Anti-Japanese heroic righteousness

"That's good!" Jiang Haoran nodded.

"There must be no problem with Zhumadian. The Eighth Route Army can defend it. I heard that they sent a whole division to support Xinyang last night. However, when they arrived outside Xinyang City, they were rejected by Bai Chongxi. Obviously, they were afraid that the Eighth Route Army would share the credit. It can also be done I can see that the Eighth Route Army would not dare to send troops outside if they don't have any confidence." Deputy Commander Zhang Dabiao continued.

"Oh, where did this news come from?" Jiang Haoran wondered, even if the Eighth Route Army went to reinforce Xinyang, this kind of thing would never appear in the party-state war report. It cannot be allowed.

"It's the latest news from our intelligence department." Zhang Dabiao said.

This is understandable. Jiang Haoran unconsciously glanced at Ye Kai, the director of the intelligence department not far away. Obviously, Ye Kai was also watching him, but when Jiang Haoran looked over, he immediately lowered his head. , Jiang Haoran understood that Ye Kai was telling himself in another way that the Eighth Route Army had already begun to implement the plan of "thousands of troops and horses blocking the Jinzhai".

Wuhan, the headquarters of the No.11 Army of the Japanese Army.

The headquarters of the No.40 Army was rejoicing, but the headquarters of the No.11 Army of the Japanese Army was in a gloomy state. They lost two cities in a row overnight, and they were crucial cities that could even be said to be the lifeline of the imperial army. A common sense division was completely annihilated by the establishment, which made Ananwei almost unacceptable. There was a feeling that the sky was falling, and he looked much older overnight. Lying on the chair of the headquarters, he looked like a A pile of mud.

"Anan-kun, give an order. The only way is to resolutely abandon Yueyang, bring back the troops of the No. 40 Division of Yueyang, join them with the remnants of the No. 13 Division, attack Xinyang with all our strength, and join forces with Mr. Okamura's No. 30 The No. 30 Sixth Division formed an absolutely superior force. Within three days, the Ping-Han Railway was re-opened. This is our only way out, otherwise the entire No. 11 Army will be in danger of being wiped out. "Chief of Staff Isamu Kinoshita spoke earnestly.

Ananwei looked at Isamu Kinoshita with bloodshot eyes, and said in a very sad tone: "Chief of Staff, do you really have no choice? Once Yueyang's No.40 division retreats, it means Wuhan The last barrier is also lost. Even if we win the battle in front of us, I am afraid that Wuhan will be in a dangerous situation all the time, and our future days will be even more difficult. Maybe in the afternoon, as soon as the Imperial Army's navy enters the East China Sea, we will be in danger. If we can fully control the air power, the situation may change. At least there is still a possibility of opening up the Yangtze River waterway. As long as the Yangtze River waterway is opened, Nanjing's reinforcements can still quickly enter Wuhan through the waterway. The war may still be reversed, but Yueyang is lost. , the troops from the Ninth War Zone of the Zhina Army will file in along this gap, and the pressure on Wuhan will become even greater."

"Cough!" Faced with Anan's stubbornness, Kinoshita Yong was a little impatient, slapped his thigh frantically, and said anxiously: "Anan Jun, you still can't see the situation clearly. Once Huangshan is lost, the Third Division in Southern Anhui You can only quickly retreat to Chizhou to garrison, otherwise you will be swallowed up by the New Fourth Army and the Hurricane Column. Once the Third Division retreats, the entire Yangtze River defense line for hundreds of miles will fall into Jiang Haoran's hands. You are still trying to get through The sweet dream of the Yangtze River waterway, wake up, Anan-kun!"

Anan Weiji's command ability is actually very average. Being able to sit on the position of the commander of the 11th Army is entirely due to the trust of the emperor. In fact, many of the No. [-] Army's decision-making strategies are entirely from the Chief of Staff Isamu Kinoshita handwriting.

Ananwei nodded in pain, and said: "Chief of Staff, issue an order, order No. 40 Division to abandon Yueyang, immediately retreat to the front line of Suizhou, and join No. 13 Division."

Seeing Anan let go, Kinoshita let out a long breath, and then personally drafted the telegram, ordering the staff to send it to the No.40 Division in Yueyang.

After Kinoshita finished his work, Anan said a few words: "Chief of Staff, Mr. Okamura is really sure that he can get through the Ping-Han Railway?"

Kinoshita hesitated a little, and said: "To be honest, Mr. Okamura has no idea. Now Jiang Haoran's national resistance war has made the situation in North China very passive. The Jinsui Army and the Eighth Route Army suddenly made trouble everywhere, pulling up railways and gun towers everywhere. It made him burnt out, but he said that opening up the Ping-Han Railway is the only way out for the No.11 Army. He will not just sit idly by and will definitely go all out. Now the No.30 Fifth Division has arrived in Xuchang and Zhumadian The No.30 Sixth Division will join them within two days. As for the Kwantung Army, the two divisions will arrive in Peiping tomorrow, and the train will transport them to Taiyuan within three days, probably in ten days We will definitely be able to reach the border of Hubei, Henan and Anhui within ten days, so as long as we can hold on for ten days, the reinforcements will arrive as scheduled, and the crisis in Wuhan can be lifted."

"Ten days?" Ananwei murmured a few times, without saying a word, his brows had already frowned into the word "Chuan". He knew how difficult these ten days would be. In five days, De'an, Jiujiang, Huangshan, and Xinyang were lost one after another. Now Yueyang has to be abandoned. The entire outer defense line of Wuhan is already riddled with holes. How difficult it is to hold on for ten days.

The only thing Anan can count on is the air force. According to the instructions of the base camp, the naval carrier-based aircraft will be able to fly to the battlefield in Wuhan this afternoon to carry out an unprecedented attack on the air force and even the ground forces of the national army. At the same time, there will be a large number of transport aircraft With the airdrop of supplies to the Wuhan battlefield, and the batch delivered by the navy from the Yangtze River two days earlier, the weapons, ammunition and supplies can be sustained, but can these divisions on the defense line stop the attack of the ninth theater troops?And Jiang Haoran, his No.40 Army is completely out of pressure now, wouldn't he take the opportunity to do something, such as from behind??????

"Mr. Muxia, it's not good. Do you think Jiang Haoran will send a group of surprise soldiers to enter from Ruichang and Yangxin, and only copy our old background." Ananwei suddenly said in surprise.

Kinoshita was taken aback, and obviously felt that this was a big flaw. Now that the entire Nanxun line is in Jiang Haoran's hands, it is not surprising that he sent a group of surprise soldiers to blitz Wuhan's defense line, and this is also in line with Jiang Haoran's consistent use of troops. After some discussions, the two finally decided to transfer one of the only two independent mixed brigades in Wuhan to defend Yangxin. Jiang Haoran's troops have just recovered Huangshan, and they haven't been mobilized so quickly. They won't implement this plan in a short time, otherwise Wuhan is really in danger.
