Time went back a few hours ago, when the Japanese army was just discovered.

The news soon reached De'an and reached the headquarters of the 1st Corps.

When Xue Yue strode into the war room, it was already busy. The communications staff shuttled back and forth between the war room and the communications room, constantly reporting the latest battle situation. Several combat staff gathered in front of the sand table and inserted small flags representing the Japanese or national army into designated locations according to the battle reports just received.

Seeing Xue Yue coming in, Chief of Staff Wu Yizhi and several commanders of the army, the commanders all came up to meet him.

Xue Yue didn't talk nonsense, and asked Wu Yizhi while walking towards the big map: "Chief of Staff, what's going on? Why did the little Japanese suddenly emerge from Longtouling and Yunju Mountain?"

Wu Yizhi followed Xue Yue to the front of the big map and said, "General, the 70th Army reported in the morning that the Japanese army opposite the Shahe River suddenly lost traces, and traces of the Japanese army left behind after the passing of the small Japanese team were also found near Guniuwan. Therefore, the Japanese army suddenly appeared in Longtouling, and the front line of Yunju Mountain is likely to be the main force of the 10th Peak Regiment of the Little Japanese."

"What did you say?" Xue Yue's face immediately pulled down, "The main force of the 10th Little Japan's Little Japan's field division? There are at least 30,000 people. Even if there are any reductions in previous operations, there will never be less than 20,000 people. Such a huge Japanese army can touch Longtouling without knowing it?"

Wu Qiwei, commander of the Ninth Army, said: "Master, I was wondering just now, but now I seem to understand that the outer eight-character defense line set up by the Nanxun Line along Ruiwu Road was originally left with a gap in the middle. This gap was not wide enough. It was difficult for little Japan to intersperse it, but..."

Shang Zhen, commander of the 20th Army, said: "However, in the previous tug-of-war with the Japanese Division, the two armies on my left wing moved forward one after another, and accidentally widened the gap in the middle, which gave the Japanese an opportunity to take advantage of it. However, what puzzled Bei Zhi was that since the Japanese had already passed through the gap, why did they neither strike sideways on Ma Huiling nor directly on De'an, but ran to Longtouling? Is there any other intentions in this?"

As he spoke, Shang Zhen's eyes moved down from Longtouling and Yunju Mountain, and finally landed on Nanchang.

Wu Yizhi's heart was thumping and he said in a lost voice: "Does... the 10th Little Japan's Little Japan's 10th Pei Group want to directly attack Nanchang?"

"This is impossible." Wu Qiwei shook his head flatly and said, "If the little Japanese does not walk on the road, they will definitely not be able to carry heavy equipment, nor will they carry too much supplies. Just relying on a partial army that does not have heavy equipment and does not have too much supplies, they also want to conquer Nanchang City. The little Japanese is too arrogant. Do you really think that our national army is paper-made?"

Xue Yue said impatiently: "I don't care about the intentions of the 10th Bail Regiment of the Japanese little Japanese. Since he got into our stomachs this time, we are not polite. Chief of Staff, except for the front-line troops, all the other troops that can be mobilized are transferred to eat the 10th Bail Regiment for me."

After a pause, Xue Yue specifically reminded him: "Let Yu Jishi's 36th Legion also participate in the war."

Wu Yizhi's heart was thrilled and asked in a low voice: "General, do you ask the war zone chief and commander department?"

Although Xue Yue was very tired of Chairman Jiang's usual remote control style, such a large combat operation and taking the initiative to attack, it would be unreasonable if he didn't talk to the chief of the war zone and the commander's headquarters. He nodded and said, "This is your responsibility, you can arrange it with the Chief of Staff."

(Split Line)

When the news reached the Wuhan camp, Chairman Jiang was worried about the trivial matters of relocation again.

Xue Yue was in Jiujiang, and Sun Lianzhong fought well on the northern foot of the Dabie Mountains. The Little Japanese Army and the Two Major Army Groups were all progressing slowly, and there was still no sign of breakthrough in a short period of time. Chairman Jiang should be happy, and the National Government should not be busy relocating. The problem is that there is a problem with the defense of the middle lane.

The national army is always like this when fighting. It should not be withstood. It should not be victorious. Miracles often occur when winning battles, but it should have to be withstood. When it should have won a battle, it was always lost. For example, the horse was the fortress and could have been able to hold on for a few months, but it was lost in less than a few days. For example, the Taierzhuang Battle should not have won, but it was finally won.

The battle in Wuhan is still like this. There is no problem with the north and south wings, and the problem lies in the most solid middle lane.

The Japanese troops attacked Wuhan in three ways, the north route Dongjiumiya Army and the south route Okamura Yasuji Army were all heavy troops with more than four divisions. Only the Japanese army attacked westward along the narrow area along the north bank of the Yangtze River and the southern foot of the Dabie Mountains, which had only one division's strength, and this division was the Dipei Regiment of Inaba Shiro.

Originally, in the entire combat plan of the Japanese base camp, the Inaba Division was a partial division that restrained the national army. The Japanese base camp did not have too high expectations for the Inaba Division. However, in actual combat, the Inaba Division was very prosperous and relied on the strength of a division to smash the Tianjia Town Fortress.

As soon as the fortress in Tianjia Town was lost, the door of Wuhan was opened.

At present, Zhuge Bai Chongxi is catching troops everywhere to block the leak, but the decline of Li Pinxian's 4th Corps has been achieved. No matter how clever Zhuge has made a brilliant plan, it is impossible for him to block the broken house with air leakage on all sides. It is inevitable that the Little Japanese No. 1 Pei regiment will be under the city of Wuhan, which will take only a few days.

Chiang Kai-shek was actually prepared for the cruel reality of Wuhan's failure. At the beginning of the Wuhan Battle, Chiang Kai-shek once said that the Wuhan Battle would never repeat the mistakes of the Nanjing Defense War, and proposed to fight Wuhan without defending Wuhan, which meant that he would fight a decisive battle with Japan around Wuhan, but would never concentrate his troops to protect Wuhan.

After the tragic failure of Songhu and the cruel failure of Nanjing, Chiang Kai-shek finally learned a lesson. He finally understood that the War of Resistance cannot care about the gains and losses of a city and a pool. The strategic general Fang Zheng, which he advocated before, was essentially fundamentally wrong.

However, it is not too late to change courses now. After all, China has a vast territory and a vast depth. Even if it loses Northeast China, North China and East China, the National Government still has the capital to confront Japan. Therefore, this time Chairman Jiang calmly accepted the cruel fact that Wuhan was in danger.

But if you are calm, it is not that easy to give up Wuhan.

First of all, so many government agencies have to retreat, secondly, so many factories, schools need to be relocated, and so many materials and equipment need to be transferred. Finally, there are tens of millions of refugees who fled from North China and East China also need to be transferred. These tasks are complicated but must be completed in a short time. How can Chairman Jiang, as a leader, not be overwhelmed?

So when Chen Cheng told Chairman Jiang that Xue Yue planned to eat the 10th Little Japan Regiment, which was alone, Chairman Jiang was immediately excited. Although it had been decided before to give up Wuhan, it would inevitably undermine the confidence and morale of the national military and civilians in the war of resistance. If he could come to a great victory at this time and eat a main division of the Little Japan, it would not only offset the negative impact of Wuhan's fall, but also greatly encourage the morale and confidence of the national military and civilians in the national war of victory.

"Did Bo Ling say how confident?" Chairman Jiang stood in front of the big map in two steps.

Chairman Jiang was in a good mood at this time and no longer cared about the dirty things that had happened before. At this time, Chairman Jiang was even glad that he did not force Xue Yue to withdraw Yu Jishi's 36th Army. He was even more glad that Xue Yue withstood his pressure at that time and detained the 36th Army in De'an.

Chen Cheng didn't dare to speak for Xue Yue and said softly: "Boling is very determined this time."

"Well, I know, I know." Chairman Jiang nodded his bald head and said thoughtfully, "I did say a few serious words at that time. Boling was angry and I knew that he wanted Boling to fight well, don't have any worries. He can make decisions on the front line war at the moment, and don't ask me for instructions on everything."

Chen Cheng nodded repeatedly and praised him for his wise words.
