Qin Chuan's troops had a clear goal in their assault, and under the nameless long-range observation, they were able to quickly lock on to the position of the Japanese troops, and find the dead angle of their machine gun fire, and carry out an assault from the flank.

Compared with Qinchuan's troops, the Japanese army's troops were simply blind. I don't know how many people the enemy has, I don't know where the enemy is, and I don't know what the enemy's offensive intentions are.

Therefore, although the number of people is small, this Japanese army is very passive and falls into a state of exhaustion.

In addition, they had just entered Ping'an Street, and they were not very familiar with this block, which made it even more difficult for the two squadron leaders of the Japanese army to coordinate and command the troops.

In just over ten minutes, the Japanese troops fell into command confusion. Fifteen minutes later, the defensive line that was blocking the assault of the main force of the third battalion in the front was broken through by Wang Daliu, Chen Xingchen and others with their troops because of the lack of firepower composed of machine gun fire.

The Japanese army began to fall into a rout, and many small units and squadron commanders lost contact and chose to retreat directly to the rear blocks. And the rest of the remaining Japanese troops also have their own ways to survive.

They had previously looked down on the defeated Ishihara Tachii Brigade, and felt that it was really unreasonable for a battle to be fought like that. But now that they have encountered a situation similar to that of Ishihara Tachii at the beginning, they know how difficult it is to unify the deployment and command of troops in this kind of melee in which you have me and I have you.

In addition, Qin Chuan's assault force is really strong, and in this kind of street fighting, the power of the flower mechanism can just get the best power. In the close-range engagement, the Japanese army did not have any weapons, which could be compared to the flower mechanism in Qin Chuan's hands.

On Ping'an Street under the cover of night, the remnants of the third and second battalions began to become the masters of this block again.

In just half an hour, the two squadrons of the Japanese army that had just entered this neighborhood were brutally defeated by Qin Chuan's troops.

After reoccupying Ping'an Street, Qin Chuan and they didn't have time to celebrate.

"All the troops immediately went into the Ping'an Street defense, using the remaining houses and walls for defense. The Japanese counterattack may be imminent in a moment. Qin Chuan yelled at his troops as he walked through the streets full of corpses.

At this time, some soldiers of the second battalion, because their battalion commander Sun Changhui did not know where they were at this time, were temporarily organized into a company by Qin Chuan to defend Ping'an Street together.

A reporter took advantage of this gap in the battle to run over, chased after Qin Chuan and asked, "Battalion Commander Qin, may I ask if you have anything to say about taking Ping'an Street back again?" ”

Qin Chuan glanced at the reporter, and then said impatiently: "I didn't see that there was a war, you reporters don't want to die, so hurry up and roll to the back, and the little devil's shells will fall for a while, but it doesn't matter if you are a reporter or a soldier." ”

But the reporter said with a very firm look: "You are a big hero, and we reporters are not a bad breed." I had been hiding in the rear, and now I want to be a witness to this battle, to write your story in the newspapers, and to let more people know about you. ”

Qin Chuan waved his hand and said, "What do you like, don't delay Lao Tzu's defense." With that, he jumped onto the top of a ruin and instructed the soldiers next to him to set up a machine-gun firing point.

The reporter looked at Qin Chuan, and his eyes became more determined.

He is Bao Ziwen, a reporter from Shanghai Ta Kung Pao who interviewed Sun Changhui before, and after understanding the situation clearly, Bao Ziwen's admiration for Qin Chuan is simply incomprehensible.

In his head, a heart-pounding press release has been automatically written.

"A true hero is incognito, and the credit is taken away by a mediocre talent. But this hero didn't care about this at all, and after the mediocre commander lost his position, he led his troops back again and killed the Japanese army. ”

Such a press release, just thinking about it, is full of legends.

After hearing that his troops had occupied Ping'an Street, Matsui Ishine originally thought that this time the assault mission had been completed and that he could sleep peacefully tonight. However, before he could return to his headquarters, he was informed by the chief of staff that Ping'an Street had been recaptured by the enemy.

After hearing this, Matsui Shigen was furious and said: "The strength of the two squadrons, how long has it been since they were beaten back?" They should kill themselves by seppuku!! ”

His chief of staff said helplessly: "The main reason is that the enemy's assault is too fierce, and the enemy's commander commands the troops to fight, which is also very weird, and always appears in the most undesirable places." ”

Matsui Ishine said in a loud voice: "Excuses!!" It's all an excuse!! Order them to organize a counterattack immediately, and be sure to snatch Ping'an Street back, if tomorrow morning, I can't see the Rising Sun Flag flying over Ping'an Street, then the two captains of them can commit suicide by seppuku. ”

The anger accumulated during the day, as well as the psychological gap between the gains and losses of Ping An Street, made Matsui Shigen even more irritable.

The Japanese troops soon launched a counterattack.

Two Japanese brigades, with a force of nearly 1,000 men, attacked their positions from both flanks of Ping'an Street at the same time, wanting to recapture this block from Qinchuan and their hands.

But Qin Chuan and the others had already been ready to meet the enemy, and the commander of Ping'an Street at this time was not Sun Changhui, who was unlearned, but Qin Chuan, who was able to fight a tough battle, and the three battalions of soldiers under him.

The attack of the Japanese troops continued until the second half of the night. They left hundreds of corpses on the periphery of Ping'an Street, and many of them broke into the interior of Ping'an Street, and they were also strangled by the ubiquitous enemy.

At the end of the night, more than 250 Japanese soldiers were killed in front and back, and many soldiers were wounded and unable to participate in the battle.

Such huge losses basically made one of the Japanese brigades lose the ability to continue fighting, and had to go to the rear to replenish the troops.

After the battle ended in the second half of the night, Bao Ziwen hurriedly returned to the newspaper office. The other reporters also returned to their respective newspapers.

And the first thing they did when they returned to the newspaper office was to record what they had seen last night.

Some reporters only recorded Qin Chuan's heroic deeds for fear of offending people, but did not say a word about Sun Changhui's impersonation and the rout with his troops.

But some reporters, such as Bao Ziwen, recorded the whole incident.
