"I, Ren Dehai, have never ......escaped fighting since I joined the army," Ren Dehai looked at Lu Wenshan and said in a deep voice: "When I followed the division commander, whether it was to suppress bandits or fight with the Beiyang Army, I never retreated!" ”

"Now, do you want me to leave the division commander and go alone?! I can't do it!! In the end, Ren Dehai's words almost burst out of his throat!

Lu Wenshan listened to Ren Dehai's words and couldn't help but fall into silence. Indeed, in the entire 52nd Division, the other two regiments had the experience of retreating, but Ren Dehai's 89th Regiment had never retreated only to cover it!

Attacking fortifications has always been Ren Dehai's 89th Regiment as the vanguard! Retreat, it has always been Ren Dehai of the 89th Regiment as the rearguard!

His former classmates from Nanjing Mansion came to poach, but Ren Dehai was not moved! Even though he was downsized from a division commander to a regiment commander, he never thought about leaving Lu Xingrong.

And now, Lu Xingrong actually wants him to leave with his troops, how could he leave so easily?!

"Hanxue, we are also old buddies......" Lu Wenshan was silent for a while before he said to Ren Dehai: "You don't know the current situation, the division commander is planning to die on the edge of the Min River!" ”

"What he is doing is for the breath of all our Minjiang disciples......" Looking at Ren Dehai, Lu Wenshan said slowly: "But he doesn't want to see the 52nd Division disappear like this, this 52nd Division was brought out by him!" Are you willing to watch our 52nd Division just disappear?! ”

Ren Dehai stopped talking, intellectually speaking, he knew that Lu Xingrong and Lu Wenshan's words were right. But emotionally, he couldn't accept it. Ren Dehai has always thought that he can die in battle! But you can't be a deserter!

asked him to let Dehai leave Lu Xingrong and withdraw like this, which completely violated his idea of letting Dehai Shi die as a confidant. Yes, this is what he struggles with the most.

This entanglement of reason and emotion made him hesitate to withdraw or not. even forced Lu Xingrong to be sent by Lu Wenshan to urge Ren Dehai to withdraw quickly!

"Boom! Rumble! Boom ......" was just as the two were talking, and the Japanese artillery bombardment came again! The two veterans, who had already experienced countless scenes of Japanese shelling, ran all the way into the anti-artillery hole without hurrying.

At this time, more than three brigades of the Japanese cavalry troops that had occupied Fuzhou City were constantly killing the rear of the 52nd Division one after another! Their purpose is simple. Cut off and completely surround the 52nd Division!

Then cooperate with the main force to completely annihilate the 52nd Division on the Min River!

However, this intention is obviously not easy to achieve now, and they encounter landmines, 107 tiger roars, and sniper rifles along the way...... And so on in all sorts of ways!

There are many mountains in Fujian, but the cavalry troops can only gallop along the main road. If you go around into the mountains and forests. There are many roads that basic war horses can't walk!

So, although they gritted their teeth in hatred for this attack, they were helpless.

The crows, who were accustomed to wandering in the deep mountains and old forests, had already figured out where the war horses were easy to walk and where it was convenient for people to walk with the help of red. Where is the shortcut, and where is the best place to ambush.

This unequal understanding of the terrain caused the Japanese army to be restrained all the way on the march! It took four hours out of Fuzhou City, and so far it had only marched fifty miles.

You know, this is a cavalry unit! It took four hours to march fifty miles. That's a very slow speed. It's not that they don't want to be fast, it's that all kinds of harassment and attacks are endless along the way!

A moment is the bombardment of 107 tigers, or the explosion of a chain of mines! Otherwise, it's an irregular trap! Basically, they never had peace! Each attack would cause the troops to pause for a while and not continue the march until they were sure they were okay.

Under the fear, the speed of the march can be imagined.

At this time, Lu Xingrong pinched a telegram from the three eastern provinces, and his face was complicated.

This telegram was sent to him by Tu Qianjun, Commander-in-Chief of the Wehrmacht, which said:

Guangzong My Brother Dajian:

It was learned that the Japanese army had captured Fuzhou. My brother is very anxious! Brother must not be useful, the artillery fire of the enemy and the Japanese army!

Now the fall of Fujian is a foregone conclusion, and my brother should keep his useful body in the hope of the future. Brother Yu was briefly communicated with the leaders of the Red Brothers. His organization agreed to send his army to support and save his brother from breaking through the siege.

The posture of the national government makes people's teeth cold. My brother has no hope, and only those who are willing to resist the enemy are the hope of my brother!

Yes, my brother implored my brother not to be impulsive! When you keep your useful body, you will kill the enemy with your brother in the future! Day by day, I will come out of China, and return my hope of a great country!

Brother in Manchuria, wait for the arrival of brother!

Brother Tu Qianjun, 24th year of the Republic of China

Lu Xingrong pinched the telegram and couldn't say a word. My family knows my own business. He, Lu Xingrong, knew that he and the red were definitely as deep as the sea!

What Lu Xingrong didn't expect was that at this time, Red actually agreed to let his troops come to the rescue. Even if he didn't see it, Lu Xingrong could imagine how many quarrels and discussions he had experienced in the middle.

If it was the red troops fighting the Japanese army now, Lu Xingrong asked if he would come to support?! After thinking about it for a long time, he came to the conclusion that the odds were very small!

Even to put it bluntly, it's already good not to stab you in the back. Not to mention support.

Between Lu Xingrong and Red. The red troops were attacked by Lu Xingrong. And Lu Xingrong's troops were directly defeated by the red color several times, and even had the experience of the entire division being almost disabled.

In such a situation, the hatred between the two sides is not insignificant!

Just when Lu Xingrong sighed with emotion, there was a sound outside the command headquarters, "Boom! Rumble!! Boom ......"! Lu Xingrong knew that this was a prelude to the Japanese attack.

Usually after the shelling is over, the Japanese launch a large-scale attack. But what he didn't know was that this time the Japanese army chose to attack with all their might!

Due to the occupation of the tidal flat position, the Japanese army continued to transport troops to the position! Now the Japanese troops on the tidal flat positions have exceeded two wings!

"Tell them that the division commander is already impatient with their delays...... Ichiro Yamashato put down his binoculars and said in a deep voice to the adjutant beside him: "Our cavalry support is blocked, which means that now the Shina troops are trying to rescue this army!" ”

"What we have to do now is to completely annihilate this force before the reinforcements from China arrive!" Ichiro Yamazato turned around and said in a deep voice to the adjutant: "Just now, His Excellency the division commander has forwarded the order from the military headquarters, and we don't have time to delay now!" It is necessary to directly destroy this unit and completely empty the formed units in Fujian. This is the completion of our strategic goal in this war! ”

Ichiro Yamazato's adjutant "Sha~Sha~Sha......" recorded the order, and then handed the record book to Ichiro Yamazato. After receiving the confirmation, he gave a military salute and went down to deliver the order.

Then. Major General Ichiro Yamanzato raised his binoculars again and looked coldly at the position of the 52nd Division in the distance! Actually, Ichiro Yamashato has been thinking about what kind of unit will come to the rescue of the 52nd Division?!

The troops of the Nanking State Government?! This is absolutely impossible, and from the time of the Battle of Jinan, the Japanese military headquarters judged that the probability of the Nanjing government daring to confront the Japanese army was really very small.

Even the Shanghai Incident and 918 confirmed this view, and the troops of the Nanjing government did not stick to the battlefield. The 19th Route Army was subordinate to the Cantonese system. Although Zhang Zhizhong came, he was more inclined to peace talks.

The entire military department, and even the whole of Japan, regarded the Wehrmacht units in Manchuria as the greatest enemy! And the Nanjing State Mansion?! There was even a certain army general who privately contemptuously thought that he could sweep them away in three months!

And this battle, in fact, is also a kind of test for the Nanjing government. Fujian and Manchuria are separated by thousands of mountains and rivers, and it is naturally impossible for them to come to their aid. The territory of the Nanjing State Mansion is very close to here.

Yes, the military department also wants to see what attitude the Nanjing government will have if the war really breaks out? !

As expected, in the choice of fighting the Japanese army and recovering the red, Mr. Jiang Zhongzheng of the Nanjing government undoubtedly chose to pursue the red.

The deciphered telegram sent by the Nanjing side even revealed that the 52nd Division on the opposite side was simply acting on its own. The Nanking side did not give an order for them to fight the Japanese.

But according to intelligence and analysis. The Wehrmacht, on the part, definitely had a secret connection with the 52nd Division. Otherwise, at the beginning of the Japanese offensive, various guerrilla units would have appeared. Even at the time of landing, it was blocked.

After analyzing the methods and methods of these operations, it was concluded that this should be an elite detachment subordinate to the Wehrmacht. This unit has appeared in North Korea many times and harassed the North Korean garrison.

Such an elite unit was actually sent to Fujian, and no one would believe that the 52nd Division and the National Defense Force had no direct contact.

"Assault!!" After the shelling ended, there was a strange roar from the tidal flat positions of the Japanese army! Then I saw countless Japanese soldiers jumping out of the trenches and killing the position of the 52nd Division......

At this moment, Tu Sanpao stared at a few points on the map with a calm face. He already knew from the telegram sent by Mukden that the Japanese army had captured Fuzhou. Cavalry units were used.

Fools know that the plan of the Japanese army now must be to use cavalry to block the rear road, and then attack from the front and back to swallow the 52nd Division directly! And now the 52nd Division is trapped in the position, and there are not many soldiers in hand, and they are beaten by people with their chests!

If you withdraw. There is no doubt that they will be chased by the Japanese army! And other people's cavalry will run slower on four legs than you on two legs?! That's looking for death!

But if you don't withdraw, you're waiting for death! Although the Wehrmacht detachment was now holding back the Japanese cavalry, all that could be done was delay. Sooner or later, people will have to surround it, and then the 52nd Division will be surrounded and annihilated!

The army made a good arrangement, allowing the red troops to form a second-line, third-line and other positions to meet the retreating 52nd Division. Then the second-line troops withdrew again, and gradually withdrew into the mountains and forests.

Taking advantage of Fujian's mountainous area, the Japanese cavalry that entered the woods could not give full play to their advantages. When the time comes, directly by virtue of familiarity with the terrain, the troops can break out of the encirclement.

But this method is not safe, or it is a helpless option. The individual soldiers of the Japanese army are of good quality, and even if the cavalry can't catch up, the infantry can catch up!

And their equipment and firepower are stronger than the 52nd Division and the Red! Other words. Even if it is withdrawn, the loss is estimated to be small.

"Tell the Thirty-Fourth Division! Lao Tzu told them to rush to the place tomorrow morning! Tu Laohu said viciously to the adjutant: "I must block the way of the Japanese army!" And the 33rd Division, I'll give them two more hours! If you want him Jiang Wende to be out of place, let him *** come to see him! ”

"Yes!!" Listening to the murderous words of the slaughtering tiger, the adjutant couldn't help but respond loudly! Then he went down to deliver the order. After giving the order, Tu Laohu walked to the observation window and raised his binoculars to observe the Japanese position.

Now the Japanese positions are almost in shambles. Everywhere there were craters left by Wehrmacht heavy artillery. But the Japanese army was still holding on.

But what they don't know is that their insistence is basically the release of this slaughtering tiger. Now it is no longer the Wehrmacht troops that are attacking the Japanese positions.

The losses of the Wehrmacht troops were very large, and the losses were so distressed that they slaughtered the tigers! So he did not hesitate to ask Jin Jiu to organize those Korean guerrillas who had been trained for a long time. They were armed with Wehrmacht rifles and guns captured from the Japanese army.

And then let them attack the Japanese, of course! Tu Laohu will not explicitly say that he does not want the Fourth Army to lose, his obvious reason is: Anyway, you will definitely have to fight the Japanese army at that time, it is better to train now!

With armament. Jin Jiu is naturally willing to fight the Japanese army! With the help of the National Defense Forces, the entire Korean Patriotic Party has developed nearly 40,000 armed forces in the Korean region!

Of these, more than 1,000 have been trained in various junior military academies of the Defence Force. Many of them even had experience in guerrilla warfare, so they became the backbone members of the newly formed "Korean People's Army."

As for this battle, the Wehrmacht fought with the Japanese army in the front, and they were not idle. In the areas occupied by the Wehrmacht, they cleaned up those landlords and merchants who were close to Japan, and they also packed up very happily!

According to the way of the Wehrmacht, a large number of fields and assets were directly distributed to the ordinary North Korean people below. These oppressed North Korean people are naturally ecstatic!

But these people also know that if Jin Jiu and them leave, there is no doubt that these lands will definitely be taken back! As a result, many people joined the Korean People's Army under the propaganda of Kim Jiu.

"Kill!!" It was on the spot where the slaughtering tiger was observing. A group of Korean People's Army roared and killed the Japanese position! With bayonets and broadswords, he killed the Japanese soldiers.

Now the Japanese army is basically numb, and they don't care who kills the position. What they know is that as long as they come up to the battlefield, they all want their lives. Fight it!

Tu Sanpao slowly lowered the binoculars and sighed. He also wanted to swallow these two divisions directly, but unfortunately, the latest development now is that the Japanese navy has begun to move.

If it were not for the addition of the Japanese Navy, Tu San Artillery would be confident that these two divisions would be eliminated! Or even directly hit North Korea! But with the addition of the Japanese Navy, the situation was completely different.

Not to mention the power that the navy's various warships can exert on a peninsula like Korea, the navy's transportation capacity and air force support capability alone are not ordinary!

If it is only the army, even if North Korea is defeated, they may not be able to support it. But if it's the Navy that helps. There is no doubt that the Japanese army can send its own army units to Korea in a steady stream!

Plus the Navy's aircraft carriers, battleships, supply ships and landing ships...... Wait a minute! Japan's industrial capabilities were far greater than those of the Wehrmacht, plus the transport capabilities of the Navy. The Wehrmacht fought hard with it, and the result was definitely a dead word!

Japs! It's okay, what are you doing in the Navy...... Tu Sanpao couldn't help but complain in his heart.

And what he didn't know was. In fact, the Navy does not want to get involved. This was a direct order from Hirohito.

The reason why Hirohito gave this order is simple, once North Korea is lost, then his nest Tokyo is likely to face bombing! This is something that Hirohito can't tolerate, so he directly ordered: This war must be ended! The Navy cannot sit idly by!

This order directly crushed the navy to death. Although from the point of view of the Navy, even without the Korean Defense Force, it will definitely not be able to attack Tokyo. The Navy is not a vegetarian, let alone the horse manure of the Army!

Even a certain number of senior generals in the navy still thought that after the defeat of the army, the navy would directly dispatch warships to cooperate with the marines in landing operations! Take back North Korea, isn't it more face-saving ?!

It's a pity that the emperor ordered it directly. So no matter how unwilling they were, they could only go out and kill Jeju Island as a whole! Meantime. The aircraft carriers Akagi and Kaga have been completely emptied!

The two aircraft carriers were loaded with the 19th Division to support North Korea and a large number of weapons and ordnance, and headed for North Korea! At the same time, the Japanese military department instructed Nakajima Aircraft to immediately start producing the Type 97 fighter, which was approved by Major General Saburo Ando of the Flying Division!

Under pressure from the Wehrmacht, the War Department passed the immediate appropriation without any hindrance and demanded that the Nakajima aircraft be fully manufactured! In order to equip most of the troops with new fighters! At the same time, several aircraft manufacturers such as Nakajima Flying Aircraft Co., Ltd. and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries were asked to develop new fighters!

By this time, the Japanese had noticed the difference between their fighters and the Wehrmacht. So. They are actively pulling closer.

Although Tu Lao Hu didn't know about these news, he knew that the Japanese had suffered a big loss on the plane, so they would definitely increase their investment in this area!

Japan has an industrial level that cannot be compared with the three eastern provinces for the time being. In other words, once Japan fully exerts its strength, the National Defense Forces will be able to hold the three eastern provinces with dignity, which is already very good!

With this industrial base, the Wehrmacht is able to produce 100 aircraft per month! So what extent has Japan reached in the decades since the Meiji Restoration?!

The gap in the middle can be clear just by thinking about it. (To be continued)
