Wusong Fortress, the counterattack troops finally returned.
Before I even entered the door, I heard Ding Wenbao's loud voice shouting: "Regiment leader, political commissar!"
Upon hearing this, Xu Rui smiled and said to Wang Husheng: Old Ding must have gotten something good! "
As expected, Ding Wenbao shouted excitedly as soon as he entered the door: "Captain, and the political commissar, guess what good stuff I got?"
Wang Husheng said: "I guess you have seized a good knife!"
"I did get a few good knives." Ding Wenbao nodded, then shook his head and said, "But this is nothing!"
"Isn't Zuoguan Dao a good thing?" Wang Husheng shook his head and said, "Then I can't guess. You should ask your regiment leader. He is a magic teller and knows everything."
Ding Wenbao turned to Xu Rui and said proudly: "Captain, guess what."
Xu Rui's eyes narrowed slightly and said, "You captured the Japanese army flag!"
Ding Wenbao was stunned when he heard this and said: "Captain, can you guess this?"
"Do I need to guess?" Xu Rui said, "It's all written on your face."
Wang Husheng was overjoyed when he heard this and shouted: "Old Ding, have you really captured the Japanese army flag?"
"That's not the case!" After Ding Wenbao finished speaking, he turned back to wave and shouted, "Come here, bring up the flag!"
Ding Wenbao's guard walked in with the captured regiment flag and handed it to Wang Husheng with both hands. Wang Husheng took it and unfolded it. He looked at it carefully and said with great joy: "Old Xu, you are really the number one infantry guard."
The alliance flag, little devil Hirohito is going to vomit blood now!"
"Yeah!" Xu Rui nodded and said, "This is definitely a blow to the little devil's Guards Division!"
"Give me this regiment flag. I will take this flag back to Dameishan and give it to the head of the military in person! By then, not to mention 50,000 rockets, I will take back all 100,000 rockets!" Wang Husheng
said.
Wang Husheng was finally persuaded by Xu Rui, and he agreed to leave for Damei Mountain in two days.
However, just as a few people were talking and laughing, Xiao Taohong suddenly walked in with a solemn expression.
"Uncle!" Xiao Taohong walked up to Xu Rui and reported, "The little devil has sent more troops to Wusong Fortress again."
"What?" The smile on Wang Husheng's face froze and he said in shock, "You little devil, you want to increase your troops?"
"Come on, just let them come!" Ding Wenbao said excitedly, "We will eat as many as they come!"
"These bastard little devils really care about food and not fight! They have just suffered such a big loss. How dare you come here?" Xu Rui stood up and said to Wang Husheng, "Let's go and take a look."
Xu Rui and Wang Husheng stood up and left, and Ding Wenbao quickly followed.
The three of them hurried up to the observation post on the top of the mountain and looked down. Sure enough, they saw bright car lights all the way from Luodian to Baoshan and then to Wusong Fortress. No need to guess, this must be the convoy of the little devil. Since there are
If there is a convoy, then there must be the little Japanese infantry running to follow. The little Japanese has indeed added more troops!
Ding Wenbao immediately said excitedly: "The little devil has sent us a flag again."
Xu Rui remained silent, and the expression on his face instantly darkened.
"Old Ding, you are too optimistic." Wang Husheng shook his head and said, "We are just afraid that we will be in trouble."
"Trouble, what trouble can there be?" At this time, Shi Changqing, the commander of the first battalion, also happened to rush over and said casually, "The little devil has been beaten to the end by us, and there is nothing we can do, right?"
In the eyes of Ding Wenbao and Shi Changqing, the Japanese were indeed at the end of their rope.
Let's attack by force. Let's not talk about the main facilities of Wusong Fortress. The outer group of bunkers alone are enough for the little devils to drink. If the little devils don't fill in 30 to 50,000 people here, there is no way they can break through the outer bunkers.
If you want to capture the entire Wusong Fortress, the price you have to pay will be even greater!
Tunnel excavation is a good idea, but unfortunately it cannot avoid the barrage of heavy machine guns.
Add a steel plate to the top of the tunnel? Our Songhu Independent Regiment also has rocket launchers!
Therefore, Ding Wenbao and Shi Changqing really couldn't think of any other tricks the little devil could use?
"We are at the end of our rope? There is nothing we can do?" Wang Husheng said, "Old Shi, Old Ding, you are wrong. In fact, we are the ones who are at the end of our rope and are at our wits' end, not the Japanese!"
After a pause, Wang Husheng added: "We don't have many rockets left. If the Japs follow the previous tactics one or two more times, we will really have nothing to do!"
"Ah?" Ding Wenbao and Shi Changqing were instantly stunned.
After a long while, Ding Wenbao waved the alliance flag in his hand vigorously and said: "In the past, when there were no rocket launchers and fortresses, wouldn't we still be fighting against those little devils? At worst, we would have to fight with them!"
Xu Rui noticed Ding Wenbao's action of waving the flag out of the corner of his eye, and then without any warning, a glimmer of light suddenly flashed across Xu Rui's eyes. Perhaps, he could make an article about this coalition flag! Since the little devil is walking around
The threat of a regular attack is extremely high, so find a way to prevent them from following the lead!
Seeing Xu Rui's eyes shining brightly, Wang Husheng asked hurriedly: "Old Xu, what else do you have in mind?"
"Lao Wang, you call Lao Ye right away and ask her to organize a press conference at the Chinachem Hotel in the public concession immediately. Envoys from Western countries in Shanghai and media personnel will be notified, saying that we are independent in Songhu.
The regiment has important news to announce!" Xu Rui hummed and said to Ding Wenbao, "Old Ding, put away the military flag and come with me!"
(Dividing line)
At this time, Shanghai's nightlife has just begun.
The first floor of Chinachem Hotel is the shop, and the second floor is the grand ballroom. After nightfall, the neon lights on the exterior wall of Chinachem Hotel light up one after another, and the light box at the entrance of the ballroom on the second floor shines brightly, like lights in the dark.
The trap attracts the inebriated rich and powerful to come here to get drunk and relieve their punishment.
However, the situation tonight was a bit special.
When those apartment dwellers and ladies who were accustomed to nightlife came to the Chinachem Hotel, they were told that it would not be open to the public tonight and that the venue had been booked by the Songhu Independent Group. Then those ladies or socialites returned disappointed, while those apartment dwellers
Cursing, he headed to several other entertainment venues.
There was also a nobleman from the former Qing Dynasty who wanted to break in with a few White Russian bodyguards. However, the soldiers of the Independent Regiment guarding the door did not hesitate to pull the bolt of their guns and pointed the black muzzle at them. The nobleman from the former Qing Dynasty immediately gave up.
Then, diplomatic envoys from Western countries stationed in Shanghai and reporters from the media arrived one after another. After showing their IDs to the guards guarding the door, the guards immediately let them go. Among these diplomatic reporters and reporters, the British Minister to China
Stephen and Jonathan, the general director of the Concession Industry Bureau, were among them.
When Stephen and Jonathan walked into the hall, they saw that the venue had been decorated.
Wilson, the military attache of the U.S. Embassy in China, arrived one step earlier than the two of them. When he saw the two of them coming in together, Wilson immediately came forward to greet them.
Jonathan tilted his head slightly, and then asked: "Colonel Wilson, the Songhu Independent Regiment suddenly held a press conference, do you know why?"
Wilson shrugged, saying that he didn't know either, and then continued: "But I think, if nothing else, I hope that envoys from various countries will come forward to mediate and give them a decent opportunity to evacuate Shanghai."
"Evacuate Shanghai?" Jonathan's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he asked anxiously, "Is the Songhu Independent Regiment going to evacuate Shanghai?"
"This is just a guess on my part," Wilson said with a shrug, "but I think it's pretty close to the truth."
While the three were talking, Wilson's eyes suddenly lit up because he saw Helena, the chief war correspondent of the Associated Press in China. He immediately said sorry to Stephen and Jonathan, and then walked quickly towards Helena holding a red wine glass.
, however, as soon as he walked in front of Helena, Wilson was surprised to find that her hands were actually in the arms of a young U.S. Navy captain. What was going on?
"Hi, Colonel Wilson." Helena also saw Wilson and greeted happily.
"Hi, Miss Helena." Wilson waved, but kept his eyes on the navy captain.
The navy captain sensed Wilson's hostility and responded immediately, putting his arms around Helena's slender waist.
"Colonel, this is my boyfriend, Lucas." Helena introduced the navy captain to Wilson and asked, "Were you also invited to attend the press conference of the Songhu Independent Regiment?"
"Yes." Wilson's eyes flashed with coldness, and he added, "Anyway, I have nothing to do. I came here specifically to see how Xu Rui lowered his proud head and asked us to lend a helping hand to him."
"Really?" Lucas said, "So Colonel Wilson doesn't think highly of the Songhu Independent Regiment?"
"Of course." Wilson said without thinking, "How could the Songhu Independent Regiment be an opponent of the Japanese army?"
"I don't think so," Lucas said. "I do think that Xu Rui held a press conference this time to announce some major news."
Helena smiled and said: "I think so too."
"Really?" Wilson frowned and said coldly, "Then let's wait and see."
While the three people were talking, the loud voices of several guards suddenly sounded outside the gate: "The regiment commander is here!"
Hearing the shouts of the guards, the envoys and media reporters who were whispering in the hall all turned their heads and looked towards the entrance of the hall. Then they saw Xu Rui striding in with an officer, and the sharp-eyed Helena
Noticed that the officer was holding a yellow silk bundle in his hand.
"Sorry, I'm really sorry." Xu Rui and Ding Wenbao strode across the center of the hall, climbed onto the podium, then stood behind the microphone and said loudly, "On the way back from Wusong Fortress, something happened.
The delay has made everyone wait for a long time. I am here to first say sorry to everyone."
