Chapter 1392 Sun Yuanliang's Thoughts

In fact, the 88th Division's respite did not last too long.

According to the emergency transfer order of the Central China Front Army, the 6th Division and the 114th Division both pulled a lot of troops from the Yuhuatai front.

Although the main forces were withdrawn one after another, it was not convenient for the 88th Division to take the opportunity to rush out of the front line.

In other words, it was to evacuate to Nanjing City immediately.

In fact, Yuhuatai is only one kilometer away from Nanjing City.

Once the troops were evacuated, Nanjing City would definitely be hit head-on by the Japanese and puppet coalition forces.

At that time, Nanjing City was absolutely in danger.

In a word, the 88th Division would never retreat easily unless it was absolutely necessary.

In fact, this was also the death order issued by the Chinese Supreme Command and the City Defense Command to the 88th Division.

It could not take the opportunity to evacuate because of heavy losses, and it was not convenient to launch a counterattack against the remaining troops of the 6th Division and the 114th Division.

There was no other way, the 88th Division had to use this limited time to quickly reorganize the troops.

Of course, they also took the opportunity to repair the positions destroyed by the Japanese army.

However, while busy doing these tasks, the 88th Division was full of doubts.

Even if they racked their brains, they couldn't figure out why the 6th Division and the 114th Division chose to evacuate most of the troops when they were about to capture Yuhuatai and directly bombard Nanjing City.

If you can't figure it out, then don't think about it.

Taking advantage of this hard-won opportunity, it is the most important to prepare for the next attack of the Japanese army.

…

The headquarters of the 72nd Army is also the headquarters of the 88th Division.

The commander of the 72nd Army, that is, the commander of the 88th Division, is Sun Yuanliang.

This army is different from other armies. There is only one division under it.

Feeling that the battle situation is very strange, while full of joy, Sun Yuanliang's head is full of question marks.

Under his orders, his subordinates are busy preparing for war.

But Sun Yuanliang is idle.

Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you fight a hundred battles without danger.

Realizing this, in order to fight the next defensive battle well, Sun Yuanliang did not dare to neglect it.

As soon as he was free, Sun Yuanliang contacted the Nanjing City Defense Headquarters as soon as possible.

In this way, Sun Yuanliang's purpose was very simple, which was to find out the situation.

What made Sun Yuanliang depressed was that Commander-in-Chief Tang Shengzhi, Deputy Commander-in-Chief Liu Xing and others were all confused about this situation.

There was no way to figure it out, so Sun Yuanliang had to continue to urge the troops and let the soldiers make all preparations for the battle.

Like Tang Shengzhi, Liu Xing, and even the Supreme Command of China, Sun Yuanliang was very concerned about a unit at this time.

This unit was the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army!

Not long after, Sun Yuanliang figured out the situation from various channels.

It turned out that the cause of this situation was the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army.

The most important thing is that now, the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army is being surrounded by the Japanese and puppet coalition forces.

The key point is that the Army Air Force of the Central China Front Army and the Navy Air Force of the Third Fleet are constantly bombing the positions of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army.

The Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army is in danger!

This...

Realizing this, Sun Yuanliang's expression is very colorful.

His subordinates have received help from the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army. Besides, although the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army has few troops, it has repeatedly inflicted heavy losses on the Japanese and puppet coalition forces.

Therefore, Sun Yuanliang wanted to help the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army at this critical moment.

Ideals are full, but reality is very skinny.

What makes Sun Yuanliang depressed is that he wants to provide help, but he can't do it.

The reason is simple. The geographical location of the Yuhuatai position is too important, and it is responsible for the major strategic responsibility of defending the city of Nanjing.

What's more, under the repeated attacks of the 6th Division and the 114th Division, the position is about to be lost.

Therefore, although he knew that the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army was extremely dangerous, Sun Yuanliang was unable to provide timely help.

To put it bluntly, the current battle situation is already a difficult situation for the 88th Division.

There is no way, Sun Yuanliang can only hope for a miracle.

What miracle?

It is very simple, that is, to hope that the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army can escape this disaster.

Moreover, Sun Yuanliang quickly used his brain and came up with a good idea.

If the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army can escape by chance, he does not mind visiting three times.

In Sun Yuanliang's mind, the combat effectiveness of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army is not ordinary, although they have the advantages of advanced weapons and sufficient ammunition.

In a word, casually pulling out a person from the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army is a strong soldier.

Sun Yuanliang planned that if he could convince the survivors of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, he would entrust them with important tasks.

Those who were not injured would be appointed as company commanders, battalion commanders, or even regiment commanders.

Of course, Sun Yuanliang had no choice but to do so.

After the Battle of Songhu, this German-equipped division was no longer worthy of its name.

Most of its heavy weapons were damaged and had not been properly replenished.

Most importantly, in addition to sacrificing many frontline soldiers, the 88th Division also lost many middle and low-level officers.

As we all know, in the army, if you want to exert the team's combat effectiveness, middle and low-level officers are indispensable.

In the battle, these middle and low-level officers must follow the frontline soldiers to charge into battle.

The most important thing is that they have to go to the front line and conduct various tactical commands.

In the Battle of Songhu, the 88th Division lost many grassroots officers.

In the defense of Yuhuatai, a large number of them were lost.

In a word, for Sun Yuanliang, it is the time to use people.

In this case, and with the excellent soldiers of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, Sun Yuanliang's plan is absolutely reasonable.

Even, continuing to use his brain, Sun Yuanliang came up with another good idea.

Sun Yuanliang planned that as long as the soldiers of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army were not dead, he would accept all of them even if they were seriously injured.

Although they were injured, there was no problem in remotely commanding a unit or training a unit.

As for Ye Tian, ​​the main general of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, if he had not died in battle, Sun Yuanliang planned to reuse him.

Considering that Ye Tian's tactical thinking is very good and even has a strategic vision, Sun Yuanliang does not intend to let him be transferred to the unit.

In other words, Sun Yuanliang thought that he could let Ye Tian stay in this division headquarters and serve as the deputy division commander!

After Ye Tian arrives, I will discuss with him about the defense of Yuhuatai, especially the upcoming defense of Nanjing, so as to fight these battles well.

"Hehe..."

Thinking that this operation can not only repay Ye Tian's help to his subordinates, but also greatly improve the combat effectiveness of the troops, Sun Yuanliang laughed again.

Suddenly, something strange happened!

At the same time, Sun Yuanliang's smile froze.
