In the afternoon, after Chen Fuqin's Second Front changed course from Nanjing, the resistance disappeared completely. Although there are still many clans that do not buy the account of the southwest, they are powerless in the face of tens of thousands of troops. In order to maintain the speed of the march, Chen Fuqin did not wait for the tanks behind, the troop transport trucks had been moving at high speed, and there was no time to wait for the tanks at all. Although the tanks of the People's Army are very good, there will be some problems in such a long-distance attack, and there will be no suitable train to carry the tanks at once, so they can only mobilize trains from Hubei to Nanjing to meet them, and then directly transport the tanks to Shanghai, where the current tank troops are still staying in Nanjing. I had been quickly approaching Nanjing from Hubei before, and I needed to be overhauled, and by the way, I was also there waiting for the arrival of the train.

In order to march quickly, although the tanks were not carried, most of the artillery of the Second Front Army followed the Fourth Army to Shanghai, and the Fourth Army at this time had only 30,000 or 40,000 infantry, and the rest were artillery. Chen Fuqin was in the marching army at this time, and the remaining army would be in charge of logistics and then arrive.

After looking at their watches, they had already rushed to Zhenjiang at this time, but they didn't know where the Japanese army would land, but fortunately, there was still a military in Shanghai at this time. Just when the bald head was electrified and changed his tune, Chen Fuqin also got in touch with their army commander Xue Yue. Xue Yue also attached great importance to the information given by the Second Front Army, and said that he would not let a Japanese ashore. Waiting for the arrival of the Second Front.

After Xue Yue received the news, he attached great importance to it, but now he only had one army in his hands, and he didn't know where the other party was going to land. The equipment is not bad, it is all Japanese-style equipment sold by Chen Shao, but there is not much ammunition. When he brought forward the news that there was not much ammunition to the Second Front Army, Chen Fuqin, after asking where his troops were now deployed, directly said, tell him to wait, and he will ask someone to send it to him. Chen Fuqin quickly gave an answer, Xue Yue didn't expect the other party to be so easy to talk to, and he didn't have to bargain like in Nanjing before. However, on the point of how the other party sent the ammunition, Xue Yue still had some doubts in his heart, now that their troops were still in Zhenjiang, it would take several hours to get here, how could they send ammunition to themselves?

For the landing site of the Japanese army, Xue Yue thought for a long time, and directly chose the Baoshan area, which is not far from downtown Shanghai, and there is a small fortress there. The Baoshan beach is open, which is very suitable for landing. The size of the Japanese landing force was so large, and the chances of landing there were great. When they sent a report to the Second Front Army, they were also directly asked to send ammunition to the Baoshan area.

Xue Yue did not despise the Japanese army of a brigade in Hongkou, and directly placed a division on the periphery, where there were other leases, presumably the Japanese army did not dare to be too arrogant. The remaining two divisions were all pulled to Baoshan and built a beachhead defensive position.

Just as the soldiers of Xue Yuejun's army were digging defensive positions, a middle-aged man came here with a large number of workers and civilians. Everyone also carried tools like hoes and shovels in their hands. The soldiers standing guard did not dare to make assertions, so they could only report to the top.

Xue Yue, who got the news, hurriedly came, looked at the black crowd in front of him, and said excitedly: "Folks, I thank you." It's just that the war is the business of our professional soldiers, so go back! The sentry post did not report clearly, and Xue Yue thought that these people were here to help him defend his position.

"No, you are Commander Xue, I am the top director of Longteng Group in Shanghai. Some of these are employees of our company, some people who have received the news, and some reporters from domestic and foreign newspapers. We are not here to fight devils, we just want to help you dig trenches, so that the soldiers can maintain good physical strength, so that they can have better strength to fight devils. At this time, it was rumored that Japan was going to attack Shanghai on a large scale, and the officers and men of an army also began to build positions in the Baoshan area. Chen Shao specially asked people to publicize all this, and he was not at all worried about whether the Japanese landing force would land in the Baoshan area. Even if they didn't plan to land in the Baoshan area before, they would land in Baoshan instead of such a publicity. Chen Shao is still very confident in Japan's point, and the defeat in Jinan has made Japan questioned, and only a big victory can save Japan's face. If Japan does not land at Baoshan, it can only show that Japan is afraid of the defense of the Chinese side, and outsiders will think that Japan will not dare to engage the Chinese side head-on, and this will make Japan's diplomacy very passive. This is Chen Shao's plan for Japan, that is, to force you to land in Baoshan. Moreover, at the same time, Chen Shao also notified a lot of domestic and foreign media that they could go to the battlefield to cover and watch the battle between the two sides. This can put a certain amount of pressure on Japan, and they do not dare to attack too unscrupulously. This can be regarded as a better protection of Shanghai from the destruction of Japan. Japan will not bomb civilians or factories despite international media pressure.

In later generations, the entire industrial area of Shanghai was basically bombed by the Japanese during the 128 Incident. Although the time is four years ahead, who knows if Japan will be chaotic. These Chen Shao didn't dare to gamble, so he could only avoid such an incident as much as possible.

At this time, Xue Yue also reflected that his feelings were misunderstood, and the truth also moved him very much.

"Okay, on behalf of the whole army, thank you for your help." Xue Yue bowed deeply to the people: "I, Xue Yue, have nothing to repay, I can only kill more Japanese devils on the battlefield to repay everyone." ”

After speaking, Xue Yue instructed an adjutant to take these people directly in, and asked the soldiers to teach the people who came to help them how to dig trenches.

After the arrangement, those reporters also surrounded Xue Yue, just now they were behind the people, and after the people all went in, they had a chance to get close to Xue Yue.

A reporter who declared first spoke: "General Xue, may I ask if you have now been attached to the southwest?" ”

"Yes." There is no need for Xue Yue to deny this question.

"General Xue, do you think you can hold this place?" A British journalist asked.

"I don't dare to say whether we can hold it now, but if the Japanese army wants to cross Baoshan, it will not destroy us all. We will not give up until the last soldier. After Xue Yue finished speaking, he didn't stay here anymore, he turned around and left, and those reporters wanted to catch up, but they were blocked by the guards. Now Xue Yue is not in the mood to accept the so-called interview, he still has a lot of things to do.

By the time Xue Yue arrived at the position, the people and the employees of the Longteng Group began to dig fortifications under the guidance of the soldiers. At this time, the middle-aged man who took the lead just now came over again, glanced at Xue Yue, and motioned for the person next to him to pull away.

Xue Yue was a little curious about what the other party was going to do, but he still motioned to the guards around him to stay away.

After everyone walked away, the middle-aged man said to Xue Yue: "Commander Xue, our boss hopes that you can hold out for at least two hours." In an hour, a supply will arrive, and our southwestern air force will be here to help you until our main force arrives, and your mission will be complete. ”

The middle-aged man's words made Xue Yue not reflect it for a while, who was the boss he was talking about, and his tone was the same as the order, could it be the one in the southwest?

"Your boss is Chen Shao, chairman of the southwest?"

The middle-aged man nodded and said, "Actually, there are some things that Commander Xue can know, our boss values Commander Xue very much, and he told me something to let you know." Longteng Group is Chen Shao, chairman of the southwest government, and he is not an American, there is nothing wrong with James being our boss, but Chairman Chen is James's boss, so does Commander Xue understand? ”

Xue Yue nodded in surprise, and just as he was about to say something, the middle-aged man said mysteriously: "The main force I just mentioned not only refers to the troops that rushed to Commander Chen Fuqin, but also a more powerful force on the way. ”

"What power?" You can't blame Xue Yue for being curious, which of the warlords in the country is not curious about the southwest, and now what the other party said is related to himself, so he has to ask.

The middle-aged man walked into Xue Yue's ear and whispered, "Our boss has built a naval fleet for ten years, and they are already on their way to Shanghai at this time. ”

Now Chen Shao already plans to make public part of his strength, and to make public his strength can also allow other countries to take a good look at the current China, which is no longer the China of the past, and must have the status of China on the world stage. Originally, I thought about talking about it in two years, but the plan couldn't catch up with the changes, so I could only show my muscles now. And Little Japan is the stepping stone for Chen Shao to step onto the world stage.

As for Xue Yue, it won't be long before he knows, telling him now is also to give him a booster and make him more confident in the face of the Japanese devil's offensive.

When Xue Yue heard the middle-aged man's words, he hurriedly asked, "What fleet?" How powerful? "In the past, when the warlords were fighting, many warlords had their own fleets, but what kind of fleet was it, they were all small ships, only a few ironclad ships, and they were all hundreds of tons of things, and in the face of foreign warships, it was not enough to see!

"I can only say that it is very powerful, even stronger than the Japanese Third Fleet that came to China this time." The middle-aged man didn't plan to say anything after speaking, these were enough. Regardless of Xue Yue, who was still shocked with his mouth open, he turned around and left directly.

Looking at the middle-aged man who was far away, Xue Yue came to his senses. For his words, Xue Yue did not disbelieve it. It's just that this little news is too shocking, if you put hundreds of planes and a big ship together to show the Chinese. They will only pay attention to the big ships, and after the First Sino-Japanese War, the land of China has completely lost its coastal defense for several decades. Now it is known that there is also a powerful navy in China, and it is stronger than one of the Japanese fleets. If such news is known to the Chinese people, it will definitely be stronger than a 12-magnitude earthquake. Japan claims to be the No. 1 navy in Asia, and this is not for nothing. Xue Yue has also seen warships from many countries in Shanghai, and there are still many foreign warships in Shanghai now, but among those warships, Japan's warships are the largest. Now that he learned that his future leader had built a fleet that could rival Japan, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "Everyone has been defeated unjustly!!!! ”
