Chongqing, Headquarters.

Although it was already more than eight o'clock in the night, the battle hall of the headquarters was still brightly lit.

Liu Sheng, director of the Operations Department of the Headquarters, was taking more than a dozen senior staff officers such as Wen Yingxing and Yang Nan to do war games on a huge sand table.

The battlefield of the deduction is the three towns of Wuhan!

Two hours have passed, and the deduction is over!

Principal Chang came to the sand table for the first time and asked Liu Sheng: "For Zhang, how is it?" ”

The eyes of Chen Shi, He Yingpei, Xu Yongsheng, Bai Chongbei and other senior generals also gathered on Liu Sheng's face.

Liu Sheng sighed lightly, shook his head and said: "Principal, due to the incentive of high bounties, the combat effectiveness of the Japanese army has soared, and under the rise of one another, the combat effectiveness of our army will inevitably decline, and the reason why there will be a one-to-ten casualty ratio on the battlefield in Wuhan today is probably the main reason, not the embodiment of the real combat strength of the two sides......

Principal Chang waved his hand violently and said impatiently: "For the chapter, let's talk about the point!" ”

"Yes!" Liu Sheng complimented, and said, "Principal, judging from the results of the war games, unless there is a miracle, Wuhan will definitely not be able to hold it!" ”

"What?" Principal Chang frowned and said, "You must not be able to hold it?" ”

"Yes!" Liu Sheng, "Unless there is a miracle, it must not be able to hold it!" ”

Principal Chang frowned and said, "Cancel the middle buffer zone, and push the defense line out to the city wall?" ”

As he spoke, Principal Chang pointed to the buffer zone between Hankou and the Hanyang battlefield, which was located on the periphery of Hankou and Hanyang City, and was an area specially set aside by Zhong Yi.

"No way!" Liu Sheng shook his head and said, "Canceling the middle buffer zone and pushing the defense line out to the city wall can certainly avoid hand-to-hand combat with the Japanese army, making the battle situation change from brutal street fighting to positional warfare, but in this way, the Japanese army's huge number of artillery direct fire will also have a place to use, and the situation of our army will be even more disadvantaged!" ”

After a pause, Liu Sheng said again: "Compared with the two, it's better to fight in the streets!" ”

Principal Chang frowned and said, "But the problem is that you can't hold it at all in the street fighting!" ”

"Yes, I can't hold it!" Liu Sheng nodded, and continued, "If there is no miracle, it will take as little as seven days, or as much as half a month, and the three towns of Wuhan will definitely be lost!" And the counteroffensive plan formulated by the high command before the war has in fact failed completely! That is to say, the Battle of Wuhan has in fact been a complete failure! ”

After Liu Sheng finished speaking, the entire hall instantly fell silent.

Before this, Chen Shi had been muttering and lobbying President Chang to give up the plan to defend Wuhan, but when the Wuhan war situation was at its end, he didn't dare to mention it again!

Why? Nanjing's Yin Jian is not far away!

If nothing else, at this moment, the morale of the more than 100,000 officers and soldiers on the front line in Wuhan will inevitably be in turmoil, and if there is any more rumor of retreat in the headquarters at this time, the morale of these hundreds of thousands of officers and soldiers will collapse in an instant!

Even if Zhong Yi is here, he may not be able to create a miracle again, the reason why a miracle is a miracle is because it is not replicable, if it can happen repeatedly, can it still be called a miracle?

So at this time, the command can only make up its mind to fight the Japanese invaders to the end!

"Bang!" At that moment, Principal Chang slammed his fist on the edge of the sand table, and said in an iron-clad tone, "Call the Wuhan Garrison Headquarters immediately, no matter how severe the situation is, no matter how ferocious the Japanese invaders are, they must not have the heart to fear the enemy and fight, and all the soldiers in Wuhan must have the determination to die with the Japanese invaders, and they must not waver in the slightest!" ”

……

At this time, in the staff of the Wuhan Garrison Command.

There was no one in the huge office, and before Zhong Yi came back, all the staff officers asked Feng Yuxiang to drive him away, and he wanted to leave the space for Zhang Manyi and Zhong Yi alone.

Zhong Yi came in and saw that there was no one in the office, and said in surprise: "What about people?" ”

"Let Commander-in-Chief Feng take them away." Zhang Manyi's pretty face turned red when she said it, although she was only 18 years old and just a little girl who didn't know anything about the world, but this didn't mean that she couldn't see Feng Yuxiang's hard work.

Even Zhang Manyi, a little girl, can see it, and Zhong Yi can naturally see it even more.

Zhong Yi didn't want to live up to Feng Yuxiang's hard work, so he stepped forward quickly and hugged Zhang Manyi into his arms.

Burying the head of the mantis in Zhong Yi's chest, listening to Zhong Yi's powerful heartbeat, and then smelling the sweat on Zhong Yi's body, Zhang Manyi felt panicked with his pretty face, and his heart was even more panicked!

"Ah Yi, you, don't you get angry with me?"

"Angry? Why be angry? ”

"I didn't listen to you, I stayed secretly."

"But I know you just want to be close to me."

Zhang Manyi didn't say anything more, just stretched out his arms and hugged Zhong Yi's waist hard.

Zhong Yi reached out and gently picked up Zhang Manyi's chin, then forced his eyes to look at her, and said in a deep voice: "However, don't do this again in the future, otherwise I will really be angry." ”

"Hmm." Zhang Manyi didn't dare to look directly into Zhong Yi's eyes, and subconsciously closed her eyelids.

Zhong Yi lowered his head, looked at Zhang Manyi's long eyelashes that were trembling slightly, and suddenly felt an indescribable tenderness and sweetness in his heart, and immediately held Zhang Manyi's pretty face with both hands and kissed it hard.

……

Outside the gate on the first floor, Feng Yuxiang was smoking silently, and Xiao Fan was on the side.

After enduring it for a long time, Xiao Fan still couldn't hold back after all, stretched his neck and glanced in the direction of the big office on the second floor, although he didn't see anything, he still covered his mouth and snickered.

Feng Yuxiang asked, "Xiaofan, what are you laughing at?" ”

"No, no." Xiao Fan hurriedly shook his head, "I didn't laugh." ”

"And said no." Feng Yuxiang smiled and asked, "Are you laughing at your participation?" ”

When Xiao Fan heard this, he laughed again, and whispered, "We are in love with Sister Man Yi." ”

Looking at the envy in Xiao Fan's eyes, Feng Yuxiang suddenly felt a sigh in his heart, what a good young man, but I'm afraid I won't have the opportunity to taste love again.

At that moment, Feng Yuxiang took out a cigarette from the front door, smoked one and handed it to Xiao Fan: "Come?" ”

"I don't smoke!" Xiao Fan hurriedly shook his hand and said, "The counselor said that smoking is harmful to health. ”

"Hey, you little soldier, you know a lot." Feng Yuxiang smiled and put the cigarette back.

After being silent for a moment, Feng Yuxiang asked again: "Xiaofan, tell me, why did you come to be a soldier?" ”

"Because of poverty." Speaking of the reason for being a soldier, the smile on Xiao Fan's face finally disappeared, and he lowered his head and said, "There are too many brothers and sisters in the family to support them, so they can only send me to be a soldier." ”

Feng Yuxiang said again: "Then do you miss home?" ”

"Yes." Xiao Fan nodded without hesitation.

"I'm homesick too." Feng Yuxiang said.
