    The development of the war in Shanghai was basically predicted by Zhang Xueliang, who was thousands of miles away. Chiang Kai-shek had to admit this secretly and felt a little admiration. However, he once again flatly rejected Zhang Xueliang's request to mobilize the Northeast Army's air force to participate in the war in Shanghai.  At this time, Chiang Kai-shek clearly realized that the scope and scale of the Songhu Battle had expanded and the outward movement of the battle lines was a foregone conclusion. The Nanjing Supreme Command, which was prepared for the rainy day, immediately responded to the nineteen divisions, six brigades and a large number of local areas of the Central Army participating in the war.  Troops were redeployed.  The national army was divided into five groups under the new deployment. Among them, the siege force on Shanghai was commanded by General Zhang Zhizhong, commander-in-chief of the 9th Group Army. The task was to continue to compress the Japanese defense scope in the city, while building a stronghold from Zhenru Town, Dachang Town to  Fortifications were built in Wusong Town and other places to consolidate the foundation of the siege; the garrison area on the south bank of the Yangtze River was commanded by Lieutenant General Huo Kuizhang, commander of the 54th Army, and was tasked with guarding Japanese landing troops along the river in Changshu, Fushan, Kunshan and other places; the garrison area on the north bank of the Yangtze River was commanded by Luo Zhuoying  Lieutenant General, under the jurisdiction of 1 regular division and 3 security regiments, with the task of suppressing Japanese troops from the north of the Yangtze River when they attempt to land on the south bank of the Yangtze River or pass through the river; the garrison area on the north bank of Hangzhou Bay is commanded by General Zhang Fakui, commander-in-chief of the 8th Group Army, and has jurisdiction over  4 divisions, 1 brigade and two artillery regiments fight against possible Japanese landings in the Hangzhou Bay area; the commander of the eastern Zhejiang garrison is General Liu Jianxu, commander-in-chief of the 10th Group Army. The task is to guard the coastal areas of eastern Zhejiang and be ready at any time  Support anti-landing operations in the Hangzhou Bay area.

    On the night of April 7, the leading troops of the Japanese 6th Division and 16th Division, under the cover of their powerful land, sea and air firepower, had defeated the defending national army coastal defense troops in Shizilin, Chuanshakou and other places and successfully landed.  Thinking of Zhang Xueliang's reminder, Zhang Zhizhong immediately ordered the 11th Division and the 98th Division to rush to Luodian, Baoshan and other important places for reinforcements.  At dawn, more than 300 carrier-based bombers taking off from the four Japanese naval aircraft carriers "Akagi", "Kaga", "Soryu" and "Hiryu" cruising offshore flew over Shanghai to attack the advancing Japanese troops.  The army bombed indiscriminately and dropped hundreds of bombs. A large number of Nationalist officers and soldiers were killed and injured. The 33rd Brigade of the 11th Division rushed to Luodian despite Japanese bombing and strafing.  Taking advantage of the unsteady Japanese foothold, the officers and soldiers fought fiercely and defeated more than 500 Japanese troops in Luodian and occupied Luodian.

    Just when the 9th Army was deploying troops to block the Japanese offensive, Chiang Kai-shek specially organized the 15th Army under the command of General Chen Cheng and rushed to Songhu to participate in the battle.  The troops under the 15th Group Army are all elite divisions of the national army, including the 18th Army, which was founded by Chen Cheng in the "civil engineering department", and Hu Zongnan's 1st Army, which is known as the "First Army of the National Army".  All nine divisions of the group army immediately rushed to the battlefield to assist the 9th Army in fighting the Japanese landing troops in various places.  At the same time, the 19th Route Army, the vanguard of the last Songhu War of Resistance, also received orders and immediately rushed from Xuancheng to the Songhu front line to participate in the battle.

    The raging war made the entire Shanghai and surrounding areas like a pot of boiling hot porridge. Every strategic point marked on the map was fought to the death by the National Army and the Japanese Army.  Amidst the thundering sound of killing, the cannons of the Chinese and Japanese warring armies roared and fighter planes roared. The warships of both sides also fought desperately on the Huangpu River. The city of Shanghai shivered in the explosion of artillery shells and bombs. A large number of innocent people were killed in the urban area.  Civilians were accidentally injured by bullets from both sides, and the entire land was burning and bleeding.

    The intensity of the fighting in Luodian Town has reached a boiling point.  In order to compete for this important position on the Songhu battlefield, troops sent by China and Japan continued to plunge into this death purgatory.  On the morning of the 9th, about three brigades of the Japanese 16th Division, under the cover of tanks and aircraft, completely engulfed the 33rd Brigade of the Chinese Army that was standing here; immediately, Zhang Zhizhong immediately ordered the 201st Brigade of the 67th Division and the 1st Section of the 77th Brigade.  After retaking Luodian, the Japanese army once again dispatched a regiment and more than 40 aircraft to storm the area again.  In the unprecedented brutal fighting, the commander of the 201st Brigade, Major General Cai Bingyan, ordered the entire brigade to swear to live or die with Luodian. He led his troops in a bloody battle and repelled several Japanese attacks.  On the 11th, when the entire brigade suffered nine out of ten casualties, Cai Bingyan went to the line of fire, shouted "Those who advance live, those who retreat die!" and led a counterattack. During the fierce battle, he was shot through the chest by a Japanese bullet.  When he was shot, Cai Bingyan raised his hands and shouted "Forward! Forward!" When the guards on the left and right helped him lie down, the sound of "Forward" in General Cai's throat could still be heard faintly with his last breath.  Until the eyes are closed.

    In the early morning of the 12th, the Japanese army regained Luodian from the 201st Brigade, which had suffered all casualties.

    On the 14th, Chen Cheng personally supervised the battle and directed the 18th Army to counterattack Luodian.  The Japanese army dispatched its aerial ace "Kisarazu" aviation brigade to wildly bomb and straf the Chinese army; at the same time, the Japanese side also raised manned observation balloons to conduct in-depth reconnaissance of the Chinese army's positions, and then mobilized artillery to bombard the Chinese army. The 18th Army suffered heavy casualties and continued the offensive for a long time.  No less.  After nightfall, the officers and soldiers of the 18th Army took advantage of the failure of the Japanese army's superior equipment to rush forward and continue to storm Luodian.  The Japanese army also deployed several regiments to reinforce the defenders. The two sides fought repeatedly, leaving corpses strewn all over the Luodian area and rivers of blood flowing in them.  Under the desperate attacks of the Japanese army and the Chinese army, LuoThe coroner accidentally found a bullet from a Southern Type 14 pistol in his brain, and the report soon came into my hands.  The Nambu Type 14 pistol is a pistol exclusively used by Imperial Army officers, so this bullet proves that Ishii died at the hands of someone around him.  And when the Manchurian Army raided Xiaoheishan Island, you were the first one to rush into Ishii's office and drag out Ishii's body!  It's a pity that I didn't think of this until some time ago, so I sent someone to investigate your information and found that your background is very clean, and there is no trace of suspicion of betraying the empire, so I began to suspect that you are not Tsuchiya at all!  I invited you to my home a week ago. Do you remember that glass of Daiginjo sake?  I took the wine glass you used for testing, and the fingerprints on it were indeed different from those of Masaki Tsuchiya in the military archives. Tekko also found some interesting parts at your residence, and assembled them into a miniature radio.  You have been lurking inside the empire for four full years. What a pity!  Originally, you could have continued to hide and send Zhang Xueliang important information about the imperial army's imminent landing in Hangzhou Bay, but you no longer have that chance"

    "China pig" Shimomura Sada and all the Japanese generals present looked at Tsuchiya Masaki - Black Moon-45 with gritted teeth.  If Hideki Tojo hadn't finished speaking, they would have swarmed him and tore him into pieces.  All the Japanese guards were aiming at him, with their fingers on the triggers, waiting for Tojo Hideki's order or any abnormal movement on his part to immediately beat him into a hornet's nest.

    "Black Moon Four and Five, do you have anything else to say before you die? I really like to listen to other people's cries for mercy. If you can cooperate with the imperial army, I will consider sparing you." Tojo Hideki  With a mocking tone, he said, "You have to know that the value of an agent lies in concealment. Once exposed, he is nothing. You have no value to the Manchuria Military Intelligence Agency now. They don't have that ability, and they don't have that need.  , there is no chance to come here to save you. If you choose to cooperate with the Japanese Empire, you can continue and live well. As long as you change Hangzhou Bay in the intelligence sent to Zhang Xueliang to another place name, or change other Manchuria  If you don't hand over the spies' list and passwords, you can get whatever you want. Otherwise, I guarantee you will die in extreme pain."

    Black Moon-45 still had a faint smile on his face that showed no fear of death. The words he spoke made the muscles on Tojo's face suddenly twist into a vicious expression, "Everything in Japan is disgusting to me, including this  In the ugly uniform I've worn for so long. I couldn't be happier to be free."

    "Take it off! You are not qualified to wear the emperor's warrior uniform!" Okamura Neji said angrily.

    Black Moon-45's expression was as calm as water. He gently took off his military cap, took off the colonel's shoulder epaulets, and slowly unbuttoned his military uniform one by one. Since he only had his right hand, his movements were very slow.  When he completely took off his military uniform to reveal his disabled left arm, the pupils of all the Japanese people present shrank sharply. There was a grenade strapped to the amputation of the Black Moon-45 left arm.

    Everyone exclaimed, "General, be careful!" Shimomura Sada shouted and pounced on Tojo Hideki and knocked him to the ground.  In a flash of lightning, the guards hurriedly opened fire within the first reaction time - the gunfire rang out and at the same time the grenade exploded in the small conference room, and thousands of broken, hot shrapnel flew in all directions.  , the Japanese Army Staff was suddenly filled with blood and flesh.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
