Liang Xiao was thinking about the battle plan for this attack.

After a while, he asked Chen Hua: "Have the tanks and armored vehicles been repaired?"

"The two captured tanks have been repaired. The parts of the armored vehicles are too damaged. The repair experts sent by the armored regiment are working overtime to repair them."

Chen Hua replied.

"Urge them to repair the armored vehicles as soon as possible, and let the guards dye the tanks and armored vehicles with camouflage and the national emblem of the blue sky and white sun. I will use the captured tanks to deal with the Japanese army, and let them taste the iron king."

Liang Xiao laughed and said.

"Yes."

A trace of obsession flashed across Chen Huamei's eyes. She thought Liang Xiao was very good at intelligence before, but now she knows that he is also very good at fighting.

.........Before Dawn.

The units of the Special Operations Brigade received an emergency combat order, entered the position, and replaced the guard battalion and machine gun battalion.

Liang Xiao summoned all the officers above the company level of the First Special Operations Regiment to the headquarters and issued a combat order.

This battle plan is just two words, attack.

With the Bazibabaqiao troops as the vanguard, they took the lead in attacking the position of the Japanese Ninth Mixed Brigade, followed by the Patriotic Girls' School and the troops at Sandaoxiangkou. Of course, these two places are The purpose of the feint attack was to hold back the Japanese army and prevent them from getting reinforcements.

After the order was issued, each department went to the logistics department of the Special Operations Regiment to collect ammunition, and launched an attack on the Japanese position on time at 6:[-]:[-] in the morning.

In order to cooperate with this military attack, Liang Xiao sent out the guards' special agent team and asked them to sneak into the Ninth Mixed Command Headquarters after the battle started and destroy the command center of the Ninth Mixed Brigade, so as to cooperate with the frontal forces to quickly take down the Japanese army. position.

Six o'clock: 6: , the sky is just getting brighter.

There was a drizzle of rain in the sky.

The entire Second Battalion of the Special Operations Brigade at Bazi Babaqiao, the whole battalion has 1000 and two hundred people, and is ready to go. The head of the regiment, Sun Bing, personally deployed the combat plan, with a platoon of troops as the vanguard, armed with 98 sniper rifles, light machine guns, and submachine guns. , launched an attack on the Japanese positions, supported them with a company of troops, and he led a company of troops to follow behind.

Boom boom boom...mortar shells bombarded the Japanese positions.

Under the cover of artillery fire, the vanguard of the Second Battalion charged towards the Japanese positions.

The artillery positions of the Japanese army were destroyed, and all the artillery pieces were blown to pieces. Facing the attack of the Chinese army, they couldn't even take out a decent artillery. They could only watch helplessly as the Chinese army gradually approached their positions.

Da da da.

On the battlefield, gunshots rang out.

The vanguard troops braved the hail of bullets and advanced steadily with the three-three system tactic. Because they were fighting in the urban area of ​​Shanghai, a large-scale combat group was useless, and a combat squad of three people could just exert its maximum combat effectiveness. .

As the advance of the vanguard, Wang Sanleng followed with the mortars. After advancing 300 meters, he immediately ordered the artillery to load ammunition, and launched artillery cover to the Japanese positions to cover the vanguard to seize the Japanese positions.

At this moment, the Japanese army's position was completely exposed to the artillery fire of the Chinese army. When a round of artillery shells passed, smoke and dust could be seen flying from the Japanese army's position, and the simple fortifications they built were destroyed one after another by the artillery fire.

Under the cover of artillery fire, the vanguard rushed to the Japanese positions, using submachine guns as a firepower output net, and quickly wiped out the Japanese troops on the positions.

After taking down the Japanese positions, Sun Bing led a large force to rush forward. The situation on the battlefield was very favorable to the Chinese army. After losing their positions, the Japanese troops alternately covered and retreated. Pressing and retreating the Japanese army.

Ninth Mixed Brigade, headquarters.

The eagle on the small island roared angrily. The damn Chinese army, taking advantage of the destruction of his artillery position, launched an attack on him. The troops on the position were about to collapse at the first touch. They have retreated to the vicinity of the cotton mill, less than one kilometer away from the headquarters.

"Order the third brigade to move out, hold on, hold on."

"Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, the artillery fire of the Chinese army is very fierce, and its vanguard has already attacked the cotton mill, less than one kilometer away from the headquarters. Please retreat quickly, or it will be too late."

A fat-headed staff officer said.

"Baga Yalu, order the third battalion to attack quickly to withstand the offensive of the Chinese army."

Xiaodao Xiongying was unwilling to retreat like this. He fought all the way from the Jiangwan headquarters. Thousands of imperial soldiers shed blood on the battlefield. For those imperial warriors who died heroically for the empire, he would never You can't go back, and further back is... the Jiangwan Dispatch Army Command.

"The head of the brigade, the [-]rd Battalion and the [-]st Battalion are all held back by the Chinese army. If they are allowed to come over for reinforcements, the Chinese army will take the opportunity to occupy their positions."

"Baga, the middle position of Bazibabaqiao was broken through, Sandaoxiangkou and the Patriotic Girls' School were completely exposed to the artillery fire of the Chinese army, if they did not withdraw their positions, the Chinese army at Bazibabaqiao would turn around Surround them, the Ninth Brigade will face the danger of annihilation, you know, idiot"

The small island eagle roars.

"Hi."

The staff officer hurriedly lowered his head.

"Don't hurry up and send an order to have the Third Battalion and the First Battalion all withdraw from their positions and build a position near the cotton mill to resist the attack of the Chinese army."

The small island eagle roared.

"Hi."

The staff officer hastily turned around and walked out of the headquarters.

However, as soon as the fat-headed and big-eared staff officer arrived at the door, he let out a deep roar, and saw him fall straight down. Xiaodao Xiongying thought he was going crazy, and when he walked over to take a look, his face was shocked. Bloodless, there is a finger-thick blood hole between the eyebrows of the fat-headed and big-eared staff officer. Obviously, he was killed by a rifle equipped with a silencer.

"Come on."

How could Xiaodao Xiongying not understand that the Chinese army had infiltrated into his headquarters, and hurriedly shouted to the outside.

Chapter 493 Killing One Thousand Enemies, Losing Eight Hundred

Two Japanese-made cantaloupe grenades were thrown in from the command post.

Xiaodao Xiongying fixed his eyes and was shocked: "Lie down."

In an instant, the headquarters of the Ninth Brigade exploded with a bang, and all the staff members in the headquarters were killed, and Xiaodao Xiongying was knocked unconscious by Xiang on the spot.

Immediately afterwards, two more grenades were thrown in from the outside, just in front of Xiaodao Xiongying, and there were two boom bangs, and Xiaodao Xiongying, who had fainted, was immediately blown faceless and completely dead.

Once Xiaodao Yingying died, the Ninth Brigade could not receive orders from the headquarters, so it did not resist, and retreated all the way, retreating from the cotton mill to the Jiangwan Japanese Army Headquarters.

The vanguard of the Second Battalion pursued to the Japanese headquarters, quickly cleared the remnants outside the headquarters, stopped the pursuit, and built fortifications around the cotton mill.

The command center of the Ninth Mixed Brigade was destroyed, but there were still thousands of Japanese troops at Sandaoxiangkou and the Patriotic Girls' School.

Liang Xiao immediately ordered that the Second Battalion be divided into two, and attack from the Japanese flank of Sandaoxiangkou and the Patriotic Girls' School, forming a pincer attack with the frontal troops, and completely wiped out the remnants of the Ninth Brigade.

Right now, the situation on the battlefield has completely turned to the Chinese army, and the Japanese army at Sandaoxiangkou and the Patriotic Girls' School is already a turtle in the urn, and it is impossible to escape.

After Liang Xiao took control of the battle situation, he led the guards to the headquarters of the Ninth Mixed Brigade.

The headquarters of the Ninth Brigade was taken over by the soldiers of the Second Battalion. There was a row of corpses of officers lying across the door. One of them was charred and black. The collar badge is intact, and it is impressively the rank of Colonel.

According to the military rank system of the Japanese army, the general rank of brigade commander is major general, and there are very few brigade commanders with the rank of major, while the brigade commander of mixed brigades is major general or major commander.

Among the corpses, the rank of the chief was the highest, followed by the majors, captains, lieutenants and other officers. After this net, all the big fish and small shrimps of the [-]th mixed brigade were killed, and no one slipped through the net.

Liang Xiao walked over to pick up the commander's saber next to the chief's body, unfortunately, it's just an officer's saber, it would be great if it was a general's saber.

He handed the Zuoguan knife to the soldiers of the guards, and said: "Give this knife to Commander Song Xilian of the 36th Division, and say that our troops have captured the position of the Ninth Mixed Brigade, and ask the 36th Division to launch a counterattack against the Japanese army's position. In order to support our troops to attack the Japanese Jiangwan Command."

"Yes."

The soldier took the Zuoguan knife and hurriedly sent it to the 36th Division.

At this moment, intense gunshots were heard from Sandaoxiangkou and Patriotic Girls' School. Judging from the intensity of the gunshots, it should be caused by large-scale fighting.

Liang Xiao wasn't worried about the war at all. The brigade had an overwhelming advantage that the Japanese army couldn't match in terms of strength or artillery fire. There was no suspense in this battle, and it was bound to end with Telly. He had strong confidence in it.

"General, why don't we take advantage of the victory to pursue it? It is only seven or eight kilometers from the cotton mill to Jiangbu, and there is no danger on this road to defend. If we send troops at this time, we will definitely take down the Japanese Jiangwan headquarters and turn the tide of the war in Shanghai." .”

Chen Hua was very excited. From the beginning of the battle until now, the central front has been making too much progress, causing the two flanks to fall into a passive situation. If the central front breaks through at this time, it will inevitably reverse the situation of the entire Songhu battle.

Of course Liang Xiao has his own considerations.

Although it is only seven or eight,, kilometers from the cotton mill to the Jiangwan Headquarters, the terrain of the Jiangwan Headquarters is complicated, and there are military police and remnants of the retreated Ninth Mixed Brigade, at least three to 4000 people,,, and, the 36th Division On the opposite side of the 98th Division, there are two main Japanese regiments. If they abandon their positions and return to the Jiangwan Command, it will definitely be a fierce battle.

War is actually...doing business, using the smallest price to exchange for the greatest benefit, in order to become the ultimate winner.

Judging from the current situation, it is not appropriate to attack the Japanese Jiangwan Command.

First of all, he wanted to wipe out all the remnants of the Ninth Mixed Brigade, gather all the forces, and help the 36th and 98th Divisions eliminate the Japanese troops facing them, and then unite their troops and advance towards the Japanese Jiangwan Command. safest strategy.

"After this battle, the situation of the Shanghai war will be greatly changed. Our special warfare brigade has already suffered a lot in this battle. If we attack the Japanese Jiangwan headquarters alone, we will inevitably encounter desperate resistance from the Japanese army, and we will lose a lot at that time." Incalculable."

Liang Xiao said slowly.

Chen Hua understood what he meant, he didn't want to risk the lives of the soldiers of the Special Operations Brigade.

"Traveler, Commander Sun sent someone to ask for instructions, asking if you want to take prisoners"

A major combat staff officer hurried over to ask for instructions.

"want."

Of course Liang Xiao will be captured, but he will not abide by the so-called Geneva Convention, the Japanese prisoners who fall into his hands will not enjoy humanitarian treatment.

"What happened to the war"

Chen Hua asked the combat staff officer.

"The battle went smoothly. The positions of the Japanese army at Sandaoxiangkou and the Patriotic Girls' School have been attacked by our army. Most of the Japanese army has been wiped out, and a small group of Japanese troops are fleeing."

Combat staff officer said.

Liang Xiao smiled slightly, as expected, within two hours, the Patriotic Girls' School and the Japanese army at the entrance of Sandao Lane were defeated.

"Order the machine gun battalion to block the route of the Japanese army's escape, and order them to lay down their weapons and surrender. If they refuse to surrender, they will be shot to death."

Liang Xiao said coldly.

"Yes."

The combat staff hurriedly went back to deliver orders.

"General, is it time to send a good news to Nanjing?"

A smile flashed across Chen Huamei's eyes.

"The good news is sure to be released. The high command urgently needs an exciting victory to inspire the front-line soldiers. Our special warfare brigade defeated the enemy's Ninth Mixed Brigade on the frontal battlefield, which can just play a role in encouraging the soldiers."

Liang Xiao could imagine how stunned the big bosses of the Military and Political Council were when the news of his success spread to Nanjing. In the past, the big bosses often said that he was a special agent general. Let them keep their eyes wide open this time. The special agent general can also defeat the Japanese army on the frontal battlefield and reverse the unfavorable situation for the national army.

After half an hour.

The gunfire slowly stopped.

Except for a small group of Japanese troops fleeing, the rest of the Japanese troops were all wiped out or captured.

In this battle, more than 200 Japanese soldiers were wiped out, more than 100 were captured, more than 1000 were seriously injured, and more than [-] people fled.

Since ancient times, there has been a saying that if you kill one thousand enemies, you will harm yourself by eight hundred.

Even though the Special Operations Brigade had the upper hand in this battle, the number of casualties was as high as: more than 300 people, more than 400 people were slightly injured, and more than 100 people were seriously injured.

In this battle alone, the Special Forces First Regiment severely reduced its staff by a quarter, which made Liang Xiao's heart ache.

However, the results were very brilliant, at least........ wiped out most of the troops of the Ninth Mixed Brigade, and seized various weapons... a lot.

This time he didn't give it away generously. Although these...... Japanese weapons are not as good as German weapons, it is still possible to keep the equipment for the Loyalty and National Salvation Army. After all, the Loyalty and National Salvation Army takes The most important thing is that the Chinese army is far behind the Japanese army in terms of weapons.

Chapter 494 Never Take the Lead

Nanjing.

Military Council.

The committee member looked sad, and the battle in Songhu entered a fierce stage. Matsui Iwane led the main force of the two divisions to land and fight with the assistance of sea and air artillery fire. In just a few days, the national army suffered heavy casualties, and the positions were frequently lost. Large-scale occupation of Shanghai is only a matter of time.

On the one hand, he hoped that the German armed forces fighting in Shanghai would open up the situation and drive the Japanese troops in Shanghai into the sea. On the other hand, he hoped that the national army could support the Songhu battlefield for a few more days, so as to buy some time for the League of Nations to mediate.

But judging from the current battle situation, it is impossible to rely on German weapons to open the situation. The most elite 87th and 88th German weaponry divisions suffered heavy casualties and have been withdrawn to the rear for rest. Without losing ground, it is not easy to turn the tide of battle.

"Appointment, the special warfare brigade is calling."

A staff officer came in with a telegram.

The committee member was still very concerned about the battle report of the special warfare brigade. He leaned back on the chair, unbuttoned his tunic, and said, "Read."

"At 4:[-] p.m. this afternoon, our department wiped out most of the enemy's Ninth Mixed Brigade, wiped out more than [-] enemies, captured more than [-] people, and seized various ordnance and materials. At present, our department is looking for fighters and won them all in one go. Jiangwan Japanese Army Headquarters, please wait for the good news, principal."

The staff officer read.

The committee member looked surprised and said anxiously: "Repeat."

The aide and staff officer repeated the telegram.

The commissioner confirmed that he heard correctly. The Special Operations Brigade wiped out more than [-] people from the Ninth Mixed Brigade, captured more than [-] people, and seized various military supplies.

"Quickly, connect to the Special Warfare Brigade, I want to talk to Liang Feiyu myself."
