The 60th Army is a 322 system with three divisions under its jurisdiction. Each division has two brigades, while each brigade has two regiments. The 539th Brigade was subordinate to An Sipu, the commander of the 182nd Division.

The 182nd Division suffered considerable losses on the battlefield in Xianning, and fought to the death in the battle to break through Wuchang City. The losses of the brigade as a whole were large, but the formation was quite intact.

"Don't talk about it! The task is here, Zhang Weihao! You're on! Do a beautiful job, don't embarrass our 182nd Division! Cocoon Wenying, the head of the 1st O 78th Regiment, waved his hand and said loudly to Zhang Weihao.

"Yes!!" Zhang Weihao stood up and replied loudly to the head of the regiment, Cocoon Wenying. As he spoke, he also glanced at the company commander defiantly. The commander of the first company, Di Hong, rolled his eyes angrily.

On the "Kerala ......" position, the Japanese army's Type 97 tank was rampantly crushing towards the position of the 60th Army. The Central Army lacked anti-tank weapons, and it was almost helpless to change this strengthened version of the 97 type.

Many times, it can only be constantly filled with human lives to fill these armored monsters. This made these 97-style changes extremely arrogant, and they even became the magic weapon of the Japanese army to break through the position in many cases.

Zhang Weihao, the commander of the third company, had already brought his brothers to the position, and looked coldly at those arrogant Japanese tanks. Several men of the Dian army were strapped to explosives bags.

These are the death squads that have been drawn out of lots, and they will go to blow up these tanks on orders.

"Yes! Blow up these shitty days! Zhang Weihao gritted his teeth and said fiercely to the death squad members around him: "Don't say anything else, as long as I still have a breath of old Zhang, I will shoulder the affairs at home!" ”

"Hey...... Company commander, look! But I saw a childish baby who looked to be about seventeen or eighteen years old and said: "I don't have any ability, just this life." I can die in the national war, I'm worth it! ”

But just as these men were about to rush down, several figures suddenly appeared next to the tanks below! They appeared so suddenly, even the Japanese tanks didn't have time to react.

But I saw these figures roaring angrily and suddenly rushing towards the Japanese tank, and then "Boom!!" "A bang!

Where is the leader of the 97-style change, and there are bursts of wails in the smoke of gunpowder, and the gunpowder smoke disperses, and the leading 97-style change is covered with flesh and blood. These are the flesh and blood of the men who pounced.

"Those...... It should be a brother of the Central Army. Zhang Weihao was silent for a while. He said in a deep voice to the soldiers around him: "These men should be ambushed in the rubble, and then pounce on them at close range when the tank comes......"

As he spoke, Zhang Weihao silently took off his military hat. The officers and men of the 60th Army on the position were also silent, and silently took off their hats like the company commanders. A final tribute to the warriors who died fighting for their country.

The Japanese troops on the opposite side were obviously frightened, because a Type 97 in front of them was bombed and temporarily incapacitated. As a result, the follow-up tanks were unable to act.

"Tutu Tu Tu ...... Boom, boom, boom......" The tanks kept turning their machine guns and tank guns, bombarding them in all directions. Dust all around.

Zhang Weihao took his brothers and buried his body in the tunnel first. Dodging Japanese shelling. After these Japanese soldiers continued to attack, he said in a deep voice: "Explosives are planted!" Wait for them to come up and use it! ”

Zhang Weihao thought of a way to fight. This tactic was once talked to by Wehrmacht instructors. Even the Wehrmacht instructors described the lethality of this tactic in vivid detail.

"Gather all the grenades and explosives packs!" saw Zhang Weihao say fiercely: "Lao Tzu is going to play a big game this time!" The pit doesn't die, these gangs are dead, Lao Tzu has their surname! ”

Zhang Weihao was ruthless, and He Yingqin and others, who had already withdrawn outside Wuchang City and even joined Hu Zongnan, couldn't be ruthless.

"Chief of the General Staff, look at it. This is the clear code telegram that the tiger sent us. Hu Zongnan smiled bitterly and handed a telegram to He Yingqin. He really didn't know how to deal with this matter.

In Chongqing, Jiang Dagongzi is now unconscious, and the rest of the people do not know much about the military and cannot command at all. The only thing Hu Zongnan can rely on is these people from the Whampoa family.

He Yingqin took the telegram in amazement, but saw that it was written:

The 60th Army was ordered to support and was deeply surrounded for the National Salvation Mansion. If the government abandons it, Chongqing will henceforth be the enemy of the National Defense Forces. Neither resisting. What's the use of the government?! It is better to disperse and find a way out.

He Yingqin looked at this telegram and couldn't help but blush! "Bang!" He slammed the telegram on the table and roared, "It's too much! Who does he think he is?! It's just a local warlord, and he commanded us! What the hell is he?! ”

Chen Cheng, Dai Li, and others took the telegram and looked at it, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

This Tiger Tu's speech was really unceremoniously tight, but he said it directly. It is true that the 60th Army came to relieve the siege of Wuchang City, and if they were to abandon them like this, they really shouldn't have been.

But now the 60th Army is on its own ground. If they pull back now, it will be nothing to take them by themselves. But they just want to resist the Japanese army, so they can't let the Central Army turn around and fight the Japanese army?!

Moreover, the Central Army made it clear that it couldn't kill the Japanese army! Now although there is Hu Zongnan's support, Hu Zongnan has already suffered great losses when he fights by himself. It was extremely reluctant to go on again.

"No matter! Ordered the troops to withdraw directly, I want to see if he can bear me?! He Yingqin snorted coldly, but everyone knew that he was just angry.

For now, no one in the whole of China can underestimate the Tiger commander. The millions of troops under his command beat the Japanese army out of the Pingjin area.

This is since the start of the Sino-Japanese war. What a victory I've never had before!

No one can erase or ignore this achievement, and in contrast, although the Central Army suffered great losses, it was defeated all the way. If you don't know the goods, you're afraid of shopping around!

When the two sides are compared, it is clear who is strong and who is weak. Naturally, everyone didn't want to offend the tiger too much. When Jiang Zhongzheng was still there, even Jiang Zhongzheng was unwilling to offend him at will.

What's more, wait for someone else?! It seems that if China can win, it will be at the hands of the tiger. How will you deal with yourself when you wait for others?!

Everyone wants to leave some way back for themselves.

"Chief of the General Staff, although this man speaks extremely rudely. But there is some truth in his words! Chen Cheng, the junior chairman, spoke, but when he saw him facing He Yingqin, he said: "After all, the Dian army is here to help us, and now it is deeply involved in the war. If we leave without regard to it, it will be a huge blow to the prestige of the government......"

"Alas...... I don't know?! But can we still have the ability to continue fighting now?! He Yingqin let out a long sigh and said to everyone: "How many tank brigades are left in Yu'an?!" How much combat power does Shoushan still have?! We are facing the main force of the Japanese army! ”

He Yingqin's words made everyone silent. This is the case. The current situation has made it clear that the Central Army simply does not have the spare strength to support the 60th Army.

In fact, everyone is still rethinking one thing in their hearts, that is, why did the 60th Army resist the attack of the Japanese army to the death?! Those little people, if they lose it, they will lose it. The wounded soldiers are no longer able to fight, so what's the use of saving them?!

It is very unwise to take the main combat power that has gone through life and death to exchange these generals in the national government. Unbeknownst to them, this was the concept that the Sixtieth Army had received from the Wehrmacht.

It is also one of the great reasons why the combat effectiveness of the Wehrmacht is stronger than that of these central armies. The belief system of the Central Army. Almost zero. Built in a warlord melee. The Central Army, which relied on the constant containment of all kinds of ruffians, did not have much ideological construction at all.

Even the idea of "a gentleman is noble, a general is wise, and a soldier is a fool" is still very marketable in the Central Army, and they don't want these soldiers to understand the so-called truth.

In their opinion, these soldiers are nothing more than consumables on the battlefield. If you are dead, you can catch the strong man again. anyway

This is also the consistent practice of the government. Or rather, this is characteristic of this era.

Jack. In his book China Shakes the World, Berden mentions the treatment of the expeditionary force at that time.

"The relationship between the officer and the native soldier is like that of the landlord and the peasant—that is to say, the officer sometimes behaves as if he is the head of a family, but always sees his soldiers as ignorant serfs unworthy of human rights.

This relationship was dominant in Chiang's army, and it was more pronounced in the army than in the countryside. It is undeniable that those who serve as soldiers have the lowest status in Chinese society. "Good iron doesn't nail it. Good men are not soldiers. "This is the national tradition of the old squadron.

This tradition still existed in Chiang's army. Because the Great Revolution of 1927 failed, Chinese society as a whole was not transformed, and therefore the army was not reformed.

The common people are extremely afraid of the army, and the army looks down on soldiers, which can easily be seen from the way in which peasants are arrested as strong men.

Conscription has always been based on corruption, bribery and power. The children of the rich never become soldiers: The children of the poor never escape being soldiers.

The only son of a poor widow was often conscripted; Many of the sons and daughters of the landlords never served in the military. Those arrested are the poorest, and they are often the poorest in health. Often, half of a group of strong men died before they reached the front line. ”

And Bai Xiude and Jia Anna also wrote in their co-authored book "China's Thunder":

"After the strong Ding in the first district. They kidnap passers-by, or buy strong men from organized strong men to make up their numbers. In the process of conscription, some of the strong men were killed, and some were injured; Sometimes they starved to death before they reached the camp.

The soldiers in the squadron never have holidays, never go home, and it is extremely rare to receive letters from home. Entering the army is usually a death sentence - dying on the road. More people died in the conscription process, in the brutal recruit training ground and on long marches, than in the army.

The strong men who were still alive after training arrived in the front-line army, and their situation was not much better than when they were recruited. Because the squadron was slowly starving to death on the battlefield. If luck is good, the officer is honest, and everything is done according to the protocol, the Chinese soldiers eat rice and vegetables.

His ration was 24 taels a day, but it was very insufficient. Foods other than rice, occasionally some green beans and radishes.

There are many strange illnesses in the army, the most common of which are those caused by starvation. With their physique corrupted by poor food, insomnia, and years of life on the front lines, any infectious disease that floats around is extremely susceptible to infecting Chinese soldiers. ”

If you sum it up, it is easy to conclude that none of the officers and generals in the government treat soldiers as human beings. Perhaps, in their eyes, the lives of these soldiers are even worse than that of animals.

For them, these dead ones can be reconvened by the landlords and security chiefs. Anyway, there are many Chinese, even if there are more deaths, as long as they and others do not die, then it doesn't matter.

This is their true psychology, the nobility and coldness brought out of their bones.

Under the guidance of this thinking. They couldn't understand the thoughts of the generals of Tu Qianjun and the Wehrmacht. In their eyes, this is absurd. But this absurdity, with its undoubted success.

The strong fighting power of the Wehrmacht is what they covet and fear. But they are absolutely not going to change themselves, to change the troops under their command to carry out a policy similar to that of the Wehrmacht.

Because, this is the basis of their rule. If these are lost. They lose control of their troops. Yes. From Jiang Zhongzheng to the rest of the government officials, they always consoled themselves with one sentence: If I can have those equipment of the Wehrmacht, I will fight no worse than them!

Just like many directors in later generations, if I could have the technical support of "The Lord of the Rings" and the support of money, I would be able to make a movie that is no worse than "The Lord of the Rings". Facts have proved that even if they give the technology to "The Lord of the Rings", most of the directors will make a "Hero" or "Wuji".

What's more, even if the money is spent and the technology is exhausted, nothing can be shot.

"Chief of the General Staff, what do we do now?! Is it support or no support?! Hu Zongnan was silent for a while, and then said in a deep voice to He Yingqin.

"Call and ask Lu Yongheng how long it will take for them to withdraw......" He Yingqin pondered for a while. He said to Hu Zongnan: "Tell them that we will build a position outside Wuchang City and wait for them, and let them withdraw as soon as possible." ”

After all, He Yingqin did not dare to directly abandon the 60th Army, so he could only make such a compromise.

"Tell the tiger that we can hold off for a while. But they have to give us some support, and how to support him is to do it. In a word. We can't fight the Japanese army directly. ”

He Yingqin's current thinking is that even if he starts a fight with the Japanese army, he has to mix with Tu Qianjun to get some benefits back.

"If it doesn't work, then ask him to come back with some weapons afterwards. We are also a team of anti-Japanese soldiers, and since he can support the 60th Army, then he can support us. ”

Hu Zongnan and the others nodded, after all, He Yingqin had been following Jiang Zhongzheng for a long time. These doorways are still clear, and the pros and cons are analyzed in three or two clicks.

Support is certainly impossible not to do. But as a central army, you can't suffer too much. Now basically most of the factories have been lost, and it is extremely difficult for the Central Army to replenish weapons.

The three eastern provinces are well-known big households! Since we are all anti-Japanese troops, then we will support us in terms of weapons!

"Yunong, Chongqing needs you a lot now. So. You rush back to Chongqing with the others first. He Yingqin pondered for a while, and continued to order to everyone: "Rhetoric, you will be the commander-in-chief of the war here." Shoushan, you can't retreat for the time being. Posture is something to do. ”

In a few words, He Yingqin finished the matter. Everyone was unconvinced, and they all nodded at He Yingqin. Almost all of the people present were from the Huangpu family, and He Yingqin still had some authority in their hearts.

"Remember, the troops we have are what the government can rely on. The chairman of the NPC National Committee once said: Sacrifice is not at the last moment, so do not make sacrifices lightly. Encourage all of you! ”

After speaking, He Yingqin gave a military salute to everyone. After everyone returned the salute, he walked out of the temporary headquarters with Dai Li.

After He Yingqin left, Hu Zongnan and others began to build fortifications under the command of Chen Cheng. At the same time, he called Lu Han in the city and told him that he had built a position outside Wuchang City.

As long as he withdraws from Wuchang City, then his own troops will give him cover. The implication is that if all of your 60th Army died in Wuchang City, you can't blame the Central Army for not being righteous.

Pinching the telegram sent by the Central Army, Lu Han couldn't help but sneer. Looking at the telegram from Beijing on the table, Lu Han's heart warmed! It is no wonder that Zhizhou Gong was convinced by the Tiger Commander.

Look at what people do, and then look at what the government does. Although the former is handsome and elegant, it exudes the smell of sour rot and self-cherished feathers that can be smelled three miles away.

And the telegram from the Commander-in-Chief of the Tiger was extremely simple:

Brother Yongheng is not in a hurry, and his brother has urgently ordered the air force to transfer to Xi'an a few days ago. My brother only needs to hold out for a little time before he can withdraw. I have forcibly ordered the Central Military Headquarters to take over the 60th Army.

Brother should take the lives of the soldiers under his command as the priority, save the useful body and continue to fight the war. Brother Yu Pingjin, looking forward to killing the enemy side by side with his brother!

Commander-in-Chief of the National Defense Forces, Tu Mengben, word.

My heart is warm! Lu Han knew that the Wehrmacht's air force had just finished fighting Japanese fighters in the skies over Pingjin. But he did not expect that in order to withdraw his own troops, the Wehrmacht would be willing to send his own air force units!

This would be unthinkable if it were to be replaced by the Central Army. Luján sighed, and the weather became apparent. The national government, after all, is exhausted.

"Forward the telegram to the whole army! Tell them that the Wehrmacht has sent our air force to support us. Everyone only needs to hold out until the wounded are evacuated, and we will evacuate Wuchang City under the cover of the plane! (To be continued)
