Wuhan Battle General Headquarters

"What! What did you say? The commission said that he wanted to retreat? Chen Cheng listened to what the staff officer said, with a look of disbelief on his face, and said with some disbelief.

"Yes, the committee said that Guangdong Province has been lost, there is no need for Wuhan to continue to hold on, its strategic significance has been lost, in order to preserve our vital forces, the troops will retreat on all fronts to wait for the coming day!" The officer said in a deep voice.

"Isn't this nonsense!" Hearing this, Rao is Chen Cheng couldn't help but scold, with a look of anger on his face.

"Commander-in-chief, be careful!" Hearing this, the staff officer's face suddenly changed greatly, and he hurriedly said.

Hearing this, Chen Cheng also knew that he was speechless, and knew that he was out of shape, so he quickly took a deep breath, forcibly calmed himself, and then said in a hard voice: "Millions of soldiers have fought bloodily for four months, but in the end, they got this result?" How can this be willing! ”

"What if you are unwilling? Guangdong Province has been lost, if Wuhan continues to hold on, the end will be surrounded by the Japanese army, and then a million troops will be annihilated by the Japanese army, the country's vital forces will be exhausted, and the country will no longer have the strength to resist? The officer also said unwillingly.

But what if you are unwilling?

And what can be done?

The situation is already like this, who can change it?

There is no way to change it!

How could Chen Cheng not know this truth? But just give up, retreat like this, let the four months of bloodshed and sacrifice of millions of soldiers almost burn to the ground, who can come willingly?

Who can really swallow this breath?

Chen Cheng slammed his fist on the table in front of him, with a look of unwillingness on his face.

"Commander-in-Chief...... I know you're upset, but...... This is the only way out! The officer then said, "What is the willingness to give this order?" But he still ordered it! Isn't it uncomfortable to sit down? ”

"The million-strong army worked hard for four months, but in the end it was evacuated in embarrassment, are millions of soldiers willing? No one is reconciled! But for the sake of the country, for the sake of the overall situation, you must be willing if you are unwilling! If you can't swallow it, you have to swallow it! In the face of the interests of the country, anyone can sacrifice and anyone can abandon it! Any city needs to give up as a last resort! ”

"Retreat and retreat are sometimes a shame, but isn't it an opportunity? Yue Wang Goujian lay down and tasted the courage in the end, 3,000 Yue Jia swallowed Wu, today I waited for a million troops to endure humiliation and bear the burden to preserve the strength of the retreat, and why not to preserve the strength in order to return from the counterattack in the future? ”

"If Goujian, the king of Yue, rose up to resist the anger of Pifu, how could the three thousand Yuejia swallow Wu in the future? If we were to fight to the death against the Japanese army at this time, once the million army was lost, how would we face the Japanese attack later? ”

"Commander-in-chief, you have to calm down! Everything is for the country, for the future! The officer said bitterly!

Hearing this, Chen Cheng was speechless for a long time.

The entire general headquarters also fell into silence, and the originally noisy headquarters also quietly fell silent at this time.

The staff officers and officers in the headquarters were all standing in place at this time, looking at Chen Cheng silently, with tears in their eyes.

When Chen Cheng raised his head and met this gaze, his heart, which was still angry, suddenly trembled.

If you want to say angry, although he is angry, the most angry must be these soldiers who are fighting on the front line!

At this time, these staff officers in the command headquarters all stood up one by one and looked at Chen Cheng silently, but a seven-foot man left tears at this time, how can this situation not move people's hearts?

"You ...... This is? Chen Cheng opened his mouth and asked with some confusion.

"Commander-in-chief! We know you're bitter! You are not reconciled! We are also not reconciled! We don't want to either! But...... For the sake of the big picture, we are willing to swallow this breath! We are willing to bear the burden of humiliation and wait for the future! ”

"So ......" When he said this, several staff officers took a deep breath, and then said in unison: "Please give the order of the commander-in-chief and let the troops evacuate!" ”

"Please give the commander-in-chief the order to let the troops evacuate!"

Hearing this, looking at this person, Chen Cheng's lips moved, wanting to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything.

He forcibly suppressed the tears that he wanted to shed, stood up blatantly, solemnly saluted a standard military salute to everyone present, his face was solemn, and then turned his head, no longer daring to look at them, his eyes were gradually blurred, but he still said in a hard voice: "Everyone listen to my orders!" ”

"Smack!"

At the sound of the order, all of them immediately stood upright, held their heads high, pricked up their ears, and waited for Chen Cheng's military order.

"Order all the troops to retreat immediately, retreat in an orderly manner according to the order given, but it is necessary to be careful that anyone who dares to act without authorization or leave early and then cause a disorderly retreat will be immediately killed!"

"Order all units to leave their respective battlefields immediately, avoid their edges, abandon Wuhan, and withdraw to the southwest!"

"Order all departments to cooperate and cooperate, not to harm friendly troops and not to frame friendly troops, otherwise once discovered, they will be immediately killed!"

"Order the ...... of the Ministries"

One after another orders came out of Chen Cheng's mouth, and every staff officer saluted solemnly when he received the order, and then took the order and sent a telegram.

Although it was a retreat, the general command at this time was full of slaughter, not only did not have the slightest depression, but also had a high fighting spirit!

It's like a fire, it's burning!

This fire, although it is still very small, is almost predictable, and it only needs a gust of wind to blow, and the wind will help the fire, and it will take off at once!

Everyone is suppressing their anger, and if they can't vent their anger, they will only become more and more suppressed in the end, and once it comes to his outburst, it will definitely cause a shock of clustering!

Yes, no one doubts!

When the order was issued, the troops participating in the war in Wuhan were stunned for a while, they were not reconciled, and even scolded their superiors for being a fool, and some troops even thought that this was a fake message intercepted by the Japanese army.

But after being confirmed, everyone was silent!

Their hearts were full of unwillingness and anger, but in the end they reluctantly accepted this reality!

Because they know that there is no point in holding on! Instead of consuming all the living power here, it is better to endure humiliation and bear the burden to preserve your strength and accumulate strength for future outbreaks!

At this moment, although countless soldiers were angry and unwilling, they all silently obeyed the order and withdrew from their respective battlefields.

From the battlefield where they held out for months, killing and wounding countless comrades...... Leave!
