Chapter 444 Defense Deployment
After confirming the combat readiness situation, Zhong Yi held another military meeting to finalize the defense deployment!
Soon, Zhu Liangcheng, Sun Liren and ten other brigade commanders or captains walked into the conference room one after another. When they came in, they saw that Zhong Yi had already sat upright in the main seat!
In this regard, Zhong Yi is completely different from other chief officials.
The heads of other troops always have to make some arrangements and have to wait until all the officers under him arrive before the last one will enter the conference room.
But Zhong Yi never puts on such a fancy airs.
Seeing that everyone was in full, Zhong Yi looked up and said, "Everyone is in full, now we have a meeting!"
Sun Liren, Zhu Liangcheng and others looked solemn and their eyes swept towards Zhong Yi.
Zhong Yi said: "The Garrison Command has just received a report on the battle situation from the Fifth War Zone Chief Officer. The 10th Division, the vanguard of the Second Japanese Army, has advanced to the front line of Xiaogan and Huangpi!"
Zhu Liangcheng and others were excited when they heard this, and the Japanese finally arrived!
After a pause, Zhong Yi said again: "The Japanese attacked Wuhan, Hankou will definitely be the first to bear the brunt of Hankou! Now, it is time to determine which unit to guard Hankou!"
As soon as Zhong Yi finished speaking, Zhu Liangcheng stood up and said, "Translator, leave it to our 367th Brigade!"
Sun Liren was unwilling to fall behind and stood up and said, "She is the seat. Our anti-smuggling corps has been stationed in Hankou and guarding Hankou. Of course, our anti-smuggling corps must be!"
"Fuck!" Shi Zude said, "With our spy brigade here, how is your turn to be the anti-smuggling corps?"
Liu Yuanlin, Chen Jing'an and several other brigade commanders also asked for the battle, but Zhou Erzi lowered his head and said nothing.
Zhong Yi's eyes swept over Zhou Erzi's face intentionally or unintentionally and said, "The Hankou defense war is of great importance. Youdao is a good start and half of the success. If the Hankou defense war is not fought well, it will directly affect the entire Wuhan defense war and the entire Wuhan battle! In view of this, an infantry brigade is definitely not enough!"
Zhu Liangcheng, Sun Liren and others immediately stopped talking and waited for Zhong Yi to make a decision.
Zhong Yi said: "I order!"
Zhu Liangcheng and others stood up together.
Zhong Yi then stood up and said aloud: "Brig 367, spy brigade, guard brigade and police corps, guard Hankou!"
"Yes!" Zhu Liangcheng, Shi Zude, Liu Yuanlin and Zhou Erzi stood attentively and responded with a loud bang.
Zhong Yi said again: "Anti-smuggling Corps, the 1st Garrison Brigade, the 2nd Garrison Brigade, and the 3rd Garrison Brigade, guard Hanyang!"
"Yes!" Sun Liren, Chen Jing'an, Liu Futing, Pan Zihe stood at attention and replied with a loud bang.
Zhong Yi finally said: "The 4th Garrison Brigade, the 5th Garrison Brigade! Guard Wuchang!"
"Yes!" Zhou Mengxiong and Zhang Buwu also stood attentively and answered loudly.
Zhong Yi's cold eyes swept across the faces of the ten people attending the meeting again, and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, the war is imminent, I won't say anything extra. I will just say, the Battle of Wuhan is related to the life and death of the entire country and the entire nation. Therefore, I hope you can be determined to die and fight the Japanese invaders to the death!"
"Yes!" Zhu Liangcheng and others responded with a loud bang.
...
As soon as the military meeting of the garrison headquarters ended, the 367th Brigade, the spy brigade and the guard brigade's base began to get busy. Teams of fully armed officers and soldiers drove out of the barracks and then headed to the dock to take a boat along the street.
At this time, Wuchang City was almost empty, and there was no one else except for the left-behind workers.
So no one crossed the street to see off, there were only the neat queues of soldiers from the National Army and the sound of footsteps on the street.
On the pier, dozens of small steamers were already waiting there. The 367th Brigade and the spy brigade, so the guard brigade began to take a boat across the river in an orderly manner, go ashore at Hankou Pier, and then enter the city.
As for the police corps, it was originally stationed in Hankou, which was a waste of time.
Long before the troops crossed the river, Zhong Yi had already taken Zhu Liangcheng, Shi Zude and Liu Yuanlin to cross the river first, and established the Hankou Command Center in Hankou Railway Station.
If nothing unexpected happens, the Japanese army will definitely be the first to attack Hankou.
And Hankou Railway Station is definitely the priority target of attack by the Japanese army!
Therefore, Zhong Yi directly set up the Hankou Command at the railway station and personally served as the commander-in-chief of Hankou!
...
At this moment, the huge underground command hall of Hankou Railway Station was brightly lit!
A huge sand table was placed in the center of the command hall. Surrounding the sand table were military chiefs such as Zhong Yi, Zhu Liangcheng, Shi Zude, and Liu Yuanlin, as well as more than a dozen combat staff officers from the Staff Office.
From the sand table or from the map, Hankou is shaped like a huge butterfly!
Hankou Railway Station is at the head of this butterfly, with the butterfly wings spreading left and right, and outside there is the Han River and the Yangtze River, facing water on three sides, and only the north is land!
Next, the specific defense deployment of the Hankou battlefield.
Zhong Yi said: "Brig Commander Zhu, I'll leave it to you!"
In private, Zhong Yi can refer to Zhu Liangcheng as Lao Zhu, but in formal occasions, he still refers to his position.
"Yes!" Zhu Liangcheng said, "Don't worry, as long as there is one person in our 367th Brigade, the Japanese will not be able to cross Hankou Railway Station half a step!"
Zhong Yi said again: "Brig Commander Shi!"
"Yes!" Shi Zude stepped forward and responded loudly.
Zhong Yi reached out and pointed to the sand table and said, "Along Xinjie to Xunlimen, the block to the west will be handed over to your spy brigade!"
"Yes!" Shi Zude stood at attention and said, "Please rest assured that as long as there is one person in our spy brigade, as long as this person is still there, the Japanese will not cross the new street half a step!"
Zhong Yi nodded and said, "Brigit Commander Liu!"
"Yes!" Liu Yuanlin stepped forward and answered loudly.
Zhong Yi said: "From Xiao Caijia Lane to the neighborhood east of Shuimen, I will hand it over to your guard brigade!"
"Yes!" Liu Yuanlin stood at attention and replied proudly, "I promise you that people are in the position!"
Zhong Yi nodded gently, his eyes finally fell on Zhou Erzi's face, and he said in a deep voice: "Captain Zhou!"
"Yes!" Zhou Erzi quickly stepped forward and responded with his chest straight, "Please refer to the instructions!"
"Your Police Corps are responsible for the defense of the central block of Hankou." Zhong Yi pointed his hand and said, "As long as the railway station and the positions on the left and right wings have not been lost, the defense areas of your Police Corps will not be attacked, but this does not mean that your Police Corps can see the scenery next to you."
"When necessary, your police corps still need to cooperate!" After pausing, Zhong Yi said again, "For example, the first line of defense outside the railway station still requires your police corps to defend!"
"Ah?" Zhou Erzi's face immediately collapsed when he heard this and said bitterly, "The first line of defense?"
"What?" Zhong Yi's eyes sank and said, "Don't you?"
Chapter completed!
