Although it is said that the Japanese army has once again increased its troops by 100,000, which is extremely bad news for the already eroded Songhu battlefield, the Supreme Commander has made up his mind and will persist for at least three more days. A group of generals from the Military Commission continue to
Worry can only encourage the officers and soldiers on the front line. No one dares to mention the word retreat easily.
Besides, it is better to know the news than to be completely kept in the dark. Several military orders were successively passed from the Chinese headquarters to the third theater, all of which required strengthening the defense of several possible landing sites, including those that had been recognized by General Tang.
Jinshan Guard, where it is impossible for the Japanese army to land, will return to its original station after being transferred from an infantry division.
Of course these generals didn't know that although an infantry division would not play a big role in the coming 100,000 Japanese troops, compared to the Jinshan Guards who could not even gather an infantry battalion in time and space,
But I don't know how strong it is. Even if the Japanese can successfully land, the blood will stain the entire tidal flat red.
Only Liu Lang, who had learned the news, sighed silently, holding the message in his hand. Liu Lang stood in front of the window for a long time. He had made all his efforts, but the heavy train of history did not stop because of his time travel.
The little butterfly came and changed direction, but still stubbornly moved forward along the original track.
The national government did decipher the telegram for the Japanese army to increase troops in Songhu, but the Japanese invaders who increased their troops by 100,000 still failed to change the supreme commander's stubborn hope in those Westerners with yellow hair and blue eyes. Songhu had hundreds of thousands of troops.
China's most elite troops have not withdrawn.
As for the infantry division with more Jinshan Guards than before, although Liu Lang believed that they would cause far greater damage to the Japanese aggressors when they landed than before, they had no impact on the entire Songhu battle.
effect.
As a little butterfly who came from time-travel, Liu Lang knew best that what landed at Jinshanwei were three divisions of the Japanese invaders. Even if five thousand Japanese invaders died here, it would still be a huge and terrifying war.
Machine. You must know that Itagaki Seishiro led two and a half divisions to fight an inextricable battle with the Chinese army of more than 200,000 in Shanxi. The Chinese army that was defending by danger was still at a disadvantage.
Once the Japanese army with nearly 100,000 troops outflanks the hundreds of thousands of Chinese defenders in the west of Shanghai, it will be a complete disaster for the Chinese army, which still has hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops ahead and is being attacked from both sides.
, that’s how that terrible debacle was born.
Hundreds of thousands of Chinese troops were rushing on only a few roads. Because the iron bridge crossing the river was bombed, the 150 heavy artillery and 105 heavy artillery, which the soldiers regarded as their lives, could only be pushed into the river. The Chinese army that retreated to the surrounding Nanjing was almost
All of his heavy equipment was lost, which was the main reason why the battle to defend Nanjing failed so quickly. With only men and no cannons, it was a waste.
If the lost equipment can be replenished, then the wounded soldiers who could not be transported were abandoned in large numbers, which was the biggest tragedy for the Chinese soldiers from this rout. During the entire Songhu Battle, the Chinese suffered more than 300,000 casualties, but in fact, they died in the battle
Less than half of them were wounded, and a large number of them were wounded. However, with the advent of the great retreat, the wounded soldiers who had not had time to transport them could only be abandoned. Those abandoned were not only veterans with combat experience, but they could be recovered after being cured.
The elite who take up arms and go to the battlefield lose the soul of an army.
When the comrades fighting side by side can be abandoned at will, then, who else in this world can be trusted?
It can be said that from that moment on, those troops who abandoned their wounded soldiers and turned around and fled have lost their reputation as elites. They are no longer the heroic troops who dared to fight the Japanese invaders on the Songhu battlefield.
.
But Liu Lang also knew that it was no wonder that no one wanted to abandon their comrades. However, the chaos in command from top to bottom and the huge anxiety caused by the approaching Japanese invaders could no longer be restored by individual efforts, even if
Even though you are a military commander or a division commander, you can only do nothing in front of hundreds of thousands of defeated troops who are frantically running backwards just to survive.
Even the supreme leader could only remain stunned in the face of such a situation.
If you want to change this terrible situation, unless the entire army retreats in an orderly manner from the past two days or even from today, even if you persuade the supreme leader to increase the number of Jinshan Guards and send one or even two armies, it will be futile.
. Jinshanwei is not the only place where you can land in Shanghai...
"Hey! Are we going to lose after all?" Liu Lang sighed again in great depression, his whole body filled with a sense of powerlessness.
This is the first time Liu Lang has felt powerless and helpless since coming to this era. A huge disaster is right in front of him, but he can't stop it, even if he has spent five years preparing, even if he has exhausted all his strength
.
From the time he came to this era five years ago, Liu Lang was like a moth falling into a net. He struggled in the net and pulled up a powerful infantry that could withstand a Japanese aggressor division.
He has used his advantages from the future to develop advanced light weapons that are at least five years ahead of this era. He has invested in what can be regarded as the largest business group in China...
He just wanted to break through this terrible cage on the day of war, so that the Chinese nation would not suffer such terrible disasters in time and space. It seems that he succeeded. He beat the Japanese until they cried for their fathers and mothers at the Great Wall. He
In eastern Shanxi, the decline in time and space was reversed, and the corpses of Japanese invaders from division commanders to second-class soldiers were enough to cover the mountain mist of Niangzi Pass.
However, he still failed. In front of the solid net of history, his little moth rushed left and right, but was still unable to break through even a small gap. The terrible Songhu defeat was right in front of him.
coming soon.
Songhu was defeated, but what about Nanjing? What to do about Nanjing? As soon as he closed his eyes, Liu Lang seemed to be able to hear the painful wails of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians. Their voices had already passed through eighty years of time and space and were in Liu Lang's mind.
It took root deeply.
A pair of gentle arms hugged Liu Lang's waist tightly, and a head was gently placed on Liu Lang's shoulder.
It belonged to Lieutenant Colonel Ji and Liu Lang's wife.
Seeing that Liu Lang had been standing in front of the window after getting the urgent message from the Songhu front line, Ji Yanxue knew that Liu Lang must have received news that he could not let go. In her memory, Liu Lang could
This was the first time that Lang stood alone at the window until the sky turned white. It must be a problem that even he could not solve.
She was very smart and didn't ask or even try to persuade him. She just stayed with him quietly until Liu Lang babbled in pain.
Ji Yanxue's heart ached. She knew her husband well. From the moment she left home to follow him south to Sichuan, she knew that he was a strange man who put his country at home. Although he was not the traditional type described in the book
A gentleman, sometimes a little cunning, sometimes even a little out of tune, but he is definitely the person Ji Yanxue has ever seen in his life who loves this country the most.
He is a kid from a rich family, so he can just rest on the wealth created by his parents and enjoy himself; he has merits that others cannot achieve in a lifetime of hard work, and he has become a colonel at a young age, so he can just follow the steps and wait for promotion.
Major general was promoted to lieutenant general; he had a keen mind and far beyond ordinary people's knowledge, and he earned a huge wealth in a short period of time. Even overseas, no one dared to despise his wealth; but he chose a way to stand out from others.
Taking a different path, he devoted himself to the battlefield and fought bloody battles with the Japanese invaders who invaded the country.
Because nothing is more important to him than this country. Even love.
Although she knew that even she ranked second to this country in her husband's heart, Ji Yanxue knew that perhaps this was one of the reasons why she fell in love with him. Because she also loved this country and its people.
.Even though the country is in shabby condition and the people are very poor, she really loves it. She just loves this land for no reason.
However, she also felt sorry for her husband! When she saw his face full of pain and murmured "Are we going to lose after all?", her heart felt like needles pricking her. She didn't know how to comfort her, she could only give him a
Hug, hope, use the temperature of your own body to give him a little warmth.
After a while, Liu Lang seemed to have made a decision and said softly: "Yan Xue, you are going to take the train to Wuhan this morning!"
"Yes!" Ji Yanxue agreed gently.
"I'm sorry, Yan Xue, I can't see you off today. I have to go to the Military and Political Department." Liu Lang said again.
Ji Yanxue didn't say anything, but held her arms tighter.
Yes! In three hours, she will have to board the train to Wuhan and leave her beloved husband.
However, she had to leave. As a wife, her husband was leading troops on the front line. She could not let him distract her. Taking care of her parents-in-law was her responsibility as a wife. As a soldier, she had the responsibility of garrisoning the rear and needed to raise funds.
Military pay is used to prepare military supplies.
However, after seeing each other again, she didn't know when she would see her again. Ji Yanxue's heart was filled with knots of tenderness, but she tried not to shed tears. She was afraid that she might wet her husband's straight back.
It is said that "being ruthless may not necessarily make a hero a hero, but a pity for a son is not a husband." But it is easier said than done. Although the wife behind him did not speak, Liu Lang didn't know what his wife was thinking. In fact, she really wanted to know, since she was destined to
If it failed, what else would he do to the Military and Administrative Department?
But he couldn't say.
Once she said it, it would have no effect except adding to her sorrow.
Defeat is unavoidable, but defeat cannot be avoided. In order not to be defeated, in the face of such a situation, there is only one battlefield that may still have less than 10% hope.
Liu Lang stood in front of the window, feeling depressed most of the time. The map of Songhu was already familiar to him, including the four lines of defense from Songhu to Nanjing. He made countless tactical deductions in his mind, and finally
Found this battlefield.
There is only one place where the Japanese invaders can be held back for a few days, allowing hundreds of thousands of elite troops to retreat. However, once stationed there, it will be a narrow escape.
In the time and space of the past, tens of thousands of soldiers of the 67th Army held out for three days and were almost wiped out. Lieutenant General Wu Keren's martyrdom had already proven that this was the only way for the Songhu army to survive, but it was also the end of the road for the defenders.
It's not that the Chinese soldiers are weak in combat capability, but that the Japanese army on the opposite side has as many as two divisions.
Liu Lang spent several hours on tactical drills to find the key battlefield, but it only took him less than a minute to decide that this is where he wanted to go.
How could you let him say that in such a place of death?
He can only choose to be ruthless.
Love and family affection, in this time of national crisis, can only take a back seat.
The couple hugged each other in silence in this misty morning light.
