Chapter 1287: Dispersed Breakout

The ghost fleet has safely retreated after creating brilliant results? !

After receiving Ye Tian's telegram, the Chinese Supreme Command breathed a sigh of relief.

Since the ghost fleet has retreated, the next focus is to let these river defense forces advance and retreat.

At present, the defense of Nanjing has begun.

The key point is that more and more devil troops are gathering around Nanjing.

Once the tens of thousands of soldiers of the Jiangyin River Defense Army are surrounded by the devil troops, they may be wiped out.

In this way, the Nanjing city defense force will lose a fresh force.

In fact, many devils have surrounded the Jiangyin River Defense Army.

Fortunately, the encirclement is not very dense.

Specifically, the thickness of the encirclement is not very large.

However, the thickness of the encirclement has been increasing.

If you don't retreat, you will never have another chance.

Besides, the ghost fleet has already eliminated a major threat to the retreat of the Jiangyin River Defense Army.

If you don't retreat at this time, when will you retreat? !

Realizing this, the Chinese Supreme Command immediately telegraphed the Jiangyin River Defense Army.

Now, there are still a few hours before dawn.

The Jiangyin River Defense Army must break out immediately, without any mistakes!

Soon, the Jiangyin River Defense Command received this telegram from the Chinese Supreme Command.

After receiving the order, and given the actual situation, General Liu Xing did not dare to neglect it.

Without hesitation, General Liu Xing issued a breakout and retreat order to each unit.

Starting at three o'clock in the morning, the various units of the Jiang Defense Army immediately dispersed and broke out along the designated routes!

Each vanguard unit must open a gap in the shortest possible time.

The blocking unit must be prepared to sacrifice for the country.

Soon, each Jiang Defense Army received this notice.

Then, according to the battle plan prepared in advance by each unit, each unit immediately took action.

At 4 o'clock in the morning, the entire 112th Division successfully broke out.

The county garrison, led by Brigade Commander Ma Wanzhen, retreated to the Zhenjiang area.

However, after discovering that the 112th Division had successfully broken through, the Japanese became angry and immediately began to chase and kill.

The 667th Regiment of the 112th Division was responsible for blocking the Japanese for the entire division.

For this reason, the 112th Division left almost all of its heavy weapons to the 667th Regiment.

However, compared with the Japanese, the weapons and equipment of the 667th Regiment were still far behind.

Naturally, the 667th Regiment was very passive.

However, in line with the purpose of sacrificing for the country, the 667th Regiment continued to carry forward the fearless spirit and fought desperately with the pursuing Japanese.

While the 112th Division and other troops were breaking through in a dispersed manner, many fortress soldiers were also busy on the positions of the fortresses in Jiangyin.

In order to cover the retreat of the troops, under the order of Commander Xu, the fortress artillery continued to bombard the Japanese.

It must be said that Ye Tian destroyed the 11th Squadron of the Third Fleet of the Island Country, which provided great help for Commander Xu to do so.

At this moment, the fortress guns no longer care about the bombardment of the 11th Fleet.

For this reason, the fortress guns provided strong help for the retreat of various troops.

Naturally, groups of devils had to fall halfway while chasing the Chinese troops.

Commander Xu was overjoyed when he received the news that many troops had successfully broken through.

Feeling that it was almost done, Commander Xu had to make a difficult decision.

What difficult decision?

It was very simple. Before the retreat, all the fortress guns should be destroyed as much as possible.

Of course, if you can take away various measuring instruments, you can unload them and take them away together.

Finally, all the soldiers will break through.

Commander Xu gave an order, and the soldiers had very complicated feelings.

Jiangyin is China's naval base, and the fortresses everywhere are extremely important units.

Many fortress soldiers have made a lot of efforts to build this base.

In the minds of many fortress soldiers, the power of these fortresses is not ordinary.

If I have to describe it, it should be comparable to the Macedonian defense line of the European and American powers.

Unfortunately, when the Japanese navy, army and air force attacked, the entire defense line fell into chaos.

In fact, these fortress soldiers fully understood these chaotic states.

The troops that provided outer defense for many fortresses were all the remnants of the defeated troops withdrawn from the battlefield of the Battle of Shanghai.

These troops not only suffered heavy casualties in the Battle of Shanghai, but also lost a lot of heavy weapons.

In this case, it was difficult for them to provide strong defense for the fortresses, so that the fortress guns could focus on bombing the Japanese.

In addition, facing the superior firepower of the Japanese, especially the bombing of many aircraft, the only remaining naval ships of China almost became live targets.

There was no way. The defense of Jiangyin had not ended yet, and the Chinese Navy had to accept the tragedy of annihilation.

In fact, although many fortresses could still fight after suffering from the Japanese bombardment.

Unfortunately, this persistence has no meaning after losing the outer defense.

Most importantly, from a global perspective, there is no need to preserve so many fortresses.

Jiangyin Fortress is an important support for Xicheng's national defense line.

However, with the development of science and technology, especially the emergence of the air force, the defense of the fortress has become increasingly difficult.

The most important thing is that the Wufu National Defense Line, the Xicheng National Defense Line, and the Zhapingjia National Defense Line between Shanghai and Hangzhou have all been declared lost one after another.

Of course, like the current Jiangyin National Defense Line, some national defense lines have taken the path of abandonment.

So many national defense lines have been lost one after another, indicating that the capital Nanjing has been opened.

The key point is that with the remaining power of the victory in the Battle of Songhu, the Central China Front Army of the devils continued to gather around Nanjing.

While gathering, relying on superior firepower, especially the numerous aircraft of the air force, the Central China Front Army repeatedly bombed various important military targets.

In a word, there are no strongholds that are easy to defend and difficult to attack around the entire capital.

In this case, no matter how hard the Chinese soldiers try, they cannot launch a meaningful blocking battle.

That's not all. Take Jiangyin as an example. Among the many defense lines in Nanjing, with the opening of the Nanjing Defense War, the position is too advanced.

Considering these situations, plus the main general General Liu Xing, especially the Chinese Supreme Command has issued an order to abandon the defense, there is no way, many fortress soldiers have to start sabotage.

Soon, the soldiers suppressed their sadness and started to work.

These fortress cannons are valuable, and the most important thing is that they are still powerful.

Most importantly, they can still be used.

Right now, we have to retreat, and we can't leave them to the devils!

Otherwise, once they are captured by the devils, the consequences will be disastrous.

Based on these principles, many fortress soldiers dare not neglect.

Relying on various military knowledge and the urgency of the military situation, they all fought hard.
