As August began, there were several heavy rainstorms in Chongqing, and the weather finally became cooler, at least not as hot as it was some time ago.

When he learned that the high temperature and heat in Chongqing had receded, President Chang immediately left Ningcui Tower in Emei Mountain. There was nothing else, because he actually cared about the result of the Battle of Zhejiang and Fujian, so he wanted to return to Chongqing as soon as possible.

When he learned that Principal Chang returned to Yu today, Chen Shi, Liu Sheng, He Yingpei and Bai Chongbei and other senior generals of the Party and the country gathered at the gate of Huangshan official residence to welcome Principal Chang.

Before Principal Chang's convoy arrived, several senior generals began to talk about the frontline war. As they were chatting, several people talked about the battle between Zhejiang and Fujian, which was fighting like a fire.

Chen Shin was almost in a quarrel with Zhong Yi, so he spoke without any scruples.

"Brother Jingzhi, have you heard of it?" Chen Shi said to He Yingpei, "The 192nd Division suffered a great defeat at the Xinsheng battlefield and lost one and a half battalions. This battle was fought!"

At this time, several divisions of the 11th Army were still dealing with the Japanese army in Xinsheng, and the Japanese army gathered on the Xinsheng battlefield had increased from five corpses of the previous two divisions to nine corpses of four divisions. As the Japanese army's troops surged, the space for the national army's movement began to decrease sharply.

So the casualties of the 10th Army began to grow.

What Chen Shi was talking about was one of the breakthrough battles. A battalion of the 192nd Division was surrounded by a Japanese fast column in Dashi Juzhen, Xinchang, and was almost wiped out.

He Yingpei said: "Didn't you say you broke through?"

"Hu Da was gigging on his face, so he said he broke out." Chen Shi said, "But I dare to assert that the 192nd Division was surrounded by the Japanese army in Juzhen, Xinchang City, must be finished."

Liu Sheng couldn't help but say, "Brother Cixiu, it's better to say less if you don't have any basis."

"What does it mean to be unfounded?" Chen Shi said, "I'm inference based on facts!"

Liu Sheng said: "But as far as I know, the troops gathered in the 192nd Division did finally stand out, and their old foundation is still there. Once the new supplementary troops are in place and a little training will be done, they will be able to recover their combat effectiveness soon."

"Come on, come on, don't gild the face of Zhong Ziren." Chen Shi said, "Yes, I admit that Zhong Ziren is a good player in the war, and he has indeed fought many tough battles, but the battle in Xinsheng was really a mess he commanded this time, and I don't know what he was doing."

Hearing this, Liu Sheng fell silent immediately.

Because Liu Sheng also couldn't understand Zhong Yi's real combat intention.

On the surface, Zhong Yi's intention was to carry out mobile warfare on the Xinsheng battlefield, use the five main divisions of the 10th Army to play hide-and-seek with the Japanese army on the Xinsheng battlefield, dragging the Japanese army to exhaust and burden, and then concentrate the 41st Army, the 10th Army and the 18th division of the Coastal Defense Corps annihilated the Japanese army at the Xinsheng battlefield.

Even if we cannot completely annihilate, we must strive to annihilate one or two of the divisions.

Zhong Yi's judgment was that as long as one or two divisions of the Japanese army were annihilated, the Japanese army's Zhejiang-Fujian battle plan would have to be abandoned halfway.

Liu Sheng fully agreed with Zhong Yi's judgment. As long as one division is annihilated, the Japanese army's Zhejiang-Fujian battle plan will fall into a full passive position. If two divisions can be annihilated, the Japanese army's Zhejiang-Fujian battle plan will go bankrupt. At that time, the Japanese army will have no other choice except to withdraw troops in full.

But what Liu Sheng was puzzled was that among the six main divisions originally planned to be used for fishing in the 10th Army, in addition to Tao Liu's 62nd Division and Zhang Yuannan's 194th Division, the remaining four main divisions have suffered heavy damage in the Xinsheng battlefield. Not only have they lost a large amount of weapons, equipment and soldiers, but more importantly, the maneuvering space has also been greatly compressed.

Liu Sheng was worried that in another three or five days, these four divisions would be completely wiped out by the Japanese army.

Liu Sheng was a little disappointed with Zhong Yi when he fought in the mobile war, but in the end he ended up like this.

Even so, the main force of the 41st Group Army and the two detachments that left Yinjiang were still missing, so Liu Sheng was completely unaware of what Zhong Yi's intention was.

Liu Sheng faintly felt that Zhong Yi's real intention might not be the Japanese on the Xinsheng battlefield.

It is no wonder that Liu Sheng was confused, because until now, all senior generals of the Party and the country have been kept in the dark by Zhong Yi. Principal Chang knew the inside story, but he did not make it public.

With a snorting, Chen Shi said again: "If you want me to tell me, Zhong Yi must have done this on purpose."

"Brother Cixiu is careful about his words." Bai Chong couldn't help but say sadly, "Your words are a bit heartbroken."

"Chasing the heart? What I'm talking about is the facts!" Chen Shi said, "Zhong Yi just wants to eliminate dissidents through the Battle of Xinsheng, and then firmly control the 10th Army in his hands. Otherwise, how can I explain that there are six divisions under the 10th Army? Only Zhang Yuannan's 194th Division and Tao Liu's 62nd Division are kept intact?"

He Yingpei said lightly: "I heard that Zhang Yuannan, the commander of the 194th Division, is Zhong Ziren's wife's uncle? As for the 62nd Division, it is Zhong Ziren's old army. When it was moved to Nanjing and Wuhan, wasn't it expanded from the 367th Regiment of the 62nd Division?"

"That's it." Chen Shi snorted, "What's the point of excluding dissidents?"

Liu Sheng said: "No matter how you think it, I believe Zhong Yi is not such a person anyway."

While several senior party and state generals were arguing, a loud voice suddenly sounded from a distance: "The principal is here!"

Several senior generals quickly stopped arguing, and then subconsciously stood up and looked up, and saw a convoy driving into the signboard door of the Huangshan official residence.

One of the Mercedes-Benz cars was parked under the steps.

The car door opened, and Lin Wei, the director of the attendant room, got out of the car first, then trotted around the front of the car and went to the right side, then opened the car door and covered the lintel with his hands.

Then Principal Chang bent down and got out of the car.

"Principal!" Chen Shi and several other senior generals saluted.

Principal Chang replied to the military salute and waved his hand and said, "Everyone goes in and talk."

The unconcealed joy in Principal Chang's tone made Chen Shi and several senior generals confused. What is the situation? What is the joyful event?

But it seems that there is no such thing as there are a lot of bad things on each battlefield.

Principal Chang didn't say much, so he quickly walked towards the study room of Yunxiu Tower.

Chen Shi and several other senior generals could only hold back and followed Principal Chang into Yunxiulou's study.
