September 15, evening, 8 o'clock, downtown Shanghai, General Headquarters, conference room.

The desk, which was about five meters long, was full of people, all of whom were officers who had come to participate in the Battle of Songhu, and the lowest rank was also a brigade commander, and Commander Zhang sat at the end of the desk and presided over the meeting.

As of 15 September, as of 15 September, as many as 100,000 soldiers had died in the Songhu area, and the little devils had also suffered heavy casualties.

In the area of Baoshan and Luodian, the two sides fought frantically, fighting for every inch of land, these two places, devastated by artillery fire, black smoke did not disperse all day long, and the land was full of black bloodstains, which looked extremely infiltrating.

The blood flows like a river, the corpse mountain and the sea of corpses, using these two idioms to describe it, it is not an exaggeration.

"It's been a month, we've been fighting with the Japanese army in the Shanghai area for a month, and in the past month, the number of our soldiers has been getting smaller and smaller, and the proportion of deaths is getting higher and higher, and we don't know when this battle will end." Commander Zhang paused, looked at the crowd and asked, "What do you guys think about this?" ”

"Hit! Keep playing! Yao Glacier said with a serious expression, "Fighting to this extent, what we fight is toughness, we are sad, and the little devil is not uncomfortable." ”

"I agree, we have to fight." Jin Kui immediately answered, "Didn't the little devil let it go, and he wanted to conquer China in three months?" Lao Tzu let the little devil see if he could conquer the Songhu area in three months. ”

When Yao Bing and Jin Kui spoke, they both gritted their teeth and their eyes were full of anger.

Since the beginning of the battle on August 13, until September 15, the 87th and 88th divisions have been stationed at the forefront of the position, carrying the most fierce artillery fire of the little devils, which has caused more than half of the number of dead and wounded in these two divisions, and the soldiers are exhausted.

Therefore, the hatred of the two for the little devil cannot be expressed in words at all, they just want revenge.

"I agree to fight too!" The commander of the 33rd Division also replied: "Now, we have 700,000 troops in the Songhu area, and it can be said that a quarter of the country's troops are here. ”

"Hit! I also agree to fight! The leader of the Sichuan army, a middle-aged man at the level of a division commander, slapped the table and scolded, "The little devils of the dog day are too fucking arrogant, we must fight a victory to extinguish the prestige of this group of little devils." ”

"I also agree to fight! The people of our Hunan army have no bad seeds! ”

"Must fight! We have the full support of the Guangdong Army. ”

“…………”

Without exception, all the people present have the same opinion, and it is imperative to win this battle!

Both sides have played so far, and it can be said that they have taken out their hole cards, so they must not retreat easily.

If you retreat, it will be a major blow to the morale of the soldiers and to the people.

"It's going to be fought." Commander Zhang was very satisfied with everyone's attitude, nodded and said, "The key is how to fight?" ”

"First, the Japanese army has warships and aircraft carriers, and at sea, we can't win at all, and if we lose the sea area, it means that our weapons and supplies and other important materials will most likely not reach the battlefield in time."

"Second, our air force, under such attrition, is getting weaker and weaker, and our fighters, all imported, rely on foreign support, if one is broken, there will be one less, and there will be no reserves at all."

"Third, the soldiers are physically exhausted and mentally exhausted under the continuous high and high fighting, and if they continue to fight, the casualties will only increase."

After Commander Zhang finished speaking, he paused and continued, "If, I mean, if we lose this battle, or win miserably, then how should we fight against the little devil next?" ”

"You know, the little devil just moved, 200,000 troops, and we have already moved 700,000 troops, even so, our death ratio is far more than the Japanese army, I roughly calculated, about six to one ratio, the six of us can change the life of the little devil alone, if this continues, how to fight?"

The words fell, and the conference room fell silent, and everyone was thinking about Commander Zhang's words.

The navy, land and air force, our navy, and air force do not have an advantage at all, and the army, although there are enough people, cannot make up for the gap in firepower with the little devils.

Do you want to fill it with your life?

Even if the war is won, what if the Japanese army deploys troops to fight again?

But retreating now may cause turmoil in the hearts of the army, what should we do?

Everyone was silent, thinking.

"Just tell me, what does it mean?" Yao Bingbing thought for a while and asked directly, "Is it fighting, is it retreating, you can just say it." ”

"I said, I must fight." Commander Zhang said in a deep voice, "But we must fight moderately, not only to fight our attitude and determination, but also to retain our strength." ”

"What does it mean to have a moderate hit?" Yao Glacier frowned and said, "If you want me to say, the direct fucking is the decisive battle, gather the strength of the whole country, and compete with the Japanese army in Songhu, and directly fuck out of the king bomb!" ”

"Rude! No brains! Commander Zhang glared at Yao Bing and scolded, "Now is not the opportunity to fight a decisive battle at all. ”

"I can tell you clearly that the Air Force will not participate in the next battle, and we will continue to face the joint strikes of the Japanese army, land, and air, so the casualty ratio behind us will only be higher."

"You get straight to the point, don't beat around the bush." Jin Kui rubbed his head, looking irritated.

"Conscription!" Commander Zhang glanced at Jin Kui, knocked on the table and said, "Recruit new recruits to enter, replenish our troops, and train troops while fighting for the Japanese army, so that the whole people can resist Japan together, so that we can have a chance to win." ”

"You mean, let the recruits be cannon fodder?" Yao Bing asked with a frown.

"No cannon fodder." Commander Zhang knocked on the table and said, "Under the bombing of Japanese warships and planes, who is not cannon fodder?" ”

After Commander Zhang finished speaking, he glanced at the crowd, "Do you think it's immoral to do this?" Square peg? Too cruel? ”

Silence, no one answered!

"Have you ever wondered what will happen to ordinary people if we all die in battle and this country is left without anyone to protect it?" Commander Zhang paused at this point, patted the table and said, "They may be more pitiful than dying on the battlefield, understand?" ”

"At the end of the national disaster, no one can be spared, no one can stay out of the, the rise and fall of the country is the responsibility of the husband, everyone has the responsibility and obligation to protect the country."

"Bing, you must be recruited! Forcibly levy it, and you have to ask for it for me! ”

"I'll carry the infamy, I'll do the bad guys, all you need to do is to go to the army!"

"Someday, they'll understand that."

Yao Bingbing, Jin Kui and the others listened to Commander Zhang's words and thought thoughtfully.
