Under One Person: One Person Goes

Chapter 374: Ending (Fourth Update)

August 21, 11 o'clock, the 26th year of the Republic of China.

Huishan Wharf in the Japanese-occupied area of ​​the Songhu Battlefield.

Because of the surprise attack by Wang Yi and his disciples, the 36th Regiment of the 216th Division of the National Army suffered heavy casualties but successfully captured the forward position of Huishan Wharf.

Blocking them from Huishan Wharf was an iron fence gate.

But at this time, Captain Hu of the 216th Regiment had already understood that even if they broke through the iron gate and attacked Huishan Wharf, it would not make much sense.

With just the two tanks in their hands, they couldn't even withstand the Japanese heavy artillery, let alone the Japanese naval guns on the river.

In order to buy time for Wang Yi's plan to decapitate the enemy, all he could do was to feint an attack on the Huishan Wharf position, and then join forces with the brother troops in other blocks that were fighting the Japanese, temporarily turning Broadway Road and Zhoushan Road into the positions of their national army and guiding the Japanese to counterattack again.

Only in this way, with you in me and me in you, can the enemy ships on the river be afraid to fire at will.

In this stalemate, the acting commander of the 87th Division, a brother unit, who was promoted on the front line, also met Commander Hu. Both of them were stunned when they met.

"Are you the leader? Where is your leader?"

"The commander and deputy commander both died for their country. I am now the acting commander. Commander Hu, what's going on? Huishan Wharf is right in front of us. Why don't we attack it?"

"Attack? With our limited forces, will we be bombarded by the Japanese naval guns if we really attack? Now you just stay here with me, hold on, and wait for support!"

"Wait for support! Now we have no choice but to charge forward, make a detour through Huishan Wharf, and go straight to the Japanese Navy Headquarters Building to stab them in the back. Only then will we have a chance of survival!"

This Kuomintang commander who was promoted on the front line also understood that Commander Hu's decision was correct, but now so many soldiers had died in exchange for this hard-won chance of victory. If he retreated, he would be sorry for the soldiers who died along the way. Moreover, he was one of the few in the army who could understand the coordination between infantry and tanks. Together with Commander Hu, there were a total of four tanks, so he could give it a try anyway.

"The Ten-Day Siege Operation failed, do you understand? The Japanese are the ones who are proud of this. I know your name, a top student who studied abroad in Germany, you know it better than me!"

"Then what's the point of wasting time here, neither wanting to retreat nor fighting?"

"Wait for one person, maybe there will be a turning point in this war."

"Those brave men who were fighting the devils in close combat are your men?"

The national army commander reacted and thought of the group of martial arts masters who rushed out from the side and rear when he was fighting the Japanese, using their flesh and blood to tear open gaps for him and create opportunities for battle. He also hurriedly asked.

At this moment, he also noticed a whistling sound of wind overhead, and saw his colleague looking up with his mouth corners grinning, wiping the blood off his face, and pointing in the distance.

"It's his man."

The national army commander looked up and saw a young man about his age and a senior Japanese naval officer slowly descending above his head.

His expression was exactly the same as Captain Hu and the others just now, but even better.

Because he came from a prominent family and was a native of Shanghai, he had come into contact with these strange people walking around in the world since he was a child. He also went to temples and Taoist temples with his father. He also knew that some of these people in the world were like the gods and immortals described by storytellers in vernacular novels.

But those immortal figures are often old men over sixty years old. No matter how strange their methods are, no one has ever seen anyone who can really fly in the air.

I have never seen anyone as young as the one in front of me.

Moreover, his experience of studying in Germany also made him understand that no matter how extraordinary the methods of these divine figures are, in the face of the rapidly developing thermal weapons of the time, they can only be used as a surprise force on the battlefield. If used well, they can determine the outcome of a war. If not used well, they will suffer unnecessary losses like the National Army, which did not understand the coordination between infantry and tanks.

Wang Yi slowly landed and took a quick look, feeling emotional in his heart. In just a short while, one third of the more than one hundred Quan Xing disciples he brought with him, who were considered masters even in Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils, were gone?

While expressing his emotion, he also threw the captured old Japanese soldier Hasegawa Kiyoshi to the captain Hu in front of him.

"Captain Hu, I have accomplished my mission and caught a big fish for you."

"This old guy is..."

"Hasegawa Kiyoshi? Commander of the Japanese Navy's Third Fleet? It's really this old guy!!!"

Wang was also surprised to see that the other party could recognize the identity of the old devil Hasegawa Kiyoshi at a glance. With such good eyesight and at such a young age, he could be the head of a regiment and throw himself into the meat grinder of the Songhu battlefield. His family must be either rich or noble.

The expression he looked at Wang Yi was even more excited.

"Righteous man! No! Hero! Please accept my greeting! I thank you on behalf of the soldiers who died on the battlefield!!"

"I don't deserve it. Don't bow to me. There's no point bowing to an emperor anymore. Captain Hu, with this old devil here, I think our soldiers can take a good breath. This guy is a good bargaining chip."

"That's right, Captain Zhou. You're lucky. This time, both we and Hero Wang have made contributions."

"This achievement is useless to me. Let Captain Hu share it with Captain Zhou and these soldiers. But for now, we should retreat first. I messed up the Japanese Navy Headquarters building. There are capable people over there. It's time for them to react. As for retreat, Captain Hu, let's leave the tanks and soldiers to Captain Zhou."

"Okay, I'll listen to Master Wang. You come."

"Yes!"

Captain Zhou, who took over the command, also began to command the coordination between tanks and infantry in an orderly manner. It is difficult for the entire National Army to master the coordination between tanks and infantry, but it is still possible for a small part of the army, provided that those soldiers unconditionally trust their superiors and their combat qualities are relatively good.

The leader of the group also needs to know how to coordinate infantry and tanks. This Captain Zhou has both of these qualities, so although they are clearly retreating, under the command of this Captain Zhou, it has become a victory advance, literally.

As the National Army troops at the Huishan Wharf position in the Japanese-occupied area retreated, the Japanese army, which did not want to pursue them, also reoccupied the Huishan Wharf position.

Just like that, at one o'clock on the evening of August 21st, at the beginning of the Battle of Shanghai, after the Nationalist army paid a heavy price in casualties, the planned "Ten-Day Siege" operation ended in failure.

But a piece of news also spread quickly among the Chinese and Japanese troops.

The commander of the Japanese Navy's Third Fleet, who led the Battle of Shanghai, was captured by two Nationalist Army units and was being secretly sent to the Nationalist Army headquarters.

At the beginning, the grassroots of both China and Japan were skeptical, but as the Japanese army gradually shrank its positions and the enemy ships moved away from the river, this statement was indirectly confirmed.

For the top leaders of both China and Japan who are aware of the reasons behind this, one is happy while the other is worried.

The Japanese warships anchored on the river began to leave the shore, and the navy on the fleet was also mobilized. All personnel were on alert, standing guard in the watchtowers in shifts 24 hours a day, and the guns were no longer pointed at the opposite bank.

The Kuomintang headquarters, who were stationed at the front line and commanding the battle, were laughing so hard that they couldn't sleep.

Especially when they actually saw the living Kiyoshi Hasegawa standing in front of them, they became more certain that they were not dreaming. They first sent someone to pass a message to the Japanese army, holding something that could represent Kiyoshi Hasegawa's identity, and asked them to withdraw their troops overnight.

He also sent a telegram to the National Government in Nanjing overnight to commend these two capable generals.

At the same time, he also asked the National Government to quickly send negotiation representatives from Nanjing to discuss negotiation matters with the Japanese army.

There was joy and celebration in the house.

Wang Yi, who was escorting him all the way from outside the house, had eyes that were not eyes and a nose that was not a nose.

Based on my understanding of this bald humanoid creature, this guy will definitely take the credit for himself.

He was very unhappy that he had given the bald man another deed that he could brag about in his diary for no reason.

And the bald guy sent a representative to negotiate? If the bald guy could really negotiate some benefits, he would have accepted this unhappiness.

But what is a bald guy? On the eve of the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, Henan, Hunan and Guangxi suffered a great defeat, and he was beaten from being a cake under the table to being a cake on the table.

He expected the representatives he sent to negotiate and gain benefits. If he did not follow the example of Emperor Gaozong of Song who issued himself twelve golden medals and put himself in Fengbo Pavilion, Wang Yi would have to burn incense to express his gratitude.

Of course, Wang Yi is not the only one who is not optimistic about what can be achieved from this negotiation.

Captain Zhou, who had just been promoted to the permanent position of acting captain, also left the headquarters first. He handed a cigarette to Wang Yi, who was looking at the scenery outside but was worried, and lit it for Wang.

"Boss Wang doesn't look very happy either."

"If I had captured the Japanese emperor, I would have been happy. After all, the symbolic significance of the Japanese emperor is there. It is not impossible to ask the Japanese to withdraw their troops, let alone withdraw from Songhu. But I only captured an old Japanese. No matter how important he is, he is not irreplaceable. Moreover, the war has come to this point. The Japanese will not give up because of a temporary defeat.

This negotiation can only buy us some more time, strengthen our fortifications, occupy some advantageous terrain, and exchange for some military supplies, money and food. If it's more, the Japanese won't agree. Don't you think this makes sense, Captain Zhou?"

"I didn't expect that Boss Wang also has some insights into military affairs. When I was studying at a German military academy, a Japanese classmate who was very close to me also told me that there would be a war between China and Japan, and no one could stop it."

"Wow, your Japanese classmate is quite knowledgeable. Have you asked him who will win in this battle between China and Japan?"

"I asked him, and he told me that he very much hoped that Japan would be defeated. I could tell that he was speaking from his heart."

"He is a good man and indeed a good friend of yours."

"Yeah, it's a pity that neither he nor I can make the decision in this world. We both received notices to return home and became soldiers. In this war, he and I will meet on the battlefield sooner or later."

"Then will you be able to do it then?"

"Of course, I have severed ties with him."

"Captain Zhou is indeed a well-deserved national soldier. It's late at night, and you should go to rest. I have to take my men to collect the bodies of the dead. If you need me, you know where to find me."

"Of course, it's the Stone Company in the International Settlement. Everyone says that Boss Wang is an expert. I didn't believe it before. I thought that Boss Wang, who is only a few years older than me, could not be an expert."

"now what?"

“It’s well-deserved.”

"Haha, I think the name doesn't match the reality. After all, I can't save this country, and neither can the government. By the way, Captain Zhou, I don't even know your full name."

"My name is Zhou Weiguo, Boss Wang. Whether our country can be saved depends on actions, not words. You and I are saving the country and the people now. I will host a banquet in Jinling some other day and invite you to drink."

"it is good."

Wang Yi said goodbye to Zhou Weiguo and disappeared into the night, leaving quietly.

　Because it is not good to have too many real names, I can only use these mixed film and television characters as a substitute, I hope you understand. By the way, I will update it like this, please give me more subscriptions, monthly tickets and collections at the beginning of the month~
