The corners of Captain Takahashi's mouth curled slightly, and he sneered a few times and said, "It turns out that I admire the Kwantung Army very much. After this campaign, I now look down on them a little. Although they occupy a large amount of land, they are far from us. Captain Takahashi changed his words and asked, "Komura-kun, do you think we can defeat the branch army in the front position?!" ”

Komura Shaozo said with a smile: "With such fierce artillery fire, it is impossible to leave even a mouse, let alone the branch army in the front position." Wait a minute, we'll just have to receive. I believe that tomorrow at dawn we will be able to complete the encirclement of the defending Haizhi army. ”

After another half an hour, all the shells of the warships anchored on the Yangtze River were gone. The commander of the 11th Division, who was standing on the deck of the warship, held up his binoculars and looked at the position of the Chinese Army, which had become a ruin and black smoke was still emitting from the soil, and gave the order to attack.

"The devil is here, ready to fight!" When the soldiers heard Hong Yu's shout, they all cheered up. It didn't take long for the dense Japanese soldiers to come into the soldiers' field of vision. Looking at the devil who was slowly approaching with a gun, Hong Yu said: "It's better to take my gunshot, put the little devil closer to fight." ”

"Da Da ......"

"Bang bang ......" Just as Hong Yu and the others were quietly waiting for the devil to approach, the sound of light and heavy machine guns and rifles sounded on the main position, and Hong Yu's hanging heart relaxed.

"Two hundred meters, one hundred and eighty meters, one hundred and sixty meters、...... Fifty meters, forty meters, thirty meters, twenty meters" Seeing that the devil's feet were about to step on the soldier hidden in the crater, Hong Yu suddenly got up from the ground and pulled the trigger of the flower mechanism in his hand. As Hong Yu's gunfire rang out, the firepower network composed of thirty flower machines and more than a dozen light machine guns instantly tore the devils who rushed up to pieces.

Soon the dense gunfire of Hong Yu and their place attracted the attention of Vice Admiral Yamamuro Sotake, who was watching the battle from the warship, and Yamamuro Sotake called the herald around him and said, "Concentrate the grenadiers and mortars and knock out the branch and the army there." ”

"Hey!" The herald answered and walked away quickly. It didn't take long for dozens of mortar shells and grenades to fall from the sky, and the fighters hidden in the crater reacted very quickly, and before the shells fell, they pulled the corpse of a devil and pressed it against their bodies.

Because it was dark, the devils thought that all the Chinese soldiers who were blocking them had been killed by shells, and they got up from the ground again, and when they were about to cross the craters hidden by the Chinese army with their guns in their arms, the dense gunfire rang out again.

"Nani?!" The smile on Lieutenant General Yamamuro's face disappeared instantly when he saw that the army he was proud of was once again repulsed by the Chinese army. Looking at the soldiers who had returned again, Lieutenant General Sotake Yamamuro asked, "When will the shells replenished by the warship arrive?!" ”

The attendant replied, "It will take about two hours." ”

"Eight Tooth Road!" Lieutenant General Yamamuro Sowu scolded lightly and said, "I don't believe that the branch is iron, and it is all invulnerable!" Concentrate all the mortars and grenadiers and give me all the shells! ”……

"Military seat, Tang Guangji's emergency telegram!"

General Zhang took the telegram and put it aside without looking at it. Cai Tingkai, who was standing on the side, glanced at General Zhang and asked, "Brother Wen Bai, why are you doing this?!" ”

General Zhang sighed and said, "Don't look at it, this must be a telegram from Tang Guangji asking for a retreat." Then General Zhang asked, "What is the situation ahead now?!" ”

Cai Tingkai shook his head and said, "The situation is not good. Although at first the devils were bored by us and let us occupy some of the lost positions. But it quickly gained a foothold, and now the heels are in a state of scorching. ”

"Hey!" General Zhang couldn't help but sigh, and just wanted to say something, when he saw Jiang Guangnai walking in from outside, he consciously suppressed the words he was about to utter. At this time, Jiang Guangnai's voice was heard: "Brother Wen Bai, Song Xilian Brigade, where are you now?!" ”

General Zhang replied, "Just arrived in Qianjing!" ”

Jiang Guangnai hurriedly said: "Call Song Xilian immediately and ask him to build a defensive line in Qianjing to block the Japanese army." In addition, send another telegram to the teaching corps. He Tang Guangji wants to retreat, so let them retreat! ”

When General Zhang heard Jiang Guangnai's words, he hesitated for a moment and nodded at the adjutant on the side. The adjutant left in understanding. After the adjutant left, General Zhang asked, "Brother Jingran, what's wrong?!" ”

Jiang Guang Nai said helplessly: "When our attack was smooth, those who colluded with the devils stabbed us in the back. We're going to lose this battle! ”

Although I had been mentally prepared for this for a long time, I didn't expect to lose so quickly. When General Zhang and Cai Tingkai heard Jiang Guangnai's words, the two unconsciously glanced at each other and sighed in unison. ……

On 1 March, the Japanese army, having completed its operational deployment, launched an all-out attack on the defenders of Shanghai. In the evening of the same day, Chiang Guangnai, Cai Tingkai and General Zhang, under the predicament of being forced to have no successor and being threatened on their flanks, decided to make a strategic retreat at 11 o'clock in the evening and withdraw the left flank army to the line of Jiading and Taicang; The Right Wing Army withdrew to the line of Huangdu and Fangtai. The retreat deployment that night was detailed and unexpected, so the whole army evacuated safely.

On March 3, the Supreme Commander of the Japanese Army, Yoshinori Shirakawa, issued a statement, saying, "The Chinese army has withdrawn, the security of the imperial subjects and the peace of the concession have been restored, and combat operations will be suspended!" ”

On 5 May, China and Japan signed the "Songhu Armistice Agreement" under the mediation of Britain, the United States, France, and Italy. The Japanese army returned to the pre-war defense area (the northern and eastern areas of the Shanghai Public Concession and the cross-border road construction zone), and the Chinese army temporarily stayed at its current station (from Anting Town on the Shanghai-Nanjing Railway to Hupu on the Yangtze River), and the combat zone was classified as a demilitarized area. At this point, the Songhu battlefield temporarily returned to calm.

In late April, Hong Yu returned to Xiaolingwei with the few remaining enlisted students to follow the teaching corps. At this time, Xiaolingwei was very depressed. Hong Yu just walked into the barracks with the enlisted students, and he didn't have time to wipe his face. The herald appeared in front of them: "The Central Army, Army, Officers, and School order that all enlisted students should return to school before three o'clock this afternoon." Pack your things and send your car to wait for you outside. With that, the herald walked away quickly.

Looking at the back of the herald leaving, Tan Yuan couldn't help but scold: "What a thing! Just command and show off your power with Lao Tzu, and fight with the little devil! ”

"That's it! Say a few words, what's unhappy, hold it back for Lao Tzu, and wait for the next time you fight with the little devil, vent it to the devil! After that, Hong Yu said to Tang Xingshang: "Help me clean up, I'll go see my sister, and I'll be back soon." ”

"There you go! But hurry! After that, Tang Xingshang patted Hong Yu on the shoulder.

Walking out of the barracks, Hong Yu saw Lin Jun standing at the door and smiled at Lin Jun. Lin Jun smiled and threw the key to Hong Yu and said, "The motorcycle is outside, go and come back quickly!" ”

"Yes!" Hong Yu saluted Lin Jun and rushed in the direction of the parked motorcycle. Seeing the shadow of Hong Yu's departing car, Lin Jun's face showed a helpless expression, shook his head, pushed the door and walked into the barracks.

"Hong Yu, why are you here?!" Zhu Yingying saw Hong Yu getting off the motorcycle and asked curiously.

Hong Yu asked anxiously, "What about my sister?!" ”

Zhu Yingying replied, "Doctor Lin is in the duty room. Is there something wrong with you?! Do you want me to call her?! ”

"No, I'll go by myself." After that, Hong Yu ran to the duty room in a hurry. Looking at the back of Hong Yu leaving, Zhu Yingying frowned and muttered, "What's wrong with this kid Hong Yu today?!" Why are you so frizzy?! ”

Just when Zhu Yingying was speculating about the reason in her heart, Hong Yu ran into the duty room, saw Doctor Lin sitting at the desk reading a book, and exclaimed excitedly: "Sister! ”

Hearing the shout, Doctor Lin raised his head and saw Hong Yu, hurriedly put down the book, stood up, and asked happily, "Hong Yu?!" When did you get back?! Quick, let my sister see if you are hurt again! ”

Hong Yu walked in front of Doctor Lin with a smile and said, "Sister, I'm here to say goodbye to you." School order, let's go back to school immediately. You can rest assured! I'll come back to see you when I'm free. ”

Doctor Lin patted Hong Yu's head dotingly, and said, "Be more careful, and come to see my sister when you have time." ”

"Got it, sister! You can rest assured! If you forget about others, will you forget you?! I'll come to see you in two days, and besides, I have your phone number here, so even if I can't come, I can call you. Saying that, Hong Yu showed a shy smile on his face, looked at Doctor Lin, and said, "Sister, I'm not here, you should take care of yourself." If a person is idle and panicked, he will find our company commander, but it is really not good,......"

Without waiting for Hong Yu to finish speaking, Doctor Lin reached out and scratched Hong Yu's nose and said, "Take care of your own affairs!" Don't let Sister and Hui'er worry. Sister's business, sister doesn't need you to teach. Let's go! It's too late to be scolded again! ”

"Oh!" Hong Yu answered, pouted, and turned around and left the resident hospital three times in one step. …… Seeing the car shadow gradually disappearing, Doctor Lin sighed lightly, just turned around and saw Zhu Yingying standing behind him, and asked, "Why are you here?!" ”

Zhu Yingying asked: "Doctor Lin, why is Hong Yu in a hurry today, he usually fights with me, but today he asked me where you are, and he didn't say anything else." ”

Doctor Lin said: "These enlisted students have been ordered to go back to school. I guess we won't be able to see each other for a while. ”

"Huh?!" Zhu Yingying couldn't help but scream in surprise and said, "Why didn't he say it earlier?!" Damn Tang Xingshang didn't come to see me either, and said goodbye to me. ”

Doctor Lin smiled and took Zhu Yingying's hand and said, "Okay! The next time Hong Yu comes, I will ask him to go back and teach Tang Xingshang a good lesson, and let him know the consequences of our eldest lady Yingying. ”
