The rebirth of the Republic of China

Regarding this battle, Lu Yihua was actually very uncertain. He remembered that at this time in his previous life, Xuzhou was lost before the battle started. Before the hundreds of thousands of national troops were ready, they had already realized that they were about to be surrounded by the enemy. I can give up Xuzhou and retreat to Lanfeng.

When accepting the appointment as the commander of the Honorary First Division, Lu Yihua constantly studied the terrain of the battle and the enemy's marching route.He also found a very safe method, which can not only wipe out Doiharabu but also eliminate all hidden dangers in a steady manner, but the effect is too slow.However, this only shortcoming has become the deadliest point at this time. They don't have that long to consume, and they must not overwhelm the first theater because of a local battle.

A few days ago, when Lu Yihua rushed back to the wartime capital Wuhan to accept his appointment, he talked with his principal, the supreme ruler of China, about this matter, and the result was not much different from what he had expected.After all, those people did not believe that with hundreds of thousands of troops of the national army, it was impossible to defeat an enemy whose number was several times smaller than their own.

"Why did Jing An lose his courage after going home? Back then you were the best at fighting among my students. Now, why do you encourage others so much?"

"Principal..." Seeing that the persuasion was ineffective, Lu Yihua waited to persuade him again.

"Needless to say, I understand what you mean, and your intentions are also good. But didn't you say that this battle plan is foolproof? Since there are no loopholes, why are you so scrupulous?"

Lu Yihua moved his lips, and said bravely: "Principal, there are no loopholes in the plan, but the battlefield is changing rapidly, who can guarantee that all steps will not go wrong? For example, the 27th Army is a key point. If they retreat—"

"Kang Dang—" He interrupted what he was saying, Lu Yihua's face changed, and he stood respectfully with his head bowed and stopped talking.

"Respect, respect, respect..." The speaker seemed to be sighing, but also seemed a little angry, "Do you mean that you are worried that some of my students are greedy for life and fear of death, ignoring military orders, and fleeing?" The slightly angry tone has turned into a harsh accusation.

"Students dare not!"

"Don't you dare?! Hmph! I will personally command the Battle of East Henan, and I will also send Xue Boling to be the former commander-in-chief of the first war zone. Don't you worry now?!"

The dust was flying outside the car window. Lu Yihua looked at the soldiers advancing at full speed outside the car. If he had some hope in his heart before going to Wuhan, he no longer expects to win the battle. Increase the position of his opinion in the headmaster's heart to avoid the incident in the previous life.

After all, he is just an army commander now, and what he commands is just one of the troops. There are people who are higher than him, and there are many who have the same position as him. There is really no way for others to run away. , I just hope that his words can make the principal a little more vigilant.

However, when the news of Xuzhou's fall came, Lu Yihua knew that everything was going on according to the historical track after all.

Later, the 27th Army fought fiercely against Lanfeng. Lu Yihua did not know how many greetings he had with other people, but almost no one believed it. Just when they were about to shrink the encirclement and were one step away from encircling and annihilating the Dohihara Department, the 27th Army came from the other side of the battlefield. The army commander left the military headquarters to personally supervise the battle on the front line.

"Military seat, the chairman is urgent!" Zhao Rui hurried out from a small door next to the war room.

Lu Yihua, who was working on the map with a pencil, didn't lift his head, and said, "Read!"

The tone in the telegram was very severe, but it was only severe. In addition to asking them to retreat at the right time, another piece of information provided by this order was: the commander of the 27th Army could not stand the pressure of the chairman and came to the front to supervise the battle in person, but just halfway through. He gave up the command to one of his division commanders, left the army and ran away.

"Gui Yongqing left his post without permission! He ignored military orders! He deserves to be punished for his crime!"

After listening to Zhao Ruinian's telegram, even though he was prepared in his heart, Lu Yihua was so angry that he dropped the pencil in his hand.

The temporary combat department was silent for a while. Most of the people who were still here were Lu Yihua's combat staff officers. Hearing Zhao Rui's words, they couldn't tell the seriousness of the problem. They booed each other while being angry.After preparing for such a long time, it seemed that the fruit was about to be harvested. At this time, there was a problem, and no one could treat it calmly.

"Army Seat! Chief Xue calls urgently!" Before everyone could react, another urgent call arrived.

Lu Yihua threw away the ruler that was still in his hand, and said, "Read it and see what happens again."

Zhao Rui glanced at him, as if hesitating whether to read it out to provoke him, but seeing Lu Yihua's increasingly gloomy face, he had no choice but to read: "Gui Yongqing is a bastard, he ran away at this time. This battle is impossible to fight, Jing An, think about what you should do, I'm here to say hello to you, it doesn't matter if the former commander-in-chief of the enemy quits, I won't serve you anymore!"

Xue Boling was an outstanding general in the national army. He graduated from the sixth phase of Baoding Military Academy and was about ten years older than Lu Yihua.

In past and present lives, Lu Yihua has few people who admire him, but Xue Boling is definitely one of them.The status of the two people is very different, but the relationship is very good.Now that Xue Boling is the commander-in-chief of the former enemy in the first theater, every word and deed are extremely important, but they can send such a complaining telegram at this time, which shows that they have a good relationship.

After listening to the telegram, Lu Yihua frowned wearily: "That's all?"

"Yes."

Lu Yihua has never felt so tired from fighting. It's not that he has never lost a battle. The Jinling Guard Battle is the darkest point in his dazzling record, but he has never been so useless. It's not that they have no chance to win, but the decision-making made mistakes. The general was afraid of death, but the sergeant's perfunctory behavior directly led to the failure of this extremely critical battle.

In fact, once reborn, Lu Yihua doesn't care too much about success or failure. He knows that Huaxia will win this war in the end, so he is not worried. What a catastrophe will be caused by failure!

Since ancient times, Ci has not been in charge of soldiers. As a soldier, he never claims to be a good person, but he has the pride of a soldier, and he must be worthy of his military uniform.However, in the end, those innocent people were made responsible for the mistakes of these soldiers. This is a shame for all soldiers.

After thinking for a while, Lu Yihua breathed a sigh of relief and sighed: "Call Commander Xue, thank you Brother Xue for telling the truth. Doihara tore through the encirclement and escaped. If Brother Xue chases you, you must stay behind. Guard General Huang Jie It is not credible, if the Eighth Army abandons Guide during the pursuit, then our army of 10 people will face the enemy, I hope Brother Xue will think about it."

When Liu Sheng handed the pencil to Lu Yihua's hand, Lu Yihua's voice had just finished speaking. He asked in confusion, "From the telegram just now, isn't Commander Xue already planning to retreat? Why did the military seat send such a message?"

Lu Yihua shook his head, took the pencil and circled a place on the map: "Look here, what would you do if you commanded me?"

Liu Sheng frowned and stared at that place for a long time before asking uncertainly, "You mean Commander Xue will fight recklessly?"

"Xue Boling is bold and careful, and uses his troops like a god. If I were him, he would not dare to do this." Lu Yihua drew a line on the map again, "Going from here, if you can seize the right time, and if there are no accidents, rely on his hands The 10 people below will definitely wipe out Doihara."

"However, if it turns out that there is a problem with the Eighth Army as you said, it's really hard to say."

Lu Yihua sighed: "It depends on the situation. It's always better to work under Xue Boling's command than to be directed by others."

Lu Yihua's persuasion finally worked. Huang Jie, who was far away in Guide, had just heard that the Doihara Department had broken out from him, so he was about to pack up his things and run away, but before he left, a murderous telegram was placed on his desk. superior.

"Order the soldiers of the Eighth Army to strictly guard against death, and those who retreat one step from Guide will be shot on the spot!"

However, the demise of the Doihara Division could not save the entire battle in Eastern Henan. Due to various reasons, the battle dragged on for a long time. Xue Boling's [-] national troops were powerless. Although they won, they were only allowed to evacuate from the Eastern Henan battlefield. The figure doesn't look so embarrassed.

Finally, Lu Yihua waited for the order for the entire army to retreat strategically.

A fighter jet roared and hovered in the sky, and dense bombs fell towards the river bank.

The rushing water of the Yellow River poured out in an instant, and everything disappeared wherever it passed.

"This is a disaster, a disaster that imposes responsibility on the people because of the mistakes of our soldiers." On the way to retreat, Lu Yihua sat on the car seat with his eyes closed, exhausted and exhausted on his face. , "This is a disgrace to all Chinese soldiers."

Liu Sheng also fell silent, he almost understood Lu Yihua's worries in those few days.

If he had received the news that the Yellow River would be blown up after the defeat of the war, his performance might not have been as good as that of Lu Yihua. It is conceivable that the generals who already knew the news would face the pressure during the battle.

It was summer at this time, and the wheat on both sides of the Yellow River had not yet been harvested. When he first came here, Liu Sheng had accidentally looked at it, and at a glance, it was so golden that it was really beautiful.But after this incident, I am afraid that this scene will not be seen for several years.

"The loss this time..." Liu Sheng opened his mouth, took a deep breath, and said, "The loss may be unpredictable."

Lu Yihua kept his eyes closed, but when he heard the words, he just said: "It's not just a matter of loss. The Central Plains has been the most densely populated place in China since ancient times. This time, the principal's order came suddenly, and the Yellow River was blown up almost without warning. The land is still second, and the casualties are estimated to be very large, not to mention that the most difficult thing to deal with is probably the post-war public opinion."

The atmosphere in the car was very depressing. This time it was another person driving the car. Liu Sheng sat in the back seat with Lu Yihua. The closer he was, the more he could feel Lu Yihua's depression. Method.

As an adjutant who never left Lu Yihua's side, he clearly knew that when he received the evacuation order, Lu Yihua had already sent a telegram stating the consequences of bombing the Yellow River, and strongly demanded that troops be dispatched to the north, and that the Yellow River must not be blown up as a last resort.However, Lu Yihua was soft-spoken, and the order had already been issued, and the air force was already in place, so his remonstrance not only failed to pass, but instead attracted a lot of scolding.

"Lu Jing'an, what do you want to do?! If Zhengzhou is lost, does Wuhan have to be lost too?! Obey the order and retreat the whole army!"

At that time, Liu Sheng was going out to arrange the retreat affairs. When he returned, Zhao Rui had finished reading the telegram from the rear. Severity was unlike anything he had ever seen before.

Liu Sheng suddenly felt a pang of soreness in his heart. He had followed Lu Yihua for nearly ten years, and had fought side by side with him for seven years. This man had never retreated on the battlefield. Be confident.

But this time, Liu Sheng found that Lu Yihua was very depressed, and this incident seemed to have hit him too hard.

Involuntarily, Liu Sheng slowly held Lu Yihua's hand hanging by his side. Because of holding guns for many years, there were very obvious calluses on the palms of his hands, which were hard and rough to the touch, but dry and warm.Liu Sheng looked sideways, and Lu Yihua seemed to be asleep with his eyes closed.

The sunlight outside the window shone through the glass on the man's calm face, leaving some gloomy shadows on the forehead and eyelashes.
