Zhou Wen took out a pack of cigarettes from Meng Yuting's pocket. Under everyone's surprised gazes, he took out one and put it on his mouth, motioning to Meng Yuting to light it for him, and then took a deep breath.
He forgot that this body was no longer the old smoker in his previous life. A sudden deep breath of cigarette smoke was raging in his throat and lungs. Zhou Wen choked and coughed violently, coughing until tears were about to fall, but he
His eyes are getting brighter and brighter, and there is a smile on his face.
He took a small puff of the cigarette again, closed his eyes and thought about it, and said: "Yu Ting is right, they are here to kill the Chinese. If we don't kill them, they will kill us behind us."
Thousands of Chinese people." Zhou Wen pointed to the vast world behind him as he spoke.
Then he looked at his brothers with a firm face and continued: "If they dare to come again, I will still kill them until they are too scared to come. I will never regret it!"
His words were like a vow, echoing in everyone's ears.
"I won't regret it either."
"Me too."
"I don't regret it either."
…
Everyone swore an oath under this starry sky - "We will never regret it!"
After several people finished speaking, they all felt relieved, as if a shackles on their bodies were suddenly released. They were no longer confused and confused, because they killed to protect their homeland, and they killed to protect the millions of Chinese people behind them.
.
At this time, Zhou Wen had already lit up his second cigarette. For a person with the soul of an old smoker, once smoking begins, there will be no end.
Looking at the troops of the Fifth Army coming from afar, Zhou Wen knew that the Battle of Temple Walk was over. Maybe tomorrow the people across the country could cheer again, and the morale of the Chinese people would be raised to a new level again.
Since the Opium War, how many years has it been since China won a victory in a foreign war? Even just one battle or battle is a frustrating and disappointing failure. Compromise, failure, and compromise again. The Chinese people have been tortured for hundreds of years.
The torture of humiliation and failure has long made me numb and accustomed to endure it.
And tonight, a total of four thousand Japanese soldiers fell on this humiliated land.
Tonight, evil has been punished and justice has been demonstrated.
A great victory in the temple tour may be like a spark, igniting the deep-seated and buried unwillingness and unyielding heart of the Chinese people - a spark can start a prairie fire.
"And all this is just the beginning." Zhou Wen said silently in his heart.
He also knew in his heart that the mission of the mercenary group in the Songhu War was over.
After the Japanese army increased its troops for the second time and suffered an even more disastrous defeat, Ueda's offensive plan was completely blocked.
However, the third increase in Japanese troops will come soon. The Japanese Army General Staff Headquarters will establish the Shanghai Dispatch Army Headquarters, with General Shirakawa Yoshinori taking over from Ueda, and adding the 11th and 14th Divisions.
and more than a hundred aircraft came to the Songhu battlefield in order to launch a larger-scale attack.
By that time, the total strength of the Japanese army in Songhu had reached more than 90,000, with 80 warships and 300 aircraft, and their combat effectiveness had increased sharply. However, after a month of hard fighting, the Chinese defenders had suffered serious casualties, and their total strength was less than 50,000, and their equipment
, the military strength is at an absolute disadvantage.
Since the Nanjing government did not send reinforcements to Songhu again for the sake of defending Nanjing and hoping for mediation from the League of Nations, the trend of the Songhu War began to be favorable to the Japanese army.
Through the memory of his previous life, Zhou Wen certainly also knew that the Songhu War ended with the mediation of the League of Nations, and China and Japan signed the "Shanghai Armistice Agreement" (also known as the "Songhu Armistice Agreement") in Shanghai.
The agreement stipulates that Shanghai is a "demilitarized zone" and China is not allowed to station troops in the area from Shanghai to Anting, Kunshan and Suzhou, while Japan can station "a number of" troops.
The Nationalist Government blindly relied on diplomatic means and major powers to resolve disputes, and adhered to the policy of "resistance on one side and negotiation on the other", which led to the final situation.
However, major countries such as the United Kingdom and the United States failed to curb Japan's aggressive ambitions in time, and they will eventually burn themselves out and reap the consequences.
It is impossible and powerless for Zhou Wen to change the direction of history. No matter how strong the mercenary group is, it is impossible to fight against the Japanese aircraft and artillery. He can only apply the old saying: If you keep the green hills, you will not be afraid of running out of firewood.
Moreover, the mercenary group has been fighting continuously for more than a week. Except for the brothers in the first team, thousands of other people have experienced war for the first time, went to the battlefield for the first time, killed people for the first time, and they killed several people in just a few days.
Thousands of people, their bodies and minds have reached a limit.
Zhou Wen didn't want the mercenary group he had worked so hard to cultivate to be destroyed in a war. Something called war syndrome was an incurable disease that destroyed the psychology of soldiers.
The way to lead an army is to relax one by one.
After thinking clearly, Zhou Wen threw away the cigarette butt that had burned his fingers, stood up and patted the ashes on his butt, and said to Meng Yuting and the others: "Okay, the friendly forces have arrived. Let the brothers pack up and prepare to evacuate. The Japanese army will attack at dawn
The plane is coming soon.
Suddenly he slapped his forehead and said, "I almost forgot. The Japanese command post in the village hasn't had time to clean up yet. The Japanese major general's equipment is very good. He also has several radios and maps. Take them away and give them to Chief Zhang and the others."
Deal with it."
Miaohua became excited as soon as she heard this, and said to Zhou Wen: "I'll go and you can have a good rest. You can hand over the rest, but the Japanese general's command sword must be kept. That's a good thing."
Zhang Xiaoping and Xu Dacheng also laughed and wanted to follow, so Zhou Wen let them go.
…
At the same time, Lieutenant General Ueda, who was in the Japanese military headquarters, finally realized the despair felt by Shimomoto Kumiya before, "Baga! When did the Chinese army become so powerful? There are still several reinforced troops in the entire brigade, just
On a night like this, everything is like ashes. Even catching 5,000 pigs will take more time, right?"
The old man Ueda had veins popping out on his forehead and walked around the headquarters with blood-red eyes. His future and the third star on his shoulder straps that he longed for were all gone with the Huncheng 24 Brigade that disappeared tonight.
go.
He is unwilling and unwilling.
How could the Imperial Army, which had only over 10,000 soldiers last year, drive hundreds of thousands of Chinese troops into the Pass like sheep, easily occupying nearly 800,000 square kilometers of fertile land?
But with tens of thousands of the most elite imperial soldiers, dozens of warships, hundreds of aircraft and countless artillery, they suffered a lot in this mere dozens of square kilometers of land without making any progress. It was Amaterasu.
Does the great god no longer bless you?
Ueda was now completely filled with shame and disappointment. He quickly picked up the phone on the table and shouted an order: "I order the navy's naval guns to bombard the forward position of Yunzohama. Start the bombardment now."
"What? You can't shoot accurately in the dark and you're afraid of accidental injury?"
"There are no friendly forces in that area anymore, let's fire."
