Falling short

On the front line, Hu Shanming, the commander of the Sixth Regiment of the National Army, was looking at the Japanese rushing up in horror! "Captain! The little devils are fighting more and more fiercely! We've already lost a third of our casualties! The adjutant ran over and said. What can I do about this, the little devil is so powerful, if he continues to fight like this, the whole regiment must be dead, no, our withdrawal! Hu Shanming said. That's what I mean, too! The adjutant said hurriedly. Tell the brothers to work harder, and after repelling an attack by the little devils, the whole regiment will retreat! Hu Shanming said. Be! The adjutant ran out and passed the order down!

"Concentrate all the artillery, and we must kill all the Japanese in the third division to comfort the soul of General Zhang!" Bangs yelled at his artilleryman. "Don't worry, brigade commander, the current third division is already meat on the board!" Ghost Cannon said. "Report, the main wing of the enemy's 3rd Division is attacking our army head-on!" Signal Corps Report. "Good! Just in time, all the firepower projection! Give the little devil a look! Liu Hai rushed to the artillery position and personally operated the artillery attack, and countless shells flew towards the Japanese army in an instant! The attacking Japanese army was attacked by intensive artillery fire, and was blocked by the fire of the national army during the attack, and the attack ended in failure, and a large group of devils ran back, and at this time, the national army in front of them began to retreat!

"Brigade commander, it's not good, Hu Shanming, the commander of the sixth regiment in front, has abandoned his position without authorization and is withdrawing to our side!" Ghost Cannon said hurriedly. "What? Ask the command if there is an order to retreat! Bangs were taken aback! Now the 3rd Division is already a turtle in an urn, and there is no reason to retreat! "Report to the brigade commander, the order of the command is to hold the position and not to retreat half a step!" "In other words, Hu Shanming gave up his position without authorization!" Liu Hai said angrily, "Guard battalion, follow me!" "Yes!" Liu Xiaoshan picked up his gun and beckoned his battalion to follow Liu Hai. Liu Hai led the people all the way forward, rushed to a place less than two miles away from the preface, and saw thousands of soldiers of the national army running backwards. "Spread out!" Liu Hai shouted, Liu Xiaoshan waved his hand, and the well-equipped Liu Xiaoshan battalion spread out in formation, aiming at the * mouth of the black hole hole at the rout! "Tell them to stand still, prepare to fire, and shoot if they can escape!" Liu Hai gave the order.

"Commander, there's someone ahead!" The adjutant shouted. "Leave him alone, run, little Japan won't be able to run if he catches up!" Hu Shanming is already a frightened bird! "Stop! Stand still! "There was a shouting from ahead." Regiment commander, it seems that the one in front is the commander of the artillery brigade Liu Hai! The adjutant said. What happened to the brigade commander? Lao Tzu is the division commander, run! Hu Shanming shouted. Brigadier, what now? Liu Xiaoshan asked. Fire! Bangs said through gritted teeth. Sudden Sudden Rush! "Liu Xiaoshan's heavy machine rang, and a string of bullets hit several national soldiers in front, and all of a sudden the soldiers stood still!" How dare you kill people, bastards! Hu Shanming squeezed out from behind and yelled at Liu Xiaoshan. Commander Hu, have you received an order to retreat? Bangs asked. No, but the Japanese attacked so hard that the brothers couldn't bear it, and if they didn't run, they couldn't run, so shouldn't the brothers die here? Hu Shanming said. The order of the command was to hold the position and not to retreat a single step! Bangs said. Then call the commander to defend to the death, I must save the lives of my brothers!" Hu Shanming said. I want to save your life! Now I'll give you a chance, either you go back now and hold your ground, or I'll kill you now! Bangs shouted. The surname is Liu, you are an artilleryman, I am an infantryman, you fight yours, I fight mine, you don't care about me, except for Commander-in-Chief Zhang, I don't bird him! Acquaintances, get out of the way! "Ping!" The gun went off!

There was a bloody hole in Hu Shanming's head, lying there bleeding, his eyes wide open! It wasn't bangs that shot, it was Liu Xiaoshan! Liu Xiaoshan thinks that when it comes to this, if Liu Hai doesn't shoot, then there is no hope of being able to stop the rout, and now there is only one way to go! But Liu Xiaoshan knew that this Hu Shanming still had some backstage, otherwise he wouldn't dare to retreat without permission, because without a backstage, there is only a dead end to retreat without permission! At this time, shooting by himself is much stronger than shooting bangs, because in the final analysis, Liu Xiaoshan's uncle is Liu Zhi, and no matter how awesome this Hu Shanming is, he can't beat himself! "Fuck! I don't want to live, don't you, our Brigade Commander Liu is known as Liu Shen Cannon, and the cannon pops out and says that blowing up your right leg will not hurt your left leg, and if you want to die, stand up, Lao Tzu will kill him with a cannon! "Brothers, Hu Shanming instigated us to retreat, which is a traitor to the party and the country, we are gentlemen, kill and fight with the little devils!" Hu Shanming's adjutant shouted: "Rush! Fight with the little devils! The adjutant's words made the brothers of the national army once again ignite their fighting spirit and rushed back!

"Brigadier Commander! Let's retreat, it's too late if we don't retreat! Wu Fatzi said. Open artillery fire support, be sure to block the devils! Bangs shouted. No more! Hu Shanming lost his position, he can't stop it if he has a position, let alone no position, it's too late if he doesn't leave, we are artillery, it's not that we can go, brigade commander! "No!" Liu Hai shouted hoarsely, "Let's withdraw, the third division of the little devil will run away, and General Zhang Zizhong will die in vain!" "Now the situation is stronger than people, to die is to die, there is no need to let the living die again!" Wu Fatzi shouted. "Get out! Besides, Lao Tzu killed you! Bangs shouted. Boom! "After a muffled sound, the bangs fell into the arms of the fat man Wu!" The brigade commander said, the whole brigade retreats, hurry up! "Wu Fatzi can't care about the crime of falsely passing military orders!

"Who told you to withdraw, fight with the little devil!" Bangs yelled when he woke up. "Brigadier Commander! It's too late, the devils have already occupied Yichang, and if we don't leave, we will be surrounded! Ghost Cannon said. If the third division is let go, won't Commander Zhang die in vain? Bangs yelled. Brigade commander, we are artillerymen, we can't fight all at once, this is what the little devil is looking forward to, if we all die all at once, we will fight like this in the future, you calm down! Wu Fatzi said. What's going on now? Bangs asked. The 3rd Division of the Japanese Army has broken through, and the Japanese reinforcements have occupied Yichang, if we don't withdraw, it will be over! However, the third division also suffered more than half of the casualties, and the damage was not light, this time it was his fate, but in a few months, he couldn't slow down! Ghost Cannon said. Damn it! Send a telegram asking for next steps! Bangs said. No need to ask for instructions, the order has come down, let's go to Guinan to rest and wait for the next order! The chief of staff said. Alas! Liu Hai sighed, "Hundreds of thousands of troops in the Fifth Theater have been fighting hard for more than a month, but they were lost by Hu Shanming and let go of the Third Division. Find out the number and commander of the Japanese army that attacked Zhangguadian, and our artillery brigade will go to take its head and comfort Commander-in-Chief Zhang! "Yes!"

Liu Hai was knocked unconscious and retreated, although Liu Hai was very unhappy, but afterwards Liu Hai found that Wu Fatzi was right, and he was made dumplings by the Japanese army one step later! Du Yuming was very pleased with Liu Hai's behavior, and did not let his elite artillery suffer any losses, after Liu Hai rushed to the resting place, Du Yuming had already asked for credit for Liu Hai, but Liu Hai resolutely refused, on the grounds that Commander-in-Chief Zhang was martyred, and the whole army could not escape the blame. Speaking of Zhang Zizhong's martyrdom, Du Yuming was also embarrassed, but Du Yuming was a general after all, and he talked to Liu Hai about the existing form of this war from the height of the entire Chinese battlefield.

After the retreat of Liuhai, the troops of the national army withdrew from the battlefield one after another, and the entire battle of Zaoyi ended in the defeat of the national army, with the Japanese army losing more than 13,000 people and more than 100,000 casualties of the national army, which dealt a heavy blow to the arrogance of the 11th army! The goal of the 11th Army of the Japanese Army was to completely annihilate the main force of the Kuomintang in the Fifth Theater, but not only did it not destroy the main force of the Fifth Theater, but it almost put the Third Division into it. After the Battle of Zaoyi, the Japanese army found itself completely caught in the big quagmire of China, the invading Japanese army occupied a vast land, but there was no way to successfully control it, the guerrillas of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party in the rear, the guerrilla army was very active, and the Japanese army's several large-scale clean-ups were meaningless, not only the guerrillas were alive and well, but also in the mood to engage in friction! All divisions and regiments of the Japanese army had the task of occupying and arranging a large number of strongholds at various squad and platoon levels, and it was only at this time that the Japanese understood how big China really was. The control of the occupied area has made most of the Japanese troops a garrison, and many divisions and regiments have only one brigade in reserve, and if they want to attack on a large scale, they must draw a large number of garrison troops, so that the rear air defense is weak, and all kinds of guerrillas are in vogue, raiding and sabotaging, making the Japanese army miserable! The most terrible thing is that Japan has consumed two-thirds of its gold reserves due to the huge consumption of war expenses, and the Chinese battlefield has not been able to end for a long time, a large number of Japanese troops and military funds have been thrown on the Chinese battlefield, thinking that after occupying Wuhan, they can force the Nationalist Government to make peace or surrender, but although Chiang Kai-shek has been forced to the southwest, he does not have any intention of making peace and surrendering, and intends to resist stubbornly to the end, especially after the Battle of Zaoyi, the Japanese army, which was hit again, looked at the vast land and Chiang Kai-shek's stubborn resistance, and had no way. There is only one choice to continue struggling on the Chinese battlefield!
