"Yay! Hit. Wu Quan shouted excitedly, and was then pulled to the bunker next to him by Wang Ning next to him to hide.

Wang Ning looked at Wu Quan and said earnestly, "As a sniper, it's best to change places with one shot on the battlefield, so as not to be targeted by the enemy." And you can't be like you just now, it's easy to expose the target with a fuss and be retaliated against by the little devils. Wang Ning is a junior sniper (level 2) summoned by Jin Zhao through the system, and after joining the special service platoon with Xu Wenqiang, Jin Zhao designated him to teach Wu Quan how to become a qualified sniper.

Wu Quan smiled honestly, "Got it!" Although Wang Ning, who is a junior sniper in terms of marksmanship, may not be better than Wu Quan, Wang Ning has undergone systematic sniper training after all. Although Wu Quan is honest, he is not a fool, and naturally knows that this is Wang Ning's method of teaching himself to save his life on the battlefield, so he does not reject Wang Ning's teachings.

"There are also machine gunners, grenadiers, and officers of the little devils, which pose a greater threat to our army, and will be our first targets." Wang Ning thought for a while. At this moment, two grenades of the little devil fell on the position of our army and exploded with a bang. A light machine gun suddenly fell silent.

Wang Ning's face changed, "This is the grenadier of the little devils, kill them first." ”

Wu Quan nodded at Wang Ning, held the 38 rifle in his hand, and began to look for the target. It didn't take long for the two to set their goals. "Bang bang" two gunshots, and the two grenadiers of the little devil fell to the ground in response.

In the other direction, Wang An, who is also a junior sniper like Wang Ning, is teaching the injured Wu Yuan, Wu Bao was already injured, but he insisted on refusing to go to the battlefield, due to excessive blood loss, Wu Pei's face was very pale at this time, but Wu Bao was still engrossed in aiming at a machine gunner of the little devil, and with a bang, a cloud of blood mist erupted on the little devil's head, and he fell to the ground miserably.

Under the desperate counterattack of the soldiers of the first battalion, the little devils who suffered heavy losses soon dropped the corpses all over the ground and retreated in embarrassment.

Jin Zhao frowned and said to Huang Hui beside him, "The little devil was repelled by us this time, I'm afraid the little devil's plane will come to bomb us next." ”

Sure enough, as Jin Zhao expected, it didn't take long for the two fighters of the little devil to fly over Jin Zhao's position. Obviously, the little devil's plane was here to avenge their infantry, and the two fighters shook their wings proudly in the sky, and then swooped down with a roar. At this moment, on the originally calm position, the sound of machine guns suddenly sounded, and two M Gaoping dual-purpose machine guns and six light machine guns opened fire in the air at the same time, and the crossfire formed directly knocked the two planes into black smoke. The pilot of the little devil was quite clever, and when he saw that something was wrong, he hurriedly pulled up the plane, but the first plane that rushed down was too seriously injured, and it just pulled it up and turned into a brilliant firework in the air. The second plane also rose black smoke and staggered away.

Seeing the little devil's plane, one was directly blown up, and the other was also injured and fled, and a burst of cheers broke out again on the position.

Although Jin Zhao's position was full of jubilation, repelling several attacks by the little devils one after another, and even laying down a plane, other positions suffered heavy losses under the bombardment of the plane.

At about 10 a.m. on 29 July, the bombing of the aircraft caused the General Factory of the Commercial Press and the Oriental Library to be destroyed by fire, and more than 300,000 volumes of the library's collection, including many rare books, were burned. At the same time, under the cover of armored vehicles, the army continued to launch fierce attacks on the main positions of our army.

On January 29, because of the outbreak of the 128 Incident, the Nanjing government held an emergency meeting. Jiang Zhongzheng, who had been forced to leave the opposition in December 1931 due to the September 18 Incident, returned and was appointed chairman of the Military Commission by the Nanjing government, responsible for mobilizing the army and commanding the Shanghai War. So far, the former Commander-in-Chief Chiang has become Chairman Chiang, and Chiang is the commissioner!

Lao Chiang's principle of countermeasures, that is, "on the one hand, prepare for negotiations, and on the other hand, actively resist", and stipulated: "Negotiations must be set as a final line of defense and the maximum limit, and this limit must at least not hinder administrative and territorial integrity, that is, not to damage the spirit of the Nine-Power Pact and not to lose national rights." If this limit is exceeded, when it retreats to an intolerable line of defense, it will be a decisive battle, even if it is defeated and killed. It is necessary to have this determination and spirit, and then we can negotiate with each other. At the same time, Lao Chiang made a military deployment of "the 19th Route Army to defend Shanghai with all its might, and the former Guard Army (i.e., the 87th and 88th Divisions) to defend Nanjing with all its might". Lao Jiang Yu wrote in the chronicle of the 29th day: "The Japanese will want to invade my southeast again? I have no choice but to fight to the death! Chiang also made the decision to move the capital in his chronicles to avoid an alliance under the city: "Determined to move the political axe and fight against the Japanese for a long time."

After the September 18 incident, Lao Jiang also saw his real surname clearly, for fear of following the incident in the northeast last year and encroaching on the southeast coastal area in one fell swoop. Although the three eastern provinces are distressed to lose Lao Jiang, the three eastern provinces are Zhang Shaoshuai's territory after all, but the southeast coastal area is his own territory, and the Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas are Lao Jiang's money bags, so they can't be lost anyway. What's more, Lao Jiang has just made a comeback, and if he doesn't resist again, I'm afraid that he will not be far from going into the wilderness for the third time, so Lao Jiang decided to desperately resist the invasion of Yue Kou.

On the same (29th), Lao Jiang sent a telegram to He Chengjun, chairman of Hubei Province stationed in Wuhan, and He Tingyao, commander of the 4th Division: "Last night, the Japanese invaded the defense line of our 19th Route Army in Zhabei, Shanghai, and they are still fighting at this moment. Our army will fight to the death, and there will be military operations in the Hanxun Navy, so we must be on strict guard for self-defense, and we must not give in to it. The Fourth Division should concentrate on Wuhan for strict defense and not disperse. In the future, military spending will be difficult, and only local governments will raise their own funds. Another telegram with the same content was addressed to Jiangxi Provincial Chairman Xiong Shihui.

At the same time, Lao Chiang ordered the 47th Division (division commander Shangguan Yunxiang) stationed in Bengbu to be stationed in Pukou, Nanjing, in the name of the Military Commission, to prevent the army from attacking Nanjing.

At 2 o'clock in the afternoon of the 29th, under the bombardment of the planes, a fire broke out at the Shanghai North Railway Station. The army took the opportunity to launch a fierce attack on the North Railway Station, which is the land transportation hub of Shanghai, and its gains and losses are related to the safety of the entire Zhabei. A company of the 6th Military Police Regiment guarding the North Station fought fiercely with the Japanese army for an hour, and was finally forced to withdraw from the station due to heavy casualties, and the Japanese army captured the Shanghai North Railway Station. The situation in Shanghai is becoming more and more severe.
