The commander of the Japanese Sixth Division, Gu Shoufu, became even more arrogant after the landing of the Kanayama Guard. He proudly said to his chief of staff, Shimono Kazuho,""The Imperial Army of Japan is invincible. We will occupy Shanghai in a few days. Then, we can take advantage of the victory and move forward. We can occupy the capital of China, Nanjing, and completely crush the fighting spirit of the Chinese people. We can establish the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere with our Great Japan as the center. At that time, we can…haha…"
Ichiho said with a hint of worry,"" Because the war in Shanghai is not over yet. Our Emperor has not given the order to occupy Nanjing…"
Gu Shoufu immediately interrupted," It'll be too late if we wait for the order. We'll have to seize the opportunity ourselves." The Emperor didn't expect the Chinese to be so weak and our army to progress so smoothly. Therefore, I have decided that once the battle in Shanghai is over, I will immediately lead the army north to attack Nanjing!”After saying that, Gu Shoufu revealed a sinister smile, as if everyone in front of him was a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.
Seeing that Gu Shoufu was so determined, Ichihuo Xiaye didn't say anything else and only said," Ha!"
Gu Shoufu ordered the main force to advance north and cut off the retreat of the soldiers and civilians of Shanghai from the back. He also sent a squadron to attack from the flank and attack the Chinese army in Shanghai.
Gu Shoufu's squadron advanced along Caojing Town towards Zhelin Town, burning, killing and looting along the way.
At noon on November 5, 1937, the Japanese army arrived at the front line of Zhelin Town. The Chinese army stationed in Zhelin Town consisted of all the soldiers of the 1st Battalion of the 372nd Regiment of the 186th Brigade of the 62nd Division. The battalion commander was Wang Zilong.
Wang Zilong was tall and fierce in battle. He was often " unable to get out of the line of fire with minor injuries " and was known as the " Iron Man." Originally, Battalion Commander Wang's troops were stationed in Fahua Bridge Town. After receiving the order from the commander of the 62nd Division, Tao Liu, they quickly entered the front line of Zhelin Town to strengthen the fortifications.
Ouyang Feilong had been very excited ever since the satisfying hand-to-hand combat at the Golden Silk Bridge. He wanted to find the next exciting battle to experience. His slogan was,"Where there is a battle, there is me, Ouyang Feilong!" Wherever I can kill the devils, I, Ouyang Feilong, will be there!”
It was said that there was a battle in Zhelin Town. Fei Long immediately set the time-travel watch to: Time: 12 o'clock on November 5, 1937. Location: Shanghai Zhelin Town Forward Position. Fei Long pressed the " Traverse " button, and he immediately appeared at the front line of Zhelin Town.
Battalion Commander Wang Zilong was observing the enemy situation with his binoculars in the trenches. Suddenly, there was a flash of white light in the sky, and a soldier who was about the same size as him appeared on the battlefield. Battalion Commander Wang was bold and shouted,"Who are you?" After Ouyang Feilong steadied himself, he said calmly,""I'm from the 63rd division!" In order to avoid explaining too much and unnecessary misunderstandings, Fei Long could only lie.
"Are you a deserter?" Battalion Commander Wang questioned.
"How can there be a deserter running to the camp?”Fei Long retorted.
Battalion Commander Wang saw Fei Long wearing the uniform of the 63rd Division and asked in confusion,""Isn't your 63rd Division defending the Golden Silk Bridge? Why are you here?"
"The battle is over. We have been fighting the enemy for five to six hours. In the end, because of the heavy casualties, we had to retreat north. The main force of the 63rd Division has already retreated, and I don't want to retreat. I just want to fight, so I want to join you guys to continue fighting.”Ouyang Feilong explained calmly.
"Since that's the case, then come at me!”Battalion Commander Wang could only agree. On the surface, he seemed reluctant, but in his heart, he was secretly happy."We have another valiant general!"
A squadron of the Japanese army's 6th division moved quickly towards Zhelin Town. At 12:30, the Japanese army stopped at a place 2,000 meters away from our position. A Japanese soldier who looked like a squadron leader used binoculars to observe the enemy's situation and found that there was about a battalion of the Chinese army defending here. He ordered the artillery to be fired first, then the infantry to charge, hoping to end the battle in half an hour.
The Japanese artillery was lined up in a row. The artillery officer stood in the middle, directing the artillery to adjust the shooting distance and direction. The commander held the flag high above his head and scanned all the artillery. When he saw that they were ready, he waved it down hard. The artillery placed the shells into the barrels and covered their ears.
Rows of artillery shells streaked across the sky, whistling through the air as they bombarded our camp. Clouds of black smoke and red flames rose into the sky, like giant poisonous mushrooms that rapidly grew and then disappeared without a trace. Although our soldiers were hiding in the trenches, there were still some casualties.
The sound of the cannons finally stopped. Battalion Commander Wang Zilong and Ouyang Feilong pushed aside the thin layer of soil buried in their bodies and poked their heads out. Battalion Commander Wang scolded,"Son of a b * tch, the mortars are quite powerful!"”"Damn it, it's still the same old thing!" Fei Long also cursed.”
Battalion Commander Wang realized that the enemy was about to start charging with infantry, so he immediately ordered the soldiers beside him,""Prepare for battle!"
The enemy quickly advanced to our position while shooting at our position with machine guns and rifles. Several soldiers in our position were unfortunately shot in the head and died, but the other soldiers were fearless and fought back. The Japanese soldiers who were hit also fell one after another.
Battalion Commander Wang Zilong shot at the enemy with his pistol, one shot was accurate, he wanted to hit the eyes of the Japanese, but he would never hit his ears. The ghost who had been shot in the eye dropped his gun, covered his eyes with both hands, and rolled on the ground. He screamed miserably and died soon after. The bullet went in from one ear and out from the other. There was no visible wound. The ghost did not have time to groan before he fell straight down. The ghost who was hit in the head had his helmet pierced through, and his brain splattered all over the ground. He also fell down.
Ouyang Feilong did not want to be left behind. He used his sniper rifle to shoot at the enemy, enjoying the joy of killing the enemy. Every time he killed the enemy, he would feel a surge of excitement.
Battalion Commander Wang jumped out of the trench to kill a few more devils. Unexpectedly, a stray bullet from the enemy shot over and hit Battalion Commander Wang's left arm. Blood immediately gushed out. Battalion Commander Wang felt his left arm go numb. He looked down and saw that it was injured. He quickly retreated to the trench and bandaged it with a cloth. "Battalion Commander, take a rest!" The soldier beside him advised. You command from the trenches, we'll go up and fight!”"With me, Ouyang Feilong, around, the Japanese won't be able to gain any advantage!" Fei Long also advised. Battalion Commander, you should rest for a while!"
"No, I can still fight!" Battalion Commander Wang retorted. After saying that, he quickly entered the battle again.
When the soldiers saw Battalion Commander Wang fighting with injuries, they fought even more bravely. There were more Japanese corpses on the ground, and the Japanese were finally killed.
In the trenches at the front line of Zhelin Town, Battalion Commander Wang told the soldiers to take a quick rest, repair the fortifications, and have some lunch. During lunch, Battalion Commander Wang looked at Fei Long with admiration and said,""Brother, you've worked hard! Your 63rd division is really good at fighting!”Fei Long said modestly," We are all from the Xiang Army. Although the Xiang Army is a bandit and used to bully the common people, they are not inferior to the Japanese when the country is in danger! That's nothing. Your spirit of not being able to get out of the line of fire with minor injuries is even more admirable!”
"Come, brother, have a steamed bun." Battalion Commander Wang said with a smile and handed a steamed bun to Fei Long.
"No need, I've already eaten." Fei Long shook his hand and said calmly.
"You've been fighting the Japanese with us all this time. Do you have time to eat? We didn't see you eat anything!”The soldier beside him said in confusion.
"Actually, I ate it when I was resting at the Golden Silk Bridge!”Fei Long explained honestly.
"What time did you eat?" Battalion Commander Wang asked.
"About twelve." Fei Long explained.
"Weren't we fighting then? Do you have a clone technique?" Battalion Commander Wang looked at Fei Long in surprise.
"Clone technique? Indeed, I don't. To be honest, I'm from the future. I have a special way to travel through time and space. " I can go whenever and wherever I want, as long as I'm willing…" Fei Long said honestly. He might have to lie a hundred times to cover up one lie. That would be too tiring for him, and it was not in line with his personality.
"Unbelievable! I don't believe it!" Battalion Commander Wang sighed.
"Dream on!" Everyone sighed. No one believed Fei Long's words.
Ouyang Feilong turned his back to them and didn't want to say anything else. He sighed in his heart."Telling the truth may not be believed, but sometimes lying will make people believe it. This is the way of the world!”
Battalion Commander Wang didn't think it was necessary to dwell on these details, so he said firmly,""It doesn't matter if Brother Fei Long is from the 63rd Division or from the future. As long as he is with us, he is our brother. Brothers, the enemy is attacking again. Prepare for battle!”Ouyang Feilong and his brothers entered the battle position, ready to welcome the more ferocious attacks of the Japanese.
After the Japanese army rested for a while, they organized a large-scale attack and changed their tactics. Instead of rushing forward, they took it step by step. They rushed for a while, then lay down and shoot for a while, then rushed for a while, then lay down and shoot for a while, alternating. The artillery bombarded our positions at the same time, causing heavy casualties among our soldiers.
Battalion Commander Wang faced a strong enemy and commanded calmly without fear. He ordered the soldiers to aim and shoot again to increase the hit rate and save bullets. At the same time, he aimed at the Japanese in front with angry eyes. With a few gunshots, a few Japanese fell to the ground. Unexpectedly, a ghost shot at Battalion Commander Wang from the side. Battalion Commander Wang felt a heat on his neck as if there was liquid flowing out. He touched the liquid with his left hand and looked at his palm. It was blood. Was he injured? Battalion Commander Wang thought of a countermeasure as he temporarily retreated to the trenches to bandage his wounds.
Ouyang Feilong saw that Battalion Commander Wang was injured and immediately ran over. He tore a piece of cloth from his body and quickly bandaged the Battalion Commander's wound. The bleeding stopped. Fei Long asked with concern,""Battalion Commander Wang, you have two wounds on your body. Take your brothers and retreat first. I'll cover the rear…"
"No, my injuries are nothing. I can still continue fighting. I must beat down the arrogance of the Japanese!”Battalion Commander Wang said firmly.
Battalion Commander Wang Zilong held a pistol in his right hand and continued to lead his brothers in battle. Ouyang Feilong looked at Battalion Commander Wang with admiration. This admiration turned into endless power, making Fei Long feel that he should kill the Japanese more happily. Fei Long raised his sniper rifle and fired a few more shots. A few more Japanese soldiers were killed and sent to the Western Paradise.
The Japanese artillery aimed at our position and continued to bombard it. Thick smoke rose from our position and our soldiers suffered heavy casualties.
Another cannonball was fired and was about to explode next to Battalion Commander Wang when Fei Long shouted,""Battalion Commander Wang!" However, it was too late. With a loud bang, Battalion Commander Wang lay on the ground. His clothes on his abdomen were red and there was a small hole in his clothes. It must have been left by shrapnel through his clothes. Blood was still flowing out.
Battalion Commander Wang was still unconscious. Fei Long ordered,""Bring me the stretcher! You guys carry Battalion Commander Wang down and send him to the hospital for emergency treatment.”He then suggested to the soldiers beside him,"Hold on for a while before retreating. We'll send Battalion Commander Wang to the hospital first!"”
Unfortunately, Battalion Commander Wang had already sacrificed himself on the way to the hospital.
Ouyang Feilong hated the Japanese so much that he could not wait to kill them back. However, he thought about it and said, Killing the Japanese wasn't something that could be done in a day or two. There was no need to rush. The most important thing now was what to do with the brothers who had retreated. He thought for a moment and consoled his remaining brothers,"Everyone is sad about Battalion Commander Wang's sacrifice. They all want to go back and take revenge, but it's unrealistic. The most important thing now is to find the main force of the 62nd Division and let everyone return to the team so that they can better kill the Japanese, right?”Everyone thought for a moment and said,"We'll listen to you!”
