How could Shang Zhen know that while he was away, his group of soldiers were performing such a scene in that small foreign-style building.
At this time, he was standing in a bookstore, holding an unfolded map of Nanjing in his hand.
Now he looks calm. Although he is wearing a military uniform, he looks like a person who usually loves reading.
But just before, when he heard He Liang say that the epaulette with two gold stars actually represented that the Japanese officer who was killed was a lieutenant general, he was quite shocked.
Although Shang Zhen knew that the organization of the Japanese army was different from that of the Chinese army, he was not very clear.
On the way, He Liang gave him a brief explanation.
The strength of a Japanese division is close to 30,000, and the division leader's rank is lieutenant general.
The Japanese army's divisions and the Chinese divisions are completely different concepts. It's really not easy to compare this. Just because the Chinese army is now in chaos due to the numerous departments and management. It is difficult to say how many troops a division has. There are some with more than 20,000 people, and some with six or seven thousand people.
If one Chinese division has more than 9,000 men, then only three divisions of the Chinese army can match the strength of one Japanese division.
Taking into account the firepower factor, the strength of China's five divisions can barely block the attack of one Japanese division.
remember! What I'm talking about here is just barely. If there is a fierce battle between the two sides, the Chinese army will need seven or eight divisions to stop a Japanese division!
So from this perspective, it was not easy for the 67th Army of the Northeastern Army to block the Japanese army for three days in the Songhu Battle. It was reasonable to defeat the 67th Army as a result. bingo.
Shang Zhen only knew what this collar badge meant after listening to He Liang's story.
But now that he has taken out this collar badge, he will never take it back again.
This collar badge was not obtained by their group when they attacked the Japanese army, but was snatched back by other Northeastern Army troops. After all, it represents an honor for the Northeastern Army.
But what about honor? Just like the Northeast Army, grandma doesn't love what uncle doesn't love, and honor can't be used as food, so it's better to buy yourself some better guns and ammunition.
He followed He Liang to the station of the First Gendarmerie Regiment, so naturally it was not easy to go in with He Liang.
But after he waited for a while, He Liang sent someone out to tell him that the regiment leader was not at the regiment headquarters and asked him to wait patiently outside for a while.
The First Gendarmerie Regiment was stationed in the city. At this time, Shang Zhen noticed a bookstore next to the regiment headquarters, and he thought of getting a map.
After all, this group of people knew nothing about Nanjing.
Although Shang Zhen was just a low-level soldier, he felt intuitively that the situation in Nanjing City was not good this time.
The comparison of the enemy's and our own military strength is there. Isn't it to say that the ambition of others destroys one's own prestige? Shenyang, Harbin, Peiping, Tianjin, Shanghai, cities and mountains have all been lost. What is missing in Nanjing?
If you say that Nanjing City can definitely be defended, you are deceiving yourself and others!
Although he and He Liang saw a strong atmosphere of preparation for war in Nanjing on their way to the First Military Police Regiment, and there were even slogans in large characters "Defend Nanjing to the death" written on the walls on both sides of the street, but so what?
Shang Zhen is no longer a young boy. He knows that being beautiful in words is far inferior to being beautiful in action!
If the troops guarding Nanjing are only a unit of a certain department, regardless of their combat effectiveness, then they can naturally advance and retreat in the same direction.
Come on, everyone is united and carries it to death together.
Retreat, everyone retreat together, no one can tell anyone!
However, as far as Shang Zhen knew, many of the troops defending Nanjing were troops that had retreated from the Songhu battlefield, and they were from all branches of the army.
With such a unit, not to mention the commander in charge of guarding Nanjing, no one can achieve unimpeded battle orders. Can such a battle be won?
Moreover, on the way back, Shang Zhen heard from the defeated soldiers that there were originally two lines of defense from Songhu to Nanjing.
Shang Zhen didn't figure out what those two lines of defense were called, but there was no need to figure it out, just because some of the officers and soldiers who retreated from the Songhu battlefield wanted to stop the Japanese army, but the reinforced concrete fortifications were locked. And cannot be opened!
It is a joke to say that soldiers cannot open the lock, no matter how big the lock is. I think the troops who wanted to stop the Japanese army at that time saw the iron general with the locked door, and their patriotic enthusiasm must have cooled down!
At that time, Shang Zhen also asked other defeated troops, how could such an important fortification not be guarded by troops?
But the answer he got was that there were troops guarding it. Isn't it because China and Japan were tense at the front of the Songhu Battle, and then the troops guarding the defense line were transferred to the front for reinforcements?
Shang Zhen was really speechless at that time.
Send in reinforcements? No matter how many people are mobilized to withstand the fierce firepower attack of the Japanese army, isn't it just to die?
Alas, there are ready-made permanent fortifications that are not used, but the mortal bodies of soldiers are used to charge. Shang Zhen felt that the Chinese commander must have genetic paste in his head!
Of course, Shang Zhen just thought about it but never said it out loud.
He has never been an extreme person.
While he was angry, he thought that it might not be right for him to blame those officials.
Of course, a little person like me can sit here and talk about military affairs with the benefit of hindsight, but if I was the one who was in charge at the time, I might not be as good as others!
Little people have little people's troubles, such as their fate being decided in the hands of big people.
But small people also have the advantage of being small people, that is, the whole family is well fed and not hungry. Shang Zhen only needs to consider the survival of his own group.
Therefore, for the sake of the little fate of this group of people, it is better to get a map or topographic map of Nanjing first.
But at this time, Shang Zhen looked at the map of Nanjing unfolded in his hand and felt that it was not as good as he wanted.
Everyone knows that maps are generally divided into administrative division maps and topographic maps.
What Shang Zhen is looking at now is the administrative division map.
It cannot be said that the administrative division map is useless, but geography is the stage of war. At this time, Shang Zhen did not want to advance but wanted to retreat first. What he was thinking about was how to safely evacuate from Nanjing in their current position. .
It seems that the map in his hand is not enough, and he needs to look for it again. Shang Zhen thought to himself and looked around.
This bookstore is not small.
But there were very few customers in the bookstore.
Come to think of it, the garrison situation in Nanjing City is really tense now!
The Japanese army should soon attack Nanjing. China is so big that there is no room for a desk. How many people can still calm down and read at this time?
But having said that, Zhang Zhen still saw a few customers standing by the bookshelf, reading seriously.
Among them were a bookish old man and a young man wearing glasses, and a sleepy old man sitting behind a table was the shopkeeper here.
Although Shang Zhen was constantly walking around looking for the topographic map of NJ City, when he passed by the people who were reading, they didn't even look at him. They were obviously immersed in the content of the book. .
Shang Zhen is not the kind of extreme person. He does not lament that even though the Japanese invaders have invaded, you can still read leisurely books. Instead, he feels that if a person can put all his mind into reading, He must be a very pure person.
It's just that Shang Zhen searched for a long time in this bookstore but couldn't find the topographic map of Nanjing. When he was about to ask the shopkeeper, he suddenly heard a man's deep voice coming from behind a bookshelf: "The motherland can't help but feel sinking." , leisurely travel overseas to find close friends.
Jin Ou is already short and must be replenished. Dare to sacrifice your life for the country!
Sigh for danger and sigh for drifting away. Traveling thousands of miles through mountains and rivers.
Don't say that women are not heroic creatures. The sound of dragon springs is heard on the wall every night. "
Um? Shang Zhen couldn't help but be stunned for a moment when he listened to the man's chanting.
The person who recited this poem turned out to have a Northeastern accent, and a man from the Northeast recited a song praising women, which gave him a strange feeling.
And then he heard another sigh coming from behind the bookshelf: "This is a true hero. Could it be that many seven-foot men can't keep up with a woman?"
