Compared with the Tenth Army of Yanagawa Heisuke, Matsui Iwane's Shanghai dispatched army has more troops, reaching 240,000!

The dispatched army in Shanghai has more troops, and the large-caliber naval guns of the third fleet of the island nation have been bombing intensively from time to time.

Therefore, on each battlefield in the Battle of Songhu, all Huaxia troops were very passive.

In fact, it is by no means as simple as being passive.

The vast majority of troops lost at least half of their troops.

Even the establishment was crippled!

What's more, a division was put on the battlefield, and after a few hours, the entire army was wiped out!

It is so hard to deal with the dispatched army in Shanghai. One can imagine how passive the Chinese government army will be when dealing with the new Devil Tenth Army!

In fact, according to the strategic deduction of the Supreme Command of China, even if the Tenth Army does not outflank its own back road, its own side will be more fortunate than good.

If the Tenth Army and the Shanghai Dispatched Army are united in one place, they will fight again with the Chinese government army and they will definitely be crushed all the way.

To this end, the Supreme Command of China made a unanimous decision and the Supreme Commander Jiang Jieshi reluctantly issued a strategic retreat order!

Also, the opportunity for a strategic retreat has arrived. In order to ensure that there is strength to persist in the long-term resistance, why not retreat?

After this battle, despite the heavy casualties, China's strategic goal has been achieved.

Attracted the main force of the Guizi from the North China battlefield to the Songhu area, successfully avoiding the tragic fate of the Song and Ming dynasties.

If the Songhu Battle is not initiated on the initiative, or the scale of the battle is not large, this strategic goal will simply not be achieved.

What makes people embarrassed is that it was discovered that the strategic goal has been achieved, and the big figures of the Supreme Command of China were not very happy.

Also, the cost of achieving this strategic goal is too great, almost to the point of being intolerable.

Huaxia painstakingly worked alone and spent countless amounts of money to build these German Weaponists, which caused more than half of the casualties.

The most important thing is that those battalion company platoon-level officers who are also responsible for charging and entrapment, especially squad leaders and veterans, have a higher casualty rate.

There is no doubt that the vitality of these main forces has been severely damaged.

Focus on the present and look to the future!

Feeling that the strategic goal has been achieved, it is natural that under the organization of commanders at all levels, China’s main forces have begun to withdraw.

Because of the proper planning, the retreat can be called orderly.

In accordance with the orders of the Supreme Command and the Songhu Battle Command, all units began to rotate and retreat step by step.

For example, a German weapon division, yesterday, the main task was to provide cover for the retreat of a certain force behind.

But today, they no longer perform cover tasks, and become retreat troops under cover.

In the Songhu Battle in history, the reason why China lost countless soldiers was not in the battle.

To be precise, because the retreat order was issued too hastily, and because the grassroots commanders were all martyred, the great retreat turned into a great retreat!

Naturally, under the devils' chase all the way, most of China's main forces were unable to prevent effective resistance.

Therefore, at the time of the retreat, China's casualties were much higher than those on the frontal battlefield.

In fact, Ye Tian knew everything about this scene.

The reason is simple. He and the Supreme Command of China, and even Jiang Jieshi himself, can secretly communicate.

In addition, at this moment, Ye Tianzheng is active in the joint of Huaxia and the island force.

Therefore, China's main force is retreating, Ye Tian is very clear.

In fact, Ye Tian gave a full understanding of this big retreat.

Also, it was brave for a short time to bury China’s main elite troops in the battle of Songhu, which was unable to return to heaven. The consequences were extremely serious.

It can be said that once Jiang Jieshi did this, Ye Tian would not understand it.

What I have to say is that, in order not to arouse the resentment of Jiang Jieshi and the senior officials, Ye Tianming knew that the retreat was good, but he did not make such a suggestion.

Of course, Ye Tian is still very confident in doing so.

Also, although China is weak in its national strength and its treasury is empty, it is not without capable people.

Among them, Mr. Jiang Baili, the God of the First Army of China, is the most.

In "On National Defense" and other works, Jiang Baili has long put forward various ideas about the full-scale war of resistance:

Such as the theory of protracted warfare;

Such as the three macro steps of defense, stalemate, and counterattack;

For example, take advantage of China's vast territory and complex and mountainous terrain to open up as many battlefields as possible to reduce the island nation's military strength;

Especially with regard to the Battle of Songhu, it is Jiang Baili's greatest contribution to China!

Ye Tian believes that if you look at all the armed forces in the war of resistance, if you choose the person who contributed the most to the war of resistance, it would be Jiang Baili.

Also, if it weren't for his proposal and it was adopted by Jiang Jieshi, the situation of the all-out war of resistance would definitely change drastically.

In fact, this change is not about the extension of the War of Resistance against Japan and the increase in the number of soldiers and soldiers lost, but the destruction of the country!

Of course, in Ye Tian's mind, the general who killed the most devils, that is, the God of War Xue Yue, was the second person in the War of Resistance.

Among other things, Xue Yue made an immortal feat just in assisting Chen Cheng in the battle in Wuhan.

Especially the Wanjialing Victory commanded by Xue Yue is definitely a big victory!

In the first battle of Wanjialing, the 106th Division of the island nation, as well as the 101st and 27th Divisions that came to rescue, suffered heavy losses.

Not to mention, the four Devil Brigades that were invested in the Wuhan Battle were also annihilated in the encirclement.

The 106th Division, the most unlucky, came over 10,000 pairs of devils, and in the end only 1,500 remnants were defeated and would escape the siege.

The battle in Wuhan lasted four and a half months and ended with the voluntary withdrawal of the Chinese army.

As far as the battle is concerned, the Guizi occupied the three towns of Wuhan and controlled the heartland of China and won the victory.

But as far as strategy is concerned, the island countries have not achieved their strategic intentions.

The original plan of the island nation was to make an emergency landing in China.

Unexpectedly, despite repeated defeats, Huaxia intends to defeat again and again!

Under the leadership of Jiang Jieshi, China's first man, China's ambition for the war of resistance has never been depressed.

In the rear area already occupied by the devils, countless anti-Japanese armed forces have grown up one after another.

Such as the Anti-Japanese Ranger, the Guerrilla Headquarters, and the Traffic Police Brigade under the leadership of Dai Li...

For another example, Baye's various resistance forces behind enemy lines.

Of course, in the battlefield behind enemy lines, in addition to the two largest armed forces behind enemy lines, there are also many large and small spontaneous anti-Japanese armed forces.

With the efforts of so many anti-Japanese troops behind enemy lines, it is difficult for the devils to achieve complete control in the occupied areas.

If you have to make an analogy ~lightnovelpub.net~Take the main traffic lines as an example, Guizi can barely control a few kilometers on both sides of the traffic line.

Therefore, the Wuhan battle is of great significance.

It is no exaggeration to call the Battle of Wuhan the most significant battle among more than 20 large-scale battles.

The island countries are severely lacking in various strategic materials. Because of the loss of the war, they were forced to fall into the protracted war that China had expected, and had to change their war strategy again:

Military strikes are no longer regarded as the most important means, but political surrender has increased its intensity;

Suspend the decisive battle with China’s main force, transfer forces, and first maintain and consolidate the occupied areas.

In this way, thanks to the efforts of Chen Cheng and Xue Yue in particular, the overall situation of the War of Resistance has evolved from the stage of strategic defense to the stage of strategic stalemate!

...

Ye Tian still doesn't know the Devil's plan to deal with him. The reason why he is still so active is to show his skills again!
