The patrol battalion's general attack was launched so suddenly that Major Yamamoto Ichiro was completely unprepared.
Originally, the focus of the patrol battalion's attack had always been on the Sichuan Road Bridge, which was further inside. The Erbaidu Bridge, which was located relatively outside and was closer to the Huangpu River, was not the patrol battalion's main target. The reason was obvious, because the defenders of the Erbaidu Bridge
It is easier for the army to obtain fire support from the Izumo cruiser, which is even more detrimental to the patrol battalion.
But one night passed, the patrol camp's choice suddenly changed.
Looking at the patrol battalion officers and soldiers rushing over like a tide, Yamamoto Ichiro suddenly felt a little numb.
This naval task force under Ichiro Yamamoto was temporarily formed by sailors from various warships. It only had more than 300 people, but the officers and soldiers of the patrol battalion rushing from the front numbered at least a thousand, or even
More! What's even worse is that they are still under attack from both sides, and there are also people from the patrol camp south of Erbaidu Bridge!
The patrol battalion coming from the north was particularly aggressive, charging forward at all costs!
It was not until the patrol battalion rushed to the forward position of the naval task force and the two sides exchanged fire that Yamamoto Ichiro finally came to his senses. While asking the signal corpsmen to raise a flag and request artillery support from the cruiser Izumo, he personally led the naval task force's
The fourth team rushed out to the forward position.
The arrival of Yamamoto Ichiro and the Fourth Team was very timely. If it had been half a step slower, the first line of defense of the Navy Special Task Force would have been lost. However, the situation was still grim. The arrival of Yamamoto Ichiro and the Fourth Team, although it was temporarily stable,
The defense line was broken, but the patrol battalion's offensive was still very fierce, and the naval task force suffered casualties very quickly!
In just such a short period of time, the fourth team brought over by Yamamoto Ichiro had already suffered more than a dozen casualties.
Yamamoto Ichiro estimated that at the current consumption rate, his naval task force could only withstand for less than forty minutes at most. After forty minutes, the Erbaidu Bridge position will be lost, and Yoshizumi Ryosuke
But they were asked to hold on for at least two hours no matter what. At that moment, Yamamoto Ichiro no longer wanted to save face, and quickly sent people to the Broadway Building to ask for help.
Now that the main attack direction of the patrol battalion has shifted from Sichuan Luqiao to Erbaidu Bridge, the Broadway Building stationed at Sichuan Luqiao should have a surplus of troops. After all, Broadway Building has gathered two special agent brigades on the south bank of the Suzhou River, and they
A special agent brigade is equivalent to the size of a regiment!
After receiving Ichiro Yamamoto's request for help, Wu Han and Chen Baixi fell into their trap.
Because at this time, Wu Han and Chen Baixi also knew Leng Tiefeng's overall plan.
At that moment, Wu Han selected 400 absolutely reliable veterans from the Special Agent Brigade and formed a temporary squadron, led by Leng Tiefeng, to rush to the Erbaidu Bridge in an emergency. It must be noted that the Langya Brigade was also included in the squadron.
In this temporary squadron, a special squad number was temporarily assigned.
A quarter of an hour later, Leng Tiefeng led the temporary squadron to Erbaidu Bridge.
After receiving reinforcements from the temporary squadron of more than 400 Broadway agents, Yamamoto Ichiro could finally take a breather. However, how to coordinate operations with the people in the Broadway Building and achieve unified command became a problem.
Just when Ichiro Yamamoto was worrying about the coordinated command, Leng Tiefeng brought Mo Zichen to Ichiro Yamamoto, and then spoke to Ichiro Yamamoto in Chinese.
Naturally, Yamamoto Ichiro didn't understand. When he was worried, Mo Zichen next to him started talking, and he actually spoke in Japanese.
"Taijun, this officer said that they were ordered to come for reinforcements. Now the defense of the north end of Erbaidu Bridge will be handed over to them. The imperial army only needs to be responsible for the south end of the bridge." Mo Zichen's Japanese seemed a bit stiff, at least.
I'm not very proficient, which is normal. Although I have learned Japanese, I don't use it much after all.
But in this way, the flaws will be smaller. Otherwise, if you can randomly find more than 20 students from Baptist University, they can speak fluent Japanese. Then Yamamoto Ichiro will be suspicious. After all, Baptist University is a Christian university and is used for teaching.
The language is English, not Japanese, so how could there be so many students who can communicate fluently in Japanese?
Sure enough, after hearing Mo Zichen speak in blunt Japanese, Yamamoto Ichiro had no doubt at all.
"Yo Xi." Yamamoto Ichiro patted Leng Tiefeng on the shoulder and said, "Then the north bridgehead will be left to you, but you must be careful. The patrol battalion in the north has obviously gone crazy and is attacking fiercely. You must be careful.
You have to be mentally prepared, but you don’t have to worry too much, the Navy of the Empire of Japan will provide you with artillery support.”
Leng Tiefeng knew Japanese, but he could only pretend not to understand. It was not until Mo Zichen finished translating that he pinched his nose and pretended to be a traitor, and nodded at Yamamoto Ichiro with a flattering look on his face.
Yamamoto Ichiro then led his troops back to the south of Erbaidu Bridge.
Watching Yamamoto Ichiro and the Japanese go away, Mo Zichen asked in a low voice: "Boss, why did you let them go? Didn't you say that you want to become familiar with the Japanese? Then we should defend together and fight side by side.
Then we have the opportunity to get to know them, but now you ask them to guard the south bridge and we guard the north bridge. What is this?"
"You can't rush this matter." Leng Tiefeng shook his head and said, "If you get anxious, you'll get carried away, and the little devils will become suspicious. Then they will walk away and leave us at Erbaidu Bridge. Then you
what to do?"
"Can't you?" Mo Zichen whispered, "Can a Japanese be so unkind?"
"That's what you said." Leng Tiefeng snorted, "The Japanese you mentioned seem to be very humane."
"Look at my bad mouth." Mo Zichen lightly slapped his mouth and said, "The little devils are all beasts, how can they be humane."
"Just wait patiently." Leng Tiefeng said cheerfully, "Tell the brothers, after the patrol battalion starts to attack, they will raise the muzzle of the gun three inches and shoot into the sky, but do not save bullets.
The more lively the fight, the better, we must create the illusion for the little devils that we are fighting a bloody battle with the patrol camp, do you understand?"
"Understood!" Mo Zichen nodded, then turned around to deliver the order.
After a while, the patrol battalion on the north bank of the Suzhou River launched another attack.
At this time, Zhapu Road, where the Erbaidu Bridge is located, had already been reduced to ruins by the large-caliber naval gun of the cruiser Izumo. A large number of houses on both sides of the street had collapsed, and many wooden houses had even caught fire. Not only were there
There was dust and thick smoke, and visibility was very poor.
However, this is not a problem at all for the temporary squadron of the Second Special Agent Brigade.
Because Leng Tiefeng's order had already been conveyed, they just raised their guns and fired into the air.
Leng Tiefeng is not afraid of leaking information, because the more than 400 members of the temporary squadron are absolutely reliable.
In an instant, the sound of gunfire from the north bridgehead position of Erbaidu Bridge rang out. At this time, the officer commanding the patrol battalion attack in the north had also secretly received the order, and tacitly ordered the troops to lie down on the spot and hide behind
Behind the ruins and various bunkers, they fired indiscriminately at the north end of the Erbaidu Bridge.
It should be noted that the attacking patrol battalion did not receive an order to shoot into the air.
Xu Rui didn't dare to give this order, because there were 100% spies from the Nakamura Agency and even No. 76 in the patrol camp. If he dared to give this order, Ying Zuozhen Zhao would soon know that there was a tacit understanding between the patrol camp and Broadway Building.
, and then this carefully constructed trap will immediately come to naught.
So the patrol camp is really fighting, but the only senior officers who know the truth have restricted the way of the attack. They only allow the soldiers to hide behind the cover and fire their guns, and are not allowed to launch a charge. So there is no need to worry about causing large-scale accidental injuries. At most
Only a few unlucky ones will be injured by stray bullets.
But on the surface, the fight between the two sides was still very fierce.
At least, when Kiyoshi Hasegawa looked down from the bridge of the cruiser Izumo, he felt that the patrol battalion and the people from the Broadway Building were fighting fiercely on the north side of the Erbaidu Bridge, but compared to the hand-to-hand fighting south of the bridge, it seemed a bit...
Gentle, yes, that's right, the Japs south of the Erbaidu Bridge have already started hand-to-hand combat with the patrol battalion.
In order to cooperate with Leng Tiefeng in singing this play well, Xie Yuan, who was in command south of the Erbaidu Bridge, also spent a lot of money and sent out the last remaining cannon fodder squadron.
Under the threat of bayonets and machine guns from the patrol battalion, more than 800 Green Gang gangsters from the Cannon Fodder Squadron, bayonets in hand, launched a desperate charge towards the South Bridgehead position stationed by the Japanese Navy Special Task Force.
A heavy machine gun was set up behind their buttocks. If they dared to retreat, they would die immediately!
These Youth Gang gangsters in the Cannon Fodder Squadron did not dare to surrender, because they had already heard about the incident where some people surrendered to Broadway Building in front of the position, but all of them were beheaded. The agents in Broadway Building were Chinese after all, and they were all so cruel.
Not to mention the Japs at Erbaidu Bridge opposite.
What did you say? Why didn't you stand up and resist? Turn your guns and attack the patrol camp?
Stop being ridiculous. The guns provided by the patrol camp are empty and don’t have a single bullet. How can you hit them?
So, I won’t say anything anymore. If I say too much, I will shed tears. I’d better grit my teeth and move forward!
If you rush over, you might still have a way to survive. If you can't rush over, you'll have to come back eighteen years later.
Facing the little Japanese's gun, more than 800 Green Gang gangsters from the Cannon Fodder Squadron launched a desperate charge. Then, after paying more than half of the casualties, the remaining 300 or so people finally rushed to the little Japanese's gun.
In front of the position, a fierce hand-to-hand combat broke out immediately. It is said that rabbits will bite when they are anxious. More than 300 Qing Gang gangsters were also very capable of fighting when they were anxious.
Yamamoto Ichiro's naval task force had less than a hundred people left. Facing more than 300 Green Gang gangsters who were cornered, they fell into a desperate situation as soon as they met.
