Chapter Eighty-One: Make Another Meritorious Achievement!

"Sounding balloons?"

Seeing the sounding balloon rising above the devil's position on the south bank of the Huangpu River, Yang Jing's eyes suddenly froze.

If it was before, Yang Jing might have thought that this was just an ordinary hot air balloon, but now, after having mastered defensive warfare, Yang Jing knew that the sounding balloon raised by the little devil was definitely not that simple.

The little devil wants to use the sounding balloon to lock on and detect the specific location of his artillery position.

If it were an ordinary country. Commander, maybe there is nothing to do with the devil's probe balloon.

But Yang Jing had already guarded against the little devil's hand, he put down the binoculars, and shouted to Ma Tong, the guard platoon commander next to him: "Ma Tong, order all the soldiers of all companies to throw smoke bombs for Lao Tzu." ”

……

The south bank of the Huangpu River.

When he saw the white smoke rising from the north bank, Gu Shoufu suddenly felt bad.

However, he still had a trace of illusion in his heart, so with a gloomy face, he asked the adjutant Shimono Ichihuo: "Yaga! What is the weather team up to? Why hasn't the exact orientation of the Chinese artillery been demarcated? ”

"I'm going to ask." Shimono Kazuho bowed and quickly ran over to ask.

After a while, he hurried over again, and reported with a drooping face: "Your Excellency Commander, according to the response of the meteorological team, white smoke is diffused everywhere on the position of the Chinese Army, and the specific situation is completely unclear, so it is impossible to determine the position of the artillery of the Chinese Army. ”

"Yaga! What a cunning Shina man! The last glimmer of hope in his heart was shattered, and Gu Shoufu's old face suddenly turned blue and purple.

Chief of Staff Shimono Kazuho said: "It seems that the commander of the Shina Army on the opposite side is a difficult opponent, and he seems to have expected that the Imperial Army will send a weather team to determine the position of his artillery, so he came up with a countermeasure to release smoke grenades.

At the moment, we can only turn to naval aviation for support. ”

After a pause, Shimono Kazuho continued: "But it's too late today, we might as well take a break and wait until tomorrow morning to continue the operation." ”

Gu Shoufu fell into a deep groan.

At this time, an intelligence staff officer suddenly hurried over, and reported with a very solemn face: "Your Excellency, the commander of the reporting division, the identity information of the defenders on the opposite side has been found. ”

"Oh?" Gu Shoufu's eyes froze, he was eager to know the identity information of the army on the north bank of the Huangpu River, which had brought great shame to the imperial army, and hurriedly asked: "Which army is on the other side?" ”

The intelligence staff officer paused: "Tiger camp." ”

"Tiger camp?" Gu Shoufu's face changed: "Is it the Tiger Battalion that brought great shame to the 3rd Division of the Imperial Army in Baoshan?" ”

"Hello!"

"It is no wonder that this Chinese army was able to inflict heavy losses on the vanguard of the imperial army and the troops crossing the river.

It seems that this Yang Jing is really not simple. ”

After learning that the opponent was Tiger Benying, Gu Shoufu regained his original calm.

As a famous general of the empire, he is naturally not a fool who loses his mind when he gets angry.

Shimono Ichihuo reminded on the side: "Your Excellency the division commander, should we order to stop crossing the river?" ”

"Hmm!" Gu Shoufu said: "This Yang Jing can inflict heavy losses on the imperial army one after another, and he is really a difficult opponent. Today, the imperial army is not fully prepared, and it is indeed not suitable to cross the river to fight! ”

After saying this, Gu Shoufu's face suddenly became gloomy: "However, the 6th Division of our Imperial Army is not comparable to the straw bales of the 3rd Division!"

This branch of the army wants to build glory on the head of our 6th Division, it is simply a fool's dream!

On my order, the troops crossing the river immediately moved in.

The army rested for a while, and after dark, bypassed the Songjiang pier and crossed the river from upstream and downstream!

In addition, the artillery company was ordered to open fire immediately to cover the transfer of the troops crossing the river! ”

"Haya!"

Shimono paused heavily, and immediately led the order to leave.

Above the Huangpu River.

When the devil's troops crossed the river received the order to move in, they were overjoyed. They scrambled to turn around and row the boat towards the south bank, fleeing the river in disarray.

"Help, wait for us, wait for us!"

The devil soldiers who fell into the river were hoarse for help while paddling hard.

"Want to run?"

The corners of Yang Jing's mouth raised, revealing a cruel smile, and then said to Ma Tong, the guard platoon commander next to him: "Order the artillery company, extend Lao Tzu's firepower, and bomb the damn!" ”

"Yes!"

Ma Tong received the order with a bang, and immediately called to convey the order to the artillery company.

Then, the artillery of both sides opened fire on all sides and engaged in an artillery battle of unprecedented scale.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

The sound of explosions one after another suddenly resounded over the entire Songjiang wharf, as if they were about to tear apart the supreme sky.

The shells that fell in the Huangpu River not only continued to cause great casualties to the devils' troops crossing the river, but also greatly increased the difficulty of the devils' crossing and paddling.

In the end, only two or three hundred of the more than 1,000 devil soldiers who crossed the river escaped back to the south bank of the Huangpu River.

The defenders on the north bank were all hiding in strong fortifications, and the positions were full of smoke, and the devils could only shoot blindly, so the casualties of the defenders were much smaller than those of the devils.

Yang Jing stood in a position with a wide field of vision, watching the devil cross the river in embarrassment, and the eyes in the telescope were cast in other directions to observe.

While observing, he is also thinking far-reachingly.

The Japanese 6th Division suffered a crushing defeat today, and it will definitely not give up. The enemy will definitely deploy a new battle plan and make a comeback again.

At that time, the little devils will be more ferocious, and the battle will be more tragic.

After thinking for a moment, Yang Jing had a new defensive plan in his mind.

Immediately, he ordered the rake ear to call and inquire about the casualties in the forward positions.

Soon, the battle damage data was reported.

In the first company, 13 people were killed and 25 were wounded, of which 8 were seriously wounded and 17 were lightly wounded.

The second company suffered 18 casualties and 30 wounded, including 6 seriously wounded and 24 lightly wounded.

The artillery company lost 14 people.

The Songjiang Security Force suffered 42 casualties and 63 wounded, including 28 seriously wounded and 35 lightly wounded.

The defenders suffered nearly 200 casualties, almost all of which were inflicted by devil aviation and artillery.

Although the casualties were quite heavy, they were nothing compared to the results achieved.

After this great victory, not only the morale of the Tiger Battalion soldiers was high, but the straw bales of the Songjiang Security Team were also full of confidence in the next battle.

Follow the Tiger Camp to fight devils, it's cool!

Taking into account the casualties of the 1st Company, the 2nd Company, and the 1st Squadron of the Security Brigade, Yang Jing replaced them, and the 3rd Company, the 4th Company, and the 2nd Squadron of the Security Brigade were responsible for taking over the forward position of the Songjiang Wharf.

At the same time, it is responsible for guarding the river shoreline.

Yang Jing knew that it was almost impossible to hold the entire river bank line with the strength of the defenders.

However, it is necessary to ensure the accuracy and timeliness of the information and prevent the camp from being robbed by the Japanese army overnight.

After a while, the rake ear suddenly rushed over and reported: "Company commander, good news, reinforcements from the 67th Army have arrived!" ”
