War of Resistance: Glory of the Beasts

Chapter 455: All-out battle between land, sea and air! (Thanks to 'book friends' for the reward)
History has completely changed. Huang Meixing, who should have been killed in the bombing, did not die. After he arrived at the Patriotic Girls' School with the 264th Brigade, he also set up the brigade headquarters here. The 67th Army, which was supposed to enter the Songhu battlefield in October to cover the rear of the Kuomintang troops and fight bloody battles in the isolated city, reached the front line and appeared outside the Japanese headquarters in Shanghai in August!

Xu Chaoyang looked at everything that was happening before his eyes. Sitting on a wooden bench at the Patriotic Girls' School, with his bare chest being bandaged by a doctor, his brain seemed to be insufficient.

At this time, the sound of artillery fire outside the window had stopped, and a flaming plane fell from the sky with the Japanese flag painted on it. The plane slid diagonally across the sky of SH and dived towards the suburbs with billowing black smoke. Finally, a ball of fire appeared in the distance that could be seen from the window, but the sound of the explosion never came over, which showed the distance.

"Captain Xu, your injuries are not serious, they are just superficial."

"The wound has been sutured. You will recover after a few days of rest."

After the military doctor arrived, Xu Chaoyang was lucky enough to get an injection of anesthetic, but it was only one injection. Then the doctor disinfected his wound with alcohol and used anesthetic to suture his wound. The problem was that even so, the anesthetic had worn off by the end of the sutures on his wound. When the last few stitches were being used to suture the gunshot wound on his shoulder, he still broke out in a cold sweat.

"Chaoyang, Xu Chaoyang!"

Wu Keren walked into the classroom wearing a military uniform. The general from Sandaowan, Ning'an, Jilin, shouted with a strong accent: "How is your injury?" His face was full of concern.

Inside the room, the soldiers of the 88th Brigade of the 264th Division had just pasted the map on the wall.

Xu Chaoyang saw on the map that the Japanese 16th Fleet had stopped at the Wusongkou. There were also three aircraft carriers docked on the coastline, which were written on the map with names such as "Fengxiang, Longxiang, and Kaga".

That is to say, on August 8, due to the typhoon, the three aircraft carriers will take shelter from the wind at the Saddle Islands 14 nautical miles away. On that day, the only aircraft that the Japanese invaders can take off is the Type 130 two-seat seaplane reconnaissance aircraft!

The Type 250 land attack aircraft, which could carry torpedoes or four kg bombs, could not take off from the mother ship Shenwei at that time...

"General."

Xu Chaoyang stood up, his bare-chested shoulders wrapped in gauze. The many scars on his body made his skin look like the paint on a car that had been scraped against the wall in a tunnel.

Wu Keren looked at him happily: "It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back!" He also said with a smile: "Song Zhe originally didn't let you fight, but today, I let you fight, where is your 217th Regiment?"

"Where?"

"I'll let you take the lead!"

He is still looking forward to Xu Chaoyang coming with the invincible 217th Regiment. Although the Northeast Army is not allowed to talk about Xu Chaoyang's troops, who wouldn't be envious when their equipment is unveiled in Tianjin?
Xu Chaoyang lowered his head at this moment: "General, 217..." He sighed: "Disbanded."

For a moment, Wu Keren and Huang Meixing looked at each other, their gazes stayed on each other's sight for a long time without moving.

What else could Xu Chaoyang say? He couldn't just say that all his men were in the northwest, right?

"Don't worry, just be my military advisor first, and we'll deal with the rest after the war is over."

After Wu Keren said this lightly, he reached out and patted Xu Chaoyang on the shoulder. Then he turned around and walked towards the map with Huang Meixing.

Then what else can Wu Keren say?
There is a great war going on right now. Whose troops can he give you?
If you give a leader a blow, won't his subordinates rebel? What's the point of fighting a war?
"General Wu, the next combat mission of our 264th Brigade is to attack the front of the rectangular fortifications of the Japanese invaders' headquarters in Shanghai. Now, one of the two regiments under my command has just captured the Baji Bridge and has suffered heavy casualties and needs to rest. The other is finishing a siege at Chizhi University. Chaoyang also participated and took down two streets for us."

"We are short of manpower right now. We need your 67th Army to send out... at least one division to stand in front of the rectangular fortifications of the Japanese headquarters..."

"But be careful. According to our observation, the Japanese not only have Type 92 infantry guns but also a lot of heavy machine guns on this five-story rectangular fortification. This building is the tallest building in the surrounding area. From here, you can see the river bay and the surrounding main streets at a glance."

"This battle is not easy to fight."

Huang Meixing of the 88th Division had no selfish motives and was just analyzing the pre-war situation. The problem was that for Wu Keren, this was like stabbing him in the heart with a knife!
You all know that the Northeast Army was eager for a tough battle, so they pulled in the 67th Army to launch the main attack and attract firepower?

Isn’t this bullying an honest person?

But Wu Keren had no way to refuse!
Why are you here? Aren't you asking for a tough battle? There is no fairness in a tough battle, there is no fairness on the battlefield! Now that the tough battle is given to you, you are nitpicking?

Therefore, Wu Keren could only stare into Huang Meixing's eyes without saying a word.

"Our 264th Brigade needs time to rest and recuperate. We also need people to help us tire out the enemy's morale. After we have rested and recuperated..."

"received."

"After we have rested, the 67th Army can withdraw completely... What did you say?" Huang Meixing looked at Wu Keren, who was already full of hostility, and asked in confusion.

Wu Keren shouted directly, and responded with a tense face: "I say, our 67th Army will accept this mission!"

That kind of cruelty that is unique to people from the Northeast only appeared frequently at the drinking table from then on, especially when someone challenged them.

Xu Chaoyang had seen this scene at a banquet. It seemed like he was attending the wedding of an old comrade. A fellow villager and the driver of the regiment headquarters had a quarrel. They each poured half a beer glass of white wine and shouted, "Aren't you awesome? If you are awesome, come and have a drink with me!"

At that time, Xu Chaoyang's comrade-in-arms responded with his eyes wide open. He picked up the draft beer cup and drank up the white wine as if it were cold water. In the end, both of them were sent to the hospital for gastric lavage at someone else's wedding.

Yes, people from Northeast China are so fierce and have no tricks at all, especially when they are in a difficult situation.

Right now, the 67th Army is in an awkward situation.

"I'm talking about launching the main attack from the front of the Japanese headquarters..."

Huang Meixing also made sure that the other party was a military commander after all, and he could not order him around.

"Didn't I tell you I answered it? Why are you wasting time with me?"

Huang Meixing swallowed his saliva, pointed to the map and said, "Then, after dark, you will launch an offensive against the headquarters from here. My 264th Brigade will take over the 67th Army and continue the offensive after it is fully prepared tomorrow morning. We will try to take it down in one day and one night!"

Wu Keren ignored him, turned around and walked to where Xu Chaoyang was, sat on the desk in front of him and asked, "Chaoyang, how do you think we should fight?"

They used your experience, Xu Chaoyang, in fighting against Japan. In real history, this was the most difficult battle for SH. Even the Kuomintang's TNT explosives and aircraft bombings could not break through the iron wall of the Japanese headquarters.

At this time, you ask Xu Chaoyang how to fight?
Xu Chaoyang raised his head and looked at Wu Keren: "How many grenade launchers do we have?"

Wu Keren looked back at Huang Meixing, who quickly said, "All the grenade launchers of my 264th Brigade can be deployed to the 67th Army."

Then Xu Chaoyang spoke up: "A lot of people will die."

He slowly stood up, walked towards the map, and said along the street in front of the headquarters: "I need someone to transport all the grenade launchers to a position that can hit the roof of the Japanese headquarters. Use the grenade launchers to destroy the Japanese heavy weapons on the roof. When the artillery positions in the rear use Krupp to directly bombard the front windows of the rectangular fortification building, let the soldiers of the 67th Army rush in."

"If we can cooperate with the air force to bomb it, the effect will be better."

Wu Keren nodded: "You mean to make sure the Japs have no ability to fight back, so that we can coordinate with the infantry and artillery to minimize casualties."

Xu Chaoyang nodded.

"But there are two prerequisites. First, the rooftop defenses must be completely destroyed, especially the watchtower built by the Japanese on the rooftop. Second, we must ensure that the naval guns cannot fire on our attack route. What I mean is that if we want to capture the rectangular fortifications, we need a strong enough coordinated operation between the army, the navy, and the air force."
