Bright sword, I have a red police base car

At this moment, Prince Higashikuni Naruhiko looked at the city of Shanghai and couldn't help but smile.

Now he has tied millions of Chinese people in Shanghai to his guards. Even if the Ping'an County Security Corps really reaches Shanghai, they will probably be restricted by the common people.

On the defensive front line built by the Japanese army in Jiangsu, the Japs were building positions relying on favorable terrain.

East China is covered with water networks and is far less friendly to armored forces than East China.

In order to defend against the attack of the armored forces of the Ping'an County Security Corps, the Japanese built a large number of anti-tank fortifications on the front line of defense.

At the same time, the Japanese transport teams were also transporting ammunition and supplies to the front line.

After all, no one knows when the next war will begin, so the Japanese army must stockpile as much equipment as possible.

However, after the Japanese opened a single-lens box, they were stunned.

"Nani?! What is this?!"

What appeared before the eyes of the Japanese soldiers were round pottery jars.

(Type 4 grenade ceramic shell)
Seeing these small pottery jars, the surrounding Japanese soldiers looked at each other in confusion.

"This is the Type 4 grenade developed by the Diguo Military Industry Department. It will be our main grenade from now on!"

When the Japanese soldiers around saw the grenades made of these ceramic jars, they were speechless.

The Japanese army has now entered a state of resource scarcity. In Japan, the devils have basically collected almost all the iron tools in the country. However, due to the continuous defeat on the Chinese battlefield, the war resources needed by the Japanese army are beginning to become insufficient.

In order to save steel, the Japanese could only find some substitutes for some disposable equipment.

And the grenade was the first target of the Japanese devils.

After all, equipment such as bullets and artillery shells really cannot be replaced with other materials.

A Japanese soldier picked up the ceramic grenade and weighed it, then found an anti-tank trench to test the power of the grenade.

As the grenade was thrown, an explosion was heard in the anti-tank trench, and the Japanese soldiers around immediately came forward to check.

"Bakayar! How can this kind of grenade be effective in combat?!"

"Yeah! Is this still lethal?"

Looking at the ceramic shell that was blown in half on the ground, the Japanese soldiers felt an indescribable sense of powerlessness.

When they were fighting against the Eighth Route Army in Shanxi, the Eighth Route Army's grenades were almost always blown in half, causing no damage to them at all.

The Eighth Route Army called this type of grenade "made in the border area."

At first, they were disdainful of this kind of border-made guns, but they never expected that after only a few years, they would have to use their own border-made guns.

"Now that the battle lines have retreated, the local arsenals have to ensure the supply of other equipment. It is normal to lack raw materials. Don't worry, we will definitely resupply after the battlefield in Southeast Asia is close. After all, this kind of grenade is only a short-term stopgap measure."

After seeing the power of this ceramic grenade, the Japanese regiment commander could only comfort his soldiers.

In fact, the combat effectiveness of the Japanese army has made a qualitative leap compared with 1937, but their enemies have also changed from our vulnerable Guo army and the poorly equipped Eighth Route Army to the current Ping'an County Security Corps and the ridiculously strengthened Eighth Route Army.

If there was a time traveler among the Japanese army, they would definitely scold Zhang Shijie for having no moral principles and cheating.

At this time, the morale of the Japanese troops was somewhat low due to the large-scale deployment of Type 4 grenades.

After all, the shabby weapons and equipment directly reflected Japan's national strength at that time.

Just as the Japanese began to build their defense line, the Red Alert's special forces battalion finally completed its assembly mission at the Fengyang base.

The various action teams of the original special forces battalion also rushed over from various regions.

"Comrades, our mission this time is extremely difficult, but it is also extremely glorious. To be honest, if I were not in charge of the command, I would have wanted to lead the team myself!"

"Ha ha ha ha."

Xin Zhengping, the former commander of the special forces company and now the commander of the special forces battalion, made a small joke before he became discouraged. Then he said to the squadron leaders and squad leaders in a serious tone: "Comrades, according to reliable intelligence, the Japanese Hirohito is now in Shanghai!"

"What? In Shanghai?! They are tired of living!"

"Battalion Commander! Our tactical rescue squadron requests to join the battle!"

"Your Tactical Rescue Squadron has taken all the good things. We, the Tactical Action Squadron 1, are here to fight!"

"Are you all in pain? Shut up! If our Tactical Research Squadron doesn't go on this kind of mission, who else can?!"

At this moment in the conference room, before Xin Zhengping finished explaining the mission, the commanders of the special forces battalion began to compete for the mission.

Capture the devil's locust alive!
What a great honor this was for China during the Anti-Japanese War? !
Not to mention being included in the family tree, it would be more than enough to leave your name in history!
When future generations compile history books, they must open a separate page to talk about this matter!

Seeing the comrades of the special forces battalion quarreling over this mission, and even looking like they were going to fight, the battalion commander Xin Zhengping knocked on the table and said, "Okay, stop arguing. According to the commander's order, all combat units of our special forces battalion will take action to jointly carry out the task of arresting Hirohito. At the same time, the Air Force and Navy will fully cooperate with us!"

"it is good!"

"The commander is wise!"

After hearing the news that the entire special forces battalion was dispatched, the special forces members of the special forces battalion cheered instantly.

Capture the devil's locust alive! This is what they wanted to do most in their previous life but didn't do it!
So after clarifying the specific tasks, the officers of the special forces battalion began to discuss how to capture and take away the Japanese soldier Hirohito alive at the Marine Corps Headquarters in Shanghai under the strict defense of the Japanese army.

After two hours of discussion, the soldiers of the special forces battalion determined the final battle plan.

The Shanghai Headquarters of the Japanese Marine Corps is located at No. 1 Dongjiangwan Road, HK District, Shanghai. It is in the shape of a U-shaped fortress, surrounded by barracks and warehouses. The headquarters can accommodate more than people, and there are also a large number of tanks and armored vehicles on the first floor.

However, at this time, the model sand table of the Japanese Marine Corps Headquarters in Shanghai had already been placed in the headquarters of the special forces battalion.

According to the actual situation around, the Red Alert decided to use the Air Force to carry out precision bombing here. Because there are a large number of Chinese people in the urban area of ​​SH, the Red Alert's industrial zone is producing a large number of laser-guided ammunition.

After all, the previous laser-guided munitions were almost all used up by the air force when fighting the Japanese navy, so now they can only be mass-produced through industrial areas.

After completing the attack on the Japanese troops around the Marine Corps Headquarters, all the special forces members of the Special Forces Battalion will take helicopters and, under the cover of armed helicopters and the Air Force, head straight to the location of the Marine Corps Headquarters from the northwest.

After completing the mission, the helicopter immediately picked up the troops and returned.

During combat, there must be no less than 20 gunboats in the sky for support, accompanied by no less than one squadron of fighter jets and attack aircraft.

After all, this time the special forces battalion fought entirely in the form of light infantry, and did not have enough heavy weapons to face the Japanese armored forces.

This requires the support of air forces!
Afterwards, after finalizing the combat plan and program, the special forces battalion immediately reported the detailed plan to Zhang Ning, who then reported it to Zhang Shijie.

So the entire Red Alert force began to prepare according to the actions of the Special Forces Battalion, and ordered all troops to fully cooperate with the actions of the Special Forces Battalion.

After a whole day of preparation, news came from Dagu Mountain and Fengyang Mountain that they were ready.

Zhang Ning looked at the reports from the troops that had been deployed on the front lines in various places, and immediately issued an order to attack.

"Attention all troops, I am Zhang Ning, launching a general attack!"

At this time on the Japanese position, the Japs were still improving their defensive fortifications. Since the Ping'an County Security Corps had not taken any other actions for a long time after entering the position.

Due to time constraints, the Japanese army relaxed its vigilance and reconnaissance in the direction of the Red Alert Force.

But just when the Japanese army relaxed a little, a series of sounds of breaking through the air directly woke up the Japanese soldiers deployed in Jiangsu and Anhui.

"Baga! The Ping'an County Security Corps' bombardment!"

"Boom boom boom boom boom."

Under Zhang Ning's command, several rocket artillery battalions in the heavy artillery cluster that had been deployed to the front line along with the troops had begun firing at the Japanese positions.

The Japanese soldiers on the position heard the attack of rocket launchers on the ground and immediately ran towards the fortifications. Those who were too far away from the fortifications directly defended on the spot.

However, the density of the Red Alert's rocket launchers was so high that the Japanese had never seen anything like it before.

The Fifth Army and the Seventh Army, deployed on the front line, suffered heavy casualties in the sudden artillery attack.

After the first round of rocket attacks, the heavy artillery cluster's 152mm howitzers and 130mm cannons also began artillery attacks on the Japanese troops.

"Baga! Send a telegram to the rear quickly! The Ping'an County Security Corps has begun its attack!"

"Hai!"

Under the orders of the Fifth and Seventh Army Headquarters, the Japanese army immediately passed the news of the Ping'an County Security Corps' attack to the rear.

Although the Japanese radio could not be used now, the Japanese army still passed messages to the rear through wired telephones.

Yoshio Shinozuka, who was commanding on the second line at the time, immediately called the commanders of the 10th and 13th Armies to inquire about the progress of the troops' reorganization after learning that the Ping'an County Security Corps had launched another attack.

The troops of these two armies escaped from North China, and after suffering heavy casualties, they had big problems with morale. After the new recruits were recruited, it would take some time to restore their combat effectiveness.

That's why the troops of these two armies were deployed to the second line.

"Commander, our 10th Army is still undergoing reorganization. It is estimated that it will take at least half a month to restore combat effectiveness."

"Commander, our 13th Army has suffered too much loss. The newly added troops will need at least a month to get back on track."

Listening to the status of the 10th and 13th armies, Yoshio Shinozuka frowned.

The Ping'an County Security Corps' army was about to attack, and they had no time at all, or the Fifth Army and the Seventh Army simply did not have enough time to reorganize and restore their combat effectiveness.

After all, they had been fighting with the Ping'an County Security Corps for so long, and Yoshio Shinozuka knew very well that if they only fought on the defensive, the Ping'an County Security Corps would definitely break through their first line of defense within three days.

This is a comprehensive assessment based on the terrain in East China. If it were in North China, the Seventh Army and the Fifth Army would probably not be able to survive a day.

But the Japanese didn't know that the Red Alert's attack was not a true full-scale attack, but to attract Japanese firepower to the special forces battalion's operations.

At this time, in the Marine Corps Command in Shanghai, Matsui Iwane also received news that the Ping'an County Security Corps had launched an attack.

In order to buy time for the 10th Army and the 13th Army on the second line, Matsui Iwane sent some independent mixed divisions around Shanghai to support the 5th Army and the 7th Army on the front line.

As for the outer security of Shanghai, it is the responsibility of the Guards.

As the Japanese army began to act, the Red Alert spies at the Red Alert Force Intelligence Department Shanghai Station immediately conveyed the intelligence in Shanghai to the Intelligence Department headquarters in Dagushan, and the Red Alert Force's satellites also continued to pay attention to the situation in the Shanghai area.

Seeing that the Japanese army had been attracted by Zhang Ning's frontal troops, various types of air force fighters on the runways of the Red Alert air force bases located at Dagu Mountain and Fengyang Mountain began to take off in an orderly manner.

In addition, the Red Alert Army Aviation also deployed a large number of helicopters around the special forces battalion’s base, waiting for the special forces members to board the planes and then take off and head straight for Shanghai.

The Air Force also brought out all its strength at this time, with four squadrons of fighter planes and attack planes alone being mobilized. At the same time, the Eighth Route Army's aviation team also joined the battle.

Of course, not all of these air force fighters were used to attack Shanghai.

Although the Red Alert's attack in Jiangsu and Anhui is still a feint, it is impossible for the Red Alert to let the Japanese see that they are conducting a feint.

Where we need to advance, we must advance; where we need to intersperse and encircle, we must intersperse and encircle.

During these operations, the Red Alert Force would definitely need air support. After all, the Japanese had basically left their thousands of fighter planes in the East China region, and they were always on alert and patrol in the sky.

In order to ensure the air superiority of the attacking force, the Red Alert Force must send a large number of air forces to carry out coordinated strikes, and also to cover the military operations against Shanghai.

At Fengyang base, after the soldiers of the special forces battalion boarded the planes, hundreds of helicopters immediately took off and flew to Shanghai to carry out their missions.

The special forces on the plane could not hold back their excitement. After all, this was not only a way to bring glory to their family, but also a way to go down in history! (End of this chapter)
