Chapter 179 One dares to speak! The other dares to believe!
Those Japs who were still struggling in the river were speeding up to get ashore earlier.
Seeing the change of scenery on the shore, he immediately turned around and swam desperately toward the middle of the river.
The greeting from the shore arrived quickly, and many bullets were whizzing around.
One after another, the Japanese approaching the river bank struggled in the river, and blood soon appeared.
There are also some Japanese who were already lagging behind but are still in the middle of the river, hundreds of meters away from the shore, still trying to swim to the other side of the river bank.
The entire battle ended in less than five minutes. Gu Zuo did not let his team chase the Japanese who were too far away.
After cleaning the battlefield, we actually searched the bodies of these Japanese soldiers and immediately led the team back to the fort.
He knew in his heart that there were too few people in the fort, and he and his men had to get out as quickly as possible.
I have just received a notification from the regiment: additional troops have arrived in the first battalion.
If you want to send those supplementary troops to Wusong Fort, the fastest possible date is tonight.
The red flag was already flying on the fort, urging Gu Zuo and the others to go back quickly.
Gu Zuo's position has not seen the airship of the multinational military observation group.
Lu Fei saw it and said loudly: "These foreigners are really not afraid of death. They are here again today."
Yang Dazhu also said: "The camp! These Westerners look up there every day. What are they trying to do?"
Wei Mingyang glanced coldly at the airship in the sky and said, "Did you squat under the tree and watch ants fight when you were children?"
"See it!" both soldiers said.
"We and the Japanese are just ants, and they think they are just children squatting under the tree." When he said this to his two soldiers, they understood.
A more accurate statement is: Westerners regard Shanghai and even the whole of China as the Colosseum of ancient Rome.
The Chinese army and the Japanese army were the fighters and beasts in the Colosseum, and they Westerners were the audience.
Unfortunately, the beast fighters of the National Army only had the simplest wooden swords, while the beasts of the Japanese Army were armed to the teeth.
On the one hand, these Westerners could have fun, but on the other hand, they also wanted to observe the reality of the Japanese army from the battle between the two sides.
At this time, all countries saw the Japanese ambitions, and all Western countries were on guard against the Japanese.
But they are unwilling to jump out into a battle of bets on the fate of the country with Japan, an emerging country that is gradually emerging in the 20th century.
Stilwell on the airship had already seen the battle on the Huangpu River through his telescope, from the beginning of the shelling to the gradual tilting of the Japanese gunboat.
He saw everything clearly, but because the distance was too far and covered by the fort, he had not yet seen Gu Zuo's sniper attack on the Japanese who came ashore.
When Stilwell saw the artillery shells flying out of the Wusongkou Fort landing on the gunboat without missing a hit, he knew in his heart that the legendary gunner of Battalion Commander Wei was on the Wusongkou Fort.
Only he can shoot such a cannon.
The same feeling was felt by Delise who was following him.
She said in surprise: "Oh! Wei is here too! Good fight!"
Xiao Lei took advantage of her life-and-death friendship with Colonel Stilwell yesterday to board the airship of the Military Observation Group.
She shouted excitedly: "Good fight! Good fight, Commander Wei!"
His little face turned red and he encouraged Wei Mingyang.
Stilwell first gave the airship pilot an order: "Stop three thousand meters above the fort."
Today he is here to watch how Wei Mingyang defends the fort.
"Despicable!" A crisp and tender voice sounded.
Xiao Lei and Dai Lisi looked back in shock and saw a beautiful oriental beauty looking at them with angry eyes.
Takahashi Mika! Of course Xiao Lei knows the female reporter of "Asahi Shimbun". It was this woman who actually stated the facts as false at the National Government's press conference.
Stilwell originally did not allow the woman to board the airship, but under the pressure of the Presidium of the Multinational Military Observer Group, he had to let the woman board.
"Why are you so mean? I sank your gunboat in a fair and just manner." Xiao Lei said loudly.
"Sneak attack! That's despicable! And they also bombed unarmed cargo ships. What a barbaric nation!" Takahashi Mika said with disdain.
"Soldiers never tire of deceit! Besides, the fort is right there. Everyone knows that the fort should have cannons. How can this be considered a sneak attack?
That cargo ship carried all the wounded and soldiers of the Japanese. How could they be unarmed?" Xiao Lei asked loudly.
"A soldier who has not taken up arms is not considered armed." Takahashi Mika said forcefully.
"It's terrible to be uncultured!" Xiao Lei stopped talking to the Japanese.
However, Takahashi Mika had no intention of letting her go. She chased after her and said, "The Imperial Japanese Navy's revenge is coming soon.
Have you seen those battleships on the Yangtze River?
They are all from the Japanese Empire, and the national soldiers on the Wusongkou fort will soon be shattered to pieces under the bombardment of naval guns."
When she said this, everyone on the airship fell silent.
They all know how large the caliber of naval guns is.
For example, the 303 mm caliber cannon on the "Izumo" battleship has a shell weighing more than 300 kilograms.
The power of the explosion was terrifying, not to mention the fact that there were four such large-caliber artillery pieces on the "Izumo".
Needless to say, as long as one such shell falls on the fort position, it is enough to collapse the fort's defense.
Even Colonel Stilwell had no confidence in his heart. He really didn't believe that Wei Mingyang could hold the fort under the indiscriminate bombardment of the Japanese Navy's Third Fleet.
Colonel Stilwell remained silent, but Takahashi Meixiang raised her pretty little face, smiled at him and asked: "Dear Mr. Colonel, do you think the Wusongkou Fort can be held for one hour?"
"One hour! Well, one hour should be enough, okay, maybe it can be kept!" Colonel Stilwell replied with some embarrassment.
In fact, he also believed that as long as the Japanese "Izumo"'s four main guns fired two shells each, the entire Wusongkou Fort would be finished.
If he could contact Wusongkou Fort, Stilwell would immediately notify Wei Mingyang: Run quickly!
Unfortunately, there is no contact information, so his idea can only be an idea.
Soviet military observer Colonel Ivanovich also said: "It is not wise to defend the fort at this time.
As far as I know: there are no cannons on the fort that can pose a threat to battleships.
It would be unwise to defend such a fort with no real defensive capabilities."
"Mr. Colonel! You are so wise!
In fact, the resistance of the Chinese people is stupid in itself. The excellent Yamato nation is willing to help this barbaric and backward country.
This is their honor. Many people with lofty ideals among them have seen this and fully agree with it.
Those few diehards forcibly dragged the entire country and nation into the quagmire of war for some so-called ideals.
