Songhu battlefield, Shanghai!
South of Zhabei! The north bank of Suzhou Creek!
Strengthening the 2nd Regiment of the Independent Brigade, 3,300 people had already begun to build fortifications along the north bank of Suzhou Creek!
In the northwest direction of the second team was a warehouse building with a blue sky and white sun flag fluttering above it!
This warehouse building was number 1 Guangfu Road. It was a six-story building made of reinforced concrete, the tallest and largest building in Zhabei.
It also had a name-Four-row Warehouse!
It was a joint warehouse formed by the Gold City Bank, the Central South Bank, the Great Road Bank, and the Salt Industry Bank.
"Are you from the reinforcement brigade of the 2nd National Division?”
Old Tie propped his body up and stuck his head out carelessly. He was like a seasoned soldier.
"Reinforce the 2nd Regiment of the Independent Brigade!”
Xu Hu replied in a bad mood. He continued to shovel the river sand with his shovel and put it into a sack. A soldier carried it and began to build a sandbag wall for cover.
"Brother, you've asked me three times!”
"Didn't they say to strengthen the independent brigade?”
At this moment, Yangguai also stuck his head out and looked at the busy soldiers on the north bank of Suzhou Creek.
"I know. The 2nd division is the Hui Army.”
Old Tie shrugged his shoulders and curled his lips." But the 2nd division doesn't have so much good equipment.”
"Strengthening the independent brigades and fighting independently. It can be said that although it seems to be under the control of the second division, it is no longer under the control of the second division.”
"Look at their equipment, tsk tsk…even our 88th division, known as the German Machinist, can't compare.”
"This regiment's firepower and numbers are not even as strong as the Japanese.”
"This is really f * cking strange. I don't know where these guys came from!”
……
"Old Tie, are you complaining again?”
"Talking about allies without restraint is a big taboo.”
"Their regiment commander, Zhou Weiguo, is no pushover.”
In the distance, Xie Jin Yuan, who was wearing a gray military uniform, walked over.
Xie Jin Yuan was very young, not even thirty years old, but he was their senior officer. From top to bottom, he had the sharpness of a soldier, clean and neat.
Zhou Weiguo led the 2nd Regiment from the Fengjing Town military base to the north to support the Shanghai battle. They passed by several checkpoints.
The 2nd regiment was equipped with German machinery, cannons, and vehicles, which made many people jealous.
Naturally, there were also people who came to cause trouble. In the end, they were swept by the MG34 general machine gun. Although they deliberately did not kill or hurt anyone, they were still quite frightened.
Each squad had a machine gun, a grenade launcher, mortars, and howitzers. No one dared to mess with them.
Zhou Weiguo was naturally a tough person, and the order was naturally given by him.
Since they were already part of Pei Zhan's independent brigade, they naturally had to think for Pei Zhan.
Moreover, the Pei family had built an army to resist the Japanese at the front line. It was not easy for them to support the war by building such a large arsenal near the front line.
Didn't the independent division guarding the Golden Mountain Guards rely on the military base in Fengjing Town to change their equipment?
Moreover, Pei Zhan did not ask for a single dollar.
Naturally, they had to protect this kind of army that was fighting against the Japanese for the sake of saving the country.
Zhou Weiguo was different from the big-headed soldier. He had studied at the German Military Academy in Berlin and had seen the world. Naturally, he knew how much money his regiment would need to equip with all the German machinery.
This was a huge sum of money.
In the past, he had never thought that he would have such a team.
However, he was relaxed now. Moreover, he led this regiment to the front line to resist the Japanese!
Their weapons were all sharp weapons to fight the Japanese.
No one wanted to have any ideas!
During the Battle of Songhu, there were many troops surrounding Shanghai. There was a mix of good and bad people. There was the Zhongyang Army and the armed forces of other national armies. Naturally, there were many people who coveted it.
……
"Zhou Weiguo used to be in the 87th division.”
"Why are you in this independent reinforcement brigade?”
A deep and magnetic voice sounded. It was a man in his thirties who was holding a rifle and wearing a gray military uniform.
"Old Gourd, why did you come out to watch the show?”
Hearing this, Xie Jin Yuan turned his head and saw a familiar figure.
"Who knows?"
"This has nothing to do with us. We just need to support Zhabei and fight against the Japanese.”
He did not care about these things.
Now that the war was in a dire state and people were dying every day, there was no need to care about the reinforcements.
Xie Jin Yuan was the deputy commander of the 524th Regiment of the 88th Division. He led more than 400 people from the 2nd Battalion to guard the four rows of warehouses and cover the retreat of the main force.
The four hundred of them had only arrived half a day earlier than Zhou Weiguo's second regiment.
"Keep your spirits up, don't let the brothers of the strengthened independent brigade look down on you.”
"I reckon that the Japanese will come in a day or two!”
Xie Jin Yuan looked at Zhou Weiguo's 2nd Regiment's position, the 150mm howitzer, and a trace of envy flashed in his eyes.
Six 75mm light infantry cannons and two 150mm heavy infantry cannons.
In addition to the grenade launchers, mortars, and machine guns.
With such a powerful ally, why would they be afraid that their position would not be able to withstand it?!
