"Battalion commander, let the brothers prepare for retreat!"

From the fragmentary information he obtained, Leng Jie had already analyzed the approximate ending, and the Battle of Songhu was no longer able to fight.

Historically, the retreat of the Battle of Songhu can be described as a rout, in addition to the three and a half divisions commanded by Yanagawa Heisuke, the Japanese army also launched a landing at Baimaokou, which was undoubtedly worse for the hundreds of thousands of national troops who retreated in a hurry.

In the end, it directly led to a great rout, and in the retreat, the Japanese army suffered very few casualties and inflicted heavy losses on many Chinese troops.

It was not that the national army did not make a retreat plan, but the retreat was too hasty, and they all rushed to flee for their lives, and there were not many troops left to block the attack. Moreover, most of the so-called defense lines of the Wufu Line and the Xicheng Line are useless and have not been well used at all.

In such a situation, if Leng Jie and the others were not prepared, they would definitely be extremely panicked when the order to retreat came.

"Not really!" Li Hong was a little unconvinced.

"Battalion commander, this battle is gone. The military map I got back at the beginning is true, the Japanese army landed in Jinshanwei, battalion commander, do you think that the Chinese army in the Songhu battlefield at this time still has the strength to resist the more than 100,000 Japanese troops? Leng Jie asked rhetorically.

Li Hong couldn't help but be silent, as one of the best-equipped troops, their tax police corps fought so hard.

Those miscellaneous armies suffered even more, how could they be able to stop the Japanese army of the tiger and wolf division.

"We don't have the order to retreat now, it's not appropriate to retreat at this time. Moreover, Chief Sun is still being treated in Shanghai, so we can't leave Chief Sun in Shanghai! Thinking of Sun Liren, Li Hong shook his head at Leng Jie's suggestion.

"I don't mean to retreat now, to retreat without an order, that's desertion. However, we can send the wounded with limited mobility first, so that even if we do retreat, we can have a lot less burden.

Otherwise, if the big retreat really begins, what will happen to these wounded? It's impossible to stay and die! ”

Although what Leng Jie said made sense, Li Hong didn't dare to make a decision now, which was related to the future of the entire Fourth Regiment.

After thinking about it for a while, he decided to go to Sun Liren and ask for Sun Liren's instructions.

At this time, Sun Liren was out of danger and woke up, but his injuries were serious, and he couldn't recover at all without a few months of recuperation.

After Sun Liren heard this, he hesitated for a while and said, "Just follow Leng Jie's suggestion and send those seriously injured away first, how many people are there?" ”

"Report to the sir, there are a total of 736 wounded who are unable to move, and there are 1,067 people left to continue fighting."

"Send it away. It's true that this battle can't be fought anymore, but I don't understand why the high command hasn't given the order to retreat yet, it's too late to retreat, it's too late. Sun Liren was puzzled.

Leng Jie wanted to solve Sun Liren's doubts, but Sun Liren was not in a good state at this time, and it was not suitable to speak for too long. Moreover, he is a small officer, and it is not appropriate to speak ill of Lao Chiang, the leader of the country, in front of a general.

"Sir, what are you going to do?" Li Hong worried.

"I'm fine, as long as the officers and soldiers of the Tax Police Corps are safe." Sun Liren shook his head and motioned to his subordinates not to worry.

Leng Jie thought of a way, "You can find Minister Song, he should have a way." ”

Minister Song is Song Ziwen, and the other party was the Minister of Finance of the National Government before, but unfortunately he has been forced to resign, and there are also reasons for the Tax Police Corps.

It can be said that the tax police corps is Song Ziwen's hard work, and Sun Liren is also a general that Song Ziwen is more optimistic about.

Even if the other party has resigned, as the head of the Song family, the four major families, it is still easy to take Sun Liren out of Shanghai.

After thinking of a way to solve his worries, Li Hong began to secretly send away the wounded soldiers who were unable to move according to Sun Liren's order.

According to Leng Jie's meaning, it is not possible to send it to Nanjing, so it can be transported directly through the Yangtze River to Wuhan. I believe that Song Ziwen must have a way to dredge up the relationship, and he is not afraid that the other party will not care, this is the army he has built up single-handedly, and he does not believe that the other party is willing to see the entire tax police corps wiped out.

Without these wounded soldiers, even if they retreat, there would be no burden.

The actions of the Tax Police Corps did not hide from everyone, but they didn't think much about it when they saw that they were only transporting the wounded.

At this time, not all the troops in the Songhu battlefield knew about the Japanese army's large-scale landing in Jinshanwei, but some people still knew.

Han Bin is one of them.

Knowing that the Japanese army had landed in Jinshanwei, Han Bin immediately called Wang Chengpeng, Liu Yue, Mingshan Daochang and others.

As for Han Bin's words, few people believed him and thought he was alarmist.

"You really have to believe me, Shanghai really can't stay any longer. The Japanese army has already begun to go around the rear, and when the time comes, we will not be able to go even if we want to. ”

"Han Bin, you are greedy for life and afraid of death, I didn't expect that I, Wang Chengpeng, saw the wrong person!" Wang Chengpeng thought that he had made the wrong friend, and he felt very uncomfortable.

"What? You say I'm greedy for life and afraid of death? I am greedy for life and afraid of death, I will not return to China, I will not follow you on the front line to rescue the wounded, and I will say that I am greedy for life and afraid of death! If I didn't want to see you die in vain, I could have just left! ”

Hearing Wang Chengpeng's words, Han Bin was angry and very emotional, is this 'a dog bites Lu Dongbin, and he doesn't know the hearts of good people'?

Liu Yue hurriedly grabbed him and persuaded the two, "Wang Chengpeng, although I don't know how to fight, I know that Han Bin is definitely not a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death. ”

"So what is he doing now? Funk! Isn't this greed for life and fear of death? Seeing that Liu Yue was still helping Han Bin speak, the jealousy suddenly soared.

"A few of them..."

Daoist Mingshan wanted to interject, but the two of them were emotional, so he had no chance to interject at all, and he was interrupted several times.

At this moment, news suddenly came from the street.

"Three and a half divisions of the Japanese army landed in Jinshanwei, and Jinshan County was lost!"

"The Japanese army has invaded Songjiang, and Songjiang is in danger!"

"Extra, extra..."

I don't know how, but suddenly the news of the large-scale landing of the Japanese army spread, as if it was premeditated.

However, at this time, Han Bin and the others didn't have time to care about how these news came out, it was the government and the army that worried about it, not ordinary people like them.

Hearing these news, Han Bin and the others, who were arguing, quieted down suddenly, and Wang Chengpeng looked at Han Bin even more embarrassedly, not knowing what to say.

"Now you believe it, right? There were no troops on the Songjiang side, so they couldn't stop the Japanese army at all. Maybe in two days, the Japanese army will invade the downtown area of Shanghai, do you think you will stay at this time? ”

In the face of Han Bin's rhetorical question, several people were silent.

At this time, under the influence of Japanese spies, the news of the large-scale landing of the Japanese army spread throughout the urban area of Shanghai, and both ordinary citizens and the military heard the news.

For a while, the people of Shanghai were panicked!
