Anti war ranger

Chapter 67 Powerless
After solving the women's academy, the situation seemed to have opened up, and Lu Yuan, who had only leisure time at this moment, finally had time to meet with Luca. "Lu, your recent actions seem too obvious. I heard that the national government has begun to notice you. Do you need our consulate to come forward and warn the intelligence department of the national government?" Luca always speaks straightforwardly. Going off topic and not giving Lu Yuan a chance to exchange pleasantries.

Was he being targeted by the Kuomintang's intelligence department?The news that Luka informed Lu Yuan stunned for a moment, and then smiled at Luka. "It doesn't matter, I don't have anything to be caught by them here. I'm saying that some of the things I prepared here have been moved to other places. Even if they broke in and searched, I'm afraid they couldn't find anything interesting. Things." Lu Yuan's refusal did not seem to be beyond Lu Ka's expectations, seeing that Lu Yuan's expression remained the same, Lu Ka took out some information from his purse and handed it to Lu Yuan.

"Lu, you know the current relationship between the empire and Japan, so I can easily receive some information about the Japanese army here. I know you are worried about the development of the situation, so I also brought you some trends of the Japanese army in Shanghai this time. You can use it as a reference." In order to attract Lu Yuan's attention, what Luka said just now was actually a bit explicit, and Lu Yuan also expressed his gratitude to Luka in due course.

In order to carry out the plan to stick to Nanjing, the national government has already imposed a news blockade on Nanjing. Whether it is ordinary civilians or government internal staff, they actually don't know much about the changes in the war in Shanghai.Lu Yuan flipped through the information brought by Luka and only took a rough look, the expression on his face had completely changed. On November 11th, that is, yesterday, the Japanese army once again mobilized heavy troops to land from Jinshanwei to attack the Shanghai National Army. Implement a large encirclement.

Although Shanghai was still under the control of the national army at this time, the actual strength of the Japanese army around Shanghai had reached 20. After the Japanese army landed at Jinshanwei, they could outflank the rear of the Chinese army in Songhu with a large force.According to the Battle of Songhu in Lu Yuan's memory, after seeing this latest information, Lu Yuan knew that the Battle of Songhu was about to end with the complete defeat of the Shanghai National Army. "Luka, thank you for bringing me this information, thank you very much." The Battle of Songhu is about to end, and Lu Yuan knows that a more tragic pursuit is about to begin. Hundreds of thousands of national troops are about to leave Shanghai aimlessly. The battlefield retreated, and the Japanese army would pursue them along the way.

Lu Yuan knew that the National Army at this time lacked weapons, ammunition, and even supplies, but these were not reasons for the National Army to retreat like a mountain. Hundreds of thousands of National Army troops were unable to communicate properly because of poor command and mismanagement. The retreat turned into a big retreat, which also cost tens of thousands of elite national troops in vain.Xu Shi saw that Lu Yuan was in a bad mood, so Luka left immediately, leaving only Lu Yuan in endless grief.

It's not that Lu Yuan didn't want to prevent all this from happening in the past, but now he is just a commoner with no roots. Facing the various decisions made by the big bosses at all levels of the National Government, how can a commoner with no power and power stop him? All this happens.What he is doing for the civilians in Nanjing right now is Lu Yuan's greatest performance. If not, Lu Yuan may have already appeared on the battlefield alone.

No matter how lost Lu Yuan was, the situation continued to deteriorate over time. On November 11, after the Japanese army's follow-up troops successfully landed at Jinshanwei, the Shanghai Dispatch Army and the 6th Army jointly established the Central China Front Army, which was unified by Matsui Iwane. command.The Japanese base camp stipulates that its combat area is east of the line connecting Suzhou-Jiaxing. The mission is to dampen the enemy's will to fight, and to end the battle, cooperate with the navy to destroy the national army near Shanghai.Afterwards, the 10th and 6th divisions of the Japanese army rushed towards the Songjiang and Shanghai-Hangzhou railways respectively according to the pre-deployment.

On the night of November 11, the Japanese army broke into Songjiang City from the east, south, and west with powerful firepower. The 8th Army of the National Army was wiped out, and the Japanese army occupied Songjiang.Immediately, the troops were divided into two groups, one along the east bank of Taihu Lake, passing through Zhejiang and AH to Nanjing, and the main force directed to Fengjing Town, Jiaxing and Pingwang. On the 67th, the Japanese army cut off the Shanghai-Hangzhou railway and highway. At the same time, the Japanese 9th Division, under the command of Nakajima Kemogo, successfully landed at Baimaokou in Taicang, Jiangsu. The forward pointed directly at the Beijing-Shanghai railway and highway, forming a closed Potential.The six divisions of the Japanese army on the north bank of the Suzhou River had forcibly crossed the Suzhou Creek as early as October 16. At this time, they quickly approached the Japanese troops landing on the two roads, and the 6 national troops in the Songhu area were in a dangerous situation.

Beginning on November 11, the Japanese army repelled the sporadic resistance of the Shanghai National Army one after another, and successively captured Hongqiao Airport, Longhua, Fengjing, and Qingpu. On November 9, the Japanese army advanced to the banks of the Suzhou River, and the national army units in Nanshi and Pudong were ordered to withdraw from their positions.On the same day, SH Mayor Yu Hongjun issued a letter to the citizens, announcing the fall of Shanghai, the largest city in the Far East.The three-month battle of Songhu came to an end. For the citizens of SH, the suffering did not end because of the end of the war, but for the citizens of NJ, the letter to the citizens 11 kilometers away seemed to have pierced the sky. .

Hundreds of thousands of national army troops were eager to evacuate from the Songhu area. Faced with the pursuit of the Japanese army, the retreating national army was quickly out of order. Many national army soldiers even threw away their weapons, took off their uniforms and mixed in among the refugees middle.Time waits for no one, it is already mid-November, and Lu Yuan knows that there is only one month left before the start of the war in Nanjing. "Principal Wu, I don't want to explain too much. Shanghai has been lost. The Japanese army is following the national army troops that have withdrawn from Shanghai and is attacking Nanjing. You'd better hurry up and persuade the school board to move the school. Don't waste it in vain." There is plenty of time now.”

Seeing Wu Yifang and Wei Telin again, Lu Yuan no longer had the good temper he had when they met last time. As soon as they met, he asked Wu Yifang and Wei Telin to lobby the school board to move the school to Jiangbei. "Lu, relocating the school is not as simple as just talking about it. There are many aspects involved, especially the relocation of the school is very troublesome. We know that what you said may be correct, but we cannot guarantee that the school will be relocated. The board of directors can agree to relocate the school." Wu Yifang, who is the principal of the women's college, is still reasonable with Vautrin glaring at her.

It's just that Wu Yifang's answer did not satisfy Lu Yuan. He patted the table and shouted, "Principal Wu, do you really want to see your students become playthings of the Japanese army? Do you know that Suzhou is already dead?" How many people were killed? How many schools were destroyed by the Japanese army?" Seeing that his words still could not change Wu Yifang and Vautrin's attitude, Lu Yuan stood up in extreme loneliness, but whispered to them before leaving.

"Maybe you don't believe what I'm saying now, but it doesn't matter, you will see and hear it with your own ears soon. There are many students in Suzhou City among the refugees, I believe they will appear soon In the city of Nanjing, I think you will soon know what happened in Suzhou." Lu Yuan's words made Wu Yifang and Vautrin puzzled, but they both sensed from the change in Lu Yuan's tone. Something is wrong.

"Ignore their objections. Starting today, we will do our best to transport the food and supplies we have stored to the women's college for storage. The place here is big enough. As long as we plan properly when we arrive, the refugees here will never be worse than those in Xiaofenqiao. less." Wu Yifang and Vautrin refused to help him put pressure on the school board, so Lu Yuan had to plan for the worst. If the Women's College failed to withdraw across the river before the Japanese army attacked the city, then he would leave here. Build a second refugee camp.

Time passed day by day, and on November 11, the national government suddenly announced that the capital would be moved to Chongqing. This news became the straw that instantly oppressed the psychological defense of many NJ citizens.Although the newly appointed Nanjing City Defense Commander Tang Shengzhi threatened to live and die with Nanjing, many NJ citizens fled to Jiangbei with their families, but there are still many NJ citizens who have entered a wait-and-see state. After all, there are still a lot of people in the city. national army.

"Perhaps at this time, we should do something. Just waiting is too much." Lu Yuan, who had already prepared everything, was depressed. It was a big trick, and many civilians who were planning to leave Nanjing were patient again, but these were not what Lu Yuan wanted to see.With Lu Yuan's proposal and Hogg's execution, some leaflets advocating the brutality of the Japanese army began to appear in the already panic-stricken city of Nanjing. With the appearance of these leaflets, some timid NJ citizens finally chose to cross the river. escape.

Leaflets encouraging citizens to escape across the river appeared in the city for no reason. Tang Shengzhi, the commander of Nanjing City Defense, was naturally furious, but he did not find out who distributed the leaflets.As the time approached the end of November, with the retreat of the national army and the successive fall of Wuxi, Changzhou, Guangde and other places, the intention of the Japanese army to attack Nanjing was already evident.As the Japanese army approached further, there was another day and night frenzy across the river at the Xiaguan Wharf outside Nanjing City. At this time, the Women’s College finally made the decision to relocate the school.
"It's night, it's already too late. If you just screen and transport teachers and students across the river, I can provide you with boats right now. But you still have to sort out the school's supplies and a lot of books and equipment, which will cost a lot of money." The Japanese will not give you this kind of time at all.” Facing Wu Yifang and Vautrin who came to the door, Lu Yuan, who had already calmed down at this time, expressed powerlessness, which made Wu Yifang and Vautrin feel helpless. I really regret that I didn't follow Lu Yuan's advice and make plans and preparations early.
