Tongcheng's victory was soon exaggerated onto newspapers and radio stations. In the current difficult situation in China, Tongcheng stood tall like a single streak. Although Chairman Jiang knew that Wang Mingyu was disappointed, he was very happy that Hu Zongnan's plan had just begun to become a shadow. However, Chairman Jiang is pleased that the 318th Army is not a solid piece of iron.

Of course, this is just Chairman Jiang's idea alone. In fact, Chairman Jiang lost the game this time. A major general and a lieutenant general sent it out without blinking. He almost didn't get anything. But at the same time, Chairman Jiang must feel that he was not losing. Tongcheng's victory means that his political capital is constantly increasing and his influence is constantly increasing.

Chairman Jiang couldn't help but make such a voice when he saw the battle report from Tongcheng: the example of the pillars of the country and the soul of the people. Such an evaluation can be said to be the highest praise for the 318th Army and Wang Mingyu. As long as the battle in Wuhan is achieved, Chairman Jiang is willing to give more things to the 318th Army. After all, this is still his own army.

Although the 318th Army has never been fully controlled by Chairman Jiang, for Chairman Jiang, his efforts in the 318th Army are much smaller than the gains. It's like investing alone, you have already made money. The reason for directly letting the money you earn be changed into shares is the same. This is the same thing. It's a matter of making a steady profit without losing money. What else can Chairman Jiang say?

Chairman Jiang's tolerance for the 318th Army was precisely because of their great contributions to him. Chairman Jiang could not imagine what kind of situation he would be like if the 318th Army had not performed, and he was in a mess. Is this still a national leader supposed to be able to do?

But now it is different to go west. They have successfully eliminated so many invaders. Now they can be called strategic transfer, rather than fleeing in a hurry. The news of Tongcheng is usually written directly by the National Government to tell the people that this may be the only channel of information at present.

Although there are still many reporters in Tongcheng now, they cannot get the battle reports on the front line. Now they look like war correspondents, but they absolutely cannot go deep into the front line to interview. Wang Mingyu is strict with the few who are controlling this aspect. Military is military. These reporters' reports are likely to be analyzed by the Japanese intelligence personnel.

This time, the Japanese army was stunned. At this moment, Hata Shunruo had never lost his composure as he did today. His anger came from the information of the Japanese special high school class Wang Mingyu died or was seriously injured. If this is true, he could appear in the command center of Tongcheng in a few days and personally direct the battle.

If this is a joke, Hata Shunji would think it's a bit funny, but a pity. This is not a joke. This is what happened. Hata Shunji has really thoughts of slandering these intelligence personnel.

Haga Baga Shinjiki held his commander's knife in both hands and slashed at the knife holder, as if venting his dissatisfaction in his heart.

General, calm down now is not the time for us to be angry. Since there has been a mistake in our intelligence, should we continue to attack Tongcheng in just eight days, we have been killed and injured. The base camp of the 30,000 horse empire has raised strong doubts. The Chief of Staff said in a low voice, obviously he dare not get into trouble.

Humph, they gave me so much money to the so-called intelligence personnel. They gave me this information. It was also said that it was a top secret from the Chinese military government. This is the so-called top secret. This time, they have to be responsible for the special high school class and bear all the responsibility. Hata Shunji said almost roaringly, and the beard on his lips was trembling.

According to the war report, the north gate of Tongcheng has opened all joints and faced the Chinese army's gate directly. But the problem now is that once the city is siege, our losses will be countless chiefs of staff who continue to surround Tongcheng. He is also worried that once the troops are exhausted, they will end up.

After Hata Shunruo raised his sword high, he fell down gently and sighed: Actually, according to my opinion, we will continue to attack, but I think if we continue to attack, our losses will be great. Moreover, the Chinese army in Tongcheng can defend or retreat to the mountains. We want to wipe out them unless they defend and do not retreat.

The General's meaning is that the Chief of Staff felt some changes vaguely, but he could not grasp the key, so he had to ask Hata Shunji.

I mean, we must attack when attacking, but just as the commander of Itagaki Seishiro Division has done now, in order to reduce losses, we only attack the North City Gate, and other city gates are feinted, but our breakthrough point does not feel that we can't be consumed in Kirigaki. The eyes of Hata Shunrok's eyes flashed and they were obviously planning something

The main battlefield of our Central China Front Army is on the Eastern Front. Although the attack across the Yangtze River and the southern front is relatively smooth, it is still very difficult to fight to Wuhan. The Chinese Army's defense is quite strong. If it is on land, maybe we still have a chance to think about it and put forward our own point of view.

No, Okamura's 10th Army at this time, the breakthrough we needed at the time Hata Shinji Hata said confidently: We put too much energy into Tongcheng, which means we were wasting a lot of opportunities. In fact, if we insisted on taking Wuhan from the beginning, maybe we would have won the battle of Wuhan long ago, but now we want to eliminate the 318th Army, so

I understand what the general meant. Now, should you let General Tsouichi Teraunuchi concentrate his troops and start attacking from the northern line, and strive for the shortest time to break through the defense line. Finally, you formed an encirclement force against the 318th Army. The Chief of Staff asked, obviously you had thought about this method before.

Yes, but I think the possibility of us encircling the 318th Army is not very high. If their troops want to completely wipe out, it is almost impossible. Now our goal has deviated from the track. The goal we set is wrong. At this moment, Shinroku Hata finally admitted a fact, that is, the plan to completely wipe out the 318th Army is really unrealistic.

Then I can only ask General Suichi Teraenuchi to cooperate with you. The Chief of Staff also sighed. As the commander of the front army, Hata Shunruo has asked for help more than once. Now there are still some cards that Suichi Teraenuchi can play, but there are not many cards that the front army in the Central China

Hata Shunji's original idea was to eliminate the 318th Army and win the victory of the Wuhan Battle. Every Japanese commander is probably in the position of Hata Shunji. But thinking and doing are different things after all. It seems almost impossible to completely eliminate the 318th Army now. Hata Shunji has already realized this.

In fact, the purpose of the Battle of Wuhan is to compress the Chinese army as much as possible. The Japanese army occupied the big cities as soon as possible and achieved a strategic victory. However, the Japanese army had a good idea, but they themselves did not consider their national strength and number of soldiers. However, they have been greatly hindered now. It can be said that it is another miserable victory after the Battle of Songhu.

Of course, their Wuhan Battle has not yet won. However, although Tongcheng's defense is strong, it will be a matter of time before they can win. There is only one side of the Wuhan Battle, which is defended by Wang Mingyu. The other two sides are very dangerous. Now Xue Yue's regiment is a little overwhelmed. If the Japanese army continues to increase its troops, the defense of the northern line will collapse.

In fact, Wang Mingyu's contributions are quite good in order to maintain public order, the Japanese army's troops were too scattered. However, if they temporarily gave up some areas and besieged Xue Yue's corps on the Northern Line, they probably wouldn't have much time to support Xue Yue. Wang Mingyu has solved at least two divisions for Xue Yue.

The two divisions that originally attacked Xue Yue were transferred to Tongcheng, and the 101st Division led by Okamura Yasuji also lost its troops for about one brigade. This is why Xue Yue is now at ease in defense. It can be said that if Wang Mingyu had not been able to do so, the Japanese army would have been rampant in Hubei.

Hata Shunji had no choice but to use another route to break through Wuhan, but Okamura Yasuji, who was on the North Line, was also very sad. His troops were really stretched now. If he didn't send troops to support him, their battle with the Chinese army would definitely not be over for a few months.

Even if the North China Front Army Lord Soichi Sakachi sent troops to reinforce, it would take at least one month to break the defense of the northern line to break through. What the Japanese army is anxious about is that they have no hard battle and the losses are extremely heavy. How could they bear such a situation? Not only can Okamura Yasuji, but now the Japanese base camp cannot bear it.

The Japanese base camp is now considering the candidate to replace Hata Shunji, but if the general manager changes now, they may only consider the unstable morale of the army. They still have to look at the situation of the battle in Wuhan. If Hata Shunji really eliminates the 318th Army, the base camp will not blame Hata Shunji, but may reward Hata Shunji.
