" General, there's a fight ahead…" Cripple Meng limped into the volunteer army headquarters and reported helplessly.
"What happened?" Chen Zhihua looked up at Lame Meng.
" The troops that retreated from the front line according to the plan saw that our equipment was so good, but they didn't go to the front line. Instead, they set up defenses here, so they're not convinced…" Cripple Meng was also very helpless.
They also wanted to go to the front line, but an order was an order. Everything they ate and used was given by Chen Zhihua. They did not even have the courage to resist Chen Zhihua's orders.
However, it was different for the troops that came down from the front line. Each of their troops had been fighting at the front line for a long time and had suffered great losses.
After that night's bombardment, the Japanese became more cautious.
The Chinese army gradually gained control of the situation and once again entered a favorable situation for the Chinese side. However, at this time, the commander ordered them to retreat and leave Shanghai.
They had fought for more than a month without losing their position, but now they were giving it to the enemy. Wasn't this a slap in the face?
However, the higher-ups had already given the order. They had to retreat. All the supplies and reinforcements would not enter Shanghai. If they continued to stay, they would run out of ammunition and food in less than three days.
Apart from giving the order to retreat, the troops that were coming from behind were also stopped at Changsu Pingjia's defensive line. They went from supporting Shanghai to defending on the spot and waiting for orders.
Dressed in the same military uniform as ordinary soldiers, without any military officer's logo, Chen Zhihua and Cripple Meng came to the place where the defense was set up.
The volunteer army did not belong to the regular armed forces of a government. Although they were also an army, they were by definition a civilian volunteer armed group. To put it more simply, they were militia, an unofficial organization of the army.
If others cared, then you were illegal. If others didn't care, then so be it.
However, regardless of whether others cared or not, it was impossible for volunteers to have military ranks.
Previously, Principal Jiang planned to confer the rank of second-class general on Chen Zhihua, but Chen Zhihua declined. Once the rank was conferred, it meant that the volunteer army became the anti-Japanese armed forces led by the National Government.
As for these superficial things, Chen Zhihua did not care at all. No matter how formal his identity was, it was not as satisfying as directly wiping out a division of the Japanese. Chen Zhihua wanted something real, not something illusory.
"What are you arguing about?" Half an hour had passed since Cripple Meng went to inform him and he rushed over. The scene was still noisy, and Chen Zhihua's forehead was filled with black lines.
"General!" Seeing Chen Zhihua, the volunteer soldier who was arguing with him immediately shouted. He did not stand at attention or salute.
"Do you know how hard we fought at the front line? We have more than 10,000 people in our division, and now there are less than 4,000 of us standing here. It is the fate of soldiers to die on the battlefield. However, if you can go up, the situation of the battle will definitely change. We will definitely win this battle. Are you still soldiers? What dogshit volunteer army? What bullsh * t do you mean, wherever there are Japanese, there are you? " I think it's better for you to run to the place where there are no devils…" Seeing that the main culprit had arrived, Sun Yuanliang fired his cannon without holding back.
He was indeed very grateful to the volunteers. If they had not razed the Japanese concession to the ground, his 88th Division would not have been able to retreat so smoothly.
However, he also hated the volunteers. They were clearly capable, but they still hid here and refused to go up.
They had agreed to attack earlier, but they suddenly retreated on the eve of the attack and canceled the plan. This was enough to make the frontline troops angry. They did not expect that they would go even further. Not only did they retreat, but they also convinced the principal to withdraw all the troops in Shanghai and even gave him the position of deputy commander.
So what if he was the deputy commander? I'll still scold you! I'm going to fight you!
"Do you know what you are doing now?”Chen Zhihua looked at Sun Yuanliang. He was still a major general, a major general of the 88th Division, and a major general of the Central Army. However, there was a group of people that Chen Zhihua really did not like, such as this person in front of him.
"Of course I know. Do you know what you're doing now?”Sun Yuanliang asked angrily.
"Hehe, I know that too." Chen Zhihua chuckled and waved his hand behind him."Arrest him!"
"Arrest…arrest me? Why?" Sun Yuanliang started to panic.
However, the volunteer soldiers were naturally more straightforward than him. They would not have any doubts about Chen Zhihua's orders. As soon as he finished speaking, the soldiers on duty loaded their bullets. Hundreds of muzzles were instantly aimed at Sun Yuanliang and the soldiers behind him.
If anyone dared to move at this moment, they could only laugh.
"Just based on this!" Chen Zhihua pointed at the tanks and guns behind him.
"I refuse to accept this. You're just a volunteer. What right do you have to capture a major general of the Central Army? How many contributions did my 88th Division make at the front line? Just because he scolded you, he wanted to arrest you for not going to the front line? " Preposterous…" Sun Yuanliang jumped up and retorted.
"What have you done? Do you still need me to say it out loud? The soldiers of the Eighty-eighth Division did make a lot of contributions, but it has nothing to do with you. It's not too much to say that you killed a quarter of the thousands of brothers who died in battle, right?”Chen Zhihua glanced at Sun Yuanliang. He originally didn't want to bother with this guy, but this guy was still nagging and swearing at him. Did he really think that the volunteer army was the headquarters of the 88th Division?
"A person needs evidence to speak!”Sun Yuanliang suddenly looked at Chen Zhihua.
"Is that so? Then tell me, where did the national defense funds allocated by the Ministry of Finance go? Where did you get the materials to build the fortifications? Didn't he know what was going on? How many soldiers have died under these substandard fortifications? Have you calculated? How many of the female students who went to express their condolences came out intact?”Chen Zhihua said one by one.
This General Sun also had another nickname, the Flying General of the current generation. However, unlike the real Flying General Li Guang, this one was the complete opposite.
Previously, he had done many evil deeds, but because he was loyal enough, after committing a capital crime, he went to the Japanese for two years. When he returned, he became a regiment commander, and then he was promoted to the commander of the 88th division. During this period, he earned a lot of money.
The most classic example was to directly pocket the 260,000 yuan allocated by the Ministry of Finance for national defense construction. Then, he asked the soldiers to go to the streets of Shanghai to find uninhabited houses to demolish and build the construction materials. These things were naturally not a problem for civilian use, but to build the construction, they had to carry bombs. Could they withstand it?
Other than that, Sun Yuanliang would definitely have a deep conversation with the female students who were good-looking, regardless of whether they wanted to have a deep conversation with him or not.
And what really made Sun Yuanliang angry was because of the retreat?
