Chapter 89: The 6th Regiment’s Battle
The next day, in Shanghai, the Zhabei battle that erupted late at night plunged the entire Shanghai into the shadow of war. Regardless of whether the foreigners’ concession side dispatched large numbers of foreign troops, armored car units, and artillery units to garrison,
or whether many foreign fleets arrived at the Huangpu River, closely monitoring the Japanese Army’s fleet, and the foreigners’ diplomats were also negotiating with the Japanese Army’s diplomats,
as for the rest of Shanghai, it was completely affected by the war,
although large-scale war had not yet broken out, it had already made many civilians and residents of Shanghai panic-stricken, and even many people wanted to flee to the foreigners’ Public Concession.
And at this time,
Zhou Weiguo had also gotten up and finished breakfast, preparing to leave home together with Liu Zhihui,
to go to Fudan University for class,
as for Zhou Weiguo, he was definitely planning to go find Yang Yi,
but just after he took Liu Zhihui in a car to head to Fudan University,
a Security Team dispatched by Zhou Wenhua followed behind them, conducting surveillance.
Zhou Weiguo was completely unaware of this,
and at this time,
the Japanese Army once again used more than twenty armored cars as vanguard troops, divided into five columns, continuing to launch an offensive operation from various intersections in Zhabei.
“Damn Japanese Troops are attacking again, it’s only morning, and these damn ones have come again!”
“Continue preparing the Suicide Squad for me, blow up all these damn Japanese tanks, just like last night, blow them all up!”
After seeing the Japanese Marine Corps once again launch an attack under the cover of tanks,
Regiment Commander Zhang Song of the 19th Route Army’s 156th Division 6th Regiment immediately shouted hoarsely, issuing a series of operation orders to his remaining troops below.
“Yes! Regiment Commander!”
“The Suicide Squad is here!”
After his operation orders were issued,
Adjutant Zhao Dayong, who had already reorganized the Suicide Squad, immediately responded loudly,
at the same time, a fearless Suicide Squad immediately used cluster grenades to launch a charge operation, using infiltration tactics to destroy the Japanese armored cars,
“Boom! Boom! Boom!”
After a series of explosion sounds rang out,
several Japanese tanks were immediately destroyed,
but a batch of Suicide Squad members were also sacrificed,
“The Japanese tanks are blown up, immediately counterattack operation for me, slaughter all these damn Japanese!”
“Let them know the power of our 19th Route Army!”
“Charge! Brothers!”
After seeing his Suicide Squad succeed in the operation again,
Regiment Commander Zhang Song was the first to stand up, holding his rifle, shooting at the Japanese Marine Corps while shouting loudly for counterattack operation.
“Charge!”
After his charge operation was launched, all the remaining soldiers of the 19th Route Army’s 156th Division 6th Regiment around him also charged out from their trenches, engaging in fierce combat with the Japanese Marine Corps,
as their mutual fierce battle began, warfare erupted everywhere in the nearby street blocks, flames filled the sky, the battlefield was extremely tragic, corpses everywhere, lying haphazardly in their own blood,
gun and cannon sounds were also incessant.
“Should we act now?”
“The 19th Route Army’s 156th Division 6th Regiment probably won’t hold out much longer!”
At this moment,
in the concealed street block where Zhou Wenhua’s German-equipped Company and Security Team were,
Security Team Company Commander Xiao Wenjie, who was observing the battle with military binoculars, inquired of German-equipped Company Company Commander Chen Weihua beside him.
“Wait for the boss’s order!”
“And we don’t need to be too nervous, the battle has just started, the 19th Route Army 156th Division will dispatch reinforcements to support their 6th Regiment in operation!”
“Although the Japanese Troops are launching attack operation in five columns, the Japanese Marine Corps’ first wave combat force is only around 3000 men, the 19th Route Army 156th Division’s forces can still hold temporarily!”
“Moreover, according to our intelligence, the 19th Route Army’s other reinforcements are also rushing here to conduct support operation, so I believe that with just this bit of Japanese Marine Corps, they cannot defeat the 19th Route Army determined to resist to the end!”
“Unless they flee without fighting like the Northeastern Army!”
“Or the Japanese Army brings large numbers of reinforcement troops, otherwise the battle advantage will still be with the 19th Route Army!”
German-equipped Company Company Commander Chen Weihua responded very calmly,
“.”
Security Team Company Commander Xiao Wenjie.
was speechless for a moment.
He felt the other was right,
“Let’s still make preparations!”
“I think the Japanese aircraft carrier will soon dispatch Japanese Aircraft Group for air strike bombing operation!”
“Prepare for air defense!”
Just as Security Team Company Commander Xiao Wenjie was speechless,
German-equipped Company Company Commander Chen Weihua reminded.
“Mm! I know!”
“Because I have already seen those damn Japanese Aircraft Group taking off for attack operation from their equally damn aircraft carrier fleet! They are flying towards the 19th Route Army 156th Division 6th Regiment’s position for bombing!”
Security Team Company Commander Xiao Wenjie quickly nodded in agreement.
Because at this time, he had also observed the incoming Japanese Aircraft Group through the military binoculars,
a Japanese Aircraft Group, as well as taking off for attack operation from the aircraft carrier “Notoro”.
The Japanese Aircraft Group’s flight speed was very fast,
in no time, it had already flown over the 19th Route Army 156th Division 6th Regiment’s position, conducting air strike bombing operation by dropping aerial bombs,
but unfortunately in this critical situation,
the National Revolutionary Army did not dispatch Air Force to assist the 19th Route Army against these hateful Japanese Aircraft Group.
“Boom! Boom! Boom!”
“Boom rumble rumble! Boom rumble rumble”
Soon, one Japanese Aircraft after another dropped aerial bombs, indiscriminately bombing the 19th Route Army 156th Division 6th Regiment’s position.
“Bad! Damn Japanese Aircraft Group is here, quickly take cover for air defense! Scatter quickly, don’t get bombed by them!”
The moment he saw the Japanese Aircraft Group appear,
Regiment Commander Zhang Song immediately shouted out in alarm.
He, who was leading the troops in charging and engaging in counterattack operation,
also immediately shouted hoarsely, commanding his troops to conduct air defense operation.
Unfortunately, his shouts could not make his troops quickly disengage from the battlefield to avoid being air strike bombed by the Japanese Aircraft Group,
because while conducting air defense, they still needed to repel the Japanese Marine Corps’ entanglement operation,
although after the Japanese Aircraft Group appeared,
the Japanese Marine Corps also quickly evacuated to avoid their own troops being accidentally bombed.
