Zhang Zhizhong was also slightly moved. With the strength of a mere brigade, he had to face the firepower attacks of two Japanese infantry brigades, as well as armored vehicles, tanks, gunboats and cruisers. If it were five years ago, the 19th Route Army would probably be like this? Could it be that this 19th Route Army really inherited the spirit of the 19th Route Army?

Tong Yuanliang beat the clan hard and said, "Beautiful, beautifully done!"

"Well, it's really beautiful." Zhang Zhizhong said, "Immediately turn on the power to reward."

"Master, do you want to go to Nanjing..." Tong Yuanliang could not continue to speak in half because he had already seen the look of embarrassment between Zhang Zhizhong's eyebrows.

Zhang Zhi was actually sighing at the center. He also felt that the 19th Brigade played well, which was really good. But it would be better to ask for credit from Nanjing for the 19th Brigade. If the old man knew that there was such a unit, it would definitely be a disaster but not a blessing, because Zhang Zhizhong knew very well that although the old man loved talents, he could not tolerate those who had betrayed him.

Tong Yuanliang also sighed softly in his heart, changing the topic: "Master, if the position of Qiujiang Road and Honghe Road Bridge is not lost, the Japanese army in Hongkou will still be in a turtle. Even if the situation is repeated, the Japanese army will not escape the defeat!" After a pause, he said, "The casualties of the 87th Division, which is mainly attacking Yangshupu, are too great. Should we withdraw and rest?"

"No." Zhang Zhizhong refused, "Xia Chuzhong's 98th Division has just arrived and has not yet established its foothold. The 87th Division retreated at this time. If the Japanese army in Yangshupu took advantage of the situation to counterattack, it is likely to cause a tragedy. Let's do this. First, the two security regiments in Jiangsu will be charged into the 87th Division. When the 61st Division arrives tomorrow, one regiment will be drawn to the 87th Division. "

"Yes." Tong Yuan stood at attention with a loud bang, walked to the side and called to convey the order.

Zhang Zhizhong's eyes fell on the map again, and a high genital took the initiative to pick up the red pencil and drew a circle on the map, and said to Zhang Zhizhong: "Look at, Han Xianyuan's regiment should be at most on Qiujiang Road and Honghe Road and Bridge positions for two days. Zhenru's 8th Independent Artillery Regiment can be pulled into Shanghai and cleared the Japanese fortifications at a designated location!

Although the Naval Command Building of Little Japan is strong, it is impossible to block the direct shot of 150mm caliber heavy artillery. Once the Naval Command is captured by our army, it will inevitably cause a great blow to the morale of the Japanese army in Yangshupu. If our army takes advantage of the situation and attacks, we will definitely drive the Japanese army in Shanghai into the Huangpu River in one fell swoop."

"Yes." Zhang Zhizhong nodded and said again, "But we still need to notify the 20th Independent Brigade, the 87th Division and the 88th Division. Regardless of whether the Japanese army in Shanghai still have any remaining strength, they must be motivated to prevent the Japanese army from counterattacking at night, and tell them that if anyone loses the position, he will come to see me with his head."

The Japanese Navy’s Special Marine Corps Headquarters in Shanghai.

"Baga, Bagayalu, Bagayalu!" The Hiroshiki Okawa was walking with his legs, and was walking back and forth in the war room with his hands behind his back, while cursing at the several infantry captains who were standing solemnly.

In just one day, the situation in Shanghai took a sharp turn for the worse, especially the Japanese army in Yangshupu, who were almost at the verge of collapse. As the commander of the Japanese Navy Special Marine Corps in Shanghai, how can I not be angry? How can I not be worried and anxious? Once the Japanese army in Yangshupu collapses, Hongkou will completely become an isolated island!

When he walked to Shigeru Ito, the captain of the 3rd Infantry Brigade, Okawa Uchiki couldn't help but slapped him twice.

"Hayi!" Ito Shigeru suddenly lowered his head, his face full of bitterness. The captain of the 4th Infantry Battalion next to him lowered his head in shame next time. The 3rd Infantry Battalion threw away Baoshan Road and caused the overall collapse. Although it was shameful, his 4th Infantry Battalion was not much better. He attacked for an afternoon and failed to cross Qiujiang Road.

Fortunately, the captain of the 2nd and 6th infantry brigades of Yang Shupu was not here, otherwise they might have been killed by Okawa Nobuki, because the performance of these two brigades made Okawa Nobuki untolerated. Facing a mere security brigade, the two brigades attacked for a whole afternoon but couldn't make it. What was the battle this?

Honda Susoo, deputy military officer of the Japanese Embassy in China, watched coldly, and looked down on Okawa's Uchiki.

The Japanese Army and Navy have never dealt with each other. Both the senior officials and soldiers look down on each other. This is a fact. But what Honda Sustain really looks down on Okawa Uchiki is the other party's poor tactical command ability and indecisiveness. If it were him, Honda Sustain, who was instructed, how could the situation become so passive?

Okawa Uchiki suddenly stood in front of Honda Suspension and asked, "Honda San, when will Okamoto San arrive?"

Honda Susoo rolled his eyes and said angrily: "The nine road bridges on the Hong River have been cut off by the Chinese army. Okamoto San can no longer pass. However, Okamoto San asked me to tell you that he will do everything he can to promote a ceasefire on the 16th and 17th day."

"To promote a two-day ceasefire on the 16th and 17th?" Okawa Uchinobu was overjoyed when he heard this. With two days of buffering time, he could calmly allocate troops and rebuild the defense line. Moreover, more than 1,500 people from the two Marines transferred from Hasegawa from the country were already on the road, and the day after tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, that is, the morning of the 17th.

Broadway Road and Bridge, the 19th National Team 1 Squadron Position.

Since nightfall, the Japanese army on the opposite side has not launched an attack. I don’t know if the troops have been exhausted or whether they are accumulating strength to launch a more fierce offensive.

Even so, the 19th Brigade was not idle either.

At this moment, Xu Shijiu was carrying the remaining four veterans of the 1st Squadron and more than 20 death squadrons to repair fortifications. It was said that it was fortifications, but in fact it was just building sandbags. The fortifications built with sandbags were very fragile and could not even withstand the grenade launchers of the little Japanese, but the veterans of the 19th Brigade were still building them with no harshness.

Xu Shijiu walked to the center of the street and greeted Ergua and said, "Ergua, come here and help."

Ergua rushed over and helped Xu Shijiu lift the heavy sandbag and upstairs. She asked, "Captain, our machine gun nest and scattered bunker are built in the buildings on both sides of the Japanese stragglers that cannot reach the Japanese stragglers. The fortifications here did not work much just now, and they were easily destroyed by the Japanese artillery fire. What's the effort?"

Xu Shijiu stopped the work in his hand and said calmly: "Ergua, do you think these barricades are useless?"

Ergua scratched her head and said embarrassedly: "Captain, I'm just talking nonsense, don't care..."

Xu Shijiu waved his hand and said, "Ergua, you can give me your own opinions. This is very good. It means that you are a soldier who loves to use his brain and has independent insights. But what I want to tell you is that these barricades are absolutely useful."

At this time, except for a few guard sentries, the other veterans surrounded him, including Gao Shenxing.

Xu Shijiu continued: "Let's talk about the 524th Regiment first, and two battalions are filled with them. They are the real Central Army and the German Division, but they only persisted on Qiujiang Road for less than four hours before a Japanese infantry brigade was defeated. If the 88th Division's Guard Battalion had not arrived in time, Qiujiang Road would have been recaptured by the Japanese, and Sichuan North Road would have been reopened by the Japanese.

Besides, our 19th Brigade is considered a reinforcement brigade, with a small number of 600 people, but its equipment is incomparable to the Central Army.

However, our 19th brigade faced the strong attack of at least two Japanese infantry brigades, as well as the firepower attacks of tanks, armored cars, gunboats and even cruisers, but we persisted. What are we relying on?

Is our equipment better than the Central Army? Obviously not. Compared with the Central Army, our equipment is far inferior to that of the Central Army.

Are we better able to fight than the Central Army? No, I don’t know about other Central Army, but the 88th Division is definitely an elite army that dares to fight and fight.

But our 19th Brigade's performance is better than the Central Army. Why?

It is because our 19th Brigade pays more attention to details than the Central Army, and details determine success or failure!

For example, in the nest of light and heavy machine guns, our 19th brigade is always accustomed to building dead corners where the Japanese army's curved firepower cannot reach. Although doing so will affect its own shooting boundary, it still cannot avoid the attack of direct firepower from the Japanese army, but under the existing conditions, it can protect itself to the greatest extent. Only by protecting itself can it kill the enemy to the greatest extent.

For example, these barricades that you think are useless are useless, but when you are not used, it is useless, but when you want to do tactical maneuvers on the street, or when the opponent needs your rescue, it can help you avoid enemy bullets, provide you with necessary cover, and give you more opportunities to survive under the enemy's gun.

For example, why do you need to spend your energy to clean up the rubble behind the barricade? Because at critical moments, these rubbles may trip you up and take your life. Since only some physical strength can eliminate these hidden dangers, it can improve our chances of survival, so why not do it?

Never underestimate these insignificant details, and don’t ignore the benefits brought to you by these details. The benefits brought to you by each detail may be insignificant, but many details will be accumulated and will turn into a considerable number. This is the only reason why our 19th Brigade can persist until now, while the 524th Regiment was almost defeated!"

"Captain, I understand." Ergua said excitedly, "This is what you often tell us. You sweat more often and bleed less during wartime, right?"

"Yes, spend more effort on training and sweat to repair fortifications. When a war starts, you will die less. One fortification may only save one or two people, but ten hundred fortifications combined, we will die dozens or hundreds of people less." Xu Shijiu touched Ergua's head again, and then said, "Also, remember to think more."

"Use your brain?" Ergua asked blankly, "Captain, why are you going to use your brain again?"

Xu Shijiu smiled and said, "Ergua, how do you think these lessons come from?"
