Chapter 465: The Choice (I)
Gu Zhutong's eyebrows lifted suddenly: "Order the Tenth Army to garrison outside Jinhua, and the other troops will immediately be thrown into the attack on the devil's army, and it is best to destroy this devil's army in the shortest possible time." ”
Gu Zhutong's idea of retreating disappeared in an instant, and now he wanted to annihilate this devil's army even more.
Because the previous battle was too smooth, now Gu Zhutong's troops no longer have the fear of devils, but are enthusiastic.
However, they didn't know that this was simply a trap set by the devils, and this devil's divisional and regimental-level troops were not something they could easily annihilate at all.
When the officers and soldiers of the Third Theater of the Central Army frantically launched a fierce attack on the stubborn devil soldiers, the city of Hangzhou had already fallen into the hands of the devil's troops.
Gu Zhutong's troops left in Hangzhou were only 6,000 people, a C-level division, how could it withstand the attack of the devil's elite division, plus the devil's troops had a large number of naval artillery support, and soon the troops in the city were directly dispersed.
After the dispersal, the devil's troops immediately rushed to the rear of Gu Zhutong's troops in the east, and it was obvious that these devils were preparing to give the officers and soldiers of the Third War Zone of the Central Army a front and rear attack.
At the same time, the troops in the third theater were still fiercely attacking the division left behind by Yoshio Shinozuka.
At this time, the more they fought, the more they felt powerless to advance, the devil's troops desperately resisted, and at the same time, the attack of the Central Army's troops became weaker and weaker, even if his strength was more than ten times that of the devil.
And on the morning of this day, suddenly patches of black dots flew in the gloomy sky in the east, and when these black dots approached, Gu Zhu and his officers and soldiers found that they were all devil fighters and bombers.
Sudden ...... Knock knock knock...... Boom Boom Boom ......
Attack planes, fighter-bombers, and three or four hundred devil's planes poured fire on the troops in the third theater as if they had gone crazy, and the soldiers who were attacking the devil's position killed and injured many people with ferocious fire before they even reacted.
"Withdraw, withdraw...... Withdraw ...... "In the face of the bombing of the devil's planes, the officers had almost no ability to resist at all, and they did not even have the most basic anti-aircraft weapons.
Each of the powerful aerial bombs can blow up a huge crater several meters in the ground, and once it falls into the middle of the soldiers, dozens of soldiers will disappear without a trace.
The fighters and attack planes of those devils were like eagles swooping down, spilling a barrage of bullets, but any Chinese soldier in front of that chain of bullets would immediately be shattered by the powerful aviation machine guns.
The officers' faces changed, and he finally understood that the devil's reinforcements had arrived.
And just when he was panicking and wanted to escape, he suddenly heard a roar in the distance, and suddenly his face changed greatly, he knew that soon they and the devil's roles would be reversed, and then it was likely that the devil would chase them.
"It's over......, it's over," Gu Zhutong's face turned pale.
He knew that he must have fallen for the devil's tricks.
"Bastard Qin Feng, why don't you make it clear to me, why don't you make it clear? Bastard, it must be Qin Feng's conspiracy, it must be Qin Feng's conspiracy. Gu Zhutong roared angrily in his heart, if this army suffered heavy losses in the battle with the devil, then his reputation would be ruined.
The prestige accumulated over the past decade or so is likely to be lost by this campaign.
He didn't reflect on his mistakes, but pressed all this on Qin Feng's head, he thought that Qin Feng was estimating and framing him.
If Qin Feng heard his words here, he would definitely slap him hard, Qin Feng had already told him at the time that if he pursued, then he would probably be surrounded by devils, but for the sake of military merit and Gu Zhutong's personal interests, he still brought his troops to this place, and finally there was such a situation.
This is a very infuriating thing.
"Commander, Commander......" Just when Gu Zhutong was panicking in his heart, suddenly an adjutant also rushed in.
Gu Zhutong's face changed again, and he knew that something else must have happened again.
"What's wrong, what's wrong? Say it? Gu Zhutong's eyes widened, and his heart was full of horror.
This is an army of 100,000 people, and now that the back road has been cut off, even if it can rush out, it will definitely suffer heavy losses.
At the same time, they will also face the devil's air force and tanks, which can be said to be extremely dangerous.
"Commander, devil, devil has occupied Hangzhou, and our back road has been cut off." The adjutant who ran over had a panicked face on his face, and said to Gu Zhutong tremblingly.
Smack......
Gu Zhutong sat down in his seat weakly, this news was like a bolt from the blue for him.
"Quick, order the front-line troops to resist the devil to the death, and call me all the division-level commanders." Gu Zhutong knew at this time that he knew that he had to come up with a way as soon as possible, and he definitely couldn't sit still here.
Soon a panicked officer walked in, each of them with horror on their faces.
"Commander" Gu Zhutong endured the horror in his heart, and pretended to be calm on the surface.
He is a veteran officer who has been famous for a long time, and naturally knows that the more times like this, the more he must stabilize his heart.
If he shows a panicked appearance, then it is likely to shake the morale of the army and lead to a complete rout of the entire army.
He is not Tang Shengzhi, Tang Shengzhi is a half-ass, so it led to the complete defeat of the original defense of Nanjing, but Gu Zhutong at least has extremely professional military knowledge, and knows that the more dangerous it is, the more panic will bring him greater danger.
"Ladies and gentlemen, we have fallen for the tricks of the devils, what should we do now?" Gu Zhutong looked at the many officers around him, and at this time, he had to brainstorm to be able to break out of the encirclement.
The officers were silent, looking at the huge map of the area hanging behind the headquarters, their eyes were full of anxiety and horror, and they all knew that they had to find a way as soon as possible, otherwise it would be absolutely difficult to survive.
No one wants to die on the battlefield, but no one wants to be a traitor and a lackey.
But the forest is big after all, there are all kinds of birds, and just after Gu Zhutong finished speaking, an officer stood up.
Gu Zhutong's face sank slightly.
Standing up was the commander of the 137th Division, this was the general of the Northwest Army under Feng Yuxiang, this Northwest Army and the Northwest Army at this time were not at all an army system, and they were defected to the Central Army when the major warlords were fighting in the Central Plains.
This person has not been paid much attention to in the Central Army, after all, the Central Army is essentially Lao Chiang's private army, mainly based on Huangpu Sheng.
"Commander, our back road has been cut off now, why don't we negotiate peace with the devil? Now that Mr. Wang Jingwei and Mr. Wang have assumed the post of chairman of the People's Republic of China, we will definitely be welcomed if we take refuge in the past, and we can also implement the curve to save the country. The division-level officer looked at Gu Zhutong and said loudly.
He knows Gu Zhutong very well, because as long as this battle is lost, then Gu Zhutong's reputation for more than ten years will be absolutely over, even if Lao Jiang doesn't deal with him when he goes back, it will reduce his military power, he believes that a senior general who has controlled hundreds of thousands of troops for more than ten years will definitely not want to return to that point, so he stood up at this time.
