    Thousands of miles away from the Songhu battlefield where the cannons roared all night long, the northeastern land suddenly became quiet and peaceful when night fell.  The common people in the Northeast are not indifferent to the southern compatriots in Guan who are caught in the war. They just believe in their own army and believe that the Northeast Army under the leadership of Marshal Zhang, who has reached the level of "wise and powerful" in their hearts, will be able to protect the Northeast and enjoy peace forever.  Will assist the Nanjing Central Army to expel the Japanese aggressors and defend the country.

    But the underground conference hall of the Northeast Frontier Defense Department in Shenyang was already filled with a strong and serious atmosphere of an imminent war.  The "tick-tick" sound of transmitting and receiving reports in the listening room of the radio station was mixed all night long. There were people in the conference hall, and the staff officers of the Border Defense Department listened carefully to the Shanghai front line. The war observers of the Northeast Frontier Defense Department and the military advisers at all levels  The latest reports on the military trends of the Chinese army and the Japanese army were sent, and then the development of the war was rigorously marked on the huge sand table in front of Zhang Xueliang.

    Zhang Xueliang stared carefully at the ten-square-meter Songhu battlefield sand table in front of him. Topographic landmarks such as mountains, rivers, towns and villages, and woods and wastelands in the Shanghai area were meticulously marked on the sand table. Several Northeastern Military Academy-level staff officers next to him were paying close attention.  The ground moved the signs representing the Chinese and Japanese armies on the sand table according to the latest battle reports sent from the front line.  Each blue or red triangular flag represents the distribution of the national army and Japanese army in a division (brigade) or a regiment; on the sea of ????Songhu Bund, one red warship model represents the Japanese army participating in the war  The positions of fleet ships; the aircraft models on each airport on both sides represent the location of the aviation forces of both sides.  Although it cannot be 100% correct, it still completely presents the situation of the Songhu battlefield in front of Zhang Xueliang.  At this time, anyone with a discerning eye could see that the Chinese army's offensive in the Shanghai War had declined and gradually entered the defensive stage. On the contrary, the Japanese army was actively advancing with strong troops.

    Zhang Xueliang felt a little gloomy. Although he had indirect intervention, the historical process of the "Battle of Songhu" has basically not been rewritten. So Nanjing will still be captured and massacred by the Japanese 6th Division and 16th Division?  Will more than 300,000 Nanjing compatriots inevitably become the ghosts of Jinling?  How could I ignore death?  Buthow to save it!  Zhang Xueliang, whose heart was heavy, lit up a cigarette and took a deep breath. "Chief of Staff Rong, please tell us in detail the current situation of the Songhu War."

    "Yes, Marshal!" Lieutenant General Rong Zhen, the General Staff Officer of the Northeast Army, saluted, raised his baton and pointed at the sand table and explained in turn, "Baoshan Town, an important place on the Songhu battlefield, was destroyed three days ago, that is, on May 12.  Japan was captured by the Japanese army, and with the fall of another important place, Luodian, yesterday, the situation has become increasingly unfavorable for the national army. Half an hour ago, the entire regiment of the 294th Brigade and 583rd Regiment of the 98th Division of the National Army who guarded the Lion Forest Fort was martyred.  The ground has also fallen into the hands of the Japanese army. The Japanese 43rd Regiment has inserted into Yuepu through the Lion Forest. This marks that the first defensive front of the National Army in Songhu has begun to be broken through by the Japanese army. The Japanese army is currently ensuring the stability of the area it has won.  The superior forces of about two divisions were concentrated to storm the Dachang Town area. The purpose was to cross Yunzaobang and invade from Dachang to the southwest of Shanghai, cut off the Beijing-Shanghai Railway, and isolate the national army defenders from Dachang Town to Jiangwan.  Guarding this department are the 59th, 67th, 77th, 90th Divisions of the National Army and the 66th Army Teaching Brigade. The focus of the Shanghai Campaign has shifted to the Yunzaobang line. Currently, the Japanese 10th, 11th, and 12th reinforcement divisions  All regiments have landed in Shanghai. The participating Japanese troops include five main army divisions and a large number of Japanese Marines and Taiwanese servants. The total strength has reached 150,000. As for the national army, the 21st Group Army of the Gui Army Liao Lei Department and the Sichuan Army Liu Xiang Department  The 23rd Group Army has already deployed to Songhu to participate in the war. The 83rd Army of the Yu Hanmou Department of the Guangdong Army has also received an order to go north to join the war. In addition, the 1st Division, the 130th Division, the Sun Liren Department of the Tax Police General Corps and other units newly transferred from the direct line of the Central Army.  The number of troops participating in the war has reached nearly 700,000, accounting for one-third of the national army (excluding the Northeastern Army and the Red Army of the Communist Party of China). However, except for some direct line troops of the central government, most of the national army's equipment is poor, because the national army is in Yunzaobang  I¡¯m afraid it will be very difficult to fight in the zone!¡±

    Zhang Xueliang looked worriedly at the place marked "Yunzaobang" on the sand table and asked: "What are the current casualty figures of the national army and the Japanese army?"

    "The number of casualties of the national army has exceeded 100,000. The Japanese army is not very clear, but according to the report sent by Colonel Chi and others, it is estimated that the number of Japanese casualties is around 25,000."

    "Four to one" Zhang Xueliang repeated the ratio several times, and nodded slightly with relief, "It's good that the national army can fight like this"

    Rong Zhen shook his head and sighed: "Yes, except for the central artillery division, Su armory division and other direct troops and the Fifth Army and the 19th Route Army that we assisted, the equipment of other troops is poor, even  They can't even keep up with our Fengjun during Lao Shuai's time. Take the 26th Division as an example. Their infantry company only has three machine guns.When Tao Guang heard this, he fell to his knees and begged, "Junzuo! I know I was wrong! I am not willing to die like this! Please Junzuo, please give me a chance to die for my country!"

    Zhang Fakui said angrily: "Okay! We can't win the rice market! If the Japanese can't kill you, I will kill you too!"

    Amidst the thundering sound of killing, Major General Tao Guang, holding an AK-35 assault rifle, took the lead and led 500 suicide squads to risk their lives in the smoke of gunfire and rushed to the rice market where the Japanese army was entrenched; Northeastern Army fighter jets and several  The Japanese aircraft, which were twice as many as his own, fought fiercely for air supremacy; amidst the sound of landslides and earth-shattering artillery, Zhang Fakui personally commanded the artillery battalion of the group army to use Northeastern-made 180mm howitzers to fiercely engage the Japanese artillery to cover the charging death squads.  The Japanese troops in the city fought back fiercely, and the bullet rain formed a row of dazzling white light. The National Army death squads covered with grenades fell in pieces, but the remaining ones continued to hold fire-spitting assault rifles and roared into the Japanese firepower without flinching.  lock up.  The Japanese troops howled and jumped out of the fortifications one after another and launched a counterattack, their countless white bayonets shining dazzlingly in the sun.  The two sides fired fiercely without any hindrance, and large areas of death and blood spread crazily on the battlefield.  Seeing that the death-defying commandos were completely dead and wounded, Zhang Fakui gave the order, and the national troops rushed towards the rice market with shouts.

    On the sea, more than a dozen Japanese ships, including the two heavy cruisers "Kaohsiung" and "Chomi", cruised like ghosts to come for reinforcements. The huge naval guns made an earth-shattering roar.  Flesh and blood flew everywhere under the bombing, and areas were wiped out into ashes.  A few kilometers behind, Zhang Fakui looked at this tragic scene, his heart felt as painful as being gnawed by a giant rat, he clenched his fists tightly, and his nails dug deeply into his flesh.

    "Boom~" The waves of ship-gun bombardments that shook the mountains shook the sea and the sky, making Zhang Fakui's heart tremble.  Suddenly thick smoke billowed from the sea and rose into the sky.  Next to him, Lieutenant General Huang Qixiang, deputy commander of the 8th Group Army, said with surprise and joy: "Commander! Look, the Japanese warship has been hit!"

    Zhang Fakui raised his telescope in surprise. Sure enough, several destroyers on the edge of the Japanese fleet were hit by artillery shells from unknown sources. Fire and smoke shot up into the sky. The Japanese ships were suddenly in a state of confusion and chaos.

    The commander-in-chief of the fleet, Lieutenant General Nagano Shushen of the Japanese Navy, was furious. All the warships were outside the range of the Chinese army¡¯s shore artillery fire. Where did the shells come from?  Could it be that it fell from the sky?  The communications officer next to him rushed over with sweat on his face and reported: "Your Excellency, Commander! The Chinese naval fleet is attacking us!"

    "Baga!" Nagano was furious, "China's Central Navy has been sent to the bottom of the sea and the river bottom behind the Imperial Navy! Another China fleet appeared out of nowhere!" When he angrily raised his telescope and pointed it at the communications officer,  When he came to the southern sea, he suddenly opened his mouth and was speechless.  Between the blue sea and the sky, several warships were speeding in from a distance. The rumbling cannons cracked the sky. More than a dozen seaplanes carrying heavy bombs were flying across the sky and roaring towards them fiercely.  Nagano could recognize that the two smaller light battleships flying on the opponent's side were the "swastika" flags of the German Navy, while the other four large battlecruisers were firing fiercely at him.  What was displayed was the red national flag of China with a blue sky and white sun all over the ground and the black tomahawk flag of the Northeastern Army of China.

    The four "Scharnhorst"-class medium-sized battlecruisers of the Northeast Army, which were completed and returned to China two months ahead of schedule, had just arrived in the Songhu waters after passing through the Taiwan Strait, and immediately entered the naval battle on Zhang Xueliang's order.  The commander-in-chief of the fleet, Rear Admiral Tu Yuanxiong of the Northeast Army, stood proudly on the bridge control tower of the flagship "Shenwu", pointed at the Japanese ship and ordered sternly: "Hit me hard!"
