Chapter 12: The 128 Incident

Collect! Ask for recommendations! All for support!

After leaving the brigade headquarters, Jin Zhao returned to the barracks. The entire barracks were quiet, and there was not a single figure in the noisy field. Because Jin Zhao had already ordered the soldiers to rest in advance, recuperate and prepare for the night battle, of course, the necessary sentry, Jin Zhao still arranged it in case of accidents.

At 11:05 p.m. on the night of 28 January, the Shanghai Municipal Public Security Bureau received a reply from Yue Fang Murajing to Wu Tiecheng and the Shanghai Municipal Public Security Bureau, expressing "satisfaction" with the Shanghai side's acceptance of the four demands, but demanding that the Chinese troops must withdraw from Zhabei on the grounds of protecting overseas Chinese. It was already 11:25 a.m. for Wu Tiecheng to receive the reply. After receiving the reply from the other party, Wu Tiecheng scolded the little devil for being shameless and gaining an inch, but for such a big matter, Wu Tiecheng naturally did not dare to be good at it, and he had no right to decide whether the army would stay or not. Wu Tiecheng immediately sent a telegram to Nanjing, elaborating on the demands put forward by the Chinese side, but before Wu Tiecheng's telegram could be sent, dense gunfire rang out in downtown Shanghai.

At 11:30 p.m. on January 28, the Japanese side did not wait for our reply. The Marine Corps of the Japanese Army sent more than 20 armored vehicles as the lead, divided their troops into several routes, and launched a fierce attack on our army's garrisons on Qiujiang Road, Guangdong Road, Baoshan Road, Hengbang Road, Tiantongan Road, Qingyun Road, and other places.

Weng Zhaoyuan stayed in the brigade headquarters, and suddenly heard the gunshots outside, and his face couldn't help but change greatly. Then he remembered what Jin Zhao said to him this afternoon, and immediately ordered loudly, "Send someone to check on what happened immediately." ”

At this moment, the phone on the table rang, Weng Zhaoyuan grabbed the microphone, and only heard Zhang Junsong, the commander of the sixth regiment, say: "Report to the brigade, the little devils have begun to attack us!" The army sent ironclad vehicles as the lead, and divided its troops into several routes to attack our army's garrison from the intersections of Zhabei. What are we going to do? Please give us instructions. ”

Weng Zhaoyuan gritted his teeth and said, "Fight! Hold your ground and don't be afraid! Give Lao Tzu a hard lesson to these bitches! I'll send troops to your aid at once! Weng Zhaoyuan, who has always been elegant, couldn't help but scold at this time, the little devil is really too deceitful.

Weng Zhaoyuan put down the phone with a snap, and then dialed the phone of Ding Rongguang, the commander of the Fifth Regiment, and ordered the Fifth Regiment to immediately prepare for the reinforcement of the Sixth Regiment. After Ding Rongguang received the order, he did not dare to slack off and immediately sent messengers to send the order to all battalions.

When the heralds of the 5th Regiment arrived at the station of the 1st Battalion, Jin Zhao had already led more than 400 soldiers of the 1st Battalion to assemble, and when he saw the heralds, Jin Zhao immediately said, "Please tell the regiment commander that my 1st Battalion is ready for battle and can support the front line at any time." ”

The 6th Regiment of the Military Police who came to take over the defense first arrived at a battalion, and when they saw the attack of the Japanese army, they consciously participated in the battle under the command of Weng Zhaoyuan. Seeing these majestic and well-equipped enemies, the eyes of our soldiers shot angry flames, and the time had come for the Ninth Hatred to be revealed. After half an hour of fierce fighting, our army successfully repelled the first round of the attack of the Japanese army. As a result, the army that tried to occupy Shanghai within four hours hit a big nail at the beginning. Weng Zhaoyuan thought at this time that after a defeat, he would definitely launch a second attack with greater strength and ferocity. So he hurriedly sent the 5th Regiment to support, and after receiving the order, Jin Zhao immediately led the 1st Battalion to the front.

"Baga Ya Road!" After receiving the news of the failure of the offensive, Major General Koichi Shiozawa, the commander of the army, angrily scolded, "With only 20,000 troops, that group of wastes in the army can defeat hundreds of thousands of troops and occupy the three eastern provinces. Can't the thousands of warriors of our Marine Corps still occupy a small Shanghai? Immediately organize a new offensive and drive the Chinese army out of Shanghai at all costs! ”

"Hayi!" A group of officers around Shiozawa Koichi led the order in unison.

At 1:40 in the evening, about 1,500 troops, under the cover of ironclad vehicles, charged at the positions of the first battalion of the sixth regiment of our army from the junction of Qiujiang Road, Guangdong Road, and Baoxing Road. This time, the army occupied a nearby bungalow, set up machine guns, fired at our positions, and threw grenades. Our fortifications were blown up in many places. The enemy's ironclad carts were like moving turrets, pressing down on our position.

Jin Zhao was ordered to lead the 1st Battalion of the 5th Regiment to support the position of the 1st Battalion of the 6th Regiment. In the face of the superior firepower of the little devils, our soldiers were pressed on the position and could not raise their heads at all, while on the other hand, the armored vehicles of the army were getting closer and closer. Braving the rain of bullets, our soldiers approached the enemy car and used grenades in an attempt to blow up the enemy's armored vehicle, sacrificing more than a dozen brave soldiers in one company and blowing up only one armored vehicle.

Jin Zhao immediately found the commander of the first battalion of the Sixth Regiment and said, "Old Pan! It's not a way to fight like this! The little devil's Iron King Eight is really too powerful, our losses are too great, we have to find a way! ”

At this time, Battalion Commander Pan had already turned red, and after hearing Jin Zhao's words, he immediately shouted loudly, "What can I do? It's time to fight with the little devils! ”

Jin Zhao leaned into Camp Commander Pan's ear and whispered a few words, Camp Commander Pan frowned and asked, "Old Jin! Will this work? ”

Jin Zhao sighed helplessly and said, "If it doesn't work, you have to try it to find out." If the fight continues like this, the brothers will be exhausted, and they may not be able to repel the attack of the little devils, and the real war is still to come? If we run out at this time, we'll have a fart in the future! "Battalion Commander Pan's name is Pan Xing, and he and Jin Zhao are old comrades-in-arms, so the two of them are not polite when they speak.

Pershing thought about it and nodded helplessly, gritted his teeth and said, "Then try it!" If not! I can only fight with the little devils! ”

Jin Zhao took a look and found that the six armored vehicles dispatched by the Yue Army this time turned out to be Vickers armored cars, which were made in the United Kingdom. The weight is 7.5 tons, and the armor is only six millimeters. Although the armor was very thin, for the Chinese army, which lacked anti-tank weapons, the six-millimeter armor was like an impregnable wall. The two 7.7mm heavy machine guns equipped with the Vickers armored car scattered two bullets rained down like two death whips that continued to harvest the lives of Chinese soldiers. In his previous life, Jin Zhao had seen the information of this armored car on the website, it is said that the army was only equipped with twelve vehicles at that time, and it was put into the battlefield at the time of the 128 incident, but he didn't expect Jin Zhao to dare to rush to the front line and saw six, but one of them has been blown up by the death squad. Since Jin Zhao knew about this armored car, he naturally knew that with the current equipment of the Huaxia army, the best way to destroy it was to use cluster grenades to blow up its chassis, but the firepower of the army was very fierce, and there was infantry cover behind the armored car, so it took more than a dozen daredevils to blow up one.
