According to the content of the telegram, the baggage regiment of the 18th Division and the accompanying heavy artillery regiment were all in the upper reaches of the Huangpu River, only about ten kilometers away from Song Jiang.
After the 18th Regiment landed, they arrived at this area and took control of it, waiting for supplies.
Even though the 18th division was not a permanent division and had only been established for less than three months, it did not mean that their combat strength was weak. They had the same military structure as the permanent division and also had two exploration teams, a total of four infantry regiments.
And this time, in order to cut off the retreat of the national army on the battlefield of Shanghai, the Shanghai dispatched troops to send the heavy artillery regiment to attack together with the 18th division.
This caused the firepower of the 18th Regiment to be strengthened.
The Assault Heavy Artillery Unit was a temporary formation of the Japanese Army. A normal Japanese artillery unit had forty-eight cannons. Most of the cannons were 75mm in diameter, and a few were 105mm in diameter.
The Heavy Artillery Regiment was a temporary establishment of 18 howitzers or cannons with a caliber of 120mm and above.
The high-firepower artillery used to attack solid defenses was a temporary firepower enhancement between the artillery regiment and the heavy artillery brigade.
The 18th Regiment, which had been strengthened with the heavy artillery regiment, could not compare to the 6th Regiment in terms of combat ability or efficiency.
They didn't march as urgently as the Sixth Division and began to attack Song Jiang early. Instead, they acted with the Heavy Artillery Regiment along the way and only began to cross the river today.
However, for the 18th Division, good food was not afraid of being late. The Sixth Division did not have any improvement in the Song Jiang battle, and the 18th Division was more stable.
When Ye Qing led the red blood cell team to the side of the 18th division, he realized that the engineers of the 18th division were still setting up a pontoon bridge on the Huangpu River. The original bridge here had been blown up by the retreating national army yesterday.
They hid in the periphery of the 18th Regiment and used the drones to carefully scout the location of every unit.
Perhaps it was because the 6th division was too ruthless, the 18th division was extremely careful. There were many scouting squads patrolling the perimeter, as well as hidden sentries. Furthermore, the heavy artillery and logistics regiments had a large amount of weapons and supplies that were tightly protected in the middle of the camp. The 4 infantry regiments around the camp had already constructed defensive trenches.
The entire Eighteenth Regiment was like a giant porcupine, making it difficult to attack.
Ye Qing did not give up. Instead, he used the drone to expand the scope of the investigation.
Soon, Ye Qing made a discovery. 15 kilometers away from the Japanese's 18th Division's camp, three heavy trucks were heading toward the 18th Division.
The mini drone carefully approached the back of the truck. Through the gap in the truck's canvas, he saw that there were no Japanese in the truck. Instead, there were rice, flour, various vegetables, and a large amount of pork.
"Let's move."
They quickly bypassed the Japanese's 18th Division's base. Five kilometers away from the 18th Division's base, they finally saw three trucks that had arrived late.
In the middle of the road, there was a 155mm howitzer. Suddenly, there was a sound of brakes, and the three trucks stopped.
Facing the cannon in the middle of the road, the Japanese driver was dumbfounded.
They had never seen this kind of cannon before. The cannon was in English and had a thick caliber. Five or six Japanese got out of the car and surrounded the cannon, scratching their heads in confusion.
Just as the Japanese were discussing how to drag the cannon back, a few bullets suddenly appeared on the side of the road. Five or six Japanese were shot in the head at the same time.
Six figures in ghillie suits appeared on the roadside. One of them quickly collected the howitzer, while the others collected the Japanese's body and took off their clothes. They quickly changed into the Japanese's military uniform.
Ye Qing got into the first car and used a disguise potion to disguise himself to look exactly like the Japanese he was disguised as. Moreover, this Japanese was a military officer.
He took out the Japanese's ID and saw that he was a sergeant of the 18th Division's logistics regiment. He was in charge of transporting food and supplies for the 18th Division.
He started the car. The truck slowly drove on the uneven road for almost ten minutes before arriving at the gate of the Japanese camp.
The sentry at the gate stopped the car. After confirming Ye Qing's ID, he checked the back of the three trucks and the bottom of the truck before letting them go.
The items had to be transported to the logistics and kitchen department. After the three trucks entered the camp, Ye Qing led the two trucks behind them and slowly moved towards the logistics team in the center of the camp.
As it was only a short stay, the engineer regiment would set off to cross the river as soon as they set up the pontoon bridge. Therefore, the Japanese did not set up tents, so many supplies were directly piled up on the open space.
The three trucks arrived at the logistics team smoothly. Ye Qing and the others patiently moved the Japanese people to unload the things from the trucks.
When they were unloading the goods, someone came to inform Ye Qing to immediately replenish the fuel after unloading the goods. Then, they would immediately set off to transport the injured to the fleet in Hangzhou Bay and send a batch of supplies back.
