Chapter 749: Wuhan’s storm is coming

"The Third Route Army is retreating..." Song Zheyuan looked at Shandong's telegram and sighed, "The Third Route Army commander-in-chief Han Xiangfang was killed by an aircraft bomb on the spot when he was withdrawing. General Senator Li Yinxuan was seriously injured, and he was a consultant.

Chang Liu Shuxiang was seriously injured..."

Qi Mudeng, the commander of the Second Corps who arrived in Tianjin, whispered, his face very ugly.

"Commander Qi, the situation in Shandong is now irreversible. The ministries have lost unified command and fallen into a retreat." As he said that, Song Zheyuan couldn't help but feel a little scared.

If the National Defense Forces came two days late, they might not have ended up being much better by Han Fuju. Although they may not have died in battle, at least the troops retreated is also very likely to happen.

The 5th Division and 1st Brigade under Han Fuju's command have basically been killed until now. For example, Li Hanzhang's 74th Division was killed directly. I don't know if there are a hundred people living in the entire 74th Division.

.

There is also the commander of the 81st Division, Zhan Shutang. Now not only is the army left with only two-thirds of the vacancies left, he is also seriously injured and unconscious.

Cao Fulin, the commander of the 29th Division, was seriously injured, and there were only one entire division in the 29th Division. The remaining people were less than one battalion.

Gu Liangmin's 22nd Division has only less than one regiment left until now. Sun Tongxuan's 20th Division is the only unit that has maintained a complete system, but the combined number of the three regiments is no more than two thousand.

Han Fuju was killed by the bombing, and the entire front line suddenly fell into a retreat. Sun Tongxuan and Gu Liangmin tried their best to gather the troops, and then they could barely gather the entire Third Route Army and retreated towards Tianjin.

There are five divisions of the Third Route Army, but now there are all 4,000 people.

"Retreat..." In the end, Qi Mudeng could only sigh and said, "If you want, retreat to the three northeastern provinces. We will reserve the establishment for them, and we will supplement the soldiers and weapons..."

This is also Tu Qianjun's order. As long as it is a team that resists Ri, the National Defense Force will spare no effort to support it.

"Their people can go to the National Defense University of the Three Northeastern provinces to train. The loss of such a battle is too great. The professors at the National Defense University are all born in actual combat. Including our commander-in-chief, they will give lectures. You can't do it recklessly when dealing with Ri himself!"

Qi Mudeng's words made Song Zheyuan a little embarrassed. To be honest, the Twenty-Nine Army had some reckless actions before. But it is changing now.

After the Second Corps arrived, in addition to receiving and defending, it was also responsible for training the officers and soldiers of the 29th Army. All officers walked off the line of fire and received field training. At the same time, they observed the National Defense Forces' operations.

The soldiers also took off the front line and received education from the National Defense Forces, including literacy and military discipline. The originally useless General Staff is also changing towards the National Defense Forces model.

Song Zheyuan felt like he was leading a wolf into the house at first, but when he saw that his power had not changed, and his children were all arranged to go to the three northeastern provinces, he was relieved to pay the money and even some of the troops were withdrawn to the three northeastern provinces to supplement him.

No matter how bad it is, it will not be worse than being with Nanjing, right?! Song Zheyuan's military rank was lieutenant general and was assigned to a small villa. His old wife wrote to say that her son was studying at Northeastern University and was preparing to apply for the National Defense University.

This made Song Zhe feel relieved. When he saw that Long Yun’s sons could be the only one who had learned it. Old Song also thought that his son would inherit his legacy in the future.

Song Zheyuan, who was born in 1885, is now in his fifties, and the battlefield changes rapidly. He fought for a lifetime, just to leave a memory for his descendants?!

When Song Zheyuan made his arrangements, his children became what he was most concerned about. After solving his worries, Old Song naturally didn't mind that his troops had more elements of the National Defense Forces.

On March 5, 1938, Jiang Zhongzheng, Wuhan issued a telegram: Han Fuju, commander-in-chief of the former Third Route Army, was the second-level general as the first-level general. At the same time, he encouraged Tianjin Song Zheyuan's troops to let them continue the war of resistance.

Behind Song Zheyuan, Tang Enbo's troops in Henan have strengthened the collection and reserves of military rations and are ready to evacuate at any time.

"The situation is corrupt..." In the conference room in Wuhan, Chiang Chiang sighed with a telegram: "This Sun Yinting, please see how you can pull him over. If he is allowed to vote in the National Defense Forces, it will be very unfavorable for us!

”

Jiang Zhongzheng's words did not arouse everyone's discussion. How did this thing be discussed?! Why did Han Fuju's heavy mortar regiment disappear?! Didn't this chairman transfer?!

Han Fuju's command is only a heavy mortar regiment that can serve as firepower support. The impact of this transfer on the situation is known to fools.

Why is Song Zheyuan willing to release the National Defense Forces to Tianjin? It’s not that his own equipment is outrageous. The National Defense Forces at least support Song Zheyuan’s artillery and flower mechanisms.

The government has no nonsense. Besides, the Third Route Army is now disabled. If the government had to withdraw its organization, it would have to withdraw its organization. The people will withdraw to the three northeastern provinces, which is the way to maintain the establishment.

Compared with the two, the fool is the one who defected to the government.

He is not as strong as others, and he is petty and can't help but replace all the troops with Huangpu and then turn them into zhongyāng ng troops. The consequence of this practice is that a lot of people are vigilant to the State Government.

For example, now, the news from Dai Li shows that Yan Xishan is secretly trying to contact the National Defense Forces. Yan Laoxi is not a fool. People don’t know about Tang Enbo’s actions in Henan?!

The zhongyāng army is ready to withdraw. If the ri army comes to Shanxi Yan Laoxi, asks himself that he cannot defend himself. For this reason, Yan Laoxi has to go to the National Defense Forces. After all, it is very obvious that those who can fight with the ri army in the entire country are now very obvious.

:Only the National Wehrmacht.

Yan Laoxi has been in the process for so many years, and his vision is not bad. Seeing what the situation is, he will naturally make a choice. Anyway, Wuhan is now unable to take care of himself, so what to do is not to look at Yan Laoxi himself?!

"Chairman, it's not Sun Yinting alone now. In fact, we should say it's a problem with the entire government. Yan Baichuan's actions in Shanxi are already very obvious. I believe Liu Xiang and the others will definitely have ideas."

The one who spoke in the end was Yang Yongtai. This was also a helpless move. Others except him were not good for saying such despicable words at this time. Otherwise, it would have caused Chiang Zhongzheng's anger, which would not be fun.

"What we urgently need now is not to bring them back. It is a refreshing victory, otherwise more and more people will go there. The situation of the government will become more and more isolated. What are the consequences? I don't think I will not say the Chairman.

I know."

Chiang Zheng's face was very ugly. In fact, what Yang Yongtai said was also what he was worried about? But what he had no choice was that his troops were not as capable of fighting as the National Defense Force, which was helpless.

Who doesn’t know that winning a battle will win all kinds of praise?! Who doesn’t know that winning a battle will definitely put yourself on the moral high ground? But the problem is that you can’t win at all!

From Chiang Kai-shek to the entire government, no one thought he could win the army. It was nothing more than that, the Battle of Songhu directly defeated the national government's confidence.

The most elite troops, even tanks and planes, were all swept by Ri himself. In fact, the casualties that were as high as 180,000!

In this case, how can you be confident in fighting with the Ri army?! The Battle of Shanghai is not just a zhongyāng army! It can even be said to be a gathering of all the strongest troops in the entire country except the National Defense Forces.

But it's all like this. How can you give the government confidence to fight the army?!

"What did he say about Li Delin?! Did he do anything?!" Jiang Zhongzheng was silent for a long time and moved the topic away. Everyone sighed in their hearts, but they did not continue the topic after all.

Especially Yang Yongtai, a deep sadness flashed in his eyes. It is not scary to have problems, but what is scary is that he does not have the courage to face his own problems. Even if he is helpless, as long as you make up your mind to face them, the problems will always be

It can be solved.

Unfortunately, the continuous failure of the government and the strong rise of the three northeastern provinces have gradually lost confidence in facing problems. In other words, Chiang Kai-shek has no intention of considering these issues at all.

"There is not much change in Li Delin, and the National Defense Force has sent people there. But Li Delin obviously wants to borrow the National Defense Force to improve the combat effectiveness of his troops, and the infiltration is not very powerful..."

Dai Li, who came to attend the meeting, was silent for a while, and said softly: "But now we can see that the connection between Li Delin's Guangxi faction and the National Defense Forces is obviously closer than that with the National Government..."

When everyone heard this, they smiled even more bitterly. Although this sounds nice, isn’t it actually the point of Li Zongren moving closer to the three eastern provinces?!

In the past, the Guangxi clan was a corner that could not even be seen by the National Government. The National Government had never been able to penetrate and suppress the bigwigs of the Guangxi clan. Now they are actually moving closer to the three eastern provinces. How can this be the situation of the National Government?

When Jiang Zhongzheng and others in Wuhan were silent in the conference room, several troops slowly formed a surround towards Wuhan. Matsui Ishigen, who had a flat head and two big beards, looked at the map under the dim light.

The chief of staff Tian Luoshengwu, who was next to him, said in a deep voice: "Commander, our army has completed the large siege of Wuhan. Just complete the preparations and you can start the war directly!"

"Yo Xi!" Matsui Ishien nodded and said in a deep voice: "This time the Navy suffered a big loss in the Huanghai! Although they did not admit it, as long as anyone with a discerning eye could see it, this is a good opportunity for our army.

!”

"Tian Lu, tell them: I will wipe out the troops of the National Government and capture Chiang Chiang alive!!" Matsui Ishigen slapped the map, and several blood-red arrows on it pointed directly at Wuhan City!
Chapter completed!
