Chapter 113: Defeat after defeat
Liu Jianxu fought unfavorably, lost Kunshan, the front line of the Tenth Army was defeated, which led to the defeat of the 21st Group Army, and a division of the Japanese army easily conquered Kunshan, Chiang Kai-shek was very angry, but he didn't say anything, he knew that the reason why the war came to this point was all because of himself, so this time he chose not to speak, but to wait for Liu Yuan's order.
Liu Yuan re-entered the Third Theater of Operations, and the information in each area was instantly unimpeded, and all units continuously sent telegrams to the headquarters to confirm the information. Du Yuming's brain was buzzing, and he finally retreated one after another according to the original plan, so that the Japanese naval artillery had no chance to exert its might, and the 33rd Group Army had just entered the position, and they actually ran away.
"At what level did the commander's briefing go?" Du Yuming asked the confidential staff officer beside him.
"It hasn't been passed down yet, and the combat mood below is already very bad, if they know it, I'm afraid it will affect the combat mood." The confidential staff officer is the top student brought by Liu Yuan, and this time Du Yuming specially asked Liu Yuan.
"Yes, tell Yu Xuezhong that the battle can't be fought, send a brigade tonight to launch an attack on the Japanese position, and the artillery brigade will run out all the shells and prepare to transfer." Du Yuming said angrily.
"Commander (the supreme commander of the army group is also called the commander, and the commander of the third theater of operations is not the same title. If we let the artillery cover it with artillery fire, then what will happen to our artillery when we retreat. The confidential staff officer asked suspiciously.
"There is no way to do this, if we don't use artillery, the enemy will be suspicious and think that we are going to run, and without artillery, we will not be able to break through the enemy's position so easily. You go and give an order, let Yu Xuezhong hold on, let them break the division, and I will ask Fuguo to supplement him when he goes back. Du Yuming gritted his teeth and said fiercely.
After Yu Xuezhong learned the news, although it was very atmospheric, but there was no superfluous way, after all, the comrades-in-arms were not good, did they still let them come back, so they began to replenish ammunition silently, the time just arrived at seven o'clock, when the Japanese army was eating, Yu Xuezhong personally led the troops to counterattack the Japanese army.
The Japanese army was not prepared at all, you must know that they were opposite the troops in charge of the palace, and it would be good if they didn't fight them, how could they come to attack the great Japanese Empire? But they really couldn't imagine that the enemy had attacked them, and it was a group charge, a group charge with a sea of people.
The squad leaders can fire grenades in their hands, and all Japanese firepower points are on fire, and they will be blasted immediately, and all bunkers and bunkers will be destroyed with flamethrowers, and the raging flames can instantly burn everything in the Japanese bunkers.
Looking at the battlefield of fighting, Taicang Truth quietly began to retreat, the artillery shells have run out, the artillerymen urgently hung the shells on the truck, and the truck pulled the artillery to retreat, a team of wounded soldiers got into the car, and quietly followed the convoy with good legs and feet, leaving the battlefield.
Yu Xuezhong was too ruthless, and continuously broke through the Japanese positions, so that the Japanese commander thought that the Chinese troops must have some conspiracy, and did not dare to fight at all, and in the middle of the night, Yu Xuezhong quietly retreated, leaving a dead body to the Japanese army, and the Japanese army lost more than 2,000 soldiers in a fierce battle, and when they reconnoitred the front line, there was no one left in Taicang.
The Japanese army was annoyed and angry, and Matsui Shigen personally ordered that this branch of the army must be taught a lesson, but they couldn't have imagined that Yu Xuezhong was still followed by Xu Zheng of the special brigade, and all kinds of tricky mines and mines along the way, the enemy had no temper at all, and finally there were no mines, and a few machine guns would suddenly appear on the flanks, and the Japanese army would be worse off than dead.
After the war, Nanjing was not safe, rich gentlemen, dignitaries, and nobles all left Nanjing in a hurry with their finances, and ordinary people did not have this opportunity, because they could not even afford to buy ferry tickets, and as soon as the ship to transport troops arrived, it would be full of government officials and businessmen.
On December 5, Chiang Kai-shek officially announced that the Nanjing government would move its capital to Chongqing, and Chongqing would become the wartime capital.
With the issuance of Chiang Kai-shek's order, the people of Nanjing finally lost the last glimmer of hope, and those who could leave chose to leave Nanjing, resulting in the blockage of water and land transportation, and the arrival of reinforcements in various regions became a problem in Nanjing.
"Stand upright!" The voice of the soldier was very powerful, a group of major generals stood up under the leadership of a lieutenant general, waiting respectfully for something, and the merchants looked at everything in front of them in confusion, didn't they lose the battle? Why did they still come to Nanjing?
The leading general is not tall, but he is extraordinarily energetic, the three gold stars on his military uniform are so dazzling, and he is followed by a group of two-star lieutenant generals.
"It's such a big show, a group of young people will take over, even Chairman Jiang doesn't have this treatment." The merchant was paddying on the side.
"The capital can't be saved, so they came, in order to preserve their strength, lose the face of our Chinese." Several university teachers angrily accused.
"Don't talk nonsense, it's Commander Liu who is here, and we are saved. We are saved. Several civil servants excitedly wanted to get close to Liu Yuan, but were stopped by the special guard.
"What, Commander Liu is back, wasn't he forced to leave the war zone by the chairman? At this time, he chose to come back to clean up the mess, and it was really a husband. Someone said admiringly.
"What is this, the commander's father is seriously ill and may die at any time, the commander chooses to come to the battlefield at this time, I'm afraid it will be difficult to see his father's last side." Someone felt sorry for Liu Yuan.
Liu Yuan was very busy, and the old turtledove next to him told Liu Yuan about the materials little by little, and the strategic materials in reserve were fully activated, and without these materials, it would be difficult for the Southwest Army to recover its combat effectiveness after withdrawing from the battlefield. and Liu Yuan specially looked for Liao Yaoxiang and them, and looked at the results of their training. They may also be going to war.
In order to support the war to continue, Chen Yun and Lin Lijie personally fought in Wuhan and helped Liu Yuan transfer materials and batches of artillery. Trucks were delivered to the front, barrels of oil were developed from the Northwest and then transported to the front, and planes began to set sail, ready to replenish the battlefield.
"Fuguo, it's hard work, the principal asked me to pick you up." Qian Dajun didn't pretend to be anything in front of Liu Yuan, his tone was very respectful, now Liu Yuan is in full swing, no one wants to offend him, if he fights Japan according to his strategic plan, it is impossible for the current situation to happen.
Liu Yuan saluted and said, "Let the instructor come and pick me up, I'm really scared." The principal summoned me, did he discuss the matter of Wu Fuxian? ”
Qian Dajun's face was very ugly, and he choked up for a long time and said, "Chen Cixiu is incompetent, and the Wufu defense line is already Japanese." ”
"Three days, three days to lose the Wufu defense line, even if it is a pig, it is enough for the Japanese to catch it." Although Liu Yuan was emotionally stable, he couldn't help but tease Chen Cheng.
"No way, the 88th Division, the 87th Division, the 36th Division, and Huang Weijun, although they are all very elite troops, but in the first phase of the battle, they have suffered extremely heavy losses, and they are supplemented by troops with no combat experience, and the only one with the strength to fight is your 33rd Group Army, but it is difficult to ......support it alone," Qian Dajun explained.
"What about General Xue Yue? He has two ace armies under him? Liu Yuan asked.
"General Xue Yue's two group armies have suffered too heavy losses, and they have no combat capability, and they have now been transferred off the battlefield to rest."
