Rebirth of the National Marshal

Chapter 352 Songhu Debut

The Chinese army guarding the Luodian area was completely wiped out, and none of the nearly 9,000 people including the division commander Lu Jiasheng survived. This is an important piece of news placed on the table of the senior generals of the Party and the country today. It was also because of the dispatch of the Ministry of Military and Political Affairs that there was not enough military equipment and reinforcements to the front line, which led to the fall of the most important area!

"Damn it, tell me what's going on. Didn't you promise me that the Luodian area was safe? Didn't you say that this place was in our hands? How come I lost it today? Don't you know how important this place is to the entire Songhu battlefield? Is there any other way to take it back now?" The principal basically never lost his temper at the highest military meetings.

Because most of the people here are local warlords, if they are scolded too harshly, there may be some variables, but today the principal couldn't help it. These damn warlords told him that there would be no problem in guarding Luodian, but in the end such a thing happened. If Luodian is lost, then the whole Shanghai area will be in real trouble. If Shanghai is really lost, the capital will not be able to be saved, and the whole Jiangnan area may be in danger. At that time, his promise to the people will be over, and he can't afford to lose face.

"You guys should speak up. Aren't you very talkative in normal times? You have to speak here even if I don't allow you to. Now I want to hear what methods you have to help me take back the Luodian area. If you can't take it back, I think you also know what the consequences will be. The foundation of our entire party-state may be lost, and the capital may be lost. How can I have the face to meet the prime minister, and how can you people face the people of the whole country?" Although the principal had been angry before, he had never been as angry as he was today.

In his opinion, being the head of state to this extent is really a coward. Being bullied by these Japanese devils and shitting on his head, he is still the leader of a country after all? But there is no way to retaliate against them. Now, just as they said, they are about to capture your capital. What else can you say? When your capital is captured, will it be considered the destruction of the country?

In the eyes of the Japanese, as long as they took Nanjing, things would be easier in the future. But in the eyes of the Chinese, even if you took all the places, as long as there is a Chinese among us, this war will not be considered a victory for you. But the capital is a signboard after all. If the capital is lost in the hands of the principal, he will really not have the face to see the former prime minister.

Everyone really didn't know what to say at this time. They had sent a lot of troops in the past few days, hoping to take back the Luodian area. Unfortunately, they didn't have any strong troops at hand. The best troops had already been deployed in the first phase. The ones that came later were supplementary troops from various places. The combat effectiveness of these troops was very limited. It was really difficult for them to fight against those elite Japanese devils.

Everyone wants to take this area back, but the reality is there! There are two infantry regiments stationed in this area, all of them are Japanese veterans, they have been in the army for several years, plus there are more than 30 tanks, and there are two destroyers to support at any time. No matter how many troops go up, it will be useless. In the past few days, about 1 people have been lost on the way to the attack.

It's not that we don't want to take this place back, but the gap in strength between us and the Japanese devils is too big. If we want to take this place back, we must have a very powerful force, and the support of air force and artillery. If we don't have these, then we have no way to take back the Luodian area.

These difficulties are real, but the principal doesn't want to hear about them. If anyone speaks out these words, they will definitely be scolded, and maybe even bring disaster upon themselves. So now everyone is silent. Anyway, such a big thing is not just my problem, why don't others speak up? Why should I speak out about this matter that offends others, and why can't I do it myself?

"Father, at this stage we may only have the Chahar local government's security regiment near the Songhu battlefield. They have just arrived in the Nanjing area and are resting. I think if they go up, they should be able to give us some surprises. Don't look at them as a local security regiment, but at present, it is also the best-equipped army among all our armies. Maybe they will give us a surprise. Other armies have experienced many failures and are not as good as theirs in morale. Yesterday I went to their barracks and saw that the morale of these people was very high. Maybe we can let them go to the front line to give it a try." It was impossible to keep the meeting quiet forever.

Someone must speak up, and in the end it all comes down to the prince. Anyway, this country belongs to you two, and if he quits, it's your turn. If no one else says anything, you have to come out to put out the fire. If you remain silent like everyone else, then this country will really be doomed. The prince also knows very well that now is the time to show his ability, and he has to stand up.

When everyone heard the prince come out and speak, they were obviously relieved.

This kind of scene is what you can describe. Now most people know that although the Chahar local government is still under the jurisdiction of the central government in name, that guy has been ignoring orders for a long time. The Nanjing government asked him to come to the meeting, but he hardly came. If things continue to develop, it will become a separatist force. Now that his army is near Nanjing, we can test this guy's heart.

"Since they are here to fight against the Japanese, they don't need so much time to rest. Immediately order their troops to go to the front line and retake the Luodian area for me. How many people have they brought?" The principal immediately gave the order to attack, but at the end he still asked how many people they had brought. In the past, he had only heard that the scale of their security team was relatively large.
