Chinese After more than three months of 10,000 people fighting, the large-scale migration and settlement project led by He Xiaojun is nearing completion.

In this settlement project, thousands of simple thatched huts were built in the mountains near the canyon, nearly 1,000 acres of paddy fields and hundreds of acres of mountain fields were opened, and food crops such as rice and sweet potatoes were planted.

At the same time, the pigs, chickens, fish and other meat and livestock originally raised by Chencun Farm have not only not been reduced, but also expanded in scale, taking into account the food supply for 10,000 people. However, this expansion, considering that the target is too large and easy to be exposed, did not concentrate on the breeding area.

Platoon Commander Liu and his team have also completed the deployment of defenses in this new "refugee settlement"; they have not only set up sentry posts and blocking bunkers in some dangerous places, but have also formulated a perfect evacuation plan after investigation and research, and have dredged up several passages that are sufficient for the evacuation of the brigade.

At the end of this project, the provincial capital of He Xiaojun, an important town in South China, fell.

On October 11, 1938, more than 70,000 Japanese troops and 27,000 horses successfully landed in Daya Bay on the provincial coast near Hong Kong.

At that time, the troops deployed in Guangdong were the 12th Group Army led by Yu Hanmou, which was defeated by the Japanese army in only 10 days. In desperation, Yu Hanmou ordered the defenders of the provincial capital to retreat, and the provincial capital fell on the afternoon of the 21st.

In the face of this situation, the first command learned the lessons of last year's defense of Nanjing, did not do a lonely city, and decided to quickly abandon Wuhan.

On October 25, the Japanese occupied Hankou, the next day Wuchang, and on the 27th Hanyang. After more than four months, the Battle of Wuhan, the largest and longest battle in the strategic defense stage of the War of Resistance against Japan, which destroyed the most enemies, ended because of the fall of the provincial capital, so that the entire War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression entered a stage of strategic stalemate.

He Xiaojun The provincial capital of his province, as the first important town in South China and an important port in China, fell quickly in just 10 days, first, because of the strategic error of the ** command; Second, the defenders' defense was lax, and they did not even have the slightest mental preparation for war.

After the fall of Qingdao, Shanghai and other places, the provincial capital became the most important port in China.

However, before the fall of the provincial capital, Chiang Kai-shek, the commander-in-chief of the army, had always made extremely wrong judgments about the enemy's possible strategic policy of attacking, and had overestimated the strength of Britain at that time, believing that although the Japanese army was trying to attack South China, it had some scruples about Britain and did not dare to threaten Hong Kong excessively.

Moreover, Chiang Kai-shek also believed that the Japanese army had already done its best in the battle of Wuhan, and it was impossible to spare troops to fight in other directions.

The Cantonese army, which had been repeatedly transferred due to this mistake, actually controlled only about 60,000 troops before the fall. This number of troops, distributed on a 300-kilometer-long front, was indeed not so easy to resist in the face of a combined attack by sea, land, and air from a powerful enemy, which was one of the reasons for the rapid fall of the provincial capital.

However, although the Japanese army attacking the provincial capital was superior to the defenders in terms of weapons and number of soldiers, the defenders' army of tens of thousands, plus the police force in various places, and the armed force of more than 100,000, could not have lost an important domestic town in a short period of time.

After digging into this matter, it has a great deal to do with the paralysis of the defenders and the poor organization of the generals.

As a matter of fact, before the Japanese army invaded, Zeng and his colleagues had already intercepted the Japanese army's intelligence by cracking the code seized during the special high school class, and knew that the Japanese army had assembled two army divisions, about 30 naval vessels, and about 70 or 80 air force planes of various kinds in Taiwan, and was about to attack Guangdong.

It is a pity that the military and political personnel of the Guangdong government at that time were still skeptical of this information, and some people even had the illusion of "using razing to defeat razing," believing that Japan would not dare to excessively provoke Britain to invade South China, which is adjacent to Hong Kong, for the time being, so they did not make any military vigilance, and commanders at all levels had no sense of hostility, and allowed their subordinate officials at all levels to leave the defensive areas and go to Guangzhou, Hong Kong, and other places.

It is said that it was not until the evening of 10 October that the enemy naval vessels were discovered gathering in the waters of Daya Bay, and the division commander of the defending army made a hasty telephone call to Guangzhou and Hong Kong to ask the movie theaters to show subtitles and inform his officers to return to the defense as soon as possible. What is even more absurd is that it is said that a brigade commander of the division stationed in Shenzhen was playing with a certain hostess of the Yingjing restaurant in Hong Kong that night and forgot to return.

The unguarded engagement, coupled with the chaotic organization, of course, had no combat power at all, so that the prepared Japanese army was like a bamboo, and it was advancing all the way.

What is even more infuriating is that the military and political leaders of the provincial capital, when the Japanese invaders approached the provincial capital, did not think about how to defend the city, but first thought of escaping, and a few days before the Japanese invaders entered the provincial capital, they had already fled the provincial capital first, and withdrew all their troops, leaving the provincial capital in a state of vacuum, allowing the Japanese invaders to fish and meat.

What is also unbelievable is that when the troops in the provincial capital withdrew, more than 200 guns were thrown away, and only 1 of the 12 anti-aircraft guns deployed in the provincial capital was evacuated, which shows the chaos of the army's retreat at that time.

When the news of the rapid fall of Guangzhou came out, the whole country was in an uproar, and the Cantonese people were surging in anger, and they rallied one after another to ask the government to kill Yu Hanmou and other Guangdong military and political governors to thank the people and calm the anger of the people.

He Xiaojun, who is familiar with history, knows that in fact, although Yu Hanmou and others are guilty of poor defense, in the final analysis, the culprit of this matter is still the first commander Chiang Kai-shek.

Because according to later historical restoration, the inside story of Guangzhou's abandonment is: Yu Hanmou had already made it of course, and these inside facts were only known to He Xiaojun, a person who came from the afterworld, and even Mayor Xie, the local supreme governor at that time, did not know the inside story.

The fall of the provincial capital naturally caused many people in the provincial capital to flee with their families. These fleeing provincial people could only walk along the south where the war had not yet spread, so Ningcheng, south of the provincial capital, also accepted many people from the provincial capital who were from Haishan or not from the local capital.

From the mouths of these provincial people, the people of Ningcheng felt the imminence of war for the first time.

All along, although it has been known that many parts of the country are full of wolves, because the places where the war took place are thousands of miles away from the seamount, the people of the seamount have not yet felt the urgency of the war.

The provincial capital is only more than 100 kilometers away from the sea and mountains, and when I heard that the people who fled from the provincial capital said that the Japanese army did not use planes, warships, automobiles, and other mobile vehicles, and it only took half a day to attack Ningcheng on horseback, the people in Ningcheng really panicked and really felt the imminence of war.

The refugees also described to the people of Ningcheng the terrible situation of the heavy bombing of the provincial capital by Japanese planes, saying that in the provincial capital alone, several thousand innocent civilians had been killed and nearly 10,000 civilians had been injured.

The refugees also described to the people of Ningcheng the scene they saw all the way to the refugees, saying that from time to time on the roadside along the way, they saw hungry and sick people lying on the side of the road, including adults and children, and they didn't know whether the people who fell to the ground were dead or alive.

After hearing the cruelty of the war described by these people who had experienced the situation, the people of Ningcheng began to be afraid and panicked, and hurriedly put the mobilization of the government that had been indifferent to evacuate the city on the agenda, and immediately began to prepare to escape the coming terrible war.

Of course, there are still some people who have a wait-and-see attitude. The idea of these people is that Ningcheng is not a big city, and the geographical location of Haishan is a corner of the country, so the Japanese army should not invade such a place.

It's a pity that the luck of these people was quickly shattered, and a few days after the fall of the provincial capital, there was a trace of Japanese invaders in Chancheng. Then, news of the Japanese invasion also came from the South China Sea. These two places are closer to the seamount than the provincial capital, that is, the iron hooves of the Japanese army are closer to the seamount. Cat flutter Chinese
