On October 21, 1938, the Japanese army captured Shahe and controlled the urban area of Guangzhou. At the same time, the Japanese 104th Division advanced to the north of Guangzhou, captured Taipingchang, and occupied Assimilation on the 23rd. At the same time, the Japanese 5th Division (in this article
In order to cooperate with the navy after reconstruction, they captured Humen Fortress on the 23rd, Sanshui on the 25th, and Foshan on the 26th. By the 29th, the Japanese army controlled Guangzhou and nearby important places. The Battle of Guangzhou ended.
Telegrams from Guangzhou flew into Lao Jiang's hands like snowflakes. Lao Jiang was dumbfounded. He originally thought that Yu Hanmou could hold Guangdong, but he did not expect that with the superior strength of the Japanese army, Yu Hanmou could not hold on for even half a month.
Guangdong was lost and the Guangdong-Hankou Railway was cut off. If we continued to defend Wuhan, it would be a dangerous situation. In desperation, we had no choice but to abandon Wuhan. They abandoned the city on October 25. The Japanese army occupied Wuchang and Hankou on the 26th. On the 27th, they occupied Hanyang and Wuhan.
The defense war ends here.
In this battle, China suffered more than 400,000 casualties, Japan suffered 257,000 casualties, and the Soviet army suffered 100 casualties. Since then, the war between China and Japan has transformed into a stage of strategic stalemate.
…
When the situation on the Wuhan battlefield reached Zhou Weiguo, who was reviewing telegrams with Japan, Gu Feiyan was sent to Laixi to take charge.
Zhou Weiguo never expected that even after reminding Chiang Kai-shek about the Guangdong incident, Chiang Kai-shek would mobilize troops, but the Japanese army still had such a superior force. The combined attack by sea, land and air was indeed not something that the current Kuomintang army could withstand.
He suddenly sighed, walked around, and actually returned to the starting point. Wuhan was still lost. Three liberated counties, the National Army and the Eighth Route Army retreated on the same day.
"What's the problem?" Zhou Weiguo held his head and thought again and again. He did everything he could, but he still couldn't change the outcome. Is it the repairability of time and space? Or is it the inertia of history? Zhou Weiguo didn't figure it out.
I didn't think about the answer anymore, but suddenly I thought of the system and said, "System, why did Guangdong still fall after I clearly reminded them? The advantage of the Battle of Wuhan was much greater than in my previous life, why was it still lost?"
"Because of the restorability of time and space, it is also the inertia of history. The existence of the host is an uncontrolled alien to this time and space. What the host does affects this time and space to a certain extent, and this time and space will be somewhere else.
Make up for it and reach a balance." The system replied, "Did you finally remember to ask me? Do you still remember that I have this system? Two words for you, haha."
Zhou Weiguo was speechless and choked, and said nonchalantly, "Isn't this busy?" In fact, he still doesn't know how the system came about and why it appeared on him. As a soldier, what he always believes is
For him, his own strength, the system is an auxiliary, not a decisive weapon.
"hehe."
"Okay, don't be so petty." Zhou Weiguo was helpless, "Then how can I increase my influence? At least, my previous efforts will not be in vain."
"Unless the host directly appears on the battlefield of every battle, has had conversations with the host, and has had contact with the host, the host can be directly affected and not be compensated by time and space. Okay, I refuse to answer the next question because I am petty.
"
Zhou Weiguo looked confused, what the hell is this... As a straight man, Zhou Weiguo said he didn't understand.
However, based on what the system says, if he wants to change the outcome of a certain battle, he needs to be directly involved in the entire process. Things like teleportation and Guangdong, even if he reminds him, will be balanced.
This suddenly gave Zhou Weiguo the illusion that he was playing a game. He had a golden finger and could change the difficulty level, but time and space would increase the difficulty. This made Zhou Weiguo feel very uncomfortable.
But no matter what, at this time, he needs to go to Yan'an to deliver the sold equipment to the Communist Party. For such a large batch of equipment, even if he uses his identity as a Japanese to transport it to Shanxi, Shaanxi and other places, it is really
It is not safe. It is better for him to go directly to Yan'an after being included in the system. As for what others think, what can others think? They cannot guess Zhou Weiguo's methods.
…
"Miss Huizi." Zhou Weiguo said to Xiaolin Huizi, "I wonder how you have been resting here recently?"
"Thank you, Mr. Zhou, for your concern. I'm here and everything is fine." Xiaolin Huizi said. She had already known that there was no such thing as Zhuwen, but only Zhou Weiguo. Moreover, she always felt that Zhou Weiguo looked familiar, but
I really can’t remember it.
"I have informed Takeshita Jun about Miss Keiko's situation with me. Takeshita Jun wants you to stay in China for a while and wait until the war is over before returning to China." Zhou Weiguo said, "I don't know what Miss Keiko wants.
How about next."
"Then I'll trouble Mr. Zhou." Huizi nodded and said, "In that case, I want to do something for peace. Please allow Mr. Zhou."
"Right now, I have something to trouble Miss Keiko." Zhou Weiguo thought for a while and said, "I would like to ask you to provide Japanese language training to the main cadres of our independent division."
"Japanese language training?" Keiko Kobayashi asked.
"Yes."
"Didn't Dr. Takahashi and Dr. Suzuki do it before?"
"After all, they are doctors by profession, and the time they can usually teach is limited."
"I see, I understand. I am very willing to serve Mr. Zhou."
"Then please leave it to Miss Keiko."
…
"Shengli," Zhou Weiguo looked at Fang Shengli, "I want to go to Yan'an."
Fang Shengli frowned. Today Zhou Weiguo suddenly called him over and said he was going to Yan'an. "What are you going to do?"
Zhou Weiguo smiled, "Have you forgotten the batch of equipment we sold?"
"So you said that the equipment can be delivered to your door. Is that what you meant?" Fang Shengli sighed and said, "It's only 7 million silver dollars. Our independent division has no shortage, so why bother?"
"It's not 7 million, it's 70 million." Zhou Weiguo shook his head and said, "The Communist Party still has some integrity. Moreover, I sent this batch of equipment to give them enough strength to resist Japan."
"Aren't you afraid that when the anti-Japanese war ends, the two parties will start to argue again?"
Zhou Weiguo shook his head, "I'm just a soldier and I have to do what I should do. As for what politicians need to consider after the war is over."
"You." Fang Shengli sighed, "That's all, go ahead if you want to. I will help you guard this place."
"Thank you." Zhou Weiguo breathed a sigh of relief and said, he was still worried that Fang Shengli would stop him.
"However, you have to come back as soon as possible. Xiao Ya's due date is only more than 2 months away. Don't come back when Xiao Ya is about to give birth." Fang Shengli said helplessly.
"I know." Zhou Weiguo smiled, thinking of Xiao Ya, his heart felt warm again.

"Master, master!" an elderly man shouted as he entered a room.
