Chapter 254 The Fourth Division and the Nanxing Detachment

"When you see this letter, our child should be one month old and is a healthy and beautiful boy...

The child is very much like you. When I wrote this letter, he kept laughing at the side, as if he knew that his mother was writing a letter to his father.

The letter you received last time was given. The child had already named Zheng Zhenhua, whose courtesy name was Huaxing. Although he was a little tacky, it was very similar to the current crisis situation in the country. He originally wanted to give him an English name, but I thought you would not like it, so he had to give up.

My father also flew back to the country from the United States. When the nation was in danger, my husband and father were fighting against foreign enemies all day long for their own country, and I felt very proud.

During this time in the United States, I saw my father and other government officials busy and wanted to intervene in Western powers, but they would never succeed, so I begged the League of Nations to mediate some fantasies, which has become a splash of water...

The husband was in the front of the war of resistance, but his wife was alone in a foreign country and was very ashamed. Therefore, his wife had contacted overseas Chinese from all walks of life in the United States to raise funds for the war of resistance in the front, to show the people's determination to support the war of resistance in the rear..."

The letter delivered to Zheng Yong was a photo.

Kong Lingyi stood aside, Chunni was lying on the bed, holding her own child Zheng Zhenhua.

Zheng Yong smiled slightly, child.

There were fierce gunfire outside, but Zheng Yong seemed to be unable to hear anything at this moment. Does he still have a chance to see this cute child?

"Commander, the large army has retreated. In order to slow the attack of the island army, our 111th Division covered the retreat of the large army. The battle was fierce and casualties were increasing. Now it was time to retreat."

At this time, Chief of Staff Tao Ping came in and said.

Zheng Yong carefully collected the letters and photos, stood up and pursed his lips and said slowly.

"Order, retreat!"

This was the last Chinese army to leave in Shanghai, the 111th Division of the National Revolutionary Army and the Central Theater Command.

After leaving, I finally left Shanghai where I fought for several months.

Countless Chinese soldiers are buried here, and every inch of land here is dyed red with blood.

When leaving Shanghai, almost all Shanghai citizens who were able to see him off came out.

This team that first entered Shanghai and first entered the battle of defense of Shanghai, but left the last, has now completely changed its appearance in August.

When entering Shanghai, the entire division had 15,000 troops, well-equipped and highly motivated. Even those who do not understand military affairs could see that this was an excellent force.

But now, there are less than 6,000 soldiers left in the entire division, and a total of 9,000 soldiers are sprinkled with blood in Shanghai.

A large number of companies, battalions and regiments were crippled, and some companies had no more soldiers.

But no matter what, this company will never disband. As long as the 111th Division is still there, it will always exist there...

But no matter what the battle looks like, one thing is certain. The spirit of this army is still there, and the beliefs and thoughts that have been deeply rooted in the German Machinery Master since the day it was formed will never disappear.

"Sir, are you really leaving?"

After glanced at the citizen who was asking questions, Tiedingguo nodded silently.

Leaving, leaving here...

He looked at the Suzhou River behind him, and was still flowing quietly, and traces of blood could still be seen on both sides of the river.

Every inch of river and mountain is a year of blood.

I don’t know why Tiedingguo suddenly remembered what the commander once said.

"Go away!"

Tiedingguo corrected his military cap and said in a low voice.

On January 22, 26, the 111th Division, which had been fighting in Shanghai for all day, left this city for which they had countless blood and lives...

Great retreat.

However, this great retreat was completely within the psychological range that Zheng Yonghe's government could bear. Before that, the left and right wing war zones had left Shanghai as soon as possible, and the favorable obstacles of the Central War Zone made the retreat under an organized and orderly situation.

Although the bombing of enemy planes in the sky caused the troops to suffer varying degrees of casualties when they retreated, the overall system of the troops was not disrupted.

What makes people feel most annoying is that the island nation army is Tanisuo's 6th Division, which has been chasing the 111th Division that finally evacuated Shanghai.

The enemy chased them very crazy and even continued to march at night. On several occasions, they had small-scale exchanges of fire with the 111th Division's rear guard.

"Diana Suzuo!"

When he heard this name, Zheng Yong suddenly smashed a quick stone in front of him with force.

This time, he used his force fiercely, and blood quickly flowed out along his fists, and all the officers next to him stayed there.

What's wrong with the commander? Although the island army chased after him very quickly, there was no need to get so much temper.

Zheng Yong sneered.

"The 6th Division of the Island Army chased it too quickly. Is there any way to do it and sluggish its arrogance?"

In fact, when asked this question, Zheng Yong was not sure, and the difficulty was too great.

The 111th Division has only 6,000 troops, but the other party is a basically complete division.

"There is no way." Tao Ping suddenly said.

"But it's not like to crippled it, there's no chance, but it's still possible to find an opportunity to eat some of its power.

You see, the 19th Squadron of the 23rd Regiment of the 36th Brigade of the 6th Division of the Island Army rushed the fiercest, broke the way forward, and brought about half a day with the large army.

If you can fight hard before the main reinforcements of the island army arrive, even if you cannot wipe out the troops, you can still hit the storm of the 6th Division and win time for me to retreat..."

"Damn!" Zheng Yong wiped the blood on his hands and said.

"But the question now is how the troops responsible for blocking will escape from the battlefield after completing the mission." Tao Ping frowned and said.

"Because of being a sniper, the enemy chasing on the left and right wings is likely to surround them step by step. The enemy will rely on air superiority to delay the retreat of the troops to the greatest extent. At the same time, another purpose of the blocking troops is to continue to be responsible for covering the retreat of the main force of our 111th Division when it is possible..."

"Which unit is responsible for this?" Zheng Yong suddenly clicked on the map and asked.

Tao Ping went up and took a look.

"It is the Southward Detachment of the Fourth Division of the Island Army."

"Who?" Zheng Yong asked without hearing it clearly.

"The oldest and most elite 4th Division is the Southbound Detachment of the Island Army!"

"The Fourth Division, the southward detachment?" Zheng Yong was stunned for a moment and suddenly laughed.

"Okay, let's stand out from this oldest and most elite unit!"

All the officers looked at each other. Is the commander crazy?

They also heard about the Fourth Division. They had been formed for a long time and participated in the Russo-Japanese War that year. The battle was said to be very "harsh". Especially the Eighth Regiment, which was the main force, was known as the "Eighth Regiment that is not afraid of defeat."

Such a title is probably the meaning of "fighting repeatedly and defeating repeatedly and fighting repeatedly".

Zheng Yong really wanted to tell his subordinates that if there is the most wasteful division in the island country army, it must be this Fourth Division, which has always been known as the "scam" in the island country army.

"With the Fourth Division participating in the battle, the battle that could have been won was also lost because the enemy's morale was greatly boosted..."

This is the unanimous name given to the Fourth Division by the commander of the island army.

During the War of Resistance Against Japan, the Fourth Division became famous with repeated battles. When the Chinese army heard that the opponent was the "Osaka Fourth Division", their morale often increased greatly and rushed to fight with the Fourth Division.

This is also a rare miracle during the War of Resistance.

But Zheng Yong felt a little strange. The Fourth Division should be affiliated with the Kwantung Army at this time. Why did the Southward Detachment appear here?

Is it possible that as I change my history, many things are quietly leaving their trajectory and moving forward along a path that I don’t know the future?

According to the deployment, it was decided that the independent brigade, which had relatively sufficient combat effectiveness, would be assigned to a regiment of the 328th Brigade and a mobile brigade, commanded by Ouyang Ping, to annihilate the 19th Squadron and shoulder the important task of blocking the island country.

Once the independent brigade is surrounded, the breakout location will be set at the island army's southward advancing detachment.

Since the outbreak of the War of Resistance in Shanghai, Ouyang Ping has become much silent than before. When he issued this order, he just nodded silently and did not say anything strange as before.

Maybe it was because of the lack of energy, maybe it was because too much blood and death that had completely numbed the brigade commander of this independent brigade.
