Super Anti-war System

As a result, from General Wu Keren to ordinary soldiers, they all died heroically.

What I have to say is that General Wu Keren was only 43 years old at the time!

After the 67th Army was wiped out, the Tenth Army of the Devils was divided into two groups.

Some began to attack the coast of Taihu Lake, and the spearhead was directly aimed at Nanjing, the capital of China!

The task of the main force is to cut off the Shanghai-Hangzhou railway and highway, thereby encircling the main force of China.

At the same time, under the command of Nakajima Kezago, the 16th Division successfully landed in Taicang, Jiangsu.

The strategic purpose of the 16th Division is more obvious.

They tried in vain to cut off the Beijing-Shanghai railway and highways, thereby forming a closing trend against the main force of China.

In other words, the 16th Division intends to tie pockets for the encirclement.

In this way, if the main force of China does not retreat, the situation will be obvious!

The 70 army in the Songhu area, under the attack of the devil's massive heavy weapons, will become the turtle in the urn, and will be wiped out in one go!

At this time, the senior commanders of the Huaxia Supreme Command and the Songhu front line were all taken aback.

In fact, upon hearing the bad news, many soldiers were also thrown into confusion.

Even some troops have already experienced chaos, but it is difficult for the commander to control the situation.

It's all like this, there is no way, and the strategic goal has been achieved. On the evening of November 11, the Chinese Supreme Command made a painful decision:

All troops must withdraw from the battle in Shanghai, and divide into two groups, retreating to Nanjing and Suzhou—the area west of Jiaxing.

The Huaxia troops withdrew. Naturally, the devils occupied Shanghai very easily.

On November 11, Shanghai Mayor Yu Hongjun published a letter to the citizens through the radio station.

He announced with great sorrow that the largest city in the Far East——Shanghai, has fallen!

Two days later, on November 11, the government also issued a statement to all Shanghai compatriots.

In a statement, the government praised the bravery and tenacity of the troops involved in the fighting.

Of course, the government also accounted for the losses of this battle.

All the elite troops in China have been reduced by three-fifths!

In addition, the government also explained the significance of this battle:

It broke the arrogant slogan of the island country to destroy China within three months!

Most importantly, the government also announced that the next wave of fighting, namely the defense of Jiangyin, has officially begun!

What I have to say is that after successfully implementing the strategic concept of the military god General Jiang Baili, Huaxia can be called a glorious defeat.

Also, the Songhu area is too small.

China's more than 70 divisions and more than 70 troops fought recklessly with the devils in this small battlefield. Before the war started, it was doomed to fail.

Fighting in this place, the devils have an absolute advantage in sea, land and air, and can also take advantage of the combined combat of multiple arms.

In addition, the Songhu area is densely covered with many large and small rivers.

Unlike the nomadic peoples of the Yuan and Qing dynasties, island countries have powerful navies.

With the help of naval ships, nearly 40 devils were able to break through the terrain restrictions by boat.

The most important thing is that the devil can exert the power of large-caliber naval guns.

In fact, there is another most important reason why Huaxia is eager to retreat.

Shanghai and the capital Nanjing are too close.

Shanghai is the front line, and the capital Nanjing is exposed to the sight of the devils.

So many devils have come here, and the number of troops is still increasing. The capital Nanjing is very dangerous.

It has to be mentioned that during the Battle of Songhu, the European and American powers all believed in appeasement.

Also, when World War II really started in 39, appeasement was still very popular.

Therefore, Huaxia desperately resisted the devils, but the European and American powers did not speak for Huaxia, they only knew to pay attention to all this silently.

During the thrilling three months of the Battle of Songhu, although Huaxia failed, they reached a consensus,

Even if the battle reaches a soldier and a shot, the resistance will never end!

After losing more than half of the elite troops, they chose to retreat from the Songhu area for the sake of the overall situation of the War of Resistance. There is no doubt that this is the most tragic decision in the history of the Chinese nation!

Although the Battle of Songhu was a failure, it was a glorious defeat.

Most importantly, the vast majority of Chinese people are determined to unite around Jiang Jieshi and continue the war of resistance!

In fact, there was a reason why Ye Tian planned to do something in Jinshanwei.

Moreover, Ye Tian had already thought about it, even if he really died for his country, this time, he had to go there no matter what he said!

Chapter 784

When the Huaxia troops retreated strategically, because the order was issued too hastily and the command was out of control, the large retreat turned into a comprehensive rout.

In the Battle of Songhu, most of the commanders, especially the middle and lower level commanders, died.

Therefore, the troops have no rules at all and have fallen into extreme disorder.

The most important thing is that when they found that the main force of Huaxia had retreated, the devils started chasing and fighting fiercely.

On the one hand, hundreds of Japanese planes bombarded and strafed the sky continuously.

On the other hand, the devil's ground forces also pursued him.

In fact, according to the original plan, when the Huaxia troops retreated, they should retreat while resisting.

Along the Wufu Line, Xicheng Line, Zhajia Line, and Haijia Line, there are many defense fortifications.

These fortifications have a nickname - the Eastern Maginot Line of Defense.

Logically speaking, there should be nothing wrong with relying on these defense fortifications to resist.

It is a pity that before the battle of Songhu, the Supreme Command found out.
