Lü Liang finally realized the reason why later generations called both the ancestor and the bald head "sinners", because at this time he was doing the same thing as they did back then, although the opponent became the allied army joined by the Japanese and Russian armies, but the battlefield was still on his own land, and the dead and wounded were the Chinese compatriots.

The battle of Gaomi on the Shandong battlefield was the first battle in which the enemy army held the civilians in the city hostage in disguise for defense. I believe that this will continue to happen in the future, and if every time the Chinese army hesitates in front of the city, then the battle will not be fought.

For the sake of the interests of the broader masses of the people, this sentence is really not just a matter of saying, after it was realized, Lu Liang found that this decision was difficult to make, and he was a little weak-minded and let the General Staff make his own decision, quite a bit of the meaning of learning from me and sending you to death. This is the first time that Lu Liang has tried to shirk his historical responsibility, of course, the future generations will not put the responsibility on others, but after letting the genetic commander decide, Lu Liang still felt a lot better, and then squatted in the corner to reflect on his dark side.

Fortunately, this matter can be reversed, that night Lu Liang returned to the bedroom of the presidential palace and asked the first lady Ms. Wu Yue (this book finally describes the female character again, and the author Jun also feels a little dry, but he just hates the stallion flow and **** flow. The feelings are very heavy, and Lu Liang can't bear more! Confide in your troubles, and then let your wife slap her on the sofa.

A kind and intelligent Wu Yue was surprised by her fierce reaction, and immediately helped Lu Liang up, and the two sat together wordlessly, and the silence lasted for more than half an hour.

"Alas!" With a long sigh, looking at Wu Yue, who was a little nervous, Lu Liang took the initiative to speak: "It's me who is wrong, I'm afraid, I'm afraid that my career will fail, and I'm afraid that everything I've struggled for will come to naught." I am afraid that I will put Huaxia in a situation from which I will never recover, I am afraid that history will portray me as the biggest villain in history, and I am afraid that the civilians who were killed by me will come to me to settle accounts. ”

Wu Yue caressed Lu Liang's face, this man is the object of his worship, his husband, and the big husband who stands up to the sky. It turns out that there is such a vulnerable side too. She scoffed: "Stubborn to the point of paranoia, can an atheist also be afraid of the interference of the undead?" ”

Lu Liang replied in an almost coquettish tone, and then he felt uncomfortable with this tone: "I'm also a human being, whether it's good or not, if I am a human being, I will be worried and afraid, afraid to see the undead's angry and distorted expression." ”

"Maybe it's because I think you're omnipotent, that you're the most upright and selfless person in the world, and that the contrast is too great after hearing your words of shirking responsibility, so I hit you out of control, and I apologize to you."

Lu Liang waved his hand. knew that Wu Yue still had something to say.

"On the other hand, you can't chill your men, and I know you have many, many loyal men in every corner of the government, the army, the factories, and most of them in important positions. The worst impact of this is this, as a leader, it is your duty to take the initiative to take responsibility for your subordinates, if you are afraid. I'm willing to take it on with you. ”

Wu Yue's role is once again vividly embodied, and there is no bosom friend. Every day, he packs himself as hard as iron, and steel is easy to break, and only Wu Yue can soften the corners of his heart, so that Lu Liang will not collapse under heavy pressure.

Being in a high position could not change the essence of Lu Liang's disease-free moaning, and the civilians in Gaomi City would not feel that their sacrifice was worth it. In the dense artillery fire, accidental injuries were inevitable. Although the reconnaissance planes tried to find every Japanese military target, and the artillerymen tried to make the artillery fire more accurate, the cold shells sometimes did not divert direction at the will of man.

At some point, the stone town and the city gate were in ruins, and the barricades and fire points at the gate disappeared. The Second Army attacked from all sides, spearheaded by tanks and armored vehicles, followed by infantry, and rushed into the small county town of Gaomi, where street fighting broke out.

Most of the Japanese soldiers who had taken refuge in civilian houses before the shelling began, so they survived the artillery fire, and they used the windows to wait for firing points to snipe the advance of the Chinese troops. The advantage is that the streets and houses in the city are disorderly, and the Japanese soldiers can be transferred through the narrow streets, and there are still some civilians in the houses who have not left, which becomes the best cover for the Japanese soldiers. The disadvantage is that most of the houses in the city are mud or stone houses, which are not solid, and the houses are low, which is not conducive to observing the battle situation, and there is a lack of effective communication tools between the troops, and it is difficult for the orders of the superior officers to accurately reach the ears of the soldiers.

Liu Fugui was also a little timid, street fighting tactics were trained, and the troops were also equipped with a lot of street fighting weapons, but the Japanese soldiers hid in civilian houses to shoot, and the Chinese soldiers found many civilians who were accidentally injured in civilian houses during the attack, which led to many effective tactics and weapons being unusable.

"Company commander, there are about a dozen devils in the house opposite, a machine gun, it's very easy to capture, our bullets can penetrate the thin walls, but I'm afraid of accidentally injuring the civilians inside!" Gao Cheng went to the seventh class to supervise the battle, Liu Fugui took the opportunity to complain to the company commander, pointing to the house around the corner and the comrades who didn't know how to fight, with an angry look.

"Don't BB, I just received an order, regardless of casualties, take Gaomi City as soon as possible at all costs, this is the holy decree of the president, there are people on top of it, let's let it go!" Gao Cheng also hates it, this damn little devil!

Since it has reached this point, don't worry too much, the elite soldiers immediately beckoned the guy in their hands to the target, and the melee weapons such as bazookas, grenades, heavy machine guns, and shotguns have once again become the magic weapon to defeat the enemy. At 7:30 p.m. that day, the fighting in Gaomi City was basically over, and the sporadic gunfire completely disappeared after an hour.

According to statistics, in the Battle of Gaomi, the Chinese army suffered 401 casualties and annihilated 22,100 Japanese troops, without taking prisoners. Nineteen thousand rifles, one hundred and fifty-five machine guns, and one hundred and nine artillery pieces were captured, but most of these weapons were badly damaged, and the Chinese army was not in the habit of fighting with the captured weapons, so most of them were shipped back to the factories for recuperation.

The data is publicly available, and there is a top-secret document, but the contents of this document are limited to the military, and no more than fifteen people are aware of the contents. These men were required to sign the strictest confidentiality agreements, and the General Staff set up a special statistical team to count civilian casualties, but less than half of the 35 members of this group lived to be 50 years old, and the rest committed suicide under unbearable self-blame.

After taking Gaomi, the Second Army rested for one night, and the powerful attack power made the Japanese First Army in Qingzhou dumbfounded, and the strength of more than 20,000 troops of a division and an independent brigade was completely wiped out in less than a day, such combat effectiveness is simply unbelievable. Objective facts caused the Japanese First Army to speed up the pace of retreat, and the Japanese troops stationed in various places outside Qingzhou received an urgent order to speed up their approach to Qingzhou, and retreated in the direction of Jinan on July 19.

General Obaogong ordered the Second Army to move in the direction of Zibo, build fortifications, meet the retreating First Army, and block the advance of the Chinese army. However, the Japanese underestimated the marching speed of the mechanized troops, and at about 5 o'clock in the morning of the 18th, the Second Army of the Chinese Army set out from Gaomi, and the journey of about 60 kilometers took only about four hours, and at 9 o'clock in the morning, the advance of the Chinese army appeared on the east side of the county seat of Weixian. There are only two infantry brigades defending near the city of Weixian, and it is still unknown how much of a role they can play.

Shocked by the speed of the Chinese army's march at the same time, the Japanese First Army immediately studied the escape route, if it left the city and retreated westward, in the field battle, according to the maximum marching speed of the two armies, it would be caught up by the Chinese army's mechanized troops before entering Zibo, losing its defensive geographical advantage, and the retreat of the First Army was likely to evolve into a rout.

"The Chinese army has a large number of automobiles, armored vehicles and other tools, and there are more than 300 troops in the forward battalion alone, and there are all kinds of artillery towed by tanks and trucks. The commander of the First Army, Lieutenant General Nogi Noshinori, said helplessly after receiving the information from the scouts.

"But relying on Qingzhou City to defend is not a good way, this small city does not have strong walls, the terrain is open, easy to attack and difficult to defend, and the buildings in the city are low, and the high-density battles show that the defeat is faster after entering the street battle. I think it is possible to move to the Yimeng Mountains in the southwest, and after entering Linqu, we can enter the complex mountainous areas, which can limit the advance of the Chinese army's mechanized troops and the firepower advantage of tanks, armored vehicles, and artillery to the greatest extent, and finally return to Jinan through the Yimeng Mountains. ”

"Qingzhou is right in the middle of Weixian and Zibo, and if Weixian's troops can hold off the Chinese army for five hours, we can successfully withdraw to Zibo. Or to meet us some distance before reaching the Second Army in Zibo, in any case it is better than going into the mountains, where the terrain is very foreign to us. ”

"The battle of Gaomi shows that the defense of Weixian will not last that long, and the Chinese army can completely bypass Weixian and directly attack the direction of Qingzhou. And the Second Army from Jinan did not have time to reach Zibo, we would have been overtaken. ”

In the end, Nogi Noshinori decided to turn the army to the south, enter the mountains from Linqu, and escape from the pursuit of the Chinese army. The frightened Japanese army could not have imagined that the astonishing marching speed of the Chinese army was closely linked to logistics, and after arriving in Weixian, the logistics supply capacity of the Chinese army reached its limit, especially the fuel that supported the advance of the vehicles, and it would take another day to arrive in Weixian. That is to say, the Japanese First Army had enough time to withdraw to Jinan, but Nogi Noshinori, who did not know, could only enter the Yimeng Mountains, which were densely forested at this time of summer, and there would be flash floods from time to time, and it was not known how many sins they would suffer in the mountains to get out.
