Changhe Bay, the temporary headquarters of the 22nd Division of the Japanese Army.

Due to the lack of suitable buildings, and the square-topped tent of the division headquarters was lost and burned in the fire just now, the earth bridge could only let people dig a hole in the right side of the canyon at a time, which was regarded as the headquarters headquarters.

It was already past eleven o'clock in the evening, but Shunichi Doi hadn't slept yet.

The reason why Shunichi Doi couldn't sleep was because he was thirsty, so thirsty that his throat smoked, and he couldn't sleep at all.

Since there was no water source in the canyon and there was not much drinking water left in the army's reserves, the division headquarters issued an order that all the remaining drinking water should be collected and supplied according to rations.

Just when Toshitoshi Doi tossed and turned, and it was difficult to sleep, a kettle suddenly appeared in front of him.

Shunichi Doi said that he was dreaming, closed his eyes hard, then opened them again, and found that the kettle was still in front of him, and when he looked up again, Shunichi Doi saw Tsuchihashi once.

Tsuchihashi handed the kettle again and again, and said, "Doi-kun, please." ”

"Hello." Shunichi Doi took the kettle, took a shallow sip, and handed the kettle back.

Tsuchihashi took the kettle once and took a sip, and said: "Doi-kun, while there is still time, hurry up and sleep, in the next few days, I'm afraid there will be no time to sleep!" ”

"Hello!" Doi Junichi nodded slightly and sat down against the cave wall.

Tsuchihashi also sat down next to Shunichi Doi at one time, looking up at the night sky.

Shunichi Doi also subconsciously looked up at the night sky, and then said casually: "Division Commander, the sky seems to be a lot darker than just now, is the mountain fire about to be extinguished?" ”

Doi Jun was unintentional when he said it, but Tsuchihashi was moved after hearing it once.

At that moment, Tsuchihashi took a closer look and found that the night sky, which had been red by the fire, was really darkened.

Tuqiao's brows furrowed once, it shouldn't be, the mountains on both sides of Changhe Bay are continuous, the vegetation is lush, and the wildfire shouldn't be extinguished so quickly.

Unless...... Thinking of this, Tsuchihashi's heart suddenly froze.

However, the more he was afraid of something, the more he came, and as soon as Tsuchihashi thought that it might be the Chinese army fighting the fire, a signal corpsman hurried over.

"Division Commander!" The signal corps reported, "The search team reported that the Arishina Army on the back of the mountain is putting out the fire!" ”

"Nani, extinguishing the fire?" Shunichi Doi didn't realize the danger yet, and said blankly, "Is the Shina army idle?" ”

Tsuchihashi knew it once, so he stood up and shouted: "Doi-kun, don't sleep anymore, get up and prepare for battle, if nothing else, the Shina army will soon launch a general attack!" ”

"Nani?" Shunichi Doi was still at a loss, "The Chinese army wants to attack?" ”

Before the words could be spoken, a faint burst of gunfire came from behind the mountain beam on the right side of the canyon.

Immediately after, the gunfire became dense, and there were faint explosions, and after a few moments, a dense burst of gunfire rang out behind the mountain beam on the left side of the canyon, and there were continuous explosions!

"Yaga!" Doi Shun cursed in a low voice, pulled out the southern pistol with his backhand, pulled the bolt away, and then stood behind Tsuchihashi once, as an adjutant, his main mission is to protect Tsuchihashi's life, otherwise once Tsuchihashi has a good one, he can only cut his stomach to thank him.

……

In Nanjing, the headquarters of the Central China Front.

At about four o'clock in the morning, Shunroku Hata was gently woken up by the sleep of the human forest.

When I opened my eyes, I saw the ugly face of Shozo by the river at a glance.

"Riverside-kun? What's wrong with it? Shunroku Hata said with some anger.

In the second half of the night, he was disturbed to his dreams, as long as it was a person, he would have a temper, not to mention that Shunroku Hata had just dreamed back to the past, fighting with his new wife by the river.

"Hello!" Kawabe apologized for the first time, and said, "Your Excellency, the situation of the battle has changed. ”

"Nani, has the tide of the battle changed?" Shunroku Hatata's heart jumped, and he said in a deep voice, "What's going on?" ”

"Hello!" Kawabe Shozo paused again, and then continued, "The Shina Army did not wait for the fire in the mountains to extinguish itself, but took the initiative to extinguish the fire, and successfully extinguished the mountain fire in the early hours of the morning, and then launched a general attack on the 22nd Division and the 27th Division from a front more than nine kilometers long!" ”

"Nani?" Shunroku Hata said in a lost voice, "The Shina army actually extinguished the fire and attacked? ”

"Hello!" Kawabe Shozo paused again, and then said, "Up to now, the two armies have been fighting fiercely for more than four hours, and the situation of the 27th Division is okay, but the 22nd Division has suffered heavy casualties!" ”

Hearing this, Shunroku Hata couldn't sit still anymore, and even put on his shirt and got out of bed.

Moments later, Shunroku Hata, accompanied by Shozo Kawabe, appeared in the war room.

At this time, the war room was already busy, and I saw that several combat staff officers were working on the sand table, and when they saw Shunroku Hata walking in, several staff officers greeted each other.

Shunroku Hata waved his hand and walked straight to the sand table.

Looking closely, Shunroku Hata saw at a glance that there were already dense blue pennants on both sides of Changhe Bay.

Needless to say, the Chinese army represented by these small blue flags, roughly counted, has at least more than fifty divisions!

"Yaga!" Shunroku Hata said hatefully, "It seems that the Shina Army is really determined to eat the 22nd Division and the 27th Division first, and then retreat calmly!" ”

Seriously, until just now, Shunroku Hata insisted that the Chinese army was just making a show in Changhe Bay, and the purpose was only to deter and force the Japanese army to abandon the pursuit, and then they could calmly withdraw to Wuhan! Otherwise, let the 22nd Division and the 27th Division hang like a shadow, and the Chinese army will only have one ending in annihilation!

But now, Shunroku Hata must admit that this time he really looked away!

The damn Chinese army actually came, they really wanted to eat the 22nd Division and the 27th Division!

The next moment, a raging anger swelled in the heart of Toshiroku Hatata, stupid Shina, I gave you a chance to escape, but you didn't run, and you even wanted to eat the two divisions of the imperial army in turn! Are the two divisions of the Imperial Army so easy to eat? Since you are looking for your own death, then don't blame me for being unkind!

At that moment, Shunroku Hahata shouted in a low voice: "Hebian-kun, order the 22nd Division to shrink its strength, and then order the 27th Division to send an infantry wing to move closer to the direction of the 22nd Division!" ”

After a pause, Shunroku Hata gritted his teeth and shouted: "Tell Tsuchihashi and Honma Masaharu once, let them hold on to Changhewan for four days no matter what, as long as they can hold on to Changhewan for four days, the main force of more than 600,000 branches in Dabie Mountain will be over!" And the imperial army will also win the final victory of the Battle of Wuhan! ”

"Hello!" The riverside is stumbling three times.
