Take Taobao to fight against Japan

After arriving home, Yang Fan and Wu Qian took care of him, took a comfortable bath, then changed into dry casual clothes and walked into the restaurant.

At this time, Zhang Lanfeng had already set up an extremely rich banquet, and the room was filled with the aroma of wine and cooked food.

"Wow, there are so many delicious foods, I'm drooling just looking at them! Haha, Dad, Mom, Qian'er, Juanzi, Xueer, Zhang Ma, don't be dazed, let's eat together!"

Yang Fan, who had been making do with the marching rations these days, suddenly started talking and twitching his index finger, and immediately sat down at the table and greeted his family for dinner!

Chapter 222 People Are Selfish

"Dad, please drink tea! You are suffering outside these days!"

After eating, Yang Fan just got up and sat on the sofa not far away, Yang Xueyan brought a cup of steaming fragrant tea, then looked at Yang Fan with adoring eyes and said:

"I heard from my aunt that you killed many evil Japanese devils, and you will always be a hero in Xue'er's heart!"

"Haha, Xueer is so good! Come on, let Dad take a good look at it, our Xueer has grown a lot taller!"

The daughter's childish voice, clear eyes of adoration, and the joy of a happy family make Yang feel like eating honey in his heart, which is sweet from the inside out!

After getting bored with his daughter for a while, Yang Fan smiled and came to the father-in-law Wu Rongbang who sat beside him and asked, "Dad, how is the family doing recently? How is everything going?"

Wu Rongbang quickly put down the teacup in his hand, and then said with a solemn expression: "Everything is fine, everything is operating normally, there is nothing special!

It's just that nearly [-] veterans who have been withdrawn from the Songhu battlefield have recently been recruited. All aspects seem a little nervous and hectic, and it will take some time to adapt and adjust!

In addition, Yang Chengliang, Wu Kexiang, and Ren Yixiong are still recruiting outside, and it is estimated that this time they will eventually recruit about 4 people!

Now I am really worried that there are too many people to digest. These are veterans of many battles, but it is not so easy to manage them well!

And if we recruit troops with such fanfare, the higher-ups will definitely not be happy, will it cause any trouble? "

Wu Rongbang was not worried about what the ordinary soldiers would do, but because many of them were recruited by hundreds of people, and there were also many colonels!

Wu Rongbang was worried that these senior officials would not be easy to manage, and at the same time, he was also a little concerned about the reactions of Han Fuju and Chairman Jiang!

"Haha, don't worry, when he gets to my territory, even if he is a dragon, he has to be coiled by me! You don't have to be afraid of a big-bellied man when you open a shop, the more people the better! These days, it is the last word to have guns and people!"

Yang Fan smiled lightly, and in half a year at most, he would be able to stand up completely. By that time, let alone Boss Han and Chairman Jiang, even if the Japanese devils tried their best to mess with him, he would still have a bloody head!

Seeing that Yang Fan was confident, Wu Rongbang stopped saying anything, and instead asked: "I want to know what plans and plans you have next?

Hey, although I stay at home, I also know that after the defeat in the Battle of Songhu, the situation is extremely difficult and dangerous. Maybe the devils will rush to Nanjing in one go! "

Yang Fan sighed softly and said, "Do your best to obey the fate, there is no other way!"

"Ah, Brother Fan, if you listen, will Nanjing really be captured by devils?"

At this time, Wu Juan walked over with her stomach full, and looked at Yang Fan with a sad face. Although she didn't have much affection for Nanjing, it was the capital of China anyway.

Yang Fan nodded and said: "The current situation is like this. If Generalissimo Jiang can wake up earlier and withdraw his troops to the defense line earlier, Nanjing may still be able to defend! But now it is powerless!"

"Ah? Then aren't we going to perish?"

Wu Rongbang's complexion changed drastically, because in his opinion, the fall of the capital is equivalent to the destruction of the country!

"Then can we help?"

Wu Juan looked at Yang Fan involuntarily. In her heart, there was nothing Yang Fan couldn't do!

"Shandong will soon become the key direction for the Japanese devils to attack. We are not strong enough now! Those who are successful will help the world, and the poor will be alone. Now we can only protect ourselves!

But don't worry, Generalissimo Jiang will not stay in Nanjing and wait for death, he will move his capital to Chongqing soon!Our magnificent China will never perish! "

Yang Fan shook his head lightly. He had carefully weighed this issue many times. Of course, he could lead an independent division to help Nanjing, but what then?

With so many important officials in Nanjing, can you command them well?

Don't want the Anti-Japanese War base that you worked so hard to manage, and give it to the Japanese directly?

Countless relatives, friends and common people on my side are allowed to be slaughtered by the Japanese devils?

Sorry, people are selfish!

Yang Fan is not a saint, and he has no way to selflessly sacrifice himself for the public, so the first priority at the moment is to seize the opportunity to recruit troops frantically, and then quickly digest the results of the battle to strengthen himself!

Just when Yang Fan "made a lot of money in the country's calamity" and kept recruiting troops, and everyone was rejoicing and not thinking about leaving, the domestic situation was rapidly deteriorating!

Yang Fan could lead his troops to quickly retreat to the rear after completing the task, but the main force of the 70 national army gathered in the Songhu area could not quickly withdraw!

Although Chairman Jiang issued the withdrawal order on the night of November 11, it is not easy for a large army of 8 people to withdraw from the battlefield!

Although the National Army Commander drew up a complete retreat plan before the retreat, such as which troops were cut off, which troops would block the Taicang and Qingpu lines, and which troops would quickly occupy the Wufu and Xicheng lines, all of them had made detailed arrangements!

However, the time Generalissimo Jiang left for retreat was too short, only one day!

The national army's communication means are too backward, even the most elite central army, the radio station is only equipped to the division level!

Local troops such as the Guangxi Army and the Sichuan Army are only equipped to the first-level military units!

Therefore, the combat units at all levels under each army can only rely on the signal soldiers to pass down from level to level.

However, the most deadly thing is that the command system is stacked on top of each other, with too many layers:

Command Headquarters - Third Theater (Jiang Jian, Deputy Gu Zhutong) - Front Enemy Headquarters (Chen Cheng) - Left Front Army (Zhang Zhizhong), Center Front Army (Zhu Shaoliang), Right Front Army (Zhang Fakui) - Group Army - Legion - Army - Division.

That is to say, the order from the High Command has to be delivered to the division six times!

Coupled with leapfrog command, the government has many branches, especially the communication is not working well, and there is not enough ventilation from top to bottom, not to mention that some grassroots have lost control and contact.

Some troops have a strong background, and they immediately got the exact news from the command and began to retreat overnight!

Seeing this, other troops ran over and asked, what?The high command has issued a retreat order?We also quickly withdraw!

Shangfeng hasn't issued an order yet?

I can't even take care of my own life, how can I take care of so much, anyway, the high command has ordered, and I have to retreat sooner or later!

A dead fellow is not a poor fellow, no one wants to give others a back!

?After more than three months of fierce fighting, the national army on the Songhu battlefield had long been exhausted and waited for the order to retreat, and everyone was supported by a single breath.

When this anger was released, the 70 army collapsed in an instant, and the situation was completely out of control!

The originally planned retreat plan turned into an empty talk, and all the troops retreated after hearing the news, and all scrambled to run back!

In particular, the Japanese devils took advantage of the air force and continued to bombard the railways, highways, and bridges where the national army fled, which further exacerbated the chaos and rout of the national army, and eventually formed a large-scale stampede! !

How chaotic was the final situation?

As the commander-in-chief of the No.19 Army, Xue Yue had only a few guards left around him, and was almost captured alive by the chasing devils. In the end, he managed to save his life by relying on the water.

Chapter 223 There is no regret medicine in the world

"Report, the Tenth Army suddenly lost contact!"

"Report, the whereabouts of General Xue Yue, commander-in-chief of the No.19 Army Group is unknown!"

"Report, the teaching corps of the Central Military Academy is missing!"

"Report, the No.15 Army suddenly lost contact!"

"Report, the No. 20 First Army called to say that it was being attacked by the Japanese army, and lost contact immediately!"

The army was defeated like a mountain, and the originally planned and orderly retreat turned into a massacre in a day, and all kinds of bad news came back one after another.

Every time a message is received, the staff will take a corresponding small red flag from the sand table, and the sand table that was originally densely covered with small red flags gradually becomes sparse!

And Generalissimo Jiang's face became very embarrassing, his whole intestines were green with regret, his knuckles were pinched white, and his body was trembling non-stop!

In the end, the Nine-Power Pact meeting, which had high hopes, did not let go. Not only did it not have any binding force on the Japanese invading army, but it made the Japanese army even more unscrupulous. Now it is completely throwing off its arms and doing it!

If I had known that that thing was so unreliable, I should have ordered the withdrawal of troops when the Japanese army landed in Jinshanwei!

No, it should be half a month ago that the main force of the Songhu battlefield should be gradually withdrawn to the Wufu defense line, and then rely on the strong defense line to carry out long-term consumption with the Japanese army!

In 1933, for the safety of the capital, the government of the Republic of China began to design and build a large number of defense fortifications between Beijing, Shanghai and Hangzhou!

There are three important defense fronts:

The first position is located on the Wufu line from Wujiang County to Fushan Town;

The second position is located on the Xicheng line from Wuxi to Jiangyin;

The third position is located on the Zhajia line from Zhapu to Jiashan.

The main content is: take the infantry battalion position as the unit, the particularly important section take the regiment position as the unit, and the secondary section take the company position as the unit.

First-line positions and reserve positions are set up in the position, equipped with shooting, observation, communication, transportation, camouflage, bunkers, obstacles and other equipment, with light machine guns, heavy machine guns, and anti-battery fortifications as the main body to form a circular defense system.

Reinforced concrete is the main building material, and natural obstacles are used as much as possible, supplemented by artificial obstacles to form permanent fortifications. ?

Even if they retreat into the national defense front, they will still suffer extremely serious casualties in the full-scale attack of the Japanese army, but they will never fall to the tragic situation that is out of control today!

Generalissimo Jiang was full of remorse, regret for not grasping too many opportunities, regret for placing too much hope on those foreign powers with no integrity and no bottom line!

Unfortunately, there is no medicine for regret in this world!

Generalissimo Jiang was full of frustration, hoping to hear one or two exciting good news, at least to save face!

However, facts are facts, and will not be changed by personal will, and bad news keeps coming one after another!

After a while, Generalissimo Jiang said anxiously to Bai Chongxi and others: "The most important thing at present is to restore the command of the frontline troops as soon as possible, and the current chaos cannot continue to spread!

Otherwise, the country will really perish!Do you have any good suggestions and methods? "

"..."

Bai Chongxi, Gu Zhutong, Chen Cheng and the others looked bleak and lowered their heads. They were not gods. Even if they tried to turn the tide in such a decadent situation, they were powerless!

The blame can only be blamed on you, Generalissimo Jiang, who insisted on going your own way. Earlier, you suggested that you order the withdrawal of the main force to the defense line, but you didn't listen to it, but why did you say that war is the continuation of politics!

What's the use of being anxious now?

After pondering for a while, Bai Chongxi pointed out sharply: "Committee, the army has been defeated now, so don't try to restore the command of the troops, we really have no way to clean up the mess!

The most urgent task now is to deploy the defenses on the front lines of Hangzhou and Suzhou as soon as possible, as well as the defenses around Nanjing, but we must not let the Japanese army drive straight into Nanjing, then we will be in big trouble! "

"What? Chase to Nanjing?"

Generalissimo Jiang's pupils shrank suddenly, then he shook his head and said, "It shouldn't happen, right? The kid has such a big appetite?"

Bai Chongxi shook his head speechlessly and said, "Commissioner, the little devil's appetite has been spoiled, we'd better be careful!"

Bai Chongxi is known as the little Zhuge, and his tactical vision is still unique. He had already smelled the danger half a month ago, and now he has a very serious sense of crisis after the dismal ending of the Songhu battlefield.

In fact, before the Battle of Songhu, the Japanese cabinet had concerns about expanding the war against China. It stipulated that the line from Suzhou to Jiaxing was the limit line, and there was no plan to attack Nanjing!

However, Generalissimo Jiang's repeated actions caused the situation on the Songhu battlefield to collapse day by day, and in the end it turned into a massacre. The retreat in just over 20 days caused more than [-] casualties!

The Japanese 10th Army, having tasted the sweetness, broke free from the "reins" and pursued Nanjing alone with the staff headquarters on its back!

It was not until November 11 that Japanese Deputy Chief of Staff Jun Tada learned of his plot after receiving the telegram from the 20th Army, and he couldn't help being surprised.

But at this time, the 6th Division had already arrived in Huzhou, and the Su-Jia line became imaginary.

Faced with the fait accompli, the Japanese General Staff Headquarters abolished the Sujia Line on the 24th, and on December 12st, the Japanese High Command issued "Mainland Order No. 1": ordering the Japanese army to capture Nanjing.

"report!"

At this moment, a communications staff officer rushed in and reported solemnly: "Jiaxing was captured by the 18th Division of the Japanese Army! Changshu was violently attacked by the 16th Division of the Japanese Army."

"What? Jiaxing fell like this?"

"What? The little devil hit Changshu so quickly? How fucking fast!"

"The little devil has such a big appetite? Is it really necessary to fight all the way to Nanjing before giving up?"

? ? ? ? "Not good! My seat, you little devil is trying to make dumplings for all the more than 100 divisions we are retreating!"

"It's over! We're in big trouble now!"

"That's right! If these troops can't be withdrawn, don't say Nanjing can't hold it! I'm afraid the whole of China will be ruined!"

As soon as he heard the news, the hall exploded in an instant, even though all kinds of bad news these days have already made all the senior generals numb!

For example, the Battle of Taiyuan just ended a week ago!

The Battle of Taiyuan was a large-scale strategic defensive battle between the Second Theater of China and the North China Front Army of the Japanese Army in the northern, eastern, and central areas of Shanxi Province after the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War. It was the first large-scale battle between China and Japan in North China.

The total strength of the Japanese army involved in the war was about 4 in four and a half divisions, with nearly 14 casualties.

The total strength of the army participating in the battle was 6 group armies and 52 divisions (brigades), with a total of more than 28 people and more than 10 casualties.

The Battle of Taiyuan lasted for 2 months, mainly including the Battle of Pingxingguan, the Battle of Xinkou, the Battle of Niangziguan, the Battle of Taiyuan, etc.!
