In the end, Wu Xiaoliang alone made the decision, the line of the Shandong army was basically determined, and the great retreat became the most important thing in the future; not only Shandong, but also all circles of industrial and commercial circles in Henan should immediately start a major retreat, and Japan's retaliation would only become more and more violent; sure enough, on the third day of the Jinan Conference, Japanese planes flew over Jinan like locusts, and air raid sirens sounded in every corner of the city.

The anti-aircraft machine guns aimed at countless black spots in the sky and fired in vain, and countless bombs with a piercing sound of air flowed straight to the ground like eggs, and with the first bomb bursting and exploding, the urban area of Jinan was suddenly plunged into a sea of fire.

The bombing lasted short, and in just half an hour, most of the bombers roared away, leaving behind mostly fly-like fighters hovering at low altitudes, and occasionally diving and strafing citizens who had taken refuge in the streets.

The anti-aircraft machine guns that had been prepared in the city for a long time spewed angry tongues of fire, and the Japanese fighters swooped and hovered like flies in the intertwined fire nets, and suddenly a fighter plane suddenly burst out of the tail of the smoke, drawing a long black dragon in the clear blue sky and falling straight to the ground.

Wu Xiaoliang was dragged to the underground air-raid shelter of the provincial mansion, the air raid by the Japanese plane was originally expected, but he did not expect so many fighters to come, fighters can only carry one bomb, and after dropping the bomb, it will be useless, and because the fighter is small in size, the fuel volume is also small, and the range is much smaller than that of the bomber, since it can accompany the bomber to Jinan, it is very likely that it should take off from the airfield on the north bank of the Yellow River.

After the air raid siren, Wu Xiaoliang returned to the ground, the air in the basement was very turbid and made him feel suffocated, wanting to greedily breathe the refreshing air on the ground, but inhaling the strong smell of gunsmoke.

From today onwards, Jinan may officially become the front line, and the Japanese army will definitely counterattack by unscrupulous means after paying the price for the light enemy, how can a Yellow River block the Japanese army.

The people around him were sent away one by one, the commander of the 17th Division, Dong Haibin, was transferred back from Xuzhou, and after staying in Jinan for a day, the troops did not even get off the car and went directly along the Longhai Line to Tongguan, and the 57th Division of the Shandong Army was mainly responsible for the Yellow River defense line, Li Zejun went straight to the front line to inspect after the Jinan meeting, and the Zhang Zhonglin Independent Brigade stationed in the Denglai generation made great contributions in the previous war against Japan, but the losses were just as heavy, and they needed to be rotated and supplemented, and they should arrive in Jinan this evening. The 2nd Independent Brigade of the 57th Division was sent to Shaanxi to assist Zhang Xueliang in stabilizing his form.

Wu Xiaoliang was worried, the country was full of rain and the wind was coming, Zhang Xueliang's Northeast Army was panicked, and its combat effectiveness was greatly reduced, if it were not for the prestige of the Zhang family for many years and Zhang Xueliang's personal charm to maintain the precarious Northeast Army, this last Beiyang warlord who had fought all over most of China would probably have to fall apart.

Yu San and this person are calm and resourceful, and it is just right to send him.

With Wu Xiaoliang was the commander of the Second Army, Yang Xiaoou, who originally planned that his Second Army would go to Henan to consolidate the defensive line, but the locomotive had some problems and was delayed, so it was scheduled to officially set off tomorrow, who would have thought that it would encounter a large-scale air attack by the Japanese army today.

"It seems that the Japanese aircraft are demonstrating more today than bombing."

Wu Xiaoliang agreed with Yang Xiaoou's statement, otherwise they would not have sent so many fighters to indiscriminately fill the numbers, and on the surface it seems that the scale of the Japanese planes is terrifying, but in fact, the element of bluffing is very large.

"This is also their lack of preparation, and when the Japanese fighters arrive in North China, I am afraid that Jinan may be razed to the ground."

"It seems that Shandong will soon become the front line of resistance against Japan, and it will inevitably be a desperate battle at that time, when the chairman is willing to leave for the west, and if he stays in the front of Jinan, it may be dangerous at any time."

Yang Xiaoou was very concerned about Wu Xiaoliang's safety, and he was originally very optimistic about the prospects of the war after the war, like most officers, but today's air raids have changed his view.

This kind of war is not symmetrical at all, the Japanese throw bombs in the sky, where can the Nationalist army below hide, the cities are destroyed, the people are displaced, and the Chinese air force is simply the difference between heaven and earth.

This most intuitive shock directly changed Yang Xiaoou's optimistic attitude towards the war, and it was only at this time that he had to admire Wu Xiaoliang's precautions, and was able to recognize his own disadvantages under the big victory, and make the difficult decision of retreating, and persevered in the implementation, and the whole of China may not be able to find the second one, so in his opinion, Wu Xiaoliang's safety directly determines the victory or defeat of the front line of the anti-Japanese resistance.

Originally, Yang Xiaoou thought that Wu Xiaoliang would retreat with the whole army and take the initiative to abandon Shandong, but after a few days of observation, he now believes that Wu Xiaoliang is actively preparing for war while preparing for the author's retreat.

Those who were transferred to the west were either second-line troops or reserves, and all his most elite troops remained at the forefront of the anti-Japanese resistance.

Under the form of today's warlord melee, when the cannon fodder plugs the gun's hole, it is all done by miscellaneous side lines, and his descendants must preserve their strength, and they cannot be used unless they have to, but this Wu Xiaoliang is just the opposite, all the big battles and tough battles are fought by the descendants, and most of their second-line troops with slightly inferior combat effectiveness are reserves, so in the past few years, his second army not only did not fight less, but also had two more brigades, and almost all the weapons and equipment were reequipped with new equipment with the support of Wu Xiaoliang.

Yang Xiaoou once worked in the Jin system, and he knew the sadness and helplessness of being a sideline, so he attached more importance to this fairness.

"Yiru, it's not that Xiaoliang doesn't leave, but the front line still needs me to sit here, these hundreds of thousands of troops are placed on the south bank of the Yellow River, waiting for them is a slim future, if I, the leader, leave first, why let them sacrifice their lives for the country."

Hearing this, Yang Xiaoou also suddenly felt his blood boiling, yes, isn't it the words of their generation of soldiers who have been reading for more than ten years to serve the country.

"Chairman, I won't leave my humble position, stay in Shandong and you *** devil."

Wu Xiaoliang waved his hand and shook his head, came to the courtyard and looked up at the sky and said: "No, the current shape needs you to go to Henan, Li Youting's troops in Henan are stretched, you go and help him." After a moment of silence, he said lonely: "Maybe it won't be long before you and my brother will meet again in Henan." ”
