The heavens start from Changjin Lake

Chapter 585 The war broke out, and we are about to go to the front line!
The Japanese aggressors came to attack Jinling with 27 planes, and shot back and forth at low altitude over Guanghuamen Airport, Zhonghua Road, Yuhua Road, Kangkang Road, Sanshan Street, Xinjiekou, Drum Tower and other downtown areas, just like a hen laying eggs Dropped bomb after bomb.

The people who hid in the air-raid shelter were crowded and squatting on the ground, their hearts were beating wildly, and the sound of humming planes, machine guns, and anti-aircraft guns could be heard from outside.The huge sound waves produced by the explosion of the bomb shook people's ears and made their eardrums ache.After the air raid, houses in the urban area burned and turned into a sea of ​​​​flames.Shops and houses were burnt to ruins, with broken walls and ruined walls standing in the sun. In the ruins and on the streets, countless innocent people were killed and burned, and their bodies lay in disorder on the ground. Blood stained the soil on the ground.

There were cries, wailing, and the scolding of cars gnashing their teeth.

During the Battle of Songhu, Japanese planes frequently visited the sky above Jinling City, and even played tricks of deception.

On September 66th, [-] Japanese aircraft were divided into two batches, and another large-scale air raid took place on Jinling City. The radio and television stations, the Capital Police Command and some residential areas were bombarded indiscriminately by Japanese aircraft. .

On this day, in order to further deter the Chinese capital, Kiyoshi Hasegawa, commander of the Japanese Third Fleet stationed in Shanghai, issued a 'notice' full of blackmailing language.

The 'Notice' stated: "Jinling is the main base of China's military activities. In order to eliminate the hostile actions of the Chinese army and end the current hostile situation as soon as possible, after noon on September 21, [-], the The Chinese army in and around Jinling City, and all buildings belonging to the military work and activities of the Chinese army, use bombing or other means."

On the 21th, there was one day before the day when the Japanese planes bombed. The citizens of Jinling City thought that the emptiness would be on the [-]st, so they firmly remembered this day. Unexpectedly, on the [-]th, the Japanese army began to implement their plan. bombing plan.Eighty Japanese planes flew over Jinling in wave after wave from [-]:[-] am to [-]:[-] pm. They continued to block out the sky like a flock of black crows and bombarded Jinling City violently.

The advance of the bombing was naturally a conspiracy and deception by the Japanese devils.

During the battle of Songhu, the Japanese army continuously dispatched planes to bomb the capital Jinling City, so that Shanghai fell later, and the capital of the national army changed from Jinling to Yuzhou (chong, qing).

The outbreak of the war in Shanghai was extremely shocking to the inside of the 80.00th Division, and the atmosphere of the [-]th Division obviously changed.On the morning of the [-]th, Xia Yuan, as the deputy squad leader of the second row and third squad, formed a team with Xu Liu. [-]% of the entire Ninth Company were recruits. They gathered on the playground and received the company commander's lecture.

"Training is to enable you to survive better on the battlefield. Don't think that training is to torture you. On the contrary, the more you train hard, the more likely you are to survive on the battlefield."

".It's going to change."

The content of the lecture was quite simple, but the soldiers all felt a sense of storms coming.

The time for training is even tighter.

But old man Wang, who was over half a century old, was exhausted enough, and everyone in the class was almost unable to hold on anymore. How could it be possible to not give them enough food and still want to train hard.

That night, when old man Wang was chatting with Xia Yuan, they heard the news that someone had escaped again. There is no doubt that these escaped people were all arrested. Old man Wang wanted to let the monkey go and see, but was stopped by Xu Liu caught.

"Don't go out, stay quietly." As a veteran, Xu Liu knew that going out at this time would cause trouble.

Old man Wang stopped the monkey's behavior and laughed: "The squad leader said yes, but I don't understand one thing. Are we going to fight?"

He turned his head and looked at Xia Yuan again.

Xia Yuan exhaled, and said vaguely: "Listen to what the company commander said, if there is a real war, no one can escape."

Xu Liu glanced at Xia Yuan and nodded: "Your deputy squad leader is right. If there is a war, no one can run away, so don't worry so much, and train with peace of mind. When you want us, we have to go, don't want us When the time comes, we just need to train with peace of mind."

The rest of the class felt somewhat uneasy. The monkey who used to be active was no longer active, sitting on the quilt in a daze. The scholar was silent at first, but now he was even more silent.

May go to war?They stayed in the camp more for a bite to eat, otherwise who would endure such hard training and not have enough to eat all day, so after the company commander delivered the news to them today, the entire recruit camp People were panicked. Many people wanted to escape from the camp that night, but after these people were arrested, no one thought about it again.

Sure enough, on the second day, there were many beaten soldiers hanging from the trees around the playground. The bloody wounds on their bodies were particularly eye-catching. They kept reminding the recruits who were running that they must not try to escape, or they would hang from the trees tomorrow. It's not them, it's you.

"Look, isn't that Han's second son? He also ran away last night."

Old man Wang saw an old acquaintance among the hanging people. He was from the third platoon of their ninth company. He came to the barracks a day later than them. He met him during training. He chatted and spanked when he was free. .

Xia Yuan raised his head and looked over.He also had a deep impression of Han's second son, who was a little younger than Old Man Wang, but he was not too young. He didn't expect that he would think of running away this time.

Accompanied by Han Laoer were three rows of acquaintances who were all hung from a tree, beaten half to death, and their bodies were torn to pieces.

As if he had sensed the gazes of everyone, Han Er Er raised his head slowly, his hair was wet, water dripped down continuously, and when he saw Old Man Wang, Xia Yuan and the others, he smiled, his teeth were blood-colored , the smile is a bit pervasive.

Old man Wang opened his mouth, but fell silent without speaking.Monkey was also shocked. He didn't feel much when he looked at the hanging people before, but when these people were replaced by people he knew, the feeling was different.

One of the scholar's lenses was broken, and he pulled it off, and he only used one to see. He covered one eye, and was startled when he saw the appearance of Han's second child. He turned his head and looked at Xia Yuan. Without speaking, the scholar fell into silence.

The scene in front of me shocked many fighters of the Ninth Company. Han Laoer is quite well-known in the Ninth Company. He is relatively kind and likes to make friends when he has nothing to do. Everyone basically knows each other. Even those who don’t know each other are confused The face is familiar, and now he is hung under a tree with other people. The impact of this scene is not small.

In this way, it indeed deterred some people who had the idea of ​​fleeing.

Old man Wang had settled down and stopped thinking about his little thoughts, and Xu Liu also said last night that they might not go to the battlefield.In this way, life gradually returned to the right track, and the daily training was still the same as before, without much change. The only difference was that the soldiers began to care about the battle on the front line. Every one to two days, they could hear the news from the front line. Come back some news, also known as the topic of chatting after everyone's training.

After two days, Han Lao Er followed the army training normally, the wound on his body was not treated with medicine, and was beaten by the training instructor with a whip every day, Han Lao Er's condition became more and more wrong.

Four days later, Han Lao Er got up early, earlier than the others, and cleaned himself up, even cleaned the straw shed, which made everyone stunned.

"Second Han, is your injury healed?" Someone looked at Second Han and asked in confusion.

"It's not good, it's not good." Han Er Er replied.

Everyone scratched their heads and didn't know what was going on, but the instructor saw Han's second child's state, smiled and said: "It's very energetic, rare and rare, train hard."

"You have to train hard." Han Er also responded with a smile.

Old man Wang also jokingly said: "Second Han is in good spirits. No matter how you look at it, it looks like a flashback. He said that he is dying, so he can't be confused for a while."

Old man Wang still hit the mark.

The next day, Han Lao Er died, and died in the straw shed. The third platoon leader did not treat Han Lao Er as a human being. After suffering such a serious injury, he still pointed at him with a whip and let him participate in training. He persisted for four days. , early this morning, he died in the thatched hut. When the people in the same hut called him, they found that his body was already cold. The few people who escaped with Han Laoer were not so lucky, they were already half dead Yes, it's too hot. When everyone passed by Han Laoer's thatched hut, they could smell a rancid smell, which was very unpleasant. It was their wounds festering and inflammation, but the national army's medicines were limited. It will not be used on these people.

Moreover, such a motley army is basically cannon fodder.

The death of Han Lao Er surprised everyone, because the first day was fine, but it was not good this morning, so many people thought that what Old Man Wang said was correct. The thatched shed was cleaned up again, and the training was also very serious, as if saying goodbye to this.

Xia Yuan was as calm as ever.

Now that he has entered the ranks of the national army, he has already made psychological preparations. The life of the soldiers at the bottom of the national army is very difficult. On the one hand, they are oppressed by landlords and bullies;

The commander of the Ninth Company is pretty good, but it's a pity that the leader of the third platoon is a jerk.

On the second day after Han Lao Er died, several soldiers who escaped with Han Lao Er hanged themselves in the grass shed, and they hanged themselves quietly. It is said that a soldier inside who went to the bathroom in the middle of the night was scared crazy. , anyone who wakes up in the middle of the night and sees a few hanging corpses can't help feeling horrified.

"It's a pity, I'm stupid when I'm only in my early 20s." Old man Wang looked at the crazy young soldier with regret.

Everyone didn't speak, looking at the funny appearance of the crazy young soldiers, wanted to laugh but couldn't laugh at all.

On the second day, the crazy young soldiers disappeared, and they didn't know where they went, but Xia Yuan and the others gradually returned to normal, physical training, goose step, formation, tactical training, etc., daily life was just following Mr. Han The second incident caused a wave of waves, and as the stone sank to the bottom of the lake, the ripples collided with the shore, and the lake became calm.

"The situation on the front line is not optimistic, we have to get ready to go."

On this day, the company commander suddenly summoned all the cadres in the company and started a secret meeting. Then at the end of the night, when Xu Liu went to the bathroom, he called Xia Yuan out with a serious expression on his face.

Xia Yuan kept thinking about the time, it was already the 23rd, and it had been ten days since the Battle of Songhu started, and the battle situation on the front line was reported to the barracks every day.

Four word summary.

Not optimistic.

As a modern person, only Xia Yuan knows the specific direction of the Battle of Songhu. In the early morning of this day, about 11 people from the No. 1 Division of the Japanese Army landed in Xiaochuansha and Shizilin, and the Third Division landed at Wusongkou at the same time. The two main divisions of the Japanese army reinforced the Japanese navy from the north of Shanghai, which undoubtedly brought huge changes to the siege of the urban area that lasted for ten days.

Not only that, General Zhang's headquarters also lost contact with the frontline combat troops, and the information was blocked, which was undoubtedly the most deadly.The headquarters of the 87th Division is located in the area between Jiangwan Town and Wusongkou Lion Forest.

General Zhang knew that he couldn't sit still at the headquarters, so he grabbed a messenger's bicycle on the way, stared at the stray bullets fired by the Japanese warship, crossed the line of fire all the way, and personally delivered the letter to the division headquarters of the 87th Division.

The battle in Shanghai is tense, and the capital Jinling has issued orders to the provincial troops to support the front line, and today's secret meeting is to prepare for the next departure.

Knowing the news, Xia Yuan didn't feel too nervous. His calm talent kept his mind steady. He only asked, "When are you leaving?"

"the day after tomorrow!"

The time of departure was beyond Xia Yuan's expectation, he didn't expect to come so soon.

"Flesh Mill."

Every time this word was mentioned, Xia Yuan's heart sank, and the Henan army dispatched two divisions, and there was no slight ripple in this flesh and blood mill.Xia Yuan still remembers the heavy heart he felt when he saw this history.

General Bai of the Gui Army is the deadly enemy of the bald head, but at the time of the national crisis, he still chose to let go of the past and unite to fight against Japan. At the beginning of the Battle of Songhu, the Gui Army set off. This army from Guangxi took the train. Then I took a car, then walked, and arrived in Shanghai after more than three months.

At that time, the combat plan adopted by the national army was to stick to the position to the death. General Bai arrived at the front line and found that the situation on the front line was not optimistic. Facing the Japanese army with very luxurious weapons and equipment, it is not enough to look at.

But the Gui army was not in the least, it was a wolf soldier. During the Northern Expedition, the Gui army was even known as the "steel army".
