Chapter 279

In the stove on the wall, the warm and warm flames are beating, and the room is as warm as spring. It's still cold outside the stone castle, but the temperature is picking up. The snow has begun to melt and the ends of the road are muddy.

Akkado saw off his wife Mercedes in the morning. The German first lady rushed back to Berlin because of the latest plan of mass production helicopter of blueflower group. Now Anna is the only one with him, so the whole room seems a little lonely.

Listening to the crackle of the fire in the fireplace, akado sat there in silence, holding a telegram from the Far East. It's the content of this telegram that makes akado sit from morning till now.

In this morning's telegram, because Germany has changed its aid strategy and intensity, Japan has also changed its corresponding strategy. At 7:15 this morning, the late battle of Songhu officially started.

The situation in the Far East looked terrible. The Japanese troops met Chiang Kai Shek's most tenacious resistance in Shanghai. Four German equipment divisions launched fierce battles with Japanese troops near Shanghai, causing heavy losses to Japanese troops. Chiang Kai Shek's 20 Messer's 109C fighters smuggled from Italy, which he had worked so hard to be a trouser, made a brilliant record of shooting down 27 Japanese fighters in the morning of that day.

And that weak Far East China, unexpectedly in an hour gave birth to two air combat trumps. Even akkado himself did not expect that under the command of General Zhang Zhizhong, the general of the Kuomintang, the 9th group army of the National Revolutionary Army (NRA), which siket had constantly boasted to akkado in his telegram, was so powerful.

Just two hours ago, at 9 a.m., less than two hours after the start of the war, Chiang Kai Shek's 150 mm caliber Krupp heavy artillery produced by the Arsenal secretly built in the suburb of Wuhan made a remarkable achievement. One shot hit the command post of the Japanese landing forces and reimbursed two major generals of the Japanese army.

Regardless of this kind of record with a little bit of luck, as soon as the war started, the Chinese * team pulled out 50 75mm caliber field guns and 25 150mm heavy guns, which was completely unexpected to the Japanese army. As soon as these Krupp hardcover artillery units appeared, the Japanese army learned what German firepower suppression is.

In addition, the Mauser 98K bolt rifle in the hands of the Chinese infantry is better than the 38th rifle of the Japanese army in comprehensive performance. The markchin machine gun of the Chinese * team is also more practical than the 92 heavy machine gun of Japan. The Czech light machine gun is the creator of casualties for the Japanese army, so in addition to Japan's partial advantages in tanks and ships, The rest of the weaponry seems to be inferior to that of the Chinese garrison.

The Chinese army, which has gained many advantages, has become more and more brave in the war. Long guns and short cannons have caused a lot of casualties to the Japanese army. Judging from the content of sikert's last telegram, the Japanese army can only achieve the result of that year by leaving 100000 people in Shanghai at least this time.

However, akado also knows in his heart that it is impossible for China to win this war. Within a few hours, the strength of the Chinese garrison will be insufficient. Without the support of a complete industrial system, the Chinese armed forces will not be able to withstand a war of attrition, and will eventually collapse and lose Shanghai, as in history.

Far away China's performance this time is remarkable, and it is enough to make itself in a good mood. At least in this time and space, the Chinese people have more confidence to defend their homeland and have higher combat capability. At least in this decisive battle in Shanghai, the overall equipment level of China's main 9th group army was almost the same as that of Germany's similar forces, which also gave the arrogant Japanese army a glimpse of the true level of the European army.

However, akado is still not happy now, because he is holding the last telegram sent by sikert, which is indeed the last telegram. This old general who has been in poor health, akado's old boss, akado's teacher in many details of military knowledge, just half an hour ago, because of chronic fatigue and emotional fluctuations, I closed my eyes forever.

The old man who volunteered to come to China to help the poor and weak Chinese people rejuvenate left. The old man who was praised by President Chiang Kai Shek as the model of international friends and the cornerstone of China's national defense left. Although he died two years later than in history under the careful care of akkado, he still left when the Chinese people needed him most.

A secret German intelligence agency stationed in Nanjing has just sent a telegram. The 9th group army of the Chinese national revolutionary army has just sent a telegram of condolence. Chinese soldiers on the battlefield spontaneously wrapped sackcloth around their waists. The three armed forces howled and marched forward bravely, driving some Japanese landing troops out of the sea.

At the end of the telegram, sikert mentioned something that made people sigh. Although he could not fly the flag at half mast in accordance with the ceremony of a national, the blue sky and white sun flag of Nanjing presidential palace did not rise to the top today, but was one foot short.

Akkado sat so quietly, he knew that the suffering nation had always followed the old saying, "the grace of dripping water, the spring returns.". He knew that sikert, who came off the stage in Germany, had found the most memorable years of his life in China. With the support of akado, the old man has done more and more. So the Chinese people remembered this friend and rewarded him with 40000 warm hearts of gratitude.

Akkado even felt that he could feel that in the military factory in Wuhan, the machine tools used to produce cannons turned faster; The workers worked overtime to load one shell after another into the ammunition box and sent them to the front line relying on the slow but never-ending porters. Akkado even felt that he could feel that on the battlefield of Shanghai, those resolute and silent Chinese people, holding rifles engraved with German in the cold wind, used their flesh and blood to prove that this nation had never fallen. The nation that carries thousands of years of history, the ancient, rigid, stubborn and stubborn nation, the weak, tolerant, self abased and timid nation, they have a strong and straight backbone, the backbone that can not be bent by tanks; They have the hot blood that can't be drained, and they can't be cooled down even if they're suffering from liver and brain damage; They have the kindness from the bottom of their bones. They are so kind that because an old man of sikert went to earth in Nanjing, they forget the unpleasant things in Jiaozhou Bay. Why did you leave like this? Akkado thought of it silently in his heart. He thought of his meeting, his first meeting with him on the train, his night in the national defense forces, and his expressionless looking at him leaving. What got the collar wet? Akado reaches out his hand and touches it, but finds that he can't see clearly. Years is really merciless, how many familiar people left? The stubborn God of foreign war stresman, the wise industrial pride Carl? Benz, the stubborn and strong Marshal Hindenburg... Now, another old man has left the world, silent but not unheard of“ I don't think you're too lonely. " Akado sighed. How grand is the funeral? Will it be full of Chinese customs? Can also have that white sail that evokes soul, familiar square hole paper money? Will someone cry and pray for an old man like you? Anna didn't knock on the door. She came in quietly and stopped behind akado. She knew that her lover was in a bad mood. She knew that the respected old man was the elder that akado cared about“ The Fuehrer Anna did not call her customary address, but solemnly called the post of akado. In a disguised form, she reminded akkado that he is now the head of state, the head of state admired by tens of thousands of German people, and the head of state of Germany who must cheer up“ Ah... "Ah Ka took a long breath, cleaned up his mood, and said softly," what's the matter? "“ General lundstead on the line! A. the group army has captured setang, and the 9th French army has all retreated. " Anna replied“ I see Akado slowly stood up, shook his SS uniform and restored his stiff back: "send him a telegram! Continue to attack as planned... I'll wait for his good news“ Stand at attention A German official gave the order out loud“ Wow Standing at the front of the line, Ryan silently looks at the five crosses made of wooden sticks, still expressionless. These five tombs lie quietly in a field of tombs. These new tombs are all German soldiers who died in the battle of crossing the river. Looking around, there are nearly 100 people. There were soldiers crying around, but Ryan just pursed his lips and looked at the grave in the middle. There was a wreath of straw on the grave, which was hung up by the commander of tank 125“ I can't cry. It doesn't mean I'm not sad. I know you're a good company commander Marcus stood on the edge of Ryan and whispered, "I'll live with your share."“ If you lie here, it means that it's not enough to fight hard, to kill, to be cruel and to have blood. " "I don't know how to tell you. I'll come back here to see you after I fight the French," Ryan said softly“ I know you are all sad, but remember the words in our war song? " The battalion commander stood on the side and looked at his men, with a trace of sadness on his face. Some people took the lead in singing. The voice was solemn and stirring, but it was incomparably firm. Soon everyone sang along, and the familiar melody became more and more magnificent. They are seeing off their comrades in arms with songs, so they are extremely dignified: "if we are abandoned by the goddess of fate, if we can't go back to our hometown from now on, if bullets end our lives, if we are doomed, at least our loyal tanks will give us a metal tomb."“ Ryan The battalion commander took a look at Ryan and yelled, "the first row is under your command until you die or I find a better one."“ Yes, sir Ryan answered in a loud voice, standing at attention“ For the time being, the company commander will be represented by two platoon leaders. " With that, the battalion commander turned to the distance and said, "have a rest for two hours, and then go west along the road."
