readx;? After Zhang Lingfu made a decision, the two artillery squads each carried an 82 recoilless gun and a heavy machine gun platoon of the second battalion with four heavy machine guns, and concealed the four Japanese gunboats approaching the river. Pen~Fun~Ge www.biquge.info By the time these fighters approached the four gunboats, the 10 82 mortars and five 75 infantry guns of the 547th Regiment had already begun to strike at the Japanese heavy machine gun positions and several rapid-fire guns.

Although the 547th Regiment was the latest in the new 90th Division, the backbone artillery of the regiment was all transferred from the heavy artillery regiment of the former Independent Brigade and strengthened to the 547th Regiment.

One of the three rapid fires of the 10 82 mortars had already covered the Japanese heavy machine gun position, and the 75 infantry guns also fired five shells per gun, and the whole process took less than three minutes, and the supporting firepower of the Japanese south of the bridge was wiped out. The defenders' sudden artillery bombardment took the Japanese by surprise, and Seishiro Itagaki hurriedly asked the artillery wing to locate the artillery positions of the Shina people and destroy them, but when the Japanese shells fell, the artillery of the 547th Regiment had already completed the transfer.

The sudden shelling of the 547th Regiment also attracted the attention of the Japanese troops on the four gunboats, and the Japanese soldiers who were startled saw that the shells were not flying towards themselves, so they breathed a sigh of relief and continued to fire at the defenders' positions on the north bank. At this time, two 82 recoilless guns and four heavy machine guns had already found their positions, and the muzzles and muzzles of the guns were aimed at the Japanese gunboats at the same time.

These four Japanese gunboats, each gunboat has an eight-centimeter single-mounted anti-aircraft gun in the front and back, and the power is still not small because of the fast rate of fire after being flattened, and there are also six 7.7 mm heavy machine guns on each gunboat, after seeing the firepower of the Japanese gunboats, the platoon commander of the heavy machine gun platoon is a little difficult, because it is necessary to block all the firepower on the four gunboats in the first time, otherwise once the Japanese gunboats counterattack, it is impossible to confront the gunboats with their own weapons.

After the platoon commander reported the situation to his superiors on a walkie-talkie, Zhang Lingfu knew that he had underestimated the Japanese gunboats and that the forces sent were too thin.

Shao Jincheng led these soldiers to approach the target in a roundabout way, and after joining up with the soldiers who had already arrived, he observed the four gunboats. After some observation, Shao Jincheng began to assign tasks. Two 82 recoilless guns simultaneously opened fire on the two anti-aircraft guns on the first gunboat, while one heavy machine gun and two light machine guns fired at the soldiers on the boat, so as to prevent the Japanese heavy machine guns from returning fire at the first time.

In addition, the three gunboats were to be used by 10 40 rocket launchers to deal with the anti-aircraft guns, and the rest of the light and heavy machine guns were used to deal with the Japanese troops on the boats, and the six 60 mortars were dispersed 500 meters back, and after firing three rapid fires, they had to be transferred to prevent the retaliation of the Japanese artillery. After all the targets were assigned, Shao Jincheng gave the order to open fire. The guns and cannons on the position were fired in unison, and all the bullets and shells flew towards the four Japanese gunboats at the same time.

The attention of the Japanese troops on the gunboat was on the position of the defenders north of the bridge, and they were very excited to see their weapons destroy one after another of the firing points of the Chinese army. Unexpectedly, countless guns and bullets flew from the high place on the shore next to them. The 82 recoilless gun and the 40 rocket launcher can easily destroy the tank with armor-piercing, not to mention these anti-aircraft guns with only thin guards.

The eight anti-aircraft guns on the four gunboats, together with the Japanese soldiers who used the anti-aircraft guns, were immediately destroyed by the blows of the 82 recoilless guns and the 40 rocket launchers. When the Japanese soldiers on the gunboats reacted and tried to turn the muzzles of the heavy machine guns, each gunboat was patronized by several light and heavy machine guns, and the fire network formed by the light and heavy machine guns completely blocked the several heavy machine guns facing the north shore.

Not only that, there were also mortar shells falling from the sky, and several heavy blows came at the same time, so that the Japanese troops on the four gunboats were both killed and wounded under the sudden blow, and many people did not survive. As if on the deck, there were Japanese soldiers who had been killed, and there were large and small craters. This blow came suddenly, and ended quickly, less than ten minutes before and after, Shao Jincheng saw that he had achieved his goal, so he ordered to stop shooting and all retreated.

As soon as all the soldiers withdrew from the position, the Japanese artillery fire covered this place, and the last few ammunition men were still wounded under the shrapnel, looking at the position covered by the Japanese artillery fire, Shao Jincheng was afraid that if the team withdrew a little later, the whole army might be wiped out on this position. Fortunately, after completing the errands, there were no big casualties, so it seems that I was still lucky.

Faced with the stubborn resistance of the defenders on the frontal battlefield, Seishiro Itagaki put his hope on Major General Noboru Kunisaki, who had already crossed the Huangpu River, and the wing he led. In Itagaki's view, although the resistance of the Chinese army was very tenacious and the firepower was also fierce, it was only because the terrain limited the play of his division, and if it was in the field, his fifth division would have eliminated this Chinese army long ago.

Now that General Kunisaki Noboru has led his troops to cross the Huangpu River, then in the field battle, General Kunisaki Noboru will quickly destroy the Chinese army that blocked him, and then attack the Chinese army on the north position of the bridge from the flank, so that under the front and rear attacks, it will not be long before these Chinese people will be wiped out by the warriors of the imperial army. Itagaki is still very confident in the combat effectiveness of the Fifth Division.

When Zhang Lingfu knew that the 546th Regiment had rushed to Mishidu to set up a position, he decided to hold on to the position north of the bridge for another three days, so that the 546th Regiment could have time to improve the defensive position of Mishidu. But to block the Japanese army for another three days, in addition to the frontal Japanese attack, the Japanese army on the flank cannot be ignored.

Zhang Lingfu immediately adjusted the arrangement, the first battalion withdrew from the flank position, and the second battalion went up after reinforcing ten eighty-two mortars. The three battalions on the front suffered heavy casualties in the two-day blockade, and they also withdrew, and the three battalions of the 546th Regiment were reinforced to the top, and the bodies of the seriously wounded soldiers and the sacrificed soldiers were transferred from the baggage troops to the county town of Songjiang.

No one has commented on Zhang Lingfu's arrangement. After a busy midnight, the various units were converted, and all preparations were made, waiting for the Japanese to attack again. On the morning of the 13th, the Japanese bombardment began again, but a new unit had been replaced on the defensive positions on the front line. The officers and men of the 3rd Battalion of the 546th Regiment of Wu Conglong were basically composed of the remnants of the original ** unit that had been withdrawn from the front-line battlefield shortly after the Battle of Songhu began.

These soldiers were able to survive the Japanese artillery fire and attack, they were all veterans with the way of self-preservation, and they were also accustomed to the Japanese army's wanton bombardment, so in the Japanese army's bombardment, all the officers and soldiers were very calm, calmly smoking cigarettes and talking in various bunker fortifications. As soon as the Japanese bombardment ended, these veterans methodically carried their weapons and entered the bombed and disproportionately position.

After these veterans joined the new 90th Division, they experienced a completely different style of work and living conditions. And when they first received the six pieces of silver from the quartermaster, they had already fully recognized the new 90th Division. After the sacrifice of some comrades-in-arms, the distribution of a pension of 100 yuan per person in the logistics department made these veterans fight with the new 90th Division with iron heart.

With the determination to die, the combat effectiveness of these veterans on the battlefield is very amazing, and the difference with the new recruits is that these veterans will use various ways to protect themselves while effectively killing and injuring the enemy, so when the three battalions of the 546th Regiment with these veterans face the attacking Japanese army, it is difficult for the Japanese army to cross the defensive line no matter how the Japanese army attacks.

And General Noboru Kunizaki, who had high hopes for Seishiro Itagaki and the soldiers of a wing led by him, also encountered stubborn resistance from the soldiers of the 2nd Battalion of the 547th Regiment in Uehama Village on the flank. In yesterday's battle, the artillery that Kunisaki Noboru had brought across the river was destroyed in an artillery battle with the 1st Battalion, and now the attack can only rely on heavy weapons with heavy machine guns and grenadiers as cover.

On the contrary, the newly recruited 2nd Battalion of the 547th Regiment had 10 82 mortars reinforced by Zhang Lingfu to the 2nd Battalion, and these 10 82 mortars became a big killer against the Japanese attack. Major General Kunizaki Noboru was furious after repeated unsuccessful attacks, and with the continuous casualties of the soldiers of a wing in his hand, the force that could be used to continue the attack became less and less, and Major General Kunizaki had no choice but to ask the commander of the Itagaki Division for help.

Itagaki Seishiro was also angry that Noboru Kunisaki had not been able to succeed for a long time, and now he received a telegram from Noboru Tunzaki asking for help, and he was even more angry and helpless, so he could only contact Commander Yanagawa Heisuke and ask for the navy's assistance again. On the morning of 15 July, two gunboats covered eight landing craft and entered the Huangpu River, and this time the commander of Itagaki Seishiro's division not only sent another wing to cross the river, but also transferred a brigade of 12 75 infantry guns from the division's field artillery wing to cross the river and handed them over to Major General Kunisaki Noboru under his command.

Major General Noboru Kunisaki received reinforcements and 12 75 infantry guns, and when he felt full of confidence, he also knew very well how much the division commander, Lieutenant General Seishiro Itagaki expected of him, so Major General Noboru Kunisaki did not care about letting the soldiers who had just arrived to rest, so he hurriedly scattered 12 infantry guns 2,000 kilometers away from Uehama Village, and organized the Japanese army to launch a new attack.
