Chapter 371: The Fall of Yuhuatai (Chapter 3 is here today)
When the Japanese aviation force completed its bombardment and the Japanese artillery force completed its bombardment,
The training corps that was evacuating also suffered many casualties. Fortunately, they had other national army units to resist them and prepare for the general attack of the incoming Japanese 6th Division.
But even so, the Japanese 6th Division quickly mobilized a large number of Japanese troops from the 23rd Regiment, 45th Regiment, 13th Regiment and 47th Regiment. With the support of a large number of Japanese tank troops,
In the end, Yuhuatai was still lost.
Even the 88th German Arms Division, which later took over the Yuhuatai battle, was completely defeated by the Japanese 6th Division and the Japanese 114th Division.
With the fall of Yuhuatai, the battle in the capital city has also fallen into an unprecedented crisis.
...
...
Capital Operations Command Room,
"Something is wrong!"
"Yuhuatai has been lost, and the teaching corps, one of our elite units, has suffered more than half of its casualties!"
"In addition, the Gwanghwamun area was also bombarded by Japanese troops, and it was almost impossible to defend it!"
"What should we do! Commander Tang!"
"Once Gwanghwamun is lost, our capital will face the Japanese army marching straight into it!"
"Then the entire capital will be in danger, and it may fall under the iron heel of the Japanese army!"
From the communications command room, Chief of Staff Zhou rushed in hurriedly with a stack of telegrams reporting the defeat and fall of the front line. Commander Tang and other combat staff officers were discussing in the combat conference room, and reported the report in shock.
.
"Let's report to the chairman!"
"I have no choice now. All fronts in the capital are asking for help, and there is bad news of defeat everywhere!"
"I am also very upset and at a loss what to do!"
Regarding the bad news brought by Chief of Staff Zhou, Commander Tang could only look helpless, sighed deeply, and responded with all his strength.
"Ah! This..."
"Okay! I get it!"
"I will first report the fall of Yuhuatai and the crisis of Guanghua Gate to the Chairman and others. Let's see their opinions!"
"Then let's discuss new defense arrangements again!"
"Otherwise, the Japanese army will march straight into our capital!"
Chief of Staff Zhou looked at Commander Tang with a helpless expression and responded helplessly for a moment.
"Well! Go! I and the other combat staff will also discuss how to redeploy new defensive positions immediately!"
"Even if we have to die in battle, we must kill more Japanese troops!"
"Otherwise my position as commander-in-chief will be in vain!"
After hearing this, Commander Tang also tried his best to ignite his fighting spirit, tried his best to show a wry smile, and replied with fighting spirit.
Chief of Staff Zhou nodded slightly and immediately turned around and left.
"Ah!, that's right! Commander Tang, I actually forgot that the chairman of the committee also sent me a telegram just now, asking you and me to select two more regiments of troops for Liu Feiyang's command as soon as possible to carry out secret missions!"
"Also, Liu Feiyang's troops were fighting on the periphery and had already annihilated a Japanese regiment. It seems that the captain of the Japanese 11th regiment, Fukushi Sota, was killed, and he was accompanied by an entire regiment of troops!
"
"In short, they severely damaged the Japanese detachment commanded by Major General Noboru Kunisaki. Now the Songhu Concession has become a hot topic, and it has even gradually spread to major anti-Japanese war zones and all big cities in the north and south of the Yangtze River!"
But when Chief of Staff Zhou turned around and walked away not far away, he suddenly remembered, and then he said with a look of surprise on his face.
"What! Liu Feiyang's troops came to our capital?"
"How come I didn't hear anything about this matter? I sent a large number of intelligence agents to find him, but no news came back to me!"
"How did they enter the outer front of our capital now?"
"What's going on?"
"And also achieved a great victory?"
Hearing this, Commander Tang immediately beamed with joy and expressed surprises one after another.
"I don't know either!"
"I only found out about it after the chairman of the committee just sent me a telegram!"
"But wouldn't it be better now to know that Liu Feiyang's troops are here?"
"They are the elite troops among the elite who can defeat even the Japanese troops many times in a row!"
"With them supporting us in holding on to the capital, our hope of holding on to defense will be greater. Maybe we can even repel the invading Japanese army!"
"I am very much looking forward to the arrival of Liu Feiyang's troops. At the very least, it can improve our morale, which has reached its lowest point, and stabilize the people's morale!"
However, Chief of Staff Zhou ignored Commander Tang's surprise and continued to talk happily to himself.
"I'm so happy that Liu Feiyang's troops showed up! Otherwise, why would I have put so much effort into dispatching intelligence troops to find information about their whereabouts earlier?"
"Now that they can come to our capital to carry out support operations, I can't even laugh!"
"Hurry up and follow the Chairman's order to select two elite regiments for Liu Feiyang's command and give him combat missions to assist him in combat. Hurry!"
"No! I also want to personally select the best officers and soldiers for Liu Feiyang. This time in the battle to defend the capital, they will be tested to be the main force. At the very least, they will have to kill more Japanese troops to bury us with us!"
Commander Tang was unhappy with what Chief of Staff Zhou said and retorted.
After saying that, he happily went to select troops for Liu Feiyang's command.
Chief of Staff Zhou immediately went to report to the Chairman.
...
...
In this regard, the remaining combat staff officers also looked at me, and then I looked at you.
In the end, they quickly followed Commander Lie.
...
...
Soon, Commander Tang transferred many elite officers and soldiers from various elite national army units to Liu Feiyang's command to form two regiments, ready to be handed over to Liu Feiyang to command the battle.
Looking at the national army officers and soldiers he had finally selected in front of him, Commander Tang also showed a rare smile of joy. He was quite satisfied with the control this time and wanted to curry favor with Liu Feiyang.
I hope he can pay more attention to the battle to hold on to the capital and make a winning return.
At the very least, Commander Tang has placed all his last hopes of victory at Liu Feiyang's headquarters.
Including the national army officers and soldiers who were carefully selected by him, they were also waiting with great excitement for Liu Feiyang to come and take them to kill the Japanese.
Because Liu Feiyang's famous name was made famous in the minds of these national officers and soldiers through various newspapers, including major foreign newspapers.
All the officers and soldiers of the Nationalist Army knew that there was such an officer and troops who could kill Japanese soldiers in Sihang Warehouse.
Most of the officers and soldiers of the Kuomintang regarded Liu Feiyang's troops as a heroic anti-Japanese force, and it would be an even greater honor for them to join their army to fight against the Japanese.
That's why these national officers and soldiers selected by Commander Tang were so excitedly waiting for Liu Feiyang's arrival.
If it weren't for Liu Feiyang's fame, all the elite troops of the national army would not let these elite veterans come here to wait for Liu Feiyang and fight according to orders.
But at the same time, the fall of Yuhuatai caused a sensation among the citizens of the entire capital.
Everyone became panicked.
