I am God of War in Snow Leopard

Chapter 7 Arranging in advance
On the deck of the light cruiser Natori.

More than 8 marines belonging to the [-]th Battalion have completed their assembly.

Commander Hiratani Tai, is mobilizing them before the battle.

A communications soldier suddenly hurried out from the command post located in the cabin.

He saluted Tai Pinggu with a slap and said: "Sir, General Watanabe has called, and Natori will cooperate with Izumo to attack the frontal defense line of the Chinese army.

Temporarily unable to provide us with artillery support, we need to land on our own.

But a tank squadron of the army has been coordinated to cover our attack. "

"Nani?" Pinggu Taiyi suddenly turned his head when he heard the words, and looked at the messenger who came to report the letter with an unkind expression.

The communications soldier did not dare to look at him, and lowered his head and said: "The frontal attack was stubbornly blocked by the Chinese army.

The army divisions suffered heavy losses, and the dispatched army headquarters issued orders directly to General Hasawa Tanikiyo.

The Natori and other ships were asked to withdraw immediately and rendezvous with the Izumo flagship.

Cooperate with the naval fleet to cover the main offensive of the army! "

"Baga!" Taira Hirugu was furious: "This bunch of trash in the army, with an army of more than 20, can't break through the defense line of the Chinese Army."

“Sir, the Chinese army on the opposite side has also received a large number of reinforcements.

At present, in the Songhu area, at least more than 80 Chinese troops have assembled, and most of them are relatively elite Central Army. "

In front of Taichi Hiratani, a squadron leader carrying the rank of captain couldn't help but persuaded: "How about we temporarily cancel the roundabout attack?"

As an elite force in the navy, and since this was the early stage of the war, the Japanese Marine Corps generally had a higher rank than the Army.

That's why there was a situation in which Pinggu Taiyi's marine brigade had less than a thousand people, but his military rank was Colonel.

In the captain's view, since the previous roundabout attack failed.

That meant that the defenders on the opposite side were well prepared.

The three hundred or so of them lost the fire support of the ship-based artillery group.

If we attack forcefully, we might end up following the example of the 1st Squadron.

Unexpectedly, Pinggu Taiyi turned his head and scolded with a livid face: "Baga! Shaozuo Nanchuan and nearly 1 imperial warriors from the [-]st Battalion died in battle.

You want me to stop here? "

Before the captain could explain, Taichi Hiratani, who felt shameless, raised his hand to stop him and said, "Needless to say, we will definitely be able to capture the China Army's position without the support of the navy.

As long as we break through the defense line of the Chinese army in this area, the imperial army can detour and attack Sanyili, and even the entire rear of the Chinese army in Zhabei.

Thus completely changing the battle situation in Songhu, helping the imperial army of the Japanese Empire win the battle and occupy Shanghai! "

"Pass my order, the 2nd and 3rd squadrons and the teams directly under the brigade, immediately disembark and land, join the tank squadron, and prepare for a new round of attack."

Seeing that Pinggu Taiyi had made up his mind, the captain and the other devils present did not dare to say any more, and they all ordered: "Hay!"

Under the leadership of Taiichi Pinggu, more than 300 devil marines quickly boarded and disembarked the cruiser of the same name.

Take the boat and start to disembark.

However, this time there was no support from the naval gun group.

They did not dare to go ashore directly from the place where the 1st Squadron landed before.

Instead, they chose a section of the river beach about three kilometers away from the Jiulian position to land.

After landing, it was learned by radio that the army's tank squadron was coming to them from the frontal battlefield.

Taichi Hiratani ordered the troops to enter a residential area that had been blown into ruins by their own side and wait for the arrival of the tank squadron.

……

At the Ninth Company position, everyone was ordered to dig the cat's ear hole.

Xu Qingfeng was not idle either. He first asked Liu Mancang to find two soldiers who were proficient in explosives and asked them to collect a batch of grenades, explosive packets, and captured Japanese grenades.

Then he took them and quietly left his trenches.

Mao stooped to the area in front of his own position, 100 meters to 300 meters away.

It is very close to the Huangpu River, and there were many trees and some houses in the past.

Now it has already been bombed by the three-dimensional firepower of the ghosts, Lu Haikong, and nothing left.

All that was left were ruins of broken walls and burning and smoking tree stumps.

Then there are the eye-catching craters of various sizes everywhere.

"Company commander, what are we doing here?" Liu Mancang asked in confusion as he followed Xu Qingfeng and looked at the shocking craters around him.

"Place booby traps to prevent the enemy from attacking next time."

Xu Qingfeng understood that it was not enough to simply increase the anti-cannon power by piercing the cat's ears.

He wanted to stop the Japs' next attack, hold his position and survive.

Something more has to be done.

Today's Ninth Company has insufficient troops, and Zhou Weiguo will not be able to send him any more reinforcements in a short period of time.

Fortunately, the troops still had sufficient ammunition, and a lot of grenades were seized from the annihilated Japanese Marines.

It can be used to arrange some simple minefields in front of one's own position.

In this way, the defense capability of one's own position can be increased.

After Xu Qingfeng finished speaking, he directed Liu Mancang and the others to start laying mines.

As an all-round soldier, setting up traps such as booby traps is a piece of cake for him.

Under his guidance, Liu Mancang and the other two soldiers quickly learned the skills.

While teaching them how to arrange it with his own hands, Xu Qingfeng instructed: "If the devils bombard you later, don't panic, let alone run around.

Just find a bomb crater to hide on the spot. "

"Company Commander, why? Shouldn't it be safer to retreat to our position quickly?"

Liu Mancang asked puzzledly.

“Because, the chance of two shells falling at the same location is very small.

Moreover, once you hear the sound of the cannonball, the cannonball has already flown over, no matter how fast you run, it is impossible to pass the flying cannonball.

Also, the Maoer hole has not been dug yet, so the position may not be safe from the crater outside. "

Xu Qingfeng explained patiently while continuing to plant the mine.

Liu Mancang nodded, and said worriedly: "Then if the devils bombard our position now, wouldn't it be very dangerous?"

Xu Qingfeng sighed helplessly: "Then we can only leave it to fate, without having control of the air or sea.

Fighting against devils in this kind of offshore area, bombing is inevitable! "

Liu Mancang and others looked sad. The company commander was right. They stepped into the Songhu battlefield.

Almost all the time, they are not being bombarded by devils' planes, cannons and warships.

"Okay, hurry up and arrange it." Xu Qingfeng planted a booby trap, stood up, held his belt, and ran quickly to the next burial site.

Fortunately, because the attack on the frontal battlefield was not going well, the devils transferred the warship away.

Xu Qingfeng and the soldiers of the Ninth Company gained a valuable respite.

Until Xu Qingfeng laid out the simple minefield and retreated to his own trenches, no Japanese shelling occurred.

However, at this time, there was a Japanese tank squadron consisting of six Type [-] medium tanks.

Successfully merged with Pinggu Taiyi Institute.

The commander of this Japanese tank unit is named Matsuno Jiro, with the rank of Major.

Since tanks and chariots belong to special arms, their status is more honorable in the army.

So this Matsuno Jiro is also a high-ranking low-profile.

After the two troops converged, Matsuno Jiro jumped off one of the Type [-] tanks.

Arriving in front of Taiyi Pinggu, he stood up abruptly and saluted: "Your Excellency, Matsuno Jiro was ordered to lead his troops to support, please give instructions."

Although the Japanese navy and army did not deal with it, they were inside the strictly hierarchical interior.

When Matsuno Jiro meets Taichi Hiratani, who is two ranks higher than him, he must maintain absolute respect.

Taichi Hiratani took a look at the six tanks brought by Matsuno Jiro, nodded with satisfaction and said, "Yoshi, Matsuno-kun, I am Taichi Hiratani, commander of the 8th Marine Corps.

From now on, you and your chariot will be under my unified command. "

"Hai, I am willing to obey the command of His Excellency Colonel!" Matsuno Jiro paused quickly.

"Yo Xi, order your troops to open a path in front and coordinate with our troops to attack forward!"

Taiyi Pinggu, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately gave the order.
