Shang Zhen and the others continued to march southwest with admiration for the Sichuan army.
But just after they passed through a group of houses, they suddenly saw that the road ahead was crowded with Chinese troops!
How many troops does China have? I think that when the Northeast Army retreated to Jinzhou from the Northeast Army, they entered the pass in trains. The number of troops was not small.
But this time, the number of troops on the road this time has left Shang Zhen and others stunned.
There is no beginning in the south and no end in the north. Although there are soldiers marching forward, there are also countless wounded staggering on the road.
"What the hell is going on?" Mr. Wang was a little confused. To be honest, as the oldest veteran, Mr. Wang saw so many troops for the first time.
There are so many people, just like the endless weeds in the northeastern wilderness!
Looking at the endless flow of people and carriages, Shang Zhen and the others instantly felt that they themselves had become extraordinarily small.
"There are water networks all around, and there is only one road, and they are all crowded here." Shang Zhen said after scanning the surrounding terrain in shock.
This is the Songhu area, which is close to the sea, has low-lying terrain and dense water networks. Such a large-scale military retreat must have crowded the roads.
Yes, it is a retreat. Now Shang Zhen has judged that this is a large-scale retreat of the army.
Shang Zhen did not know that the Chinese army had invested nearly 800,000 troops in the Battle of Songhu, but he knew that judging from the current situation, Guanshan must have lost another one, which meant that the Songhu area had lost another Otherwise, how could such a scene happen?
"What should we do?" At this time, Mr. Wang was already affected by the retreating people. He couldn't make up his mind and asked Shang Zhen.
Hundreds of thousands of people were retreating, but these thirty or so people had to go in the opposite direction. This took courage.
"Let's get on the highway first, and let's go south." Shang Zhen said helplessly.
"Aren't we going to find the big army?" Little Dustpan asked.
"It's early to go, but we can't wade through the water to find it." Shang Zhen replied.
As far as they can see, the area they see is filled with water nets and rice fields besides the flow of people.
According to the instructions of the Sichuan Army division commander, Songjiang County should be to their southwest.
But now that there is water in the southwest, Shang Zhen and the others can only walk on the road and then find a fork in the road.
Shang Zhen and the others just got on the road and temporarily joined such a retreating, more like a retreating army.
And just when Shang Zhen was thinking about asking these soldiers, who also had yellow skin, black hair and dark eyes, about the situation on the Songhu battlefield, someone took the initiative to talk to them.
"Brother, which army are you from?" A man squeezed into Shang Zhen's group.
One look at the man's attire, Shang Zhen knew that this guy must be from the Central Army, and he was dressed like an officer.
But judging from his official title, this guy is not a high-ranking official. He is probably just a platoon leader and company commander or something.
He speaks with a southern accent and learns the northern Mandarin, but due to the pronunciation of his mother tongue, it sounds weird.
"We are from the 67th Army, brother, which army are you from?" Qian Chuan'er was accosted and asked again.
“It doesn’t matter which army we are from, just know that we are from the Central Army!
You are from the 67th Army, ah, then you are from the Northeastern Army. "The officer who was about the same age as Shang Zhen and the others said.
"Looking at how you're dressed, we should call you sir, right?" Qian Chuan'er asked tentatively.
"Sir, I'm just a bastard. I'm in charge of logistics. We are brothers from all over the world. We are all brothers!" the guy said with a small mouth.
Obviously, this person has a familiar character.
"I wonder what your last name is?" Qian Chuan'er continued to chat with that person.
"My surname is Qian, my surname is Laishun, Qian Laishun!" The man announced his family name with a smile.
His expression seemed a little inconsistent with the solemnity of the entire army as they retreated.
Seeing this guy's virtue, Qin Chuan, who was behind Shang Zhen's team, whispered in Hou Kanshan's ear: "This little bitch has such a loud mouth, he can bluff for nothing. If you were If you haven’t been exposed, your appearance will be as good as this bitch’s.”
Hou Kanshan seemed to have not heard Qin Chuan's provocation, his face was expressionless and he did not answer.
In fact, if you are not an acquaintance, Hou Kanshan's expression would be just two words to everyone - ferocious.
At this time, Qian Chuan'er in front was already smiling: "What a family!"
The eldest brother’s name is Qian Laishun, my surname is also Qian, my name is Qian Chuan’er, Qian Chuan’er means two strings of money each. "
"Oh, there really are such coincidences in the world!" Qian Laishun laughed even more.
However, he turned around and looked around, and quickly put the smile back on his face.
It seems that he is not stupid.
At this time, we were in the midst of a large-scale retreat. It cannot be said that everyone was crying and sad, but he was the only one who was smiling. Isn't that just looking for trouble?
"Brother, we just came here. Can you tell us how the fighting is going on the Songhu battlefield? I think all our people are retreating?" Qian Chuan'er asked in a low voice.
As soon as he heard Qian Chuan's question, Qian Laishun glanced around furtively, and when he saw that there were no officers around, he said: "My brother, you are asking the right person! "
So Qian Laishun really told Zhang Zhen and others what he knew about the situation.
Qian Laishun is very talkative and eloquent. The feeling he gives Shang Zhen and others is that Qian Laishun is like a water bottle with a lot of water in it. You don't have to pour it out, he will pour it out by himself!
But what Qian Lianshun said next made Shang Zhen and the others tremble with fear.
"I'm not telling you, do you think we can defeat the Japanese?
The Japanese have planes, cannons, tanks, and naval guns, and the shells they fire are just like the bullets we usually fire, there are just so many! "
"You want to say that our Chinese army also has infantry, tanks, armored vehicles, and artillery, but the coordination is not good!
More than 20 tanks rushed up, but the infantry did not follow. As a result, those 20 tanks were all blown up by the Japanese!
Oh my god, it’s all for nothing! "
"Now that we're done, let's talk about the infantry.
The infantry was separated from the tanks in front, and as a result, a battalion was blocked in a small alley by the Japanese.
The Japanese soldiers had a tank in front, a tank behind them, and set up machine guns next to them. In this sudden attack, a battalion, at least there were more than 500 lives, and they were just gone! "
"Don't just build up other people's ambitions and destroy your own prestige. How are those little Sichuan guys doing?" Qian Chuan'er looked around and asked in a low voice.
Of course Qian Chuan'er also understood that if what Qian Laishun said now were heard by the Military Justice Department, it would be enough to kill Qian Laishun. This is called disrupting the morale of the military!
"Why are you mentioning them? Do you know about the German Mechanics?" Qian Laishun asked in a low voice.
Shang Zhen and the others naturally shook their heads. How could they know what a moral weapon master was?
"That's the lifeline of that old man in Nanjing. We've sent him there, but it doesn't work!" Qian Laishun lowered his voice so much that Shang Zhen and the others stretched their necks to hear clearly.
"They are all using good rifles and machine guns, eh? The equipment of you guys is not bad either!" Qian Laisen then noticed that Shang Zhen's weapons were also not bad. In addition to flower machine box cannons, there were also Japanese Type 38 rifle.
"Don't say we're talking about fighting, talk about this." Qian Chuan'er reminded at the side.
"Oh, the weapons of German weapon masters are good anyway, but that's not good. No matter how good your weapons are, can you still withstand the indiscriminate bombardment of Japanese aircraft and cannons?
That old man was really bleeding! It was precisely because he was bleeding that the Yunnan Army, Guizhou Army, Northwest Army, Hunan Army and Gui Army all rushed forward.
But what's the use of that?
Then when we charge upward, hundreds of people from the entire company and battalion will charge upward. This style of fighting is enough to fight us Chinese ourselves, but can you fight this style of fighting with the Japanese?
As soon as someone fires a cannonball, your arms and legs will be blown away!
How do you think this battle should be fought? No matter how many Chinese you have, you can still have bullets and artillery shells to pile them up at the expense of human lives! Men Gongzi's brains for directing battles are so frightening! "
When he said this, Qian Laisi became so angry that Qian Chuan'er reminded him carefully: "Brother, don't be angry, don't be angry!"
