelled by the 87th Division. The battle became more and more intense as the national army attacked the Huishan Wharf.
Although the 87th Division rushed to Huishan Wharf for a while, it failed to occupy it in full.
Because the Japanese army cleverly used steel and cement buildings as a base, the small cannonballs were radiated and the firepower was extremely fierce.
Although the infantry of the 87th Division followed with great courage, they could not stop the fierce shelling of the naval guns of the Japanese fleet anchored on the Pujiang River, and it was even more difficult to break through the Japanese stronghold on the streets.
The streets of Huishan Wharf in the midst of fierce battle were covered with dense corpses.
In the dense rain of bullets, the 87th Division's troops were not afraid of death, and bravely rushed towards the Japanese position with rifles.
Some soldiers even carried explosives packs or grenades together, and carried out desperate charges at various strongholds set up by the Japanese army at Huishan Wharf.
However, the Japanese army's dense guns and cannons were fiercely fired back from the private houses.
The fierce light and heavy machine gun firepower of the Japanese army fiercely fired at the charge of the National Army soldiers, like money, and fired strongly and suppressed them.
With the fierce shooting of both sides, the charge, and the counter-charge, the battle.
Almost every second, people were shot and fell down. While suppressing each other, the soldiers of the 87th Division fought desperately in all directions of the positions and various strongholds of the Japanese army's Huishan Wharf in all directions.
Unfortunately, when the 87th Division attacked the small square opposite Huishan Wharf, the Japanese army had already set up multiple firepower strongholds to carry out side-strapping, blocking the attack.
But the worst thing was the 87th Division's troops. As long as a platoon of soldiers rushed over, they fell down quickly. As soon as one platoon soldier fell down, another platoon soldier charged forward desperately.
"Captain, the Japanese army's firepower is too fierce. Should we stop the attack for the time being?"
"Otherwise, our whole group will have to fight all of them here!"
Seeing the heavy casualties of the officers and soldiers of his battalion headquarters, battalion commander Su Yubei immediately said to his regiment commander Wu Guoming in a hurry.
"As long as we can break through the Japanese strongholds set up by Huishan Wharf, even if we can fight all the regiment!"
"I'm going to fight with these Japanese, too!"
The regiment commander Wu Guoming responded firmly while pulling out his guns and preparing to follow the troops to launch a general attack.
"But......"
Looking at the resolute regiment commander Wu Guoming, battalion commander Su Yubei said a little worriedly.
"Brothers fight with the Japanese!"
But at this moment, the regiment commander Wu Guoming braved the Japanese army's bullets and led his participating troops to launch a desperate charge against the Japanese army.
As he shouted and shouted orders, all the remaining troops behind him quickly followed him and piled up the bodies of his comrades into "covers" and advanced inch by inch.
However, the Japanese army's machine gun shooting and artillery shooting were still extremely fierce.
The troops of the National Army left behind pieces of limbs, flesh and blood, and the bodies of the National Army soldiers who had just died in the small square that was only tens of meters long.
All the battlefield situations in front of you,
It makes people feel creepy when they see it.
However, just as the national army was fighting desperately and fighting to the death.
On the Japanese stronghold,
But an abnormal scene happened.
"Huh! What's that from?"
At this moment, a Japanese machine gunner who was screaming loudly and firing wildly at the national army suddenly said to his companion in surprise.
Then his companions also looked over the air he had pointed out.
"Well! Is it a big bird? Why are there birds appearing in this battlefield where bullets are flying everywhere?"
The Japanese companions were confused and confused.
"No! That's not a big bird, it's an enemy's plane! We are attacked by the enemy! Dodge the air strike!"
But as soon as the Japanese army finished speaking, an officer suddenly exclaimed in shock behind him.
"boom!"
"Boom!"
"boom......"
Just when the Japanese Marine Corps were shouting at the top of their lungs, the f4u-2 "pirate" night fighter jet flying by Su Feiyang had quietly flew over the heads of the Japanese troops hiding at Huishan Wharf, and quickly dropped heavy aviation bullets.
For a moment, the entire Japanese position was bombed and shaking.
It seems like it is facing a super earthquake.
