The officer looked at him carefully and said, "One hundred rounds."
Commander Hasegawa said loudly: "Fire out all these artillery shells! Use them all to attack the enemy forces on the north side of the Marine Corps Headquarters! Block their attack! Go quickly!"
The combat officer rushed to the telephone, ready to issue an order.
Commander Hasegawa yelled again: "Requesting for additional ammunition again! It must be replenished tonight!"
Commander Hasegawa's order was conveyed to each heavy cruiser. All those huge gun muzzles turned to land, especially to the national army position north of the Japanese Marine Corps Headquarters!
25-26
After a moment, those giant cannons began to bombard! It was an earth-shattering bombardment! Every time it was fired, it was like thunder, shaking the entire Shanghai! All Shanghai citizens opened their mouths in the thunder.
The Nationalist army positions exploded with explosions. Japanese planes in the sky also dropped bombs continuously. The Nationalist soldiers had no place to hide. From time to time, entire squads and entire platoons of soldiers were blown up into the sky! Broken limbs and broken arms were flying everywhere.
, too miserable to look at.
The same was true in the positions where Chen Zifeng and Xiao Ancheng were.
It was the first time for Gui Longhai to experience such a hellish scene, and he was thrown all over the ground by the blast wave. Xiao Ancheng grabbed him, pushed him under a broken wall, and hid sideways, letting the sand and gravel rubble roll on him.
Raindrops hit me like a raindrop.
They all hope that this burst of shelling will stop soon!
Alas! God will not bless me!
One of the heavy artillery shells roared towards and hit the headquarters of Brigadier Huang Meixing of the 264th Brigade!
The main building of Chizhi University was completely blown down and turned into ruins!
All the officers in the command post are not spared!
Brigadier Huang Meixing died for his country! The attack on the Japanese Marine Corps headquarters was stopped because there was no one to command it!
Alas! God will not bless me!
Chen Zifeng, who was on the front line, tried hard to raise his head and look around during the explosion.
He didn't know that Brigadier Huang's headquarters had been blown up. He only noticed that the national army's attack had stopped!
During the explosion, he heard the gunfire in the Japanese headquarters still fierce. He crawled and rolled around, looking for the national army officers, but could not find them. There were not many soldiers alive on the position!
He roared at the top of his lungs, urging the surviving soldiers to continue attacking. But the soldiers looked at him with their mouths open, not knowing what he was shouting. They all lost their hearing.
25-27
The fierce fighting in the Japanese military headquarters is still continuing, but the situation is already very bad.
The crazy Commander Okawa first noticed that the attack of the Chinese army had stopped.
He roared, moved the machine gun from the window into the corridor, and fired fiercely at the Chinese soldiers who were still resisting.
There were only a dozen soldiers left beside Company Commander Chai. They could not withstand the fierce fire from the machine guns and gradually retreated, finally retreating to the room they captured first.
He saw from the window that no follow-up troops were coming!
The soldiers around him are a lone army! It is impossible to hold on any longer!
He shouted hoarsely: "Get out! Get out quickly!"
However, two Japanese bombs were thrown in and exploded in the room. Several soldiers were killed. Those who were still alive were all injured!
Company Commander Chai's face was covered with blood, and he waved desperately to the window to signal the soldiers to withdraw!
The remaining soldiers supported each other and climbed out of the window.
Japanese soldiers armed with rifles roared into the room.
Company Commander Chai picked up his rifle and pounced on them like a dying leopard, making a last-ditch effort. He hoped to buy the last bit of time to allow more brothers to crawl out!
The blood on his forehead continued to flow down, blinding his eyes. He could not see anything, but he was swinging the rifle from side to side.
He felt severe pain in his chest, and all his strength was draining. The rifle in his hand fell to the ground. He only touched the bayonet inserted in his chest! He struggled to pull out the shell gun from his waist! However, a gun swung at him
on the face!
He fell heavily to the ground. Several more bayonets pierced his body!
In severe and unwilling pain, he exhaled his last breath!
25-28
In the foyer of the Japanese headquarters, there were more than 300 soldiers brought by Battalion Commander Liu Hongshen into this hell. But at this time, there were only more than 30 people left. They gradually retreated under the fierce fire of Japanese machine guns.
, and finally retreated into the foyer.
The Japanese machine gun bullets flew over in dense numbers like frightened wild bees, instantly creating a honeycomb on the wall.
The soldiers around Battalion Commander Liu fell one after another. Their injuries were not one or two, but more than a dozen!
The sound of the machine gun was deafening, dense bullets were flying in flames, shrapnel from handguns were flying everywhere, and smoke was filling the hall. This place has become a raging hell!
Battalion Commander Liu waved his hand to the door. He knew clearly that there was absolutely no way to survive outside, but that was the only way to go!
However, as soon as they rushed out of the gate, more bullets were fired at them!
From the window on the first floor opposite, three or four machine guns fired wildly at this small group of Chinese troops!
Battalion Commander Liu Hongshen, from Huangpu Phase 5, was twenty-eight years old and had been married for just three months! None of the soldiers around him were spared, and they all fell one after another in the crazy shooting! Each of them was hit by dozens of bullets!
The Japanese machine guns were still firing, and dense bullets continued to hit these bodies that could no longer move!
Their blood was gurgling, gradually gathering together, flowing under their bodies, and then slowly flowing down the steps. Slowly, slowly, it flowed up the square where they once ran, all the way to the gate.
Flow over there.
The blood of those soldiers slowly flowed forward, towards the gate, as if they wanted to leave here, leave this cannibal hell that took their lives!
At this time, the sky gradually darkened.
The blood flowing down the steps reflected the last afterglow and flickered, as if there were countless souls floating and jumping on it. They were in great pain and tired, screaming and squirming,
Finally solidified!
As soon as it got dark, the sound of gunfire gradually stopped. Japanese warships on the Huangpu River also stopped shelling.
The fighting on the first day, fierce and crazy, finally stopped.
25-29
Late at night, Chen Zifeng and his sniper team, plus Gui Longhai, finally returned to Qiaojia Lane.
They looked like they had climbed out of a pile of dirt, their bodies and faces were covered in dirt, and even their hair had turned gray.
Their clothes were torn and torn. Everywhere that could be seen on their faces or hands were streaks of blood scratched by the flying rubble. As for the invisible places, their knees and arms.
, shoulders, and back are all bruised.
The most fortunate thing about them was that they were not injured by gunshots, although every step they took was laborious.
When they entered the station, Qiao Yanfang rushed out and looked at them with concern.
The first person she faced was Chen Zifeng. She glanced sharply at him from head to toe, and then slapped him on the shoulder. Chen Zifeng seemed to be unprepared and tilted.
She turned to Qiang Hu next to her. Qiang Hu grinned at her, shaking his shoulders and waving his arms to show that he was not injured. As a result, he also received a slap on his shoulder from her. He smiled even more.
Happy.
When she turned to Xiao Ancheng, Xiao Ancheng was lowering his head and preparing to go around.
She screamed: "Brother!" with a look of resentment on her face.
Xiao Ancheng had no choice but to stop, look back at her, and said, "No need to check, I'm fine."
Qiao Yanfang pursed her lips, looked at him silently, and reached out to touch the wound on his forehead, looking very distressed.
Qiang Hu came over, pointed at his forehead and said, "I also have a large piece of tear here, Xiao Qiao, please touch and see."
25-30
Chen Zifeng and others went to the kitchen at the back to take a shower.
As soon as he took off his clothes and poured a basin of cold water over his head, he saw how serious the bruises on his body were.
The injury on Chen Zifeng's shoulder was the most serious, it was black and purple and swollen.
He grinned and said, "Xiao Qiao's palm hit right here! This girl's hands are really heavy!"
Xiao Ancheng touched the bruise on his shoulder and lowered his head.
What floated before his eyes were all the national soldiers who had fallen on the battlefield and could never get up again! There were also the broken limbs hanging on the walls, branches, and scattered on the rubble!
What impressed him most was that Captain Chai who was always yelling and talking. He led his soldiers into the Japanese headquarters and never came out again!
Chen Zifeng slapped him and said, "I know what you are thinking! Damn, how many brothers have been sacrificed!"
Xiao Ancheng felt tears streaming down his face and said in a sob: "Company Commander Chai and the others fought until the end! The shelling has stopped, but they are still fighting! No one has come out! No one has come out!"
Chen Zifeng patted his back and said, "I know, I've seen it all!"
Gui Longhai had already burst into tears and said: "Liu Battalion Commander led two companies and rushed in! No one came out! They all died in the battle! That Battalion Commander Liu was married just three months ago!"
Chen Zifeng looked at him and kept shaking his head. He turned to the wall suddenly, picked up a basin of cold water and poured it over his head. He wiped the water on his face again and again with both hands, but it seemed that he could never wipe it clean.
He was a man with a heart as solid as stone, but recalling the horrors of the battlefield, he finally couldn't bear it any longer. He turned back and hooked his arms around Xiao Ancheng's neck, held his head against his, and began to cry softly.
As soldiers, they knew war was cruel, but they didn't expect it to be so cruel!
25-31
At night, all the brothers gathered in the main room and listened to Qiang Hu and Xiao Zhang describing today's battle.
Everyone gritted their teeth, grinned, clenched their hands into fists, and kept shaking their heads.
Qiang Hu and Xiao Zhang had no exaggeration or exaggeration, only calm descriptions. When they spoke to the end, they burst into tears and could not go on.
Chen Zifeng, Xiao Ancheng, Qiao Yanfang and Tan Hao were sitting in the corner, talking in low voices.
Qiao Yanfang stared at Chen Zifeng and asked, "Are you still going tomorrow?"
Chen Zifeng shook his head, feeling as depressed as if he was being pressed down by a big stone.
He whispered: "Let's do our own thing! Find Japanese spies! If we find one, we'll kill him and never let him go!"
