Wang Mingyu sat upright in the conference room, his face calmly, and a group of people rushed to the combat conference room. Wang Mingyu held the baton and faced the entire Wuhan battle map on the wall and said: Tongcheng is our current location. From here, we advanced into Hubei and directly to Wuhan. Therefore, Tongcheng is an important hub of the combat defense line north of the Yangtze River. I have talked about these before, but why did we come up with it today to explain the importance of our Tongcheng garrison. From the current perspective, the 6th Division of the Japanese army, the main force, Hatan Detachment, has formed a siege for Tongcheng. From the current information, the Japanese army has gathered about 35,000 troops to hoard Tongcheng. Their intention is very obvious, that is, to open the defense line of Tongcheng, continue to advance westward, and complete their encirclement of Wuhan.

Wu Peilin calmly said: If the Japanese want to pass through our defense zone, they must also consider how much pounds they have.

Wang Mingyu smiled and said: Yes, even if the Japanese army wants to forcibly pass through our defense zone, they have to pay the price of bleeding. They may have forgotten the reputation of our 318th Army and forgot their bloody lessons. Just now, you may also know that the Japanese 6th Division teams divided into two groups to gather at the two gates of the northeast of Tongcheng. I expect that they may make a big move tomorrow. My request is to try their best to eliminate the Japanese army and hurt them, so that they have to send more reinforcements. This can alleviate the combat pressure of the Xue Yue regiment in Henan on the northern line to provide sufficient guarantees for the final victory.

Yao Ziqing smiled and said: I'm not afraid of the Japanese who didn't attack, I'm afraid they didn't attack. As long as they attack, we will definitely let them know that our 318th Army has never given them any good fruits to eat.

Zhang Deendao: Yesterday, a gang of the Botian detachment attacked my south gate. The soldiers' performance was still remarkable. Only a few soldiers could not adapt to the battlefield quickly. However, I believe that if I give them one or two chances, they will definitely be able to adapt to the battlefield. If it really doesn't work, I will put them on the logistics side.

Wang Mingyu said: Lao Zhang’s suggestion is very good. Not every soldier can do it well. This is also a problem we have to face. As for the current situation, our army has sufficient personnel configuration, and now the 26th Army is stationed outside the Xicheng Gate. When we have no choice, we can only ask Chairman Jiang to supplement the 26th Army to our 318th Army.

Qian Liye smiled and said: If that is the case, should we send some people to train them now?

Wang Mingyu thoughtfully and thought that this method was very feasible. Xu Yuanquan, the commander-in-chief of the 26th Army, wanted to move closer to him. Now they were also helping the 318th Army to defend Tongcheng in name, what Wang Mingyu needs to do is to generate a power to Chairman Jiang, asking him to agree to temporarily let the 26th Army's troops be temporarily controlled by him. Then, after the training is formed, it will not be decided by others. The battle in Wuhan will last for at least four to five months. At that time, this group of soldiers who have a certain training foundation should be able to be put into the battlefield. Wang Mingyu, who thought of this, slapped the table and said: Gaoshan, send a power to Chairman Jiang.

Gao Shan immediately stood up and said: Yes, the content of the military seat is

Wang Mingyu thought for a while and said: The importance of the battle between Tongcheng and Wuhan is self-evident. At present, the 318th Army faced the 6th Japanese Division and the Hatan Detachment, with a total of more than 35,000 people. The defensive pressure was very high. The committee considered the 26th Army to which Xu Yuanquan belonged to was temporarily controlled by our army. After the Wuhan battle, it was returned to the battle sequence.

Wu Peilin knew that Wang Mingyu had joined secretly. He felt that this would not be a future rival. So he asked with some confusion: Military commander, is it not appropriate for us to do this?

Wang Mingyu looked at Wu Peilin and knew what Wu Peilin was thinking, but Wang Mingyu knew that eight years of the War of Resistance Against Japan, nearly ten million troops were sent out. This was the early stage of the War of Resistance Against Japan. Those things were things that happened in the future, and the civil war between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party was a very headache for Wang Mingyu. Wang Mingyu would never be able to open fire on these former comrades. The final result was that he could only go far away to repay the motherland in another way. These things were things that he considered in the future. It was really not suitable to consider so much now. The main purpose at this stage is to defeat the Japanese army. As for the future, he could only take one step at a time.

At first, it was because I was influenced by the original history so deeply that I regarded the entire Kuomintang as a party that did everything evilly, in fact, it was obviously not the case. There were no mistakes in all the mistakes. The mistake was that Chairman Jiang deviated from Mr. Sun Yat-sen's philosophy and committed dictatorship and harm. Of course, we do not deny that some of them were scum, but the price they paid during the eight-year war of resistance was also something we cannot ignore.

No matter what, now is not the time to talk about these things. There is only suitable or not. There is no absolute right or wrong. As a soldier, Wang Mingyu’s task is to drive away foreign enemies. As for the rest, everything can be temporarily cut off. Wang Mingyu said to Wu Peilin: I have decided on the matter of the 26th Army, but Chairman Jiang may not agree to us doing this. Now it depends on what Chairman Jiang sees. Now everyone will go back and prepare. Starting tonight, we must strengthen our guard against the Japanese army’s unexpected attack. Although the Japanese army is not good at night fighting, if they are unexpected, we will also suffer a lot of losses.

Yes, the military throne left and went to their positions after saying that.

Wuhan, leader's residence

Chairman Jiang is discussing the situation of the Wuhan Battle with a group of senior leaders. Judging from the current situation, everything is still not optimistic.

Chairman Jiang said: The battle on the front line of the south bank of the Yangtze River is very unfavorable. The Japanese army attempted to pass through northern Jiangxi and Wuhan. The water defense arrangements in the Yangtze River area are currently pretty good. The Japanese navy should not be able to enter at present, but the pressure on the northern line is increasing.

He Yingqin said: At present, my millions of troops are guarding Wuhan. I think we will eventually end with victory in the Wuhan Battle. Speaking of war, Chairman Jiang is a bit stinky, but Minister He seems to be even worse than Chairman Jiang. His words can really make Chairman Jiang laugh.

A senior adviser said: Commissioner, the Japanese army has broken through the defense line in Anqing area of ​​Hefei. After breaking through Tongcheng, it can directly enter the gateway of Hubei. This line is very dangerous.

Chairman Jiang smiled indifferently: On the contrary, what I feel most at ease with now is this line.

Oh, what the commissioner means is that several staff members can't figure out why Chairman Jiang has such confidence.

Hey, at present, the strongest combat power of my combat sequence, the 318th Army is stationed in Tongcheng, confronting the Hatan Detachment of the 6th Division of the Japanese Army. I think even if they are unruly, they can last at least two months. If they can severely damage the Japanese army, then the Japanese army will inevitably mobilize Japanese reinforcements in southern Shandong and northern Jiangsu. When the pressure in other places will be reduced, Chairman Chiang said with great gratitude that the emergence of the 318th Army has indeed greatly alleviated the current pressure. If the 318th Army had not dragged the 35,000 Japanese troops, Chairman Chiang would still need to mobilize troops to garrison the gateway in East Hubei. In this way, the power to defend Wuhan has weakened a lot.

People below are talking about it. The reputation of the 318th Army is no longer necessary to explain in detail. After becoming famous in the Battle of Songhu, their good news spread frequently. However, during the Battle of Xuzhou, they suddenly disappeared and slowly faded out of the sight of these people. Chairman Jiang also intentionally did not say it, but just wanted to wait for the 318th Army to make achievements and promote it well. This would inspire the people of the country. But it would be okay to talk about it now, because they have already taken root in Tongcheng.

Just as everyone was talking, Chairman Jiang's guard rushed over and said: "Commission, Tongcheng urgently ran."

Chairman Jiang looked at the guard's expression and thought something big had happened in Tongcheng. He was so scared that he picked up the telegram. After watching it carefully, he thought about it. Wang Mingyu's request was not too high. The 26th Army was a very neutral army commander-in-chief Xu Yuanquan did not surrender to either side at all. He looked like a rootless duckweed now.

Wang Mingyu wanted to temporarily control this army, or wanted to take it for himself. It is not known that Chairman Jiang has not known the current situation. The 26th Army lost Hefei, and Xu Yuanquan had been named by the head of the Fifth War Zone. However, now they are nominally resisting in Tongcheng, which makes Li Zongren angry and have no place to vent.

Since Li Zongren wants to kill, Chairman Jiang feels that it is time to give Xu Yuanquan a favor and can appease the hearts of the 318th Army. Why not do such a good thing? Chairman Jiang said to the guards: Immediately send a message to Xu Yuanquan, the 26th Army lost Hefei and died, but I am thinking that Xu Yuanquan is committed to the country, and is fighting hard to resist the Japanese army in Tongcheng. I am also informing Xu Yuanquan that the 26th Army belonging to Xu Yuanquan is temporarily included in the 318th Army. Under the control of the 318th Army, the Tongcheng Guard Command will be established, with Wang Mingyu as commander, and Xu Yuanquan as deputy commander. This order will take effect immediately.

Everyone was surprised. The army was controlled by the army level. This is unheard of. Only in this situation can we see such a wonder. Of course, it is undeniable that the 318th Army is indeed capable of controlling the 26th Army. Although everyone was surprised, the situation in Wuhan was very subtle, and everyone also understood Chairman Jiang's thoughts.
