At this time, in Nanjing. Novels.

Central China Front Army Command.

Junliu stood in the yard with his hands on his back and looked up at the Dongfang Sky.

In the eastern sky, a red sun was passing through the thin clouds, and the sky was already bright.

The deep footsteps came from behind. Without looking back, Toshiro knew that he was Okamura Yasuji, the commander of the 11th Army, and the Chief of Staff of the Front Army, Masazo Kawabian, came over.

"Your Excellency General!" The two walked to Junliu and bowed their heads at the same time.

Jun Liu neither looked back nor paid attention to the two of them, but said Youyou: "It's the fourth day!"

"Hayi!" Tanabe Masazo said, "Today is the fourth day of the Second Army launching a general attack on Hankou and Hanyang!"

"But, both Hankou and Hanyang are still under the control of the Chinese army!" Shunruo turned around and his sharp eyes flashed across the faces of Masazo and Okamura Neji by the river.

"Hayi!" Kawabian Masao paused his head, "and the Second Army lost twelve elite infantry regiments and a large amount of technical equipment for this!"

Okamura Yasuji continued: "Now, the Second Army's strength has been weakened to a very dangerous situation!"

"Yes." Kawabian Masazo continued, "In the three days of general attack, all eight infantry corpses of the 10th Division and the 13th Division belonging to the Second Army were destroyed. The 16th Division and the 116th Division had only three complete infantry corpses left. It can be foreseen that after today's attack is over, the only three infantry corpses will be destroyed!"

Okamura Yasuji said again: "At that time, the four main divisions under the Second Army will only be left with a large number of wounded soldiers, as well as technical troops such as engineers, artillery, and baggage troops! Just wait until the main troops of the Chinana Fifth War Zone and the Ninth War Zone arrive at the Wuhan battlefield, the Second Army will be in a desperate situation that will never be restored!"

After a pause, Okamura Yasuji continued: "The Second Army was completely wiped out, which will be a high probability event!"

Shunliu was shocked when he heard this. Since the outbreak of the Japanese-China War to this day, the Japanese army has been defeated, and even the entire division has been completely wiped out. However, the entire army is completely wiped out, which is still an unprecedented major event. Once the Second Army is really completely wiped out by the Chinese team, it is very likely to affect the direction of the entire Japanese-China War!

Hebian Zhengsan said anxiously: "God General, hurry up and order the Second Army to stop the attack and retreat to Xiaogan!"

However, Okamura Yasuji waved his hand and said, "It's too late to order the Second Army to stop the attack at this time, and your Highness will never listen. Now we must prepare for the fate of the Second Army and make preparations long ago!"

"Prepare for the future and prepare early?" Toshiro said sternly, "Okamura, what do you mean?"

Okamura Yasuji said: "Great General, please tell me directly. Since the Battle of Wuhan, the failure of the Second Army has been inevitable. Fortunately, the Second Army still has tens of thousands of troops, and after retreating to Xiaogan, it can last for at least a period of time. Therefore, as long as reinforcements can arrive at Xiaogan in time, the Second Army can still avoid the collective ending of the shattered jade!"

Junliu said: "You mean, let the 15th Division go south along the Pinghan Line and rush to Xiaogan?"

"No, the 15th Division alone cannot save the Second Army!" Okamura Niji shook his head and said, "Even if our 11th Army came out in full swing, he could not save His Highness Nianyan's Second Army. The only one who can save them now is to urgently mobilize and send additional reinforcements from the local area!"

After pausing, Okamura Yasuji continued: "Also, the mobilization of troops must not be less than ten divisions!"

"Nani, ten divisions?" Toshirodao, "Okamura, what is the situation in the imperial finance now? You don't know. Do you think the base camp may agree to this request?"

Okamura Yasuji said: "Great General, if the base camp does not agree, then wait for His Highness Nianyan's Second Army to be completely wiped out, then wait for the situation of the Japanese-China War to reverse, and wait for the Chinese army to counterattack!"

"Counterattack?" Kawabian Masasa said, "Okamura, do you think the Chinese army has the ability to launch a counterattack?"

"This is definitely not a terrifying voice for me!" Okamura Yasuji said, "Kabaya, you might as well imagine how much encourage their morale will be after the Chinese army won the victory in the Wuhan defense battle? And the Soviet government will continue to increase its aid to the Chinese government!"

He paused and said, "At that time, the weapons and equipment aided by the Soviet Union will continue to enter China, and even the air force may continue to enter China. After receiving these weapons and equipment, the combat effectiveness of the Chinese army will increase greatly. In addition, their morale and fighting spirit will be encouraged again. It is not impossible for the situation of the Sino-Japanese War to completely reverse!"

After another pause, Okamura Yasuji said: "In order to avoid such an unfavorable situation, the Empire must make up its mind to mobilize at least ten heavy troops from more than ten divisions, rush to the Wuhan battlefield, rescue the Second Army, and at the same time eliminate the unrealistic ideas of the Chinese army! Tell them with facts that confronting the Empire and the Imperial Army is a dead end!"

Kawabian Masazo shook his head and said, "Okamura, I still feel that you are a little scared to hear it."

Jun Liu also said: "The Second Army may not be able to take over Wuhan, but it should be worrying about protecting itself!"

After a moment of pause, Jun Liu said again: "But for the sake of safety, the 15th Division stationed in Zhengzhou was ordered to gather immediately and prepare to go south to Xiaogan along the Pinghan Railway. At the same time, the 17th Division stationed in Xuzhou was ordered to advance west along the Longhai Line and replace the 15th Division stationed in Zhengzhou. Xuzhou's defense will be temporarily handed over to the First Army!"

"Hayi!" The riverside Zheng San paused his head suddenly, turned around and left.

Okamura Yasuji sighed lightly and said no more.

...

Almost at the same time, in the Chongqing Command.

Due to regional differences, the sky in Nanjing is already bright, but the sky in Chongqing has just turned bright.

Looking at the dawn that appeared in the clouds in the east, Principal Chang said quietly to the senior general beside him: "It's dawn, and the Japanese general attack on Wuhan has entered the fourth day!"

"Yes!" Liu Sheng nodded and said in a deep voice, "It's the fourth day!"

He Yingpei said in a deep voice: "I really didn't expect that the troops in the Wuhan Garrison District could last until today!"

"Yes!" Chen Shi also said deeply, "I originally thought that under the Japanese army's day and night attack, Hankou and Hanyang would be lost at most for two days, but I never expected that until today, Hankou and Hanyang are still firmly in the hands of our Wuhan garrison troops!"
