The news that the cadets of the Luojiashan Officer Training Corps, headed by Zhang Lingfu and Sun Liren, went to the confinement room to visit Zhong Yi soon reached Bai Chongbei.

Even the news that Zhong Yi instructed the new 38th Division and the eight honorary divisions to postpone the return time was also known to Bai Chongbei.

After listening to the report, Bai Chongbei sneered: "Before the last Xiaogan siege and annihilation battle, Zhong Ziren pretended to be sick and resigned from the duties of the former enemy's commander-in-chief, and publicly expressed his willingness to break up the troops of the Wuhan garrison into the Xiaogan former enemy headquarters. ”

Although many days have passed since this incident, Bai Chongbei is still haunted.

After all, it was none other than Zhong Yi who ruined his Bai Chongbei's good deeds!

"It's just acting!" Li Pinxian said, "It's for our principal Chang to see!" ”

"I have to admit it, this play is very good, and it has deceived almost everyone." Bai Chongbei smiled and said, "However, no matter how well he acts, it's useless, and Principal Chang still won't reuse him!" ”

"That's right." Li Pinxian echoed, "Non-Huangpu is not reused, this is President Chang's principle of employing people!" ”

Bai Chongbei said: "So, he still wants to hold on to the new 38th Division and the eight honorary divisions, but it is wishful thinking!" The Wuhan Garrison Command has been abolished! ”

Li Pinxian said: "Gong Jian, do you need to give an order to Sun Liren and Zhu Liangcheng to let them return to the building as soon as possible?" ”

"No, why should I be this wicked person?" Bai Chongbei waved his hand and said, "As long as half a month arrives, Hu Zongnan, Yu Jishi, and Huang Wei will naturally ask for the new 38th Division and eight honorary divisions to be rebuilt!" ”

"Jian Gong is wise!" Li Pinxian thought deeply and said, "We really can't be fooled by this wicked person." ”

"But ......" Bai Chongbei's eyes flashed slightly, and he said, "The new 38th Division and the expanded eight honorary divisions are really rare elite troops, it's a pity, such nine elite divisions are not our Gui troops!" ”

Li Pinxian snorted lightly and said, "The Seventh Army of our Gui family is not necessarily worse than them!" ”

Bai Chongbei shook his head and said nothing more.

……

It's fast to mid-September.

Zhong Yi is still soft-spoken after all, although he struggles hard, he has not been able to change the overall situation after all.

Under Bai Chongbei's full promotion, the Battle of Dabie Mountain was still staged according to his intentions!

The 29th, 74th, 18th, 7th, 31st, 48th, and 40th armies, which arrived one after another, entered the battle one after another and launched a fierce attack on the 22nd and 27th divisions of the Japanese army!

Immediately afterwards, the 26th, 55th, 57th, and 84th armies arrived one after another, forming an encirclement posture against the Japanese 22nd and 27th divisions from a farther range.

It's just that the attack on the Japanese army did not go well!

……

In Nanjing, the headquarters of the Central China Front of the Japanese Army.

In the spacious war room, more than a dozen combat staff officers were surrounding the sand table, nervously carrying out sand table operations.

In the telecommunications room next door, the ringing of telephones and the ticking of telegrams were incessant, and from time to time a communications staff officer came out of the communications room holding a folder and reported the battle situation to the general staff headquarters.

Then, the operational staff officers of the General Staff Headquarters were again busy for a while.

At this time, there was a sudden sound of chaotic footsteps outside the war room.

Immediately afterwards, Shunroku Hatata, commander of the Central China Front, Shozo Kawabe, chief of staff, Ninji Okamura, commander of the 11th Army, and Mikiro Furuzhuang, commander of the 12th Army, who had just arrived in Nanjing, rushed in.

Seeing the high-ranking generals such as Shunroku Hata, the staff officers in the war room hurriedly stood upright.

Shunroku Hata waved his hand, and then strode to the side of the sand table, and Shozo Kawabe and the others also stood on the side of Shunroku Hata one after another, and their eyes fell on the sand table.

The sand table shows the enemy's posture in the battle of Dabie Mountain.

Hebian Zhengzo looked at the director of the General Staff Office, Fair Kuangwu, and said, "Fair Jun, you can introduce the battle situation in Taibie Mountain to Your Excellency the General and the two Generals!" ”

"Hello!" Fair Kuang Wu was stunned, and then picked up the wooden pole and pointed to the sand table and explained, "Your Excellency General, and two other generals, please see, as of today, that is, at ten o'clock in the morning of September 17, the first-class number of the Zhina Army participating in the siege of the 22nd and 27th divisions of our army can be determined, and there are more than 20 of them!" ”

"Yo Xi!" "There are more than twenty definite numbers, so there will only be more troops actually participating in the war, and it is conservatively estimated that there should be more than twenty-five armies!" ”

"Hello!" Fair Kuang Wuton said, "Twenty-five armies must have it!" ”

"Yo West, Yo West, Yo West!" Hata Shunroku said three words in a row, and then said, "According to the information provided by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the troops in the Dabie Mountain Theater of China have a total of about 30 armies, which means that almost all the main forces in the Dabie Mountain Theater have entered the Dabie Mountain!" ”

Okamura Ninji frowned and asked, "Fair Jun, can the 22nd and 27th divisions still hold on?" ”

"Hello!" "Although the Chinese army has a large number of troops and attacks are also very fierce, due to their lack of heavy weapons to attack fortifications, there are not many ways to deal with the 22nd and 27th divisions that have already built complete fortifications in advance!" As long as there are no major accidents, the 22nd and 27th divisions can support at least more than a month! ”

"Yo Xi!" The expression on Okamura's face finally relaxed, and he clenched his fists hard.

Shunroku Hata asked again, "Okamura-kun, how is your Eleventh Army resting?" Can you play? ”

"Hello!" Okamura Ninji slammed his head and said, "Our Eleventh Army has completed its rest, and the combat effectiveness of all divisions and regiments has basically recovered, and it can be re-entered into battle at any time!" ”

"Yo Xi!" Shunroku Hata nodded happily, then turned his gaze to Guzhuang Ganlang again, and asked, "Guzhuang-kun, have all the divisions and regiments of the Twelfth Army entered the designated positions?" ”

"Hello!" Guzhuang Ganlang paused, "Your Excellency General, rest assured, all the 10 divisions of the Twelfth Army have entered the designated position, and just wait for Your Excellency the General's order, you can cooperate with the Eleventh Army to launch a centripetal attack on Dabie Mountain from Bengbu, Fuyang and Xinyang, and at the same time dispatch at least three divisions to attack Wuhan!" ”

"Yo Xi!" Shunroku Hata nodded happily, raised his wrist to look at his watch again, and said, "It's half past four in the afternoon of September 17th, and it's already a little late, so let's launch a general attack tomorrow morning!" Setting the general attack on September 18 can also pay tribute to the Wicker Lake incident seven years ago! It was the Wicker Lake incident that opened the door to the victory of the Empire! ”

"Hello!" Okamura Ninji and Furujo Michiro nodded at the same time.
