Beginning on 14 August, Japanese planes began to attack Nanjing, and the military academy was also shot, and the Chinese air force and ground air defense units fought back, shooting down three Japanese planes and seriously damaging two.

Subsequently, the Japanese planes carried out retaliatory bombing, and the three dogs were ordered to evacuate to the suburbs of Nanjing to camp and continue their studies and field exercises, and the school was actively preparing to move the school west to Sichuan.

Sangou and Yang Muhua exchanged the last letter at the military academy, making sure that the other party was not injured in the air raid, Sangou was going to graduate early, and told Yang Muhua the number of his unit, and he could continue to communicate in the future.

Yang Muhua still has a year to graduate, and their military medical school is also preparing to move to Guangzhou, and the two cherish each other and reunite after the war.

……

At this time, two battlefields were being fought in the country at the same time, and when the Songhu War began, the 13th Army of Nankou in the north began on August 16 and entered a more fierce resistance battle.

When Liangzi's 89th Division was unable to support them, the 94th Division came over with reinforcements and occupied positions along the Great Wall line near Shixia, giving the 13th Army a sigh of relief.

Unexpectedly, the next day, on August 17, the elite 5th Division of the Japanese army occupied the highest peak on the defense line of the Great Wall. Subsequently, the main forces of the Japanese army were successively deployed between the towns and border cities to launch attacks on the Chinese army.

On the 18th, Yan Shizhang's 35th Army, under the leadership of General Fu Zuoyi, reinforced the Huailai and Xiahuayuan areas to strengthen the defense of the Nankou area.

On the 19th, the 14th Group Army under General Wei Lihuang quickly concentrated in the vicinity of Zhoukoudian through Yixian and Laishui to reinforce the Nankou and Huailai areas.

On the 20th, the 35th Army counterattacked the Japanese army attacking the Nankou area, and the Japanese Chinese garrison sent the 6th Division and the 20th Division into the mountainous area northwest of Liangxiang to attack the Nationalist army guarding the Han Line and its western flank.

At this point in the war, the Japanese army used about 70,000 troops, which exceeded the strength of the national army by more than 60,000 people, but the national army was still not afraid of the strong enemy and fought bravely.

More than 100,000 troops fought fiercely until the 27th, and the Nationalist army suffered heavy casualties under the attack of Japanese aircraft and artillery, but still occupied the favorable terrain of the mountains to fight the Japanese army.

Similar to the Great Wall War of Resistance a few years ago, the equipment and firepower of the Chinese army still have not improved, and there are still no heavy weapons, and even if there are, they are still the target of enemy aircraft on the battlefield without air supremacy.

The national army is still flesh and blood, hard against the aircraft and artillery of the Japanese army, and there is no suggestion from Lao Hei a few years ago, it is estimated that Lao Hei has long forgotten about this person.

tunnels, tunnels; No one digs tunnels to defend the air defense and artillery, and it is estimated that there is no time and manpower to dig it, and the sand and gravel hard ground in the north is indeed difficult to dig.

But these are not reasons, under the threat of life, how can you win if you don't think of a way, or the old way of playing a few years ago?

That is, there are many Chinese, do not take the low-level soldiers as human lives, constantly do ideological education, let people go to death, go to be cannon fodder, and they are unwilling to change their tactics, this is the idea of the cold-blooded military top brass.

Of course, such reactionary words, Lao Hei Yiran couldn't say it, and he was already disappointed, and the soldiers and officers at the bottom, where could they know this, they could only carry out the order, even if they died, they had to die.

In the end, after the national army withdrew from the battlefield, the national army suffered nearly 30,000 casualties, and the Japanese army also suffered almost 10,000 casualties.

……

The three-year study period of the 11th phase of the first corps where Sangou is located has expired, and the final graduation exercise includes: various stragglers, detective service, sentry service, communication service, marching vigilance, outpost, marching camp and confrontation exercises, etc., and finally "battalion-level confrontation", offensive and defensive confrontation in the field.

The front line is blazing, and the rear is everything as fast as possible; The school is scheduled to hold its graduation ceremony at the Linggu Temple on the west side of the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum on the Purple Mountain; For the sake of air defense, the school instructed all teachers and students who participated in the ceremony to march at night and arrive at Linggu Temple before dawn.

Sangou gathered with his classmates in the early hours of the morning, singing songs such as "Whampoa School Song", "March of the Big Knife" and "March of the Volunteers", waiting for the arrival of the graduation ceremony.

Ignoring the danger of the Japanese air raid, President Jiang personally attended the ceremony, and gave a lecture to the effect that he repeated the content of his recent conversation in Lushan.

The principal's words encouraged the students to go to the battlefield to serve the country; The students were all emotional, raised their fists, and chanted the slogan in unison: Resist Japan to the end! Reconquest! Down with Japanese imperialism!

In addition to President Jiang and Chen Jicheng, the director of education, there were also Wang Jingwei, He Yingqing, Tang Shengzhi, Gui Yongqing and other senior officials who attended the ceremony. This was followed by a short military parade.

The students held steel guns in their hands, the team was neat, the pace was the same, when they passed by the rostrum, while saluting the army, while kicking the right steps, they walked through this road majestically, and walked through the last moment of the three years.

Even if there may still be the roar of Japanese planes overhead, and the sound of bombing on the ground may be heard in the distance, these dangers will not affect the steel torrent of our soldiers, and will not affect us to go to the battlefield of iron and blood.

In addition to receiving graduation certificates, graduates also have a "Whampoa short sword"; Sangou was fortunate to be selected as the representative of the outstanding graduates, and came to the stage to receive the graduation certificate and short sword awarded by the principal.

The president named each outstanding graduate representative, and those who received it responded proudly; Hearing the principal read "Luo Zhicheng", the three dogs also shouted loudly: "To", and a "to" resounded through the woods.

The Whampoa short sword is a short sword worn with you, the hilt is made of alloy, one side is cast "Jiang Zhongzheng gift", and the other side is cast with the words "success and benevolence".

Due to the tension of the war ahead, those high-ranking officials, including the principal, immediately left the ceremony in a car, and then it was the end of the farewell ceremony.

At the end, each graduate wore a diploma and a short sword, and after returning to the square, under the leadership of their respective district captains, they lined up to bid farewell to the school governors.

A column of graduates, with their heads held high, raised their hands to salute when they passed by the governor's area, and the commanders also raised their hands to salute and salute the students in return.

Everything was going on silently, only the sound of neat steps was heard, the three dogs followed their own queue, saluting the military salute, and when they passed in front of the old black, they clearly saw the old black salute who was saluting, and the big black face was constantly shedding tears.

Lao Hei knew that he was crying, but he didn't feel ashamed, so he didn't care about it and continued to let it flow; Lao Hei himself knew very well in his heart that this group of lively children was about to throw themselves into the war-torn battlefield.

Most of them will die on the battlefield, and it is clear that it is not a group of soldiers marching, but a group of ghosts walking, even if it is a ghost, you are also a proud ghost.

The country has broken like this, the Japanese army is still raging on the land of the country, as a Chinese soldier, it has an unshirkable role, at this time, the soldier is not up, who are waiting for him?

Despite the backwardness of the military industry and the backwardness of the methods of warfare, these cannot be used as reasons not to fight, and it is the responsibility of all mankind to resist and fight against the aggressor.

For the sake of the country and the people, you are so proud to go to death, without fear, without retreating, only forward, forward, and again.

Together, everyone goes to the national disaster together, and with the comrades-in-arms around you, even if you become a ghost, you are not alone.
