Luodian, in the entire Battle of Songhu, wrote a rich chapter of his own.

The "Battle of Verdun" in World War I was known as the "meat grinder", and in Luodian, it became a huge flesh mill.

China and Japan have repeatedly fought and fought here.

Some positions, which were in the hands of the Chinese army an hour ago, fell into the hands of the Japanese an hour later, but it did not take half an hour for the Chinese troops, who had lost their positions, to assemble and charge again.

The corpses are piled up like mountains, the blood is flowing like rivers, and the whole town, except for the scorched earth, is cruel, and it is unbearable to see.

Countless Chinese and foreign journalists gathered on the front line, ignoring the rain of bullets flying everywhere, and doing everything possible to report on what was perhaps the most tragic war in the history of warfare.

When Meng Shaoyuan arrived, the main position of Luodian once again fell into the hands of the Japanese.

The 14th Division, which had just arrived on the battlefield, was ordered to launch a counterattack and recapture Luodian.

In a series of attacks, in the face of the Japanese army's almost frantic artillery fire, the brothers of the 14th Division lost their troops and were never able to go further.

"There must be weak points, there must be weak points." Huo Yuzhang, the commander of the 14th Division, was anxious: "What about those agents?" What about the agents? Aren't they omnipotent? Let them scout, to find the weak points of the Japanese! ”

"Divisional commander, they've done their best." It was Guo Rugui, chief of staff of the 14th Division, who spoke: "In the attack launched in the morning, the armed special forces of an entire squadron of the military command in the Shanghai District were almost wiped out. I heard that some of the hidden teams they assigned to various places were exposed and killed by the Japanese army, and some were forced by the Japanese army to take the risk and retreat, leaving only a few of them, and they were still operating in the Japanese-controlled areas, but their survival conditions were becoming more and more difficult. ”

"Report, Meng Shaoyuan, director of the Supervision Office of the Shanghai Special Region of the Military Command, asked to see me."

"Okay, it's just in time, I've heard the name of this person, he is the first daring cadre under Dai Yunong." Guo Rugui was overjoyed when she heard it: "Quick, please Director Meng." ”

As soon as Meng Shaoyuan walked into the headquarters, a shell exploded nearby, and with a "boom", the entire headquarters shook a few times.

"Division Commander Huo, Chief of Staff Guo." As soon as he came in, Meng Shaoyuan got straight to the point: "I heard that the attack is unfavorable, I'll come and see if there is anything I can do to help." ”

"Yes, yes." Guo Rugui was also not polite: "Director Meng, the Japanese artillery fire is very fierce, they have built strong fortifications at several breakthroughs, and I and Division Commander Huo want to find a weak point in the Japanese army's defense and attack it forcibly." However, the previous latent group with frequent activities in the daily control area had no news at once, and we seemed to be blind. ”

Meng Shaoyuan nodded.

The latent group arranged by Dai Li before exerted great energy after the outbreak of the Battle of Songhu.

Where there is war, there is their existence. They risked their lives to observe the Japanese garrison and assembly, and reported the information back in time through the radio.

They, like the eyes of the Chinese command.

Not only that, Dai Li also frequently continued to increase the number of latent groups, and put them on the battlefield one by one.

The sacrifice, again, is enormous.

Some of the latent groups were working well a few hours ago, but after a few hours, they suddenly lost contact.

sacrificed.

All the people were sacrificed.

In many cases, there is only one possibility.

"Director Meng, is there a way?" Huo Yuzhang couldn't wait to ask.

"Yes." Meng Shao didn't even think about it: "How much time do you give me?" ”

"Five hours." Huo Yuzhang thought for a moment: "We are waiting for new additions, and during this period, we will frequently launch small-scale harassment operations to make the Japanese army unable to distract. Five hours later, when reinforcements reach the flanks, we will launch another general assault on Luodian. ”

"Okay, five hours, I'll send you the information."

Meng Shaoyuan didn't have a minute's delay and immediately left the headquarters.

In fact, at this time, he was also like a blind man.

Now it's completely chaotic, and there's no way to know where those military command squads are operating.

The previously established range of activities has all been disrupted.

What to do?

"Shao Yuan!"

"Rongyang?"

Meng Shaoyuan never thought that he would actually see his classmate Chen Rongyang here.

However, where is Chen Rongyang, who appeared in front of him at this moment, still has a little bit of what he was at the beginning?

One arm was wounded, covered in blood, and there was a scar on his face.

"Shao Yuan."

As soon as he saw Meng Shaoyuan, Chen Rongyang cried loudly: "A squadron, a squadron, all gone, all gone." I'm the only one left. ”

"What's going on?"

"In the morning, the 14th Division launched an attack, we were active on the right flank, and we found a sneak attack on the Japanese army, we fought with them at that time, we were all light weapons, we couldn't beat the Japanese at all, and the brothers were all martyred."

Meng Shaoyuan sighed.

Most of the armed special units in the Shanghai area of the military command are equipped with light weapons, and they are formed improvised, and they are not like themselves, they start preparing early in the morning, they are well-armed, and most of the members of the team have received special training.

Even if you bring the team yourself, so what?

In the face of the regular army of the Japanese army, it was very difficult to fight, and even Xiang Shounong was broken.

"I fainted when a shell exploded near us, and when I woke up, I saw the bodies of my brothers all around me."

Meng Shaoyuan looked at him silently, and said after a while: "Rongyang, in the war, some people die generously, and some people will be deserters. ”

"What do you mean?"

"I mean, go to Chief Zhou and turn yourself in. You are a deserter. ”

"Nonsense!" Chen Rongyang's eyes turned red: "Since the beginning of the war, I have always led my brothers to fight at the forefront, how can I be a deserter?" I can't be a deserter! ”

"Rongyang, don't lie to me!" Meng Shaoyuan stared at him: "When I was in Hangzhou, you knew that no one could lie in front of me. ”

Don't lie to me!

When Chen Rongyang said the words "a cannonball, faint", there was an obvious pause, which was a sign of weakness.

When he said, "I see the corpses of the brothers all around," his eyes dodged, and his uninjured hand clutched his pants pocket.

It is a manifestation of shame, guilt, self-blame, and weakness.

Meng Shaoyuan sighed: "Rongyang, think about those brothers who died, listen, I'm going to the Japanese, I hope my brothers are all good men who stand up to the sky." Go and turn yourself in, or the next time you charge, you carry a submachine gun and go as a death squad. You're dead, I'll help you collect your body. But when I come back, you haven't done either of these things, Rongyang, you remember, I will personally enforce the family law! ”

Chen Rongyang looked at Meng Shaoyuan in a daze, and suddenly, he squatted on the ground and cried out with a "wow": "I'm scared, I'm scared." So many people died, died. I ran, I ran. I'm not human, I'm not human! ”

Meng Shaoyuan didn't look at him again.

In war, there are heroes, and there are also cowards.

Chen Rongyang became the latter.

It's a pity.

But what's the solution?

As the war drags on, there will be more cowards.

"Meng Shaoyuan!"

"Zhu Yanni? Why are you here? Hey, you're getting so ugly...... Ouch, what are you kicking me for, you're really getting ugly...... Kick back, so many people, I'm a director anyway! ”

Being able to meet Zhu Yanni here can be regarded as the only happy thing today.

It's just that Zhu Yanni standing in front of her, where is she still the delicate little girl before?

Grizzled, how dirty and dirty the clothes and pants are.

"Your Young Master Meng is poor." Zhu Yanni glared at him fiercely, and then asked in a low voice: "I met Tian Qi yesterday, I heard that Lao Xiang is gone?" ”

"It's gone." Meng Shaoyuan's expression became gloomy: "The sacrifice is very heroic...... By the way, how is the seventh child now? ”

Lao Qi slipped very much, and he stared at the traitor's hands...... Huang Yicai, the owner of Yuantong Cotton Mill, collaborated with the enemy and was wiped out by his whole family...... Gan Baochao, the master of the Kaizitang, led the way for the Japanese army, and the helmsman of the Kaizitang from the master of the hall to the bottom was killed by Lao Qi. ”

"Good guy, you can really do it, but you can kill it well, in extraordinary times, with extraordinary means, you must warn these traitors." Meng Shaoyuan then asked, "What about you?" How's that going for you? ”

"What else? We dispersed, I took a small team, initially operating in Xinzhen, and then heard that the 201st Brigade had launched a counterattack in Lujiazhai, so I rushed there with my people, and I saw with my own eyes the martyrdom of Brigade Commander Cai Bingyan. Zhu Yanni smiled bitterly and said:

"'Forward, forward!' Before Brigadier Cai was martyred, he was still speaking out. Lujiazhai, I folded four brothers, Yuepu, Pujiamiao several places, I also took my brothers to go, one after another seven or eight brothers, the 14th Division is about to launch a counterattack, I will bring twenty-eight brothers. ”

"Wait, wait." Meng Shaoyuan hurriedly interrupted her: "You're not right, your team, no more than ten people in a full fight, right?" This also folded brothers, that also folded brothers, how could you still bring twenty-eight people here? ”

"You're smarter than anyone else, and it's hopeless to be stupid." Zhu Yanni gave him a blank look: "I was there all the way to collect the remnants of other squads, yesterday, there happened to be two full seven-person cadet squads newly reinforced by a military commander who were met by me, and I directly pulled them to supplement me." The leader of the team also argued with me for a few words, and I directly blasted him away, which added fourteen new forces at once, isn't there so many people? ”

"You're robbing it?"

"Didn't you learn this from your Young Master Meng? Anyway, if something happens, you, Young Master Meng, will bear it. ”

"If you really succeed, you should be a robber!" Meng Shaoyuan said, his eyes fell on a reporter who was interviewing there: "Come on, bring that reporter for me." ”

As he spoke, he said to Zhu Yanni: "I'm going to the Japanese to investigate the situation, be careful yourself." ”

"Well, it's still the same sentence, remember to come back alive."
