10 a.m. on January 29, 1932.

At the rest house on Huangpu Road in Jinling, Chairman Jiang, who was sleeping peacefully with his wife, was suddenly woken up, comforted his wife who was woken up, and asked her to continue sleeping.

Outside the bedroom door, Dai Liren, Chen Fu and others were full of anxiety.

The corridor had been emptied by the guards, and Dai Liren whispered in Chairman Jiang's ear: "Principal, the Japanese army has attacked Shanghai!"

"Huh?!" Chairman Jiang's brows immediately condensed, waved his hand, and motioned for everyone to go to the study.

Several people followed Chairman Jiang and walked quietly to the study on the second floor.

However, only Dai Li and Chen Fu followed the chairman into the bookstore, and the others consciously waited outside the door.

Although Chairman Chiang has resigned from his posts as head of the Chinese government, his influence is still active in the military and political circles of China, among which his Dai Liren is in charge of the intelligence department, and everything in the Kuomintang is under his surveillance.

In 1929, Chen Fu was appointed by Chairman Chiang to the position of head of the Organization Department of the CPC Central Committee, and Chen Fu's elder brother Chen Guo was appointed by Chairman Chiang as vice chairman of the "Guidance Committee" before he went to the field, and he reorganized the governments of Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Jiangxi, and Gansu provinces in Lianghuai for Chairman Chiang.

It can be said that the Chen brothers are very trusted by the chairman, and even have the 453 law of "the Chen family party in the world of the Jiang family".

At this time, the two generals under him visited at the same time late at night, and Chairman Chiang also knew that the battle in Shanghai would have to be fought.

Chairman Jiang, who was sitting in the chair, looked serious and sighed slightly.

At the beginning, he was unwilling to fight the Yamato people in the northeast, and it was one of them that he had to settle the interior before he fought outside, and more importantly, the territory of Chairman Chiang's Central Army did not extend north of the Yellow River, and when he fought in the northeast, Chairman Chiang was not sure about logistics, not to mention that China's coastal defense now seems to be nothing.

"How's the battle going?" asked Chairman Chiang.

Dai Liren immediately replied: "Principal, at about 11:30 on the evening of the 28th, the Japanese army launched a sneak attack on the 6th Regiment of the 156th Brigade of the 19th Route Army, and the troops launched an attack from various intersections in Zhabei in five ways, but Jiang Guang has resisted the Japanese attack and suppressed the Japanese army in Zhabei, at least there will not be much war tonight." "

Chairman Chiang came to the map, and the two of them followed decisively.

After looking at the map, Chairman Chiang said in a deep voice: "If it is like the September 18 Incident, I am afraid that the Japanese army will want to start a war, or even occupy Jinling and control the Yangtze River valley! The flames of war will rapidly spread to the whole country, and major dangers will occur in important parts of China at any time!"

"The death of the country is (CHDF) at the moment!" Chairman Chiang slammed his fist on the map.

"Chairman of the Committee, please go back and preside over the overall situation!" Chen Fu stepped forward and persuaded him.

"No hurry, no hurry. Chairman Jiang shook his hand: "Although this is an opportunity, but not now, wait for tomorrow at the emergency meeting to let the British and American consuls come forward to mediate, hoping to avoid war as much as possible." "

"The country ...... I can't afford it...... "Chairman Chiang."

On the night of the 28th, due to the early morning of the 19th Route Army, the Japanese surprise attack was frustrated, and after the two armies fought a battle, they each retreated to rest.

After dawn on the 29th, Shiozawa Yukiichi and more than 2,300 Japanese marines made a comeback, with 25 armored vehicles as the vanguard, and launched an attack on the position of the 19th Route Army.

At the same time, Shiozawa Koichi ordered the aircraft carrier Notoro of the Japanese 1st Foreign Fleet stationed in Shanghai to take off fighter planes and bomb the area around Zhabei and Nanshi defended by the 19th Route Army, and the flames of war quickly spread in all directions.

At around 10 a.m. on the 29th, Japanese planes dropped bombs, and the General Factory of the Commercial Press and the Oriental Library were burned to the ground, and more than 300,000 volumes in the library's collection, including many rare books, were burned.

Under the cover of powerful artillery fire and armored vehicles, more than 1,000 Japanese troops violently attacked the intersections of Baoshan Road and Qiujiang Road, in an attempt to occupy the Shanghai North Railway Station, which is the land transportation hub of Shanghai, and its gains and losses are related to the safety of the entire Zhabei.

At 2 o'clock in the afternoon of the 29th, the Japanese army took advantage of the fire at the North Station to attack the North Station, and a company of the military police of the Chinese defenders withdrew from the North Station after a fierce battle with the Japanese army for one hour.

At 17 o'clock in the afternoon of the 29th, the main force of the 156th Brigade joined the battle.

In the face of the attack of the Japanese armored vehicles, the 156th Brigade of the 19th Route Army, which lacked heavy weapons, concentrated the grenades, made them into cluster grenades, and organized death squads to launch a decisive assault on the Japanese armored vehicles by latent means!

On every defensive battlefield, you can see the stubborn resistance of the soldiers of the 19th Route Army, and the young soldiers tied the cluster grenades to their bodies and rushed to the Japanese armored vehicles without fear of death!

The crisp guns made by the old-fashioned Hanyang floated in the air, Jiang Guang ordered the only artillery unit of the 19th Route Army to open fire, several 75 guns from the First World War roared, and the 156th Brigade took the opportunity to launch a counterattack and recapture the positions captured by the Japanese army!

With the stalemate of the battle, the streets were on fire everywhere, the flames were everywhere, and the battlefield was extremely miserable, but the 156th Brigade finally resisted the attack of the Yamato Marines!

At 29 o'clock in the afternoon of 18 o'clock, the North Station and Tiantongan Station were recovered, and the 156th Brigade pursued the victory, once capturing the headquarters of the Japanese Shanghai Marine Corps, forcing the enraged Shiozawa Koichi to retreat to the east of the North Bashu Road and the south of the Target Road.

The first Japanese offensive ended in failure.

At the same time, at an emergency meeting of the Jinling government in China, Chairman Chiang, who had been left in opposition last year due to the September 18 Incident, returned again and was appointed as a member of the Military and Political Council, responsible for mobilizing the army and commanding the Shanghai War.

Subsequently, Chairman Chiang formulated the principles for dealing with Japan and ordered the 47th Division stationed in Bengbu to be stationed in Jinling Pukou to prevent the Japanese army from attacking Jinling.

Actively liaise with the British and American consulates.

At 18 o'clock on the afternoon of the 29th, the British and American consuls came forward to mediate, and Shiozawa Yuichi agreed to an armistice due to the shortage of troops in his hands, and the two armies reached an agreement to stop fighting at 20 o'clock on the night of the 29th.

However, the 19th Route Army also knew that the Japanese army was delaying the reinforcements and began to strengthen its deployment and prepare to deal with the bitter battle.

At the headquarters of the Japanese Marine Corps, Koichi Shiozawa angrily rebuked Yoshiko Kawashima who rushed over: "What about the aid you promised!

Yoshiko Kawashima saluted: "The Ministry of the Navy has ordered the 26th Sasebo destroyer to come to support, and the ships will come with 474 soldiers of the Sasebo 3rd Special Marine Brigade and a large number of munitions, and then there will be two marine groups of more than 2,000 people, landing in batches. "

The news brought by Yoshiko Kawashima made Shiozawa Koichi's anger lessen a lot.

The war has broken out, and Shiozawa Koichi has no way to retreat, but the combat effectiveness of the Marine Corps makes him very, very angry, the other party is only a brigade of more than 5,000 people, and there are no heavy weapons, and more than 2,000 people on his side have been beaten back under the cover of armored vehicles and fleet artillery, and even the Marine Corps headquarters has been lost!

Looking at the angry Shiozawa Koichi, Kawashima Yoshiko couldn't help but feel a wave of contempt in her heart, compared to the glorious battle in the north, the performance of the Marines was too humiliating, and Kawashima Yoshiko seriously suspected that their combat effectiveness might not be as good as the Army Reserve......
