Chapter 440: War is Imminent

After the meal, Zhang Yuanmo and Zhang Yuanfan still wanted to pester Zhong Yi and let Zhang Mouzhi forcibly drive him away, and Zhang Manyi, who was full of tenderness and almost turned into water, finally had the opportunity to be alone with Zhong Yi.

Holding Zhang Manyi's little hand into the boudoir, the faint fragrance entered his nose, and Zhong Yi couldn't help but move.

As soon as he entered the door, Zhang Manyi immediately turned around, opened his arms and hugged Zhong Yi's waist hard, and a mantis head was also buried deep in Zhong Yi's chest.

Zhong Yi lowered his head slightly, and the tip of his nose touched Zhang Manyi's hair, which was fragrant and refreshing.

Feeling Zhong Yi's snort, Zhang Manyi's voice trembled a little, and he said in a low voice: "Ah Yi, I'm not dreaming, right?" I'm so scared it's a dream! ”

Zhang Manyi is so afraid that when she wakes up, all this in front of her will no longer exist!

"It's not!" Zhong Yi gently hugged Zhang Manyi and said, "This is not a dream. ”

After a long time, Zhong Yi said: "Man Yi, it is said that I am already a major general now, and I should be married to you, but you also know that the Japanese army has just occupied Xuzhou, and it will definitely continue to attack Wuhan next, and as the chief of staff of the Wuhan Garrison Command, the burden on my shoulders is too heavy, so I ......"

"Ah Yi, you don't have to explain." Zhang Manyi raised her face, stared at Zhong Yi with affection, and said, "Really, in fact, I fully support what you said that day, why should the Huns not be destroyed, I Zhang Manyi likes such a man with iron bones, I will wait for you, and I am willing to wait for you, for a year, ten years, for a lifetime!" ”

Zhong Yi's heart trembled, and then he couldn't help but lower his head.

The four fiery lips were tightly entangled.

……

According to Christian etiquette, after getting engaged, they are husband and wife, and they can do whatever they want.

But Zhong Yi didn't stay overnight at Zhang's house, and after lingering in the boudoir with Zhang Manyi for less than half an hour, Zhong Yi said goodbye ruthlessly, or that, the current Zhong Yi can't wait to break a second into a minute, he really doesn't have much time to spend the moon with his fiancΓ©e or in the boudoir.

walked with Zhong Yi, as well as Zhang Yuandong.

In order to make it more convenient to enter and exit, Zhong Yi gave Zhang Yuandong a fictitious title of staff officer in the staff department.

Back at the headquarters, Zhong Yi took Zhang Yuandong and began to study the design of the Hankou Railway Station Fortress, Guishan Fortress and Snake Mountain Fortress.

During the whole process, Zhong Yi was only responsible for making specific requests.

"Three fortresses, the top cover must be able to withstand the bombardment of 1-ton aerial bombs!"

"The side walls must be able to withstand direct fire from at least 150mm caliber cannons!"

"The howitzer positions of the Turtle Mountain Fortress and the Snake Mountain Fortress must be built on the anticline of the mountain!"

"The frontal defense strength of the fortress artillery position must be able to withstand direct fire from 300mm caliber naval guns!"

"The three fortresses must contain a complete group of underground fortifications, hospitals, ammunition warehouses, command posts, dormitories, etc. must be complete, and there must be alternate passages between the main bunkers and sub-bunkers of each fortress in addition to the common passages! And the backup passage has to be hidden enough! ”

"Each fortress must be guaranteed to be able to accommodate 10,000 people at the same time for combat recuperation!"

Zhong Yi said there that Zhang Yuandong recorded them one by one, in fact, there were all the Jianghan defense outlines formulated by the second group, but Zhang Yuandong wrote them all by himself in order to deepen his impression.

Early the next morning, Uncle Lang and Uncle Lang had breakfast and began to conduct an on-the-spot investigation.

Zhong Yi began to devote himself to the design of the fortress, and all departments of the Wuhan Garrison Headquarters began to follow Zhong Yi's plan, and all the work began to be fully rolled out!

Soon, Wuhan became a lively construction site!

The first to benefit were the refugees who had been wandering outside Wuhan.

Originally, it was difficult for these refugees to find even odd jobs, and they could only rely on half a bowl of porridge distributed by the government to barely hang for their lives, but early this morning, the city gates of Hankou, Hanyang and Wuchang were suddenly plastered with job advertisements, not only job advertisements, but even many business owners and managers came to the scene to recruit people.

These business owners and managers are almost anyone.

As long as you have sound hands and feet and can work, whether it is the elderly, women or children, you have to do it all!

With the full rollout of several large-scale infrastructure projects, as the supporting factories are running at full capacity, and as more and more refugees and unemployed people enter the factories to work, the whole city is quickly recovering to life!

The number of food stalls on the streets has gradually increased, the shops that had closed down on the streets have reopened one by one, and even the rickshaws and cars on the streets are more than ever!

The citizens of Wuhan who are busy do not feel the imminent war at all!

……

But war will not be kept away because the lives of Wuhan citizens are full of suffering!

When the time entered April 1938, after the Japanese army captured Xuzhou, it took a short rest and recuperated, and then launched an attack from the north and south again.

The Japanese Army on the North Route was the Second Army, led by Higashikure Tsusahiko, with the 3rd, 10th, 13th, 16th, and 116th Divisions under its command, attacking westward along the Longhai Line from near Xuzhou.

According to the plan, after advancing to Zhengzhou, the Second Army will turn south and take Wuhan directly!

The Japanese army on the south route was the 11th Army, led by Okamura Ninji, under the jurisdiction of the 6th, 9th, 18th, 101st, 106th divisions and the Botian detachment, attacking westward along the Yangtze River and reaching Wuhan!

According to the plan, if in the middle of the attack, it is found that the main force of the Wuhan National Army has signs of breaking and fleeing to the south, the 11th Army will attack De'an from the Nanxun line instead, and then make a detour to the west to cut off the escape route of the main force of the National Army to the south!

In addition, the Central China Front also has four divisions directly under the 15th, 17th, 22nd, and 27th divisions, as well as an aviation regiment with three flying regiments and more than 300 combat aircraft!

From the beginning of April, 14 divisions and detachments of the Central China Front of the Japanese Army, with a total strength of more than 500,000 troops, were divided into two routes and swooped down on Wuhan.

……

At the same time, the two devils rushed to the headquarters of the Second Army in Xuzhou.

These two devils are Zhong Yi's old opponents, Usamitaka and Shigeo Yamamoto.

"Your Highness!" Usamitaka and Shigeo Yamamoto walked into the war room together, and suddenly retracted their feet and stood up again.

Higashikure, who was studying the map, immediately raised his head when he heard this, strode forward to meet him, first patted Usamitaka and Yamamoto Shigeo on the shoulder, and laughed again: "Usami-kun, Yamamoto-kun, you can be regarded as here!" ”

Usamitaka and Shigeo Yamamoto looked at each other, and His Highness spoke in a tone as if he had known them for a long time?

"Don't be surprised!" Higashikure smiled, "You don't know me, but I've heard of the two of you for a long time!" ”
