My girlfriend is from 1949

Chapter 172 It's even now, a fierce battle!

Boom boom boom~!

With a series of explosions, the tanks lying across the bridge were destroyed.

In order to defend themselves, the Kuomintang reactionaries also cleared out the artillery hidden in the shadows one by one.

Li Yimin's special squadron conducts continuous reconnaissance of the enemy situation every day.

We can see clearly all the enemy's heavy firepower and every single deployment.

They hadn't been taken care of before the main army arrived.

Now that the battle has officially begun, the first priority is to destroy those heavy firepower units.

Since we're not going to use heavy firepower like artillery to avoid damaging the city, then we have to be fair.

After being bombarded by drones, the heavy firepower painstakingly deployed by the Kuomintang reactionaries was completely destroyed.

This not only resulted in the loss of firepower advantage, but also caused a sharp drop in morale due to the sudden attack.

They had even less will to resist.

It's important to know that President Chiang Kai-shek attached great importance to Shanghai.

In order to provoke resistance from his subordinates, he even risked his life to come here personally.

He ordered that the city must hold out for six months to ensure that Shanghai does not fall.

Because that's his bargaining chip in international negotiations in the future!

He wasn't afraid of hard work and personally inspected every line of defense.

To boost morale, they claimed to have naval superiority, while the peasants on the other side had no navy and could not besiege Shanghai.

Supplies can be brought in by sea, and ammunition can be replenished by sea!

The advantage is on our side; we can win this battle!

In addition to heavy firepower, there are countless sturdy fortresses.

The Japanese spent eight years building a massive military fortress around Shanghai.

Thousands of bunkers, pillboxes, and firing points formed a crisscrossing network of firepower.

1. After the victory in the War of Resistance against Japan, the Kuomintang army took over these fortifications. Instead of dismantling them, they carried out large-scale reinforcement and expansion.

These hidden bunkers were their source of strength in resisting.

But now, it has long been exposed to the radar of drone reconnaissance.

Even if it isn't destroyed immediately, it will be blown up under the cover of the main force once the battle lines advance!

The sudden explosion left the Kuomintang reactionaries somewhat bewildered.

They hid behind sandbags and bunkers, not daring to even show their heads.

In any case, the orders from above were not to use artillery, in order to avoid accidental casualties.

However, the precise targeting by drones will prevent accidental attacks.

Moreover, the soldiers also used grenades after entering the city.

Therefore, as long as no damage is caused to buildings outside the bunker, the superiors tacitly approve.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the bridge, taking advantage of the drones' harassment of the enemy, an attack was launched.

The Kuomintang reactionary soldiers also discovered the enemy's actions.

He peeked out from behind the sandbag, a look of surprise on his face.

"What is that?"

"Is that glass?"

"Using glass as a shield? Are you crazy?"

"..."

When everyone peeked out from behind the sandbags, what they saw was a makeshift cart with glass inserted into it.

The soldiers pushed wheelbarrows with welded iron frames forward.

Bulletproof glass panels were fixed to the cart, arranged in a fan shape.

Soldiers can be protected from enemy bullets by hiding behind bulletproof glass and moving with the cart.

This design was suggested by Chen Huai'an.

Actually, Chen Huai'an didn't say anything; he just printed out a picture.

At one of the promotional events, a makeshift vehicle appeared and then unfolded its bulletproof shield like a peacock spreading its tail feathers.

The counter-terrorism forces are hidden behind the shields.

In this way, one can defend against enemy attacks simply by moving forward with the vehicle.

This is something officially created, so Chen Huai'an naturally wants to learn from it.

While it's time-consuming to create an automatically deployable defensive shield, it's quite easy to make one that folds manually.

All you need to do is prepare the iron frame in advance and then insert the bulletproof glass into it.

Another advantage is that it's easy to replace a broken glass.

Furthermore, to enhance the defensive capabilities, two pieces of bulletproof glass were used!

But from the other side's perspective, it seemed extremely strange.

If the People's Liberation Army used steel plates or truck doors as shields.

Even if all else fails, soaking a blanket and hanging it in front of your chest to block a bullet is understandable.

But the attacking troops followed right behind the glass.

There was absolutely no obstruction; you could see the person behind them directly!

It felt like the People's Liberation Army soldiers were just walking by.

Actually, during the design process, we considered adding an outer layer of fabric for covering.

But upon closer reflection, it's questionable whether such a cart could be used for a frontal attack.

The enemy is definitely using submachine guns and machine guns, firing at full power.

Whether or not you can see the person behind the glass is no longer important.

When facing enemy fire, it doesn't matter whether you can see people or not, since there's nowhere you can escape the barrage of fire.

Let the enemy see it, but not be able to attack it, thus increasing psychological pressure!

Anyway, bulletproof glass has already been used in cars, so it's not something that can be hidden.

A lieutenant hesitated for a moment, then snapped out of his daze and shouted, "What are you all standing there for? Fire!"

After saying that, he fired the first shot.

Suddenly, intense gunfire erupted from the bridge.

The glass, which was originally looked down upon by the Kuomintang reactionaries, was not pierced and blocked the bullets!

Meanwhile, the soldiers behind the glass peered out from the gap with their guns and began to fight back.

Close combat ensued, and the fiercest battle began.

Unfortunately, without the support of tanks and artillery, the concentrated firepower did not cause any damage to the People's Liberation Army.

Moreover, they stopped advancing when they reached a row of sandbags.

The soldiers took cover behind sandbags and launched a counterattack against the enemy.

Because of the information Lin Wan brought back, the superiors did not order a direct assault, but instead focused on drawing enemy fire.

As the first wave of soldiers advanced, it immediately triggered panic among the reactionary soldiers, who then launched a fierce attack on the bridge.

In particular, the heavy machine guns on the Paramount Ballroom, firing down from a high vantage point, were difficult to stop even from bulletproof glass, greatly hindering the attack.

If the main force were to charge, it would cause huge casualties!

Even with bulletproof glass, there will be heavy casualties if the bunkers upstairs cannot be cleared.

The higher authorities had already made arrangements for the Paramount building.

While advancing head-on on the bridge and drawing enemy fire, a battalion of soldiers had already quietly crept up to the vicinity of the building.

Each soldier carried a submachine gun and wore bulletproof vests purchased from the future.

The thousand bulletproof vests that Chen Huai'an purchased were for this battle!

Two machine guns were mounted outside the Paramount Ballroom.

From a distance, they spotted the approaching soldiers and opened fire.

The soldiers used grenades to destroy two machine guns and stormed into the building with great momentum.

As soon as they entered the building, they clashed with the guards on the first floor.

The two sides were less than two meters apart, facing each other and firing their guns at each other.

Da da da~!

After a burst of gunfire, all the enemies on the first floor fell into pools of blood.

Our soldiers, though shot, only took two steps back and did not fall.

Even though the ribs were broken by the powerful impact, the adrenaline surged at that moment, and there was no time to think about the pain in the body.

At this moment, the once most popular nightclub in Shanghai has become a cruel battlefield and meat grinder!
