The War of Resistance

So that's it, Shang Zhen, who was with Duan Chao again two days later, sighed like this in his heart.

Which one? It turns out that there is a reason why Lu Dahu, the Northeastern "bandit", wants to fight to the death with the "Shandong thieves".

Originally, Shang Zhen thought it was because "one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers" or "people who work together are enemies."

Whether they are gangsters from the Northeast or thieves from Shandong, they are all bandits, and they were originally engaged in robbing homes, kidnapping, and extortion.

It is said that a strong dragon cannot overwhelm a local snake, but these Northeastern gangsters have strong dragons crossing the river. It is entirely possible that when they see the Shandong thieves competing against each other, they want to fight over who is the boss.

Siberian tigers, Northeastern people are tigers, then if the Northeastern people are not tigers, do you think which local warlord will detain the chairman of the committee?

Therefore, the Northeastern people and tigers all have inheritance.

And even in later generations, the Northeastern people still returned to tigers.

For example, people from the Northeast go to other places to work. As wage earners, they earn hard-earned money.

But this Northeastern man is good at working, even doing paid work, but there is one thing he cannot tolerate!

Seeing that it was time to settle wages, the southern contractor began to assign dirty, dangerous and tiring jobs to the Northeasterners. How could the Northeasterners tolerate this?

A good-tempered person might point at someone's nose and scold them, but a bad-tempered person might actually chop someone's head off with one brick, two bricks, or three bricks, or stab them once, twice, or three times. of.

If you get into trouble, you'll run away.

But can wages still be counted during this run? If you break the law and commit a crime but don't get caught by the police, that's a bit high.

So when the construction period was over, he went home empty-handed and was scolded by his wife.

Okay, the topic has gone too far.

All of the above, Shang Zhen's previous analysis is still reasonable.

But just when Lu Dahu really started arranging his troops to prepare for a battle with Li Tantou's puppet army, who was likely to come for revenge, Shang Zhen realized through Duan Chaoyi that his thoughts were still naive.

It turned out that while he was out on guard duty, the national army sent someone, and the request could be said to order Lu Dahu's battalion to help defend Taierzhuang.

Shang Zhen and the others have been fighting with the Japanese army for a while. Even Shang Zhen himself didn't know where they went. Only after he "surrendered" to Lu Dahu Camp did he realize that he had brought his small group with him. But we are only a few dozen miles away from Taierzhuang.

Shang Zhen was a small soldier. He didn't even have a map of Shandong in his hand. After he led the original Hao Xiazi Company, he relied solely on "random fighting". Anyway, it was wherever the terrain was favorable, where it was conducive to fighting the Japanese, and where the Japanese were still alive after defeating the Japanese. Go wherever you can to escape.

Only after contacting Lu Dahu Camp this time did he know that the Japanese army's main destination was to capture Xuzhou, and if they wanted to capture Xuzhou, they would naturally have to capture Xuzhou's peripheral areas.

This includes Teng County and LY.

Shang Zhen heard from Lu Dahu that Teng County had been lost. The people guarding Teng County were from the Sichuan Army. Lu Dahu didn't know the exact number of troops. However, Lu Dahu knew that the battle to defend Teng County lasted four days and three nights. A Sichuan Army division commander surnamed Wang in Shou Teng County has been killed in action.

As for LY, there is no need to mention it. After Shang Zhen was captured by Hao Xianzi, they fought to stop LY. Whether LY was lost now, Shang Zhen didn’t know and Lu Dahu didn’t know, but Shang Zhen knew The battle to defend LY was also fierce.

The Forty Army was crippled, and the Fifty-ninth Army came up again. The Northeast Army's Fifty-seventh Army only sent one brigade, and this brigade only sent Lu Dahu's battalion.

And what is more important than Tengxian and LY is Taierzhuang.

Taierzhuang is known as the gateway to Xuzhou, and now there are signs that the Japanese troops coming from Teng County are preparing to attack Taierzhuang.

Let's not talk about the strength of the Chinese garrison in Taierzhuang, but who would think there are too many troops at this time? Naturally, Han Xin's point is that the more troops the better.

I don’t know where the defenders of Taierzhuang got the news about Lu Dahu’s battalion, so they sent people to ask them to help defend Taierzhuang.

It can be said that the vast majority of people have nothing to do with bad tempers when they are rational.

The person sent by the Taierzhuang garrison said that it was under the order of the theater headquarters. Lu Dahu couldn't bear it forcefully. He grunted and laughed while making up his mind.

He believed from the bottom of his heart that defending Taierzhuang was not our Northeast Army's business. Even if we coexisted or perished with the position, it was still your business. Why should I, Lao Lu, "accompany and kidnap" me!

But after all, it is not good to force it, but if you want to find a reason not to go, then, that, that is not easy. Lu Dahu had an idea and had a ready-made reason. I am also fighting a war, so how can I go? Help defend Taierzhuang?

What kind of war? Of course Lu Dahu would not take the initiative to attack the Japanese army. He would pick on the weak ones, so why didn't he attack the "Shandong thieves"?

In the anti-Japanese war literature of later generations, there are many protagonists in the novels who are in the national army. Not to mention how many invaders these protagonists killed in the novels, there is one thing that is seriously inconsistent with historical facts, that is, in Throughout the entire war of resistance, the Chinese army was basically on the defensive.

That is, wherever the Japanese army wanted to attack, the Chinese army began to organize resistance, saying that it was impossible to take the initiative to attack the Japanese army, but that was really not the norm.

Moreover, those who take the initiative to attack the Japanese army will only have troops to attack the Japanese army under the premise of large-scale combat.

What's more, when the Japanese army launched an attack on a certain strategic location in China, although the Chinese troops guarding the strategic location fought fiercely, most of the Chinese troops responsible for assisting the defense were still wandering outside the main battlefield or far away. He fired a few shots at the Japanese army and then retreated after a slight contact with the Japanese army. Who would be willing to fight to the death with the Japanese army?

Otherwise, do you think that the Japanese army has occupied more than half of China? In addition to the fact that the strength of the Chinese army is indeed inferior to that of the Japanese army, how did China lose its territory from north to south?

And here I have to mention Commander Zhang of the 59th Army in this battle to defend LY.

He was the general who led the national army to actively attack the Japanese army, and there was a reason for this.

The various reasons are very complicated to say, but in plain language, they are much simpler. That is, the public opinion at that time believed that Commander Zhang was a pro-Japanese faction and a traitor, but Commander Zhang did not think that he was!

Among them were Commander Zhang's own problems in handling Sino-Japanese affairs, and also the problem of the entire Nationalist government's tolerance towards the Japanese invaders.

It's just that Commander Zhang has been labeled a "traitor". If he really is, that's it, but the problem is that he doesn't think he is!

Therefore, it can also be considered that his situation at that time was similar to the situation in which someone was "violated online" in later generations. The psychological pressure on the person at the center of the whirlpool of public opinion can be imagined.

Precisely because of the above, Commander Zhang already had the mentality of dying to prove his ambition after regaining military power, so he led his troops to take the initiative to fight against the Japanese army.

It is self-evident who this General Zhang is here.

Later, he became the highest-ranking general who died in the entire national army series during the Anti-Japanese War.

Okay, the words come back to the present. Of course Shang Zhen understands Lu Dahu's style of play. If he were Lu Dahu, he would never enter Taierzhuang.

Shang Zhen understood from his own combat experience that defeating the Japanese invaders relied on numerous passes.

However, they lost many passes along the way from north to south, and those passes seemed to be piled up by the corpses of countless anti-Japanese martyrs and seas of blood.

So what can ultimately stop the Japanese invaders from attacking?

Shang Zhen had limited education and he couldn't figure it out. Maybe it was just "swear to death and not be a slave to the country's subjugation"!

And what is that? That should be a mountain in my heart, and it is also a mountain in the hearts of countless Chinese people who have sworn not to be slaves to the country!
