This time, without Tang Dao's detailed explanation, the two lieutenant generals looked at each other and nodded.

They all knew that before the Japanese army arrived, the more complete the fortifications built, the fewer casualties would be.

"Okay! I will call them in person to tell them that the entire army of the 26th Division of the 43rd Army has decided to survive and die with Songjiang. The entire army has abandoned all baggage and is marching towards Songjiang." Lieutenant General Guo made a serious promise.

No need to persuade, this is a unique way of expression among soldiers. I have already taken the position and dare not come, I am just a coward.

At this time, the army of a province often represents the face of a province. If you want to live, you will lose face of the elders of the province. For the Chinese who value reputation the most, this is the most effective way to urge them to march.

Tang Dao bowed and left.

Until Tang Dao's back disappeared outside the door, Lieutenant General Guo looked at his old partner: "Brother Yu Qing, how much do you think about this?"

"The pillar of the country!" Liu Yuqing, who was a few years older than Lieutenant General Guo, praised him a lot.

"Maybe Rudong, you still think that he is just a young boy. He is determined to go to Songjiang and cannot fully believe it. For example, what he said just now is that he should try his best for himself, but in fact, I have not believed it. I want to just do it for myself, where is his small army running?

But it’s strange that I can feel his sincere heart, which is really an extremely contradictory thing.”

"Haha, it seems that Brother Yu Qing still likes this young boy! This is helping this little guy who must have another idea to smooth things out!" Lieutenant General Guo smiled.

"Don't worry, no matter what the purpose of this Guazi is, I won't be surprised by him just because he dares to travel to Songjiang with you and me, even if he has a new reason that is hard to refute." Lieutenant General Guo turned his eyes to Songjiang, his face gradually became quiet, and he sighed softly: "How many people in this world can dare to live to death!"

"Rudong, aren't you one of these few people?" Liu Yuqing smiled. "Now I'll add another Tang sword."

The two have been together for more than ten years, and their deep relationship is no longer necessary to flatter, otherwise Lieutenant General Guo would not have handed over the only infantry division of the entire army to Liu Yuqing. This is obviously the heartfelt words of this person.

"Hey! Who doesn't want to live? It's just that in the face of national crisis, it's all the same thing. I, the Sichuan people, will never let the country down." Lieutenant General Guo sighed again.

Turning to look at his old partner. "This time, I'm afraid you and my brothers really will fulfill the oath of dying in the same year and the same month."

"Haha! I dare not say whether I can defeat the Japanese invaders, but I will not be disappointed in the sense of brothers." Liu Yuqing, who had a kind face, smiled faintly.

However, the intention of decisive death has already burst out.

The 700 army will face tens of thousands of enemies. If the general has no intention of dying, how can he survive the three-day period?

Two lieutenant generals looked at each other and smiled.

No one knows that the two people who smile calmly talk about life and death.

"Rudong, I'll ask you, what would you do if Tang Dao had left after hearing what you said before?" When the two left the conference room, Liu Yuqing suddenly became curious about another result and asked.

"Do you leave? The 43rd Army General will not have any relationship with his four battalions from now on. If I have such a short-sighted friendly army, will I feel at ease to entrust the wounded to them? Our army will be placed as my own." Lieutenant General Guo paused slightly, and a smile appeared on his face. "Fortunately, the guy that Xie Zhongmin, who was famous all over the world, did not disappoint me."

Liu Yuqing also laughed.

Of course he knew what the commander said. He wanted the 26th Division, which was short of soldiers, to pull out half of his troops and take huge risks to support the Fourth Battalion, just for two mountain cannons. That was really overthinking.

The reason why Commander Guo Da made this decision was that Colonel Xie Jinyuan, who was in the concession, personally sent a telegram for help. The reason was not for the sake of being the same army of the same country, but for Tang Dao, who was born from his 26th Division, had a deep connection with the Jiegu Group and was also very capable and wise. After the war training in the future, he would definitely give great help to the Sichuan Army.

Before the Battle of Four Lines, Xie Jinyuan said this, his telegram would have a high probability of being thrown into the garbage dump by the commander of the army. However, in the Battle of Four Lines, he directly defeated a main infantry corps of the Japanese army with 400 troops, which has become a legend in the Chinese military. His words naturally attracted the attention of Lieutenant General Guo.

Of course, when the two met, they were digging holes and tests for Tang Dao, both psychologically and tactically.

But now it seems that Tang Dao has finally successfully passed the test of the deep-minded Commander Guo. This reassured Liu Yuqing, who was entrusted by Lao Wang.

Tang Dao, who was returning to the four camps who were preparing to set off, was also sweating. These bigwigs who could fight in the turbulent war years were really old foxes, with many thieves digging. It was not that he had the historical experience of the next ninety years to make the foundation, but he was accidentally buried in it.

However, it was slightly different from the lieutenant general who was as smart as a fox.

Tang Dao had his own thoughts, but whether he could gain the trust of a friendly army of the 43rd Army was actually not as important as he imagined.

On the contrary, it is very important for Tang Dao to persuade him to defend Songjiang with the 43rd Army and the Northeast Army.

Tang Dao mentioned the reason for congestion during the retreat. In fact, he also knew that Guo Zhong would think of it, but only he, a little butterfly from the future, would know what kind of disaster the Shanghai-Western retreat would cause due to the sudden landing of the 10th Japanese Army of Jinshanwei caused huge panic.

The Jiangsu and Zhejiang area is originally a water town in the south of the Yangtze River. The waterways are crisscrossing and the roads are only one highway from Kunshan to the outside.

It is already a big deal for more than 500,000 troops and all heavy equipment to squeeze onto the pedestrian road.

But what if there are other tides of refugees fleeing to Jinling?

Moreover, it is not just the congestion caused by personnel, vehicles and equipment. The Japanese army that has obtained air superiority will also send Japanese planes to bomb.

The Battle of Shanghai had more than 300,000 casualties, which was an extremely rare battle-level casualties in the history of the Chinese War.

But in fact, China's 700,000-00 Japanese troops fought against 200,000 Japanese troops in March in the Songhu area, and the Chinese side suffered more than 100,000 in war. However, it was because of this great retreat that the casualties of the entire battle increased to 300,000, and nearly 200,000 were damaged. In fact, it was consumed on this tragic road to retreat, and most of them were wounded soldiers abandoned by the army that completely lost their fighting spirit.

Along the way, there were all soldiers who had shed blood for the country but had never shed tears.

It is really a shame for the army.

In the end, the Japanese army failed to achieve all the strategies formulated because Songjiang City held for three days and nights, but they won a great victory on the tactical level. Many Chinese troops were forced to abandon the wounded because of their scramble to escape, which led to a complete collapse of morale. Even if they retreated to the national defense line with complete facilities in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, they would be unable to fight again.

The abandoned person is dead, but the living person is not much different from the dead.

The 700,000 elite soldiers were gone from the moment they abandoned the wounded soldiers, and it was inevitable that the subsequent battle of Jinling was completely destroyed.

It can be said that the battle in Songjiang is completely related to the future of hundreds of thousands of troops.

Moreover, in addition to the army that retreated in a hurry, there were also a larger number of refugees, all of whom were Chinese compatriots.

In the recorded war reports, the existence of refugees is rarely mentioned.

But Tang Dao knew that they also paid unimaginable casualties on the retreat road.

When Tang Dao was still a soldier, the captain once took Tang Dao to express condolences to a retired cadre on behalf of the troops. He was a veteran who participated in the Battle of Shanghai and later joined the red. He was 96 years old, but when he talked about the thrilling battle, his eyes still shone.

There is excitement and glory, but more, there are tears.

The old man spent a long time that 99.5% of humans on this planet could not have been spent. He had experienced the most tragic battles and the greatest Patriotic War in the history of the Chinese nation. He could have been calm, but when he mentioned the great retreat that should have been buried deep in his memory, he had tears.

The old man said that when his comrades died under the Japanese artillery fire, he was no longer as sad as he thought. He died too many times, which made him completely numb. Even if he was the only one left in the entire infantry squad, he gritted his teeth and held back tears and walked forward. If he didn't leave, he would die.
