Chapter 1188, Gunshots at Marco Polo Bridge(2/4)
The Japanese invaders haven't made any move yet.
They continue to lurk west of Marco Polo Bridge.
Zhang Yong yawned, raised his telescope, and looked at the bridgehead position.
According to his request, barbed wire fences and hidden heavy machine gun positions were added to the bridgehead position.
Behind the bridgehead position, three 60mm mortars were added.
The purpose was to defeat the provocation of the Japanese invaders and blow them up.
01:30…
The red dot starts to move.
They gradually dispersed and surrounded the Marco Polo Bridge.
good!
It's finally begun.
Zhang Yong looked unmoved.
Wait silently.
The Japanese invaders appeared in the naked eye.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
Warning shots were fired from the western bridgehead.
But it was useless. The Japanese invaders continued to attack the bridgehead position.
Through the telescope, we can clearly see that the Japanese invaders are moving very fast.
They are all veterans.
They are all elite.
The combat effectiveness of individual soldiers is very strong.
"Pah hook!"
"Pah hook!"
The Japanese invaders opened fire as they marched.
The bullets hit the sandbags at the bridgehead on the west side, and some also passed through the air.
"puff!"
"puff!"
A grenade fell.
This is a grenade launch by the Japanese invaders.
"boom!"
"boom!"
Another cannonball fell.
This is the Japanese 92 infantry artillery!
The shells landed on the bridgehead on the west, exploding into clouds of fire.
The defenders began to suffer casualties.
"Son of a bitch! They are serious!" Ji Xingwen was anxious and angry.
"Fight back!" Zhang Yong was very calm.
It seems that historical events are nothing special.
It was when the Japanese invaders started a real attack. It was no longer a drill.
From now on, the whole of China will enter a state of full-scale resistance until victory.
"yes!"
Ji Xingwen turned around and left.
Soon, the mortar positions began firing.
"boom!"
"boom!"
Artillery shells continued to explode among the Japanese invaders.
In the volleys of fire, Japanese invaders were blown away one after another. A sea of fire was directly exploded.
The Japanese invaders who launched the attack seemed a little confused.
They obviously did not expect to encounter such a fierce artillery counterattack.
The squadron that rushed at the front suffered dozens of casualties in an instant. The rest had to lie down on the ground. They no longer dared to bend their waists and rush upward.
"boom!"
"boom!"
The Japanese invaders' supporting artillery fire began to be fierce.
In addition to the 92nd Infantry Artillery, there were also 90mm mortars. The shells fell intensively on the bridgehead on the west.
The sandbag fortifications could not withstand the Japanese bombardment, and casualties increased.
"Ring ring ring..."
"Ring ring ring..."
Inside the headquarters, the phone suddenly rang.
Zhang Yong picked up the microphone casually.
"Hello……"
"I am Zhang Yong. Who are you?"
"I am Commissioner Tong Linge. Did the Japanese invaders launch an attack?"
"Yes. The artillery fire was very fierce. The bridgehead position west of Marco Polo Bridge may not be able to be defended."
"Son of a bitch! They are serious!"
"Report to Commander Song! I will also report to Jinling."
"good!"
Tong Linge hung up the phone.
Zhang Yong held the microphone and looked calm. He was neither happy nor sad.
This is just the beginning.
There will be another eight years of hard work ahead.
Now is not the darkest moment. The fall of Wuhan is.
Turn around.
Raise the telescope.
The bridgehead to the west cannot be defended.
There was no cover there. The Japanese artillery fire had completely covered it.
The two platoons of defenders will eventually suffer all their casualties.
The cannon fodder of the Japanese invaders also blocked the Marco Polo Bridge deck, making it impossible for effective reinforcements from the rear.
However, it is not that easy for the Japanese aggressors to hold the bridgehead. Our army's artillery fire will also cover it.
"Communications Officer!"
"arrive!"
"Send a report to the Military and Administrative Department and the Attendant's Office!"
"yes."
"Content: At one o'clock in the morning on the 8th, the Japanese invaders launched a fierce attack on Marco Polo Bridge. I am in Wanping. Zhang Yong."
"yes."
The communications staff quickly recorded it.
Soon, the telegram was drafted and sent to Zhang Yong for review.
