Chapter 44 Shield of the Motherland

Kitaoka Yoshino calmed down this time and thought about how to break through the impregnable wall in front of him, and he decided to let go on the third day, and he sent all his troops to the shield position, and the frontal position must be taken at 1:00 tomorrow afternoon. Another contest will begin tomorrow's battlefield. Kitaoka Yoshino's shield position in the National Youth League suffered extremely heavy casualties, but he understood that the position opposite him was the key to breaking the Hudong defense line, and he also understood that tomorrow's battle would be one word 'attack'.

The shield position is in the center of the Hudong defense line, as long as the shield position is broken, the troops can attack north and south in two ways, and cooperate with the 19th Division to break through each position of the Hudong defense line one by one, the shield position is like the pillar of a building, as long as the pillar is blown up, the building will collapse. On the contrary, if the pillar does not fall, even if the part of the building is blown up, it will only hurt the skin. The combat intention of the first commanders on the Hudong defense line is very clear, that is, to put the Japanese army in an embarrassing confrontation state, and the Japanese army's intention is also very clear that it is to break through the Hudong defense line as soon as possible and enter the downtown area of Shanghai.

At night, dim horse lanterns jumped and flickered in a tent, Shen Shaofan and Sun Zhiyu; Blocking the sky; Zhang Wenshan and the four of them studied the battle map for a long time.

"It seems that there is nothing to see." Our position has become the key to the Hudong defense line, as long as we hold our position, the Japanese army will not be able to shake our entire Hudong defense line, but once our position is shaken, it will be the result of shaking a pillar and destroying the whole city. ”

"Yes! This position of ours is a shortcut into the downtown area of Shanghai, and it is also a place where the entire Hudong defense line can be divided into two, and it seems that tomorrow's battle will be even more brutal. Zhang Wenshan said.

Sun Zhiyu said: "The question is how to fight tomorrow's battle?" ”

"How else can you fight!" Shen Shaofan said: "Tomorrow's battle is 'keeping', and if we can keep tomorrow, our intention will be achieved, and if we can't keep it, we will be ashamed of the expectations of China's 45,000,000 compatriots." The advance column and the 5th battalion were ordered to immediately enter the No. 2 line of defense, the regimental headquarters to enter the No. 3 line of defense, and the mortars of the whole regiment were all concentrated on the No. 3 line of defense. ”

"Shaofan, then we have no way out." Sun Zhiyu said.

Shen Shaofan slammed his clenched fist on the table and said, "What I'm fighting is a battle against the water, and I'm going to sink the boat." ”

The shield position is different from the 13507 heights in Pingjin.

The 13507 Heights is a bargaining chip, a bargaining chip for peace negotiations with the Japanese army, so both sides still have reservations, and the battle on the battlefield is to fight for capital at the negotiating table, but Takagi Yoshito did not expect that the National Youth League would also play for the capital of China's negotiations. So the Japanese army was defeated in cowardice on the 13507 heights.

The shield positions are different, the fighting intentions of the two sides are quite clear, one defends and one attacks, and the defenders want to consume the attackers on the Hudong defense line to drag them down and drag them down. The attacker should break through the defender's defense line in Hudong, crush it and flatten it. So the battle on the shield position is a bit as simple and clear as the final battle between two football teams on the green field, one to score and the other not to let the goal come. 'Attack' and 'defensive' will become the most critical words tomorrow.

The shield is one of the most effective defensive weapons in ancient times, it can resist the enemy's arrows and slashes, and it can protect your life in battle. The shield in the hands of the National Youth League is not to protect their own lives, but to protect the lives of thousands of Chinese compatriots, in fact, they are shields, a flesh and blood shield that is willing to shed blood and sacrifice for the motherland.

Dawn was about to pass, and the clouds with fish's belly white were slowly drifting away with the wind in the eastern corner, and the sun seemed to appear in the sky at that moment, looking down proudly at all the creatures on the earth, as if he could control it completely. A few white clouds were still floating leisurely in the sky, and they did not put the sun that claimed to be the master of all living beings in their eyes.

Shen Shaofan looked at the sun rising in the east and felt a sense of disgust at some point, and he murmured softly: "The birds have no feet to fall on the mountain, and the people cry when the sun rises." ”

"Drink!" Blocking Tianfang came to him and said, "It's full of Yaxing early in the morning!" ”

Shen Shaofan smiled: "It's not what I'm talking about, it's what I said on the back picture." ”

Blocking Tian laughed and said: "You can be regarded as a person who has eaten foreign bread for a few days, how can you read such idle books!" ”

Shen Shaofan said: "This is not an idle book, it is a heavenly book. 'The birds have no feet to fall on the mountains, and the people cry at the rising sun' is just the current fortune of our China! ”

Blocking the sky and asked, "How do you say this?" ”

"Isn't 'bird without feet' just a horizontal line missing from the word 'bird'!" Isn't it an island if the word "bird" is added to the mountain, and Japan is not an island country! Shen Shaofan explained.

Blocking the sky sounded a few reasons, and asked urgently: "What about below?" ”

Shen Shaofan said: "'The rising sun, the people cry', the rising sun represents Japan, and the people of the world have not all suffered when Japan is born." Therefore, as early as the Tang Dynasty, pushing the back map has already foreshadowed that China will suffer such a catastrophe! ”

Blocking the sky laughed and said, "Hey! The push back map is so powerful, it is not a national treasure, our principal as long as the study of the push back map will not know the future fate of China, when the time comes, the good will work hard, and the bad will avoid China, and everything will be prosperous. ”

Shen Shaofan smiled slightly and said, "It's just talking." ”

As the two of them were talking, they heard the rumbling of artillery at the front, and the two quickly picked up the binoculars and looked at them. I saw dense devils rushing towards the shield position, and many devils were still carrying temporary ladders in their hands.

"It seems that the devil has also become smarter and uses the ladder." ”

Shen Shaofan smiled: "This is what I want." Ordered the troops not to shoot until half of the devils had crossed the deep trench before firing, telling them to remember to use the heaviest fire once they fired. ”

"Yes!" A correspondent said.

"Order the artillery to set the coordinates of the firing in the area of the deep trench." Shen Shaofan said again.

Blocking Tianfang also understood Shaofan's intentions and said: "Once the devil crosses the deep trench, the pressure on the No. 2 defense line will be too great. ”

Shen Shaofan said: "The strength of our entire regiment is on the No. 2 defense line, if we can't even withstand the first wave of attacks from devils, then our National Youth League will simply be disbanded." ”

Chief of Staff Sun Zhiyu commanded the overall situation on the No. 2 defensive line, he watched the devil borrow a ladder to cross the deep trench, held his breath, looked at the number of enemy troops, and after half of the devil's men crossed the deep trench, he immediately gave the order to open fire.

"Fire!" "Fire!" "Fire!" There was a command to open fire from the second line of defense, followed by a series of gunfire, grenades, and mortars. The devil was crushed in the middle of the narrow first and second lines of defense. At the same time, the sound of artillery in the deep trench area even blew up the ladder of the devils erected on the deep trench by the artillery of the Heavenly Youth League, and the devils who were sandwiched between the two defense lines were in a dilemma, the front was like a rain of shots, and the back was a trench more than ten meters deep.

Sun Zhiyu was very excited when he saw it: "Order the troops to rush up and drive all the devils into the anti-tank trench for me." ”

Ordered the officers of the battalions and columns to fight bravely in front of them, shouting and killing like a raging sea, wave after wave, white-knuckle battle unfolded on a small piece of land, gunfire; the sound of bayonets fighting to death; The wails rang out. At this time, Japanese diamond fighters appeared in the sky above the position, they dived and roared, and fired wildly at the ground, and even their own people were shot and killed, and a large number of soldiers fell in the strafing of the fighters. Because there was no air supremacy, the National Youth League suffered greatly, and Sun Zhiyu ordered all Czech ZB26s to fire into the sky, but to no avail.

Yu Cheng, the deputy commander of the pre-cadre column, saw that the troops were disrupted by enemy planes, jumped up a high slope and shouted: "Brothers, don't rush up......" At this moment, an enemy plane fired several bullets from the plane, whistling in the middle of Yu Cheng's chest, and at the same time, a bomb also exploded beside him, Yu Cheng held a Mauser rifle and looked at the brothers down the slope and smiled: "Brothers, don't be afraid. Hold! ”

Blocking Tianfang also appeared on the battlefield with a submachine gun at this time, and when he saw Yu Cheng, who was about to fall, he shouted: "Yu Cheng! As he spoke, he ran up the high slope and helped Yu Cheng and shouted, "Don't pretend to be a bear on your kid's eyes now!" Stand up with me. ”

Yu Cheng opened his eyes slightly, smiled and said, "Deputy of the regiment!" You're so domineering, I'm dying, and you want me to stand. ”

"You kid can't die, if you die, who will take care of Lao Tzu alone." Blocking the sky and letting go.

Yu Cheng smiled: "You still owe me a few drinks!" ”

"That's right! You can't die, and I owe you a few drinks!" "Blocking the sky and letting go.

"Regimental deputy! It seems that those few meals of wine will be returned in the next life! I...... First ...... first," Yu Cheng thumped off his arm and left forever.

Blocking the sky and glaring at the arrogant Japanese diamond fighter in the sky, raised his submachine gun and shot at the sky, saying: "Little devil, you son of a bitch, come here!" Lao Tzu is not afraid of you! ”

At this time, Shen Shaofan couldn't sit still, and when he came to the headquarters of the second line of defense, he said as soon as he came in: "What's the matter?" It's been almost half an hour, why haven't you driven the devil into the deep trench. ”

Sun Zhiyu said: "The devil relies on air supremacy, many of our soldiers have fallen under the devil's fighter plane, and the devil's infantry is still constantly crossing the deep trench, it seems that the Yoshino division has been dispatched." ”

"!" Shen Shaofan threw away the horsewhip in his hand and said, "That Yoshino wants to finish up with us." So saying, he put on his helmet and a submachine gun, and headed for the front with the guard battalion.

At this time, the battlefield entered a white-hot level, and both the Yoshino Division and the National Youth League were pouring out nearly 100,000 horses to fight in a small position.

Shen Shaofan saw with his own eyes that a piece of soldiers fell under the devil's diamond fighter, so he grabbed the Czech ZB26 and shot wildly into the sky, just at this moment, a diamond fighter crashed into the distance with thick black smoke, and at the same time, an American fighter with the blue sky and white sun emblem appeared in the sky, and the fighters of both sides also launched an air battle in melee combat in the air.

Shen Shaofan looked at the black smoke crashing behind the diamond-shaped buttocks and shouted with laughter: "Our plane!" Our plane is coming! ”

The soldiers on the battlefield cheered, followed by more than a dozen trumpeters blowing the trumpet. Shen Shaofan took the lead, with a blue sky and white sun banner in his palm, rushing forward, the chaotic team was organized again, and the surging shouts and killing voices pushed the little devil into the deep trench step by step. Tens of thousands of Japanese soldiers were shot in the trench more than ten meters deep, and the devils who had not yet crossed the trench also threw away their armor and rushed to their positions. The National Youth Regiment also withdrew to the No. 2 defensive line, and at the same time, a rapid fire of hundreds of incendiary bombs from the artillery battalion was heard near the anti-tank, and hundreds of incendiary bombs smashed into the deep trench, and the wails of the Japanese were heard from inside.

When the battlefield was quiet, the National Youth League was busy cleaning up the battlefield and preparing for the next attack of the Japanese army, and they threw the corpses of the Japanese soldiers into the deep trenches and put the corpses of their soldiers side by side. Shen Shaofan looked at the scorched land as usual, and looked at the soldiers who gave their precious lives for this land, he was stunned by the battlefield, and a soldier was stunned by the cruelty of the battlefield.

Blocking Tianfang slowly walked over, holding a Zhongzheng sword in his hand and said, "Shaofan, put this and Teng Hao's saber away!" It confirms what these people have paid for China's land? ”

Shen Shaofan took the Zhongzheng Sword and put it in Lei Fei's hand, only to find that Lei Fei already had six Zhongzheng Swords and three sabers issued by other military academies in his hands. Both were speechless. In this battle, the Chinese Youth League lost nearly 1,000 soldiers, including 32 officers at and above the platoon level, six officers from Huangpu, one student from the Baoding Military Academy, one graduate of the Jiangxi Supreme Lecture Martial Arts School, and one graduate of the Beiping Military Academy, all of whom were first-class officers of the company.

At this time, Li Hairong ran over and said, "Commander! Is there a mine to be laid here? ”

"Bray!" Shen Shaofan said.

Shen Shaofan said to the correspondent again: "Order all departments to stick to their posts and not attack at will, in short, one word 'guard'." ”

"Yes!"

Sun Zhiyu nodded and said, "It seems that the Yoshino Division is no longer capable of organizing another large-scale attack, and our army has actually completed the true intention of the Hudong Defense Line." Now what we have to do is to hold this position and fight a confrontation with the devils. ”

Shen Shaofan looked back at the direction of the Japanese position, and began to think about what in his heart?

At this moment, a second lieutenant ran over and saluted Shaofan and said, "Commander Shen, Commander Zhang is waiting for you at your regimental headquarters." ”

Shen Shaofan was startled and hurriedly patted off the dust on his body and blocked the sky; Sun Zhiyu and others returned to the regiment headquarters together. As soon as I entered the door, I saw Zhang Zhizhong looking at the map that Shaofan put on the conference table.

"Report! Shen Shaofan, head of the National Youth League, came to report! Shen Shaofan said.

Zhang Zhizhong looked at it and smiled: "Shaofan! Come! Come! He waved his hand and motioned for Shaofan to come to him.

Shen Shaofan walked to Zhang Zhizhong's side suspiciously. Zhang Zhizhong said again: "This picture was drawn by yourself." ”

"Yes!" Shaofan replied.

"Hmm!" Zhang Zhizhong said: "The line is clear, the writing is carefully, it seems that when you are in Huangpu, the homework on the map should be good!" ”

"Report! In the ninth term of Whampoa, my picture homework exam was the second place in the whole term. "Shaofan Dao.

"Oh!" Zhang Zhizhong asked in surprise: "Who else is better than you?" ”

Shen Shaofan said: "Back to General Zhang!" Sun Zhiyu, chief of staff of our regiment. ”

"Haha......" Zhang Zhizhong said: "I now know the reason why the chairman strongly recommends your National Youth League." It turns out that your group is full of talents! ”

Shen Shaofan was shocked and said: "The principal recommended our National Youth League? ”
