Later, the British ship Amethyst was severely damaged by a 105mm howitzer.

The difference between 75mm and 105mm is only 30mm. However, it is just the difference between 0 and 1. 75mm just cannot reach the target.

What a pity!

Just one chance.

Just missed it.

The Japanese destroyers were hit, and they will definitely not come to Zaozaobang in the future.

They are navy red deer. As long as there is a little bit of danger, it is impossible for them to continue taking risks to support the army red deer.

In other words, there was no chance to bombard the Japanese destroyers.

Alas, what a weak national power!

The system is also not very efficient.

Just give them tens of thousands of 152mm self-propelled howitzers!

"good!"

"good!"

However, Zhu Shaoliang was already very satisfied with such results.

Other senior officials of the national army are also very satisfied. As long as the Japanese destroyers can be forced away, the Japanese invaders' artillery support can be reduced by half.

Without the artillery fire coverage of the Japanese navy, whether it is Jiangwan Town, Dachang Town, or Nanxiang Town, they can hold on for a longer period of time.

As for victory…

Sorry, I can't even think about it.

By now, everyone has lost confidence in the battle.

So miserable...

History is written on the positive side.

It was said that through the Battle of Songhu, the Japanese invaders' three-month conspiracy to destroy China was shattered.

However, what Zhang Yong saw was a little different from the history books.

What he saw was more negative information. Many senior officials had completely lost their confidence in victory.

Very desperate.

Very frustrated.

I felt that the Japanese invaders were invincible.

It is estimated that within the government, people's hearts are floating, and there will be more and more people who want to surrender to the Japanese invaders and become traitors.

Even Chiang Kai-shek himself might have had such thoughts, but he just didn't dare to say them publicly.

Fortunately, there are no ifs in history.

Even though Lao Jiang might have wavered, he persisted in the end.

His greatest contribution to China is probably his perseverance over the past few years.

Otherwise, it would have been written down in history long ago.

"Commander-in-Chief."

"Commissioner Zhang."

"Does the committee want to mediate?"

"Probably so."

"Is there any result?"

"I don't know. Alas..."

Zhu Shaoliang shook his head and sighed, feeling heavy.

When the war reached this point, everyone, including Chiang Kai-shek, knew it was impossible to win.

The question now is whether the war can be stopped if it cannot win.

Can I go back to the previous state?

You can let the Japanese invaders continue to occupy Hongkou and keep it as it is.

Just act like nothing happened.

At most, I can give you some compensation privately.

Well, this is what Chiang Kai-shek's wishful thinking was all about. He has always been imagining it.

My wife on the other side of the ocean also had the illusion that the League of Nations could help mediate, achieve a ceasefire, and maintain the status quo.

However, none of them realized an essential problem.

You want a ceasefire.

Are the Japanese invaders willing?

Others are always making excuses!

Others have been looking for excuses to annex the entire China.

Right now, that's the best excuse.

So, how could the Japanese invaders accept mediation?

Now the Japanese invaders are desperately trying to increase their troops, deploying almost half of their total troops.

Mediation?

Final battle?

I thought it was a child playing house!

"Commander-in-Chief..."

"Commissioner Zhang, just tell me what you have to say."

"Do you think there is a possibility that we will continue to fight the Japanese from now on?"

"Keep fighting? How long?"

"Maybe eight years? Ten years?"

"ah?"

Zhu Shaoliang frowned.

Obviously, he was not mentally prepared.

Zhang Yong then stopped talking.

Click to stop.

The rest is up to you to experience.

But from Zhu Shaoliang, we can obviously get a glimpse of the state of the top officials of the government.

It's just that we are not prepared for a long-term war.

I feel that even if the Japanese invaders do not accept the ceasefire, they will continue to fight for a few months at most. There will eventually be a ceasefire.

As for the battlefield, it should be near Songhu. It won't go too far.

But they never thought that the war would spread to most of China. The Japanese invaders would fight all the way to Wuhan and Changsha!

Moreover, it is not only the Japanese invaders and the Chinese who are fighting. More countries will be involved in the fighting. In the end, all the world's major powers will come to an end. It will eventually turn into a world war.

The next eight years...

It’s only been two months!

The prologue has just begun. The protagonist hasn’t even appeared yet!

The mustache hasn't broken out yet.

The polar bears haven't joined yet.

The beautiful country is still watching the fire from the other side.

Shake his head.

Rub your face.

Drive away cluttered thoughts.

Make your position clear. You are not the savior. You are just a nobody.

Small people can only follow the crowd, so don't try to change the world.

bid farewell.
