The Japanese army was not a soft persimmon. They were caught off guard by the 60th Army in the initial battle, but they quickly reacted. When their support squadron arrived, they gradually stabilized their position.

At this time, a regiment of the 60th Army also came up to provide support. The two sides fought together so that the soldiers of the 60th Army on the position finally stopped their decline.

But after the Japanese army came to their senses, their assassination training showed their advantages. They formed their own small formations in twos and threes to resist the attack of the 60th Army.

It has to be said that this back-to-back method of reducing blind spots is very useful. For a while, the soldiers of the 60th Army were at a loss as to what to do. The bullets for their submachine guns and shell guns were almost exhausted. The combination of the broadsword team and the short sword team also fought too hard.

After a while, I became a little out of breath.

"Let the troops withdraw..." Lu Han saw the movements of the Japanese troops through the telescope, and sighed: "If we continue to fight like this, we will never be able to break through. Let the brothers withdraw with the wounded..."

"Yes" the adjutant responded and went down to deliver the order.

The soldiers of the 60th Army on the position received the order to retreat, and unwillingly helped their comrades up and slowly retreated back. The shell guns and submachine guns added up and kept firing to cover the retreat of their own troops.

Although the Japanese army wanted to pursue them, unfortunately they were powerless. The two regiments rushed up, and the melee just now resulted in the Japanese army being caught off guard and suffering heavy losses.

Although they are still able to fight, they are unable to continue to pursue them. Moreover, the shell guns and submachine guns of the 60th Army are suppressing fire. If they rush forward, they may not be able to pursue them, or they may just die.

Therefore, they could only watch helplessly as the troops of the 60th Army withdrew from their positions and cried out in vain.

"Immediately find out who this unit belongs to." Lieutenant General Fujii Yoji, the commander of the 38th Division in the command post, shouted to the adjutant beside him: "These troops are obviously not ordinary troops, even they

It’s probably not the Central Military Army.”

The 38th Division also participated in the Battle of Songhu, so it is very familiar with the combat effectiveness of the Central Army. Moreover, in terms of tactics and combat methods, there are obvious differences between this unit and the Central Army.

"Tell the Intelligence Department that I need all the information on this unit."

Adjutant "Hai" responded and hurried down to send the report. Now the Japanese Army's China War Command is located in Shanghai, and most of the institutions are also located in Shanghai to facilitate various tasks.

The person currently responsible for this work full-time is the former head of the China Section of the General Staff Headquarters who was specially dispatched by the Japanese Military Ministry.

After receiving the telegram from the front-line troops, the translator did not dare to neglect and quickly found Yingzuo Zhenzhao with the telegram.

"What's going on? Let someone from the Southwest Information Division come over. We have to deal with this matter." Yingzuo Zhenzhao frowned and said in a deep voice.

"Hai," the adjutant next to him responded loudly, and then went down to look for it. The translator bowed to Kage Sasaki and slowly exited the headquarters.

After a while, there was a knock on the door, and a short, fat man wiped the sweat from his face and followed Yingzuo Zhenzhao's adjutant into the office.

"Colonel Yingzuo, I know the situation of this army. But I didn't expect that they would go to save Wuhan..." The short and fat man bowed to Yingzuo Zhenzhao.

"This unit is the 60th Army under the Yunnan warlord Long Yun. Long Yun is deeply involved with the National Defense Forces. Originally, his subordinates thought they would be happy to see the national government in Wuhan be annihilated..."

"Don't talk so much nonsense to me. I just need to know the number, number, officers and equipment of this unit." Kage Sasaki said sharply to the short fat man: "Now Mr. Fujii Division Commander is asking me, if

I can’t give you an answer, so how should we deal with it?”

"Hai," the short and fat man responded loudly, and then told all he knew about the situation of the 60th Army without daring to talk nonsense.

"Opposite the 38th Division now is the 60th Army of the National Revolutionary Army. It is affiliated to the Longyun Division of Yunnan and has three infantry divisions with Lu Han as its commander. They are: the 182nd Division,

Division Commander An Enpu, 183rd Division, Division Commander Gao Yinhuai, 184th Division, Division Commander Zhang Chong."

"In addition to the three infantry divisions, the military headquarters is also directly under the jurisdiction of an artillery regiment and a battlefield service regiment. The entire army has about 40,000 people. After the establishment of the army, a swearing-in ceremony was held in Wujiaba, the southern suburb of Kunming, on the Double Ninth Festival of the lunar calendar. It went on several expeditions.

Arrived in Xianning in the Year of the Rat..."

Kage Sasaki nodded and said to the short fat man: "Yo Suibu-san is really very attentive. I am very satisfied. Please immediately send this situation to His Excellency, Captain Fujii, and send your judgment at the same time.

"

"Hai, thank you for the cultivation," the short fat man Hattoriha said loudly and excitedly. He knew that it was Kagesa Sadaaki who asked him to show his face in front of Fujii.

After the excited Hattori went down, he sent all his guesses and the situation of the 60th Army to Fujii Yoji.

In Xianning, Fujii Yoji was a little surprised by the speed of Shanghai's response. After taking the telegram and reading it, he suddenly smiled and said to the two brigade commanders beside him.

"No wonder this unit is so good at fighting. They are involved with the Tiger National Defense Force. According to our intelligence, the former commander of this unit, Long Yun, even sent his two sons to study in the three northeastern provinces."

As he spoke, he handed the telegram to the adjutant beside him. Then the adjutant handed the telegram to the two brigade commanders standing in front of Fujii.

"No wonder the fighting style of this unit is so different from that of the Central Army. I didn't expect that we would fight against the National Defense Forces so soon." Fujii Yoji looked at the two brigade commanders and said solemnly.

"The combat effectiveness of the National Defense Forces is indeed well-deserved. They defeated the Empire's Kwantung Army and even withstood the Empire's attack in North Korea. And that tiger was even considered by us to be the number one enemy in conquering China."

Lieutenant General Fujii Yoji stood up and said in a deep voice to the crowd: "Gentlemen, now is the time for us to prove our courage and loyalty. This army will never be able to take a step beyond Xianning. We

The mission is to prevent them from going to Wuhan, stop them or even annihilate them here."

"Hai" the two brigade commanders saluted Lieutenant General Fujii Yoji and responded loudly.

At this time, the rumbling sound of artillery outside the city sounded again. The 60th Army launched another attack on the Japanese positions outside Xianning City. With the support and reorganization of the National Defense Forces, the entire equipment of the 60th Army basically moved closer to the National Defense Forces.

.

Thirty Liao-made 75mm mountain artillery bombarded the Japanese positions indiscriminately, raising clouds of smoke and dust. Listening to the sound of the cannons, Fujii Yoji ran to the observation port and raised his binoculars to look.

The battlefield was full of smoke, and Fujii Yoji knew in his heart that this might be the biggest tough battle since he came to China.

Fengyao in the early morning, in Federica's small yard covered with happy words.

Tu Qianjun slowly opened his eyes, smiled slightly at Federica who was sleeping like a kitten next to him. Then he stood up, put on the military uniform, and quietly walked out of the room without making a sound.

Tu Qianjun is not the first brother. In fact, he has a lot of contact with women. Not getting married does not mean abstinence. People have sex. The more suppressed they are, the more powerful they will explode. It is better to relax in time.

This is the principle of relaxation and relaxation. When walking around the world, it is definitely impossible for women to live without it. Tu Laohu has experienced all kinds of tension in his previous life, and when he relaxes, he also likes to go to bars to find those mutually pleasurable moods.

However, when he came to the world in this life, he had too many things to worry about. When World War II broke out, the Japanese attack weighed on his mind like a mountain. He was always in fear.

Why did he have these thoughts? That's why he didn't play with them. As his status increased, he needed to set an example. Therefore, there was no way to give himself a chance to indulge.

Fortunately, he was a martial arts practitioner, and what he was originally talking about was refining qi and transforming essence. After a few more punches, he became weaker.

When Tu Qianjun walked out of the room, he noticed the scent of crows in the darkness of the yard. Tu Qianjun couldn't help but smile bitterly. It seemed that Su Zongzhe, Wang Yajiao and his father were not worried about their own safety, so they sent the crows to him.

Coming.

Generally speaking, Crow can be mobilized in Fengyao City only with the signatures of Tu Qianjun himself, Su Zongzhe, and Wang Yajiao. For general transfer, the signatures of either Tu Qianjun, Wang, or Su are required.

confirm.

My father has exceeded his authority, but it is not surprising. For his own safety, it is not surprising that the old man is so stupid. In fact, in addition to crows, there are also mountain guard dogs here.

It may seem like a simple small courtyard, but in fact it is full of murderous potential. If someone wants to enter this small courtyard, they may be targeted hundreds of meters away. If something is wrong, various attacks will follow.

Come.

The most elite snipers among the crows and mountain dogs were lurking in high-rise buildings everywhere. Under the crossfire, anyone who tried to harm Tu Qianjun would not be able to get close to this small courtyard.

After walking around the yard, the guards notified Su Zongzhe and others to come in for a meeting.

Then Tu Qianjun went directly to his office. After arriving at the office, Tu Qianjun tidied up and then went to the conference room. In the conference room, the various army commanders and Su Zongzhe had been waiting for a long time.

Tu Qianjun looked at the crowd and smiled slightly, and said softly: "Is everyone ready?"

The crowd stood up with a roar and shouted in unison to Tu Qianjun: "Ready!"

"It is good to electrify the whole country. The National Defense Forces have entered the border to fight the war. Except for the Korean War Zone, the first, third, fourth regiments and all the troops directly under the headquarters have all left the border." Tu Qianjun raised his head and took a deep breath.

He had waited too long this day, almost waiting until he was rusty. But he told himself countless times that he had to wait and develop quietly and silently.

The foundations of the three eastern provinces are really far different from those of Japan. The final result of reluctantly participating in the war was not much better. In World War II, we said we won, but in fact it was not us who achieved the real victory.

It was the Soviet Union and the United States that won the victory. Even when Japan surrendered, they still occupied a large area of ​​our land. It can be said that Japan was defeated in the battle against China.

Even though our battle against the Japanese army was so brutal, it was an invincible victory. The main force of the Japanese army was annihilated by the US military during the Pacific War. The remaining Kwantung Army was drowned under the sea of ​​Soviet tanks.

What did we do? Even though the losses were so great, even though those soldiers fought bravely, in fact we didn't make many effective attacks. We just accepted the surrender after that.

This is not nonsense. According to research on the Anti-Japanese War, this war resulted in more than 3.22 million military casualties, and the entire Chinese civilian casualties exceeded 36 million.

What about the Japanese army? In the entire Pacific War, their number of casualties was 950,000. But please remember: only more than 300,000 of them died in China. In other words, we paid a huge price

But what we still got was that the country was occupied by the enemy and the main force of the enemy was not wiped out.

What Tu Qianjun wanted was not that. What he wanted was for China to have its status elevated after the war. What he wanted was to be justified and to stand straight as one of the five permanent members of the United Nations.

To stand tall and straight, you need the support of excellent records.

I don't want a miserable victory, I want a big victory, I want to drink in Tokyo Bay, I want to completely break our backbones. So, Tu Qianjun was getting ready, chasing after little by little.

He worked hard and kept integrating. It was for this war, and now it was finally time to test his results. Taking a deep breath, Tu Qianjun looked at the crowd and said in a deep voice.

"Since the end of the Qing Dynasty, our Chinese nation has been discriminated against, humiliated, occupied, and manipulated. This is a shame for us soldiers, and a shame that the entire China and the entire Chinese nation cannot forget."

Looking at these three eastern provinces, the important generals of the National Defense Force, Tu Qianjun, took a deep breath: "If any country or nation wants to gain a place in this world, war is inevitable."

"This battle is related to the fate of our Chinese nation. If we win, we will have hope for national rejuvenation. If we lose, we will sink into the abyss." Tu Qianjun looked at the crowd and said word by word: "The entire three eastern provinces, the entire National Defense Force, we have been preparing for so long, and we feel aggrieved.

I have been working for so long just for this moment.”

"Tell the brothers to kill the enemy and serve the country. I personally took them into the country. I held the gun tightly and sharpened the knife. Don't let me lose face when you kill Jizi. Those lying brothers in the Martyrs Cemetery are watching us."

"Yes" the response from the crowd was like roaring thunder. It was resounded throughout the headquarters, and all the officers and staff members had tears in their eyes downstairs.

March 14, 1938, nine o'clock in the morning.

The National Defense Forces Headquarters of the Three Northeastern Provinces and the General Staff Headquarters of the National Defense Forces of the Three Northeastern Provinces are energizing the world. The National Defense Forces of the three Northeastern Provinces will be fully cleared from now on. All Japanese troops in the Customs will be released.

On the same day, Long Yun of Yunnan, Liu Wenhui of Xikang, Yang Zengxin of Sui N Jiang, Yang Hucheng and Zhang Xueliang of Shaanxi, etc. all called up their support and expressed their support to the National Defense Forces in the war against Japan. All were headed by the National Defense Forces Headquarters and the National Defense Forces General Staff Headquarters.

These electrifications were like thunder that directly broke the already tense situation. At the beginning, although war was declared on Japan, there was no clear intention to send troops into the pass.
To be continued...
