In Chongqing, the commander-in-chief.

President Chang, He Yingpei, Xu Yongsheng, Chen Shi and other senior generals of the Party and the country were all surrounded in front of the map, listening to the explanation of Liu Sheng, the Director of Operations.

Liu Sheng pointed to the map and said, "Principal and colleagues, as of 7:00 p.m. today, the 74th Army and the 29th Army, which belonged to the First Corps, have advanced to Wuchang and are currently organizing a crossing of the river from the Wuchang Wharf!"

"The Second Army, which belongs to the Third Corps, has advanced to the eastern suburbs of Hankou, and its vanguard, the 42nd Army, has advanced to Minji Township, less than fifty miles away from Xiaogan!"

"The 11th Army and the 19th Army, which belong to the Fourth Corps, have also entered Yingcheng, near Yunmeng, less than thirty miles from Xiaogan!"

"In addition, the four armies and two legions directly under the jurisdiction of the Fifth War Zone have also advanced to Anlu and Huang'an. At the latest to date, all participating troops in our Fifth War Zone and the Ninth War Zone can basically reach outside Xiaogan City and form a four-sided encirclement against the Second Army of Nianyan, Dongjiu'er Palace!"

Principal Chang nodded and asked, "Will there be no accident?"

Liu Sheng said: "What is the accident that the principal refers to?"

Principal Chang said: "For example, the Japanese army suddenly broke through Xiaogan."

"This won't!" Liu Sheng said, "Unless the Japanese army does not want to survive, they will never break through at this time!"

He Yingpei on the side also said: "If the Japanese army really breaks through Xiaogan, it will be a good thing for our army, because in this way, our army can be spared from the tough battle!"

"Yes." Chen Shiyi said, "The battle against the enemy has always been our army's weakness!"

"No." Liu Sheng also said, "It was because our army's lack of attack capabilities that we failed to achieve the goal of completely annihilation of the Japanese Seya Detachment and Sakamoto Detachment! What a pity!"

"But this time it's probably different!" Principal Chang suddenly said.

Liu Sheng looked moved and said, "The principal said, the 200th Division?"

"Not bad!" said Principal Chang, "The previous counterattack in Hanyang by the Wuhan Garrison District fully proved that the tank cluster has an irreplaceable and huge role in the tough battle. This time, in order to ensure that it can completely wipe out the second army of Dongjiugu Niyan, I have ordered Du Yuming's 200th Division to go north from Hengyang urgently. This time, it should have passed Yueyang!"

"That's great!" Liu Sheng said excitedly, "With Du Yuming's armored division, there will definitely be no problem!"

"I think so!" President Chang said happily, "Now you can discuss the establishment of the front enemy command!"

Hearing this, He Yingpei, Xu Yongsheng, Chen Shi, and even Song Ziwen, who had just arrived at the command, were all cheered up because the establishment and candidates of this front-line command were related to the vital interests of their various factions!

The Wuhan defense battle was won, but this military achievement belonged to the Wuhan garrison, Feng Yuxiang and Zhong Yi, and the Luojia Group. It is difficult for them to reach in again!

Regarding this, even President Chang must recognize it!

But fortunately, the Battle of Wuhan is only the first half of the Battle of Wuhan!

The essence of the Wuhan Battle lies in the second half after winning the Wuhan Defense War, which is the encirclement and annihilation of the Second Army of Higashijiujiu Nihiko. Because the victory of defending the city belongs to defensive operations, while the encirclement and annihilation of the Second Army belongs to offensive operations. The victory of defensive operations will never have the highlight of victory in offensive operations, attracting attention!

To give the simplest example, in the original historical time and space, most of the contributions to the Wanjialing victory were attributed to the 58th Division of Feng Shengfa. In order to block the gap and cut off the escape route of the Japanese 106th Division, the 58th Division fought more than 9,000 people to only more than 700 people, and the battle was not bad! The war was of great significance!

But in the end, the only thing people remember is Zhang Lingfu's 305th Regiment that captured Zhang Gufeng!

Why? Because Zhang Lingfu's 305th regiment captured Zhang Gufeng more and more eye-catching!

The same is true for this Wuhan Battle. The Wuhan Defense War was fierce enough, and more than 100,000 Japanese devils were wiped out. However, no matter how good the battle was, it was destined to be unable to compete with the upcoming Xiaogan encirclement and annihilation battle that will be staged next!

In the eyes of Chen Shi, He Yingpei, Xu Yongsheng, Song Ziwen and other party and state officials, the current second army of Dongjiuer Palace Nianyan has been completely disabled in the Battle of Wuhan. In addition, Du Yuming's armored division took the lead, so there is no suspense in the encirclement and annihilation of Dongjiuer Palace Nianyan's Second Army this time!

Therefore, it is crucial to put your own manpower into the front enemy command center!

Because as long as you enter the front enemy command, you can steadily gain the merits of the battle!

It would be even more amazing if we could become a key figure in the front-line command!

At present, all the members of the Party and the country have cheered up and prepared to bargain or exchange interests privately, which is a game.

All of this is long, but in a flash.

Speaking of this, Principal Chang continued: "Originally, Jiansheng, as the acting commander-in-chief of the Fifth War Zone, was the best candidate for the commander-in-chief of the front-line enemy, but unfortunately, he had to sit in Sui County and preside over the overall situation of the Fifth War Zone, so he could not go to the front line of Xiaogan!"

The officials present were not surprised at all.

President Chang expressed his respect for Bai Chongbei, but Bai Chongbei's identity as a backbone of the Guangxi clan has never been changed, so President Chang would never give such a huge military achievements to the Guangxi clan for free!

After a pause, Principal Chang said again: "The commander-in-chief of the front enemy, Xue Yue will be the one who takes charge of this front-end enemy."

The officials present were not surprised by this. In fact, everyone has already seen the clues since President Chang insisted on asking Xue Yue to personally lead the 74th Army and the 29th Army to head north.

Regarding the candidate for commander-in-chief, everyone will not and cannot compete with Principal Chang.

No matter what, President Chang is the leader of the Party and the country, and the biggest piece of cake must be his.

But even President Chang dares to take all his interests into his own hands. He doesn’t want to share the benefits equally. Who will work hard for you?

At that moment, President Chang said again: "Where do you have any good candidates for the deputy commander-in-chief, chief of staff and director of the staff?"

Chen Shi immediately said: "Principal, Zhang Lingfu performed very well in the battles on the Hunan-Jiangxi border, and his cooperation with Xue Yue was also very tacit. Why would he be the chief of staff of the former enemy command?"

When everyone heard this, they looked at each other, saying that Chen Shi was going to vigorously cultivate Zhang Lingfu!

But this is also normal. No matter what, Zhang Lingfu is born in the Civil Engineering Department after all!

No matter where he goes in the future, the imprint of the civil and wood system will be stamped in this life!
