Invincible from the sword

Chapter 312 This is a Big Battle

Do you want to fight?

In the official residence of the old man in Shancheng, several of the most important generals expressed their views,

The final conclusion is that the fight still needs to be played.

Now the morale of their troops is very high.

And the recovery of Wuhan is a matter of time.

If you don't fight at this time, you really can't justify it.

It's not good for the old man in Shancheng's influence in the world.

So the old man Shancheng decided to fight with the Central China Dispatch Army formed again by the Japanese army.

The old man in Shancheng immediately ordered to mobilize troops from all over the country to Wuhan.

At the same time, the elite troops who had fought in Burma were also transferred there.

Since the Japanese army has deployed thirteen divisions with more than 30 troops.

Then I will form a million troops!

100 million troops, that is to say, almost fifty armies and one hundred divisions are needed.

Niang Xipi...

Fifty armies, one hundred divisions!
This kind of force is probably all the troops he can mobilize.

Now that the old man in Shancheng has made up his mind to have a battle in Wuhan, the others will also actively cooperate.

Either way, it's a big fight.

Chen Cixiu stiffened his neck, saying that he wanted to command the troops to fight.

But it is unrealistic to hand over all 100 million troops to Chen Cixiu.

100 million troops.

Chen Cixiu did not have the ability to command.

The idea of ​​the old man in Shancheng is still the same as before, to allocate troops to the fifth theater and the ninth theater.

Li Delin's fifth war zone is in charge of the north of the Yangtze River.

Chen Cixiu served as the supreme commander of the Ninth War Zone.

He is responsible for the south of the Yangtze River and Wuhan.

As for Tiger Zai, the current chief officer of the Ninth War Zone, let him be wronged and let him be the commander of a corps.

The old man Shancheng divided the ninth war zone into three parts.

They are the First Corps, the Second Corps and the Wuhan Garrison Corps.

The fifth war zone was divided into the third corps and the fourth corps, as well as more than a dozen armies directly under the theater.

The two theaters have about the same strength.

The strength of the ninth theater is 27 armies, and that of the fifth theater is 23 armies.

The combined strength of the two theaters is almost 130 million.

Unprecedented scale.

It is very difficult for so many troops to gather in Wuhan in a short period of time.

But the old man Shancheng issued a death order.

Be sure to arrive at the designated location before the Japanese attack.

Then, the old man Shancheng sent a telegram to Tiger Boy.

Let his troops advance towards Wuhan at full speed.

After recapturing Wuhan, the results of the war were rapidly expanded.

Provide conditions for the assembly of other troops.

After receiving the order from the old man in Shancheng, Tiger Boy's head buzzed and exploded.

Ten thousand alpacas roared past in my heart.

The eyes even darkened a bit.

I drop mom!
Fighting such a large-scale battle?

This put a lot of pressure on Tiger Cub.

The telegram of the old man in Shancheng said that he was asked to quickly occupy Wuhan and quickly advance around.

This is easier said than done.

Now his troops are advancing towards Wuhan at the fastest speed.

Zhang Lei's Temporary First Regiment and the Tenth Army should have reached the outskirts of Wuhan by this time.

But if you want to take back Wuhan in one fell swoop, you don't have enough troops, it's impossible.

Moreover, according to the order of the old man Shancheng, he will not be the highest officer of the ninth war zone in ten days.

Become the supreme commander of the First Corps.

This is a demotion.

Tiger Boy felt a little awkward.

Why was he demoted after winning a battle?
Who's to make sense of this?

This order from the old man in Shancheng made Hu Zai a little unhappy.

It's hard to save face.

However, in order to fight against the Japanese invaders, I don't care about him.

Chief of Staff Wu looked at Tiger Boy with no expression on his face, and thought he was not convinced.

Quickly advise.

"Mr. Xue, this is all for the sake of the overall situation of the War of Resistance, so just bear with it?

We can all see your contribution.

Believe in the old man Shancheng, he will give you a talk later. "

"Explanation?" Tiger Boy was taken aback for a moment.

Grinning and shaking his head: "Chief of Staff, I, Tiger Cub, am not such a narrow-minded person.

If it was for getting promoted and getting rich, I, Tiger Cub, would not have joined the army.

As long as I can win against the island nation, let alone a corps commander, I can be a division commander or a regiment commander.

Look at Zhang Lei, when did this kid talk about his promotion when he was fighting?

If this kid's military exploits are placed in our national army, then at least he must be a commander, right?
But the old man Shancheng has only given him the rank of lieutenant colonel until now.

On the side of the Eighth Route Army, Zhang Lei is also the commander.

Has he asked someone for an explanation?

The chief of staff, our soldiers, are responsible for defending the land during the war of resistance. If we all want to get promoted and get rich, how can we command the soldiers below? "

Chief of Staff Wu's eye sockets felt hot when he was told.

Been taught a lesson.

Zhang Lei's Temporary Regiment has advanced its troops to the Jinkou area outside Wuhan.

Just about to launch a sudden attack on Wuhan, I received a telegram from Wei Eryong.

The No.11 Japanese Army has all retreated from Wuhan.

In Wuhan now, there is not a single devil left.

Wei Eryong's Team A has searched the whole of Wuhan.

Indeed, there is not a single ghost.

The Japanese retreated?
Zhang Lei was taken aback for a moment.

It shouldn't be!

Although the No. 11 Army of the Japanese Army lost two divisions and one brigade, there are still tens of thousands of troops left.

How could it be possible to leave Wuhan so easily?

Zhang Lei was also a little surprised for a while.

Just wondering, I received a telegram from Tiger Cub.

Tell him to rush back to the Chief of the Ninth War Zone immediately.

Tiger Boy told Zhang Lei that the situation of the battle has changed a lot.

Zhang Lei didn't dare to be careless, and asked Zhao Gang to temporarily command the temporary regiment.

He himself immediately rushed to the Chief of the Ninth War Zone.

How has this situation changed?
In the Chief's Office of the Ninth War Zone, Huzai roughly told Zhang Lei about the old man's order in Shancheng.

Hearing this, Zhang Lei frowned.

The commander of the No.11 Army of the Japanese Army was actually replaced by Okamura Ningji.

Moreover, the Japanese army actually formed the Central China Dispatch Army again.

It seems that the Japanese army was caught in a hurry this time.

After talking about the general situation with Zhang Lei, Tiger Boy said to Zhang Lei: "Zhang Lei, what do you think about the upcoming battle?"

After thinking for a while, Zhang Lei said: "The purpose of the Japanese Army's formation of the Central China Expeditionary Army is very obvious.

It is to regain the initiative on the battlefield.

Now the Ninth War Zone has won the second Changsha Battle.

And forced the Japanese army to retreat from Wuhan.

This greatly affected the Japanese army's advantage in the eastern battlefield.

The purpose of occupying Wuhan, the base camp of the island country, was to seize the transportation hub on the one hand.

On the other hand, it is to threaten the mountain city.

Now our troops have advanced to Wuhan.

This is unacceptable to the Japanese army.

Therefore, the Japanese army will definitely attack Wuhan again next time.

This is why the Japanese army reorganized the Central China Expeditionary Army.

But the current situation is that Guangzhou has fallen into the hands of the Japanese army.

If you want to defend Wuhan, it will be more difficult.

But that doesn't mean it's impossible.

However, the casualties will be relatively large.

Moreover, the 100 million troops assembled in Wuhan belong to the command of two theaters.

This will bring a lot of trouble to the cooperation between the troops.

Such a big battle, if we can't cooperate well.

It is very easy to go wrong. "

Tiger Cub nodded.

Zhang Lei was right.

He is also thinking about this issue.

In many cases, it is not that the more troops, the greater the chance of winning.

Whether they can command so many troops well is the most important thing.

For now, the old man Shancheng is going to let Chen Cixiu command 27 armies.

There are less than 70 troops.

This is a huge test for Chen Cixiu.

Although Chen Cixiu's command ability is not bad, Tiger Boy is not optimistic.

Moreover, this time the Japanese army suffered such a big loss in the hands of the Ninth War Zone, Okamura Ningji must adjust his tactics.

It is hard to judge how this battle will be fought next.

Tiger Cub himself was a little worried.

According to the old man Shancheng's order, the troops he will command next will be reduced to ten armies.

Such a force is nothing to him, Tiger Cub.

And the old man in Shancheng is not bad, he kept the Tenth Army and the No.70 Fourth Army in the First Corps.

In this case, the foundation of the ninth war zone is still in his hands.

At that time, even if he fights with the Japanese army, he will still be able to command very smoothly.

The biggest problem now is that both theaters will participate in this war.

This is more difficult.

Li Delin and Chen Cixiu are both very independent people.

These two people get together, who will listen to when the time comes?

Moreover, the Japanese army reorganized the Central China Dispatch Army, and sent the bastard Shunroku Hata over.

This Hata Junliu is not easy to deal with.

In addition, the strength of the Japanese Second Army should not be underestimated.

The commander of the Second Army of the Japanese Army, King Yanyan, was not bad at military command.

In addition, it is the royal family of the island country.

So it is obvious that the island country attaches great importance to this operation.

Tiger Boy: "Zhang Lei, what's your opinion on the specific fighting methods of the Japanese army?
This time the Japanese army assembled so many troops, I have no idea how to fight. "

Zhang Lei asked Chief of Staff Wu to bring a map of Hubei.

Pointing to the map, he said to Tiger Boy, "Hata Shunroku is now the Minister of War of the island country, and he is only serving as the Japanese Army's Central China Dispatch Army.

The specific command power is still in the hands of Neiji Okamura and King Nianhiko.

I guess, at most, Hata Shunroku just came over to show his face.

The rest are mainly Okamura and King Nianhiko.

In this case, it is more beneficial for us to fight the Japanese army.

We are familiar with Okamura.

As far as I know, this King Yan Yan, although his command ability is not bad.

But very conceited.

And because he is the dry uncle of Goutian Locust, he doesn't take people like Okamura seriously.

In this case, it is possible for us to defeat the Japanese Central China Expeditionary Army. "
