Chen Shi's words were like water dripping into an oil pan and it exploded in an instant.

"What?"

"What's going on?"

"Okamura Ninji's Eleventh Army has withdrawn?"

"How is this possible? Why did the Japanese withdraw their troops? ”

All the high-ranking generals and senior staff officers present were blown up.

Principal Chang was also a little confused, and asked at the moment: "Resignation, did the telegram say why the Japanese army withdrew?" ”

"Yes." Chen Shi said, "The telegram said that the Japanese army was forced to withdraw its troops to rest because of a large-scale malaria outbreak in the army!" ”

"Malaria?!" Liu Sheng was overjoyed and said, "This is really providence!" ”

"yes, God help me!" Bai Chongbei also said excitedly, "This malaria is really just right, with the outbreak of malaria, with the withdrawal of the 11th Army of Okamura Ningci, the flank threat of Tianjia Town was instantly lifted, as long as the fortress of Tianjia Town is not lost, the three towns of Wuhan still have the possibility of continuing to hold on!" ”

Liu Sheng then said: "In other words, the fighters of the Second Army of the East Kureji Palace have appeared again!" ”

"What? The fighters of the Second Army of the Encirclement and Annihilation of the Higashikure Palace Tsusahiko have appeared again? Chen Shi said disapprovingly, "For Brother Zhang, and Brother Jiansheng, I'm afraid you're too optimistic, right?" ”

"Overly optimistic? I can't see it. Liu Shengdao, "The malaria epidemic is greatly affected by the weather, which means that at least until the end of September, the malaria epidemic is unlikely to be alleviated, that is, at least until the end of September, the main force of Okamura Ninji's Eleventh Army will not be able to launch an offensive again!" ”

Bai Chongbei said again: "Without the threat of the main force of Okamura Ningci's 11th Army, Zhang Fakui's Second Corps and Li Pinxian's Fourth Corps are fully capable of holding the north and south banks of the Yangtze River, after all, the Japanese army's large-tonnage warships cannot penetrate deep into the Yangtze River, and it is impossible to break through the Tianjiazhen fortress with only small-tonnage warships and gunboats!" ”

Liu Sheng continued: "As long as the fortress of Tianjiazhen is not lost, the gunboats of the Japanese Navy will not be able to reach Wuhan, the waterway of the Wuhan section of the Yangtze River will still be under the control of our army, the personnel and materials of the three towns of Wuhan will still be calmly deployed, and even the reinforcements from the Fifth and Ninth Theaters can continue to rush to Wuhan!" ”

Bai Chongbei said again: "This means that the Wuhan Garrison Command is fully capable of holding on to the three towns of Wuhan with the Second Army of the East Kyuru Palace, and when the Second Army of the East Kyuru Palace is exhausted, it will be the time for our army to counterattack!" Even if you can't completely annihilate the Second Army, there is no problem with heavy losses! ”

Liu Sheng said again: "Once the Second Army of Higashikurenomiya Tsusahiko is severely damaged, Okamura Ninji's Eleventh Army will be unable to support itself and will not be able to attack again, so our army will win the Battle of Wuhan!" ”

"That's it!" Bai Chongbei struck and said, "Headmaster, the fighter plane has appeared again!" ”

At this point, Principal Chang finally reacted, and his face showed a flush.

The reason why Principal Chang ordered the withdrawal of troops was only because he felt sorry for Xue Yue's First Corps, as well as the ten infantry brigades left behind in the three towns of Wuhan, these are all the elite of the party-state, especially the ten brigades left in Wuhan, which not only have a large number of veterans, but also have been trained by Zhong Yi, and their combat effectiveness is very strong!

Zhong Yi wants to make worthless sacrifices with these ten brigades, of course Principal Chang can't agree!

However, now, the fighters of the Second Army of the East Kuremiya Tsusahiko have reappeared, and that is another matter! Principal Chang is not reluctant to sacrifice, but reluctant to make worthless sacrifices.

At that moment, Principal Chang clenched his fists and said: "Call the Wuhan Garrison Command immediately, just say that the previous order was not well considered by the Command, and now withdraw the previous order, and then admonish the princes of the Wuhan Garrison Command to guard Wuhan well, and not let the Second Army of the East Jiuer Palace Twist Yan step into Wuhan half a step!" ”

Chen Shi's mouth shook twice, but in the end he didn't say anything.

Because with his understanding of Principal Chang, no matter what he says at this time, it is useless, so it is better to shut up!

However, Chen Shi didn't think in his heart that the fighters that surrounded and annihilated the Second Army of the Higashikuremiya Tsusahiko had reappeared, even without the flank of Okamura Ninji's Eleventh Army, the Second Army of the Higashikurenomiya Tsusahiko also had more than 200,000 troops, such a huge group army, the national army was capable of eating?

……

Wuchang, Wuhan Garrison Headquarters.

Qiu Zongding, the director of communications, rushed into the big office and reported to Zhong Yi: "Attend, the headquarters is in an emergency!" ”

I heard that it was an urgent telegram from the Command, but Zhong Yi had not reacted yet, but Feng Yuxiang, who was sitting diagonally opposite him, had already stood up, and he also said that the Commander's Command's punishment telegram had arrived!

If the Command really ordered Zhong Yi to be punished or even dismissed from his command position, Feng Yuxiang decided to put his old qualifications on the line, dragging the military order and refusing to carry it out! Lao Feng knew very well that Zhong Yi was not only outstanding in all aspects, but also had extremely high personal prestige, once he was lifted, everyone in the entire Wuhan Garrison Command would immediately be in turmoil!

At that time, there is no need for devils to do it at all, and the defenders themselves will be a mess!

Feng Yuxiang doesn't want to be Tang Shengzhi, and he doesn't want Wuhan to repeat the mistakes of Nanjing!

Zhong Yi didn't expect it to be a punishment, so he said indifferently at the moment: "Read!" ”

"Yes!" Qiu Zongding responded, unfolded the telegram and said loudly, "Wuhan Garrison Command: The previous order, the Command Department did not consider it thoroughly, and now withdraw the previous order, and hope that the Wuhan Garrison Command can unite as one, share the same hatred for the enemy, and prevent the Second Army of the East Jiuer Palace from stepping into Wuhan half a step!" ”

"Telegraph me!" When Feng Yuxiang heard this, he quickly took the telegram.

After reading the telegram, Feng Yuxiang couldn't help but say to Zhong Yi: "Ziren, it's really dangerous!" The loss is that I listened to you and did not carry out the orders of the high command, otherwise, I would have withdrawn for a while and then would not have been able to cause chaos in the army? ”

Zhong Yi shook his head and said with a smile: "Don't worry, with me, the military will definitely not be chaotic." ”

"I believe that." Feng Yuxiang nodded, and continued, "By the way, why did the Command suddenly change its mind?" ”

"Because Okamura Ninji's Eleventh Army has withdrawn!" Qiu Zongding said, handed another telegram sandwiched in the folder to Feng Yuxiang, and said, "The fighter plane that surrounded and annihilated the Second Army has appeared again!" ”

Feng Yuxiang took the telegram and read it, and was overjoyed and said: "Ziren, this is really providence!" ”

After a pause, Feng Yuxiang said again: "As soon as Okamura Ningji's Eleventh Army withdraws, the flank threat of Tianjia Town will be lifted in an instant, and we will have no worries, and we can let go of our hands and feet and do it with the old devil of Higashikurenomiya Twister!" Ziren, you must not let me down, you must overthrow this old devil! ”

Zhong Yi nodded and said, "I promise not to disappoint the head seat!" ”
