Chapter 87
In Jinshan County, Yao Family Courtyard.
Before noon, the last attack of the Japanese was finally repelled, and the 367th Regiment ushered in a rare rest time.
Zhong Yi came to the artillery position, patted the mountain cannon's shoulder and said, "Shan cannon, you can rest for a while, I'll stare at you!"
"No." Shanpao wiped the smoke from his face and said, "Commander-in-chief, I'm not tired, really not tired."
"How could you not be tired?" said Wang Zilong, who was accompanying him. "That morning, you destroyed at least four armored Japanese vehicles and two chariot defense cannons that tried to get close to the direct fire. The heavy machine guns they destroyed were even more uncountable. If it weren't for your war defense cannon protecting the flanks, the traffic building opposite and the county office would have been able to break through the Japanese."
Wang Zilong did not say nonsense. The reason why the 367th Regiment could last until now is that the mountain cannon's war defense cannon has made great contributions.
Of course, it is not only the war defense cannon of the mountain cannon that has made great contributions, but also two of the transportation building and county offices.
It is precisely because of these three war defense cannons that the Japanese are like lions biting a hedgehog and have no way to get off, which makes the iron triangle of the transportation building, county office, and Yao family courtyard as solid as a rock.
After pausing, Wang Zilong said again: "Stop quickly, there will be a fierce battle in the afternoon!"
Shanpao no longer pretentiously. He smiled embarrassedly and fell down and snored like thunder for a moment.
Wang Zilong took off his tweed military uniform and covered it with the mountain cannon, and said to Zhong Yi: "Commander-in-chief, we have guarded Jinshan County, but do you think, can Songjiang Prefecture City be guarded?"
Zhong Yi sighed lightly, shook his head and said, "I'm afraid I can't hold on."
Wang Zilong said: "The 67th Army has more than 10,000 troops, and it can't even be defended for a day?"
Zhong Yi said: "If Wu Keren really had the determination to burn his boats, he would really have the determination to burn his hands with the Japanese. For example, Yao Ziqing Camp, who guarded Baoshan County, would be more than enough to guard Songjiang for seven days, but..."
Prince Long said: "But what?"
Zhong Yi sighed: "I'm afraid that Wu Keren doesn't have this determination."
Wang Zilong said: "What the commander-in-chief seems to have other meanings?"
Zhong Yi asked, "Then let me ask you, why didn't Zhang Tuanzuo want his troops to guard the city before I arrived in Jinshan County? Instead, he insisted on putting the troops outside the city?"
When Wang Zilong heard this, he immediately fell silent.
Why did Zhang Kongyi place his troops outside the city? Of course, it is to be able to evacuate the battlefield in time when the situation is unfavorable!
If the troops are placed in the city, they will easily be surrounded by the Japanese army, and they will not be able to leave at that time!
Zhong Yi sighed: "The warlord melee for more than 20 years has caused our China to be terrible. It not only directly led to the displacement of countless people, but also brought a very bad habit into our army!"
Prince Long said sternly: "What the commander-in-chief said is, should you save your strength?"
"That's right, it's just to preserve your strength!" Zhong Yi said, "During the warlords' melee, from the commander's inspection commander, from the company commander or even the platoon leader, everyone's minds are all about preserving their own strength. This cannot be said to be wrong. After all, whoever has stronger strength has greater say, and that's nothing!"
"But now that Japan has entered our China, the Chinese nation is facing a huge danger of national destruction. It would be a big mistake to think about preserving strength. This is the time when our soldiers abandoned their egos for the country and the nation. But what about our captains? It is difficult for us to change the bad habit of preserving strength for a while!"
Prince Long was silent because he really couldn't refute, so he could only remain silent.
Zhong Yi said again: "Why is the 29th Army defeated the Japanese so quickly in Peiping? Why can the more than 30 divisions of the Jinsui Army not defeat half of the Japanese division in Xinkou battlefield? It is because it is difficult to change the bad habit of accumulating strength, and because it is undecided to make up its mind to burn with the Japanese!"
In fact, Zhong Yi hasn't finished speaking yet.
There are also the Central Army on Zhongtiao Mountain and the Central Army of more than a dozen divisions outside Nanjing City, why are they defeated so poorly? It is not because the grassroots officers and soldiers of the Central Army are afraid of the enemy and afraid of the enemy, nor because the Japanese are really invincible. The most important thing is the deep-rooted concept of preserving strength in the minds of the captains at all levels!
Little did they know that on the battlefield of the Anti-Japanese War, the more they wanted to preserve their strength, the faster they would be, miserably, and cowardly!
On the contrary, the Sichuan Army, who were determined to fight for the country and the nation, had a simple equipment and zero logistics support, performed well both in the North China battlefield and the Songhu battlefield! Because the Sichuan Army soldiers had already decided to sacrifice their lives for the country since the moment they stepped out of Sichuan Province, and they no longer wanted those useless ones!
With a sigh, Zhong Yi said again: "In a word, if Wu Keren has the determination to burn both jade and stone, if the brothers of the 67th Army dare to shrink into Songjiang City, within seven days, the Japanese will not cross Songjiang for half a death, otherwise..." After pausing, he said, "Songjiang will definitely be lost before dark today!"
Prince Long remained silent for a long time.
...
Songjiang, 67th Army Headquarters.
Wu Keren asked with a pale face: "What does Chairman Jiang really say?"
"Yes!" the adjutant said with an embarrassing expression, "It is said that this is Chairman Jiang's original words."
When he heard this, several commanders and guards of the headquarters were immediately in an uproar.
"His grandma, after only one defeat, she said that our 67th Army was a coward?"
"Is this still unreasonable? It's a matter of fact? The blood of more than 5,000 brothers from the 107th Division was in vain?"
"Their five Central Army divisions besieged thousands of Japanese devils in Shanghai and could not be taken down for half a month. So what do you say?"
Amid the shouting, a guard carrying Bergman machine gun strode to Wu Keren, gritted his teeth and said, "I can't stand the military throne, let's fight with the Japanese, right?"
As soon as these words came out, they became passionate and angry.
"Yes, fight with the Japanese, fight to the death!"
"Little guy, even if you die, you must let Chiang see. There is no coward in our Northeast Army!"
"Okay, military commander, let's fight with the Japanese. The whole army will enter Songjiang City and fight the Japanese to the end!"
"Yes, I ran from the northeast to the northwest, then from the northwest to North China, and then from North China to Shanghai. Anyway, I am tired and don't want to run away anymore. I'll put this hundred pounds on Songjiang and fight with the Japanese! "
However, Wu Keren said without hesitation: "Shut up!"
After saying that, Wu Keren shouted at Zhang Wenqing, the commander of the 107th Division, and said, "Zhang Wenqing, hurry up and go back to the position and stare. If it is impossible to build a floating bridge before dark, I will only ask!"
"Yes!" Zhang Wenqing turned around and left in shame.
