Chapter 249 "The Battlefield of Death"

In Shanghai, the 111th Division's last counterattack has been completed.

No, perhaps more accurately, it was the Ninth Army, a counterattack from the Central War Zone.

All the 111th Division, all the 87th Division, 88th Division, each of the Tax Police Corps, two divisions of the Gui Army, two divisions of the Yunnan Army, tanks, cannons, and all the forces that can be concentrated were pulled up.

Counterattack, counterattack on the road to desperate situation.

In order to defend the dignity of Shanghai and for the dignity of Chinese soldiers.

Forty-seven thousand soldiers, and the total 47,000 soldiers.

When the Counterattack ends, how many of these people will survive? No one knows.

Looking at these brave soldiers, Zheng Yong suddenly had the desire to charge together.

But he quickly suppressed his irrational thoughts. Now he is a commander who commands a huge army, not a warrior who charges.

The only thing he could do now was to raise his hand and slowly salute these soldiers who were about to set out.

This counterattack is not a battle of intent, but to regain the big field and to gain some time for the defense of Shanghai...

On November 24, the largest counterattack in the Central War Zone began.

Nearly 50,000 soldiers rushed towards the enemy in the field. Cannons roared, the earth shook; tanks rumbled, shocked Shanghai.

It was drizzling in the world, washing every corner of the battlefield.

The rain and blood mixed together and formed a river to flow slowly.

A soldier tripped over the corpse and he quickly stood up. But then a string of machine gun bullets came over and all fell into his body. He shook it, and then he turned into a corpse.

A health soldier was surrounded by soldiers from several island countries, and his face showed a look of horror.

The wounded man who was treated by him just now did not hesitate at all, and raised his gun and killed the health soldier.

The health soldier looked confused when he died. He didn't understand why his companions beat him to death.

It is better to die than be a prisoner, this is the pride of a Chinese soldier.

Then, the wounded resolutely pulled the grenade.

Thousands of soldiers strangled together, the bayonets were lifted up and fell again and again, and the blood splashed everywhere seemed so strange in the heavier and heavier rain.

Perhaps God was also moved by the Chinese soldiers, and the drizzle turned into heavy rain, which offset the island army's air and artillery advantages to the greatest extent.

Rows of soldiers fell down, and rows of soldiers rushed up.

There is no tactical command anymore, it is just a pile of lives.

This is the most terrifying massacre for soldiers on both sides.

The casualties were getting bigger and bigger. Some troops were killed in the entire company. A complete regiment was suddenly discovered that the entire regiment had been exhausted from the regiment commander to the soldiers below.

The big market has become a meat grinder from now on...

This huge meat grinder ruthlessly swallows one life after another; this huge meat grinder will become an ever-lingering nightmare in the lives of all surviving soldiers.

"Disaster, this is the biggest disaster I have ever seen.

The infantry regulations and the charge regulations have disappeared here, and it seems that all the soldiers have forgotten their previous training.

My whole body is already numb and I don't want to correct them, which means nothing to me.

Maybe you think I am not a qualified military adviser, but I can tell you seriously that when you come to this battlefield and this death trap, I swear that you will definitely do the same thing as me.

Tragic, unprecedented tragic battle.

The offensive side became the defensive side, and the defensive side became the offensive side. But the only thing that has not changed is that the power of both sides is consumed to the greatest extent here.

I am now beginning to understand why the Chinese government chose the battlefield in Shanghai.

The island countries have no way to stop. They have fallen into a trap that they know it is a trap, but have to jump in with their eyes closed.

Although the island country army is gradually taking the initiative on the battlefield in Shanghai, I have already vaguely smelled the fate of the island country eventually facing failure.

But what makes me feel most distressed are the troops I trained with, the officers and soldiers I trained with.

111th Division, I spent a long time with them, and this army has never failed in their history.

Completely German-style equipment, complete German-style training, individual attacks, team assaults, and in all previous battles, they were enforcing these regulations the most strictly.

But now looking at these children, they are charging forward desperately like some recruits who have just joined the army and have never received any training.

A child's legs were broken, but he was still crawling desperately in the rain. His body was filled with mud and blood. His two arms supported all the strength of his body, and they were already grinding into blood.

Suddenly, he stopped moving, his head fell into the mud, and the child died.

In order to regain the field, General Zheng has used all the power he can use. Even the supervising team and his guards have been put into the battlefield.

I have never seen General Zheng be so anxious. He kept walking around the office, constantly grabbing the phone and asking about the situation ahead.

I heard him roaring loudly on the phone, his eyes filled with blood, and his vicious look made me scared.

In the afternoon, a brigade commander was taken to the headquarters. The tragic and bloody battle destroyed the brigade commander's determination. He left his troops and ran away alone.

Unfortunately, he was caught by the law enforcement team.

General Zheng didn't say anything, and took out his gun and shot the brigade commander himself.

Those who retreat, kill; those who escape, kill. This army is the iron military rules, and no one can violate it.

Maybe you think such rules are cruel, but on such a battlefield, this is the best choice.

The rain that started from the beginning of the attack gradually turned into heavy rain.

Although this increases the difficulty of the attack, for the Chinese army, which is at a disadvantage in firepower, it is the weather they are most happy to see.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, a large number of Chinese troops had already stubbornly penetrated into the island army's positions, and victory was getting closer and closer to them...

Bloom, 24, 1937, Shanghai.”

The great casualties have made people numb to numbers. Here, in Shanghai, all victories are piled up with human lives.

From the moment one of the divisions of the Gui Army set foot on the battlefield to the present, the entire division has fought more than a thousand people.

The division commander died for his country, the brigade commander died for his country, and the regiment commander died for his country... In this division, in the end, a battalion deputy became the highest commander of the division.

When the troops had to withdraw due to the great casualties, the battalion deputy sat there blankly without a sound. Suddenly, he pulled out his gun, stuffed the gun into his mouth, and then pulled the trigger without any hesitation.

He managed to save his life on the battlefield, but when the battle ended, his whole body completely collapsed...

At 7 o'clock on the night of the 24th, the Chinese army seized the left-wing position in the Dachang and continued to attack the island army while the night was in progress.

A military flag looked so dazzling under the fire.

On this military flag are two crossed bayonets.

Military flag of the 111th Division of the National Revolutionary Army!

326,327,328 Brigade, Independent Brigade.

Four brigades with more than half of their injuries were the first to rush into the core position of the Island Army and fight with the Defense Island Army.

The losses have never been so great. The 111th Division rarely fought so hard. If such a battle occurs again, the entire division will be empty.

But now no one cares, even if all the teachers are killed, no one cares anymore.

At 11:00, the island army began to be defeated.

At 1:00 a.m. on the 25th, the big court returned to the hands of the Chinese army.

The Chinese call the "death battlefield" in the battle, while the islanders are called the "bloody mill". But no matter what the name is, this tragic battle has been recorded by everyone.

In this service, the Chinese army was killed and injured by more than 6,000 people, and the island army was killed and injured by more than 3,000 people. This statistics do not include those captured or missing persons.

The recapture of the big field gave Shanghai's Chinese army a chance to breathe.

The Battle of Shanghai, which began on August 14, 1937, dragged the Island Army into a bloody battlefield. While the Chinese army suffered heavy losses, it forced the Island Army to throw the forces of one division after another into Shanghai.

In more than three months, the Chinese army made Wusong, the big field, and the entire Shanghai turned into a huge meat grinder, swallowing the island army bit by bit and consuming the island country's power bit by bit.
