Snow Leopard: Building the Strongest Elite Group through Robbery
Chapter 78: Independent Battalion's First Battle
The train rushed all the way towards Shanghai.
Midway through the journey, the buzzing sound of fighter jets appeared in the air.
Zhou Weiguo looked up and saw that this should be the air force that took off from an airport near Nanjing to bomb Japanese positions and intercept Japanese fighter planes.
The weak air force dispatched more than 200 aircraft to participate in this battle, but the Japanese army had the advantage in this regard. Although they fought well in the early stage, they fell into a slump later. After the four kings died in battle one after another, there were only a few planes that could take off and fight.
After the Battle of Wuhan, air supremacy fell completely into Xiao Rizi's hands.
The train runs at high speed and does not make any stops along the way.
The Shanghai Railway Station had been destroyed by the Japanese army, and the troops had just entered the suburbs, which were still more than ten kilometers away from the battle area.
Shhhhhhhh...
The shrill sound of a whistle rang out as the train stopped.
The soldiers on the train got off the train with their backpacks on their backs. Zhou Weiguo, who got off earlier, gave orders as he walked.
"The anti-aircraft machine guns will go down first to control the commanding heights of Zhou Weiguo. The Czech machine guns will quickly go up to the upper floors to build a firepower network. All trucks will immediately cut branches from the surrounding areas to cover the vehicles before moving on. Soldiers will also provide cover to avoid bombing."
Orders were passed down one after another. At the same time, the infantry, led by the company commanders, were also organizing their forces outside the station.
"Look right. Look forward."
"All of them, turn right."
……
"The troops should keep their distance, the trucks should not gather in a group, they should be towed at intervals, all anti-aircraft firepower should be enabled, and the medical platoon should move with the battalion headquarters." Zhou Weiguo gave instructions to Fang Shengli and immediately went to the division headquarters.
The 58th Division is now under the jurisdiction of the 15th Army Group. Its commander is Xue Lao Hu, who later launched the Tianlu Campaign and fought against the Japanese th Army for many years but failed to allow them to occupy Changsha.
The 15th Army Group had several divisions under its command, and some of its advance units had already joined the Battle of Shanghai.
Commander Yu knew that Zhou Weiguo was a troublemaker. If you didn't keep an eye on him, he could just give the order and attack. So, for safety reasons, he had to bring this bandit leader with him.
Boom…boom boom boom…boom boom boom…
The sound of artillery fire was heard in the war zone. Zhou Weiguo looked out of the car and saw dust and thick smoke rising into the sky. He didn't know what was on fire.
The headquarters of the 15th Army Group was in Luodian. Division Commander Yu took Zhou Weiguo directly to the commander-in-chief's headquarters.
It was the first time that Zhou Weiguo saw Xue Lao Hu. With bloodshot eyes, he was drawing on a map surrounded by several major generals and lieutenant generals. Next to him, a radio was beeping. The officer holding the folder and the radio director would stand up from time to time to pass the telegram to the person next to him, who would then pass it to Xue Lao Hu who was in discussion.
On the table to the right, five or six radios were almost always on, either asking for reinforcements or complaining about the enemy's heavy firepower. The people who answered the phone had hoarse voices and could only use water to soothe them.
Division Commander Yu had to control his explosive temper in front of this man. He told Zhou Weiguo not to run around and pulled his military uniform to come to Xue Lao Hu. "Report to the commander, the 58th Division has been ordered to arrive and request to be assigned a mission to enhance the prestige of our country."
Old Master Xue turned his head and looked at him, then smiled and said, "You've come at the right time. Come here."
He brought Division Commander Yu to the hanging map and said, "There are about 500 Japanese Marines who have advanced into Zhabei Road. This will affect the attack of our troops on the right. You must drive these troops back immediately."
He did not dare to say that he would annihilate them. It was too difficult. The Marines were well-equipped, had tanks to reinforce them, and relied on houses to resist. He mobilized troops several times in a row, but he failed to drive them out, and instead suffered heavy losses.
Now that the 58th Division has just arrived, their fighting spirit is high. He is relieved to hand over the task to them. After all, a newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger. If he waits for a few more days, the brutal battle may suppress their morale. "
"Understood." Commander Yu pointed to Zhabei Road; "I will go there right away."
As soon as he walked out of the command center, Commander Yu immediately noticed that Zhou Weiguo's eyes were shining.
He got on the train and turned around to ask, "Why, do you want to go?"
"Commander, this is the first battle of our 58th Division. If we don't want to fight, then don't fight. If we do fight, we have to fight well. Only in this way can you hold your head up high here in the future. Therefore, Weiguo hopes that you can give the attack mission to our independent battalion. We will definitely give you a satisfactory explanation."
Commander Yu really intended to let Zhou Weiguo go.
He had fought with the Japanese army before and knew that the enemy was not easy to deal with, so he had to mobilize elite troops. In addition, as Zhou Weiguo said, this was the first battle of the 58th Division, so it had to be fought well.
If we don't fight well in the first battle, there will be no hope for the second battle.
"Okay, I'll leave the attack on Zhabei Road to you. Besides, I'll go there myself."
Zhabei Road had been shattered into pieces, with ruins everywhere. There were some abandoned sandbags along the way, and many bullet shells around the sandbags. Some dead soldiers lay casually on the ground.
The battle was not over yet and there was no time to clean up the bodies. From time to time, wounded soldiers were carried down from the front.
"Damn it, you little devil, I'll kill your ancestors."
"Hey, guys, be gentle, you're almost going to break my bones."
"Fuck him, I almost became a eunuch, fuck him."
……
Oh my god, it's going to drill into your forehead.
Zhou Weiguo led the 1st, 2nd and 3rd companies to advance rapidly, while the independent battalion, which had been trained, also formed a triangular skirmisher formation and advanced forward and reached the sandbags built on the front line.
There were about a hundred people scattered around Zhou Weiguo. Zhou Weiguo found their officer in front of a machine gun position.
He is a major and should be the battalion commander. However, it is estimated that only these few people are left in this battalion.
"You are here. I have received orders from above. The enemy's deployment is as follows."
Zhou Weiguo listened to his narration and roughly understood how these more than 500 Marines were deployed.
Triangle defense: the enemy has machine gun positions in the front, and machine guns are mounted on the houses on the left and right sides, forming a triangle blockade. Just behind the machine gun positions are scattered infantrymen. They rely on the machine gun positions and the tanks behind them, hiding in the ruins and specifically shooting the attacking soldiers.
"Okay, I understand. Thanks for the reminder. You have worked hard. Go down and have a rest first." Zhou Weiguo thanked the major.
Fang Shengli didn't say anything. After waiting for the man to lead his troops away, he leaned forward and took a look.
My goodness, there are so many corpses in front of us, at least more than a hundred of them, all of whom were killed by the Japanese army during the attack.
"How to fight?" Fang Shengli turned his head and asked.
Zhou Weiguo observed through a telescope, then lowered his head to think for a moment and turned around to shout.
"Gao Yun, Gao Yun."
"Battalion Commander, here it is." Gao Yun, the commander of the anti-aircraft machine gun company, bent down and came to Zhou Weiguo; "What do you want, Battalion Commander?"
"I'm going to have the artillery suppress this right away. While the artillery is firing, bring all the twin anti-aircraft machine guns over to me."
