Meng Shaoyuan knew that he had become a real "iron man"!

He didn't get a moment's rest.

Nanlinpo, Minjiacun, Zhujiaping...

Meng Shaoyuan was full of energy.

One after another, spies were found by him.

The pace of war is rapidly approaching Shipai.

Meng Shaoyuan must find the last spy before the war begins!

This is his job!

He is not a soldier accustomed to fighting.

He is an excellent agent.

This is what a good agent should do.

This is his duty!

"boom"!

Meng Shaoyuan personally executed a newly captured spy.

He returned the pistol to Li Zhifeng and sat down on the ground:

"it's over."

it's over!

Today is May 25, 1943.

Just a few days ago, on May 21, the Japanese Third Division, known as "never defeated", crossed the Qingjiang River and began a massive attack from south to north.

The Japanese 39th Division crossed the Yangtze River and attacked the Yinjiadu area from north to southwest.

The Japanese Third Division penetrated all the way into Yichang County, and then launched an attack on the positions of our 11th Division.

At the same time, the 18th Division on the flank also suffered a frontal attack from the enemy.

At this point, the battle to defend Shipai officially started, and the officers and soldiers of the 18th Army sang the war song of defending the country in Shipai with their flesh and blood!

In the distance, the sound of gunfire can already be heard.

Li Zhifeng also sat next to him: "The telegrams from Yi Mingyan and Su Junwen have arrived. They have basically eliminated the Japanese detachments that fled into our defense area. They are waiting for orders at Shipai."

"These bastards are waiting for orders?"

Meng Shaoyuan couldn't help laughing: "They are waiting for my orders in Shipai. They are waiting for a war!"

"That's right." Li Zhifeng followed suit: "How can they hide their little tricks from you, sir? I said boss, you go back first, I will go to Shipai and catch these bastards!"

"You? Damn it, you can come back after you go, and you still want to get rid of me?"

Meng Shaoyuan glared: "What little thoughts they have? Can your little thoughts be hidden from me?"

Li Zhifeng smiled "hehe": "I missed this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and will regret it for the rest of my life!"

"Li Zhifeng, our military commander is an agent, not for charging into battle!"

"Yes, sir, I was wrong."

"But if you miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, you will be a fucking bastard!"

Meng Shaoyuan suddenly changed the topic: "Defend the stone, defend the country, and defend the last line of defense. We soldiers have experienced it personally and shed blood on our country. How lucky we are!"

"Impulsive, impulsive." Li Zhifeng said repeatedly: "How do you explain to Boss Dai?"

"Tell the truth, what else are you hiding?" Meng Shaoyuan said slowly: "Give Boss Dai power. There are still remaining Japanese troops operating around Shipai, and the department will continue to clear them up."

Li Zhifeng grinned: "What should Director Mao do?"

Director Mao?

Mao Renfeng?

Meng Shaoyuan also laughed.

I have been so busy these days that I forgot about him.

Mao Renfeng followed Su Junwen.

When had he ever suffered like this?

"My anger is almost gone. It's time to let him go." Meng Shaoyuan thought for a moment: "Let's go to Shipai and meet Director Mao!"

…

May 25, 1943.

The Japanese army concentrated two divisions and one brigade to attack the positions of the 13th Division of the 86th Army of the National Army.

This time, the Japanese army adopted the tactic of combining detours with large frontal assaults in an attempt to forcibly seize the landing beachhead.

The Thirteenth Division and the Marine Battery immediately fired back, and the scene immediately burned into a sea of ​​flames.

On this day, the sky was full of glow and the wind was gentle and sunny.

Hu Lian had already made up his mind to die in Shipai's hunting river wind.

There were only two roads before him, success or success, there was no other choice.

He can only fight alone, with no one else to rely on.

Before him, all the units of the national army tried their best, but still could not stop the crazy and brutal steps of the Japanese army.

And he was the last hurdle. The Japanese army would occupy Shipai and advance into Chongqing unless they stepped over his bones.

At noon, Hu Lian followed ancient customs, bathed and changed clothes, worshiped the mountain god, and swore an oath to the heavenly alliance.

He put on a brand new military uniform, led all the division staff, and climbed Phoenix Mountain step by step.

On this day, Meng Shaoyuan arrived at Shipai in time and climbed Phoenix Mountain in time!

He witnessed this scene with his own eyes.

At 12 noon, the scorching sun was shining brightly.

Hu Lian led all the people to kneel down on the top of the mountain, kneel down under the sky, and kneel down before the spiritual thrones of his ancestors. Hu Lian loudly vowed to worship the heavenly alliance:

"Hu Lian, Commander of the 11th Army Division of the National Revolutionary Army, would like to declare to the gods of the mountains and rivers with all sincerity:

I am now leading a majestic army to defend the land that my ancestors worked hard and left to us. My name is just and my words are true, my determination is firm, and I will fight to the death.

There is no conflict between Han and thieves. There is a clear saying in ancient times. China and barbarians must be strict in distinguishing each other. The Spring and Autumn Period preserves the righteousness. Live as a soldier and die as the soul of the army. Future generations will look at the present just as today's people look at the past. Why should I be worried!

Now that the thieves have invaded, I will definitely annihilate them, exhaust all my strength, and die for them. However, I firmly believe that Heaven, the one in the blue, will bless the faithful. In the bloody battle, our victory is within grasp. I swear this oath, on the 5th of the 32nd year of the Republic of China.

Noon on the twenty-seventh day of the month.”

"Live as a soldier, die as a soldier!"

"Live as a soldier, die as a soldier!"

Behind him, there is a uniform call!

Meng Shaoyuan, I met you!

He has been here and he witnessed!

The land under our feet was left to us by our ancestors who overcame all obstacles and endured hardships. No one can take it away from us.

It is natural and justifiable for us to defend our land. The gods of our ancestors will bless us to defeat our stubborn enemies and defend our homeland.

Meng Shaoyuan shouted slogans and thought silently in his heart.

The fate of the Chinese nation was borne on the shoulders of Hu Lian and his eight thousand soldiers at the critical moment.

They must use their flesh and blood to block the enemy's bullets, protect the precarious and troubled Chinese nation, and save this nation, which has been devastated by the flames of war, from catastrophe and national destruction.

…

"Director Mao, I'm offended."

Meng Shaoyuan looked at the embarrassed Mao Renfeng: "I'm angry now. You can go back."

"And you?"

Mao Renfeng was startled: "You won't go back with me?"

"The Japanese special forces haven't been cleared yet, brothers still have things to do."

"Brother Meng! My brother Shaoyuan."

Mao Renfeng became anxious: "You have punished me enough. Come back with me quickly and stop being so petty. You are a military commander, not a soldier fighting!"

"I really still have things to do." Meng Shaoyuan hugged Mao Renfeng and said, "Director Mao, I have offended you so much, but I hope Haihan will do it."

Mao Renfeng was so anxious that she didn't know what to say: "Boss Dai can't see you. How should I answer when I ask about you?"

Meng Shaoyuan was silent for a moment and said:

"Boss Dai will ask questions when you go back. Answer them for me. Live as a soldier and die as a soldier!"
