"Boom! Boom!! Boom..." On the banks of the Minjiang River, artillery fire continued! Lu Xingrong and the soldiers of the 52nd Division under his command were quietly waiting for the end of the artillery bombardment in the anti-aircraft artillery hole.

Since he got on the position, Lu Xingrong can no longer remember how many times he "enjoyed" such a small quiet time. Only when he was bombarded did he not have to fight with the Japanese army.

Once the shelling is over, it is the time when the Japanese army begins to attack.

After several days of hard work, the Japanese army had occupied the positions of the mudflats and were constantly using various ships that had not been damaged to send troops here.

As for now, a large offensive position has been established on the tidal flats! Shintaro Wakayama also landed in Zhanggang with his own division, and a brigade of the vanguard also arrived at the office.

The attack of the Fifth Brigade is taking over. In these rounds of attacks, the Fifth Brigade suffered little losses as the division commander followed the opinions of the division commander. As long as the attack difficulties are encountered, the troops will retreat and fight back and eliminate them with artillery fire.

With its powerful firepower, the 52nd Division suffered heavy losses! Many anti-aircraft holes could not withstand the repeated artillery attacks and collapsed! After all, these fortifications were temporary construction, and it was not possible to imagine the degree of solidity of permanent fortifications.

During several bombardment, the insolent nature of the fortifications gradually emerged. Some of the fortifications collapsed under the bombardment of heavy artillery by the Japanese army.

After all, the 52nd Division is not a superb unit like the National Defense Force that builds fortifications. They have just begun to contact such large-scale fortifications and are naturally inferior to the National Defense Forces when they are built.

This gap has caused fatal damage. At least now the Fifty-two Division has paid more than 300 casualties for this, and these casualties could have been avoided. But the Fifty-two Division had no choice.

The shelling ended more than half an hour later, and the soldiers from Lu Xingrong to the lower part rushed to the position! Light and heavy machine guns, grenade launchers, etc. were all set up.

The Fifty-Two Division was not without gains in these battles. They seized at least more than ten light and heavy machine guns and five grenade launchers. These were all arranged in various positions to defend the Japanese offensive.

There is no need to worry about the use of grenade launchers. The veterans of the National Defense Forces are not unfamiliar with this weapon. They taught these soldiers of the 52nd Division to use this weapon in just a few seconds.

"Terminal Commander!! Fuzhou's urgent telegram! The Japanese cavalry had crossed the river and rushed to Fuzhou city..." When the Japanese army and the 52nd Division were fighting fiercely, Lu Xingrong's adjutant ran to Lu Xingrong with a pale face and said loudly!

When Lu Xingrong heard this, his face immediately became darker. From the beginning, he knew that his 52nd Division could not stop the Japanese attack, but he still wanted to delay the time when the Japanese army entered Fujian.

Unfortunately, they can't even do this now. The Japanese army bypassed their defense line and raided Fuzhou directly with cavalry! How could Fuzhou, which had almost no defensive power, resist the Japanese attack?!

"Tell me brothers! It's time for us to fight to the death..." Lu Xingrong was silent for a while and said in a deep voice to the remaining battalion commanders beside him.

These battalion commanders nodded and went to convey the order with a gloomy face. They were all men from the Minjiang River! Looking at the backs of these soldiers under their command, Lu Xingrong said in his heart: Then, let our blood be scattered on this Minjiang River...

A few hours later, Yang Ziren and others who were on the way to northern Shaanxi received a telegram. This was a telegram sent by Tu Qianjun, the commander-in-chief of the National Defense Forces, who hoped that the red troops who remained in Fujian could go to rescue.

After receiving this telegram, Yang Ziren felt complicated. To be honest, Lu Xingrong was once the vanguard of encirclement and suppression of red! The two sides fought bloody battles many times.

This telegram also caused a large-scale discussion within Red. Several veterans excitedly announced that they would not agree to let their comrades save the warlords who had participated in the massacre and encirclement!

"Comrades, I can understand everyone's mood..." After taking a sip of cigarettes, Yang Ziren looked at the red elders at the meeting and said in a deep voice: "But this is a national war!"

"Do you know what the tiger is doing now?! He concentrated a legion of troops to attack North Korea!" As he said that, Yang Ziren took out a newspaper and handed it to everyone present.

Everyone took the newspaper in shock and looked at the report describing the National Defense Forces' combat in North Korea. This newspaper was already the Fengtian Daily several days ago. It was a war reporter who recorded the combat experiences, losses, results, etc. of the National Defense Forces.

I saw that the National Defense Force lost more than 100 pilots and tens of thousands of soldiers because of the attack on North Korea! Everyone was silent. Anyone could see clearly that the National Defense Force could not compete with the entire Japan alone!

But he still chose to attack. His goal was to try his best to attract the attention of the Japanese army and then support Lu Xingrong's 52nd Division who was fighting in the Minjiang River!

In fact, according to common sense, he didn't have to do this at all when he slaughtered tigers. After the Minjiang River was defeated, the Nanjing State Government chose to use negotiations to resolve his local army. Why should he use troops?!

In this era, soldiers are the lives of warlords! Without soldiers, they are a dog that is lost! Taking precious warriors to relieve stress for people who are not known thousands of miles away is almost unheard of in the Republic of China!

But the tiger did the same.

"Do you know?! The most elite troops under the command of the tiger are assisting our troops in the Minjiang River to resist the Japanese invasion..." Yang Ziren smoked, raised his head and looked at everyone in a deep voice.

"According to our comrade's observation, this force is definitely the most elite force in the National Defense Forces! Their equipment, training, and even combat capabilities are completely beyond our imagination! And their equipment, even Comrade Huang Xiaoling has never seen it in the National Defense Forces!"

"In actual combat, our comrades determined something through observation: even if they only have five people, they can even restrain a squadron of the Japanese army with their combat experience and weapons!" Yang Ziren threw the cigarette butt to the ground and crushed it with his feet.

"It's such an elite army that can be sent out without thinking about slaughtering tigers!"

After hearing Yang Ziren's words, everyone couldn't help but fall into silence. The words and deeds were consistent, and very few people did it. If someone had thought that the words said by this tiger were just for face, then now they had to admit that this tiger really did the words and deeds!

"The biggest possibility of fighting against the Japanese is to die in battle! Some 'smart people' will think that we are dying stupid, but if everyone is unwilling to die in battle and only thinks about their own smart people, then our country will be over. If the country is over, will there still be a family..."

Yang Ziren looked at everyone and said in a deep voice: "I have communicated with this tiger and asked him what he thought. This is what he said to me at that time..."

Yang Ziren didn't know that this was not the original work of Tu Menghu. This sentence came from a veteran who had participated in the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea. This veteran was the old man who led the family of Tu Menghu.

An old man with six shrapnel on his body and more than fifty scars on his body.

"I never regretted fighting that battle! I'm very proud!" After the old man poured himself a bowl of Fenjiu, he said to the young and green tiger at that time: "I caught prisoners from 14 countries and came to the sports meeting! Who can do this?! We did it!"

"With the attacks of 17 countries alone! Who did it?! We did it!" The old man laughed and pulled open his collar! His old face was full of pride!

"Baby! Fight well! Don't humiliate this military uniform! Don't smear that military flag! What we fought in one battle was the face that we Chinese had lost for hundreds of years! From then on, no one dared to bare our teeth at us in the next ten years!"

As he said that, the old man smiled hurriedly: "A group of three came to cause trouble, and almost even the capital was knocked out by us! Then, for decades of shame, they didn't dare to bare their teeth with us. There were also Americans, when they beat Vietnamese cubs, the Prime Minister said, "Don't cross the 17th line." They didn't even dare to come to the border! Haha..."

Back to this era, everyone in the conference room was smoking cigarettes and bowing their heads without saying a word. Psychologically, they were very reluctant to rescue Lu Xingrong, who had fought with them for the death.

But what Yang Ziren said makes sense, and what the tiger said makes sense! The national war! The country is gone, how good will the family be?!

"Let me tell me what I think..." After a long time, Wu Hao said in a deep voice to everyone: "I think Comrade Ziren's words are based on the truth! We are established in red, what are we striving for?! Isn't it just for a new country?!"

"Yes! Lu Xingrong fought with us, but now he is fighting the Japanese for the sake of the country!" As he said that, Wu Hao sighed: "According to the news from the National Defense Forces, Lu Xingrong's 52nd Division, which has only 4,700 people, is less than 2,000 people left..."

Listening to Wu Hao's words, the rest of the people said nothing. After Yang Ziren lit a cigarette for himself, he said to everyone: "Let's do it! We all raise our hands to vote, the minority obeys the majority..."

"Please raise your hand if you agree to let the comrades in Minjiang support Lu Xingrong!" As he said that, Yang Ziren slowly raised his hand. Wu Hao also raised his hand, and several participants were silent for a while and slowly raised their hands.

Yang Ziren, who originally thought there would be opposition, looked at Zhang Lie, who had just opposed it, differently. You should know that Zhang Lie was the one who responded the most intensely to this matter just now! Yang Ziren did not expect that he would raise his hand to agree.

"Comrade Ziren, I just thought about it for a long time. What you said to Lao Wu makes a very reasonable point. No matter how much Lu Xingrong fights with us, he will have a private hatred with different ideas. But when Lu Xingrong fights with the Japanese, it is a national war! National war is greater than private hatred! Even if there is more hatred with Lu Xingrong, we should help him defend his country and fight against the Japanese devils!"
