The Travelers of the Heavens

It was April 17, the 29th year of Xiangying of the Great Zhou Empire (the 26th year of the Republic of China, 1937 AD).

In the Japanese capital of Tokyo, the grand wedding of Pu Jie and Saga Hao was held as scheduled.

Wang Yu and his party stayed for a few days after attending the wedding, and then took a plane back to Fengtian.

In July of the same year, a large number of Japanese troops surrounded Shanglan from both land and water.

On July 7, the Japanese Marine Corps landed ashore, and brazenly launched an attack on the 37th Brigade of the Japanese Army on the pretext that naval personnel were missing in Shanghuan.

This was the"July 7 Shanglan Incident" that shocked China and foreign countries, and a full-scale war began.

The Japanese clamored wildly to destroy the Rooster Land within three months.

July 8, Presidential Palace in the Forbidden City, Beijing

"Report to the president that the Japanese took the lead in launching a war." An officer came in with a telegram to report.

"oh? A fight started? Chi Lian asked with his legs resting on the desk and his back leaning on the back of the chair.

"It is absolutely true that the Japanese Marine Corps launched a brazen attack on the grounds that their own personnel were missing in Shanghuan," the officer explained while handing over the telegram.

"What are the local instructions? Chi Lian asked

"No local telegram has been received yet," the officer said.

"Order our army to be ready and ready to go into battle at any time," Chi Lian ordered.

""Yes." The officer saluted and then withdrew.

"The Japanese people with short legs are very impatient." Chi Lian held up the telegraph newspaper, shook it, and threw it away. Old

Summer Palace, temporary residence of Anton Governor's Mansion

"Report to the prince, there is news from the presidential palace." The officer from the telecommunications room came to the office.

"What's the matter?" Wang Qi asked

"The Japanese have gone into full-scale war with the Republic of China, and the president ordered all troops to be prepared and ready to go into battle at any time," said the officer in the telecommunications room

"Got it, go down," Wang Qi said after receiving the telegram.

After a while, Li Xiaoman and his three sons came

"Husband, what happened? I heard that many soldiers came into the garden." Li Xiaoman asked

"The war has begun, and the Japanese are attacking Shanghuan," Wang Qi said.

"ah?"Li Xiaoman was surprised at first, and then she calmed down. Then she thought that today is July 8th, which is the beginning of the all-out war of resistance.

Compared with the cheap mother, Wang Cong is very calm. He has already I expected this day

"That.. What instructions will father give us?" Li Xiaoman asked Wang Qi

"There is no news yet, but the president ordered all troops to be ready and ready to go into battle at any time." Wang Qi handed the telegram to Li Xiaoman

"Father, are you ready for battle? Who to hit?"Wang Cong couldn't help but ask

"Of course we are fighting the Kuomintang troops," Wang Qi said.

"What! Does grandfather really want to bear this infamy?!"Wang Cong was shocked. He thought that his grandfather was acting, but he didn't expect that he would actually do something like this.

"Treason! How can you say that about your grandfather?" Wang Qi scolded

"Brother, you must not be a collaborator," the second eldest brother Wang Pu said at this time. Now nineteen years old, Wang Pu is very smart and eloquent, but he just doesn't speak well. He has had many quarrels with his elder brother before.

"What nonsense are you talking about!"Wang Beixuan shot back.

"Brother, the affairs of the country are decided by my grandfather and father. What do you mean by criticizing my grandfather here? Do you hope that our soldiers will lose the battle in the future?" Wang Pu asked back

"you!"Wang Beixuan is angry

"concentric! What to say!"Li Xiaoman scolded his second son.

"alright! Stop making noise! Everybody get out! go out!"Wang Qi slammed the table and shouted loudly

"Husband, calm down; Beixuan, please take your two brothers out quickly." Li Xiaoman advised her husband and said to Wang Cong. After the three sons left,

"Hey, these two traitors!"Wang Qi stroked his forehead and sighed.

"Husband, the most urgent thing is to think about what we should do. Why not send a telegram to the Taishi Mansion and ask what the father means?" Li Xiaoman changed the subject.

"Forget it, if the father has a will, he will naturally come to me. At the moment, it is important to guard the front line of Xuzhou, the capital, to avoid being detoured and raided by the Kuomintang troops," Wang Qi said.

Li Xiaoman listened and nodded.

The Great Zhou Empire did not Declaring war on the Republic of China, so the Kuomintang is unlikely and dare not do so. However, the Jinsui Army and the Majia warlords are not sure.

Wang Cong returned to his room, and he began to think again, the artillery fire of the Kyushu Army It is very fierce. Once the artillery fires, only a piece of scorched earth will be left. No matter it is the Kuomintang, the Eighth Route Army, or any other armed force, it will never be able to withstand such fierce artillery fire.

Wang Cong's worries are not groundless. He has seen The artillery exercises of the Kyushu Army are really powerful, because the ammunition used by the artillery of the Kyushu Army is different from that of other countries. In addition to conventional artillery shells, a kind of ammunition called"Drilling Mountain Shells" is also widely equipped in the artillery of the Kyushu Army. In the army.

Mountain-penetrating artillery shells are specially used to deal with enemies in mountains, underground tunnels and permanent fortifications. In future wars, earth-penetrating artillery shells will cause huge casualties to many opponents.

If the artillery fire of the M country can cut off the top of the mountain by several meters and ten If it is a few meters, the artillery fire of the Kyushu soldiers can blow up a mountain in the same time, which is very amazing.

As a modern Blue Star soul piercer, Wang Cong does not want his grandfather to become the executioner of the army and civilians who slaughters roosters. But Wang Cong didn't want to think about it. His grandfather was not a modern person, and it was impossible to have empathy with him. Even in modern times, there is still ridicule of"pessimism and incompatibility". As Wang Yu, who is originally an ancient person, why should he? He is required to have empathy with modern people. Besides, in the eyes of modern people, Wang Yu is feudal and old-fashioned. It is wishful thinking for Wang Yu to have empathy with those who accuse him of being feudal and old-fashioned.

Wang Cong is very conflicted, and he does not know what to do. Suddenly he thought of Chu Bufan. As one of Wang Yu's most trusted people, Chu Bufan should be able to persuade Wang Yu to rein in the situation, but unfortunately, Chu Bufan could not help in this matter. On

July 12, Occupy The Japanese Marine Corps in Hongkou was heavily besieged by the National Army. The 87th and 88th Divisions, the most elite troops of the National Army, and the 51st Division of the 74th Army launched an attack on Hongkou. The Japanese Marine Corps was gradually exhausted.

At this time, a wave came from The order from the Japanese Home Army was passed to the Japanese troops in Shanghuan. The content was that all the Japanese navy and army should withdraw from Shanghuan for rest and recuperation. Less than five days after the war started, the retreat of the Japanese was reported to someone in Jinling, Jiang. He was overjoyed. Immediately, he contacted Westerners and asked for mediation. But Jiang did not expect that the terrible enemy who asked him to abandon all his direct troops in Ning, Shanghai and Hangzhou was about to appear. On

July 13, Qi Meng, Director of Foreign Affairs of the Anton Protectorate, accepted After receiving the order from Luoyi, she immediately issued a public document declaring war on the Kuomintang in Jinling. When the news came out, the whole world was shocked. On the

14th, the Kyushu Army increased its troops in North China, and the 20th, 21st, and 22nd Corps appeared through the time and space tunnel in Beijing-Tianjin area.

These three corps are second-line corps. Each corps has four corps and sixteen divisions, with a number of 500,000 to 520,000 people. Since these second-line corps lack armor, their artillery units and The anti-aircraft artillery units are slightly stronger than the first-line corps.

"Well, your three armies combined have 1.5 million people and more than 7,000 artillery pieces. I order you to capture Shanghuan within ten days." Chi Lian said to the commanders of the three corps and his commanders.

""Don't worry, President, I won't be able to win the title of Shanghuan in ten days. I won't be punished by the President. I will terminate my humble position on my own as a thank you to the President and His Highness," said Niu Jiao, commander of the 20th Corps.

Most of the commanders of the second-line corps are outsiders.

"President, we swear to God that we will win Shanghuan within ten days." The commanders and commanders of the 21st and 22nd Corps swore one after another

"Very good, in short, this war is 1.5 million versus 400,000, the advantage lies with me," Chi Lian said. On the morning of the 15th, the three corps set off one after another. On the north bank of the Yangtze River, which is thousands of kilometers long, the three corps The artillery began to violently bombard the Kuomintang defenses on the other side to cover the troops crossing the river. The roar of more than 7,000 heavy artillery pieces with a caliber of 105 and above shook the earth. Many Kuomintang defenders were turned into powder in the shelling before they had time to evacuate the fortifications. Some of the troops on the Yangtze River were The gunboats and gunboats of the Western powers were also affected.

At the exit of the south bank of the Jinling and Central China Yangtze River Bridges, the Kuomintang army deployed machine gun positions. However, the Kyushu Army's tidal attack made it impossible for them to hold on. In just half an hour, the two bridges were destroyed. After getting through, several divisions of Kyushu soldiers followed the bridge to the south bank, and then went to the suburbs of Shanghuan to assemble. On August

13, the 29th year of Xiangying (the 26th year of the Republic of China, 1937 AD), the Kyushu Army's third All 1.5 million troops of the corps are in place, preparing to launch a general attack on Shanghuang. They will take ten days to capture Shanghuang, and the whole world is paying attention to this battle.
