Chapter 1: The Nation's Martyrdom

In 1931, when the Japanese army launched the September 18 Incident, the government of the Republic of China abandoned Northeast China and allowed the Japanese army to ravage the land of Northeast China without letting go of a single shot.

From 1931 to 37, the Japanese army indirectly invaded Chahar, Suiyuan, Hebei, Shanxi, and Shandong, and in 37 years the Japanese army brazenly launched the 77 Incident; at the end of the month, Chiang Kai-shek issued a letter to all the officers and men of the War of Resistance, calling on the Chinese people from all walks of life to take up arms to resist the Japanese invaders.

Soldiers from all over the country, under the call of the government and with the support of the elders in their hometowns, impassionedly embarked on the journey of resistance against Japan and embarked on a blood-stained journey.

On August 13 of the same year, in order to prevent the Japanese army from advancing from north to south and open the hinterland of the Central Plains to achieve the goal of containing the Japanese army, Chiang Kai-shek launched the Battle of Songhu, and the whole army rushed to Songhu, gathered more than 700,000 troops, and swore to reject the enemy in Shanghai. Because the weapons and equipment were far inferior to those of the enemy, although our army had the desire to serve the country, it could not resist the Japanese planes and artillery, and Shanghai fell on 13 November, the national army was defeated and retreated, and more than 300,000 people sacrificed their lives for the country, and the whole country was sad and indignant.

At the end of the Battle of Songhu, the Japanese Ninth Division, the Thirteenth Division, the Chongteng Detachment and other troops attacked Wuxi from east to west, and the Jiangyin area wanted to directly open the gateway to Nanjing. The Chinese army built defense lines such as Zhajia and Xicheng to delay the Japanese army and buy time to defend the national capital Nanjing.

"Boom~Boom~"

Zhang Ziwen climbed out of the tunnel and watched the Japanese planes that dropped their bombs circling and flying in the direction of Shanghai. From August 13 to November 13, Shanghai fought for three whole months, and more than 200,000 soldiers and 15 generals dragged the Japanese for three months with their blood, and their blood also stained the land of Shanghai.

The first division of the 25th Army of the Guizhou Army was reorganized into the 103rd Division of the National Revolutionary Army at the beginning of the year, and in mid-August, it rushed from Huangpi, Hubei Province to Songhu on foot and by train.

In Jiangyin, the 103rd Division witnessed the total annihilation of the Navy of the National Revolutionary Army of the Republic of China.

During the 103rd Division's garrison in Jiangyin, the Japanese army constantly crossed the defensive line to bombard the rear front of Songhu, intending to directly capture Nanjing.

"Brother Wen, Brother Wen, are you okay" Ma Xiaobao Xiaobao ran over from the traffic trench, Zhang Ziwen didn't have time to deal with him. Ma Xiaobao is the secretary of the ninth company of the 613th Regiment of the 103rd Division, and the current adjutant Zhang Ziwen is the secretary of the company.

"The medical staff hurriedly bandaged the wounded brothers, and the second platoon commander hurried to see if any brothers were injured."

"Yes, company commander" The second platoon commander responded, turned around and ran out of the traffic trench with his waist on his waist.

"Ma Xiaobao, go to the battalion headquarters to see if the battalion commander has any news from the front line, and by the way, ask how the fort is doing."

Zhang Ziwen was forced to join the army with death, and his family finally used money to get a platoon commander for Zhang Ziwen, and he ran to Hubei before he was stable, and then stayed for two months and then ran to Jiangyin, and then dug fortifications in Jiangyin for two months and suffered bombs for two months, but the company commander was killed by a plane more than ten days ago, and only now there is Zhang Ziwen acting company commander, and the agent can be ignored. This soldier is still promoted quickly, and he is happy when he thinks of this, and he is interrupted as soon as he is happy.

The old pole to the right of the "company commander" shouted.

"What the hell, old pole"

The old pole is about 40 years old, has good marksmanship, and often boasts that he has participated in the Northern Expedition to save big officials, whether it is true Zhang Ziwen doesn't know, anyway, everyone doesn't take it seriously and just have fun.

"Company commander, you see that you have twenty rings now, and it's not a problem to carry 98K on your back all the time, how about using it for me"

The Kar98k Mauser rifle, which was improved from the Gew.98 rifle, is widely copied in China and is called Zhongguan, and the one on Zhang Ziwen is imported from Germany, and it can be turned into a sniper rifle immediately if you have a scope.

"Don't think about it, there is only one regiment, and you are holding the lieutenant official in your hand, or did I ask the battalion commander for it? It's not much different from 98k, if it weren't for the change of equipment in Sichuan in February, the whole regiment doesn't know how many people are still fighting with devils with old sleeves. ”

Zhang Ziwen glared at the old pole and said, the old pole cat didn't speak again in the trench.

Since the annihilation of the navy, the Yangtze River has become the world of the Japanese, and the Japanese warships have been fighting with the artillerymen in this area of Jiangyin for a long time, and the 103rd Division is all in the trenches, waiting to be bombed.

The Japanese small unit touched again, Zhang Ziwen felt very strange, the Japanese only had more than 20 people at a time, and each time they secretly planned to touch their defense line, and this time it had been three times, and once they sneaked to the bottom of the position to find out, if it wasn't for the brothers on duty to find out, it is estimated that the Japanese would have touched it.

Zhang Ziwen felt that these twenty or so people couldn't do anything if they touched it, but as long as they were Japanese, they couldn't let them pass. After a few symbolic shots, the two sides ceased fire, and Zhang Ziwen did not dare to rush out of the position, fearing that the Japanese would deceive.

"Brother Wen, Brother Wen, I'm back" Ma Xiaobao came back by touching the traffic trench.

"How? After the Japanese occupied Shanghai, what is the situation now? ”

The Japanese captured Shanghai on the 13th, and the 13th Division, the Chongteng Detachment, and the Integrated Cavalry Wing pointed to Jiangyin.

"I heard the battalion commander say that yesterday in Taicang, the Liuhe River was lost, and it will hit Jiangyin immediately, let us pay attention. There was also a plane on the 10th day of the fortress to catch a devil pilot for the 112th Division. ”

On November 14, the 13th Division captured Taicang and Liuhe, and the Japanese army had pressed in front of the 103rd Division.

"Okay, I know, you go and see the second platoon leader, and then see that there are a lot of injuries in the whole company and can't go up, take a squad and send them to Lujia Zhuangzi, and the wounded will be sent directly over in the future."

Zhang Ziwen estimated that the devils should fight to Jiangyin in a few days, and it would be difficult to take care of the wounded on the battlefield. Everyone says that devils can fight, Zhang Ziwen doesn't believe it, everyone has two shoulders and one head.
