Pudong.

boom!

A huge flame shot up into the sky, and the light from the flame was imprinted on the glass in the attic, making Wen Ren, who was leaning against the window, have light in his eyes.

"The Tiger Brigade is here..." Wen Ren's face was filled with anticipation and worry. He had experienced everything before, and it was a very distant memory.

But this time it is the attacking side that is trying to reclaim their homeland.

The memory of the Pudong Battle lingered in his mind.

Blood flowed for three months, every inch of land was stained with blood.

On that day, the ground of the famous capital was flowing with the blood of warriors from all corners of the world who shared the same roots.

Now, he finally waited for the Tiger Guards' southern expedition.

Zhu Rihe, who was standing by, was holding a telescope and watching the large number of Huben troops entering the city.

"Damn it, the Japs are starting to build positions on the streets." Zhu Rihe knew at a glance that the Japs had not expected the Tiger Guards to suddenly appear in Pudong.

However, most of the temporary positions built by the Japanese were on the streets of residential areas. The meaning was obvious. In many places, there were only sandbags and heavy machine guns set up.

This kind of position is often the most difficult point to attack in street fighting.

"The Tiger Guards' southern expedition is probably intended to push forward from the coast..." Wen Ren leaned against the window, panting.

His heart was beating faster.

As soon as the words fell, a burst of killing sounds rang out on the street in the distance.

"kill!"

As the sounds of killing were heard, the two men became nervous and their eyes couldn't help but look towards the battlefield in the distance.

The Tiger Guards are going to force their way into the Japanese positions?

During the Battle of Pudong, the two had seen a street with thousands of mutilated bodies lying there, fighting only for the control of an alley entrance.

The street fighting at that time was called a meat grinder because heavy machine guns in the streets and alleys directly beat people into minced meat, and the shock waves of the explosions caused the bodies to be smashed into pieces by the rubble.

Now, the Tiger Army...

boom!

Just as the two were worried, when the Tiger Guards were charging, a shell landed accurately on the position built on the street.

A burst of fire instantly raged across the entire street, and fragments of heavy machine guns flew everywhere. The Japanese machine gunner on the position instantly turned into a bloody mist, while the surrounding Japanese soldiers were blown high into the air by the second explosion of ammunition.

Some bullet streams scattered like fireworks, and the Japanese soldiers behind the position were hit by stray bullets before they could even fire a shot. They fell to the ground and wailed in pain.

The fight was originally unintentional, and the Tiger Guards sneaked into the Su area and marched quickly.

The charging Tiger and Leopard Army did not stop at all. They rushed into the position under the remaining fire and fired two more shots at the Japanese soldiers who were still wailing.

The people in front were charging, while the soldiers behind were occupying the high ground, taking inventory of the surrounding streets and houses, and clearing out the secret sentries for the subsequent troops to advance.

The entire battle was smooth, fast, efficient, and without any delay.

The street fighting was a river of blood, and most of the blood left on the streets was the blood of the Japanese devils.

"This is...Hu Ben?"

Zhu Rihe opened his mouth and looked surprised.

In newspapers and telegrams, we saw picture after picture of the Tiger Guards capturing city after city in the three northeastern provinces.

Those battle scenes can only be imagined by yourself.

But when he saw the battle of the Tiger Guard Brigade with his own eyes, the street fighting here felt to him like adults beating children.

The Japanese devils, whom they regarded as invincible, were completely crushed!

The sight, hearing, and even the smell of blood mixed in the smoke were constantly stimulating his senses. It was this sense of impact that made him truly understand.

They pacified Shanxi and marched through the three northeastern provinces. How powerful was the Tiger and Leopard Army that never suffered a single defeat?

Facing the Japanese, we launched a comprehensive and sweeping attack.

clatter! clatter! clatter!

The fire of heavy machine guns appeared on the roof. Under the gloomy sky, the fire of heavy machine guns from several high points was like meteors in the night, smashing towards the Japanese positions.

Sparks flew everywhere. Under the suppression of heavy firepower and artillery fire, the Japanese were completely unable to raise their heads and could not organize an effective counterattack.

"We seem to have forgotten something very important..." Wen Ren said at this moment.

There was a hint of doubt in Zhu Rihe's eyes, and he looked at Wen Ren.

"When the Tiger Guards attacked cities like Jincheng, Shengjing, Chuncheng, and Chaocheng in the three northeastern provinces, they all had to engage in street fighting... And they were fighting the Kwantung Army, known as the ace of the Japanese army..."

Wen Ren held the telescope tightly in his hand, and his eyes reflected the scene of the Tiger Brigade charging in the distance.

After saying this, Zhu Rihe looked at the Huben Army in the distance.

"General Lin originally recruited a team of more than 20 people... each of them had crawled out from a pile of dead bodies... To them, this kind of street fighting was just an ordinary battle."

Zhu Rihe's eyes were heavy. An army of more than 20 people had been defeated, but now it had successfully completed the Northern Expedition and was marching south to other places.

Perhaps people can only see 100,000 iron troops marching south and the autumn wind sweeping the fallen leaves, but they were once soldiers who survived the battlefield where blood and flesh were flying.

The two men said nothing, looking at the battlefield in the distance where flames reached the sky and the sound of gunfire rang out. The respect in their eyes reached their hearts.

Some Japanese soldiers who were originally resisting found that they could not hold on at all and began to retreat.

Wen Ren discovered that at this time, the Japanese were retreating to the concession through the Huangpu River. Some of them were even evacuating by ship or by other means.

"They want to rely on warships... to bombard the Tiger Guards."

Wen Ren's past memories instantly flooded into his mind. During the Battle of Pudong, the Japanese tanks were rampaging on land, the sky above Pudong was filled with Japanese planes, and a shot from the naval guns on the sea could make an entire battalion lose its courage.

"The Japanese are trying to escape! They're fighting a fierce battle in the Pacific, and they have to protect the maritime transport routes in Southeast Asia. They still have three warships in Pudong, which will become an obstacle, but they can't stop the Tiger Expeditionary Force from controlling Pudong."

There was also some worry in Zhu Rihe's eyes. They had seen the power of the Japanese warships' cannons.

A round of salvos resulted in a sea of ​​fire that continued to burn.

Whenever the naval guns appeared, not even the corpses could be seen, only a huge deep pit and scorched earth, and the shock wave blew away everything.

"Three ships..." Wen Ren was silent. The shortcomings of the Huben Army's navy and air force were a microcosm of this country.

They are an agricultural country and have no industrial strength at all.

Pudong.

Inside the Japanese command room.

In a three-story villa, a burst of angry curses was heard from the general command center, but the figures in the command room kept running back and forth.

"Damn it! Why are the Tiger Guards here?!" Commander Yoshira Niino slammed the table heavily with anger in his eyes.

They were caught off guard by the Tiger Brigade's sudden attack on Pudong.

After all, who could have imagined that there would be an army that would march south after the Northern Expedition, or march south along the coastline? There would be such an army that marched south?

This is not the fastest route to Yunnan-Burma at all.

"Lin Tianchen... has no martial ethics! A sneak attack is fine, but on the summer solstice, during the southern expedition, he misled us! Bastard!"

No matter what, Yoshira Niino never expected that Lin Tianchen, who was also a commander, would make such a route plan.

But judging from the speed of the Tiger Brigade's advance, no troops can stop it!

"Sir, it seems that what the Army's Red Deer said at headquarters is true. General Lin Tianchen's decisions cannot be judged by the analysis of the Military Academy, let alone normal analysis."

The staff officer Kazutoshi Takahashi standing by was holding a thick stack of documents in his hands. These were the analysis reports on Lin Tianchen jointly prepared by Shizuo Miyamoto and Sanbon Kudo at the headquarters.

"Is it true? He's completely useless..." Yoshira Niino wanted to curse, but now facing the unstoppable Tiger Army, he remained silent with the analysis data on Lin Tianchen in his hand.

He did not expect the Tiger Guards to arrive so quickly, and the entire battlefield was truly crushed by the Tiger Guards.

Even when they attacked Pudong, it took them more than ten days to take down one street. But at the current speed of advancement, the Tiger Guards can take down one street in almost five minutes.

What is this concept?

This is the same speed as walking!

"Have the troops evacuated?" Yoshira Niino asked loudly, holding down the data analysis about Lin Tianchen with his right hand.

"We have already started evacuating...but at this speed, we will probably be caught up by the Tiger Guards..." Takahashi Kazutoshi said with a frown.

He once felt that the Tiger Brigade's battle record in the three northeastern provinces was just an excuse made by the army's idiots to justify their own incompetence.

The Kwantung Army was useless and had no combat effectiveness, so it was beaten like this by the Huben Army. The 800,000-strong Kwantung Army was defeated by the Huben Brigade of more than 100,000.

This is something that would have been impossible in the world's military history, but it actually happened to the empire, which undoubtedly became the empire's biggest joke.

Because of this incident, the empire's resources became increasingly tight.

Now, the moment he encountered the Huben Army in Pudong, he realized that the strength of the Huben Army was beyond his imagination.

Heavy artillery was counted, soldiers were charging, they were on the defensive in the street fighting, but they had no chance to fight back!

Absolutely not!

Moreover, he saw with his own eyes on the battlefield that wherever their soldiers gathered together, a precise artillery shell would fall.

This kind of oppressive feeling was the first time he had experienced it after fighting for more than ten years.

"Being caught up? Could it be that the Tiger Guards can fly?" Yoshira Niino cursed again.

"Sir, listen to the sound of gunfire outside... In less than half an hour, you should be able to feel that the road is getting closer..." Takahashi Kazutoshi didn't want to argue, so he pointed directly outside and said seriously.

Listening to the dense gunfire outside the command center, Kira Shinno's eyes became much more serious, but before he could speak.

boom!

But what greeted him was a burst of explosions, and the flames were imprinted on the glass windows, shining on the faces of every frightened Japanese soldier.

At this moment, a messenger came out of the command center with a telegram in his hand.

"Report, the Tiger Guards are approaching the Jiading District. The frontline positions... are simply unable to stop them..."

As this news came, the entire Japanese command center looked at each other in confusion. Even when Yoshira Niino heard this, the anger on his face gradually subsided.

Instead, his blood-red eyes were fixed on the map.

"How many ships are still in Pudong?" he said through gritted teeth.

If it weren't for the aircraft carrier groups, there would still be numerous battleships, destroyers and surface ships, most of which would be in the Pacific and Southeast Asia.

"Sir, there are only two cruisers and one destroyer..." Takahashi Kazutoshi said in a low voice while standing aside.

But as he said this, he spoke again: "Sir, we should evacuate as soon as possible. Southeast Asia is now our strategic focus. If we go through the Pudong battle again, our manpower will be insufficient, not to mention... the fleet has already left."

Takahashi Kazutoshi said in a low voice.

After all, the attack by the Hu Ben Army was too sudden, and the speed of its advancement was no different from a crushing defeat.

That's...

This was the same speed as when they attacked this country back then! Even faster than that!

Most importantly, Pudong's value during wartime was far less than Southeast Asia's resources and oil and other transportation lines...

When Yoshira Niino heard this, he couldn't help but look at the map.

"Has the order from headquarters been issued?" Kirara Niino thought for a while and then asked.

"Let us retreat..." Takahashi Kazutoshi then took out a telegram and placed it in front of everyone.

As soon as this order came out, everyone around looked at Yoshira Niino, and everyone was waiting for his order.

boom!

clatter! clatter! clatter!

The sound of gunfire became louder and louder at this time, like a cry of death, constantly stimulating everyone in the command center and stimulating Yoshira Niino.

"Sir, we are the navy... Even the Kwantung Army, which was known as the strongest in the Imperial Army, was defeated. Without the support of a large number of ships, we are no match for them... If we don't evacuate, we will all be destroyed in Pudong." Takahashi Kazutoshi said, pointing outside.

"Full evacuation! Send three warships to the Huangpu River and bombard the Tiger Guards' attack direction! Cover the retreat!"

When the sound was heard, many Japanese soldiers took a deep breath.

"Yes!" Takahashi Kazutoshi said loudly.

All of a sudden, everyone in the command room started packing up their things and began to evacuate to a distant place.

The sound of gunfire was getting closer and closer to them.
