Rise From Eight Hundred

There was just a glimmer of light on the horizon.

The Japanese army, which surrounded Songjiang on three sides, had already started to get busy on the battlefield, eating, organizing equipment, and the officers of various departments loudly conveyed the military orders they had just received.

The soldiers' solemn faces looked even gloomier under the shadow of their helmets, and they just mechanically stuffed the freshly heated rice balls into their mouths.

The Japanese heavy artillery brigade's position had already been fully prepared, waiting for an order from the top to teach the Chinese a lesson with their artillery.

A full 4 bases of artillery shells were placed more than ten meters away from each artillery. Because the Chinese artillery range was not that far, the Japanese artillerymen had no scruples. What they had to do was to pour the shells on the Chinese's hard shells at the fastest speed, and completely smash the shields that buried countless imperial infantrymen.

As heavy artillery shells exploded around the already broken walls of Songjiang, the Japanese infantrymen began to enter the front-line positions, and the Japanese lower-level officers began to shout slogans heartbreakingly, and the Japanese infantrymen continued to respond loudly.

"Onboard!"

"Long live the Empire!"

"May the Empire's military fortune flourish!"

The various slogans to boost morale, shouted in unison by nearly 20,000 infantrymen, were not as loud as a tsunami to overwhelm the rumbling of artillery in the distance, but their power was also extremely terrifying.

The Japanese army, determined to fight a decisive battle with the Chinese defenders, had already mustered their strength, and their morale was gradually improving compared to yesterday.

This finally made Yanagawa Heisuke, who was standing in the command post with a telescope hanging around his neck and a helmet for the first time, finally smile.

The army's morale can be used! This battle must be won!

However, the commander of the 10th Army, Lieutenant General, did not see the face of his colleagues more than ten miles away.

That was Lieutenant General Ushijima Sadao, who personally commanded an infantry brigade of the 18th Division to surround the north city, and his face was slightly stiff.

Frontline officers kept coming to report to him that there were traces of a large number of people trampling in the wilderness outside the north city of Songjiang, as well as feces and scattered grass left by horses.

Is this the Chinese reinforcement?

This was Ushijima Sadao's first thought.

But there was no such possibility. Not to mention that after Songjiang, he gave Yanagawa Heisuke an order to send a 400-man task force, and the other divisions also sent small-scale reconnaissance scouts. During the day, there were reconnaissance planes sent by the navy to patrol. It was impossible that they could not find large-scale Chinese troop support.

This place is nearly 60 kilometers away from the west of Shanghai. Unless the Chinese have wings, they can move tens of thousands of troops overnight.

But no matter how confused he was, Ushijima Sadao immediately sent a telegram to Yanagawa Heisuke about the traces of large-scale troops passing by.

Hearing this news, Yanagawa Heisuke was as unbelievable as Ushijima Sadao. He was not surprised that the Chinese reinforcements would enter Songjiang City through the Baihe Port Bridge at such a terrible speed, but he did not believe that the Chinese commander would have such great courage.

China has completely lost air superiority, and Songjiang is surrounded by a large army of nearly 100,000 troops. Let alone sending an infantry division, even if it is three or five, it is basically throwing fat meat into the tiger's mouth. This is a deadly place.

The Chinese defenders in Songjiang City have delayed his Tenth Army for nearly four days and nights. From a strategic point of view, they have completed their mission.

Because of them, the Chinese in the west of Shanghai have withdrawn at least half of their troops. Although their heroic and deadly battles made Yanagawa Heisuke hate them, from a purely military perspective, Yanagawa Heisuke still admired the Chinese commander in the city.

Yanagawa Heisuke has even thought about it. After the city is broken, he will find the highest commander of the Songjiang defenders. He will shoot him and bury him.

But this courtesy is only for the outstanding soldiers who can compete with his Tenth Army for several days, not for those Chinese senior officials who performed extremely poorly in the war.

Yanagawa Heisuke can't find the reason why they have such courage.

Unless

The commander of the 10th Japanese Army, who had been pacing and thinking hard in the headquarters for several minutes, suddenly froze.

He looked into the distance with some difficulty, and he seemed to have found the reason.

But it was not because of the reinforcements.

Rather, he seemed to have made a huge mistake.

He believed too much in the top-secret intelligence from China.

This thing is not necessarily true.

Perhaps, it is fake from the source, a complete deception.

Since the Chinese cannot have reinforcements, why can't they run?

He was fooled by the Chinese! The lieutenant general commander, who was suddenly enlightened, felt that his soles were cold.

"Commander, what's wrong?" Sakai Tokutaro, who had been accompanying Yanagawa Heisuke, asked cautiously and softly.

The Major General Brigade Commander, who was praised by the outside world as the most unlucky commander of the 10th Army, was originally a cautious person. In addition to killing his Lieutenant General Division Commander and the Major General Chief of Staff of the Army Headquarters, the 11th Infantry Brigade under his command almost lost its combat effectiveness. If Yanagawa Heisuke had not used his 11th Infantry Brigade headquarters to comfort him, he could only hide in the headquarters and drink alone. Of course, he was even more timid at this moment.

The soft voice, those who didn't know would think that this Japanese Army Major General secretly practiced the "Sunflower Manual".

"Sakai-kun, are we fooled?" Yanagawa Heisuke, who had stabilized his mind, had a humiliated look on his face and a fierce light in his eyes.

"What do you mean?" Sakai Tokutaro's heart skipped a beat.

Although this person was labeled as unlucky, he was not stupid.

The message just sent by Ushijima Sadao has two possibilities: China has sent reinforcements; the Chinese have escaped.

If the Commander determines that he was deceived, doesn't that mean that the Chinese escaped?

To put it bluntly, the impassioned messages sent by the Chinese in Songjiang City to their superiors were just a cover. However, it was not to deceive their boss, but to deceive them.

"Order the heavy artillery brigade to stop shelling, notify the front to send an infantry team to quickly approach the Chinese defense line, and tell them to work quickly. If my guess is correct, there are no Chinese in the city, not a single one. "After Yanagawa Heisuke gave the order, he sat down on the chair.

Ignoring Sakai Tokutaro anymore seemed to have exhausted all his strength.

If the facts prove his suspicion, then he will be completely defeated in this battle of Songjiang.

A general with an army of 100,000 people was held up by a Chinese army of only 30,000 people that seemed to be easily crushed. After four days, he fled away, but he is still here clenching his fists and exerting all his strength. The feeling of planning to have a big fight is beyond words.

If I have to make an analogy, it's like a strong man was kicked in the crotch by a young girl who could have been pressed to the ground and rubbed hard, and then he hooked Yanagawa Xiaoro's chin with a smile, be good, don't worry , waiting for you tonight! In the end, there was nothing.

Not wanting to talk to Tokutaro Sakai, the famous Lieutenant General Commander of the Tenth Army naturally felt that the thin man in front of him was so unlucky that if I said another word to him, he might kill him. !

Yanagawa Heisuke's mind was very flexible and he guessed the truth.

Cursing in his heart that the lieutenant general commander is not a thing, the extremely anxious Japanese infantry team arrived at the city fortifications without any danger.

no one.

Not only was there no one inside the city wall fortifications.

Songjiang City was also quiet, and the silence was eerie.

Dozens of infantrymen broke into the city defense in an offensive formation, but were not met with the hail of bullets as expected until they entered deeper into the city.

As the signal soldiers ran out crazily, more and more Japanese infantry strode into the city.

The military flag representing victory was planted on the top of the city, and the cheers of victory resounded throughout Songjiang.

Without firing a single shot or killing anyone, they captured a city that was previously difficult to fight. For ordinary infantrymen, this is a matter worth celebrating.

However, the Japanese generals who had stood at attention in a military meeting a few hours ago and were determined to fight the Chinese to the death once again expressed a unified expression.

His face looked as ugly as if he had swallowed a big mouthful of hot food.

It's too much, it's too much.

Baga, where is the one who promised to fight to the death until every soldier is killed?

That's it?

You ran away without leaving a single soldier behind!

No, to be precise, there is not even a dog. In Songjiang City, except for the Japanese who are enjoying themselves, no one is watching. They laugh awkwardly, and the happiness index is almost 0.

Even if they win, they are so frustrated. This is the mood of the Japanese commanders at all levels at this time.

But being frustrated is just the beginning.

The trouble is still to come.

Although the Chinese, who had greased their soles, left no living things behind, they still left a lot of dead things in the city.

Not the almost stinking corpses of Japanese infantry still left in the ruins...
