We have always thought that the headquarters building would be more comfortable than squatting in a trench, but when we came here we realized that the headquarters was still a hell.

There were more than 20 cars in the car camp that Zhang Zhizhong supported us, and nearly 80 cars we seized from Japan soon formed a transportation team. This transportation team rested during the day and went back and forth between Shanghai and Wufu Lines. After a few days, it transported almost all the ammunition from the arsenal.

Of course, we can't be so stupid as to transport all the ammunition in the arsenal, right? If we left the entire war, our troops with Japanese equipment would not be able to fight. However, after I passed the meeting that day, the Education Chief and the senior officers of the 15th Regiment were very clear that under the current situation, it was impossible for Shanghai to defend this place.

Some people may say that our national army is several times more than that of the Japanese. Although the quality of the Miscellaneous Army is poor, there are also many elite troops of the Central Army. Moreover, the Japanese invasion of China has long made the Chinese hate the Japanese army to the core. Therefore, although there are still many contradictions between the Central Army and the Miscellaneous Army in this battle, they all fought desperately to suppress their lives when facing the Japanese... This way, they can't beat the Japanese?

This statement may still be applicable in the ancient cold weapon battlefield. However, with the development of society, the number of people and even the morale of soldiers have become smaller and smaller in the role of advanced equipment on the battlefield.

Isn't it? If Japan hadn't jumped into the trap set by Chiang Kai-shek in history because of its arrogantness, they would have been afraid that their mechanized troops would have divided China into two halves from north to south like a sharp knife. Even if the national army had a million troops, they were unable to resist the Japanese tanks, aircraft, and cannons because of their poor equipment.

For example, now, the entire Shanghai is covered by the firepower of the large-caliber naval guns of the small Japanese warships, plus two aircraft carriers... It can be said that the Japanese army wanted to razed Shanghai to the ground and disappeared in this world within a few hours. Why did the little Japanese do nothing? One reason is that a Japanese division is surrounded by us, and the other is that there are concessions between Britain, France and the United States in Shanghai. The little Japanese said that they would not dare to anger these powerful people at this time.

In addition, the Japanese army may land on my side, so anyone is clear: it is okay to stagnate in Shanghai, but it is impossible to defend. If we plan to defend in Shanghai, we will only end up putting the elite troops and living forces of the national army at the enemy's gun.

The transport team was transporting ammunition back and forth, and the soldiers of our 15th Regiment were not idle either. According to my advice, Zhang Zhizhong ordered the Central Army to suspend the attack on the surrounded Japanese 11th Division and acted as a siege to attack the Japanese army. The Japanese 11th Division's offensive against our army was still as fierce as the beginning, but it soon became weaker in just one or two days.

In fact, it is no wonder that the Japanese soldiers brought more than fifty vehicles of ammunition with them to us, right? After a few days of fighting, their ammunition quickly became nervous. Even if the quality of Japan is good, they can't fight without bullets. The Japanese army also sent planes to airdrop several times, but the battlefield was filled with smoke and dust. In addition, the 11th Division of the Japanese army was compressed into a small area by our army, so the ammunition that could fall into the hands of the Japanese army may be less than one-fifth of the ammunition that could fall into the hands of the Japanese army after several airdrops, and of course we took all the rest.

But to be honest, although we soldiers stationed in 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 the Japanese don’t care about anything and don’t need the headquarters building... our regiment will probably no longer exist after a bombardment.

Fortunately, all this did not happen. On the fifth night of our terrified garrison headquarters building, we received an order from Shangfeng to replace the brothers of the 77th Army and retreated to the second line for rest. So we asked us to bring our weapons and the remaining ammunition in the ammunition depot and retreat happily. It was only later that I realized that this might not be a good thing...

"Hey, look! They are all the 38th brigades of little Japanese!"

"Even machine guns and grenade launchers are from little Japanese, and there are mortars..."

"It seems like a brother from the Fifty-Nine Army. It 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 envious eyes, especially those officials, looking at our carts of brand new weapons and ammunition... The striking gaze that appeared in our eyes seemed to be able to kill people, and they almost didn't lead the troops to come up and snatch them.

Looking at their appearance, the soldiers and I laughed in our hearts. It was just some weapons and ammunition that made them envious. If they were to see the four tanks and more than thirty mountain cannons we seized, wouldn’t they be so jealous that they vomited blood and died?

Because considering that tanks and mountain cannons were easily destroyed by the Japanese army in this street battle, and the coverage of Japanese naval guns and aircraft was everywhere in Shanghai at this time, it can be said that none of them was safe, so we transferred tanks and mountain cannons to the Wufu line early in the morning.

As for how the tank was driven... At first I thought that French soldiers had rarely seen tanks. Why would anyone drive tanks? For this reason, I even wanted to just give the four tanks to Zhang Zhizhong's Central Army.

Later I realized that I was wrong. Other troops might not have any soldiers who could drive tanks, but Song Zheyuan had them. The reason was that Zhang Xueliang's Northeast Army had bought tanks from Japan before. After the Japanese invaded Northeast China, many soldiers were unwilling to do things under the Japanese, so they fled the troops and defected to various warlords, including some soldiers who could drive tanks.

The troops walked back along the streets of Cangyi, and were filled with houses and cars that were bombed by shells, and there was no need to say about blood and corpses, but we who had just come down from the battlefield seemed to have no feelings about these. The only difference is that the corpses seen on the battlefield were all soldiers, and most of the corpses seen here were people from Shanghai, and many of them were women and children...

For a vicious army like the Japanese, they would not care about any conventions or care if there were only ordinary people and no Chinese military teams. They often bombed just to vent their anger or even just for fun.

"These Japanese devils!" Chen Dali looked at the corpses of the people on the roadside and the tragic situation along the way, and couldn't help but curse fiercely.

I know that if we hadn't had military orders, we would have wanted to turn back and cause trouble for the little Japanese, even though we were so tired that we could hardly even open our eyelids.

All I can do is smile tragically. Why are the suffering the people suffer just a little? Shanghai has the concession of the great powers, so little Japan does not care about the chaos. Compared with the Nanjing Massacre that will arrive in a few months, these are simply not worth mentioning. In other words, the suffering of the people has just begun!

"Everyone has it! Rest in place!"

When the troops finally stopped in a synagogue, everyone, including me, immediately collapsed on the ground like a deflated ball, and the whine, moaning, groaning and complaining came. Then we soon discovered that there were straw mats and neatly folded quilts on the ground, and there was a kettle and lunch box next to the straw mat. As soon as the lunch box was opened, the aroma of the meal immediately came to my nose, so all kinds of sounds were quickly replaced by chewing sounds...

During the days we were stationed in the headquarters building, it was difficult to deliver supplies safely due to Japanese planes and cannon bombings. Therefore, all we used to satisfy our hunger were corn cakes, fried noodles and other convenient pasta. At this time, we could not bear the temptation of this delicious meal. Everyone was holding the lunch box and swallowing it voraciously.

We have always thought that the headquarters building would be more comfortable than squatting in a trench, but when we came here we realized that the headquarters was still a hell.

"Brothers!" At this time, an officer came out from somewhere and shouted at us, "Don't worry, it's safe here! Because behind us is the British Concession, the little Japanese planes and cannons dare not bomb here. What I want to tell my brothers is that these foods, these dishes, and the quilts covered with straw mats you sit on... were prepared for you by the villagers with Japanese shells. Did you see them on the road? Did you see their bodies? Many of those villagers were blown to death by the Japanese to deliver food, bedding or ammunition to the front line. Brothers... we must be worthy of the rice you ate! After eating, remember it in our hearts, remember the blood debt of the Japanese!"

Everyone was stunned when they heard this. The soldiers were just raising food in their mouths like hungry wolves, and at this time they stopped the movements in their hands. I also felt so heavy that I could hardly lift the chopsticks in my hands...

"Why are you standing there?" After a while, the Education Chief shouted at us: "Eat quickly! Eat it all for me. After eating, you can settle the score with the Japanese and seek revenge on the Japanese!"

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

"I'm a devil!"

The soldiers responded one after another, and then quickly squeezed their rice into their mouths, but the difference was that many soldiers were crying while eating... zy
