Chapter 349: Attack Wuxi
What the soldiers lack most now is time, and what Jin Zhao lacks the most is time. Jin Zhao must seize the time to deal a heavy blow to the Yue army, so as to change the deployment of the Yue army and reverse the current unfavorable war situation.
Outside Wuxi City, Jin Zhao's temporary headquarters had been set up, Jin Zhao looked at the map in front of him and asked, "How is the battle situation in Huzhou?" ”
Hearing this, Lin Shaotang pointed to the map and said, "At present, the army on the eastern front has launched an attack on our army on all fronts, the main force of the 101st Division is storming Jiaxing, and most of the 3rd Division, as well as the remnants of the 18th Division and the 114th Division, are attacking the defense line of our army in Nanxun. The offensive of the army was very fierce, and it was obvious that it was anxious to make a comeback, and the pressure on our army's eastern front was very great. ”
Jin Zhao nodded noncommittally, "Inform the chief of staff that you don't have to die with the little devils, and resist the continuous consumption of the little devils." Now we have first captured Changzhou, and then we will capture Wuxi, and the rear of the army is threatened, and we will soon return to the army to rescue. ”
"But what if we take Wuxi and the army doesn't return to the rescue?" Lin Shaotang asked with a frown.
"Then keep fighting? Go straight to Suzhou! Jin Zhao said unceremoniously. Originally, the main force of the Third Division of the Suzhou Army was stationed, but at this time, the main force of the Third Division was also transferred to the Nanxun front, so that the defense force of Suzhou City also became empty, which also provided Jin Zhao with the possibility of recovering the state.
Lin Shaotang nodded, but Jin Zhao continued, "But just in case, Huzhou must also prepare in advance, the people around Huzhou continue to evacuate, and it is best to move all to Fujian!" After the victory in Huzhou, in the face of the two-way attack of the Yue army, Jin Zhao began to evacuate the people in Huzhou. These people were coaxed by Jin Zhao to move to Hangzhou, but Hangzhou is not their final destination, Fujian is their final destination. At present, Fujian has a population of just over 10 million, which seriously restricts Fujian's development. Many new factories have been built, but they have struggled to recruit workers. And the population is too small, and recruitment has become a big problem. There is a need for a large number of young and middle-aged laborers in the countryside, and there is also a need for a large number of young workers in the factories, so that very few young and middle-aged people can serve in the army. Jin Zhao estimated that in terms of the current situation in Fujian, it is already the limit that the army can only be expanded to four or five hundred thousand at most, and if there are more, it will affect the development of Fujian. Therefore, Jin Zhao decided to emigrate to Fujian from other places, and the first target of immigration was the people in these occupied areas, or areas that were about to be occupied. Not only in Huzhou, but now there are Fujian teams in Nanjing that are organizing the people to move to Fujian.
"Yes!" Lin Shaotang responded, his face was still heavy, although the rapid assault force led by Jin Zhao was victorious, but looking at the entire battle situation, the situation was still quite grim. Lin Shaotang's hand pointed to the battlefield on the Western Front again, "The 9th Division and the 15th Division of the Western Front Army are relatively honest, and they only launched a few small-scale tentative attacks on our army's positions. In addition, I just got information that the 9th Division and the 15th Division have each transferred a wing and are advancing in the direction of Changzhou! It seems that the little devil wants to surround us and then annihilate us in one fell swoop. ”
"Humph! The little devils of the two wings still want to encircle and annihilate us, if the entire Ninth Division goes north, maybe there is still some hope! Jin Zhao snorted coldly and said. In fact, Jin Zhao hoped that the little devils on the Western Front could draw out a brigade to go north to besiege the Fujian assault force led by Jin Zhao, so that the Western Front Army would only have one division left, and Jin Zhao could concentrate superior forces and defeat this division first, so that the plan of the two-way siege of the Yue Army would be bankrupt, but the Yue Army was not fooled, but only sent two wings!
"Since the little devils on the Western Front are so honest, then we don't have to deal with them, just order the troops on the Western Front to strengthen their vigilance!" Jin Zhao continued, "The top priority now is to capture Wuxi as soon as possible!" ”
"But the old devil of the Zhou Libing is very cunning, and he actually ordered all the troops to shrink into the city! Seeing that the sky is about to get dark, I'm afraid we won't be able to recover Wuxi before it gets dark! Lin Shaotang said with a frown.
"When it's dark, fight at night! Inform Yun Yinglin that no matter what, Wuxi must be captured as soon as possible! Jin Zhao said undoubtedly.
"Yes!" Lin Shaotang received the order in a deep voice.
The situation in Wuxi and Changzhou is similar, after the devastation of the war, it has long lost its prosperity. After the defeat of the Battle of Songhu, the commander of the army drove straight into the army, fighting all the way from Shanghai to Nanjing. Although [***] was defeated all the way, it also put up stubborn resistance. In order to be able to capture Nanjing, the capital of China, as soon as possible, the Yue army concentrated all its forces and stormed all the way. In this fierce war, Wuxi City was also bombed into ruins by the army, now only ten days have passed, the current Wuxi City is still a mess, ruins and broken walls, you can see everywhere, and even some corpses that have not had time to deal with are lying quietly in a corner of the city, proving that everything that has been sent out here, of course, these corpses are all Chinese, most of them are the corpses of ordinary people.
According to post-war statistics, in less than a month in more than a dozen counties and cities along the route from Shanghai to Nanjing, hundreds of thousands of civilians died in the flames of war, some of them died in the bombing of the Yue army, but many more died in the massacre of the Yue army, and the number of civilians who died far exceeded that of the Nanjing Massacre.
Jin Zhao came all the way from Changzhou to Wuxi, so he naturally knew what kind of atrocities the Yue army had committed. Before, Jin Zhao was trying his best to avoid the tragedy of the Nanjing Massacre staged again, just because the Nanjing Massacre was an eternal pain in the hearts of the Chinese people, but it was not until now that Jin Zhao completely understood that the Nanjing Massacre took place in the capital of China at that time, which had a great impact, and the more than 300,000 compatriots who died in Nanjing City gathered in one Nanjing City, so it would be so famous. In fact, massacres of all sizes are staged almost every day in the occupied areas, and thousands of compatriots are slaughtered.
Thinking of these, Jin Zhao realized that what he had done was far from enough, only by completely driving the little devils out of Huaxia could the tragedy not be staged again, and only by hitting the four islands of this book and stepping on Tokyo could this group of beasts pay off their blood debts!
"Boom, boom, boom", "da-da-da" violent explosions, gunshots resounded through Wuxi City again, but this time the attacking and defending sides fell one by one! The once invincible little devils can now only be forced to fight the trapped beasts in the city at a rapid pace, but the heroic Chinese soldiers, this time they have become the attacking side, they hold the steel guns in their hands, and continue to advance on the corpses of the enemy.
