The charm of spy wars lies in the tricks of life

Chapter 285 Battle of Shanghai
Before the Battle of Shanghai.

Shen Liushu's voice was low: "Is everything arranged?"

Wei Xiong stubbed out his cigarette. His body was no longer fat and strong; he had lost weight from 200 jin to 150 jin.

"It's all arranged. The medicine will be transported to Germany through a classmate's connection."

"They changed all the packaging in Germany and then sold it to Japan."

Gou San stepped forward: "Brother Shen, Sister Tang Jia has lost one eye, but she still refuses to leave the battlefield."

Shen Liushu stared at the empty statistics bureau.

Ninety percent of the Bureau of Statistics' secret agents were killed in action.

Only a small number of people survived, and most were seriously injured.

The entire Special Higher Police (STPD) in Shanghai was wiped out.

In this battle of wits, the National Bureau of Statistics emerged victorious, though it could also be described as a lose-lose situation.

Zhou Manli is pregnant with her child and has retreated to Chongqing.

I told her repeatedly that I would go to Taiwan in five years.

Miao Yu and Chu Zhi killed Tu Feiyuan.

Doihara was actually a twin.

The one that survived was incapable.

The Battle of Shanghai.

This day truly happened, just like history.

The most elite German-equipped divisions of the National Revolutionary Army, the 36th Division under Song Xilian, the 87th Division under Wang Jingjiu, and the 88th Division under Sun Yuanliang, were the first to arrive in Shanghai.

The Sichuan Army. [We are the Sichuan Army forever.]

Their equipment was very poor: two pairs of worn-out straw sandals, two single-layered clothes, a bamboo mat, a straw hat, and everyone was carrying a Hanyang rifle from the Qing Dynasty.

There were also many soldiers carrying broadswords and spears.

Weapons are ineffective at killing enemies, and clothing is insufficient to keep out the cold.

Despite having the worst equipment, the generals of various Sichuan armies gathered to discuss the war of resistance against Japan when the nation was in peril.

Fourteen elite divisions were formed, led by Wang Liuxiang.

Relying on straw hats for shelter from the wind and rain and straw sandals for travel, hundreds of thousands of Sichuan soldiers arrived in Shanghai on time.

Many Sichuan children were seeing airplanes and tanks for the first time.

They were not afraid; despite their poor equipment, they were willing to fight to the death.

Even if the entire army is wiped out, we will never retreat.

At its most intense, an entire division was wiped out in a single day!

The Guangxi Army, known as the "Wolf Soldiers." [The Guangxi Wolf Soldiers, renowned throughout the land, united in heart and mind, fought to the death.]

Well-equipped and with formidable combat power!

Sixty thousand elite troops, traveling from Guangxi, a thousand miles away, rushed day and night to the Battle of Shanghai. Enduring wind and rain, traveling on foot, by train, and by ship, they arrived in Shanghai on time.

The Guangxi Wolf Army was more formidable than the Japanese army in overall quality.

However, their weapons and firepower were far inferior to those of the Japanese army.

In just three days, they wiped out all their main forces, with nine out of ten brigade commanders killed, yet not a single one surrendered.

The Yunnan Army. [There were only Yunnan soldiers who died in battle; there were no Yunnan soldiers who surrendered.]

King Longyun of Yunnan led 4 Yunnan troops.

What deserves praise here is that female soldiers from Yunnan also volunteered to join the army.

Starting with 100 female soldiers, they marched through the streets and alleys, eventually reaching 4000 female soldiers.

Most of them are students, and the oldest is only 25 years old.

In the prime of youth, though the fate of this journey is uncertain.

In times of national crisis, we are absolutely united.

Jin-Sui Army

Having just withdrawn from the Marco Polo Bridge Incident and before they could even rest, they rushed to Shanghai.

The Hunan Army. [If China is to perish, the people of Hunan will be the first to die out.]

The Hunan Army mobilized its entire force, comprising 15 divisions.

Everyone was mobilized, without reservation.

Fifteen divisions, more than 15 men, were completely wiped out!
After this battle, there was no more Hunan Army.

The Guangdong Army. [Down with the old Japanese pirates!]

Fifty thousand Guangdong troops fought against ninety thousand Japanese troops.

We vow to fight to the death to hold our ground.

After resisting for 32 days, the entire army was wiped out!
Northwest Army: [Brothers, kill! Kill!]

The Henan Army declared: "The only way to ensure the survival of our race is to fight to the bitter end."

Anhui Army, Northeast Army... various warlords.

All the elite troops of the Nationalist Central Army in the later period.

The entire navy was wiped out.

The air force suffered more than half its losses.

The Battle of Shanghai lasted three months, during which the Chinese army deployed a total of 85 divisions and 75 troops.

An inch of mountains and rivers, an inch of blood.

Ten thousand youths, ten thousand soldiers.
