Chapter 377: Exchanging Space for Time
Ishii Jiahui took his group of devil soldiers and drove into Wuxi City, and there were no accidents that worried Ishii Jiahui along the way. But Ishii Yoshie felt a faint sense of unease in his heart, and although Ishii tried to find the source of this unease, in the end he failed. Could it be that ** people really gave up Wuxi City so easily? Ishii asked herself secretly.
This result not only made Ishii feel a little incredible, but also made Ishii feel that it was so natural. It is unbelievable that during the day, the Fujian army is still desperately blocking the attack of the Yue army, and the tenacity of the Fujian army even moves the arrogant Yue army, and even the Yue army wants to take a step forward, it is impossible, and now the Min army has suddenly given up Wuxi, such a result is incredible. And of course, the Fujian army is insufficient, and it is understandable to shrink the defensive line and concentrate its forces, after all, it is not easy for the Fujian army to hold Nanjing.
With this contradiction in his heart, Ishii Jiahui finally stepped into Wuxi City, and just after entering the city, a young officer ran to Ishii Jiahui and said very respectfully, "Your Excellency Dazuo! On the way to attack, our department was only blocked by a small force of troops, and it seems that the large army of ** people has really withdrawn from Wuxi City! ”
"Yes!" Ishii Jiahui nodded lightly and said, "Annihilate the remnants of the ** army in Wuxi City as soon as possible and completely occupy Wuxi City!" ”
"Hayi!" Said Jun Shaozuo replied loudly.
Ishii Yoshie couldn't help but feel a little fluttering as he listened to the sparse gunshots coming from inside the city. Although the Fujian army took the initiative to withdraw from Wuxi, after all, it was forced to abandon Wuxi in the face of the fierce attack of the Yue army, and from this point of view, the Yue army still won the victory. Such a victory made Ishii Jiahui a little excited, because Ishii Jiahui had already seen the hope of defeating the Min army. In the previous battle, although the army occupies an absolute advantage, but in the face of the Fujian army is repeatedly defeated, in just one month, the army has lost 200,000 troops, the third division has also suffered heavy losses, such a blow, so that Ishii Jiahui has lost confidence, and now this small victory in front of him, but let Ishii Jiahui regain some lost self-confidence.
"Yo Xi!" At this time, Ishii Yoshie was in a good mood, and the sound of gunfire that had been disturbing before was as pleasant as music at this time. In a better mood, Ishii's steps became more brisk, and Matsui Yoshie stepped through a messy street and walked slowly towards the city.
Suddenly, Ishii felt a violent tremor on the ground, and in an instant, an explosion sound that was enough to shatter the eardrum sounded in Ishii Kae's ears, and Ishii Kae was directly engulfed by a ball of fire before she could react, and instantly lost all consciousness, as if time had suddenly stopped at this moment.
If you have a bird's-eye view of the entire Wuxi City in the sky at this time, you will find that in less than a minute just now, several huge mushroom clouds rose from the east and north gates of Wuxi City at the same time, and the dazzling firelight instantly swept away the darkness. Then among the houses in Wuxi City, a violent explosion sounded one after another, with the sound of explosions, these houses ignited one after another on fire, the fire was like a fire dragon raging in Wuxi City, and soon the fire became a piece, and the entire north and east of Wuxi City fell into a sea of fire.
"What happened?" Fujita Jin looked at the blazing Wuxi City and shouted loudly in panic. Fujita Jin knew that the 6th Wing and the 18th Wing had already entered the city of Wuxi, and now in the war, it was inevitable to cause some fires, and there were several fire points in the city just now, but the fire was not big. And now the fire is so big that even Fujita Jin 20 miles away can see it clearly, and the fire is so big that Fujita Jin has the illusion that he is standing outside the city of Wuxi, which shows that the scale of this fire is absolutely impossible because of the fire caused by the fire in several places caused by the firefight, Fujita Jin was completely shocked by what happened in front of him.
"Your Excellency, General! The front line has just sent a telegram, ** people in the city in the house piled up a large number of ignition things, and planted a large number of explosives, after the imperial army entered the city, the cunning ** people suddenly detonated these explosives, thus causing a fire, now the fire has basically covered the Dongcheng District and Beicheng District, and is further spreading to the whole city, breaking into the city of the 6th Wing and the 18th Wing suffered heavy losses, but now the situation is chaotic, the specific losses can not be counted. Toshio ran over in a panic and hurriedly reported the current situation to Fujita Susuru.
"Baga Ya Road! Damn ** people! Fujita Jin almost gritted his old teeth and scolded hatefully.
Fujita Jin had just finished scolding, and a staff officer hurriedly ran over, "Your Excellency General!" In the process of pursuing ** people, the 34th Wing was ambushed by ** people and suffered heavy losses. ”
"Chase the fart! The 34th Wing and the 68th Wing were ordered to immediately stop the pursuit and build fortifications on the spot to prevent **people from taking advantage of the opportunity to launch**. Susumu Fujita roared loudly. Now Fujita Jin feels like a fool and has been tricked again.
The fire in Wuxi burned for a day, but the fire was controlled, and the army also captured Wuxi as they wished. But Fujita Jin did not have the slightest joy, because it was this fire that burned the strength of one and a half wings of his own army, and the casualty data just counted, so that Fujita Jin almost sprayed a mouthful of old blood directly onto the wall, and the 6th Wing and the 18th Wing of the two wings all combined, and now there are only more than 1,000 people left, and there are still a considerable number of logistics arms, and the combat troops have been lost. The 34th Wing fared slightly better, but also lost thousands of men. Coupled with the losses in the previous battle, for the sake of a small Wuxi city, only one third division lost tens of thousands of people.
The only thing that made Fujita Shin arrive a little relieved was that after the matter was reported to Okamura Ningji, although Gangmura Ningji was very angry, he didn't reprimand Fujita Jin much, but just reminded Fujita to be careful in the future and not to fall into the trajectory of ** people again.
At the same time, Jin Zhao held a press conference in Nanjing, and in the face of a group of reporters attending the meeting, Jin Zhao impassionedly announced to everyone, "I would like to inform you once again of an exciting good news, after the bloody struggle of tens of thousands of officers and men of the newly formed 7th Army of our 37th Group, on the battlefield from Jiangyin to Wuxi, we have repelled dozens of fierce attacks by the 3rd Division, the 9th Division, the 11th Division and other units of the 3rd Division, and won a great victory in killing more than 15,000 people, of which the 3rd Division of the 3rd Army lost more than 10,000 people. Hit hard again! ”
Under the leadership of Jin Zhao, the venue erupted in a round of warm applause. Although Jin Zhao briefly introduced the course of the battle, in Jin Zhao's introduction, he repeatedly emphasized that the Fujian army was at a disadvantage, how hard it was, and how heroic it was. In a word, it is difficult for our Fujian army, and it is hard to fight alone, but no matter how hard it is, we still win.
But press conferences have always been a headache, because these reporters will never let go of these interviewees easily, in Jin Zhao's view, the most favorite thing for reporters to do is to pick bones in eggs, nothing to do, although reporters in this era are not as capable as those reporters in later generations, but they are also difficult enough.
As soon as this question began, a reporter who couldn't wait stood up and picked, "Hello Commander Jin, I'm xx newspaper reporter xxx." ”
"Hello!" Jin Zhao smiled and nodded at the reporter who asked the question.
"What I want to ask is, Commander Jin, although our army annihilated tens of thousands of people, but the army successfully occupied Jiangyin, Wuxi and other places, can this result really be called a victory?" The reporter asked without humility or arrogance. As soon as the words fell, all the reporters looked at Jin Zhao in unison, waiting for Jin Zhao's answer with anticipation.
Jin Zhao still smiled, but secretly greeted the ancestors of this reporter in his heart, Jin Zhao naturally knew that at this time, I am afraid that many reporters would like to see themselves answering this question Yes is embarrassing. But what kind of person is Jin Zhao, naturally he will not be stumped by such a small question. Jin Zhao said with a smile, "This reporter is right, we lost Wuxi and Jiangyin and other places in this battle, and from this point of view, there is no doubt that we lost the battle." However, everyone must be clear about the current balance of forces between China and China, and in terms of the current situation, the strength of China and China in all aspects far surpasses that of China. The art of war is cloudy, and the way to win is to use one's own strengths and attack the enemy's shortcomings. Therefore, in such a situation where the enemy is strong and we are weak, we can only win by making the greatest possible use of our own advantages and attacking the enemy's shortcomings. The only advantage of our country now is that it is rich in land and has a large population. How can we take advantage of this? We have tens of thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, thousands of large and small cities, and we will not lose our country if we temporarily give up some territories and some cities. Of course, we will not easily give up an inch of land, if the little devils want to occupy an inch of our land, they must exchange their lives with blood, a small city we can exchange for the surnames of tens of thousands of little devils, dozens of cities are hundreds of thousands, hundreds of cities are millions! How many people are there in total, if we can eliminate millions of little devils, then what else do they have to occupy China, then it will be the time for us to launch the ** to completely drive the little devils out of China, we will not only drive the little devils out of China, but also kill the three islands of the city, and fight directly until the surrender of the book! In a nutshell, this strategy is to exchange space for time, and accumulate small wins for big wins! I believe that as long as we stick to this strategy, the final victory will be ours. At this time, Lao Jiang had not yet proposed the strategy of exchanging space for time, so Jin Zhao unceremoniously borrowed it directly. (To be continued.) )
