Chapter 753: The city is full of blood

Jiang Zhongzheng was silent, he didn't know that Chen Cheng was telling the truth in a rare way. whispered a word to go, and let Chen Cheng go out.

Now the whole Wuhan is already in chaos, but fortunately, the air-raid shelters built before have finally withstood the air raids of the Japanese army. But everyone also knew that they were surrounded.

No one knows if they will survive, no one knows if they will escape the city. The unknown, and the wounded soldiers who were constantly being sent in, filled the entire bomb shelter with a smell of blood.

If it weren't for the gendarmes suppressing order, perhaps the entire bomb shelter would have been in chaos.

In the temporary office of his statistics bureau, Dai Li looked at the men in black under his command and said in a deep voice: "I know your hard work, and I also know your grievances. But that's what we do. ”

"We just lost Nanjing, and we withdrew to Wuhan in chaos. Many nodes were not connected, and the Japanese army unexpectedly avoided the main roads and villages this time, and chose to disperse the march by day and night. That's why we don't know it. ”

These men lowered their heads when they were said, in fact, they were indeed wronged in this matter. The failure of the Battle of Songhu led to the emergency evacuation of Nanjing, and the loss of control of the node was inevitable.

The Bureau of Statistics has done its best to adjust, even at the expense of many internal and external members. But there is always no way to contact all the nodes.

Of course, this is not to say that the Bureau of Statistics is not at fault, the Japanese army fought to the death in Nanjing, which made the Bureau of Statistics begin to be paralyzed and careless about the movements of the Japanese army. However, the wars in Tianjin and Shandong attracted most of their energy.

This allowed the Japanese army's plan to be carried out, and it has to be said that although the Japanese military department was strategically very second, it was extremely well arranged tactically. Even at the beginning of the Pacific War, the U.S. military suffered losses under the tactical attacks of the Japanese army.

It can be said that Wuhan is under siege, which is the result of a combination of factors. The government first misjudged that the Japanese army would continue to attack the city of Nanjing. There was no spare strength to launch an offensive on Wuhan in the rear until victory was achieved.

The second is that the hasty relocation has led to the loss of contact between Dai Li and most of the institutions under the Bureau of Statistics, which has led to a lack of information. The biggest reason for this is that the Japanese army has adopted an unconventional method of warfare.

Instead of marching directly, as was the case with them, they dispersed and went out by day and night, avoiding the villages rather than taking the main road. Historically, the Japanese army has also used such tactics, and in May 1942, the Japanese army implemented the "C Operation Plan" at that time, and the red color suffered a big loss.

Zuo Jiquan, the main general of the Red Army, was killed in this battle, and he himself became the highest-ranking commander of the Eighth Route Army to die in the War of Resistance against Japan. And this also shows the power of this tactic.

At that time, the Japanese army dispatched about 25,000 Japanese troops and 3,000 allied troops to carry out a surprise attack on the red base area by day and night, avoiding villages and taking as many small roads as possible.

In this case, almost all the red people in the world have suffered a big loss, not to mention the national government with misjudgment and incomplete preparations?!

"Ladies and gentlemen, I will not hide it from you. This time it has indeed reached a life-and-death juncture, and whether or not we can hold Wuhan determines whether we can survive or not. "Although there is a lot of intrigue within the statistical bureau, it is not the time to think about it.

"The chairman has spoken. This time it has passed, and it is not a problem for everyone to increase their official ranks. If you don't get through it......" Dai Li's eyes flashed.

"It doesn't matter who comes to power, don't even think about it if we people who are mixed with the informants."

Everyone also knew that Dai Li's words were heart-to-heart. Yijun nodded, and Dai Li continued: "We can't do much during the day, and at night we each lurk out to help kill the enemy." If we can hold out until our main forces arrive, it will be victory! ”

"Where to go, you can see for yourself!" Dai Li shook his hand and waved at everyone. These men had to bow down and leave, and then prepare for the night attack on the Japanese positions under the organization of their respective commanders.

And Dai Li, who was in the office, looked at the dim light and his eyes were a little confused. Will the government be able to hold on this time......

"Boom, boom...... "On the position in Wuhan, the Japanese army and the Central Army shouted and fought together....... The two sides have been fighting for a whole day and a night.

The Japanese soldiers carried down batch after batch, but also attacked batch after batch. The heavy artillery of the Japanese army was also constantly bombarding the rear of the Central Army.

The troops who tried to rush up to support were scattered in the artillery fire. The troops on the front line had not eaten or drunk for a whole day and night, and the non-stop offensive of the Japanese army led to the occupation of three positions on the front.

The artillery bombardment destroyed nearly 5,000 troops of the Central Army, and several city gates that had been preserved at the strong request of the squires were already crumbling. The walls on both sides were already in tatters and emitting smoke.

Up and down the city walls

Inside and outside the gates, there were broken corpses and sprayed with mutilated entrails. The attic on the castle tower has long been flattened, and the battlements are incomplete.

The heavy artillery was still bombarding the area, and the bullets from the machine guns swept up puffs of sparks and smoke on the walls. The regiment guarding here is already in its fourth rotation, and the first three regiments have all been disabled without exception.

Even now, this regiment has only been beaten from more than 1,000 people in one day and one night to less than 400 people at present. The regimental chief of staff was blown off one leg, and one of the two battalion commanders was killed. Four company commanders were killed and three were seriously wounded.

And the regiment commander himself, with a bandaged hand hanging from his neck, continued to command the battle with red eyes. There were no Central Army fighters in the sky, and after the last batch of fighters took off the day before yesterday, the air forces of the Central Army were never able to return.

"Buzz buzz ......" There was the roar of Japanese fighters in the sky, and the regiment commander Song Jun raised his head and swept the sky with his godless eyes, cursed a few words, and then turned around and hid in the bunker.

The rest of the soldiers defending the city all spontaneously entered the rudimentary fortifications, and whether they died or not was a matter of luck. If they leave the city wall, they will still have to die if they are attacked by the Japanese.

Without leaving the city wall, he was killed by Japanese bombers or killed in battle. They had no choice but to wait. Pray to God and worship Buddha and other luck.

The sound ......of the air raid sirens sounded in Wuhan, and all the personnel who had been doing the transport rushed to the nearest air-raid shelter, during which time they had become accustomed to air raids.

And the bomb shelter was not idle. Young adults hiding in bomb shelters were organized and ready to enter the battlefield at any time. Women, the elderly, and children were organized to participate in the ambulance.

Whether or not they can survive is a question that no one has answered. But people have to find something to do for themselves, and under the guns of the gendarmes, they can only do what the government wants.

"Chirp...... "Wuhan was bombed again, and the entire air-raid shelter was shaken....... The bright wall lamp in Jiang Zhongzheng's office flickered on and off, illuminating the chairman's face uncertainly.

Outside the bomb shelter, the main target of the Japanese air attack was the position of the Central Army. And then there are some that are labeled as "valuable goals". These include ambulance, reserves, and fortification sites suspected to be of the Central Army.

During the bombing, countless houses were set on fire. It was the Japanese who used incendiary bombs, apparently they wanted to burn down the positions of the Central Army. The positions of the Central Army were suddenly in flames, but fortunately, this situation was encountered in the Battle of Songhu.

Everyone rolled on the ground and ran away. The Japanese fighters became unscrupulous without any threat, and they arrogantly flew low at the positions of the Central Army, which was ......a burst of strafing fire from the positions of the Central Army.

Countless soldiers who had just emerged from the flames screamed and were swept to the ground, until the planes had emptied their bullets before reluctantly flying away.

"Chirp...... Rumble! Rumble!! Boom ......" The Japanese fighters left, and their heavy artillery units took over and began shelling. Heavy artillery bombarded the positions of the Central Army, blasting large areas of masonry into the sky.

Countless soldiers of the Central Army screamed and were drowned out by artillery fire. The Japanese attacking troops took advantage of this time to constantly approach the positions of the Central Army.

......When the shelling extended to the rear, the Japanese heavy machine guns rang out one after another. Under the cover of light and heavy machine guns, the Japanese troops kept approaching the position.

The troops who survived the bombardment, fire and artillery bombardment hurriedly crawled back to their positions and returned fire to the Japanese with guns that had not yet been blown up. But they were greeted by fan-fired Japanese machine-gun fire.

At the same time, it also required accurate shooting from the Japanese troops, and the Central Army suffered heavy losses under a burst of fire. At this time, the Japanese attacking troops had already entered the position 200 meters away, and the grenadier sound of "tom tom tom ......" smashed into the position of the Central Army with grenades.

The explosions on the "boom, boom, boom......" position sounded one after another, and along with the explosions were the screams of the soldiers who were guarding the position. The Japanese army, which was originally crawling forward, was at this time in the commander's "assault! In the battle cry, he screamed towards the position of the Central Army.

The rear of the Central Army tried to make a support, but the Japanese artillery bombardment blocked their support route. Under the command, the soldiers below braved the artillery fire and rushed to the position.

Along the way, countless people were overturned by heavy artillery, and only half of them were able to rush to the position.

"Kill devils, ......" In the constant roar, the Central Army and the Japanese army once again slaughtered together. The Japanese heavy machine guns and heavy firepower were no longer able to exert their power, but the follow-up Japanese soldiers continued to kill towards the position.

No one took a step back, both sides were fighting. Fighting for every position, competing for every bit of time. The Japanese army was to annihilate the troops in Wuhan before the Central Army reinforcements arrived.

The Central Army, on the other hand, had to withstand the Japanese attack before reinforcements arrived...... (To be continued)
