Just as Yang Lihan began to make arrangements to secretly break out of the encirclement!
In the western suburbs of Huhai City, at the 3rd Division of the 98th Army!
"Motherf * cker, we can't fight this battle! The devils actually increased their troops by 200,000 and even landed from the rear of Jinshan Wei. Once they drive north and surround the Shigen devils, our 80-plus divisions on the Songhu battlefield will be surrounded by the devils!!”
Fan Xiliang stared at the map and cursed.
Not long ago, the highest command of the 3rd Battle Area had already sent the latest battle report to all the major armies and divisions.
What Fan Xiliang and the other high-ranking officers didn't expect was that while they were fighting the Japanese at the front line, they didn't expect that their retreat would be silently cut off by the Japanese!
Even if they reacted now, the Guo Army was no longer able to help the Golden Mountain Guards. They could only watch as the devils added five more divisions and landed north from Jiangsu and Zhejiang. They could only watch as the devils surrounded them!
"Isn't that so! The defeat of the Songhu battlefield has been decided. The Head must immediately give the order for our army to slowly withdraw from the Songhu battlefield, preserve our strength, and calmly arrange for the defense of Nandu!”
The chief of staff also sighed. If the chief was smart enough, he would make the main force of the Guo army retreat before the Japanese surrounded them. There was still time!
"The Head will give the order? Did he really think that he, Yang Lihan, was the Head Seat? A mere battalion commander dared to defy the principal's orders time and time again?! The Head Chief's military order is for us to defend to the death and not yield an inch of land!”
Fan Xiliang complained again. At the same time, he was also speechless with admiration for Yang Lihan!
Damn it, he actually dared to defy the principal's order again!
That kid really had guts!
Logically speaking, the bald principal's order to Yang Lihan was a secret order, and Fan Xiliang's level of power couldn't possibly know about it.
However, there would always be a wall that would let in the wind, and there would always be busybodies who would expose it!
Therefore, when this news spread, the entire army was shocked and amazed. They all sighed at Yang Li Han's crazy death.
This was already the second time he had disobeyed the leader's orders!
"The vice-chancellor still has fantasies about the western powers! They always wanted to win the sympathy of the western powers in the Nine Nations Alliance, so much so that they didn't hesitate to let hundreds of divisions on the Songhu battlefield defend to the death! It would be best if they could last until the end of the Nine Nations Conference!”
"But don't you think about it? Speed is important in war. If we delay for a few days and wait for the devils to officially surround us, then all the millions of our soldiers on the Songhu battlefield will be wiped out!”
Fan Xiliang hated it!
He did not believe that the bald principal could not see this!
However, it was always at a critical moment that they had fantasies about the western powers and became obsessed. There was no solution!
The Chief of Staff was silent, but he couldn't slander the Supreme Leader behind his back.
"Oh right, Chief of Staff! How is Yang Lihan? I haven't heard any big news about him in the past two days!”Fan Xiliang was concerned about this little brother again.
"What big news can there be? Now, the Japanese had learned their lesson and were playing a war of attrition with Yang Lihan! With the military supplies we left for Yang Lihan, he won't be able to last much longer!”
"On the other hand, our principal thinks very highly of Yang Lihan. He even sent Mr. Song from the Executive Yuan to Shanghai to persuade Yang Lihan to retreat into the International Settlement. I think in the next two days, Yang Lihan will lead his troops to retreat into the International Settlement!”
The Chief of Staff had also been paying attention to the North Gate's fourth-row warehouse under Yang Lihan's command.
"Retreating to the International Settlement is good, at least I can save my life! However, it would be difficult for the principal to rescue Brother Yang from the concession!”
Fan Xiliang didn't think that the people from the military would be able to rescue Yang Lihan from the concession.
"I hope that Brother Yang will be blessed by the heavens!”The chief of staff felt extremely regretful.
……
Huhai City, Nightless City, the south bank of the Suhe River in Shili Yangchang!
Deputy Director Song of the Executive Yuan, who was dressed in formal attire, shouted into the four-row warehouse opposite him through a loudspeaker," Brothers of the 1st Battalion, Battalion Commander Yang, I am the Vice-President of the Executive Yuan, Song Zhiwen. I have brought with me the highest order from the Military and Political Affairs Council. I want you to defend the Sihang Warehouse. Your mission has been successfully completed. The Military and Political Affairs Council has ordered you to retreat into the International Settlement and lay down your weapons for use…"
"Battalion Commander Yang, it is the duty of a soldier to obey military orders.”
Deputy Dean Song also tried his best to persuade them. He even negotiated with the Eagle Consulate-General to let the 1st Battalion retreat to the British Settlement, hoping to return to the Guo Army series!
However, the Eagle Consulate-General rejected him!
If they really did that, the Japanese would definitely take advantage of the situation to enter Eagle Settlement and capture the people. At that time, they would ask the Guo Party authorities if they could bear the responsibility.
Therefore, the Eagle Consulate-General only guaranteed the safety of the 1st Battalion after they disarmed themselves.
After the negotiation failed, Vice School Head Song could only order Yang Lihan's troops to lay down their weapons!
At the very least, he had to preserve his life!
As for the rescue, he would plan it slowly.
"Brothers Guo Jun, obey my orders and retreat! You guys have done well enough. It's meaningless to hold on to the four warehouses in Lonely City.”
"That's right! Brothers Guo Jun, as long as there's life, there's hope. Let's keep ourselves useful and fight the devils another day!”
……
With Director Song's lead, the citizens of South Bank all persuaded Yang Lihan's troops to give up the four warehouses and retreat into the public concession to protect their lives.
"Battalion Commander, this is the highest order of the Military and Political Council!”
Hearing the shouts outside, Cripple Meng smacked his tongue and reminded.
This was the highest military order!
Once he disobeyed!
So what if they broke out from the front?
He would still have to go to the military court!
"Retreating into the concession is a cowardly death. If we break out of the encirclement head-on, even if we are punished in the future, we can still kill the devils happily! Battalion Commander, give the order!"
Long Wenzhang saw through it very clearly this time. His gaze was no longer as sly as before as he said firmly.
"Camp Leader, we will not retreat, we will not surrender!”
"Battalion Commander, fighting to the death and killing the enemy is the highest military order of a soldier!”
……
Yang Lihan stood up and looked at the other side of the Su River with a solemn expression. He looked at the citizens on the other side who were looking forward to it!
He looked at the Deputy Director of the Executive Yuan who had specially come over from Nandu!
In the crowd, he saw a familiar yet unfamiliar figure. It was the commander's third brother, Yang Liren!
Yang Lihan didn't expect to meet his own brother again. It would be like this across the river!
Yang Liren was also silently looking at Yang Lihan. He must be waiting for Yang Lihan to make a decision!
