Chapter 867: Causeway Mountain (Ask for Subscription!) ）

On the eighth day of the seventh lunar month in the twenty-sixth year of the Republic of China, on the thirteenth day of August in the Gregorian calendar, Luodian, light rain.

The tense confrontation has been going on for more than a month, and a large number of Chinese troops can be seen passing through Luodian and heading towards Songhu every day, but no artillery fire has been heard. On this day, the sound of gunfire suddenly became louder, and then it became more intense, which shows that both sides have been unable to bear it, and the war has finally started at home.

Judging from the direction from which the gunfire came, the area of the battle between the two sides has not yet expanded to the entire urban area, and there is no threat to Luodian for the time being.

The only fortunate thing is that this war was the first to be started by our Chinese army in order to seize the opportunity of the war, hoping to eliminate the Japanese soldiers stationed in Shanghai before the reinforcements of the little devils arrived. I hope that this General Zhang can reverse the decline and win this battle

On the 10th day of the seventh lunar month in the 26th year of the Republic of China, on the 15th day of August in the Gregorian calendar, Zhabei was in light rain.

Affected by the war situation, the old man decided to close all the businesses in the city and sell all the shops that could be sold, and at the same time, in order to find out the current situation, I decided to take the guards into the city.

The situation in the city was very chaotic, there were running soldiers everywhere, there were fires in many places in the city, shells were flying everywhere, and from time to time houses were blown up.

There was bad news from the second uncle's side, the little devil had already announced the formation of the Tianhai Dispatch Army, with General Matsui Ishine as the commander, leading the troops of two divisions to Tianhai for reinforcements to further expand the war of aggression against China.

And after the reinforcements of the little devils landed in the rear of the Chinese army, our side was no longer able to eliminate the little devils on the land. Fortunately, the Nationalist Government has no intention of retreating, and seems to be fighting to the death with the little devils here. And the countries behind the foreign concessions also seem to be reluctant to start a war between the two countries in the Tianhai. It is very likely to cause the intervention of the great powers, and it is possible to win a glorious peace with the mediation of foreign countries. In turn, the ambitions of the Japanese people for North China were thwarted, which was extremely advantageous for the relatively weak China.

The 20th day of the eighth lunar month in the 26th year of the Republic of China. On September 25 of the Gregorian calendar, Luodian, light rain.

The battle is getting more and more intense, and it is getting closer and closer to Luodian, and two days ago, the little devil finally eliminated the defenders of Luodian and occupied this important military place. Although Luo Dian was lost, it was not to blame those soldier brothers, they had done a good job. Until the final sacrifice, they fought bravely and tenaciously. Until the last man in the battle, sad and lamentable!

A large number of reinforcements are under the command of General Luo Zhuoying, launching a counterattack against the enemy who landed in Baoshan and Chuanshakou, and the heroic brothers of the 98th Division repelled the little devils who captured the Lion Forest yesterday and annihilated thousands of enemies. Since yesterday, Luodian has been constantly shelling, and the sound of fighting can be heard clearly, and several times I have seen the planes of our Chinese army flying over the landing point to bomb the positions of the little devils.

Good news came this morning. After several days of fierce fighting, the 11th Division finally recaptured Luodian.

However, the Japanese army was unwilling to be defeated, and mobilized tanks, planes and heavy artillery to counterattack, and started a tug-of-war around Luodian and the two sides, and the defenders' positions changed hands several times. The Japanese army first concentrated its main forces and stormed the position of the left flank army that was holding Luodian. By the night of the 24th, the Japanese army continued to charge with two divisions, and the defenders' 159th and 160th divisions were all killed.

The headquarters of the commander of the 3rd Theater of Operations in view of the fact that the Japanese army has the tendency to break the left flank army with its main force on both sides of the Baoliu Highway. In order to preserve strength, it will wear down the enemy for a long time. He ordered all units of the Left Wing Army to move to the second line of defense one by one, and to attack the Japanese army. At this time. Seeing that his attempt to break through from the flank and encircle the Chinese army could not be realized, Matsui decided to change the division and encirclement to a central breakthrough and concentrate his forces to attack the Fuzahama line. The bloody battle lasted until the 29th, and Luodian fell into the hands of the enemy again

September 20 of the 26th lunar calendar of the Republic of China, October 25 of the Gregorian calendar, Luodian, light rain.

Since the fall of Luodian, bad news has been frequent. The Japanese army first approached the Zhentai Highway with heavy troops and threatened the left flank of Dachang. Zhu Yaohua of the 18th Division, Liu Yuqing of the 26th Division, and Huang Wei of the 67th Division of our army resisted the Japanese offensive after hard resistance. Due to the prominent location of the temple line and the large field, it became a thorn in the side of the Japanese army, and the Japanese army mobilized all kinds of artillery and aircraft to bombard it fiercely, and the radius was several miles, and it was almost scorched earth. The Japanese army then took more than 40 combat vehicles as the lead to cover the infantry to seize Hujia Bridge, Tahe Bridge, Zoumatang and other positions. In order to preserve their strength, the defenders moved to the southern flank and lost a large field.

The big field was lost across the board, and the Seckert line was actually breached. The Third Theater had no choice but to make the move of abandoning the North Station-Jiangwan position.

Subsequently, the 10th Army was secretly formed by Wamoto, under the command of Yanagawa Heisuke, and suddenly landed at Caojing Town, Quangong Pavilion, Jinsiniang Bridge and other places near Jinshanwei in Hangzhou Bay, escorted by the fleet, and outflanked the southern part of the Chinese army's defense line in Songhu.

However, the Chinese side always believed that the Japanese army would attack the front of Shanghai with all its might, and there would be no possibility of landing from Hangzhou Bay, so when the battle became fierce and the source of troops was exhausted, the troops defending Hangzhou Bay were thrown into the front battlefield one by one, and by the time the Japanese army landed, there were only two infantry companies and a few local armed defenses on the coastline of several tens of kilometers long on the north shore of Hangzhou Bay from Quangongting to Zhapu, and they were quickly defeated by the Japanese army.

After learning the news of the Japanese army's landing in Jinshanwei, he immediately ordered Chen Cheng, the former enemy commander of the Songhu battlefield, to deal with the situation, Chen Cheng urgently ordered the 67th Army of Wu Keren of the Northeast Army of the Right Wing Army to reinforce Songjiang, but failed to retreat to the enemy, and the Nationalist Government ordered a comprehensive retreat, and all the troops withdrew from the Tianhai battle, and retreated to Nanjing, Suzhou, and the area west of Jiaxing in two ways.

From 9 November, the Japanese army repelled the scattered resistance of the Chinese army and occupied Hongqiao Airport, Longhua, Fengjing, and Qingpu. On the 11th, the Japanese army advanced to the bank of the Suzhou Creek, and the troops in Nanshi and Pudong were ordered to withdraw from their positions. On the same day, Yu Hongjun, the mayor of Tianhai, issued a letter to the citizens, sadly announcing the fall of Tianhai, the largest metropolis in the Far East

On the 10th day of the 10th lunar month of the 26th lunar calendar of the Republic of China, on the 15th day of November in the Gregorian calendar, Luodian, sunny.

The Great Heavenly Sea eventually fell, which was both expected and unexpected. It is expected that because of the huge disparity in the national and military strength of the two countries, the defeat is also reasonable. What is unexpected is that the nine countries, which have huge interests in the Far East, did not come forward to mediate, but instead claimed that our Chinese army had taken the initiative to provoke a war in the Tianhai demilitarized zone to undermine peace, and ignored China's reasonable demands.

This is completely bandit logic, Tianhai is my territory in China, how can I provoke a war?

However, the Western powers have always been like this, and it is okay not to mention it.

After the little devils captured Tianhai, the former largest city in the Far East was in shambles, and the little devils arrested and killed people in various names, and the people who were robbed of their property were lucky, and countless people were killed. My Huang family has a great cause and a great homeland, and I don't know when it will suffer.

I heard that my unpromising second uncle became a traitor after the little devil entered the city, and he really lost the face of the old Huang family, but what can I do but hide in the countryside and not interact with him.

On the 10th day of the 11th lunar month of the 26th year of the Republic of China, on the 15th day of December in the Gregorian calendar, Luodian, yin.

I finally escaped from that hell of living death, and it has been twenty-eight days since I was caught, and every day is like a year. My brain is probably broken, and I am riddled with nightmares every day, as if those unjust souls are crying to me, and while the disease is still under control, the tragic history will be recorded in history, and left for future generations to seek revenge on that little devil.

I was joined by tens of thousands of people, all of whom were being held as mules and horses in a huge cave on Causeway Mountain, which was full of devil soldiers. Due to the small space and lack of food, coupled with the cold weather, people die of suffocation or starvation every day, and the tragic situation is indescribable.

All men were forcibly expelled from their work every day, and the slightest neglect was punished with flogging, bayonets or gunfire for resistance. In just over 20 days, I have seen more than 100 cases with my own eyes, and huge piles of dead bodies outside the cave are piled up on the spot to intimidate everyone

In the end, it was my traitor uncle who stepped forward, and I was released after a nervous breakdown, which is both a blessing and a shame for me (to be continued......
