On January 20, 1942, Yuelu Mountain, Changsha, the Operation Room of the 9th War Zone Chief Command.

The commander-in-chief of the 9th War Zone, the commander-in-chief of the 9th War Zone, the commander-in-chief of Yang Sen, Wang Lingji, the commander-in-chief of the 10th Army, the commander-in-chief of the 3rd Division, the commander-in-chief of the 190th Division, the commander-in-chief of the 10th Division, and other senior national generals were holding a meeting at this time.

A month ago, the Japanese army began to deploy troops to increase troops in Jiangxi, and made an attack on the rear of the Kuomintang-controlled area with a "black tiger heart-wrenching" attack.

After receiving relevant information, the Chairman attached great importance to it and held many high-level military special meetings, doing his best to enhance the strength of the 9th War Zone. Half a month ago, the Chairman also personally visited Changsha front line for inspection and supervise the war.

Currently, the 31st Army composed of the 5th Army and the 71st Army, the 32nd Army composed of the 6th Army and the 66th Army, and the 22nd Army, the 31st Army have entered Guangxi.

This elite mechanized unit is moving from Guilin and Hezhou toward Yongzhou in Hunan, and Chenzhou is approaching quickly to guard the right wing of Changsha.

Yang Fan also sent a mechanized unit of 100,000 troops to cross the Yellow River and enter southern Anhui. Then he detoured through Shaanxi, Sichuan, and Hubei all the way south to Hunan to participate in the war.

If the 1st, 19th, 27th and 30th armies originally under the 9th War Zone were added, the total force of the 9th War Zone reached 660,000 in one fell swoop.

More than half of the troops are mechanized troops with pure American equipment, and the 9th War Zone can be said to be unprecedentedly powerful.

However, the development of the situation still exceeded the expectations of the Chairman and others. In just one month, the 11th Army of the Japanese army was crazy and increased its troops to 18 divisions and 5 independent mixed brigades, with a total force exceeding 500,000!

In addition, the Japanese army also concentrated thousands of tank battlefields, thousands of combat aircraft, and a large number of Hanoi ships attacked from the Dongting Lake waterway.

This astronomical figure not only made Xue Boling take a breath, but also made the Chairman and other senior central military and political officials numb and felt a strong sense of chill!

Damn it, this is not the Battle of Changsha, nor is it Anan Weiji wanting to celebrate the Spring Festival in Changsha. It is entirely because the Japanese government wants to fight a battle to destroy the country against the National Government!

Thanks to the previous chairman's special attention to this Changsha Battle. Not only did he withdraw all the more than 200,000 Myanmar Expeditionary Forces from the National Army to the country to participate in the war, he also actively sought help from Yang Fan and made sufficient preparations.

660,000 to 500,000, whether in terms of troops or weapons and equipment, the Chinese army is not at a disadvantage. Judging from the data, the Chinese army is still firmly in the upper hand and has the strength to fight the Japanese army head-on.

But even so, the chairman and a group of military and political officials still do not have enough confidence to win this war. After all, the main Japanese troops on the opposite side are brave and good at fighting, with excellent weapons.

Such a comparison of troops is due to the huge military pressure on the Japanese army in Shandong, which completely restrained the huge combat cluster of millions of Japanese troops.

Moreover, in Myanmar, the Huber Myanmar Expeditionary Force also forced Okamura Yanji's million-dollar Myanmar Expeditionary Force.

Otherwise, the National Government would not face a 500,000 elite Japanese troops, but a super heavy army cluster of at least 2 million!

In that case, this number alone would probably make the Chairman and others lose confidence, and even be scared to death before the war started!

"Sir Xue, I have an objection! Why do we let our 10th Division be the reserve team? But the newly transferred Kong Hepang Division has to defend the southern suburbs of Changsha?"

After hearing Xue Boling's arrangements and deployments for the 10th Army, Fang Xianjue immediately opposed it firmly: "Can the foreign monks recite scriptures? With the combat effectiveness of their troops, can they defend the southern suburbs of Changsha? What a joke!"

"Teacher Fang, why did you talk to Chief Xue?"

Li Yutang, the commander of the 10th Army, glared at Fang Xianjue and said with a dark face: "This deployment was a decision made by our military headquarters and Chief Xue after careful consideration, and it was not a hasty decision to slap your forehead."

During the Second Battle of Changsha, Li Yutang was ordered to lead the 10th Army to march from Zhuzhou Lukou to march northward to fight the blocking war.

However, because the telegram code of the 9th War Zone was deciphered by the Japanese army, they encountered a Japanese ambush on the front line of Jinjing and Fulinpu, which led to the Central Army's direct ace force not only failing to complete the task, but instead paying a heavy price.

In a rage, the Chairman removed him from his position as Army Commander.

This time, the Japanese army gathered heavy troops to launch a large-scale attack, and the chairman ordered Li Yutang to continue commanding the 10th Army.

So from a certain perspective, Li Yutang took on the important task of defending Changsha with guilt.

In the Second Battle of Changsha, Li Yutang suffered a big fall, was criticized by his superiors for "ineffective combat" and revoked his post. In his professional military career, he could be said to have suffered a great humiliation.

At this moment when he didn't know how to get out of the trough of his life, Chief Xue loved him very much, and not only asked the Military Commission for approval, but also temporarily left him as the commander of the 10th Army, but also handed him over the most critical task of defending Changsha in the "Tianlu Tactics".

While Li Yutang was surprised, he was naturally grateful to Xue Boling.

Although he was so excited that he couldn't sleep all night after accepting the task, as a strong man, Li Yutang would not put his gratitude on his lips.

What he wants to do most now is to firmly permeate Chief Xue’s orders, and to win this battle in Changsha no matter what, and use the Japanese’s heads to clear the shame!

The purpose of letting the 10th Division, which performed extremely poorly in the last battle, defended the Yangtze River Chengxiang area and also served as a reserve force. The purpose is to allow this unit to wait for an opportunity to move.

Let them play a greater finale role at the most critical moment!

But definitely not. Li Yutang has some selfish intentions, or he is worried about the 10th Division and looks down on them!

On the contrary, the 10th Division is actually an elite force that can fight hard.

The reason why the last battle was bad was that the soldiers did not work hard, but that the intelligence system made a mistake and sent an ace army into the encirclement of several Japanese divisions.

How can such a battle be invincible?

Until now, no one from the 10th Army has been convinced of this great defeat!

"Martial throne, I am a rough man and I can't turn a corner when speaking! But I must emphasize that our 10th Division must be in the first battle, and we will never be a reserve team!"
Chapter completed!
