If this battle to defend Nanjing had not been fought, if there had not been this great defeat, the army would still be organized and established, and Fang Zhiping would never have said this.
If he dared to say that, not to mention practicing military law, his mouth would be swollen by someone sent by his superiors!
German weapon division, from a domestic perspective, is the pride of the Central Military Army, and from the perspective of this war with Japan, it is the pride of the Chinese army.
If an ordinary soldier dares to say such treacherous words, what's the point?
But the question is, isn’t the battle lost now?
What's more terrifying than a country's army losing a war?
That is, not only did they lose the battle, but they still dare not admit that they lost the battle, and they still did not admit that their skills were inferior to others. Too many military matters in China are affected by non-military matters.
For example, when fighting the Japanese, it became politically correct to charge bravely regardless of casualties and costs.
If any commander dares to say that we cannot fight like that because the losses will be too great, then a big hat will fly over and say, you are afraid of the Japanese, you are afraid of war!
In this case, does the commander still dare to say that he will not let the soldiers rush up? If he still insists on his opinion, then his official title will not be saved.
Therefore, under the so-called political correctness, those small soldiers who were originally regarded as ants launched successive charges against the invaders' aircraft, artillery and heavy machine guns.
Bravery is certainly heroic, but has anyone ever thought that this style of fighting is more like a character described in a famous foreign novel in the Middle Ages, riding a bad horse, holding a broken shield in his left hand, and a straight shield in his right hand? With a spear, he launched a brave but desperate charge towards the windmill!
The big people in this world generally don't dare to tell the truth. Only the little people have no scruples. Just like the little boy in the emperor's new clothes, he told the adults that the emperor had nothing on and he was Naked butt!
But now, Fang Zhiping is like this. To put it bluntly, this battle has been fought like this. He is likely to die soon, so what can he not dare to say?
"Our 88th Division fought in the Battle of Songhu." Next to the firewood pile that was still emitting light green smoke, and under the flares that the invaders hit overhead, Fang Zhiping began to tell.
"Perhaps you don't know that we Chinese started this Songhu War first." Fang Zhiping said in surprise.
For example, the reason why the Battle of Songying started is known to future generations as long as they have studied history. However, for Yu Shangzhen and others who were just soldiers fighting at the bottom, most of them did not know.
"What's wrong with us starting the fight? It's better to attack proactively than to defend passively." Shang Zhen said while observing the movement in the distance.
"Of course there's nothing wrong with taking the initiative to attack, but that's not how battles are fought!" Fang Zhiping glanced at Shang Zhen in surprise and said.
The reason why he felt surprised was that he did not expect that Shang Zhen, an inconspicuous soldier wearing a narrow Japanese military uniform, would actually know about "active attack" and "passive defense".
Nowadays, it is rare for Chinese soldiers to know "active attack" and "passive defense", and it is even rarer to be able to tell the pros and cons of active attack and passive defense.
"It's not like that. How was it done?" Yu Zuolong asked from the side.
"Since we are attacking the Japanese, when our regiment was attacking the Japanese, we just rushed up with guns in hand under the orders from above.
Think about the firepower of the Japs. Heavy machine guns, crooked machine guns, grenade launchers, and mortars sealed the front. Wouldn't it be a sure thing to go up there? That's really just forcing people to pile them up! "Fang Zhiping's next words contained some obvious emotion.
"Isn't that how the battle was fought? What's the trick?" Yu Zuolong couldn't help shuddering as he imagined the tragic scene of Chinese soldiers falling while charging bravely, but he was helpless because that's what he thought. Yes, isn’t that how battles are fought?
"Fart! What you said is the same as those who are officials! You just want to be a soldier." Fang Zhiping was immediately angered by Yu Zuolong's words.
Fang Zhiping's words were so rough that Yu Zuolong's expression changed. But when he was about to say something, he looked at Shang Zhen but turned back to look at him. So he didn't do the same as Fang Zhiping. At the same time, he suddenly realized that there was something wrong with what he said just now, and this was something he only thought of after being with Shang Zhen.
"Who said he can only be a soldier? Didn't you say that? Is his statement the same as those who are officials?
Since it's the same as being an official, why can't he become an official? What a contradiction! "But at this time, Bai Zhan caught the flaw in Fang Zhiping's speech.
But before Fang Zhiping could speak, Shang Zhen had already said: "Fang Zhiping, keep talking and ignore him." Then Shang Zhen looked at Bai Zhan again and said, "As usual, if you keep talking, just fend for yourself. !”
Bai Zhan paused and fell silent.
In Bai Zhan's impression, Shang Zhen had never scolded anyone, but everyone under Shang Zhen listened to him. What he was afraid of was Shang Zhen's move!
"Then you're so stupid that you just rush in from the front? Don't you know how to take a detour or attack from the side? Don't you know how to use explosives to blow open the wall on the side of the Japs stronghold?" Fang Zhiping said angrily.
Fang Zhiping's words left Yu Zuolong speechless.
Yes, if this road is blocked, can't we find another way? As Shang Zhen said, why do we have to defend our position and charge? If we had used other methods, we might have killed more of the little devils!
"You're such a German weapon master. You have some weapons but you don't know how to use them. No matter how good the weapon is, you will fight against the little devil? No matter how powerful your weapon is, you can beat the little devil?" Fang Zhiping was indignant. .
"The artillery bombarded the little Japs indiscriminately. After the bombardment, the infantrymen were all going up. No, they had to drag their feet. They didn't charge when they should charge, and they rushed blindly when they shouldn't!" Fang Zhiping He said bad words again, and the bad words he said were the same as those used by Northeasterners, which shows the injustice in his heart.
But it wasn't over yet, Fang Zhiping continued: "You don't know, right? We also have tanks, so make good use of them! As a result, the tanks rushed forward on their own, and none of the infantry behind them followed. Come on! Then what's the use of your tank?"
As soon as Fang Zhiping finished speaking, Shang Zhen's expression changed as he turned his head away and continued to observe the situation in the distance.
There is no denying that although Shang Zhen has experienced hundreds of battles, he will not participate in a battle between the enemy and ourselves like the Battle of Songhu. Whether he is afraid or has a phobia of firepower, Shang Zhen does not fight in that kind of battle anyway!
Therefore, he was not very clear about the specific situations of some major battles. He only knew that the Northeast Army originally had tanks, but he did not expect that the Central Army also had tanks. Think about it, the Central Army was also rich. Lord.
Tanks are so scary, why bother asking? When Japanese tanks attacked Chinese infantry on flat areas, it was often a one-sided massacre.
The Chinese army has tanks and artillery but cannot use them well. What a tragedy!
