Chapter 1061 Assist the retreat
"I don't think we can attack, lest the Chinese people get trapped."
"Yes, we can't attack, there is really a lot of risk, and the troops we've lost before really scared us."
"Your Excellency Commander, we will not send troops. We will only wait and see."
"Yes, we just wait and see. If it is really not the enemy's trap, I think we can take action."
Other officers said that they were just waiting and watching, but in fact everyone was worried that it was the trap of the Chinese.
"Report to the commander, the call from the area headquarters." At this moment, a Japanese correspondent came in to report.
"Click the phone in." Matsui immediately responded, and he did not dare to neglect the phone from the district headquarters.
"Yes." The communication soldier immediately turned around to report.
In a while.
Matsui connected to the district headquarters phone number and called the district commander.
The district commander gave the most direct order to Matsui.
A few minutes later.
Matsui had to hang up the phone, his face looking a little ugly.
"Your Excellency Commander, do you have any instructions from the district headquarters?" the other officers asked directly, looking at the tights.
"The area headquarters asked us to send troops to stop the Chinese army from retreating. This is also the best time for us to annihilate the Chinese army." Matsui responded directly.
"No, Your Excellency Commander, this is a trap. Are we really trapped in the enemy?" A colonel officer stood up and responded directly.
"The district headquarters said that they received the exact news that the Chinese people were really retreating, not traps, and let our entire army attack, causing the greatest casualties to the Chinese troops." Matsui reported to the order conveyed by the district headquarters.
"What if the information received by the district headquarters is fake? Then aren't we trapped in the quagmire of war?" another colonel stood up and said.
"Even if it is fake, we must implement the orders of the district headquarters. In the face of military orders, we must move forward bravely and show the military power of our Great Japanese Imperial Empire." Matsui, regardless of whether the trap is true or false, the district headquarters has issued an order to let them attack.
The other officers saw that the commander was so determined, and they had no way to refuse.
The order has been issued, so as officers below, they must execute it.
...
Broken house.
Zhou Weihua also held a military meeting.
Of course, except for the guarded soldiers, all other soldiers will attend military meetings.
"Comrade Captain, now the Kuomintang army is retreating tomorrow night. We want to achieve their defensive area, and our personnel are already handing over to the Kuomintang army."
"I really don't know that the Kuomintang army retreated from Shanghai City in such a joint, and I don't know what they were thinking."
"Yes, I have already achieved such a great advantage, why should I retreat? It is when morale is high and when it is the biggest blow to the Japanese, you should guard it."
"Maybe they have more advanced tasks or strategies. Since they retreated from Shanghai City, we will take over the defensive tasks and advance and retreat together with the people of Shanghai."
Xiaoba and others said one after another that they were willing to advance and retreat with the people of Shanghai and would never allow the Japanese to do whatever they wanted in Shanghai.
"As for why the national army retreated, we can't explain, nor do we want to explain. Now we are Chinese men, Shanghai is our territory. If the Japanese want to cause huge harm to our people in this area, I, Zhou Weihua, will definitely not make the Japanese so proud. They must pay a heavy price." Zhou Weihua responded directly, expressing his determination.
"Comrade Captain, we are willing to advance and retreat with the people of Shanghai, and we will never let the little devil do whatever he wants in Shanghai." Xiaoba and others expressed their determination one after another.
"Okay, with your determination, we will definitely be able to do whatever we want and cause the greatest casualties to the Japanese." Zhou Weihua said to all the soldiers.
"Kill and kill!" All the soldiers were murderous intent.
"According to our speculation, this time the national army retreated, I think the Japanese will definitely attack in secret. We must be prepared to deal with it and assist the national army in this retreat." Zhou Weihua suddenly spoke.
"Comrade Captain, why do we still need to assist the national army in retreat? Can't we let them retreat in the Japanese artillery fire?" One of the soldiers said in anger.
"We are all Chinese soldiers, so there is no need to distinguish between you and me, and we are not willing to see our compatriots die at the gun of the Japanese. We need to be united in front of foreign enemies." Zhou Weihua responded directly.
"But the Kuomintang abandoned the people of Shanghai to retreat, and we still had to cover their retreat. I think we couldn't bear it." Another team member said anger, but what he said was true.
"I know what you said is anger. Angry, the National Army retreated at this crisis. It is equivalent to abandoning the people of Shanghai and our common comrades-in-arms. However, as soldiers, they have orders issued by them. As soldiers, they regard obeying orders as their duty. If one day, our superiors will also issue retreat orders to us, and we will also retreat before weighing the pros and cons." Zhou Weihua explained to everyone.
"..." All the team members fell into silence.
As a soldier, he does have the helplessness of a soldier. Especially when superiors issue orders, he must perform the duties of a soldier, which is to obey the orders.
"We don't need to discuss the issues we just now. All we need to do is to advance and retreat with the people of Shanghai, and never let the enemy act recklessly on our territory and kill our compatriots." Zhou Weihua directly ordered all the soldiers.
"Yes, ensure that the mission is completed." All soldiers responded unanimously.
"Xiaobu, what's the situation with Li Long?" Zhou Weihua still wanted to know the situation of Li Long's group.
"Captain Li has set up an ambush near the building as we have instructed before. After they wait for Commander Xie's men to retreat, they will establish a new defensive line." Xiaoba responded truthfully to the information.
"It's great. The joining of Li Long's regiment is our largest support force. I believe that more and more people in Shanghai will join our Anti-Japanese War." Zhou Weihua continued to respond: "I have asked the Shanghai underground workers to launch a recruitment, and Boss Du will also let a group of his subordinates join our Anti-Japanese War."
"Boss Du is really majestic and domineering, and is selfless in front of foreign enemies." Xiaoba responded with a smile.
"Stop flattering here, hurry up and prepare for our defense." Zhou Weihua glanced at the minibus. This guy seemed to have been a little drifting recently.
However, I was quite satisfied with the work I should do and there was nothing to be picky about.
It proves that Xiaoba's progress is obvious to all, and everyone is willing to believe in his command, so Zhou Weihua has also become more relaxed in some things.
Chapter completed!
