Chapter 497: The Times Are Difficult, Determined to Give Up
Yucheng, Jiang's office villa
Jiang was working on documents in the office, and the door of the office was wide open at this time, and from time to time, an officer hurriedly walked in to report the battle situation to Jiang someone.
Jiang was in the office from time to time watching the battle reports sent from all over the country, and some sweat gradually flowed from his forehead, but he didn't have time to wipe the sweat at all.
"Commission, commission!"
At this moment, an anxious voice suddenly remembered and came from a distance.
Before the man arrived, the voice came.
Yu Jishi strode into the office and said anxiously: "Commission, it's not good!" ”
"Liangzhen, what's wrong with making you so anxious? Slowly, the sky can't fall yet! Although Jiang also chuckled in his heart when he heard Yu Jishi's words, he knew that he must not mess up at this time, so he forcibly calmed himself down and asked in a deep voice.
Hearing this, Yu Jishi also took a deep breath to calm down his somewhat panicked mood, and then said: "Commission, news has been sent from the rear, the Japanese army has dispatched three divisions to put pressure on our southern port at sea, and it has landed from Guangdong Province, and the main forces of the Guangdong system have been drawn out to fight in Wuhan, and it is difficult to return for a while, and now Guangdong Province ...... Fear...... It's gone! ”
"What!"
Hearing this, even Jiang couldn't help but shake his hands, and a look of disbelief appeared on his face.
"Is the evidence conclusive?" Jiang couldn't help but ask again.
"This is a message from the Cantonese department, and it can be said that it is confirmed! It is said that the three divisions of the Japanese army have occupied most of Guangdong Province, and the Cantonese troops stationed in Guangdong Province are retreating one after another, and they are unable to stop the Japanese attack! Yu Jishi said in a deep voice.
Hearing this, Jiang someone's face showed some miserable whiteness, and it could even be said that there was no trace of blood!
No one thought that Guangdong Province would be occupied by the Japanese army!
The little devil's hand was a trick that hit their vital point, making Jiang someone's brain blank for a moment, and there was not the slightest blood on his face.
Because there are ports in Guangdong Province, the military supplies from outside reinforcements are basically transported from the southern ports of Guangdong Province and other places, which can support them to continue fighting, and it can be said that the ports in Guangdong Province are their lifeline!
Battle of Wuhan Chiang mobilized a million heavy troops to fight against the Japanese army, a large part of which was to hold Canton Province.
didn't expect that the Japanese army would actually play such a trick.
On the surface, heavy troops were mobilized to fight them, but behind the scenes, three divisions were mobilized to land and attack Guangdong Province!
Since most of the main forces of the Cantonese army in Guangdong Province had already been transferred to support the Battle of Wuhan, the progress of the Japanese army's sneak attack on Guangdong Province was unexpectedly smooth, and the Guangdong Province area fell in less than half a month.
And it is only now that the news of the fall of Guangdong Province has come!
"What are you going to do?" Yu Jishi pondered his tone for a moment, and then asked cautiously.
Hearing this, Jiang did not answer immediately, but walked to the map with the wall and looked at the map carefully, with a complicated look on his face.
On the map, the war zone of China and Japan at this time is clearly marked.
The whole country, most of the north has fallen under the occupation of the Japanese army, and the south, now Guangdong Province has also been lost, and the battle of Wuhan is also in danger!
"It's a tough time!" After watching it for a long time, Jiang let out a sigh of emotion.
Then he turned his head and said to Yu Jishi: "Guangdong Province has fallen, and there is no point in holding on to Wuhan, and it will only increase casualties if you hold on!" ”
"Commission...... Do you want to give up Wuhan? Yu Jishi asked hesitantly.
"Is there any other way?" Jiang sighed and said in a deep voice: "Henan Province is lost, and the strategic significance and important geographical location of Wuhan are of course gone!" If we continue to hold on, it will only increase casualties! Besides, at the current Battle of Wuhan, the Japanese army has broken through in three ways, approaching the Wuhan Heavy Land, and the battle situation is erosive, how easy is it to save it? ”
Jiang said: "Give up! Wuhan has no meaning! In this situation, the most important thing is to preserve the vitality! Deliver my orders and get the troops ready to retreat! ”
Hearing this, Yu Jishi said with some hesitation: "If you retreat at this time, I'm afraid that the soldiers on the front line will be in an uproar!" After all, after fighting until now, there are no casualties, but they are evacuated like this, so unclear, I'm afraid it will be difficult to convince the public! ”
"Preserve the vitality of the army, so as to better fight the Japanese army in the future, and leave the green mountains without worrying about running out of firewood, but if it is a hero fighting the Japanese army head-on at this time, it is said to be strong, but it is only the courage of a horseman, but it is not wise to fall into the country and be in danger!" Jiang said: "This is where the country's righteousness and general trend lie!" What's more, the retreat is also for a better attack later! If there is no such thing to endure humiliation and bear the burden to preserve the vitality, how can there be a chance to counterattack the Japanese army in the future and win the battle? ”
"Could it be that because of a Wuhan sticking here, my country's million-strong army will be directly exhausted at one time? This is probably exactly what the Japanese army wants to see! ”
Speaking of this, Jiang couldn't help but sigh and said in a deep voice: "Retreat is not what I want, I don't want to retreat, I don't want to retreat like this!" But...... There is no way! ”
"I'm sure the soldiers will understand my painstaking efforts!"
Speaking of this, Jiang stopped talking, with a tired look on his face, and directly waved his hand, signaling that Yu Jishi could go out!
Yu Jishi originally wanted to say something, but after hearing this sentence, he couldn't say what he originally wanted to say!
I opened my mouth, but in the end I didn't say anything!
In the end, he could only nod and said in a deep voice: "Since the commission has been decided, then I will go to convey the telegram?" ”
"Go, go, go......"
Jiang said three times in a row, so you can see how determined Jiang was when he made this decision!
At the very least, to be able to hear the order to abandon Wuhan from the mouth of someone Jiang requires a great deal of determination!
After all, it can be expected that once Wuhan is abandoned, it will inevitably bear the infamy! If it's just to bear the infamy, it's light, but the most important thing is that once Wuhan is lost, the next situation will be even more confusing!
Looking at the back of Yu Jishi's departure, Jiang couldn't help but sigh: "The situation is difficult......
