I am Jiang Weiguo in World War II

As we all know, the war in Shanghai is extremely tense, and Chiang Kai-shek can't wait to throw all his money into Shanghai. The troops who go to Shanghai are "only allowed to advance, not to retreat", so the troops that can withdraw from Shanghai are exhausted. The casualty rate of the troops is at least over [-]%. The entire division, brigade, and regiment are all wounded soldiers. They were withdrawn to Suzhou, Kunshan, Taicang, Wuxi, Changzhou, Jiangyin, Zhenjiang and other cities behind Shanghai just to recuperate.

镇江的国军部队跟其它上海后方城市一样，番号编制非常杂乱，来自天南海北十几支部队，主要的包括第18师、第88师第264旅、第67师第201旅、第98师第538团、第170师等，这些部队有一个共同点：都在上海战场上打得近乎精光。

There were originally thousands, thousands, or tens of thousands of troops, but now there are only two types of people left: the dead and the wounded.

There are more than 5000 wounded soldiers of the national army recuperating in Zhenjiang. Among them, less than [-] are recovering quickly, [-] to [-] are mildly and moderately wounded, [-] to [-] are moderately and severely wounded, and they have no weapons, because the weapons of the dead and wounded soldiers It is to be handed over to the next batch of officers and soldiers participating in the war.

Major General Zhu Yaohua, the commander of the 18th Division, was temporarily in charge of leading the Zhenjiang troops. He had only two types of soldiers: miscellaneous soldiers and wounded soldiers. What he had to face were 2 elite soldiers from the [-]nd Division, the most powerful Japanese army. The Zhenjiang garrison was not only inferior to the Japanese army in "quality", but also inferior in quantity.

Zhu Yaohua was well aware of the importance of the important mission he had to undertake all of a sudden. The Japanese army crossing the Yangtze River would cause enormous harm. On the one hand, it would cut off the Nanjing-Shanghai transportation line, and on the other hand, it would threaten the capital Nanjing. The Japanese army must be driven back from Jiangnan to Jiangbei , Even if you can't rush back, you can't let the Japanese army capture a city like Zhenjiang.

Zhu Yaohua had an unforgettable understanding of the combat effectiveness of the Japanese army. His 18th Division had more than [-] troops before it entered the Songhu battlefield. Wuqian Paoze brothers and sisters have been buried in the front line of Shanghai.

The Japanese army fought defensive battles, and a division could hold [-] to [-] national troops, and this is the data on the field. If the Japanese army occupied steep mountains and rivers and large urban buildings, then the national army would need at least [-] troops Only the above forces can capture it, because the Japanese army who obtained the mountains, rivers, and urban buildings equals to the geographical advantage, and the defense and anti-strike capabilities will naturally increase greatly.

Zhu Yaohua knew that once the 2nd Division was allowed to capture Zhenjiang, the 2nd Division would gain a firm foothold, and the national army would never want to drive this Japanese army back to Jiangbei with gangrene and visceral tumors.

"We must stop the Japanese army! Keep the Japanese army out of the city! Stop the Japanese army from occupying Zhenjiang!" Zhu Yaohua clenched his fists.

On the one hand, Zhu Yaohua quickly asked for help from Nanjing, and on the other hand, he called the chief officers of various troops in Zhenjiang to discuss the war.

At this time, there were five generals in Zhenjiang, all major generals. Zhenjiang is not a front-line city, nor is it a big city. There are five generals here. It makes people think that China has too many generals, but in fact, five generals The wounded are all recuperating here, namely Zhu Yaohua himself, Huang Meixing, commander of the 88th Brigade of the 264th Division, Cai Bingyan, commander of the 67st Brigade of the 201th Division, Lu Jingrong, chief of staff of the 98th Division, and the 170th Brigade of the 510th Division. Long Pang Hanzhen.

Among the five generals, Zhu Yaohua's left arm was broken by Japanese shell fragments, Huang Meixing was shot in the abdomen, Cai Bingyan was blown up by a Japanese grenade, his legs were broken, Lu Jingrong was blinded by a Japanese mortar shell, and Pang Hanzhen was shot by a Japanese sniper. Flying the right ear and cracking a piece of the skull on the right, the bullet missed his life by half a centimeter.

"We are inferior to the Japanese army in terms of military strength and firepower!" Huang Meixing looked dignified but determined in his eyes. "The only way is to stalk and fight to get follow-up troops to come for reinforcements!"

Zhu Yaohua took out a telegram with Chiang Kai-shek's name on it: "The chairman said that he has no extra troops on hand, but he can reinforce us with ordnance and ammunition. The Military and Political Department has installed weapons and equipment for ten large ships and sent them along the Yangtze River from Nanjing. Come to Zhenjiang.

As for the rest, we can only rely on ourselves!"

"It is the only thing our 'old, weak, sick and disabled troops' can do at the moment to exhaust the vital strength of the Japanese army!" Cai Bingyan said, "We can only fight a desperate battle!"

"We are all people who have already died once, what an honor to be able to die for the country again!" Lu Jingrong said with a smile.

"One life for one life with the Japanese army!" Pang Hanzhen was furious, "Even if the 2nd Division enters Zhenjiang City, there will not be many people left! In this way, even if Zhenjiang is lost, it will be easier for the national army to regain Zhenjiang in the future!"

After the soldiers of the 2nd Division approached the city of Zhenjiang, they found that a "very strange Chinese army" was blocking their way into the city.

The Los Angeles Times reported the following day:

"...Compared to Beiping, Tianjin, Shanghai, and Nanjing, the major cities in China that were successively burned by wars, Zhenjiang, a small city in the south of the Yangtze River, located in the south of Jiangsu Province, China, is unknown. In fact, it also It is not the focus of the battle, but this picturesque Chinese city nestled against the Yangtze River and surrounded by several small hills ushered in a tragic battle yesterday that made people weep.

The Second Division, known as one of the two strongest units of the Japanese Army, skillfully avoided the main force of the Chinese army in Nanjing in the early hours of yesterday, crossed the Yangtze River, and appeared near Zhenjiang, about [-] kilometers east of Nanjing. Zhenjiang was occupied by the Japanese army, which had a huge negative impact on the Chinese military in all aspects. The Chinese army must stick to Zhenjiang.

What kind of troops is the Chinese army defending Zhenjiang?A miscellaneous army, none of which has a unified designation, more than 9000 of them are local young and middle-aged residents in Zhenjiang (the Zhenjiang security regiment originally had more than 4000 people, and there were more than 1 young and middle-aged residents when the Japanese army approached their hometown. He joined the security regiment without hesitation), and there are more than [-] wounded soldiers of the regular army of the Chinese army, all of whom were evacuated from the front line in Shanghai to Zhenjiang for treatment and from different troops.

There are more than 5000 wounded soldiers in the Chinese army in Zhenjiang, of which more than 1 participated in the battle, and 5000 did not participate, because the [-] wounded soldiers were either seriously wounded lying in bed or were The wounded with a broken leg and unable to walk.

We saw that the Chinese army in Zhenjiang was full of wounded soldiers covered in bandages, some had arms hung around their necks with bandages, some had lost an arm or a hand, and there were even blind and blind soldiers .

Why are these wounded soldiers so desperate?Because their chiefs, five Chinese generals, took the lead in the charge.

The five generals were also wounded. General Zhu had a broken left arm. General Huang had a thick bandage wrapped around his abdomen and was carefully supported by two guards to keep walking. General Cai sat in a wheelchair and was pushed up by his guards. On the battlefield, General Lu's eyes were already blind, and General Pang's head was wrapped with a thick bandage.

The behavior of the five generals boosted the morale of the defending troops composed of wounded soldiers and militiamen like never before. The almost crazy shouts in Chinese resounded through this beautiful small city by the Yangtze River. Their fighting will was not even lost to the Their enemy - the Second Division, one of the two strongest units of the Japanese Army.

Such a weak but so tenacious enemy made the Japanese soldiers of the Second Division feel unprecedented surprise.

It is indeed very rare in the history of war for five generals to take the lead in charging together. When a unit composed of wounded soldiers and militia faces the most powerful and fierce army of the enemy country, it fights bravely without fear. This kind of thing is also very rare in the history of war. We have to be greatly shocked by the superhuman spirit of the Chinese people who continue to fight on the battlefield even if they are injured in order to defend the country (the truth is: there are so many The wounded soldiers of the national army went to the battlefield without hesitation. On the one hand, it was driven by patriotism; Low, lack of painkillers, lack of anti-inflammatory drugs, lack of surgical equipment, lack of doctors... As a result, most wounded soldiers cannot receive timely and effective medical treatment. In an extremely painful and desperate state of festering, pus and bleeding, it is better to die for the country vigorously and to end it happily than to live like this.

)!”

After the Battle of Zhenjiang officially broke out, the situation was one-sided without any suspense, but it was not completely one-sided. The city defenders who were completely at a disadvantage still had two or three "advantages". The vegetation is like shade and the stream is like a net, which gives the defenders a little "geographical advantage". In addition, Chiang Kai-shek, who knows the significance of Zhenjiang's gains and losses, ordered Zhou Zhirou, "The Air Force must do its best to reinforce the Zhenjiang defenders." From the completely exhausted air force, three or five old-fashioned bombers that had been put in the warehouse and were waiting to be dismantled were flown to Zhenjiang to help in the battle, which more or less helped the Zhenjiang defenders; in addition, the Zhenjiang defenders The biggest advantage is the lack of firepower of the Japanese army.

The "culprit" that caused the lack of firepower of the 2nd Division is naturally the gunboat Datong, which the Japanese army hates so much. This ship will definitely be picked up by the Japanese Navy within 5 minutes. The smashed old ship in the late Qing Dynasty was alive and naked on the Yangtze River. "There are no tigers in the mountains, and monkeys are called kings." It was transported across the Yangtze River (Zeng Yiding dispatched more than ten torpedo boats to assist the Datong in searching and alerting on the Yangtze River, which made the Datong well aware of the river section within tens of kilometers. If the Japanese artillery units crossed the river, the torpedo boats would find , and then flew to report to the Datong), and half of the division's weapons and ammunition were sent to the bottom of the river by it, which made the combat effectiveness of the 2nd Division sharply reduced by at least one-third.

Even so, the ratio of casualties between the Chinese and Japanese armies on the battlefield in Zhenjiang was as high as nearly ten to one. The militiamen, wounded soldiers in Zhenjiang, and the people in Zhenjiang were completely delaying the time for the Japanese army to capture Zhenjiang with their flesh and blood.

The battle was so tragic that it moved people to tears. The "Salvation Daily" reported this way: "...the few guns and ammunition were distributed to the militiamen because they could still shoot. Most of the wounded soldiers were only given a few grenades. Their tactics There are only two ways, look for an opportunity to throw grenades at the Japanese army, or lie on the ground and pretend to be dead, waiting for the Japanese army to ring the grenade and jump up to die with them.

In fact, they didn't even have a chance to realize this wish, because most of them fell on the way of charging.

...five generals were killed in battle, and General Zhu Yaohua was the last to die in battle, he committed suicide!"

When the attacking troops of the 2nd Division and the defending troops of Zhenjiang started a basically one-sided melee in the forests of Wuzhou Mountain and Shilichang Mountain in the western suburbs of Zhenjiang, Zhu Yaohua issued an order at the edge of the forest: "Light on fire!"

More than 1000 militiamen poured gasoline, diesel, and kerosene prepared in advance on the vegetation on the edge of the forest, and then set fire to it. Soon, the forests of Wuzhou Mountain and Shilichang Mountain were billowing with smoke and flames, slowly forming a forest. Man-made wildfires.

Zhu Yaohua did this to try his best to prevent the Japanese army from occupying Zhenjiang. Setting fire to the mountains was a good way, but there must be a large number of his own people in the mountains who were burned to death, choked to death, and roasted to death, so he was heartbroken after ordering this After giving the order, he suddenly took out his pistol, shot himself in the heart before the people around him had time to react, committed suicide and died for the country.

When Zhenjiang fell into an unsustainable bloody battle, high-level decision makers such as Chiang Kai-shek in Nanjing were fidgeting.

A large number of senior generals and staff officers gathered in front of the map or beside the sand table, and repeatedly studied and studied the Jiangnan theater. The conclusions reached made Chiang Kai-shek, who had not closed his eyes all day and night, more and more anxious, and made him secretly regret it.

The national army was passive across the board. The root cause was the lack of troops. The Japanese hit at the weakest point, and a large part of the already small number of precious troops was exacerbated. Right now, the 918 regiment still has about five Thousands of soldiers capable of fighting, and more than 182 soldiers of the Gendarmerie remained intact. The 3000nd Division of the Dian Army was greatly damaged in the first battle, with nearly half of the casualties, and there were still more than [-] soldiers capable of fighting. Injury to the muscles and bones, the three divisions originally had a total strength of about [-] troops, and at this time there were still about [-] troops. Therefore, Chiang Kai-shek, the commander-in-chief of the three armies and a special superior, could directly command only about [-] troops in Nanjing. [-] people.

As the saying goes, it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice, and without troops, even if Sun Wu is reborn and Wu Qi is reborn, it is impossible to win the battle.

A group of high-ranking generals gathered in the conference hall, many of whom were military strategists, studied for more than ten hours all night, and came to an almost nonsense conclusion: to reverse the dangerous situation in Nanjing and Jiangnan in a short period of time, at least one Qigong must be invested. The full-staffed group army, on the one hand, firmly blocked the 6th and 16th divisions in Jiangbei, and on the other hand, firmly restricted the 2nd division to Jiangnan. Otherwise, these three divisions would be like inserting into the rear of the national army. And it is the three steel knives near Nanjing, the heart of China, which brings great harm.

Chiang Kai-shek smiled wryly: If I had a group army on hand, would I still be so embarrassed?

"Where is the Second Army? How long will it take to reach Nanjing? Tell Liu Zhi, hurry up! The capital is in danger! Southern Jiangsu is in danger! The overall situation in Ninghu is in danger!"

"Where is the 11th Army? Tell Li Pinxian, it's a starry night! Even if you are exhausted, you must speed up!"

"When will the second division of the 60th Army arrive? Has the transport fleet departed from Kunming? Try to pack as many people as possible in each plane! Nanjing needs troops! Hurry up! What?...Three Junker transport planes crashed because they were overloaded You bastard! These transport planes were bought from Germany at a huge expense by the government! Don’t lose them easily!”

"Let both the fourth theater and the fifth theater deploy troops to reinforce the third theater! Quick!"

In the communication room of the Military Commission, all kinds of hoarse phone calls rang together. In the conference room, Bai Chongxi, He Yingqin, Cheng Qian, Xu Yongchang and others were engaged in fierce disputes.

"The Zhenjiang army is fighting desperately! It is estimated that it will not last tonight! Zhenjiang must be reinforced!"

"There are not many troops in Nanjing. If we draw again, what will happen to Nanjing? Nanjing is more important than Zhenjiang!"

"Short-sighted! Zhenjiang was occupied by the Japanese army, and the communication line between Nanjing and Shanghai was cut off! What about the hundreds of thousands of troops in Shanghai?"

"The 6th Division and the 16th Division are staring at Jiangbei in Nanjing! What if they kill them?"

"If Nanjing is lost, it can still be taken! If the troops are gone, Nanjing will be gone too! Don't put the cart before the horse!"

"The gendarmerie is recruiting Nanjing citizens to form a militia, which should be able to solve some urgent needs..."

"This is drinking poison to quench thirst! How much combat power can ordinary people who have just got guns have?"

"We have to find out whether the Japanese 2nd Division is really attacking Zhenjiang or trying to lure snakes out of the hole! I am worried that Neiji Okamura is actually trying to lure our troops stationed in Nanjing out of Nanjing's fortifications under the pretense of attacking Zhenjiang, and lure them to Nanjing and On the field between Zhenjiang, and then wipe out our Nanjing troops!"

"That's right! Neiji Okamura, the commander of the 2nd Division of the Japanese Army, is really not simple. He is full of tricks and cunning tricks!"

"This question is actually meaningless at all! With the strength of the 2nd Division at this time, it is enough to take Zhenjiang and lure our Nanjing troops out to destroy them! There are no concrete fortifications, no Zijinshan artillery group, we need three soldiers Hit a Japanese soldier!"

New military reports keep coming in:

"The 6th Division of the Japanese Army seems to be withdrawing from the Pukou District in Jiangbei and turning to the east!"

"The defenders of Zhenjiang are on the verge of collapse. Zhu Yaohua ordered to set fire to the mountain to delay the Japanese army. General Zhu Yaohua committed suicide. Some Zhenjiang residents tried to set fire to the city to stop the Japanese army from taking Zhenjiang!"

"Urgent report! Navy submarine u-1096 found a Japanese transport fleet about 120 nautical miles due east of Shanghai! It is very likely that it is the 108th and 109th divisions of the Japanese army! But it is impossible to judge whether these two divisions will be in Qidong County in Jiangbei is still landing in Hangzhou Bay in Jiangnan!"

The atmosphere in the conference room was already tense and almost solidified, because the situation was deteriorating rapidly, and Chiang Kai-shek's face became more and more serious, and in the end it could be described as livid.

[Today is Japan's Surrender Day.

Chapter 231 Desperate to save (1)

The reason why the situation in the south of the Yangtze River has deteriorated to the point where it is almost out of control at this time is that Lieutenant General Neiji Okamura, head of the Japanese Second Division, is the "second hero" and the "first hero" is Chiang Kai-shek.

If it hadn't been for Chiang Kai-shek's obsession with the "great situation" on the front line in Shanghai and his unwillingness to withdraw his troops, it would be impossible for Nanjing and Jiangnan to fall into such a dangerous situation of empty troops. The most secure tactics of sticking to the defense, but adopting the highly adventurous tactic of "combining troops in one place and breaking down one by one", caused the main force of the Nanjing defenders to be entangled by the 2th Division in Pukou District of Jiangbei and consumed a lot of vitality. The 6nd Division took the opportunity Crossing the river and setting foot on the south of the Yangtze River, Lieutenant General Okamura realized the two important goals of "threatening the rear of Nanjing" and "cutting off the Nanjing-Shanghai transportation line".

After taking a breath, Lieutenant General Okamura suppressed the excitement and joy in his heart. He knew that he hadn't reached the time to celebrate and cheer, and he was still one step away from the final success.

After calming down, Lieutenant General Okamura sent a telegram to Lieutenant General Hisao Tani, which said: Mr. Gu, please lead your troops to withdraw from the battlefield in Pukou District immediately and turn to the area around Qingshan Town (where the 2nd Division crosses the river). go ahead.

Lieutenant General Okamura's instruction has two great advantages. First, it is meaningless for the 6th Division to continue to stay on the Jiangbei front line, because the 6th Division has already completed the task of covering the 2nd Division (special attention should be paid to: The nature of the 6th Division's attack on Pukou District is divided into two layers. In Lieutenant General Tani Hisao's plan, the 6th Division's attack was "a strong attack to enter Nanjing in one fell swoop", while Lieutenant General Okamura's plan Here, the 6th Division's attack was very unwise and doomed to fail, but it could serve as a cover for the 2nd Division's crossing of the river, so Lieutenant General Okamura subtly carried out Lieutenant General Hisao Tani's stupid behavior "Waste utilization". At the same time, he also helped Lieutenant General Gu Hisao to cover up his ugliness, which made Lieutenant General Gu Hisao grateful and stopped recklessly. This made the 6th Division wholeheartedly cooperate with the 2nd Division.

——After Lieutenant General Hisao Tani did something stupid, Lieutenant General Okamura had two choices. One was to tell the truth to his superiors, or even to add insult to injury. Lieutenant General Hisao Tani definitely had no good fruit to eat, but Lieutenant General Okamura did not benefit either , and it will also destroy the relationship between the two divisions at this time. The second is to help Lieutenant General Gu Hisao cover his ugliness and report to his superiors, "Lieutenant General Gu Hisao launched a strong attack on Nanjing Jiangbei in order to cover our division. Not only was he not at fault, but instead There is also credit, if it were not for the bloody battle between Lieutenant General Gu Hisao and the 6th Division, which attracted the attention and strength of the Chinese Army, the 2nd Division and I would not be able to cross the Yangtze River." In this way, Lieutenant General Gu Hisao would not Being dismissed and investigated, the "humiliating defeat" of the 6th Division will also become a "glorious, self-sacrificing cover operation", and the face is saved. Lieutenant General Tani Hisao is extremely grateful to Lieutenant General Okamura, the 6th Division The regiment will fully cooperate with the 2nd Division. The two divisions are "sincerely united and united with one heart and one mind" to deal with the Chinese army. Perfect cooperation, can be called a model of the Imperial Army" and so on, the ending is happy.

It has to be said that Lieutenant General Okamura is not only a brilliant tactician, but also a good man, and he will take the overall situation into consideration.

), the 6th Division at this time still had about 6 elite soldiers. Undoubtedly, the 6th Division was still a very powerful military force. The war at this time still requires the 6th Division to continue to make contributions. If the 2th Division continues to attack Pukou District, the gain will not be worth the loss. The assistance of the heavy artillery group, and also has permanent defense fortifications. It is not worthwhile for the Japanese army to continue to fight. There is no need for the 918th Division to chew on this hard bone that is already tasteless; the second advantage is that the 6th Division withdraws from Pukou District. , the Chinese army cannot remain indifferent, because if the 6th Division is allowed to leave, if the 6th Division also crosses the river and joins forces with the 6nd Division on the south bank of the river, the dangerous situation in the south of the Yangtze River will become even worse. , The Chinese army will inevitably pursue the 2th Division, and then it will be in the arms of Lieutenant General Okamura. The Chinese army has no heavy artillery groups and concrete fortifications, and it will fight the Japanese army in the field. The combat mode will naturally greatly benefit the Japanese army.

On the one hand, Lieutenant General Okamura allowed the 6th Division to better exert its combat power, on the other hand, it forced the Chinese army to fall into a further disadvantage.

It can be said that Okamura's several moves are connected seamlessly.

As for Lieutenant General Okamura's instruction (not an order, because Lieutenant General Okamura has no authority to give orders to Lieutenant General Hisao Tani), Lieutenant General Gu Hisao executed it as sloppily as he had ordered, and he is now convinced by Lieutenant General Okamura Oral, no more unauthorized actions.

The 2nd and 6th divisions fought in full swing and made great strides, which made the 16th division in charge of the rear a little bit unable to hold back. Lieutenant General Nakajima immediately sent a requesting telegram to Lieutenant General Okamura: We need our division to reinforce you ?

Lieutenant General Okamura, Lieutenant General Tani Hisao, and Lieutenant General Nakajima are all division commanders, and they are all under the command of Lieutenant General Yanagawa, the commander of the 3rd Army. The performance made Lieutenant General Hisao Tani and Lieutenant General Nakajima seem to have regarded him as the "leader" of the three divisions.

Lieutenant General Yanagawa, who was in Shanghai, also acquiesced to Lieutenant General Okamura as the commander-in-chief of the three divisions ahead.

Facing Lieutenant General Nakajima's kind and sincere request, Lieutenant General Okamura gave a negative answer after repeated consideration: No, Mr. Nakajima, please continue to stick to the 16th Division in Jiangbei. We need to maintain a strong military force in Jiangbei Jiangnan is the front line, and Jiangbei is the rear. The 2nd and 6th divisions need the 16th division to stabilize the Jiangbei rear. Without the efforts and dedication of the 16th division, the 2nd and 6th divisions will definitely be in great danger territory.

The rear lifeline of the 2nd and 6th divisions is up to you and your Kyoto athletes.

After reading Lieutenant General Okamura's reply, although Lieutenant General Nakajima was a little regretful and disappointed, he was still happy to continue to play the role of "green leaf", because Lieutenant General Okamura's words were sincere and sincere, and he had no confidence in the 16th Division. The group is regarded as a "green leaf" contempt.

The telegram that Lieutenant General Okamura sent to Lieutenant General Nakajima was later considered by Japan to be a manifestation of Lieutenant General Okamura's "a wise man is bound to make mistakes".

From the perspective of the senior officials in Japan, the Third Division should cross the river in an all-round way. The more troops that set foot on the south of the Yangtze River, the better. After all, Nanjing is in the south of the Yangtze River, and the Nanjing-Shanghai communication line is also in the south of the Yangtze River. A huge waste of military power.

But Lieutenant General Okamura never thought so. The 16th Division was responsible for guarding the rear area of ​​Jiangbei, which was more than 200 kilometers deep from Qidong County to Yizheng County (Yizheng City), and was also responsible for collecting (looting) materials on the spot for the 2th Division. 6. The 16th Division has blood transfusion, so the [-]th Division cannot move lightly.

In the final analysis, the 2nd and 6th divisions are not engaged in a hit-and-go raid or guerrilla warfare. The 2nd and 6th divisions need to be firmly nailed to the south of the Yangtze River for a long time to cut off the Nanjing-Shanghai communication line , Intercept the main force of the Chinese army retreating from Shanghai to Nanjing, and even lay a foundation for the Japanese army to attack Nanjing in an all-round way. It is very important to consolidate the rear.

"Don't give the enemy any chance!" Lieutenant General Okamura said to the officers around him.

"What a flawless opponent..." Xiao Yao couldn't help sighing after learning about the latest movement of the 6th Division, "This Okamura Ning mainly partnered with that Ishihara Waner..."

"My military division!" Jiang Weiguo couldn't help it, "The 6th Division has retreated! What should we do now?"

Xiao Yao squinted his eyes: "To chase or not to chase, that's all.

After chasing, we will lose the two major advantages of the fortifications and the Purple Mountain Heavy Artillery Group. We will go head-to-head with the 6th Division in the wild. We still have more than 5000 brothers, and the 6th Division has about 6 troops. In the end, our entire army was wiped out. The 7000th Division changed from 1 people to 6 people, and then continued to cross the river; if we didn’t chase, all 7000 people of the 2th Division crossed the river and followed the [-]nd Division Together!"
