    After the telegram was sent, Li Guoyao felt a little heavy. Although he still had 20,000 people in his hands, there was no shortage of weapons and equipment, and he even had more than enough.

    But he also knew how powerful the enemy he faced was, and once he chose to fight to the death, the consequences would be disastrous.

    If there are reinforcements, this battle can still be fought, but if the above really does not send reinforcements, the 61st Army is likely to be completely annihilated under the siege of the main force of the Japanese army. It is not an exaggeration at all.

    However, now that the matter has come to this, he has no other choice but to deal with it calmly.

    Fortunately, Chairman Chiang Kai-shek did not really regard their 61st Army as an abandonment in the end. Not only did he agree to transport a large number of weapons and ammunition to them, he also decided to allocate three to four regiments of supplementary troops to them.

    In addition, the two divisions of the 21st Corps are on their way to Wangshi Town and can reinforce Mengcheng at any time.

    Although Li Guoyao didn't know the actual situation of these reinforcements and supplementary troops, he thought they wouldn't be too bad, which made Li Guoyao feel a little more at ease.

    But Shuangjian Town cannot stay any longer. It has been beaten to pieces by both sides and it is impossible to hold on.

    And as the main force of the Japanese army continues to arrive, if you continue to stay, you may be made dumplings by the little devils.

    It happened that Xu Hu had arrived in Mengcheng with the main force. Li Guoyao immediately asked them to repair the fortifications, and then withdrew to Mengcheng with the troops on the front line of Shuangjian Town.

    Knowing that the defenders of Shuangjian Town had retreated, the Japanese army breathed a sigh of relief. In the past few days, they had suffered heavy losses in this small Shuangjian Town. Starting from the Ninth Division, the two sides had fought here at least 50 times.  The above charge resulted in heavy casualties for the Japanese army, but they still failed to capture Shuangjian Town.

    After Susumu Fujita arrived at the front line of Shuangjian Town, especially after personally watching several charges by his troops, he believed that Shuangjian Town was no longer a strategic location that could be won with human lives.

    Therefore, Susumu Fujita decided to mobilize the strategic heavy artillery troops. However, before their heavy artillery arrived, the defenders withdrew, which also made Susumu Fujita and others heave a sigh of relief.

    The power of the heavy artillery is great, but the thing is really too bulky, weighing thousands or tens of thousands of kilograms, and it is extremely difficult to move. If it is not necessary, Fujita Shin really doesn't want to use that thing.

    Since the defenders had retreated, Susumu Fujita immediately ordered the troops to tense Shuangjian Town, and then followed the footsteps of the defenders' retreat straight to Mengcheng.

    It's just that when all the Japanese commanders passed through Shuangjian Town, their faces were not very good. Not only because they had suffered numerous casualties in Shuangjian Town, but more importantly, this town had become a  A ruin.

    Not only was there no one in the town, there was not even a single intact house left. There were broken walls and burned wood everywhere, which meant that the town had been wiped off the face of the earth by both parties.

    This was not terrible at first. In the eyes of many Japanese officers and soldiers, it was a symbol of their bravery. However, Susumu Fujita and others were thinking about a problem, that is, such a Chinese army guarding such a small town, but forcefully  It blocked tens of thousands of imperial elites for 4 days.

    The Chinese army and the people of Shuangjian Town would rather destroy this town, which is said to have a history of hundreds of years, than take a step back, let alone leave it to the Japanese generals. What is reflected here is shocking.  Food for thought.

    If all the people in China are united like this, can the imperial army really win this war?

    Although the Imperial Japanese Army has now occupied Shanghai, Peiping, and Nanjing, Taiyuan, China does not only have one big city like Shanghai. If Shanghai is lost, they can evacuate to Nanjing. If Nanjing is lost, they can evacuate to Wuhan. They can also evacuate.  to Chongqing and Chengdu.

    But is the Imperial Japanese Army really capable of fighting all the way?

    The small city of Bengbu blocked their Central China Expeditionary Force for more than two months, and the small city of Mengbu blocked them for more than ten days. Moreover, every time a place was taken, the imperial army suffered considerable losses.  I'm afraid that even if they bring in more than 200,000 elites, they may not be able to occupy one-third of China.

    For a time, because of a small Chinese town that was almost in ruins, all senior Japanese officers had doubts about the prospects of this war.

    Perhaps this suspicion will not have any impact on the war situation now, but no one can guarantee whether there will be such a thing as the Thousand Mile Embankment being destroyed by an ant nest. All in all, Shuangjian Town has been pierced into Fujita like a thorn.  Enter the hearts of others.

    On the afternoon of May 17, after a stumbling and urgent march, Li Guoyao successfully arrived in Mengcheng with the troops who had withdrawn from the front line of Shuangjian Town.

      Xu Hu and others, who arrived in Mengcheng first, have built multiple simple defense lines outside the city, barely settling down the soldiers, so that the little devils will not be able to attack the city as soon as they arrive.

    On the evening of the 17th, Li Guoyao held a brigade-level combat meeting at the temporary headquarters in Mengcheng City. Firstly, he conveyed the orders of the Military Commission, and secondly, he made a brief summary.

    The headquarters of the 61st Army is located in a large restaurant in the center of Mengcheng City. This restaurant has two floors and is considered one of the better buildings in the city.

    In fact, the headquarters of the 1033rd Regiment was originally located here, and Li Guoyao¡¯s headquarters just moved in directly.

    The lobby of the original restaurant was converted into a headquarters. There was a huge terrain sand table in the middle, and two maps were hung on the surrounding walls. One was a map of the northern Anhui region, and the other was a map of the central China region.  military map.

    These maps are very detailed, but the fonts on them are a bit glaring. They are not Chinese characters, but Japanese. They were obviously captured by the 61st Army from the Japanese.

    At this time, the temporary headquarters was crowded, and all the military officers at the brigade level belonging to the 61st Army had arrived.

    After everyone arrived, Li Guoyao stood up and said: "Brothers, before the meeting officially begins, I will first convey the combat order sent by the Military Commission during the day!"

    What they heard was the order of the Military Commission. No one dared to neglect it. They all sat upright and waited for Li Guoyao's instructions.

    Then Li Guoyao did not show any pretense and directly read the combat order from the General Committee ordering the 61st Army to defend Mengcheng.

    As soon as Li Guoyao finished speaking, the entire conference room exploded!

    "Military seat, haven't all the main forces of the fifth theater been withdrawn? Why do we still need to defend Mengcheng?"

    "Yes, military commander, we are facing three field divisions of the Japanese army. Does the Military Commission really think that we are an invincible iron army? How can one army be the opponent of three Japanese divisions?"

    "That's right, isn't this asking us to die?"

    ?¡­

    Hearing the officers present talking to each other, Li Guoyao could tell from their words that almost everyone was very resistant to the order of the Military Commission.

    In fact, this is easy to understand. After all, no matter who looks at such an order, it seems ridiculous.

    Firstly, everyone does not understand the real situation and feels that it is unnecessary to continue to stay in Mengcheng. Secondly, the gap between the 61st Army and the enemy is a bit big, and everyone knows the consequences of continuing to defend Mengcheng.

    Li Guoyao signaled everyone to be quiet, and then said: "Quiet everyone, I have already replied to the Military Commission about the task of guarding Meng City. We have accepted the task. As long as there is still one person in our 61st Army, it is impossible for the little Japs to enter Mongolia."  city!"

    As soon as you finished speaking, you could hear needles dropping in the command headquarters!

    After a long time, Xu Hu asked in a deep voice: "Military seat, why is this?"

    "I understand what brothers mean, but we really have to fight this battle!"

    Then Li Guoyao strode to the military map and said: "Look, everyone, this is Kaifeng in eastern Henan. A few days ago, the Japanese 14th Division suddenly crossed the Yellow River and entered the hinterland of eastern Henan. This matter was reported to more than ten people in the first theater of war.  The division and brigade are besieged in the Lanfeng area. The Military Commission intends to eat this Class A division in one bite and teach the Japanese army a lesson."

    "But now the main force of the Central China Dispatch Army on the southern front of the Japanese army has arrived at the front line of Mengcheng. Once our army withdraws, Mengcheng will be captured by the Japs. Then the Japanese army will take the opportunity to go north, and Guoyang and Guide will not be protected.  At that time, it will no longer be the first battle zone to encircle and annihilate the Doihara Division, but a large group of little devils to encircle and annihilate our troops."

    "So the Military Commission ordered our 61st Army to hold the southern front at all costs. Even if the entire army is annihilated, even if we fight to the last man, we must hold the position and buy time for the troops on the northern front." (Remember this site's URL: www.  .hlnovel.com
