After confirming the combat readiness, Zhong Yi held a military meeting to finalize the defensive deployment!

Soon, Zhu Liangcheng, Sun Liren and other ten brigade commanders or captains walked into the conference room one after another, and when they came in, they saw that Zhong Yi was already sitting on the main seat!

In this regard, Zhong Yi is completely different from other chief officials.

The commanders of the other units always had to put out the score, and they had to wait for all the officers under them to arrive before they were the last to enter the conference room.

But Zhong Yi never engages in such showmanship.

Seeing that everyone was together, Zhong Yi raised his head and said, "Everyone is together, now the meeting is held!" ”

Sun Liren, Zhu Liangcheng and the others looked solemn, and their eyes swept towards Zhong Yi.

Zhong Yi said: "The garrison headquarters has just received a report on the battle situation from the Fifth Theater Commander's Department, and the 10th Division, the vanguard of the Second Army of the Devils, has advanced to the front line of Xiaogan and Huangpi!" ”

Zhu Liangcheng and the others perked up when they heard this, the devil is finally here!

After a pause, Zhong Yi said again: "When the devils attack Wuhan, Hankou will definitely bear the brunt!" Now, it's time to decide which troops to put in the defense of Hankow! ”

As soon as Zhong Yi's words fell, Zhu Liangcheng got up and said, "Tuanzao, hand it over to our 367 Brigade!" ”

Not to be outdone, Sun Liren also stood up and said: "Counselor, our anti-smuggling corps has always been stationed in Hankou and guarding Hankou, so naturally it is our anti-smuggling corps!" ”

"Fart!" Shi Zude said, "With our special service brigade here, which turn will it be your anti-smuggling team?" ”

Liu Yuanlin, Chen Jingan and several other brigade commanders also asked for battle, but only Tuesday Zi lowered his head and did not say anything.

Zhong Yi's gaze swept over Erzi's face intentionally or unintentionally, and said: "The battle for the defense of Hankou is very important, there is a way is a good start and half the success, if the battle of Hankou is not fought well, it will directly affect the entire Wuhan defense battle, and even affect the entire Wuhan battle!" In view of this, one infantry brigade is certainly not enough! ”

Zhu Liangcheng, Sun Liren and others immediately stopped saying nothing and waited for Zhong Yi to decide.

Zhong Yi said: "I order!" ”

Zhu Liangcheng and the others brushed up.

Zhong Yi then stood up and said loudly: "The 367 Brigade, the Special Service Brigade, the Guard Brigade and the Police Corps, guard Hankou!" ”

"Yes!" Zhu Liangcheng, Shi Zude, Liu Yuanlin, and Erzi snapped and stood upright, and responded violently.

Zhong Yi said again: "Anti-smuggling Corps, the 1st Garrison Brigade, the 2nd Garrison Brigade, and the 3rd Garrison Brigade, guarding Hanyang!" ”

"Yes!" Sun Liren, Chen Jing'an, Liu Futing, Pan Zihe and Lizheng responded violently.

Zhong Yi finally said: "The 4th Brigade of the Garrison, the 5th Brigade of the Garrison!" Shou Wuchang! ”

"Yes!" Zhou Mengxiong and Zhang Buwu also snapped and responded loudly.

Zhong Yi's cold gaze swept over the faces of the ten participants again, and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, the big war is imminent, I won't say anything superfluous, I will just say that the battle of Wuhan is related to the life and death of the entire country and the entire nation, so I hope you can have the determination to die and fight to the death against the Japanese invaders!" ”

"Yes!" Zhu Liangcheng and others responded violently.

……

As soon as the military meeting of the garrison headquarters ended, the garrisons of the 367th Brigade, the Special Service Brigade, and the Guard Brigade began to get busy, and groups of heavily armed officers and men drove out of the barracks one after another, and then went down the streets to the docks to take a boat.

At this time, Wuchang City was almost empty, and there was no one else except the workers who stayed behind.

So there was no one in the middle of the road to say goodbye, only the neat queue of soldiers and soldiers of the national army and the sound of clattering footsteps on the street.

On the wharf, dozens of small steamers were already waiting there, and the 367th Brigade, as well as the Special Service Brigade and the Guard Brigade, began to cross the river by boat in an orderly manner, went ashore at the Hankou Wharf, and then entered the city.

As for the police corps, it was originally stationed in Hankow, which saved trouble.

Long before the troops crossed the river, Zhong Yi had already taken Zhu Liangcheng, Shi Zude, and Liu Yuanlin to take the lead in crossing the river, and established the Hankou headquarters in the Hankou railway station.

If nothing else, the first Japanese attack must have been Hankow.

And the Hankou Railway Station must be the priority target of the Japanese army!

Therefore, Zhong Yi directly set up the Hankou headquarters at the railway station, and personally served as the commander-in-chief of Hankou!

……

At this moment, the huge underground command hall of Hankou Railway Station is brightly lit!

A huge sand table was placed in the center of the command hall, and around the sand table stood Zhong Yi, Zhu Liangcheng, Shi Zude, Liu Yuanlin and other military chiefs, as well as more than a dozen operational staff officers of the General Staff Office.

From the sand table, or from the map, Hankow looks like a giant butterfly!

And Hankou Railway Station, just at the head of this butterfly, butterfly wings open left and right, and then outside is the Han River and the Yangtze River, three sides of the water, only the north is land!

Next, there is the specific defensive deployment of the Hankou battlefield.

Zhong Yi said: "Brigade Commander Zhu, Hankou Railway Station will be handed over to you!" ”

In private, Zhong Yi can be commensurate with Zhu Liangcheng as an old Zhu, but on formal occasions he is still commensurate with his position.

"Yes!" Zhu Liangcheng said, "Don't worry, as long as there is still one person in our 367 Brigade, the devil won't want to cross the Hankou Railway Station half a step!" ”

Zhong Yi said again: "Brigade Commander Shi! ”

"Yes!" Shi Zude stepped forward and replied loudly.

Zhong Yi stretched out his hand and pointed to the sand table and said, "Follow the new street to Xunlimen, and the western block will be handed over to your spy brigade!" ”

"Yes!" Shi Zude snapped upright, and said, "Please rest assured, as long as there is still one person in our special service brigade, as long as this person is still breathing, the devil will not want to cross the new street by half a step!" ”

Zhong Yi nodded, and said again: "Brigade Commander Liu! ”

"Yes!" Liu Yuanlin stepped forward and replied loudly.

Zhong Yi said: "From Xiaocaijia Lane to the block east of the Water Gate, it will be handed over to your guard brigade!" ”

"Yes!" Liu Yuanlin stood upright and replied proudly, "I promise you that the people are in the position!" ”

Zhong Yi bowed his head slightly, his gaze finally fell on Erzi's face, and said in a deep voice: "Captain Zhou! ”

"Yes!" Tuesday Zi hurriedly stepped forward and replied, "Please take a seat!" ”

"The central neighborhood of Hankou is defended by your police corps." Zhong Yi stretched out his hand and said, "As long as the railway station and the positions on the left and right wings have not been lost, the defense area of your police corps will not be attacked, but this does not mean that your police corps can watch the scenery from the side." ”

"When necessary, your police corps still needs to cooperate!" After a pause, Zhong Yi said again, "For example, the first line of defense outside the train station still needs your police corps to defend it!" ”

"Huh?" Hearing this, Erzi's face immediately collapsed, and he said bitterly, "The first line of defense? ”

"How?" Zhong Yi's eyes sank and said, "You don't want to?" ”

"No, no, no, no." Tuesday Zi hurriedly said, "Don't dare!" ”
