Fantasy Anti-Japanese

Chapter 96 Military Conference
Wuhan Temporary Council Hall, at this time, is General Xingruyun, with Chief of Staff He Yingqin on the left, Li Zongren, Commander of the Fifth War Zone, Yan Xishan, Commander of the Second War Zone, Sun Lianzhong, Commander of the Second Army, Zhang Fakui, Commander of the Eighth Army, No.20 Xu Yuanquan, commander of the Sixth Army, and Yang Sen, commander of the No.20 Seventh Army.On the right are Bai Chongxi, deputy commander-in-chief, and Chen Cheng, commander-in-chief of the Wuhan Garrison and commander-in-chief of the Ninth Theater.Gu Zhutong, Commander of the Third Theater, Cheng Qian, Commander of the First Theater, Jiang Dingwen, Director of the Xi'an Camp, and Tang Enbo, Commander of the No.20 Group Army.They all sat upright, breathed very thinly, and looked very serious. They were listening to the lesson of President Jiang sitting in the middle.

The war is in full swing, but the situation is getting worse and worse. In desperation, President Jiang can only take the risk of airlifting the military chiefs from these theaters to Wuhan to discuss countermeasures.President Jiang said sadly: "Northeast is lost, North China is lost, Shanghai is lost, Nanjing is lost, Anqing is lost, and now even Madang is lost. May I ask you, what else can we lose now? Madang, Three months? It was lost in less than three days, what a shame! How much money did our country spend to build this fortress? It was lost so easily, everyone, are you sorry for our Republic of China and Mr. Sun? huh? Mother Hippie"

He scolded for a while, then said: "Jiansheng, tell me about the current situation." He nodded to the vice president beside him, Bai Chongxi.Bai Chongxi stood up and said: "Yes." He quickly walked to the large map next to him, pointed and said: "In the northwest, the Japanese army's offensive pace has slowed down, and their strength has run out. In a state of stalemate, the focus of the current war has been concentrated on the front line of Wuhan. The Japanese are determined to take our Wuhan, and they are concentrating heavy troops to gather from the north and east to Wuhan. The loss of the Madang Fortress, the Yangtze River waterway has been destroyed. Unobstructed, this made our army fall into a passive state. Now the 106rd Division of the Japanese Army and the 101th and 3st Divisions are attacking northern Jiangxi. The main force of the 3rd Division has reached Madang. Redeem! But the first brigade of the [-]rd Division of the Japanese Army did not stop at Madang, and was rushing straight to Pengze without stopping. If Pengze is not protected, Hukou will fall, and Jiujiang will not be saved. If Jiujiang is lost, the Japanese army will attack Nanxun line. De’an is the first to bear the brunt, and Ruichang must be attacked to the west. At that time, without the obstruction of the Madang Fortress, the Japanese warships will inevitably go straight in, and Ruichang will not be able to defend at all!” Bai Jiansheng talked eloquently, he Known as little Zhuge, he sees the situation very clearly.After some analysis, most of the generals are unable to refute.Even President Jiang thinks so.

He Yingqin, Minister of Military and Political Affairs, said: "Jiansheng, Pengze and Hukou have our 16th Army and 64th Army. They should be able to stop the Japanese army for more than a month, right? The Japanese army can invest at most two divisions, and our army has the upper hand." , and occupies an advantageous area. As long as we can stop their offensive for a month, our army can mobilize superior forces to severely damage Gangcun Ningci." He said while looking at Chen Cheng, the commander of the Ninth War Zone who was sitting across from him.

Chen Cheng, however, had difficulty speaking, he lowered his head and dared not speak out.Ma Dang fell, although the culprit Li Yunheng was dismissed and investigated, and the person involved Xue Weiying was shot, but he really couldn't escape the guilt.It's not that he didn't order a counterattack to Madang, but in the end, the fortress became the best fortification of the Japanese army. Not only did he not take it back, but he caused heavy losses to his 16th Army and 49th Army, and more than two divisions were lost.As the main force of the Japanese army arrived, they had no choice but to retreat.Under the indiscriminate bombing of Japanese aircraft, most of Peng Ze's permanent fortifications have become a pile of wasteland. What can be used to defend it?He had no confidence at all in sticking to Peng Ze.If Peng Ze is lost and there is no solid screen at the mouth of the lake, it will certainly not be able to resist the footsteps of the Japanese army.If Hukou is lost again, Jiujiang will not be able to withstand the Japanese army's land and water attacks.This result is also very clear in his heart.But now his main force is defending Wuhan, and only Zhang Fakui's Eighth Army remains intact at the frontline of Jiujiang, but their combat effectiveness is something even Chen Cheng himself can't count on. What are we going to do to stop the Japanese now?He is really depressed.

However, Li Zongren sighed and said: "Since Ma Dang is lost, Pengze and Hukou will never be able to keep it. When the Japanese army clears the barriers of Ma Dang's river defense, the Japanese ships will inevitably enter directly, and this Jiujiang cannot be defended. Therefore, we must stop the Japanese army. , I suggest that it should be placed on this line." He walked out of his seat quickly, picked up the long pole in Bai Chongxi's hand, pointed to the section from Ruichang to Wuning, and said: "This area has many mountains and uneven ground, which is not suitable for the Japanese army. Combat mechanized troops are enough to offset the Japanese army's weapon advantage over our army." He pointed to another place and said: "This is the key to our army! Only by firmly defending this fortress, the Japanese warships will not be able to threaten Wuhan." The place he pointed to was clearly marked with three big characters "Tianjia Town".The Fuchikou Fortress opposite Tianjia Town is another fortress on the Yangtze River next to Madang, and it is also the last waterway barrier in Wuhan.

President Jiang nodded and said: "This Tianjia Town will never be lost." He nodded to Li Zongren to indicate to continue.Li Zongren continued: "As long as Tianjia Town and Fuchikou Fortress are defended, and the Japanese warships are firmly blocked on the Jiujiang line, then the enemy to the east of Wuhan will not be able to threaten Wuhan." After he finished speaking, he handed the baton back to Bai Chongxi, He returned to his seat.

Bai Chongxi said: "The importance of Tianjia Town to our army is unquestionable. But it is impossible for the Japanese to attack Wuhan from one side only. Once the western front is blocked, the Japanese army will inevitably divide their troops." He clicked on the position of the Nanxun line on the map. Click to go, and said: "The Japanese army wants to ensure the safety of the southern wing, and they must attack Nanchang. To attack Nanchang, the Nanxun line is the most convenient way, and De'an is the most important thing. As long as De'an is defended, Nanchang will be safe." It’s guaranteed not to be lost!”

President Jiang said with a serious expression: "Xue Yue's First Corps is defending the Nanxun Line. He is under great pressure, but I trust him." Bai Chongxi said: "So in this battle, we should focus on Tianjia Town in the south of the Yangtze River. Stop the Japanese army in an orderly manner, and at the same time use the mountainous and dangerous environment in northern Jiangxi to organically kill the Japanese army! Resolutely block the Japanese army at the outskirts of Wuhan."

As soon as his words fell, President Jiang took the lead in applauding gently, and the rest of the generals were also impressed by Bai Chongxi's analysis, and applauded accordingly.

Bai Chongxi had no color on his face, and his expression was still serious. After the applause stopped, he said: "I have 40 heavy troops in the south of the Yangtze River. As long as the soldiers work hard, it is entirely possible to stop the Japanese army in Jiangxi. But the Yangtze River The situation in the north is not optimistic. Tongcheng and Qianshan have fallen, and our army has been compressed to the front line of Taihu Lake, Wangjiang, and Susong. The situation is difficult. The Sixth Division's offensive was extremely fierce, but it suddenly stopped its eastward offense five days ago In the footsteps of the Niu Dao brigade, the entire division of the Niudao Brigade went south. According to reports, a regiment of the Sakai Detachment also suddenly went south from Qianshan two days ago. The target was Anqing, and the regiment had suffered heavy losses. Even the detachment leader Sakai Tokutaro has since disappeared. This is great news for our army. In connection with the incident that the Japanese warship in Anqing was bombarded by artillery a few days ago, it can also explain that Sakai Tokutaro Taro’s motivation for going south. We can fully judge that the Botian detachment in Anqing will inevitably suffer a major blow, and even the ability to defend is not ready. But what is puzzling is that our army does not have any organizational system in the Anqing area. Who did this? We must know that it is impossible to wipe out a regiment of Japanese troops without more than one army.” He looked at President Jiang while he was talking, wondering if it was him Are there still heavy soldiers lying there?
President Jiang naturally understood Bai Chongxi's meaning, his expression was still serious, and he said: "Jiansheng, I am also at a loss about the situation in Anqing. I thought it was a surprise soldier left by Commander Yang Sen before he retreated, but after repeated checks, there was nothing Conclusion. By the way." He took out a piece of paper from his pocket, handed it to Bai Chongxi and said, "Jiansheng, this is a telegram from Europe this morning, please read it to everyone."

Bai Chongxi took it over, glanced at it quickly, his face was full of astonishment, he slowly finished reading the telegram, and said pleasantly: "Great! It seems that Anqing is getting more and more interesting, and this strange army is getting more and more quiet." Da Luo." Chen Cheng was puzzled and said: "Three Japanese warships sank, Akiyama Yoshiyoshi of the Ninth Division and a whole regiment were wiped out. Could this be a smoke bomb released by the Japanese?"

President Jiang said slowly: "This is the news reported by the British tabloids. It may not be true, but the information will be verified within three days." He has issued a death order to Dai Li, and he believes that he will be able to handle the matter well. Yes.

Li Zongren pondered for a while, then suddenly said: "President, I think this news may be true." President Jiang said oh, and asked: "Brother Delin, what do you think about this?" The Sakai detachment went south to support, and was destroyed again. Then the Japanese must ensure that Anqing will not be lost, and they will inevitably send reinforcements. It is imperative to send both land and water. This can explain why the Japanese army suddenly stopped the east. The Niu Dao Brigade of the Sixth Division turned around and headed south recklessly. Anqing must be in a tight spot. The destruction of a regiment of the Sixth Brigade can only be explained by the fact that Anqing has been conquered by me, and I can use the artillery in the city Attacked the Japanese ship and wiped out the wing of the Sixth Brigade!" He boldly assumed.

Bai Chongxi also echoed: "Mr. De's assumption does exist. Only in this way can the information obtained a few days ago be explained."

Yan Xishan said with a smile: "Three ships were sunk, two ships were damaged, and two regiments were destroyed. That's not all. I'm afraid the Potian detachment won't be much better. Such a record is really frightening. It's hardly below Taierzhuang. Delin, could it be your big hand again?"

Li Zongren smiled wryly and said: "If it is really ours, this is really a blessing for the party and the country. But there is no trace of the origin of this amazing soldier." Tang Enbo interjected: "Could it be the Yan'an side?" Li Zongren said: "To wipe out The Japanese army is a unit, and now they don't have the strength at all, it is absolutely impossible."

President Jiang waved his hand and said: "There will be a result in three days, we will not discuss it for now. Jiansheng, you continue."

Bai Chongxi said: "Yes." Then he picked up his baton and said: "At present, the situation of our army in Anhui, north of the Yangtze River, seems to be good. The Japanese troops in Qianshan are empty. , and also defeated Bao Changyi's Marine Corps halfway. Judging from the target, it is still Anqing. At present, there are only a small number of Japanese troops defending Qianshan, and Li Pinxian's corps is in place. According to the information, more than 47 people of the Japanese Second Army have been dispatched from the Hefei Division. The 9th Division and the 10th Division rushed to Anqing along the Anhe Highway, but the 13th and 16th Divisions succeeded the Sixth Division and continued to attack our army. The Lu'an, Huoshan, and Qianshan positions. The intention of the Japanese army is obviously to attack Wuhan from the north. Although the Sixth Division, which is one of the most powerful Japanese, seems to have broken away from the battle, the pressure on our troops in Jiangbei has not decreased, but has increased. Now, what we have to face is the four reorganized divisions of the Japanese army."

He Yingqin pondered for a while, then said: "Why did the Niudao brigade and the remnants of the Sakai brigade suddenly give up the Taihu Lake and other places that were at their fingertips? Instead, they gathered in Anqing, which has become the backyard of the Japanese army? What is their intention? President, I think we must Find out as soon as possible. If there is such a surprise army, then our situation in the north of the Yangtze River is enough to reverse. Anqing is now the backyard of the Japanese army, but with this nail nailed there, the Japanese army in the north of the Yangtze River will not be able to attack Wuhan unscrupulously .”

Tang Enbo didn't think so, and interjected: "Boss, I feel that even if our army really has this nail nailed in Anqing, it won't be able to play a big role. It is against a regiment of the Sixth Division and the Potian detachment. Although the Japanese army was wiped out or severely damaged, there must have been a lot of battle damage. How many people are left now? Now that the Udo Island full brigade has gone south, the target must be this army of unknown origin. They can withstand Udo Is it the attack of the brigade? I think it is impossible to rely on them to hold back the Japanese's footsteps." He fought bloody battles with the Japanese, knew the strength and combat effectiveness of the Japanese army very well, and did not believe that the Republic of China would have such A force can survive the slots of the Japanese.His words immediately won the approval of the generals who came down from the front line.

He Yingqin said coldly: "That's right. But have you ever thought about what kind of troops would be able to wipe out at least half of the Japanese divisions and attract the most elite brigades of the Japanese army to attack southward regardless of everything? Sakai The detachment, the Udo Island brigade, many of us here have fought against him, and we should know what kind of troops they are. They are the ones who broke through our 10-strong defensive position with thousands of troops. The well-deserved most elite force of the Japanese army, what kind of force will it be able to attract them to attack with all their strength? Will it be so easy to deal with?"

As soon as this remark came out, all the generals were silent, even Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi felt ashamed.Chief He's words are right. The hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the Fifth War Zone have only one opponent this month, and that is the Sixth Division and the affiliated Bo Tian Detachment. How much do they have in total?It's just more than 3 people.But it was these 3 people who conquered their 30 people's positions one by one, broke up the cities one by one, and occupied the important towns one by one. The more they fought, the more critical the situation became.Among them, Xu Yuanquan's No.20 Sixth Army and Yang Sen's No.20 Seventh Army were defeated by them even more, and they were defeated for thousands of miles.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit depressed, President Jiang said, "Okay, okay, does this army exist? What is the truth about Anqing? I have ordered the military to command."

At this moment, a mournful howl came from outside the gate: "Principal".
