Chapter 16 Supply Troops

The little Japanese is a country with "self-centered spirit". They believe that as long as the spiritual power is strong enough, they can defeat all enemies. Under the guidance of this spiritual thought, the Japanese army is always accustomed to attacking, attacking and attacking again... They believe that defense is a negative behavior that is forced to take when the enemy's troops are too different from that of the enemy. Just like the little Japanese stationed at Huishan Wharf, headquarters and Gongda Spinning Mill, their regular troops are only two or three thousand. With such forces to deal with the three German armed divisions and the continuous arrival of national reinforcements, they can only take defense.

However... this is not their combat style. Once the Japanese have the ability to organize an attack, even if they know that the enemy's strength is superior, they will work hard to launch an attack and regain the initiative. Because they believe that the attack has a magical magic power, the attack will give the soldiers a kind of spiritual power, which will make the entire army defeat enemies that seem several times stronger than them in a certain spirit.

Just like now... The Japanese knew that our army's troops in Shanghai were far more than just three German divisions, and they could easily get this information from the Japanese army besieged by our army, but they still launched an attack on our army with the strength of a division!

Indeed, this tactic of the Japanese army was very successful in China's land, because the fact was just as the Japanese hoped... a small team of Japanese troops launched an attack on the national army several times or even dozens of times. The national army troops that could have easily chopped them into meat paste fled!

But it is obvious that such a thing will not happen in Shanghai today, and the little Japanese are destined to pay a heavy price for their frivolity and stupidity!

Soon, the "rumbling" motor sound came faintly from Huishan Wharf and Gongda Spinning Mill... Just as Wu Qianxue got the information, the Japanese army attacked in two groups. As usual, after bombardment, they used the cover of Tank armored vehicles to attack the predetermined target. In some aspects, the tactics of the little Japanese are so rigid and so monotonous.

The Japanese A Division had about 20,000 combatants, in other words, 10,000 people per route. However, what the Japanese army didn't know was that under Zhang Zhizhong's emergency mobilization, at least six elite troops were waiting for them...

After a while, I heard gunshots and explosions coming silently. The battle was not fierce enough? In fact, the real battle had not begun yet. I could almost imagine the scene of the Japanese Tanks deployed landmines in advance at the German Equipment Division one by one, and the directional mines were even blown up by handgun bombs and explosive packages thrown from the houses on both sides.

The Tank of the Little Japan is not as terrifying as the ones filmed in TV and movies. If it is on the open battlefield, such as the North China Plain, it does have a considerable advantage, because such a terrain itself is conducive to the mechanized troops' development and their firepower. In addition, the Tank of the Little Japan also attaches great importance to the cooperation between infantry and Tank, so it is difficult for the National Army soldiers to get close to the Tank of the Little Japan.

But in Shanghai where there are private houses everywhere, it’s like this. In addition, the German division and the Central Army have made sufficient preparations for the attack target of Japan in advance. Many officers of the Central Army have learned about the weaknesses of Japanese Tank in Japan, so there seems to be no suspense in this battle!

Isn't it? So far, there are about Type 89, Type 94, Type 95, Type 97, etc. 94, 95 are all light Tanks, with the front armor only twelve millimeters, and the side armor is only six millimeters... What is six millimeters? It's almost half a centimeter. The mechanic only needs to set up a Marks gun on the side to beat the Tank to pieces! If you add a few hand grenade bullets or explosive packs, it will quickly turn into a pile of scrap iron. Although Type 89 is considered a medium Tank in Japanese, the front armor is only seventeen millimeters and it is still a turtle speed tank with a maximum speed of only twenty-five kilometers per hour. How slow is it to 25 kilometers per hour? You just need to think about what it feels like to ride a bicycle to experience it.

If you really pose a certain threat to the German armoured division, it is the blade medium tank. This tank armor has a thickness of 25 mm and a speed of 38 kilometers per hour. It is equipped with a 57 mm main gun and a machine gun... However, just like the Type 97 sniper rifle in my hand, this Type 97 Tank was also just developed by little Japan. It will not be officially equipped with the Japanese army next year!

The battle started a few minutes later. I think this is due to the attack speed and offensive spirit of the little Japanese, or it can be said that the little Japanese have always looked down on Chinese soldiers, so they were like a blindfolded beast and plunged into the trap set up by the Central Army...

The first thing that sounded was bursts of explosions followed by thick smoke and fire. Needless to think, the armored troops driving in front of the little Japanese were reimbursed, and then there were gunshots, shouts of killing and explosions of hand grenade bombs... If we just compare individual weapons, the equipment of the Central Army would not be worse than that of the little Japanese, and there was even no force.

We lose if we don’t have heavy weapons such as tanks, heavy artillery, aircraft, and warships. However, when the two armies fight together, these heavy weapons will not play a role at all, which is destined to sink deeper and deeper in the quagmire of Shanghai!

What I am worried about now is that the Japanese will soon withdraw after discovering that their offensive target is a trap. This is not a difficult task for the well-trained Japanese army. However, after more than ten minutes, I found that my worry was unnecessary. The Japanese actually continued to attack when they discovered that these two targets were a trap. This can be heard from the increasingly fierce gunfire in Huishan Wharf and Gongda Spinning Mill.

"Company Commander!" At this time, Chen Dali couldn't help himself. He shouted at me more than ten meters away: "You said that the fight outside is so lively... Why don't we even have a Japanese?"

"Don't worry!" I replied relaxedly: "Do you know why the Japanese attacked Gongda Spinning Mill and Huishan Wharf?"

"Just fight, what else?" Chen Dali's answer made me feel a little angry.

"It's to rescue the Marine Corps Command!" After thinking about it, Li Wenxi replied: "That's us!"

"That's right!" I nodded and said, "Japans can form triangular defenses to provide firepower support to each other, but...what if they find it difficult to capture these two places in a short time?"

"Oh!" After I said this, Li Wenxi quickly understood: "They will move closer to us, hoping to continue to attack Huishan Wharf and Gongda Spinning Mill with the Marine Corps Headquarters as the base!"

I smiled without comment. Li Wenxi was indeed a smart man, and he was right. He was right. These Japanese troops attacking us landed from the sea. They had no place to stand on land... No! It should be said that they had a place to stand, that is the Marine Corps Command building we were stationed, but they didn't know that this building was already in our hands.

I believe that if Japan originally planned, it would not move closer to the headquarters building, because they wanted to quickly occupy two strongholds and gain a foothold. However, when they found it difficult to do this, they would naturally think of the headquarters' shackles...

Sure enough, after waiting for more than ten minutes after the gunfire, he saw a communication soldier running down from the building in a hurry. As soon as he saw me, he came up to report: "Company Commander Fang, Colonel Wu asked me to inform you, the Japanese will soon approach the headquarters building and order us to prepare for cover!"

"Okay! Finally here!" I couldn't help but feel energetic when I heard this, and waved to the soldiers and said, "Brothers, all of us are cheering up. We have to protect the Japanese for a good time!"

With a "coax!", the soldiers couldn't help laughing, and at the same time they didn't dare to be slow. They raised the weapons in their hands and prepared for battle.

After a while, I heard the sound of guns and cannons. I couldn't help but feel confused. I raised my rifle and looked into the thick smoke through the sniper lens. I saw two Tanks slowly driving on the street opposite. Following behind was a large number of cars, some of whom were pulling cannons...

This is the Japanese supply troops and artillery units, and I quickly realized this!

Well! Why didn't I expect it? A Japanese army of 20,000 people went to the battlefield to fight. No matter what, they would definitely bring supplies and artillery. These troops were easily attacked by the enemy. It was the key protected object of Japan. Therefore, once the Japanese army found it difficult to quickly capture the target, the first thing they had to do was to transfer the supply troops and artillery troops to the safest place they thought, that is, the Marine Corps Command where we were!

Isn’t this a large piece of fat that I gave us? I didn’t expect my luck to be so good. After getting the arsenal, I could still send us such a large number of supplies for free, as well as a lot of cars and cannons. We were just transporting the arsenal’s weapons, ammunition and medicine without cars!

After thinking about it, I felt that I should get as much equipment as possible and as complete as possible. Only in this way can I not let down the kindness of the little Japanese? Otherwise, the soldiers would have a rain of bullets... Even if those cars and cannons did not explode, there would not be a few left to use them!

Thinking of this, I immediately turned around and shouted to the soldiers beside me: "Hurry up! Call Wu Qianxue down immediately! All soldiers are not allowed to fire guns... Also, where is the education leader?"

He is called Wu Qianxue because only he can communicate with Japanese people normally without being discovered. He wants to find an education chief because... only he can command the entire army, but there is no allowance for any mistakes!
