Rebirth of the National Marshal

"Bullshit! Who told you that we still have time to retreat? From now on, pass on my orders. As long as people can stand up, as long as they can shoot, all of them must go to the front line, no matter if they are staff officers from the division headquarters, grooms from the regiment headquarters, or even cooks? All people who can hold a gun must go up, and must die on the position. No one is allowed to retreat a single step without my order. If this position is lost in our hands, all of you must fucking commit suicide. I can't afford to lose face." Lu Jiasheng said this for a reason. Tens of thousands of Chinese troops had already died on this position. Among these troops were the Sichuan Army, the Guangxi Army, and the Central Army, but there was no army that retreated.

Although these armies came up at different times, the final results were the same. They all shed their blood on this battlefield. In order to maintain the integrity of China's territory, they all sacrificed their lives for this country. They are not afraid of death, so why are our lives precious? We can also sacrifice our lives for our country.

"What are you still standing here for? What are you looking at? Go back and gather the troops. If the Japanese devils break through this line of defense, I will shoot you first. We are seven feet tall and strong. We must not let these little devils defeat us. Even if we die, we must die here. So what if we have poor weapons? We have our own flesh and blood. We must not let the little devils take this formation away from us. Let those guys in the Central Army see that when it comes to fighting the devils, we local warlords are no pushovers. The Central Army is not the only one that is good at protecting our country. We are also men of steel." Lu Jiasheng felt very distressed.

This unit is the old unit where he started his career. He has been here for nearly ten years. Every soldier is his favorite. It can be said that without this unit, it would be very difficult for him to continue to gain a foothold in this world. In this era, if you have an army, you are a warlord, but if you don’t have an army, who can recognize you? This has been reflected in many people. Now these people also understand how important it is to preserve the army, but if you preserve the army, who will fight the Japanese devils?

"Commander, don't you know what our brothers are like? They are all veterans that you have brought up. How could they be so afraid of death when fighting the Japanese devils? But look at what we have. The machine guns have no bullets, the rifles have no bullets, and the artillery has no shells. How can we fight the Japanese devils? Even so, it is understandable because our country has no military industry. But our brothers haven't eaten for ten hours. Even if we fight the Japanese devils with bayonets, we have no strength in our bodies. When we die, we will all be starving!"

The regiment commander was already crying while speaking. He felt so sorry for his brothers on this one point. They all came here to fight the Japanese, but the government didn't even let them have enough to eat. This was mainly because those vicious Japanese would bomb during meal times. At that time, the cooks had no way to deliver food to the front line, and their pilots concentrated on strafing the cooks. No one cooked for them, and many people really didn't have enough to eat when they died. How could he not cry when he talked about such a thing?

"Commander, put down the basket. What are you doing? If anything happens to you, who will our brothers in the entire division rely on?" Thinking of those brothers who died without having enough food to eat, Lu Jiasheng felt very sad.

These people followed him out, were their demands excessive? They were risking their lives to defend the country's territorial integrity, but they didn't even have a chance to eat. This was a slap in the face for a military commander, so he walked out of the headquarters and took a basket full of baked cakes from the cook, saying he would send it to his brothers on the front line. He couldn't let them fight the Japanese on an empty stomach.

"Get the hell out of here. I'm going to deliver food to my brothers at the front right now. But let me make it clear. If I deliver the food and you still lose the position this afternoon, I'll shoot you. You can see clearly. Behind us is Shanghai, the most prosperous city in China. If the entire country wants to rise, it must develop its economy. This is our city with the strongest economy. If we let the Japanese devils occupy this place, we will basically have no hope. Our entire country will continue to weaken and become weak. Today it's the Japanese, and tomorrow it may be the French and the British. But no matter which country invades us, we still don't have enough weapons and ammunition." Lu Jiasheng's words also aroused the enthusiasm of the staff officers of the division headquarters. They all dropped their work and picked up the baskets in the cooks' hands. They also wanted to send their blessings to the officers and soldiers at the front and make sure they had enough food.

Unfortunately, their action was ultimately unsuccessful. Just when Lu Jiasheng and the staff of the division headquarters were preparing to send up the fire, the Japanese devils' attack began again. They were determined to take the Luodian area. The attack in the morning was just a small test. In the afternoon, they gathered about 3,000 people, ready to take over the area in one fell swoop.

Because the battle situation changed, the Military and Political Department also made adjustments. A regiment of the Central Army came directly to support Lu Jiasheng with all weapons and equipment. The Military and Political Department was also very clear that if the Luodian area was really lost, it would be crucial to the entire Battle of Shanghai.

The impact will definitely be far-reaching. It will not be so easy to take it back at that time. Now is not the time when the war has just begun. Both sides have tried the test and are now basically engaged in a decisive battle. If we lose this position by accident, it will be a big deal at that time. It is not so easy to pull the teeth out of the hands of the Japanese devils.
