Chapter 276 Chaos Retreat
The Third War Zone regarding retreat was already a mess. With the loss of Kuraku and Songyin, it would inevitably lead to the process of withdrawal plan. The Chinese Command ordered the Third War Zone to be ready to retreat at any time on the basis of insisting on resistance, but insisting on resistance is just for ordinary people to listen to. The real idea must be a complete retreat. Shanghai no longer needs to continue to compete.
The battlefield like a meat grinder is full of blood. The pain of beating the dog is not just something that the Chinese are willing to do, but the Japanese army is also willing to do this. Seeing the Japanese army constantly gathering their troops and retreating west and north, they are chasing them all the way, obviously they don’t understand the truth that the enemy is not chasing.
However, it was really disappointing at this time. Hundreds of Japanese soldiers could chase tens of thousands of soldiers, but they were still running in a panic. It seemed that once they stopped, they would be killed by hundreds of Japanese behind. However, they didn't know that they would leave a regiment of troops, enough to kill these arrogant Japanese, but they didn't. Who would want to stay, they just wanted to run back to Nanjing to take a break. The other thoughts were that there was no Japanese army that could have chased more, but the gap in the Suzhou River was not opened, and the landing troops were also progressing slowly.
The Japanese army, who were about to form an encirclement, were also anxious, so the main purpose of their pursuit was to disrupt their rhythm and make them confused, which eventually led to the retreat plan delaying General Matsui Ishione's strategy for the time being. There were few retreat routes, and they should all retreat step by step. Unfortunately, the Japanese army pursued behind them. Those fearless officers drove away in advance. The team behind them were uncontrollable. How could they not be messed up.
On a certain street, he got out of the way, but it was not my troops who arrived first. A regiment commander shouted at the other regiment commander. If the two were usually polite, they would pass. But at this time, no one would want to retreat. The two of them squeezed around and retreated on the street. More and more soldiers behind began to shout and scold, asking the troops in front to be faster, and faster, but is it useful to call them? The soldiers in front were naturally extremely slow to squeeze in. The soldiers behind were really anxious and angry. The Japanese army was chasing them from behind, and they were still so slow in front of them.
The progress in front was slow, and the Japanese army behind finally arrived a group. Their machine guns were like the judge's pen of the King of Hell. If there were pursuers behind them, the people in front would naturally be faster. I felt hopeless to raise the gun and fight with the Japanese army. The Japanese army was actually a paper tiger. They were not afraid of seeing so many people.
Of course not, but their mission is that. The tough-headed Japanese army soon discovered that although there were many people, there was no morale at all. The Japanese army sent more than a dozen people to chase a main group. The final result was shocking. More than a dozen Japanese troops were in peace, and a regiment killed or even a hundred people. This undoubtedly added great confidence to the Japanese army. They knew that the current opponents had become soft persimmons, and they could pinch them as much as they wanted.
Gu Zhutong's telegram in the third war zone floated like snowflakes. Now it is not a retreat, it is simply a big escape. Many troops did not follow the plan at all. The plan was not very good. Now that they do not follow the plan, the scene can be imagined.
Gu Zhutong said to Lieutenant General Zhang Zhi: Look, look, this is our soldiers and their own people, seeing the Japanese is like a tiger seeing a cat
Lieutenant General Zhang Zhi said: It is already panic now, and I don’t know if it is the spread of Japanese spies. The morale is very low now. If it weren’t for the 318th Division who killed the Japanese division commander two days ago, I think we would have been more passive now.
Chen Cheng said: Chief, there is no way to do this. Look, many generals have already left early. They have no choice but to have the style of a senior general.
Gu Zhutong broke his teacup in anger and said: It's all damn messy. How can I explain to the committee member to let us draw a retreat plan in the third war zone? In the end, it's like this. It's just a fool. Those who leave their posts must be shot afterwards. This group of scums
Chen Cheng said tactfully: Chief, now is not the time to care about them. Now we should think about how to solve these problems.
Zhang Zhizhong said: There is no way. Now our army has too few retreat routes and too many troops. This is because the Japanese army has relatively no concentration of troops. Otherwise, what we see now is not a quarrel between them, but a massacre like a siege by the Japanese army.
Gu Zhutong sighed and said helplessly: It seems that there are really not many ways to solve the problem. If we can retreat before the Japanese army lands, then our morale will not be so low. The possibility of our retreat is still very high.
Lieutenant General Zhang Zhi smiled and said: This is not something that the chief officer can decide, but retreating now is much better than killing all the way after the Japanese landed, at least we are more at ease now.
Chen Cheng said: Everything depends on the results of the 318th Division. I looked at it. The 318th Division was pinching the throats of the north and south. The Japanese army is now progressing slowly by the 318th Division, but every minute of each persistence, it reduces the danger of our retreat plan for one minute.
Gu Zhutong nodded and said: Don’t I know the importance of the 318th Division when they first reminded us, didn’t we discuss it now? Now it seems that the eyes of Commander Wang Mingyu are accurate. The Japanese army has indeed landed. If we move a little two days in advance, we would not have fallen to this realm now.
Zhang Zhizhong shook his head and said: Since the mistake has been made, we should seek solutions. The 318th Division has successfully persisted for two days. Although we just received the news that they lost Songyin Town and Cang Town, from their current location, they can persist for at least two to three days. But I don’t know how many people we have withdrawn now.
Gu Zhutong said bitterly: According to the current situation, it is almost a quarter of the retreat now.
Chen Cheng whispered: According to our plan, the chief officer should be almost half now, even if
Gu Zhutongdao: Our plan is naturally like this, but the plan cannot keep up with the rapid changes. The factors we considered were still too few. Now everyone is thinking about escaping back to Nanjing, and there is no mind to fight. Once they have no mind to fight, they are scrambling for escape. The roads are crowded, and they will be dereliction of duty, etc., which leads to only breaking out a quarter of the encirclement. In the process of retreat, our army has lost about 5,000 troops. The Japanese army is completely catching mice.
Zhang Zhizhong shook his head and said: "The defeated army, even if such an army is a group of unarmed people wearing Japanese clothes, they can run out of three miles in fear."
Gu Zhutong and Chen Cheng looked at each other and said: The retreat plan must be the same. Now I am passing on orders, who blocks traffic, kills who abandons the troops and flees, kills who causes friction and fights, kills who retreats in advance
Zhang Zhizhong also nodded in agreement and said: I have already understood the meaning of the chief officer. In extraordinary times, extraordinary means should be used. I agree with the chief officer’s order.
Chen Cheng said: I think it is feasible, and Xue Yue's troops retreated in the end, I am just afraid of the commissioner's seat.
Gu Zhutong no longer cared about so much and said: Everything must be retreated as planned, but Xue Yue can come to the superiors first, and then with the superiors to retreat to Nanjing
Chen Cheng nodded and said: This is so good, can we report the situation to the committee in advance
Gu Zhutong shook his head and said: There are too many favors, and no one can afford to offend now, but I will naturally bear all the consequences at that time. The main task now is to complete the tasks assigned by the committee member. Otherwise, even if there are so many favors outside, I may not be able to use them at that time.
Everyone nodded in agreement. The retreat work on the Songhu battlefield is still in full swing, but there is still no obvious improvement. Many people's idea is to stay and die. The military law dealt with it. Now it is so chaotic that those law enforcement teams who find whom can squeeze through will win and can continue to survive. Moreover, the law enforcement team is also composed of people. Many people have interpersonal relationships, which has caused the chaos in the scene to not improve.
The entire Songhu battlefield seemed to be staged one scene after another, and it could be made into a movie about Songhu's escape. The weakness of human nature was fully reflected at this moment. The people who used to call brothers can now retreat first and turn their eyes into enemies. The selfishness of the world is fully displayed in front of the world. Is there any right or wrong? They are the same people who pursue the right to survive.
The entire retreat can be described as chaotic, but looking at the retreat or defeat in the entire history, it is almost the same. The arrogance of the Japanese army is based on this kind of loose sand. Otherwise, how could the Japanese army's military strength cause such great chaos? No one can blame others for all the problems. If you want to blame, you can only blame your own weaknesses that others can easily grasp.
: It's so embarrassing. I thought the flowers were blooming, but in the end I continued to ask for some flowers. Everyone
