After breaking through the position of the 38th Division in Xianning, the 60th Army, under the leadership of Lu Han, rushed towards Wuchang City.

Along the way, the Japanese army resisted several times, but fortunately, the Japanese army did not use too many troops here. Because of this, the entire 60th Army could easily break through the defense line one by one and kill under the city of Wuchang.

But this was the most difficult battle, and the Japanese army outside Wuchang City was as high as hundreds of thousands! Although it has experienced fierce battles, it still maintains strong combat effectiveness under strict military orders.

On the other hand, the 60th Army was exhausted after a series of hard battles. Not to mention the heavy casualties, even the ammunition ratio is not as good as before.

But Lu Han knew that this Wuchang City couldn't help but come by himself. Due to the encirclement of Wuchang by the Japanese army, almost all of the section from Wuchang to Nanjing fell, except for the area where Hu Zongnan and other troops were fighting, the rest of the part was almost controlled by the Japanese army.

Especially the Yangtze River, all of which are under the control of the Japanese army. It was firmly occupied by Japanese gunboats.

The order from Beijing had also reached Lu Han, and the order from the General Headquarters of the Wehrmacht was simple: at least the people of Wuchang City were to be evacuated and a gap should be opened for them.

At the same time, Lu Han was told that the Wehrmacht had been contacted on the Sichuan side. Janssen's troops would arrive on the battlefield after them, so Luján would not have to worry.

And Long Yun's telegram to Lu Han was simple: My son Rope Zeng had led an army to the battlefield. Yongheng must know that this is a national war. If it is defeated, the country will perish, and future generations will scold it.

Lu Han knew that the commander-in-chief he had made up his mind! I want to have a good fight with the Japanese army in this Wuchang City.

"Boom, boom...... The sound of gunfire resounded throughout Wuchang City, and the Central Army in Wuchang City also knew that reinforcements from outside had finally arrived and were breaking the gap for them.......

Suddenly, the morale that had been slack and sinking rose again. At the same time, "Chairman Chiang" once again inspected the battlefield and admonished loudly in his thick Fenghua accent: "It is the duty of a soldier to kill the enemy on the battlefield." ”

Yes, for a while, the morale of the central army in the entire Wuchang City was greatly boosted! Unexpectedly, several positions occupied by the Japanese army were recaptured at once, and the Japanese army had to carry out heavy artillery bombardment of Wuchang City.

"Resist!! Reinforcements are on the periphery. Resist!! The commander of the Central Army company on the position roared loudly, he was already missing an arm. But he still insisted on commanding on the battlefield, and there were only more than 30 people left in a company on the position.

This is already good, in fact, every Japanese shelling over the past few days has taken the lives of a large number of soldiers of the Central Army. With almost no fortifications, they had to defend themselves against the Japanese attack.

In many cases, a battalion of only a few dozen people came up and down. There are even cases where a regiment is lost. It also appears from time to time. Faced with this situation. Even the chairman of the committee can only constantly send troops upwards one by one.

"How many more people do we have?!" In the air-raid shelter, Dai Li couldn't help but ask Chen Cheng. And Chen Cheng raised his eyes to look at He Yingqin, and when he saw that his expression was as usual, he sighed.

"I don't know the specifics, but there are about 100,000 people who can continue to fight......," Dai Li, who was silent when he heard this, knowing that the entire air-raid shelter was now full of wounded.

There is a shortage of medical care and medicine, and there is not much food left. The war has been going on until now, and in Dai Li's opinion, this is a miracle. If you knew that you could hold it up to now, why did you let the principal withdraw at that time?!

Now it seems that this is really a bad move! If the principal is still there. Even if the gang of people in Chongqing have any ideas, I'm afraid they have to pinch.

It's a pity that there is no regret pill to take in this world. Zhou Fohai's defection and the death of Jiang Zhongzheng had a great impact on the whole of Chongqing, at least openly and secretly many people took refuge in the newly established Guangzhou government.

Wang Zhaoming, who was originally just a person in the wilderness, once again gained great prestige, and even used these people Wang Zhaoming to organize his own troops to prepare to assist the Japanese army in defense.

Although Hu Zongnan and other troops on the periphery are now desperately trying to open the gap, it seems that they have had little success now. The only one who broke through the encirclement of the Japanese army was the 60th Army of the Yunnan Army Longyun, which had long been in cahoots with the Wehrmacht.

For the state capital. None of this is good news.

Japanese fighters began to drop leaflets throughout Wuchang City half a month ago, with the news of Jiang Zhongzheng's death and the news of Jiang Dagongzi's serious injury.

Fortunately, most of the soldiers were illiterate, and the commanders were being watched to death by the military commanders. There was no chaos, but "Chairman Chiang" was still forced to go out on patrol many times to stabilize people's hearts.

Most of the young people in Wuchang City have been forced to participate in the war. If it weren't for the desperate battles these days, maybe Wuchang City would have been broken a long time ago. But even so. Dai Li and others don't think they can hold on.

The battle has reached this level, which has completely exceeded the expectations of He Yingqin, Chen Cheng and others. In terms of implementation, if it weren't for the fact that the Japanese encirclement was too tightly blocked, they would even choose to break through.

"What did Lu Yongheng say over there?!" He Yingqin asked the question he was most concerned about. Now only Lu Han's 60th Army has reached the outskirts of Wuchang City.

In other words, only Lu Han has the greatest chance to open the encirclement of Wuchang City.

"He wanted us to hold on and give him at least three days." Chen Cheng sighed and said: "He broke the resistance of the 38th Division, I think this is already commendable. Whether the encirclement can be broken now, I really dare not say......"

"Yang Sen's troops are on their way, and if Yang Sen's troops arrive, there may be a glimmer of hope......," Dai said, "My men have reported back, and the Japanese army has not locked up Yang Sen's men." They can still get there. ”

"Sichuan Army?! Those equipment of theirs ......" He Yingqin smiled and stopped talking. And Dai Li was also a little embarrassed, the Sichuan army was undoubtedly the messiest and worst of all the warlord troops.

The equipment is old-fashioned and even many are damaged, and those who command the battle are not so much soldiers as a group of bandits who have learned a little bit of military affairs. Most of the soldiers in command were peasants who had just laid down their hoes. The difference in combat effectiveness can be imagined.

Long Yun had finally bought some things from the French, and the Wehrmacht would not let them lack arms. The training aspect is not bad either. At least they can fight the Japanese army.

But what about the Sichuan Army?! No one dared to play this package ticket, and the Shangchuan army in the Battle of Songhu could only fill it with human lives. This was when the Japanese army only dispatched more than 200,000 people, but this time the Japanese army dispatched a large force of more than 300,000 people!

Many people think that Japan has done its best. But this is not the case.

Up to now, the three main major parts of the Japanese army in China are the three main armies of North China, Central China, and South China. Among them, the North China Front Army has about 240,000 troops, and the Central China Front Army plus the Shanghai Dispatch Army totals about 350,000 people.

The South China Front now has no more than 200,000 troops. In other words, in fact, the number of Japanese troops actually fighting in China was less than a million people. Even with the addition of the Kwantung Army in Korea, all the Japanese troops were about one million.

This is less than half of the more than 4.1 million combat troops that Japan directly invested in China in the middle of World War II. In 1937, Japan's total population was 70.63 million, of which 16.93 million were men of military age, and the number of men of military age who could be conscripted accounted for about 56.2%, or about 10 million.

At this time, the total strength of the Japanese army was more than 1 million, and during the war, Japan finally expanded the army to more than 72000000. When Japan invaded China in an all-out way, the total strength of the Japanese army in China remained basically at 2 million.

In other words, Japan has not yet fully mobilized all of its forces. The reason for this, first of all, was the loss of the Manchurian and Mongolian bases, which led to the fact that the Japanese army did not have much equipment to arm its own troops.

Therefore, the expansion of the army can only be suspended. Second, the Battle of Songhu made Japan think that its current forces were enough to sweep the entire national capital. They plan to directly occupy it, and then use resources to feed the war.

In some respects, this idea has already been partially realized, and Wang Zhaoming's Guangzhou State Government was built for this purpose. The fall of Guangzhou, Shanghai, Jiangsu and other places gave the Japanese army a lot of convenience.

These conveniences made the Japanese army reluctantly start their own conscription plan.

"Boom, boom...... Outside the city ......of Wuchang, the battle continued. Luhan yelled at his subordinates, "I don't care about casualties!" I don't care about the hard work! I just want Wuchang City! Either you die on the battlefield, or you step back and shoot you! ”

Although, this is an old man who has followed Luján for many years. Although, he was carried in. But Lu Han still shouted at him: "This battle, or we will win!" Keep fighting, or we'll lose! Be poked in the backbone by future generations! There is no other way for us to choose ......."

"Commander! Commander...... Leave some seeds for our 60th Army......" The man lying on the stretcher whimpered with tears: "We didn't think about going back after killing from our hometown...... But at least...... At least leave some seeds for our Sixty Army......"

"Leave a fart! If you lose here, the country will be gone, and my 60th Army will have a fart! Lu Han shouted angrily at the man: "The commander-in-chief has personally signed the order, and if we win this battle, our 60th Army will be expanded into a group army!" If you want someone, he will give it, and if you want a gun, he will take it! ”

"If you can't win, revoke the number! Let's all go home and retire! ”

Saying that, Lu Han took a deep breath: "Our 60th Army, it depends on whether Jackie Chan is an adult or an adult." Which of those legions of the Wehrmacht was not killed in a sea of corpses and blood?! To protect the brand of our 60th Army, the only way to fill it is to fill it with human lives! (To be continued)
