ps: I chose to end the battle of Shanghai today, and I want to ask: how many people remember that today is eight. One-three?! I'm afraid that most of you remember Tanabata, right?! But I still hope that someone can remember that today is three, and it is the day when the martyrs in Shanghai paid endless flesh and blood......

This passage is very sad for Shunroku Hatata, although he was ready to die in battle when he arrived in Shanghai. But what he didn't expect was that his loss would be so big.

Two aircraft carriers were compensated, as well as four battleships. The Navy will not rest on its laurels, and its colleagues in the War Department will face unrelenting accountability from the Navy.

"Your Excellency Commander...... "Onodera choked up a little, no matter what, Shunroku Hata led the more than 300,000 Japanese troops in Shanghai to withstand the attack of the Wehrmacht for more than a month.

The general, who was in high spirits when he came, is now full of gray hair and his face is pale and defeated. Onodera didn't know what to say to comfort the general, and Shunroku Hata seemed to see Onodera's thoughts.

"I'm tired, you don't have to look at me. Let's take care of the others......" Shunroku Hata said as he slowly closed his eyes. Tired, it's the truth and the lie.

During his time in the hospital, Shunroku Hata was in a coma no less than five times. There is no way to coordinate the command of the battle, and each unit coordinates and directs the operation on its own.

Actually, there is nothing to command. It is nothing more than gradual resistance and mutual support. Under the bombardment of "Gong" and heavy artillery and tanks, the fortifications on which the Japanese army relied gradually melted like ice and snow in spring.

Being able to fight until now has not collapsed is already a sign of the strength of the Japanese army. Unbeknownst to the low-ranking officers of the Japanese army in downtown Shanghai, they had been abandoned.

In their opinion, their commander Shunroku Hata is still in Shanghai, so the battle can continue. It's a pity that they don't know that in fact Shunroku Hata is atoning for his sins with death.

"Shaozuo, we can't support it anymore......" Captain Yokoi's face was full of gunsmoke. Standing in front of his captain with a sad face.

If it was normal times, Yokoi, as the squad leader, would not be qualified to stand in front of Yukawa Tomosa. But the current situation is that the Yukawa Brigade is now able to continue fighting with less than one and a half squadrons.

Because of this, this squad leader is qualified to meet Yukawa Shaozo as the captain.

"Second Lieutenant Yokoi, the only thing I can tell you is: keep fighting!" Yukawa was one of the few people who knew that the entire army had been placed behind the last hall.

And after learning that the commander, General Shunroku Hata, was also determined to be martyred in Shanghai, Yukawa felt that it was an honor to meet even under the cherry blossom trees of the shrine.

"Now is the time for us to show our loyalty to the Empire and His Majesty the Emperor!" Yukawa looked at Yokoi and said in a deep voice: "Or if we die in battle, the name of the hero will spread among heaven and earth." Or our humiliating retreat. My family is disgraced by us. Between the two, I'm sure you'll have a choice. ”

Yokoi's face turned pale, and he was silent listening to Yukawa's words. After a while, he said to Tang Chuan: "Shaozuo, I have something I want to talk to you about alone, please allow me." ”

Yukawa frowned. As a young samurai, Yukawa actually doesn't want to pay too much attention to Yokoi. But looking at Yokoi's body full of gunsmoke, he decided to listen to what Yokoi had to say.

saw Yukawa wave his hand, and the guards and adjutants around him walked out. Suddenly, Yukawa and Yokoi were left in this temporary headquarters.

"Okay, there's something you can say now." Yukawa tried to keep his tone as calm as possible, facing Yokoi. Yokoi seemed to be struggling with whether or not to say that.

After a long while, he raised his head and looked into Tang Chuan's eyes and said word by word: "Shaozuo, I just want to ask: Have we been abandoned?!" ”

Yokoi's words have just been exported. Tomo Yukawa's saber was suddenly pulled out in half! But it seems that Tang Chuan realized something, and forced the saber to return to the sheath Qiang smiled and said.

"Yokoi-kun, you're too worried. Your Excellency the Commander is in Shanghai......" Yokoi did not wait for Yukawa to finish speaking. He bowed his head and smiled bitterly.

"Shaozuo, you don't have to hide it from me. It's not like I've never experienced such a thing, and General Shouichi Terauchi in the Battle of Jinan was also in command of the operation in Jinan......"

Yukawa stopped talking, and he remembered that Yokoi was suddenly incorporated into his own brigade. But before being incorporated into the brigade. Yokoi's resume is unknown.

Yukawa has always disliked this second lieutenant, and he didn't like it from the first time he saw Yokoi. Because Yokoi always has a smell of twilight.

Although he was also very brave in battle. He is also good at grasping tactics and boosting morale. But as long as he appears in front of Yukawa, Yokoi always looks like a twilight.

"Yukawa Shaoza, maybe you don't know. At the time of the Battle of Jinan, I was already a Zhongzuo. Yokoi was silent for a while, and then said to Yukawa: "Wehrmacht, I am more familiar with it than you. And the strategic retreat, I am a first-hand experiencer. I can guess something like this just by thinking about it......"

Yukawa stood up impatiently, looked at Yokoi coldly and hummed, "Then what are you going to do?!" Are you going to tell everyone that we were left behind to die?! ”

Yokoi didn't speak, and after a moment of silence, he said, "I wouldn't do anything like that." If this is done, then the family in the empire will be disgraced by me. ”

Hearing Yokoi's words, Yukawa finally breathed a sigh of relief. As long as Yokoi doesn't expose this fact, then it doesn't matter if he guesses it.

"Shaozuo, I only have one request......" When Yokoi raised his head, Yukawa had already seen the tears in his eyes.

"Please help me send a telegram to the country, at least I hope my family can see my farewell ......telegram," Yokoi said, already in tears: "At least...... I should let my family know that I have done my duty to the Empire......"

Yukawa, silent.

The rumbling of artillery continued. The dock that the Second Army had already seized by the Japanese Army, which had caused heavy losses to the Central Army, became a joke in the face of Wehrmacht's powerful firepower.

The Japanese army, which tried to defend itself with the fortifications built in the warehouse, collapsed under a tiger shell. The tracks of the tank directly smashed the high wall open, and the fire crow fired directly at the warehouse, killing the Japanese soldiers who rushed out with the explosive bombs of the Type 99 anti-tank vehicle.

In less than fifteen minutes, the pier, which had caused heavy losses to the Central Army and was not captured by even tens of thousands of people, became the bag of the Second Army.

In the last Battle of Songhu, the squadron was still forced to retreat by the Japanese army under the weeping blood. Seventy divisions, seven brigades, and 600,000 soldiers fought bloodily. Even with the support of nearly 200 fighters and 17 tanks, it was still a crushing defeat.

The Japanese army only mobilized 30,000 men to defeat the Central Army, the Dian Army, the Gui Army, the Sichuan Army, and the Northeast Army...... And so on all the military forces of the whole of China at that time.

In this battle, the various departments paid more than 180,000 casualties. A corps commander, a division commander and four deputy division commanders all died in the battle on the Songhu position.

Liu Qiwen, the commander of the 322nd Brigade of the 108th Division of the 67th Army, died heroically in the fierce battle with the Japanese army in Shihudang at the age of 39. He was also the first general of the Northeast Army to die in the War of Resistance Against Japan.

Lieutenant General Wu Keren, commander of the 67th Army, was originally the main force of the Northeast Army. In this battle, he was killed on the battlefield to cover the withdrawal of the rest of the troops. Major General Qin Lin, commander of the 511th Brigade of the 171st Division of the 7th Army, dispatched the main force of Shanghai to the Gui Department. During the battle, he was bombed by the Japanese army and died heroically.

**Major General Deng Yuzhuo, Chief of Staff of the 107th Division of the 67th Army, Major General Zhu Zhirong, Commander of the 321st Brigade of the 107th Division of the 67th Army, and Major General Pang Hanzhen, Commander of the 510th Brigade of the 170th Division of the 21st Group Army of the 7th Army......

More than a dozen generals fell in the Battle of Songhu. The lives and blood of nearly 200,000 soldiers and more than a dozen generals. In exchange, he had to give up Shanghai.

The blood and tears in it, but who knows?!

The tragic battle in Songhu did not stop the Japanese. On the contrary, because with only 30,000 people, it was able to resist the attack of 600,000 people, and even killed and wounded nearly 200,000 people.

Also after this campaign. Japan chose to wage an all-out war.

"Lao Tzu is back!!" Standing on the dock, the huge force was crying. Here, thousands of his brothers were buried. Those brothers had given their lives to capture the dock.

But even so, the Central Army was still blocked from the docks. Da Li is the former Central Army soldiers who participated in the Battle of Songhu.

During the Battle of Nanjing, he chose to join Yan Chenghan's Second Army. Subsequently, he followed Yan Chenghan to fight in the south and north. He was transferred to the Second Army Corps and served as the commander of the 61st Regiment of the 21st Division of the Seventh Army.

"Regiment Commander......" Xia Rui, the guard beside him, cautiously called out to his regiment commander, there are a lot of people here! The head of the regiment cried in public, which was not pretty.

"What are you shouting?! Didn't you see that Lao Tzu was busy?! Huge force turned around and roared at Xia Rui. But after a roar. He knelt on the dock and kowtowed three times.

"Brethren of the 216th Regiment! My old Pang didn't say a big thing! I'm sorry for you......"

A terrible roar, like the cry of a wounded lone wolf. The old people of the 21st Division who knew the experience of Da Li couldn't help but sigh, they knew that this was a lump in the heart of Da Li.

Dali has always been unable to figure out why he fought so desperately but was still defeated by the Japanese army. I know that Yan Chenghan taught them knowledge. Huge force to know why.

Because of the gap, the huge gap. From equipment, from weapons, from individual quality to command operations. The huge disparity results in heavy casualties and nothing.

Since then. He swore to the heavens and to the brothers who died on the dock that he would one day personally take down the dock and use the blood of those Japanese to pay tribute to the brothers who died in the 216th Regiment.

He did it.

Street fighting is extremely boring, tedious and dangerous. The attack methods adopted by the Second Army were extremely violent, and the fate of any Japanese blocking point was to be directly demolished.

If the infantry can't dismantle it, the tanks will dismantle it. If the tank can't do it, it will be heavy artillery. If it doesn't work out, the tiger moth will come to these defending Japanese troops with a "mace" style to tell them that any fortifications are a joke in front of the Second Army.

Zhabei, Hongkou, Yangshupu, Nancheng District, Wusong ...... The buildings in other areas have basically been swept away, and in some places they have even been directly blasted open a large pit that is constantly seeping water.

All the concessions occupied by the Japanese army did not escape the hands of demolition, and more than ninety percent of the buildings were swept away. Even many Japanese soldiers did not even have a position to move and dodge. It can only be strangled by the Wehrmacht in the open air.

Amid the rumbling sound of cannons, Shunroku Hata woke up leisurely again. This time, he didn't see Onodera, who was specially sent to guard him, and even Shunroku Hata's saber was gone.

Shunroku Hata glanced at it and closed his eyes again. He was waiting for death.

After a while, Shunroku Hata heard the sound of stray footsteps. But Shunroku Hata still didn't open his eyes. In his opinion, this should be the commanders of the various departments rushing to see him off for the last time.

"Sir, this is the current commander of the Chinese Dispatch Army, General Shunroku Hatata." Hearing Onodera's stammering Chinese, Shunroku Hatatake's eyes suddenly opened.

In front of him stood dozens of men in Wehrmacht uniforms, the one in the lead who was cracking his mouth and laughing wildly.

"This is his saber...... "Onodera timidly walked to the corner and touched it, then took out Shunroku Hatata's saber and respectfully handed it to the Wehrmacht officer.

"Red Okanoro!! Onodera! You traitor!! Shunroku Hata suddenly spurted out a mouthful of blood and fainted again. And the Wehrmacht man frowned and glanced at Onodera coldly.

"This Shunroku Hata is more useful alive than dead...... words of the Wehrmacht man made Onodera break out in a cold sweat. With a crying voice, he said, "We don't have too much medicine!" Shunroku Hata now needs medication to stabilize his injuries. But we don't. ”

"It's okay, I can give you these." The Wehrmacht man grinned and said, "Don't worry, I won't kill you." You won't get hurt either. You'll live a good life, and then you'll have a chance to go back to Japan. ”

said. As soon as the man waved his hand, several Wehrmacht soldiers behind him stepped forward, lifted Shunroku Hata onto a stretcher, and walked out. The man staggered and pulled out Shunroku Hatata's saber and nodded in satisfaction.

"Not bad! It's a good knife, and it should be okay to give the commander a good way to get constipated. Hahaha......" The man laughed and sheathed his knife and strode out of the hospital.

Since Tu Menghu said that he had collected the Japanese sabers and put them in the toilet for laxative, the entire Wehrmacht began to work upwards and downwards. From the chief of the general staff, Su Zongzhe, to the division commanders and regiment commanders below, they suddenly had this hobby overnight.

If someone doesn't have a saber in the toilet, they will be despised by their comrades. Regimental level generally have adjutant knives. Divisions and armies will put two more handfuls. At least there must be a saber of Osa.

And the military-level, corps-level, not to mention a major general's saber, right?! Otherwise, it's too embarrassing. This man was very proud, even if he was the commander of his own military district, he didn't have a saber of a Japanese general in his toilet.

If the commander gets this saber, he won't be happy to die?! Not to mention that there is also a living Japanese general. This was the first time that the Wehrmacht had captured such a high-level prisoner since the start of the war.

We arrested a general, it's not too much to give a first-class merit, right?! Thinking about it, the man couldn't help but crack his mouth and laugh.

"I just want to live...... I just want to live......" Onodera muttered in Japanese in a low voice, his head bowed and crying. But he only followed behind the Wehrmacht man. Don't dare to leave for a moment.

Onodera was captured by the 53rd Regiment of the 18th Division of the 6th Army of the 2nd Army Corps that had captured the position when he went to the position to rescue the wounded. The moment he was caught, Onodera yelled in staccato Chinese in despair: "I know where Shunroku Hata is!" ”

This sentence saved his life. Song Da, the head of the 53rd Regiment, immediately asked Onodera to be arrested, and then forced Shunroku Hata to ask about his location.

The hospital of this underground fortification was not far from the position, and the Japanese troops, who were strapped for various forces, did not have extra troops to send here. Therefore, this hospital was easily captured by the 53rd Regiment.

And the man who took the lead in rushing in was Song Da, the head of the 53rd Regiment.

The rumbling artillery finally died down, and the Wehrmacht Second Army captured Shanghai at the cost of 90,000 killed and 130,000 wounded. The entire Second Army Corps, almost all of whom were replaced in the battle.

But the Japanese army did not feel much better. On the five lines of defense, the Japanese killed more than 100,000 people in total. More than 30,000 people were killed in the fighting in Shanghai. More than 40,000 wounded Japanese soldiers were taken prisoner.

On the outskirts of Shanghai, most of the evacuated Japanese troops were surrounded and annihilated. Only about 30,000 people escaped and retreated to Hangzhou overnight. Of the 350,000 Japanese troops garrisoning Shanghai, only 30,000 escaped.

The remaining 320,000 were either annihilated or taken prisoner. After the complete defeat in the battle of Shanghai, the Japanese part of the Japanese army, which had broken through the last line of defense in their hearts, finally chose to surrender.

And the 510,000 Imperial Allied Army surrendered as high as 300,000. Most of the remaining were killed in the battle, and a small number of them fled in all directions.

Qi Muden was very busy now, and the commander-in-chief of the navy, Shen Honglie, sent twenty telegrams in a row, asking him to start fishing for the sunken warships immediately.

The General Staff demanded that Qi Muden immediately prepare for another expedition. The coalition government demanded that Qimuden ask the Japanese prisoners where the gas bombs were hidden.

And Tu Mengben was very interested in wanting to see Shunroku Hata with his own eyes, or he was very interested in wanting to slaughter Shunroku Hata with his own hands.

Zimuden was busy, but he didn't know that the battle had caused a great shock in the Allies and the Axis powers!

This shock is not about how much the Wehrmacht's land forces have achieved in Shanghai, but in the fact that the Wehrmacht directly sank two Japanese aircraft carriers and four battleships with a terrifying weapon!

After Pearl Harbor, the days of cannon giants seem to have passed. Instead, a blow of air power.

"Inform the whole country that our national defense forces have fought bloodily to fulfill their mission! With 220,000 sacrifices, the soldiers recovered Shanghai! Tu Menghu smiled faintly at the adjutant in his office and said, "Next, recover Zhejiang!" ”

"Yes!!"

The telegram spread throughout the country along with the radio waves, and no matter where they were, all the descendants of China who received the telegram burst into tears! I, China, am ashamed after all!
