The Japanese army is now mobilizing troops on a large scale, but all this is under Wang Mingyu's expectations. His fundamental purpose is to attract the Japanese army to attack Tongcheng.

To be honest, if it is an ordinary army, he really dare not attract the Japanese army like this, but Wang Mingyu's idea is naturally different from these people. Instead of letting the Japanese army control the rhythm of war, it is better to take the initiative and let yourself control the rhythm of war. At that time, the Japanese army's attack will be prepared and will not be in a hurry.

Everything in Tongcheng is ready now, just waiting for the Japanese attack to arrive, but everyone knows that the most unstable factor in Tongcheng is not the Japanese attack, but the arrival of Hu Zongnan

Hu Zongnan's arrival not only made the top leaders of Tongcheng a little annoyed, but also was angry about Chairman Jiang's actions in Tongcheng. In such a difficult situation, Chairman Jiang did not want to stabilize the morale of the army, but instead seized power to control the 318th Group Army.

This is really disappointing, but there is no way to do it right now. Chairman Jiang actually has his difficulties. Although he seems to be covering the sky with one hand, in fact, his status is mostly checks and balances. As the principal of Huangpu, although he has a group of followers, most of the local warlords have strange thoughts.

In order to consolidate its dominant position, Chairman Jiang naturally cannot let this team with extremely strong combat effectiveness fall into other countries. According to the combat effectiveness of the 318th Army, they are completely an anomaly. Whoever can get such a force can basically improve their strength to a height

Chairman Jiang felt that if he could get such an army, his dominance would definitely be very solid. The value reflected in the 318th Army was far from comparable to combat power. Their position and influence in the minds of the people were also something Chairman Jiang urgently obtained.

As long as these things are available, Chairman Jiang is still afraid that he will be usurped by Li Zongnan and others to seize power. As long as he controls the army, everything else will be cloudy in Chairman Jiang's eyes.

Even if Li Zongnan succeeds in taking office at that time, it will be useless if they do not have absolute strength.

The Japanese Central China Front Army actively asked about Tongcheng's pre-war preparations. General Hata Shunji had only one purpose, and gave them an unexpected surprise when Tongcheng Lord changed their ownership.

In the opinion of Hata Shunruo, this is very safe. In fact, it is the same. If Wang Mingyu, the chief general of the 318th Army, was really assassinated or seriously injured by them, then it is indeed their best opportunity to attack Tongcheng at this moment.

But everything about them was directed by Wang Mingyu. At present, the Japanese army did not know that they were completely trapped in the hands of others. The original Japanese army thought they could control the initiative of this war, but in fact they did not gain any initiative at all. Everything was under the control of others.

The Japanese army in Tongcheng are actively mobilizing troops and generals. This time they have put in a lot of money. When the plane cannot be used, the Japanese army mobilized almost all of their troops to mobilize to prepare for a battle for Tongcheng with the China Army of Tongcheng.

Under the premise of the entire Wuhan Battle, a small battle was planned to come to Tongcheng. So many people can also be called a battle. The number of participants on both sides is still very large. The total number of Japanese troops is about 100,000, and the total number of people in Tongcheng is about 70,000.

Although there were many casualties and no such number was available now, at least more than 130,000 people participated in this Jedi counterattack launched by the Japanese army, at least now it seems that Tongcheng is at least in danger now.

After about one day, after receiving the support of Li Shi, Hu Zongnan successfully held the first high-level meeting of the 318th Army.

This time, not only Zhang De'en, but also Wu Peilin and Yao Ziqing arrived at the scene. At this moment, Tongcheng's defense was carried out by the Chief of Staff.

Hu Zongnan emphasized Chairman Jiang's spirit at the meeting, that is, Chairman Jiang asked him to take charge of the 318th Army first.

Wu Peilin and others had nothing. Zhang Deen clearly expressed his support for Hu Zongnan at the meeting. After Hu Zongnan asked Chairman Jiang for instructions, he also announced the appointment letter of the Military Committee of the Ministry of National Defense. Chairman Jiang did not expect that Hu Zongnan had achieved such efficiency as soon as he went there.

At that moment, the military committee was convened with a big stroke and approved Hu Zongnan's request. Of course, the reason was naturally high-sounding. That was to protect Tongcheng well and to enhance the determination of all the soldiers of the 318th Army, it was decided to enhance Zhang Deen to Lieutenant General Li Shi to Major General.

And the Supreme Military Commission ruled to inform the entire army that this matter was decided and there was no way to change it.

Hu Zongnan did this to set an example for others, that is, he is not slow to be promoted by Hu Zongnan. Even if you don’t have any contribution, you can be promoted like this.

Of course, Zhang Deen and Li Shi have actually made great contributions. They have made many contributions during their guarding Tongcheng.

Although Wu Peilin, Yao Ziqing and others are the same, the biggest difference is that Zhang Deen and Li Shi defected to him, Hu Zongnan. If the others are the same, at least Hu Zongnan can guarantee that they will be promoted to another level.

Hu Zongnan listened to reports from various city gates at the meeting. He didn't know if he didn't listen. He was shocked when he heard it. It was not that Hu Zongnan had not fought with the Japanese army, but he did not fight many times.

Hu Zongnan still knew the strong combat power of the Japanese army. But now when he heard that the Japanese army gathered 80,000 troops to attack Tongcheng, he almost sprayed out a mouthful of tea. Fortunately, the habit he developed for a long time made him not very good, but it was not easy to go.

This news has been confirmed and Hu Zongnan still asked unwillingly

I didn't expect that he would encounter unprecedented challenges as soon as he arrived in Tongcheng. If he encountered such trouble as soon as he arrived in Tongcheng, then he would have a few days to survive in Tongcheng. Then he would lose Tongcheng in a few days. It would be strange if Chairman Jiang didn't peel him off.

Why is this very simple? Wang Mingyu has been guarding Tongcheng for several months. I asked you, Hu Zongnan, to go to Tongcheng, and the city was broken by others in just a few days. At that time, he will make the 318th Army a sieve. If Hu Zongnan wants to be promoted to commander-in-chief of the Army, Chairman Jiang agrees, but others don't agree.

At this time, political enemies like Chairman Jiang naturally jumped out and wanted to be promoted in a real way, in addition to qualifications, the biggest criterion for judging now is naturally the record of fighting against the Japanese army.

Wu Peilin glanced at the popular man of Chairman Jiang and smiled and said: "It's not far away. The Japanese army is mobilizing on a large scale. I'm afraid it will launch an attack on Tongcheng soon. I don't know what kind of tricks and tricks of Chief Hu will defeat the enemy."

Wu Peilin actually caused problems for Hu Zongnan. Hu Zongnan was born in a military academy, but he was valued entirely because he was the first phase of Huangpu and was a fellow villager of Chairman Jiang.

In fact, his political ability is much stronger than his military talent. Besides, generals who fight against the Japanese army don’t have any good tricks. Now in such an emergency, if you ask him Hu Zongnan to find a way, what good way can he think of?

Hu Zongnan smiled awkwardly and said: Commander Wu still follows the previous idea of ​​Commander-in-Chief Wang Mingyu. Haven’t you always dealt with the Japanese army like this? If you need it, I can apply for more weapons and ammunition from the Party and the country to supplement you. If the Japanese army attacks, I still don’t know much about the situation when I first arrived.

Hu Zongnan's words are naturally very thief. At this time, he is unwilling to come up with a blind eye. Once anything happens, any of his decisions will be his fault.

Now he doesn't speak, if he gets the results, he will naturally have a contribution. If the Japanese army succeeds, it can be said that the Japanese army is too strong. The defenders of Tongcheng have tried their best.

And everyone knows the combat effectiveness of the 318th Army. Even if Tongcheng is lost, the casualties of the Japanese army will definitely not be so small. To be honest, it is a dream that the Japanese army will not be killed or injured tens of thousands of times and want to take down Tongcheng. It is precisely because of this that Hu Zongnan was silent and retreated to advance.

Wu Peilin smiled as he listened to Hu Zongnan's words. He didn't expect Hu Zongnan to say anything nutritious.

Everything in Tongcheng has been arranged now. Hu Zongnan doesn't speak now and obviously wants to use calmness to control himself. However, Wu Peilin is not afraid of any real sparks coming out. Wang Mingyu controls everything.

Everyone was having a meeting. Hu Zongnan heard that the Japanese army was going to attack in general, but he had no intention of continuing to win over the personnel. Now he just wanted to stay in Tongcheng first. If Tongcheng was broken, everything would be empty talk.

After the few people left, Hu Zongnan was thinking about what he should do if Tongcheng lost. After thinking about it, there was no way.

Hu Zongnan simply planned to tell the Chairman the news and let Chairman Jiang decide that this is also Hu Zongnan's cleverness. In this way, Hu Zongnan can directly listen to Chairman Jiang's opinions. At that time, Chairman Jiang would not blame him if he wanted to blame him.

Chairman Jiang was also slightly shocked after receiving Hu Zongnan's telegram. The Japanese army chose to attack at this time, obviously the incident of the change of ownership of the 318th Group Army in Tongcheng was spread, but he had no way to do anything about the pervasive intelligence. Chairman Jiang quickly responded to Hu Zongnan, meaning that Tongcheng could not be lost.

Chairman Jiang didn't want to come up with any ideas, but he couldn't come up with any ideas at all. Tongcheng couldn't be thrown away, but at least he couldn't be thrown away in the last stage. Otherwise, if he sent Hu Zongnan over there, it wouldn't be picking peaches, but to cheat him.

Of course, Chairman Jiang also felt that if Hu Zongnan really memorized this little, then he would have no choice. Human luck is sometimes very important.

The Japanese army's preparations are ready, and a fierce battle is waiting for the 318th Army
Chapter completed!
