Chapter 1451 Lose the enemy's soul and take away his courage

A red sun hung high in the sky, and the warm sun shone on the earth, bringing a bright and good mood to everyone in the cold wind of this early winter morning. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

In the early morning of 23 July, the remnants of the Japanese troops on the Pudong front line and the Japanese concession suddenly retreated to the French Concession and the Public Concession in Shanghai under the support of the British, American, and French fleets and their own warships.

On the morning of the 23rd, the Anjia army advanced rapidly and recovered the entire Pudong area in one fell swoop, occupying the Waigaoqiao Port on which the Japanese army relied to land, the Bailong Port east of Chuansha Town, the Laogang east of Nanhui, and the Dongmen Port southeast of Fengcheng.

At half past nine, the officers and men of the 115th Brigade of the 24th Army of Gu Changfeng, who were in charge of the vigilance task of this ceremony, were fully armed and marched from Zhenru Station in the Huajie District of Zhabei along the asphalt road on the north bank of the Suzhou Creek to the Japanese Concession. After entering the Japanese concession, the troops crossed Qiujiang Road, Baoshan Road, North Sichuan Road, and Wusong Road all the way to the Daming intersection where Suzhou Creek and Huangpu River meet.

This block can be regarded as the most prosperous area in the Shanghai concession area, only need to cross the steel frame structure, tram can pass the Waibaidu Bridge, cross the Suzhou Creek, opposite the Bund and Nanjing Road, the most prosperous in Shanghai, banks, consulates, commercial institutions, the navy and army headquarters of various countries in Shanghai, etc. are on the right hand side of the road along the river in the dense rows of high-rise buildings, the troops stationed in the Japanese concession into the city, choose to pass by, has a strong symbolic meaning.

The officers and men of the 115th Brigade left half of their troops at the intersection and quickly dispersed along both sides of the street where they came, and began to maintain order in the streets, prevent sabotage by Japanese puppet lurkers, and put an end to the occurrence of such evil incidents as pushing, stampede, and theft, and at the same time facilitate the unhindered passage of the troops entering the city through the downtown area.

The rest of the soldiers continued to run along the road on the bank of the Huangpu River, crossed the Huishan Wharf, entered Yangshupu Road, and then went to the Gongda Yarn Factory, turned north, passed through Hujiang University, and until the Qiujiang Wharf that was recovered and settled yesterday, leaving all the officers and soldiers along the road to carry out strict vigilance.

At present, the Huishan Wharf, Bazi Bridge, Zhizhi University, Yinxianggang, Miaohang, Jiangwan, Zhanghuabang, and Wusong lines inside and outside the Japanese Concession are all under the control of various units of the 24 th Army, and the defense of the entire Shanghai area is impregnable under the protection of the powerful artillery fire of the fortress groups on the Yangtze River and Hangzhou Bay.

At 9:55 a.m., the majestic military music "Serving the Country with Loyalty," played by a special orchestra, came out of all the loudspeakers, and the citizens of Shanghai, who had been waiting on both sides of the streets and alleys along the route of the army, were crowded with anticipation, vying to witness the demeanor of the soldiers of the An Jiajun entering the city.

From the carriages of the floats, the propaganda personnel of the Political Department of the An Jia Army constantly threw large posters printed by the Political Department of the An Jia Army to celebrate the liberation of Shanghai to both sides of the street.

People rushed forward one after another, grabbed the back eyebrows and smiled, or looked down at the festive red posters, or raised bright small flags, echoing the adaptation of "Jing Zhong Serving the Country", the performance of the majestic military music, the scene was enthusiastic, and the whites, blacks and Indian red-headed Ah San who participated in the onlookers were amazed.

When a soldier saw a four- or five-year-old child being pushed down by the crowd, he hurriedly stepped forward to pick him up, took out the candy that had already been prepared in his trouser bag, and provoked the child to laugh.

At ten o'clock in the morning, the sound of music became rapid, the tempo increased significantly, and everyone's hearts tightened at once, and they all looked to the northeast.

I saw rows of neat jeep convoys, appeared in front of Zhenru Station in Zhabei District, these jeeps, all removed the leather roof, standing in the co-pilot seat of the grassroots company commanders, constantly waved to the Shanghai citizens on both sides of the street, the back seat of the jeep on the left and right, each sat three loaded guns and ammunition of the Anjia officers and soldiers, all submachine guns and semi-automatic rifle configuration, they all with a friendly smile, turned their heads, and kept nodding to the Shanghai citizens on both sides of the street, but they did not relax their vigilance at all, He always has a submachine gun in his hand, and does not hesitate to deal a fatal blow to a troublesome enemy when it appears.

Fifty military jeeps drove by, and the next step was a phalanx of big leopards and small leopard off-road vehicles entering the city.

The windows of all the off-road vehicles were opened, and the military captain An Jia, who was sitting in the car, all waved to the growing crowd outside, and the people on both sides of the street were excited and let out loud cheers.

After a huge convoy of 100 large leopards and small leopard off-road vehicles, there was the phalanx of the motorcycle troops of the An Jiajun.

Leading the phalanx of the entire motorcycle unit is an elite two-wheeled motorized infantry carrying semi-automatic rifles, and on the back seat of the two-wheeled motorcycle and on both sides are anti-"concave" closed iron boxes that protect the wheels, and the boxes are loaded with supplies including individual rations, ammunition, and first-aid medicines.

Two-wheeled motorcycles lined up in twos and twos drove slowly down the streets, and it took more than an hour for 500 two-wheeled motorcycles to pass, followed by the three-wheeled motorcycle troops.

The three-wheeled motorcycle is composed of a combat team of drivers and shooters, and in front of the three-wheeled motorcycle side bucket, a murderous general-purpose machine gun is set up to warn anyone who wants to do evil if they have the courage to withstand the powerful machine gun fire in a short period of time. On the back seat of the tricycle, a huge box is installed with logistics support, and a spare wheel is placed behind the side bucket.

However, everyone doesn't know that under the seat of the side bucket, there is a fully sealed space to store spare gasoline, so the endurance of this three-wheeled motorcycle far exceeds the perception of people in this era.

After the 200 three-wheeled motorcycles passed, it was the infantry unit of the Anjia Army.

The company platoon commanders carried submachine guns on their backs, rode majestically on their horses, and kept waving to the people on both sides of the street who were in high spirits.

The infantrymen, with leggings, marching bags on their backs, and semi-automatic rifles, marched forward in three columns.

Every twenty-one people, there will be a Makqin heavy machine gun carried by four people in the marching procession, and the other one person can carry the advancing general-purpose machine gun, and one will appear in the middle of every nine people, which makes all the onlookers gasp.

The 20,000-strong troops walked for more than two hours to finish, and just when everyone thought that the entrance ceremony was about to end, the ground on the street suddenly trembled, and a huge J1 tank appeared at the end of the street.

In order not to damage the roads of the city, the tracks of the J1 tank are all equipped with an artificial rubber barrier layer, but even so, the huge volume crushes the road, which still makes the ground tremble, bringing everyone an invisible sense of oppression.

The army of tanks is like a mighty torrent, as far as the eye can see, the high turret, the huge muzzle, the general-purpose machine gun that can turn 360 degrees, let everyone hold their breath, silently watching one after another camouflage-painted tanks rumble past them.

100 tanks passed, followed by a team of 100 armored six-wheeled and eight-wheeled combat vehicles, and the same terrifying configuration of cannons and machine guns, so that in the banquet hall on the top floor of the Sassoon Building on the other side of the Suzhou Creek, the US ambassador to China Jensen, the French ambassador Nazia, the chargé d'affaires of the British Embassy in China, He Wu, the commander of the navy of the United States, Britain, France, Italy, the Netherlands, and other countries in Shanghai, as well as the directors, presidents, and directors of the concessions and public concessions, were colorless.

The commander of the French navy in Shanghai, Douer, said in fear:

"Oh! OMG! It is estimated that the participation in this entry into the city is only a small part of the many troops of that crazy warlord leader, and how many tanks and armored vehicles did he actually produce in that place in the southwest? Is this still the weak squadron in our impression? ”

No one could answer him, and most of them fell into a state of stupor, witnessing the torrent of steel of the Chinese in front of their eyes with an indomitable momentum, almost losing the ability to think.

After the armored car brigade passed, the contingent of a hundred anti-aircraft combat vehicles, continued to appear.

The citizens of the entire downtown Shanghai are almost in a state of madness, they have the impression that the squadron is a cargo carrying a rifle in leggings, who would have imagined that the An Jiajun, which has been praised many times in newspapers and magazines, has unknowingly possessed such a terrifying mechanized armament? Many people shed tears of excitement and happiness for this, feeling that the victory of the anti-Japanese resistance is no longer something that cannot be expected!

After the anti-aircraft combat vehicles drove by, there were 150mm heavy howitzer platoons of the various armies.

This time, the Anjia Army concentrated the 150mm heavy howitzers of the two corps and divisions, adding up to a total of 192 heavy howitzers, dragged by six-ton heavy military trucks, driving through the downtown area of Shanghai.

On both sides of the street, the generals such as Matsui Ishine, Hasegawa Kiyoshi, Nagato Fujida Shin, Ogisu Tatsubing, and Yamamuro Sotake, who took off his ** disguise as Shanghai citizens, were shocked, although they had anticipated the terrifying strength of the An Jia Army, retreated and evacuated the troops in advance, but because they were unwilling to fail like this, they disguised themselves into the French Concession and lurked, wanting to see what was so terrible about the An Jia Army, and why Ishihara Waner suddenly changed his strategy and received the support of the base camp. Seeing it with their own eyes at this moment, a chill rose in their hearts, and they suddenly had a trace of respect for the new general in North China who controlled the overall situation.

Waiting for the 150mm heavy howitzer platoon to pass, today's finale, the 150mm heavy cannon unit, finally appeared.

This time, in order to disgust the white colonists on the other side of the Suzhou Creek, and also to warn other people, An Yi actually mobilized three regiments of heavy cannons of the Second Artillery Corps to participate in the city entry ceremony when a large number of Chinese and foreign reporters gathered.

When the eight-ton half-track truck, towing a 150mm heavy cannon, drove down the road on the north bank of Suzhou Creek, the invisible pressure brought by the long, huge barrel made all the whites and other people frightened and speechless for a long time.

You must know that the industrial strength and the scientific and technological content behind the 150mm heavy cannon are definitely not comparable to the 150mm howitzer, the long and thick barrel must be forged by a hydraulic press of more than 10,000 tons in order to be formed, and only one 10,000-ton hydraulic press is not enough, it can produce such a number of heavy cannon barrels, which proves that China's steel mills have basically popularized the 10,000-ton hydraulic press, so as to fully ensure the production of large-caliber seamless steel pipes and form a scale effect.

The number of heavy cannons that have almost flowed into a torrent of terror is even close to the number of cannons (note: a total of 344 guns) of the entire Maginot Line carefully constructed by France, and if you add the number of huge cannons in the heavy howitzer phalanx that has just fired, it is far more than the total number of cannons on the Maginot Line.

Such a terrible thing actually appeared in semi-colonial China, how not to let the white people and devils feel like the sky is about to fall.

The French ambassador Nazia put down the binoculars, trembled, left the floor-to-ceiling window, returned to the sofa in the hall and sat down, raised a glass of wine in front of him, and wanted to take a sip to suppress the shock, but his hand trembled too violently, and with a "snap", the glass fell directly to the ground and fell to pieces.

All the white people who had fallen into the state of the magic barrier were awakened by this sound, and they all turned their heads and looked at Nazia, who smiled bitterly and raised her hand, signaling that she was okay, and then asked the waiter to clean the ground, and then said:

"I'm sorry, I lost my temper. I really have nothing to say about the scene before me, and I suddenly regret my advice to my government and parliament...... The French Annam Government had taken action against that warlord yesterday by unilaterally closing the Yunnan-Burma railway and highway and prohibiting the flow of all goods to China; for this reason, the Southern Yunnan Government issued a solemn protest to the French Annam Government at 6 o'clock this morning, saying that if it did not send tens of millions of dollars worth of goods to southern Yunnan and reopen bilateral trade, and promised that similar incidents would not occur again in the future, all the consequences would be borne by the French Annam Government. ”

"The southern Yunnan government has such a tough attitude?"

The commander of the French navy in Shanghai, Duel, was shocked and complained:

"Mr. Ambassador, why did you send such a message to the country before the matter was completely clear? It is reported that the Germans of the Sudetenland region of the Czech Republic held a public rally on the 19th, demanding to follow the example of Austria and incorporate the Sudetenland, which is the majority of Germanic people, into Germany, constituting a real Greater German Empire. Under such circumstances, there is absolutely no need for us to make extraneous troubles and provoke a powerful warlord, which will completely disrupt our armament expansion plan. ”

Na Qiya's mood calmed down a little at this time, and she took a cup of Nezha Cave mineral water from Xufu from the waiter, took a sip, and then said viciously:

"It is precisely because the Syrian government and the southern Yunnan government are so tough that they should fight back! You must know that resolutely suppressing colonial and semi-colonial countries is a function that successive French governments and ambassadors to colonial and semi-colonial countries must exercise!

"As the second largest colonial empire in the world, France has a huge colony of nearly 12.3 million square kilometers, accounting for 8.6% of the world's total land area. So what if you anger the warlord? I don't believe that he dared to defy the condemnation of the world and openly attack French Annam! ”

The chargé d'affaires of the British Embassy in China, He Wu, comforted: "Don't worry, the interests of the British Empire and France are the same, and if that warlord dares to challenge the majesty of the world's most powerful navy and army, I don't mind him being dizzy and crashing into the iron wall of our business."

"The British Empire has a huge colony of 33.5 million square kilometers, accounting for a quarter of the world's landmass, and a colony population of 450 million.

U.S. Ambassador to China Jensen also comforted: "Your Excellency, don't worry, the interests of Britain and France are completely consistent with the United States of America, if someone deliberately breaks the Versailles and Washington system, the United States will definitely make them pay a heavy price, not to mention anything else, it is completely fine to ensure the supply of strategic materials!" I don't believe that a country that is not even complete in its own territory would have the audacity to act against France. And, based on my understanding of Chairman Chiang, he is not a responsible person, and he will definitely not allow his subordinates to do this......"

"But ......"

The commander of the French navy in Shanghai, Douer, distinguished: "That man was only a local warlord, not an army directly under the leadership of the Chinese central government......

It's a pity that no one paid attention to Duer's words, and there were deafening cheers on the other side of the Suzhou Creek outside.

Almost all the white people crowded in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, only to see a dense group of warplanes, flying over Shanghai between 250 and 600 meters in the air.

All the fighters of the An Jiajun flew in echelons, A26 fighters, AB26 dive bombers, S3 high-altitude reconnaissance planes, imitation German Stuka JU88 dive bombers, imitation German HE111 tactical bombers, unnamed Syrian-made four-engine heavy bombers (see the bombing of Japanese tankers above) and B1 mosquito bomber groups painted in bright metallic colors, with overwhelming momentum, flying in the direction of Pudong, the total number of fighters reached 628, and the huge sound waves emitted by aircraft engine engines, Shake the glass window to a "chirp".

All the whites looked at each other, speechless, and the look of worry grew in their eyes.

As the group of planes gradually moved away, the sky gradually darkened, and the citizens of Shanghai, who were so excited that their voices were hoarse, slowly walked towards their homes.

Today's scene left a deep impression on them, knowing that as long as this huge force has always existed, there will be no hope of touching Shanghai for the rest of their lives.

Just when the street lights in the streets and alleys of the concession area were lit one after another, a deafening explosion was suddenly heard in the surrounding area of the concession.

Looking up, I saw that the sky above Shanghai had been covered by countless fireworks, and the fireworks fired by the 203 caliber cannon were not trivial, not only Shanghai, but also the entire Songhu area, which was completely covered by the purple and red.

The sound of military music in the surrounding tweeters has also been replaced by a song from the latest album of Golden Voice:

"Hey, the fireworks in the sky show red festivity, the beautiful songs convey deep affection, the moonlight watercolor paints tomorrow's day, and the joy of victory is in our hearts. Hey, today is a good day, and I can't wait for my daughter's time......"
