When Huang Zhengzhong was gnawing sand on the grassland, his elder brother Huang Zheng had already led his troops from the Northeast Battlefield to the East China Battlefield. Their next target was Shanghai, the largest city in the Far East.

Xue Boling received the latest order, and in three days, no matter what the situation in Shanghai, they were to launch a general attack on Shanghai.

In order to accurately dismantle the Japanese command system in East China, he requested the transfer of elite paratroopers. With the hundreds of thousands of steel torrents of the First Army Group, it was already a sure thing to defeat the Japanese army in East China and regain Shanghai, and now all they have to do is how to minimize the losses.

The salvo of 10,000 artillery and the crushing of armored troops are undoubtedly the fastest method, but this method of warfare is certainly not suitable for Shanghai, because this is its own territory, and the battlefield needs to be carried out to consider the possible impact.

As a last resort, I retreated to the next best thing, and thought of the tactic of using paratroopers to accurately drop and then sweep the large army to storm the Japanese defense line. As with all raids, paratroopers and helicopter gunships cooperate to carry out precise airdrops at the first time, seizing a series of important facilities such as the enemy's important command organs, radio stations, power supplies, and docks. This was not a problem for Zhu Jingxing and Huang Zheng, who were familiar with special operations, and after meeting with Commander Xue Boling, they drew up an operational plan based on his requirements and prior reconnaissance.

The specific combat plan was that on the night of three days later, the airborne troops would carry out an airborne surprise attack, focusing on attacking the central command structure of the Japanese army.

Xue Boling said: "The difficulty is not small, and the task is arduous. After all, the Japanese still had nearly 100,000 troops in Shanghai. However, you are not alone, we still have an underground army in Nanjing, not to mention thousands of people, as well as the puppet army of Toucheng, plus the millions of people in Shanghai, all of whom are your strong backing. ”

"Of course, our First Army Group will also launch a general attack on Shanghai after you have done it. Overall, you still have a strong backing. ”

Xue Boling said this heartily, in fact, to make Huang Zheng and them more relaxed. Going deep into the enemy's den, no one knows what they will face in the next second, but they are all used to this kind of day, paratroopers are born to be surrounded!

……

While the First Army Group was discussing how to carry out the attack at the Shanghai Front Headquarters, the Japanese East China Front had already begun the second group of evacuations.

The Japanese retreat has been confirmed and is already being implemented. After the first Japanese troops left the port of Shanghai, they sailed directly to the Japanese mainland.

This is the second batch, and unlike the first batch, this group of evacuated Japanese troops is not only non-combat troops, but also many officers and soldiers of combat units. Several elite wings began to withdraw to the Japanese mainland.

Dozens of requisitioned merchant and civilian ships were anchored at the Shanghai docks, the largest of which was the Sben Maru.

The long whistle sounded constantly. The Japanese officers and soldiers who received the evacuation order lined up in long lines, and the scenes of evacuation were everywhere, and these Japanese officers and soldiers walked to the cabin of their return ship.

A few years ago, they also landed in Shanghai from here, when these Japanese soldiers set foot on this land with an arrogant face and a look of contempt of a conqueror, and now they leave with the ashes of their comrades in their arms, and their faces are full of the calmness and silence of losers.

"Miss Huizi, we are leaving, and the affairs of Shanghai will be entrusted to you!" Outside the Shanghai dock, the Japanese soldier Suzuki Jiro was saying goodbye to Ouyang Huizi, who saw him off.

"Hay! Rest assured, Mr. Suzuki, I have fulfilled my mission! Ouyang Huizi snapped and bowed.

"Well, for the Empire!" Suzuki Jiro's face was grim, and after shouting with a fist in his right hand, he got into the car that picked him up without looking back, and drove towards the spiral staircase.

Not far from Ouyang Huizi was a long line of Japanese soldiers, who were also evacuated on the ship Sben Maru, the difference was that the senior officers could drive directly to the spiral staircase and had comfortable and spacious rest cabins, while they could only line up here like ants, squeezing to the lower level like canned sardines.

But none of this mattered, for these Japanese soldiers, after many years of fighting, they were finally able to go home. Most of the officers and soldiers still hope to be evacuated, after all, no one wants to be turned into a pair of ashes in a foreign country.

But for a mad militarist like Jiro Suzuki, or someone who aspires to make a difference in the war, evacuation would undoubtedly be tantamount to depriving him of half of his right to life.

With a gloomy face along the way, with the help of his entourage, he found his cabin, which was good first class, spacious inside, with separate bathing facilities and toilets, and with the curtains closed, he was able to see the port of Shanghai not far away.

Jiro Suzuki didn't open the curtains, he closed the hatch and sat on the bed with his stomach alone.

He wondered why this war was lost. The original Sino-Japanese war, which was based on the fortunes of the country, was able to win, but why is today's war completely different?

Because of the United States? Or is the Chinese self-awakening? Or both.

He didn't know the answer, but even if he did, he wouldn't be able to undo the failed settlement.

He pulled out a wallet on his chest, which contained a fixed-point map of the "kamikaze plan", which was absolutely confidential, and this was the final outcome of their redemption of failure.

Covering the wallet, I saw a photo of his daughter and wife and his family of three on the title page. The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, Hmm! Jiro Suzuki breathed a sigh of relief, there are still some good things to do when he returns home, at least he can go to see his daughter and wife.

Knock knock! There was a rhythmic knock on the door.

"Come in!" After Jiro Suzuki gave the order, the man came in, it was the crew to check the information of the boarders and their registrations, so that no one could take advantage of the opportunity to get in.

Suzuki Jiro handed over his documents, the crew couldn't see clearly, opened the curtains, and after seeing it clearly, he immediately said: "Your Excellency, this is your documents, we have more than ten minutes to sail, if you need anything, you can go upstairs to find us." ”

"yes, got it." Jiro Suzuki nodded slightly.

"Hay!" The crew nodded and went out, closing the door.

After a while, the giant ship sounded its whistle, and then, under the traction of the barge, the giant ship began to slowly move towards the center of the sea.

Jiro Suzuki watched Shanghai fade away from the window, and he knew that it would be difficult for him to set foot on this mainland land in the future. Thinking about it, it really makes people feel sad, looking at the high-rise buildings not far away, the corners of his mouth can't help but smile, this rich place, I'm afraid it will soon become history!

"If you can't get it, you will destroy them!" Jiro Suzuki gritted his teeth and muttered to himself.

……

Han Kwang received an order to distribute the weapons as soon as possible and be ready to cooperate with the airborne forces in action.

This is what these underground workers have been waiting for for a long time, but it is also the most critical time. Lao Pan and other comrades from the Reserve Cadres Department gathered in Han Guang's residence, and everyone had a whole night meeting, during which Mo Bing lost more than a dozen pots of boiling water and smoked more than a dozen boxes of cigarettes, and the whole room was full of smoke. Everyone had to consider all the plans and details, and before they knew it, it was dawn.

Lao Pan extinguished the cigarette butt in his hand, this night of smoking and talking made his mouth dry, and now his tongue is wooden.

"At the moment, we have more than 30 hours left before the start of the operation, and in these 30 hours, in addition to conveying orders, we also have to distribute weapons and ensure that the work is carried out in secrecy. Comrades, our task is not light, now let's go and rest first, and don't get too tired. ”

Lao Pan's concluding remarks came to an end to the meeting, and everyone stood up and prepared to go back. After a while, everyone in the conference room dispersed.

Lao Pan packed up his things, looked at Han Guang who was thinking about it and asked, "Old Han, what's wrong with you?" If you're tired, go get some rest, and don't forget to get the word around in the afternoon. ”

Han Guang stood up and shook his head and said, "Old Pan, I always feel that something is wrong. ”

Lao Pan saw him say something like this, so he smiled and said, "You are tired!" It's no wonder that there are inevitably some worries before the action, which is also a normal reflection. ”

Han Guang shook his head, "Don't you think it's too terrible to be quiet now?" ”

Mo Bing and Hu Biao, who were cleaning up the tea set and the chair and bench, stopped their busy work, and their eyes focused on Han Guang. Han Guang pursed his lips and continued: "It stands to reason that the Japanese army's intelligence agencies in Shanghai are as dense as a spider's web, but today they are very abnormal, not only did they not do any damage to us, but they did not even conduct a search and arrest operation. This is not in keeping with the style of the Japanese intelligence services. ”

"Hey, little Japan is busy withdrawing towards Japan now, where is the time to care about our affairs?" Hu Biao said disapprovingly after hearing this.

Lao Pan didn't express an opinion, he looked at Han Guang as if he wanted to find his answer.

Han Guang followed Hu Biao's words: "Judging from my experience with Japanese intelligence services, it is unlikely that they will be like this. You must know that the Japanese intelligence services are a group of extremely fanatical and highly intelligent people who are in charge, and they will not be so stupid as to let it go when they have not yet evacuated. ”

"This is your subjective judgment, could there be some personal factors in it?" Lao Pan reminded.

Han Guang disagreed, and he asked rhetorically: "The Japanese army is now withdrawing on a large scale, but the defense line on the front line in Shanghai is still fully guarded. Not to mention anything else, the Broadway buildings are all standing guard day and night, and ordinary Japanese soldiers can still hold on? Not to mention those mad militarists who claim to be elite? ”

When Han Guang said this, everyone also felt that his speculation seemed to have some truth.

"Brother Han, what do you think?" Mo Bing asked.

Han Guang's eyes were like torches, and he said word by word: "They must have a conspiracy!" ”
