Inspired by Wu Ming's enthusiasm, Gong Lina completely put down her airs as a reporter from the Central News Agency, went deep into the middle of the wounded soldiers of the New Second Division, and came to the front line of war, interviewed every detail of ordinary soldiers, discussed the reactions of ordinary people under the current situation of the War of Resistance Against Japan, and the officers and soldiers' proposals to save the country.

According to subsequent interview records, Gong Lina has published series of reports such as "Who is the Cutest People" in the "Central Daily".

Zhejiang is prosperous and every officer and soldier in the New Second Division has a different story, but they all have one thing in common. When the Japanese invaders ravaged the land of China, they bid farewell to their parents, kissed their lovers and children, and walked onto the battlefield with weapons without hesitation. They were an ordinary and respectable group of people.

The report immediately aroused unanimous praise from readers after its release, especially for ordinary people. The officers and soldiers of the New Second Division were like boys next door, familiar and acquainted, which greatly inspired the young people's enthusiasm for joining the army.

In the minds of many young people, the New Second Division is no different from the representative of the Chinese army. For a time, the young people in Shanghai got the first to get the moon, and forced the registration points for the New Second Division to join the army.

The overwhelming public opinion propaganda of the New Second Division also inspired all the troops of the National Army on the battlefield of Songhu.

The 88th Division successfully launched an attack, clearing several Japanese strongholds in the southern section of Wusong Road, and forcing them from west to east towards Daming Road, Broadway Road and Huishan Wharf, which the Japanese army was defending. At the same time, part of the 87th Division occupied Yinxianggang Town, which the Japanese army occupied.

The Luo Yuming Brigade of the New Second Division successively conquered some scattered strongholds near Daming Road, and advanced from north to south to Tangshan Road and Huade Road. After conquering Gongda Spinning Mill, Yang Sixian Brigade and Yin Dizhong Supplement Brigade attacked from north to south along the Yangshupu Road, and achieved great results along the way.

At the same time, Chen Cheng's 15th Army also achieved fruitful results along the Yangtze River.

Since the third Japanese Navy fleet was almost wiped out, the remaining destroyers and two reinforced cruisers were unable to quickly and efficiently support the army's operations. As a result, the landing Japanese army attacked Luodian, the left-wing defense center, for three days without success. Especially under the attack of two defensive weapons, the rocket launcher and the unscrupulous cannon, the third and 11th Divisions of the Japanese army suffered heavy losses.

Taking advantage of the chaos of the Japanese army, the 98th Division successively recovered Wusong, Baoshan County and Lion Forest, the 11th and 36th Divisions and the Shanghai Police Security Corps repelled the Japanese army on the front line of Zhang Huabang and forced the enemy back to the near landing field. The entire Songhu battlefield situation gradually developed in a direction that was beneficial to the Chinese army.

On the heavy cruiser "Aoba" where the Shanghai Expeditionary Force Command is located, no one spoke. In the smoke, the commander of the Shanghai Expeditionary Force, General Matsui Ishione, had a cold face and a pair of sinister eyes stared at the map in front of him.

After a while, Matsui Ishigen coughed heavily, raised his head and looked at the place where he was, gently tapped the table with his fingers, and said slowly:

"Everyone, the battle situation is worrying now. The Marines in the Concession area have almost lost all their losses, and the strong strongholds have fallen one after another. The Third Navy Fleet was almost wiped out on the Huangpu River. The Third Division and the 11th Division landing were even stubbornly blocked by the Chinese. I would like to tell me why this is the case?"

Everyone lowered their heads in shame, wishing they could drill their heads into their crotch.

Matsui Ishigen glanced around with cold eyes, and everyone was trembling when they saw them. Matsui Ishigen let out a heavy breath of turbid air and said coldly:

"Before coming to China, His Majesty the Emperor personally summoned me and asked me about the combat policy of the dispatched troops. I answered. Then, His Majesty gave me an imperial edict, encouraging us to fight bravely..."

When Matsui Ishigen mentioned Emperor Hirohito, everyone raised their heads and looked at Matsui Ishigen, secretly wondering which unlucky general Matsui would choose to take a caesarean section?

Since the Meiji Restoration in Japan, the spirit of Bushido has penetrated into the bones of every soldier. Every time the battle fails, someone is responsible for this. He uses suicide by cesarean section to thank the emperor and the people. Now the Shanghai Expeditionary Army has failed in the initial battle, and the situation is quickly passive. Now someone must be responsible for this unfavorable situation.

The men sitting around the round table were all afraid of Matsui Ishiken's picky eyes.

The battle situation has just begun, and Matsui Ishione must stay to command the war later, so he has to pick a scapegoat among the officers sitting there. At this time, the gap between the navy and the army was revealed suddenly. Most of the generals here were from the army, and they had just arrived in Shanghai. Gradually, everyone's eyes were focused on Colonel Sugiyama, the chief of staff of the Japanese Navy Third Fleet, sitting behind.

Matsui Ishiren also followed this request and turned his gaze to Colonel Sugiyama's face, his cold eyes seemed to be looking at a dead person.

Sugiyama Rokuzo felt nervous. After thinking about it, he couldn't escape anyway. He stood up suddenly, gasped heavily, and said to Matsui Ishien:

"Your Excellency Commander, our Navy Third Fleet suffered a great loss, and the former Commander General Hasegawa was even more unfortunately killed... I, a sinner, have not yet avenged them. Please allow me to leave a useful body. After avenging my robes, I will definitely give birth to my caesarean section to thank His Majesty the Emperor for your request."

Sugiyama Liuzang bowed 90 degrees, and his forehead and nose hit the table directly, and blood immediately flowed, but Sugiyama Liuzang remained motionless and let the blood flow.

Matsui Ishigen sneered, the fat on his face shook, and he said coldly: "Sumama Jun, since the battle of Huangpu River, the Third Fleet has been wiped out. You have lost a total of one armored cruiser, two light cruisers, three destroyers, and eleven gunboats. It is a pity that in this battle, two thousand,782 naval soldiers remained in the Huangpu River in China forever and could never return to Japan."

Matsui Ishigen suppressed his anger and stretched out his index finger to hit the table. His eyes covered the poor Sugiyama Ryuzo like a silk web made by a spider.

Sugiyama's whole body trembled, and Matsui Ishigen's fingers hitting the tabletop were as if hitting his heart. He turned his head and looked at Major General Tadaichi Nagamo, the new commander of the fleet, with help. Who knew that Nagamo looked at his eyes and nose, and did not speak a word, and obviously did not want to participate in this matter, and his heart suddenly felt cold.

Matsui Ishigen's fleshy face was covered with cold frost, and a vicious and vicious sneer was raised at the corner of his mouth, and his voice became even sharper:

"When I was still in Japan, Hasegawa Kun said in a telegram that our Imperial Japanese Imperial Army in the Shanghai Concession area could defend the strong fortress in the first half of the year. Who would have thought that the Chinese army's offensive in the concession was fierce and rapid. Now they have conquered two important fortifications at the Marine Corps Headquarters Building and the Gongda Spinning Mill. Not only did the 5,000 Imperial Japanese soldiers stain the foreign land, but also made the military's tactic of attacking the two wings between the north and the south and the south, and the tactic of the military's wings blooming in the north and south was vain-"

Matsui Ishione was even more imposing and shouted: "As the chief of staff of the Third Fleet, shouldn't you be responsible for this?"

"Hai"

Sugiyama Rokuzo nodded heavily, but still remained motionless. After all, the army and the navy belonged to two separate systems. Even if Matsui Ishione was a general, he could not order Sugiyama Rokuzo, who was the Navy colonel, to be the Navy's colonel, to commit suicide.

"Ahem—"

Natsuki coughed twice and said with great difficulty: "Sumyama, the Chief of Military Order and Lord Lu are in the same phone call, you should apologize to His Majesty the Emperor."

Sugiyama Rokuzo looked at Tadaichi Nakayama in shock, and finally shook his head sadly, as if he was lost, and slowly walked out of the room.

Although other Japanese army and navy generals Sao were extremely sympathetic to Sugiyama, the big stone in his heart finally landed on the ground and the people became much more relaxed.

Matsui Ishigen looked at Sugiyama's back with pity, and no matter where he went to take a caesarean section, he knew clearly that this was unfair to Sugiyama's Liuzang. But this was the war, and the woman's kindness would only drag the entire Shanghai Expeditionary Army into the quagmire.

Matsui Ishione turned around suddenly, including Tadaichi Nakamoto, the new commander of the Third Navy Fleet, all the generals quickly lowered their heads, and did not dare to look at General Matsui's eyes.

Matsui Ishione focused his eyes on the two people in front of him and shouted coldly: "Fujita Into Yamamoto Sotake

"Hai"

"Hai"

The commander of the Third Division, Fujita Shin, and the commander of the 11th Division, Yamamoto Sobu, quickly stood up, lowered his head, looking humble.

Matsui Ishikan looked at the two of them, and saw that their scalp was numb, then he said coldly: "You two immediately ordered the troops to retreat to the stall position and be protected by the powerful naval artillery fire."

"ah?"

The two of them were stunned and raised their heads and looked straight at General Matsui.

Matsui Ishien, who had a gloomy face, sat back in her seat, and her voice became even colder:

"The cabinet has implemented the "Outline for the Implementation of the National Spirit Mobilization". Now the empire has entered a full-scale wartime system. A few days ago, the wartime base camp was officially established. Today, the Tokyo Base Camp issued an instruction that in order to achieve the goal of destroying China in three months, the General Staff Headquarters has decided to quickly transfer the 9th Division, the 13th Division, the 18th Division, the 101st Division and the 114th Division that are being organized to Shanghai."

"At the same time, the Fifth and Sixth Brigades of Field Heavy Artillery, the Third Flying Regiment and the Sixth Division of the North China Front Army, the Shitou Detachment composed of Taiwan's garrison troops will also be transferred to central China, breaking the defense line of the Chinese army in Songhu, forcing the Chinese government to surrender to our great Japanese Empire within three months."

"At the same time, the military command will send the Second Navy Fleet and the First Air Force to join the Songhu battlefield. At that time, we will have eight battleships, eight cruisers and four aircraft carriers. The support firepower on the other side will reach the point where the enemy is terrified. Please continue to work hard."

After listening to Matsui Ishione's introduction, Fujita Jin, Yamamuro Sobu and others were delighted. If so many divisions joined the Shanghai battlefield, the Chinese army would have collapsed at once. By then, the territory of the Great Japanese Empire could cover the entire China.

Matsui Ishigen coughed lightly, and as he looked, the generals of the Army and Navy were filled with joy. Matsui Ishigen was very satisfied with the effect of motivating the soldiers, and then said:

"But now the imperial army in Shanghai is temporarily weak. I have asked the envoy of the Great Japanese Empire to jointly report to powerful countries such as Britain, France, and the United States to ask them to mediate the war between the Empire and China."

Everyone understood what Matsui Ishigen meant. Now they were just a "drag" method. Requesting the mediation of Britain, France, the United States and other countries was just a cover. When the main force of the Japanese army arrived, they would definitely destroy the defense line built by the Chinese army along the coast and on the Yangtze River in one fell swoop.

After almost putting the good news, Matsui Ishigen's face turned cold and his sharp eyes were once again used, especially at Fujita Jin and Yamamoto Souwu, he ordered:

"From tomorrow, the Imperial Army will not fire a shot at the Chinese army. Our Japanese Empire has always been peace-loving. Besides, Japan-China is kind to goodwill. If we want to establish a Great East Asia co-prosperity circle dominated by the empire, we cannot do without the support of the Chinese people."

"Hai"

Fujita Jin, Yamamu Sotake nodded heavily, and his attitude became more respectful.

Matsui Ishione raised an aggressive gaze, turned his gaze to the huge Shanghai map beside the wall, and said in a very cold tone:

"Okay, everyone must repair it carefully next. If you receive the offensive order, you will be defeated as weak as before, so you will be punished like Sugiyama."

Everyone quickly lowered their heads and said in unison. At this time, a shrill scream came from the cabin below, and then the sound of something falling to the ground...
