Seeing the Chinese tank in front slowly retreating, the soldiers of the Third Division who had been resisting just now shouted excitedly.
Many soldiers were so excited that they burst into tears and shouted loudly: "We actually defeated such a powerful opponent."
Susumu Fujita looked at the excited soldiers around him, but he felt a sense of sadness in his heart. The Third Division, which once did not take any opponents seriously, had three entire regiments, and now it was two regiments in size in order to repel the Chinese.
They cheered for the attack. Is this still the heroic and fearless imperial army? And those Chinese people clearly had the upper hand just now, why did they take the initiative to retreat?
"Report to your Excellency, General, that the Second Tank Brigade and the Watanabe Detachment have come to reinforce us. They are now less than twenty miles away from us." At this time, the messenger came to report.
"So, that's it." Susumu Fujita smiled bitterly. It turned out that he had taken advantage of the Chariot Brigade and Yokota Detachment.
"Your Excellency, Division Commander, Commander Koizumi Brigade and General Watanabe are here. You should go and greet them." At this time, a staff officer came over and reminded Fujita.
"Yo Xi" Fujita nodded and stepped forward to greet him.
Kazuo Koizumi and Masahito Watanabe walked over side by side. Seeing the miserable condition of the soldiers of the Third Division, they couldn't help but be secretly surprised. They knew the fighting power of the Third Division and could defeat them in a few hours.
They have never heard of a China unit fighting like this. Could it be that the intelligence is wrong? It is not a China division, but an army, or more units.
"Koizumi-kun, Watanabe-kun, thank you for your hard work." At this time, Fujita came forward and saluted the two generals who were rated by him to thank them for their help.
"Don't take it seriously, Fujita-kun is the one who really worked hard." The two of them returned the favor in unison.
Watanabe Masahito smiled and said to Susumu Fujita: "It seems that Mr. Fujita fought very hard just now. Which Chinese army was fighting with you just now, causing you to suffer such heavy casualties?"
Masahito Watanabe's question almost made Susumu Fujita feel ashamed. He smiled bitterly: "It made Mr. Watanabe laugh, so the China Army dispatched an infantry regiment and a tank regiment, less than 7,000 people."
"Nani's two regiments have less than 7,000 people." Masahito Watanabe and Kazuo Koizumi looked at each other, and found a hint of horror flashing in each other's eyes.
"In just two hours of fighting, our division lost more than 2,000 people. Many of them were killed by Chinese tanks and aircraft." Susumu Fujita said to his two colleagues with a grimace: "I still
For the first time, I discovered: "I don't understand, can you make a flower just by sitting there and sipping tea? It's a waste of time."
Hu Lian shook his head, completely giving up on Zhou Zhen's talent in drinking tea.
"Okay, I called you here specifically to remind you that your armored regiment is not allowed to attack without orders. According to aerial reconnaissance, the Japanese army has deployed hundreds of field guns in front of your armored regiment. Just wait.
You threw yourself into a trap because you attacked without authorization and caused the armored regiment to suffer unnecessary losses. I know you Zhou Zhen, but the gendarmerie and the military court do not know you. Do you understand?" At the end of the sentence, the Internet was already stern.
"Yes" Zhou Zhen stood up and said seriously. He also knew that Hu Lian was beating him up, for fear that he would break out of the trap. You must know that the military court in Chahar is famous for only recognizing military law and not people.
"It's good that you know." Hu Lian's face softened and he said slowly: "Sir Su sent a telegram. We may not be able to stay in Shanghai for long. Maybe we will have to go back in a few days."
"Why aren't we fighting well here? Why did Commander Su transfer us back?" Zhou Zhen shouted anxiously.
"What do you know?" Hu Lian glared at Zhou Zhen. "We are the only division in Shanghai now. Although nominally there are so many brothers and friendly troops nearby, when our division is really in danger, what do you think will happen?"
Who came to help in time?"
"Besides, Commander Su doesn't want us to retreat immediately, he just wants us to withdraw when things are unavoidable." At this point, Hu Lian let out a long sigh: "The national situation is difficult, and we must be more considerate and considerate of Commander Su.
It’s not easy for him either.”
"yes"
Zhou Zhen saluted and then looked at Hu Lian. Hu Lian waved his hand, and the man went out gloomily.
At this time, Hu Lian was also wondering what the meaning of Chief Su's clueless telegram was. It just told him to be ready to go home, but did not explain the reason or date. Could it be that Chief Su was also there at this time?
Undecided?
Yes, Su Tong was indeed hesitant in the office at this time. Just yesterday evening, Su Tong received a telegram from Sun Liren. The expedition group led by Sun Liren had already reached Blagoveshchensk, which is commonly known as Blagoveshchensk in China.
Hailanpao.
Sun Liren stated in the telegram that with the cooperation of the Russian guards, the Dongjin Group led by him is expected to capture Hailanpao within three days.
Su Tong clearly knew that if Hailanpao was captured, the door of Vladivostok would be completely opened to the Dongjin Group. Once Vladivostok was captured, Chahar would form a pair of pliers to tightly clamp the three eastern provinces.
The Kwantung Army's 600,000 troops will be surrounded by Chahar. Judging from the map, once this pincer is formed, as long as Su Tong is willing, he can join Sun Liren's 100,000 most elite troops from the east and west lines to the east at any time.
The three provinces launch attacks at the same time, and the countdown will begin to recapture the three eastern provinces.
Recovering the three eastern provinces was a huge temptation that firmly attracted Su Tong. As long as the three eastern provinces were recovered, the Japanese in China would be like grasshoppers after the autumn, unable to jump around for a few days. Their outcome is likely to be
expected.
If such a situation really occurs, Hu Lian's 102nd Division must be transferred back to Chahar. There are not many elite troops among the remaining troops in Chahar, and Su Tong will never let the 102nd Division go.
An elite unit like the Second Division was wasted on the battlefield in the Central Plains.
But Shanghai Su Tong was not willing to let the Japanese army do what they did. If Shanghai was lost, would the Nanjing Incident still happen? This was what Chief Su was most troubled about. He couldn't even eat dinner because of this problem, and even the little nurse specially prepared it for him.
He didn't even bother to drink the lotus seed soup he made.
"Jianming, Jianming," the little nurse couldn't help but said coquettishly when she saw her husband's absent-minded look: "Why have you been absent-minded all night? What are you thinking about?"
"It's nothing, I was just thinking about work." Su Tong came back to his senses and forced a smile.
At this time, my sister-in-law Huang Ya, who came to the house for dinner tonight, said with a smile: "Hehe, my brother-in-law must have fallen in love with another girl."
Chief Su couldn't help but feel angry when he heard this. He seems to be such a carefree person. Your sister alone controls me tightly, not to mention she has two such powerful helpers.
"Okay, Ya'er, your brother-in-law is thinking about something, so don't make any trouble." Xia Yuxin was on the side. Director Xia reached out and patted the little girl's butt.
"Huh." The little girl snorted and stopped talking. It's strange to say that although this little girl is not afraid of anything, she is most afraid of the increasingly majestic Director Xia. And the overall situation of Xia
While I was doing it, I was in awe of the little girl's sister and the nurse.
This is really a bit of tofu with brine, one thing reduces the other.
Okay, I'll ignore you. I still have things to do, my brothers. After dinner, Chief Su went back to the study to study a lot of information.
