    We had always thought that garrisoning the headquarters building would be more comfortable than squatting in the trenches. However, when we arrived here, we discovered that the headquarters was still a hell.

    Chapter 25 Civilians

    Zhang Zhizhong supported us with more than 20 vehicles in the automobile camp. In addition to the more than 50 vehicles we seized from Little Japan, nearly 80 vehicles quickly formed a transport team.  This transport team rested during the day and was active at night. It traveled back and forth between Shanghai and the Wufu line. In a few days, it almost transported the ammunition from the arsenal.

    Of course, we can¡¯t be so stupid as to transport all the ammunition in the arsenal, right?  If they are all transported away, our army, which is all Japanese-style equipment, will not be able to fight.  It's just that after the meeting that day, the director of education and the senior officers of the 15th Regiment knew very well that it was impossible to hold Shanghai under the current situation.

    ¡°Some people may say, our national army is several times larger than that of Japan, isn¡¯t it?  Although the quality of the miscellaneous army is poor, there are still elite divisions of the Central Army among them. Moreover, Japan's invasion of China has already made the Chinese people hate the Japanese army. Therefore, in this battle, although the Central Army and the  There are still many unresolved conflicts among the miscellaneous troops, but when facing Little Japan, everyone is fighting with all their might to suppress it Still can't beat Little Japan like this?

    This statement may still be applicable on the ancient cold weapon battlefield. However, as society develops and science and technology become more and more advanced, the number of people and even the morale of soldiers have become less and less important in the outcome of the battlefield. Advanced equipment has become more and more important in the battlefield.  But its role on the battlefield is getting bigger and bigger.

    Isn¡¯t it?  If Japan had not easily jumped into the trap set by Chiang Kai-shek because of its arrogance, their mechanized troops would have divided China in half from north to south like a sharp knife.  Even though the National Army had millions of troops, it was unable to withstand the Japanese tanks, aircraft, and artillery due to poor equipment.

    For example, now, the entire Shanghai is under the firepower of small Japanese warships and large-caliber naval guns, plus two aircraft carriers It can be said that at this time, the Japanese army wants to level any part of Shanghai to the ground. That place will not take more than a few hours.  will disappear in this world.  Why doesn¡¯t Little Japan do the same?  One reason is that a Japanese division is surrounded by us, and the other is that Shanghai has concessions from Britain, France, and the United States. Little Japan dares not anger these powers at this time.

    In addition, the Japanese army may land on our side and behind us, so everyone knows one thing: it is possible for the Japanese army to stagnate in Shanghai, but it cannot be done if it wants to hold on.  If we intend to hold on in Shanghai, the only outcome will be to put the elite troops and effective forces of the national army under the enemy's guns.

    The transport team was carrying ammunition back and forth, and the soldiers of our 15th regiment were not idle either.  According to my suggestion, Zhang Zhizhong ordered the Central Army to suspend the attack on the surrounded Japanese 11th Division, and assumed a posture of encircling the Japanese army to provide reinforcements.  The Japanese 11th Division's offensive against our army was still as fierce at first, but it quickly weakened after only one or two days.

    ¡°Actually, it¡¯s no wonder those little devils, they brought more than 50 trucks of ammunition with the army and delivered them to us, right?  After a day or two, their ammunition quickly became tense.  No matter how good the quality of Xiaoyue is, it will not be able to win this battle without Zicuandan.  The Japanese army also sent aircraft to airdrop several times, but the battlefield was already full of smoke and dust. In addition, the Japanese 11th Division was compressed into a small area by our army, so several airdrops could not land.  Perhaps less than one-fifth of the ammunition reached the Japanese army, and of course we took the rest as ordered.

    But to be honest, although we soldiers stationed at the headquarters building are not afraid of the attack of the 11th Japanese Regiment, we always feel numb from time to time.  Because everyone knows that if Japan doesn't care about anything and doesn't need this headquarters buildingthen our regiment will probably cease to exist after a burst of shelling.

    Fortunately, this did not happen. On the fifth night of our fearful garrison at the headquarters building, we received an order from the top to switch defenses with the brothers of the 77th Army and withdraw to the second line for rest. So we were asked to bring weapons and ammunition.  The remaining ammunition in the library retreated happily.  Only later did I realize that this might not be a good thing

    "Hey, look! They're all from Little Japan!"

    "Even the machine guns and grenade launchers are from Little Japan, as well as mortars"

    "It seems that he is a brother of the 59th Army, but his appearance has changed after a trip to the front line!"

    On the way back to the second line, the troops passing by us all looked at us with envy, especially those who were officials, looking at our carts of brand-new weapons and ammunition there was excitement in their eyes.  The look of envy he showed was as if he knew how to kill someone, so he just came up to rob him without any troops.

    Looking at their looks, IThe soldiers secretly laughed in their hearts. Just some weapons and ammunition made them so envious. If they saw the four tanks and more than 30 mountain guns we captured, they would be so jealous that they would vomit blood and die.  ?

    Because tanks and mountain artillery were easily destroyed by the Japanese in this street battle, and Shanghai at this time was full of Japanese naval guns and aircraft, it could be said that no place was safe, so we put the tanks and cannons out early in the morning.  The mountain artillery was transferred to the Wufu line.

    As for how the tank was driven I also had this thought at first. French soldiers have rarely seen tanks, so why would anyone drive a tank?  For this reason, I even thought of simply doing a favor and giving those four tanks to Zhang Zhizhong's Central Army.

    Later, I realized that I was wrong. Other armies may not have soldiers who can drive tanks, but Song Zheyuan's men did.  The reason is that Zhang Xueliang's Northeast Army had purchased tanks from Little Japan before. After the Japanese invaded Northeast, many soldiers were unwilling to work under the Japanese, so they fled the army and joined various warlords, including some who could drive tanks.  soldiers.

    The troops walked back along the streets full of barbarians. There were houses blown up by shells and shabby cars and sedans everywhere. There was no need to mention blood and corpses. It was just those of us who had just returned from the battlefield.  Those who have come down from the sea of ??blood seem to have no feeling for these things.  The only difference is: the corpses seen on the battlefield are all of soldiers, while most of the corpses seen here are ordinary people in Shanghai, and many are even women and children

    For such a cruel force as Little Japan, they don¡¯t care about any conventions and don¡¯t care whether there are only ordinary people here and no Chinese troops. They often bomb just to vent their anger or even just for fun.

    "These little bastards!" Chen Dali couldn't help but cursed fiercely when he looked at the corpses of the people on the roadside and the tragic situation along the way.

    I know that if there were no military orders, a character like Chen Dali would be eager to go back and cause trouble for Little Japan, even though we are so tired now that we can hardly even open our eyelids.

    All I can do is smile miserably. Why do the people suffer so little? Shanghai is a concession of the great powers, so little Japan doesn't care what happens. Compared with the Nanjing Massacre that will come in a few months, this is simply nothing.  It can be said that it is not worth mentioning.  In other words, the suffering of the people has just begun!

    "Everyone has it! Rest where you are!"

    When the troops finally stopped in a hall, everyone, including me, immediately collapsed on the ground like deflated rubber balls, and whines, groans, and complaints followed.  Then we soon discovered that there were straw mats and neatly folded quilts on the ground. There was a kettle and a lunch box next to the straw mat. As soon as the lunch box was opened, the aroma of the food immediately hit our nostrils, so all kinds of noises were heard.  Soon it was replaced by bursts of chewing sounds

    During the few days we were stationed at the headquarters building, it was difficult to deliver supplies safely due to bombing by Japanese planes and artillery, so all we used to satisfy our hunger were corn tortillas, fried noodles and other portable pasta. How could we bear it at this time?  The temptation of this fragrant meal made everyone hug the lunch box and wolf it down.

    We have always thought that garrisoning the headquarters building would be more comfortable than squatting in the trenches. However, when we came here, we discovered that the headquarters was still a hell.

    "Brothers!" At this time, an officer came out of nowhere and shouted at us: "Eat with confidence, it is very safe here! Because behind us is the British Concession, and Japanese aircraft and artillery dare not  Bomb this place. What I want to tell the brothers is that these meals, these dishes, and the straw mats and quilts you are sitting onare all prepared by the villagers for you despite the enemy's shells. Did you see them on the road?  Have you seen their corpses? Many of those villagers were blown up by the Japanese just to deliver food and bedding to us or to deliver ammunition to the front line. Brotherswe must eat them worthy of you.  This is a mouthful of rice! After you finish eating it, remember it in your heart and remember this little devil¡¯s blood debt!"

    Hearing this, everyone was stunned. Just now, the soldiers were picking food into their mouths like hungry wolves. At this time, they all stopped and stopped their movements in unison.  I also felt that my heart was so heavy that I could hardly lift the chopsticks in my hand

    "What are you doing standing still?" After a while, the director of education yelled at us: "Eat quickly! Eat them all for me. After you finish eating, you can settle accounts with the Japanese and take revenge on the Japanese!"

    "Yes! After eating, we'll settle the score with the Japanese!"

    "I will take revenge!"

    The soldiers responded one after another, and then quickly put rice into their mouths again, but the only difference from before was that many soldiers were crying while eatingzy
