The explosions of "boom" and "boom" continued, and this time the sound was not faint, but very close at hand.
Each explosion will produce a puff of smoke, and in that puff of smoke, some gravel and dirt will fly up and finally fall down.
In the hills, snowy fields and valleys, there were countless officers and soldiers of the Northeast Army running towards the Great Wall. Some unlucky officers and soldiers happened to be at the blast point of the artillery shells, so some figures fell to the ground.
Shang Zhen and a group of others were hiding on a high point and looking down, so they could have a clear view of the Northeast Army's retreat.
"Wolves are running like hogs, and they are like ants, mourning for our people's livelihood, so sad." At this time, on the boulder of a mountain, among the surprised eyes of other soldiers, a man was sighing with compassion.
"Xiucai, what are you talking about?" Erhanzi asked.
People who are uneducated especially admire the educated ones, and the idiot is honest and honest. He especially admires the scholar Chen Hanwen for being able to speak these elegant words.
"You know what wolf is and I won't explain it, but hog means pig.
It means that these soldiers of our Northeastern Army were driven around by the Japanese like wolves hunted by hunters or pigs caught by various families. " Chen Hanwen explained.
It's okay if he doesn't explain. When he explained like this, Mr. Wang's face suddenly fell down, and Shang Zhen also glared at Chen Hanwen.
"Shut your stinky mouth, what kind of bird fart are you farting?" Wang Lao Mao cursed, so Chen Hanwen shut up in embarrassment, but Wang Lao Mao did not forget to glance at Du Manji who was not far away. personal.
"Increase others' ambition and destroy your own prestige!" Qiu Bo, who was with Chen Hanwen at this time, also muttered dissatisfiedly.
yes! The Northeastern Army, which withdrew from Rehe Province, is now in a state of disarray. As Chen Hanwen described it, "the wolf is the root of the pig's sudden appearance."
But the thing is such a thing, but it must not be said like this!
As a soldier, you should be fighting at the front, but you are being chased away like a pig or a dog. Doesn't it sound good?
What's more, Shang Zhen and his group are now together with Du Man and the other five. There are both the Northeast Army and the Northwest Army. When Chen Hanwen belittles his own Northeast Army, what do the people in the Northwest Army think?
Although Shang Zhen and others took the initiative to defeat the Japanese army that intercepted the Northeast Army's rout, but because the Northeast Army had too many rout troops, the Japanese army was chasing after them. In the end, the Japanese army still caught up with these rout troops.
Now these broken soldiers are running towards the front line of the Great Wall.
Although the front line of the Great Wall is already under the control of the 29th Army of the Northwest Army, the 29th Army will never dare to let these broken troops rush into the fortress. Who knows whether there are any tricks by the Japanese army among those broken troops.
The 29th Army's method for dealing with these defeated troops was to have them gather at designated locations to wait for screening.
In this way, these defeated soldiers took the wrong path.
The problem is that the Japanese troops behind them have appeared, so there is a situation like this east of the entire line of the Great Wall. The defeated soldiers rush to the gathering place, but they are faced with the pursuit of the Japanese troops.
Shang Zhen and the others could have run further, but after Du Man discussed it with them, they chose to stay with Du Man and the others.
Du Man and the five of them were not defeated, they came out to investigate.
As for what they were investigating, there was no need to hide anything from Shang Zhen and the others.
The firepower of the Japanese army is too strong, and the 29th Army, as the Northwest Army, is weak in firepower. Therefore, the tactics the upper management of the Northwest Army wants to adopt is to fight the Japanese army at close range. It is better to fight hand-to-hand, rather than from a distance like this. Conduct artillery battle.
When Du Man mentioned this issue, Shang Zhen admired the 29th Army.
In Shang Zhen's opinion, standing up to be beaten is not the best way to defend himself.
The freezing snow has not yet melted, and no fortifications can be built. So taking the initiative to engage in close combat, hand-to-hand combat, and hand-to-hand combat with the Japanese is the best way to close the gap in strength between the enemy and ourselves.
Du Man and the others came out intending to investigate the deployment of Japanese troops and then go back to report.
What Shang Zhen didn't expect was that when he praised the Northwest Army's fighting style, it would arouse the dissatisfaction of Mr. Wang.
"Do you think you can withstand the Japanese bayonet with a big blade?" These were Wang Laomao's exact words.
When Wang Laomao said this, although Du Man didn't say anything, Du Man's soldiers were not happy either.
From the perspective of the 29th Army, which is the Northwest Army, at least we dared to fight to the death with the Japanese army. However, your Northeast Army was beaten by the Japanese army and ran away. Instead, you said that we were wrong. There is no reason!
So Du Man's soldiers refuted what Mr. Wang said. Because of this, the two groups who had fought together were half-red-faced!
Shang Zhen did not expect that he would create such a situation just by praising the 29th Army, so he could only remain silent.
On the way back, Shang Zhen had already heard from the defeated soldiers in Rehe that there was a reason why Rehe Province was lost so quickly.
The reason why the three northeastern provinces lost so quickly was because the higher authorities pursued a policy of non-resistance.
But Rehe Province was different. When the Japanese army attacked Rehe, both the top management of the Northeastern Army and the National Government's policy towards the Japanese army had changed, and they all required Rehe Province to resist.
You want to ask why?
Just because the Nationalist Government believes that the three northeastern provinces are the territory of a certain young marshal. If you don't defend your own territory, do you still expect us to contribute?
However, once the Japanese army occupied the three eastern provinces and moved to the fourth province, Rehe Province, the Nationalist Government could no longer sit still.
If the Japanese army occupied Jehol Province, they could launch a massive attack on North China, but this time they would not be able to resist.
But things went wrong again with the Chairman of Rehe Province.
The chairman of Jehol Province claimed to have more than 40,000 troops, but in fact he only had 20,000.
And what kind of soldier is that? His soldiers have no fighting ability at all!
When the chairman of Rehe Province was in charge of Rehe, he promoted various types of smoking among the people for his own selfish interests.
Just imagine that at the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, the Chinese were called the sick men of East Asia by foreigners. Wasn't it because of opium?
If people are exposed to something like smoke, their lives will be ruined, soldiers will lose their fighting ability, and officials at all levels will be motivated by their own selfish interests. How can anyone have any feelings for their family and country?
And the trouble doesn't end there. The chairman of Jehol Province said externally that he would resolutely resist the war, but in his heart he already had plans to cooperate with the Japanese army.
In order to protect his territory in Rehe, he resolutely refused to allow other armies to enter Rehe Province.
Although the young commander above him was suppressing him and taking corresponding measures to prevent him from surrendering, his troops were on the verge of collapse. On the contrary, the warlord who once dug the tomb of Cixi and Lafayette of the Qing Dynasty put up a desperate resistance. for a few days.
Now that the Japanese army has occupied the three eastern provinces, it has become a national war.
A country should work together as one, but now all the forces have their own ideas, and there is such a mess everywhere. The original strength is not as good as the Japanese army. It would be strange to say that Jehol Province is not lost!
