I will keep you in my heart forever. I will have an unchanging heart on the long road. When the wind blows, I will let you feel what warmth is. The luckiest thing in my life is to meet you!————————
——"Quotes from Kongchen"
After the first shock, the soldiers of the Hainan Army were prepared in their hearts. After the three signal bombs representing the general offensive were launched into the sky, they quickly launched the attack.
"Come on!" Chen Zhipeng, the leader of the third regiment, shouted, leading his subordinate Zhang Lingfu to charge forward.
He wanted to quickly rush into the Japanese front before the Japanese army on the opposite side could react, and once again expand the fruits of victory.
On the opposite side, after experiencing another nightmare for more than ten seconds, the Japanese soldiers finally couldn't stand it anymore and collapsed. Japs soldiers were everywhere howling and running away, their bodies burning with flames, and they gradually fell to the ground and burned to ashes.
At this time, the Japanese soldiers could not be expected to organize resistance. Their faith had collapsed after being shattered by rockets.
No matter how much the Japanese officers encouraged and scolded them, it didn't work. They were wandering around like headless flies, with only one thought in their minds, and that was to quickly escape from this damn place.
Because they are afraid, afraid that the meteor shower will fall on their heads again, bringing horrific death and being submerged in the sea of flames.
Perhaps death at the moment of the explosion was a relief, but more importantly, life was worse than death. The flames burned people into charcoal bit by bit, and the miserable screams still seemed to echo in their ears.
Facing the raging sea of fire, some were just helpless and desperate, so they thought of running away, panicking, and cowardly running away. As for the spirit of bushido, loyalty to His Majesty the Emperor, let them go to hell!
The Japanese army was not undefeated on the battlefield. The bloody battle at Taierzhuang once shattered the myth of the Japanese army's reputation as the "invincible division." But now, it was another defeat for the Japanese army.
But what is different from the past is that what this defeat shattered was the Japanese soldiers' faith and the spirit they relied on for survival. The Japanese army without spirit was just a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.
Shanghai, Japanese Army Central China Headquarters.
"What? Our Imperial Japanese Army was defeated like this?" After receiving the news of the defeat of the frontline troops, Matsui Iwane slumped on his chair helplessly, as if all the strength in his body had been drained away in an instant.
The army was defeated like a mountain. In just two hours, the situation on the frontline changed drastically. The Hainan Army used new weapons to instantly defeat the Japanese troops on the front battlefield. The large troops swarmed up to divide and surround the chaotic Japanese troops, and then followed in a panic.
The retreating Japanese troops did not cover up and kill them all the way for more than ten miles until the ground was littered with wreckage and corpses.
A deep despair came to Matsui Iwane's heart. He knew that he had failed completely, and that he had failed miserably. It was he who personally destroyed the Japanese army's advantage in the war in South China. He knew that he would be responsible for the failure of the Nanjing Battle.
And to take responsibility, the only way left for him is to have a caesarean section to thank the Emperor!
Moreover, this battle strengthened the faith of the Chinese people, and also shattered the "dream" of the Japanese army! From now on, the Japanese army's invasion of China will no longer be easy. Is it possible that the Japanese Empire will be defeated? Suddenly, a thing that frightens him
The thought came to Matsui Iwane's mind and couldn't be shaken off.
"I am ashamed of His Majesty the Emperor's trust!" Matsui Iwane muttered to himself in a dull manner. Gradually, his fingers climbed up to the katana on the stand, as if stroking his first love.
Hainan Military Government.
As soon as he learned of the victory on the front line, Li Weidong, who had been hanging on his heart, finally breathed a sigh of relief. Although he was confident that the Hainan Army would win, no one could guarantee whether the Japanese army would win until the last moment.
There is still one hand left.
It can be said that this battle of Nanjing was very difficult. It took half a year, and the manpower and material resources invested were incalculable. The Hainan Army's "rich" wealth could hardly bear it. At the same time, the results of this battle were also very rich, not only
This shattered the Japanese army's "dream" of annihilating China in March. Moreover, after this battle, the Japanese Central China Front Army was completely crippled by the Hainan Army. The remaining Japanese troops south of the Yangtze River were no longer a threat to the Hainan Army.
Nothing happened and he felt light. When he walked out of the sweltering headquarters, the breeze blew through his bones and felt a sense of relief. When he let go of the huge stone in his heart, Li Weidong felt that his body and mind suddenly became much more relaxed.
"Is it raining?" Feeling a hint of coolness dripping down, Li Weidong raised his head and looked at the silky drizzle falling from the sky, feeling so peaceful inside.
An accident brought him to this war-torn era, but he initially vowed to kill the Japanese invaders but struggled. He started to rise from an unknown militia, used mutiny to rise to power, then scheming with the Nanjing government, then brazenly launched the North Vietnam War and now marches north.
War of Resistance.
At the beginning of his rise, he was described as a tyrant, a big and ambitious warlord. When he launched the North Vietnam War, he was once again judged as a 'traitor' who acted for his own selfish interests regardless of the dangers of the nation and the country. He could
He accepted being called a hero, but he would never accept the label of 'traitor', so he hurriedly ended the North Vietnam War and ordered the troops to go north to join the war, because his hatred for the Japanese had never changed.
He has never shared his pure and heart-warming dream with others, to make the Chinese nation rise to the top of the world. Even if the blood of countless people is stained on his hands, it cannot be washed away, even if the price of some countries
It would not hesitate to call him a 'war butcher'.
The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the black hair turned into curtain beads. Pedestrians on the street also looked for places to take shelter from the rain.
At this time, an oil-paper umbrella was held above Li Weidong's head. Looking back at the Prime Minister, that familiar smile warmed Li Weidong's cold heart.
He reached out to take the oil-paper umbrella, smiled at each other, and the two young figures disappeared into the drizzle.

The next day.
"General, there is an urgent message from the Shanghai Intelligence Station!" Gao Yi quickly walked into the commander-in-chief's office and handed a message marked with a red emergency symbol to Li Weidong.
Seeing that flash of red, Li Weidong frowned slightly. Could it be something big?
Nowadays, the headquarters rarely receives military intelligence messages of this level. The red symbols marked on them will only appear when there is major military intelligence, changes, or it can affect the direction of the war.
However, after seeing the contents of the cable, Li Weidong was also stunned. The events reported in the cable were beyond his expectation.
"Matsui Iwane committed suicide?" Li Weidong was very surprised when he heard the news for the first time, and the officers in the operations department also cheered when they learned about it.
"I can't believe he committed suicide! What a pity, he was a very talented man!" Li Weidong shook his head slightly and sighed. Perhaps he was sighing at Matsui Iwane's foolish loyalty, or perhaps he was laughing at a grasshopper whose arms were like a cart.
Of course, Li Weidong did not know the pressure Matsui Iwane was feeling at this time, and could not help but choose suicide to end the pain. However, in his opinion, Matsui Iwane's suicide at this time was tantamount to adding salt to the wounds of the Japanese army in Central China again.
Although the main divisions of the Japanese army in Central China were basically lost, the remaining Japanese troops in various places were not without combat effectiveness. They could still put together tens of thousands of people, and the attack was insufficient, but with the assistance of the Japanese navy, Shanghai was held
The city is no problem.
Now that Matsui Iwane died like this, although it was a relief for him, it also brought complete destruction to the Japanese Central China Front.
Bad news came one after another from the front line. Once a great rout was formed, no one could stop it. The Japanese soldiers only knew how to escape, throwing away their guns, uniforms, ammunition, and everything they could.
However, the soldiers of the Hainan Army would not necessarily let them go easily. The Hainan Army driving vehicles could easily catch up with the fleeing Japanese troops and annihilate or capture them.
It was like recreating the defeat scene of the National Army that year. Everyone was just trying to escape, but they still fell to the muzzle of the Hainan Army's massacre one by one.
However, the most successful ones were the Hainan Army fighter planes. They hovered like eagles in the blue sky. After discovering the slightly larger Japanese troops, they swooped down directly, dropped aerial bombs, and fired continuously from machine guns.
Scatter them all.
Moreover, Li Weidong's military orders soon reached the front line. He ordered the Second Field Army to encircle and eliminate the effective Japanese forces as much as possible, pushing the front all the way to the edge of the Yangtze River.
This military purpose of the operation had actually been determined before the Battle of Nanjing. However, what Li Weidong did not expect was that the Japanese army would be defeated on such a scale. After this battle, Li Weidong was confident that he would consolidate the Yangtze River defense line so that the Japanese army would no longer be able to set foot in South China.
of land.
However, Li Weidong did not order the troops to march to Nanjing because he still had concerns.
This was because the Hainan Army had to make full preparations to march into the Central Plains and counterattack the Japanese North China Front. Although this battle was a great victory, it was not without its troubles. How to get along with the Nationalist Government became a major headache for Li Weidong.
The guest is strong and the host is weak. The military strength gap between the Hainan Army and the National Army has been put on the table. And it is obviously not in line with Li Weidong's intention to turn against the National Government now.
Therefore, Li Weidong did not order the Hainan Army to march into Nanjing and further provoke the Nationalist Government. Who is Chairman Chiang? Does Li Weidong not understand?
As for the Nanjing battlefield, while the Hainan Army won a great victory on the main battlefield, the National Army outside Nanjing also defeated the Japanese troops besieging Nanjing with several times their strength advantage.
Tang Shengzhi was also very happy to beat up the drowned dog. After being suppressed and beaten for so long, it was time to rise up! He immediately ordered all the troops to pursue the remaining enemies and did not stop until they reached the Hainan Army. The Japanese troops captured along the way
The large number of weapons and equipment also made him burst into laughter.
