As for Wusong Town, before the Wusong Fort is captured, the Japs’ heavy equipment cannot get through at all, because there are only two roads into Wusong Town, from the north and the south, either from the Wusong Fort in the north, or from Yangshupu in the south, but Yangshupu
It is already the urban area of Shanghai and is under the control of the Songhu Independent Group.
Therefore, it will be more difficult for the little devils to capture Wusong Town! But even so, Wang Husheng still mobilized a large number of civilians and built a large number of bunkers outside Wusong Town and in the town.
If the little devil desperately sends out infantry to bypass the Wusong Fort and attack Wusong Town, it will be a trivial matter to get a bloody blow. If he is not careful, he may be cut off by the Songhu Independent Regiment, leading to an encirclement and annihilation battle! After all, the little devil's
Supplies had to pass through the Wusong Fort, and it was easy for the Songhu Independent Regiment to cut off their retreat.
Xu Rui praised: "Okay, Lao Wang, you did a good job."
Wang Husheng said: "Old Xu, I don't dare to take credit. This is all the credit of Dr. Wang."
"Dr. Wang?" Xu Rui said, "I remember you mentioned it to me last time, where is this Dr. Wang?"
Wang Husheng turned to Digua and said, "Digua, go to Bunker No. 3 and find Dr. Wang."
Digua agreed and walked away in a flash. Within a moment, he led a middle-aged man over. Xu Rui took a look at him and found that he was the most typical scholar in the Republic of China era. He wore wide-rimmed glasses.
No matter how he trims his appearance, his eyes look bright and lively, as if he can see into people's hearts.
Xu Rui stretched out his hands and said with a smile: "This must be Dr. Wang. Thank you very much this time."
"In that case." Dr. Wang wiped his hand on his clothes before shaking hands with Xu Rui, and then said, "It is an honor for me, Wang Zhenghao, to be able to contribute to the great cause of the motherland's Anti-Japanese War. I also have to thank you both, the regiment leader and the political commissar.
Giving me this opportunity finally did not bury what I have learned.”
Xu Rui asked: "Does Dr. Wang study engineering?"
Wang Zhenghao said: "I studied engineering at Stanford for my undergraduate degree, but I studied civil engineering for my master's and doctoral degrees."
Civil engineering? No wonder, no wonder we can design such a powerful fortress! And the required construction period can be shorter than previously expected, which is really a big help.
After chatting for a while, Wang Zhenghao returned to the construction site and said that the No. 3 bunker was not completed yet and the top cover still needed to be constructed. He had to watch it in person to feel relieved, so he said goodbye and left.
Watching Wang Zhenghao leave, Xu Rui turned to Wang Husheng and said: "Old Wang, you didn't do your job well. You actually didn't find out about talented intellectuals like Li Xiaoxia and Wang Zhenghao at the first time and do it specifically.
Easy to record? These great intellectuals are treasures, they can be worth five battalions if used properly!"
Xu Rui's words are not nonsense. In fact, he is already very conservative.
Like Qian Xuesen, he is even worthy of five mechanized heavy equipment divisions, and this is said by an American.
Intellectuals like Li Xiaoxia and Wang Zhenghao are certainly not as good as top scientists like Qian Xuesen and Li Siguang, but they cannot stand up to five divisions, but they are more than enough to stand up to five infantry battalions.
When Wang Husheng heard this, he immediately became anxious and said: "Old Xu, you have to speak according to your conscience. Do you think I don't think so? Since Shanghai was liberated, I started looking for intellectuals. The problem is that we have limited manpower and the work at hand is not
There are so many clues, and these intellectuals are scattered in every corner of Shanghai. Almost no one knows about them, so it’s really hard to find them.”
"Okay, okay, I was wrong." Xu Rui said quickly, "I blamed you wrongly, I blamed you wrongly."
Wang Husheng snorted softly, then changed the subject and said: "Old Xu, the fortifications of Wusong Fort have been almost repaired. Can the Second Battalion break out? Although Old Wu didn't say it in the telegram, I can roughly guess that the Second Battalion can break out of the encirclement."
I'm afraid the current situation in the camp is not very optimistic..."
"It's not just not optimistic, it's very pessimistic." Xu Rui shook his head and continued, "Now there are only about 120 people left in the Second Battalion including the wounded. If we don't break through tonight, we will have no chance.
Break out from Baoshan." After a pause, Xu Rui snorted again and said, "Otherwise, why would I rush to Wusong Fort to see if your fortifications have been repaired?"
"I'm telling you." Wang Husheng nodded and said, "Then quickly order the Second Battalion to break out."
After thinking for a while, Wang Husheng said again: "By the way, there are only more than a hundred people left in the Second Battalion now, and the wounded, if they rely only on their own strength, it will be difficult to stand out. Lao Xu, otherwise you send
A battalion will go to respond."
"Don't worry." Xu Rui nodded and said, "I have sent the first battalion, the third battalion, and the fourth battalion to respond."
"That's it." Wang Husheng said, "Then I'll feel relieved."

Baoshan County, Second Battalion defensive position.
Wu Liang is already making final preparations for tomorrow's battle.
Judging from the current situation, Baoshan is likely to fall tomorrow. Since the outcome is inevitable, Wu Liang has only one last thought left in his mind, which is to kill as many little Japs as possible before he dies.
, it is more likely to recruit a few more little devils to support them!
Wu Liang ordered that all excess ammunition be collected.
In this battle, the Second Battalion brought ten bases of ammunition, but now it only used six bases of ammunition, and there were four bases left. Naturally, it could not be left to the little devils, so Wu Liang planned to use it.
Collect all the extra ammunition and prepare a trap for the little devil.
Just as he was getting ready, Lin Yu walked over excitedly.
"Old Wu, good news!" Lin Yu said excitedly, "Good news!"
Wu Liang was unmoved and said calmly: "Good news? What good news?"
Lin Yu said urgently: "The leader ordered us to break out! The time is tomorrow morning!"
Wu Liang was stunned when he heard this, then he was overjoyed and said: "Old Lin, is this true?"
"Of course it's true." Lin Yu gasped, "How dare I lie to you about such a big thing?"
Wu Liang's eyebrows were filled with joy, but within two seconds, the joy on his face disappeared again. He shook his head and said, "But even if we can break out, we're afraid we won't be able to break out. The Japs have already surrounded Baoshan into an iron barrel."
Normally, our Second Battalion only has about 120 brothers left and more than 20 wounded, how can we possibly break out?"
"You don't have to worry about this." Lin Yu said again, "The regiment leader sent one battalion, three battalions, and four battalions to respond. One battalion and three battalions will pretend to attack Baoshan from Wusong Town and Jiangwan to the north, and the fourth battalion will
We will come from Wusong Fort, and when the gunfire rings out, we just have to break out to the east, as the Japanese defenses in the east are the weakest."
"Okay." Wu Liang said, "Then let's determine the order of retreat. You take the wounded and go first!"
"No." Lin Yu said, "The breakout task is the biggest. Whether our second battalion can break out depends entirely on whether the commandos can tear through the Japanese defense line. How can such an important task be accomplished without you as the battalion commander? As for breaking out,
Although I don’t have much ability as an instructor, I can still do this job well.”
"That's okay." Wu Liang nodded and did not continue to argue with Lin Yu.
Because what Lin Yu said was true. If the Japanese defense line could not be torn apart, even if the regiment leader transferred the entire regiment, their second battalion would still not be able to break out. Only the commando team could tear through the Japanese defense line, and their second battalion could barely break through.
There will be a glimmer of hope, so relatively speaking, the tasks after the break are still secondary.

At this time, outside the south gate of Baoshan County.
The little brat Konoe Shingen is also waiting in his wing.
Since Kujo Tadayoshi was cut into a stick, Konoe Shingen immediately strengthened the security of the regiment headquarters and the brigade headquarters of the three subordinate infantry brigades. Especially the night guard has been strengthened unprecedentedly. For this reason, Konoe Shingen specializes in special tasks.
The No. 1 Squadron borrowed four special forces soldiers to serve as night guards for each headquarters.
But even so, Konoe Shingen did not dare to fall asleep at night.
In order to deal with the beheading threat of Langya, Konoe Shingen changed his work schedule, taking time to sleep for a few hours during the day, and then working full duty at night! In this way, not only can he effectively avoid Langya's beheading battle, but also once inside Baoshan City,
, or enemy forces from the direction of Shanghai come for reinforcements, the 1st Guards Infantry Regiment can respond in time.
Konoe Shingen's move was actually out of helplessness, but in the end it was a mistake.
In the early morning, just after midnight, Konoe Shingen felt a little sleepy. He was about to get up and make a pot of tea to drink, but he heard fierce gunfire outside the tent. Hearing the gunshot, Konoe Shingen immediately threw it down.
Teapot, then reflexively took out a southern-style pistol, opened the curtain and rushed out of the tent.
As soon as I rushed out of the tent, I saw Yuichiro Kotani face to face.
Yuichiro Kotani is a special soldier seconded by Konoe Shingen from the 1st Special Warfare Squadron. This kid's main task now is to ensure the safety of the wing headquarters and Konoe Shingen.
Konoe Shingen then asked: "Otani-kun, where can I shoot?"
Kotani Yuichiro stretched out his hand and pointed forward and said: "Baoshan East Gate!"
"East Gate?!" Konoe Shingen immediately became stern when he heard this, and said ferociously, "Baga, it seems that the Chinese army in Baoshan City is preparing to break out!" After that, he said to the two signal soldiers who hurried over.
, "Order, Kondo Squadron is to block the Chinese Army inside the city gate at all costs. Takei Brigade immediately dispatches an infantry squadron to reinforce the east gate, hurry up!"
"Hai!"
"Hai!"
The two signal soldiers nodded loudly and turned around one after another.
Within a moment, the Japs barracks outside the South Gate immediately became noisy. First, several three-wheeled motorcycles sped out of the barracks, followed by two armored vehicles and two heavy-duty trucks, and finally a group of
The infantrymen, armed with live ammunition, ran and followed from behind, heading towards the east gate of Baoshan in a mighty manner.
But by this time, Dongmen had already turned into a pot of porridge.
