At the same time, in the Hankou Military Camp.

Sun Liren was sitting together with Zhu Liangcheng, Liu Yuanlin, Shi Zude, Chen Jing'an, Liu Futing, Pan Zihe, Zhou Mengxiong, Zhang Buwu and others chatting.

At this time, the new 38th Division and eight honorary divisions had been expanded. Not only were the supplementary troops in place, but all the veterans also returned to the team after recovering from injury. Now these nine divisions are already full of Class C divisions!

Before this, the division-level organization of the National Army was divided into three categories: A, B and C.

The Class A Division has three brigades and nine regiments, with a full force of up to 20,000 or even 30,000! The First Division of the First Army, the 11th Division of the 18th Army and the Central Military Academy Teaching Corps are typical Class A Divisions, but now the Central Military Academy Teaching Corps no longer exists. The First Division and the 11th Division have also been reduced to the C Division of the Two Brigades and Four Regiments.

The B Division has two brigades and six regiments, but they are almost impossible to find now.

Division C has two brigades and four regiments under its jurisdiction, with a full force of about 10,000 people. Including Principal Chang's Central Army, almost all of the more than 200 divisions of the National Army are in this organization!

So, Zhu Liangcheng and the others are already serious teachers.

When they gather together to communicate with each other, they are also full of confidence.

The topic they were discussing was naturally that the two Japanese troops were approaching, and they were probably going to return to build their own buildings soon.

As he was talking, Sun Liren suddenly looked solemn and said solemnly: "Everyone, there is a saying that Sun doesn't vomit!"

Zhu Liangcheng and others immediately stopped talking to each other, and their eyes also fell on Sun Liren's face.

Sun Liren's eyes swept across the faces of Zhu Liangcheng and others, and said, "Now, our positions are already lieutenant generals, and most of the military ranks are major generals and colonels. It can be said that he has officially entered the ranks of senior generals of the Party and the State. However, our ability to be today has a lot to do with Brother Zi Ren!"

Everyone nodded gently because this was the fact.

Didn’t Zhong Yi take them to win the battle, how could they be today?

After pausing, Sun Liren said again: "As the saying goes, drink water and never forget the well digger. No matter which army we are organized into, which war zone we are in, no matter where we are, even if we are the commander-in-chief of the army or the chief of the war zone, we must not forget Zi Ren's kindness and this friendship today!"

"That's natural. If we forget anyone, we will never forget Ziren's kindness!"

"Brother Fumin said very well. In the future, we should be together and help each other!"

"I'm just talking here. Who would dare to be ungrateful? I, Liu Yuanlin, and I, are irreconcilable!"

Several division commanders expressed their opinions, but Zhu Liangcheng didn't say much, but just curled his lips slightly.

At this moment, Qi Xueqi, the deputy commander of the New 38th Division, suddenly came over and reported to Sun Liren: "The head of the division, the head of the department urgently sent a telegram!"

Sun Liren waved his hand and said, "Remember!"

"Yes!" Qi Xueqi agreed and immediately launched a telegram to recite, "I will appoint Sun Liren as the commander of the front enemy on Pinghan Road, and then form the front enemy command of Pinghan Road, and lead the New 38th Division and the Honorary First Division to the Honorary Eighth Division immediately to the North of Xiaogan to block the Japanese army along the Pinghan Railway at least ten days to ensure the safety of the main force's retreat westward passage!"

After reading it, there was a moment of silence in the lounge, and cheers were immediately heard.

Zhu Liangcheng, Liu Yuanlin, Shi Zude and others came forward to congratulate Sun Liren.

"Brother Fumin, we just said you were losing money. Brothers and others were promoted to commanders, but you were still commanders. As soon as you finished speaking, you were promoted to commander-in-chief of the front enemy!"

"Hi, the commander-in-chief of the front enemy is a temporary position, temporary!"

"The temporary position is also great. You, the commander-in-chief of the front enemy, have lived the days of the commander-in-chief of the group army!"

"Overall commander-in-chief of the army may not be as generous as Brother Fumin. He now has nine divisions! He is also elite divisions who can fight tough battles!"

"Old Liu, is there anyone who praises you like this?"

"Hahahaha..." At the end of the story, everyone laughed.

But only I know the central relationship. At least some people are really happy for Sun Liren, and some people may not be, such as Liu Yuanlin and Shi Zude.

After the laughter stopped, Sun Liren said with a straight face: "Everyone, since the chief officer has issued an order, Sun can only reluctantly take office. I hope your colleagues can support you!"

Speaking of this, he said, "Now, please go back to the garrison and gather the troops immediately. We will set off in half an hour!"

"yes!"

...

Two hours later, in Nanjing.

Commander of the Aviation Corps, Shihe Zhongzhi, walked quickly into the war room.

Hata Shunruo, who was observing the enemy and us on the side of the sand table, turned around when he heard the sound.

"God of General!" Shi Ka Takaji walked quickly to Hata Shunruo and paused his head. "Aviation scouts reported that there were a group of soldiers moving southward from Guifeng Mountain to Huang'an, and there were a group of soldiers moving north from Hankou toward Xiaogan!"

"The Chinese army's reaction was so fast!" said Zheng San by the river. "They want to defend their wings and ensure the passage of the main force in the Dabie Mountains to retreat westward!"

"As expected!" Hata Shunruo nodded slightly and said, "How many troops do these two Chinese armies have?"

Shih Zhongzhi said: "There are at least 100,000 Chinese troops heading north to Xiaogan, and about 30,000 Chinese troops heading south to Huang'an!"

"Nani? There are 100,000 Chinese troops going north to Xiaogan?" Hebian Zhengsan suddenly looked shaking when he heard this, and said in a deep voice, "Has the Chinese veteran injured in the Battle of Wuhan been injured and returned to the team?"

"It should be." Shinji Hata nodded and said, "It is impossible for there to be another army!"

"Great General, it's a little trouble now." Hebian Zheng San said, "This is Zhong Yi's army, and its combat effectiveness is extraordinary. Although the 12th Army's southward cluster has four divisions and two reorganized heavy artillery brigades, it is probably a huge challenge to break through Xiaogan within five days!"

But Shinji Hata waved his hand and said, "Kan Kawabian, don't you think this is a good thing?"

"Nani? It's a good thing?" Kawabian Masazo said in confusion, "What does your general mean?"

Hata Shunruo said: "The Chinese high-level officials transferred Zhong Yi's troops north to Xiaogan and blocked the 12th Army going south, which is enough to show that the main force of the Chinese army in the Dabie Mountains did not intend to retreat quickly, but was preparing to alternate covers and retreat in an orderly manner. This gave us more time to surround it and then wipe out it all!"

After pausing, Hata Shunruo continued: "And, this will also give us a god-given opportunity to encircle and annihilate Zhong Yi's troops and to cleanse his former shame for His Highness Higashi Kurou Palace and the Second Army!"
Chapter completed!
