"Will he come back?"

"Yes."

"If he does come back......"

"We pretend we don't know anything. There is no such person. ”

"Understood."

Fang Weihan nodded.

If Zhang Chu comes back, he will definitely not continue to use his previous name.

Just a pseudonym will do.

Anyway, they didn't see Zhang Chu, nor did they see Zhao Qing.

As for who called Zhao Qing, it is not clear.

Plain code telegram, anyone can send it. There are so many radio stations, and the military commanders can't find them.

In fact, the telegram was sent from Hankow.

"The devils have added fortifications again." Fang Weihan pulled the topic back.

During the pause in the attack, he was not in a good mood.

Yu Chengwan and others were in the same mood.

For every day of delay, the devil can breathe for a day. You will be able to build more fortifications.

They will dig the control area as if it were an underground labyrinth. It will greatly increase the difficulty of the national army to solve the battle in the future. More soldiers will be sacrificed.

For front-line commanders, such a wait is absolutely torturous.

Whether it is Yu Chengwan, Li Tianxia, or Liao Lingqi, they all feel that this is nonsense.

Hu Lian even publicly threatened that this was deliberately financing the enemy.

It must be that someone above was bought by the Japanese invaders to make such a mediocre decision, deliberately giving the Japanese invaders a chance to breathe.

Fortunately, it was Wang Yaowu who dragged him to educate him. Otherwise, Hu Lian will probably be criticized.

But after the commander of the 71st Army, Song Xilian, returned from Hankow, he made the same statement. Fortunately, he was stopped by Wang Yaowu again.

Don't talk nonsense, these guys!

There are some words that can only be buried in the stomach and cannot be said publicly.

We have to listen to the above arrangement.

However, the general will be outside, and the king's order will not be affected. We can do something about it too.

There is no offense. But conflict is inevitable.

There is a little bit of conflict every day......

"Da Da Da ......"

"Boom, boom, boom......"

During the clashes, machine guns and mortars were used on both sides. In some cases, 75-mm mountain guns were even used.

All because the Japanese counterattack was very "fierce", and our army was forced to counterattack.

We can't be beaten passively, can we? Isn't that a joke?

So, every day conflicts, every day a little bit forward.

It's not much, just a few hundred meters.

A little bit forward every day......

Anyway, the Japanese divisions, 20,000 or 30,000 people, would never be able to escape. Unless it is he Wang Yaowu is removed.

It is said that in this matter, Gui Yongqing is also resolute.

Even Hu Zongnan, who came up from behind, was very active. The most active in the daily "conflict" is the First Army under his command.

Who doesn't want credit?

He's not a fool!

I didn't get the credit before, but now it's delivered to my mouth, can I still do it?

Could it be that he is not as good as Wang Yaowu?

Anyway, none of the Japanese invaders around Anqing can escape. No matter who commands them, they must not be spared.

The question is......

There is no time to relaunch the offensive.

conflict, only a little forward every day.

Too time-consuming.

A real attack must be launched.

However, Wang Yaowu did not have the courage to cut first and then play. He was alone. Others may not cooperate.

What to do?

can only invite Zhang Chu here.

As long as Zhang Chu arrived and took the lead in attacking, the national army would passively meet the battle.

"Yaga ......"

"Who is this Zhao Qing?"

"How come the intelligence services don't know anything?"

"Yaga ......"

Kenji Dohihara was very irritable.

He also received the telegram in clear code.

He subconsciously felt that there was something ulterior behind this clear telegram.

The problem is that he doesn't know who this Zhao Qing is.

I don't know who is calling Zhao Qing. However, he is familiar with the place name Anqing.

He had just been withdrawn from Anqing.

Now, trapped on the north bank of the Yangtze River. Although there are still more than 20,000 troops, they are already powerless to fight back.

There was no replenishment of ammunition.

There is no food supply.

There was no replenishment of personnel.

The Japanese army has been completely cut off from the outside world.

On the river, there are also Chinese destroyers constantly launching shelling. It caused a very serious attack on the Japanese army.

Some of the Japanese could not bear the despair and shot themselves one after another.

"Slap ......"

"Slap ......"

Intermittent gunshots rang out.

Part of it is the gunfire of Japanese soldiers committing suicide. Officers at all levels were surprised.

For this reason, Kenji Dohihara had to issue an order to strictly prohibit the suicide of Japanese soldiers. But the effect is not obvious.

Many seriously injured committed suicide.

They would rather commit suicide than continue to suffer.

There is no medicine.

There is no treatment.

There is only painful suffering.

Despair......

Depressed......

All the Japanese know that their end is coming.

Maybe it's today, maybe it's tomorrow, maybe it's someday after that.

The Chinese will definitely attack.

Then they will all perish.

All jade crushed.

Without exception.

In fact, even if the Chinese do not attack, they will be starved to death.

They have been sealed down. No outside aid can come in. Now, there is a shortage of food, and we can only gnaw on the grass roots. It is also impossible to fish. Because on the banks of the river, there are Chinese destroyers and torpedo boats.

As soon as the Japanese troops approached the river, they were immediately subjected to heavy fire. Then he was killed.

The Chinese also deliberately lured them to the river.

All of this is very insidious and vicious.

"How's the war going in Chao County?" Kenji Dohihara looked haggard.

"All the best." Takamatsu replied.

"Yoxi, everything is going well......"

"All the best......"

"Smooth ......"

Kenji Dohihara was muttering to himself.

Takamatsu did not dare to speak. I don't want to talk either. Because it's completely unnecessary.

Everyone understands that everything is going well is nothing more than words of comfort.

In fact, reinforcements did not arrive.

If all went well, reinforcements would have arrived.

But why not tell the truth?

Because there is no other way above. I can only watch them perish.

The fate of the Japanese troops around Anqing was already sealed.

It can only be "all jade pieces".

There is no other option. There can be no other fate.

Unless it's ......

Surrender!

"Nani?"

"Yaga!"

Takamatsu himself was taken aback.

He couldn't help but shrink his head.

How could there be such a ridiculous idea?

How could there be such a terrible thought?

Actually thought of surrendering?

How can it be......

The Imperial Army of the Great Japanese Empire, how could it be possible to surrender?

When pigs fly!

When pigs fly!

Absolutely impossible, absolutely impossible, absolutely impossible......

Takamatsu Osa desperately reminded himself.

However, this terrible thought has always lingered in his mind. Like a ghost.

Surrender, and perhaps still a way to live.

If you don't surrender, you're sure to die. When you die, there's nothing.

Previously, the empire had killed so many soldiers in the war, and it was said that the pension in the rear could no longer be paid in full, and only half of it could be paid. Not even half.

For a soldier at the bottom of the line, the pension for those who died in battle was only 50 yen. After half of the deduction is made, the family can only get about 20 yen.

Some may not even have any.

As you can imagine, how unworthy it is. Grass ash may be more valuable.

Human life is worse than ashes.

The price of rice in China is much higher than before. For 20 yen, you may not be able to buy 100 catties of rice. Even when the cabinet meets, they often worry about rice.

Alas......

Suddenly, I saw a staff officer quietly shrinking his head.

Apparently something was reported. But they are afraid of punishment.

Every time this happens, it's bad news.

"Come in!"

Takamatsu exclaimed impatiently.

Bad news is bad news. What are you panicking about? Could it be worse than now?

"Yes!"

The staff officer hurried in.

Pale face. Unsteady footsteps. Obviously hungry.

The army has basically run out of food and grass. Even the staff officers of the division and regimental headquarters are already unsustainable. Hunger is unbearable.

"What's the matter?"

"Sakai United reports that one squad is missing ......"

"What's out of the ordinary?"

"They may ......

"Yaga!"

Takamatsu's brows furrowed.

What could be? What else? Did you go to the enemy?

Yaga!

Damn it!

How could such a thing be done!

How could the Imperial Army of Japan commit such an act of surrendering to the enemy?

Shame!

"They, they, they ......"

"Yaga! Say! ”

"They are ...... requisitioned from Taiwan"

"Nani?"

Takamatsu frowned again.

Recruited from Taiwan?

Oh, remembered. Because there were too many casualties on the front line, a large number of recruits were recruited from Taiwan Island nearby.

In the previous Potian detachment, there were a large number of recruits from Taiwan. The previous performance was still good. These Taiwanese soldiers were very ferocious. More ferocious than the Japanese in Kyushu, Kumamoto and other places.

The only ones who can compare to them are the recruits recruited from the Silla Peninsula. Those Peninsula soldiers were also very cruel.

Because these recruits performed "outstandingly", the Japanese military top brass did not think much about it. They were also grouped together. As a result, I didn't expect to run away to join the enemy?

Yaga!

"Herald!"

"Immediately disperse all the Taiwan Island soldiers and Peninsula soldiers in the army and organize them into other troops!"

"Order other troops to closely monitor these Peninsula soldiers and Taiwan Island soldiers! Deal with it decisively if necessary! Don't hesitate! ”

Towering Dazuo ordered categorically.

He is the chief of staff and has such powers. There is no need to ask Kenji Tohihara.

In fact, Kenji Tsuchihara will not have any objections.

The so-called decisive disposal is actually ......

"Smack!"

"Smack!

Suddenly, gunshots rang out nearby.

It's the Southern Pistol!

"Smack!"

"Smack!"

Then came the sound of a Type 38 rifle.

Takamatsu Dazuo couldn't help but be stunned. Subconsciously walked to the door. Look in the direction where the gunshots are coming from.

What's going on?

Who shot?

"Quick!"

"Quick!"

The guard squadron was like a great enemy.

Machine guns and grenadiers were erected. Japanese troops nearby also came to support.

The divisional headquarters was quickly surrounded.

Takamatsu and Kenji Dohihara glanced at each other. It's all secretly worried.

Could it be that a small group of troops of the national army has come here?

Damn it. The position of the division headquarters was exposed.

"Report!"

Suddenly, a staff officer hurried in.

Takamatsu waved his hand impatiently.

If there's something, say it quickly.

Divisional headquarters had to be transferred.

"Your Excellency, there was an incident of looting military rations."

"Snatching the ...... of military rations"

"Three soldiers tried to snatch military rations and were severely punished by the squadron leader."

"That ......"

"The squadron leader also unfortunately died in the line of duty."

"Ah......h

Takamatsu Daisa subconsciously felt that something was wrong.

The discipline of the Japanese army, it should be said, was still relatively strong. Orders are forbidden. There are very few incidents of disobedience by low-level soldiers.

To say the next gram up. That's also a matter for the staffs. It's a matter of strategy.

Grassroots soldiers are just simple fighting machines. They don't have brains, they just know how to obey orders.

However, once you disobey the order, the consequences are unimaginable.

Once such a thing happens, it means that the morale has completely collapsed. Discipline has lapsed.

The hearts of the people are scattered, and the team is not easy to lead.

"Smack!"

"Smack!"

"Smack!"

Suddenly, another gunshot rang out.

This time, the gunfire was even more intense. There seems to be more people involved.

"Yaga!"

Takamatsu was furious.

Are there any soldiers who want to make trouble? Yaga! No mercy!

"Smack!"

"Smack!"

However, the gunfire was even more chaotic.

There seems to be a sound in the middle that is not a Japanese weapon. Seems to be a barge gun?

Yaga!

Where did the barge gun come from?

"Smack!"

"Smack!"

However, the gunfire was very clear.

As an old battlefield, Takamatsu Osa accurately judged that this was the gunfire of the barge gun.

Obviously, this was not a weapon used by the Japanese army itself.

"Kill him!"

"Kill him!"

I heard someone roaring again. The voice is high-pitched.

After that, there was another series of gunshots. Eventually, the sound of the barge gun was never heard again.

However, Takamatsu was terrified.

He knows very well that the current troops are already powder kegs.

It will explode at any moment.

The camp will be bombed at any time.

"Order the troops!"

"Break east!"

At this time, Kenji Dohihara ordered.

He also knew that the situation was serious. It is no longer possible to continue to hold on. Must break through.

Otherwise, the troops themselves will collapse.

The gunfire just now must have been a fight between their own people. The situation is estimated to be very dire.

The occurrence of such a thing shows that the discipline of the Japanese army has reached the verge of collapse. It may not be able to continue for even an hour.

Sure enough, a staff officer came to report.

It is said that a clash broke out between the two squadrons. Big fight.

More than 100 people were killed or wounded.

Both squadron leaders eventually shot themselves to apologize.

There was a Japanese lieutenant who used a stash shell gun during the conflict. Killed more than a dozen people in the opposing squadron.

Eventually, the Japanese lieutenant committed suicide using a shell gun.

"Herald!"

"Break through to the east immediately!"

"Break through to the east immediately!"

Takamatsu Osa hurriedly conveyed the order. I'm afraid of losing a minute.

At this moment, the Japanese army really can't be delayed for a minute. The gunshot just now was a flame. Soon it will burn all over the army.

Must break through.

Attention must be focused on the breakout.

"Order the other troops, each of whom chooses the direction of the breakthrough. How much can you protrude! ”

Kenji Dohihara continued to order.

So far, that's all it can be.

Everyone has their own destiny. How many can run counts as few.

"Breakout!"

"Breakout!"

Jun Akaka: ordered.

The 13th Japanese Division immediately went crazy.

"Breakout!"

"Breakout!"

Michitaro Komatsubara ordered.

The Japanese 23rd Division also went crazy.

"Breakout!"

"Breakout!"

This was followed by the Hatada detachment......

There were other remnants of the Japanese army. It's all crazy eastward thrust.

They want to break through.

They're going to kill it!

To the east, is the 58th Division of the National Army. Division Commander Liao Lingqi.

Behind the 58th Division, there was also the 10th Division of the National Army. Division Commander Fang Xianjue.

"The Japanese invaders have broken through!"

"The Japanese invaders have broken through!"

The phone and radio are busy.

Information converges in the air, inside the telephone line. Eventually, it spread all over the world.

Wang Yaowu immediately adjusted his deployment.

He transferred Li Yutang's Tenth Army to the east. Responsible for frontal interception.

Hu Zongnan's First Army, which was responsible for pressing from the west. Copy the back path of the devil.

Song Xilian's 71st Army, assaulted from the direction of the riverbank.

Gui Yongqing's 27th Army, Huang Jie's Eighth Army, and Zhou Hanzhang's 64th Army were also all put into battle.

What?

Ask?

Tell the fart, please!

Let's talk about it!

"The Japanese invaders have broken through?"

"Huh!"

It just so happened that Zhang Chu also came to the front line.

He came on a three-wheeled motorcycle. So it's extremely fast. Just in time for the last madness of the Japanese invaders.

That's a good thing!

Completely solved!
