Chapter 1915 The Worst Defeat (Thanks to User Fu Chenglong for the Reward!)

In fact, Ye Tian started a secret operation two months ago.

Of course, this secret operation is related to the war of resistance.

In Ye Tian's impression, there was a very special battle in the real history of the war of resistance.

This battle took place during the stalemate period of the all-out war of resistance, specifically from May 7 to May 27, 1941.

In history, this battle was called the Battle of Zhongtiao Mountain, or the Battle of Zhongtiao Mountain in Southern Shanxi.

As the name suggests, this battle took place in the Zhongtiao Mountain area in southern Shanxi Province.

On the Chinese side, the 180,000 soldiers of the government army participated in the battle.

On the island side, there were more than 100,000 devils.

At the beginning of the battle, the devils outside Zhongtiao Mountain, with the help of many aircraft, launched a fierce offensive from the east, north and west.

What makes people sigh is that at this time, the Chinese side suffered extremely heavy casualties due to insufficient preparation and chaotic command.

To be precise, in this battle that lasted more than a month, more than 40,000 Chinese soldiers were killed.

Nearly 40,000 soldiers were captured by the devils!

Except for a few small troops who saw the bad opportunity and broke through the siege, most of the other soldiers were forced to become fleeing soldiers under the devils' crazy attack!

In a word, in this battle, China suffered a crushing defeat, while the devils won a great victory!

In the eyes of many people, the Battle of Zhongtiao Mountain was the biggest shame of China during the period of the all-out war of resistance.

Of course, there are reasons for China's crushing defeat.

First, in this battle, the devils really fought hard.

On the other hand, China was seriously unprepared.

In fact, before the battle, under the command of General Wei Lihuang, China's 260,000 troops had been confronting the four divisions of the island country.

For this reason, the Zhongtiao Mountain Line of Defense was so solid.

Moreover, many people called the Zhongtiao Mountain Line of Defense the Maginot Line of the East.

The long-term solid situation of the line of defense made the psychology of many important Chinese people swell.

Considering that other battlefields were short of soldiers and generals, more than 80,000 soldiers of the Zhongtiao Mountain Defense Line were withdrawn from the defense zone.

In particular, the Fourth Army, which was known as the Dinghaishenzhen of the Zhongtiao Mountain Defense Line, was completely transferred away!

Naturally, the Zhongtiao Mountain Defense Line, which was once known as the Maginot Line, is no longer as solid as it used to be.

To be honest, if 100,000 Japanese troops attack together, China needs to send at least 500,000 troops to defend.

This time, the 100,000 Japanese troops came to attack, and they absolutely had an overwhelming advantage.

Even, it can be described as killing a chicken with a butcher knife.

What's more, like the previous major battles, before the battle started, the Japanese army did a very good job in intelligence work.

Various Japanese spies, with the help and guidance of traitors, appeared in various core locations of the Zhongtiao Mountain Defense Line.

Even near each command post, there were many Japanese spies and traitors lurking.

The pre-war sand table exercise fully proved that within an hour of the start of the war, the Japanese spies could easily destroy all the command organs of China.

The Japanese army was so well prepared, while the Chinese side was still immersed in the former indestructible Zhongtiao Mountain defense line and could not extricate themselves.

To put it bluntly, 180,000 Chinese soldiers were waiting to die.

The most important thing is that at this time, they still knew nothing about the danger.

Second, the Japanese army was well prepared before the war, while the Chinese army did not wake up until the battle started and had to fight in a hurry.

What's more, this time, in order to ensure victory, the Japanese side had specially conducted mountain warfare training before.

Even before the war, the Japanese army had formed a heavy siege on the Zhongtiao Mountain defense line!

The Japanese army was so well prepared, while the Chinese soldiers were not prepared at all.

What's more, even the war food was seriously insufficient on the Chinese side.

If I have to describe it, the food stored in China can only last for three days at most.

Obviously, after three days, 180,000 Chinese soldiers will have to starve!

The emperor does not lack hungry soldiers!

How can you have the strength to fight if you are not full?

Therefore, after the battle started, facing the strong attack of the Japanese army, many Chinese positions were in a state of collapse.

Third, most of the Japanese have been brainwashed by the double thought and Bushido spirit since childhood. They are not afraid of death and even proud of dying on the battlefield.

Naturally, after the battle started, the Japanese were very brave.

In addition, the Japanese general Tada Shun played the art of command very well.

Under the command of Tada Shun and with the cooperation of Japanese officers at all levels, the Japanese troops were very coordinated.

Whether it was a rapid attack or interspersed encirclement and other tactics, the Japanese troops did a great job.

On the other hand, in China, many command agencies were destroyed by the Japanese spies at the beginning of the battle, so the soldiers had to fight on their own.

To be honest, the two sides of this battle were regular troops against amateur troops.

Therefore, because they could not exert the power of team combat, many defense lines were quickly broken by the Japanese.

And the soldiers on these defense lines had to be killed or injured, or captured, or forced to become deserters.

Of course, there are still many soldiers who knew that their side was very passive, but they continued to hold their positions, resulting in many heroic deeds.

In the Battle of Zhongtiao Mountain, 180,000 Chinese soldiers were almost wiped out.

On the other hand, the number of casualties of the 100,000 Japanese troops was only over 3,000.

Moreover, most of these 3,000 casualties were traitors!

In a word, in this battle, the casualty ratio between China and the island countries was too different.

Because this battle occurred in the stalemate stage after the outbreak of the full-scale war of resistance, it naturally had an extremely bad impact on the military and civilian morale of China.

The most important thing is that after this battle, the 100,000 Japanese troops turned to walk out of Zhongtiao Mountain and attacked cities in all directions.

And around Zhongtiao Mountain, there are bases of various anti-Japanese armed forces everywhere.

Facing the fierce offensive of the Japanese army, the situation in many bases was very bad.

Many bases had to be abandoned because they could not withstand the attack of the Japanese army.

The establishment and development of these bases all consumed a lot of manpower and material resources.

The most important thing is that it took a long time.

As a time traveler, Ye Tian was very depressed and angry every time he thought of the worst defeat during the outbreak of the full-scale war of resistance.

In fact, since he knew that he had traveled through time, Ye Tian had no hesitation and planned to work as hard as possible to avoid this embarrassment from happening again.

In order to achieve this tactical goal, Ye Tian had to plan ahead.

A weak voice!

What made Ye Tian depressed was that because his status was not very high, although he could talk to the Chinese Supreme Command, the topic was not strong.

Besides, Ye Tian was worried about causing fear and hatred from those who were interested by always contacting the Supreme Command!

Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes.

Where there are rivers and lakes, there are naturally all kinds of open and secret struggles.

Taking the Chinese Supreme Command as an example, open and secret struggles have almost become a well-known thing.

He didn't get the roast chicken, but got into trouble!

For such things, Ye Tian never wanted to do it.

Considering this situation, Ye Tian thought about doing it himself so that he could achieve the result of having enough food and clothing.
