The Republic of Heroes

Murakami sat against the wall, shouting Watanabe's name hysterically, tears and snot streaming down his face in an instant.Bullets whizzed past on the street, and the hand holding the [-]-type rifle was pale because of too much force.As if startled suddenly, he bounced off the ground and howled and rushed to the street, raising his gun and shooting randomly, not caring that the bullets passed by him like raindrops.He was completely out of control, and finally groups of Chinese people were reflected in his red eyes.

Murakami regained consciousness at the last moment, and when the thought of running away popped into his mind, he swung his legs several times and ran towards the alley.He was really scared, and ran forward desperately, with only one thought in his mind, he couldn't die in Zhina, he must go back alive, back to the village where he cried secretly more than once at night.

Zhang Zhonglin's third battalion, as the vanguard of the fortress troops entering the urban area of ​​Shanghai, advanced along Huangxing Road from north to south. The Japanese army almost devoted all their troops to the battlefield on the western front, so these hinterlands were extremely empty. Except for the Japanese guarding here The recruits are the recruited Chinese policemen.

The Chinese police already hated the Japanese, and were barely able to patrol the streets under the arrogance, but now the Japanese army in Shanghai is getting more and more difficult, so they raised their guns and surrendered as soon as the police arrived, and some even threw their guns away and hid at home go.

The Japanese recruits are all raw melon eggs who have never seen blood. Although groups of three or five gather together to patrol, but the third battalion like Zhang Zhonglin descending the mountain like a tiger is not enough to see. It is like cutting melons and vegetables They were also beaten up, and some people were shot to death without even raising their guns.

The two Japanese recruits I met just now were like this. The recruit who was knocked down by his companions stood up in the street in a daze. Isn't this the rhythm of courting death?The other one had the guts, dared to shoot at hundreds of people in the street, but then ran away in a panic. Obviously, it wasn't because he was brave, but because he was frightened and fainted, and made some crazy things that he couldn't even control. It's a pity that he finally woke up and escaped successfully.

Originally, some soldiers wanted to chase up and kill the Japanese recruit, but they were stopped by Zhang Zhonglin. How big a storm can a Japanese deserter make, he just ran away. The Navy Command, which is the temporary headquarters of the Songhu Garrison, is his final destination. Target.He didn't want to be caught up first by Yu Sanhe, the old hat. When he first came out of Wusong Fortress, the soldiers of the two were originally together, but the streets of Shanghai couldn't accommodate so many people advancing at the same time, so Yu Sanhe proposed to divide the troops Push forward.Even he had to admit that Yu Sanhe was resourceful and decisive.

It's just a little bit of luck when I think of the unsmiling old hat actually playing tricks on me.It turned out that Yu Sanhe said that letting him stay in the fortress was just a joke for a while, and he even had a hint of aggressive tactics, but that kind of possibility greatly frustrated his self-esteem. Has he ever tasted this feeling of being despised by his colleagues before?He has always let others eat.

"Battalion Commander, there is a five-fork road ahead, how should we go?"

Although Zhang Zhonglin marched all the way into the urban area of ​​Shanghai, he was not dazzled by this false victory.

"The Japanese army will definitely set up barrier defenses at such an important intersection. Let's take a look from the side. If there are few people, we will deal with them!"

The [-]rd Battalion turned in along an unnamed narrow road, and turned around to Siping Road, but was surprised to find that such an important intersection was not guarded by anyone. How could the Japanese army make such a serious mistake?

In fact, the Japanese army not only sent people to defend, but also had a large number of people.However, due to the shortage of troops, the headquarters assembled more than 100 heavily armed Chinese policemen in the leased land to guard the intersection.As a result, the Japanese army team responsible for the main defense had just evacuated, and the Chinese police dispersed within a few minutes.Therefore, Zhang Zhonglin and the others are able to thank these Chinese policemen who fled the battle as if they were in no man's land.

At the same time, Yu Sanhe on Quyang Road was not as lucky as Zhang Zhonglin. He and his men had just turned onto the main road and soon encountered Japanese troops guarding the place. During the road section, it was difficult to advance half a step. Seeing that the opponent had a large number of troops and guarded Hongkou Park tightly, he jumped in a hurry.Could it be that the sneak attack plan was allowed to fail?

But the number of the Ninth Regiment was too small to fight at all, so they had to retreat temporarily, retreated and turned into a narrow road to advance eastward.He hoped to find another way around Hongkou Park.Yu Sanhe's disadvantage was that he was not familiar with the map of Shanghai and did not have an accurate street map, so he was blinded temporarily.

The Japanese army did not catch up, which made Yu Sanhe reluctantly breathe a sigh of relief. He also understood why the Japanese army allowed the Ninth Regiment to slip away. In the eyes of the Japanese, his more than 200 people were not enough to put teeth between them, so what else could they cause? Storm coming?Furthermore, it can be seen that the Japanese devils' reserve forces are almost exhausted, and the defensive forces behind the urban area of ​​Shanghai are still insufficient, let alone actively attacking.In case of being tricked, the loss is definitely not worth the loss.

Yu Sanhe took advantage of this weakness of the Japanese army and moved between the defensive barriers at various intersections, but in the end he was getting farther and farther away from the Japanese Navy Command.This made him more and more impatient, so he turned forcibly to the west again.When confronted with an obstacle at a crossroad, this time Yu Sanhe did not choose to avoid it, but went forward head-on, ready to pull out the nail.

But this time it seemed that they had kicked on the iron plate. Just as they were hitting the front of the barrier, another wave of Japanese soldiers came out of nowhere and fired fiercely on their flanks, causing the Ninth Regiment to drop nearly [-] soldiers here. The corpses were safely evacuated. It seems that these Japanese soldiers still maintained considerable restraint and did not kill them all, but drove away the incidents.

However, when Sanhe was running eastward again, another group of people rushed towards him. The soldiers of the Ninth Regiment raised their guns and wanted to shoot, but thanks to Yu Sanhe's sharp eyes, they found that the other party was also shot* The * team was able to avoid a tragedy of the same root.

When the other party came close, Yu Sanhe was stunned and blurted out, "Why are you?"

The opponent was Zhang Zhonglin and his third battalion.

"Why did you come here? You can't get through the front, there are too many Japanese devils, let's find a way."

Yu Sanhe briefly talked about the situation in the east, but Zhang Zhonglin said in a hasty tone: "There are more people behind us, and they have already caught up. Don't dawdle, run east quickly. We really have no way to go!"

To make this arrogant Major Zhang open his mouth to run for his life, how terrifying is the strength of the opponent's troops?
