"The Third Route Army has retreated...... Song Zheyuan looked at the telegram sent from Shandong, sighed and said: "Han Xiangfang, the commander-in-chief of the Third Route Army, was killed on the spot by a bomb from an aircraft when he withdrew his troops, General Staff Li Yinxuan was seriously injured, and Chief of Staff Liu Shuxiang was seriously injured......

Qi Mudeng, the commander of the Second Army Corps, who rushed to Tianjin, scolded in a low voice, and his face was very ugly.

"Commander Qi, now the situation in Shandong is irreparable. The ministries lost their unified command and fell into retreat. Saying that, Song Zheyuan couldn't help but feel a little afraid.

If the Wehrmacht came two days late, he might not have been much better off by Han Fuyu. Although it is not certain that they will die in battle, at least the collapse of the troops is a very likely occurrence.

The five divisions and one brigade under Han Fuyu have basically been wiped out by the two divisions so far. For example, Li Han's 749th Chapter of Wuhan's Stormy 74th Division was directly defeated. Now the entire 74th Division is alive, I don't know if there are a hundred people.

There is also the exhibition hall of the commander of the 81st Division, and now not only is there only one missing regiment left in the troops, but two-thirds of the regiment itself is seriously injured and unconscious.

Cao Fulin, the commander of the 29th Division, was seriously wounded, and the remaining men of the entire division of the 29th Division were less than a battalion.

Gu Liangmin's 22nd Division has less than one regiment left until now. Sun Tongxuan's 20th Division was the only unit that had maintained a complete structure, but the combined number of the three regiments did not exceed 2,000.

Han Fuyu was killed, and the entire front fell into a rout. Sun Tongxuan and Gu Liangmin desperately gathered their troops, and only then did they reluctantly gather up the entire Third Route Army and withdraw in the direction of Tianjin.

The five divisions of the Third Route Army, all of which add up now, I don't know if there are 4,000 people.

"Withdraw it...... In the end, Qi Muden could only sigh and say: "If you want, withdraw to the three eastern provinces." We reserve the formation for them, and we replenish the soldiers and weapons for them......"

This is also Tu Qianjun's order, as long as it is an anti-Japanese team, the National Defense Force will spare no effort to support it.

"Their people can go to the National Defense University of the three eastern provinces to train Chapter 749 Wuhan is stormy, and the loss is too great if the battle is fought like this. The professors in the National Defense University were all born in actual combat. Including our commander-in-chief will go to give lectures, and we can't be brutal against [Japan] himself! ”

Qi Mudeng's words made Song Zheyuan a little embarrassed, to be honest, the 29th Army also had some brutal practices before. But that's changing.

After the arrival of the Second Army, in addition to receiving defense, it was also responsible for training the officers and men of the 29th Army. All officers walked off the line of fire and received field training. At the same time, observe the Wehrmacht operations.

Soldiers were also removed from the line of fire and received education in Defence Force aspects, including literacy and military discipline. The former non-existent General Staff is also changing to the model of the Defence Force.

Song Zheyuan still had the feeling of luring the wolf into the house at first, but when he saw that his authority had not changed, and his children had been arranged to go to the three eastern provinces, the salary and silver had also been paid, and even some of the troops had been withdrawn to the three eastern provinces to replenish him, so he was relieved.

No matter how bad it is, it won't be worse than Nanjing, right?! Song Zheyuan assessed the military rank of lieutenant general and was assigned to a small villa. The old wife wrote to say that her son was studying at Northeastern University and was preparing to apply for the National Defense University.

This made Song Zheyuan feel relieved, and when he saw that Long Yun's sons were now able to take charge of their own learning, Lao Song also thought that his son would be able to inherit his mantle in the future.

Song Zheyuan, who was born in 1885, is now in his fifties, and the battlefield is changing rapidly. Isn't it just to leave a memory for future generations?!

At Song Zheyuan's point, the arrangement of children has become what he cares about the most. Solving this worry of his, Lao Song naturally didn't mind that his troops had more elements of the Wehrmacht.

On March 5, 1938, Wuhan Jiang Zhongzheng issued a telegram: Han Fuyu, the former commander-in-chief of the Third Route Army, was a second-class general. At the same time, he encouraged the Song Zheyuan Department in Tianjin to let them continue the war of resistance.

Behind Song Zheyuan, Henan's Tang Enbo Department strengthened the collection and scraping reserves of military rations and was ready to evacuate at any time.

"The situation is rotten, ......" In the conference room in Wuhan, Jiang Zhongzheng sighed with a telegram: "This Sun Yinting, let's see how to pull him over." If he were to join the Wehrmacht, it would be very bad for us! ”

Jiang Zhongzheng's words did not cause everyone to discuss, how can this thing be discussed?! How did Han Fuyu's heavy mortar regiment disappear?! It's not the chairman who has been transferred?!

There is only such a heavy mortar regiment under Han Fuyu's command that can be used as fire support, and the impact of this transfer on the battle situation is known to fools.

Why is Song Zheyuan willing to let the National Defense Army pass Tianjin?! It's not that their own equipment is outrageous, and the Wehrmacht still supported Song Zheyuan with some artillery and huā organs.

The government didn't say anything about it, and now the Third Route Army is crippled. If it were to be replaced by the national government, it would definitely have to be withdrawn, and the people would have to withdraw to the three eastern provinces, that would be the way to maintain the system.

Compared with the two, this is the one who defected to the national government is a big fool.

The strength is not as good as the people, and the small belly and chicken intestines are calculating, and they can't wait to replace all the troops with the Huangpu department, and then organize everyone into the "Central Army". The consequence of this is that a bunch of people are wary of the government.

Now, for example, the news from Dai Li shows that Yan Xishan is secretly trying to contact the Wehrmacht. Yan Laoxi is not a fool, people don't know about Henan's Tang Enbo's big moves? !

The central army is ready to withdraw, and if the Japanese army kills it, Yan Laoxi in Shanxi will not be able to hold it. For this reason, Yan Laoxi had to go to the Wehrmacht. After all, in the whole country, it is extremely obvious that there are people who can fight the Japanese army: only the Wehrmacht.

Yan Laoxi has been mixed for so many years, and his vision is not vicious. Seeing what the situation was, he would naturally make a choice. Anyway, Wuhan is now too busy to take care of itself, and how to do it is not up to Yan Laoxi himself?!

"Chairman, it's not Sun Yinting's problem alone. In fact, we should say that it is the problem of the entire national government, and Yan Baichuan's actions in Shanxi are already obvious. I believe that Liu Xiang and they will definitely have ideas. ”

In the end, it was Yang Yongtai who spoke. This is also a helpless move, except for him, it is not good for anyone else to say such frustrating words at this time. Otherwise, it will attract Jiang Zhongzheng's anger, which is not fun.

"What we urgently need now is not to bring them back. It's a hearty victory, otherwise there will only be more and more people going. The state of the government will become more and more isolated, and I don't think I will know what the consequences will be. ”

Jiang Zhongzheng's face was very ugly, in fact, what Yang Yongtai said was not what he was worried about? ! But the helpless thing is that his own troops are not capable of fighting the Wehrmacht, which is helpless.

Who doesn't know that winning battles will win all sorts of accolades?! Who doesn't know that winning the battle will definitely put you on the moral high ground?! But the problem is, I can't win at all!

From Chiang Chung-cheng to the entire national government, no one thought that they could win the Japanese army. Without him, the first battle of Songhu directly defeated all the confidence of the national government.

The most elite troops, even tanks and planes, were only swept away by the Japanese themselves. The casualties that have not dared to be announced are actually as high as 180,000!

In this case, how can you call the government to have the confidence to fight the Japanese army?! The first battle of Songhu, this is not just the Central Army! It can even be said that it is a collection of all the strongest forces in the entire country, excluding the Wehrmacht.

But it's all like this, how can you make the government have the confidence to fight the Japanese army?!

"Where is Li Delin, what does he say?! Is there any action?! Jiang Zhongzheng was silent for a long time, then changed the topic. Everyone sighed in their hearts, but after all, they did not continue this topic.

Especially Yang Yongtai, a trace of deep sadness flashed in his eyes. It's not terrible to have problems, it's terrible to not have the courage to face your own problems. Even if you can't help it, as long as you are determined to face it, the problem can always be solved.

It is a pity that the continuous failure of the national government and the strong rise of the three eastern provinces made Jiang Zhongzheng gradually lose confidence in facing problems. In other words, Jiang Zhongzheng has no heart to think about these issues at all.

"Li Delin has not changed much, and the Wehrmacht has sent people over. However, Li Delin obviously wanted to borrow the Wehrmacht to improve the combat effectiveness of his troops, and the infiltration was not very strong......"

Dai Li, who came to attend the meeting, was silent for a while, and said softly: "But what can be seen now is that Li Delin's Gui line is obviously more closely related to the National Defense Force than it is to the national government......

When they heard this, they laughed bitterly. Although this sounds good, isn't it actually what Li Zongren means to move closer to the three eastern provinces? !

In the past, the Gui family was a role that even the government could not underestimate, and the government had never been able to infiltrate and subdue the bigwigs of the Gui family. And now they are going to move closer to the three eastern provinces, how can this be embarrassing? !

When Jiang Zhongzheng and others in Wuhan were silent in the conference room, several forces slowly formed an encirclement towards Wuhan. Ishina Matsui, with a flat head and a large beard, looks at the map in the dim light.

The chief of staff on the side, Tian Abe Shengwu, said in a deep voice: "Your Excellency, commander, our department has completed a major encirclement of Wuhan. Just complete the preparation and go straight to the battle! ”

"Yo Xi!" Matsui Shigen nodded and said in a deep voice: "This time the navy suffered a big loss in the Yellow Sea!" Although they don't admit it, as long as anyone with a discerning eye can see it, this is a good opportunity for our army! ”

"Tian Yuan, tell them: Annihilate the national government troops and capture Jiang Zhongzheng alive!!" Matsui Shigen slapped the map, and several blood-red arrows pointed directly at Wuhan City!

"Hail!!" Tian Yuan Shengwu replied loudly with red eyes: "Annihilate the troops of the national government and capture Jiang Zhongzheng alive!" ”！！！
