"Little deflated three! Dare to hit my son?! I'm telling you! My Zhao San can help the Imperial Army now! Let him know that this little bastard of yours actually touched his son, and see if he can kill you! "In a small village on the outskirts of Shanghai, a woman about 30 years old scolds a mother and son with her waist in her arms.

The mother and son's clothes are very shabby, with a lot of patches. The mother hugged a young child in her arms and said softly: "Aunt Zhao, the child is not sensible......"

"I know that your family is a wild seed without a tutor! Look at this little bastard, how dare you steal something from my kids! It's against him! The aunt of the Zhao family glared at the thin child viciously and said fiercely.

"It's Zhao who came to rob me! It's not me who robs him!! The emaciated child Chapter 696 Secret Battle (II) was unconvinced in his mother's arms and said loudly: "I'm not a wild seed!" Don't scold my mother! ”

But I saw that the Zhao family's aunt suddenly pounced on her teeth and claws, and fiercely slammed at the child whose cheeks were sunken, "Smack!" It's a slap in the face!

"Little wild seed! Dare to fight back?! Dare to fight back?! But seeing that the mother wearing a patch saw her son being beaten and hurriedly protected the child, and the Zhao family's aunt did not hesitate to smash the mother's back.

"Aunt Zhao...... The child is not sensible......"

"I don't think you're sensible! I'm telling you, don't want to give the old lady just a little bit of it! When my Zhao San comes back, see if I don't pick the skin of your two hillbillies! ”

After fighting for a while, the Zhao family's aunt seemed to be tired and panting, and said viciously to the mother: "I'll tell you!" The imperial army now occupies Guangdong and Jiangsu and Zhejiang! Shanghai is fighting! My family Zhao San is helping, and an official position will be indispensable in the future! Let's see if I don't let my family Zhao San kill you when the time comes! ”

And beside the aunt of the Zhao family, a fat boy who was about seven or eight years old and wearing a homespun shirt grabbed a sweet potato, also said viciously: "That's it!" My dad is helping the Imperial Army! When the time comes, I'll take a gun with him in Chapter 696 Secret Battle (Part II) and smash your dog's head! Especially you! Zhou Qi! You're the first to die! ”

The two mothers and sons scolded and turned to leave. Left behind the miserable mother and son......

"Boom! Rumble!! Boom ...... "The battle in Shanghai is still going on, and the 36th Division has arrived in Nanxiang and is immediately engaged in fierce fighting!"

On the 18th, the 36th Division had arrived at the starry night and arrived in the Wujiazhai area in the northern suburbs of Shanghai, and then a fierce encounter broke out with the Japanese army!

"Rumble...... Japanese troops, under the cover of tanks, launched a frantic attack on the positions of the 36th Division! In the midst of the artillery fire, countless masonry and dust were lifted!

"Sudden ......" in the roar of machine guns. The shouts and battles on the battlefield! Blood had already stained the battlefield, and countless pale corpses were exposed to the ground.

A few men whose stomachs were pierced through their intestines roared and held a bundle of grenades and pounced on the Japanese tanks! But then he was knocked to the ground by the machine gun "Tutu ......" on the Japanese tank.

"Boom!" With a loud bang, the tank was spared the result of being bombed into fireworks. But the track was still blown up. The sound of the gears constantly "Lang Dang ............

On the other hand, the 106th Brigade of the 36th Division continued to attack southward, and advanced to the line of Shajing Port, Yuezhou Road, and Kunming Road at dawn, and its left flank had been connected with the 87th Division.

Subsequently, Zhang Zhizhong personally went to the headquarters of the 87th Division in Jiangwan to command the operation, and formulated a favorable situation with the 87th Division and the 36th Division as the main force to break into the Yangshupu concession and enter the Yuezhou Road, and then his main force attacked Huishan Wharf. Achieve a central breakthrough, cut off the connection between the left and right flanks of the Japanese army, and then roll the attack on both flanks.

To this end, he assigned six British-made Vickers 6-ton light tanks from the 1st and 2nd Tank Battalions of the Armored Regiment Tank Battalion, which had just arrived from Nanjing, to the 36th Division of the New Army, and to the 87th Division with the training battalion equipped with German-made 37-mm anti-aircraft guns, so as to further strengthen its assault force.

Xingang, headquarters of the 36th Division.

The division commander Song Xilian said in a deep voice to the chief of staff next to him: "How is the situation now?!" ”

"It's not good...... Xiang Xianju said in a deep voice to his teacher: "Master, our people are basically here." Rationed tank units also came. But the Japanese troops on the other side ......"

"I don't care what happens to the Japanese army!" saw Song Xilian say fiercely: "This time, I will personally command!" Who would dare to take a step back. Kill!! ”

"Electric order! I personally attacked the enemy on the west bank of Shajing Port with Gu Baoyu of the 212th Regiment, and Liu Ying of the 215th Regiment and Hu Jiaji of the 216th Regiment cooperated with the 1st Company of the Tank to attack southward along Deng Tuo Road and Zhaofeng Road! Li Zhipeng of the 213th Regiment attacked and advanced along the Zhoushan Road to cover the flank of the main attack. All ministries are required to perform their duties strictly. Make no mistake! ”

"Yes!!" The chief of staff replied loudly to Xianju!

At 24 o'clock that night, the 36th Division began its main attack!

The chariot of the "Rumbling ......" is the 1st Company of the Chariot that was transferred from Nanjing as the forerunner! Although it was the first time to go into battle, everyone was not afraid at all! On the contrary, it is extremely exciting!

The ......Japanese army did not expect that the 36th Division, a unit, would have combat vehicles, and they could only use heavy machine guns to fire at the tanks for a while.

Unfortunately, the utility is limited. The first team of tanks is equipped with a British Vickers 6-ton light tank, although it is only 13mm armor protection, but the Japanese heavy machine guns can't penetrate it!

"Tom...... Rumble!! "Suddenly, the artillery on the tank exploded! There was a scream on the Japanese position, and parts of heavy machine guns were blown out along with the broken corpses! The Japanese support fire points suddenly lost their effectiveness.

"Quick! Everybody keep up!! Don't give the Japanese a respite! Song Xilian, who was commanding on the position, shouted loudly, and the soldiers of the 212th Regiment of the 36th Division, who followed behind the tank, roared angrily and killed the Japanese position!

The Japanese army was not prepared for such a move of the 36th Division at all, and the defense line was broken all at once! I saw that it worked. The soldiers of the 36th Division were excited! With the tanks rushing directly towards the Japanese positions!

"Red deer! Order the troops to change the point of fire and cut off the connection between the infantry and the tanks! Then let the grenadiers and mortars destroy these damned tanks! Also, get our convoy up right away! The captain of the Japanese army commanding the operation roared angrily, and the Japanese army was more experienced in dealing with tanks than the 36th Division after all.

The response was decided at once, and the Japanese army did not hesitate to change the position of their light and heavy machine gun fire points after receiving the order! And with grenadiers and mortars arranged, the troops also rushed to the positions.

......Under the cover of the Vickers 6-ton light tank, the troops of the 36th Division calmly arranged the firepower and swept the Japanese troops on the position!

The heavy machine gun fire had already been blasted into parts by the 47mm guns of the Vickers 6-ton light tank. It was the soldiers of the 36th Division who fought more calmly.

"Hey! With the Iron King Eight, the war is called strong enough! The shooter with light machine guns on the position said with a smile. It's a pity that he and his troops didn't know that the Japanese had changed their tactics because of them!

The 36th Division, which knew nothing about this, still followed its own tactical plan. Kill towards the main position of the Japanese army! When the third line of defense of the Japanese army was successfully broken, the mutation finally broke out!

"Tom...... Rumble!! "As is customary, the Vickers tank knocked out a point of fire and then pounced! Prepare to occupy positions. And the troops behind also followed, but at this time, powerful firepower suddenly erupted on both sides of the position!

"Tutu Tu Tu ...... "The continuous explosion of light and heavy machine guns caused the infantry to be swept down continuously!"...... They didn't expect that the Japanese army would set up positions on both sides here, and they suffered a big loss when they were caught off guard!

It was this strafing that completely isolated the entire infantry unit from the tank! The Japanese troops who were hidden in the position seized this opportunity, and more than ten grenadiers and two mortars fired at the Vickers 6-ton light ......tank!

"Boom! Rumble!! The Vickers tank, which was more difficult to turn around ...... than the infantry, was blown up on the spot with black smoke, and the tracks of the "Kerala ......" broke apart. There was also a car that was directly lifted open of the turret, and black smoke was emitting miserably on the position!

The last remaining Vickers tank was trying to return fire, but saw a steel monster rush out of the smoke-filled alley - the Japanese army's Type 97 tank!

"Tom...... Rumble!! "How can a Vickers light tank with only 13mm armor withstand the Japanese 57mm gun?! It exploded on the spot!

"You're a fucking old horse!" Song Xilian, who was a commander on the front line, scolded on the spot!

"No retreat! Call me all! Hit it!! The head of the regiment, Gu Baoyu, knelt down for Song Xilian on the spot, and said loudly with a crying voice: "Division Commander!" You can't fight! This is fighting for the lives of the brothers......"

"What time is it now?! What are we doing if we don't fight?! Hit it now! If you don't beat Lao Tzu, you will fight yourself! ”

Gu Baoyu was kicked to the ground by Song Xilian, wiped the corner of his eye fiercely, took out a gun, and rushed out of the command headquarters with the guards.

On the high-rise buildings on both sides of the road of "Tutu Tu Tu ......", the light and heavy machine guns of the Japanese army kept roaring! Without tank support, the follow-up infantry still rushed forward under the command of their own regiment commander Gu Baoyu!

The Japanese army condescended to form a dense cross-fire network, although Gu Baoyu supervised the charge, but in the narrow space it was impossible to exert it at all! And the tanks and armored vehicles of the follow-up Japanese army have also caught up, and they are used as the vanguard to cover the Japanese infantry detachment to carry out a counterattack.

The positions that had just been occupied were being recaptured by the Japanese little by little......

On the other hand, the troops of the 36th Division attacking at the intersection of Zhoushan Road and Huade Road were also uncomfortable. As soon as they attacked, they were intercepted by intensive Japanese fire. However, within a short time, the entire regiment suffered heavy casualties.

"Kill! Charge!! Chen Ruihe, the commander of the 106th Brigade, roared, holding a barge gun at the Japanese position, and it was a "bang, ......bang, bang" shot! This may have attracted the attention of the Japanese army, and several grenades thrown from the grenadier ...... smashed over!

"Boom! Boom ......" but a loud bang was heard. Chen Ruihe collapsed in a pool of blood......

"Brigadier Commander! Brigade!! The guard screamed miserably, pulled a few people and carried Chen Ruihe, who did not know whether he was alive or dead, in a pool of blood, down to the line of fire, and the morale of the 106th Brigade Commander was taken away for a while......

The attack of the 215th Regiment was also difficult to advance, and Li Zeng, the commander of the 2nd Battalion commanded at the front of the war, was killed on the spot by the Japanese grenadiers!

"Order the troops to detour to the side back alley and climb up the window from behind the tall building! Don't fight to the death with the Japanese army! Liu Ying, the commander of the 215th Regiment, was calm, and when the troops saw that the frontal attack could not be effective, they ordered a change of method.

This was originally a good approach, but would the Japanese be so stupid?!

As soon as the soldiers of the 215th Regiment climbed up the tall building, the tank suddenly "rumbled ......" and suddenly killed! Immediately, the 57mm artillery fire immediately "boomed, boomed, boomed......" and collapsed the wall and blocked the alley!

"No!!" But at this time, the Japanese army threw a few rounds of ammunition, and the alley was suddenly in flames! This burning Liu Ying has a broken liver and gall! It's an incendiary bomb!!

"Ah~~" In the endless screams, more than 300 officers and soldiers died in the flames......

The other party. The 216th regiment started fairly smoothly. Although there were some losses, under the advance of the troops, they rushed across Broadway Road in a short time and attacked until they reached the gate of Huishan Wharf!

But they forgot about one important thing: the door of the pier. It's a huge, heavy iron gate! The surrounding structure is like a bunker, and the fortifications built by the Japanese army make this place even more impregnable! However, they didn't have any artillery to attack!

There was a roar of light and heavy machine guns in the "sudden ......", and the Japanese bullets rained down on the high wall. The charging 216th regiment suddenly resounded with screams!

Countless soldiers were beaten into clumps of flesh and blood, and the Japanese soldiers were laughing loudly on the high walls!

"I'll fuck you little Japanese ancestor!!" Hu Jiaji, the commander of the 216th regiment, roared angrily with red eyes, and then rushed out, and was the first to rush to the edge of the iron gate and climb the iron gate!

The head of the regiment is on it, and I'm still afraid of a ball?! The soldiers of the 216th Regiment roared and followed the regiment commander towards the iron gate, and began to climb frantically in the frightened and puzzled eyes of the Japanese army.

Finally, Hu Jiaji attacked the dock with his own death squad! But is that the end of it?! No, they were immediately suppressed by the Japanese army's fierce flank fire as soon as they attacked!

"Sudden ......" Japanese troops borrowed the warehouse at the dock. A large number of fortifications have already been built! The fire of light and heavy machine guns continued to slaughter the troops rushing in with Hu Jiaji along the shooting hole!

After a while, Hu Jiaji's left and right entourage were killed and injured in this frenzied sweep. Although the left and right entourages tried their best to protect him, Hu Jiaji was also shot five times!

"Commander...... We...... Remove...... Withdrawing ......" a dying entourage, pulling the corner of Hu Jiaji's clothes, trying to say something, but coughed up a mouthful of blood, and his lungs had been pierced. Before he finished speaking, he was no longer angry.

Looking at the position full of corpses, Hu Jiaji wanted to cry without tears. Slowly closing the eyes of the soldier, Hu Jiaji roared, "Withdraw!" ”

Hu Jiaji took the 216th regiment and retreated towards Yinxiang Port. And where will the Japanese army let him go so easily?! Seeing Hu Jiaji's withdrawal, the Japanese army immediately pursued him!

Song Xilian urgently threw himself into the engineer battalion of the division's reserve and barely stabilized the front. This campaign. The casualties of the 216th Regiment were as high as 570 people.

On August 18, the 3rd and 11th Divisions of the Japanese Army completed temporary mobilization and dispatch, set sail from Atsuta Port and Tatotsu Port respectively, and assembled in Ma'an Islands!

August 18, Washington, USA.

Situ Meitang sat comfortably in Roosevelt's office in a long robe, looked at Roosevelt, an old friend he was familiar with, and said softly: "Situ, are everything decided?!" You know, there are some things that can have a big impact if you do them......"

"Rest assured, President, we have received an affirmative answer from the Jews." saw Situ Meitang chuckle and said, "As for Standard Oil, Iron and Steel, and the Colt family, they all agree on this matter." If Japan continues like this. Then presumably the cooperation between the United States and the three eastern provinces will be greatly damaged......"

Roosevelt was stunned for a moment, and then his expression was a little complicated. The interests of the three eastern provinces of the United States are so deeply tied that even if they want to do this on their own, they will not arouse opposition.

As if seeing through what Roosevelt was thinking, Situ Meitang said softly: "President, do you want to be one of the greatest presidents in American history?!" Do you want to be one of the most special presidents and the most nostalgic presidents in American history?! ”

Roosevelt was stunned. He didn't understand what Situ Meitang wanted to say. Seeing Situ Meitang smile and continue: "Believe me, war is the best opportunity. You may even become the only president in U.S. history to serve three or even four terms......"

Roosevelt's heart was pounding when he said this, and he became one of the greatest presidents in American history! What person who has become the president of the United States doesn't think about this?!

Indeed, he seems to have reluctantly walked out of the economic crisis with the United States. But now it is still difficult, the unemployment rate is too high! Purchasing power decreases with ......

"Trust me, Mr. President! War is one of the best means to solve all this. But seeing Situ Meitang smiled and said softly: "War will consume a lot of resources and reorganize a lot of things. War makes a person great and makes a lot of impossible things happen......"

"Of course, it all depends on the ...... we win the war"

"It's not a good time to go to war." Despite the great temptation, Roosevelt still said to Situ Meitang very calmly: "If you enter the war at this time, the whole United States will oppose it!" ”

"Certainly not now. But trust me! Be prepared for this, or should ......"

Chicago, August 21.

"The lawless infectious diseases in the world are indeed spreading, when the ** infectious disease begins to spread. The society is in favor of and unites to isolate the patients and prevent the spread of the disease in order to protect the health of the society! ”

"In some countries, there are now no declarations of war or warnings, and air strikes are carried out without justification, killing ordinary citizens, including women and children. There is a danger that this militant tendency will spread over time......"

But Roosevelt, who was on the high platform, said solemnly to the people below: "Peace-loving nations must work together to oppose the destruction of treaties that are creating international anarchy and instability......

Roosevelt's speech immediately detonated the world! Even. The Japanese army in Shanghai was stagnant!

And at the same time, 6 major peace groups in the United States are urgently meeting up! They tried to launch a petition signed by 25 million people with the slogan "Keep America out of the war."

But then the men were taken away by a car with no signs on it, and they never spoke about it again when they returned.

The dignitaries of the American Federation of Labor were invited to dinner together at the estates of the Rockefeller, Morgan and other families, and then the American Federation of Labor issued a resolution!

"American workers don't want to get involved in wars in Europe and Asia, but if they try to invade our country, against our people! Then the peace-loving American workers will also support the country to take up arms! Punish those scoundrels! ”

Members of the U.S. House of Representatives and Senate voted 2 to 1 against U.S. intervention in the Sino-Japanese war, but agreed 2 to 1 to "stop the destruction of treaties that are causing international anarchy and instability." ”

"Your Excellency. What I wonder is if we're sanctioning Japan?! Faced with the reporter's question, Roosevelt smiled and replied softly: "No! Dear Mr. Journalist, Sanctions are a nasty word, and it has been discarded. ”

"We're just thinking about it now. whether to put an end to some acts that seriously undermine the international order......"

And after this speech was published, the whole of Japan was first angry and then frightened!

Their crude oil, their steel, and even a lot of rare metals come from the United States! As early as after Japan withdrew from the League of Nations, European countries stopped trading with Japan. Moreover, the European countries were preparing for war on their own, and they would not sell their resources to Japan at all.

If...... The United States cut off trade with Japan, so how long can Japan's war last?! One month?! Two months?! Or half a year?!

"Noro Maji!!" At a meeting of the Japanese military department, Prince Kangongin lost his temper: "Are those guys from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs all idiots?!" What are these bastards doing with the Empire's funds?! The Americans reacted so much, why don't we have any news at all?! ”

Everyone was silent, and after a long time, Ishihara Wan'er, who was more appreciated by the Xiangong Academy, said in a deep voice: "Your Highness." The Ministry of Foreign Affairs may not be able to do anything about this matter. Our attack on the three eastern provinces has greatly violated the interests of Europe and the United States......"

"The cooperation between the Tiger and Europe and the United States has always been extensive. In the United States, in particular, from President Roosevelt to families, businesses, and the Tiger, there is a lot of involvement......"

The face of the idle palace was terrifying, and he said to Ishihara: "Ishihara! You've got to come up with a plan to keep the war going after we're out of American trade! Also, go and issue an emergency mobilization order! The war in China could not be delayed any longer. We need to take it down as soon as possible! Do you understand?! ”

"Hail!!" Everyone stood up and shouted to the idle palace!

August 22nd. Tokyo, Japan.

"The dispute in the world today is actually a dispute between 'resource-owned' and 'resource-free countries'. We are enthusiastic about the unfair distribution of resources and raw materials. But if this injustice is not corrected, and the 'resourced countries' refuse to make concessions to their vested interests, is there no other way but war?! I don't think so! ”

Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs Tatsuo Kawasaki in "Click! Click! Under the flashing lights, he said in a deep voice to the reporters present: "This is the attitude of our Great Japanese Empire, and it is also the attitude of all our Japanese!" ”

After speaking, he bowed to the reporters in the audience and turned around to leave. And an American reporter suddenly stood up and shouted at Tatsuo Kasami: "I want to ask!" So what do you say about the undeclared war that Japan launched in China?! What is the explanation for the air strikes and the killing of civilians?! ”

Tatsuo Kamisaki turned to the reporter and said in a deep voice: "Japan's actions are completely self-defense. War was not declared on the government of Nanjing, but on an autonomous region. Although this autonomous region has diplomatic rights recognized by the League of Nations, Japan has never recognized this! ”

"We're just taking back what belongs to us!" Tatsuo Kasang bowed to the reporter, then turned away from any questions.

August 22, Shanghai.

"Boom, boom, boom...... In the support of the navy's rumbling artillery fire, the 3rd, 8th and 11th divisions of the Japanese army launched amphibious operations against Shanghai and continued to land in Chuansha and Baoshan!

"The Fifth Army immediately launched a counteroffensive on the whole line of the Japanese army in the evening, breaking through from the Huishan Wharf! Comprehensively cut the Japanese defense line and not let the Japanese army have an advantage! In the headquarters, Zhang Zhizhong looked at the map and said in a deep voice to several generals around him: "This matter can't be delayed any longer!" Do it now! ”

"Yes!!" Everyone also knew the seriousness of the situation, and bowed down to receive the order and went down to carry out the order. When Chiang Zhongzheng in Nanjing learned of Roosevelt's speech, his confidence rose at once!

In his opinion, this is an excellent sign! Subsequently, he decided to send his eldest brother to the United States to try to persuade the United States to give him some assistance.

At the same time, order one of your own 75mm artillery regiments to go to battle! These guns were supported by the Wehrmacht, with high precision and firepower! Originally, Jiang Zhongzheng thought that it would be used to defend Nanjing.

But now with the "good" news from the United States, Jiang Zhongzheng gritted his teeth and decided to fight the war! If he wins, he hyped it up a lot, and his prestige may not overshadow the Wehrmacht!

After all, this level is only considered to be within "Kyushu"! And the three eastern provinces, no matter how strong they are, are still "outside the border". I was born with an advantage.

Therefore, this pressure has also been pressed on the troops in Shanghai! This battle must be fought!

"Tutu Tu Tu ...... Rumble! After a short adjustment, the 36th Division immediately set up 3 tanks and 3 infantry battalions to attack Huishan Wharf again!......

In the shouting and fighting, the 36th Division was like a bamboo! A company broke through as many as four lines of defense of the Japanese army, and this time the infantry and tank coordination was much better than yesterday, and the tanks destroyed many positions of the Japanese army one after another!

And in order to cover the tanks to break through the enemy formation, the 36th Division used the most stupid method: to use infantry to attract heavy machine gun fire from the deep Japanese army with flesh and blood!

Under the heavy machine guns of the "sudden ......", the soldiers of the 36th Division flew flesh and blood! But no one retreated, and they watched their tanks blast off machine gun positions one by one, and fell in a pool of blood with relief...... (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly passes, and your support is my biggest motivation. )rv！！！
