No one had expected this, not even Ning Zhenhua himself. It was not until Gao Zhisong told him that they were almost at Shanghai that Ning Zhenhua was stunned.
He still felt that he had not fought. Addiction! They were already in Shanghai?
This was an extremely tough battle for both sides.
However, it was beyond Ning Zhenhua's expectations that they had fought all the way to Da Shang Hai.
On August 13, 1937, which was the summer of this year, the Japanese invaders launched a war. The Battle of Husong lasted for three months!
In the past three months, China had invested 800,000 troops, and Japan had invested 300,000 troops. Such a war also declared the official war between China and Japan!
However, that was a three-month war. In just one night, he had overthrown the Japanese's operation for a few months?!
Since they had already reached Shang Hai! Then let's be straightforward! Kill all the devils in Shanghai and restore Shanghai!
The sky was just beginning to brighten. At this moment, Shang Hai, the Oriental Pearl, had already been disturbed by the gunfire outside the city for the entire night!
The commoners panicked. No one knew what had happened in this chaotic time!
By the time the Japanese army reached Shanghai, more than half of them had been killed!
80,000 soldiers were nothing! There were less than 40,000 people now!
However, when the Japanese army fled into Shanghai, the situation changed subtly!
Even though the Japanese army had occupied Shanghai, the majority of the Chinese people were still in Shanghai. If they pushed too hard, the Japanese would start a massacre in Shanghai to vent their anger…
Ning Zhenhua ordered to stop the pursuit.
In fact, both the Canglong Army and the 22nd Army were exhausted from the night's battle. Many of them could not run anymore. They laid down on the ground and fell asleep with their guns.
Under such circumstances, Ning Zhenhua had no choice but to slowly retreat to the neighboring Taicang City to station his troops.
From Chang Shu to Shanghai, it was more than a hundred kilometers. No one expected that they would advance so quickly!
But now, Suzhou, Wuxi, and Changzhou were still in the hands of the devils!
Of course, this was a great opportunity to take advantage of the Japanese's defeat to recover the lost land in Jianghuai and Zhejiang Province!
……
Ning Zhenhua was also tired. He had been on tenterhooks the entire night. Although he had never gotten out of the car from the beginning to the end and just sat on the comfortable leather seat, he had been fighting at the front line.
The Battle Fortress's four cannons and four machine guns had entered a cooldown state and could no longer be fired.
It wasn't that they didn't have any artillery shells, but if they continued to fight, even the weapons produced by the system wouldn't be able to withstand such a torment!
Late last night, the Battle Fortress had two cannons and two machine guns in use, while the other half of the weapons were resting. They had been rotating like this until now, and they could no longer hold on.
The Canglong Army's 1st Battalion didn't suffer a great loss, with 54 dead and 185 wounded.
This was because their weapons were too good and they had the advantage. That was why they could achieve such a good result!
The injured soldiers of the Canglong Army received special treatment from the medical staff of the national army. The injured soldiers of the Canglong Army were the first to be treated. No one was jealous of such preferential treatment.
In this situation, everyone was exhausted. Those who were not injured could not fight anymore. They fought for an entire night with their blood and courage. When the battle ended, they all lay on the ground and fell asleep.
In the suburbs and urban areas of Tai Cang City, soldiers were lying everywhere! It made one's heart ache!
On the Canglong Army's side, the passengers of the multi-purpose infantry vehicles and the Grizzly Bear tanks also got off. They were also exhausted. As soon as they came out, they fell asleep on the ground beside their tanks or armored vehicles.
The citizens of Taicang City ran out. Many of them brought their own blankets and blankets.
One had to know that it was mid-December now. The heavens were helping and it was sunny every day. However, it was still winter after all. If he fell asleep on the ground like this, it was very likely that he would fall ill.
Everyone wanted to sleep, but no one could just lie on the ground!
More and more citizens of Taicang City took out their bedding and came to the campsite of the soldiers. Soon, a long line formed, and the end of the line could not be seen at a glance.
Many soldiers 'eyes were wet. They could feel the concern of the people.
Soldiers should protect their country. As long as you do it, the kind and simple people will support you!
……
Ning Zhenhua, who wanted to have a good night's sleep, couldn't. The commander-in-chief of the 22nd Army, Deng Xihou, and some generals came to visit and discuss the battle situation.
Ning Zhenhua did not want his vehicle to be seen by outsiders. The level of advancement within the battle fortress was much higher than that of this era.
This was the first time Deng Xihou, Wang Mingzhang, and the other generals of the Sichuan Army had seen the legendary Canglong Army Commander-in-Chief. They were shocked by Ning Zhenhua's youth and could also feel the sharp aura from him.
Deng Xihou and the others were secretly sighing. They had always thought that Nanyang was a land of barbarians. Now, they had secretly developed such a powerful force!
Ning Zhenhua's steady and confident aura was at the same time full of vigor. It was rare.
"I finally see you in person, Commander Ning.”Deng Xihou reached out his hand.
