Chapter 785 The Battle of Wuchang (6)(1/2)

Amidst roars, these Japanese soldiers were chopped to the ground. Of course, before rushing to kill them, the men of the 60th Army, who had followed the instructors of the National Defense Forces, first fired them with machine guns.

After making sure that all these people had no ability to resist, they went up with a knife and cut off the heads one by one. This was also a bad habit learned from the instructors of the National Defense Force - killing and beheading.

After clearing away the Japanese troops with expressionless faces, the soldiers of the 60th Army on both sides slowly gathered at the main position.

Lu Han also came here with others at this time. Looking at An Enpu covered in blood, Lu Han fell silent.

"Can you still hold on?!" After a long time, Lu Han said in a hoarse voice to his beloved general. An Enpu laughed when he heard this, lowered his head and wiped the corners of his eyes.

"What can't you hold on to? Don't worry, Commander, I can still charge with my brothers after you give the order!"

An Enpu said with a chuckle, and he puffed up his chest. Lu Han smiled and patted his shoulder gently to express comfort. Then he turned around and faced the 60th soldiers on the battlefield.

The soldiers said solemnly.

"I know everyone is tired and working hard. I just want to say: The enemy is also very tired! The enemy is also working hard!" Standing on the battlefield, Lu Han shouted loudly to the men covered in blood.

"When we left Yunnan, our slogan was to kill the enemy and serve the country! Now, the Japanese are right in front of us! Let me ask you: Can we still fight?!"

"Kill! Kill! Kill!!" Lu Han responded with roars from the bottom of his heart. These men were not just elites carefully selected by Long Yun.

In fact, when they received training from the National Defense Forces, they also received patriotic education from the National Defense Forces.

The patriotic education of the National Defense Forces is very simple. It is to take the pictures collected from everywhere of the Japanese soldiers harming the Chinese people and tell these men that this is the enemy they have to face.

In those pictures, there are photos of newly born children hanging on bayonets. There are also pitiful corpses with their heads chopped off. There are Chinese people who have been shot and there are villages that have been burned down.

But these are not just pictures, they are accompanied by tragic stories. The owners in these stories all died tragically under the butcher knife of the Japanese army.

These photos and stories stimulate these strong-spirited men. They will see these in almost every week's meetings. They will also see the battle reports from the front lines.

They are literate and can read newspapers and records. They train and make themselves strong.

Seeing the brutality of these Japanese people aroused the hatred from the bottom of their hearts. These men have asked for war countless times since the beginning of the war.

Finally, they came to the battlefield in Wuhan. But here, they also lost more than 10,000 brothers who depended on each other for life and death. The remaining people were naturally angry. When the order from the superior was passed down, these people naturally did not care.

Hesitantly do what their instructors taught them - kill and behead!

"Good! You are worthy of being a man of our Yunnan Army! The entire army obeyed the order and marched towards Wuchang City! Kill the enemy!!" Lu Han roared and led the troops. Then they rushed towards Wuchang City where the position was.

At this time, in Wuchang City, Chen Chengzheng, He Yingqin and others, known as the Chairman of the Small Committee, were restless. The Japanese army had broken through three of their lines of defense in succession and was about to approach their current hiding place.

Even though the last regiment of reinforcements was dispatched, there was still no way to stop the Japanese army's violent attack. This time, it seemed that the Japanese army was determined to completely defeat them.

"The current situation is like this. The Japanese army is only more than a mile away from here. Let's see what we should do..." Chen Cheng laid out the map and said to everyone while rubbing his brows.

He was exhausted. The high-intensity work and tremendous pressure during this period made him breathless. Only then did he realize how difficult it was for Jiang Zhongzheng.

Fortunately, this was a life-or-death situation and no one was trying to make trouble with him. Otherwise, he would only have more headaches.

"How far away is the nearest troop from us now?!" He Yingqin is a veteran after all, and the first question he asks is very critical: "We must start preparing for evacuation, and the direction of breakout is naturally towards the nearest troop."

"The nearest unit should be the 60th Army of the Yunnan Army, and the commander is Lu Yongheng." Chen Cheng said to He Yingqin: "The combat effectiveness of the Yunnan Army is still acceptable, but they have just experienced the 38th Division of the Japanese Army.

I'm afraid the losses in the battle will be considerable..."

The implication of Chen Cheng's words was that even if he and Lu Han and others made peace, they might not be able to withstand the Japanese attack. You must know that now all the elites of the Japanese army are attacking directly from the Central Army.

Once it comes over, it will be overwhelming. Not to mention the Yunnan Army, a local force, even the complete Central Army has to avoid its edge.

If you can't avoid it, it will only be the result of the Wuhan defenders.

"What did Shoushan say?!" He Yingqin was silent for a while and said to Chen Cheng: "Can't he think of something?! Every local army in the Yunnan Army can open a gap. Why can't he hold the elite of the Central Army?

An inch of progress?!"

Chen Cheng smiled bitterly and said to He Yingqin: "It's not that Shoushan doesn't want to fight. They just came to report that they had captured three lines of defense of the Japanese army. But the loss was half a tank brigade."

"The Japanese artillery fire was so powerful that it directly knocked out Shoushan's tank unit. Shoushan meant to let us hold on for another day. He would open the defense line as soon as possible..."

"How to support?! The current situation is like this. The Japanese are only one mile away from us! How to fight?!" He Yingqin was furious and shouted at Chen Cheng: "Rhetoric! You tell Shoushan, three hours! I limit him

You must call in within three hours! Otherwise, just wait for us to collect the body!"

With that said, He Yingqin took a deep breath and said in a deep voice to everyone: "Everyone, now is not the time for us to argue. I suggest you contact Lu Yongheng immediately and tell him about our upcoming breakout."

"Arrange the rear troops to block the Japanese attack. Try to buy us time to break out. At the same time, all ministries coordinate and wait for orders to be ready to break out at any time!"

He Yingqin's words made everyone stunned, and then they looked at Chen Cheng who was silent. However, Chen Cheng nodded helplessly, stood up and said in a deep voice: "I agree with the teacher, everyone should go back and prepare..."

Everyone then took the order and dispersed. During this period, Chen Cheng's achievements were obvious to all. At least after Chiang Zhongzheng disappeared, Chen Cheng did not panic, but calmly commanded the various ministries to continue to fight against the Japanese army.

If it weren't for Chen Cheng and Dai Li's close cooperation, perhaps Wuchang City would have been in chaos long ago. But these two people suddenly found a "chairman" to patrol around. They suppressed the Japanese army and allowed the Central Army to resist it.

Japanese attack.

Everyone has been able to support themselves until now. Therefore, after this incident, Chen Cheng's title of "Small Chairman" is well-deserved. At least, everyone in the Huangpu Clan thinks that this Junior Chairman is quite reliable.

In contrast, He Yingqin's reputation has been greatly reduced.

He Yingqin had nothing to do about this. It could only be said that it was a matter of luck. At the beginning, it was difficult for him to seize Chen Cheng's command, otherwise it would cause chaos. And He Yingqin was still hesitant at that time.

But later, when Chen Cheng took command smoothly, it became even more difficult for He Yingqin to seize the command. After all, his life was at stake!

Even when the fighting in China was at its most intense, the land of Europe was not at peace either. Mustache finally extended his hand to Czechoslovakia after countless trials.

In fact, this is just another test by Mustache. He has no ambition to start a war at this time. At this time, what he wants to do is to test the tacit understanding between Britain and France and their bottom line.

In order to fulfill Mustache's instructions, German Foreign Minister Joachim von Ribbentrop kept rushing between Britain and Germany. Of course, Hitler would not stop his military expansion.

In his opinion, the reason why those damn "Gaul cocks" gave in was because "Germany once again had the power to scare them"!

Therefore, he instructed the entire country to "strengthen our strength and make those who try to harm Germany fear! We want to take back the glory that belongs to Germany, and we want to make those damn thieves and thieves pay the price!"

Under the guidance of this idea, the entire Germany began crazy military expansion. Unlike in history, Germany at this time received a large amount of resources from the three eastern provinces and the Soviet Union.

The agreements Trotsky was forced to sign brought a large amount of urgently needed supplies to Germany, including oil, iron ore, industrial raw materials, etc.

The whole of Germany seemed extremely prosperous for a while, and some economists were even studying the foundation of Germany's prosperity.

Just when Mustache and Europe's eyes were attracted to each other, a strange team quietly set off from Kazan and rushed towards Moscow.

There are not many people in this team, just about twenty people. But if you look carefully, you will find that there are more than ten people in this team who have the characteristics of the Anglo-Saxons. The rest are

He has a typical Slavic appearance.

They quietly crossed various defense lines and battlefields, miraculously not suffering any attacks. It was not until the confrontation between Trotsky and Stalin's troops that the Anglo-Saxon-looking people were attacked by another group of Slavs.

Soldiers in military uniforms picked him up.

A few days later, they arrived in Moscow. In the Kremlin, they met Trotsky.

"I want to know why you are here." Trotsky looked at these visitors wearing long coats and said solemnly: "My friends only told me that you are not ordinary ordinary people... I don't know that you capitalists

Why did you come to me?"

But I saw a leading man looking around, and said in a deep voice to Trotsky: "Dear Chairman Trotsky, we are here to represent peace and goodwill. Please don't get me wrong, we are not

To start a war. On the contrary, we hope that the whole of Russia can calm down. Your war has lasted too long..."

"I am the special envoy of the United States Congress and the President, Rupert." The man saluted Trotsky and said softly: "This is the British special envoy Peters, and this is the French special envoy Césaire."

Rupert pointed to the two people beside him and said solemnly to Trotsky: "We come with the wish for peace."

"Imperialism has never been kind-hearted. Don't pretend to be merciful. Please tell me directly what you are here for." Trotsky remained unmoved, his face still cold.

However, several envoys thought it was nothing. Trotsky was famously anti-capitalist. He also advocated "permanent revolution" and "support for global revolution."

It is precisely this that makes European and American countries hate him very much. But now they have no choice but to come to his door for no other reason. They just hope that the Soviet Union can cut off the supply of raw materials to Germany.

Germany's expansion speed has surprised all European countries and the United States, but each country has its own calculations. No one is willing to really take action against Germany.

After all, no one knew how deep the losses and the intensity of the war would be, so after countless secret discussions, a weird plan came out.

This plan was to bring peace to the Soviet Union without the support of revolutions in various places. At the same time, it would cut off the Soviet Union's supply to Germany. They hoped that this would extinguish Germany's ambitions.

In some respects, this is an upgraded version of the appeasement policy. How effective it is is still unknown. However, compared to war, Britain, France and the United States are still willing to try this approach.

The first person they communicated with was Stalin, who was better at communicating than Trotsky. Although Stalin also made Europe and the United States wary, at least he was still willing to communicate with Europe and the United States.

Obviously, the first step was completed by Europe and the United States. Stalin agreed to their proposal, and Europe and the United States were responsible for mediating the government reorganization between him and Trotsky on the premise that they did not support the revolution.

"Chairman Trotsky, you should know by now. Because the war has caused the displacement of more than 40 million Soviet people, and so far at least 4 million people have died in the war. This situation is too cruel. So we

I hope you and Chairman Stalin can stop this war and strive for peace..."

Rupert, the American special envoy, said solemnly to Trotsky, the identities of these special envoys are only known to the cabinet of their country. And their own identities are all affiliated with the intelligence agencies.

"Chairman Trotsky. We are entirely considering the Soviet Union from a humanitarian standpoint. We have already communicated with Chairman Stalin about this. He fully agrees to have a dialogue with you..."

The British envoy Peters took over and said to Trotsky: "We have always believed that you are a kind man with a broad mind. We hope that your mind can bring peace to the Soviet Union..."

The high-sounding words sounded so nice. But in fact, the real idea of ​​Britain, the United States and France was to remove the shadow of Germany in the Soviet Union.

They would provide the arms, and it would be best if Trotsky and Stalin killed each other. But this is obviously impossible at the moment. They had no choice but to do the next best thing and remove the shadow of Germany first.

"Our three countries have reached an agreement. As long as you and Chairman Stalin really enter the peace negotiation process, then our three countries are willing to provide a series of assistance to the Soviet Union." French special envoy Césaire said to Trotsky.

"These include food, funds and loans. And machinery."

Of course, Césaire did not finish his words. These were not all free. The Soviet Union needed to use its own resources in exchange. Germany and Trotsky's deal exchanged a large amount of resources, which were also coveted by Britain, the United States and France.

"Dialogue?! Stalin killed so many of our comrades. I have no way to talk to such a dictator!" Trotsky said coldly to the three of them: "People like him have simply insulted the Soviets!"
