Chapter 1312 Difficulty in marching

"The terrain in our China is high in the west and low in the east, so the big rivers flow from west to east.

However, flowing from west to east refers to the main stream, while tributaries mostly travel north to south.

The Huai River runs east-west, and it has a tributary, Baisha River, which flows north-south.

According to the news from above, the Japanese army was attacking Gaocheng along the highway, and the Baisha River was a natural barrier.

Now, seeing that the Japanese army's attack is very large this time, it is because they have captured Xuzhou and wanted to attack Wuhan again.

How important is Wuhan now? Nanjing is lost, and the National Government is going to move to Chongqing, but that is just the government agency. Now the military command center is in Wuhan.

Moreover, since the northern provinces have lost a lot, in order to persist in the fight against Japan, the personnel and materials transferred from the northern provinces gathered in Wuhan.

Therefore, the reason why the Japanese army wanted to fight Wuhan was to achieve the best of its kind and to make our China surrender.

Our current location is in Nanyang, Henan, which is the closest large army there. Our army's mission is to go south from Nanyang, cross the Huaihe River along the Huaihe tributary called Baisha River, and fight to block the Japanese.

It took a longer time."

The above is what Shang Zhen reposted the general meaning of the brigade commander Liu Chengyi, and of course it can also be said to be an order.

The Northeast Army had no longer many possessions, so the 337th Brigade where Shang Zhen and their were moved again. It has only been more than two months since the 51st Army finished the battle of Xuzhou.

.

Under the scorching sun, a tired army that could not see the edge of the road was walking along the road.

The worries of not being full are gone, but the hardships of this marching are coming again.

One hour passed, two hours passed, four or five hours passed, the troops were still walking, and everyone's steps became heavier, but they mechanically moved with the rhythm of the large army.

leg.

“I feel like we will never be able to walk the horizon ahead.

When I saw this forest before, I thought that this forest might have arrived, but no, there is a horizon ahead." Chen Hanwen sighed like this during this march.

"Yes, you will never walk the horizon ahead, because the earth is round." Chu Tian gave such an answer.

The soldiers around them really heard them talking.

To be honest, how many people in China now know that they are all living on the earth sphere now? This is the first time some soldiers have heard the term "earth".

If it were normal for soldiers to ask, but this time no one would take them off. As for the reason, they were too tired and lazy to talk.

The whole day passed in this marching. When the sun set, the order to rest on the spot and continue the marching tomorrow came from the front. So on, the soldiers who were not in front of the front and not in the rear fell on the road now.

.

The smoke columns of picnics began to rise, first one bunch, then two bunch, three bunch, and four bunch. That was when the cooking teams of each combat unit started cooking.

However, the bunches of smoke from cooking were quite far apart, and from a high altitude it looked more like the beacon smoke ignited when foreign enemies invaded.

"Oh, my waist is about to be broken!" At this time, an officer rubbed his waist while walking along the road.

But his words were heard by a lower-level officer sitting by the roadside. The lower-level officer suddenly ordered in his slightly hoarse voice: "Whoever dares to come to us to say that his back hurts, if he is marching in a carriage,

All the people beat him up, and I will be responsible for what happens if I beat him up!"

Just this sentence can be said to be reversed.

Although the Northeast Army is not in a state of disrespect, how could the lieutenant colonel and the captain wear the same rank?

But when the lower-level officer's words reached the ears of the officer who was rubbing his waist, the officer was so scared that he turned around and walked back, but he still shouted: "It's against the sky, it's against the sky."

, I actually want to beat the chief!"

He turned around and turned so quickly that he directly hit another subordinate officer who was walking towards him from behind.

"That old bastard wants to hit me again!" The officer complained when he saw the person coming clearly, but he only said something and saw the other party glaring at him fiercely, and then the other person said, "You really deserve a beating!

”

The officer was so scared that he quickly ran away. His steps were not slow when he escaped. The back pain was because he was bumping in a carriage, but his legs still didn't hurt.

The one who sighed that the back pain was about to break was Wang Qingfeng, and the one who ordered him to be beaten was Wang Laomao, and the person he turned around and ran into was Shang Zhen.

This was the first time Shang Zhen stared at Wang Qingfeng. It turned out that he was just lazy to pay attention to that fat man.

But this time, you, a carriage, came to us and said that your back pain was hurting, and you are no longer in a normal way!

"Don't use your hands to pick the soles of your feet, as it hurts even more!" Shang Zhen ignored Wang Qingfeng and shouted. The soldiers looked up at their company commander and were picking their big hands with their hands.

He put down his hands with his feet.

If you walk too much, your feet will be blistered, and even veterans who have already had calluses on their feet will not do it.

"Boy Shang, tell me how far we have to go, right?" Wang Laomao asked when Shang Zhen sat next to Wang Laomao.

"It's early, it won't be there in less than ten days." Shang Zhen replied.

"What? That's so far?" Wang Laomao was surprised, and the soldiers who heard Shang Zhen's words all looked over.

"I don't know how far it is, but when I was in the brigade headquarters, I estimated the map of the brigade commander. There was always a straight line distance of three or four centimeters." Shang Zhen replied.

The maps are scaled down, and one centimeter on the map is likely to represent 100 kilometers.

Shang Zhen said that three or four centimeters on the map can be found in reality for three or four hundred kilometers, and this is still the straight line distance on the map. Which path is drawn with a ruler? It is all with a turn.

In a word, it is normal to have four or five hundred kilometers.

It is indeed a pity for them to marching four or five hundred kilometers like a tired master.

Wang Laomao was surprised for a while, but this time he did not curse people anymore, but he couldn't help but sigh, and then said, "It's better to catch the strong man!"

Shang Zhen didn't answer the conversation, but what he thought was that I would rather leave with a lot of water!

It was almost dark after dinner, and the soldiers snored on both sides of the road, but there was a whisper, which were some veterans led by Shang Zhen.

"The strong men are the cannon fodder of the veterans, the soldiers are the cannon fodder of the superiors, and the miscellaneous army is the cannon fodder of the Central Army. This is all fate!" That was Gu Bing's voice.

Shang Zhen was also on the scene, but no veteran expressed his objection to Gu Bing’s statement, because those who just participated in the discussion were all wise people.

Although Shang Zhen was the company commander and he was also the commander, but he was the commander. He was charging forward and retreating behind. Everyone understood that Gu Bing was not talking about Shang Zhen.

"What is the use of space for time? Isn't it just to rely on our large territory in China to drag it? If we say that the enemy is strong and we are weak, we can't use the word "drag" method.

But if this continues, the people in the areas occupied by the Japanese will suffer.

Then he also had to divide his troops to guard and set up defenses. For example, there were obviously 200,000 troops, and he had to divide them into many parts and release them everywhere. In the end, Yi'er became a place where the Japanese were actually more crowded than our army.

What are we going to do? In the end, all the people were killed. Anyway, they were not from their Central Army if they were killed." Gu Bing continued to complain.

No one went to play with Gu Bing. It was because everyone had just talked about it for a while and they were all tired.

Shang Zhen sat cross-legged on the side. He was tired, but he had no idea to answer the conversation. Will he not let his own people complain when he was tired of marching?

Although Gu Bing’s statement is biased, you can’t say that the Central Army did not contribute to the attack on the Japanese, such as the Battle of Shanghai, but there are many more insightful opinions.

But so what? The power to determine the direction of war is never in the hands of a small person with insight.

After Gu Bing complained, he finally fell asleep as soon as he lay back, and his audience naturally fell asleep earlier than him, including Shang Zhen.

But there was a man still sitting cross-legged, and that was a stupid man.
