Chapter 348 Ye Feng visits the front line
Shanghai downtown.
The fierce street fighting has been on the third day. On the main streets of the city, many soldiers appeared in tanks and armored vehicles. In the leadership of a large number of tanks, the soldiers who have the advantage in numbers have firmly controlled the initiative and everyone has made steady progress.
After three days of street fighting, the number of new 6th Army soldiers who were successively put into battle exceeded 200,000. In addition, there were thousands of various combat vehicles, including armored vehicles, tanks, etc.
At this time, street fighting gradually became fierce, and the Japanese army in the city knew that they were isolated and were basically at the end of their lives. Therefore, the remaining Japanese army resisted desperately and the battle was fierce. Unlike the Japanese army, most of the puppet troops had surrendered one after another.
As street fighting progressed, the troops participating in the city basically no longer had to be frequently commanded and mobilized. Ye Feng ordered Deputy Commander Chu Tianyuan and others to take charge of command in Hangzhou. Ye Feng himself brought Chief of Staff Guo Weiquan and Special Forces Captain Zhao Long and others to visit the front line.
Ye Feng and his party arrived in downtown Shanghai this morning. Many soldiers learned that Ye Feng was here in person, and everyone was motivated. Many soldiers from various infantry divisions shouted the slogan to destroy all Japanese troops in the city within seven days.
On the top of a tall building, Ye Feng held a telescope and watched the fierce street fighting around. This morning, Ye Feng went to the front line in person to watch the battle here and command the battle.
This cement building is one of the tallest buildings here, condescending, and can be seen through a telescope even when fighting far away.
Ye Feng was holding a telescope and watching the battle on a street at least nearly a thousand meters away. The battle was extremely fierce. This is one of the main streets, with spacious and straight roads. There are many Japanese troops and many barricades on such a street.
"Boom, boom, boom..."
A m4 Sherman tank slowly drove in the front and shelled several Japanese fortifications dozens of meters ahead. Several shells accurately hit the target. At least a dozen Japanese Japanese were blown away. In addition, a Type 92 heavy machine gun was bombed into the sky.
The street fortifications built by the Japanese with hard work with sandbags and logs were dilapidated under these guns. With blue smoke, the bodies of several Japanese near the fortifications were everywhere.
Dozens of soldiers who followed the tank to attack saw their tanks start to show their power again, and the soldiers immediately cheered and took the weapons in their hands to shoot fiercely at the Japanese in front of them.
"Ka, da, da..."
A large number of Thomson submachine guns fired heavily. Almost half of these dozens of soldiers were equipped with Thomson submachine guns, and each submachine gun was a drum of 100 rounds, with fierce firepower.
A few dozen meters ahead, many Japanese devils were lying behind the fortifications, showing their heads holding Type 38 rifles or holding crooked machine guns to shoot sparsely. The soldiers shot intensively, and these Japanese devils were immediately killed and injured.
Many Japanese devils with their heads exposed were hit by dense bullets, and blood flashed. Several Japanese devils were hit by their heads. One Japanese lieutenant who held a command knife and poked out half of his body was hit by at least a dozen bullets and fell to the ground.
In the buildings on both sides of the street, some gun barrels appeared in some windows. Some Japanese hiding in hidden places and shooting at the soldiers.
The soldiers seemed very familiar with this situation. It was not the first time they encountered it. They were not panicked at all. A lieutenant platoon leader waved his hand. A small number of soldiers, in groups of three or five, quickly entered the buildings on both sides of the street to search for the Japanese. Most of the soldiers continued to move forward under the guidance of tanks.
Thomson's submachine gun is definitely a powerful tool for street fighting!
On the street, in the buildings on both sides of the street, there were very dense sounds of submachine gun shooting, one after another, and almost never stopped. I guess there were a large number of Japanese devils who died under the submachine guns of the soldiers.
On the eve of the large-scale street fighting in downtown Shanghai, Ye Feng equipped all the submachine guns in his stock with the front line troops. A large number of soldiers replaced the Garland rifles in their hands and equipped them with submachine guns that were very suitable for street fighting.
The Shannan County Arsenal has long produced Thomson submachine guns on a large scale. The factory has stocked more than 30,000 Thomson submachine guns. These brand new submachine guns are all equipped with front-line troops, especially soldiers from various infantry divisions.
With a large number of Thomson submachine guns, a large number of mortars and light and heavy machine guns equipped with previously, as well as tanks, armored vehicles, etc., the soldiers have obvious advantages, and the casualties are naturally much smaller than those of the Japanese.
Chief of Staff Guo Weiquan looked happy, and also looked into the distance with a telescope, happily saying to Ye Feng: "Standar! You see, the soldiers almost beat the Japanese to raise their heads."
Ye Feng smiled, nodded, held the telescope with great enthusiasm, and watched the battle on the streets in the distance.
Zhao Long next to him also looked very interested. After looking at the telescope for a few minutes, Zhao Long said: "Military, can our special forces enter the city and participate in the battle?"
More than 200 members of the Lijian Special Forces had been on standby in the western suburbs of Shanghai and had long wanted to enter the city to participate in the war. Zhao Long saw that the soldiers from various troops were fierce offensives. If his troops did not enter the city to participate in the war, he would be afraid that he would not be able to drink a sip of soup, so he immediately asked for the battle.
Ye Feng put down the telescope and said, "Yes, our sword special forces should come out and shine."
With Ye Feng's permission, Zhao Long looked happy and saluted Ye Feng, then turned around and sent a newspaper to the special forces with great enthusiasm. Seeing Zhao Long leave, a slight amplitude appeared on Ye Feng's mouth, and he thought to himself that the top leaders of the Japanese should be in trouble now.
The special forces participated in the battle and naturally selected important goals to start, with the focus on the senior personnel of the Japanese army in Shanghai, as well as the command centers of various divisions of the Japanese army in Shanghai, and the command centers of the Japanese army in Shanghai.
...
On the fifth day of the street fighting, in Baoshan City.
There are a large number of Japanese troops here, at least tens of thousands of people. As the battle progresses, the soldiers of the newly formed 6th Army are gradually implementing division and encirclement of the Japanese troops in downtown Shanghai. The remaining Japanese soldiers either huddled in some narrow streets to resist or break out in the Wusong area.
The main streets in downtown Shanghai are relatively spacious. The soldiers' tanks and armored vehicles gradually occupy these main streets with the cooperation of a large number of infantry soldiers, and the street fighting is basically coming to an end.
But the battles in Baoshan are still very fierce. Today, the battles in Baoshan City are the most intense. Tens of thousands of Japanese soldiers were surrounded by soldiers in Baoshan City. Outside the city, there were soldiers and a large number of chariots.
Accompanied by Zhao Long, Ye Feng took an armored vehicle to the outside of Baoshan City. Information showed that there were tens of thousands of Japanese troops surrounded by soldiers in Baoshan City. Ye Feng was very interested and immediately took Zhao Long, some guard soldiers and some special forces members to take several armored vehicles and off-road vehicles to the outside of Baoshan City.
As for the Chief of Staff, Guo Weiquan, he has returned to Hangzhou. The war in Shanghai no longer requires Ye Feng to personally command. Guo Weiquan and Chu Tianyuan and others are enough to take charge of Hangzhou.
Ye Feng still stayed in the city of Shanghai, more to provide morale to the soldiers fighting in the city, inspire everyone, and eventually eliminate the Japanese in the city.
The sound of guns and cannons in Ye Feng's location is clearly heard. It is obvious that the battle in Baoshan area is very fierce. This time, Ye Feng concentrated a large number of superior troops. The number of soldiers participating in the battle in Baoshan area exceeded 20,000, which was more than twice that of the Japanese. In addition, there were many tanks, armor, etc. to cooperate with the soldiers to fight.
In Baoshan City.
On a street, several m4 Sherman tanks have been used as mobile turrets. These tanks are parked on the street. There are still many soldiers around the tanks. The top hatch doors of several tanks are opened, and several machine guns on the top of the tank are firing from time to time.
On the street, several broken fortifications were emitting black smoke, which seemed to be broken. It was obviously destroyed by the main cannon of the tank. On the ground and near the broken fortifications, there were many corpses of Japanese devils in a mess.
Among them, behind a barricade fortification built by a sandbag, a Japanese colonel lies crookedly on the sandbag. The dead Japanese colonel held a command knife in his hand, covered in blood, and his military uniform was even more broken.
As the battle progressed, the number of Japanese devils continued to decrease, and some Japanese senior officers gradually emerged. Some Japanese devils, middle-aged and even colonels and other officers led some Japanese devils to fight on the streets in person.
However, such a battle usually did not last long and was finally wiped out by the soldiers one by one. From time to time, the bodies of some Japanese Aristocratic officers could be seen on the streets.
"Ka, da, da..."
The machine guns on these tanks are constantly firing, and many soldiers near the tanks are also shooting with submachine guns, or aiming at shooting with Garland rifles.
A Japanese Nakazo's face looked very ugly. His corps leader had been beaten to death, and he was killed under his nose. The soldiers of the newly formed 6th Army had fierce firepower and the cooperation of tanks. The Japanese Nakazo saw that the number of Japanese around him was decreasing.
Looking around helplessly, the Japanese Nakasao gritted his teeth and led the Japanese to retreat to a small alley next to the street. While retreating, the Japanese Nakasao also held up the commanding knife and shouted, obviously ordering the Japanese to retreat to the alley.
The alley is narrower than the streets. The Japanese knew that the soldiers' tanks could not come in and could continue to resist stubbornly. Therefore, the Japanese Zhongzuo chose this alley.
Many Japanese soldiers retreated while fighting, leaving behind many corpses, with about one hundred corpses. After leaving a large number of corpses, several Japanese officers and everyone finally retreated into the alley, and there were even corpses left at the entrance of the alley. These Japanese soldiers were killed by the dense firepower of the soldiers.
An m4 Sherman tank drove to the entrance of the alley, aiming the thick gun barrel into the alley, and the machine gun on the tank also aimed at the alley, and many soldiers also surrounded it. (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, the novel is better, updated and faster!
