The sky above the Huangpu River is covered with dark clouds, and hundreds of Tang army planes above the clouds roar, giving people a sense of oppression.

Although the Japanese army was ordered not to take the initiative, it does not mean that they were waiting for death to wait for the Tang army to bomb them.

A rapid alarm sounded, and more than 30 Nakajima 91 fighters took off from the airport runway in the Hongkou leased area of ​​the Japanese army, and the Japanese positions also began to prepare for air defense operations.

When facing the **, the Japanese army did not need to prepare for air defense at all, so the Japanese army on the Songhu battlefield was equipped with heavy air defense weapons such as air defense artillery.

However, the Japanese army knew very well how they used aircraft to attack **. Now facing the Tang army's fleet, they put their hearts on their shoulders and were naturally very scared. They all set the machine guns on high places to act as air defense machine guns.

Accompanied by buzzing sounds, when more than 30 Japanese fighter jets approached, the Tang army fighter fleet was the first to dive from above the clouds.

The Raptor heavy carrier-based fighter jets were extremely fast. It was the first time that the Japanese Army Air Force pilots saw such a fast plane. Before they could see the other party clearly, rows of large-caliber shells were fired.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Several Japanese fighter jets were instantly exploded and turned into huge balls of flames, which were particularly conspicuous against the dark dark clouds.

With just one dive, eight Japanese interceptors were knocked down. In the clouds, there were continuous Tang army carrier-based fighter jets rushing down, and more than one hundred were.

They were scrambling to attack the Japanese fighter jets below, fearing that they would snatch them for half a beat to snatch them away.

Only more than twenty Japanese planes were left, and they were immediately scared. They turned around and ran away, and there was no such arrogance as when they first arrived. Faced with the Tang army, the Japanese army's psychological quality was obviously not good.

But the Japanese pilots found it very sad at this moment. The Tang army's fighter jets were too fast. Even if they wanted to run, they could not escape. They could only rely on their personal skills to constantly avoid the opponent's attacks.

The Tang army pilots experienced several air battles and had an understanding of the performance of Japanese fighters and the pilot's skills. Even in one-on-one situations, the Japanese pilots were able to get rid of the locks of Tang army aircraft at the beginning, but soon after they used up their tricks, they would not work.

The 20mm cannon of the Tang army's Raptors battle was very fierce. Once the Japanese wooden fighter was hit, it would be devastating. The key fuel tank exploded immediately. Other parts such as the wings were hit and suddenly broke and lost balance. The shooting on the belly of the aircraft was even more destructive, causing the control system to malfunction and the aircraft fell head-on to the ground.

The Japanese army below felt so heartbroken. More than 30 Japanese fighter jets were wiped out in the blink of an eye. They were almost one-sided slaughter. Turkeys fell in the sky. They were all Japanese planes, and the Tang fighter jets were unscathed.

**The soldiers were very happy to see the Japanese planes with plaster marks being shot down, and there was a burst of cheers. Unfortunately, the orders were not allowed to take the initiative to attack the Japanese army, otherwise they would have taken the opportunity to avenge their previous shame.

At this time, the Tang army bomber group emerged from the clouds, and the Hellfire heavy carrier-based bombers were whistling and diving down with air bombs.

“Yi—Yi—Yi—Yi—”

The sharp whistles made the Japanese army suddenly frightened and raised their guns to shoot, as if they were about to shoot down the Tang army plane.

Since the Japanese army did not have strong air defense firepower, their machine guns and rifles could not do anything to the armor protection of the Tang army fighter jets. Therefore, the Tang army pilots descended very calmly until they saw the Japanese position clearly and specifically picked high-value targets of the Japanese army to launch aviation bombs.

"Bang—bang—bang—bang—bang—"

Five hundred kilograms of aviation bombs exploded, like a bolt from the blue. The earth shook, the soil and rocks splashed, and the dust rose hundreds of meters high.

A Japanese position of hundreds of people was instantly razed to the ground by two aviation bombs. The position that was previously built above the ground has now turned into a huge pit more than two meters deep. The Japanese corpses, weapons and sand and gravel were melted together by high temperature, and rolling scorched smoke came out.

A six-story reinforced concrete building was previously guarded by the Japanese army. Nevertheless, hundreds of people were killed, and they could not bear it. They still could not knock it with cannons. As a result, two air bombs of the Tang army blew it down and buried the Japanese soldiers' lives.

"What kind of bomb is this? How can it be so powerful!"

"That's right, like an earthquake, we can clearly feel the earth under our feet vibrating for several miles away. This power is so terrifying."

"Here's where? We were so close to the Japanese position just now. When the bomb fell, we saw that the group of Japanese soldiers were lifted out dozens of meters away. A good man was torn apart in the blink of an eye, with one arm and one leg on his left, which was bloody. We were hundreds of meters away, and the air waves were blowing over like a sauna. They could lift you up and couldn't stand firmly."

The soldiers from the distance watched everything happening on the Japanese positions. The aviation bombs dropped by the Tang army bombers were extremely powerful and shocked the hearts of every soldier.

They had seen and deeply experienced the Japanese bombers before. They were just 30 kilograms of aviation bombs, which had already caused heavy losses and were intimidated. At this moment, they were surprised to see the great power of the Tang army's aviation bombs that destroyed the world.

"I heard that the Tang army's bombers could carry 500 kilogram-class aviation bombs, which were the ones that sank six super battleships of the Japanese Combined Fleet."

**There are also many well-informed people. When they say this, there is a burst of noise and everyone is moved.

"The Japanese devils are now miserable, so let them taste the bombing."

"The 30 kilogram-class aviation bombs have caused us to suffer heavy losses. Now the Japanese are suffering from a 500 kilogram-class aviation bomb, and they are dead."

Some people also sighed: "All of them are Chinese countries. The Tang Empire has only been established for a few years. Look at their fleets that can destroy the Japanese joint fleet. It is easy for them to fight Japanese planes to attack Japanese planes like I abuse my son. Look at our Republic of China, it is so chaotic. It's so damn people that are so angry."

There was a loud bang, like an magnitude eight earthquake, and everyone was startled. They hurriedly gathered and saw a huge fire ignited in the Japanese Concession in the distance.

It was an ammunition depot of the Japanese army. Unfortunately, it was discovered by the Tang army bomber. As a result, it was bombed violently by the Tang army. The ammunition depot was blown up in a few strokes and triggered a series of death explosions.

Originally, the Japanese army did not have a solid large ammunition depot in the Hongkou Concession in Shanghai. With the outbreak of the January-28th Incident, the two armies of China and Japan fought fiercely, and there was no place for more than 90,000 Japanese weapons and ammunition and hundreds of aircraft to be replenished. However, there was no plane to participate in the battle, nor long-range heavy artillery. So the Japanese army placed the ammunition depot in the open air on a Japanese primary school playground. When the Tang army bombed, it suddenly turned into a hell on earth.

The scene was extremely spectacular. The blazing fire was burning and the rolling smoke swallowed dozens of miles in a radius. The explosion lasted for several minutes, and the fire spread to most of the Japanese concessions. Countless houses lit up fires, causing heavy casualties and injuries to the Japanese army hiding inside, and wailing for a moment.

Although the soldiers hated the little Japanese devils and wanted them to go to hell, they still felt their scalp numb when they heard their screams. It can be seen that they were tragic.

The fire was uncontrollable and the thick smoke also obscured the sight of the Tang army pilots. It made it difficult for them to determine the target for a while, giving the Japanese army a chance to breathe.

However, the Japanese army's nightmare did not end, and the Tang army quickly obtained the highest authorization to carry out indiscriminate bombing of the entire Japanese concession.

There were not many Chinese in the Japanese Concession. As the Battle of Songhu was around, the Japanese Concession had already driven away all the Chinese inside to prevent the leak of intelligence, so the Tang army did not have to worry about accidentally hurting the Chinese comrades.

After the order for indiscriminate bombing was issued, the Tang Army aircraft carrier battle group took off the second wave of bombers again. Since most of the Japanese aviation troops in Shanghai retreated to Taiwan, the only more than 30 Japanese fighters were all wiped out. The Tang Army fighter jets that had seized air superiority reduced their aircraft artillery ammunition and allocated their weight to two external 30 kilograms of aviation bombers. Although they could not compare to the two 500 kilograms of aviation bombs carried by Hellfire carrier-based bombers, they are currently carrying out indiscriminate bombing, and one more bomb will destroy one enemy.

In this case, in accordance with the principle that more people are better, all Raptor carrier-based fighters and FC-1 torpedo reconnaissance aircraft have plugged in various equivalents of aviation bombs and operated with the Hellfire bomber group.

From morning to night, the Tang army dropped 5,000 tons of bombs into the Japanese concession and all areas controlled by the Japanese army. All ground buildings in the entire Japanese concession were razed to the ground. More than 50 reinforced concrete buildings that the Japanese army worked hard in the Japanese concession in Shanghai to invade China were blown up, and even the streets were blown up to the sky.

The Tang army bomber group plowed the entire Japanese concession over and over again like plowing the land, causing heavy casualties and injuries to the Japanese army. In just over a dozen hours, there were only less than 30,000 Japanese troops left, and everyone was injured.

The Japanese ambassador to China urgently issued a notice to the National Government, requesting that the National Government convey Japan's request for peace to the Tang Empire. Although the National Government conveyed it on its behalf, it was basically a sank to the sea, and the Tang Empire did not respond at all.

"Wait a little longer, there will be news soon. Don't be impatient."

A group of pro-Japanese government officials kept disturbing Li Jianyuan, the Consul General of the Tang Empire in Shanghai, but the reply he received could be summarized in just one word, just drag it out.

That's right, Li Jianyuan deliberately dragged on and refused to reply. He had already received Zhang Meng's order. The Tang army could not allow the more than 60,000 elite Japanese troops who fought in Shanghai to return to China, even prisoners of war were not allowed, because the prisoners of war would be released sooner or later, and Zhang Meng wanted to destroy them, because he knew that no matter which country rises between China and Japan, no matter which country rises between Tang and Japan, it would be the other party's nightmare and it would not rise together. In the end, only one Tibetan mastiff can survive. It will eat other Tibetan mastiffs. This is the law, the law of survival that will last forever.

The pro-Japanese officials of the National Government were so disappointed. Even though they knew that Li Jianyuan was deliberately delaying, they did not dare to question him loudly. This was the natural fear of the weak for the strong.

The Tang Empire has relied on its own strength to create a myth of the rise of strong men. It stood up on Japan, the third military power in the world, and no one dared to underestimate it.

The Tang Dynasty refused to respond, and the Japanese government had understood the intention of the Tang army. In order to preserve its strength, the Japanese military command Kato urgently ordered the remaining Japanese troops in Shanghai to withdraw into the public concession overnight.

Whether it is the public concession or the French concession, there are all teams forming a blockade. In the past, the Japanese army was domineering and despising the various teams. At this moment, they were like a dog who was stray. As soon as they arrived at the Public Concession Bridge, they were disarmed by the forces of each team. All countries seized more than 30,000 Japanese disabled troops in accordance with the neutral legislation.

After Li Jianyuan learned about this, he immediately sent a secret telegram to Zhang Meng to request Zhang Mengshengjue.

After Zhang Meng found out, he thought for a while and immediately ordered Li Jianyuan to find out where the Japanese army was detained.

Li Jianyuan immediately gave a note to the consuls of various countries in Shanghai on behalf of the Tang Empire, expressing strong dissatisfaction and solemn protests against the enemies of various countries who hosted the Tang Empire, and demanded that all countries hand over these Japanese troops to the Tang Empire for disposal.

Faced with the strength of the Tang Empire, the consuls of various countries in Shanghai had witnessed the strong combat effectiveness of the Tang army. Even though they knew that the other party made unreasonable requests, they did not dare to offend them head-on. They all said with a kind look on the grounds of neutral legislation that they would be repatriated to Japan after the end of the Tang-Japanese War, and said that all the more than 30,000 Japanese troops were detained.

Li Jianyuan retreated and said that the troops stationed in Shanghai of various countries were only more than 2,000. He could not detain more than 30,000 vicious Japanese soldiers. The Tang Empire asked the Tang army to enter the public concession to assist in the supervision of the Japanese army.

In this regard, the consuls of various countries did not want to have conflicts with the Tang Dynasty on this issue, so they agreed.

That night, a Tang Marine Special Forces squad was escorted by Tang army warships to land on the Bund, and then entered No. 32, Pinglu District, the public concession, where a middle school was already dismissed, and all the Japanese troops were detained within the school wall. There were guards from various ** teams around.

The Tang army joined the guard patrol ranks, but their purpose was to seize control of the school.

It was almost dawn. The Tang army's special forces acted quickly and knocked out or subdued more than 200 guardian soldiers from various countries, but did not hurt them, but retreated them all to a safe area half a mile away. At the same time, the Tang army also adopted a strategy of expelling the residents around the school.

When the common people heard that the Japanese army in the school was about to riot, they came out and burned, killed, looted, and robbed the traitorous women. They were so scared that they all ran away overnight.

At dawn, the Tang Army aircraft carrier battle group took off more than 200 Hellfire heavy carrier-based bombers, some of which continued to fly to the Japanese concession to carry out bombing, while the other part flew to the public concession at a very low altitude.

At this time, the Tang army special forces had already set up huge attack arrows on the streets around the school with red cloth, and all the arrows pointed at the school where the Japanese army was imprisoned.

The pilots of the Tang army could see clearly that in order to prevent other places from being bombed as much as possible, they lowered the altitude and flight speed and steadily threw aviation bombs into the school.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

A series of violent explosions sounded, and more than 100 Hellfire heavy carrier-based bombers threw more than 200 50 kilogram aviation bombs into the school one after another, with an error of no more than 50 meters.

The entire school turned into a sea of ​​fire within a minute and a half, and more than 30,000 Japanese soldiers were all injured and disabled.

Several aviation bombs affected residential areas outside the school. Fortunately, the Tang army had already evacuated the people there and no casualties.

This incident immediately shocked the Public Concession Bureau. Britain, France, the United States and other countries immediately raised strong protests to the Tang Empire, and reported to Li Jianyuan that this was a blatant provocation to various countries and a dangerous act of declaration of war.

Li Jianyuan was prepared and firmly denied that it was intentional, saying that it was just a pilot's accidental bombing. Today, the Tang army bombed the Japanese concession and accidentally bombed the school. Fortunately, there were no casualties in various countries except the Japanese. The Tang Empire stated that it would compensate the school and surrounding residential houses for all losses.

It's just an excuse, but it can give each country a step. Although they knew it was intentional, the Tang Empire had already considered it very comprehensively when taking action, and did not accidentally hurt any residents in the public concession. Since the Tang Empire was willing to compensate, it would be impossible for various countries to get into evil with the Tang Empire for a fait accompli.

"Conspiracy! Intentional! Too shameless! Too inhumane!"

Only the Japanese in the world are still protesting the atrocities of the Tang Empire and accusing the Tang Empire of massacres of unarmed Japanese prisoners. However, as the saying goes, weak countries have no diplomacy, the Japanese military has been defeated, and their international status has plummeted. They are just not yet adapted to this process.

"Exciting! So satisfying!"

“Beautiful job!”

"Blow up those little Japanese devils to death!"

The Chinese people cheered in unison and gave thumbs up for the Tang army's actions. And those pro-Japanese factions did not dare to say anything at this time, because as long as they talked bad things about the Tang Empire, they would soon be strongly protested by the Tang Empire. The senior officials of the National Government did not dare to offend the Tang Empire, so any government officials who spoke bad things about the Tang Empire had to remain silent, otherwise their career would not be guaranteed.

The Battle of Shanghai ended with the Zhongtang coalition forces jointly eliminating more than 80,000 Japanese Navy and Air Force and achieving an unprecedented victory. Although the Tang army only participated in the war in the final stage, it was a decisive force.

Japan abolished the Shanghai Armistice Agreement that was preparing to sign with the National Government. Because it was no longer necessary, 60,000 Japanese troops in Shanghai and tens of thousands of Japanese expatriates in the entire Japanese concession were killed. The huge casualties of more than 100,000 people were a huge blow to Japan.

Although the Japanese no longer signed the Shanghai Armistice Agreement for the sake of face, they also knew that it would be impossible to win the war with the Chinese and Tang dynasties at the same time, so the Japanese government immediately negotiated with the National Government alone. As for the Tang Empire, it was too far away. The Japanese government hated the Tang Empire and could not take the initiative to make peace in order to appease the people.

Even if the Japanese army was severely damaged, the National Government still could not defeat the Japanese Empire. So when Japan proposed to negotiate peace with the National Government alone, Chiang Kai-shek immediately agreed.

In response to this, the Tang Empire did not respond very positively, but only expressed regret on routine matters and did not stop Sino-Japanese peace talks.

For the Tang Empire, Zhang Meng did not intend to negotiate with Japan because he was still staring at Taiwan under Japan's control and other islands in the Pacific. Once he negotiated peace with Japan, it would not be so easy to find excuses in the future.

"Let them negotiate peace. We will continue to fight and show our might. The Japanese devils kneel down and beg for mercy. They are also for the whole world to see. Don't think that the Tang Empire is easy to bully."
