The Japanese soldiers who suffered too many losses were also careful. In order to be on the safe side, they naturally sent a chariot to explore the way first. Once they found something wrong, at least the safety factor of the chariot was relatively higher. Naturally, Chiaki of Hiroshi was impossible to make the same mistake. Moreover, he had only a few chariots and did not dare to lose it all at once. Even if he lost one, Chiaki of Hiroshi could still bear it.

The shadow of the famous tree. Even if Wang Mingyu retreated this time, the Japanese army did not dare to rush over in a short time. The next thing was to scare Chiaki Shigetoki to stand on the spot. Advance was neither to retreat nor the reason. It was because his chariot had just arrived at the center of the city gate. There was only a loud noise. The chariot stopped there and didn't need to ask. The explosives of the 318th Army had an effect when the chariot approached the city gate. This effect not only made the Japanese army stagnate and dared to move forward, but also bought a certain amount of time for the 318th Army's retreat.

Yesterday, Wang Mingyu began to think about the time of retreat. Today, seeing the Japanese army's crazy attack, Wang Mingyu naturally retreated naturally. Obviously, Wu Peilin and others, who were still unsatisfied, did not expect that Wang Mingyu would choose to retreat strategically at this time. There was a hint of desire to avenge Lin Wen in his mind.

Wang Mingyu didn't want to ask Lin Wen for revenge, of course it was not, but the Japanese army in front could not be killed. If they continued to fight, it would only cause many brothers to bury their bones in Jiangyin County. So Wang Mingyu chose to retreat. The Japanese army was still hesitant outside at the moment, because the lessons of Ogisu's establishment of so many tanks and chariots were vivid in my mind. Shigefuji Chiaki was naturally afraid, and the explosion of the chariot just now made Shigefuji Chiaki's pupils shrink suddenly, and then he secretly rejoiced.

What is certain now is that the 318th Army at the gate of Jiangyin County has been withdrawn, but I just don’t know what they have to wait for him to do to move forward rashly. Miyamoto didn’t know what Chiaki Shige was worried about, so Miyamoto ordered him to immediately send down and let Chiaki Shige’s scouts check it out first

The 318th Army has retreated west at this moment, and has joined forces with Zhang Deen and others. Wang Mingyu and others discussed the matter of Jiangyin with Yuan Youren and others at the garrison headquarters. After Wang Mingyu entered the door, he looked at Yuan Youren and others with surprise and said: County Magistrate Yuan, now our army has completed its established goal and is ready to retreat. I wonder if County Magistrate Yuan and others have any plans.

Yuan Youren obviously did not expect the 318th Army to retreat so suddenly, and asked: Commander Wang, why did he retreat so suddenly

Wang Mingyu said: Our army believes that it is not very meaningful to stop the Japanese army now. If the troops continue to fight like this, you can see the current situation of the entire river defense. The Japanese army has begun to land at the Yangtze River Port. In less than a day, our army will be attacked from both sides. Even if we want to retreat, the cost of death and injury will be quite high.

Director Jiang was obviously a little at a loss and asked: Then what should we do? In fact, this is what Yuan Youren wants to ask. These days, he has been relying on the tenacity of the 318th Army to resist the Japanese attack. It is not wrong to say that the results of the battle are brilliant. After all, the total number of Japanese troops destroyed has exceeded 12,000. This is unimaginable before.

Wang Mingyu thought for a while and said: I don’t think it’s very meaningful for you to defend Jiangyin County. It’s better for you to retreat to Nanjing if you can go north or west to retreat the Japanese army. The current target of the Japanese army is directly aimed at Nanjing. Nanjing City may change its ownership soon.

Director Jiang said in surprise: Impossible, Nanjing has now established a garrison commander, General Tang Shengzhi personally led tens of thousands of our soldiers to resist the Japanese invaders Nanjing City for a while.

Wang Mingyu said helplessly: If you keep resisting, it will be difficult for the Japanese army to capture the huge Nanjing city, so it is naturally a big deal. I am afraid that we will encounter these Japanese troops. Then the troops will flow thousands of miles away. You will see it at the last moment of the Battle of Shanghai. The troops without morale are like flies on their eyebrows, and they can be slaughtered.

In fact, later analysis also believes that how could more than 100,000 soldiers in Nanjing be defeated by the Japanese army in just a few days? According to logic, it is obviously impossible. Even if the Japanese army broke through Nanjing's defense line, the soldiers could rely on the terrain in the city to fight the Japanese army.

Unfortunately, the soldiers at that time had completely lost their minds of competing with the Japanese army, and all turned their minds to the escape. In order to seize a road and to escape a little earlier, the entire command fell into chaos, and a group of senior officials from the Party and the country headed by Tang Shengzhi saw that the situation was wrong, and patted their butts and left. The remaining troops had no command. Whether to hold on or retreat, watching others retreat, it is naturally impossible for you to stick to it.

It is precisely because of this and that Wang Mingyu decided to retreat. Wang Mingyu did not plan to go to Nanjing City. Even if he went, what would it mean? In the chaotic army of more than 100,000 people, the 318th Army, which only had less than 4,000 people, could have any big achievements in Nanjing. Unlike a small county like Jiangyin. The entire 318th Army rushed forward and could only occupy a corner of the land. When the city gates opened, the 318th Army was likely to be trapped in the encirclement.

If you want to escape, it depends on the face of the Japanese army. In Wang Mingyu's memory, Nanjing City finally assembled seven Japanese divisions. Faced with the Japanese army that poured in like locusts and the non-resistance, the entire 318th Army was caught in such a tragedy. How could Wang Mingyu, as the highest general of the 318th Army, make such a low-level mistake? What's more, the danger of massacre in Nanjing City has been relieved of Wang Mingyu's lack of psychological burden.

Yuan Youren and others are different from Wang Mingyu. Wang Mingyu can retreat anytime and anywhere. However, as the former county magistrate of Jiangyin, their task is to defend Jiangyin County. Now the 318th Army is suddenly leaving. Yuan Youren and others naturally know that if they continue to defend Jiangyin County, they will hold on for at most for one or two days. It is not that Yuan Youren looks down on him, but that they are analyzing the real situation.

Yuan Youren asked in a low voice: I gave up Jiangyin like this, my tone was a bit helpless

Wang Mingyu said: Now I have ordered you to retreat as the commander of Jiangyin garrison. You will leave a battalion soldiers to cut off the rear and cover the retreat of the entire Jiangyin garrison command.

Yuan Youren was overjoyed when he heard this. With Wang Mingyu's order, it would be easier to deal with it. After putting down the last psychological burden of Yuan Youren and others, they began to actively prepare for the retreat. The most depressing thing was the original troops guarding the city in Jiangyin. They were also preparing to fight against the Japanese. As a result, they received the order from above to ask them to retreat to Nanjing.

However, all the soldiers and commanders of the 318th Army were not objecting to each other. This was Wang Mingyu's order, that is, the order of the 318th Army. The Japanese army outside were still hesitant. The result of the Japanese scouts' reconnaissance made Chiaki Shigefuji feel unsure because the scouts' answer was very simple. It seemed that at first glance, they almost had no troops stationed in Jiangyin.

However, before Chongteng Chiaki saw the fortifications in the alley, Chongteng Chiaki could conclude that the defenders of Jiangyin County probably had little hope of defending the city gate and began to retreat to the second line of defense. If that is the case, Chongteng Chiaki was unsure, at least he felt that he should firmly grasp the credit for occupying the city gate of Jiangyin County first.

So, Chiaki Shigetsuki began to order his troops to advance to the gate of Jiangyin County. Of course, the Japanese army was also cautious. The scene of fireworks in the sky was still echoing in front of them. Finally, an hour later, Chiaki Shigetsuki successfully occupied Chiaki Shigetsuki Lao Huai, and smiled comfortably, and sighed sincerely in his heart: I am so lucky, these hungry wolves actually retreated by themselves.

However, looking at the crowd of people vaguely flashing in the alley below, Shigefuji Chiaki knew that they had just entered the second defense and had to face a hard battle next. Unfortunately, Shigefuji Chiaki and others missed the best opportunity to pursue the 318th Army because of this idea. They are now discussing how to engage in street fighting.

Miyamoto told General Matsui Ishione to the first time, but in the telegram he naturally could not say that the 318th Army was retreating by itself. But under his command, General Matsui Ishione, who was defeated by the Shigefuji Detachment and the Nakata Brigade, looked at the telegram and felt relieved. However, he knew that the 318th Army was famous for being difficult, so General Matsui Ishione still asked Miyamoto to act carefully and try to capture Jiangyin County as soon as possible, so the troops were guided by the troops to Nanking.

The fierce battle of defense of Jiangyin actually came to an abrupt end in the retreat of the 318th Army. Not only did the Japanese army not expect, but Chairman Jiang also did not expect that the Jiangyin troops, who were struggling to resist, gave up on resisting silently. Although he knew that the Japanese attack in Jiangyin County was extremely fierce, he still hoped that the 318th Army could kill Shengren and sacrifice his life for him.

Chairman Jiang, who earned enough political capital, naturally hoped that the 318th Army would create many miracles for him and make his political life reach a brilliant peak. Unfortunately, the 318th Army did not realize that he was a cannon fodder: After the fourth end, brothers, please support him, hehe, thank you in advance
