The Republic of Heroes

After the Captain Watanabe woke up, he organized an effective counterattack with the assistance of his staff, and immediately rushed to the room of Kenkichi Ueda at the headquarters to ask the lieutenant general for his opinion on the immediate crisis.Although the first wave of attacks by the Chinese were repulsed, the situation would not be optimistic if this continued.

His judgment was good. After encountering resistance, Li Zejun immediately realized that the Japanese army was much more powerful than the Japanese army in Suidong back then.So he resolutely gave up the strategy of attacking sequentially, but concentrated all his firepower on one point like a bet, readying his strength to break through the loose defense line that the Japanese army had just organized in one fell swoop.

Many officers and soldiers of the Japanese army died in their sleep, which was a heavy blow to the surviving soldiers, so the morale of the Japanese army was low, and finally collapsed under the powerful attack of Li Zejun's commando.

Yu Sanhe, the platoon leader from Shandong, is the platoon leader with the strongest fighting spirit in the commando. He led a few brothers under him to rush into the Kuanyuan where Kenji Ueda was the first.The resisting Japanese soldiers were blocked by MP submachine guns before they even had time to fire a bullet. Yu Sanhe also rushed to the forefront with a submachine gun. After killing the Japanese soldiers, his speed did not slow down at all. I saw three people in the room, two officers in military uniforms sitting on chairs, their faces were calm, but another old man in black tuxedo had a panic expression, as if he was about to run away, but he was at a loss.

Yu Sanhe yelled: "Don't move, hand over your weapons, you are captured!"

Before he finished speaking, the Chinese soldiers behind him rushed up like wolves and tigers, pressed the two officers who tried to draw their guns to resist, and tied them tightly to the ground.One of the soldiers took a closer look at the ranks of the two officers and said happily, "Platoon leader, we seem to have caught a big fish."

At this time, Yu Sanhe also noticed that these two officers were different. Leaving aside the posture, even the material of their uniforms was not comparable to that of ordinary Japanese officers.Looking at the epaulets again, he couldn't help but gasp, Shi Cai was so focused on fighting that he didn't pay attention to the opponent's rank, he was shocked when he saw it.There are two people in front of me, one is Lieutenant General and the other is Colonel.My dear, how big is the lieutenant general, and we Chairman Wu, a member of the Military Central Committee, is also a general, and the lieutenant general is one level lower than him.After all, his understanding of military rank and position is very superficial. Even if the military rank is one level behind, the lieutenant general in front of him may not have as much influence in Japan as Wu Xiaoliang has in China.

The lieutenant general was pinned down on the ground in a state of embarrassment. He tried several times to break free from the Chinese soldiers who were pinning him down, but he was alone and pinned down even tighter.Some tyrannical soldiers thought he was dishonest, so they kicked him twice in the face viciously, and his face was immediately covered with blood.

The lieutenant general yelled loudly in Japanese, wow wow wow, helpless because none of Sanhe and the others could understand Japanese, and they thought his yelling was annoying, so they stepped forward to lift him up and slapped him twice, cursing:

"Stop yelling, tell our chairman if you have something to say."

After breaking into a courtyard of the headquarters, Li Zejun found that the Japanese troops in other directions seemed to be crazy, and charged them regardless of their lives and no matter what the cost.The originally sluggish will to fight suddenly rose.When he saw Yu Sanhe escorting a lieutenant general and a senior officer over, he immediately understood the reason.

Li Zejun asked sharply in Japanese: "Are you the commander of the Japanese army Kenkichi Ueda?"

The lieutenant general had his hands tied behind his back, his face was covered with blood, and he spit out two words: "It's me!"

Although he became a prisoner of the Chinese, the pride of the Imperial Army still drove him to tell the truth, and even if he wanted to deny it, the bright uniform of the lieutenant general betrayed him.At present, there is only one lieutenant general in Shanghai, and that is him, the commander of the Ninth Division and the commander of the Japanese Army in Songhu.

Immediately, Li Zejun asked Suidong's intelligence personnel stationed in Shanghai who came with him to identify him. After confirming that this person was indeed Kenkichi Ueda himself, he immediately ordered to retreat the same way.Like the ebbing tide, the commando rolled back towards the Baidu Bridge.

Wu Xiaoliang, who was in the Zhenru headquarters, was nervously watching the battlefield along the Songhu Railway in front of him. After the signal flare in the concession rose, he ordered the main force of the Second Army to attack from the front.Unexpectedly, after several charges, he failed to make any progress. He began to worry that Li Ze's army, who was alone in the leased land, would fail.

But if it succeeds, the result will be very different. It is up to him to decide whether to talk or to take the initiative.

Yang Xiaoou beside him was also extremely nervous. This was his first battle after changing his costume, so he naturally attached great importance to it. Seeing that several regiments of the army were beaten and maimed in just one hour, he felt blood dripping from his heart.But the opponent was not a domestic warlord, but the Japanese. He never thought that his army could face the Japanese in an upright manner.

Suddenly, a messenger hurried into the conference room.

"The Japanese defense line at the Hongjiangkou crossing was torn apart by our army..."

There was a burst of cheers in the headquarters. After an hour, the battle situation finally turned around, tilting towards the balance of victory.Immediately, another person came in, and he opened his mouth with extremely explosive news.

"Japanese Commander Kenkichi Ueda was captured."

With gunpowder all over his face and piercing eyes, it was Li Zejun.

Wu Xiaoliang was excited when he saw that Li Zejun returned safely, "It's good that Qianting is back, but was he injured?" Then he realized, "What? The Japanese commander Kenkichi Ueda was arrested by us?"

On August 57th, Shanghai's "Shenzhen" published a piece of news that shocked the world. The [-]th Division of Wu Xiaoliang's Department of the Chinese Communist Party raided the Japanese Army Command last night and captured the commander of the Ninth Division of the Japanese Army and the Japanese Army in Songhu. Lieutenant General Ueda Kenkichi, the commander, and Koichi Watanabe, captain of the Sixth Regiment.Moreover, the Second Army of the Chinese Army launched a frontal attack along the Songhu Railway defense line, compressing and surrounding the Japanese army around Hongkou Port, and victory is just around the corner.

The news quickly reached the ears of Jiang Zhongzheng in Luoyang. When he heard the news, he first doubted its authenticity. After several confirmations, he finally confirmed that it was absolutely true and reliable news.

"This Wu Weizhong can always surprise people." Jiang Zhongzheng sighed.

This battle greatly increased the influence of the Nanjing National Government in the whole country, and it was the first of its kind for the central government to win externally since the Republic of China.Immediately, a hint of unhappiness appeared in his heart. It seemed that this was still an untamed wild horse.There was an order not to fight without a telegram, and he, Wu Weizhong, went to war without asking for instructions. Even though this operation has achieved impressive results, he didn't even say hello, so he still takes himself seriously as the chairman of the committee? ?
