Rebirth of the National Marshal

Chapter 3: Defending Shanghai (3)

Rationally speaking, Mao Yuanshan was unwilling to do such a thing, as there was basically no benefit. However, seeing the defeated emotions on the faces of the people around him, Mao Yuanshan stood at attention and said loudly, "I guarantee to complete the mission."

"Everyone, get ready in ten minutes. In ten minutes, the entire army will march into Shanghai." The order was given.

Although the 101st Infantry Division was only the size of a division, it had three infantry regiments, an armored regiment, an aviation regiment, a heavy artillery regiment, a special service battalion, a pontoon battalion, a supply battalion, a field hospital and other units, totaling more than people, which was considered a huge organization in the entire combat sequence of the National Army.

When the advance battalion of the 101st Infantry Division walked out of the station, the whole city of Shanghai basically knew the news. Lieutenant General Zhang Zhi felt a little regretful at this time. The Japanese air raid was bound to come, but the thing he was worried about did not happen when the advance battalion of more than a thousand people walked out. It was all because all 109 fighter jets of the aviation regiment had been dispatched. Mao Yuanshan's order to them was not to drop a single bomb, otherwise they would all be subject to military law.

The entry ceremony of the 101st Infantry Division soon received a high-level reception. People from all walks of life in Shanghai spontaneously took to the streets, waving the blue sky and white sun flags in their hands and shouting loudly to defend Shanghai and defend China. At the beginning, only a few people were shouting, but slowly, as if it was contagious, it spread to everyone on the road.

"Wake up, everyone. Our company is the first one out. Even if there are mines ahead, you have to step over them. If anyone loses face for our division commander, don't blame my bullets for not recognizing you. Duty soldiers, sing a song to boost morale." Song Jingshan said to his soldiers while standing on the roadside. These soldiers carrying Garand semi-automatic rifles and Suomi submachine guns also straightened their backs. This is the honor of the 101st Infantry Division.

"Sing as we chop the heads of the Japanese with our big knives" the soldier on duty tried his best to shout out at the top of his voice. Yes, he just shouted it out. Singing was no longer allowed at this time.

The big knife chopped at the heads of the devils!

The big knife chopped at the heads of the devils.

My fellow armed brothers,

The day of the war has come.

The day of the war of resistance has arrived.

There are volunteers from the Northeast ahead.

Behind them are the people of the whole country.

Our Chinese army marches forward bravely!

At the beginning, there were some young students on the roadside singing along, and later it evolved into the whole city of Shanghai singing this song. Lieutenant General Zhang Zhi also had tears in his eyes at this moment. The 101st Infantry Division was indeed different and was so good at boosting morale. It seemed that it was right to transfer them here this time.

When the tank regiment and heavy artillery regiment drove out of the station, a formation of 109 fighters and Stuka bombers in the sky also flew over the 101st Infantry Division. This made the atmosphere on the scene reach a climax. Even some bigwigs in Shanghai were moved. Is this really our Chinese army?

"Down with Japanese imperialism"

"Defend the Great Shanghai City"

"Long Live the 101st Division"

Various slogans filled the entire street. At this moment, people seemed to see hope, the hope of victory, and this hope came from the 101st Infantry Division.

Mao Yuanshan was also infected by everything at the scene. At this moment, he was shouting these slogans as loudly as a child.

He thought that he had been in this world for nearly two years and he was already a division commander in the National Army. He wanted to cry when he thought of what happened just now. At that time, he had nothing and his physical fitness was not good. If he was not careful, he might really be killed.

Mao Yuanshan's thoughts began to go back to the time when he first arrived.
