Chapter 20: The Sichuan Army in Shanghai (Seeking Follow-up Reads)

"Regimental Commander!" Yu Hua looked at Xiang Wenbin.

"How do you plan to arrange for tomorrow's battle?"

Xiang Wenbin said heartily, "What other arrangements could there be?"

"Defend the position to the death, that's all!"

"We of the Sichuan Army have traveled thousands of miles to reach Shanghai."

"Isn't it just to risk our lives for the country!"

"We take the position today, and tomorrow comes the little devils' attack."

Xiang Wenbin widened his eyes.

"Yu Hua!"

"Right now, air superiority is in the hands of the devils!"

"Go and call all the officers at the battalion and company levels."

"This artillery configuration is even more formidable than the Adjustment Division under Principal!"

"I need to review the situation."

Yu Hua took out a cigarette and lit one for himself.

When the Anti-Japanese War entered its most difficult period, without external aid, the funds provided by Sichuan Province reached as high as over fifty percent.

Yu Hua told Xiang Wenbin his thoughts!

Once the devils' artillery bombardment ends, the troops hiding in the rear will enter the position at the fastest speed.

"This division was formed in Jinze... it is one of the devils' 17 Permanent Divisions."

Yu Hua's maternal grandfather was a member of the Sichuan Army.

As a part of the Sichuan Army.

Hearing this, Yu Hua let out a long sigh in his heart.

"Once we eat during the day, the troops gathering together are easily struck by the devils' artillery fire!"

Army Commander Yang Sen also personally issued an order: any unit that abandons its position without authorization—kill!

"Regimental Commander!"

The devils' artillery raised an observation balloon!

They directly shelled the Sichuan Army soldiers who were preparing to eat.

A smile hung on Xiang Wenbin's face.

And the Sichuan Army itself had 6 group armies, two corps, and one Independent Brigade;

"A single Infantry Regiment of the little devils actually has so much artillery?"

"Regimental Commander!"

"What?"

Xiang Wenbin looked at Yu Hua, "Regarding the Field Position, do you see anything else that needs to be added?"

About a minute later.

They fought in hand-to-hand combat and were not bombarded by the devils' dozens of artillery pieces at all.

"We of the Sichuan Army left Sichuan just to fight the devils."

"To drag the little devils down, achieve the strategic goal of trading space for time, accumulating small victories into a great victory, and ultimately achieving victory."

"I think we should set up trick mines in front of the Field Position."

"I need to go to the forward position and emphasize this to the 1st Battalion."

"An Infantry Regiment is equipped with 4 Type 41 Mountain Guns!"

This kid Yu Hua is his lucky star!

You must know that at that time, the population of Sichuan Province was only forty to fifty million people.

About 400,000-plus Sichuan Army soldiers were constantly engaging with the devils, fighting on the front line of the Anti-Japanese War.

"There's no other way!"

Because these balloons, there aren't just one or two, but over a dozen!

After pondering for a while, Yu Hua thought of a way.

"This is also something that cannot be helped."

Yu Hua pondered for a moment, "Regimental Commander, wait a moment."

Seeing Xiang Wenbin ask, he pointed it out directly.

"You kid thought of this point too."

The three types of expenditures all ranked first in the country.

"You are right, we should also set up a minefield."

October, autumn in Shanghai.

He did not expect that a single Infantry Regiment of the devils would actually possess over twenty artillery pieces.

Yu Hua saluted Xiang Wenbin, and he walked away quickly.

At the thought of the devils' artillery observation balloons.

Yu Hua's head felt a bit heavy.

During the eight years of the Anti-Japanese War, Sichuan Province provided one-third of the food.

"The little devils' 17 Permanent Divisions have the best of the best in terms of weaponry and personnel."

He had also specifically learned about the Sichuan Army that fought for the country.

There is no other way; the current order received by the Sichuan Army is that they cannot abandon the recovered positions and must defend them to the death.

The combination of the Trench and Skirmisher Pit is also quite good.

"Tomorrow morning, it will be enough to give the little devils a hard time."

With this question of his, Yu Hua really managed to patch a loophole.

This seems to have no solution.

It is evident how much of the flesh, blood, sweat, and tears of the people of Sichuan Province is contained within this!

Thinking of tomorrow's battle, Yu Hua's heart also aches.

I do not know how many more sons of the Sichuan Army will not live to see the sunset.

Xiang Wenbin, who was to the side, nodded, "Fine, take your time to think!"

"I will come to adjust the combat deployment."

Xiang Wenbin waved his hand, "Alright, let's not talk about this anymore."

After hearing Yu Hua's introduction, Xiang Wenbin gasped.

Yu Hua still hopes that he can let a group of Old Soldiers survive on the Songhu Battlefield as much as possible.

All the Firepower Points are laid out reasonably.

The number of people from Sichuan Province who went out of the province reached as high as 2,578,000, accounting for twenty percent of the national troop supply at that time.

Yu Hua nodded helplessly, "Regimental Commander, our country is poor and weak."

"You must have Lao Liu from the kitchen cook for the brothers early."

During the eight years of the Anti-Japanese War, the money and wealth provided by Sichuan Province to the Republic of China High Command accounted for more than thirty percent.

"The devils are now using the strength of their entire nation to invade us."

In the TV series!

The Xiang Wenbin Regiment is engaging the devils for the first time.

"Their combat effectiveness is among the top few even among the 17 Permanent Divisions of the devils."

Providing people means providing soldiers for the whole country, throughout the eight years of the Anti-Japanese War.

He followed Xiang Wenbin out of the command post.

Yu Hua recalled the situation of the Sichuan Army's battle at Dunwu Temple.

"Are there any others? Tell me all at once."

Xiang Wenbin also wants to hear Yu Hua's opinion.

"Your brain is not bad!"

Before transmigrating.

"On the ground, the devils' artillery is also very formidable."

"I actually overlooked this point!"

This is truly somewhat difficult.

The Sichuan Army is great!

At that time, Sichuan Province fought for the country; to summarize it, it is two words—Three Outs!

What are the Three Outs? Out with people, out with money, and out with supplies!

Defending tomorrow, I do not know how many more brothers will not be able to eat dinner.

Wanting to destroy the devils' artillery Observation Balloon in one go.

This seems to be a bonus that came with the transmigration.

Arriving at the Field Position, Xiang Wenbin saw that the fortifications were also built very well.

Overall, the defensive system of the Sichuan Army is already built very tightly.

"An Infantry Company is equipped with 2 Mortars, and an Infantry Battalion is equipped with 4 Type 92 Infantry Guns."

After walking around, Yu Hua discovered that there was no Minefield in front of the Field Position.

"Damn it, these little devils are really damn rich."

"If we don't drive the devils out, our Sichuan Army will not go back."

Upon hearing this, Xiang Wenbin nodded, "I will contact Lao Liu in a moment."

When the battle arrived on the second day!

The 1st Battalion defending the position chose to eat in the morning.

That is to leave a small number of soldiers on the position to act as observation sentries.

This fighting style of Xiang Wenbin's... is standard and conventional!

Facing the devils' sea, land, and air firepower, this is purely filling the gaps with human lives.

Today, Yu Hua brought honor to the Sichuan Army at the 19th Group Army command post.

Yu Hua said helplessly: "Regimental Commander!"

After taking a deep breath, Yu Hua exhaled a white smoke ring.

"It will definitely be very intense!"

"Hiss, hiss..."

The devils' artillery Observation Balloon is located behind the position.

Since he was small, he heard his grandfather explain stories of the Sichuan Army, and after Yu Hua grew up.

"We can only abide by the Persistent War of Attrition formulated by the Republic of China High Command, using our vast territory."

Out with supplies means letting the people of Sichuan Province provide all kinds of materials; taking grain alone as an example.

"Adding it up like this, the number of the devils' artillery pieces is more than twenty."

"The devils currently opposite us are the Ninth Division."

"The little devils will advance tomorrow!"

Ever since he transmigrated, his memory had become stronger and stronger.

"I will arrange everything one by one in a moment!"

This resulted in extremely heavy casualties for the Sichuan Army.

This was an autumn wind carrying flesh, an autumn rain carrying blood.

"We can also take out a batch of devil soldiers by utilizing the Minefield."

The current Songhu Battlefield was just like a great melting pot.

Constantly melting away the armies of both sides.
