"Red deer!! It's all a bunch of idiots, and they haven't even taken Shanghai until now! Where does this put the face of the Empire?! Rubbish! Horse manure!! ”

In Tokyo, the palace courtyard in the conference room of the military department was furious! Although the Japanese army now has an advantage in Shanghai, it is really difficult to easily take most of Fujian and Guangdong before!

The landing in Jiangsu and Zhejiang was successful, but the various militia groups and other organizations of the Nanjing army were blocking it layer by layer! It was impossible to advance or retreat, and originally thought that it would be enough for Songhu to invest only two divisions.

As a result, now that two divisions have been defeated, plus the troops that were originally going to be sent to Qingdao, they have been sent, but they are still not enough! As the saying goes, the defeat of the 701 chapter of the series led to the slowdown of the entire offensive of the Japanese army.

This is the third time that Hirohito has summoned the idle palace, and he is very dissatisfied with the changes in the current war situation in China! In particular, Xiyuanji told him about the attitude of Britain and the United States and other countries.

It would be fine if the army successfully won the territory, but now that the battle is burning, Hirohito will be impatient. Hirohito is not a fool, he naturally knows what the war potential of the "Japanese" is.

There are indeed a lot of soldiers, and there are a lot of generals. But the biggest problem is resources! Now it can be fought, almost all of them are supported by the resources that the United States secretly sells through third countries and Japan's own reserves.

But this kind of consumption can't be sustained at all! If you can't beat it again, you're going to gradually collapse. This is not what Hirohito wants to see.

"A month! We only have a month! But when he saw that in the conference room, Xian Gongyuan shouted at the generals below with red eyes: "This is the longest time that my majesty and I have been fighting for, if we can't defeat it, the entire military department will be responsible for this!" The Ministry of Foreign Affairs will take over this war in full, and you should know what we will face!! ”

All the generals were stunned at first when they heard this, and then they were in an uproar! They didn't expect that Hirohito would be so ruthless! Chapter 701 The decline can't be beaten directly, so you have to start cleaning it up, but this is reasonable.

Moreover, Hirohito still has control over all ministries. Once Hirohito comes forward to clean up, there really won't be much resistance. Everyone knows that this is their last chance......

September 5th. Baoshan City, Pugaoqiao Town, Shanghai.

"Boom! Rumble! Boom ......" Yao Ziqing of the 1st Battalion of the 583rd Regiment took his soldiers to guard here. They knew that the Lion Grove Fort had been lost. But still fight here!

Baoshan City was founded in the Ming Yongle decade. It is made of giant wood as a pile and made of soil. The construction of this mountain is really needed for shipping.

In the fourth year of Wanli, Wang Shugao, the right political soldier, built Baoshan City in the west of Baoshan, and became two years old. The circumference of the city is 495 zhang, the height is 2 zhang 6 feet 2 inches, and the four gates are all built. Enemy platforms, nests, suspension bridges, moats, etc. are all available, and are the places for garrison coastal defense.

In the 33rd year of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty, 2 kilometers northeast of Gaoqiao Town, another city was built, 4.3 hectares of square width, and the pheasant building was salty, which was specially designed to defend the sea and garrison. In the tenth year of the Qing Dynasty, the garrison offices in Haiyi and Baoshan City collapsed.

These foundations formed the basis of the defense of the 583 Regiment. That's exactly what it is. That's why they were able to withstand several Japanese attacks. But, after all, these fortifications are limited.

In the face of the modern heavy artillery, the small city was bombed to pieces.

Looking at the few people on the battlefield. Yao Ziqing was so bitter for a while that he almost cried. When I came up, there were more than 600 men in the whole battalion! Today, there are less than thirty people left.

On September 1, Yao Ziqing led 600 soldiers to defend Baoshan City. Today, it's only been five days, and how many people are left in the entire army now?!

"Ziqing has the responsibility to defend the land, and vows to live and die with Baoshan, please rest assured brigade commander!!" The voice seems to be repetitive, but things are not people......

"Sudden ......" The heavy machine guns of the Japanese army rang out again. Then the tide of troops marched along the skirmish line towards the position! Yao Ziqing couldn't remember how many times he had faced the attack of the Japanese army, and he was even numb to the onslaught of the Japanese army.

"Kill the enemy!!" When the Japanese army was in front of the killing position, Yao Ziqing let out a heart-rending roar, he dragged his broken leg and roared and hugged a bundle of grenades, "Boom!! With an explosion, he fell miserably in front of the position with shrapnel all over his body.

"Da da da......" The remnants of the soldiers of the first battalion of the 583 Regiment shot machine guns into the mountain, and Yao Ziqing coughed up blood and looked at the Japanese soldiers who rushed up. Howling like a wounded wolf! Suddenly, the grenade on his body was pulled!

"Let's all go to hell with my master! Hahaha......" In the frightened eyes of the Japanese army, Yao Ziqing suddenly burst out with a huge burst of fire! "Boom!!" , and the Japanese soldiers around him were blown into pieces......

Lu Guoquan, the commander of the 292nd Brigade of the 98th Division, held a telegram in tears, looking in the direction of Baoshan City and crying! This telegram was sent by Yao Ziqing to the brigade headquarters on the evening of the 4th.

"The Japanese are arrogant. The ship is strong and the guns are sharp! Although I am not good at fighting, I have the heart to die in battle! The lowly and the whole battalion have sworn to die with the enemy, stick to the city walls, and fight to the end! ”

However, dozens of people, with grenades and machine guns, finally held out until the early hours of the morning. The first battalion no longer has any living force. On the afternoon of the 5th, all three company commanders of the Yao battalion were killed, and six of the nine platoon commanders were killed.

At that time, Yao Ziqing ordered all the handymen, including linemen, cooks, and heralds, to go to the forward position. He, along with his guards, had been fighting on the ground for more than a day.

On September 6, the 1st Battalion of the 583rd Regiment from the officers and soldiers from the battalion commander Yao Ziqing to the firehead soldiers did not survive, and the whole battalion died......

On 8 September, the officers and men of the 98th Division suffered 4,960 casualties and more than 200 battalion company platoon commanders. The 583rd Regiment had only one position left in Yuepu, and on the same day, Lu Jingrong was promoted to the chief of staff of the 98th Division.

"There are only these people left in our 94th Division now......" Luo Zhuoying looked at Lu Jingrong and said in a deep voice.

"But this battle will go on! Why do you want to fight, you know better than me! Your appointment is for me and the chairman! I'm going to come over this appointment is very simple, you dare to fight to the death! All I want is for you to be nailed to the position, and I will not allow the Japanese army to take another step forward! ”

Lu Jingrong took a deep breath, looked at Luo Zhuoying and shouted, "Yes! The humble post knows the weight of this battle and does not dare to slack off! Thank you also for your cultivation, and you will definitely live up to the expectations of the party-state! ”

After speaking, Lu Jingrong gave Luo Zhuoying a deep military salute! Then he turned and walked out of the headquarters with the steps of a soldier. Back in Yuepu, the first thing Lu Jingrong did was to write a suicide note for the whole teacher!

Then sent to the rear, at the emergency meeting, Lu Jingrong didn't talk nonsense, and said in a deep voice directly to the remaining company platoon commanders below: "I don't say much about the truth, and I don't bother to talk nonsense!" We're going to be crucified here now! Or, die on the battlefield! Or, go back and be court-martialed! The choice is yours! ”

After speaking, Lu Jingrong left directly with a calm face. Returning to his headquarters, he hesitated for a while before he slowly picked up his pen and wrote on the somewhat crumpled letterhead: A good wife is like a meeting: The Japanese are arrogant and have bullied me several times. As a soldier, I am deeply ashamed! The current war against Japan has already begun. The husband is proud to be a pioneer and fights for the past!

This operation is extraordinary, the soldiers have the responsibility to defend the territory, do not repel the Japanese attack, and will not spare their lives! As long as you take care of your three children, I can rest assured even if I die! The paper is short and long, and the pond is still in the pond, I hope you will cherish it in your hometown!

Handwritten by Fu Jingrong, on the evening of September 8, the 26th year of the Republic of China.

On September 10, Shanghai Yuepu position.

"Chirp...... Rumble! Rumble!! Boom ......" The Japanese artillery roared wildly, and the earth seemed to be shattered! And the Japanese army on the opposite side has increased its troops by 2,000 people again and is ready to storm Yuepu!

The Yuepu position guarded by Lu Jingrong's department is not far from the mouth of the Yangtze River, there are many rivers, rice fields are vertical and horizontal, the groundwater level is high, and the field fortifications dig to about one meter underground and then burst into the water, and it is impossible to build strong fortifications at all, but at this time the position is shrouded in dense bullets and artillery fire all day long......

After the end of the "Tutu Tutu ......" shelling, a large number of Japanese troops surging along the straggler line were killing towards the position! They skillfully covered each other, and with the help of cover, they approached the position little by little.

The 98th Division was accustomed to the Japanese way of fighting, and they waited unhurriedly for the Japanese army to come, leaving only a few observation posts on the position. After the Japanese army attacked with grenadiers at a distance of 200 meters, the officers and men of the 98th Division jumped up and fought the enemy!

Each group charge was repulsed, followed by a second or third artillery fire, and a large amount of shrapnel from the explosion was everywhere in the dirt of the position.

Gradually, the commanders of the Japanese army began to get impatient! They chose the craziest method: regardless of any casualties, they resolutely stepped on the corpses in waves and killed them towards the position!

Lu Jingrong knew that he had no reinforcements. But the reality is that the ammunition of the 98th Division is getting less and less, and the casualties of the troops are increasing!

The continuous attacks of the Japanese army even made it impossible to deliver meals to the rear, and it was very difficult to drink saliva in the high temperature and heat! In the evening, it rained heavily on the position! The officers and men of the 98th Division stood in the knee-deep trenches and fought with the Japanese troops......

"Brethren! Kill the enemy!! Lu Jingrong did not hide in the rear headquarters, he chose to share weal and woe with the officers and soldiers, standing in a muddy position and calmly facing all this. Command the battle and boost morale!

He braved the low-flying bombardment strafing and intensive artillery fire of enemy planes, patrolled the position from time to time, shouted to kill the enemy, and never took a step back!

At noon, he returned to his headquarters with a pale face, picked up the phone, and said in a deep voice to Nie Chuzhong, the commander of the 98th Division, who was still worried about the position: "Don't worry, division! People are in the position! Die to the death!! ”

"Boom!!" As soon as these words fell, the heavy artillery of the Japanese army hit the headquarters......

Lu Jingrong collapsed in his command post, blood splattered all over his body, and he was still clutching the telephone in his hand...... (To be continued!!
