Chapter 49 Hongqiao Airport Incident (2)

"Boom!" At the moment Brother Shen warned the police, a gunshot rang out.

With his eyes open, Brother Shen felt a shower of raindrops on his face, and stretched out his hand to wipe it, it was blood!

I was fine and conscious, turned my head and looked to the side, Xiao Ning, who was still talking to me about the family situation, had her eyes open, and her chest was soaked in blood.

"Xiao Ning! Xiao Ning!" Brother Shen picked up Xiao Ning, his lungs were punctured, and he vomited blood from his mouth like a gushing spring. He exhaled more air than inhaled, and saw his eyes lose their luster!

"Evil!" Brother Shen roared angrily, picked up the regular rifle next to him, and pulled the trigger on the speeding car.

All the soldiers who reacted before the checkpoint raised their guns and pointed at the car, "Bang bang bang!" There was a neat gunshot at the car!

They did not cower like ordinary security guards, because they were not real airport security guards. In fact, they had already been replaced by regular army soldiers from the 2nd Independent Brigade. They were ordered by General Zhang to take off their military uniforms and disguise themselves as security guards. The purpose of the team stationed at Hongqiao Airport is to prevent the Japanese army from seizing this important area, as a support point to support the Marine Corps from Hongkou to attack Zhabei.

The order these guarding soldiers received was "if someone breaks into the card, kill them immediately!", not to mention that now their comrades are dying right under their noses.

"Squeak!" There was a harsh brake, Saito hid his head and knocked on the steering wheel, his forehead was wiped with blood, and he was dizzy, the window of the car was shattered by bullets, he turned his head to look at the officer beside him, Isamu Oyama, who had been shot He was shot dead, and he couldn't stop vomiting blood from his mouth.

The gunshots hadn't stopped yet, and Saito's instinct for survival made him subconsciously turn the steering wheel. When he stepped on the accelerator, the car made a sharp and piercing friction sound.After turning a corner, Saito asked Zang to follow the same road and drive fast.

"Puff Chi Chi!" There was a sound of deflation, and the car suddenly changed its track and rushed into the field crookedly, the tires were blown away by bullets.

Saito wanted to hide his foot and jump into the car door, stumbled out of the car, wishing he would have two more legs, and the gunshots continued behind him.

The soldier named Brother Shen stepped on the roof of the car with a big stride, in a standard one-knee shooting posture, aiming at the panicked figure at three points and one line.

"Boom!" Saito tried to hide and "clacked" twice, and his body fell into the weeds.

"Xiao Ning, rest in peace, the platoon leader has avenged you!" Brother Shen put away his spear and jumped out of the car in a bad mood.

The gunshots echoed, and the world returned to silence.

It was only a while after the gunshots at Hongqiao Airport, and they were stationed in the headquarters of the Marine Corps in Shanghai.

"Your Excellency, Commander, Dashan Yufu and Saito want all the jade pieces from Zang Jun."

"Immediately send a note to the SH city government, asking them to hand over the murderer and withdraw the Shanghai security forces immediately, and dismantle all the fortifications." Listening to his subordinate's report, the commander's face did not show any sadness about the death of his soldiers, but his eyes were full of sadness. With a smile of success.

The card punching incident at Hongqiao Airport was quickly spread to the Ninth Army Combat Command, that is, General Zhang of the Central Army.

"General Zhang, do you see this matter?"

"It's exactly the same as the Marco Polo Bridge, order to go down and strengthen the guard! The Japanese will attack everywhere!"

"Yes!" The waiter closed the folder, stood at attention and bowed, then stepped back.

Sure enough, not long after, the Japanese army rudely demanded that it be transferred from the SH city government to General Zhang.

Far away in the Nationalist Government in Nanjing, the Chairman stood in front of the huge French windows and said in a calm voice, "Tell Wen Bai that the Lugouqiao 29th Army responded with guns.

In the command room of the Central Group Army, General Zhang didn't even look at it, and directly crumpled the Japanese army's note into a ball and threw it aside.

"Bagaya Road!" Although it was expected that the Chinese side would definitely refuse, the commander of the Marine Corps stationed in Shanghai couldn't help but get angry when he saw the description words such as "jumping a beam and a clown's trick" on the Chinese reply letter. This kind of righteous contempt made the majestic Commander feel that his face was greatly damaged.

"Call Lieutenant Admiral Gu Chuanqing, the captain of the 3rd Fleet, and let his fleet sail into the Huangpu River and occupy the ports in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River! All subordinate fleets will go to Shanghai to prepare for war!"

From this moment, the Japanese troops who had gathered around the Songhu area started to move!
However, Li Chong, who was preparing to go to Shanghai, did not know.Compared with the previous two trips to Shanghai, this time not only there are fewer ships, but the price has tripled.Now the news that Shanghai is going to war has spread throughout Nanjing, and all the teahouses in the alleys are talking about the government sending a large number of troops to the Songhu area.

When the shipping company was buying tickets, when they heard that Li Chong was going to Shanghai, the conductor kindly reminded Li Chong and the two that the situation in Shanghai was dangerous.

What Li Chong and Hang Seng set foot on was a British merchant ship flying the Mi Zi flag, and there were many foreign faces. Two days later, on the 12th, the British ship docked at Huangpu Wharf.

Just the day before that, the chairman of the committee far away in Nanjing ordered General Zhang to lead the elite 87th and 88th divisions and the two heavy artillery regiments, with a total of more than [-] people stationed in Shanghai. These two divisions are all fully equipped German weapon divisions , the ace division of the Central Army, who is very well-trained.If you compare it with a division as a unit, it is comparable to the Japanese army in terms of light weapons, or even better.However, the supporting firepower is still insufficient. The large-caliber heavy artillery of warships floating in the sea can easily turn a building into ruins.

As soon as the merchant ship landed, the well-dressed ladies and gentlemen on the pier crowded and rushed to the ship, and when they stepped on the deck, they straightened their clothes and breathed a sigh of relief, as if they could only be given a gift under the British flag. These Shanghai officials and wealthy businessmen feel safe.

Li Chong and Shunsheng grabbed the bags in their hands and waited for half an hour before getting off the boat.

From the wharf to the bank of the concession, from time to time, rows of soldiers with live ammunition ran past neatly, and occasionally one or two pedestrians walked quickly with their heads bowed on the road.The shops on both sides of the street have been closed and locked, and the locks are still new. The road is also full of armed police and security teams. Some important bayonet positions are piled up with sandbags and stones to form circular fortifications. The once prosperous Nanjing The road looked solemn and quiet, not even a sparrow flew.

After turning two corners, the air suddenly became warm.

The patriots in the business circles on both sides of the road, the rescue groups, and the students in the school waved the national flag, or held up banners in black and white, and enthusiastically held the washing basin and knocked "Ding Dong", and some did not evacuate. In other words, the vendors who have nowhere to go are carrying the egg buns and holding them forward, welcoming the arrival of the anti-Japanese soldiers, and hoping that the soldiers can guard the land and water and protect the safety of the side.

"Big knife! Cut off the heads of the devils!" Gradually, spontaneously cheering singers rang out among the crowd, and the momentum spread around this street as the center, arousing the hearts of every Chinese. brave heart!
