The people in the bunker have adapted to the loud sound of the ship's guns and the tremor of the earth, and will no longer be nervous because of the Japanese shelling, but this time the shelling time seems to be much longer than before, Yu Sanhe feels strange, in his understanding, the Japanese army's tactics are the most rigid, and there will rarely fluctuate, but this time the shelling actually exceeded the previous half an hour, this is definitely not a coincidence, it may not be a precursor to the Japanese army's 6 surprise attack again.

Thinking of this, he immediately grabbed the phone on the table, shook it violently, and said hurriedly: "Notify the beachhead in the north and south sections to immediately enter a state of first-level combat readiness, and the Japanese army may attack tonight." ”

On the other end of the phone, a voice of surprise and nervousness.

"Tuanza, I just received a notice that the Japanese army has begun to launch a surprise attack."

Sure enough, Yu Sanhe hung up the phone with a heavy heart, stared at the fortress map on the table, and in less than half a minute, he turned his head and asked the adjutant, "Has our telegram for help been returned by the Fifth Army?" ”

The adjutant's eyes were gloomy, "I haven't returned, I'm afraid the battle situation over there is not good......

Yu Sanhe pressed his hands on the table, trembling because he tried his best to restrain his anger, good Zhang Wenbaiming, my ninth regiment held this Wusong fortress, not to mention the distance, only to say that this is close in front of him, but also for him to contain a considerable part of the devils in the Songhu defense line, if the Wusong fortress falls, the first unlucky one is his Fifth Army, with his dignified National Revolutionary Army 6th Army General can't see the key to this.

"Tuanza, Commander Wu telegraphed."

Yu Sanhe was greatly surprised, their capture of Wusong Fortress was originally a temporary intention, and it was even more impossible to see the fortress in the original battle plan, in other words, a series of decisions made by him and Li Zejun, the commander of the 57th Division, had doomed the Ninth Regiment to become an outcast, although it was difficult to accept in the supervisor, but this was the path he personally chose.

"Read."

"The fortress of Wusong is a vital and indispensable point of the Beijing-Shanghai battlefield, so as to defend it, so that the Japanese army will not attack Nanjing and Shanghai with all their might...... I'll telegraph the Fifth Army to send reinforcements to help you hold the fort......"

Yu Sanhe didn't expect that the telegram from the newly established commander of the Beijing-Shanghai garrison was actually an order, and he felt a little excited, his sacrifice in the Wusong fortress was known to the commander, and the commander recognized that his actions were a vital and indispensable part of the entire campaign, that is to say, once the task was completed despite the Japanese attack, the entire battle situation would have a reversal of the outcome.

Thinking of this question, he changed from affirmation to hesitation, can the two thousand people of the ninth regiment plus the less than one regiment of defenders of the original fortress be able to hold here, the battle has only been going on for one day, he has exhausted the most elite battalion, his ninth regiment is full of iron and can grind a few nails, how can it withstand such a violent attrition, but another thought, the commander trusts us, the people are looking at the Shanghai battlefield, he Zhang Zhizhong retains his strength and shrinks into the defense line, our Shandong army is not a bad seed, and we must not let the little devils take advantage of it. It's just that the whole regiment is all gone, what if the head falls off soon after it is a big scar, and twenty years later, he is a good man.

Determined to make up his mind, he came to the front of the bunker to try to observe the enemy situation on the river, but the fog was much worse than during the day, and even the fire of the warships firing in the fog was a little faint.

Yu Sanhe didn't know that on the river facing him at this moment, a steel giant ship with a displacement of more than 30,000 tons was eyeing him.

Due to the stalemate in the battle in Shanghai, Lieutenant General Kenkichi Ueda, commander of the 9th Division of the Songhu Battlefield Commander, was lackluster in command, and the war in Shanghai was corrupted, but a strategic breakthrough was made at Qiyakou, the first line of defense of the country of China has been destroyed, and the capital Nanjing has been faintly in sight.

In order to increase the victory in the Battle of Nanjing and Shanghai, the Cabinet, which had already turned to the military department, sent General Yoshinori Shirakawa, the minister of the 6th Army, to take over Kenkichi Ueda to command the entire battle in Nanjing and Shanghai.

As soon as he arrived in Shanghai, he encountered the battle of Wusong Fortress, so Shirakawa Yoshinori took the battleship Nagato to drive directly to the mouth of the Wusong River, and the fog and river water were getting shallower, so he had to stop at a distance of three nautical miles from several cruisers of the Third Fleet to observe the battlefield.

Shirakawa Yoshinori immediately summoned Vice Admiral Yoshizaburo Nomura, commander of the Third Fleet, and asked him about the details of the battle at the fortress of Wusongkou.

Murano Kichizaburo boarded the battleship Nagato with great shame and mixed feelings, and initially he only planned to use the Navy 6th Sentai attached to the Third Fleet to take out the fortress, and with the cover of naval artillery, the whole battle was expected to end after dark.

It is true that the battle was reversed after the arrival of the Notoro aircraft-carrying ship and the cruisers Hirado and Fushimi, and the fortress of Shina was almost unable to fight back, and even the fort had two eight-inch guns completely destroyed, but the problem appeared in the ensuing battle of Notoro, and he never dreamed that the naval 6th squadron of thousands of men would lose more than half of it after an hour of the 6th battle, and the battle was far more tragic than expected.

Nomura Kichizaburo suddenly woke up to the fact that he had to cooperate with the 6th Army no matter what, so he immediately telegraphed Lieutenant General Ueda Kenkichi, the commander of Songhu, to send reinforcements, and Ueda was not ambiguous, and immediately transferred the 24th Brigade to support by warship.

The summoning order was issued after the midnight raid, although Nomura was a navy, and the navy and the 6th Army were naturally opposed, but in front of Admiral Shirakawa, he had no aura at all, and he originally wanted to make a stand, so he completely raised the white flag and surrendered.

"Nomura-kun, give your troops two hours, and if they can't fight it, retreat immediately." Shirakawa Yoshinori raised his wrist to look at the time, and then continued: "At a quarter past three, the Nagato will shell the fortress of China. ”

"Hayi."

Nomura Kichizaburo's heart was shocked, the cannon of the Nagato is far from being comparable to the Izumo ship, it has four twin sixteen-inch naval guns, that is to say, it can shoot eight shells weighing nearly hundreds of kilograms in one salvo, such a terrifying firepower, even if the entire Wusong fortress is razed to the ground, it seems that the Wusong fort is just around the corner tonight, and the battle has nothing to do with his fleet, presumably before dawn The infantry of the 24th Brigade can assemble on the ruins of the fortress, and then go straight to the rear of Zhang Zhizhong's Fifth Army, and the 13th Division, which had just been replenished to the Shanghai battlefield, was flanked in front and rear.

The more Lieutenant General Nomura thought about it, the more excited he became, Shirakawa was worthy of being the general of the Imperial 6th Army, and he had just arrived at Wusongkou, and the situation in the entire Songhu battlefield was unexpectedly like seeing the sun.

However, General Shirakawa asked something that made him inexplicable.

"Nomura-kun, do you want to know what it is like for General Shina to be angry?"
