The Republic of Heroes

"Although the fatality rate of mustard gas itself is not high, its advantage is that it can cause skin peeling and infection, and damage eyes and trachea. If the treatment is not timely, there is a danger of death. But there is one thing that is more vicious than killing the enemy on the spot .”

Seeing Yang Xiaoou's puzzled expression, Wu Xiaoliang continued: "Injuring one person requires more people to take care of it, which consumes more manpower and material resources. But mustard gas permeates the battlefield, poisoning hundreds of thousands of people As usual, it is not a simple addition and subtraction to send many patients who have lost combat effectiveness to the rear."

Yang Xiaoou had been disapproving of Wu Xiaoliang's look as if he was facing an enemy when he heard that the Japanese army was preparing to use mustard gas on the Songhu battlefield, but he never thought that the lethality and effect of this mustard gas would be so great.This made him worry.

"If the Japanese army fails once, there will inevitably be a second time. How should our army prepare for it?"

Wu Xiaoliang still looked worried, shook his head and said: "The front line of Beijing and Shanghai is intertwined with the enemy and us, and it is really impossible to defend against. The two divisions of the Japanese army are trapped here and cannot chew or eat. It has become our number one problem."

Although the No.14 Division and the Fifth Division of the Japanese Army are currently trapped in a narrow strip, who can say that it is not an expedient measure for the Japanese Army to preserve its strength and not want a decisive battle. How many people can be left in the Army and the 57th Division.Thinking of this, he couldn't help but heaved a heavy sigh. Only at this moment did he truly understand what internal and external difficulties are.When the Japanese army invaded Shanghai, the great powers stood by and did nothing, but the domestic warlords, including the Nationalist Government, were not following their own little calculations?I always want other families to fight and kill more people, and then I can profit from it.

Regardless of the distance, which one of He Yingqin who is in charge of Nanjing and Liu Zhi who is on the Jiangyin defense line is not a hindrance?Hu Zongnan was tough, but in the end he still failed. If Liu Zhi could send a division of reinforcements, or if he hadn't made things difficult for him, He Jiabang might not have suffered a disastrous defeat.

However, Hu Zongnan was sniped, and Zhang Lingfu was the most wronged. Wu Xiaoliang remembered the wisdom of the lame general in his previous life, so he gave him a hand. Going to Chongming Island, the main battlefield in Beijing and Shanghai, can be regarded as avoiding the limelight there. When the war in Beijing and Shanghai is over, he is confident that he still has the ability to keep such a major to be punished.

Who knows whether he was lucky or unlucky, the remnants of the Japanese army who attacked Qiyakou last night actually retreated to Chongming Island, and according to him, a major general was among the hundreds of people he captured.According to information from Shanghai, the Japanese army responsible for landing at Qiyakou this time was the No. 20th Brigade, and among the 24th Brigade, the commander of the brigade with the rank of major general was none other than Yamada. The capture of the Japanese major general was the Battle of Beijing and Shanghai. Greatest achievement ever.It was too late to keep a low profile, but this time he was going to show off again.But don't think about making meritorious deeds, that's only found in dramas, and punishing crimes is also a matter of a sentence from the Military Law Department.

Of course, that Major General Yamada is just a small shrimp compared to the previously captured General Shirakawa Yoshinori, but Shirakawa Yoshinori should not make it public at this time, and will continue to be held in secret. As for whether it will be made public and when it will be made public. The next developments.

"Brother Yiru, our Major Zhang can be regarded as a deputy general. The hundreds of Japanese soldiers can be temporarily detained on Chongming Island, but the major general will be escorted back. We have to make a good use of him this time."

"This Zhang Lingfu is indeed a talented person, except that his eyes are higher than the top. It's just that he graduated from Whampoa, and after all, he is still from Lao Jiang's side. Let's save him and don't become Dong Guo."

Yang Xiaoou didn't understand why Wu Xiaoliang favored a stunned young man with a bad temper and a direct lineage of old Jiang so much, and before he joined the Shandong Army, he was very fond of these so-called revolutionaries who sprang up in the south when he was in the Jin Army. I have opinions, so I call Jiang Zhong "Old Chiang" in private.

Wu Xiaoliang smiled indifferently, he knew that this Army Commander Yang would become emotional when he said Jiang Zhongzheng, and helping Zhang Zhonglin did not mean that he would definitely take him under his command, because he had no reason to sit idly by just because of his passion for serving the country, and even more What's more, wouldn't it be a great thing if someone could use it for himself?Taking a ten thousand step back, even if Zhang Zhonglin still has his heart for Jiang, just let him go, and his painstaking efforts will not be in vain if he has an extra hero on the anti-Japanese battlefield in the future.

"Brother Yiru's words are wrong. It doesn't matter who Zhang Lingfu's heart belongs to. This kind of passionate man who has committed himself to the army must be supported no matter what. Didn't Li Jingcong from the Shandong Independent Brigade also graduated from Huangpu? No, he didn't talk to the committee members. Do you run all the way to the dark?"

I have heard of Li Youting, the commander of the Shandong Independent Brigade, and his man Yang Xiaoou. It is said that this person was originally Jiang An's nail in Chen Tiaoyuan's side, but he gave it to Weizhong. Entrusted with important tasks.It is unknown whether the rumors are true or not, but Wu Xiaoliang's making an exception in employing people made him sincerely admire. If it were Mr. Yan who was changed, I would not be talking about outsiders. Six points!

Yang Xiaoou didn't want to get entangled in this issue, but knocked heavily on the map on the table, and sighed: "Who does Zhang Lingfu's heart belong to? After all, it doesn't matter what the overall situation is, but right now it looks like you have the upper hand, but why do I always think about it?" Do you feel the cool wind blowing on your back?" He stretched out his hand and circled the two clearly marked places on the map.

"We can't afford the Japanese invaders No.14 and the Fifth Division, but we can't always be in such a stalemate. Once there is an emergency, it is not impossible to repeat the war. Weizhong, we have to come up with a countermeasure as soon as possible. "

……

Wu Xiaoliang and Yang Xiaoou had headaches, and there was someone in Shanghai who had more headaches than the two of them at this time, and that was Ningji Okamura, the new commander of the Japanese Army in Songhu.Neiji Okamura has low qualifications, and he commanded all the Japanese troops stationed in Shanghai with the rank of major general. Although many people obeyed the orders of the military department on the surface, they did not talk much about the right and wrong of the new commander in private.

After Neiji Okamura went to Shanghai to replace Kenkichi Ueda, he completely drove the main force of the Chinese defenders out of Shanghai in just one battle, completing the military goals that several previous commanders had failed to accomplish.So far, the high-level Japanese troops stationed in Shanghai have been impressed, and it can be said that they became famous in the first battle.

But after this battle, they did not continue to make persistent efforts and make great strides all the way.At dawn, news came that the main force of the 24th Brigade that had landed at Qiyakou was wiped out, and the brigade commander, Major General Yamada, was nowhere to be found.What made his heart hurt even more was that half of the mustard gas bombs on the ship were buried at the bottom of the river.
