On the artillery position at Sheshan.
Guo Zixu received a telegram from Shangguan Biaoji. He had used 120 rockets to sink three Japanese heavy cruisers. This deal was worth it.
Without the threat of the Japanese cannons, they could now go head-to-head with the Japanese on the battlefield.
"Order, the artillery battalion will bring a Type 03 long-range rocket launcher to support Commander Shangguan Biaoji. The guard platoon will bring another rocket launcher to attack the Japanese headquarters building with me.”
With an order, the artillery battalion that had just been mechanized split into two and set off in two different directions.
The two regiments led by Li Fugui, who was in charge of attacking the Japanese command, had already surrounded the Hongkou Japanese Navy Command building. The light and heavy machine guns and the six 75mm field cannons were also in position. The brothers of the suicide squad were also ready to charge.
In the artillery camp, three Type 63 107mm rocket launchers continued to fire, repeatedly bombarding all military facilities in the headquarters building.
Finally, according to the plan, the artillery battalion stopped firing.
At the infantry regiment's position, the newly promoted commander of the 5th regiment, Li Fugui, gave the order to launch a general attack. Two battalions of independent brigade soldiers immediately jumped out of the trenches and attacked the headquarters building under the cover of light and heavy machine guns.
The three rocket launchers from the artillery battalion had already cleared the perimeter of the headquarters building for the charging soldiers. There were corpses and guns abandoned by the Japanese everywhere.
Li Fugui held his binoculars and watched the battlefield anxiously. When the soldiers of the two battalions were less than 50 meters away from the Japanese headquarters building, they suffered a fierce counterattack.
Da da da, da, da!
Suddenly, 12 heavy machine guns opened fire from the four underground fortresses in front of the Japanese command center. The net of fire instantly killed dozens of soldiers.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Dozens of grenade launchers opened fire from the Japanese's headquarters, and countless 48-petal melon grenades exploded along the independent brigade's attack route.
Immediately after, the Japanese's mountain cannons and tanks also began to show their might. They poured their fierce artillery fire on the independent brigade's position, suppressing the attacking troops until they could not raise their heads.
"F * ck, are these Japanese born in the year of cockroaches? You didn't even die from the explosion!"
Seeing that the attack of the frontline troops was blocked, Li Fugui, who was in charge of commanding, was so angry that he threw his general's hat and roared,"Signal soldier, get me Battalion Commander Shen of the Cannon Battalion.”
The call went through very quickly. Li Fugui did not waste any time and went straight to the point."Old Chen, f * ck, are your cannonballs made of flour? After a few rounds of artillery fire, the Japanese's firepower is still so fierce. One charge almost wiped out my company. Hurry up and fire at the motherf * cking Japanese!”
Shen Dalang, who received the call, was confused. This shouldn't be. He immediately ordered the artillery unit again,""Pass on my order. Target, the Japanese headquarters building.”
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The 36 rockets flew towards the Japanese's headquarters.
The rocket accurately hit its target, and the incendiary bomb instantly turned the headquarters into a sea of fire. Shen Dalang saw with his own eyes that three Type 92 tanks were turned into fireballs.
Da da da, da!
After throwing down dozens of corpses, the Independent Brigade's attack was once again obstructed.
Li Fugui and the others did not know that they were attacking the strongest permanent fortifications of the Japanese Hongkou Command. It was a hidden fortress built of thick reinforced concrete that was half-hidden underground. Ordinary explosives and armor-piercing bullets could not cause any substantial damage to it.
The Japanese had been operating in Songhu for decades. The naval headquarters building in Hongkou was the bridgehead they used to provoke the Battle of Songhu. The internal fortifications were so strong that it was unimaginable.
In the command room of the underground bomb shelter of the Japanese command center, General Shirakawa, who had recovered his composure, personally took command. Countless orders were sent from the command center to all levels of the Huadong dispatch troops.
"Order the guards stationed at Songhu port to arrive within an hour. The 3rd Division rushed to Songhu to send reinforcements. Command, the air force will take off from the nearest airport to carry out air strikes and bombing on the enemies surrounding the headquarters. Command the navy."
Faced with the fierce attack of the Chinese soldiers, Shirakawa Masayoshi no longer stubbornly believed that only a small group of troops were attacking the headquarters. Instead, he believed that the main division of the national army had secretly returned to the Songhu battlefield and immediately carried out a large-scale military mobilization.
Matsushita Tarou rushed into the command room, holding the top-secret telegram he had just received.
Facing General Shirakawa, who had lost his composure, the other Japanese officers in the command center could not help but look at each other. They could not believe that the invincible Imperial Navy heavy cruiser in Asia could be attacked by the beggar-like Chinese troops.
"General, please calm down!"
Matsushita Taro displayed his excellent combat skills as a soldier. He immediately calmed Shirakawa Masayoshi down and said,""General, our priority now is to defend and wait for reinforcements. As for the matter of investigating the rumormongers, I suggest we put it aside for now.”
Shirakawa Masayoshi's face was ashen and his expression was ferocious, but he quickly controlled his emotions and calmed down. He ordered,"Order the 3rd division to reinforce the headquarters at all costs. He ordered the nearest air force to take off immediately. No matter what, they had to stop the Chinese people's attack!”
"Ha Yi!"
At the attack position of the Independent Brigade, Li Fugui looked at the watch that was turning minute by minute. His heart was burning with anxiety. The battle plan he had made before the war had stated that he had to take down the Japanese's headquarters building within three hours. Now, two hours had passed.
If they couldn't get it in an hour, the Japanese plane would arrive.
With that, Li Fugui took the lead. He picked up a semi-automatic rifle and rushed out of the command room, but he bumped into Guo Zixu, who rushed over to help.
"Li Fugui, what are you doing? Bringing his brothers to their deaths?”
