Chapter 119: Blood and Tears in Nanjing (4)
Liu Yuan's orders were issued from the headquarters one by one, and the entire Nanjing battlefield immediately took action, one of Liu Yuan's greatest contributions to China was to improve his staff system, and Gu Shoufu's mad dog-like attack completely angered Liu Yuan, so Liu Yuan decided to teach the Japanese a lesson.
Most of the troops on the battlefield are his descendants, even if they are not his descendants, they are all classmates of his own Whampoa, so Liu Yuan can be said to be handy with his transfer, but they don't know what Liu Yuan, who has always been proactive, will be tired of dealing with it this time, is it that even he has no power to return to the sky?
Matsui Shigen is in a good mood now, he never dreamed that when his life was the saddest, Chiang Kai-shek actually transferred Liu Yuan away, allowing him to easily take Shanghai, and now he also knows that Liu Yuan is back, but Matsui Shigen is not afraid, the overall situation has been decided, even if it is you Liu Yuan, nothing can be changed.
In order to boost morale, Matsui Shigen personally led the two divisions to the front line, you must know that the troops who logged in early in the early days of Ludao took the third division as an example, and the losses were extremely heavy, especially Luodian is said to have a general named Huang Wei, and there is a general named Song Xilian in the urban area, and a general named Du Yuming, who really hit his troops hard, he was not going to bring them to the front line, but as a result, they elected the commander of the third division and found themselves, they hoped to continue fighting, Matsui Shigen was very moved, Personally took them to the battlefield.
No matter how the people in Tokyo scolded Matsui Shigen, but only those who had been to the Songhu battlefield knew that this war was too cruel, at least more than 150,000 imperial soldiers were lying on the territory of Shina forever, and they were very grateful to Matsui, if it wasn't for Matsui, they might have died more. So when Matsui personally came to the front, the Japanese attack became extremely fierce.
The commanders of the 13th Division, the 15th Division, the 16th Division, and the commanders of the three divisions risked being sniped by snipers and personally commanded the battle on the front line.
The weather was very cold at night, and the soldiers of the 71st Army wore the cotton clothes given to them by the southwest, which was very warm, of course, they didn't like the feeling of green very much, Wang Jingzhi rode on a war horse, and always fantasized about his sassy and heroic feeling, but he didn't expect that Liu Yuan would transfer back to himself with an order.
Trucks carrying 150 howitzers, rows of southwest soldiers, walking neatly, steel guns in their hands braving cold light, they are responsible for defending Danyang......
Fan Hanjie looked at the soldiers running with the car, his old classmate finally let himself go to the battlefield, but he didn't know where his knife would be used after he left Nanjing.
The battle in Wuhu was very tense, and the Fifth Division and the 114th Pair of Positions attacked frantically, but under the calm response of the Southwest Army, it was difficult to advance one step.
The atmosphere in Nanjing became extremely strange, the whole of Nanjing was hundreds of kilometers deep, and there were battles everywhere, and although the Japanese army had an advantage, it was unable to expand.
The angry Matsui Shigen has been scolding Liu Yuan for being a woman, men should open and close when they fight, there are so many from there, hiding and tucking, not at all, but Matsui is also worried. Will Liu Yuan have a sharp knife in his hand, ready to stab himself at any time.
Hu Lian's march was very fast, of course, Gu Shoufu's march was also very fast, and the two of them soon met at Yangkou, Gu Shoufu, a mad dog, finally met his opponent, and it was difficult to advance an inch.
However, the situation of Jiangyin fortress could not allow Liu Yuan to hesitate, and Liu Yuan had no choice but to order the troops to withdraw, Du Yuming withdrew from Wuxi, Huang Wei's 18th Army and 72nd Army fought the Japanese army in a bloody battle, and Matsui Shigen, who laid down Wuxi, was extremely crazy, and his purpose was very clear, that is, to break into the flank of Huang Wei's army and cut off the retreat of the Chinese army.
More and more officers died on the way to retreat, first Zhu Chi, then Gao Zhisong, and along the way, at least seven or eight major generals and dozens of colonels were killed.
Today, it is difficult for us to imagine the picture of the major general holding the charge in his hand, with the remaining remnants of the army, fighting with the Japanese army, and exchanging life for friendly troops, but he does exist. Many years later, when everyone was discussing the chairman's life at the meeting and making it so sad, Liu Yuan's words broke through the sky, too many hot-blooded generals in Songhu and Nanjing died, and they didn't want us to continue fighting.
The war was too tragic, the Japanese army still caught up with the 18th Army, Huang Wei took his sick body and personally cut off the rest of the troops, at this moment, he absolutely gave up the thirst for life.
Huang Wei knew that he should be grateful to Liu Yuan, if it weren't for Liu Yuan's attention, he would only be a division commander at most now, and it was Liu Yuan's support that made Chen Cheng appreciate himself, let himself become a lieutenant general, and die for a confidant, at this moment Huang Wei was ready to die.
After Liu Yuan heard about the deeds of his old classmates, tears of emotion flowed out, he personally sent a telegram to Du Yuming, asking Du Yuming to set up a blocking front, covering the eighteenth army and the seventy-second army after the break, if Huang Wei died in battle, don't say that he didn't want to go, even Chen Cheng would not forgive himself, to be honest, this order is not very wise, but it gave life to the two heroic teams of the eighteenth army and the seventy-second army.
On January 5, Huang Wei entered Du Yuming's defense area, before he had time to retreat, the Japanese drama and Du Yuming exchanged fire, Du Yuming personally commanded the 24th Army of the 33rd Group Army and the enemy in a bloody battle, Sun Lianzhong personally led a division, into the enemy's flank, but the Japanese desperately bit Sun Lianzhong's division, in desperation, the two sides carried out a tragic fierce battle, from the battle of Tianming to the sunset, the losses of both sides were extremely heavy, the 33rd Group Army lost 9,000 people, and the Japanese army lost more than 8,300 people. Taking advantage of the rest of the Japanese army, Du Yuming arranged for the soldiers to retreat overnight.
After the 18th Army and the 72nd Army finally withdrew into Nanjing to recuperate, and then captured the Yangtze River overnight, Du Yuming and the Southwest Army converged, and continued to build positions in Danyang to prepare for the battle with the Japanese army.
"Chairman, it's time for us to go." He Yingqin said with advice on the side.
Chiang Kai-shek knelt in front of the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum, tears kept flowing down his eyes, "Prime Minister, Zhongzheng is incompetent, lost Kyoto, I don't know if Lu Dao can get it back in his lifetime, I swear to you, life is endless, and the battle will not stop." ”
I don't know if the prime minister has a spirit, but it rained lightly at the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum, and Chiang Kai-shek knelt in the rain, and two more people appeared beside Chiang Kai-shek.
Liu Yuan took out an umbrella and propped it on Chiang Kai-shek's head, and Li Erniu placed a bouquet of flowers in front of the premier's tomb instead of Liu Yuan.
"I'm incompetent." Chiang Kai-shek did not look at He Yingqin, but asked Liu Yuan, who frowned and did not speak. Chiang Kai-shek smiled bitterly, "Since I can't say it, don't say it, I want to stay here, I'm afraid that the Japanese will dig up the grave of our prime minister." Chiang Kai-shek's tears kept flowing down, like a helpless child.
I have something to do today, and I don't have time to correct the typo, so you can leave a message, and I'll go back and revise it.
