White Rose slowly opened her eyes, looked at the snow-white ceiling, and looked around, she was lying in a neat and clean room, a big strong hand was gripping her hand tightly, and she felt a wave of warmth rise from her heart for the first time. Sun Zhiyu fell asleep next to her, and White Rose couldn't help but laugh when she looked at him like a child, she twisted and looked at Sun Zhiyu who had changed into a military uniform for a long time.

"Hey! White Rose you're awake! A door was pushed open, and Shen Shaofan walked in wearing a straight military uniform.

Shen Shaofan's words woke up the half-asleep feather, and when he opened his eyes in a daze, he saw the big watery eyes of the white rose looking at him with a sweet smile. Sun Zhiyu said excitedly: "Are you awake?" ”

White Rose nodded and said, "Where is this?" ”

"It's a hospital in Shanghai." Sun Zhiyu said with a smile.

Shen Shaofan smiled: "Zhiyu has been with you for three days. ”

"Three days? I ......" White Rose couldn't help but be startled, in her memory, she seemed to have been injected with plague germs and could only live for two days.

Sun Zhiyu said: "We found an expert who studied vaccines to help you inject the vaccine. After the rose, we can be together. ”

"Feathers!" White Rose looked at Sun Zhiyu with a kiss.

Shen Shaofan pretended to shake down and said, "I can't stand you." I went out first. ”

White Rose was lucky, Uehaya Kazuina had successfully developed a vaccine against the latest plague germ and helped her get this vaccine, and she survived the most dangerous time, so she is safe now.

Shen Shaofan closed the door and glanced at Sun Zhiyu and White Rose before leaving, thinking of Jin Xiwen a little in his heart, I don't know how she is doing in Nanjing now? He came to the door of the hospital with guilt in his heart, because he thought of his wife Gu Xiaodie in his hometown in Wuxi, but his heart was always worried about Jin Xiwen.

There was a piercing siren in the sky over Wuxi, and the people on the street ran wildly all the way towards the direction of the air-raid shelter, and dozens of Japanese bombers were slowly approaching Wuxi, a city called Little Shanghai.

After a burst of indiscriminate bombing, the Japanese planes flew away, leaving behind the fires and collapsed houses, the helpless wails of the people and the bitter cries of the bereaved relatives, pieces of rubble, and corpses that made people look shocking. In the rubble, several workers removed the body of a young girl wearing a pink cheongsam and she was set aside, and then the bodies of men and women were removed, and they were all laid in a row among the rubble.

Wuxi was neither a military stronghold nor a military position, and the Japanese army launched a brutal and inhumane bombardment of Wuxi. On October 13, 1937, the Japanese army dispatched about 50 heavy bombers to drop nearly 200 tons of aerial bombs on a city without any military targets, several of which happened to fall on Shen Shaofan's old house, and all of Shen Shaofan's relatives in Wuxi were separated from him in an instant, including his wife Gu Xiaodie, his father-in-law, and Qu Bo. In that bombing, more than 100 houses were burned in Wuxi, and nearly 6,000 people were killed in the bombing.

Autumn brought the yellow leaves on the tree to the ground with a wisp of sorrow, and let the autumn wind take away the sadness and sorrow. Shen Shaofan squatted by the tree and cried bitterly, he felt that he had a lot of things to do with his wife at this time, and there were many things to say to his grandparents, crying is a good cure for heartache.

Blocking the sky came to Shaofan and said, "You go back!" You're the only one here, and you're going back to take care of your family's affairs. ”

Shaofan wiped away his tears and said strongly: "The war is so tense now, I can't leave the army." ”

Blocking Tianfang looked at it and said, "Then the brothers are waiting for you at the regiment headquarters." ”

"Good!" Shen Shaofan took off his military uniform and left with Tianfang.

The Sino-Japanese war in Shanghai in October was extremely unfavorable for China; Yuepu; Luodian and other places were lost one after another, and Japan once again reinforced Shanghai, and some troops landed along the Shangjiang River, and landed in the Jiangsu area, encircling Jiading; at the end of October, the Japanese army had occupied most of the outer areas of Shanghai, and the troops began to advance to the urban area.

In mid-October, the National Youth League withdrew to the downtown area of Shanghai, and the Japanese army launched an unprecedented street battle, because other troops were fighting on important places; As a result of the successive losses of dangerous places, the troops of the National Youth League were also defeated and retreated to the North Sichuan Road on the north bank of the Suzhou Creek, and the regiment headquarters was located in the Shanghai Post and Telecommunications Bureau built along the river.

The regimental headquarters venue is now quiet, and the gunshots can still be vaguely heard outside, Shen Shaofan looked around and looked at the officers who had just come down from the battlefield at the venue, they were full of gunsmoke, but they were about to enter the battle again.

Shaofan said: "Brothers, most of the positions north of Suzhou Creek have been lost one after another, our army is retreating to the south bank one after another, and there are ten divisions of troops retreating from our positions, including the 31st Division and the 122nd Division, our task is to hold the North Sichuan Road from now on, so that the retreating troops can retreat to the south bank smoothly." ”

"Yes!"

Shen Shaofan said: "From now on, every building on the North Sichuan Road is our bunker, and it is the stronghold of the devils, and I want to make the devils pay a heavy price for every step." ”

"Although the troops are scattered in street fighting, they are battalions; Join; Row; The formation of the squad cannot be chaotic, the battalion commander sacrifices the deputy battalion commander, the deputy battalion commander sacrifices the 1st company and company commander, and so on, in short, the organization cannot be chaotic, the unit must obey the highest rank as the commander, even if there is only a non-commissioned officer in that battalion, the non-commissioned officer is the supreme commander to take over the command of the unit. The battalion must have a battalion headquarters, and the company must have a radio station of each battalion and each company of the company headquarters; Telephones must be kept open so that the regimental headquarters is kept up to date with the latest war situation. ”

Zhang Wenshan said: "There are two intersections in the positions we guard, one is the intersection of Haining Road and North Sichuan Road in the defense range of the 3rd Battalion, and the other is the intersection of Tongguan Road and North Sichuan Road in the defense range of the 1st Battalion. ”

Shen Shaofan said: "Our task is to hold the North Sichuan Road, the last to evacuate the north bank of Suzhou Creek, except for the artillery company and the logistics column to withdraw to the south bank first, the other troops are not allowed to evacuate the north bank without my order." There is also an engineer company that has placed ZHA medicine on all the bridges in our defense area, but it is not allowed to blow up the bridges without an order from the regimental headquarters. ”

"Yes!"

Sun Zhiyu walked into the conference room of the regiment headquarters at this time and said: "There is already a mess outside, and the refugees are all Chaoying; The French Concession is surging, and I think the Japanese army will come soon. ”

Shen Shaofan said: "Time is pressing, everyone go back and prepare!" ”

"Yes!"

After the meeting was dismissed, Shaofan stood on the roof of the post and telecommunications building and looked at Shanghai in the distance, at this time the North Sichuan Road was very calm, but the other places were already full of gunfire, and a bustling street was originally a bustling street in a few days, and only the army remained. Tens of thousands of troops are retreating south of Suzhou Creek on the main road below, and the battle has begun at the crossroads of Haining Road and North Sichuan Road.

The positions on the streets of the Ningchuan intersection have been lost, the soldiers of the 3rd Battalion are fighting bloody battles with devils in every building, the Japanese army and the soldiers of the National Youth League are mixed in every building at the crossroads, the Japanese army will pay a great price to occupy a building, there are fire points everywhere, sometimes the Japanese army is even * behind several bunkers for several hours.

The battalion headquarters of the 3rd Battalion was located in a grocery store, and Zhao Meng was talking to the regimental headquarters on the phone.

"Commander, the devil's attack is quite fierce!"

"That's right! We're all mixed up with the devils. ”

"Yes!"

Zhao Meng put down the phone and said to the correspondent: "Call the commander of the 3rd Company, Shan Xin, to recapture the Taishan Building that has just been lost, and cover the evacuation of the two divisions of the 9th Army from the North Sichuan Road." ”

Behind a sandbag bunker under the Taishan Building, Shan Xin looked at the corpses of several brothers that had fallen in front of the building only a dozen steps away, and said with a burst of evil fire in his heart: "Damn! Again! As soon as the words fell, I saw five warriors rushing forward, but a tongue of fire suddenly appeared from a window on the third floor, and a burst of fire shot wildly, and the five warriors fell again.

"Squeeze out the cannon! Fry me! Shan Xin shouted.

I heard a roar, two devils flew out of the firepower point on the third floor of the Taishan Building, and the first platoon saw that the firepower point was eliminated, and immediately rushed into the Taishan Building, and heard the dense gunfire coming from inside.

Shan Xin immediately rushed in with a team of soldiers and came to the 1st platoon commander and said, "How is it?" ”

"The second floor has been controlled by us, but the third and fourth floors are still in the hands of the devils." 1 platoon of long roads.

Shan Xin looked at the time and said, "No, we must take full control of the Taishan Building immediately." This is the first commanding height of the North Sichuan Road, which must be taken before the arrival of the 9th Army to ensure their safe passage. ”

"Yes!" The 1st platoon commander shouted, "Platoon 1 follows me up to the third floor." Saying that, he took dozens of soldiers and slowly touched the third floor, and just after walking a few steps, he heard footsteps from above, and the first platoon immediately dodged to both sides, and saw a few devils firing a few shots at the bottom of the building, and then threw a few grenades.

After an explosion, Shan Xin got up from the dust and said, "Damn! The little devil is ruthless enough. With grenades! As he spoke, he took out a grenade, pulled the string, waited for a few seconds, and threw it upstairs, and saw a shake from above, and several bricks and stones fell, followed by the devil's ghost crying wolf.

"Up! Above! Above! Shan Xin seized the opportunity to rush to the third floor with the soldiers. As soon as I went up to the third floor, I saw four or five dead and not dead devils lying on the ground, and as soon as the soldiers went upstairs, they shot a few more shots at the ones who were not dead, and several soldiers also threw a few more grenades into the room just in case, and the room was blown out with devils and dust.

Shan Xin immediately said: "Place two firing points here. The rest follow me up to the fourth floor. ”

"Yes!"

There were no devils on the stairs up the fourth floor, but as soon as they walked out of the corridor, they heard a burst of heavy machine gun fire, and before they could dodge, two or three soldiers were beaten into a sieve.

“*！ There are heavy machine guns with devils! Shan Xin leaned down the stairs and took a deep breath.

It may have been that the Japanese moved up as the point of fire, and when they saw the National Youth League rushing up, they hurriedly turned the gun around. As soon as the heavy machine gunners heard the sound of the wooden staircase, they immediately opened fire, and the soldiers had no chance to step forward, plus the passage was a necessary place to occupy the entire fourth floor. Shan Xin probe looked at it, and saw that the muzzle of the heavy machine gun was at the entrance of this building, and as long as he looked up slightly, he could go to Hades.

Shan Xin signaled them not to make a sound, took out a few grenades from his waist and tied them together, and at the same time pulled the strings and threw them at the top, and heard a loud noise, Shan Xin immediately held the submachine gun and fired wildly at it, and then four or five grenades flew out of the entrance of the building, and there were several loud noises, and Shan Xin immediately took the lead and rushed up to the fourth floor, and the soldiers who followed up began to search the room again.

The Taishan building was finally taken down, it was the lives of several soldiers who took it, and the devil was pressed by several strong firepower on the building for a while, so he had to give up and then retreat to a section of Baoshan Road, and the first intersection was restored to Pingjin.

Zhao Meng stood on the street, watching the retreating troops pass by here, and when he saw the soldiers of the 9th Army, he shouted like defeated roosters: "Brothers, you are discouraged! When we get to the South Bank, we can regroup and deploy, and we can beat the little devil to the ground. ”

The two units embody two different fighting spirits, and from this we can see why the National Youth League has won many battles. When the soldiers heard this, they also lifted their spirits, and one by one they strode forward with their chests held high.

An officer saw it and asked curiously, "What unit is here to defend it?" ”

"National Youth League! Known as the 'ever-winning' regiment! One soldier said, "The Japanese call them the Iron Army." ”

The officer exclaimed: "This is the most confident unit I have ever seen on the battlefield of Songhu." "This officer is Xie Jinyuan.

Shen Shaofan was looking at the map at the regiment headquarters, and he was discussing with Zhiyu and others the deployment of troops to retreat to the south bank of Suzhou Creek. At this time, a telegraph man put down his headset and walked up to Shaofan and said, "Regiment commander, the former enemy headquarters is in an emergency. ”

Shaofan took it and sighed. Sun Zhiyu took it from Shaofan's hand and read: "Now the 21st Group Army is trapped in the Jiangwan area, and the losses are heavy, so your department immediately rushed to the aid of the Jiangwan area and opened the road for the 21st Group Army to retreat south of Suzhou Creek. Former headquarters Chen Cheng. ”

When Zhang Wenshan heard this, he immediately measured it on the map, and said after a while: "Regiment commander, the troops north of the Suzhou Creek are the closest to Jiangwan in our National Youth League, but many places in front have been occupied by the Japanese army. ”

Sun Zhiyu looked at the map and said: "On the 22nd, the Japanese army has assembled the 3rd; Article 13; The 101st 3rd Division broke through our army's defensive position between Miaohang and Chenjiahang, and on the 26th, the Japanese army occupied Miaohang and Dachang, and now the 21st Army is holding positions in the area of Beizhan and Jiangwan. In particular, the North Station is the focus of contention, the 316th Division of the Central Army has been completely lost there, and the 21st Army has suffered from the situation of being attacked by the enemy on its back, and if the retreat channel in the southern part of Jiangwan is not opened in time, the 21st Army is likely to be completely annihilated. ”
