Here, Shi Rui kept using the camera to capture the scenes below.
The Japanese Army's fleet bombarded the city in waves, turning buildings into ruins, with panicked citizens running everywhere in the streets.
With the attack progressing.
The Japanese Army's targets also became clearer. Under the cover of heavy firepower, they aimed to cross the Ba Zi Bridge and seize control of this key traffic point.
The Ba Zi Bridge is located at the border of Hongkou and Zhabei.
Although it's merely a bridge over a small trench, it connects the core point of the Shanghai North Railway Station and the Japanese Marine Corps Headquarters.
Once controlled, it can be used as a base to launch a direct assault on Japan's stronghold in Hongkou.
Conversely, if the Japanese Army seized it, it would cut off the southern and northern troops' communication in Shanghai, dividing the entire defense line in two.
This is why the Japanese Army was attacking so fiercely.
After Shi Rui took several photos.
