The Mysterious Soldier of the Anti-Japanese War

Chapter 39 Give them the number of Nanjing National Defense Column

"Marshal, you didn't see it! The shell streaked across the sky like a meteor, then exploded right in the middle of the Japanese troops entering the city. For a moment, flames shot up into the sky, smoke filled the air, and the Japanese soldiers were blown to pieces, screaming in agony. That scene was truly liberating!" The adjutant's face was filled with the pleasure of revenge, and he continued, "The Japanese soldiers, those usually arrogant devils, fell like wheat being harvested. Their blood dyed the streets of Nanjing red. This is the retribution they deserved!"

"Also, Marshal, the tanks, armored vehicles and cannons that they were so proud of at the entry ceremony were all destroyed. Those steel behemoths were blown to pieces like fragile toys under the bombardment of howitzers. Some tanks were directly blown over, their tracks were broken, and their turrets were blown away; the armored vehicles were also hit by shells, their bodies were dented, and the Japanese soldiers inside were burned black; those cannons were originally the tools they used to invade us, but now they have become a pile of scrap metal, scattered on the ground." The adjutant became more and more excited as he spoke, and there were even tears in his eyes. It was an outburst of emotions that had been suppressed for a long time.

As Jiang Shan listened to his adjutant's narration, his furrowed brow gradually relaxed, and a glimmer of light appeared in his eyes. He seemed to see the smoke-filled battlefield, the Japanese army in disarray under artillery fire, a powerful counterattack against the invaders. A complex emotion welled up in his heart: admiration for the mysterious armed group, joy at the heavy losses suffered by the Japanese army, and a glimmer of hope for victory.

"Is this true?" Jiang Shan's voice trembled a little. He couldn't believe that in this dark moment, there would be such a ray of hope piercing through the haze.

"Absolutely true!" the adjutant replied firmly. "This information is absolutely reliable. Our intelligence officers risked their lives to send it back, and it has been repeatedly verified. It cannot be false."

Jiang Shan's mouth curled up slightly. He slowly walked to the window, looked at the sky in the distance, and said silently in his heart: "It seems that we still have hope, and there are those unknown heroes fighting for the country." At this moment, his fighting spirit was rekindled in his firm eyes. He knew that this might be an opportunity to turn the tide of the war. He must seize it tightly for the country, for the nation, and for the people who suffered in the war.

"Pass on my orders. You must try to contact this mysterious armed group. I want to commend them. They are not our combat units. I will give them the designation of the Nanjing National Protection Column." Jiang Shan's eyes were sharp and his words were resounding. Every word was filled with his expectation and respect for this mysterious force. "They have such courage and ability. It is a blessing for the country and the nation. We must give them the status they deserve and let them fight the Japanese army with justification."

He paced back and forth in the hall, his steps firm and powerful, each one a drumbeat against the Japanese army's heads. "All the scattered soldiers in the surrounding area will be under their command and command. They will be a force that cannot be underestimated. They will be a sharp blade stuck in the heart of the Japanese army, making those invaders restless." Jiang Shan's voice grew increasingly passionate, as if he could already see this new team galloping across the battlefield, disrupting the Japanese army's formation.

"Hold a press conference for me. Our Chinese National Security Army Nanjing National Protection Column successfully held a ceremony to enter the city against the Japanese army.

Launch an artillery attack." He waved his hand, like a general commanding a vast army, "Let the whole world know that we, the sons and daughters of China, are not lambs to be slaughtered. We have the power to resist, and we are warriors who dare to draw our swords against the Japanese. This artillery attack is the clarion call for our counterattack, and it will be a nightmare for the Japanese invasion."

The adjutant sprang into action upon receiving the order. The entire headquarters, like a precision machine, swiftly began to work. Preparations for the press conference proceeded with intensive but orderly effort, and the news spread like wildfire, spreading rapidly throughout the military and the civilian population.

At the press conference, reporters from around the world gathered. Jiang Shan, dressed in a neatly trim military uniform, his medals gleaming brightly under the lights, walked steadily up to the podium. Flashbulbs twinkled like stars in the audience, as reporters eagerly awaited the commander's remarks.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we are holding this press conference today to announce an exciting news to the world." Jiang Shan's voice was carried throughout the conference hall through the microphone. "In Nanjing, there was a brave and fearless team - the Nanjing National Protection Column. During the Japanese army's entry ceremony, they used large-caliber howitzers to inflict heavy damage on the enemy. They disrupted the Japanese army's farce of showing off their military power and inflicted heavy losses on the Japanese army. This was a powerful response to the invaders and a symbol of our nation's indomitable spirit!"

The reporters in the audience were whispering to each other, recording this important news. Some foreign reporters showed surprise. They had not expected that under the crazy attack of the Japanese army, China still had such a mysterious and powerful force.

"Our National Security Army has decided to grant this team the designation of Nanjing National Protection Column and to place the surrounding stragglers under its jurisdiction and dispatch. This is our commendation for their heroic behavior and also our high hopes for them. We hope that the Nanjing National Protection Column can continue to exert their strength and work with us to drive the Japanese army out of our land!" Jiang Shan's speech was impassioned, and every word was like a spark, igniting the blood of everyone present.

The news caused a huge response across China. Upon hearing the news, soldiers scattered across the country gathered in the direction of the Nanjing National Protection Column. Hope gleamed in their eyes, and the flame of battle reignited in their hearts.

In the Japanese-occupied areas, civilians who had suffered greatly from the Japanese army also learned the news. They rushed to tell each other, their faces filled with long-lost smiles. "We are saved! With the National Protection Column here, the Japanese won't have much longer!" an old man said excitedly, tears glistening in his eyes, expressing his anticipation for victory.

In every corner of the Japanese-occupied areas, some people with lofty ideals also began to act secretly. They tried their best to join this mysterious team and contribute their own strength to fight against the Japanese army.

The name of the Nanjing National Protection Column, like a flag, fluttered high in the darkness, leading countless Chinese sons and daughters to bravely advance towards the goal of driving out the Japanese army and recovering the country's territory.

At the same time, Jiang Shan was also actively deploying follow-up operations. He mobilized resources from all sides to provide weapons, ammunition, supplies, and intelligence support to the Nanjing National Protection Column. He knew that this was only the beginning of the counterattack and there would be a long and arduous battle ahead, but he firmly believed that as long as the military and civilians of the country were united, they would be able to defeat the Japanese army and restore the glory of China.
