Chapter 315: Restoring Contact
Han Fei shook his head and said: "I know what you said, the devil has already made up his mind to take this Wuwei town, we are here to block the process of the devil's attack on Nanjing, not to fight with the devil here, here is a flat river, except for these waters that can be used to block the devil's advance, there is only that fortification to block the devil in other places, but now it seems that the situation is much more dangerous than we originally thought, and it is time to consider the problem of retreatββ"
Han Fei was also very helpless, he didn't want to stop the devil's main force from attacking in the direction of Nanjing, but he just had few troops at hand, and his strength was weak, and the superior troops who were finally contacted were left with less than one regiment left, which could be regarded as unlucky, sometimes remembering the tragic scene of the devil's plane bombing the fleeing people on the way, Han Fei couldn't wait to fight to the death with the little devil here, and vented his evil anger, but calm down and think about it carefully, this method is not advisable, although it can be done quickly for a while, But it can't recover the current defeat, and it has sacrificed many outstanding anti-Japanese soldiers in vain, especially these special forces brothers in the special service company, Han Fei has spent a lot of energy to train, if all the losses are here, it will be worth the loss, what will happen to Nanjing in the future? Since we can't stop the devils even if we run out, let's retreat quickly, save some strength, keep blocking the devils on the way, try to delay the speed of the devils' attack on Nanjing, and buy some time for the people to escape.
Han Fei immediately rushed to Division Commander Wang's place and said to him: "Division, the independent division has been contacted, they are now resting in Changzhou, there is less than one regiment left in a division, and it is also surrounded and protruded by devils, and now we have encountered the same situation as the independent division here, the attack of the devils on the flanks and behind is becoming more and more fierce, although the frontal defense fortifications have temporarily withstood the attack of the devils, but I think the situation is very bad, if we don't retreat in time, we will also end up with the same fate as the independent division." β
Of course, Senior Commander Wang understood what Han Fei meant when he said this, and squinted his eyes and said, "What does Senior Brother Han mean is that now we have to give up Wuwei Town and move closer to Changzhou?" β
"That's what it means, but I don't know what Shizuo thinks?" Han Fei still has a lot of respect for Commander Wang and Commander Liu, although they temporarily handed over the command of the main force of the Sichuan Army to him, but he felt that this was their trust in him, after all, they were veterans, and they had walked more bridges than they had walked, and they should still be respected.
"Brother Han, do you think Changzhou has a terrain and terrain that can be defended?" Master Wang asked Han Fei rhetorically.
Han Feileng paused, shook his head and said: "No, the terrain in Changzhou is similar to that here, and it is still a flat river, with many water networks, and there is almost no danger to defend." β
"Then why give up Wuwei Town? There are also Taihu Lake waters and defense fortifications as a barrier, these two things are not available to the devils, if we give up here and go to Changzhou, although we can meet the remaining troops of the independent division, but what will it be? Can you block the devil's attack in Changzhou? "Master Wang didn't speak in a high tone, but his attitude was quite resolute.
Han Fei heard it, Division Commander Wang didn't want to continue to be chased by the devils, from Shanghai Baoshan to Jinshan, and then from Jinshan to Wuxi Taihu Lake, along the way, all the devils ran down with their butts, resisting along the way, the two divisions of the Sichuan army are now only one and a half divisions left, and some of the Sichuan troops who went out of the Sichuan War of Resistance with them have all died on the battlefield in Shanghai. From Shanghai to Nanjing, all are endless plains, two slightly raised hills can not be seen, and there are rivers and harbors everywhere, only fortifications and large areas of water can be used as conditions to resist the attack of devils on this kind of terrain, if you give up these advantages, retreat only to live a few more days, the main force of the devils behind to catch up, still able to surround it.
Han Fei listened to Commander Wang's words, and his heart was even more entangled, the independent division on the Changzhou side opened the telegram, he must have hoped that he would meet them in the past, and the situation on his side was not optimistic, Division Commander Wang was right, if there were no national defense fortifications and the waters of Taihu Lake as a barrier, he and the main force of the Sichuan army would have been tightly wrapped by the main force of the devil, and they would have eaten it in one bite. It is simply unrealistic for the spy company and the Sichuan army to block this kind of non-stop and crazy attack of the devils.
Division Commander Wang saw that Han Fei was silent, and his face still showed a tangled and hesitant look, so he said to him: "I found the superior troops, I know your feelings, so let's do it, you take the spy company to Changzhou to meet the independent division, and our Sichuan army troops continue to hold on here, so that the two are correct, if we are lucky enough to withstand the devil's senior here, we may be able to draw some people to Changzhou to support, if we can't stand it here, then you can also come over to reinforce us, people, you can't hang yourself on a tree, right? Maybe you have a point. β
When Division Commander Wang said this, Han Fei felt that he couldn't make up his mind anymore, as soon as the spies withdrew, the pressure on the main force of the Sichuan army would be even greater, and they all had to be put in?
"I'm afraid that won't work? We can't leave when your Sichuan army is in the most difficult and need help, I can't do this, if you don't leave, just stay here and fight with the devil! "Han Fei is determined to fight the devils here in Wuwei Town with the main force of the Sichuan army, and when the troops are exhausted, it will not be too late to break through and go to Changzhou to find an independent division.
But after hearing this, Master Wang said with a sullen face: "Brother Han, don't be rash, to be honest, your spy company is different from our Sichuan army, our Sichuan army has never been treated, since leaving Sichuan, other troops have called us Huazi, only the independent division and you can afford us, pull us, this is why today's situation, if it weren't for your pull, maybe we would have been in Baoshan to wrap up the devil, and we can survive today, all thanks to the help of the independent division and the spy company, You take the brothers of the spy company to Changzhou quickly, you can take out as much as you want, here is our Sichuan army top, soldiers, there are all killed in battle, while there are still some ammunition and materials at hand, fight with the devil to the death, don't run out of guns and bullets by then, then really wait to be cut by the devil's Oriental knife! β
