"Boom! Rumble!! Boom ...... "On the bank of the Min River, artillery fire is endless! Lu Xingrong and the officers and men of the 52nd Division under his command waited quietly in the anti-artillery hole for the end of the shelling.

Since he took the position, Lu Xingrong can't remember the first time he has "enjoyed" such a quiet time. Only during the shelling, there is no need to fight with the Japanese army.

Once the shelling is over, then it is time for the Japanese to start attacking.

After a few days of fighting, the Japanese army had occupied the position of the tidal flats, and was constantly using those undamaged ships to send soldiers here.

For now, a large offensive position has been established on the tidal flats! Wakayama Zentaro also landed at Zhanggang with his own division, and a brigade of the vanguard also arrived.

It is taking over the offensive of the 5th Brigade, and the losses of the 5th Brigade in these rounds of attack are not large due to adhering to the opinion of the division commander. As soon as there is a difficulty in attacking the fortification, the troops will withdraw and then return fire to clear them.

With strong firepower, the 52nd Division suffered heavy losses! Many anti-artillery holes could not withstand the repeated shelling and collapsed! After all, these fortifications are all improvised, not permanent, and the degree of solidity can be imagined.

During several rounds of indiscriminate bombardment, the insolidarity of the fortifications gradually became apparent. Part of the fortifications collapsed under the heavy bombardment of the Japanese artillery.

After all, the 52nd Division is not the kind of Wehrmacht unit that is capable of repairing fortifications, and they have only just begun to get in touch with this kind of large-scale fortifications, so they are naturally inferior to the Wehrmacht.

This gap has caused fatal injuries. At least now the 52nd Division has paid more than 300 casualties for this, which could have been avoided. But the 52nd Division had no choice.

The shelling ended after more than half an hour, and the small soldiers from Lu Xingrong to the bottom rushed to the position! Light and heavy machine guns, grenadiers, etc., were all erected.

The 52nd Division was not without gains in these battles, they captured at least more than ten light and heavy machine guns and five grenadiers. These were deployed in various positions to defend against the Japanese attack.

There is no need to worry about the use of grenadiers, as Wehrmacht veterans are no strangers to this weapon. In three or two strokes, the officers and men of the 52nd Division were taught to use this weapon.

"Divisional Commander!! Fuzhou is in an emergency! The cavalry of the Japanese army didn't know when they had crossed the river and killed the city of Fuzhou......" When the Japanese army and the 52nd Division were fighting, Lu Xingrong's adjutant ran to Lu Xingrong's side with a pale face and said loudly!

Lu Xingrong heard this. His face immediately darkened. From the beginning, he knew that his 52nd Division would not be able to stop the Japanese attack, but he still wanted to delay the Japanese army's entry into Fujian.

It's a pity that they can't even do that now. The Japanese bypassed their line of defense and made a direct surprise attack on Fuzhou with cavalry! Fuzhou, which has almost no defense. How could they resist the Japanese attack?!

"Tell the brethren! We are now in the time of fighting to the death......" Lu Xingrong was silent for a while and said in a deep voice to the remaining battalion commanders beside him.

The battalion commanders nodded, and went down to deliver the order with a gloomy face. They are all men from Minjiang! Looking at the backs of these soldiers under his command, Lu Xingrong said in his heart: Then, let our blood be sprinkled on this Minjiang River......

A few hours later, Yang Ziren and others on their way to northern Shaanxi received a telegram. This was a telegram sent by Tu Qianjun, commander-in-chief of the Wehrmacht, hoping that the red troops left in Fujian would be able to come to the rescue.

Got this telegram. Yang Ziren's mood is complicated. To tell the truth, Lu Xingrong was once the vanguard of the encirclement and suppression of the red! There have been many bloody battles between the two sides.

This telegram also caused a wide discussion within the Red Color, and several elders excitedly announced that they would not agree to let their comrades save the warlords who had participated in the massacre and encirclement!

"Comrades, I can understand everyone's feelings......" Taking a puff of cigarette, Yang Ziren looked at the several red elders at the meeting and said in a deep voice: "But, this is a national war!" ”

"Do you know what that tiger is doing now?! He concentrated the forces of a regiment to attack Korea! As he spoke, Yang Ziren took out a newspaper and handed it to everyone present.

Everyone was stunned and took the newspaper. Look at the report that describes the Wehrmacht fighting in Korea. This newspaper was already a few days ago in the Mukden Daily, and it was filled with war correspondents who recorded the Wehrmacht's combat experience, losses, and achievements.

Saw that the Wehrmacht lost more than a hundred pilots and tens of thousands of soldiers because of the attack on Korea! The crowd was silent. Anyone can see clearly that the Wehrmacht cannot compete with the whole of Japan on its own!

But he still chose to attack, and the goal of his attack was to do his best to attract the attention of the Japanese army and then support Lu Xingrong's 52nd Division fighting on the Minjiang River!

In fact, according to common sense, he didn't have to do this at all. The Minjiang River was defeated, and the Nanjing government chose to use negotiations to solve his problem, so why should the local army use troops?!

In this era, soldiers are the life of warlords! Without soldiers, it's a lost dog! Taking the precious soldiers of a hundred battles to relieve the pressure on people who have never known each other thousands of miles away, this is almost unheard of in the entire Republic of China!

Still, the tiger did so.

"You know what?! The most elite troops under Tu Menghu are assisting our troops in resisting the Japanese invasion in the Minjiang River......" Yang Ziren smoked a cigarette. Raised his head to look at the crowd and said in a deep voice.

"According to the observations of our comrades, this unit must be the most elite unit in the Wehrmacht! Their equipment and training, and even their combat capabilities, are completely beyond our imagination! And their equipment, even Comrade Huang Xiaoling has not seen it in the Wehrmacht! ”

"In actual combat, our comrades determined one thing through observation: even if they had only five people, with their combat experience and weapons, they could even contain a squadron of the Japanese army!" Yang Ziren threw the cigarette butt on the ground. Crush it with your feet.

"It's such an elite troop, you can slaughter the tiger and send it out without thinking about it!"

After listening to Yang Ziren's words, everyone couldn't help but fall into silence. Walking the talk with deeds, very few people do. If there were still people who thought that the words of this tiger were just faces, then now they have to admit that this tiger really did what he said and what he did!

"The biggest possibility for us to fight the Japanese is to die in battle! And some 'smart people' will think that we are stupid to die, but if everyone is smart people who are not willing to die in battle and only think about themselves, then our country will be doomed. When the capital is over, will there still be a home......

Yang Ziren looked at everyone and said in a deep voice: "I have communicated with this tiger and asked him what he thinks. That's what he said to me at the time......"

Yang Ziren didn't know that this was not Tu Menghu's original. This sentence comes from a veteran who once participated in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea. This veteran is the old man who led the family back then.

An old man with six shrapnel wounds and more than fifty scars on his body.

"I've never regretted fighting that fight! I'm so proud! After pouring himself a bowl of Fen wine, the old man said to Tu Menghu, who was young at the time: "I have captured captives from 14 countries to hold a sports meeting!" Who can do that?! We did it! ”

"Single-handedly withstanding the attack of 17 countries! Who did it?! We did it! The old man laughed and pulled his collar! The old man's face was full of pride!

"Little cub! Fight well! Don't disgrace this uniform! Don't discredit that flag! What we fought in one battle is the face that we Chinese have lost for hundreds of years! In the ten years since then, no one has dared to bark their teeth at us! ”

As he spoke, the old man smiled narrowly: "There is a group of Ah San who came to look for trouble, and almost even the capital was knocked out by us!" And then for decades, they didn't dare to talk to us. And the Yankees, when they beat the Vietnamese cubs, the prime minister said, 'Don't cross the 17th parallel,' and they don't even dare to come to the border! Haha......"

Back in this era, everyone in the conference room smoked cigarettes and bowed their heads and said nothing. Psychologically speaking, they were very reluctant to rescue Lu Xingrong, who had fought desperately with them.

But what Yang Ziren said made sense, and what the tiger said also made sense! National War! The country is gone, how good will the home be?!

"Let me tell me my opinion......" After a long time, Wu Hao said in a deep voice to everyone: "I think Comrade Ziren's words are reasonable!" What are we founded in red and what are we fighting for?! Isn't it just for a new country?! ”

"Yes! Lu Xingrong fought with us, but now he is fighting to the death against the Japanese for the sake of the country! Saying that, Wu Hao sighed: "According to the news of the National Defense Force, there are less than 2,000 people left in Lu Xingrong's 52nd Division, which is only 4,700 people......

Listening to Wu Hao's words, the rest of the people didn't say anything more. After Yang Ziren lit a cigarette for himself, he said to everyone: "That's it! We all vote by show of hands, and the minority obeys the majority......"

"If you agree to let the comrades in Minjiang support Lu Xingrong, please raise your hand!" As he spoke, Yang Ziren slowly raised his hand. Wu Hao also raised his hand, and several participants were silent for a while and then slowly raised their hands.

Yang Ziren, who originally thought that there would be opposition, looked at Zhang Lie, who had just opposed the most fiercely, to know that Zhang Lie reacted the most fiercely to this matter just now! Yang Ziren didn't expect him to raise his hand in agreement.

"Comrade Ziren, I thought about it for a long time just now. What you and Lao Wu said is very reasonable, no matter how much he Lu Xingrong fights with us, it is a personal feud with different concepts. But he Lu Xingrong fought with the Japanese, that was the national war! The national war is greater than the personal vendetta! Even if we have a lot of hatred with him Lu Xingrong, we should help him when he defends his family and defends the country and fights the Japanese devils! (To be continued)
