The Wehrmacht warhawks in the sky did not entangle, but only fought for a while before covering each other and retreating. The Japanese fighters were even more relieved, and gradually broke away from contact with the Wehrmacht warhawks and watched them leave.

Amid the rumbling explosions, Shunroku Hata came to the port with people in a panic to try to rescue the Japanese navy who had fallen into the water. When Shunroku Hata arrived at the port, his face turned white when he looked at the sunken, burning, and exploding warships on the sea.

Two aircraft carriers, four battleships! What will he take to compensate the navy?! From afar, he saw Shitaro Shimada being carried to the shore, and Shimada was now covered in blood. Standing beside him, the starless Kaga aircraft carrier Kubosu nine times Navy Daisa was no better.

One after another, two more captains climbed ashore. At this time, the ship on the surface of the sea had completely sunk.

"Your Excellency Commander, General Kinoshita is calling." The adjutant took Kinoshita's telegram and gently handed it to Shunroku Hata. Shunroku Hatata, who was trembling and took the telegram, looked at the telegram, and the corners of his mouth trembled.

In just less than half an hour of fighting, the 3rd Flying Group again lost 38 fighters. Now there are less than 100 fighters in Kinoshita's hands.

This telegram from Kinoshita Toshi, on the one hand, is a report of his own losses. On the other hand, he also told Shunroku Hata that he would start preparing to evacuate now.

"The Battle of Shanghai is not a crime of war! Luck is not in me!! ”

Look at the wounded in the harbor, look at the sunken warships. Shunroku Hatata, who was holding the telegram, turned pale, suddenly spurted out a mouthful of blood, and the whole person fell to the ground.

"Your Excellency, Commander! Your Excellency, Commander!! A burst of exclamations rang out in the harbor, and Shunroku Hatata's adjutant hurriedly sent the car on Shunroku Hata to the field hospital.

Shunroku Hata fainted, but the Wehrmacht would not stop his actions because he fainted. Back at the airport, the tiger moth began to reload and refuel.

Tiger Sharks also began to rotate operations, and more than 100 Tiger Shark fighters took to Shanghai first. The remaining tiger moths take off again fifteen minutes after the tiger shark takes off.

"Chirp...... Boom Boom ......Boom "The artillery fire of the Second Army Corps has begun to bombard Shanghai in an all-out way, and the three armored divisions have begun to assemble and crush Shanghai!"

The infantry on the ground, under the leadership of their respective regiments and battalion commanders, carried out a comprehensive breakthrough to Shanghai with tanks.

Shunroku Hata was taken to the field hospital. After a thorough examination, the doctor told the adjutant that Shunroku Hata had been greatly stimulated, and his heart and breathing suddenly increased. This leads to excessive pressure in the lungs and acute bleeding of organs within the body.

As a result, Shunroku Hataketake's recovery was gradual.

"Dr. Kishida, you know the situation now. There is no way for His Excellency the Commander to recuperate. The adjutant said to the doctor urgently: "Now all the departments are waiting for the order of His Excellency the Commander, if it were not for his command, maybe our entire Chinese dispatch army would be annihilated by the Wehrmacht!" ”

It's not that Dr. Kishida is unaware of the current situation of China's military dispatches, but he doesn't have any more medicine on his hands to stimulate Shunroku Hata to stay awake.

"Dazuo, Your Excellency Commander's physical condition is now on the verge of collapse. What I can do is get His Excellency the Commander to be sober for ten minutes. Kishida paused and said, "According to the situation of His Excellency the Commander." There is no way he can stay awake for a long time. If you have any questions, please contact Your Excellency the Commander immediately......"

"Then I'll go and gather the commanders at all levels first. As for Your Excellency the Commander, please leave it to Dr. Kishida! The adjutant bowed deeply to Dr. Kishida. Then he turned around and went out and summoned all the division commanders and army commanders at all levels.

At present, the downtown area of Shanghai has become a mess, and the troops of the Second Army Corps are constantly breaking through the urban area under the cover of tanks. The Japanese army relied on houses, fortifications, and secret passages for defense.

"Tom...... Rumble! A courtyard was directly bombarded, and a terrible scream came from inside. A squad of Wehrmacht fighters began to break through into the yard under the cover of light machine guns. Wipe out the Japanese troops there.

"Da ......" The gunfire rang out, and a shop in front of the courtyard and on the right suddenly began to shoot at the soldiers of this squad.

Fortunately, these soldiers reacted very quickly, and rolled into the rubble in three or two to avoid the strafing of the Japanese army.

The heavy machine guns on the "Sudden ......" tank immediately began to fire, and there was a frenzied strafing of the shops. Immediately, a stream of blood splattered from the wall, and the screams were endless.

"Tom...... Rumble! "The Japanese used 92 infantry guns in an attempt to destroy the Wehrmacht tanks. However, this cannon only shook the body of the Tiger B, but did not actually hurt the driver of the car.

"Damn! Fuck Lao Tzu to death! The stunned captain roared angrily. The ammunition hand suddenly stuffed the shell into the barrel, and only heard a muffled sound of "tom ~".

Behind the rubble in front of the right, there was an explosion, and along with the explosion, there were screams. The Wehrmacht fighters in the rubble began to break through as soon as the artillery rang out.

"Bang bang bang ......" gunshots rang out. The remnants of the Japanese soldiers screamed and were beaten into a sieve. The Japanese army's use of poison gas bombs made the entire Second Army extremely angry.

Yan Chenghan, the commander of the Second Army Corps, strongly urged other fraternal troops not to enter Shanghai, and the Second Army Corps would personally slaughter all these Japanese troops.

Qi Mudeng, commander-in-chief of the East China Theater, didn't know what the considerations were, but he agreed to Yan Chenghan's request. Immediately, the entire East China Front was fully dispersed. Implement a comprehensive encirclement along the center of Shanghai.

The Second Army was led by Yan Chenghan and directly entered Shanghai. Of course, Qi Muden did not let Yan Chenghan come. He sent his direct Panzer Corps to assist the Second Army in its attack.

In order to ensure that the breakthrough force of the Second Army Corps was sufficient. And that really made a difference. With tanks as a cover, the 2nd Army broke through quickly. In three or two clicks, it has already entered the downtown area of Shanghai.

The Japanese fortifications that tried to stop the 2nd Army on the way were almost all crushed by tanks. If it encounters underground fortifications, the Second Army Corps will not fight to the death, but call the Air Force through the regimental headquarters and directly use the "mace" to bomb him all.

For the first time, this was the first time that the Wehrmacht had engaged in a truly and completely three-dimensional operation. Tanks on the ground and fighters in the sky can communicate with the infantry and provide support at any time.

"Chirp...... Rumble!! This is an underground fortification carefully designed and built by the Japanese army, but unfortunately it is not enough to see in the face of the "mace" style. Under one blow, the entire fortification was destroyed.

The Japanese squad stationed in the fortifications did not even have scum left, and they were scattered in pieces.

Yan Chenghan's eyes were red, and he continued to infiltrate Shanghai with his team like mercury. No one, no force, could stop him.

Everywhere the Second Army went, as long as the Japanese soldiers were dead or alive, they all cut their throats with bayonets. The whole of Shanghai was filled with a thick smell of blood and a thick and disgusting smoke of gunpowder.

"Bang! Whew~~" A Molotov cocktail was thrown into the Japanese fortifications, and there was a burst of screams and chirping Japanese. Then, the soldiers of the Second Legion, who were ambushing at the gate, saw the fire rush out one by one.

......The soldiers stationed outside pulled the trigger without hesitation, and the fire balls that rushed out immediately burst out of bursts of blood, turning to the ground and twitching incessantly.

Two army commanders and three division commanders came to the field hospital of the Japanese army. The adjutant nodded at Dr. Shimada, who began to inject Shunroku Hata with the potion.

Three to five minutes after the injection of the potion, Shunroku Hata slowly woke up.

"How is the situation now......" Shunroku Hata's face was pale, and there was no trace of blood on his lips. He was already emaciated, and the war situation in Shanghai made him anxious.

"Your Excellency, the situation is not good." After being silent for a while, the chief of the General Staff, Harem Chuncai, spoke: "The Chinese troops have broken through our three lines of defense in Shanghai, and they are only less than a kilometer away from the headquarters and the field hospital......

Shunroku Hatata's face turned a little rosy and coughed incessantly.

"Your Excellency, Commander!" The adjutant shouted anxiously, and Shunroku Hata waved his hand.

"I'm fine, don't worry." Hata Shunroku's face was much more ruddy, and he said to several generals: "Now Shanghai is undefensible." I ordered, break through on all fronts. ”

"Leave a brigade and a division and hold back. The rest of the troops immediately withdrew from the defensive line and broke through to the Jiangsu-Zhejiang region. Harem Chun temporarily acted as the commander of the dispatch army of China and led the troops to break through the siege......"

"And I'...... It's to stay and buy time for you with the blocking force! ”

"Your Excellency, Commander!!" Hearing Shunroku Hata's words, the generals below couldn't help but exclaim. And Shunroku Hata waved his hand and said, "I am to blame for the defeat in this battle." He should apologize to His Majesty, but the army is still under siege. Therefore, Toshishi Hata should use his mutilated body to snatch a way out for the kings and the warriors of the empire......"

The generals were gloomy, and they knew that Shunroku Hata's choice might be the best choice. If he dies in battle, the camp will give his family some honor so that it will not bring shame on his family.

But if he returns alive, not to mention being dismissed from office, he may even go to a court-martial. The Navy suffered huge losses, and someone needed to come out and take responsibility. And Shunroku Hatata, who commanded the operation in Shanghai, is undoubtedly the main bearer of this responsibility.

"Alright, let's go......" Shunroku Hata coughed again and said to everyone: "Toshishi Hata is here, I wish the empire prosperity!" May all of you prosper in martial arts! ”

"Hail!!"

It's a pity that Shunroku Hata doesn't know. These Japanese generals didn't know either. Shanghai has been besieged into a barrel. Qi Muden was licking his blood-red tongue, wanting to swallow all the more than 100,000 Japanese soldiers......
