Chapter 432 "8.13" of Wu Songkou

Through the smoke of gunpowder, five Japanese tanks roared up, the turret turned, from time to time shè shells, the machine guns on the tanks, also roared wildly, the Japanese marines who followed behind, while shouting feverishly, while frantically shè blowing, the blood of their companions, stabbed the beast in their hearts, for a while, the tanks rumbled, the guns rang out, the Japanese army's violent flames, like a tangible wall, pressed straight over, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

The commander of the Japanese Marine Corps' front line on the Baoshan Road, Masao Sasaki, was stabbed by the defeat just now, and was determined to devote all his strength to kill the Chinese defenders on the opposite side and avenge the broken soldiers, he leaned out half of his body from the headquarters on the fourth floor and observed the situation of the Chinese defenders' positions with a telescope.

First, I wanted to observe the effect of the shelling just now, and second, I wanted to see the progress of the attacking troops, and the lens of the telescope flashed, and it was keenly captured by the snipers of the third battalion on the third floor opposite.

This sniper's name is Fan Tiezhu, he joined the army during the first Jinzhou Campaign, he is just 19 years old this year, because he has the potential of a sharpshooter, he was sent by the brigade to the sniper brigade of the special operations detachment to study, and once worshipped Fu Qiang, the deputy captain of the sniper brigade, as a teacher, and learned a good skill, and was the captain of the sniper team xiǎo of their company.

From the smoke of gunpowder, he keenly caught a flash of light, and immediately aimed the muzzle of the gun, in the haze, it seemed that the telescope was observing something, it must be the devil's big official, Tie Zhu secretly thought, he held his breath, tapped the trigger, the special sniper bullet, roared away from the chamber, through the gunsmoke, and went straight to the target.

Masao Sasaki's body stiffened suddenly, the broken lenses closed the blood on his face, a bloody hole appeared in his left eye, the bullet pierced out of the back of his head, and a piece of skull flew away, and the snow-white brain pulp flowed out of the hole the size of a fist, and his body leaned forward and broke off from the fourth floor.

According to the later recollections of the Japanese naval officers who were present, they did not hear the gunshots at all, and His Excellency Osa was planted downstairs, and we thought that His Excellency Osa had high blood pressure, dizziness and stumbling, and accidentally fell downstairs.

It is said that Sasaki Masao Navy Osa, is the first senior Japanese Navy officer killed by the squadron since the Shanghai Incident began, this matter was regarded as a top secret by the Japanese Navy, as a deep secret, witnesses were sternly warned not to talk about and spread the matter, violators were severely punished, but unfortunately, Fan Tiezhu missed a chance to make meritorious contributions.

In the face of the Japanese tanks, the police panicked, this invulnerable iron guy, how to deal with it, at this moment, several soldiers set up four strange-looking guns, two people were busy with a gun, the bullet was scary enough, enough to be the thickness of a xiǎobāng mallet, naïve and naïve, looking at it.

The Japanese tank that was on a rampage, suddenly, thick black smoke came out of the cabin, and a faint flame could be seen in the eyes, and the remaining tank was more lucky, and was taken care of by four bullets at the same time, and it exploded and caught fire at that time, and then, the smoking Japanese tank hatch opened, and several Japanese pilots jumped out with fire all over, and a burst of submachine gun bullets flew over, and they became burning human candles.

Subsequently, the roar of light and heavy machine guns suddenly sounded, head-on to the thousands of Japanese troops behind, fierce firepower, the Japanese troops on the unobstructed road, like cutting wheat, were knocked down in pieces, eight mortars, also according to the direction of the Japanese artillery position just observed, the first round of eight rapid shè attacks, the Japanese artillery position, immediately gun smoke billowing out, shrapnel flying horizontally, this is the high-explosive mortar shells produced by the Huangya Dòng Arsenal, the power is more than the Japanese army's Type 92 infantry guns.

The soldiers of the third battalion rushed out of the position and started a counter-charge, relying on the still smoking tanks, the Suomi submachine gun roared happily, wantonly harvesting the lives of the Japanese army, in the urban warfare, especially in the street fighting, this kind of automatic weapon with high xìng energy undoubtedly had the absolute upper hand, eighty people, and even played the momentum of eight hundred people.

The Japanese army was not to be outdone, relying on the corpses of their companions, fighting back, from time to time there were soldiers who were hit and fell, when they fell, they were still in the direction of the charge, behind, the troops of the second brigade, cháo rushed over, the Japanese marines could no longer support it, and retreated in a panic, and the second brigade followed closely behind, and compressed the Japanese army to the starting point of their attack, the Hongkou area of Shanghai, where there were strong fortifications built by the Japanese army, and the second brigade then adopted the method of encirclement, and the attack was temporarily stopped.

Zhao Zitong did not have the joy after the victory, the reinforced platoon of the reinforcement police force, eighty-one people, only thirty-eight survived, and the rest of the people were all sleeping on the wide road of Shanghai, which was the backbone of the third battalion, his heart, torn like a severe pain, and the counter-charge they launched cleared the obstacles for the follow-up troops of the Second Brigade, and the eternal existence of the dead soldiers also inspired all the soldiers of the Second Brigade.

The battle in the Shanghai city ended with the Japanese marines losing more than 18,000 men and the remaining 30,000 men being compressed in the Hongkou and Yangshupu areas.

The war in the urban area has temporarily ceased to exist, located in the north of Shanghai, at the confluence of the Huangpu River and the Yangtze River, Wusongkou, where the war is in full swing, and the Japanese naval fleet has a thorn in the eye that must be removed from the Wusongkou fort as a thorn in the throat.

Wusongkou, more than 30 kilometers away from the mouth of the Yangtze River in the east, confronts Chongming Island in the north and Changxing Island in the east, and chokes the flank of the main channel of the Yangtze River

At the same time that the Japanese marines launched an attack in the city, the Japanese fleet, which had been swimming outside Wusongkou, formed an attack formation of two ships and eight warships, increased their horsepower, and rushed towards the Wusongkou battery.

The Japanese ship's shè hit jīng degree was very high, perhaps during the garrison of the Jiangsu Provincial Security Corps, the coordinates had long been determined by the Japanese, although it was at high speed, it reached the first hit, the No. 1 gun position was hit by several large-caliber heavy shells, the strong battery shook violently in the sound of explosions, a shell, fell at the mouth of the concealed dòngmén, caught off guard, the fighters of a regiment of the air defense brigade on the gun position, several people fell in a pool of blood, and the shore defense artillery was also slightly damaged.

Almost at the same time as the Japanese ship's shelling, the battery commander gave the order to return fire, and one after another the shells whistled out of the chamber and flew towards the Japanese ship, but unfortunately, the Japanese ship was in high-speed movement, coupled with the first live fire of the soldiers, using this large-caliber coastal defense gun, cào was not very proficient, and none of the shells fired back in the first round hit the target.

The Japanese ships were taken aback, but they did not expect that the scraps of the Chinese defenders' security regiment dared to fire back, and hurriedly made evasive actions, twisting out the "S" shape on the sea, and the main guns on the side of the sea, lù showed a hideous appearance, and a ball of fireworks erupted from the gun, and a rain of bullets fell on the Wusongkou fort, and the smoke and dust on the fort were billowing on the fort, and the solid cement fortifications were blown up in large pieces of hún concrete, shrouded in a piece of gunsmoke.

The Japanese ships were furious, and the Chinese army, which had always been tolerant, dared to fire at the noble warships of the Imperial Japanese Navy, and they were too self-conscious, not to mention the miscellaneous security regiment troops that were not in the squadron, and the Japanese Navy, which had always been bullish, had a kind of tiger being annoyed by a cat scratching its paws.

They knew there that they were facing the nemesis of the Japanese army, Tang Qiuli's troops, and in front of such a force, any Japanese army would never be pleased.

In the fort, the sightman who was responsible for locating the target regretfully slapped himself with a big mouth, even the geese flying in the sky could shoot down, such a large warship, stunned to miss the target, say it, don't let the peers laugh off the big teeth? It just so happened that the Japanese ship took evasive actions and stormed out the huge hull.

This time there must be no more misses, the sightmen almost put their eyes on the artillery mirror, almost at the same time, one after another shè strike was issued, the shells landed accurately on the Japanese ship, exploding a ball of fire, and then, the Japanese ship rose with billowing smoke.

There was a cheer on the battery, and then, more shells flew towards the Japanese ships, and the column of water that soared into the sky and the smoke on the Japanese ships contrasted with each other, and each Japanese ship was injured in a different way, and the two Japanese ships led by them were the objects of key care, and they were also the most rampant and fierce of the two Japanese ships.

The Japanese fleet suffered a little loss, and saw the ferocious firepower of the battery, although I didn't understand what was going on, and I had never seen the Chinese defenders so powerful in normal times? The fleet commander hurriedly ordered a retreat and a duel with the shore defense guns, the warships could not take advantage, there were no roots in the water, but the shore defense guns were hidden in the strong fortifications, and on the warships, only thick gun barrels could be seen.

The Japanese ships turned the rudder and retreated, trying their best to get out of the fire of the shore defense guns, while returning fire with the rear main guns, rushing to the front of the two Japanese ships, this time it became the last to evacuate, and it was also unlucky, they were seriously injured, their actions were not very neat, and they fell behind, and the soldiers of the first regiment of the air defense brigade, can they let them go?

All the shore defense guns concentrated on shelling these two warships, shells rained down on the Japanese ships, seeing the Japanese ships ignited a sky-high fire, the hull of the ship is more and more poured, the speed is getting slower and slower, one of the Japanese ships, may be the bomb yào cabin was hit, maybe the bomb yào was killed in the fire, there was a violent explosion, the bow of the ship was raised high, and suddenly fell to the sea, the huge hull, was split in two, broke from it, made a whirlpool on the sea, and disappeared into the boundless sea in the blink of an eye.
