Lao Zhang's shelling slightly relieved the pressure on the fat man's front, but the fat man was not happy for long, and more devils rushed over like a tide behind him.
The fat man estimated that there were several thousand people, and at the same time, the warships on the river began to bombard again, and the super-large caliber shells fell to the ground, blowing up huge craters.
Many soldiers were suffocated to death by the explosion of the cannonballs, burying them alive in the dirt they had kicked up.
The huge explosion made several undetermined recruits go insane, ignoring the rain of bullets in front of the position, screaming and rushing towards the devil, and then they were instantly beaten into a hornet's nest.
One of the fat man's ears was gone, and the loud explosion shook his other ear bleeding.
He hurriedly stuffed a small piece of gauze to plug the bleeding ear, and shouted loudly with the strength of breastfeeding: "A group of brothers, hold it off for me, the brigade commander is almost there, hold on for another five minutes" The soldiers who did not die on the position hurriedly got up and rushed to their respective positions, and the fat man took advantage of the moment when the devil's naval artillery suspended the shelling, and contacted Lao Zhang by radio and asked him to continue shelling the devil.
Lao Zhang said that after the shelling just now, in order to prevent being discovered by the devil's planes and warships, they were moving their positions and could not carry out shelling for the time being.
However, Lao Zhang told him that the next time he needed artillery support, he would directly use smoke bombs to indicate the direction of the devil, so as to save time for test firing.
The fat man had no choice but to give up the idea of shelling the devil.
The first wave of the devil's attack collapsed due to the desperate resistance of the fat man, and the devil's officer knew that this position would not move for a while, so in order to reduce casualties, he ordered the attack to be suspended and regrouped.
The fat man took the opportunity to ask the battalions and companies to count the casualties, and soon the results came out, his two battalions and four additional companies, more than 2,800 people, after a battle, there were still more than 2,000, and the casualty ratio reached 2 out of 10.
Most of the casualties came from the bombardment of the devil's heavy naval artillery and the planes that had been circling in the sky to bomb, although the devils were knocked out by the air defense group three bombers, but obviously the devils didn't care about the loss of these bombers at all, they frantically sent bombers to the position to bomb indiscriminately, such an intensity, even the shock also shocked people to death.
At this time, Zhou Wu finally arrived, and when he saw the tragic situation on the front line, he didn't need the fat man to complain, he knew how serious the problem was.
After listening to the fat man's casualty report, and then looking at his head wrapped in a torn towel, Zhou Wu's heart sank, it seemed that the actual situation was even worse than he expected.
The most tricky thing is that the devil's naval artillery can block and cover their positions at any time, causing great casualties and psychological pressure on the soldiers.
Zhou Wu was so anxious that he walked around the trench with his hands behind his back.
Retreating obviously can't be done, but if you continue to fight with the devils, it's only a matter of time before the independent brigade is wiped out.
What to do Zhou Wu's brain told Zhuan to turn and never think of a good way.
Ding Ning saw Zhou Wu's gloomy face, stepped forward and said: "Brigade seat, can we hold our position with a small number of troops during the day, and use Lao Zhang's artillery to continue bombarding to block the devil's attack, as long as we can hold out until night, it will be easy to do." ” "Now, our independent brigade has no mobile reserves on hand, Lao Ge and Wang Ding can't move, and the 11th Division in the east is even more difficult to protect itself now, judging from the sound of guns and artillery from there, the 11th Division's life is also not good.
Now the whole of Shanghai has become a pot of porridge, and the strange thing is that there is no movement in the direction of Jinshan at all. ” "I really can't do it, I'll go to the commander and ask for some people."
Zhou Wu said helplessly.
"The army commander can't have anyone on hand, and now there is an emergency everywhere, especially the 11th Division in the east, according to the information just got, their two positions have been lost, and they are asking the army commander for help."
"But the army commander has at most one guard battalion, and this guard battalion has more than five hundred people, what's the use, it's not a drop in the bucket" Ding Ning told Zhou Wu the information he had just gotten.
"Then what should we do, there is really no way to stop the little devil" Zhou Wu was full of sorrow.
"Brigade seat, the devil has a great advantage during the day, there are planes in the sky, warships have naval guns, and the devil's infantry firepower is also fiercer than ours, I mean, we can't attack each other's strengths with our own shortcomings, then we will be finished sooner or later."
Ding Ning said.
"You just say what to do" Zhou Wu wanted to hear what Ding Ning meant, in fact, he already had a rough outline in his heart, but it was not perfect.
"I want to leave a small number of troops and Lao Zhang's artillery firepower to cooperate to contain the devils during the day, and it is best to hold it, and if we can't hold it, we will give up, and at night we will use superior forces to attack the devils at night and take back the position."
"At night, the planes and naval guns of the devils do not play much role, we are familiar with the terrain, and we will definitely be able to recapture the position, so that we can minimize casualties, and try our best to contain the devils and consume the enemy."
"As long as our main force is there and the logistics are smooth, the devils can't do anything about us, unless they can firmly control the position at night and immediately build reinforced concrete fortifications, but this is impossible for the current devils."
Ding Ning analyzed the situation on the battlefield.
Zhou Wu listened to it and felt that it was very reasonable, and asked the fat man's opinion, and the fat man also agreed, and swore that if the position was lost during the day, he would definitely bring someone to take it back at night.
"Your injuries are okay, hurry up and call the hygienist to disinfect and bandage, if you get infected, it will be troublesome."
Zhou Wu saw that the fat man had a torn towel wrapped around his head, and he was worried that his wound would become infected.
"It's okay, Brigade, it's just a little bit of skin."
The fat man didn't say that his ear was shot off, he was afraid that Zhou Wu would move him to the rear.
"Okay, Lao Liu, you pick five or six hundred brothers to guard the main position, and the rest of the people will be led by the deputy commander of your regiment to withdraw to the rear to rest and wait, I will say hello to Lao Zhang, let him listen to your command directly, remember to withstand it, try to delay the time until the evening, and we will be easy to do at night."
Zhou Wu made up his mind that he couldn't continue to consume with devils like this anymore.
Then, Zhou Wu ordered Zhang Ercheng of the howitzer battalion to listen to the fat man's command through the radio, and Lao Zhang said that he knew, he had now moved to a safe place, and at the same time was ready to launch.
Zhou Wu looked up at the sky, the sun was already covered by dark clouds, and it looked like it was about to rain.
He felt a little relieved that the devil's plane would not be able to be dispatched on a rainy day, and they should be able to suffer less bombing.
Although when it rains, the tunnels will be filled with rainwater and will become a water town, but the aqueducts they dug earlier will be able to play a role, so that the soldiers will not be soaked in the water and suffer alive.
Seeing that it was going to rain on this day, the devils immediately launched a new round of attack, and Zhou Wu saw that the retreating troops had not yet moved, so he ordered all the soldiers to prepare for battle and repel this wave of devils before it rained.
Zhou Wu ordered Zhang Ercheng to prepare for artillery fire, and told him that the weather conditions had changed, so that he did not have to worry about the devil's plane reconnoitering the direction of their artillery.
Once it rains, even the naval guns on the warship will not be able to take Lao Zhang's artillery, because the naval guns are too far away from the position, the line of sight in the rain is affected, and the muzzle flame is also suppressed.

The most important thing is that it is impossible for the devil to find Lao Zhang's location in a short period of time, so Zhou Wu judged that this time Lao Zhang can give the fat man a relatively long artillery strike to completely destroy the devil's offensive momentum.
The little devil may have rushed a little more quickly this time, and launched a charge at two hundred meters, and the fat man saw it and shouted: "Light and heavy machine gun fire" One after another, the tongues of machine gun fire erupted and swept towards the little devils who were running, and the devils in front fell to the ground like a cut straw, and those who were not dead and had broken arms and legs wailed and rolled on the ground.
The devil in the back fell to the ground, advancing forward under the cover of alternate fire, and the devil was skillful in tactics and did not have the slightest intention of panicking.
Zhou Wu was shocked when he saw it, the devils were all prostrate on the ground, their guns were difficult to hit, what could I do in my heart, and then he suddenly thought of a way, and hurriedly contacted Lao Zhang by radio.
"Lao Zhang, can you change the fuses of the shells so that they don't explode on the ground, but explode in mid-air?"
Lao Zhang was stunned for a while: "I'll try it, this thing is not easy to get, it's too dangerous, I can't even blow it up." ” Lao Zhang said that it is not a small difficulty, but it can be tried, and it takes time to try.
Therefore, Zhou Wu ordered all the weapons on the position that could reach the devil to fire to stop the devil's crawling speed, and asked the bombing team to prepare and bombard the devil with grenades, forcing them to not stand up and make the final impact, so as to buy time for Lao Zhang to tinker with the fuse of the cannonball.
The devil was blocked by powerful firepower and couldn't move about a hundred meters away from the position, the two sides fell into a stalemate, Zhou Wu muttered in his heart: "Lao Zhang, Lao Zhang, hurry up and open fire, hurry up, it's too late." ” t1706231537:
