"Bang-"

With a crisp gunshot, a bullet fired in a burst of bullets pierced through the right eye of a Japanese devil who was sticking out his head from the corner of an alley to check the situation, and pulled out a blood line from the back of his head and flew out.

The two devil "volunteers" next to him couldn't stand the terrifying atmosphere, turned around and ran, but two more bullets flew in, one of which opened a hole in the back of the devil's neck, and shot out directly from the heavenly spirit cover, and a blood dance mixed with white liquid spurted out. Another bullet came from the roof of the Shikumen tower diagonally above, piercing directly through the temple of the last devil, who didn't even snort and fell to the ground

Several special officers and soldiers alternated cover, quickly passed through the alley, and stopped at the entrance of the alley, where the Japanese hid on both sides of the alley, and the bullets made the walls on both sides clang.

Lei Biao, who led the team, raised his hand, told the brothers to wait, then took a Czech machine gun from the guard's hand, crawled to the ground, and moved forward along the corner of the wall to the mouth of the alley, and then suddenly rolled over, and rolled out of the alley, and the machine gun in his hand was aimed at the side of the alley and opened fierce fire.

The two Japanese devils, hiding behind a bunker made of rice bags, were staring at the entrance of the alley with all their attention, but before they could react, they were hit by Lei Biao's accurate short-point shot and died in the street.

The three devils on the other side shot desperately at Lei Biao, and several soldiers of the special service company took the opportunity to rush out, the rifles in their hands quickly fired, and a bloody hole was cut in the top of the head of a devil who was lying on the ground and shot, and the other devil who was standing and shooting was in the middle of the door, and the bullet shot in from the bridge of the nose and came out from the back of the head. There was also a devil who was shot in the chest, howled a few times and attracted a few bullets, and fell to the ground unwillingly.

All of a sudden, the obstacles that hindered the advance of the officers and men of the special service company in this direction were cleared.

In other directions, the spy company was also overwhelming everywhere it went, breaking through the defensive lines hastily built by the Japanese one after another. In the end, the "volunteers" organized by the Japanese are just civilian military organizations, even those soldiers who are in the countryside, but they have been away from the army for a long time, where have they seen such clever cooperation? The Japanese devils who invaded the Chinese border had to retreat in confusion and repeatedly organize defensive lines, but they were soon broken down again.

The officers and men of the spy company, who were frantically pursuing, drove the Japanese out of the area north and west of the railway almost without damage, and directly forced them back to the vicinity of the railway line, and then retreated to Hongkou, where the Japanese lived

At this time, the Japanese finally reacted and made full use of the barricades built by the Japanese marines in the area south and east of the railway, and then engaged in a fierce battle with the officers and men of the special service company in pursuit near the railway.

In addition, the Japanese marines deliberately ceded their in-depth defensive positions to the "volunteers," and the Japanese relied on the fortifications behind them to put up a stubborn resistance, and because there was a large open area in front of the railway line, they brought certain casualties to the officers and men of the special service company who were pursuing them.

"No, there is a lack of heavy firepower, so rushing over like this is definitely going to be killed"

Lu Kuiyuan saw with his own eyes that the two officers and soldiers in the charge were shot and fell to the ground, his eyes were red, and he turned his head and ordered: "Lei Biao, organize all the snipers and carry out long-range strikes against small Japan, Lao Tzu doesn't believe it, without mortars and heavy machine guns, this battle will not be fought."

"Yes"

Lei Biao nodded heavily and took the order.

A devil "volunteer" was holding a 38-type rifle with a plaster flag on the bayonet, and was turning his head around looking for a shooting target, at this moment, a "bang" gunshot, Sun Chengyuan shot a bullet into the head of this little devil with a white turban tied to the head of the Yamato soul.

The high-speed rotating bullet drilled a hole in the little devil's head and pierced directly into the skull, and the powerful kinetic energy of the bullet flew out of the skull with the skull fragments.

The devil's sharpshooter fell to the ground, and Bai Huahua's brains and dirty blood sprayed on the ground, looking like tofu brains with red peppers.

Sun Chengyuan smiled with satisfaction, turned the muzzle of the gun, and aimed at a little devil who took out a katana and was howling loudly, regardless of whether he was a commander or not, and firmly covered the little devil's head

"Count yourself out of luck"

Sun Chengyuan thought silently in his heart, his fingers gently pulled the trigger, only to hear a crisp gunshot, the red-hot bullet drilled a small hole in the opponent's eye and nose, and then drilled into the cranial cavity, and then burst out from behind, the whole head instantly broke a big hole, and the brains of Bai Huahua and the flying blood mist sprayed on the face of a little devil on the side.

"Ahhhhhh

This frightened little devil obviously had not experienced actual combat, and when he witnessed the tragic situation of the robe at close range, his heart and gall were broken, and he dropped the 38 guns in his hand, and ran to the rear of the railway.

The lucky little devil deserter, who had dodged many bullets in a row, had just crossed the railroad and retreated into the rear bunker, and before he could catch his breath, a devil with a strip of white cloth tied to the Yamato soul on his head waved the long knife in his hand, and the knife fell in his hand, and he cut off the head of this cowardly fellow at once.

"A guy like Baga is not a subject of the Great Japanese Empire at all"

The devil wielding the long knife roared: "Although we are volunteers, we are the reserve forces of the empire, we can't lose so ugly, if anyone withdraws, they will be killed."

"Hey—"

The Japanese in front of them replied sparsely, and in this continuous fire, forty or fifty devils had already died from the sniping of bullets in the distance, and all the rest were cowering in the makeshift trenches, not daring to move.

A stalemate ensued between the two sides.

Near noon, when the sun rose, some devils tried to stretch their necks and twist their waists, but they were all killed without exception, and the rest of the people had to cower and did not dare to move, tired, hungry and thirsty, and the Japanese in the rear barricades organized personnel to deliver water and food to the front several times, but they stayed on the other side of the railway line to say, once they crossed the border, they were all headshots without exception.

On the top of a small two-story western-style building about 200 meters away from the railway, Vice Admiral Hasegawa Kiyoshi, commander of the Japanese Navy's Third Fleet, and Rear Admiral Okawa Uchidenshichi, commander of the Marine Corps, both took a breath of cool air when they saw this scene

"How can there be so many sharpshooters among the Shina people?" The more Okawa Neichuan looked at it, the more frightened he became, and his brows tightened.

"It's definitely not the rabble of the Green Gang," Hasegawa Kiyoshi muttered to himself, and then asked, "What are the units of the Chinese army stationed in Shanghai?" ”

"Including Xinshi, Nanshi, and Zhabei, the Chinese side has only about two regiments of troops deployed in Shanghai, the Shanghai Police Corps and the Security Corps under the Songhu Garrison Command, and they are only equipped with light weapons, with a total strength of less than 3,000. Without exception, all of these troops have been infiltrated by us, and from the feedback from the insiders, no signs of movement have been found. In order to avoid contact with us, the two brigades stationed at Baziqiao and Yuedong Middle School took the initiative to withdraw from Zhabei before the start of the war and retreated to Hongqiao Airport in western Shanghai. ”

After the introduction of Dachuan Neichuan VII, he was confused: "Among the troops stationed in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, the 87th and 88th Divisions are stationed in Jiangyin, Wuxi, and Suzhou in Jiangsu, and the 56th Division is stationed in Jiaxing and Huzhou, Zhejiang...... Although the 87th and 88th Divisions are descendants of the Kuomintang Central Army, I have never heard of so many soldiers with surprisingly accurate marksmanship."

"Didn't the intelligence agencies have any news beforehand?" Hasegawa asked.

"Nope"

Okawa Nei Chuanqi said with certainty: "If I had known that Lu Dao had changed opponents, the loss would not have been so great today, Your Excellency Commander, what should we do now?" ”

Hasegawa Kiyoshi's face became extremely ugly: "Now it seems that the Shina people are not completely unprepared for the war, and we have mobilized almost two thousand men in two days. Brave team, but what is the result? Yesterday the rabble against the Green Gang did not win, and today it is even more inexplicably defeated"

"The domestic political situation is unstable, the parliament is worried about the situation in China, Prime Minister Lin has sent a telegram to ask us to restrain the imperial expatriates and not to cause trouble to the diplomatic department, I will accept it if I see it, anyway, the culprit Zhang Xiaolin has been killed, and after this incident, we can negotiate to occupy the Qing Gang's properties in the eastern and northern districts of the concession, and this income is enough to make up for the loss of casualties."

Okawa Nei Chuanqi hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded heavily: "Okay, I'll inform Shi Shejun and let him meet with Yu Hongjun, the mayor of Shanghai, and strive to let the imperial warriors stranded in the Chinese realm come back without landing."

Two hours later, when the devil "volunteers" stranded in the areas west and north of the railway were dizzy under the scorching sun and their physical exertion was too much to sustain, the officers and men of about a regiment of the Shanghai Police Corps and the Songhu Garrison Headquarters suddenly drove from west to east along the railway.

When Wu Ming saw the Shanghai government and army coming forward in the telescope, he knew that his mission had been successfully accomplished, and immediately issued an order for the whole army to retreat, and soon more than 100 officers and men disappeared into the alleys of Zhabei City.

The next day, while the Chinese and Japanese governments were still holding consultations on how to deal with the aftermath, the news media had already spread the news of the victory of the Qing Gang in the first battle of Zhabei to passers-by, and the entire land of China was shaken.

Without the help of the great powers, the Chinese side repelled the Japanese rude cross-border provocation with the strength of the people, which may be insignificant to Britain, France, the United States and other countries, but for the Chinese, who have been oppressed by the foreign powers for a long time, this is the beginning of the nation's self-esteem and self-improvement

All this glory fell on Du Yuesheng's head

Du Yuesheng used his heroic, tenacious and indomitable fighting spirit to win the recognition of the people of Shanghai and even the whole country, but Britain, France, the United States and other countries were very skeptical, can the rabble of the Green Gang really be able to fight against the Japanese semi-military organization "Volunteers"?

Moreover, judging from the situation after the war, after two days of fighting, the Qing Gang lost a total of 823 people, of whom 791 were killed, while the Japanese side also lost as many as 778 people, of whom 630 were killed on the spot.

It's all unbelievable
