Chapter 585 Anger
Chapter 585 Anger
A few days later, the troops of the two Shanghai divisions, which had completed their equipment upgrades, set out in a mighty procession.
Commander of the Shanghai-Jiangsu-Anhui region, Ye Feng.
Army Commander, Political Commissar Chen.
Commander, Zhou Qingshan, Song Yu.
The head of the group, Zheng Hua, Niu Chujun, Lei Heping, Liang Long...
The main forces of the two divisions consist of 48,000 people, plus logistics transportation, supplies, medical and other personnel.
It would be difficult to conceal the whereabouts of such a large-scale march, especially since it started from the international metropolis of Shanghai. When the troops left Shanghai, they entered Jiangsu and then headed all the way to the west of Jiangsu.
For a time, all kinds of rumors began to fly around, and the whole country was in great shock.
Nearly 50,000 troops!
And since it is led by Ye Feng, how could it not cause a major earthquake!
The people in Shanghai, Jiangsu and Anhui were naturally excited and encouraged each other, looking forward to seeing a great victory.
"Have you heard? Our troops are preparing to retake the entire Jiangsu Province."
"According to some freight merchants on the road, the troops departing from Shanghai are heading towards Nanjing."
"It's time to reclaim this ancient capital of China's Six Dynasties."
"The one leading the team this time is still our Shenzhou's great hero Ye Feng. With him leading the troops in battle, we will definitely win."
"When Nanjing fell, the army in the mountain city had already retreated, leaving only a small number of troops to resist. It is said that the Japanese at that time, their leaders issued a massacre order, wanting to create a bloody and horrific massacre in Nanjing. At that time, hundreds of thousands of people did not have time to escape. Fortunately, Ye Feng persisted in the resistance and united all forces to crush the Japanese conspiracy."
"Yes, I heard that too. However, we were short of firepower. In order to make up for the disadvantage, Ye Feng took control of the enemy's warships and used their artillery to attack the enemy's army, thus destroying a large number of the enemy's manpower."
"The shame of that time, our compatriots who were killed at that time, can finally be avenged."
"This army is fighting for money and food. With tens of thousands of people on the march, I wonder how much they will lose in a day?"
"Well, we can't go to the battlefield, but we can still contribute our own efforts. I'm going to find the underground party and donate some money as a support for our Shenzhou soldiers."
"Count me in. Even though I'm not very rich, I can't watch our soldiers starve."
"Well said, if you have money, give money; if you have food, give food; a little adds up to a lot!"
……
The people have sharp eyes and are sensible. Although many people live in poverty, when they heard that Nanjing was going to be recaptured, many of them still contributed their own efforts amid thousands of encouraging voices.
For many days that followed, the underground party office building in Shanghai was crowded with people. People rushed in with money and food, and held up many banners to support the battle to retake Nanjing.
When the anti-Japanese sentiment among the people in Shanghai, Jiangsu and Anhui was high, some were excited and happy while others were angry and unwilling to give up.
A luxuriously decorated manor in a southwestern mountain town.
When he saw the information about Ye Feng leading the team to go to war, the old man in Shancheng tore the information to pieces and cursed:
"The underground party has grown so fast. How long has it been? Not only has it expanded massively, but it has also recruited 50,000 new soldiers in Shanghai alone. In addition to training for about a month, each soldier has been equipped with equipment."
"Tell me, where do these peasants in the underground party get their money? Where do they get their weapons and equipment?"
"I said back then that the underground party must be our biggest concern. If we can't eradicate it, with the ability of that man in Yan'an, it will definitely be unyielding and will continue to grow."
"The underground party forces in the Shanghai-Jiangsu-Anhui region now have the strength of three armies, approaching 20 people!"
"Do you think they can capture Jinling?"
……
The old man's anger was justified. Jinling should have been recaptured by the mountain city army under his command.
Now the underground party is trying to recapture it ahead of schedule, and Jinling was once his territory.
The old man was angry and unwilling to accept that his territory was about to fall into the hands of the underground party.
The anger was that the threat posed by the underground party was too great, and the reluctance was that their former nest was about to be lost.
"Chairman, I think that although the underground party is powerful and has assembled tens of thousands of troops, it will be difficult for them to recapture Nanjing in a short period of time."
A man in a Zhongshan suit said:
"You know, these days, battles have been raging in Jinling City. The underground party's commander Su, who is known as the god of war, has been besieging Jinling, but after so much time, he still hasn't been able to capture it, right?"
"The Japanese have made Nanjing City like an iron barrel. It is not that easy to capture."
Another man in the uniform of the Shancheng Army also said, "Nanjing's location is too important. It is the hub of the Japanese military in the north and south. Without Nanjing, their troops in the southwest will be attacked from all sides. So I guess the Japanese have been sending more troops to Nanjing and strengthening their defenses."
The old man asked, "How many troops do the Japanese in Nanjing have now?"
A bespectacled secretary behind him replied, "According to the intelligence we have, the Japanese have 40,000 Kwantung Army main forces. In addition, there are about 3,000 military police, nearly 1,000 special high-tech forces, and tens of thousands of traitors from the detective team. The number of defenders is already 50,000."
The old man asked again, "Where are the Japanese reinforcements?"
The secretary replied, "On the Wuhan battlefield, tens of thousands of Japanese main forces suddenly disappeared. On the Central Plains side, Japanese troops are also ready to go. It is estimated that there will be no less than 10,000 reinforcements."
The old man narrowed his eyes, showed a sly and complacent smile and said, "There are 70,000 Japanese main forces in Nanjing. I don't know how much the underground party will have to pay if they want to take over this city."
A senior official from the mountain city said, "Yes, if we go to fight, we will need at least five times as many troops as the Japanese if we want to deal with the 7 Japanese Kwantung Army, and we are attacking Nanjing, which has high walls and thick fortifications. Now the underground party has gathered troops in Nanjing, plus the two divisions marching in Shanghai, a total of only four divisions, which is basically the same as the main force of the Japanese. Once the battle starts, it will definitely be a life-and-death fight. Even if we finally take Nanjing, according to my estimate, the underground party will lose at least %, and there will be countless disabled soldiers."
The old man praised, "Even if Nanjing is captured by the underground party, the Japanese will not give up. There will definitely be a big battle later!"
The implication.
I hope that the city of Jinling can become the grave of the underground party, and that more armed soldiers of the underground party will die in Jinling.
