The 3rd Japanese Infantry Battalion is responsible for guarding the Bazi Bridge, North Railway Station and along the Shanghai-Hangzhou Railway.

Captain Shigeru Ito came out of the armored vehicle with a cold expression, raised his head and looked at the sky covered with smoke and silently. His orderly officer followed him out of the armored vehicle nervously, trying to persuade him to hide, but was slapped and slapped on the ground by Shigeru Ito.

Ito Shigeru also participated in the 128 Shanghai Battle five years ago, especially in Jiangwan. The two fierce battles in the temple tour left a deep impression on him. However, in his memory, the Chinese army had very poor weapons and equipment. Not to mention the air force, there were basically no heavy artillery. They could basically only fill in the battlefield with their lives.

But even such a backward Chinese army resisted the Imperial 100,000 troops for two months without any disadvantage, and caused more than 5,000 casualties to the Imperial Army. Five years have passed, Ito Shigeru still seems to be able to smell the thick stench of corpses floating on the battlefield of the temple.

Now, the weapons and equipment of the Chinese army have been greatly improved. It seems that there must be another fierce battle. Fortunately, the Chinese army is attacking this time, and the Japanese army is the defensive side, and they have natural advantages. However, facing the well-equipped national army, the Japanese army's defense strategy must also be adjusted accordingly.

"Noda-kun." Ito Shige waved his hand and called the communications soldier in front of him, and ordered, "Go and tell Inoue-kun that the first wave of the Chinese army must not be carried forward. Let him boldly give up the front, let the Chinese army enter the deep position, and then use the pre-built hidden side firepower to kill them in large quantities."

"Hayi!" Noda's communication soldier lowered his head and turned around.

Xinmin Road, 1st Battalion of the 524th Regiment.

Xu Shijiu looked cold, scar, single hand and one-eyed dragon were excited. They never expected that the artillery preparations of the national army were so powerful. The nearest Navy Command was also several miles away, but they could still feel the slight tremor under their feet. It can be imagined that the Navy Command had been bombed in an outrageous manner.

"Dead shovel, we ate enough Japanese shells five years ago." Scar spitted thick phlegm and cursed viciously, "There is a way of feng shui, and today I finally got bombed in the turn of Japanese."

One-eyed dragon also said: "Hehe, little Japanese is in trouble this time."

"You are too happy too early." Xu Shijiu shook his head and said coldly, "Although the shelling sound is not small, it can be heard that the 150mm caliber heavy howitzers will not exceed four at most, and the rest are 75mm caliber field guns or mortars. The artillery fire is insufficient and they need to be used dispersedly. What effect can they have?"

Scar said: "That's better than nothing, Japan was finally bombed."

While talking, the half-hour preparation for the artillery fire was over, and it was exactly 10 o'clock.

Han Chongwu, who was squatting behind the barricade, immediately stood up, first pressed the German steel helmet on his head, then took out a Browning pistol and shot the sky horn above his head, and finally shouted loudly: "Brothers, fight with me, and drive all the Japanese devils into the Huangpu River to feed the fish!" Before he finished speaking, he rushed forward.

"Kill, kill all the Japanese devils!"

"His grandma's Japanese devil, your grandpa Cao is here!"

"Little Japan, I fuck your 18 generations of ancestors, go to die!"

More than 600 officers and soldiers in the battalion jumped up, shouting, bent down with bayonets, and followed the battalion commander Han Chongwu toward the Japanese army at the intersection of Baoshan Road ahead.

Xu Shijiu led the 19th Brigade to rush forward.

Since the charge sequence of the 19th Brigade was at the last, when the forward of the 19th Brigade just rushed to the intersection of Shanxi Road that was recaptured from the Japanese army yesterday, the suicide squad led by Han Chongwu had actually broken through the Japanese blockade at the Baoshan Road intersection, like a tiger that had just rushed out of the cage, roaring and continuing to kill towards the Sichuan Road intersection ahead.

Seeing this, Xu Shijiu suddenly felt a stern. The situation was wrong, it was wrong!

The Japanese military's steel plate-welded machine gun nest has indeed been destroyed by war defense artillery, and the Type 92 heavy machine gun behind the barricade was also killed by mortars. But the question is, when did the Japanese army become so vulnerable? The Kuomintang broke through the Japanese defense line with just one decisive charge? How is this possible?!

"Stop, stop me!" Xu Shijiu suddenly opened his arms and blocked the officers and soldiers of the 19th Brigade who followed behind him. Scar couldn't hold back his feet and almost knocked Xu Shijiu to the ground.

"Captain, why don't you rush?" One-eyed dragon asked in surprise.

Xu Shijiu didn't care about answering at all, and quickly opened his throat and roared forward: "Captain Han, come back! Brothers of the 1st Battalion, there is a trap ahead, you can't rush forward, you can't..."

Unfortunately, Xu Shijiu's roar was completely covered by the roars of more than 600 soldiers of the 1st Battalion. No one heard it at all, and no one stopped. In just a moment, more than 600 soldiers of the 1st Battalion had already flowed through the intersection of Baoshan Road like a tide and rushed into the long, winding alley between Sichuan Road.

Scar used a box cannon to press the wide-brimmed hat on his head and shouted anxiously: "Captain, hurry up!"

"Running at your mother, everyone will die if you rush up!" Xu Shijiu looked tragic, and wailed like a wounded beast, "Thank you, you should bring two old oxen (Markin heavy machine gun) to seize the heights of Baoshan intersection; the madman collects grenades and throws them ten bundles on the street. Remember to pretend, hurry up, go!"

Scar, one-handed and one-eyed dragon looked at each other, but Xie Gouzi and Gao Crazy took the man to fly.

Xu Shijiu continued to order: "The third squadron seizes the houses on both sides. No one is allowed to fire without my order. The second squadron seizes the Japanese fortifications at the intersection of Baoshan Road in front. The first squadron is on standby. No one is allowed to show up without orders!" After that, Xu Shijiu led the box cannon in his hand forward and roared, "Excuse me, come with me!"

Almost as the suicide squad rushed out of the Baoshan intersection, dense gunshots and continuous explosions suddenly sounded in the long and winding alleyway ahead. A large number of Japanese soldiers suddenly appeared on the houses on both sides of the empty alleyway, shooting guns and throwing grenades wildly.

The entire lane was completely covered by thick smoke.

Before Xu Shijiu could come forward with the suicide squad, three armored vehicles suddenly rushed out of the horizontal Baochang Road. One of them used a machine gun to completely lock the retreat of Han Chong's Wu Camp, and the remaining two used machine gun fire to suppress the 19th brigade and prevented the 19th brigade from rushing up to meet Han Chong's Wu Camp.

Xu Shijiu hid in a concave wall, and saw that the cement floor at his feet and the wall in front of him were shot by the light and heavy machine guns of Japanese armored vehicles, and bricks were flying everywhere. Faced with such fierce machine gun fire, the suicide squad could not show up at all, let alone rushed to pick up Han Chongwu Camp, Xu Shijiu couldn't help but close his eyes in pain.

The gunshots in the alley ahead and the explosion continued for less than ten minutes and gradually became sparse.

Xu Shijiu knew that Han Chong's camp, which was lured into the alley by the Japanese army, had already finished. Next, the Japanese army would definitely take advantage of the situation to counterattack and immediately withdrew to the Baoshan intersection with the suicide squad.

As expected, not long after the suicide squad retreated to the Baoshan intersection, the armored vehicle that blocked the alley began to turn around. Then, three armored vehicles pressed towards the Baoshan intersection under the protection of a Japanese squad. Almost at the same time, a Japanese army appeared on the north and south ends of Baoshan Road, and rushed over with great momentum.

The barricade at the intersection of Baoshan Road instantly turned into an isolated island in a storm. The Japanese 92 infantry cannons, 75 mountain cannons, 150mm mortars and 50mm grenade launchers fell inside and outside the barricade like raindrops. In the continuous explosions, the sandbags temporarily raised were overturned, and even the hard cement road surface was blown out one after another.

After the violent shelling, the Japanese machine gun bullets were poured over.

In the thick smoke of gunpowder, dazzling streams of light were seen passing through the air. They hit the wall and the ground, which was a string of Mars. When they hit the sandbag, they would be a burst of smoke. If they penetrated into the human body, blood would immediately splash everywhere. The officers and soldiers of the 19th brigade were constantly shot, like wood sawed down by someone, falling straight backwards.

After less than ten minutes of persistence, the 2nd Squadron had suffered half of casualties!

"Retreat, retreat quickly!" Xu Shijiu's face was covered in smoke and roared to the sky, "Retreat to the intersection of Shanxi Road!"

The officers and soldiers of the 2nd Squadron, which had long been on the verge of collapse, turned around and ran away. In a panic, many new recruits forgot the admonition and ran back straight, but they were all beaten into blood sieve by the Japanese army.

After easily recapturing Baoshan intersection, the Japanese army did not give up. Instead, they continued to crush towards the Shanxi intersection with three armored cars. Before the infantry could even get on, various calibers and various types of artillery shells had already hit the ground. The 19th Brigade position at the intersection of Shanxi was blown into a bloody bathhouse again.

The 2nd Squadron soon suffered more than half of the casualties, and the Japanese army immediately launched a strong attack.

Amid the huge engine roar, three Vicks armored cars were in the shape of a font and rushed towards the Shanxi intersection under the protection of about two small teams of infantry.

In the house on the left side of the street, Xu Shijiu was squatting under the window with his gun against the wall.

Through the roar of the armored car engine, Xu Shijiu can roughly determine the distance. At one moment, Xu Shijiu suddenly stood up from the window ridge and pulled the plate machine to the cluster grenade disguised by the bricks and stones in front. The scorching bullet rotated out of the gun chamber at high speed, and instantly hit the bullet body of one of the grenades.

"Boom!" The cluster grenade exploded suddenly, and the fuel tank of the Vicks armored car in front was blown up. Gasoline splashed everywhere, and the entire armored car was completely swallowed by flames in an instant. At the opening of the car door, several Japanese rush out of the car screamed and turned into a burning flame man.

The next moment, more than 100 officers and soldiers of the 3rd Squadron emerged from the roofs of the houses on both sides, and the windows emerged. More than 100 Hanyang branches formed a dense cross-fire force, and grenades fell like raindrops. In the violent explosion, cluster grenades buried in the street were also detonated one after another. The remaining two armored vehicles lie down one after another, and the entire street became Shura Blood Prison.

When the Japanese commander saw that the situation was wrong, he quickly ordered a retreat. However, it was too late to retreat at this time. Almost as the Japanese army turned around and retreated, Xie Gouzi ambushed two old oxen on the commanding heights on both sides of the Baoshan intersection opened fire. The fierce heavy machine gun fired locked the Japanese army's retreat.

Xu Shijiu wiped the smoke and mud on his face and roared miserably: "1 Squadron, charge to the death!"
Chapter completed!
