A series of footsteps sounded on the dilapidated street.
The north of Suzhou Creek had long been dead silent.
The commoners had either fled to the area south of Suzhou Creek.
Not all commoners would choose to leave their homes. Some people liked to stay where they were and found it difficult to leave their homeland.
However, in the face of Zhou Weiguo's soldiers and their unyielding attitude, they did not retreat or retreat with their guns.
Therefore, the Shanghainese north of Suzhou Creek were basically cleared out.
This was also Pei Zhan's order.
No one knew better than him what the Japanese had done!
Tens of thousands of people were killed by the Japanese in the Jinling Massacre. They even killed civilians for fun and stopped the killing competition. The winner would get a prize!
Since September 18th, the Japanese have been massacring civilians everywhere. They don't treat the Chinese as humans and even carry out special biochemical experiments, causing a large-scale plague.
These plagues were very widespread and difficult to cure during this period. As a result, village after village was wiped out.
Many villages had become ghost villages!
Now, the Battle of Songhu had reached its later stages. The national army's line of defense had been withdrawn again and again, and now it had all been withdrawn to the west of Shanghai.
As a result, Zhabei was exposed to the Japanese.
What was the difference between that and not wearing any clothes?
Pei Zhan could not guarantee that the Japanese would not massacre the residents of Zhabei.
Then what should he do?
They could only force them to evacuate, and those who did not leave were all taken away.
He couldn't just watch the Japanese do this to them!
If they could retreat, they would naturally retreat!
……
On the battlefield.
Zhou Weiguo raised his binoculars and looked ahead.
"The Japanese are here!"
"Get everything ready!"
"From now on, we will defend this place to the death. There are countless Shanghai civilians behind our position. We will not tolerate the Japanese trampling!”
"Think about it. Two hours ago, those big brothers and sisters who sent you food didn't even have enough food for themselves, but they still took it out and gave it to you!”
"Do you have the heart to let them groan under the Japanese's butcher knife?”
"From now on, I will organize a law enforcement team. If anyone dares to retreat, I will punish them on the spot!”
Zhou Weiguo had already put down his binoculars. His gaze was cold and sharp as he patrolled the camp and looked at the soldiers who were ready for battle.
Then, he issued an order,"Order the artillery to fire at the Japanese once they enter the range of the artillery!"”
"Blow them up into the sky!"
……
The artillery battalion of the 2nd regiment of the reinforced independent brigade.
Two SIG33 Type 150mm Infantry Cannons and six 75mm LeIG18 Light Infantry Cannons were ready.
The German SIG33 150mm infantry cannon did not look heavy, but its caliber was 150mm. Its effective range was 5000 meters.
However, it had a special feature, which was that it had a strong lethality against reinforced concrete fortifications, and it was also lethal against armored targets.
Therefore, the German army had always been heavily armed.
Pei Zhan had also equipped his troops because they had enough cannons for the regiment.
The cost was also economical.
At the regimental artillery position, there were basically two veterans and three recruits. They were constantly adjusting their positions and angles according to the data sent by the scouts in front.
Gao Chengliang was currently following behind the artillery veteran in the base, and he was in a hurry.
The usual training was completely different from the real battlefield.
The tense atmosphere lingered in his heart.
His back was drenched in sweat.
"What are you nervous about?"
"Don't drop the ball when the time comes!"
A tall and thin officer beside him reminded him.
This tall and thin officer was the only old cannoneer in Zhou Weiguo's original regiment. His nickname was Madman!
Previously, he was in charge of the only three mortars.
However, now that they had the artillery, they were naturally assigned to this place. They were appointed as the company commander of the artillery company and were in charge of more than 20 veterans and eight infantry cannons.
Gao Chengliang straightened his back and said," Don't worry, Captain. I will not screw up. I will ensure the supply of artillery and let the Japanese have a taste of our artillery!"。”
……
Madman nodded and no longer cared about him. Instead, he focused his attention on the radio contact soldier.
The radio equipment had already been distributed to strengthen the independent brigades, regiments, and companies.
The artillery companies were the most important. They needed the artillery scouts to determine the location, coordinates, and so on, and use radio communication.
On the roof of a three-story building.
The Cannon Scout was paying close attention to the movements of a group of Japanese.
Cannons were indeed powerful and could provide support at any time, dominating the battlefield.
However, if a cannon group wanted to be large, accurate, and lethal, it naturally needed the cooperation of artillery, scouts, calculators, communicators, surveying soldiers...
At this moment, the artillery scout was rapidly measuring the position, distance, and altitude.
After that, he had the signalman report the data to the Artillery Company.
Then, the calculation soldier began to calculate!
Although there were only a few infantry cannons in the entire artillery position, they were all activated.
"The position has been adjusted!"
" Coordinates verified!"
……
"Requesting artillery fire!"
……
Madman's expression was cold. Facing the direction of his target, he turned around and looked at the cannon barrel that had already adjusted its angle and was pointing diagonally at the sky!
"150mm infantry cannon!"
"Cannon!"
With an order!
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
The two 150mm infantry cannons shook violently. A wave of air rolled and smoke filled the air. Huge shells shot out from the barrels and ruthlessly shot towards the artillery position 5000 meters away!
It was the first cannon attack from Suzhou Creek!
