Chapter 205 Ballooning!
The security soldiers led by the regiment commander Hou watched as the city wall had collapsed for two or three sections and the ground was burned to black.
Large craters with a diameter of more than ten meters and a depth of four meters can be seen from time to time;
The kind of crater with a diameter of one or two meters is everywhere.
How fierce the battle here is, people from these security teams can think of it with their walking foot boards.
Every security team member's face turned pale. They were just security teams, not regular soldiers.
When I was in the Lion Grove, I thought the battle over there was very fierce.
When they arrived here, they saw the craters of four or five meters in diameter on the ground and the remaining blood at the edge of the pit. Only then did these security team members realize that compared with the bombings under Baoshan, the bombing on the Lion Forest was completely unimportant.
When Battalion Commander Yao saw the arrival of the security team, his eyes narrowed.
There are only more than 200 people left in his battalion who can fight. Commander Hou brought 1,200 people to replenish it. This is great.
There are a lot of weapons and ammunition stored in Baoshan County. These were seized by the Second Battalion, which were successively wiped out three infantry brigades of the Japanese.
Battalion Commander Yao immediately said, "Rountain! I don't want all of these people, just half of them are enough."
Lu Jingrong thought for a while: "There are only more than forty people left in the Second Battalion, and I don't know what it will be like on the Wusongkou Fort today.
There are only a dozen people left in my guard platoon, all of which need to be supplemented.
Let’s do this, the Third Battalion will add 450 people, my guards will add 50 people, and the Second Battalion will add 700 people."
"Rountain! The second battalion has added 700 people, isn't it too many?" Yao Ziqing reminded.
"They are basically disabled, so add more. With them on the fort, you can also reduce the pressure here."
One sentence made Captain Yao silent. If the Wusongkou Fortress could be really maintained, Baoshan County would be much more relaxed, at least the pressure from the Yangtze River would be shared.
Let’s calculate it again: there are more than 200 veterans in the Third Battalion, with 450 people added, and there are also about 700 people.
The second battalion added 700 people, and there were only less than 750 people in total.
After comparison, Battalion Commander Yao smiled: "Everything is heard from the troupe."
While they were allocating, Li Cheng, the platoon leader, rode two people on motorcycles, and his face was filled with smoke.
At this time, his military uniform was dirty and torn several holes, and the other two soldiers were almost the same.
Seeing them like this, Captain Yao and Captain Lu's heart suddenly sank: "Have the Second Battalion and the guard platoon all finished?"
Thinking of their team of only sixty people, let alone a large group of Japanese attacks, even a squadron of Japanese attacks is three times the strength of the Second Battalion.
In this case, it was a miracle that Platoon Commander Li was able to escape back with two people.
As soon as Platoon Commander Li arrived, Commander Lu immediately asked: "How is the fort? How many people are left in the Second Battalion?"
"The fort is still in our hands! There are still forty-seven people left in the Second Battalion," Platoon Commander Li said quickly.
"Lucky! Fortunately, the Japanese did not attack Wusongkou, so they must have not reacted yet." Battalion Commander Yao also breathed a sigh of relief.
Like Commander Lu, he was afraid that the Wusongkou Fort was already trapped, and he heard that there were 47 people left in the Second Battalion and had not yet been reduced.
Prove that they have not participated in the battle today.
Commander Lu's expression was obviously relaxed, and he said relaxedly: "Okay! That's good! Platoon Commander Li, when he goes back, he will take Commander Hou's men back.
Tell Battalion Commander Wei, man! I have made up for him, so I must guard the fort.
Weapons! Take whatever you want!”
Battalion Commander Yao also said: "Platform Commander Li! If you think you need any weapons, just pick them up by yourself. There are more weapons seized yesterday.
Today we also seized twelve machine guns and eighteen bullet barrels.
After returning, he gave Wei Yingzuo a message: He said that Lao Yao thanked him for his advice. This morning, we wiped out three Japanese infantry squadrons, and only seven of them were injured or killed."
Battalion Commander Yao was indeed very grateful to Wei Mingyang for his idea. Today, not only did his battalion not be bombed by the Japanese large-caliber artillery shells.
And he also easily paid a very small price and successfully annihilated more than 500 Japanese devils. This was the best battle that the Third Battalion fought after entering Baoshan County.
Platoon Commander Li quickly stood at attention: "Yes!"
When he heard Battalion Commander Yao talk about the Baoshan defense battle today, Commander Lu's mood became better and said with a smile: "Platform Commander Li is not restricted, talk about your preparations at the fort."
When he saw that since there was no battle at the Wusongkou Fortress, the Second Battalion should be stepping up the arrangement of defensive fortifications.
Platoon Commander Li only had the opportunity to report: "Room seat! After you lead the team away from Wusongkou Fort.
Battalion Commander Wei took us to clean up the battlefield and gave up all the external fortifications.
Only defense lines were arranged in the strongest fortress of the fortress, and a warning lookout was set up at the highest point of the fortress.
At about seven o'clock, we found two Japanese gunboats on the Huangpu River escorting a wounded ship towards the Yangtze River.
Captain Wei guessed that it was the Japanese who were in Yun Yingbin's wounded, so he used mortars to sank all three of the Japanese ships on the fort.
The guard platoon was ordered to take the initiative to attack and annihilate the Japanese who jumped into the river and fled their lives.
After I took my brothers and I wiped out all the Japanese who had escaped ashore, I saw the fort call us back.
When I returned to the fort, I realized that the Third Fleet of the Japanese Navy was coming from downstream to the fort."
"The Third Fleet of the Japanese Navy is here! What are you still staying at the fort? Retreat quickly!" Commander Lu was anxious.
Although he did not face the Japanese Navy, he had heard that one shot of the Japanese Navy could destroy a company of the National Army.
Captain Yao looked at Lu Tuanzuo with resentful eyes: Tuanzuo! Are you biased?
The north, east and west of Baoshan County were all blown by Japanese naval guns.
The Second Battalion guards the fortress. When you hear the Japanese fleet coming, you let them retreat!
The Third Camp is bombed here, so you have to withstand it!
Li Cheng smiled and said, "Battlefield Commander Wei brought Lu Fei, Yang Dazhu and his brothers from the guard platoon out of the fort, but left me and the Second Battalion inside the fort.
Say we are going to stick to the fort!"
Commander Hou, who had been afraid to say anything, suddenly said, "He ran away!"
If it were me, I would definitely have to run away!
"Brothers don't think the camp has run away!" Li Cheng explained.
"Did the Japanese naval fleet pass by?" Commander Lu asked nervously.
"No! The Japanese naval fleet is here to attack the fort! We saw more than a dozen Japanese gunboats carrying many Japanese toward the south bank.
They obviously wanted to attack from a little further away from the fort." Platoon Commander Li said.
"The Japanese Navy Special Marine Corps in Shanghai!" Yao Ziqing suddenly said.
"The combat effectiveness of this team is particularly strong! Their five thousand people withstand the fierce attacks of our three main divisions. This team is not easy to fight!" Captain Lu added.
