Anti-Japanese War: Starting from Yaobai

Chapter 188 Verdun in the East!

"Mr. Liu, I have taken back the position of the second battalion. Immediately order your troops to stick to the position and not retreat."

When the call was connected, Duan Wu called Liu Peixu in an orderly tone.

Liu Peixu was very surprised and asked, "Who are you? Where is Fang Shuping?"

"I am the Dragon Boat Festival of the 88th Division Independent Regiment, and now I am the supervisor of the team appointed by the chairman himself.

The chairman ordered that without his order, no one should retreat, otherwise military law will be engaged.

Mr. Liu, I hope you can understand.This is the highest order of the chairman. "

Duan Wu raised the tone a few degrees, so Liu Peixu had to believe that this was really the chairman's order.

But in fact, there is no such order at all.The chairman's order will be issued on November 11.But at that time, it was too late.Some Japanese troops had crossed the Wu-Fu Line and headed straight for the Xicheng Line.

The Wufu line was guarded for eight days, and the Xicheng line was only guarded for two days.Duan Wu didn't know how these people kept watch.The Chinese army is more than twice the size of the Japanese army, but there is only one word in the fight, which is called "miserable".

The reason is that some officers are greedy for life and afraid of death.There are also some officers in order to preserve their own strength.

And if a line of defense is torn open, other troops will be forced to retreat.

The Battle of Songhu was a mess, the Wufu line was a mess, and the Xicheng line was even more messy.

Therefore, the 40th Division, the Dragon Boat Festival must not allow him to take a step back, at least to buy two to three days for the Xicheng line to deploy defenses.

As for blocking the devils on the Wu Fu line, Duan Wu never thought about it.Liu Peixu is not the only one who is greedy for life and afraid of death.He can only stabilize the northern line first.There are 88 divisions, 87 divisions and so on on the southern line.

The fighting power of these direct lineage troops is still very strong.And the weapons and equipment are no worse than that of the little devil.

Therefore, if the northern line does not retreat, the southern line will be much easier to fight.

But at the same time, Liu Peixu still wanted to run away.He tentatively asked: "You said it was the chairman's order, why didn't I receive it?"

"Then you can call Lao Yang in the general office to confirm. My independent regiment of the 88th Division was killed from the hinterland of the devils. When I arrived at the 112nd regiment of the 672th Division, I rested for ten days and received an order from the commissioner.

To tell you the truth, the Commissioner originally planned to let me return to Nanjing to return to my life.It was only because Wu Fu's line was tight that I had to be ordered to supervise the battle.So Mr. Liu, I think you'd better not take any chances, otherwise I can assure you.If you can't reach the Xicheng Line, your head will move. "

"··················"

Liu Peixu was speechless, but at this moment, he had already believed Duan Wu's words 672%.Because apart from the family order, the words of the Dragon Boat Festival are all true.And it is also true to call Secretary-General Yang from the [-] regiment.

But the most important thing was that Liu Peixu didn't dare to call Secretary-General Yang to confirm this matter.Because he was getting cold feet.If the chairman knew about this, wouldn't his career be gone.

"Well, the 40th Division can hold its ground, but the other divisions have to retreat, and our 40th Division is fighting alone. What's the use of that?"

Liu Peixu still hesitated.

Duan Wu said: "Then convey the order of the committee for me. Those who leave the position without authorization will be punished according to the rule of fleeing in battle, and stick to the position for two days. On the [-]th, the committee will issue a new order. Do you understand?"

"..."

Liu Peixu was speechless again, because he is the teacher, and who the hell are you, Duan Wu, who dare to yell at me like that?
But think about it, there is no problem.Don't look at the other party as just a head, but he has the order of the chairman.In the old saying, that is the imperial envoy, who sees the official senior level.

Liu Peixu could only obey obediently, and then ordered his retreating troops to regain the lost position.And convey the chairman's order to the armies and divisions he is connected with.

Although this order is false, at that time, where would anyone have the time to think about whether this order is true or false?What's more, who would dare to falsely pass on the chairman's order?That is the same crime as false preaching of imperial edicts.

Moreover, many people speculate that this also shows that the Chairman is going to fight the Japanese invaders to the end.

So after receiving the order, all frontline troops launched an extremely fierce counterattack.

The devil was stupefied all of a sudden, thinking: What happened to the Chinese?What kind of elixir, panacea did you take?How could it be so fierce?

Hisao Tani, the head of the Sixth Division, could only order the Japanese troops on the front line to withdraw temporarily, and counted the battle damage. During the battle of more than four hours, [-] Japanese troops died on the Wufu line.

This battle is simply too tragic, and both sides are almost taking human lives to fill it.

The Chinese army also suffered heavy losses. Except for the 88th and 87th divisions, many combat units have lost half of their personnel.

This unprecedented battle can definitely be called the Verdun of the East.Thousands of casualties were recorded in a single day.

As night fell, both sides were resting and preparing for tomorrow's battle.

Needless to say, the Japanese army, No.11 Division suffered heavy losses, the Sixth Division, and No.16 Division also suffered damage.

The morale of the Japanese army was low for a while. On the 5000th day alone, more than [-] Japanese soldiers were killed and countless injured.

Although the Chinese losses were slightly larger, the number of casualties was about twice that of the Japanese army.But this result is already very good.Because at least the Wu Fu line was kept.No troops retreated across the line.

This is all caused by a false order in the Dragon Boat Festival.

Without this false order, the consequences would have been unimaginable.Once the little devil lands in the northern defense zone, it will not only threaten the safety of the 40th Division's flank.Instead, it will force all Chinese troops to retreat.

Otherwise, once the Japanese army cut off the retreat of the armies.Then what awaits them is either encirclement and annihilation, or all surrender.

Yes, it is surrender. Although there are so many lessons learned from the past, the Japanese will not treat prisoners of war preferentially and will execute all prisoners of war, but there are still many troops willing to surrender.

For example, in the defense of Nanjing, tens of thousands of soldiers surrendered.Afterwards, they were put on wire and executed one by one, which was reduced to a laughing stock.

Although, they once fought the Japanese invaders, and they were very heroic.But I have to say, the moment they put down their weapons and surrendered, they were really stupid.

Soldiers cannot put down their weapons at any time.

Maybe you have thousands of reasons, and you can't.Because the moment you put down your weapon, you become a lamb to be slaughtered.

Are you betting on your enemy's kindness, as Dan-oh says?

This is another joke. If your enemy is kind, there will probably be no war.

When the war starts, the devil knows how many people will die.

kindness?Do not make jokes.Knowing that many people will die, do you want to start a war and be side by side with kindness?

Therefore, from the moment the soldiers put down their weapons, all that awaits you is death!
