Chapter 114: Chairman Chiang's Careful Thoughts
The earth is vast, and the cold wind is howling.
In the second half of the night, it suddenly began to snow, first sporadically, then it became heavier and heavier, and by the time the sky was getting brighter, the sky and the earth were already silvery.
This is really a land soaked in bitter water.
Looking down from the sky, you can see people and refugees who were chased and slaughtered by the Japanese army everywhere, and the smoke of gunpowder is everywhere, and the flames of war are gradually engulfing the people who are known for their kindness, hard work, and meekness.
When the war came, the Chinese discovered that these qualities, which they had always been proud of, seemed so ridiculous in front of the butcher's knife.
So, finally someone picked up a knife and gun and began to resist.
Braving the wind and snow, a long team carrying the oars to the mountains, in the edge of the mountains and forests, more than 10,000 troops, is marching towards the tiger killing, in the back of the field, Lu Yuan with the team, in the mountains and mountains, beacon fire, the country, the army in the battle between the fortifications, ready to meet a new round of battle.
General Tang Shengzhi came to Nanjing and delivered a shocking speech, he ordered the destruction of all the boats that crossed the river and evacuated, and swore to fight with the troops he led and the people of the entire city of Nanjing, and swore to live and die with Nanjing!
Chairman Chiang was organizing the Battle of Wuhan in Wuhan at this moment.
Wuhan is the thoroughfare of the nine provinces, which is of greater strategic and military significance.
In the view of the top military officials, after the fall of Shanghai, the Japanese army went on three roads, the Changzhou Jiangyin defense line was already in danger, and Tang Shizun's troops could not hold the Wuhu line, the navy had been completely disabled, and there was no capital to stop the Japanese warships from going upriver through the Yangtze River, Yuhuatai may be the only place that could be defended, and it can be said that Nanjing is a lonely city.
It was impossible to hold Nanjing, so no one wanted to go, but Tang Shengzhi did, and Chairman Chiang agreed.
The reason why Chairman Chiang agreed to General Tang to go to Nanjing is actually very easy to understand.
Under his order not to resist, Zhang Xueliang handed over the three northeastern provinces to the Japanese, I don't know how many people poked him in the back, if he handed over Nanjing to the Japanese without letting go of another shot, he estimated that the people's hearts would be lost!
Therefore, he knew that Nanjing could not be defended, so he had to send someone to defend it, even if it was purely for pretending!
Therefore, many ** senior generals scolded Tang Shengzhi for being stupid behind his back, because he wanted to defend a lonely city that was destined to be undefended, and volunteered to carry the black cauldron that should have belonged to Chairman Jiang.
Tang Shengzhi stood at the head of the city in the face of scattered snowflakes, looking at the people in the city, looking at the old, weak, sick and disabled troops, these people were all troops whose souls were broken by the Japanese army, and a sense of pathos arose in his heart.
Everyone was not optimistic that he could hold on, and he himself did not believe it.
But he felt that he would definitely be able to fight a magnificent battle with the Japanese army, he was a soldier, he longed to be strong, he hoped that he could take these old, weak, sick and disabled people to fight the glory and blood of soldiers, and let the Japanese know that the Chinese are not easy to bully!
He looked at the boats burning in the flames by the river, the overlord of Chu broke the cauldron and fought against the water, arousing the desperate heart of his subordinates, he hoped that his move would allow these troops to fight this battle with the Japanese army with the same heart as himself!
Even if he loses, he can deal a severe blow to the arrogance of the Japanese army!
However, he completely ignored how weak a unit that had lost its military soul and a unit that had been beaten was afraid.
What's even more terrifying is that when everyone decided to fight desperately because they had to die, the respected Chairman Chiang would fall out in a faint move, completely disintegrating the last trace of the army's fighting spirit, and then nailing him to the pillar of shame in history.
In the mountains, snowflakes flew, and the lead-gray sky seemed to be about to fall.
It was nearly dusk, and a procession of several hundred people finally appeared not far from the mountain range.
"Stop!"
Lu Yuan raised his fist high, and then clenched it fiercely, and the veterans let the tacit roar and let the team stop.
Everyone collapsed to the ground almost immediately, gasping violently, and the whole team had been on the ground since dawn, and even ate at noon, and now it had already reached its limit.
"That's where the road leads to the wolf's tooth village, and it's here that we encountered the vanguard of the Japanese army!"
The lone wolf said: "We fled all the way from here, met the Japanese army all the way, and only a few of us survived in the end out of more than 50 people."
"Let everyone rest, stay put, lone wolf, Lao Yang, you come with me!"
Lu Yuandao, he must determine whether it is safe here, the Japanese army's favorite thing is to leave a small army in a place where people are in and out, one is not careful, it will cause great casualties!
Several people pulled a line of stragglers and walked towards the mountains under the leadership of a lone wolf.
Not far from the mountain, I saw corpses all over the ground, there were no less than 100 dead, all of them were refugees who had fled, and Lu Yuan understood that what the lone wolf said was true, and he did not lie to himself.
"We have lost so many brothers that we have not been able to save them"
The lone wolf choked and gritted his teeth: "These inhuman guys, if they fall into the hands of Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu will light them up with sky lanterns!" ”
"Don't worry, there's a chance!" Yang Zongman comforted.
Lu Yuan looked around and didn't find anything abnormal, but he felt a burst of heartbeat, that feeling, like being stared at by a poisonous snake in the dark, and felt a burst of creepy.
"I've checked it, nothing out of the ordinary!"
The cow pimple monkey spirit king hemp pole came back from all around the woods and reported to Lu Yuan.
Lu Yuan nodded, suddenly picked up his pants and rushed to a big tree, and began to release water, but his eyes kept staring at the not far away at his feet, it was a cigarette butt, and the surrounding snow had traces of melting, and it had not had time to be covered by flying snowflakes.
"Let's go back, let's get everyone to climb the mountain!"
After releasing the water casually, Lu Yuan didn't even raise his head, he turned around and led Yang Zongman and the others back, seemingly casually looking around, and he had already kept the surrounding terrain in mind.
When a few people walked away, the branches on the tree suddenly moved, and a devil poked his head out of the dense branches, and let out a long sigh.
He wasn't worried about the few people who came, he was worried that Lu Yuan would find out about him, and then scare away the hundreds of people four or five miles away.
There were many places in the woods that seemed to be calm and empty, and there were at least more than a hundred devils ambushing everywhere, there were five machine guns alone, plus such a narrow terrain, several waves of strafing and grenade coverage, it is estimated that most of these hundreds of people will be wiped out in an instant, and there is no chance to resist!
"Hide yourself and be ready to fight!"
The captain of this squad gestured with gestures, letting the squad enter the battle state, and at the same time secretly admired the captain of the Chaoxiang Palace Ninth Wing for using soldiers like a god, and actually knew in advance that there would be a team here, and let himself set up an encirclement.
