Chapter 765: Look at your chaos
The battle has been fought so far, and Lieutenant General Yoji Fujii is full of bitterness. 9 These troops from Yunnan were indeed difficult to contain, and the 38th Division suffered heavy losses after several battles.
The supporting troops had not yet arrived, and the entire front could only rely on the 38th Division to support itself. The main forces of the Japanese army were all arranged on the front line of Wuhan, trying to capture Wuhan in the fastest way.
But now it is in a tug-of-war, and the ground positions have been captured and recaptured again. Although it controlled the entire outlying position of Wuhan, it was never able to attack the city of Wuhan.
The Central Army in Wuchang City had lost more than 80,000 men, and the Japanese troops outside were not comfortable. So far, two divisions have been beaten to half-cripples, and the remaining divisions and regiments are also incomplete.
Basically, the Japanese army left almost 30,000 people here. This battle is a tough battle for the Central Army. And for the Japanese army, why not?! It was the hardest battle they had ever fought since Songhu.
Wuchang City was able to preserve so much vitality because Jiang Zhongzheng hoarded a large number of materials and built a large number of air-raid shelters here for his own safety.
At the same time, the chain of bunkers, moats and fortifications also made Wuchang City difficult to attack. If it weren't for the unprecedented frog jumping tactics of the Japanese army, it would probably not even be able to surround Wuchang City.
"Chirp...... Boom, boom......, boom, boom "Outside Wuchang City, the roar of bombing and heavy artillery continued to explode. The Japanese shouted and tried to break through the positions of the Central Army.
However, the inspection that "Jiang Zhongzheng" had just arrived made these soldiers pluck up their courage again. In the fierce fighting on the battlefield, no one took a step back.
"Liu Xiang's troops are already on their way, and the first to arrive should be Yang Sen's troops." In the air-raid shelter, Chen Cheng said in a deep voice to everyone.
"Now that we're breaking through, we don't have much chance of success. Once the news of the death of the chairman spreads, it will be even more unfavorable for us. Although the 20th Army is said to be a miscellaneous brand, the equipment is not good. But it's a force. If they can break the siege, it will be good for us. Even if we can't, we can reduce the pressure a lot......"
When Jiang Zhongzheng really died, Chen Cheng, the "little chairman", exerted all his strength. There is no way, he knows from the bottom of his heart that although he is called "little chairman", he is never the chairman of Jiang Zhongzheng.
All he can do is keep using his brains and powers to keep himself safe. Chen Cheng pinched his brows and looked at He Yingqin. He Yingqin is undoubtedly the biggest obstacle to Chen Cheng's actions now.
He Yingqin has deep roots in the Whampoa system, and even Jiang Zhongzheng can't easily move him. If he had expressed his opposition, then Chen Cheng's entire plan would have been stranded.
"The rhetoric is that we don't have a very good chance of breaking through right now. It will also lead to discouragement of the military. Unexpectedly, He Yingqin chose to support Chen Cheng.
After Jiang Zhongzheng's death, He Yingqin thought a lot. For He Yingqin, now is not the time to fight for power. Surviving and escaping is the right thing to do.
If it's dead, there's nothing. No matter how powerful it is, what can it be?! He Yingqin figured it out, Chen Cheng's command ability was only stronger than him, not weaker.
Listening to this "little chairman" is right after all.
"Good! So we decided. Chen Cheng couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw that He Yingqin agreed with his opinion: "Externally, we issue orders in the name of the chairman. At the same time, it is explained that the news that the Janssen Department is coming......"
At the same time, fierce fighting broke out in Wanjialing. Xue Yuezheng, the general and commander-in-chief of the 19th Group Army, led his troops to launch a fierce attack on the Japanese army on Wanjialing!
After learning that Jiang Zhongzheng was besieged, Xue Yue was in a hurry! He commanded the 1st and 9th Armies, the 10th Group Army, Yu Hanmou of the 4th Army, Ye Zhao of the 66th Army, Yu Jishi of the 74th Army, the 187th Division, the 91st Division, the 142nd Division, the 60th Division, the 19th Division, the 13th Division, the 6th Reserve Division, a brigade of the 139th Division, and a brigade of the 15th Division...... and other troops totaling more than 100,000 people came to Wuhan.
On the Japanese side, the 106th Division was responsible for the defense of Wanjialing, and the division commander, Lieutenant General Junrokuro Matsuura, was in charge. It has the 1st Infantry Brigade, the 136th Brigade and one wing of cavalry, artillery, engineer and baggage. There are more than 12,000 people in total.
The main forces of the Japanese army were attacking the city of Wuchang, and there were simply no spare forces to support the 106th Division. Lieutenant General Junrokuro Matsuura could only grit his teeth and resist Xue Yue's fierce attack to the death.
Fortunately, the Japanese planes were finally able to provide some support, which allowed Lieutenant General Junrokuro Matsuura to support him until now.
"Red deer! Tell them, don't report me casualties. I don't want to hear that, all I want is the position! Position!! Lieutenant General Junrokuro Matsuura, with red eyes, yelled at his lieutenant.
"Hay!" The adjutant could only take a bow, turn and retreat.
Junrokuro Matsuura gasped for breath, unbuttoned his shirt and cursed
Xue Yue's neuropathy continued to attack. If it weren't for the fact that most of the soldiers who enlisted this time were veterans, and the Japanese army occupied the strengths of fortifications, firepower, and individual quality, the position might have been defeated long ago.
But Junrokuro Matsuura also knew that this was not the way to go. If the war continued like this, the rout of the Japanese army was only a matter of time. But Junrokuro Matsuura sent more than one telegram to the headquarters and even the base camp asking for tactical guidance.
But all of these were lost in the sea, and the only order given by the military department was: to defend it.
So skeptical?! They had ten times as many troops, although they had fortifications, firepower, and even air superiority. But the inferiority of forces is irreparable.
These are not the kind of troops that can be defeated when touched in various parts of China, these are the main forces of the Central Army of the National Government! The commander is still Jiang Zhongzheng's confidant and favorite general - Xue Yue.
Since the beginning of the war, the 106th Division has lost more than half of its troops. These were all lost in Xue Yue's attack, although he knew that Xue Yue's losses on the opposite side were not small.
But people can afford to lose, but they can't afford to lose! If the fight continues like this, the best result is that the forces will gradually decrease, and they will eventually be forced to retreat.
"Mr. Kagesa, you can take a look. Here's a list of contacts I've reached out to. In the city of Guangzhou, Wang Zhaoming smiled and handed Ying Zuo a document bag.
In this document bag, there are those former high-ranking officials of the state government who Wang Zhaoming contacted.
Although the news of Jiang Zhongzheng's death has become mysterious, those high-ranking officials in the national government naturally have their own sources. Soon, the news that Jiang Zhongzheng had actually died in battle spread in a small area in Chongqing.
Immediately, people were panicked, and Zhou Fohai, who secretly took refuge in Wang Zhaoming, also took the opportunity to start his activities. Zhou Fohai served as the deputy director of Jiang Zhongzheng's chamberlain and the acting director of the Propaganda Department of the State Government.
He was lucky enough to return to Chongqing to do his work before the Battle of Wuhan broke out. Therefore, he was not surrounded in Wuhan City, and he was one of the few people who could know that Jiang Zhongzheng had actually died in Wuhan.
Wang Zhaoming's contact came very timely, and Zhou Fohai had originally said, "Seeing that there is no actual assistance to China in the international community except for moral assistance and spiritual sympathy, and at the same time, China's national strength could not catch up with Japan at that time, so I have no confidence in the war of resistance." ”
Yes, the contact with Wang Zhaoming was an instant hit! even secretly helped Wang Zhaoming to act, and won over many vacillating government officials.
And Wang Zhaoming's good friend Chen Gongbo is naturally included, Chen Gongbo was originally hesitant to go directly to Japan. But Zhou Fohai did not hesitate to inform him of the news of Jiang Zhongzheng's death.
"China's national strength can no longer fight," and "if the enemy attacks Chongqing again, we will be destroyed." If China dies, how can it be restored?! Brother has great talent and knowledge. Please think twice......"
Wang Zhaoming's words and Jiang Zhongzheng's death formed the final hammer to defeat Chen Gongbo's psychological defense. He chose Wang Zhaoming and chose to support Wang Zhaoming with Zhou Fohai.
The dark clouds in Chongqing City were thick, and in fact, the Song family, the Kong family, and even the Chen family were aware of it. But there's nothing they can do now. These people are not something they can easily control, and if they are suppressed at this time, it may not provoke more people to choose to leave.
They could only grit their teeth and wait for the return of the Huangpu Department and the Grand Prince Jiang. Then play "The Return of the King", and then clean up these people.
In the city of Beijing, Tu Qianjun sneered as he pinched the reports sent from everywhere.
Zhou Fohai and Chen Gongbo chose to be traitors after all. The hearts of these people do not belong to the people. Even when they reach the point of losing their country, they have to do everything they can to win the rights.
Of course, as "literati", these people still have to set up a torii even if they do it. For example, what kind of nonsense such as "curve to save the country" ~ "Greater East Asia Co-prosperity". Then he was worried about the country and the people in his diary, and in reality he betrayed the country and land.
This has also become the so-called "evidence" that some people in later generations have overturned their cases, and used the worries of those people in their diaries to refute their past traitorous behavior.
As everyone knows, this is really ridiculous. Isn't what you write in your diary more important than what they do?! If that's the case, then any miscellaneous pieces, just need to express their helplessness and worry about the country and the people in their diary, even if they sell their parents, then it can be understood?!
These people's thinking really doesn't know what to say.
"Where is the second artillery now?! How many people arrived?! Tu Qianjun put down the telegram, raised his head and asked Su Zongzhe, who was looking at the map.
"The current location of the Second Artillery is here, and more than 500 vehicles have arrived at the designated position." Su Zongzhen pointed to a point on the map and said in a deep voice.
"Commander, when are we going to attack?!"
Tu Qianjun smiled faintly and said softly: "When those bull ghosts, snake and gods all jump out, we will attack again." Strive to clean up all at once and leave no scourge behind! ”。 (To be continued)
