Chapter 282 General Xue Yue
Xue Yue has never seen Wang Mingyu, but Xue Yue's appreciation of Wang Mingyu has never stopped. Instead, it has become more and more powerful. Xue Yue, who is already forty-one years old, has never seen a legendary figure like Wang Mingyu since he was born. Xue Yue has a lot of experience in fighting. Later generations also said that the God of War in Anti-Japanese War was naturally a little proud. But now Xue Yue feels that comparing with Wang Mingyu, he is just better than ordinary people.
Xue Yue's troops were fighting with the Japanese army on the south bank of Suzhou River. Their purpose was not to fight head-on with the Japanese 9th Division, but to form a pincer attack with the 318th Division on the north bank of Suzhou River, intending to let the Japanese army retreat so that their troops could successfully cross the Suzhou River.
Although the Japanese army knew the strategic intentions of the Chinese army, they were helpless. After all, their current position was really embarrassing. Ji Jialiangsui almost pulled his sword and rushed forward. He was really depressed. He originally thought that his 9th Division had an overwhelming advantage, but he didn't expect that he would be merciless in the blink of an eye. He was unwilling to accept it, but he could do nothing about it.
Xue Yue's troops quickly crossed the position on the north bank of Suzhou River, and now the position on the Suzhou River was fully handed over to Xue Yue's position guarded by Wang Mingyu at this point. The Hangzhou Bay blocking positions collapsed. Xue Yue's defenders lasted for less than two days, and the Japanese army opened the entire line to form a united encirclement for Shanghai.
When General Xue Yue saw Wang Mingyu, he felt that he was already old. Isn’t it? Although Wang Mingyu was twenty-four or five years old, he was already a lieutenant general. General Xue Yue not only sighed: It’s great to be young.
Wang Mingyu was also looking at Xue Yue with a smile. This Xue Yue can be said to be one of the few respected people he respected in the Kuomintang army. Although Xue Yue participated in the encirclement and suppression of the Workers and Peasants' Red Army, he was just ordered by Chairman Jiang. What really made Wang Mingyu admire was General Xue Yue's life.
General Xue Yue can be said to have fought for the independence and liberation of the nation for eight years and made great achievements. Looking at the entire War of Resistance Against Japan, Xue Yue was the Chinese general who annihilated the most Japanese troops. He annihilated more than 100,000 Japanese troops in three battles in Changsha. Of course, Xue Yue didn't know how he would go in the future at this time. It was basically the situation. It was just Wang Mingyu knew that if it were not for his arrival, perhaps General Xue Yue would be the general who wiped out the most Japanese troops in the history of the War of Resistance Against Japan. Even if he arrived, General Xue Yue would not change.
Without talking about the issues between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, General Xue Yue's life is definitely worthy of recognition, so Wang Mingyu is quite polite to General Xue Yue. Wang Mingyu rushed forward quickly and held General Xue Yue's hand heavily and said: Commander-in-Chief Xue, long-term reverence
Xue Yue smiled slightly and stretched out his hand and said: General Wang is really awesome. When I see Wang Mingyu, I find myself old. Now it seems that it is time for someone to take over the banner of the War of Resistance Against Japan.
Wang Mingyu also smiled and shook his head and said: Commander-in-Chief Xue is so proud of his love, Wang is ashamed. I am well-known for Commander-in-Chief Xue's name. Now that we can meet on the battlefield of the Anti-Japanese War, it is also a kind of fate.
Xue Yue nodded and said: The situation is very serious now, but General Wang's 318th Division has achieved great successes many times. The strength of General Wang in severely damaged the Japanese army has been recognized by many people. We are also the ones who have shook the flag and shouted for General Wang.
After saying that, the two of them laughed at the same time. After a while, Xue Yue asked: Why did General Wang give up the defense of the southern line so easily? Now the entire Third War Zone and the Chairman's side are very troublesome.
Wang Mingyu said helplessly: Commander-in-Chief Xue may have also seen that the only purpose of blocking the Japanese army is to preserve our Chinese national defense power. If so, no matter how great Mingyu sacrificed, it would be understandable. But now the principal's order is that the remaining troops will defend Shanghai to the death.
Xue Yue saw Wang Mingyu so frankly and said: Although he shouldn't be arguing about the leader, I have to say that the Chairman is a little confused about this matter. I guess Mingyu, you can see that the Chairman still wants to pin his hopes on the illusory League of Nations. Alas, General Xue Yue has changed General Wang to Mingyu, and instantly brought the relationship between the two closer.
Wang Mingyu could naturally hear Xue Yue's kindness, saying: Commander-in-Chief Xue doesn't dislike me, I asked Commander-in-Chief Xue to call Commander-in-Chief Xue. Although Wang Mingyu is preparing to join here, he is not opposed to getting along with Xue Yue.
Xue Yue smiled and said: If Mingyu, you don’t dislike me, I will be your elder brother in the future. If there is anything that a elder brother can do, I will never refuse. Xue Yue himself has the intention of making friends, and the two basically hit it off.
Wang Mingyu sincerely called Brother Xue, and Xue Yue nodded and said: Good brother
Wang Mingyu said to Xue Yue: Now that the Chairman's order has come, maybe Brother Xue has also seen it. The battlefield in Songhu has ended here. Now everything we have to prepare for Nanjing. The Japanese army's ambitions will definitely not be their ultimate goal. Although they seem to say that they will not attack Nanjing now, but not attacking today does not mean that they will not attack tomorrow.
Xue Yue said: Brother is right. Instead of giving the initiative to others, it is better to hold it in your own hands. The chairman personally ordered me to stay in this area. Perhaps this is also the case.
Wang Mingyu said: The current situation of the War of Resistance in China is not optimistic. The overall strength of the Japanese army is far away from our country. Now there is only space for time. The long-term war of attrition with the Japanese army is the fundamental
Xue Yue nodded and said: Mao Zedong over there is also this theory. Even Mr. Baili from our party also advocates this theory, but it is difficult to do it. The Chairman hopes to rely on large-scale wars to consume the strength of the Japanese army, but he doesn't know that the Japanese army hopes to use war to support the war, and in the end it will still be a waste.
Wang Mingyu smiled and said: The theory of protracted war is feasible, even if it is put into practical actions, it is still feasible. Brother Xue, have you ever thought about it? Why are they repeatedly surrounded and suppressed by the chairman and immortalized? It is not how powerful they are, but that they are typical space for time. They can survive, and we can also survive. The strength of our army and the Japanese army is very different. Even if my 318th Division faces the Japanese army head-on, I guess it won't be able to get it. I am not praising my 318th Division. It is indeed better than the general overall.
Xue Yue smiled and said: It's more than just a little better than that. If we all had the combat power of the 318th Division, the Japanese army would have fought back long ago. But now, you only have one 318th Division in China, and it's a pity to fight less and less.
Wang Mingyu shook his head helplessly and said: Brother Xue, it is time for war now. It will take at least half a year to train a unit. If you want to build another unit like the 318th Division, it will be difficult to achieve results in a short period of time. Even the current 318th Division is uneven.
Xue Yue nodded and said: Brother, what are your plans in the future
Wang Mingyu said: Of course, it is to defend Nanjing. I will go to Jiangyin to block the Japanese army next stop. Now our 318th Division is a free agent, but anyway, the Japanese will definitely be indispensable if we stay in the place.
Xue Yue smiled and said: The relationship is good, and I also want to deploy defenses in the Suxi-Xi-Chang area. Since you have you deploy defenses in the Jiangyin line, and adding Commander-in-Chief Liu, I feel completely relieved in that area.
Wang Mingyu said: Don't worry, Brother Xue, I will do my best to block the Japanese army.
Xue Yue shook his head and said: Everything has reached an irreversible point. First of all, we must save your life. This is my elder brother’s advice to you. The 318th Division was brought out by you. Even if the position is lost, it is definitely not your fault. Instead of dying with the Japanese army, it is better to keep some strength and strike the Japanese Army Chairman’s words. People will lose people, and people will lose both.
Wang Mingyu nodded and said: I understand, Brother Xue, let’s part here. In the future, Mingyu will serve as a banquet for Brother Xue. I hope Brother Xue will not reject Mingyu.
Xue Yue didn't care and said: Why are you brother, I'm such a person? Haha, of course he doesn't know what Wang Mingyu means. Wang Mingyu naturally waited for the banquet for Xue Yue to see if he could instigate Xue Yue. Although it was extremely difficult, Wang Mingyu was still willing to give it a try.
Wang Mingyu said goodbye to Xue Yue and headed straight to the next stop. What Ji Jialiangfu didn't know about the Suzhou River area had been replaced by Xue Yue's group army. At this time, Ji Jialiangfu watched Xue Yue's troops enter north of Suzhou River and were helpless and were losing his temper. Fortunately, he heard the victory sound from the southern line troops. The entire southern line had been opened. Next, it depends on whether Ji Jialiangfu could open the road to the northern line.
Ji Jialiangfu naturally would not give up his control of the Suzhou River. Now he felt that the 318th Division was already shaking. At this time, he only needed to increase his strength to open the line. However, another powerful Chinese army entered the north bank of the Suzhou River. The difficulty can be imagined. However, he did not know that the defense on the north bank of the Suzhou River had been reduced at this time, and his difficulty had also been reduced a lot.
