Chapter 222 Everyone is Selfish
"Dad, please have tea! You have suffered outside these days!"
After dinner, Yang Fan had just gotten up and sat on the sofa not far away. Yang Xueyan brought a cup of steaming fragrant tea, and then looked at Yang Fan with admiration and said:
"I heard from my aunt that you have killed many Japanese devils who have committed many evil deeds. You will always be a hero who stands tall in Xueer's heart!"
"Haha, Xue'er is so good! Come on, let Dad take a good look. Our Xue'er has grown a lot taller again!"
The daughter's childish voice and clear admirational eyes, and the happy and fulfilling family joy make Mr. Yang feel like he had eaten honey in her heart, and it was sweet from the inside out!
After getting tired of her daughter for a while, Yang Fan then smiled and came to his father-in-law Wu Rongbang who was sitting down and asked, "Dad, how are the family going recently? How are the progress in all aspects?"
Wu Rongbang quickly put down the teacup in his hand, then said with a solemn expression: "It's all okay, everything is running normally, nothing special!
However, nearly 20,000 veterans who have been withdrawn from the Songhu battlefield recently have been recruited. They seem a little nervous and busy in all aspects, and it will take some time to adapt and adjust!
In addition, Yang Chengliang, Wu Kexiang, Ren Yixiong and others are still recruiting soldiers outside, and it is estimated that they will eventually attract about 40,000 people!
I am really worried that there are too many people to digest them. These are the veterans of the Hundred Wars, but it is not that easy to manage them well!
And if we recruit soldiers with such a big fanfare, the superiors will definitely not be happy. Will it cause any trouble?"
Wu Rongbang was not worried about the troubles of ordinary soldiers, but because many were recruited by hundreds of people in the system, and there were also many colonel commanders!
Wu Rongbang was worried that these senior officials were difficult to manage, and at the same time he was also worried about the reactions of Han Fuju and Chairman Jiang!
"Haha, don't worry, even if he is a one-stop position, he has to keep it for me! Don't be afraid of big-bellied men when opening a shop. The more people, the better! Nowadays, there are only people who can be guns!"
Yang Fan smiled indifferently. At most, he would be able to stand up completely in half a year. At that time, let alone boss Han and Chairman Jiang, even the Japanese devils would be in trouble!
Seeing that Yang Fan was confident, Wu Rongbang stopped talking and asked, "I want to know what plans and plans do you have next?
Alas, although I don’t leave my home, I also know that the situation after the defeat of the Battle of Songhu is extremely difficult, and maybe the Japanese will fight to Nanjing in one go!”
Yang Fan sighed softly, "It is impossible to leave everything to fate!"
"Ah, Brother Fan, if you hear that, will Nanjing be captured by the Japanese?"
At this time, Wu Juan walked over with her belly and looked at Yang Fan with a sad face. Although she didn't have much affection for Nanjing, it was also the capital of China.
Yang Fan nodded and said, "This is the current situation. If Chairman Jiang could wake up early and retreat the troops to the national defense line as soon as possible, Nanjing might be able to defend himself! But now he is powerless to make the situation come true!"
"Ah? Then we are going to destroy our country?"
Wu Rongbang's expression changed drastically, because in his opinion, the fall of the capital was equivalent to destroying the country!
"Then can we help?"
Wu Juan couldn't help but look at Yang Fan. There was nothing in her heart that Yang Fan could not do!
"Shandong will soon become the key direction of the Japanese devils' attack. We are not strong enough now! Those who are capable of helping the world and keeping the poor alone. Now we can only protect ourselves!
But don’t worry, Chairman Jiang will not stay in Nanjing and wait for death, he will soon move the capital to Chongqing! Our vast China will never destroy our country!”
Yang Fan shook his head gently. He had carefully considered this issue many times. Although he could lead the independent division to aid Nanjing, what about?
There are so many important officials in Nanjing who can command themselves?
I don’t want the anti-Japanese war base I worked hard on and I just gave it to the Japanese?
Do countless relatives and friends and people under their rule allow the Japanese devils to slaughter?
Sorry, people are selfish!
Yang Fan is not a saint, and he has no way to selflessly dedicate himself to the public. Therefore, the first priority at present is to seize the opportunity to recruit soldiers and horses, and then quickly digest the results of the war to strengthen himself!
Just as Yang Fan was "making a fortune in the country" and he kept recruiting soldiers and everyone was happy and unwilling to Shu, the domestic situation was deteriorating rapidly!
After completing the mission, Yang Fan could lead his troops to retreat quickly to the rear, but the main force of the 700,000 national troops gathered in the Songhu area could not quickly evacuate!
Although Chairman Jiang issued a retreat order on the evening of November 8, it is not easy for a large army of 700,000 to evacuate from the battlefield!
Although the National Army Command has formulated a complete retreat plan for withdrawal money, such as which troops were cut off, which troops were blocked on the Taicang and Qingpu lines, and which troops quickly occupied the Wufu and Xicheng lines, have made detailed arrangements!
However, the time Chairman Jiang left for retreat was too short, only one day!
The communication methods of the National Army were too backward. Even the most elite Central Army, the radio station was only equipped to the division level!
Local troops such as the Gui Army and the Sichuan Army are only equipped to first-level military units!
Therefore, combat units at all levels under each unit can only be transmitted downwards by communication soldiers at level one and one level.
However, the most deadly thing is the command system building a bed and stacking houses, with too many levels:
Command-The Third War Zone (Jiang Jian, Gu Zhutong Deputy)-Foreign Command (Chen Cheng)-Left Front Army (Zhang Zhizhong), Central Front Army (Zhu Shaoliang), Right Front Army (Zhang Fakui)-Army-Legislative Army-Army-Terminal.
In other words, if the command from the commander reaches the division, six transmissions will be made!
In addition, there are many government departments who have gone beyond their level, especially the communication is not effective and the upper and lower levels are not well communicated, not to mention that some grassroots have lost control and contact.
Some troops have a deep background, so they get the exact information from the command headquarters as soon as possible and start retreating overnight!
Seeing this, other troops ran over and asked, "What? The commander has issued a retreat order? Let's retreat quickly!"
The order has not been issued on the Shangfeng?
I can’t even care about my life, so I can’t care about so much. Anyway, the Orthodox Commander has ordered that I have to retreat sooner or later!
If you die, no one wants to give others a custody!
?After more than three months of fierce battle, the national army on the battlefield of Shanghai had been exhausted and waiting for the order to retreat, and everyone was supported by a breath.
When this anger was released, the 700,000 army collapsed instantly and the situation was completely out of control!
The originally planned retreat plan turned into a paper talk. All the troops retreated when they heard the news and rushed back!
Especially the Japanese devils relied on the air force's advantage and continuously launched aboard the railways, highways and bridges that the national army fled, further aggravated the chaos and escape of the national army, and eventually formed a large-scale stampede!!
How chaotic was the end?
As the commander-in-chief of the 19th Army, Xue Yue was left with only a few guards. The Japanese who were almost chased were captured alive. In the end, they relied on Fushui to save their lives.
