July 9, 1940, 8 pm, Houjia Village.

"Report, according to frontline intelligence, the Japanese Kosaka Infantry Squadron has crossed Qijia Mountain and is rushing towards Houjia Village in a rapid march."

"Okay!" Meng Shaoyuan was overjoyed: "Lai Songsheng, you are on the front line, you know it clearly."

"That's right." Lai Songsheng said immediately: "The Kosaka Infantry Squadron was previously assigned to the southern position of Qijia Mountain and was responsible for flank defense. Now, the entire squadron has been transferred to Houjia Village. In other words, the flanks of the Japanese position have been exposed.

A flaw. The Japanese are so eager to annihilate us that they don’t care."

"This is the effect I want!"

Meng Shaoyuan smiled happily: "Damn, we just sent a squadron."

"Director Meng," Lai Song murmured, "One squadron is enough for us. If we really want a brigade, we probably won't be able to hold it for even an hour."

"I can't come." Meng Shaoyuan said with great certainty: "The 194th Division will definitely launch a comprehensive counterattack at night to recapture Qijiashan. Once dawn comes, the Japanese army will attack again, and Qijiashan will change hands repeatedly. In other words, we are actually fighting with the 194th Division

Teachers cooperate with each other and respond to each other!"

"That's what I said." Liang Tong said solemnly: "But none of us are professional soldiers. It would be really embarrassing to face the Japanese army head-on. Director Meng, you should give some words to the brothers to improve their morale."

"Okay." Meng Shaoyuan thought about it in his mind: "Gather all the brothers immediately!"

…

July 9, 1940.

At night, the 194th Division launched a comprehensive counterattack.

The key attack direction was the side previously defended by the Kosaka Infantry Squadron.

At this time, the Japanese defense forces had just mobilized urgently, and the flank doors were wide open!

After an hour of fierce fighting, with the brave fighting of the entire division's officers and soldiers, the sub-hill of Qijia Mountain was back in the hands of the 194th Division.

Ding Renxu, who was commanding at the front line, quickly ordered the troops to take advantage of the victory and attack!

He just received a secret report from the division headquarters:

The military command commanded by Meng Shaoyuan is attracting Japanese firepower in Houjia Village!

…

Houjia Village.

Including the guards, nearly four hundred U.S. military reunification agents were gathered together.

Meng Shaoyuan never liked to give long speeches to others, and he never liked to talk about big principles, but it was different tonight.

Gotta have some inspiring speeches, right?

"brothers!"

Meng Shaoyuan cleared his throat: "I am Meng Shaoyuan, director of the Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai Supervision Office and mayor of Shanghai District!"

There was a sudden murmur in the team.

Meng Shaoyuan, "Pantian Tiger" Meng Shaoyuan actually appeared here in person!

"Brothers!" Meng Shaoyuan silenced everyone: "The Japanese army invaded Ningbo and invaded our territory. Zhenhai is the gateway to Ningbo. If Zhenhai is lost, Ningbo will fall not far away! All the soldiers of the 194th Division of our National Revolutionary Army are on the front line.

Fight bloody battles and fight the Japanese pirates to the death!

We are all spies and do not need to perform front-line combat missions, but now the Japanese pirates are opposite us, what should we do? Let them come in and let Houjia Village be ravaged by the Japanese? Yes, we can do this, and we can do it overnight now

Breakthrough, but what about the future?

The Japanese will rush into Houjia Village, burn down the houses here, kill the elderly and children here, and rape the women here! Then, it will be Ningbo. Most of you are from Ningbo, and your parents will be killed.

Your sisters will be raped. Ningbo will become the next Nanjing!

What flows in the bones of Ningbo people is stubbornness, bloody spirit, and never bowing down in the face of powerful enemies. In order to protect our homeland, we are willing to fight until the last moment! Defending Houjia Village means defending Ningbo and your parents and families! We Ningbo people

You can die, but you will never bow your head in front of the Japanese pirates. The backbone of us Ningbo people will continue to be beaten!"

We Ningbo people are constantly beating our foreheads and backbones!

Meng Shaoyuan raised his voice slightly: "I, Meng Shaoyuan, will fight here with my brothers to the end. If the Japanese rush in, I will fight with them with bayonets! If the Japanese want to occupy Houjia Village, I will fire the grenade even if I die.

Find some back support.

You all keep an eye on me. If I take a step back, any one of you can shoot me directly! Brothers, we can die, but our bodies, even if they are, we have to rush forward!"

"Sir!" a squad leader shouted loudly: "There are no cowards among us Ningbo people. You will lead us to fight against Little Japan. We are willing to follow you. I castrated the father of those red guys in Little Japan!"

"brothers!"

Lai Songsheng also said immediately: "Sir is not from Ningbo, but he is still risking his life for us in Ningbo. What are we afraid of? He is a red guy from Japan. The sir has grenades, and so do we. If the Japanese come in, they will pull grenades and die with them one by one!"

Liang Tong's face was gloomy: "The country is broken, and there are no eggs left intact. We will defend Ningbo to the death!"

"Swear to the death and defend Ningbo!"

This is the answer from nearly 400 military commanders!

"Everyone calls us dog agents. Today, we have four hundred dog agents and four hundred dog lives. Let's all sell them here!"

Meng Shaoyao said slowly: "Kill those who are greedy for life and afraid of death! Kill those who are timid and run away! Kill those who waver in the face of battle!"

"If you are greedy for life and afraid of death, kill! If you are afraid of fighting and running away, kill! If you waver in battle, kill!"

This is the night of July 9, 1940.

That night, the 194th Division of the National Revolutionary Army launched a comprehensive counterattack on the front line!

That night, Meng Shaoyuan, the director of the Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai Supervision Division of the Military Unification Bureau and the mayor of Shanghai District, along with four hundred heroes, were ready to die for their country!

…

"The young master that night was the bravest young master I have ever seen... The shameless scoundrels he used to be were completely insignificant that night. Even if he did a thousand or ten thousand bad things, that

At night, he is also a big hero in my mind...

I'm glad that I am his woman. There are too many women around the boy, but I don't care. I am satisfied if I can stay with such a great hero for one day...Some people always ask me who the young master is, but it doesn't matter.

…”

Yu Yanchu, "My War of Resistance".

…

"I divided everyone into eight teams." Li Zhifeng pointed to the position being fortified and said: "Although these military commanders are bloody and courageous, they are not enough to fight with blood and courage. I ordered Lu Chengtian, Ma Cheng and the others to

Those with combat experience will each command a small team and take turns defending against the Japanese attack!"

"I don't understand fighting, so I leave it all to you." Meng Shaoyuan said solemnly: "Tell me honestly, how long can you last?"

"I don't know." Li Zhifeng smiled bitterly: "Maybe a day, maybe only a few hours. Let's get through tomorrow first."

"Do your best." Meng Shaoyuan seemed to have smelled the strong smell of blood in the air!
