"Regiment Commander, we just received urgent news. Major General Huang Meixing, the commander of the 254th Brigade of the 88th Division, went to the front line to supervise the battle. During the battle at the Patriotic Girls 'School, he was hit in the abdomen by a Japanese grenade and died on the spot.”
" In addition, according to the relevant intelligence, although the 88th and 87th Divisions fought very tenaciously, more than 20 tanks and war vehicles were destroyed in several attacks. The reason is that they don't know how to coordinate infantry and tanks at all. Tanks often attack alone without the protection of infantry and are surrounded and destroyed by the Japanese.”
" Even though the attack didn't go smoothly, the Japanese also paid a heavy price. Without the support of the naval cannons, the Japanese's infantry cannons and grenade launchers still pose a threat, but our heavy artillery also brought more damage to the Japanese..."
Hao Luo heard the latest battle report. The battalion commander of the 1st Battalion reported the results of the battle to him through his mobile phone.
At this moment, many Japanese soldiers from other defense lines were retreating toward the Marine Corps headquarters.
At this moment, the Special Task Force not only had to eliminate the enemies between Hankou Garden and the Marine Corps headquarters, but also to intercept the Japanese who were retreating to the Marine Corps headquarters.
Hao Luo also decisively threw in the second infantry battalion, expanding the battle area along the already occupied Hankou Garden.
"Power up the Garrison Command. Our Heavy Artillery Battalion can provide fire support to them at any time!”Hao Luo instructed through his mobile phone and hung up.
Without the support of the cannons, the Japanese were indeed suppressed.
In the Battle of Shanghai, the Japanese relied on the cannons and the concrete defense to suppress the Fire Country's army.
The firepower of both sides was not equal.
Hao Luo knew very well that he had to get rid of the Japanese's main force in Shanghai as soon as possible. Otherwise, once the Japanese mobilized more air forces and gained control of the air, their fleet would enter the Huangpu River again, and this battle would be difficult to fight.
Fortunately, the battle was progressing smoothly. His side was doing fine. The key was the battlefield in the other regions. The 87th and 88th Divisions were also key parts of the battlefield.
Just as Hao Luo ended the call, he heard the roar of a plane.
It was still very far away, but it was definitely a plane. It was flying in the direction of Hangzhou Bay. It was the Japanese plane.
"Prepare for air defense!"
Hao Luo immediately opened the command communication channel and issued an air defense order.
At the dozens of air defense positions near Hongkou Park, the air defense observers quickly locked onto the approaching aircraft fleet.
In the air defense position, anti-air cannons were deployed under the camouflage net, and the anti-air artillery quickly entered the combat position.
The air defense observer and commander on the roof worked closely together.
"Enemy planes, 12 o'clock, altitude 800, Japanese Type 96 land attack planes, 15 in total!”
"Prepare for air defense. The Japanese are too arrogant. Take them down!”
The vice-battalion commander in charge immediately shouted.
The Japanese would only bully the Fire Country because they did not have many anti-air weapons. Flying at such a high altitude, it was obvious that they wanted to come over and drop the bombs directly. They did not hide it at all.
However, this was also a very normal thing. The Fire Country did not have many air defense weapons. There were a small number of air defense weapons that were basically all deployed around Jin Ling. The air defense weapons that were transferred to Shanghai probably did not even add up to ten.
It was not as powerful as the anti-air firepower of half an anti-air battalion of the Special Task Force. Moreover, the anti-air weapons around Shanghai did not protect the artillery and troops. They were basically all deployed at the surrounding airfields, and there were very few of them.
Hao Luo even set up his Barrett sniper rifle and aimed at the sky.
He was waiting for the Japanese to fly over his head.
This was the Japanese's Type 96 bomber, also known as the land attack aircraft.
At present, the Japanese were in the Central China region, so it was impossible for them to have an airport. These bomber planes could only come from the Hsinchu Air Force Base in Formosa.
No wonder the Japanese plane was so slow.
Judging from the direction of the enemy's flight, it was obvious that they were heading towards his Heavy Artillery Battalion.
Hao Luo even believed that there should be more planes heading towards the two heavy artillery battalions in Jiading. There was a complete air defense battalion at the artillery position in Jiading, so Hao Luo was not worried about their safety.
The Type 96 land attack aircraft was the Japanese's most advanced bomber. It was also considered a very advanced bomber in this period.
Among all the bomber aircraft currently in service in various countries, the performance of this bomber was considered first-class.
It could carry nearly a ton of aerial bombs and also had a certain degree of self-defense ability.
However, the Japanese were obviously very stubborn. Previously, there were Japanese reconnaissance planes that arrived, but the air defense camp did not make any movements. In addition, all the air defense cannons were camouflaged by the camouflage net.
Therefore, the Japanese reconnaissance aircraft did not find anything unusual. After seeing the location of the artillery position, they left.
As a result, the bomber swaggered over.
Hao Luo raised the Barrett high up, and the muzzle slowly rose as the Japanese fleet moved.
The fleet was almost above his head, but he was waiting for the Japanese to enter the air defense network.
Ten seconds later, just as the fleet was about to fly over Hao Luo's head, a gunshot rang out.
The Barrett's huge recoil caused Hao Luo's knees to bend slightly. Even with his physical fitness, he still couldn't withstand the recoil of the gun butt against his shoulder. If it was a normal person, it wouldn't be strange for his shoulder to be dislocated.
The Barrett's huge recoil had to be set up with the help of a tripod. If an ordinary person used it like this, it would be useless.
However, to Hao Luo, this kind of recoil was still okay. He only felt numb for a moment and would soon return to normal.
The bullet that flew into the sky was an armor-piercing incendiary bullet.
Under Hao Luo's special aim, the armor-piercing incendiary bomb did not hit the aircraft's body. Instead, it directly penetrated the wing of the Type 96 land attack aircraft, where the Japanese's fuel tank was located.
The moment the bullet pierced through, the fuel tank on the wing of the plane exploded. Without any warning, the entire wing was broken in the explosion, and the fire quickly spread to the interior of the plane.
