The 3rd Infantry Brigade of the Japanese Army was responsible for the guards along the Bazi Bridge, the North Railway Station and the Shanghai-Hangzhou Railway.

Captain Shigeru Ito got out of the armored car with a cold expression, looked up at the smoke-shrouded sky and was silent, his orderly nervously followed out of the armored car, trying to persuade him to hide, but was slapped to the ground by Ito Shigeru.

Shigeru Ito also participated in the Battle of Shanghai in 128 five years ago, especially the two vicious battles of Jiangwan and Miaohang left a deep impression on him, but in his memory, the weapons and equipment of the Chinese army were very poor, not to mention the air force, even heavy artillery was basically absent, and they could basically only fill the battlefield with human lives.

But such a backward Chinese army with less than 50,000 men resisted the Imperial Army's 100,000 troops for two whole months without falling behind, and caused more than 5,000 casualties to the Imperial Army.

Now, the weapons and equipment of the Chinese army have been greatly improved, and it seems that there will be another fierce battle, but fortunately, this time the Chinese army is attacking, and the Japanese army is the defender, which has a natural advantage, but in the face of the well-equipped national army, the Japanese army's defensive strategy must also be adjusted accordingly.

"Noda-kun." Shigeru Ito beckoned the signal soldier to him and ordered, "You go and tell Inoue Jun that the first wave of the Shina army's attack must not be carried hard, let him boldly cede the front, let the Shina army enter the deep position, and wait for the Shina army to penetrate deep and then use the pre-constructed concealed flank fire to kill and injure them in large numbers." ”

"Hello!" Noda bowed his head and turned to go.

Xinmin Road, 524 Battalion of the 1st Regiment attacked the position.

Xu Shijiu's expression was cold, but Scar, One-Hand and One-Eyed Dragon were excited, they never expected that the artillery preparation of the national army would be so powerful, and the nearest naval headquarters was also a few miles away, but they could still feel the slight tremor of the ground under their feet, it was conceivable that the naval headquarters had been blown up.

"Dead shovel, five years ago we had enough of the shells of Little Japan." Scar spat out thick phlegm and scolded viciously, "There is a way that feng shui takes turns, and today it is finally the turn of Little Japan to be bombed." ”

The one-eyed dragon also said: "Hehe, little Japan is miserable this time." ”

"You're rejoicing too soon." Xu Shijiu shook his head and said coldly, "Although the shelling momentum is not small, it can be heard that there will be no more than four heavy howitzers of 150mm caliber at most, and the rest are all 75mm caliber field artillery or mortars. ”

Scar said: "That's better than nothing, little Japan will be bombed after all." ”

As he spoke, the half-hour artillery preparation had ended, exactly 10 o'clock.

Han Chongwu, who was squatting behind the barricade, immediately stood up, first buckled the German-style steel helmet heavily on his head, and then took out a Browning pistol and shot it at the sky horn above his head, Zuihou roared angrily: "Brothers, rush with Lao Tzu and drive all the little devils of the dog day into the Huangpu River to feed the fish!" Before the words fell, he rushed forward.

"Kill, kill the little devil of the dog day!"

"His grandmother's little devil, your Grandpa Cao is here!"

"Little Japan, I'll fuck your eighteenth ancestor, go die!"

More than 600 officers and men of the battalion jumped up one after another, shouting and shouting, while holding bayonets and bending down, following the battalion commander Han Chongwu towards the Japanese army at the Baoshan intersection in front of them.

Xu 19 and the 19th Brigade also rushed forward.

Because the charging sequence of the 19th Brigade was lined up in Zuihou, when the forward of the 19th Brigade had just rushed to the Shanxi intersection that was recaptured from the Japanese army yesterday, the death squad led by Han Chongwu had actually broken through the Japanese blockade at the Baoshan Road intersection, like a tiger that had just broken out of the cage, roaring and continuing to kill the Sichuan intersection in front.

Seeing this, Xu Shijiu's heart suddenly sank, the situation is not right, it is not right!

The Japanese army's steel plate welded machine gun nest has indeed been destroyed by the battle defense artillery, and the Type 92 heavy machine gun behind the barricade has also been killed by the mortar, but the question is, when did the Japanese army become so vulnerable? The Nationalist army broke through the Japanese defense line with only one decisive charge? How is it possible, how is this possible?!

"zhanzhu, all to Lao Tzu zhanzhu!" Xu 19 suddenly opened his arms and blocked the officers and soldiers of the 19th Brigade who followed behind him, and the scar couldn't hold his feet, almost knocking Xu 19 to the ground.

"Captain, why don't you rush?" The one-eyed dragon asked, stunned.

Xu Shijiu didn't care about answering at all, and quickly opened his throat and roared forward: "Camp Commander Han, come back!" Brothers of the 1st battalion, there is a trap ahead, you can't rush forward, you can't ......"

However, unfortunately, Xu Shijiu's roar was completely covered by the roar of more than 600 officers and soldiers of the 1st Battalion, no one heard it at all, and no one stopped.

Scar put the box cannon on his head and the wide-brimmed hat on his head, and shouted anxiously, "Captain, hurry up!" ”

"Rush at your mother, rush up and die!" Xu Jiu's expression was miserable, and he wailed like a wounded beast, "Xie Gouzi, you immediately take two old scalpers (Makqin heavy machine guns) to seize the high point of the Baoshan intersection; The high madman collects grenades, throws them on the street in bundles of ten, remember to disguise yourself, hurry, go quickly! ”

Scar, One-Handed, and One-Eyed Dragon looked at each other, but Xie Gouzi and Gao Madman went with people.

Xu 19 continued to order: "The 3rd Squadron seized the houses on both sides, no one was allowed to shoot without Lao Tzu's order, the 2nd Squadron seized the Japanese fortifications at the Baoshan intersection in front, and the 1st Squadron was concealed and on standby, and no one was allowed to show their heads without an order!" After that, Xu Shijiu led the box cannon in his hand forward and roared angrily, "Death squad, follow Lao Tzu!" ”

Almost at the same time as the death squad rushed out of the Baoshan intersection, the long, winding alley in front of them suddenly sounded dense gunfire and continuous explosions, and on the houses on both sides of the alley, which was still empty, a large number of devil soldiers suddenly appeared, firing salvos of guns and grenades below.

The entire roadway was completely enveloped in thick gunsmoke in an instant.

Without waiting for Xu 19 to lead the death squad to come forward to respond, three armored vehicles suddenly rushed out of the horizontal Baochang Road, one of which completely locked the retreat of Han Chongwu's camp with machine guns, and the remaining two used machine gun fire to suppress the 19th Brigade to prevent the 19th Brigade from rushing up to meet Han Chongwu's battalion.

Xu 19 hid in a wall recess, only to see that the cement floor at his feet and the wall in front of him were hit by the light and heavy machine guns of the Japanese armored vehicles, and the broken bricks were flying sideways, in the face of such fierce machine gun fire, the death squad could not show their heads at all, let alone rush up to meet Han Chongwu's camp, Xu 19 couldn't help but close his eyes in pain.

The sound of gunfire and explosions in the alleyway ahead lasted less than ten minutes before gradually thinning out.

Xu Shijiu knew that Han Chongwu's camp, which was lured into the alley by the Japanese army, was over, and the Japanese army would definitely take advantage of the situation to counterattack next, and immediately withdrew to the Baoshan intersection with the death squad.

Sure enough, not long after the death squad withdrew to the Baoshan intersection, the armored car blocking the roadway began to turn around, and then three armored vehicles pressed towards the Baoshan intersection under the protection of a Japanese squad.

The barricades at the intersection of Baoshan Road suddenly became an isolated island in the stormy waves, and the Japanese 92 infantry guns, 75 mountain guns, 150mm mortars and 50mm grenadier grenades rained down inside and outside the barricades.

After the heavy shelling, Japanese machine-gun bullets were poured down immediately.

In the thick smoke of gunpowder, I saw dazzling streamers shuttling and staggering in the air, they hit the wall and the ground is a string of sparks, and when they hit the sandbag, it is a puff of smoke and dust, if they penetrate the human body, they will immediately be splashed with blood, and the officers and soldiers of the 19th Brigade will continue to be shot, like wood that has been sawn down, and they will fall straight back.

After holding out for less than ten minutes, the 2nd squadron had already suffered half of the casualties!

"Withdraw, withdraw!" Xu Shijiu's face was full of gunsmoke, and he looked up to the sky and roared, "Withdraw to the Shanxi intersection!" ”

The officers and men of the 2nd Squadron, who were already on the verge of collapse, turned around and ran, and in the panic, many recruits forgot the admonition and ran back with their waists straight, but they were all beaten into a bloody sieve by the Japanese army.

After the Japanese army easily recaptured the Baoshan intersection, it did not stop there, but continued to run over towards the Shanxi intersection with three armored vehicles as the lead, and before the infantry could get on, various calibers and various types of artillery shells had already been smashed over, and the position of the 19th Brigade at the Shanxi intersection was suddenly bombed into a bloody fire bath.

The 2nd Squadron soon suffered more than half of the casualties, and the Japanese launched a strong attack.

With the roar of the engines, three Vickers armored cars swooped down in a zigzag shape towards the Shanxi junction under the protection of about two squads of infantry.

In the house on the left side of the street, Xu Shijiu was squatting under the window with his gun against the wall.

Through the roar of the armored car engine, Xu 19 could roughly judge the distance, and at a certain moment, Xu 19 suddenly straightened up from behind the window, and detained the plate machine against the cluster grenade camouflaged by the masonry fragments in front of him, and the hot bullet spun at high speed and rushed out of the chamber, instantly hitting the body of one of the grenades.

"Boom!" The cluster grenade exploded suddenly, the fuel tank of the Vickers armored car in front was blown up, gasoline splashed everywhere, and the entire armored car was completely engulfed by flames in an instant.

In the next moment, more than 100 officers and men of the 3rd Squadron emerged from the roofs of houses on both sides and behind the windows, and more than 100 Hanyang Formations formed a dense crossfire, and grenades rained down, and in the violent explosion, the cluster grenades planted in the street in advance were also detonated, and the remaining two armored vehicles lay down one after another, and the entire street became a bloody prison in Shura.

The Japanese commander saw that the situation was not right, and quickly ordered a retreat, but at this time it was too late to retreat, almost at the same time as the Japanese turned and retreated, Xie Gouzi ambushed the two old cattle on the commanding heights on both sides of the Baoshan intersection and opened fire, and the fierce heavy machine gun fire locked the retreat of the Japanese army.

Xu Shijiu wiped the gunpowder and mud on his face, and roared miserably: "1 squadron, charge to the death!" ”

Scar pulled out a large knife from behind his back, and roared angrily: "The rabbit cubs of the 1st squadron, with Lao Tzu, whether they are dead or alive, surrendered or not, kill them all, kill them all, kill them all......"
