Composed. Battle of the State.

The Chinese army invested 98 divisions and more than 1 million people, and the Japanese army invested more than 20 divisions and regiments and hundreds of thousands of people.

In the end, the Japanese army properly beat the Chinese army.

Both sides are far ahead of Japan in terms of industrial strength and military strength, and there is no doubt that they will win.

However, the Japanese side also lost several main divisions, as well as many veterans, and although they were supplemented by new recruits from the base camp, their combat effectiveness began to weaken significantly.

More than one million Chinese soldiers suffered heavy losses, but the waves washed the sand, and all that was left behind were elite.

I have to say that Xu. The state battle was in disguise, gradually narrowing the gap between China and Japan.

Moreover, in terms of population and vast territory, the Japanese side is not comparable to the Chinese side, which has a steady stream of troops and industrial strength, and is gradually improving under the intervention of the Western powers.

Of course, the Western powers did not have any good intentions, hoping that the war between China and Japan would last longer, so that they could benefit from it.

Both the Chinese side and the Japanese side have the shadow of the Western powers standing behind them.

Lin Yang's 585 Brigade, a Class A Brigade of more than 6,000 people, has just been trained. The state battle is over, and next, it's Wu. Battle of Han.

Military. The Battle of Han was the period of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression. A battle between the Han region and the Japanese invading army.

In the 27th year of the Republic of China, from June to October 1938, the troops of China's 5th and 9th theaters were deployed along the north and south banks of the Yangtze River in the periphery of Wuhan. Emblem, river. Nan, Jiang. West, Lake. Vast areas in many provinces such as the north.

It was the largest, longest and most annihilated battle in the strategic defense stage of the War of Resistance Against Japan.

In this battle, the Chinese army fought bloodily, fighting hundreds of large and small, killing and wounding more than 257,000 Japanese soldiers at the cost of more than 40 thousand casualties. It greatly depleted the living forces of the Japanese army.

Although the Japanese army captured Wuhan, its strategic attempt to force the Nationalist government to submit and end the war was not achieved. After that, the war between the two sides entered a phase of strategic stalemate.

Military. The Battle of Han was a real turning point for China to gradually turn from a disadvantage to a level of parity.

Of course. This is also accompanied by the tragic sacrifice of more than 400,000 elite soldiers!

Lin Yang's 585 Brigade was naturally involved in the mighty war.

This time, Chairman Jiang learned to be obedient, and he was no longer as good as the Battle of Songhu and Xu. As in the war, the state capital was about to fight to the death with the Japanese side, and then was beaten.

Chairman Chiang ordered the use of force. Han as the center, build strong fortifications, as the last bulwark. Once the Japanese soldiers approached the city, they concentrated their superior forces and fought a decisive battle with the Japanese army.

This is an inside line.

In addition, divisions and brigades were stationed in various areas to fight against the Japanese army. If the Japanese army comes to attack with heavy troops, they will avoid him and never entangle with the enemy. If the Japanese army turns to attack Wuhan, it will wait for an opportunity to cut off the Japanese army's logistical supply lines, so that it will lose the ability to fight for a long time.

This is the middle line.

Furthermore. Send out a number of elite small units to penetrate deep behind enemy lines. With the support of the broad masses, guerrilla warfare was waged to deplete the living forces of the Japanese army.

This is an outside line.

Lin Yang's 585 Brigade was originally on the inner line. Defend Wuhan and wait for a decisive battle. But he is not an idle lord, and he took the initiative to ask to go to the front line to fight and be stationed in the river. Southern Province, near Songshan.

Most of the divisions and brigades fighting on the central front were near the mountainous areas. It is convenient to avoid the heavy siege of the Japanese army, and you can escape into the mountains, among which Dabie Mountain, Zhongtiao Mountain and so on are the most.

Songshan, but it is also a place that Lin Yang is more familiar with, I think back then, he once went to Songshan Shaolin Temple, competed with sweeping monks, and also went to Songshan faction, sword challenged factions, and overwhelmed the crowd.

However, he didn't expect that leading the 585th Brigade had just entered the river. The southern province was besieged by the Japanese army.

Lin Yang naturally didn't know that the emperor of the Japanese army base camp had already issued an order, no matter what, to kill the 585 Brigade, revive the prestige of the Japanese army, and re-erect the powerful image of the Japanese army.

This time, to his surprise, the 585 Brigade, with more than 6,000 people, fought to the death with tens of thousands of people encircled and suppressed by the Japanese army, and it was absolutely invincible.

Moreover, the Japanese army's spy system is obviously good, and it seems that they already know the news that the 585th Brigade is stationed near Songshan, and the road to Songshan has been blocked.

Now, Lin Yang has two choices, either turn back and go to Wu. Break through in the Han direction, or don't go to Songshan and break through in other directions.

Just retreating back like this, going back with a disgraced face, obviously not Lin Yang's style, he immediately ordered, with the company platoon as a unit, to break through separately, the target, the mountain. West.

The platoon commanders, company commanders, battalion commanders, regiment commanders, staff officers, etc. of the 585 Brigade are all die-hard loyalists who have followed Lin Yang after several battles and passed on the Sacred Heart Formula, and their ability is beyond doubt.

Lin Yang was also more relieved, and after breaking through separately, he led his guard battalion, fought a gap, and went straight to the river. Mountains in the north of the southern province. Western Province.

However, the little devil attached great importance to him, and to Lin Yang's surprise, he led the guard battalion straight to the mountain. West, was chased and intercepted by the little devils.

Those who flew in the sky and ran on the earth came to him.

If it weren't for the hundreds of brothers in the guard battalion, all of whom were masters who had cultivated the Sacred Heart Technique with him, I was afraid that this time it would really be carried on board!

After several twists and turns, Lin Yang did not come to the mountain in the end. Western Province, but by chance, ran all the way to the mountains. The eastern province is all rivers. Critical province of Southern Province.

Composed. After the defeat of the state battle, the national government in the mountains. To's rule completely collapsed, although the Japanese army nominally occupied the mountain. In the whole of the east, due to the lack of manpower, only a few large cities and major transportation lines were controlled.

In the vast countryside, with the manpower of the little devils, even if the puppet army of the "two devils" is added, there is no time to take care of it.

Hence the mountain. Most of the eastern province is in a state of anarchy, and there are people who have made statistics in history. The total strength of the Huidaomen and bandits in the Eastern Province is as high as three million!

It can be seen that the mountains of this era. How chaotic the Eastern Province is, it is better than the chaos of Liangshan Shui in the Song Dynasty.

Night.

Lin Yang led the guard battalion, as well as the members of the 585 Brigade Headquarters and the telecommunications team, to the mountain. In a small village in Eastern Province, I wanted to exchange the ocean for some food, but I was told that the common people had no more money.

Only then did he know that in this era, the mountain. The common people of the east have been miserable by all kinds of guilds and bandits.

These sects and bandit armies are even more harmful to the common people than the little devils, and almost every family in every village and town has no good left, and life is almost unbearable.

In such a situation, Lin Yang couldn't help but sigh, damn it, he was chased all the way by the little devil, and now he can't even stutter! (To be continued......)
