Anti-Japanese War: Starting from Yaobai

Chapter 834 Make the most of everything!

There are many headaches for Duanwu, Zhou Weiguo and Qiu Ming are just one of them, and there are bandits like Ma Zhenshan, Heihu, and Yingzhuo Sun who also give him headaches.

Although they performed well in the previous battles, the casualties in various departments still made the bandit leaders shrink back.

And Ma Zhenshan found Duanwu in private and said: "I don't know if there is no comparison. After fighting for several days, these people under him are not only far behind the devils, but also different from the independent regiment, the [-]nd regiment, and the [-]nd regiment. With the Eighth Route Army, there is a big gap. He is losing confidence more and more now, and even feels that he is a burden to the independent regiment."

But are Ma Zhenshan's men really that weak?

No, no matter how weak Ma Zhenshan's subordinates are, they will not be weaker than the recruits who just joined the army. When Duanwu was guarding the Sixing Warehouse, many of them were ordinary people who had never fought before joining the army.

So Ma Zhenshan said that his subordinates are too weak, which is not true at all.

And Duan Wu is not a fool, how could he not see Ma Zhenshan's little trick?At that time, he knew what Ma Zhenshan meant.

But at that time, Duan Wu didn't have time to think about it, so he didn't make any reply.

But at this time, when he saw that so many wounded could not be taken away, Duan Wu had a new idea. If Ma Zhenshan and others could not sincerely take refuge in him, it might not be a good thing for his battle plan.What's more, Ma Zhenshan, Heihu, Yingzhuo Sun and other bandits suffered a lot of casualties.

Taking Ma Zhenshan as an example, there were originally more than 360 people under him, but after several battles at Shamadian, Erlang Mountain, and Datou Mountain, there were only more than 100 people left.

As for Eagle Claw Sun, Heihu's subordinates, there were even fewer people left, the two teams added up to less than a hundred people.

So the total of these three mountain men and horses added up, there are less than 200 people who can still fight.

The strength of 200 people is only equivalent to a reinforced company. Although there are a lot of people, the combat effectiveness of the bandits is not enough to be used as the main force, and they also have to bear the risk of fleeing at any time.

This is not cost-effective, so Duanwu decided to let Ma Zhenshan and others stay in the Shamadian area to rest and take care of the wounded.

Of course, the Dragon Boat Festival will not let them herd sheep, but temporarily seal them the ranks of an independent regiment to reserve the first battalion, reserve the second battalion, and reserve the third battalion to restrain them.

As for the bandits, it was settled, and only Zhou Weiguo and Qiu Ming were left.

During the Dragon Boat Festival, an impromptu battle meeting was held, and the guards called Zhou Weiguo and Qiu Ming over.

There were only three people in the room, and Duan Wu went straight to the point: "When we met today, Lao Zhou said that we could go west and cross the line of fire to return to Nanjing, while Lao Qiu said that it would be safe to continue going north, so today we will solve this problem , how are we going to go?"

Zhou Weiguo glanced at the map and said, "Duanwu, you don't want to go with the Eighth Route Army, do you? If you go with the Eighth Route Army, I'll go back to Nanjing by myself."

Duan Wu said with a smile: "Don't worry, where we go is not up to me alone, the three of us can discuss it calmly."

After all, Duan Wu said to Zhou Weiguo first: "Old Zhou, you said to go west and cross the line of fire, return to Nanjing, and tell me your reasoning."

Zhou Weiguo said: "Isn't this obvious? Go west, go back to the rear and then take Nanjing. Let's go to defend Nanjing?"

At this time, Duan Wu asked back: "Then what do you think is the chance of defending Nanjing?"

Zhou Weiguo frowned, because he had not been out of Nanjing for a long time, and he also knew a little about Nanjing's city defense and military strength. It is very difficult to defend Nanjing City, and he speculated that it could be held for about half a month.

"For half a month, at least within half a month, Nanjing will still be in our hands."

Zhou Weiguo replied a little unconfidently, because half a month was the best result he guessed.

But at this time, I didn't want Dragon Boat Festival but said: "Two days, at most two days. And I believe that the withdrawal order of the Nanjing City Defense Army will be issued early tomorrow morning."

Zhou Weiguo asked in surprise, "How is this possible?"

Duan Wu said with a smile: "If you don't believe me, let's send a telegram tomorrow morning to ask, and use the little devil's high-power radio."

Zhou Weiguo felt inappropriate and said: "You can't use the devil's radio station, otherwise we will be exposed, and the devil will definitely find out that the Sakata brigade no longer exists based on this radio station."

Duan Wu continued to laugh and said: "Do you think the little devils will never be able to find out? The Sakata United Squad was not wiped out. If the devils who fled in all directions are lucky, they will be able to find their own people in [-] hours, and the Sakata Squadron will be wiped out." Everything was reported to their Commander Matsui.

And after 24 hours, the defenders on the little devil's western front will be ready for battle, and after 36 hours, the little devil's reinforcements will rush to the thin line for reinforcements.

So what you said about returning to the national defense area, we are afraid that we will suffer a lot of losses.Because even if we set off now, it will take nearly two days to reach the front line.

But do you think we can reach the western front in two days with our current exhaustion? "

After all, the position of the Dragon Boat Festival on the western front has been marked with three red lines with a red pen, which will indicate the price they will pay for breaking into the front line.

Zhou Weiguo is not a fool. Through the analysis of Duan Wu, he can also imagine how many people can go back alive even if they can cross the line of fire.

But even so, Zhou Weiguo did not agree to go with the Eighth Route Army, because he is the Central Army, so why would he be with a group of bumpkins?

So Zhou Weiguo made it clear at this time: "Even if going west is not feasible, then we cannot follow the Eighth Route Army."

Duan Wu said with a smile: "Don't worry, let's listen to what Lao Qiu has to say!"

With that said, Duan Wu motioned Qiu Ming to explain his reasoning.

Qiu Ming pointed to the map and said: "Now we go north, I think it is the safest, we know a mountain road, we can bypass the devil's blockade, and return to Hutou Mountain safely.

Moreover, we have our base in Hutou Mountain, and the local people base is also very good, we have no problem with food, housing and transportation,"

Qiu Ming expressed his thoughts, but Duan Wu still smiled and said: "Safety is not a good word. Whether we go west or north, it is not for safety. If we are safe, then the common people will not be safe.

We are soldiers, although we cannot go to war every day, our task is to destroy our enemies.

So you said going north would be safe, but this is not the result I want.

What I want is to kill more devils! "

Speaking of this, Duan Wu first pointed to the direction of Beijing and Zhou Weiguo with his hand, Qiu Ming said: "Look at Nanjing, from the perspective of the terrain, Nanjing's geographical location is not conducive to defense.

With Nanjing backed by the Yangtze River, it seems feasible to fight with the last ditch and sink the boat.But don't forget that Nanjing's terrain is flat, which is not conducive to our army's position defense at all.

The mechanized units of the Japanese army can drive straight in, and drive their tanks wherever they want.

Looking at the number of people and equipment, Nanjing's defenders are about 15, and their equipment is not bad, but most of them are remnants who were defeated on the Songhu battlefield, and their morale is very low.

As the saying goes, the army is defeated like a mountain, not to mention that they are not as good as devils in battle in Songhu. Can they win in Nanjing?

而我们再看日军，共有6个师团，除了114师团编制是1.8万人以外，其他的第3师团第6师团第9师团第16师团第13师团都是超过2万人的甲种师团。

In addition, part of the troops of the 5th Division participated in the battle.There is a huge gap between the number of Nanjing defenders and the enemy, and there is no advantage in comparison.

Geographical location, number of people, we don't have an advantage, so let's look at the equipment.

Devils are supported by planes in the sky, ships on the river, and chariots on land.

It is a miracle that we have been able to fight this battle till now.

Lao Zhou said that we should go back and guard Nanjing, so how to guard this Nanjing?Just relying on his Donald Duck mouth? .”
