The grand celebration procession, the call for resolutely resisting Japan and serving the country in the army was unprecedentedly high, and the "Oriental News" went out at 11 o'clock in the morning and reported in detail the "two. The history of the pen ~ fun ~ the www.biquge.info Eighth Campaign" of the Pavilion, from a military and political point of view, believes that this is the first decisive victory with the nature of a campaign since the start of the war, and it is another great victory after the "Second and Seven Great Victories". Britain, the United States, and all sectors of society commented one after another, spoke highly of the brave and tenacious officers and men of the 19th Route Army, and for the first time analyzed the impact of this battle on the future situation from a more realistic and objective standpoint.

Just after 10 o'clock, a surprising anomaly appeared in the positions of the 44th Division around the Wusongkou Fort and on the east side of Chenjia Lane, and a group of officers and men holding high the Red Cross flag and wearing red cross and white hats on their heads slowly walked out of the trenches and advanced towards the battlefield where wisps of smoke and residual flames were still emitting from the corpses.

Seeing this, the 6th Sentai of the Japanese army in the trenches and ferry fortifications on the other side of the river hurriedly reported, and the supreme commander of the 6th Sentai Tanaka immediately called left and right after receiving the urgent report, and after nervous deliberation, he believed that there were more heroic officers and soldiers of the Imperial Army left on the battlefield, and all the units under his command also needed to be prepared to clean up the battlefield and bring back the corpses.

If both sides exercised such restraint, there would be no conflict, and both sides would be exhausted from the fight and would need to lick their wounds, especially since the Japanese could take this opportunity to wait for reinforcements from Dalian, Qingdao and the country, hoard superior forces, and then crush the opponent with a thunderous force under the cover of aircraft and naval guns. However, the small actions of a Chinese soldier and the irrational behavior of the Japanese guard sentries turned what seemed to be a humanitarian operation that would be extremely beneficial to both sides into a major war involving tens of thousands of people for a day and a night.

At 11:30 a.m., the rescue team composed of the 14th Division Engineer Regiment and the Brothers of the Baggage Transport Company basically completed the work of collecting the corpses, and most of them had already returned to the position with the corpses of the last group of brothers.

Nineteen-year-old senior soldier Zhao Gen from Henan secretly glanced at the more than 100 Japanese soldiers on the east bank who were preparing to cross the river to collect their corpses, turned to the deputy regiment commander Su Junfeng, and asked with a nervous expression:

"Deputy Commander, this is going to go...... What if the iron plate on my chest can't hold the bullets of the 38 big cover? ”

"Go, go, don't worry about it, Lao Tzu tried it himself before, and you can't penetrate it with a sniper rifle twenty meters of shooting, why are you panicking? If you hadn't been the first to sign up, you wouldn't have been able to take your turn to do this arduous and glorious task! As long as he can't kill you, Lao Tzu will promote you to a warrant lieutenant, go to the non-commissioned officer school for further study, and at least become a platoon commander when you come out. ”

Su Junfeng turned his back to the Japanese soldiers who were watching from the neck, lowered his voice, and taught the honest and honest Zhao Gen a hard lesson.

"Then what if little Japan really shoots me, not in the chest, but only in the head? I didn't wear a steel helmet......" Zhao Gen was still very nervous.

"Stupid! The other party is at least 160 meters away from you, and you think that the little Japanese devils are all sharpshooters? As soon as the gun went off, you didn't lie down obediently, Lao Tzu and your company commander carried you back together, maybe they couldn't hit you, as long as you heard the gunshot, you fell down, what are you nervous about?

Su Junfeng gritted his teeth and glared at Zhao Gen, and the engineer company commander on the side also scolded a few words in a low voice, and did not forget to observe the more than 100 Japanese soldiers who were waiting impatiently with the red cross and white flag on the other side of the river.

"Then if I hit my second child, what should I do if I can't inherit the family in this life?" Zhao Gen was still afraid.

The company commander who was five big and three thick couldn't hold back any longer, leaned up and scolded fiercely: "Go back!" I'm going to do it, that's all you have to fuck for the rest of your life......"

"I'll do it! it now! Don't be angry, company commander, I'm ...... Get out! ”

Zhao Gen tried to cheer up, walked to the ridge on the shore in three steps and two steps, shivered while untying his trousers, trembled and took out the black second child, and showed it to the Japanese army on the east bank, because he was too nervous, he couldn't pee for a while.

Zhao Gen closed his eyes in a hurry, regardless of the fact that he shouted a hometown folk song regardless of the sky, and his urinary tract was unblocked, and he flew straight down to the stunned Japanese army.

Zhao Gen was so frightened that his teeth clucked, and he couldn't pull halfway to close the valve and escape, swaying and trembling, falling in the eyes of the Japanese army, but it became a great insult to paint the garden with urine, the angry Japanese army commander finally lost control, picked up the rifle and quickly loaded, raised his hand is a shot, the bullet accurately hit the iron plate inside Zhao Gen's thick cotton jacket, Zhao Gen, who was already weak, screamed and fell back sharply, and fell heavily behind the ridge, and the regimental deputy Su Junfeng and the old company commander who walked out of a few meters immediately turned around and ran to him, raised his hands and feet and ran back.

Who knew that at this time, the Japanese army commander fired another shot at Su Junfeng, and the bullet penetrated from Su Junfeng's back waist into his left abdomen, and immediately knocked Su Junfeng to the ground, and then Zhao Gen, who fell to the ground heavily, also woke up in fright, shouted loudly to the regiment commander, and together with the old company commander, Su Junfeng, who raised his teeth and grinned, ran wildly, and was unaware of the clear voice of the commander who shouted and shot at the Japanese army on the position.

At the observation post at the front of Chenjiaxiang, Gu Changfeng put down the binoculars, shook his head, and Yan Guanhuan sighed and said Why did the ghost send the deputy of the regiment in? Only Qi Xiuping, the captain of the special brigade, and An Jin, the deputy of the team, were excited, and before Gu Changfeng gave the order, they rushed along both ends of the trench.

Twenty-five minutes later, the Japanese troops who were on guard saw that the position of the 44th Division was calm and there was no sign of retaliation, so they breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately notified the Japanese squads from Wusongkou to the Songpu River to hold high the Red Cross flag, cross the river in batches, and slowly enter the battlefield.

Boom"

Quietly advancing to the artillery battalion in the dense forest on the west bank of the Langqian River, the sixteen 75 guns fired in unison, and the powerful explosive force of the high-explosive bombs panicked the battlefield; At the same time, the sniper detachment, machine gun detachment and the officers and men of the 19th Route Army who were holding the fortress suddenly rose up and fired fiercely at the Japanese soldiers who were cleaning the battlefield and carrying the corpses, and everything stopped after 15 minutes, and the more than 200 Japanese troops who survived fled in panic, and the wounded and struggling Japanese soldiers were killed one after another under the precise blows of the snipers, and one corpse could not be brought back, but left 315 new corpses again in the center of the firefight.

When the Japanese army received the urgent report, they were furious, and Tanaka Osa could no longer care about any rest and recuperation orders and the two peace talks that were being held, so he transferred all the officers and men of the 6th Sentai Brigade who were scattered in three places into the battlefield and pressed the position of the squadron.

Japanese Consul General Murakami, Commander of the Navy's Third Fleet, Nomura, and others, who were negotiating with Chinese government officials Huang Yin and Wu Tiecheng at the British Consulate, received an urgent report and were inexplicably stunned, immediately suspended the talks, slammed the door, and returned to the Japanese Consulate to direct the war.

Seeing the resumption of the war, the hesitant Nomura quietly asked Ishikawa for his opinion, what should he do? Ishikawa sighed slightly and advised in a low voice:

The reinforcements of the 6th Army of two divisions and one brigade are coming in a blink of an eye, and a larger-scale battle is about to be touched, and our negotiations are just to delay time and make a show, if the general does not behave tougher at this time, the angry 6th Army is likely to impeach the general, and the general will consider it himself!

For the sake of his reputation, and in order not to be scorned and accused by the rude 6th Army General, Vice Admiral Nomura immediately ordered the Third Fleet under his command to launch a fierce artillery bombardment of Wusong Fort and Baoshan Town, and the commander of the Kurume Brigade, who had just returned from the feather, could not hold back the anger in his heart, and ordered the remaining more than 3,000 6 officers and soldiers under his command to join the battlefield and work with the officers and men of the 6th Sentai to break through the position on the west bank of the Songpu River of the 44th Division. A battle that surprised everyone suddenly began.

Huang Yin, Wu Tiecheng, Luo Wengan and others, who were unprepared for the resumption of the war, left the concession in despair, and immediately rushed to the headquarters of the 19th Route Army to see Jiang Guangding. , Cai Tingkai, An Yi, Dai Ji and others were all busy, nervously coping, and hurriedly asked what caused the failure of the peace effort?

Ou Shounian, the commander of the 78th Division, who had already communicated privately with An Yi, said angrily: "Our army's supplementary brothers entered the battlefield under the red cross flag to collect the bodies of the brothers killed in battle, who knew that the cruel and tyrannical Japanese army had no morality at all, shot our rescue team, and seriously injured the deputy of our army's engineering regiment and another soldier, and is still being rescued, his life is dying, and the officers and men of the supplementary division are angry and return fire, and sent more than 10 large and small warships to our Wusong Town, Baoshan Town and the front line of the fort to carry out a frantic artillery bombardment, now the fierce battle has become a stalemate, our four brigades were forced to fight, it is really unexpected!

I suspect that it was the arrival of reinforcements from the 8 countries, so they brazenly tore their faces and wanted to save face on the battlefield to avoid the bankruptcy of the myth of the invincibility of the Japanese army. ”

Wu Tiecheng, who was experienced and spicy, looked at this and that, and was puzzled, but he didn't know how to refute it. Huang Yan, who was angry with the 7 Japanese in the morning, shouted in annoyance:

"Immediately make an announcement accusing the Japanese army of atrocities, accusing them of violating humanitarianism and international law, ignoring the good will for peace and good feelings of the Chinese people, repeatedly violating the ceasefire agreement, and carrying out crazy provocations against our army!"

Luo Wengan, who has rich diplomatic experience, said in a low voice: "Although there was no agreement between the two armies to clean up the battlefield and save the dead and help the wounded, we can only deal with it in accordance with the internationally accepted method. and shameless trampling on international norms! We suggest that the situation be immediately reported to Chairman Lin, Chairman Chiang, and President Wang, and that a statement of condemnation be made as soon as possible in the name of the central government...... It's up to the generals. ”

Cai Tingkai replied confidently: "Don't worry! At present, the Japanese army on the Zhabei front line is no longer able to fight, and our army is heavily stationed on the northern front, even if the enemy is newly replenished, without two or three days of adjustment, it will not be able to pose a substantial threat to our army, and no matter how it fights, the Japanese army will not take advantage.

However, with the arrival of Japanese reinforcements, our current strength has been stretched, and there is no news of General He Jingzhi's telegram to General He Jingzhi several times to request reinforcements, and I also hope that Mayor Wu, Brother Yingbai (Huang Yingzi), and Brother Jun Ren (Luo Wenganzi) will suggest to the central government to send additional reinforcements immediately, otherwise the war situation will continue and the future will be worrying!

Well, we will now make a statement in the name of all the officers and men of the 19th Route Army, send a telegram to the whole country, accuse the Japanese army of shameless atrocities, and call on the international community to discuss it! ”

Everyone nodded in unison and acted separately, Wu Micheng suddenly appeared that An Yi, who was shaking hands with him just now, was gone, and after thinking about it, he asked Dai Ji, the commander of the Songhu garrison:

"Where has General An gone?"

"One of his special service detachments has just received a telegram that they have successfully infiltrated Chongming Island, and it is estimated that they are heading for the Japanese airstrip and oil depot in the southeast corner." Dai Ji whispered.

Wu Tiecheng was taken aback, and then sighed in a low voice: "This guy has made the Japanese grit their teeth with hatred, it seems that he is determined to stop talking!" ”

"At such a time, who can make General An stop? I'm afraid I can't sit down, alas...... Tell Brother Tiecheng another news, because General He Jingzhi did not respond to our army's call for reinforcements, General An Yi had already sent a telegram to Xiangxi and Yunnan in a fit of anger, and before you arrived, General Zhang Hongluan of Xiangxi had already called back, and the three main divisions under the command of the 44th Army would rush to the Songhu battlefield within five days, and it was estimated that the southern Sichuan garrison and Yigong's Yunnan troops would each send a main division. Dai Ji said with a solemn expression.

Wu Tiecheng shook his head: "Brother Jing doesn't do anything, I'm afraid he will become a traitor pointed out by thousands of people, the country has been weak for many years, the treasury is in high debt, and the war has caused heavy economic damage, only the Yangtze River channel is cut off, and European and American countries are crying out that they can't afford such losses, not to mention our direct belligerents?" The foolish brother knows the suffering, but he can't do anything about it
