Special Forces of Crossing: Cloud's Anti-Japanese

Chapter 2389 The Third Wuhan Battle

Negotiations between the State Department and Al-Shabaab ended with Al-Shabaab giving up all demands.When Ouyang Yun started to become arrogant and unreasonable (the internal newspaper of the Youth Party went to the cloud), Lin Sen, the former president of the Republic of China, this old man who was already seriously ill, stood up as a peacemaker, pointing out that the war on the front line is now tense, and everything should be done in the same way. The military is the most important thing, and it is far from the time to redefine the rights and interests; he also said that if the Youth Party members are truly patriotic, they should give up their prejudices and wholeheartedly assist the current government in fighting the next war, in order to expel the Japanese invaders as soon as possible and restore the country—— This is the attitude and mind that a responsible party should have.

Xuzhou's victory in the air battle can be regarded as a benchmark.Prior to this, although the Chinese army had already launched a counterattack and recovered many areas, the strength of the Japanese army was still there. Therefore, in this war of the century between China and Japan, who will win the final victory between China and Japan? In the number of five or five.After this battle, although the strength of the Japanese ground forces was still there, as China's vast sky was completely controlled by the Chinese Air Force, it is not difficult for anyone with a little military knowledge to see that the balance of victory and defeat has tilted towards China at this time.

A week after the air battle in Xuzhou ended, Xue Yue's Far East Expeditionary Force was the first to report success.After conquering Chengdu, the Ministry took advantage of the situation and captured Xi'an. So far, although the Japanese troops participating in the Qinling Raiders still had two divisions and an independent brigade, their total number of troops actually did not exceed [-], which is no longer available. The ability to harass China's rear.And just as Xue Yue's troops took advantage of the victory and marched towards NMG, the third Wuhan battle started——

After the 23rd Army of Takashi Sakai of the Japanese invaders was besieged and wiped out by Li Tieshu's troops in Xuzhou, the [-]th Army of Yokoyama Isamu in Wuhan and surrounding areas has actually become a lone army.With the devastating blow to the Japanese air force, the [-]th Army, let alone breaking through, actually lost their qualifications even to resist stubbornly.However, the Tokyo base camp of the Japanese army hesitated again on the question of whether the [-]th army should fight or break out. Therefore, after Li Tieshu's troops took full control of Xuzhou and the surrounding areas, the Japanese base camp wanted the [-]th army to retreat again. , but already too late.

Facts have proved that Ishihara Wanji's evaluation of Hideki Tojo is very appropriate.It's okay for this senior soldier to fight a regional battle alone, but his ability is limited to this.The lack of strategic vision is fine, but the terrible thing is that when considering military and national affairs, Tojo didn't put the overall situation first, and even had time to consider personal gains and losses.In this way, not to mention that the chance of the Eleventh Army retreating unscathed is low, even if the Eleventh Army had this opportunity, it would be abandoned.Hideki Tojo made such a serious mistake on the issue of the Eleventh Army, which has something to do with his efforts to make achievements in the Chinese battlefield so as to stabilize his position as prime minister.However, Tojo, who was still obsessed with Bushido's invincibility and knew little about advanced weapons and military technology, gave random orders based on his feelings, which naturally backfired.

Yokoyama Isamu, once such an ambitious person, because of Tojo's selfish thoughts, his life has completely become a tragedy.Because of the humiliation he suffered in Jiangxi, for Yu Hengshanyong, taking charge of the Eleventh Army is his opportunity to avenge his shame.He conveyed this obsession to the generals of the Eleventh Army through various means more than once. "Even if we die, we have to teach the Chinese people a painful lesson! Let them never dare to despise us from now on!" This is a sentence he often said, and he resolutely cooperated with Tojo's order to go around before the air battle in Xuzhou The greatest motivation to take the initiative.But now, sitting in the command post in Hankou, listening to the battle reports from various fronts, his face is numb, but it seems that he has forgotten what he said.There was a reason for Heng Shanyong's pessimism and despair. Originally, although the Eleventh Army was enemies on three sides, as long as Xuzhou was still under the control of the Japanese army, it would be a big deal. He could choose to break through to the northeast.But now, with the gate of Xuzhou being closed, he knew that he was really doomed this time.Yokoyama is not afraid of death, but once he considers that he may not be able to teach the Chinese people a painful lesson, his heart can't help but sink into the dark abyss.

After the initiative to attack was frustrated, the Eleventh Army, together with the Korean Communist Army and the Peace Army under its jurisdiction, had a total strength of only about 15.In contrast to the Chinese army, in the east is the Eighth Army led by Shaoshuai Zhang, with a total of 8 troops; in the south is an independent army under the command of He Zhengjiang, with a total of 5 troops; The battle line has reached Xiaogan.

The huge disparity in troop strength was one of the reasons why Hengshan was afraid, but the disparity in equipment made him completely disheartened.The regiment-organized rocket launchers, the brigade-organized heavy artillery, and the division-organized chariot units, plus almost every battle, the Chinese Air Force will send fighter planes to assist, but the combat power of the Eleventh Army is declining. The fight had just started, and the Chinese army's ground offensive hadn't officially started yet, and there was no one on the Japanese positions.

Suddenly, a battle report caught his attention—"Your Excellency, Xiantao's Hashimoto brigade has collectively lost..."

"What?!" He stood up and slammed his fist on the table, blood dripping from his fist without realizing it.The surrender of the formation of the brigade seems to be the first time in the history of the imperial army.Of course, except for the Fourth Division of Osaka.

"A telegram from Major Hashimoto himself, he said, he said that they have done their best for the empire, but the empire has abandoned them..." the staff officer read, his voice getting lower and lower.

"Hashimoto bastard, I'm going to kill him!" Yokoyama shouted.Then he quickly issued an order, saying: "Telegram the frontline departments to never allow this kind of incident to happen. If, if there is another similar incident, then the immediate superior will be held accountable."

Ten minutes later, Ouyang Yun, the Chongqing Supreme Command, also learned of the news.Chen Cheng personally came to report the news to him and gave him some advice: "It can be seen that the morale of the Japanese army is low. I thought there was no need to enforce battlefield discipline. Yourong's captives may completely break down the resistance of the Japanese army. Army casualties."

Ouyang Yun thought about it, but he didn't fully accept his opinion. He said, "Treat them by category. Those who came to China before 41 years should be held incommunicado. Other devils can be treated like prisoners of war."

Chen Cheng looked at him and asked, "Is it an official order?"

Ouyang Yun smiled and said, "Of course it's a formal order."

"Then issue it in the name of the High Command."

"No, it is enough in my name alone."

Chen Cheng shook his head: "Chief, I request the right to sign."

Ouyang Yun looked at him and smiled again, but this time his smile was much brighter. "Just do as you say," he said.

Chen Cheng didn't smile, but when he looked at Ouyang Yun again, both of them felt the tacit understanding they had before.
