"Explore the air balloon?"

Seeing the air balloon rising above the Japanese position on the south bank of the Huangpu River, Yang Jing's eyes immediately condensed.

If it were the past, Yang Jing might have thought it was just an ordinary hot air balloon, but now, after being proficient in defensive warfare, Yang Jing knew that the air balloon raised by the Japanese was definitely not that simple.

The Japanese wanted to use the air balloon to condescend to lock and detect the specific location of their artillery positions.

If it were an ordinary national army commander, there might be no way to use the Japanese to explore the air balloon.

But Yang Jing had been on guard against the Japanese. He put down his telescope and shouted to the guard platoon leader Ma Tong next to him: "Ma Tong, let the soldiers of each company throw the smoke bombs for me."

...

The south bank of the Huangpu River.

When she saw the rising white smoke on the north bank, Tanishou suddenly felt something was wrong.

However, he still had a trace of fantasy in his heart, so he had a gloomy face and asked the adjutant Shirō Ichiho, "Baga! What is the weather team doing? Why hasn't the exact location of the Chinese artillery yet?"

"Niyi will ask now." Shinono Ichiho bowed and ran over to ask quickly.

After a moment, he hurried over and reported with a drooping face: "Commander, according to the weather team, white smoke spread everywhere on the positions of the Chinese army, and the specific situation was completely unaware of, so it was impossible to determine the location of the Chinese army artillery."

"Baga! What a cunning Chinese!" The last glimmer of hope in his heart was shattered, and Tani Shoufu's old face suddenly turned blue and purple.

Chief of Staff Shinoko Kazuki said: "It seems that the Chinese army commander on the opposite side is a difficult opponent. He seemed to have expected that the Imperial Army would send a meteorological team to determine his artillery position, so he came up with a solution to release smoke bombs.

At this moment, we can only seek support from the Navy Air Force.”

After pausing, Shirō Kazuki continued: "But it's too late today, so we might as well take a break and wait until tomorrow morning to continue to move."

Tani Shoufu fell into deep thought.

At this time, an intelligence officer suddenly rushed over and reported with a serious expression: "Report to the division commander, the identity information of the defender on the opposite side was found."

"Oh?" Gu Shoufu's eyes narrowed. He was eager to know the identity information of the army on the north bank of the Huangpu River that had brought great shame to the imperial army one after another, and hurriedly asked, "Which army is opposite?"

The intelligence consultant paused and said: "Hu Ben Camp."

"Hu Ben Camp?" Gu Shoufu's face changed: "Is it the Hu Ben Camp that brought great humiliation to the 3rd Division of the Imperial Army in Baoshan?"

"Hayi!"

"No wonder these Chinese troops were able to severely damage the vanguards of the Imperial Army and the crossing river troops one after another.

It seems that this Yang Jing is indeed not simple.”

After learning that his opponent was Hu Ben Camp, Tani Shouo returned to his original calmness.

As a famous general of the empire, he is naturally not a fool who loses his mind when he is angry.

Shinono Kazuho reminded: "Secretary Commander, should we order to stop crossing the river?"

"Yeah!" Gu Shoufu said: "This Yang Jing was able to severely damage the Imperial Army one after another, and it was indeed a difficult opponent. The Imperial Army was not prepared enough today, so it is indeed not appropriate to cross the river to fight again!"

After saying this, Tani Shoufu's face suddenly became gloomy: "However, the 6th Division of the Imperial Army is not comparable to the 3rd Division's idiots!

It is a dream to build glory on my 6th Division!

He passed my order and the crossing army immediately turned back.

The army took a break and after dark, they bypassed Songjiang Wharf and looked for a suitable location to cross the river from the upstream and downstream!

In addition, the artillery company was ordered to open fire immediately to cover the crossing of the river to move forward!"

"Hay!"

Shirōjikō shuo slapped his head heavily and immediately took the order to leave.

On the surface of the Huangpu River.

The Japanese crossing forces received the order to move in and were overjoyed. They rushed to turn around and rowed the ship towards the south bank, fleeing from the river in a panic.

"Help, wait for us, wait for us!"

The Japanese soldiers who fell into the river were hoarsely asking for help while striding hard.

"Want to run?"

Yang Jing raised his lips and showed a cruel smile. He immediately said to the guard platoon leader Ma Tong, next to him: "Order the cannon company to extend my firepower and blow my damn!"

"yes!"

Ma Tong received the order with a loud bang, and immediately called to convey the order to the cannon company.

Then, the artillery soldiers from both sides of the enemy and us opened fire and carried out an unprecedentedly large artillery battle.

"Boom boom boom boom boom!"

The explosions came one after another, and their heads resounded over the entire Songjiang Wharf, as if they were torn apart the Supreme Sky.

The shells fell into the Huangpu River, which not only continued to cause great casualties to the Japanese troops crossing the river, but also greatly increased the difficulty of the Japanese crossing the river and paddling.

In the end, more than 1,000 Japanese soldiers from the crossing army, and only two or three hundred were lucky enough to escape back to the south bank of the Huangpu River.

The soldiers of the North Bank defenders were all hiding in solid fortifications, and the positions were filled with smoke, so the Japanese could only shoot blindly, so the casualties of the Japanese were much smaller than those of the Japanese.

Yang Jing stood in a wide-open position and watched the Japanese crossing the river troops return in a panic, and his vision in the telescope was looking in other directions.

While observing, he was also thinking far-reachingly.

The 6th Japanese Division was defeated today and would never give up. The enemy will definitely deploy new combat plans and make a comeback again.

By then, the Japanese will be more fierce and the battle will be more tragic.

After thinking for a moment, Yang Jing had a new defensive plan in his mind.

Immediately, he ordered Rae'er to call and inquire about the casualties in the frontier positions.

Soon, the war loss data was reported.

13 people were killed in a row, 25 people were injured, including 8 seriously and 17 minor injuries.

18 people were killed in the second company and 30 were injured, including 6 seriously and 24 minor injuries.

14 people were killed in the artillery company.

The Songjiang security team was killed 42 people and injured 63 people, including 28 seriously and 35 minor injuries.

The defenders suffered a total of nearly 200 casualties, almost all of which were caused by the Japanese aviation and artillery.

Although the casualties were quite heavy, they were nothing compared to the results achieved.

After this great victory, not only did the morale of the Huben Camp soldiers rise, but the idiots from the Songjiang Security Team are also full of confidence in the subsequent battle.

It’s great to follow the Hu Ben Camp to fight the Japanese!

Considering the casualties of the first company, second company, and the first squadron of the Security Brigade, Yang Jing replaced it, and the Third Company, Fourth Company, and the Second squadron of the Security Brigade were responsible for preventing the frontier positions of Songjiang Wharf.

At the same time, he is responsible for guarding the river bank.

Yang Jing knew that it was almost impossible to defend the entire river bank with the strength of the defenders.

However, the accuracy and timeliness of the intelligence must be ensured to prevent the Japanese army from robbing the camp overnight.

After a while, Rae's ear suddenly ran over excitedly, reporting: "Company Commander, good news, the reinforcements of the 67th Army arrived!"
