The Republic of Heroes

The battle inside the Songhu Fortress has become fierce. Yu Sanhe and his subordinates have given up hope of victory in the face of more and more Japanese troops. Step forward inside the fortress.

Suddenly, a violent explosion sounded from Zijiang, followed by explosions one after another. The Japanese soldiers in the bloody battle were all stunned, including the soldiers who were preparing to go ashore on the landing ship. The sound of the explosion was startling.

In the gradually fading river fog, they faintly saw flames and thick smoke rising into the sky. What happened behind them?A lot of doubts arose in the hearts of the Japanese soldiers. What the hell are the Chinese people doing?What happened to the flames and the sound of explosions on the river?

Once there is doubt in the heart, the courage to fight will stagnate, and the balance of victory that had been tilted towards the Japanese has been moved back bit by bit.The news of the bombing of the Nagato ship was quickly uploaded from the river, which undoubtedly set off a heavy bomb among the Japanese troops who were about to enter the battle.Immediately something that shocked them even more happened. As the fog in the river gradually faded, they could already clearly see the smoke column rising high in the distance. Dorje is less.

A series of dull explosions reminded them that this was a martyrdom explosion, and the imperial battleship was probably finished.People with more sensitive political sense also realized that the Imperial Army Minister was on board the Nagato, could he escape smoothly?There is no doubt that once this battleship sank on the battlefield of China, the result was not just as simple as sinking a battleship.

The Japanese soldiers on the landing ship could hardly believe their eyes. Not only the battleship Nagato, but also the flagship of the Third Fleet Izumo also exploded.Followed by Myoko, Fushimi...

The cruisers parked in the heart of the Yangtze River seemed to be named, and one after another exploded. All the Japanese troops who were about to land witnessed this unbelievable scene with their own eyes. What happened on the river?Why did the imperial warships explode one after another?

The explosion was still going on, but the morale of the soldiers who landed had long been scattered. The back road was cut off, and there was an unknown desperate resistance ahead. The Japanese attack fell to the bottom in an instant.Some ships were already preparing to withdraw from this awkward battle, and the Japanese soldiers who were fighting hand-to-hand apparently also noticed this sudden incident.

Not only the Japanese army, but even Yu Sanhe discovered the abnormality of the Japanese landing force and the naval fleet on the river. His heart, which was already ashamed, surged with joy and excitement, and he raised his arms and shouted:

"Brothers! The Japanese army is doomed, drive the devils down the river to feed the bastards!"

This is the slogan he has chanted most often since he came to Wusong Fortress, but every time he can echo it, he can get a response, and this time is no exception.The exhausted Chinese soldiers, with incomprehensible perseverance, once again completed a series of combat actions in the melee. Although the Japanese army was still several times their number, they still rushed repeatedly without hesitation...

The Japanese army finally began to show signs of collapse.

Yes, the warship of the Minister of War was bombed, and the warships of the Third Fleet on the river exploded one after another. Such a shocking scene was right in front of us. Who could pretend that nothing happened? The most humiliating scene of the Japanese Army since the Meiji Revolution took place.

With a force several times larger than that of the Chinese, not only did they fail to attack the position that had been blown into ruins, but they retreated disgracefully. The soldiers retreated for the next time under the order of the commander, and rushed to the river.

Just when the reversal happened very suddenly, there was a loud cry of killing in the fortress, and Yu Sanhe's eyes were hazy, it was reinforcements.He had never felt that the soldiers' shouts of killing were so beautiful.

In the battle, the Japanese army stormed the Wusong Fortress with 2 troops. The Chinese defenders only used less than 4000 troops. Not only did they hold on to this strategically important place that determined the outcome of the battle, but the Japanese army paid a very heavy price. Counting over time, the Japanese army left at least [-] corpses on the banks of the Yangtze River, and countless others were seriously injured or lightly injured. The Ninth Division in charge of the storm almost changed the entire division's soldiers. .

This is a later story. Yu Sanhe persisted until the last Japanese landing ship evacuated from the river beach before he collapsed powerlessly. He was too tired and just wanted to take a good rest. He slept until the end of the world and did not want to wake up.

He didn't know that the troops who gave the final blow to the landing Japanese army at the last moment of the battle were not members of Zhang Zhizhong's Fifth Army, nor the troops of Li Zejun of the 57th Division, but a part of the former fortress defenders who had been disarmed before.

……

"Commander, encrypted telegram!"

The adjutant put a telegram in front of Wu Xiaoliang.

The temporary headquarters of the Beijing-Shanghai Garrison Headquarters in Changshu was filled with depression. The arrival of Hu Zongnan's first brigade did not bring about a turning point for the collapse of the front line. The second army had completely lost its will to fight. Under the strong attack of the three divisions of the Japanese army, there was almost no power to fight back.

Several senior officers of the garrison headquarters once again proposed the retreat, but Wu Xiaoliang refused without hesitation. He quickly readjusted the deployment of troops in Changshu. .The reserve team that was originally the third division reorganized the Changshu defense line with the remnants of the first and second divisions that had collapsed, hoping to effectively contain the fierce Japanese offensive.

He picked up the telegram and glanced at it. Just as he was about to put it down, he read it carefully from beginning to end like an electric shock. The hand holding the telegram began to tremble.

What a Zhang Ergou, if this killer weapon is not used, it will cause a sensation all over the world.

Sinking the battleship Nagato and completely annihilating the main cruiser of the Third Fleet, this achievement alone can cause an uproar among navies all over the world, not to mention that they also captured the suspected Japanese Cabinet Minister of War Yoshinori Shirakawa.

If these two blockbuster bombs are true, once they are released, the current cabinet of the Japanese government will collapse. Not only will the siege of Shanghai be resolved, but even the ambition of these East Asian lunatics to invade China in an all-round way will be extinguished by a pot of cold water. .

In this way, even if the Japanese soldiers in front of them entered the city of Nanjing, the results of China and Japan would be one to one, or even better.

But Wu Xiaoliang didn't dare to overestimate the national government's war intentions. After all, their main energy is not yet on the outside world. Once they have a little leverage, the voice of negotiating a truce may become louder and become the mainstream within the Kuomintang.
