Zhong Yi's order was conveyed quickly.

Bai Chong said sadly but worriedly: "Zi Ren, the problem now is how to lead the Japanese to the long river beside?"

Zhong Yi's eyes first fell on Bai Chong's face, and then on Li Pinxian's face, and said in a deep voice: "That depends on whether the Seventh Army and the Thirty-first Army are powerful enough!"

"What does it mean?" Li Pinxian frowned.

Zhong Yi did not answer immediately, but took the wooden pole from a staff officer, pointed to the sand table and said: "Next, the 12th regiments of the Seventh Army and the 12th regiments of the 31st Army will respectively block the 22nd and 27th regiments of the Japanese Army, and continuously adjust their defenses during the blocking process."

"Adjust the defense?" Li Pinxian said, "How to adjust?"

Zhong Yi said: "If the Japanese march route is too north, strengthen the defense on the north side and too south, strengthen the defense on the south side. In short, you must lock other passages and force the Japanese to enter the long river bay!"

"What? Are you kidding, aren't you?" Li Pinxian said in a lost voice, "How can the Seventh Army and the Thirty-first Army alone complete such a arduous task? Even if you transfer ten armies, you can't complete it!"

"Sir Li, don't worry!" Zhong Yi said, "The Japanese target is the 600,000 elite troops in the entire Dabie Mountains war zone, rather than the Seventh Army and the Thirty-One Army of the Guangxi Army. Therefore, after being blocked by the Gui army, the Japanese army will most likely choose to detour on the ground without having a choice, rather than fighting head-on with the Seventh Army and the Thirty-One Army."

"This is just your speculation!" Li Pinxian said, "I must never take the 60,000 officers and soldiers of the 11th Army to take risks! Especially because of your words!"

Zhong Yi didn't say anything more, just looked back at Bai Chongde.

At the beginning, Zhong Yi and Bai Chongbei emphasized that if all factions cannot work together in this battle, but only want to consume other families and protect their own families, then don’t fight as soon as possible.

Bai Chong gritted his teeth and said, "He Ling, execute the order!"

"Mr. Jian..." Li Pinxian became anxious, and was about to speak but was interrupted by Bai Chongge.

Bai Chong griefed and interrupted Li Pinxian and said in a deep voice: "This battle is not only related to the safety of more than 100,000 officers and soldiers of the two armies of our Guangxi Army, but also to the life and death of the 600,000 soldiers of the entire Dabie Mountains War Zone. To put it more broadly, it is even related to the life and death of the entire country and even the entire nation!"

He paused and continued, "In view of this, it is worth it to fight all the 11th Army!"

Li Pinxian sighed lightly when he heard this, and said nothing more. Zhong Yi immediately turned to the communications army to issue an order.

...

In Nanjing, the Japanese Army Headquarters.

Frank Kuangwu hurried into the war room and stood attentively.

"Great General!" Fumikawa Fu reported to Hata Shunruo, "The 22nd Division reported that it was stubbornly blocked by the Chinese army in the Hutouyan area!"

"Thutou Rock?" Hata Shunroku said, "Where is the location?"

Fighting Kuangwu strode to the sand table and find the location of Hutouyan: "Here!"

"Suoga." Hata Shunji nodded and then asked, "How many troops does the Chinese army in Hutouyan have?"

"At least one army, more than 30,000 people!" Frankly Kuang Wudao, "Judged from the uniforms and helmets of the Chinese army, it should be the Seventh Army or the Thirty-first Army of the Guangxi clan!"

"The Guangxi Army?" Hata Shunruo said sternly, "This is an army that is not afraid of death!"

"Hayi!" said Fung Kang Wudun, "Although the command level of the senior generals of this army is poor, the quality of the grassroots officers and soldiers is extremely high! In the second stage of the Battle of Songhu, the seventh Army of the Guangxi clique lined up to launch a decisive charge towards the imperial soldiers' positions, and they would never retreat until the last soldier!"

Hebian Zhengsan said: "Your Excellency, why don't you eat this army of the Guangxi clan first?"

Commander of the Air Corps, Hitoshi Hiroshi, also said: "For every time such troops that can fight tough battles, China's resistance will be weaker! The possibility of finally resolving the Chinese incident will also increase by one!"

"No, now is not the best time!" Hata Shunruo waved his hand and said, "The most urgent task is to eliminate the main force of China! What's more, as long as the 22nd Division and the 27th Division can arrive at Hankou in time as planned, the Guangxi army will not be able to escape and will be surrounded and annihilated!"

After pausing, Hata Shunruo said again: "Call the 22nd Division immediately, and ignore the enemy in front of you. Since there is an obstacle in the passage of Hutouyan, then go to the south..."

Zheng San from the river immediately rushed to say, "Wuyun Village."

"Suga!" said Hata Shunruo happily, "just change to Wuyun Village in the south! And in this way, you can get closer to the 27th Division and be more secure in safety!"

...

In Macheng, the war zone chief department.

Bai Chongbei carried his hands on his back and forth in the war room.

Since the battle at Hutouyan began, Bai Chong's sad heart began to rise.

The Seventh Army, which was standing on the Hutouyan line, is the leader of the Guangxi clique!

In the second phase of the Battle of Shanghai, the Seventh Army had suffered a heavy blow, and more than 10,000 suicide squadrons were killed in battle, seriously weakening the combat effectiveness of the Seventh Army.

If there is another defeat this time, the Seventh Army will really hurt its vitality.

As the second-ranked figure in the new Guangxi clan, Bai Chongbei certainly did not want the Seventh Army to be hurt.

At this time, another communication soldier hurried into the war room and walked to Zhong Yi.

Bai Chongbei, Li Pinxian, Luo Zhengying and others' eyes fell on the communication soldiers.

The communications soldier shouted: "Director, the 170th Division reported that the Japanese army had abandoned the attack on Hutouyan and turned to the Wuyun Village in the south!"

Hearing this, Bai Chong couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Li Pinxian, Luo Zhengying, Yu Jishi, Sun Lianzhong and others looked at Zhong Yi sideways. Unexpectedly, the kid was really caught. The Japanese did not really get involved with the Seventh Army in Hutouyan, but seemed to have discussed with Zhong Yi. After a little contact, they detoured towards Wuyun Village in the south.

"Okay!" Zhong Yi nodded heavily and said loudly, "Transfer to my order, and the regiments immediately launch a centripetal attack towards Wuyun Village and Liuyan Mountain!"

"Yes!" The communication soldier agreed and hurried into the communications office next door.

Bai Chong whispered: "Zi Ren, is it too early to launch a centripetal attack now? After all, there are many options for the Japanese, so they may not necessarily choose Changhewan!"
Chapter completed!
