Lin Fan smiled and said, "This is just the simple joy of eating something delicious.

"Don't worry about getting addicted.

"It's like us eating meat every day these past few days. Who isn't happy when they eat meat?

"But hasn't anyone gotten addicted?"

Wu Xiaobao said in a low voice, "Company Commander! I'm already addicted to eating meat. I crave it if I don't have it for a day."

Li Xian laughed.

Lin Fan patted his shoulder with a smile, "When we drive away the Japanese devils and build our own new motherland,

"I'll cure your meat addiction for you."

At that moment, Lin Fan thought of his life before coming to this era.

Days with meat at every meal were truly blissful!

Comparing it to now, the Special Operations Company's life in this era is already above most people's standards.

They can only guarantee meat every day.

Compared to most ordinary people, who can only eat meat once or twice a year, they are much happier.

Lin Fan didn't expect a simple replenishment of energy with chocolate to lead to the topic of eating meat.

After a full ten minutes of rest!

The soldiers of the entire Special Operations Company felt full of energy.

It was as if they had completely recovered their strength.

They continued to move forward. The farthest position of the 128th Division was behind the position of the First Battalion yesterday.

When Lin Fan and the others approached the position this time, the officers and soldiers of the First Battalion were once again engaged in bayonet fighting with the Japanese devils.

Fortunately, the number of Japanese devils in front of the First Battalion's officers and soldiers was about one company.

The number of people on both sides was not very different.

The mortar carried on Lin Fan's arm was completely useless at this time.

He could only put the barrel down on the spot and have Wu Xiaobao and the others set up an artillery position here.

He led the men and rushed up.

When the officers and soldiers of the First Battalion were fighting inextricably with the Japanese devils, the familiar feeling returned.

Suddenly, there were more soldiers from the Special Operations Company around them.

Immediately, the morale of the entire battalion soared, and the soldiers' strength seemed to increase.

Those Japanese devils, who were originally fighting evenly with the First Battalion, suddenly panicked when they saw that the defending army had reinforcements.

If they weren't afraid at this time, when would they be?

Zhang Jian did not let his men pursue and kill the Japanese devils today.

He knew that the Special Operations Company was taking the risk of being surrounded by the Japanese devils to come and meet his team.

The First Battalion immediately took the wounded and retreated along the road the Special Operations Company had come from.

Battalion Commander Zhang followed Lin Fan's suggestion: send a part of the soldiers to escort the wounded to retreat first.

Select a part of the soldiers who can still fight, and follow the Special Operations Company to take the Second Battalion off the position.

Now the team charging with the Special Operations Company is much larger.

The situation on the Second Battalion's position is not much better than that of the First Battalion.

Battalion Commander Zhang Jingwu of the Second Battalion was wounded, but he was still directing the battle.

They were still maintaining a gun battle with the Japanese devils.

The Japanese devils carefully set up five machine gun positions in front of the Second Battalion's position.

They strictly blocked the position, preventing the officers and soldiers of the Second Battalion from rushing out of the fortifications to engage them in close combat.

Then they began to harvest the soldiers of the Second Battalion from a distance with accurate marksmanship and grenade launchers.

Zhang Jingwu was at a loss on how to deal with these Japanese devils.

The familiar sound of artillery rang out.

When he saw the Japanese devil grenade launcher being blown away, he excitedly slammed the ground.

Preparing to order the soldiers to charge.

At this time, the First Battalion ran up.

Zhang Jingwu looked at Zhang Jian: "Did you lose your position? Do you want me to send someone to help you take it back?"

Zhang Jian punched him: "Are you out of your mind? The division commander asked the Special Operations Company to meet us and retreat."

At this time, all the Japanese devil machine gun positions had been blown up.

The soldiers of the First Battalion, the Second Battalion, and the Special Operations Company joined together.

Now their strength is relatively strong.

This combined team grew stronger and stronger like a snowball.

Later, Lin Fan had to let these soldiers retreat in batches.

It didn't take so many people to meet the front-line team and retreat back.

Those battalion commanders and regimental commanders who were met by the special forces patted their chests: We won't retreat, let's go together! Lin Fan smiled bitterly: "The brotherhood of the brothers is accepted by the special forces.

"But, we now have thousands of people together.

"In case the Japanese devil artillery finds out.

"If the shells fall, the loss will be too great.

"We only need to maintain a force of 300 people here.

"Any more will attract thieves.

"If everyone doesn't leave, the target is too big, which will harm everyone!"

Lin Fan's words made sense.

These regimental commanders and battalion commanders then led the team to retreat.

Gu Jiaqi watched his team retreat one by one.

Excited and didn't know what to say.

When he knew that these teams were all special forces, they started to meet them from the edge of the 128th Division's defense line.

One position, one position, killed the Japanese devils.

When everyone was brought out.

I valued Lin Fan even more in my heart.

He had also heard about the situation of Lin Fan's team these days.

Knowing that there are organized people in this team.

Originally, he was still a little wary of the special forces.

Now he thought of the power of the organization from the combat effectiveness of this team.

Can this power be introduced into my team?

Now he just has such an idea.

I haven't really made up my mind yet.

When Lin Fan led the team from east to west and fought all the way to the position of the 382nd Brigade.

It was already dark.

At this time, the Japanese devils finally retreated on their own.

They don't like night battles, they are afraid that the officers and soldiers of the 128th Division will rush into their team in the dark and chop them up.

On the night of the fourteenth, the entire division of the 128th Division finally broke out of the Japanese encirclement.

Retreated to the second line of defense at the railway station.

Now if they retreat again, they will retreat into Jiaxing City.

Division Commander Gu did not break his promise, he had already ordered his adjutant to enter the city first.

Set up a celebration banquet for the soldiers of the Special Operations Company in the best Baxian Lou in the city.

When the Special Operations Company went to meet the officers and soldiers of the 128th Division in the afternoon, two more people were sacrificed and two were seriously injured.

Now the entire special operations company, a team of 170 people, has only 160 people who can fight.

Seven people were sacrificed, and three wounded soldiers could not follow the team.

Lin Fan once again asked these three wounded soldiers to evacuate Jiaxing City first and go to Hangzhou to wait for him.

It's best to go to Wuhan.

Lin Fan said to his three wounded soldiers: "The Japanese devils are coming fiercely now, we can only slow down the Japanese devils' advance here.

"Killing a part of the Japanese devils will lay some foundation for the victory of the long-term war of resistance in the future.

"The mission of the 128th Division to defend here has been completed.

"They may be ordered to retreat at any time.

"At that time, it will not be easy to leave.

"Leave now and go to Nanjing first.

"Take good care of your injuries and wait for us, we will definitely go to Nanjing."

Originally, Lin Fan wanted them to go to Jiangyin, thinking that the injuries of these three could not be completely healed in ten days or so.

This temporarily changed the rhetoric.

At the same time, he said to Feng Fei, who was the least injured: "When you arrive in Nanjing, take good care of them.

"After our team comes, we will definitely find you.

"Let's set a place to contact!

"The Dagongbao newspaper office in Nanjing.

"After you go, say you are looking for Li Xian.

"Leave your address.

"After we come, we will come directly to find you."

Feng Fei, Du Yuze, and Gao Yuting, the three wounded soldiers, then agreed to transfer to the rear with the wounded soldiers of the 128th Division.

Before they left, the soldiers of the Special Operations Company also carried the stretchers and carried the three of them to the Baxian Lou.

Eat first!

Then leave!

Gu Jiaqi brought all the officers above the camp of the whole division, knowing that the soldiers of the Special Operations Company were coming.

He personally led these officers and stood outside the Baxian Lou to greet them.

This startled Lin Fan!

He repeatedly said that he couldn't afford it! Can't afford it! Gu Jiaqi said with a smile: "These days, the brothers of the Special Operations Company, the roads they have traveled, the battles they have fought, and the Japanese devils they have killed, all the officers and soldiers of our 128th Division have seen it.

"Greeting you here today is just to express a little bit, this afternoon, you disregard life and death.

"Take the initiative to ask for orders and open up the road back.

"Regardless of the tired army, once again take the initiative to send troops.

"Rescuing thousands of officers and soldiers of the 128th Division one by one from the Japanese encirclement.

"Such a life-saving grace, it is nothing for us to represent the whole division and greet you."

Gu Jiaqi's words moved the soldiers of the Special Operations Company very much.

When have these people been valued by the commander like this.

Especially those soldiers whom Lin Fan had taken in the Sihang Warehouse, they had only ever been reprimanded, beaten, and scolded by officers.

I never thought that a major general division commander would personally lead the officers above the camp of the whole division to greet him at the door.

At this time, these soldiers felt that all the hard work these days was worth it.

They all looked at Lin Fan gratefully, without the company commander, there would be no them now.

Lin Fan repeatedly declined and asked Division Commander Gu and those officers to go ahead.

He said that he would not dare to go in first.

In the end, Division Commander Gu Jiaqi took his hand and the two went in together.

Today, this table is the best meal that most of the soldiers of the Special Operations Company have eaten from birth to now.

Many dishes have never been heard of.

These soldiers followed Lin Fan's instructions: "You can eat whatever you want, and you can drink whatever you want!

"But you are not allowed to get drunk.

"As soldiers, we are responsible for our duties 24 hours a day.

"We cannot relax our vigilance for a moment and must be ready to deal with emergencies at any time.

"Therefore, the soldiers of the Special Operations Company are not allowed to get drunk at any time."

Lin Fan's prestige in the Special Operations Company is increasing day by day, and what he says.

The soldiers are doing it as commandments.

This banquet was enjoyed by both the host and the guests.

The Special Operations Company, which returned to its temporary驻地, continued its daily routine.

Learning is like sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat!

Li Xian is clear about this.

Therefore, tonight's literacy class is still open as usual.

After the literacy training, the soldiers all knew that it was time for the company's physical training.

Through these days of training and fighting with the soldiers of the Special Operations Company.

Niu Dongxing and the others truly felt that the physical fitness and strength of these people were slowly increasing.

The whole person's body is also slowly becoming fuller.

Although the amount of training in the Special Operations Company is large, the food is very good.

Especially Niu Dongxing and the others, who had been fighting guerrillas in the mountains for the past few years.

Life is extremely hard.

They are the real enthusiasts of canned meat.

People who can eat anything.

People who can eat have combat effectiveness.

The Special Operations Company has always supported this.

These forty people had one or two more cans of meat every day, and their bodies grew very quickly.

Physical fitness and strength are much better than when they first arrived.

With a good body, it is much faster to run away.

Like today, the special forces ran back and forth on the position, and these people ran the whole distance, and they all had energy left over.

This situation is what Lin Fan wants to see most.

Originally, Lin Fan wanted to select these people who were brought out from the Sihang Warehouse once.

Only select some elites to train.

Now he has changed his mind. Since these soldiers have been following him.

They have always been able to follow in his footsteps, and he really can't say to divert these soldiers.

Since there is no diversion, we can only train these people hard.

Jade is not polished, it cannot become a tool, people are not trained, they cannot become talents!

Therefore, Lin Fan urged all the soldiers of the Special Operations Company to conduct physical training and aiming practice every day.

These soldiers' literacy exercises and ideological education are now all taken over by Li Xian.

The soldiers of the Special Operations Company have also gradually become accustomed to the command of Li Xian, the deputy company commander.

Morning of November 14, 1937:

It has been ten days since the Japanese Tenth Army landed from Hangzhou Bay.

The entire Battle of Songhu ended with the defeat of the National Army.

After many attempts, the Tenth Army finally gave up its efforts to land heavy equipment from Hangzhou Bay.

They transferred all the heavy equipment to the Wusongkou landing, and now the entire Shanghai is occupied by the Japanese army.

These heavy equipment can be sent to various battlefields without hindrance.

Today, the 18th Division, the 114th Division, and the Sato Detachment's armored vehicles and 150mm howitzers have finally been delivered.

The Japanese army, which received these equipments, swept away the frustration of the setbacks in the attack these days.

Early in the morning, they launched an attack on the entire 128th Division guarding the railway station.

Defending the entire Jiaxing City is not only the 128th Division.

There are also brother troops protecting the flanks of the 112th Division.

Today, the Japanese devils' planes came again. These planes did not bomb the positions of the 128th Division first.

They first bombed all the bridges and railways around Jiaxing.

The Japanese army's intentions are now obvious: they want to surround the blocking troops here.

These teams have caused too much damage to the Japanese army. Although the real casualties, Division Commander Ushijima Sadaharu, Army Commander Yanagawa Heisuke, and Commander Matsui Iwane all tacitly did not report the real casualties to the Army General Staff Headquarters.

These people hated the 128th Division to the bone in their hearts. This team caused the Tenth Army's central attack to stagnate.

It was also this team that caused heavy casualties to these three teams.

Now they can free up their hands. The attacks in other directions of the entire Tenth Army are very smooth.

The Shanghai Expeditionary Army has occupied the entire Shanghai and is now constantly pursuing the National Army that retreated from Shanghai.

In this situation, ordinary people in Japan all excitedly took to the streets and spontaneously carried out celebrations.

These people have been eating sugar and swallowing vegetables every day, working overtime, and finally reaped the victory they had been looking forward to.

The passion of the ordinary people inside the empire made the senior generals of the entire Shanghai Expeditionary Army even more excited.

These generals looked at the order issued by the General Staff Headquarters that the team must not cross the Xicheng Line.

Everyone has their own plans in mind.

Although the imperial army won the Battle of Shanghai, this victory disrupted the empire's entire "development" plan in Asia.

The Japanese government and the military department are aware that this battle has not alleviated the domestic economic recession at all.

On the contrary, this battle made the country's economy slide faster towards the abyss of collapse.

These situations, the generals on the front line will not care, they only want military merit, the pleasure brought by occupying land.

Now is the time for these generals to perform.

A full nine tanks rushed towards the position of the 128th Division.

Behind these tanks are the Japanese devil infantry.

The entire 128th Division retreated to the railway station, and the defensive area to the north was much smaller.

Even so, the only two artillery teams could not take care of every position.

The Japanese army's nine tanks advanced along the railway line.

Tanker Ito Yuta has been very anxious these days: he is afraid that he will not be able to participate in the battle this time.

They floated at sea for twenty days and waited in Hangzhou Bay for five days.

During these days, Ito Yuta envied those infantry soldiers more than once. They went ashore to make contributions on the first day.

And these original pride of the army could not land because of the mud on the shore.

Fortunately, five days later, Army Commander Yanagawa Heisuke finally made up his mind: let them, these tanks and heavy artillery, land from the Wusongkou pier.

These tanks and heavy artillery rushed to the battlefield overnight.

The roads are not easy to walk on this land that has just experienced three months of war.

When passing through the edge of the city at the beginning, the roads were still relatively flat, although you could still see the traces of repairs after the roads were bombed.

Overall, it was still relatively flat, and the entire convoy moved relatively smoothly.

After ten kilometers, the road began to become bumpy.

The potholes that appeared on the road from time to time opened their mouths abruptly.

As if to devour something.

In the convoy, there are always those who accidentally slip into it.

At this time, they need these big guys to use tanks to pull out those vehicles.

It took Ito Yuta and the others a full day to get to the battlefield.

Today is Ito Yuta's first battle in this place.

The mud here is soft, and it has been raining lightly for several days.

Even the tracks of the tank are a bit difficult to drive.

However, this little difficulty does not affect Ito Yuta's fighting spirit at all.

He drove his tank and rushed to the front of the entire tank team.

At first, Ito Yuta was a little worried when the iron plate outside the tank was hit by bullets.

The fact proves that these clanging sounds did not affect the advance of the chariot at all.

A few minutes later, the clanging sound of these bullets hitting the iron plate could no longer affect his operation at all.
