The 22nd Independent Brigade, one unit of the 88th Division, and the 2nd Regiment of the Tax Police Corps, more than 6,000 elite Central Army troops, after receiving the order from Commander-in-Chief Zhang Zhizhong, all strengthened their attacks.

Lin Rui and Zhou Weihan, with the Eighth Company, also came from a street behind the Japanese position.

At that time, there were about a hundred Japanese in front of them, relying on barricades, trenches and nearby houses and buildings, and fiercely exchanged fire with the Central Army that came to attack them.

This area happened to be the sneak attack site that the Eighth Company was originally responsible for. Because the Eighth Company went to the Japanese headquarters, the Japanese here were not attacked from both sides.

This directly led to the attack of their first battalion of the 2nd Regiment of the Tax Police Corps and a strengthening company of the 22nd Independent Brigade. The attack was frustrated and the losses were significant, but it failed repeatedly.

When Lin Rui and Zhou Weihan arrived with the Eighth Company, the attacks of the First Battalion of the Second Regiment of the Tax Police General Regiment and the 22nd Independent Brigade were still in a difficult situation.

The first battalion of the Second Regiment of the Tax Police General Regiment has a total of more than 1,000 people, and the strengthening company of the 22nd Independent Brigade is more than five or six times that of the Japanese army.

The Tax Police Corps is one of the most elite troops. Needless to mention the quality of weapons, equipment and personnel, the 22nd Independent Brigade was born into the Supplementary Brigade of the 2nd Division of the National Government and is also a first-class ace force.

Logically speaking, when the troops are five or six times that of the Japanese army, even if they cannot be out of power, they should make breakthroughs.

However, more than 200 Japanese troops blocked their attacks for a day and night, and the positions remained unmoved.

Among them, there are certainly objective factors such as the Japanese army's tenacious fighting spirit and good training in tactical coordination among various types of troops. The main reason is that these more than 200 Japanese soldiers are equipped with four 17mm rapid-fire cannons, four 7 war defense cannons, and more than a dozen light and heavy machine guns.

With only 200 people, equipped with such a large number of light and heavy weapons, and the complete fortifications built in advance, it is not difficult to block the attacking troops of the Tax Police Corps and other parties.

And this situation was everywhere on the Songhu battlefield at that time.

At that time, although the Japanese army had only three or four thousand troops in Shanghai, they were backed by dozens of ships of large and small, and had a displacement of more than 70,000 tons.

Therefore, all units of the Japanese Marine Corps can obtain light and heavy weapons far exceed the normal equipment, such as light and heavy machine guns, rapid-fire cannons, and artillery of various large and small caliber.

As well as powerful naval artillery firepower and carrier-based aircraft air firepower support, Zhang Zhizhong and Huang Qixiang were the most elite ace troops at that time with 50,000 yuan. They were unable to take it down for half a month of attack. In the end, the Japanese Marine Corps survived until reinforcements arrived, and the war entered a stalemate stage. Three months later, the squadron was defeated and forced to withdraw from Shanghai.

Hundreds of thousands of troops retreated, trampled on each other, and suffered countless casualties, which directly led to the lack of troops in the defense war in Nanjing, and the eternal tragedy of the Chinese nation and the Nanjing Massacre!

Back to the topic, Lin Rui and Zhou Weihan led the officers and soldiers of the Eighth Company to the rear of the Japanese defense line and happened to discover the Japanese artillery position.

Without any hesitation, Lin Rui immediately took out the Mauser pistol, took the lead and rushed over.

The Japanese's troops were already short of strength. With the joint attack of the Tax Police General Regiment and the Independent 22nd Brigade and other departments, almost all of the troops were used to resist the attack.

Therefore, the artillery positions deployed behind the defense line are not protected at all.

Therefore, Lin Rui, Zhou Weihan and others led their troops to advance easily.

The Japanese artillery was still busy firing artillery at that time to provide firepower support to its infantry.

He did not notice that the Eighth Company soldiers were swarming behind him. When some of the Japanese artillery soldiers noticed the abnormality and turned around quickly, Lin Rui raised his hand and shot one by one and shot him.

Zhou Weihan was holding the Czech light machine gun, and even shot in a hurry, da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da

With almost no effort, Lin Rui and Zhou Weihan led their troops to occupy the Japanese artillery positions and did not care about manipulating artillery.

Lin Rui held the pistol and yelled: "Continue attacking with me! Hurry!"

Then, he took the lead and rushed forward.

At that time, gunfire was loud and explosions were happening on the battlefield, and the enemy and us shouted and killed each other, so the Japanese who were fighting fiercely with the offensive troops on the front line did not notice the abnormality behind.

It was not until the yelling of killing from the Eighth Company soldiers came from behind that the Japanese were alarmed and turned around.

But it was too late. Lin Rui and Zhou Weihan and several platoon leaders had already led nearly 100 soldiers from the Tax Police Corps to rush over with murderous intent.

The soldiers fired at the same time, and instantly shot the Japanese from behind and fell down.

Under the assault of the Eighth Company, the Japanese were caught off guard and were quickly killed by nearly a hundred people. Under the enemy from both sides, the defense line was quickly broken through.

Under the 1st Battalion of the 2nd Regiment of the Tax Police General Regiment, the 8th Company of the Independent 22nd Brigade Strengthening Company and Lin Rui, more than 200 Japanese devils were unable to escape and were all killed on the position.

Not long after the battle ended, the Eighth Company soldiers who were responsible for cleaning the battlefield found two seriously injured Japanese soldiers. Lin Rui and Zhou Weihan happened to walk by with Lin Feng and other soldiers.

One of the soldiers was the guard sentry who had stopped Lin Rui at the entrance of the Eighth Company camp. He saluted Lin Rui and asked for instructions: "Company Commander, there are two living Japanese devils here, what should I do?"

Lin Rui glanced at the two dying Japanese soldiers, without answering, and directly pulled out the gun, raised his hand and shot him to death.

Then he took back his pistol and whispered to the soldiers present: "Remember, if you encounter this situation on the battlefield in the future, follow this!"

"Yes!" The officers and soldiers of the Eighth Company present stood up and responded in unison.

Lin Rui then stepped forward and Zhou Weihan hurriedly followed and asked, "Company Commander, I have something unknown."

"Say." Lin Rui said as he walked.

"Before, you were willing to capture the enemy's commander at the Japanese Command. Why were the two Japanese wounded soldiers unwilling to let go just now?" Zhou Weihan saw Lin Rui suddenly stopping and turned to look at him, with a little displeasure in his eyes, and quickly explained: "Don't get me wrong, I'm not sympathizing with the Japanese, but I just don't understand."

After tonight's battle, Lin Rui's performance has completely convinced Zhou Weihan. Now he can only respect Lin Rui and dare not have any slightest intentions.

Lin Rui looked at Zhou Weihan, Lin Feng and others next to him, and said, "The reason is very simple. I was willing to accept the surrender of Yamano Watanabe at that time because he was a major general of the Japanese army. If he captured him alive, it might be more beneficial to our army. This is a decision made for the overall situation.

These two Japanese wounded soldiers wanted them to be prisoners, which would have no benefit except wasting our medical resources.
