The Battle of Songhu knocked out a lot of the courage of the Chinese army, and the resistance was not so strong, the Wufu line was quickly broken is an example, but Liu Yuan quickly found a new defensive area, starting from the Jiangyin fortress to Wuxi on the bank of Taihu Lake, to build a tighter defense line, although the defense line was shortened, but it was stronger, the fortress of pure concrete reinforcement, every other area, there are cleverly designed pillboxes, large-caliber fortress guns, without the support of naval artillery of the Japanese army, absolutely can not blow up this line of defense.

Liu Yuan personally transferred Chen Cheng to the new defense line to preside over the defensive work, in order to prevent the instructor from embarrassing him in the command headquarters, but Liu Yuan did delegate power, and Chen Cheng could mobilize a lot of troops.

Chen Cheng mobilized the First Army and the 36th Army to be responsible for defending Wuxi, with such elite troops, then the probability of the Japanese army wanting to destroy from the flank was reduced to a minimum, and his 18th Army and 87th Division were also responsible for a very important defensive line, Yuecheng.

Chen Cheng did patrol day and night, but Chen Cheng really didn't expect that the Japanese army would take the 18th Army as a breakthrough and choose a fierce battle, Huang Wei, who was no longer seriously injured, could not personally command the troops, and it was Luo Zhuoying who temporarily commanded the troops.

Liu Yuan was very shocked after learning the news, and called Chen Cheng in a rage, "If you can't hold the defense line and can't buy more time for Nanjing, I can change to other commanders." ”

Chen Cheng felt that his dignity had been greatly hit, and he knew that Liu Yuan had already given himself a lot of face, if he wasn't his instructor, he wouldn't even have the treatment of guarding the defensive line.

Chen Cheng, who was in the fire, personally commanded the troops to carry out a major counteroffensive against the Japanese breakthrough troops, and the firepower of a heavy artillery brigade and the support of aircraft carried out a frantic counterattack on the Japanese army. The 15th and 18th Divisions of the Japanese Army both sent elite troops to support the 13th Division, and the battle was extremely fierce.

In order to relieve the pressure of the 16th Division, the Japanese commander ordered the 9th, 11th, and 3rd Divisions to carry out large-scale attacks on other areas of the defensive line, and the fire of battle was ignited again.

Just when Chen Cheng was unfavorable in battle, Liu Yuan's Nanjing camp was finally established, and all military and administrative rights in the Nanjing area were accepted by Liu Yuan, and Chen Cheng, who was unfavorable in battle, was deprived of command by Liu Yuan.

Chiang Kai-shek, because Chen Cheng was his loyal minister, sent Chen Cheng to Hubei for a generation of military training, and supplemented his enemy troops.

It was not only Chen Cheng who left, many military generals left, and Xue Yue's 19th Group Army and 24th Group Army all withdrew from the battlefield, and because of the great losses, they went to Hunan to recuperate. Hunan's 21st Group Army was completely lost and had no ability to fight again.

Liu Yuan thought that Xue Yue's troops were elite, so Xue Yue left a group army to rest nearby, but the other troops could be released, Huang Wei at Liu Yuan's request, brought illness back to the battlefield, and he was responsible for the defense of the new defense line, and Song Xilian was transferred to Jiangbei for a generation, responsible for ensuring the retreat.

Then Liu Yuan ordered Huang Jie to defend Tangshan, Sun Liren to establish a blocking position in Longtan, Liao Yaoxiang's integrated division, the Central Teaching Corps, and the military police unit were responsible for defending Yuhuatai, and Fan Hanjie was responsible for indoor defense.

There is definitely not enough troops, there is a difference between beating people and being beaten, a spear is enough to kill people, but defense requires a set of armor, so the ancestors said that offense is the best defense. In desperation, the Nanjing camp began to recruit some students and workers to enrich the second-line troops.

Many political workers from the Southwest Special Administrative Region went to Nanjing specifically to recruit troops, but even Nie Rongzhen, an old party representative, had to sigh that Chiang Kai-shek relied on what he was trying to maintain his rule in Nanjing.

In Chengdu, as long as Liu Yuan said a word, he could organize more than 300,000 troops, but Chiang Kai-shek did not have this ability, and many people said that in fact, Chiang Kai-shek's troops were often enriched by capture.

Thinking of this, Nie Rongzhen had to admire Liu Yuan, no wonder Liu Yuan kept saying that Chiang Kai-shek was very difficult to win the world, probably because he knew it.

Today's Zhao Yiman is already a female general, and his troops are responsible for defending Nanjing together with Fan Hanjie, but Fan Hanjie is very organized, and there are not many places where she is needed, so she helps recruit new soldiers.

"Sister Xiaoman, is it really you?" Lin Huiyin waved the camera in his hand and rushed in front of Zhao Yiman, several guards wanted to stop him, but Zhao Yiman waved his hand in time to let them dodge.

The three joys of life, the long drought meets the nectar, and when the cave house flowers candles, the hometown meets the old acquaintance. Zhao Yiman and Lin Huiyin hugged each other tightly.

"I've heard about your deeds on the front line, why are you a girl working so hard, and so is Uncle Shi, who doesn't cherish girls at all." Lin Huiyin quietly touched Lin Huiyin's shoulder, which was full of hard muscles, and the gentle girl in the past was gone.

"There are only soldiers on the battlefield, there are genders, but you, don't run around on the battlefield, the enemy's shells don't have long eyes. Oops, who's this burden? Zhao Yiman looked at Xu Zhimo and said teasingly.

"Sister, are they all excellent in graduation that year? And this is not a burden, this guy is quite famous in the literary world, his name is Xu Zhimo. Lin Huiyin said with a smile.

"Well, what are you doing here, Nanjing may be going to fight a bloody war, you'd better stay away from this place of right and wrong." Zhao Yiman dissuaded.

"People are here to interview, and I want to show the people of the whole country the side of unity, and inspire our enthusiasm for the war of resistance." Lin Huiyin said.

"Still hot-blooded, look at these young people in the Flower World, they have a little courage to raise their steel guns to fight the enemy." Zhao Yiman glanced at the young people not far away with disdain.

"Sister don't talk about them, give me a gun, and I'll go to the battlefield with you." Lin Huiyin glanced at those young people with disdain, feeling very sorry, they didn't have any blood for nothing, and at the same time felt worthless, since they didn't have any resistance at all, why should I shed blood for them here?

Liu Yuan's life was not very good, he underestimated his fame, when the people of Nanjing heard that he was appointed as the director of the Nanjing camp, many people who had already been on the boat wanted to turn back, almost died of Liu Yuan. In desperation, Liu Yuan ordered that all the people who left the city should not return, women and children, and the elderly must withdraw from Nanjing City, and the men should stay if they want, at least they can help. I don't know how many political workers have been exhausted by Liu Yuan's order, but the effect is not as good as imagined.

"Wuhu must be defended, and if there is a lot of pressure, we can send troops to him." Liu Yuan is still very relieved about the generals under him.

The pressure on the new defense line was very great, and the commander of the 16th Division of the Japanese Army, Nakajima Imago personally commanded a brigade commander's troops to attack the position of the 18th Army, and the battle form was very grim, the Japanese artillery brigade fired shells without dying, and the Japanese attacked the position several times, and Huang Wei personally made trouble with the enemy's shells to direct the battle, and this time Huang Wei was once again concentrated by the enemy's shells, and the battlefield became crisis again.
