War of Resistance: Glory of the Beasts

Chapter 672 If one day... please help me stop it, teacher!
It’s not only the Russians who bring people to Xin County to get some fresh air, but also Huayuankou!
During the Battle of Xuzhou, after withdrawing all his troops, Brother Diary ordered the Huayuankou to be blown up in order to stop the enemy from pursuing...

In 1938, the Yellow River broke its banks!

"impossible!"

Xu Chaoyang stood up straight, stared and asked: "Why are you bombing the entrance to the garden?"

"Shanxi was a great victory, Taiyuan is still there, the Fifth Division cannot reach the hinterland directly, so how can he have any reason to bomb Huayuankou?"

"The victory of Taierzhuang and the retreat from Xuzhou. Although Zhengzhou was lost, Wuhan was not shaken. After all, these are all within an acceptable range..."

After a few words were spoken, the man raised his head and said, "You knew about the bombing of Huayuankou a long time ago?"

Xu Chaoyang got so anxious that he started to talk nonsense!
In history, the Fifth Division and the Chahar Corps opened up Shanxi, occupied Taiyuan, and directly threatened my country's hinterland. At this time, despite the victory in Taierzhuang, the Japanese had already formed an encirclement in Xuzhou. Even if Li Zongren led his troops to withdraw, once the Japanese pursued them, they would directly defeat them like a torrent.

In order to prevent all this from happening, the National Government decided to blow up the Huayuankou and use water instead of soldiers to stop the enemy.

But before all this happens, there is a prerequisite.

That is, after the great victories in Shanxi and Taierzhuang, Brother Diary... became arrogant.

He mobilized more than 20 troops to reinforce Xuzhou, which made the Japanese smell the scent. Then they came up with a plan to encircle Xuzhou on a large scale and completely destroy all the combat power of the Kuomintang.

It's just because after the great victory of Taierzhuang in the Battle of Xuzhou, Brother Diary wanted a "quick victory"!
He was eager to expand his victory and get praise from the whole country to prove himself.

But what is our party's attitude towards the Japanese invaders? The war of resistance must be slow!

Then why did our party adopt an attitude of delaying everything after the great victory in Taierzhuang, and did not eagerly desire victory?
The reason is simple.

In 1938, Fumimaro Konoe reorganized the cabinet and issued the National General Mobilization Law on May 5 of the same year.

What is this bill?
The promulgation of this bill meant that the Japanese officially entered the rationing era of "wartime economy" from that day on.

They are out of money!
Wasn't there a war going on in Xuzhou? How could we tell that the Japanese had no money?

Yes, the harder the Japs fought in Xuzhou, the more it proved that they had no money.

First of all, the depth of our country is beyond the capacity of their small country to support. Moreover, the threat to them is not limited to our country. To the north of the northeast, there is a Siberian bear that can roar at any time and is ready for battle!
Our large-scale deep pull and the threat of the Siberian bear made the Japanese completely feel the shortage of manpower. They even accelerated the process of expanding the army and shortened the training time of the troops. A large number of hastily formed troops were sent to the battlefield. This can be seen from their troop numbers. For example, the 106th Division is actually a division expanded based on the original 6th Division, and the 109th is based on the 9th Division. On the basis of this framework, they will add the prefix 10 in front to distinguish the two troops.

The most elite 1st to 16th divisions will be transferred to the Pacific Ocean in the future. Now, just dealing with this part of the expenses is already very strenuous for the Japanese.
Secondly, they did make a lot of money in the Northeast and occupied our resources, but how much of what the devils got could they put in their pockets? His American father was like a leech lying on him. He hadn't even chewed it well, and the nutrients hadn't been absorbed yet, but the blood in his body had already been sucked out. How could anyone withstand such a disaster?
Finally, let's spread out the accounts. Even if all the interests in Northeast China and North China were taken away by the Japanese, it is obvious that this money can only be supplied to the Americans, not to the Japanese army. If it is supplied to their army, the Americans will not sell them oil. So, in the final analysis, those who went out to work far away from home and worked for more than ten years all earned that little money, which went to the landlords and restaurants. What money did they have?

How can the Japanese not provoke the Americans?

Yes, the National General Mobilization Law can delay the economic difficulties, but before finding the next income, the little devils really have to be like a "card-reversing boy". The closer it is to the repayment date, the more he will circle around in the house. He is so worried. Xu Chaoyang, who is familiar with history, can see the wisdom of the old man under the eyes that transcend the times. If he is not a time traveler, after being oppressed by the devils for so many years, he will probably feel that the diary brother's decision is a relief. It is more fun for the old man to stand up and knock.

The issue is……

In this era, there shouldn't be any explosion at the Garden Gate. After all, Shanxi was not cleared by Itagaki Seishirō.

"He's scared."

Seeing that Xu Chaoyang was not going to respond to his question, he took the lead in giving his answer.

"After Nanjing fell, a large amount of materials were transported to Chongqing. Many of the materials that could not be transported away in time were stranded in Wuhan. At this time, the Battle of Xuzhou broke out. Almost all the important figures of the National Government were in Wuhan. It is no exaggeration to say that Wuhan is the 'second capital' of the National Government."

"Under such circumstances, the government dared not allow any early warning of the safety of Wuhan..."

Xu Chaoyang opened his mouth and looked at him in disbelief.

The war has reached this point, SH and Nanjing have been lost, do you care about Wuhan this time?

Yes, Wuhan is a thoroughfare connecting four provinces and a water and land port...but are you going to flood four provinces just to save the supplies?

Xu Chaoyang admitted that doing so would definitely delay the enemy's pursuit and buy time for the Wuhan evacuation, but that would be 12 million disaster victims! 12 million disaster victims!
Do you know what Henan has become?

Xu Chaoyang has seen an interview, the title of the interview is "XJ Henan Village with a Story". At that time, all the people in Henan were forced to go to XJ, just because of a sentence from the Kuomintang government, "As long as you get on the bus, the government will provide food." For the sake of food, Henan victims sat on flatbed trucks that had no compartments at all and rushed to XJ. Among them, victims from Shaanxi and Shanxi were everywhere.

Wuhan has been evacuated, and the victims left after flooding four provinces are not human beings, right?

Aren’t the people who starved to death during the Great Famine human beings?

Are they human beings?
Xu Chaoyang's cry in his heart was not a joke at all. He just wanted to grab the collar of the diary writer, stare at him and ask him what he was thinking!

Moreover, he knew for sure that when such a day really came, the diary-maker would tell him righteously: "I, alone, have shouldered all the sufferings of the people in this world. Even if I am considered an unforgivable sin in history, if you give me another chance, I will still do the same!"

He would definitely do this because he couldn't turn back.

Xu Chaoyang looked at the man who loved him the most with blurred eyes: "If Chaoyang does something treasonous and against the moral principles in the future, when the guillotine comes down..." He bowed: "Please block it for me."

He was going crazy.
