Chapter 225: The Word

144th Division Command Post!

Yu Hua also received a phone call from Liu Zhangqing.

After hanging up the phone, he looked at Guo Xunqi, "Guo Laoge!"

"Our Sichuan Army 23rd Group Army has won the first battle and basically wiped out the little devils who came ashore."

Upon hearing this!

The Sichuan Army personnel inside the command post applauded happily!

"Good, good, good..."

For Principal Chang, what he least wants to hear right now is the word "retreat."

"I'm afraid the fighting has already started in the Jinshanwei area by now."

"His division only has ten thousand and some people."

The troops committed to the Songhu Battlefield number nearly 700,000, and now there are over 180,000 casualties.

However, Guo Xunqi emphasized that the little devils would not launch a landing under the cover of night.

Everyone was speaking, and none of them noticed Principal Chang's expression.

After Pan Wenhua took the telegram!

Fu Chang still had confidence in Yu Hua, "Yang Sen is right."

Guo Xunqi called over a Communications Soldier to draft a telegram.

"I am not afraid of the 23rd Group Army being crippled."

"The elite of my Republic of China troops are all in the Songhu Region now."

"Tang, you don't need to worry too much."

"Guo still hasn't contacted us even now."

He placed it directly on the desk.

"Our own casualties are about one thousand!"

In Jinling!

The Command Headquarters also received the telegram from the Sichuan Army.

"Our 23rd Group Army has finally fought a victorious battle in the Seventh War Zone."

The headquarters' Communications Soldier ran in, flustered.

"The 10th Army has landed at Jinshanwei; this is an attempt to outflank our army's rear."

"The pressure on the 144th Division is still very great."

This was just like hearing others praise one's own son.

Last night!

"It is estimated that it won't be long before the relevant telegrams arrive."

"Young Yu will certainly put his intelligence and talent to good use."

"Yes... yes..."

Following closely was He Yingqin, who also proposed a retreat.

In the first battle after entering the Seventh War Zone, the Sichuan Army finally lived up to expectations and achieved a good start!

Hurry and arrange for the defenders in the Songhu Region to retreat as soon as possible and enter the National Defense Line.

"We can send a report of victory to the Marshal!"

Today, the 144th Division has annihilated a regiment of devils at Jinshanwei.

In the telegram, the Sichuan Army only mentioned in passing that they had annihilated the vanguard of the 10th Army at Jinshanwei.

"Congratulations, Marshal!"

At the same time!

"I see the battle in the Jinshanwei Sea Area is nearing its end."

Deng Xihou waved his hand: "Marshal, with Young Yu there."

"Our Sichuan Army 23rd Group Army has won the first battle in the Seventh War Zone."

Tang's heart was extremely excited at this moment.

"Let the Sichuan Army in the Seventh War Zone avoid contact with the 10th Army's heavy weapons."

"I have no confidence in my heart."

He, Tang, could finally hold his head high.

"Once the devils capture the radio waves, they will mobilize Naval Guns and aircraft to bomb."

"The 144th Division maintaining radio silence is also for the safety of the command post."

"My unit carried out a counterattack against them according to the predetermined plan."

If the first battle was not fought well!

If Tang Shizun wanted to make the people of the whole country recognize him again, that would be out of the question.

Rely on defensive fortifications to intercept the little devils.

If the fighting continues, it will be a major blow to our strength!

"Pan!"

They had just received Guo Xunqi's telegram that a little devil fleet had been discovered in the Jinshanwei Sea Area.

Liu Dashuai nodded, "I will also send a telegram to Yu Hua."

The 23rd Group Army was his own direct subordinate force.

Bai Zhuge spoke first, "Principal!"

His eyes began to glow.

"Principal!"

After finishing the telegram!

Tang Shizun let out a long, heavy breath: "Huhu..."

Tang Shizun looked at Pan Wenhua, "The Tenth Army has landed at Jinshanwei, just as old Guo predicted."

According to what Yu Hua said, the fighting in this Seventh War Zone was all under his own command.

"About four thousand Japanese soldiers have come ashore."

Sun Zhen picked up his teacup and took a sip of hot tea: "Marshal."

Principal Chang!

Upon learning of this matter, it also caused the high-ranking officials in Jinling to quickly convene a meeting.

"Now that we have won a great victory, the days ahead may be even harder."

In Jin Province!

In the Niangziguan area, Marshal Liu naturally also received the report of victory from the 23rd Group Army.

Marshal Liu's cheeks were brimming with a look of joy.

"Only taking advantage, never suffering a loss!"

Just as Fu Chang's voice had finished falling.

The rest of the content was for the high-ranking officials at the Nanjing Command.

"Great victory at Jinshanwei!"

"Taking advantage of the Sichuan Army repelling the vanguard of the Tenth Army, issue an order early to have the frontline troops withdraw into the National Defense Line."

Yang Sen walked forward: "This kid Yu Hua is personally commanding on the front line."

Stretching his neck, he looked at the telegram on the table.

Feeling completely comfortable... floating as if on air!

Marshal Liu put down the telegram in his hand: "According to Yu Hua's description."

Everyone crowded around Pan Wenhua, one pressing against the other.

They all indicated that the Songhu Battlefield could no longer be fought.

Pan Wenhua nodded: "It's already ten o'clock in the morning!"

Hearing the Communications Soldier shout, Pan Wenhua, Tang Shizun, and the others all stood up excitedly.

"These little Japanese devils haven't even used their heavy weapons yet."

Running while shouting: "Great victory at Jinshanwei!"

Tang, currently serving as the Commander of the 23rd Group Army, felt very anxious in his heart.

"We should consider withdrawing our troops!"

"There won't be any major trouble!"

Everyone was also very happy at this moment!

Currently in the Songhu Region, the casualties of the troops have already reached 180,000.

This first battle of the Seventh War Zone concerns not only the reputation of the Sichuan Army but also the reputation of him, Tang.

It was written on it: "The Japanese Tenth Army, taking advantage of the morning high tide."

"The Japanese who came ashore this time are all light infantry."

On the telegram was the report of this Jinshanwei battle.

The 144th Division set a good omen for the 23rd Group Army.

Sending two telegrams, one to Marshal Liu and the other to the 23rd Group Army Headquarters.

"My 144th Division annihilated one regiment of the Japanese Tenth Army this morning."

Tang Shizun frowned slightly upon hearing this: "These little Japanese devils of the Tenth Army number over one hundred thousand."

"The 23rd Group Army has achieved excellent results."

"Four thousand Japanese annihilated, with only a few hundred Japanese left on the beach who could not be annihilated."

The other generals, Xu Yongchang, Tang Shengzhi, Chen Shaokuan, Zhou Zhirou, and so on.

"However, every time we fight, I must have you annihilate a large number of the little Japanese devils' effective strength."

Tang Shizun, Pan Wenhua, Yang Sen, and others were also looking at the map of Jinshanwei.

"For the 144th Division, this is simply a huge trouble."

"A great victory!"

"Don't you know kid Yu by now!"

Everyone also hoped to withdraw the troops now and let the units in the Songhu Region enter the National Defense Line.

"Old Guo didn't request reinforcements; I see he has already repelled the first wave of Japanese."

"At worst, I will recruit soldiers again in Sichuan Province and reorganize the troops."

In Wuhu!

The command post of the Seventh War Zone.

Relying on fortifications, they resisted the advance of the little Japanese devils step by step.

"After all, Jinshanwei is very close to the little Japanese fleet."

Only Dai Chunfeng, Qian Dajun, and Lin Wei noticed that Principal Chang's expression did not look very good.

Facing the Japanese sea, land, and air integrated firepower head-on.

"With Adjutant Yu there, just wait for the report of victory."

The group of big men in the Sichuan Army didn't care about their image at all.

The other Sichuan Army generals were also laughing happily.

In a place as small as the palm of a hand like Songhu, fighting against the little devils was entirely a matter of using flesh and blood.

"Let's take this opportunity to order a retreat."

"Launch the landing at Jinshanwei between five and six o'clock."

"These soldiers are the foundation for our Protracted Warfare."

"We absolutely cannot let the little devils wipe them out completely."

"The 144th Division certainly won't suffer a major loss."

"This matter should also be reported in the newspapers to proclaim the battle results of our Sichuan Army 23rd Group Army."

Sun Zhen and Deng Xihou also offered their congratulations to Liu Dashuai.

Quite a few generals also felt very pained!

"Ahem..."

Principal Chang cleared his throat.
