Chen Shi's words were like water dripping into the oil pan and it exploded instantly.

"What?"

“What’s going on?”

"Has Okamura Yasuo's 11th Army withdrawn?"

"How is this possible? Why did the Japanese army withdraw their troops?"

All the senior generals and senior staff members present were blown up.

Principal Chang was also a little confused and asked: "Ci Xiu, did the telegram say why the Japanese army withdrew?"

"Some say," Chen Shi said, "In the telegram, the Japanese army was forced to withdraw troops and rest because of the outbreak of large areas of malaria in the army!"

"Malaria?!" Liu Sheng said happily, "This is really God's will!"

"Yes, this is really God helping me!" Bai Chong said with great excitement, "This malaria is really just right. With the outbreak of malaria and the withdrawal of the 11th Army of Okamura, the flanking threat of Tianjia Town was instantly lifted. As long as the fortress of Tianjia Town is not lost, the three towns in Wuhan still have the possibility of continuing to stick to it!"

Liu Sheng then said: "In other words, the fighter jets that surrounded and annihilated the Second Army of Higashijiujiu Nihiko have appeared again!"

"What? The fighter planes that surrounded and annihilated the Second Army of Nianyan of Dongjiugu appeared again?" Chen Shi said disapprovingly, "For Brother Zhang and Brother Jiansheng, are you too optimistic, right?"

"Are you too optimistic? I can't see it." Liu Sheng said, "The malaria epidemic is greatly affected by the weather, which means that at least before the end of September, the malaria epidemic will not be able to ease. In other words, at least before the end of September, Okamura's main force of the 11th Army will not be able to launch another offensive!"

Bai Chong said sadly: "Without the threat from the main force of Okamura's 11th Army, Zhang Fakui's Second Corps and Li Pinxian's Fourth Corps are fully capable of defending the north and south sides of the Yangtze River. After all, the Japanese large-tonnage warships cannot penetrate the Yangtze River. It is impossible to break through the Tianjia Town Fortress with small-tonnage warships and gunboats alone!"

Liu Sheng continued: "As long as the fortress in Tianjia Town is not lost, the Japanese Navy's gunboats will not reach Wuhan, and the waterways in the Wuhan section of the Yangtze River will still be under the control of our army. The personnel and materials of the three towns in Wuhan can still be allocated calmly, and even reinforcements from the Fifth War Zone and the Ninth War Zone can continue to rush to Wuhan!"

Bai Chong said sadly: "This means that the Wuhan Garrison Command is fully capable of stalemate with the second army of Higashinomiya Nianyan in the three towns of Wuhan. When the second army of Higashinomiya Nianyan was exhausted, it was time for our army to counterattack! Even if we cannot completely wipe out the Second Army, there is no problem in severe damage!"

Liu Sheng said again: "Once Higakuremiya Nianhiko's Second Army is severely damaged, Okamura's 11th Army will be unable to support it and will be unable to attack again. In this way, our army will win the battle of Wuhan!"

"That's the reason!" Bai Chong said sadly, "Principal, the fighter plane has appeared again!"

At this point, Principal Chang finally realized his reaction and a flush appeared on his face.

The reason why Principal Chang ordered the withdrawal of troops was because he felt sorry for Xue Yue's First Corps and the ten infantry brigades left behind in the three towns of Wuhan. These were all elite forces of the Party and the country. Especially the ten brigades left behind in Wuhan, not only had a large number of veterans, but also had Zhong Yi's training and were very powerful in combat!

Of course, President Chang could not agree to Zhong Yi’s wish to make a worthless sacrifice to these ten brigades!

However, now, the fighter jets that surrounded and annihilated the Second Army of Higashijiujiu Nihiko have appeared again, which is another matter! Principal Chang is not willing to sacrifice, but reluctant to make worthless sacrifices.

At that moment, Principal Chang clenched his fists and said, "Immediately call the Wuhan Garrison Command, and said that the previous order was not considered thoroughly. Now we withdraw the previous order and warn the lords of the Wuhan Garrison Command to guard Wuhan well and not allow the second army of Dongjiugu Nihiko's palace to step into Wuhan!"

Chen Shi stuttered twice, but in the end he didn't say anything.

Because based on his understanding of Principal Chang, no matter what he says at this time, it’s better to shut up!

However, Chen Shi did not think that the fighter jets that surrounded and annihilated Hitokuramiya Nihiko's Second Army had reappeared. Even without the flanking support of Okamura's Eighteenth Army, Hitokuramiya Nihiko's Second Army had a total of more than 200,000 troops. Such a huge army could the national army be able to afford it?

...

Wuchang, Wuhan Garrison Headquarters.

Qiu Zongding, the Communications Director, rushed into the large office and reported to Zhong Yi: "I'll be in charge of the seat, and the commander-in-chief's urgent telegram!"

I heard that it was an emergency telegram from the command headquarters, but Zhong Yi had not responded yet. Feng Yuxiang, who was sitting diagonally opposite him, had already stood up. He also said that the command headquarters' punishment telegram was arrived!

If the command headquarters really orders Zhong Yi to punish or even remove Zhong Yi from his command position, Feng Yuxiang decided to be qualified and refused to implement the military order! Old Feng knew very well that Zhong Yi not only had outstanding abilities in all aspects, but also had a very high personal prestige. Once it was lifted, everyone in the Wuhan Garrison Command would immediately have a great morale!

At that time, there is no need for the Japanese to take action, and the defenders will be in chaos!

Feng Yuxiang doesn’t want to be Tang Shengzhi, and he doesn’t want Wuhan to repeat the mistakes of Nanjing!

Zhong Yi was expected to be not a punishment, and he said calmly: "Remember!"

"Yes!" Qiu Zongding responded and launched a telegram and said loudly, "Wuhan Garrison Command: The command headquarters did not consider the previous orders carefully. Now we withdraw the previous orders. We hope that the Wuhan Garrison Command will unite and share the same hatred of the enemy. We will not allow the second army of Dongjiugu Niyan, the second army of Dongjiugu, to step into Wuhan!"

"Give me the telegram!" Feng Yuxiang quickly received the telegram after hearing this.

After reading the telegram, Feng Yuxiang couldn't help but say to Zhong Yi: "Zi Ren, it's so dangerous! Fortunately, I listened to you and did not implement the command of the commander. Otherwise, I would retreat for a while but not retreating, and the morale of the army would not be in chaos?"

Zhong Yi shook his head and smiled and said, "Don't worry, with me here, the morale of the army will definitely not be in chaos."

"I believe this." Feng Yuxiang nodded and continued, "By the way, why did the commander suddenly change his mind?"

"Because Okamura's 11th Army withdrew its troops!" Qiu Zongding said, handing another telegram in the folder to Feng Yuxiang, saying, "The fighter jets that surrounded and annihilated the Second Army have appeared again!"

Feng Yuxiang received the telegram and read it, and said happily: "Zi Ren, this is really God's will!"

After pausing, Feng Yuxiang said again: "As soon as Okamura's 11th Army retreated, the threat of Tianjia Town's flank will be lifted instantly. We will have no worries and can let go of our hands and feet. This old devil, Higashijiugu, has done this old devil! Ziren, don't let me down, you must fight this old devil!"
