Just when the People's Army Air Force eliminated those Japanese tanks, Xue Yue also took out his own family resources, twenty 75mm field guns and more than thirty 60 mortars, plus dozens of 81 mortars supported by Chen Shao, let out an angry roar together, pouring shells at the Japanese army. At this time, the Japanese offensive went from being completely suppressed to beginning to retreat. Xue Yue did not let go of this opportunity, one of the division commanders with one of his own divisions of troops, launched a counter-charge, not only to take back the forward position, but also to charge all the way to the large force of the Japanese army, with the help of fighters and artillery, the Japanese could not organize an effective counterattack at all.

The Japanese army, who had already been stunned, could not care about the officers who were still wielding their command knives. It is strange that these officers die very quickly, and in the face of such a striking target, the heavenly fighters will let it go.

At this time, the brigade commander and the commander of the tank wing in the rear had a dead face, and the battle situation turned too fast, and what was supposed to be a good form suddenly came a 180-degree turn. At this time, the two of them already regretted it a lot, whether it was the road army or the marines, they had their own air defense forces, but now they still don't know enough about air defense, and the air defense forces didn't follow at all. And they did not expect that China, which was vulnerable in their eyes, would have such an advanced aircraft.

After the planes flew away, one of Xue Yue's divisions also stopped the attack, picked up all kinds of weapons along the way, and returned to the defensive position. Three defensive lines were dug in front of the fortress, and in the battle just now, the Japanese had already broken through the forward positions, and even the second line of defense was almost breached. Fortunately, the plane arrived in time and did not have any adverse consequences. Xue Yue's counterattack was very timely, and in this counterattack, the Japanese army could be regarded as suffering heavy casualties, more than half of the casualties of a brigade and regiment, and the battlefield wing was wiped out. However, one of Xue Yue's divisions also suffered half a regiment casualties, but compared to the Japanese army, it was not bad, if it were not for the help of the air force, such an achievement would never have occurred. The current Japanese army is the most elite unit in Japan, and it is not at all comparable to those miscellaneous fish in the later stage of the Anti-Japanese War.

The people watching from a distance also cheered, and the shutter of those poor cameras was about to be broken by those reporters, and these reporters were also very excited, if China won this war, it could be regarded as China's counterattack on Japan, another century of news after the First World War.

The brigade commander of the 7th Division retreated directly to the landing beachhead with the remaining troops, and he did not dare to stay there now, if the other side organized another decisive attack, one of his brigades and regiments would be fully reimbursed.

When Shirakawa Yoshinori and Hasegawa Kiyoshi learned about the battle situation, both of them were so angry that they couldn't speak, and Shirakawa Yoshinori directly gave the brigade commander more than a dozen big-eared stickers, and the tank wing captain was naturally not spared, and was beaten even worse by Hasegawa Kiyoshi. If it weren't for the fact that the main reason for the failure was not on the two of them, then they would only be greeted by seppuku to wash away their failures.

After venting, Yoshinori Shirakawa and Kiyoshi Hasegawa calmed down. The news brought by the failed vanguard is really shocking, a fighter with very superior performance, it can be said that this failure is because of the emergence of Chinese fighters. We still can't believe that there is such an advanced thing in China. The monoplane structure, which is very fast, is not at all comparable to the current own biplane fighters. Such news is definitely more terrible to them than being completely raped and destroyed. From this point we can think of many things, if we say that they are bought from abroad, then it is impossible to hide from them, light weapons do not know that it is reasonable, airplanes are strategic-level heavy weapons, and this kind of thing will be paid attention to in every way as soon as it comes out. And now the countries of the world simply do not have such advanced aircraft, let alone sell them to China. Then there is only one result, and that is what they made themselves, and if this kind of thing comes true, it will be terrible. That shows that the current China has completely surpassed the empire in weapons, and then think of the Japanese-style weapons that have been appearing on the land of China over the years. Originally, they thought that these weapons were imitated by themselves, and in the past, in order to raise funds, they had sold those weapons to China. Now there are more and more Japanese-style weapons in China, and it is obvious that there is definitely an imperial terrible pair in China, and this opponent, while developing its own, is also producing Japanese-style weapons for sale. And this opponent doesn't need to think about it, it is Chen Shao, the chairman of the southwest who dared to declare war on the empire.

The two of them now lose their former self-confidence, and Shirakawa Yoshinori also regrets coming here to be the commander of the dispatch army. If it hadn't been argued at the time, it was the Minister of the Navy who was frowning now, not himself. Hasegawa Kiyoshi was even more distressed, a complete tank wing and forty carrier-based aircraft were all wiped out, which was equivalent to half of his own strength being wiped out. The Third Fleet has two aircraft carriers, one is Akagi and the other is Kaga, and the combined number of carrier-based aircraft of the two aircraft carriers is only about 80 carrier-based aircraft, which means that one aircraft carrier has lost its combat effectiveness. This was fatal for the Third Fleet, which had no battleships, only two aircraft carriers, and was also the first of the two combat aircraft carriers in the Empire.

However, the war has already begun, and it cannot be stopped now, and while the two of them report to the base camp, they also keep urging the landing force to hurry up, and the next attack must also bring all the anti-aircraft weapons over.

The Japanese base camp is also quarreling now, and there are two points of view, one is to make peace temporarily, and then take revenge when Japan is ready for a full-scale war. One is that Tanaka Yoshiichi demanded that the war continue, and that the Great Japanese Empire must not sue for peace with China, otherwise the people will lose confidence in the cabinet. At that time, his own prime minister will be at the end. In the end, there were many supporters of Yoshiichi Tanaka, and Hirohito also wanted to continue fighting, and he did not believe that the empire would lose to Shina. The news of the base camp soon reached the headquarters of the dispatch army, but the words were very harsh, warning Shirakawa Yoshinori to fight this battle.

By the time the Japanese troops arrived at Baoshan, it was almost dusk, and in the setting sun, the figure of the Japanese army appeared in Xue Yue's eyes again. However, he was not worried at all now, although the Japanese army seemed to be divided into many parts, and now his mission was coming to an end, and the Second Front Army had already entered the boundary of Shanghai at this time, and was now rushing here. He didn't expect this mission to be so easy, and originally thought that he would have to go through a hard battle of life and death before he could wait for the arrival of the Second Front Army.

The Japanese troops who arrived this time were all the land forces of the Shanghai Dispatch Army, with 500 artillery pieces and a third of the heavy artillery. But now it's dusk, and the carrier-based aircraft can't come to help in the war, even if they can come, Hasegawa Kiyoshi doesn't dare to send the carrier-based plane, if he encounters the opponent's plane again, it will be tantamount to delivering food. If there were no carrier-based aircraft, then its own Third Fleet would be half useless.

In this battle, Shirakawa Yoshinori personally rushed to the front line to command, and his current pressure is very heavy, he cannot afford to lose, and the empire cannot afford to lose. If this war is lost, the empire will also fail, and he will be the biggest sinner of the Japanese Empire. The current empire no longer has the strength to send to China, and those recruits have not yet formed combat effectiveness, and they are useless when they come.

Just as the Japanese army was preparing for the attack, the infantry of one of Chen Fuqin's corps also reached Baoshan. Seeing that he was walking in front of him as a soldier about his age, but he looked much more mature than himself, Xue Yue asked uncertainly, "Are you Commander Chen?" ”

"I'm Chen Fuqin, and you're Commander Xue?" At the same time that Xue Yue was looking at Chen Fuqin, he was also looking at the other party.

After getting confirmed, Xue Yue saluted a military salute, no matter how you say it now, it also belongs to the southwest, the other party's position is higher than his own, and the etiquette must not be less.

"Xue Yue has seen Commander Chen!"

"How's it going?"

"Commander Chen, in the afternoon battle, with the help of the air force, we repelled an enemy attack, but now there are a lot of enemies coming over, and it seems that there are at least seventy or eighty thousand, so we have been preparing for a lot of time."

"Hmmm! I see, now it's up to my troops to take over your line. Chen Fuqin is very confident in the strength he brings, and the troops of the Fourth Army are his old troops, and their combat effectiveness is very strong.

"Commander Chen, I don't see many people in your army, don't you need us to help you? And we're going to stand down and watch you fight? I don't agree with that, your troops can fight, I admit it, but my men are not muddy! Hearing Chen Fuqin's words, Xue Yue was a little surprised. It is true that the troops in the southwest can fight, but their own soldiers are not of a bad breed.

"Brother Xue, you misunderstood what I meant, you retreat, there are more important tasks." Chen Fuqin can completely understand Xue Yue's feelings, but the intensity of the next battle is not something that Xue Yue's troops can handle, it is not that he looks down on them, but there is no need to send them to death.

"Oh! What are the tasks? Brother Xue made Xue Yue's heart warm, how to say it, he is still just a general, the other party, as a commander of 100,000 people, can call himself a brother and brother, and also give himself enough face.

"Go to Hongkou, block all the intersections in Hongkou, and prohibit anyone from passing, no matter what nationality they are."

"Commander Chen, this is not good!" Xue Yue was a little puzzled, weren't they afraid of disputes with other countries?

"There's nothing wrong with that, we're at war with Japan right now, and the rest of us don't have to pay attention. And we're just blocking for a while, not for long! Chen Fuqin shook his head, this is Chen Shao's order, he will only carry it out unconditionally. As for the rest, it is not his responsibility.

"Oh, I see."

Then the two armies began to alternate, and in the dim night, the Japanese did not realize that their opponents had changed. The people and reporters who had been watching from a distance also left, and when the evening came, they couldn't see anything if they wanted to.

In an open space behind Baoshan, the artillery of the Second Front Army was also building artillery positions. The number of artillery pieces of the entire Second Front reached 800 pieces, and all of them were large-caliber. At present, the field army units of the People's Army are rarely equipped with 75mm artillery except for battle defense artillery and air guns, and the firepower is composed of individual rocket launchers and mortars.
