The news that "Meizhou will be lost" was transmitted to the headquarters of the 12th Group Army as soon as possible.
When the news was first delivered, everyone couldn't believe that in less than 2 hours, the 5th Division of the Japanese Army had captured four county towns outside Meizhou, as well as almost all the peripheral positions.
For a while, everyone was in a collective uproar!
"Commander-in-chief, Zhang Guangqi has misled the country and the people, please order him to be shot immediately!"
"This fang really deserves to die, otherwise with General Liu Xiaohan's 187th Division, it will definitely be able to hold Meizhou for at least a few days, and it will not cause the current bad situation!"
"Now it's not a question of shooting a Zhang Guangqi, it's a question of how to hold Meizhou!"
"Meizhou is still a fart! Now there are less than 8,000 thousand people left, and all of them are wounded, how can they defeat the tiger and wolf division of the 5th Division of the Japanese army? ā
"Commander-in-chief, now it seems that we should focus on preserving our forces, and when the Japanese army has not yet completely encircled Meizhou City, we should immediately order the 187th Division and the 361st Independent Brigade to evacuate Meizhou City as soon as possible!"
"Stupid! If Meizhou City is evacuated now, the Japanese army can drive straight into the source of the river, and may even march directly to the southwest and attack Huizhou! ā
"Heyuan has tens of thousands of horses and horses of Zhang Ruigui's 63rd Army, and it is not a problem to resist the Japanese army for a week, but Huizhou is different, Zhang Dabu stationed in Huizhou, that is, the 62nd Army, its main forces are all in the Daya Bay area, resisting the Japanese landing force."
"Once Huizhou is breached, tens of thousands of horses and horses of our army in Daya Bay, as well as the 512th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army, will fall into the front and rear attacks of the Japanese army!"
After listening to the analysis of the people, Commander-in-Chief Yu Hanmou was really as big as an ox for a while.
Should we take the initiative to evacuate Meizhou?
Yu Hanmou was reluctant to give this order to evacuate Meizhou, but if he didn't give it, wouldn't the remaining 8,000 or so Guangdong soldiers in Meizhou City be killed and wounded?
Meizhou!
Meizhou in Guangdong!
It's also the land of China!
How could he be willing to discard it!
If the defenders of Meizhou retreat, then the tens of thousands of people who fought bloodily in Daya Bay must also retreat, otherwise they will face the front and rear attacks of the Japanese army.
The chief of the general staff looked at Yu Hanmou and said helplessly: "General Seat, order the Meizhou defenders to retreat, we can't watch thousands of Guangdong soldiers die in vain!" ā
"Hey!"
Yu Hanmou sighed heavily.
Picked up the telegram sent by Meizhou and chewed on the anti-corruption again.
Between the lines, the content of the telegram is the determination of the division commander Liu Xiaohan to defend Meizhou to the death, especially the six big characters in the telegram, which made Yu Hanmou feel emotional.
"If I live, I'd rather die!"
This is the determination of Liu Xiaohan, the commander of the 817th Division!
It's been a long time.
Yu Hanmou said helplessly: "Immediately send a telegram to Liu Xiaohan, and ask him to immediately lead his troops to withdraw to Huizhou, connect with the 62nd Army, and intercept the Japanese army on the spot." ā
"At the same time, the 62nd Army and the 512th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army were ordered to evacuate Daya Bay one after another at 8 o'clock in the evening today, and go to the Huizhou area to take strict precautions."
Hearing this, the chief of staff's pupils shrank, flashed a strange look, and then nodded and said, "Yes, I'll do it!" ā
Yu Hanmou, who was tired, waved his hand at the moment, making everyone retreat, he needed to calm down.
12th Army, General Maintenance Room.
The chief of the general staff immediately transmitted Yu Hanmou's order to all departments in the form of a telegram, but only did not give the order to the 512th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army to retreat.
"Commander-in-chief, I didn't inform the Eighth Route Army, I hope you don't blame me, I'm also for the party-state!"
The chief of staff muttered to himself, a fierce look flashing in his eyes.
The 512th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army was overshadowed!

October 15, 1938, 9 a.m.
Meizhou, Guangdong Province.
Above the city gate.
Division commander Liu Xiaohan repeatedly inspected the fortifications of the city gate several times, for fear that there would be a slight omission.
"Master, the little devil said, it may be there in a blink of an eye, it is too dangerous here, please move to the headquarters in the city immediately."
The chief of staff of the division pleaded sincerely.
Hearing this, division commander Liu Xiaohan shook his head and said in a deep voice: "Now is the time when the morale of our army is at its lowest, where can I still sit peacefully in the command headquarters?" Only at this city gate, on this line of battlefield, personally supervising the battle, can the soldiers be aroused to resist to the death. ā
"But, but, your safety, Master, is the ~~~~~!"
Before the division chief of staff could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Liu Xiaohan.
"Needless to say, I've made up my mind!"
Liu Xiaohan said: "My country's ~ army soldiers, can still throw their heads and spill blood for their hometown, I, Liu Xiaohan, as the commander of a division, are not afraid of these hundred and ten catties?" ā
"Even if I die in Meizhou today, I, Liu Xiaohan, am worthy of the robes who died in battle under Jiuquan, and worthy of the land that gave birth to me and raised me!"
After listening to Liu Xiaohan's words, the division chief of staff looked at his tall back.
I was a little ashamed for a while, you must know that when the four county towns outside Meizhou fell, I was the first to abandon the city and flee.
Compared with the two, the judgment is made from the superior.
A haze flashed in the eyes of the division chief of staff, and he said in his heart: "You are eager to die, and you want to leave a name in history, but I just want to live well, and the Tao is not the same, Liu Xiaohan, you can't complain that I am patriotic and ruthless." ā
Obviously, Dai Aiguo, the chief of staff of the division, was thinking about running away!
In this troubled era, there are so many people who are in a high position like Dai Aiguo, who do not want to sacrifice their lives to serve the country and become benevolent, but who are greedy for life and afraid of death!
Not long after, a telegram came from the headquarters of the 12th Army ordering the 187th Division to evacuate Meizhou.
Division commander Liu Xiaohan glanced at the message, and immediately his eyes turned black and he fainted.
This fainting really shocked the surrounding officers and soldiers.
Everyone was in a hurry at the moment, and only then did Liu Xiaohan wake up.
After Liu Xiaohan woke up, he immediately knelt on the ground, trembling violently in Meizhou City, and kowtowed three times in a row.
"Brothers, fellow villagers, I, Liu Xiaohan, can't kill myself, can't resist to the death, I feel ashamed!"
For a while, Liu Xiaohan cried bitterly, his face was full of tears, and he couldn't hide the anger in his heart!
But military orders are difficult to disobey, as a soldier, obedience is his duty!
Seeing this, everyone wanted to help Liu Xiaohan up, but they were all pushed away by him.
Liu Xiaohan knelt on the ground, pointed to the sky with one hand, and shouted: "I, Liu Xiaohan, swear here, that in my lifetime, if I can't return to Meizhou and expel the Japanese invaders, I will be forever in the eighteenth layer of hell, and I will never be reborn!" ā
According to historical records, in the Second Battle of Northern Guangdong in 1943, Division Commander Liu Xiaohan fulfilled his oath and led his troops to kill all the Japanese invaders in Meizhou City, but only 2 days passed after the victory. Liu Xiaohan died of a sudden illness and died.
According to folklore, when the division commander Liu Xiaohan died, there was no trace of pain on his face, and the second was that he passed away with a smile.
Chairman Jiang praised him and said: "The fierce general of the country should be like this!" ā

15 October 1938, 8:15 p.m.
The sky is getting dark, and the sun is setting.
Daya Bay, the headquarters of the 512th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army.
Ouyang and Wang Yaqiao gathered here to discuss tomorrow's battle.
But at this moment, Jiang Daya, who was stationed in the passage from Tamsui to Daya Bay, sent an urgent message.
The content of the telegram reads: "The 151st and 152nd Divisions of the 62nd Army stationed in Daya Bay will be withdrawn from Daya Bay. ā
As soon as they saw this message, Ouyang and Wang Yaoqiao were furious!
More of a deep horror!
They are in the dark!
was overshadowed by the national ~ army!
The new regiment, artillery regiment, and independent regiment under the command of the 512th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army were all fighting fiercely against the Japanese and never sleeping.
An unprepared retreat at this moment is bound to cause heavy casualties!
Especially the hundreds of soldiers who are far away in the bridgehead of Daya Bay and Gao Dashan who are fighting on Sanmen Island, there is no way to retreat!
Our army on Sanmen Island is facing a desperate situation!
"Smack!"
Ouyang took the case and roared angrily: "The country~ army, deceive people too much!" ā
With the evacuation of the 151st and 152nd Divisions of the National ~ Army, the 512th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army instantly became the target of public criticism.
Ouyang, it's dangerous!
The 512th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army is in danger!
Hundreds of warriors such as the tall mountains of Sanmen Island are facing a desperate situation of certain death!
