Chapter 637 Breakthrough (fourteen)
The time that is not accompanied by gunpowder smoke and death all the time is passing very slowly.Every minute, bloody soldiers fell, and their blood stained every inch of Nanjing City.The Sichuan Army, the Northeast Army, and the Xuebing Army, these three private armed forces with the color of warlords in the eyes of the people, have become the absolute main force to defend the capital Nanjing. It has to be said that this pair is determined to "one country, one political party, one "Leader" and the power it represents is a great irony.

The hour hand slowly pointed to 05:30, centered on Xiaguan Wharf and Pukou Wharf, the battle became unprecedentedly fierce again. After the Japanese army completed the deployment, the 3rd Division, 6th Division, 9th Division, The 13th Division, the 16th Division, the 18th Division, the 114th Division, the Taiwan Infantry Brigade, the Third Fleet Marine Corps, and three brigade-sized puppet troops, with the strength of nearly 8 divisions, were in the inner city of Nanjing. , Xiaguan Shuimian, Chuxian, and Dangtu launched an attack from four directions.Among them, the two regiments of the Marine Corps attacked the Xiaguan Wharf and the Pukou Wharf respectively; the 18th Division and the Taiwan Infantry Brigade intersected on the Chupu Line, trying to cut off the connection between the Second Order and the troops left behind in Pukou; 114 The North Korean puppet army of the division and a brigade threatened Hexian County from the direction of Dangtu, and cooperated with the 16th Division that threatened Wuhu from the direction of Xuancheng. The connection between the two sequences.

The total strength of the eight divisions of the Japanese army was nearly 18. In the direction of the Xuebing Army, except for the relatively light losses in the first rank, it was almost full-staffed. The three divisions in the second and third ranks each suffered certain battle losses. The third school with the most serious losses has more than [-] people, and now there are only more than [-] people.

Now, the combined strength of the three ranks is no more than [-], which is a huge gap compared with the Japanese army. At first glance, it seems that they are almost powerless to fight.

Since breaking through Wangfu Lane, Ouyang Yun's telegrams have never stopped, and most of them are enemy reports from various troops: Where did the certain division arrive, where did the certain brigade capture, and where did the certain brigade capture? Where did the Ministry go.To his relief, Lin Baiyin sent two telegrams one after another, one was a location report, and the other was a combat readiness report.In both telegrams, there was no explanation for his actions in Pukou, but the previous ones were enough for Ouyang Yun to feel at ease with him.The Fourth Xue Army is a member of the Central Committee. This is something that the senior officials of the Xue Bing Army have tacitly understood. However, this does not prevent everyone from fighting against Little Japan side by side.Lin Baiyin's position as the commander of the [-]th Division was certainly due to Ouyang Yun and Lao Jiang's factors, but also due to his personal efforts. He must be able to distinguish the priorities.Among the telegrams that flew like snowflakes, five were from the Guangzhou base camp, and among them, four were signed by Mu Jiandie himself.The content involved in it is all about the whereabouts of the elite troops of the Central Army who evacuated Nanjing first.There is also a telegram, which is also the most confidential, from Xia Wenyun.This telegram is too important to Ouyang Yun, because it not only mentioned above: the purpose of the Japanese base camp to combine the Shanghai Dispatch Army and the Tenth Army into the Central China Front Army is to go deep into the hinterland, and to gather troops to encircle block the Nanjing defenders; secondly, it is recommended that Ouyang Yun focus on the north and slightly south when drawing up the retreat route.Because the Japanese army has plans to form a new army, strike while the iron is hot, and go to Fujian and Guangdong in one go.

In Ouyang Yun's hand, he was clutching the telegram from Xia Wenyun.

Combining all the contents of the telegrams confirmed such a status quo.At present, only on the line from Nanjing to Wuhu and the Yangtze River, the troops led by Ouyang Yun have become a lone army.

Repeatedly reading and rereading the telegram sent by Xia Wenyun, Ouyang Yun raised his head and glanced in the direction of Nanjing City. What was lagging behind now was a regiment of the 26th Division.The Japanese army was pressing too hard, relying on their numerical superiority, and continued to attack without any tactics at all. It was clear that they wanted to fight for consumption.The natural danger of the Yangtze River restricted the speed of retreat. Although Ouyang Yun was extremely unwilling, he could only be led by the nose by the little devil. Fighting all the way in the city, now, one and a half brigades of troops have been consumed in the city of Nanjing.

"Boom!" The artillerymen of the Japanese army showed their power again. This time, the artillery regiment belonging to the Third Xue Division immediately launched a counterattack without the slightest hesitation, and the rumbling sound of the artillery rang out.Amidst the explosion, the troops were fine and were retreating in an orderly manner, while the last group of refugees exploded like a hornet's nest.Crowds ran wild all over the mountains and plains, and in front of the stray bullets, God knows if they would be able to survive this national mourning safely.

Since retreating from Wangfu Lane, Ouyang Yun has been silent for more than an hour.For more than an hour, besides reading the telegram, he also read the map. Now, he is holding the telegram sent by Xia Wenyun tightly, his brows are tightly furrowed, and there is a hint of hesitation in his expression.

The battle situation was much worse than he expected, and it also exceeded the hints given to him by that time and space.

The number of Japanese troops who besieged Nanjing changed suddenly, and the number doubled. Moreover, after the adjustment of the Japanese army, the originally smooth return route was now full of traps——Pukou, Hexian, and Wuhu. Cut off your way home.Ouyang Yun is not afraid of death, and he will not stick to formalities, otherwise, he may have returned to Guangdong now, or he is still fighting to the death in Nanjing.

The reason why he chose to stay was only due to a plot. Now it seems that although he has not completed it satisfactorily, at least he has gained a lot.In the current city of Nanjing, there should be less than [-] people left behind.More importantly, the original rout did not take place. Be it the Central Army or the various warlord forces, except for the Xuebing Army, the Northeast Army, and a part of the Sichuan Army, all others have jumped out of the quagmire of Nanjing.Of course, now it seems that the price is also huge, and the mixed army of students who went out of Fujian and Guangdong is very likely to be destroyed.

One of the most important reasons why Ouyang Yun didn't want to die was because he was reluctant to give up the foundation he had worked so hard to create.The Xuebing Army is different from any other form of armed forces in the country. It has strong characteristics of the times. Ouyang Yun can't imagine that if the host is changed, it can still exist in its current form. ?
However, from the perspective of strength, the Xuebing Army is still immature. However, in the long run, the Xuebing Army will definitely grow into a decisive force.

No!I must return to Guangdong alive!Old General Chen spent so much effort to teleport himself to this time and space, isn't he trying to completely change the fate of China?

Maybe it's time to be a villain again.

……

Ever since Ouyang Yun fell silent, Liu Zheliang raised his heart.He stayed by Ouyang Yun's side for a long time, so he knew a little bit about his little chief.What he was most afraid of seeing was the appearance of the little officer at this moment, because according to past experience, once the little officer behaved abnormally, a storm would inevitably follow.

Before departure, Bai Liusu, Pan Meiren, Jiang Shuren, Li Tieshu and others all told him individually that they must ensure Ouyang Yun's safety. For this reason, they even gave him a squadron of soldiers from the Spike Special Forces Brigade.The soldiers of this squadron are usually hidden among civilians and other troops directly under the idle army, and only he can mobilize them.

Liu Zheliang has already made preparations. If something unexpected happens, he will directly use this power to kidnap the little chief.Of course, if he really did this, he would bear the thunderous wrath of the little chief afterwards.

He was engaged in a tense battle between heaven and man, when Ouyang Yun suddenly called him: "Zhe Liang, go and call Huang Ye and the others."

Huang Ye and the others are staff officers directly under the army, and the lowest rank is also a major. At this moment, these graduates from the first phase of Renqiu Military Academy are crowded into a truck and discussing something nervously over a map.

Hearing Ouyang Yun's call, several people immediately asked the driver to stop, then jumped off and ran towards Ouyang Yun's off-road vehicle.

Ouyang Yun had already asked the driver to park the car on the side of the road to let the large troops behind pass by. When he saw them approaching, he looked over one by one, silently recited the names of these people in his heart, and waited for everyone to stand in front of him. Standing at attention and calling the report, he asked straight to the point: "How is it? Is there any good battle plan?"

Huang Ye and the others shook their heads in shame, Huang Ye said: "There is no better plan than the previous one, but maybe the retreat route can be changed."

The corner of Ouyang Yun's mouth curled up, showing a faint smile: "Tell me."

This time out of Fujian and Guangdong, the mixed army did not set up a special staff department. These staff officers all accompanied the army in the name of serving as civilian cadres.Ouyang Yun's original plan was just to give them a chance to practice, to cultivate talents for the future army construction, but now he was forced to send them to the front line.

Huang Ye rubbed his nose, to be honest, although Ouyang Yun has always been very kind, but due to the huge difference in status, small officers like Huang Ye would feel nervous for no reason when they saw this commander who was not much older than him.He said: "Commander, after our discussion, we feel that we should perhaps abandon the retreat route along the Yangtze River, instead go to Chu County, and then go to Xuzhou."

Ouyang Yun opened his eyes a little wider, he seemed very interested in this proposal, he fixed his sight on Huang Ye, and asked, "Why?"

Huang Ye licked his lips and said: "According to the information, a considerable part of the Central Army and local troops that originally built the Nanjing line of defense have assembled in the Xuzhou area. If there is no accident, there will definitely be a big battle around Xuzhou. Battle. Xuzhou's strategic position is important, and the Central Army will definitely try to defend it. As long as the battle of Xuzhou does not start, the troops that have assembled there will not evacuate. This can just cause the Japanese army to misunderstand that we are going there to meet with the main force. Xuzhou As an important railway transit station, after we get there, our retreat will be relatively safe and much faster. In this way, our retreat route seems to be far away from the Fujian-Guangdong base area, but in fact, it takes about the same amount of time.”
