Chapter 489: Heartbreaking

In the hurried footsteps, the chief of staff of the Ninghu Dispatch Army, Xiǎo Ze Zhiichiro Dazuo, had already walked in with a solemn expression, and immediately suddenly retracted his feet and said uprightly: "Your Excellency Commander, the Taiwan side has sent an urgent telegram that more than 20 B-17 Flying Fortress bombers stationed at Songshan Airport have taken off, and more than 100 -51 Mustang fighters have taken off at the same time. ”

"What!?" Teng Tian Zhiyan's expression suddenly froze, "The B-17 bomber group has taken off?" ”

"Hello." Xiǎo Zedazuo suddenly bowed his head and said, "It seems that the Zhina army is about to start attacking in the early hours of this morning." ”

Teng Tian Zhi took a deep breath and asked in a quiet tone, "Xiǎo Zejun, do you think the imperial army can hold it?" ”

Xiǎo Ze Dazuo was silent, in fact, this question does not need to be answered at all, as early as half a month ago, the General Staff of the Dispatch Army has carried out a full range of war games, even the most optimistic estimate, the Imperial Japanese Army will not be able to hold Shanghai, and the defeat of Nanjing can be said to be an inevitable end, the only suspense is to be able to support a few days?

In fact, Teng Tian Zhi only asked subconsciously, not that he was not unclear about the situation.

After a while, Teng Tian Zhi's eyes gradually bloomed with a hideous fierce glow, and he turned back to Xiǎo Ze Dazuo and said, "Xiǎo Zejun, how are you preparing for the things you are preparing?" ”

Xiǎo Ze Dazuo said awe-inspiringly: "Your Excellency, Commander, are you sure you want to do this?" ”

Tengtian Zhi asked rhetorically, "Xiǎo Zejun, do you have any better way?" ”

"Your Excellency, Commander, please carefully consider the consequences of this matter." Xiǎo Zeda Sayi fearlessly met Tengtian Zhi's hideous and fierce eyes, and said solemnly, "Even if we tie up the people of China in Shanghai to the shore defense position, it will never be able to stop the advance of the China army, but will only completely anger them, in case it ......."

Xiǎo Ze Dazuo said this, and said: "I mean, in the event that the empire is finally defeated, the Shina army, which has been completely enraged, will inevitably vent its anger and anger on the heads of the people of the empire, and when the time comes, the empire will probably shed blood like a river, and millions of Yamato's people will be burned to the ground because of our barbaric acts!" ”

"Yaga! Baga Yalu! Tengtian Zhi was furious, opened his bow left and right and slapped Xiǎo Ze Dazuo twice loudly, and then roared extremely fiercely, "The Empire will never be defeated, how can the Great Japanese Empire lose to the Shina?" Yours, do as I say immediately, but something goes wrong, it's dead, it's dead! ”

"Hello." Xiǎo Ze Dazuo bowed his head suddenly, and then went away with an expressionless face.

Seeing Xiǎo Ze Dazuo's figure go away, Teng Tian Zhi suddenly took out his saber again, cut off a corner of the mahogany Taipan table in front of him, and immediately laughed fiercely: "The people of Zhina, the humble and ignorant Zhina pig, Shanghai will never be lost, and the Imperial Japanese Army will make you pay, hahaha......"

…………

Chuanshakou, the Japanese shore defense position.

A ghost soldier was leaning on the trench and humming a Japanese song, and the desolate singing sound was heard far away under the night sky, and the ghost soldiers within dozens of meters were awakened one after another, and they all looked gloomy when they listened carefully.

The all-out war between China and Japan has been going on for six whole years.

Up to now, the devil jīng rui of the first batch of seventeen permanent divisions who served as the vanguard of the invasion of China has long been exhausted, and most of the follow-up supplements are reserves, reserves, or two devils recruited from North Korea and Taiwan, and the psychological endurance of these devil soldiers and the god of bushido are naturally not comparable to the old devils of the previous two years.

As far as the current devil soldiers, if the war goes well, then it is okay to say, but once the war does not go well or the situation is unfavorable, the mood of the troops will immediately fail, since Taiwan was lost, the squadron gathered in the Zhoushan Islands and sent bombers to bomb the Japanese fortifications in the Ninghu area every day, the morale of the Japanese troops in Ninghu and Shanghai has quickly plummeted.

By now, the war-weariness within the Japanese army has been very serious, in the final analysis, xiǎo devils are also people, if there is still hope of winning the war, they naturally look forward to opening up territory for the empire, and they can also make contributions, but now that the war is obviously no longer possible, not many people hope that this war will continue.

Before I knew it, the devil soldiers in the trenches began to sing together, and the most familiar folk song in Japan "Sakura".

Cherry blossoms! Cherry blossoms!

In the twilight season, the sky will dawn, the glow will shine and smile, the white clouds will rise for thousands of miles, and the beautiful fragrance will drift in the wind.

Go and see the flowers! Go and see the flowers! Look at the flowers as soon as possible.

Cherry blossoms! Cherry blossoms!

Under the clear sky in March, cherry blossoms are in the sky. It is like a cloud, and the fragrance is picturesque.

Come on! Come on! Let's go to enjoy the flowers.

The mournful song drifted farther and farther under the night sky, and more and more devil soldiers joined the chorus.

Singing and singing, many devil soldiers began to cry, and a few xiǎo devils who were still in their teens couldn't cry even more, just muttering "mother" and "mother" vigorously in their mouths, as if death was already beckoning to him, but he was not at all mentally prepared to sacrifice his life for His Majesty the Emperor......

The louder and louder singing finally alarmed the officers who were hiding in the bunkers to drink and relieve their boredom.

A devil captain with a striking scar on his face rushed out of the bunker, and immediately took out his saber sonorously, and roared murderously: "Don't sing, don't sing!" Who dares to sing again, die, die, die! With that, Captain Scar kicked over the crying devil soldier who was close to him.

The xiǎo devil soldier who was kicked to the ground was still singing "Cherry Blossoms" obsessively.

Captain Scar was furious, and when he was slashing the devil soldiers, a faint roar of the engine suddenly came from the sea in the distance, and Captain Scar suddenly felt a pang in his heart, this old devil has participated in many battles, just listening to this voice, he can be sure that the allied warships with large tonnage are approaching!

"Yaga!" Captain Scar hurriedly put the knife back into its sheath, and pulled out the Wang Ba box and shot two shots at the sky.

Taking advantage of the stunned ghost soldiers nearby, Captain Scar roared angrily: "Allied warships, there are Allied warships approaching, hurry back, hurry up and ......."

Before the words fell, a series of loud noises suddenly erupted on the ocean in the distance.

Captain Scar looked back in shock, only to see that fireworks had bloomed on the surface of the Oriental Ocean, and countless Ambilights were carrying the hustle and bustle of the sky, roaring towards the Japanese coastal defense position at Chuanshakou.

Many devil soldiers who had been on the battlefield followed and hid in the trenches and climbed into the anti-artillery dòng.

However, more of the ghost soldiers who had never been on the battlefield or had never really fought with the squadron were still standing on the edge of the trench in a daze, stupidly looking at the brilliant lights coming from the sky in the distance, many of them were almost fifty years old, but they had never seen such gorgeous fireworks bloom.

The first fireworks of the "Boom ......" finally landed on the shore defense position, and then exploded with a bang.

After the explosion, a huge pit was immediately left in front of the trench, with a diameter of one or twenty meters, and more than a dozen devil soldiers were directly hit by the fireworks, and were instantly thrown into the air by the huge qi làng, and then the air disintegrated, turning into a rain of blood and scattered all over the ground, I am afraid that even half a finger will not be neat.

Is it child's play for the main guns of battleships and cruisers? One or two tons of armor-piercing bullets weighing 7 or 800 meters per second smashed over, and no matter how strong the shore fortifications were, they would be finished! At this moment, the devil soldiers hiding in the shore fortifications could only pray to Amaterasu, praying that the fortifications where they were hiding would not be directly hit by the guns of the allied ships.

When the naval bombardment lasted less than half a month, the eastern sky gradually brightened.

At this time, the bomber group and fighter group that had taken off from Taipei's Songshan Airport also arrived, and immediately launched wanton and indiscriminate bombardment of the Japanese coastal fortifications in the Chuanshakou, Shishilin, and Zhanghuabin areas, and dozens of Zero fighters risked their lives to take off into the air in an attempt to hunt down the Allied bombers, but they were overwhelmed by the Mustang planes escorting the escort in an instant.

A small number of Japanese high-altitude guns arranged in the depth of the position desperately opened fire, but they failed to shoot down any of the Allied bombers, but instead attracted dozens of Mustang fighters loaded with rockets.

After about half a dozen hours, the sky finally dawned completely.

The infantry who had been waiting for a long time began to climb down the soft ladder to board the transport boat, the U.S. Navy naval guns began to extend the shelling of the Japanese positions in depth, and the B-17 bomber group began to return, with only a small number of -51 Mustang fighters remaining in the operational airspace to continue to be on guard in waiting for the arrival of the second group of supporting air forces.

In less than ten minutes, hundreds of medium- and xiǎo-type transport boats were already approaching the beachhead.

The few Japanese anti-aircraft artillery fires failed to cause much trouble to the transports.

At this time, the level of the devil soldiers, whether it was the first-line infantry, or the second-line artillery, armored troops, aviation and other technical arms, had seriously declined, but the Chinese Air Force was thriving in actual combat.

Almost no decent resistance, more than 2,000 infantry and more than 20 tanks of the first attack echelon rushed to the beachhead, at this time, the devil soldiers who had been blown up finally crawled out of the underground bunker and began to block the squadron with machine gun fire, and the tragic beach-grabbing landing battle officially began.

Although the quality of the Japanese soldiers had seriously declined and their morale was very low, the strong shore fortifications built by Okamura Ninji during his tenure still caused great casualties, and it was almost noon that the first attack echelon finally gained a firm foothold on the beachhead, but it also paid a heavy price of more than half of the casualties.

…………

Off the coast of Wusongkou, USS Iowa of the U.S. Navy.

Major General Chi Chengfeng, commander of the 33rd Division of the Shiye Division, was standing on the deck watching the battle with a telescope in his hand.

Originally, Liu Yi had already decided to let Li Yilong's 31st Division fight the main attack, but Chi Chengfeng insisted on snatching the honor of this "main attack" from the 31st Division, and also made a big fuss at the group army headquarters, like a scoundrel, Liu Yi couldn't resist him, so he had to wronged Li Yilong and gave Chi Chengfeng's 33rd Division the task of attacking Shanghai.

In the hurried footsteps, Zhou Mantian, chief of staff of the 33rd Division, had already strode over: "Division, the 3rd Battalion of the 97th Regiment has taken the lead in breaking through the shore fortifications at Chuanshakou, and the follow-up engineer regiment is rushing to repair the beachhead, and the 98th Regiment, the armored regiment and the artillery regiment of the second echelon are also about to go ashore." ”

"Good!" Chi Chengfeng said fiercely, "His grandmother's, xiǎo devil is dead!" ”

Chi Chengfeng is not boasting, as long as the artillery regiment and armored regiment of the 33rd Division go ashore, the devil will not want to drive them into the sea again, with the current equipment and firepower configuration of the Japanese army, it is not at the same level as the 33rd Division at all, to say that it is an exaggeration, now the firepower of a battalion of the 33rd Division is almost equivalent to a mixed brigade of the Japanese army.

Of course, the equipment and firepower of the Japanese forces in the Far East are another matter, that is another matter.

After that, Chi Chengfeng put down the binoculars again and said with great emotion: "It's been six years, it's been six years, and Lao Tzu has finally come back!" Before the words fell, Chi Chengfeng knelt down on the deck again, raised his hand and roared to the sky, "Camp, camp, have you seen it?" Our battalion has returned, and we will avenge you and your dead brethren!" ”

Vaguely, Chi Chengfeng's eyes floated in front of him again when Yao Changqing's camp had just entered Baoshan County.

Six years ago, the Battle of Songhu was really miserable, the planes bombed in the sky, and there were large-caliber naval artillery bombardments in the open sea, and the artillery of various calibers and models of the devils was bombarded in Baoshan County without money, and the county seat of Baoshan was full of ruins and broken walls, and there were broken limbs and bodies everywhere, and the soldiers were using their bloody bodies to resist the devils' aircraft artillery.

If it weren't for Mr. Yue's order, the more than 600 people in the battalion would only be afraid that the whole camp would be there.

The chief of staff was also embarrassed, he naturally knew that Chi Chengfeng had participated in the first Battle of Songhu, and he was the first batch of old subordinates to follow Mr. Yue, in the Battle of Songhu, they created a miracle, not only blew up the arsenal of the Japanese army, but also held the Sixing warehouse for dozens of days, which greatly encouraged the whole people!

…………

Chuanshakou, beachhead.

With a large number of construction machinery being transported ashore, the efficiency of the engineering regiment has increased greatly, just after noon, the forward headquarters, field hospitals and munitions warehouses have been set up one after another, and the 98th regiment of the second echelon has taken over the 99th regiment of the third echelon has also landed.

Two Japanese counterattacks were also repulsed, and everything seemed to be going well.

However, Colonel Zhang Hao, commander of the 98th Regiment, who was commanding operations at the forward position, always felt uneasy; although the Japanese troops in the Ninghu area had reached the end of their ropes, although they were no longer what they used to be, and the results of the beach-rushing landing battle were basically in line with the comparison of strength between the two sides, Colonel Zhang Hao always felt faintly uneasy in his heart.

There is no reason, this is purely a gut feeling, a soldier's keen intuition about danger!

Could it be that the Japanese army is in ambush ahead? Colonel Zhang Hao quickly overturned his speculation, after all, this is Songhu, China's territory, not to mention that there are reconnaissance planes of the Chinese Air Force in the sky, and there are even more pervasive Chinese intelligence officers on the ground.

If it's not an ambush, then what danger will it be?

When Colonel Zhang Hao was meditating on the map, there was a sudden sound of footsteps behind him.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Colonel Zhang Hao turned around, but saw the regimental political commissar Li Yuting staggering in, Li Yuting's face looked unusually pale, and the whole person was trembling slightly, it seemed to be because of fear, more like because of excessive anger, Colonel Zhang Hao suddenly felt a pang in his heart, Li Yuting is an old man who has been through a hundred battles, what made him like this?

"Commissar, what's wrong with you?" Colonel Zhang Hao greeted Li Yuting and said worriedly, "Who made you angry like this?" ”

Li Yuting shook his head and said incoherently: "Lao Zhang, you better go and see it yourself, you better go and see it yourself." ”

Colonel Zhang Hao walked into the observation post next to him with some suspicion, bent down and looked ahead through the artillery mirror, and suddenly gasped at a glance, this dog's devil is really crazy!

…………

Off the coast of Wusongkou, the deck of the Iowa.

When Chi Chengfeng was facing the direction of Baoshan County, Zhou Mantian, the chief of staff, hurriedly walked over again.

"Master, something happened!" Before saluting, Zhou Mantian reported with a miserable expression, "The advance command reports that the Xiǎo devils have kidnapped thousands of compatriots and launched a counterattack against our army with these compatriots as hostages, and the 98th Regiment has retreated again and again, and it is about to retreat to the front edge of the advance base, Zhang Hao and Li Yuting ask for instructions, what should they do?" ”

"What do you say? Thousands of hostages!? "Chi Chengfeng is also instantly petrified.

"This shit's xiǎo devil is really crazy!" Zhou Mantian became more and more miserable, "Division, is it reported to the group army headquarters?" ”

"Report a fart, it's too late!" Chi Chengfeng didn't ghost the battlefield general, and after a little shock, he quickly regained his composure.

"Master, then you should hurry up and get an idea." Zhou Mantian hurriedly said, "If you don't give any more orders, the devils will rush into the advance base, and then the troops will be driven into the sea, and all the equipment, munitions, medical equipment and construction machinery that have come ashore will all become the trophies of the devils, and a large number of people will be captured!" ”

"His grandmother's!" The muscles on Chi Chengfeng's face twitched violently, and then he roared in a vicious voice, "Order the troops, do everything possible to rescue the hostages, if there is really no chance...... Indiscriminate shè hit! The last five words, Chi Chengfeng almost choked out from between his teeth, and it was so cold that it made people tremble.

"Yes!" Zhou Mantian stood upright, and immediately took the order.

"Dog day xiǎo devil!" Seeing Zhou Mantian's figure go away, Chi Chengfeng knelt on the deck again, and kowtowed nine times in the direction of Chuanshakou, until the military hat fell off and his forehead was bleeding, Chi Chengfeng cried silently, "Fathers and fellow villagers, don't complain about our old Chi's ruthlessness, this is also a last resort...... But don't worry, your blood will never be shed in vain, one day, Lao Tzu will lead the troops into Tokyo and kill him like a river of blood! ”

…………

Chuanshakou, the forward position.

More than 6,000 devil infantry of two wings are holding more than 3,000 innocent civilians hostage, and they are marching towards the forward base in front of them.

In the face of the hostages, artillery and tanks were all furnished.

The planes in the sky swooped down again and again, and pulled up again and again, crying out in vain.

The thousands of officers and men who had "retreated" from the forward positions had already gathered into a straggler line, armed with rifles, submachine guns, bazookas, or pistols, and the hostages and devil soldiers on the opposite side were no more than 100 meters away, but they never dared to shoot and fire, only the devil soldiers fired unscrupulously during the march.

In the crisp sound of gunfire like popping beans, from time to time, soldiers were shot and fell backwards.

In the face of such a sad and helpless scene, the pilots in the sky almost crushed their steel teeth, and the artillery and armored soldiers on the ground just slammed their heads into the steel equipment beside them, and they didn't know that they were bleeding from their heads, and the officers and men in the front-line positions could only hold their guns in the air and retreated back in a daze.

"Lie down, folks, lie down!" A second lieutenant suddenly yelled.

However, the vast majority of the hostages were held hostage by the devil soldiers, and they couldn't lie down at all, although a small number of hostages got rid of the hostage and lay down on the ground, but without exception they were slaughtered by the devil soldiers.

Behind him was the advance base, and the retreating officers and soldiers finally stopped.

The hostages who had been taken were obviously discovered, and the officers and soldiers on the opposite side had no way to retreat, and after a while, many hostages who knew that they could not be spared began to clamor for a lifetime, and the grass grew in autumn, and in the end, who could escape to death? Instead of doing something that will bring disaster to the country and the people today, and repent for the rest of your life in guilt in the coming day, it is not to simply die with the xiǎo devil!

"Boss, shoot, I've lived sixty-eight years old, and it's worth it to die, but you're still young!"

"Yes, let's shoot, boss, don't let these shitty devils be arrogant anymore, please."

"Big brother, shoot quickly, remember to give me a word to the man, he didn't disgrace him in the house, let him avenge me no matter what, my man is from the 91st Regiment of the 31st Division, his name is Cao Datou."

There are those who are angry, and naturally there are those who plead, but the officers and soldiers who have no way to retreat are at a loss for each other.

Who would dare to shoot without an order from above? Besides, how can they do it in the face of their compatriots?

Isn't being a soldier fighting a war just to protect your family and defend your country? What is to protect the family and defend the country, isn't it to protect the group of defenseless compatriots in front of us? If you can't even protect your own compatriots, then what kind of war will you fight, what kind of soldier will you be? Just go home and farm and hold the doll, or simply plant it yourself, so as not to be embarrassed to live in this world.

In the advance headquarters, Zhang Hao hung up the phone heavily, and immediately opened his blood-red eyes, and roared hoarsely at Li Yuting beside him: "Order the troops, indiscriminately!" ”

…………

Zhoushan, headquarters of the 3rd Army.

Liu Yi and Song Renping have become ants on a hot pot in a hurry, since half a year ago, all the news from the 33rd Division was suddenly interrupted, several calls to inquire, but there was no response, in a hurry, Liu Yi ordered to skip the level and directly contact the regiments of the 33rd Division, but there was no news, just when Liu Yi was so anxious that he was about to jump into the sea, Chi Chengfeng finally replied.

After reading the telegram, Song Renping's face changed in an instant, and he became pale and pale.

Liu Yi's heart sank suddenly, and he said awe-inspiringly: "Political commissar, did you fail to land on the beach?" ”

"No, the 98th Regiment is already close to downtown Shanghai." Song Renping shook his head, and then sighed gloomily, "It's not ......."

In the end, Song Renping's voice was obviously a little choked, and he couldn't go on, so he had to hand the telegram in his hand to Liu Yi, Liu Yi took the telegram with a suspicious expression, and after reading it in a hurry, his face suddenly changed, and he immediately sat down on the chair in a dejected manner, unable to speak for a long time.

Slaughtering compatriots, Chi Chengfeng actually slaughtered compatriots!

Chi Chengfeng on this dog day actually did it to his compatriots! How can he do it!?

Also, such a big incident, such a serious incident, why didn't he report it to the army group command? How dare he make decisions on his own? Who gave him this power, and what power does he have to decide the life and death of more than 3,000 compatriots? This executioner who deserves a thousand knives, I, Liu Yi, will definitely send you to a military court, and the general seat will not be able to save you!

After a long time, Song Renping said: "Commander, although the massacre of compatriots is outrageous, it is ...... given the situation at that time."

"Don't tell me this!" Liu Yi immediately burst into a rage and shouted hysterically, "I don't want to hear it, no matter what the reason, as a soldier, how can you shoot at your own compatriots!?" Shame, this is simply the shame of the soldiers, the shame of the five million soldiers in China, the shame that can never be washed away! ”

…………

Yangon, Siye Command.

After Mr. Zuo finished reading the telegram, the entire war room suddenly fell into a deathly silence.

Yue Weihan's face also turned white suddenly, and the careful Deng Gong noticed that a trace of red blood was slowly overflowing from the corner of his mouth, but it was quickly wiped off by Yue Weihan with a white glove, and after a long time, Yue Weihan gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "Call Liu Yi back, the commander of the 33rd Division, Chi Chengfeng, will be in the army to the end, and he will be retained as a major general!" ”

…………

Xi'an, Military Commission Building.

Mr. Zhu's expression was grim, and Zhou Gong's face turned pale with anger, but his expression was solemn, and he just smoked fiercely, but he didn't immediately express his opinion, and it wasn't until the two cigarettes were finished that he opened his eyes slightly, and said meaningfully: "War has its own cruelty and unpredictable, and sometimes, local sacrifices are inevitable." ”

"How can you win without sacrifice? In order to win this decisive battle for the life and death of the Chinese nation, have we not already sacrificed tens of millions of people? After saying this, ** added, "However, we still have to ask the Propaganda Department to release a radio draft accusing the Japanese of anti-human acts!" ”
