Chapter 1094 Sun Yuanliang

Looking at these neat and orderly footprints, Ye Tian's eyes were like torches.

At the same time, Ye Tian was still sighing.

In the real history of the War of Resistance, China was not passive in general.

And this reason mainly includes two aspects.

First, most of the devils are veterans of hundreds of battles, especially in the early days of the War of Resistance.

That's not all, all the devils have undergone two years of regular recruit training.

On the other hand, most of the Chinese soldiers are farmers who have just thrown away their farm tools.

To put it bluntly, a large number of Chinese soldiers have come to the battlefield, but it is difficult to estimate the distance.

If the distance estimation is not done well, it is natural that the shooting skills of Chinese soldiers are simply unbearable.

On the other hand, the devils, each of them can be described as a sharpshooter.

Second, the equipment of the soldiers of the two countries is simply very different.

Not to mention airplanes, cannons, warships, and even heavy machine guns, just talk about shoes.

Every devil has sturdy and durable military boots.

On the other hand, most Chinese soldiers wear straw sandals.

Even in the Chinese government army, the most elite troops, the expeditionary force, also mainly wear straw sandals!

Even more, the first motorized unit in China, the 200th Division, also wears straw sandals and gray cloth uniforms.

To put it bluntly, if a soldier's uniform is not patched, it will definitely make other soldiers envious!

His mind was racing, and in Ye Tian's ears, it seemed that there was a sound of the Japanese army boots stepping on the ground in an orderly manner.

Thinking of this, he curled his lips, took a deep breath, and followed the traces of these army boots, and Ye Tian continued to follow the clues.

At this time, Ye Tian forgot the fatigue all over his body.

But his face was full of hatred for the Japanese.

It must be said that although there was Akiha Ikeda's confession, it was not easy for Ye Tian to find the headquarters of the third battalion.

The reason is very simple. Like the other three infantry squadrons, the headquarters of the third battalion is also moving rapidly.

The most important thing is that, in name, their route is a straight line.

However, because the terrain is slightly complicated, and because they have to sweep the villages and towns ahead, and annihilate the Chinese troops ahead.

Therefore, their movement routes often change.

However, considering that there are still traces to follow, Ye Tian was not discouraged.

In addition, Ye Tian’s current focus should be on a certain infantry squadron under the Third Battalion.

The reason is very simple. The transport squadron equipped with mule and horse carts is advancing with the battalion headquarters.

However, Ye Tian did not find any traces left by the wheels.

According to this situation, Ye Tian quickly formulated a preliminary battle plan.

It’s very simple, find this squadron first.

After finding it, try to capture the Japanese squadron leader, or the deputy squadron leader and other big Japanese devils alive.

Next, it’s violent interrogation.

Ye Tian believes that by doing this, the specific location of the Third Battalion headquarters can definitely be found.

You have to eat one bite at a time and walk one step at a time.

If you want to restart the super anti-war system, you must kill the current commander-in-chief of the Central China Front Army, Prince Asaka Naruhiko.

However, before that, the captain of the third battalion, the captain of the ninth regiment, and the commander of the 16th division should be found one after another.

Only by finding these three big devils can we get the information of Prince Higashikuni Naruhiko.

"Hehe, Prince Higashikuni Naruhiko, if I don't make you regret coming to this world, I will lose!"

Pouting, greedily sucking the seized devil cigarettes, Ye Tian deliberately quickened his pace.

Soon, Ye Tian made another discovery.

The devil's footprints suddenly became much messier.

Obviously, after a period of marching formation, the devil entered the mode of forced march.

In other words, it is very likely that this devil squadron is fighting with a Chinese army!

If it is a simple sweep of a village, the devil will never do this.

Also, against some unarmed Chinese people, the devils don't have to play with cannons to shoot mosquitoes.

In fact, against the Chinese army that is five times their own, the devil troops are very calm.

"There is a situation!"

Thinking of this, Ye Tian did not dare to neglect.

Naturally, following these traces, Ye Tian ran.

...

In the real history of the War of Resistance Against Japan, there are many celebrities in China.

Among them, Sun Yuanliang, the commander of the 88th Division of the German-equipped Division, is one of them.

In June 1924, because of his high level of education, after successfully passing the initial and re-examinations, Sun Yuanliang became the first student of the Whampoa Military Academy.

Then, Sun Yuanliang officially started his military career.

In 1932, he served as the commander of the 259th Brigade and participated in the Battle of Shanghai on January 28.

It is worth mentioning that in Miaohang Town, he led his troops to repel the devils.

And this battle is recognized internationally as "the first battle in which the Chinese government army defeated the devils."

Naturally, because of this battle, Sun Yuanliang won the Baoding Medal.

Most importantly, he served as the commander of the ace army, the 88th Division of the German-equipped elite division.

And, like many elite Chinese troops, Sun Yuanliang also led his troops to participate in the Battle of Shanghai.

On November 5, 1937, under the leadership of Yanagawa Heisuke, the island nation's 10th Army successfully landed at Jinshanwei in Hangzhou Bay.

In this way, the 10th Army and Matsui Iwane's Shanghai Expeditionary Force formed a situation.

It was very simple, it was the encirclement of the Chinese Third War Zone troops on the Songhu front.

Faced with this unfavorable situation, the Chinese government army was very unwilling.

Naturally, the nearly one million troops launched a desperate counterattack against the two Japanese armies.

Unfortunately, facing the devils with strong individual combat capabilities, excellent group combat awareness, and numerous heavy weapons, the Chinese army's counterattack was very mediocre.

In desperation, in order to avoid the annihilation of the entire army and smoothly implement the strategy of protracted war by Mr. Jiang Baili, the first military god of China, the Chinese government army had to move towards Nanjing.

However, due to the confusion of command and the poor communication means, the retreat turned into a rout.

And the 88th Division was in the same state.

In fact, according to the order of the Supreme Command, the 88th Division should not retreat, but should hold on to Zhabei.

Doing so would undoubtedly cause this ace army to be wiped out by the devils.

However, even if the 88th Division was wiped out, it would not be without benefits for China.

The reason is very simple. Once a country friendly to China finds out that China is still fighting bravely, it will definitely continue to help China.

However, Sun Yuanliang was very sober.

According to the actual situation, Sun Yuanliang told his superiors that there was no need to make too many unnecessary sacrifices.

Sun Yuanliang meant that a capable force should be selected to stay and cover the retreat of the army.

Sun Yuanliang's proposal was recognized by the Supreme Command of China.

So Sun Yuanliang entrusted the important task of guarding the last position of Zhabei to the 1st Battalion of the 524th Regiment of his unit.

It was because of this that the deputy commander of the regiment, Xie Jinyuan, personally led 800 warriors to defend the Sihang Warehouse alone.

In fact, the so-called 800 warriors were just a show.

The actual strength of this first battalion was only 450 people.

In other words, this unit was a reinforced battalion.

Afterwards, because the Sihang Warehouse really lived up to expectations, Sun Yuanliang made another contribution.

While continuing to serve as the commander of the 88th Division, Sun Yuanliang was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant General of the 72nd Army.

That's not all. Once again, he was awarded the Cloud Banner Medal.

However, this is all for the future.

Now, Sun Yuanliang is very distressed.
