Chapter 55: Playing a Big One (1)

At the beginning of 10 March, the reserve supplies of the First Strategic Group Army of the Southwest Special Administrative Region were finally delivered to Wuhu one after another, and Nie Rongzhen finally hardened his spirit. At the same time, Long Yun sent the Yunnan task force to finally arrive at the battlefield, Nie Rongzhen was not stingy, the weapons of the Southwest Army were openly supplied, and for a while, at least in terms of quantity, Nie Rongzhen became more than the Japanese army.

Gu Shoufu was not sent to the 6th Division, but continued to lead the 13th Division and the Shigeto Detachment, and at this time, Cai Tingkai's 27th Army arrived in Wuhu in time.

"Although Lao Cai has not yet arrived in Wuhu, our current strength has reached two to one with the Japanese army." Zuo Quan looked at Liu Yuan strangely, the Japanese army has been mobilized, and the Yunnan soldiers have arrived on the battlefield, and now they can be reactionary, why is Liu Yuan's expression so calm, what is he waiting for.

"What is the situation with the 6th Division?" Liu Yuan did not respond to Zuo Quan's puzzled gaze, but stared at the defense line of Nanjing's northern district, without Gu Shoufu's Sixth Division was still a group of mad dogs, Lan Yundong had been oppressed into a dog, and he knew that Lu Dao should not have transferred Hu Lian.

"The situation is very bad, Lan Yundong didn't obey the orders of the headquarters, he personally went to the city to direct the battle, and he was seriously injured, but the losses of the Japanese army are greater, and they should be able to hold out for a while.

Liu Yuan thought for a while, and didn't say anything, although the southern front was an advantage, but under the blow of the Sixth Division, the front line in the northern area seemed to be worse, and the troops from Fujian in Lan Yundong were still weaker. The Japanese planes and artillery have everything, this kid is a bit empty.

Ordered Fan Hanjie to set aside a division to support Lan Yundong and put it under Lan Yundong's personal command. Lan Yundong immediately marched into Si'an.

"What is the reaction of the Japanese?" Zuo Quan said worriedly.

"You're thinking too simply." Liu Yuan calmly pointed to the map, "Don't forget that the more than 20,000 people of the Thirteenth Division are still there?"

Once Nie Rongzhen launches a counterattack in Wuhu, Gu Shoufu will definitely come to the rescue quickly, so the counterattack on the southern front will be more difficult, so we must increase troops on the southern front and teach the devil a lesson.

"Isn't it too much fun, what should we do in Nanjing? Lost the damn crime. Zuo Quan was even more worried, but Zuo Quan also had to admire, and he definitely couldn't imagine the counterattack of the Yamada detachment.

"Yes, it's impossible for us to hand over Nanjing to the Japanese, and the chairman is not angry." Xie Yingbai also didn't understand what to do with the defensive line when the two main divisions were transferred.

If the Japanese really dare to take Nanjing, I will eat their 114th Division, I have just eaten a brigade-level detachment of theirs, and I am eating a standing division of him, I want to see how many divisions and regiments of the first class in Japan make them so defeated." Liu Yuan's voice was extremely calm, and Nanjing at this time had become a bargaining chip in his heart, not the capital.

"So we're going to fight the Japanese outside Nanjing. Can we? Xie Yingbai thought for a while and said.

"Have you thought about it, how do you explain to the chairman, what will you do if they throw the prime minister's grave!" Zuo Quan's face turned pale, Liu Yuan was really crazy like this.

"If they do anything to the prime minister's grave, one day in the future, I will learn from Wu Zixu, and don't even think about leaving any of the emperor's graves." Liu Yuan gritted his steel teeth and said that he gave up Nanjing, and the pressure he was under was very heavy.

"It's not so much in my eyes, the command of Chairman Chiang estimated that the time to defend the Japanese army was twenty days, and we have been backfighting for twenty-five days, and the Japanese army has only reached the periphery of Nanjing, and we have completed the character." Xie Yingbai said comfortingly.

Compared with Xie Yingbai, Liu Yuan was more self-comforting, he completely emptied all the people in Nanjing, and now there will be no massacre in Nanjing, and now the city of Nanjing is full of soldiers of the national army.

Gui Yongqing of the Central Teaching Regiment was arranged by Liu Yuan to garrison Purple Mountain, where a large number of artillery pieces were arranged, ready to teach the Japanese army a painful lesson.

After Gui Yongqing came to the headquarters, he found that the atmosphere at the headquarters was a little strange, and Zuo Quan told He Yingqin, the son-in-law, about the situation, and Gui Yongqing almost died of anger.

"Fuguo, you are crazy, the troops left by the Central Army have suffered heavy losses, a division can now have 9,000 people, it is good, if you want to give up Nanjing and fight a field battle with them, we all have to go to heaven." Gui Yongqing asked anxiously.

Gui Yongqing's words Liu Yuan knew very well that many officers of the Central Army were his good brothers, and they swallowed all the hardships in their hearts, so Hu Zongnan would never tell him that the losses of the First Army exceeded fifty percent. If it weren't for Huang Wei's injury, he went down to the grassroots level once, and after Zhao Yiman reported to him, he would definitely not know what to do. But the more this happens, the more he can't let these soldiers fight in the streets.

"Xiao Guizi, you said that I left the two divisions of Lan Yundong behind, can we hold Nanjing? The attack of the 6th, 15th, and 18th divisions is so strong, can it be held? Liu Yuan asked Gui Yongqing.

Gui Yongqing didn't speak, but Zuo Quan took the lead and said, "Defend the city, you are fifty percent sure." ”

"You have a really big heart," Liu Yuan looked at Zuo Quan, pointed to the map and said, "The two lines of defense have not stopped the Japanese army, but how much the consumption of the Central Army is, the Jiangyin fortress has been given to the Japanese army, what do we hold, the Japanese army is a naval power, as long as they can't take Nanjing, they will ask for support, and they can send other divisions at any time." ”

We can't afford to consume it here, if we have to insist, what is the difference between it and the mistake made by the chairman in the Battle of Songhu, we want to attract the Japanese army to keep attacking us, we keep retreating, the Japanese soldiers are limited, the more cities they occupy, the more dispersed their forces will be, the more we can concentrate our forces to fight back with the cooperation of the people, we have 2,000 to be the county seat, for this I am willing to give 1,200 to the little devils, and then take the life of their entire empire and break their backbone.

"I didn't expect that you haven't changed your strategy to this day, and I've seen what you're saying from the Red Party newspapers, and it's very similar to Mao's protracted war, but Mr. Jiang Baili is also talking about this topic. But to be reasonable, it is really uncomfortable to give up the city to the Japanese. Gui Yongqing sighed.

"Since we want to play big, we should be a little more crazy, and we can't ask for Danyang's soldiers, we must let the Japanese army see the hope of taking Nanjing, otherwise Matsui's character will be scared by us soon. He won't go on. Zuo Quan's heart was horizontal, and he also began to give Liu Yuan ideas.

Xie Yingbai was a little worried and said, "Matsui Shigen is not a mentally retarded person, I'm afraid that he will see our conspiracy." ”

"This is called Yangmou, and he can't do anything about it, do you think he can still control the division commanders under him now? They are crazy now that they want to take Nanjing, and they will be very happy to exchange a division for Nanjing. Liu Yuan said with a strange smile.

Today's meeting was carried out very quickly, the Chinese army continued to retreat, and the northern front was all in the hands of the Japanese army, and the 6th, 15th, and 18th divisions reached the periphery of Nanjing.
