Yang Shaoren disagreed and said, "Teacher, please forgive me for your bluntness. Do you overestimate the Japanese Division? The Japanese Division was a garrison brigade. Most of the soldiers were composed of reserves or local soldiers, and the troops were only three infantry corps. How many troops could they draw when facing the restraint of Shang Zhen's 20th Army?"

"Chief of Staff, don't underestimate the old devil Honma Masaharu. Although this old devil has not performed well in North China, he has also performed mediocrely after he arrived in Jiujiang and De'an battlefield. However, no matter what, this old devil has studied in the UK and has had in-depth contact with Western military affairs, so he must have a level."

"But I always feel that it is unnecessary to place the 344 ball at the tip of the hourglass."

"Is it unnecessary soon?" Feng Shengfa took out his pocket watch to look at the time and said, "From the time point of view, if the Japanese Division really intends to send reinforcements, he should have taken action."

Before he finished speaking, the adjutant Zhang Shaojie ran over panting and reported to Feng Shengfa: "The division seat, the 18th Army's telegram had just been transferred to the 18th Army, saying that the small Japanese Division on the front of Ruiwu Road had abnormal behavior, and the troops of at least one corps were gathering towards the Wukou. The corps headquarters judged that it was likely to be coming from Wanjialing."

"Look?" Feng Shengfa said, "What did I just say?"

Yang Shaoren was silent, but he became more and more impressed by Feng Shengfa.

After hearing the news, Xue Yue put half a bowl of leftover rice on the table, then hurried to the war room and asked, "What's going on over there on Ruiwu Road?"

Wu Yizhi said: "Huang Wei (the commander of the 18th Army) just reported that the 27th Division had drawn about a unit of troops from the front of Ruiwu Road and headed towards Wanjialing through the Jinkou. I guess this must have received an order from Okamura Yanji to pick up the 10th Pei Regiment blocked by the 58th Division in Wanjialing."

Xue Yuehuo said: "Why don't the 18th Army and the 18th Army stop the attack?"

Shang Zhen, commander-in-chief of the Army and commander of the Army, explained: "Chief, the artillery fire of the little Japanese is too fierce, and the Japanese air force bombards like crazy, so the troops cannot gather at all. When the troops finally assemble, they will arrive near the tiger's mouth. The little Japanese has been there for a long time."

Xue Yue was silent. Artillery and air force were always fatal weaknesses that the national army could not avoid. Since the Battle of Song and Shanghai, the national army had suffered a few Japanese artillery. The aviation army suffered a lot of losses. The battle in Wuhan has not improved. Although the Soviet Air Force's combat effectiveness has been strengthened in a short period of time, the Soviets were not philanthropists, and it is impossible to provide China with aircraft, ground crew and pilots without restrictions. As the battle deepened, there were almost no two hundred aircraft that the Soviet Union aided China. Until now, the war was fought, and the National Army's fighter planes were basically no longer seen above Jiujiang.

After a moment of silence, Xue Yue asked Wu Yizhi again: "How is Feng Shengfa?"

Wu Yizhi replied: "Bizhi has transferred the situation discovered by the 18th Army to the 58th Division. Feng Shengfa has not complained to the Corps' headquarters until now, so he can still hold on."

Xue Yue fell into silence again. Feng Shengfa’s failure to complain to the Corps headquarters does not mean that the 58th Division is very relaxed now. With the force of a division facing the fierce attack of a division in Japan, how could it be easier? The reason why Feng Shengfa did not complain or ask for help was because he knew that asking for help was useless.

After a while, Xue Yue asked again: "Where are the rest of the troops entering the attack position?"

Wu Yizhi hurriedly said: "The 4th Army has been biting the guards of the 10th Pei Regiment. The 8th Army and the 10th Pei have also arrived at the designated position. Only the 5th Pei Army and the 5th Pei have gone the wrong way last night and have not entered the designated attack position until now, especially the 5th Pei, which is at least fifty miles away from Wanjialing."

"This Wang Yaowu" Xue Yue said angrily, "What did he eat? The same unit of the 74th Army, why is the difference so big? 5 Pei set out from Xingzi and rushed to Wanjialing last night. 5 Pei set out from De'an, why hasn't he entered the designated position until now? Such a person is also worthy of being promoted to the commander?"

Wu Yizhi didn't dare to answer, and no one in the entire headquarters dared to take on this matter.

Xue Yueyu was not angry and said, "Send a newspaper to Wu Pei immediately and tell Wang Yaowu that if he doesn't dare to go to the battlefield, just say it clearly, don't wander around the mountains, it's so difficult to find a way?" After pausing, Xue Yue specifically reminded the communication staff, "Just follow what I just said, no word is allowed to be changed, and the original text is forwarded."

"What's this damn map?" Wang Yaowu was furious and tore the map into countless pieces in a few seconds.

This map left behind during the Beiyang period is really fucking. It is obviously Guishan, but he marks you with Xianglu Mountain. Xiushui clearly turned a big bend from Xiushui County and poured into Poyang Lake. But this map dares to connect to Poyang Lake in a straight line. 5 Pei marched according to the map, got lost as soon as he entered the mountainous area, and even the direction was wrong.

After wandering around the mountains for a night, I saw it the next day, and I actually walked around Ma Huiling. I had no choice but to walk back in a hurry, but there was fog in the mountains. The compass was wandering around for no reason, and I couldn't find a guide in the hurry, so I could only continue to get the map and make do with it.

As a result, I went a step further in the deep mountains.

When he found out that something was wrong, he had already broken out for fifty miles. Wang Yaowu could no longer bear it and finally tore up the map.

When Wang Yaowu was losing his temper, Zhang Lingfu, the commander of the 305th Regiment, rushed up with a lame leg. Zhang Lingfu was seriously injured in the knee during the Nanjing defense battle. After he recovered from the injury, he left the sequelae of lameness. Zhang Lingfu was holding a telegram in his hand, but it was a telegram that had just been sent to Wu Pei by the Corps, and it was a telegram that Xue Yue personally told.

After reading the telegram, Wang Yaowu's face immediately turned into a pig's liver.

Xue Yue sent such a telegram to show that his dissatisfaction with Wu Pei had reached the extreme, which made Wang Yaowu, who had always regarded himself very much, feel ashamed.

"It's unfair to say this to the chief officer." Zhang Lingfu also read the telegram and said angrily, "What does it mean to not dare to go to the battlefield? Is it our intention to go around the mountains? If it weren't for the broken map given by the Corps, could we wander around the mountains? We, 5 Pei, dare not go to the battlefield? It's a joke, the Battle of Songhu, the Battle of Nanjing and the Battle of Lanfeng, so many bad battles, have we not participated in the tough battle?"

"Okay, just say less." Wang Yaowu stopped Zhang Lingfu.

Although there are objective reasons for the 5th Pei to get lost in the mountains, it is an indisputable fact that it failed to arrive at the designated location in time and launch an attack on the 10th Pei regiment of the Japanese army. If the entire combat plan to encircle and annihilate the 10th Pei regiment is aborted, Xue Yue will then attribute the responsibility for the failure to the 5th Pei, and Wang Yaowu will have nothing to say.

When Madang Fortress was lost, didn’t Xue Weiying say that the map was wrong and he got lost in the mountains?

But what about it in the end? Didn’t Xue Weiying let Chairman Jiang shoot him because of Bai Chongxi’s words?

Zhang Lingfu also knew that complaining at this time was useless. It is important to determine the direction as soon as possible, reach the designated position in the shortest time, and launch an attack on the 10th Peak regiment of the Japanese. Didn’t you say that we are the 5th Peak dare not fight? Then we will use our record to prove to you that the 5th Peak is definitely not a coward.

Zhang Lingfu said at the moment: "Master, I will take someone to find a guide myself."

"No need to look for it." Wang Yaowu looked up at the sky and said in a deep voice, "The little Japanese plane is the best guide."

Zhang Lingfu looked up when he heard the sound, and then he found that the fog in the mountains had dissipated and the clouds in the sky had faded. Two Japanese bombers with plaster patterns flew over the eastern sky with a huge roar, and roared over their heads to the west. Needless to say, the direction of the small Japanese plane must be the battlefield of war.

Wang Yaowu withdrew his gaze and turned his head and shouted: "Adminton Wang, Adjutant Wang"

A captain officer ran to Wang Yaowu and stood attentively: "There is"

Wang Yaowu said: "Tell me the order, each regiment, each battalion, and each direct team, follow the direction of the Japanese plane, and all the whole jogging forward. Then tell each regiment, each battalion, and each direct team leader that you must arrive at the designated position before the evening. If the damn thing is to drag your back, I, Wang Yaowu, can't spare him, go quickly."
