Chapter 57: Playing a Big Game (3)
Gu Shoufu, who was originally excited to die, was very angry at this time, he felt that Matsui Shigen was one level inferior to Liu Yuan in terms of strategy, so it was wrong for the base camp to send Matsui to command the battle. It is completely wrong for me to rush south in such a hurry, what if the enemy concentrates his forces to surround the point and send reinforcements? As a proud Japanese, Tani Toshio had never felt so passive in battle.
The 114th Division really couldn't hold on, although they were a division, although they were extremely loyal to His Majesty the Great Emperor, although the fanatical daredevils were willing to hold explosives bags and shout Long live the Emperor to sacrifice, but more than 100,000 elite soldiers going south were in hand, Nie Rongzhen was really too fat, and there were really too many troops under his command. The 114th Division began to seek an opportunity to break through, and if it did not break through, all the Japanese troops would be annihilated.
At this time, the Japanese felt the aura of terror, first the Yamada detachment, this time the 114th Division, General Liu Yuan's appetite is getting bigger and bigger, if it continues like this, will the next time he be directly interested in an army, and even many Japanese soldiers began to think about whether they can defeat the Chinese.
British military observer experts were slapped in the face, because they thought that the war would last for three months at most, but the Chinese were still hot when they defeated November, and the American experts were slapped in the face, because the war was going on until the New Year, and today German experts also feel the horror, because the Chinese have been holding out for more than half a year, what a terrible thing.
The Germans bluntly admit that there are many of their students studying abroad in China, where they learn the command mode needed when many large-scale operations, such as mountain warfare, desert warfare, and forest warfare, cannot be used perfectly.
Of course, the Americans also began to brag, because many of China's submachine guns, Garand rifles and even heavy machine guns were imported from them, and they shined on the Chinese battlefield, which also indirectly shows that the US arms industry is really very strong, and has ushered in a large number of orders for the United States. Of course, the Americans will not say about the copycat habits of the Chinese, but the orders of the Germans, the Soviets, the French have already reached the southwest.
Of course, the Americans have always hoped to get RPGs and other weapons that shine on the Chinese battlefield, but they have not had the opportunity.
The Japanese also lost the fanaticism at the beginning of the war, and even some elites began to think rationally about whose comrades-in-arms had the advantage in the war.
You must know that a few days ago, the news that the Yamada detachment was almost wiped out just came to the road, and there were only 2,000 left of the detachment's more than 10,000 people, and now in Wuhu, China actually used Nanjing as a bait to carry out a larger-scale encirclement and annihilation, they cut off the front line of the Great Japanese Empire, and successfully killed the captain of the two sides, several captains, and the 114th Division was seeking the most rear-end chance to escape.
Even more hateful things are still to come, the cowardly and incompetent Matsui Shigen actually looked at Nanjing and drew a circle and commanded the troops to go to the southern front, are the Chinese troops really that strong?
At this time, Liu Yuan was being interviewed by his student Lin Huiyin, Lin Huiyin may have become thinner because of being on the battlefield, but the look in his eyes has been chopped a lot, and Xu Zhimo, who has been secretly stumped these days, has also made a lot of progress.
He no longer writes about those Yingying Yanyu, and the content of his articles is more enthusiastic and combative, but when he saw Lin Huiyin looking at Liu Yuan with a look of adoration, the unhappiness in his heart was still written on his face. Of course, he can only be jealous, but he can't do anything else. The clenched fist of the last man loosened, and he quietly watched Liu Yuan talk to Lin Huiyin.
Liu Yuan's eyes only had war in his eyes, his expression was very relaxed at the moment, he clapped his hands and said, "We said before the war that there will be a protracted war between China and Japan, and we will use our vast territory as a grave for the Japanese, drag them down, and consume them, so far our strategy is very successful, and it seems that we look up to the Japanese, their combat effectiveness is not as strong as imagined, from the Battle of Songhu to today, our national army has lost more than 500,000 soldiers, and what about the Japanese army?" The official figure is only 150,000, but I can tell you very clearly that the number we got is 270,000, and I feel that it will not take a few years to defeat the Japanese. ”
Liu Yuan's words are very powerful, Lin Huiyin is very excited, many surrender factions are making nonsense these days, and one of their powerful views is that the Nanjing government can't hold Nanjing, but what's wrong with not being able to hold Nanjing, we don't care about the gains and losses of a city at all.
At this moment, Nanjing has long become a dead city, all the people have moved away, and there are only tired soldiers left, as long as there is no war, they will not come out, of course, there are some volunteers and intelligence officers who have not retreated, they are helping the army to do something, but they are not civilians anymore.
Although the situation was very serious, the atmosphere in Nanjing was not so bad, and their party representatives had already explained to them that the city of Nanjing would not be defended, and everyone only needed to retreat according to the arrangements of the camp when the time came. Now that the devils are running to the southern front, they have nothing to do, and the party representatives and officers take the time to teach their soldiers to write and instill in them the idea of three righteousness.
Today, the ideological consciousness of the Central Army has become very high, and most of their party representatives have gone to the southwest for further study, and their political and ideological level is very high, and they have a very thorough understanding of the revised three ** meanings, and they have a great influence on the soldiers, so they have a very high status among the soldiers.
Chiang Kai-shek finally left Nanjing, of course, he was sent away by a plane sent by Liu Yuan, Chiang Kai-shek's heart was very stressed, so he couldn't sleep at night and took some sleeping drugs, and was quietly sent to the plane when he was asleep, and when Chiang Kai-shek woke up, he had already arrived in Nanjing.
For this matter, Chiang Kai-shek and Soong Meiling had a great conflict, and if it wasn't for Soong Ching-ling criticizing Chiang Kai-shek, Chiang Kai-shek would have to return to Nanjing.
However, although the people were in Nanjing, their hearts were on the battlefield, and Chiang Kai-shek knew his weaknesses and did not interfere in the military command, but the military committee met every day.
Chiang Kai-shek sat with He Yingqin and discussed the military situation, although the gathering and annihilation of the Yamada detachment a few days ago failed, but the results were absolutely brilliant, close to the results of 10,000 people, and the Jedi was an exciting thing.
At this time, Chiang Kai-shek was holding the newspaper written by Lin Huiyin in his hand, and he was proud of being better than the students of the Military Committee, "The little devils still don't admit it, 270,000 is 270,000, why don't they admit it, their Yamada detachment was destroyed by us, and the 114th Division is also happy, this is another income. ”
Of course, the military committee would not say that Liu Yuan's command attainments were not good, so they were flattering Chiang Kai-shek over and over again, and at this time, Lin Wei hurriedly walked over.
"Chairman, the situation has changed a little." Lin Wei's voice was not loud, but everyone heard it, and everyone's faces changed suddenly. Is there something big going on?
