readx;? Just as Wei Erxi and Du Haifeng were constantly advancing forward, Yang Wenjin, the deputy commander of the supplementary brigade, found Wei Erxi.

In this way, a regiment of the supplementary brigade was blocked by the Japanese army on the road of 1.4 kilometers from the Bazi Bridge to the Japanese headquarters, and Yang Wenjing had no choice but to ask Wei Erxi for help. Wei Erxi saw that they were all Chinese soldiers and were all fighting the Japanese devils, so he ordered the fifth company as a reserve, a truck carrying Gao Ping's second machine gun, and two recoilless guns, and an artillery platoon of the artillery company to carry ten mortars to support.

Yang Wenjin hurriedly said words of gratitude. Wei Erxi interrupted Yang Wenjin's words, told Yang Zhijin some common sense about the cooperation between chariots and infantry, and asked Yang Wenjin to see how his troops attacked in street battles. Yang Wenjing didn't mind Wei Erxi's rudeness to Zisi, but patiently listened to Wei Erxi's explanation, and after observing the fighting methods of the independent battalion on the spot, his eyes couldn't help but light up.

After Yang Wenjing returned to the unit with reinforcements, he immediately changed his tactics and began to arrange the offensive according to the attack mode of the independent battalion. First, concentrate artillery fire and carry out a covering bombardment of the enemy at the street entrance, and then let the chariot assault, the soldiers of the 5th company of the independent battalion cooperate to protect it, and their own fighters capture the buildings on both sides of the street with the assistance of Gao Ping's 2nd machine gun.

As soon as the tactics are changed, the effect received is immediate. The fort in the middle of the street was covered by chariot guns and 82 recoilless guns carried by the 5th Company, and the buildings on both sides were occupied by their own fighters, and in the event of Japanese resistance, mortars and Gao Pinger used twin heavy machine guns to deal with it. In this way, not only were the casualties of the fighters minimized, but the troops also moved forward quickly.

At one o'clock in the afternoon, the second regiment of the supplementary brigade where the independent battalion was located first attacked the street where the Japanese headquarters was located, which was only 300 meters away from the Japanese headquarters.

Yang Wenjin summoned all the officers above the company level to the headquarters and announced that an hour later, that is, at 3 p.m., a general attack on the Japanese headquarters would be launched. The commander-in-chief is himself, and Wei Erxi is the deputy commander-in-chief, specifically responsible for the attack on the enemy. It is a bit inappropriate to say that Wei Erxi, the small battalion commander, is the deputy commander-in-chief, but Wei Erxi's military exploits are really there. And the attack power of the independent battalion is also obvious to all, so there is no objection to Yang Wenjin's decision.

Wei Erxi took into account the particularity of the independent battalion, so he should not give in. After Yang Wenjing encouraged everyone a few more words, he asked these officers to go back to the army to prepare. Wei Erxi took Xiao Yuanxin, the commander of the first company, to the roof of a three-story building opposite the Japanese headquarters that had not collapsed. Use a telescope to observe the Japanese headquarters covertly. And let Xiao Yuanxin draw a sketch of the Japanese headquarters, and then mark the firing points of the Japanese headquarters on the sketch one by one.

At 2:50, Wei Erxi and Xiao Yuanxin returned to the front of the troops and began to arrange artillery strikes against the firing points of the Japanese headquarters. At this time, the Japanese headquarters gathered the supreme commander General Shirakawa Yoshimi and the remaining nearly 2,000 Japanese soldiers of the Marine Corps under his command. These soldiers built the entire Japanese headquarters into a solid monolithic fortification.

In addition to this, Admiral Shirakawa Yoshimi was extremely annoyed by the bombing and sinking of the gunboat on the night of the 15th, and in a telegram he sent Vice Admiral Hasegawa Kiyoshi to the commander of the Third Fleet, and ordered Hasegawa Kiyoshi to send ships into the Huangpu River again to help the soldiers of the Marine Corps resist the Chinese army's advance into Han with naval guns, and sent a telegram to the base camp requesting that additional planes be sent to bomb the Chinese army.

Hasegawa Kiyoshi was scolded by Shirakawa Yoshimi, and reluctantly ordered his destroyers Mutsuki and Ruzuki to enter the Huangpu River and use their 120-mm guns to support the Japanese troops defending the Japanese headquarters. After receiving a telegram from Senior General Shirakawa Yoshimi, the Japanese base camp also telegraphed Taiwan's Kaoya Fighter Wing to join forces with the Wood Geng Jue Fighter Wing that had already arrived in Shanghai to jointly deal with the Chinese troops.

Wei Erxi didn't know these things, and he was thinking about how to destroy the firepower points of the Japanese headquarters as soon as possible. After arranging the task of attacking the Japanese firepower points with heavy weapons, Wei Erxi gathered all the snipers and sharpshooters of the independent battalion and ordered them to freely choose the type of ground and target outside the Japanese headquarters.

There are sixteen snipers in the original guard company in the independent battalion, these people have passed through Wang Haitao himself**, and are equipped with Mauser sniper rifles with Zeiss scopes, which can accurately kill targets 800 meters away, and the rest of the sharpshooters are also from these people**, although there is no special sniper rifle, but it is enough to use the semi-automatic rifle in hand within four to five hundred meters or where to shoot.

After receiving Wei Erxi's order, these dozens of snipers and sharpshooters immediately worked in pairs and disappeared into the buildings outside the Japanese headquarters. At three o'clock in the afternoon, Wei Erxi shouted: "Start!" The order made the fifty mortars of the independent battalion artillery company roar at the same time. Because the firing elements were marked in advance, the mortar shells accurately hit the open fortifications on the outskirts of the Japanese headquarters.

For a time, the fortification group on the periphery of the Japanese headquarters was full of gunsmoke and shrapnel. The fortifications, sandbag fortifications, and machine-gun fire in the trenches were torn apart by the shelling. Only the bunker fortifications, with their sturdy reinforced concrete shells, defy the threat of mortar shells. After the mortar fire of the artillery battery of the separate battalion, the artillery positions inside the Japanese headquarters also began to return fire, and eight 70-mm infantry guns and more than two dozen heavy mortars launched a counterattack against the Chinese army at the same time.

Heavy machine guns in the various bunker fortifications also began to spit out tongues of fire. The offensive and defensive battles between the two sides began to heat up from the beginning of mutual artillery battles. The perimeter fortifications of the Japanese headquarters were destroyed in a hurry, and the Japanese artillery counterattack also cost the Chinese army dozens of lives. Among them, I have to say that those snipers, their sniping of Japanese artillery and commanders directly affected the firing speed of Japanese artillery, and also made the soldiers of the national army suffer a lot of losses.
