Half an hour later, Kujo Tadayoshi was carried to the regiment headquarters of the 1st Guards Infantry Regiment. After seeing this tragic scene, Konoe Shingen and Sanjo Kyosuke were so angry that their noses were crooked.
This is a provocation. This is definitely the most serious provocation against their First Guards Infantry Regiment!
"Konoe-kun." Kujo Tadayoshi looked straight at Konoe Shingen and begged, "Kill me, please!"
There was a look of pain on Konoe Shingen's face. He hesitated for a moment, but finally pulled out his saber and stabbed Kujo Tadayoshi in the heart. The heart was pierced. Kujo Tadayoshi let out a light sigh and finally swallowed his last breath.
He took a breath, but his face showed a look of relief. For him, death was the best relief.
Bagagaru! Sanjo Kyousuke gritted his teeth and said: "Konoe-kun, we must take revenge, this matter is not over!"
Of course it's not over! No one has ever dared to issue such a provocation to our Guards Infantry Regiment. If this situation cannot be recovered, where will our Guards Infantry Regiment's face be put? Konoe Shingen gritted his teeth and said: "
Baga, none of the Chinese people in Baoshan City can survive, they will all be buried with Lord Kujo!"
"Not only Baoshan City!" Sanjo Kyousuke said through gritted teeth, "but also Shanghai. All the Chinese people in Shanghai will have to be buried with Kujo-kun, everyone in Shanghai!"
"It's too early to say this." Konoe Shingen waved his hand and said, "It's almost dawn. We'd better think about how to capture Baoshan City as soon as possible and then Wusong Fort. That's the serious thing!" Pause!
He paused and then said, "Sanjo-kun, I'm afraid I can only trouble you to temporarily act as the captain of the First Infantry Battalion."
Sanjo Kyousuke nodded and said, "Hai."

An hour later, it was getting dark. The Japanese naval artillery group and the aviation bomber group once again began to bombard Baoshan County. Forty minutes later, the 1st Infantry Regiment of the 1st Guards Infantry Regiment
The brigade once again launched a fierce attack on the east area of Baoshan City controlled by the Second Battalion, and the battle became fierce from the beginning.
Sanjo Kyosuke, the little devil, also became ruthless and ordered the troops to attack forward regardless of the cost.
But unfortunately, the combat effectiveness of the Second Battalion of the Songhu Independent Regiment on the opposite side was no worse than that of the Japs, and they also had Langya snipers to assist them. Therefore, although the Japs also had more than a dozen snipers from the Xiaoluyuan Brigade to assist them, they attacked fiercely.
After a whole day, they were still unable to capture the eastern area of Baoshan City, and instead lost more than 500 Japanese soldiers.
In the evening, the Second Battalion even launched a counterattack and almost wiped out all the remaining Japs. Fortunately, the other two infantry brigades of the 1st Guards Infantry Regiment arrived in time, which prevented the 1st Infantry Battalion from being completely destroyed.
But even so, the First Guards Infantry Brigade was basically crippled, and there were only less than 200 people left in the entire brigade.
However, the Second Battalion opposite also suffered heavy casualties. There were more than 1,500 officers and soldiers when they first entered Baoshan County, but now there are only less than 500 people left, a reduction of more than 60%! If according to Westerners
Standard, this unit has not only completely lost its combat effectiveness, but can even be deactivated.
But for Chinese soldiers, this is nothing.
In fact, during the War of Resistance Against Japan, it was normal for both the National Army and the National Army to still persist in fighting despite reducing their strength by more than 90%. For the sake of the country and the nation, it was not uncommon for all members to die in battle. It was precisely because of the bravery of Chinese soldiers
This fearless sacrifice, one after another, finally won the great victory of the arduous War of Resistance Against Japan.
A night of silence.
On the morning of the next day, the Japs once again dispatched engineers to repair the Sitang River Bridge, and dispatched an infantry brigade to bypass the south gate and complete the encirclement of Baoshan County. Moreover, the Japs who bypassed the city also returned.
An infantry squadron was dispatched and launched a tentative attack on Wusong Fort, but was severely damaged.
After the exploratory attack on Wusong Fort was severely damaged, the Japs immediately retreated and besieged Baoshan County with all their strength.
By now, the little devils finally saw clearly that before completely occupying Baoshan, they could not attack Wusong Fort without any distractions! As a result, the First Guards Infantry Regiment concentrated almost all its forces, from four different
direction, and launched a fierce attack on the second battalion at the same time.
After another day of fierce fighting, the Second Battalion's defense area has been reduced to less than 200 meters in radius. In the words of the little devil, bullets can penetrate it several times! The only thing worth celebrating at this time is the naval gun group of the little devil navy.
Also, the aviation force finally has no place to use, and now it can only rely on infantry to attack.
After nightfall, Baoshan battlefield fell silent again.
After coming off the battlefield, Wu Liang didn't even bother to drink water, so he went directly to the small courtyard where the wounded were placed.
Because Baoshan was surrounded from all sides, today's wounded could not be transported back to Shanghai as usual, so they could only be temporarily placed in a small courtyard. Since there were no military doctors or medicines, the dozens of wounded could only be cleaned briefly.
The wound was then bandaged. As for whether it would be disabled or something, I no longer cared about it.
Even so, some seriously injured people could not hold on and unfortunately died.
After visiting the wounded, Wu Liang seemed particularly silent and felt a little depressed.
When he first took orders from Xu Rui, Wu Liang was mentally prepared for the sacrifice of all members. However, when he saw these good brothers who shared life and death dying in front of him, he could not help but feel heartbroken and depressed. Wu Liang asked for help
He walked into a deserted corner, took out a wrinkled cigarette case from his pocket, and then took out a wrinkled cigarette.
He held the cigarette in his mouth, but he searched all his pockets and couldn't find a match.
When Wu Liang was about to get up and look for a match, there was a sound next to him, and a burning match was handed over to help Wu Liang light his cigarette.
Wu Liang lit the match and took two deep breaths. He turned around and saw that it was the instructor Lin Yu.
Lin Yu extinguished the match with a flick of his hand, and said quietly: "Old Wu, I just counted it, and there are still a total of 128 people left in the battalion, including the wounded." After a pause, he added,
"If reinforcements don't come, we won't be able to survive tomorrow no matter what, you know."
"Reinforcements?" Wu Liang shook his head.
When he first accepted this order, the regiment leader made it clear that this was a fatal mission!
The implication is that the Second Battalion can only defend Baoshan by itself. How many days can it be defended? As for reinforcements, there will never be any! This is normal, because the third Battle of Songhu has just begun.
The reason why someone has to defend Baoshan is just to buy Wusong Fort time to build fortifications!
However, this does not mean that the regiment headquarters will endlessly fill the black hole of Baoshan with precious troops! Because compared to urban Shanghai, the battlefield environment in Baoshan is too harsh, and the Japanese would rather fight with the Songhu Independent Regiment in Baoshan
It's a big fight, but the regiment will never make such an unwise decision.
Therefore, it is impossible for reinforcements to come!
Lin Yu sighed: "But if there are no reinforcements, I'm afraid we won't be able to defend it tomorrow!"
The changed order from the regiment headquarters was to defend Baoshan for three days. Now we have defended Baoshan for two days, and there is only one day left!
But with the remaining strength of the Second Battalion, I am afraid it will be difficult to complete the mission, and Baoshan will most likely be lost tomorrow.
"You have to keep it even if you can't!" Wu Liang took a deep puff of his cigarette and said in a deep voice, "Old Lin, don't forget, our entire camp has written suicide notes. At worst, we will lose these 100 kilograms
Let me explain it here, since we have killed so many Japanese in the past few days, we have already made enough money, it is worth it!"
Lin Yu fell silent.

After nightfall, Xu Rui came to Wusong Fort in person.
After a few days, Xu Rui discovered that Wusong Fort had changed a lot. Good guy, Wang Husheng's time of more than half a month was really not in vain. He really allowed him to build a complete chain of fortifications based on Fortress Mountain!
The core of the entire fortification is the Fortress Hill Fortress. Oh no, now I want to talk about the Fortress Hill Fortress!
After more than half a month of intensive construction, Fortress Mountain has really been strengthened into a fortress! The belly and back of the mountain were almost completely hollowed out, and then the structure was redesigned using reinforced concrete as the supporting frame. Although the top and front of the mountain were
Most of it has been preserved, but it has also been strengthened and gun emplacements have been reserved.
The four fortress cannons have been installed. With these four large-caliber fortress cannons, they are enough to lock Wusongkou!
Anti-aircraft gun positions have been reserved on the top and left and right sides of the Fortress Hill Fortress. More than 20 anti-aircraft guns purchased by Xu Rui from the United States have already been installed in place. The six fighter-bombers lost by the little devils before were used to make the Fortress Hill Fortress
The anti-aircraft artillery group was shot down, and now the Japanese air force hardly dares to come to Wusong Fort.
That's not all. On the back of Fortress Hill Fortress, there are more than a dozen bunkers scattered in a fan shape. These bunkers are well arranged and can form effective fire cover for each other without blocking each other's firing range. What's especially rare is that
, due to the shielding of Fortress Mountain, these bunkers are not afraid of the Japanese naval guns!
This is very powerful, it directly eliminates the threat of the Japanese large-caliber naval gun group!
Xu Rui made an on-site inspection of the thickness of the walls of these bunkers, which were at least two meters! The top thickness was even more than three meters. With the current level-firing artillery firepower of the little devil, I am afraid it is powerless. Throwing heavy aerial bombs from the sky might be able to target them.
It caused damage to the people inside the bunker, but it was powerless to do anything to the bunker itself.
In short, given the current conditions, the Japanese may have no other good strategy except a long-term siege.
In view of the long-term siege that the Japs are likely to adopt, Wang Husheng also left a backup plan. Under the Fortress of Fortress Hill, there is a specially reinforced secret passage connected to Wusong Town! In other words, as long as Wusong Town is not lost, the Japs can
The Japanese had no intention of trapping the defenders of Wusong Fort.
