Chapter 372: Exchanging Blood for Life

"Then how exactly should we fight this battle?" Wen Yingxing asked hesitantly.

"This time, we can also let go of our hands and feet to fight as much as we want! Fortunately, Lao Tzu was prepared. Jin Zhao said, and the corners of his mouth showed a hint of a sinister smile. During the first battle to defend Nanjing, the little devils burned and plundered all the way, doing all kinds of evil, and hundreds of thousands of innocent people along the way from Shanghai to Nanjing were tragically attacked by the army, and Jin Zhao naturally did not want such a tragedy to happen again. So for a period of time, Jin Zhao has been busy evacuating the masses, not only hundreds of thousands of people in Nanjing City have been coaxed and deceived by Jin Zhao, plus a little bit of compulsory surname measures, directly transferred to Fujian, even the people in Wuxi, Changzhou, Zhenjiang, Huzhou and other places have been evacuated, and a considerable part of them have gone to Fujian.

At present, Fujian is still vigorously developing the construction of national defense industry, and now Fujian's population has become an important reason restricting Fujian's development, so Jin Zhao will not refuse to come to these refugees. This is the best of both worlds, which not only solves the population problem in Fujian, but also prevents these civilians from being poisoned by little devils in the future if they stay in the war zone. The most important thing is that Jin Zhao's work in clearing the wilderness has also brought a lot of trouble to the army, because in the past, because the army was under too much logistical pressure, many troops plundered grain on the spot, but now they can't grab it even if they want to. At the same time, all the civilians retreated, and Jin Zhao had a lot less scruples, so he could let go of his hands and feet and have a good fight with the little devils.

In February 1938, the Second Battle of Nanjing broke out. The North Road Army, under the leadership of Gangcun Ningci, took the lead in launching an attack. The main forces of the 3rd Division and the 9th Division attacked Wuxi, while the 11th Division attacked Jiangyin.

At this time, on the line from Jiangyin to Wuxi on the North Road, Jin Zhao only deployed three divisions, namely the 205th Division, 206th Division, and 207th Division of the New 7th Army under Situ Fei. In the face of the onslaught of the three main divisions of the army, the new 7th Army was under great pressure, and the army commander Situ Fei called Jin Zhao twice to ask for reinforcements, but Jin Zhao refused, and Jin Zhao ordered Situ Fei's department to defend the defensive line, and he was not allowed to retreat half a step back without an order.

"The army is strong, and our army is seriously insufficient, so I suggest that we give up Wuxi to shrink our forces, and then look for an opportunity to fight a decisive battle with the army." Wen Yingxing once again persuaded Jin Zhao. Only Wen Yingxing knew in his heart that it was not that Jin Zhao was unwilling to send troops to support, but because Jin Zhao really had no troops to send. Jin Zhao now has only two group armies in his hands, of which the 37th Group Army guards the north road and the 25th Group Army guards the south road. However, the 37th Group Army had only five divisions in total, and all three divisions had reached the front line, which was already most of the strength of the 37th Group Army.

Jin Zhao shook his head helplessly and said, "I don't know about this, but this battle must be fought!" Jin Zhao's tone was still extremely firm, and Wen Yingxing couldn't help but shake his head secretly.

At this time, Jin Zhao threw the cigarette butt in his hand to the ground, and sighed helplessly, "Our Fujian army is ordered to defend the capital, if we abandon the position, the impact on us will be very unfavorable." Therefore, this battle must be fought no matter what, and we must let the people of the whole country and the little devils know our determination to defend Nanjing! ”

Wen Yingxing also sighed helplessly after hearing this, "Three divisions, the army has only dispatched three divisions, and the pressure on the front line is so great, you must know that Okamura Ningji still has three divisions in his hands!" If the army is fully engaged in battle, once our army's defense line is broken, it is very likely that our army will completely collapse! Wen Yingxing frowned even deeper when he said this!

Jin Zhao took out a cigarette again and took a puff, slowly exhaling a cloud of smoke, "I said that it is not impossible for a little devil to occupy Nanjing, but he must exchange his blood and his life for it!" I've prepared a big gift for the little devil, so let's wait to see the show! Saying that, a strange smile leaked from the corner of Jin Zhao's mouth.

"Boom!" A violent explosion rang out, and a flash of fire immediately rose from the ground. Looking at the gunpowder smoke rising into the sky, Chen Dazhu couldn't help but open his mouth wide, looking at the shocking scene in front of him, he was stunned for a while.

Chen Dazhu suddenly felt that someone behind him pulled him, and then a loud voice exploded in his ears. "Hurry up into the anti-artillery hole, the little devil is going to fire again, and he is waiting here to die!" Chen Dazhu woke up instantly, and suddenly turned around to see a black face with a full beard facing him, Chen Dazhu was stunned for a moment and immediately recognized that the owner of this face was his company commander, a fierce and ruthless guy. This is Chen Dazhu's deepest impression of this company commander.

Chen Dazhu knew that the company commander was powerful, so he turned his head and ran towards the anti-artillery hole, he knew that if he moved slowly, he might be kicked by the company commander. Fortunately, the company commander didn't pay much attention to Chen Dazhu, and continued to walk along the trench, constantly reminding the soldiers in the trench to quickly hide in the anti-artillery hole.

Just now it was just a test firing of the little devils, and soon the overwhelming artillery fire fell on the position of the Fujian army, and this time the artillery fire was extremely fierce, and the position was submerged in a piece of artillery fire in an instant. Soon the artillery of the Fujian army also began to return fire, and the battlefield suddenly became lively, and the artillery on both sides were fighting back and forth, and there were bursts of motor roars and the whistling sound of airplanes in the faint sky, and the fighters of both sides in the sky also began to exchange fire.

Listening to the deafening explosions that kept coming from outside, Chen Dazhu's face turned pale, and his hands tightly grasped the semi-automatic rifle in his hand. Chen Dazhu couldn't help but admire the few veterans sitting opposite him, smoking cigarettes and chatting casually. At this time, they were still laughing, weren't they afraid that a shell would fall and directly blow everyone into the sky.

Chen Dazhu didn't want to die, not because he was afraid of death, but because he was reluctant to die, let alone dead! Chen Dazhu is 22 years old this year, but he didn't marry a daughter-in-law until the year before last, and it is too late for them to get married at this age, no way, who makes the family poor! Being able to marry a daughter-in-law, Chen Dazhu is already very content, although the daughter-in-law is not beautiful, but she is an honest person, and Chen Dazhu has nothing to find fault with. And just a few months ago, he gave birth to a white and chubby son to Chen Dazhu, Chen Dazhu became even more content, and even felt that he was the happiest person in the world, and he couldn't close his mouth when he smiled all day long. When he met people, he praised how good his son was, as if he was afraid that others would not know that he had just given birth to a son. (To be continued.) )
