Chapter Eighty-Five: The Order Changed Again

Every time there is a big war, the soldiers of these troops are not afraid of sacrifice, and they are all willing to die for the country and the nation! The generals do not have the wonderful art of war of the contemporary Sun Wu, and they are not the gods of war, they only know that this is fighting for the survival of the country and the nation, and they have no way out!

Before the order to retreat is given, even if the troops are sacrificed to the last man, they cannot take a step back! Because they are the regular army of the country! Saving strength and retreating from the battlefield does not exist for these Predators, because their mission is only to fight devils on the battlefield, and their lives only belong to the battlefield! As long as there are still people alive, they will fight endlessly, and they are the pillars of the continuation of my Chinese bloodline!

It is precisely because these five armies do not hesitate to die in every battle, and every time they dare to fight for their lives with the Japanese army. At the critical moment of the life and death of the nation, the soldiers had no distractions, and often exchanged their heavy casualties on the battlefield for heavy losses to the Japanese invaders, and such a fighting method finally won the respect and fear of the opponent! The five main forces have won a great reputation in front of their opponents!

Since the numbers of the three divisions of the 74th Army all began with five, and they all used American-style equipment, the Japanese army gave them the nickname: "Unit 35." Every time they heard that the opponent was the "35" unit, the Japanese commander was terrified, saying that it was an exaggeration to say that he was cowardly before the battle, and it was not false at all that his arrogance was greatly reduced.

The new division commander of the 15th Division of the Japanese Army was shocked when he heard that the opponent attacking him was the 58th Division of the 35th Army! The 15th Division was no better than the famous 16th Division, which fought all the way into Nanjing, but the 15th Division waited until the city was occupied to take charge of security in his vicinity. In recent years, they have participated in the most frequent battles in the suburbs and the arrest of suspects in the city of Nanjing. Such a non-front-line main force suddenly encountered the 35th unit in the Chinese army that was famous for fighting on the battlefield, and all the devils of the 15th Division had no bottom in their hearts.

The 58th Division was still the same as before, and after Zhang Lingfu arranged the offensive sequence of the troops, he rushed forward with a vanguard regiment! Zhang Lingfu takes the lead every time he fights, which can certainly encourage morale and make the soldiers not afraid of death in battle, but at the same time, as a commander, he often puts himself in danger. Like a few injuries, it's almost always the same. Fortunately, Zhang Lingfu was not injured this time, but in the middle of the war, something happened that Zhang Lingfu could not accept even more than being injured, he received an order from the war zone!

The order of the theater of operations was forwarded to the Military Commission, that is, the order of the chairman himself came!

As soon as the battle of Zhejiang and Jiangxi began, the chairman of the committee also couldn't eat and sleep for many days in a row, staring at the map and guarding the phone all day long, listening to the battle reports on the front line, for fear that our side would not be able to fight well in the battle and suffer a big loss! The chairman has too many worries in the third theater of operations! Not only is his old subordinate good brother Gu Zhutong serving as the commander there, but the Third War Zone also has a large number of main forces of the national army and a large number of excellent battlefield commanders, such as Wang Jingjiu, Feng Shengfa, Wang Yaowu, Li Jue, Fang Riying, Wang Tiehan, etc., it can be said that the famous generals are like clouds, plus hundreds of thousands of troops, a large area of land, these are absolutely unaffordable!

Gu Zhutong reported that he was going to fight a decisive battle with the Devil's Thirteenth Army between Jinhua and Lanxi! The commissioner specially called an operational staff officer to explain the map to him. After listening to the report and reading the map, he slapped the table, "Mo San is confused!" Between Jinhua and Lanxi is the eastern entrance to the valley, and Quzhou is the western exit. In a decisive battle with the enemy at the entrance, it is very easy to be surrounded by the Japanese army between Jinhua Lanxi, looking for opportunities to break through! Only at the exit of Quzhou and the decisive battle with the Japanese army is the place where the soldiers who can attack and retreat and defend are the battleground! Change! It has to be changed! I can't just watch him Gu Mosan make mistakes, watch him bury hundreds of thousands of outstanding soldiers of the party-state without speaking! The decisive battle should be changed to Quzhou! ”

In a word, the location of the battle has been changed to Quzhou!

Originally, this is nothing, the difference between the decisive battle in Jinhua and the decisive battle in Quzhou is not too big, as long as you are determined to fight to the death with the Japanese army, our army's victory should be said to be relatively large, after all, this is a war in China, the time and place are favorable, and our army is all occupied! In addition, the number of troops in our Third Theater is much larger than that of the Japanese army, and there are also many famous generals who can fight, so as long as the whole army is united, it is not impossible to achieve another great victory like the Third Battle of Changsha.

It's a bad thing for the Americans. If the committee wants to fight the battle between Zhejiang and Jiangxi, of course, it must ask the opinion of the US side. As a result, President Roosevelt told the chairman of the committee: Even if the battle of Zhejiang and Jiangxi is won, it will not be of much use, but will consume the vitality of China's War of Resistance, and it is best not to fight this battle!

The Americans are counting on China to keep the Japanese army in check, so that China and Japan can continue to fight, until the Americans have recovered and accumulated enough strength to defeat the Japanese army in one fell swoop, and then they will shine as saviors, defeat the invaders, and save the whole world! Let the people of the world worship at the feet of the United States of America! The Americans did not want the Chinese to fight a decisive battle with the Japanese army, which would reduce the capital of the Chinese army in the war of resistance and shorten the time of the Chinese war of resistance.

Roosevelt calculated an account for the chairman of the committee, the Japanese army had a million troops, and the 11th Army that launched the Battle of Zhejiang-Jiangxi was less than 100,000 at best, even if you defeated these 100,000 people, could you kill them all? Can't you? If you can kill forty or fifty thousand people, it will be heavenly. But what kind of troops are you in the third theater? The 74th Army and the 26th Army were the pillars of the National Army's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, and if they were only to annihilate tens of thousands of Japanese troops, they would have crippled these elite troops, which would be a huge loss for both the Nationalist Government and the World Anti-Fascist Front!

Roosevelt's remarks completely moved the chairman. What the committee is most afraid of is the excessive loss of strength at hand, and the most worrying thing is his five main forces, especially the 74th Army, which is known for not dying when it starts a battle! Every time after a battle, the commission would know the casualties of the troops earlier than Wang Yaowu, and every time he would be distressed. Fortunately, Wang Yaowu won the battle every time, otherwise, the chairman would have pulled this loser back and closed the door to fight!

As soon as he heard what his American allies were saying, he immediately convened a meeting of the Standing Committee of the Central Military Commission, at which he announced: In order to protract the war of resistance, the Battle of Quzhou was cancelled, and all troops around Quzhou were ordered to avoid a decisive battle with the Japanese army in the Quzhou area as much as possible, preserve their strength, and leave the flame of revolution behind, in order to slowly consume the devils to death in the future!

The order was first transmitted to the headquarters of the commander of the Third Theater of Operations, located on Mount Wuyi in Fujian. Commander Gu was naturally a loyal follower of the commission, and after receiving the order, he immediately transmitted the orders of the Military Commission to every unit in the theater through the radio.
