Scar, alone, Xie Gouzi and Gao Crazy took more than a dozen veterans to walk through the streets and alleys, climbed over the wall and went deep into the Japanese concession to spy on the Japanese concession. As a result, gunfire sounded all night long in the area near the North Railway Station of the Japanese concession.

At 8 a.m. on the 15th, Yang Furui led the 3rd Battalion of the 523rd Regiment to the 19th Brigade station.

"Brother Hanhun." Yang Furui rarely bowed to Xu Shijiu with fists, "I am ordered by the group to lead more than 600 brothers in the camp to come and listen to the Hou's condemnation. Please ask Brother Hanhun to give orders."

Yang Furui also participated in the 128th Shanghai War of Resistance. He knew that the 19th Route Army was a capable army, and the backbone veterans of the 19th Battalion were all veterans of the 19th Route Army. His combat effectiveness should not be underestimated. Xu Shijiu's tactical command ability was even more superb, so he did not have much resistance to Han Xianyuan's orders.

"Brother Fu Rui is polite." Xu Shijiu clasped his fists and said modestly, "It's okay for our 19th Brigade to engage in sneak attacks. When it comes to tough battles, it still depends on the brothers of the Central Army."

Yang Furui said: "Brother Hanhun is humble. In short, the group seat has orders, so I will only follow your leader!"

Xu Shijiu said: "Since it is Brother Xianyuan's military order, I'll be brave enough to overthrow it." After that, Xu Shijiu spread out the results of Scar and the others' hard work overnight, pointing to the map and said, "Brother Fu Rui, please see, last night, I have sent someone to find out the Japanese army's troops deployment and firepower configuration, this is the detailed picture.

In response to the deployment and firepower configuration of the Japanese army, I decided to launch a flat-push attack on the Japanese army from three blocks between Target Road, Xinmin Road, Railway Line and Qiujiang Road. In order to disperse the Japanese army as much as possible, it was exhausted. I hope Brother Fu Rui led his troops to attack from Target Road, Xinmin Road and Qiujiang Road in front."

"No problem." Yang Furui said happily, "Please rest assured Brother Hanhun. Our 3rd Battalion will hold on to the Target Road, Xinmin Road and Qiujiang Road in front of each other, so that it cannot help each other's blocks."

"Okay." Xu Shijiu said again, "Just wait until our troops deviate from the enemy's back through the block, we will launch an attack on the Japanese army at various intersections from the side. At that time, Brother Fu Rui leads his troops to crush them from the front, and the Japanese army will be defeated by the enemy from both sides. In this way, the defense chain of the Japanese army in Shanghai will also be opened by our army."

Yang Furui stood attentively and said solemnly: "Brother Hanhun, don't worry, you are the commander in this battle. Without your command, my camp will never make any progress. If you command, my camp will definitely move forward bravely until death!"

Xu Shijiu also stood at attention and gave Yang Furui a standard military salute.

Located in the middle of the public concession, the Huamao Hotel, next to the Bund, is ten floors high, and the main tower is as high as thirteen floors.

Huamao Hotel was built by the wealthy Jewish businessman Victor Sassoon. The ground floor of the building is a bank and a service area. The second to fourth floors are rented to foreign banks for offices. The fifth to seventh floors are guest rooms. The eighth floor is a large restaurant, bar, and the nineth floor is a nightclub. The top floor is Victor's private mansion, with luxurious decoration and different styles. It can be said to be the veritable first floor of the Far East.

At this moment, a large group of blue-eyed and tall-nose Westerners were standing on the rooftop of the tower, holding a telescope or holding an iron railing to look towards Suzhou Hebei.

Among this group of Westerners, there are a few special characters.

One is Fei Xindun, the president of the Public Concession Bureau, the other is Bogmonov, the Soviet ambassador to China, and the other is Stilwell, the chief of staff of the Chinese theater who later angrily scolded Chairman Chiang as peanuts. However, Stilwell was still a military officer at the US Embassy in China, and his military rank was only a colonel.

In addition, there were many Western journalists present, such as Galder, the famous editor of the Damei Evening News, who was later brutal persecuted by the Japanese army for sympathizing with China's war of resistance and eventually died of illness in the concentration camp, and Snow, the first American journalist who interviewed the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Border Region and had just returned to Shanghai from Yan'an.

At 8 o'clock in the morning, dozens of Japanese warships anchored on the Huangpu River began to shell Zhabei.

Under the dark sky, dazzling rainbows rose from the Japanese warships, and in an instant they crossed the sky and fell into Zhabei District, Hebei, Suzhou. Amid the earth-shaking explosion, thick smoke quickly rose from Zhabei District, and a large number of shanty towns burned and caught fire. From a distance, it seemed that the faint crying of the Chinese people could be heard.

"Oh, God, my God." American war correspondent Snow murmured, and said with a deep pain, "Japanese warships are bombarding Zhabei again. Today I don't know how many houses will be destroyed by artillery fire, and I don't know how many refugees will pour into the public concession. Mr. Fei Xindun, are you ready to shelter refugees?"

"Oh no no no no, the shelter of refugees is something the Shanghai Municipal Government of China is considering." Fei Xindun shrugged, his face covered with old-spots was full of cunning. "Our Ministry of Industry and Technology promised to relax the public concessions and allow refugees from Zhabei and Japanese concessions to enter the French concessions or the Nanshi through the public concessions, which is already kind enough."

Miller's Review Editor Powell said: "Mr. Fei Xindun, from a humanitarian standpoint, I'm afraid that your Concession Department will also consider hosting some refugees."

"This is impossible," yelled Feynn. "Mr. Powell, I have no intention of arguing with you, but do you know how many refugees will be stranded in the public concession once the Concession Department lifts restrictions?"

After attracting the attention of most people, Fei Xindun continued in an exaggerated tone: "There are more than two million Chinese people living in the area north of the Suzhou River. So many people flock to the public concession will be a huge disaster!"

Powell said: "Unless the Chinese army is defeated, all Chinese talents in Suzhou and Hebei may flee. Mr. Fei Xindun, do you think the Chinese army will definitely lose this war?"

"That's certainly." Fei Xindun said, "Yesterday, the Chinese army lost nearly 3,000 people, while the Japanese army suffered minimal casualties. Moreover, the Japanese government cannot give up Shanghai. It will definitely continue to increase troops to Shanghai next. Frankly speaking, I don't think the Chinese army still has a chance to win this war."

Bogmonov, who had been looking at the north bank of the Suzhou River with his telescope, couldn't help but look back and said, "Mr. Fei Xindun, please be honest. If it weren't for your Concession's Work Department and the consuls of Britain and France that put pressure on the Chinese government and forced the Chinese army to postpone the attack for two days, the situation would definitely not be like this."

Stilwell also echoed: "I agree with Ambassador Bogmonov's opinion. It is no exaggeration to say that Chinese soldiers are the best soldiers I have ever met. If it weren't for their low-quality officers and the supreme leader who likes to intervene in command randomly, they had already achieved a decisive victory four days ago."

Fei Xindun looked embarrassed and shrugged his shoulders and said, "I am very sorry for the result of this, but what I want to say to you is that we were originally very sincere in decisively declaring Shanghai as an unprepared free port. It was the Japanese who spoke without trust and played with everyone. This really has nothing to do with our Ministry of Industry."

Stilwell said: "You don't need to regret it, the national army has not lost yet."

Bogmonov also said: "I also think the Chinese army will not be at this level. The reason why the Kuomintang army suffered a loss yesterday was because the tactics were unreasonable. If we fight again today, the situation will definitely change."

Before he finished speaking, a British reporter suddenly screamed: "Oh, God, what's going on? Why did the Chinese army climb to the roof?"

Hum?! Stilwell and Bogmonov turned around at the same time, and raised the telescope at the same time. Through the telescope, they saw that the Chinese army in Suzhou and Hebei had climbed up the roof along the bamboo ladder, and then laid a large number of bamboo ladders on the roofs of alleys and on the roofs of houses of varying heights. The blocks instantly turned into smooth roads.

In this way, the strong fortifications arranged by the Japanese army at various intersections suddenly became decorations. The originally complete and the strict Japanese fortification chain also became full of loopholes in the blink of an eye. The disadvantages of the Japanese army's military strength will be infinitely amplified. It can be foreseen that in the next battle, the Japanese army will definitely lose sight of one thing.

"Great!" Stilwell couldn't help but exclaim, "Genius! It's a staircase on the alley and roof as a passage. Although this method is simple and not worth mentioning, it is a fatal blow to the Japanese army with insufficient troops. The one who can come up with this idea must be a tactical genius. I must know him if I have the chance!"

############

Yang Furui Camp has been launched on Qi Zi Road, Xinmin Road, Railway Line and Qiujiang Road, and has fully engaged in fire with the Japanese army.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the 19th Brigade divided into three groups, using hundreds of bamboo ladders to fly over the wall, climbed over the wall and crossed the courtyard, and headed straight from west to east to Baochang Road and Fusheng Road. Xu Shijiu personally led a suicide squad composed of more than a dozen veterans to be the vanguard on the right. In just a moment, he had crossed more than half a block, and less than fifty meters further was Fusheng Road.

But at this moment, several Japanese soldiers occupied a villa and blocked their way.

Xu Shijiu shrank behind the roof of a three-story house and made a gesture to Xie Gouzi behind him.

Xie Gouzi, Gao Shenxing understood and immediately spread out to the left and right. After each looking for cover, Xie Gouzi took down four grenades and spread them in front of his eyes, then turned the caps one by one. Gao Shenxing opened the Hanyang-made gun chamber in his hand, first filled the gun chamber with only two bullets, and then closed the gun chamber again.

When Xie Gouzi was ready, Gao Shenxing suddenly jumped from behind the roof, stepped on the tiles and ran forward with a rush. The Japanese machine guns that were ambushing on the roof of the villa in front opened fire violently. The machine gun bullets dragged out a long belt of smoke and dust on the tiles, almost biting Xu Shijiu's heel and chasing forward.

This is Xu Shijiu's tactical feint, in order to create opportunities for Gao Shenxing and Xie Gouzi.

The next moment, Gao Shenxing suddenly sat up from behind the roof. Almost while sitting up, the Hanyang sank in his hand was aimed at the Japanese machine gunner in the window on the opposite roof. The next moment, the scorching bullets rotated and shot into the Japanese machine gunner's eyebrows at high speed, and immediately punched his head and the steel helmet.

The roar of the Type 92 heavy machine gun stopped abruptly, like a pheasant screaming and being cut off by its neck.

The Japanese deputy archer was about to push away the dead archer. When he stepped forward and shot again, Gao Shenxing's second bullet followed one after another and shot accurately into the eyebrows of the Japanese deputy archer. The Japanese deputy archer did not wear a steel helmet, and the red and white brains and shattered bones immediately splashed out from behind the head in a radial shape, covering a wall.

Gao Shenxing's gun was too fast and his marksmanship was too accurate. When several Japanese individual soldiers hiding on the rooftop of the villa reacted, all the Japanese heavy machine gun shooters and deputy shooters had been killed. Fortunately, the ammunition player was smart and flashed to the window sideways, and he almost avoided the third bullet fired by Gao Shenxing.
