Anti-Japanese heroic righteousness

Shanghai, North Sichuan Road.

Beisichuan Road is a north-south street in Hongkou District, Shanghai. It is adjacent to Suzhou Creek in the south and close to Huangpu River. It has excellent water transport conditions.It is adjacent to the North Railway Station on the land gate of Shanghai in the west, with a superior geographical location and a unique terrain.

After the opening of the Songhu Railway in the 24th year of Guangxu, Beisichuan Road has more convenient water and land transportation, and there are many vendors.The commercial center began to transfer from Broadway Road and Wusong Road to North Sichuan Road, and radiated around.

Afterwards, the stores lined up and the traffic increased day by day.In the 34th year of the reign of Emperor Guangxu, trams ran from Jing'an Temple via the Bund, from North Sichuan Road to Hongkou Park, and the commercial and entertainment industries developed one after another.

In the same year, Remas, a Spanish businessman, founded the Hong*dong (big) movie theater at the intersection of Haining Road and Zhapu Road, the southern section of North Sichuan Road, becoming the first official movie theater in China.

Before the Anti-Japanese War, North Sichuan Road was the commercial and entertainment center of Shanghai.

However, with the outbreak of the "August [-]" Songhu War, Hongkou became the frontier of the war. Residents fled, stores closed or moved, the market suddenly withered, and the business declined unprecedentedly.

During the Occupation, the area was under the direct jurisdiction of the navy of the island country, and the number of Japanese overseas Chinese increased sharply. The Japanese overseas Chinese relied on the power of the army to plunder the national property.There used to be more than a thousand houses on Beisichuan Road. Before the "August [-]th", the islanders only occupied dozens of houses. After the Japanese occupation, the Chinese were killed and expelled.

And right here, facing Baole'an Road, there is a magnificent building with a four-story reinforced concrete frame structure, covering an area of ​​more than [-] square meters, surrounded by office buildings and warehouses, and more than [-] square meters in the middle The playground is more than one meter long, and the whole building looks like a warship sailing on the sea from a distance.

This building is the base camp of the Island Army in Shanghai, and it is also the headquarters of the Central China Front Army of the Island Army.

At this time, the headquarters is already in a gloomy cloud, and the sea is suddenly covered with aircraft carriers and ships of the national army. Everyone knows that their only retreat route is cut off. The hope is almost equal to zero.

In the office, Commander Nishio Hiso let out a long breath of air, and said, "Thanks to Aoki-kun's reminder, otherwise the army would have poured into Shanghai by now."

Shigema Aoki smiled bitterly, and said: "The army will not shoot at their people, or the landing on the beach may be stagnated because of this, but this does not mean that we will be able to defend Shanghai, they will definitely increase from the other three directions. At the same time, the navy is placed on the sea, which is a great deterrent to the locust army, which will have a great impact on the morale of the army, and the fighting spirit of the locust army will be affected. We may not be able to defend for a few days, so, We should implement the scorched-earth plan as soon as possible."

There was a throbbing look in Nishio Hisozao's eyes, and he said: "Don't be too pessimistic, Aoki-kun, didn't the base camp say that as long as we can stick to it for a month, the battle situation will change, the base camp will definitely not treat us Just ignore it, after all, this is dozens of divisions and nearly a million troops."

Shigemako Aoki hesitated for a few seconds, backed off, closed the door, and said with a solemn face: "Nishio-kun, do you still believe the words of the base camp? The Germans have lost even the Moscow they got, and we are still counting on them to reverse it." Is it possible to lose the game? Of course the base camp doesn’t want us to be wiped out, but they are already powerless. I’m not hurting myself. Didn’t they keep saying that the situation is still under the control of the locust army, and the combined fleet still occupies a dominant position in the Pacific Ocean? Is it? Now that their navy has openly appeared in front of us, but the base camp has not made any response to this, no reinforcements, no logistics, and the base camp just blindly asks us to stick to it and fight until the last soldier. This Can't explain the problem?"

Hisao Nishio looked at Shigema Aoki with a livid face, and his eyes were a little dull, which made Shigemao Aoki very messy, and hurriedly said: "General, I don't mean to be afraid of the enemy or slander the locust army, I'm just talking about the facts, you know , I have been the captain of the regiment since you were the head of the Guards Division. After the jihad of the locust started, you were promoted to the commander of the second army, and I became your chief of staff. I followed you to fight Cangzhou and Jinan, I fought all the way to the city of Xuzhou, not to mention my combat achievements, but I am definitely a real warrior, I..."

"No no no, Aoki-kun..." Hisao Nishio waved his hand and interrupted: "You misunderstood, I didn't doubt your loyalty and courage, but I was frightened by your words from the bottom of my heart. To be honest, I still had doubts before that. Fantasia, what you said made me wake up... Well, let’s stop talking, the situation is already so bad, what do you think we should do now?"

Shigemako Aoki breathed a sigh of relief, and after thinking for a while, he said, "Jiang Haoran, you and I know that, in his eyes, we and even the army under his command have caused great harm to him, and it is a heinous crime." It is unforgivable, especially since we have just destroyed the city of Nanjing, he will not let us go, and if we fall into his hands, our life will be worse than death. Their aircraft carrier fleet on the sea has blocked the outer waters, and we have no possibility of escape There are no more, so we can only stick to the end with the belief of dying in battle, and shed the last drop of blood for the empire."

Hisao Nishio nodded heavily, with a murderous look on his face, he said fiercely: "Okay, let's shed the last drop of blood, but before that, I will let the army pay the greatest price, and, The people and the city of Shanghai will be buried with us."

Just when the two were discussing how to use the only reserve team in their hands to plant explosives for Shanghai and destroy the entire city, there was a sudden knock on the door.

Opening the door, a staff officer hurried in to report that there was an urgent call from the front, and a dense fleet of aircraft suddenly appeared in the northeast direction, and the aircraft fleet did not drop a single bomb when they passed the Su-Chang line of defense, and they came straight to Shanghai.

The two turned pale with shock, and at the same time were full of doubts. Even if the national army wanted to bomb Shanghai, there were two aircraft carrier battle groups on the sea, and there were hundreds of carrier-based aircraft on dozens of aircraft carriers. It doesn't make sense to mobilize aircraft from elsewhere for long-range bombing.

Besides, no matter what Shanghai's air defense capabilities are, after all, it is still a prosperous city of theirs with a rich cultural background. Do they want to destroy it by themselves?

This is obviously impossible, "Could it be..." The two of them suddenly looked terrified, and almost said in unison: "Airborne."

The two seemed taken aback by their own conclusions, and they were dumbfounded for a long time without any other reaction.After more than ten seconds, Nishio Hisao shouted hoarsely: "Defend, defend quickly."
