One man's resistance against Japan, I mobilized a million people to aid Shanghai.

Zhou Weiguo looked grief-stricken. He knew his commander's helplessness and that the military situation was extremely urgent, leaving them no time to rest.

The Japanese encirclement was getting tighter and tighter. If the Japanese were to completely surround the 500,000 Nationalist troops, then the elite of the Nationalist army would be wiped out in Shanghai, which would be a devastating blow to China.

But even knowing this, Zhou Weiguo still couldn't control himself when he saw his brothers, who had risked their lives, die tragically on the front lines.

Zhou Weiguo took a deep breath, knowing there was no room for maneuver.

He abruptly pulled on his helmet, grabbed a submachine gun, and roared at Wang Lei, "Commander! Let me go! I won't come back until we take the city gate!"

Wang Lei stared intently at Zhou Weiguo for a long time before speaking:

"Go ahead, if you die, I'll be next!"

Zhou Weiguo turned around resolutely, his face full of determination to face death.

front.

Zhou Weiguo personally led his troops in another desperate charge.

Taking advantage of the lulls in the artillery fire, they advanced at an astonishing speed to the moat.

However, the Japanese strongpoints sprang up like venomous snakes from every corner of the city wall, and the dense barrage of bullets turned the moat into a death zone.

Soldiers at the forefront fell in droves, their blood staining the river red.

Zhou Weiguo and the remaining soldiers were pinned down under the riverbank, unable to lift their heads.

Overhead, the roar of Japanese machine guns and the shrieking of airplanes swept overhead; all around were splashes of water and the falling figures of comrades.

Every attempt to look up or move resulted in even more intense shooting.

Time ticked by, and with each passing second, the danger to the army at the rear increased.

Zhou Weiguo gritted his teeth and roared:

"Demolition team, charge with me!!"

He was the first to stand up, clutching the explosive charge, ready to rush forward, but was held down firmly by Zhu Yong's clone. "Commander, I'll go!"

The clones, carrying explosive packs and cluster bombs, charged from the moat, only to die on the way.

Explosive charges and grenades were scattered all over the area below the city.

Prince Asaka Yasuhiko, in his command post, looked through binoculars at the struggling Chinese army on the banks of the moat, a cruel smile of a victor on his face.

"Foolish Chinese people, actually wanting to use their flesh and blood to fight against the gods."

"Order the troops to increase firepower!"

"Their end is near. Imperial reinforcements are rapidly closing in; they can't escape!"

"Hahaha!"

On the battlefield, the 108th Division and the Eighth Army Group were being relentlessly suppressed.

On the Shanghai battlefield, the Japanese soldiers, who had been struggling to hold on, received material aid and were fully revived, chasing after the Nationalist army.

From the east and the west, the Japanese offensive was like a chopping block, aiming to crush the 500,000 Nationalist troops to death.

Meanwhile, the 108th Army and the Eighth Group Army were unable to break through the stalemate, and all the Nationalist soldiers felt that the end was nigh.

A dilapidated fleet miraculously appeared in Hangzhou Bay!

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

One after another, the same sharp explosions echoed across the battlefield, but this time, the large-caliber shells did not land on the Nationalist army's battlefield, but instead landed in Songjiang County.

Caught completely off guard, the Japanese soldiers were instantly blown up, and the entire defensive line was thrown into chaos.

"Baka!!"

Prince Asaka Yasuhiko was furious. "What the hell is the First Fleet doing? Are they idiots? Why are they attacking us?"

"Report! Chinese Navy! It's the remnants of the Chinese Navy! They...they are attacking our forces!"

When Prince Asaka Yasuhiko received this report, he could hardly believe his ears.

"What?! We haven't even gone looking for trouble with him, how dare they come and deliver themselves to us..."

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"

Before he could finish speaking, the second round of shelling had already begun.

The shells still landed accurately in Songjiang County, even blowing a ten-meter-wide gap in the western city wall.

"Baka!!"

"Baka yarou!"

Prince Asaka Yasuhiko roared in fury, "Immediately contact the First Fleet and annihilate this entire Chinese navy!!"

"I want them dead!!"

In fact, without his explanation, First Fleet Commander Chuichi Nagumo immediately began to encircle and annihilate the Chinese navy after discovering it.

Chuichi Nagumo stood on the bridge, staring intently at the naval fleet opposite him.

Those were several warships billowing thick smoke, battered and battered, looking utterly ruined.

Chuichi Nagumo originally thought the enemy would fire at his side, but he did not expect that the enemy would fire all the shells at Songjiang County.

Chuichi Nagumo immediately realized the other party's plan, and his expression changed drastically as he said:

"Baka! Immediately dispatch all warships to surround and annihilate the Chinese navy."

To his utter surprise, the Chinese navy only fired three rounds of shelling before turning tail and running away without engaging in any further engagements.

"Run?? Where do you think you're going?"

"Chase them! Destroy this naval fleet today!"

The majority of the Japanese First Fleet's main force, especially its heavy naval guns and some of its air power, immediately began pursuing the Chinese navy.

Zhu Yong stood on the bridge of the Ashigara, his gaze fixed on the Japanese First Fleet that was hot on his heels, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

He was risking his life to help Wang Lei get through Songjiang!

"Come on, you little devils, come to grandpa, grandpa has something good for you!"

Zhu Yong's gaze turned cold as he ordered his clones to go full speed ahead and lure the main force of the Japanese navy far away.
