The building was so strong that the Japanese shells bombarded it many times, but it was not destroyed. It is suitable to be used as a field hospital. Qin Chuan said.

At this time, his dragon city flying general system could not work, at most he could buy some medicine to stop bleeding or reduce inflammation for the soldiers. However, those soldiers who perform surgery need specialized medical personnel to be able to perform the operation.

Qin Chuan began to miss Lu Chengshuang at this time, that girl has very good medical skills, if she is here, I don't know how many wounded people can escape from the hands of death.

But now that Lu Chengshuang is far away in Nanjing City, it is impossible for him to appear here.

What he didn't know was that at this time, Lu Chengshuang had already ridden a small donkey purchased from a farmer's house and began to rush towards Qinchuan and them.

"Tell the soldiers, hurry up and transfer the wounded, the little devils don't have much time left for us, they must have another attack in the afternoon." Qin Chuan said that Xiao Mao said.

As Qin Chuan said, the Japanese army, which had sufficient troops, soon launched a second attack.

However, this time the Japanese attack was on a larger scale, and their target of attack also changed from Ping'an Street to several surrounding neighborhoods.

This is a strategic decision made by Matsui Ishine after calming down.

He planned to occupy a few blocks around Ping'an Street first, and then his troops would be able to form a semi-encirclement posture on Ping'an Street.

Originally, they could only attack from the front, but this time they were able to attack Ping'an Street from both sides, on the one hand, they could spread out more troops, and on the other hand, Qin Chuan had to defend the Japanese troops in three directions, dispersing his defensive forces.

When the fighting was fierce on the front line, those war correspondents also reported the situation of the battle at this time for the first time.

Newspapers and radio stations were almost all publicizing the achievements of the third battalion at this time. In fact, not only them, but also Japanese reporters are also covering the battle on Heian Street.

At this time, Ping'an Street became an area that both China and Japan focused on, as if anyone who could occupy this area of Ping'an Street for a long time would be able to win the final victory in this battle.

The Japanese attack in the afternoon was mainly concentrated in a few blocks on the flank of Ping'an Street, which were all garrisoned by the 524th Regiment, except for the 2nd Battalion, which had already fallen into the hands of the Japanese army, and the other blocks were still under their control.

The third battalion stationed on Ping'an Street was given a chance to breathe in the afternoon. The Japanese only sent a squadron of troops to make a feint against them, ensuring that they would send troops to support a few neighborhoods around them.

However, the Japanese army obviously underestimated the combat determination of the other units of the 524th Regiment, because of the exemplary role of the third battalion, the other combat battalions also showed a more resolute determination to resist than before.

Yang Ruifu, the commander of the first battalion, even said directly when mobilizing the soldiers: "The brothers of the third battalion are all gentlemen, if we lose our damn position, then we must not be laughed off by the brothers of the third battalion?" Do you want to be seen as a misbreed by the brethren of the three battalions? Do you want to be seen by the people of the whole country as a bad seed? ”

Those soldiers naturally shouted that they were unwilling, and when they fought against the Japanese army, they were all braver than before.

This is the effect of morale, because with the three battalions of Qinchuan as an example, they continuously repelled the Japanese attack, so that the entire Zhabei position, and even the entire Shanghai Nationalist position, showed a higher combat enthusiasm than before.

Some units of the National Army, because they were inspired by the continuous defeat of the Japanese army by the third battalion of Qinchuan, even looked for a gap in the Japanese attack and launched a counteroffensive against the Japanese army, and also achieved certain results.

The afternoon assault lasted longer, but its scope expanded from Ping'an Street to the entire Zhabei position.

It's just that this attack of the Japanese army still ended in failure. The high morale of the 88th Division of the National Army gave them a sense of invincibility.

Matsui Ishine had also realized that the morale of the enemy on the opposite side was unprecedentedly high. The soldiers under his command were strong-willed, and even sometimes very crazy, but in this afternoon's battle, the Chinese soldiers on the opposite side were even more crazy.

In order to block the advance of the Japanese army in the block, many soldiers of the national army even directly played with human bombs, tied grenades up and down their bodies, and jumped from the upper floor to the crowd of Japanese soldiers below. At the cost of his own life, he blocked the advance of the Japanese troops.

More and more Shanghai citizens began to go to the banks of Suzhou Creek to cheer for the soldiers of the 88th Division across the river. Some civilians spontaneously formed stretcher teams to help the soldiers of the 88th Division transport the wounded to the field hospital in the rear.

Looking at the people who were still cheering up their morale in the evening, Qin Chuan couldn't help but sigh: "The rise and fall of the country is the responsibility of the husband." Although these civilians could not fight directly, they were also fighting against Japan in their own way. ”

The failure of the offensive in the afternoon forced Matsui to convene a military meeting again and begin to readjust the strategic deployment.

Chuan Heishiro stood in front of the huge map with a solemn face, and the other Japanese commanders in the command headquarters also had solemn faces. This is in stark contrast to the expressions on their faces a few days ago when they threatened to break through the gate positions and occupy Shanghai within three days.

A few days ago, before the 88th Division changed its defense, these Japanese commanders had already decided that the enemy's morale on the opposite side had been low and their morale was exhausted, and they only needed to attack for two more days to complete the breakthrough of the position.

But now it seems that this time has to be postponed.

"Hey, I said Chuan Hei Shiro-kun, isn't your tank brigade invincible? Why didn't you break through the defense line of Ping'an Street this time? Ogawa said loudly after the draw of the Japanese Third Tank Brigade.

His troops had just been transported from the Japanese mainland to the Shanghai battlefield by transport ship, and had not yet participated in the official battle.

Chuanping Shiro said coldly: "Your Excellency Xiaochuan, I think your tank troops have reached Ping'an Street, and most of them have even taken themselves in, and they can't break through the enemy's defense line." ”。

Matsui Ishine was looking at the map in front of him, and when he heard the two choking each other there, he immediately cleared his throat and said, "Shut up!" Xiao Chuanjun, you just arrived at the Shanghai battlefield, and if you don't understand the situation, don't speak. ”

The man who fought Xiao Chuan was arrogant and had a prominent background, so he immediately said: "Your Excellency Commander-in-Chief, I ask to be the main attack on Ping'an Street tomorrow. My tank units are all equipped with Type 89 tanks, and the infantry is skilled in coordinated combat, so I will definitely be able to take Ping'an Street in one fell swoop. ”
