On 19 February, although it was still in the period of the reply to the letter of Madun, the enemy's military activities did not cease. Enemy aircraft demonstrated and reconnoitred in the sky from morning to night. There were seven enemy ships at the mouth of the Huangpu River, and they also kept shelling our Wusong position. At the same time, enemy artillery near Zhang Huabang also bombarded the positions of the 3rd Battalion of the 4th Regiment of the 156th Brigade from time to time. Five of our officers and men were killed and wounded, and Gao Qiangbin, lieutenant colonel and deputy commander of the Fourth Regiment, was wounded by shrapnel from enemy artillery.

Jiang Commander-in-Chief Gu Nian Weng Zhaoyuan guarded Wusong hard, sent a staff officer to visit, and suggested that if Wusong could not hold on, it was better to withdraw to the area around Liu Hang and contact Zhabei. Weng Zhaoyuan said: "Wusong is the most headache for the enemy, and if we give up easily, it will be tantamount to relieving the enemy's pain." Second, if Wusong is evacuated, the international impact will be too great. In addition, Liu Xing and Wu Song were very close to each other, and the enemy artillery only needed to change the angle to shoot in the same way, and its air force was not a problem. The brigade has decided to defend to the death, please rest assured by the commander-in-chief! After the staff officer went back to report, Jiang said to his subordinates: "Brigade Commander Weng has this spirit, Wu Song is absolutely safe!" ”

"Baga Ya Road! This group of pigs who don't know what to do! Ueda Kenkichi scolded loudly at the army headquarters.

"Your Excellency Commander, it seems that the people of China will not accept our ultimatum, I wonder how Your Excellency the Commander intends to teach these ignorant China pigs a lesson?" Nomura Kichizaburo said in a weird way.

A sneer appeared at the corner of Ueda's mouth, and instead of answering immediately, he walked to the huge map hanging on the wall, and beckoned to Nomura Kichizaburo and the commander of the 24th Mixed Brigade Shimoto Kumanya, "Nomura-kun, Shimoto-kun." You see, the main force of the people of China is deployed along the first line of Wusong, Miaoxing, and Zhabei. I decided to adopt the tactics of breaking through in the center and attacking on both flanks. Xia Yuanjun, your 24th mixed brigade will launch a fierce attack on the defenders of China from the northern front, looking for an opportunity to annihilate the Weng brigade and break through the defense line of the people of China. ”

"Hayi!" Xia Yuan Xiong Mi bowed his head respectfully in response.

Ueda Kenkichi nodded with satisfaction and then turned to Nomura Kichizaburo and said, "Nomura-kun, your marines are responsible for attacking the defense line of the Zhabei China army, and looking for an opportunity to break through the defense line of the Zhabei people and capture Zhabei, please Nomura-kun!" ”

"Hayi!" Nomura replied respectfully.

Kenkichi Ueda continued, "I will lead the main force of the Ninth Division to attack the junction of Jiangwan and Miaohang with all my might, as long as I break through the positions of the Shina people. In this way, the north can be surrounded by the lower Yuan Jun to encircle Wusong, and the south can also be encircled with Nomura Jun to encircle the north of the Zha. At 7 o'clock in the morning, the whole army launched a general attack on the Chinese army, and I hope that all the monarchs will work together to open up and expand the territory of the empire. ”

"Hayi!" All the officers on the scene said in unison.

On the morning of 20 February, the Chinese army poured all its naval and air force forces into a general attack on the lines of Longhua, Zhabei, Jiangwan, Wusong, and Artillery. Our defenders resisted bravely, charged hand-to-hand combat, and the position was lost many times.

Jin Zhao looked at the huge map hanging on the wall in a daze, Jin Zhao was trying to recall, in his previous life, about the experience of the 128th Shanghai Anti-Japanese War, but some specific details really can't be remembered, he knew that he should have studied history in the first place, Jin Zhao couldn't help but secretly said in his heart.

"The gunfire has not stopped since the morning, and it seems that the little devil has launched a general attack on all fronts. But why doesn't the brigade let us go to the front line to kill devils, these idle words, Lao Tzu is about to have a problem. Brother, you can call the brigade again and ask for mercy. Li Long stood behind Jin Zhao and said pitifully. Although Jin Zhao's Reading Force Regiment was directly under the military headquarters, it was still under the command of Weng Zhaoyuan's brigade for the time being.

"Intercession? What kind of affection do you want? Look at the way you look now, as if your daughter-in-law has been abducted. Jin Zhao glanced at Li Long angrily and said, Jin Zhao's words immediately caused everyone to laugh.

Li Long smiled and said, "Brother, it's not that you don't know me, but now you're still a single person, a daughter-in-law from there." ”

"You kid is also a major battalion commander now, can you calm down when you encounter something!" Jin Zhao said with a hatred of iron, "As a commander, being calm and calm is a necessary military quality. ”

"Brother, I don't believe it, you're not in a hurry at all?" Li Long said stupidly.

"There's a fart in a hurry, the brigade seat said, our reading force regiment is the last reserve of the whole brigade, and it won't send us to the battlefield at a critical moment. Now I hope that the brigade will never let us go to battle, because once it is our turn, it means that my front-line troops are about to be overwhelmed. So now you should do what you should do, why don't you go! Don't wander around in front of my eyes and look upset. Jin Zhao said angrily. Originally, Jin Zhao was worried about the war on the front line, but now that these boys have come to beg him to ask the brigade seat for battle, Jin Zhao naturally won't give them a good look.

Seeing Jin Zhao's impatient farewell, Li Long, who was familiar with Jin Zhao, knew that this was a precursor to the anger of his own boss, Li Long, who had always been not afraid of heaven and earth, was most afraid of his own boss, so he dared to stay there longer, and said casually, "I'll go down and have a look." Then he turned around and left the regiment headquarters, and slipped away. Seeing this, several other battalion and company commanders also said hello to Jin Zhao and Xie Jinyuan and left.

Seeing that everyone was interested, Jin Zhao's face was slightly better, he walked to the table, picked up the teapot and took a sip of tea, "This time the little devil is not good!" ”

Xie Jinyuan, who was next to him, nodded and said, "Just listen to this cannon sound, the little devil is definitely going to launch a general attack on the whole front this time." The Ninth Division is the elite division of the Chinese army, which is relatively well-equipped and second only to the Second Division and the Sixth Division in combat effectiveness. In war, they often fight evil battles and tough battles. With the 18th Division, it was considered a double division within the army. Even if we can hold the line this time, I'm afraid the loss will not be small, this battle will be difficult to fight! ”

The Ninth Division of the Army, also known as the Kanazawa Division, was grouped in Kanazawa. It was a division of the old Imperial Army, and one of the six new divisions added in 1898 after the Sino-Japanese War. Since the establishment of the unit, from the beginning of the Russo-Japanese War to World War II, this unit has been fighting on the front line. It was one of the 17 standing divisions of the army before the outbreak of World War II, which was well-equipped and quite strong in combat, and the ninth division was also one of the culprits of the Nanjing Massacre in later generations.

"This battle is directly related to the survival of my Huaxia, even if it is difficult to fight, it must be fought!" Jin Zhao said firmly.

"What Brother Meng Bo said is very true, we have the responsibility to defend the land as soldiers, and it is our greatest honor to be able to die fighting for the country and the horse leather shroud!" Xie Jinyuan said with a serious face.

Jin Zhao couldn't help but slander for a while, buddy, can you not say that it is so tragic or not, fighting for the country, it is naturally unavoidable, but Lao Tzu has not lived enough! Besides, if Lao Tzu dies in the hands of the little devil, won't he lose all the face of the crossing clan, then how will Lao Tzu mix it up in the future! Now that I have crossed over, I have great ambitions and wake up to the power of the world, and I don't dare to think about it now, but drunk and lying on the knees of beauties, but Lao Tzu's greatest pursuit in this life! So Lao Tzu doesn't want to die now, and if he wants to die, he has to wait until he kills all the little devils.
