Chapter 473 The troops are approaching the city (this chapter is free)
On May 1, the 32nd year of the Republic of China (1943), the Chinese Expeditionary Force successfully landed on Shah Alan Beach.
In early May, the 11th, 12th, 21st, 22nd and 2nd Armored Infantry Divisions of the Chinese Expeditionary Force, in collaboration with the U.S. Navy and directly affiliated aviation divisions, swept across the Malay Peninsula with overwhelming force. The Japanese 5th Division lost consecutive battles, so it abandoned Kuala Lumpur on the 10th and was defeated in Singapore.
On May 20, the Chinese Expeditionary Force arrived at the gates of Singapore and faced off with the Japanese across the Strait of Johor. At the same time, the Seventh Fleet of the US Navy's Pacific Fleet sailed from the Java Sea into the South China Sea and blocked the Strait of Malacca from the east. , more than 40,000 Japanese soldiers and hundreds of thousands of family members accompanying the army, and Japanese expatriates were trapped in Singapore.
No. 4 Middle School, accompanying the capital.
When the expeditionary force arrived at the gates of Singapore, the Japanese troops in Central China had already arrived to accompany the capital!
The evolution of the war situation in Central China was almost exactly as Okamura Neiji expected. Only ten days after the war began, more than 50 "elite" divisions of the national army deployed at the frontline collapsed. The Japanese army took advantage of the victory to pursue them, and the national army suddenly collapsed thousands of miles away. , only 20 days after the war began, the Japanese 3rd Forward Division had already arrived at the gates of Chongqing!
The rumble of cannons could be heard outside the capital city, and the city was in chaos.
No matter the senior generals of the national army, senior officials of the Nationalist government, or celebrities from all walks of life living in Peidu, no one expected that the Japanese army would arrive at Peidu in such a short period of time. Then they heard that the Japanese army had already marched along the Yangtze River waterway. When they arrived outside the capital city, everyone was in a panic.
The chairman's official residence was also in chaos.
The lady burst into tears and said to the chairman of the committee, "Darling, will you come with me?"
"Madam, you should leave quickly before the Japanese invaders enter the city." The chairman shook his head resolutely, "As for me, I don't want to go anywhere. I lost my capital Nanjing five years ago, but my companion capital is It cannot be lost anymore, even if the Japanese army will inevitably enter the city eventually, they will have to step over my body, Jiang."
"Darling..." Madam burst into tears, and immediately left quickly with her brother Song Ziwen half dragging and half pulling her.
Looking at his wife's retreating figure, the chairman let out a long sigh, and suddenly felt a sense of loneliness. As the saying goes, literature must die for admonishment, military must die for war, and a monarch must die for his country. Although he is not a monarch, he is also the supreme leader of the National Government. , naturally one should die for the country and the nation!
