In the car leaving the concession, Li Guotao took out a map.

Li Guotao pointed to the map and said, “Although our army has withdrawn from the city, this battle is not over yet.”

Captain Xie nodded and said, “Hundreds of thousands of soldiers are still fighting on the front lines, but judging from the current situation…”

It can be seen that Captain Xie is also very pessimistic about the current war situation.

This is not surprising, as the situation at the time was indeed desperate.

With the whole country’s strength, hundreds of thousands of troops fought fiercely with the Japanese in Songhu for two and a half months, but were ultimately defeated.

The troops suffered heavy losses, and several ace troops were completely destroyed.

In the end, it couldn’t prevent the fate of failure.

On the battlefield in North China, our army also suffered a crushing defeat, with large tracts of territory in North China lost to the enemy.

When the situation develops to this point, it is really hard not to feel despair.

Li Guotao said: “But we have no other way to go. We can only fight to the death. There is still a glimmer of hope.”

“If even we soldiers give up, then we will just become slaves of a conquered nation.”

Captain Xie nodded and said, “You are right. No matter what, we must persist in the war to the end. Only by fighting can we win.”

“But I don’t think this is what you want to tell me.”

Li Guotao nodded and said, “At present, our main force should have retreated to this area and continue to fight against the Japanese.”

“The current battle situation is also very unfavorable, but the Japanese are determined to win. After fighting for so long, they are also eager to win and are further increasing their troops.”

“In a few days, the Japanese reinforcements, about 100,000 people, will land at Jinshanwei. Once the enemy lands successfully, they will attack northward along this road and threaten our rear.”

“Then my hundreds of thousands of troops on the Songhu front will be attacked from both sides.”

“If this group of enemies goes all the way north and cuts off our retreat route, hundreds of thousands of troops may be surrounded by them or even wiped out in one fell swoop.”

Upon hearing this, Captain Xie’s face changed drastically and he asked, “How did you know this news?”

Li Guotao said with certainty: “Don’t ask me how I know this. I can assure you that this information is absolutely true.”

“This group of devils is the 10th Army of the devils. The commander is Lieutenant General Yanagawa. It is composed of the 6th Division, the 18th Division, the 114th Division and the Kunisaki Detachment of the th Division.”

Captain Xie frowned and said, “The 6th Division, aren’t they in the North China battlefield? How come they are in Songhu?”

“And the Fifth Division, they should also be on the battlefield in North China.”

Li Guotao said with certainty: “They have already been secretly transferred to the south, not just the 6th Division and the Guoqi Detachment of the th Division.”

“The 16th Division, which was originally on the battlefield in North China, has also been transferred here.”

“But they are not incorporated into the 10th Army. They should attack from the front, along the Yangtze River, and most likely land in the Baimaokou area, and penetrate behind our main force.”

“The 16th Division is also heading south?”

Captain Xie’s eyes almost popped out of his head in surprise.

Li Guotao nodded and said, “So, once these enemy troops are deployed on the battlefield, we may collapse in an instant.”

“What we can do now is to take preventive measures as soon as possible and deploy troops in advance to delay the enemy’s offensive.”

“Given the current situation, I’m afraid we can no longer stop the enemy’s attack. We can only try to minimize the losses.”

This news was too shocking for Captain Xie.

He looked at Li Guotao in disbelief, and for a moment he could not tell whether what Li Guotao said was true or not. Li Guotao continued, “I know what you are thinking. I can only tell you that these are all true.”

“Or let’s change the angle. If the Japanese really attack us like this, how long can we hold out?”

Captain Xie said with certainty: “I’m afraid we won’t be able to hold out for long. If that happens, hundreds of thousands of troops will be attacked from all sides and will soon collapse or even be surrounded by them.”

Li Guotao said: “No matter where I got this information, it is definitely correct.”

“The Japanese will definitely do this. I hope the commander can report this to the higher-ups as soon as possible so that they can be prepared in advance.”

“In fact, it is not too difficult to verify this news. We just need to find out whether the Japanese 6th Division and 16th Division on the North China front, as well as about one brigade of the th Division, that is, the Kunisaki Brigade, are still in North China.”

“As long as the superiors can confirm that they are no longer in North China, then it can be confirmed that the information I provided is true.”

Although Captain Xie still had many doubts in his mind, the matter was of great importance and he did not dare to neglect it. Moreover, all of Li Guotao’s previous speculations were eventually verified by facts, which made him believe that the information provided by Li Guotao this time was 80% true.

Captain Xie said: “Don’t worry, I will report the situation truthfully.”

Li Guotao pointed at the map and said, “The Japanese naval fleet is very powerful. Judging from the current situation, it is too difficult to completely prevent the Japanese from landing.”

“Especially now that the battle situation is unfavorable, since we can’t stop them from landing in Jinshanwei, we can only think of ways to delay these little devils and prevent them from having the opportunity to encircle us. We should try to buy time for the main force to retreat and reduce losses.”

“Therefore, the gains and losses of Songjiang are crucial. This is also the last line of defense to stop these little devils.”

“As long as we can hold off the Japanese for a while longer in Songjiang, the main force can retreat calmly and stabilize the current situation.”

Captain Xie stared at Songjiang City on the map, nodded and said, “What you said makes sense. I will also report this situation to my superiors.”

Li Guotao told Captain Xie everything he knew without reservation.

As for how much effect it will have, Li Guotao is not sure.

Now Li Guotao can only do his best.

The convoy slowly left the concession without any accidents.

The two forces successfully joined together.

Following orders from superiors, the isolated army battalion was ordered to retreat to a safe place for rest.

At this point, the battle of Sihang Warehouse came to an end.

The isolated army battalion successfully retreated to a safe place, which meant that Li Guotao’s mission had been accomplished.

At this time, Li Guotao also received a system prompt that the system task was completed and Li Guotao could choose to leave this world at any time.

After all, this is just a film and television world. Li Guotao did not have too much attachment to it and directly chose to leave this world.

After completing the mission, Li Guotao got another chance to draw from the world.

And this time, Li Guotao finally drew the card from his original world.

Such a result made Li Guotao ecstatic, and he decisively chose to return.

When everything was settled, Li Guotao successfully returned to his original world.

Looking at the busy streets and the bustling crowds, Li Guotao couldn’t help but sigh: Peace is so good!
The mountains and rivers are safe, the country is rich and the army is strong, we no longer have to worry about being bullied.

This hard-won peace was achieved with the blood and lives of countless martyrs.

The scenes of countless martyrs fighting bravely continued to emerge in Li Guotao’s mind.

The mountains and rivers are safe, and this prosperous era is just as you wish! (End of this chapter)
