Chapter 5 Zero-57 Highland

The high-sounding talk from the headquarters about how to advance and retreat had no practical significance for Gao Fei, who was under Japanese artillery fire. After Luo Zhuoying and Xue Yue returned to their respective command posts, they were somewhat resistant to Chen Cheng's orders. Since the troops had already

A retreat order was issued, but suddenly the order was changed overnight? It can easily cause instability in the morale of the military, especially in this extremely special and turbulent period.

Moreover, this so-called 057 Highland is between the overlapping defense areas of Luo Zhuoying and Xue Yue. It can be called anyone's defense area, and this extremely inconspicuous highland has an extremely bloody name, "Chengren Ridge"!

In fact, Highland 057 is just a small hillock. Now this hillock has been shaved off several feet by the Japanese large-caliber naval guns and heavy howitzers. At least three to four thousand troops died trying to guard this point.

Now we still need to send troops to fill it in? Both Luo Zhuoying and Xue Yue knew that Chief Chen was polite on the surface, but if Highland 057 was not restored tonight, I'm afraid it would be them two who would be handed over to the Military Justice Department tomorrow.

The battle has reached this point, with hundreds of thousands of casualties. If it is really a complete defeat, then the country will have to surrender a few important heads to the people. Not to be thought of, Luo Zhuoying and Xue Yue began to piece together their own counterattacks.

force.

A division was defeated without a regiment, and the wounded soldiers pulled down by a regiment could not form a company? Xue Yue also knew that his 19th Group Army was probably at the end of its strength. In Xue Yue's opinion, the terrain of the Shanghai area was special and extremely unfavorable.

It is suitable for large corps operations. It is simply a taboo for military strategists to invest huge forces in such a narrow area. If you do not use intensive force assault, the terrain will turn into a dense formation. Once it is attacked by Japanese artillery fire and bombing, the losses will be heavy!

Xue Yue didn't believe that Chen Cheng didn't understand these most basic military common sense? Even if Chen Cheng really ignored it, what about Zhang Fakui, Zhu Shaoliang, and Gu Zhutong? Is Zhang Zhizhong the only savvy person on the entire Songhu front line? Everyone pretended to understand in their hearts.

Du, refused to be serious with the "old man"! Xue Yue would now be a little avenged for Zhang Zhizhong.

Standing in front of the map, Xue Yue looked at the densely packed ** troop numbers on the map and let out a long sigh. Since the beginning of the war, the ** has invested a total of 78 infantry divisions, seven independent brigades, and three temporary units.

above.

However, due to the extremely inconvenient transportation conditions in the country, it took time to mobilize troops from all over the country to support the front line. The actual number of troops arriving on the battlefield was less than 400,000, and most of them were incremental increases in troops, a refueling tactic. Although the Japanese army increased their troops several times,

soldiers, but the Japanese army

The troops are concentrated, so wherever the Japanese attack, we will be forced to deploy troops for defense. Overall, the comparison of infantry strength between the enemy and our armies at the Songhu frontier is only 1.2:1 between our army and the Japanese army. Xue Yue is very aware of this extremely dangerous situation.

What does proportion mean?

At this time, after a burst of noisy music sounded from the radio nearby, a voice that was very familiar to Xue Yue shouted loudly: "Sacrifice until the last moment, the land does not distinguish between north and south, and people, old and young, all have the responsibility to defend the land and resist the war! Songhu

The war is about to begin. Soldiers from all over the country are hearing the news.

They went to the front line to fight for their own righteousness, and when their fate was about to come, they built trenches with their flesh and blood on the front line. They refused to retreat even if they died. The position was reduced to ashes, but the morale of the army was still as strong as stone. The courage to stand in the battle and the ferocity of death were enough to demonstrate the independence of the nation.
