Duanwu finally understood why Liu Peixu spent so much effort to find Sun Yuanliang.
Sun Yuanliang is his direct superior. How can he not give Sun Yuanliang face?
To put it bluntly, under the crazy offensive of the Japanese army, all senior officers planned to retreat.
Although they don't know where it will be safe to retreat, retreating is the right thing to do.
Or tomorrow, there will be another peace negotiation, and then North China, Shanghai and other places will be ceded to Japan, and they will be able to live a peaceful and happy life again.
Just like when the three northeastern provinces were ceded to Japan.
The three northeastern provinces bought them six years of comfort, and even if North China could buy them three years of happy time, that would be enough for them.
As for the life and death of the people in the occupied areas, only ghosts will care about them.
Therefore, in the Chinese army, a strange circle generally appears. The lower-level officers hate the Japanese with all their heart, while the higher-level officers are as timid as rats.
Of course, there were also dedicated officers and soldiers in China, and they became the iron army and the main force in the fight against Japan.
But it has to be said that such iron troops do not constitute the majority. Otherwise, it would not have been six years since the three northeastern provinces were occupied by the Japanese army, and no one would have intervened.
As for Sun Yuanliang, Liu Peixu and others, let alone them.
Sun Yuanliang was greedy for life and afraid of death, and Liu Peixu was directly a traitor who was a domestic slave with three surnames.
Sometimes, Dragon Boat Festival really wants to kill the two of them directly, and it will be over.
However, really killing two people might cause even greater trouble.
Killing two people, the 40th Division and the 88th Division, left the group without a leader. This would give the Japanese an opportunity to take advantage of.
Therefore, appeasement and making the two of them submit with the chairman's order is the best option.
Thinking of this, Duanwu chuckled and said: "Master, in two days, the committee will issue new orders in two days. Today has passed, and we will see the outcome tomorrow, November 14th or early 15th.
All this time adds up to only one and a half days. Excluding the enemy's superior firepower at night, it will not be effective. We only need to hold on for more than ten hours.
Master, you will not disobey orders just because of these ten hours, right?"
Duanwu asked back, and Sun Yuanliang was speechless. Because indeed, he still persisted for more than ten hours.
As for disobeying orders, he has never thought about it. Disobeying orders on the battlefield will result in beheading. Although Sun Yuanliang is a direct descendant of the Chairman, he directly goes against the Chairman's wishes. Give it a try. The Chairman kills without blinking an eye.
.
"Duanwu, you said this. But what if there is no new order from the Chairman on the 15th?"
Sun Yuanliang asked back, he had defeated the entire Dragon Boat Festival army.
But this has nothing to do with the Dragon Boat Festival?
However, the Dragon Boat Festival has its own countermeasures, let these fearful people hold on until the 15th.
Duanwu replied proudly: "If there is no order from the Chairman on the 15th, I will personally call Lao Yang. Please rest assured!"
"Lao Yang?"
Sun Yuanliang was surprised for a moment, and then he thought of it. The old Yang mentioned in the Dragon Boat Festival could not be Secretary-General Yang.
Sun Yuanliang thought: "You are really good, I don't even dare to call you Lao Yang, but you dare. I will have to listen to you in the future."
But no matter what, the matter was resolved satisfactorily.
Sun Yuanliang and Liu Peixu have no objections, so what can other divisions and brigades say? Although the losses are heavy, this is an order given by the Chairman. If anyone dares to disobey, he will die.
Therefore, a false order from Dragon Boat Festival actually stabilized the entire Wu-Fu line.
This is naturally not good news for the Japanese army. Originally, they could break through on multiple fronts and force the Chinese army to retreat. They could even use a ladder to block it.
But unexpectedly, the Chinese army suddenly went crazy and clung to the fortifications that were already bombarded by strong ships and artillery and were riddled with holes.
The Japanese lost more than 5,000 people in one day and injured countless others.
The commander of the 11th Division, Shanbao Zongwu, was very angry because his 22nd Regiment suffered the greatest losses, nearly two thousand people died on the river bank.
"Tomorrow, I hope that the imperial fleet and imperial aircraft can support the battle on the northern front to the maximum extent.
The resistance of the enemy's 40th Division was, for some reason, particularly tenacious. We once occupied the enemy's position and forced the 40th Division to retreat across the board.
However, just when we thought that there was no suspense in this battle, the 40th Division launched a crazy counterattack against our army.
They were like a group of lunatics. Starting from the reserve position of the Second Battalion, they gradually regained the defensive position, causing huge casualties to our army."
Shanbao Zongwu was in the command room, slapping the table and shouting loudly with the division commanders of other divisions. The main reason was that the empire's air force did not provide effective support to him.
At this time, Hisao Tsuneya, commander of the Sixth Division, said indifferently: "Mr. Somu, you are not the only one who has been damaged, and you also have naval guns for support. Our Sixth Division, however, is pointing at
Imperial plane.
If all the planes on the Southern Front are transferred to the Northern Front, will we still be able to fight the war on the Southern Front?"
Shanbao Zongwu said disdainfully: "In my opinion, we should support the northern front first. If we tear the hole on the northern front wider, the Chinese troops on the southern front will be forced to retreat.
And by that time,..."
Before Sanbao Munetake could finish his words, Hase Hisao retorted: "Don't get to that time. By that time, the Eighty-eighth Division and the Eighty-seventh Division on the southern front will have escaped. Those are China's elite troops. We
They must be eliminated at the Wufu Line. Otherwise, these two troops will cause serious trouble to the empire."
"Baga, can just two divisions control China's battlefield?
Chinese military officers are a group of villains who are greedy for life, afraid of death, selfish, and obsessed with interests. They are completely vulnerable to the powerful Japanese Empire.
What we need to do now is to give the Chinese soldiers a head-on blow and let them know how powerful the Japanese Empire is.
I think that Chinese soldiers are not worthy of the word soldier at all. Except for a few of them, how many troops do they have that dare to confront our Empire of Japan head-on?
Although the Eighty-seventh and Eighty-eighth Divisions are elite, they will eventually be crushed into powder by the empire's iron fist!"
Shanbao Zongwu slammed the table again. Obviously, the successive victories had made this little devil crazy. In his eyes, the Chinese army was simply vulnerable. And this counterattack was just a return to the past.
And Hase Hisao naturally thought the same way. He just didn't want all the credit to be taken away by Yamaho Somu.
If the northern front was victorious but his southern front made no progress, what would Commander Matsui think? Would he think that Hisao Hase was incompetent?
Therefore, he must not let Shanbao Zongwu transfer the aircraft on the southern route!...
