Both overseas and domestic newspapers are urgently reporting on the rare victory achieved by Liu Feiyang's troops and the Gui Army 21st Group.

Songhu Public Settlement,

The headquarters of an American review newspaper.

Stanford, the editor-in-chief of an American review newspaper, was conducting an exclusive interview with Stilwell, the U.S. military attaché in China.

An American review newspaper had a relatively large influence in Songhu. It could even be said that it was the most influential and one of the largest English-language newspapers and periodicals in the whole of Songhu at that time, and even among foreign newspapers in the whole country.

At this time, the exclusive interview has gradually come to an end.

Stanford, the editor-in-chief of the interview, put away his notebook and continued to ask with a smile on his face: "Colonel Stilwell, do you mean that there is a high possibility that the Chinese army will lose the Battle of Songhu without any doubt?

?”

"That's what I thought!"

"As far as I know, since the Battle of Songhu, the Chinese army has never achieved any major victory. On the contrary, it not only failed to drive the Japanese army out of Songhu, but was also held back by the Japanese army, allowing the Japanese reinforcements to

They can be transported continuously from their homeland to join this damn war!"

"And the national army was defeated step by step, even retreating like a mountain, and retreating in rout!"

After Stilwell asked the editor-in-chief Stanford his questions, he thought for a moment before answering in an orderly manner.

This is the future in 1942. Stilwell became the chief of staff of the National Army Theater Headquarters, commanded the commander-in-chief of the American army entering Burma to conduct the Indian theater, and supervised the US aid supplies to China. He commanded the Fifth Army and the Sixth Army of the National Army to enter Burma and fight.

One of the famous Japanese figures in the United States.

After the fall of Songhu and Beijing,

He was absolutely furious and blamed for the brutal killings by the Japanese army.

At the same time, I am also angry and disappointed with the lack of a unified defense policy and counterattack plan by the national army.

Even in his later letters to his daughter, he bluntly wrote: "Since the beginning of the Songhu War, I have been full of anger that is difficult to vent. If these angers are added together, "it is enough to float a wave of anger."

battleship".

However, when he was being interviewed by an American review newspaper at this moment, he was not so terrifyingly angry.

And he is very easy to get along with and has a bright smile.

"Then how long do you think the Chinese army can resist the Japanese army before the Battle of Songhu is over?"

"Commentators and newspapers from various countries are now saying that they may not be able to withstand the Japanese army's three-month attack! What do you think?"

"Is it true, as the Japanese army said, that the Japanese army can wipe out all the national troops and fully occupy Songhu and even the whole country in three months?"

Regarding Stilwell's expected answer, interview editor-in-chief Stanford continued to ask.

"It's hard to say!"

"Need to observe more!"

"Unless the national army controls the line from Hezaobang, Dachang, Miaohang, Hujiaqiao, Taheqiao, Zoumatang, Liuhe, Shenjiaqiao, Chaowangmiao, Xujiaxing, Guangfu, Chenjiaxing, Jiangqiao, Beixinjing to Fanwangdu

If all the positions are occupied, then it is very likely that we will lose the Battle of Songhu!"

"It will even endanger the security of the capital of the national army!"

"Especially if the Japanese army adopts unexpected tactics and captures Jinshanwei, Hangzhou Bay and other places, then the national army will really be attacked from both sides, and the situation is over!"

"I'm afraid that by then, most of the most elite troops of the national army will be completely surrounded by the Japanese army in the Battle of Songhu, and they will be encircled and annihilated one by one!"

"If things really come to that point, then the fate of the national army will be sad!"

"In short, I am not very optimistic about the Chinese army's ability to win the Battle of Songhu!"

Colonel Stilwell answered frankly.

"Okay! I understand! Colonel!"

"Actually, your views are almost the same as those of most of our newspapers!"

"Because China's weapons and equipment are so backward, many soldiers don't even have better firearms and artillery!"

"So there is no way they can be rivals of the Japanese army, which has more advanced industrial technology than theirs!"

"The failure of the Battle of Songhu will only happen sooner or later!"

"Look, do you want to bet like us on how many more days the Chinese army can hold on to Songhu?"

"Colonel Stilwell!"

Editor-in-chief Stanford smiled and nodded in agreement.

At this moment, a girl with long blond hair and nice dimples suddenly rushed into the office excitedly and shouted excitedly: "Mr. Stanford! Colonel Stilwell! Listen to the radio! Listen to the radio!"

"There is news of great success coming from Hazaobang!"

"Big news!"

"A lot of radio stations and news newspapers are just starting to broadcast it now!"

"I found out too late!"

Upon hearing this, Colonel Stilwell and Editor-in-Chief Stanford looked at each other with puzzled faces, their minds filled with questions.

Then they turned on the radio on the coffee table in the office.

"Central News Agency!"

The beautiful blonde girl immediately reminded,

So the editor-in-chief Stanford immediately switched the frequency to the most famous news agency of the Nationalist Army - the Central News Agency.

"Now urgently broadcast a piece of news about the latest, most exciting and military-motivating victory on the front line!"

"The 21st Group Army of the Chinese National Army and Liu Feiyang's command, the elite force of the Eighth Division, faced the 9th Infantry Regiment of the 16th Division, the elite force of the Japanese invaders, and part of the artillery of the Artillery Regiment of the 16th Division.

The troops assisted in the operation, and the 1st Brigade of Japanese Heavy Artillery also launched a fierce attack! The battle situation was once very critical!"

"However, our soldiers showed their fearless and decisive spirit. After a fierce battle, they completely annihilated the 9th Infantry Regiment of the 16th Division, the elite force of the Japanese invaders, and part of the artillery units of the 16th Division Artillery Regiment.

, as well as the 1st Brigade of the Japanese Heavy Artillery, including two Japanese regiment captains, and many officers were killed in action!"

"Our troops captured countless numbers in this battle, and the counterattack at Zhazaobang remained unwavering. This battle has really boosted the ambitions of our country's military and civilians, and made them feel proud. It is really very satisfying, and the whole country is inspired..."

Soon, a powerful mezzo-soprano sounded from the radio with excitement and emotion.

"Oh my god! Did I hear it wrong??"

"The Chinese army won a great victory?"

"Also wiped out two captains?"

"And completely annihilated the 9th Infantry Regiment of the 16th Division, the elite force of the Japanese invaders, and part of the artillery units of the 16th Division Artillery Regiment, as well as the 1st Brigade of the Japanese Heavy Artillery?"

After hearing this, Editor-in-Chief Stanford's eyes widened instantly and he exclaimed in disbelief.

And Colonel Stilwell, whom he was interviewing, was also in disbelief, with his eyes wide open and his mouth agape.

As for what else the woman said on the radio later, the two of them had no intention of listening.

The Chinese army, which they had always looked down upon in the north, actually won a great victory for no reason?

Such a big event is really shocking.
