Chapter 574: Blood Stained on the Minjiang River (1)
The biggest problem for the Japanese in World War II was to make their imagination too strong and others too weak. This was reflected in the army's unauthorized expansion of the war of aggression against China and the navy's sneak attack on Pearl Harbor.
The same is true for the Battle of Nomenhan. The Kwantung Army believed that they could defeat the Soviet Union. As a result, they were beaten up by the Soviet Union and ended up looking for teeth. As a result, they entered a state of advancing south from the debate on advancing south and north...
After being pulled out by Cui Kov's mouth and his teeth were all gone, Japan did not wake up and instead teased the United States, which was stronger than the Soviet Union at that time. Then... and then Japan did not.
With Tu Qianjun's attitude, these two people naturally passed on to the Japanese. As for how furious the Japanese were, they didn't care. If you have the ability, you can find the tiger yourself!
At this time, after a journey along the way, Hirose Shousuke finally came to Changle with his troops! After repairing for a night, they advanced at full speed towards the Minjiang River!
On the banks of the Minjiang River, Lu Xingrong and more than 4,700 people from the 52nd Division were already on guard!
All the residents nearby have been evacuated, and even the Fuzhou City behind them has been evacuated. The only one left is their lonely army guarding this position.
And now, Lu Xingrong was holding a telegram from Nanjing and his face turned pale! He was trembling and couldn't say a word.
But I saw the telegram saying:
After research by members and chairman of the Military Commission, I specially called! The 52nd Division shall not easily conflict with Japan. It is important to know that if I have weak power, I will give it an excuse to start a war.
The matter of power is already a matter of making a decision. When the war begins, there is a risk of destruction of the country! The Fifty-two Division is allowed to retreat after a little battle to show their determination. However, the Japanese side cannot give the excuse. The government will not support it. This matter will be handled by the government, and the local government shall not make a decision without making a decision.
This is a military order and must not be wrong.
Nanjing National Palace, 24th year of the Republic of China.
Looking at the telegram, Lu Xingrong couldn't help but smile! He didn't expect that Nanjing was afraid of the Japanese as such. In fact, this was also the mentality of most people during the Republic of China.
The most representative figure among them is Mr. Hu.
When Japan forced China to accept the Twenty-One Treaty in 1915, a young man named Hu copied the full text of the Twenty-One Treaty in his Diary and praised it:
Our country’s negotiations with Japan this time can be said to know oneself and oneself.
It can be soft and hard, which is unprecedented in the history of diplomacy. Will our country have the hope of enlightenment in diplomacy?
The next day, I said that Qingdao was my return...will there be some remorse?"
Therefore, he said: "My optimism has not been completely eliminated
.” Mr. Hu could actually see "hope" in "Twenty-Eighteen Articles"
, feel "optimistic".
Mr. Hu then published a "Official Letter to the Study Abroad", opposing the patriotic student movement that protested the "Twenty-One" treason treaty, and calling patriotic students "are rational and unreasonable" and "patriotic epilepsy". This is Mr. Hu
Let's get up to maintain the "Twenty-One".
It is worth mentioning that someone's argument is the same as the public opinion created by the Japanese right-wing aggression forces. The new Japanese textbook also says that "Twenty-one articles... require the Japanese to be political, financial and military advisers and purchase large quantities of Japanese-made weapons" are "the clauses of hope" and there is no problem of "forced".
At the same time, it is also said that this is the name of the Chinese themselves "created the 'Twenty-One Requirements'" and that it is the Chinese who create "anti-Japanese public opinion".

"Notify the entire division! Prepare to start the war!!" Lu Xingrong stood up and yelled at the adjutant beside him! Then a gust of wind rushed out of his command center.
At this time, there was already a mess outside! Everyone hurriedly entered the position, and all kinds of light and heavy machine guns and rifles were installed! Then, under the command of the veterans who were supported by the National Defense Forces, these soldiers entered the anti-aircraft artillery hole in an orderly manner!
Lu Xingrong inspected all over the place and found Jiang Zhizhi and said in a deep voice: "Please call back to your commander-in-chief: Just say that I, Lu Xingrong, plan to die in battle on the Minjiang River today! After I die, please treat me, the children of Minjiang River well!"
After saying that, without waiting for Jiang Zhizhi to reply, he took his adjutant to the other position.
Hirose Shousuke did not give Lu Xingrong much preparation time, and the sound of cannons that had just arrived on the shore suddenly rang out!
"Chir~church~church...bang!bang!bang..." The roar of artillery shocked the entire Minjiang River, and the civil fortifications temporarily excavated on the shore were lifted up in large areas!
Although these Minjiang children have experienced many wars, they have never seen such scenes of heavy artillery firing together! They were stunned. Fortunately, the more than a dozen veterans of the National Defense Forces played a role.
They taught these soldiers early on how to avoid being hurt, and the anti-aircraft tunnels excavated also played a huge role! Although the Japanese artillery fire destroyed some of the fortifications, they rarely directly hit the fortifications.
During the shelling, the Japanese army across the river also began to use various requisitioned ships, temporary rafts... and so on to start crossing the river. When the shelling was over, they had almost arrived on the shore!
"Quick!! Get on the position!!" As soon as the shelling ended, the veterans of the National Defense Forces roared and caught the dizzy soldiers of the 52nd Division onto the position!
Various light and heavy weapons were lined up in a row. Although they had not recovered yet, they were used to picking up their weapons and starting to shoot at the Japanese army that landed on the shore!
The Japanese army was not worthy of being outdone. They were scattered and looked for cover to fight back! It has to be said that the Japanese army has received comprehensive training and their shooting accuracy is extremely high!
In a short while, this kind of shooting caused great casualties to the Fifty-second Division!
"TuTuTuTuTu..." At this time, the Japanese light and heavy machine guns had also arrived on the shore! There was a wave of suppression and shooting at the position of the 52nd Division!
The veterans of the National Defense Forces behind had already roughly calculated the position of the Japanese artillery based on the ballistics when the artillery was bombarded. Without hesitation, a mortar with "bang~bang~bang..." was a counterattack!
"Boom! Boom! Boom..." The Japanese artillery positions behind were overturned by the bombardment before they could be transferred! These soldiers who were supported by the National Defense Forces were all old soldiers in war, so there was no need to say that they had covered artillery.
After a fierce bombardment, he adjusted his angle and blew up at the Japanese army on the shore! The blood flowed into a river on the Min River!
