Zhang Deneng was stunned when he heard the commander say that he wanted his troops to go down. He had never thought about it now. If his troops went down, the 90th Division's troops would not be able to defend at all. It would be even more difficult to fight later. The Japanese troops would definitely increase their attacks, but the Japanese did not have much time. =

"Teacher Commander, we can still fight and guard a position." Zhang Deneng said to his army commander.

"I know, you go down and rest first. My guard regiment and another regiment will take over your defense later. Your troops will go down first. If support is needed here, I will give you an order!" Ou Zhen said to Zhang Deneng.

"Yes!" Zhang Deneng nodded without any help. At this time, Chen Rongji, the commander of the 90th Division, also arrived here.

"Military, why are you here?" Chen Rongji looked at Ou Zhen and asked.

"Let me see, how are your division casualties now?" Ou Zhen looked at Chen Rongji and said.

"The casualties are very serious. In half a day, my army sacrificed 2,832 people and seriously injured 2,178 people. There are still about 10,000 combat troops left. The Japanese have very strong combat power. If they had not occupied the favorable terrain, the casualties might have been greater!" Chen Rongji heard it, lowered his head and said.

"It's from Male Gobi!" Ou Zhen heard it and cursed again.

"Standard, when will our reinforcements arrive and what are the troops pursuing behind us? If we continue to consume this, we will not be able to hold on tomorrow afternoon." Chen Rongji raised his head and looked at Ou Zhen and said.

"Ye Zhao's troops from the 66th Army will come back tomorrow at noon!" Ou Zhen said.

"Okay. There is probably no problem tomorrow!" Chen Rongji said.

"The key now is not the Japanese here, but the Japanese from Xiushui. They are all fully organized divisions, with more than 30,000 people attacking your 64th Army's position. Now there are less than 10,000 people left on the 64th Army.

Their army has more than 50,000 troops in three divisions, and now there are about 10,000 troops left. Now the troops of the 70th Army have passed. The Japanese mobilized another division troops from Nanchang. Damn, the battle is getting bigger and bigger." Ou Zhen said.

"Commander, if we can kill these divisions, then almost all the Japanese in Jiangxi have come out, and we may attack the Japanese in Jiangxi at that time." Zhang Deneng said.

"The commander is planning to do this. He plans to mobilize three troops to come over again, kill the Japanese here, and then attack and recover Jiangxi." Ou Zhen said with a smile.

"Okay, that's great!" Chen Rongji and Ou Zhen nodded and said.

At this time, Commander Jiang was also listening to Li Zongren's analysis of the combat situation at this time. "The 70th Army's troops have already gone up. According to the situation reported by the 64th Army, the Japanese reinforcements were about 10,000 casualties, that is to say, with the division coming from Nanchang,

Now there are more than 50,000 Japanese soldiers in the east of Pingjiang, and Xue Yue is preparing to mobilize three troops, a total of 150,000 people to meet the enemy. If Hu Bin and Wei Lihuang's troops can quickly reach Pingjiang, then Xue Yue's troops will take the initiative to attack, kill the Japanese troops coming to reinforce, and at the same time start a battle to recover Jiangxi." Li Zongren said to Commander Jiang.

"Okay, very good, I didn't expect that Hu Bin could recover two provinces this time. It's good, very good!" Jiang Tongshuai nodded with satisfaction when he heard this.

"The most important thing is that Hu Bin can't go out in the future. If we control Jiujiang, Hu Bin's troops will be locked in Hubei!" He Yingqin said.

"Yeah!" Commander Jiang nodded, and the others didn't know what he meant.

"What's the use of locking up in Wuhan? Wei Lihuang's troops will give in to me at any time!" Jiang Dingwen said from the side. The other generals heard it, pretending not to hear it.

Commander Jiang didn't say anything when he heard this. He couldn't express his opinion yet, but he knew that Jiang Dingwen wanted to control Henan!

However, Henan's location is critical. Pinghan Railway is an important transportation line. If it is controlled by the Japanese, their troops can go south to attack Wuhan at any time. He must consider this matter. When Wei Lihuang was in Henan, the line was well controlled, but now the number of people has been replaced. Commander Jiang didn't know if they could control it well. Therefore, he was also hesitating whether to change Wei Lihuang.

"Commander, there is another thing. I hope you can send a telegram to Commander Wei and Hu Bin. If Anan Weiji's troops are destroyed, can you continue to advance eastward? Cooperate with Xue Yue's troops to attack Jiangxi!" Li Zongren said to the commander.

"Okay, after they attacked, I will issue combat orders to them." Commander Jiang nodded and said. Li Zongren heard it and nodded.

"Okay, you all go down, Li Zongren, He Yingqin, Chen Cheng, you three stayed!" Jiang Tongshuai stood there and thought for a while, and said to the other generals.

Soon, there were four of them left in the conference room.

"Tell me, how should Wei Lihuang arrange it? Do you really need to be transferred to the General Staff?" Jiang Tongshuai said to them. Li Zongren and the other three heard it and looked at each other.

"I want to listen to the truth. Let's put aside the conflicts between you in person!" Jiang Tongshuai looked at them and asked.

"If you want to transfer, he is very close to Yan'an, which is not safe." He Yingqin said. When Commander Jiang heard this, he nodded and looked at Chen Cheng.

"I think, should we listen to Commander Wei's explanation, why did he do this? It's better to be cautious. Commander Wei's contribution to defending Henan, and he also made great contributions to this battle to regain Wuhan. If he was transferred back inexplicably, I'm afraid he would have any objections." Chen Cheng said more pertinently.

"I object! I don't agree to replace the commander of the Wei. The Pinghan Railway is of great importance. Commander of the Wei is guarding Henan and controlling Wuhan at the same time is very helpful to Wuhan. If Xue Yue conquers Jiujiang this time, then the position of Wuhan will be even more critical and cannot be misunderstood.

It’s not that I don’t believe in the abilities of other generals, but now changing the generals may make the defenders of the entire Henan side have any objections. Moreover, if the Japanese raided Henan a year later, I don’t know if other people can defend it, but I know that Wei Lihuang can defend it, because even if he can’t defend it, he will ask Hu Bin for help. Hu Bin will definitely send troops to help Wei Lihuang fight." Li Zongren said, he disagreed with Wei Lihuang’s transfer, which poses a relatively high risk to the situation in Henan and central China.

"I don't think that other generals can't defend this. They all have a lot of command experience. In addition, Hu Bin can sell weapons to us now, and then the combat effectiveness of Henan troops will be stronger!" He Yingqin said.

"If it were Jiang Dingwen and Liu Zhi, would Hu Bin still sell weapons to them? Don't Hu Bin know that the two of them had a big conflict with him and he was not stupid. Look, Jiang Dingwen has got a weapon of Hu Bin now? Look at Wei Lihuang's troops, which are the troops equipped with the most new weapons. Can't they see it here?" Li Zongren looked at He Yingqin and asked back.

"What if Commander Wei has the idea of ​​being inclined to Yan'an, would you dare to take this risk?" He Yingqin said to Li Zongren.

"Dare, I believe in Commander Wei's character, and I also believe that Commander Wei is loyal to the commander and to our party!" Li Zongren said.

"There is no doubt about this. Huishan (Wei Lihuang's word) will not betray the party. I am sure of this. I am worried that Yan'an will use his kindness to Yan'an to make him go further and further, so I transferred him back.

However, if I transfer him back, I won’t let him be by my side for too long. When the opportunity is right, I will still let him go. I still know and trust Huishan’s ability to fight wars.” Jiang Tongshun said immediately.

"So, I don't agree with the transfer of Commander of Guard back. This is very risky. The Japanese don't have many troops in China now. But, Commander, don't forget that the Japanese have more than 1 million troops outside the pass. Once they go south to Peiping, Commander, think about it, can Henan still be defended?" Li Zongren looked at the Commander and persuaded again.

"Well, this issue needs to be considered." Jiang Tongshuai nodded when he heard Li Zongren say this, but he had already squeezed out Liu Zhi and Jiang Dingwen in his heart. They could not take over Henan's defense, so they could only choose a new person. However, Wei Lihuang must be transferred back and cannot be placed in Henan!

However, Wei Lihuang now has no idea. The commander is still discussing his stay or not. He is now standing in the command center with Hu Bin, watching Hu Bin's troops attack the second line of defense of the Japanese, tank troops attacking the vanguards, infantry fighting in concert, and at the same time, the artillery troops launched artillery bombardment at the mountain.

"According to your fighting style, the Japanese will not last long. I have to say that your troops' firepower and combat capabilities are much stronger than mine!" Wei Lihuang said to Hu Bin.

Hu Bin heard this and smiled and said, "It's almost impossible now. In this battle, my troops suffered too much casualties, and all had more than 100,000 casualties. Now these soldiers are all soldiers of the reserve troops!"

"Well, I can see that these soldiers are not skilled in cooperating and combat, but there are also many veterans, and under their leadership, there is no problem." Wei Lihuang looked at the front and said.

"It's all up to those veterans!" Hu Bin nodded and said.

"Boom, boom, boom!" At this time, the artillery bombardment in front continued, and the tank troops also fired in places where the Japanese had heavy machine guns, and shot them straight to bombard the heavy firepower of the Japanese. (To be continued.)
