September 18, 27 years of the Republic of China, eight o'clock in the morning.

Liu Sheng walked into the battle hall of the headquarters worriedly.

Zhong Yi is not the only one who keeps his head clear, but also Liu Sheng.

Zhong Yi has now been locked up in a confinement room, and he can leave nothing alone, but Liu Sheng can't, because he is still the head of the War Department of the Headquarters!

So every night, Liu Sheng was worried.

I'm afraid that when I wake up in the morning, the battle situation on the battlefield of Dabie Mountain has taken a sharp turn for the worse!

And as time went by, Liu Sheng's worries became heavier and heavier!

Seeing Liu Sheng come in, the senior staff officer who had stayed on duty last night immediately came forward.

Chong Gao staff nodded, and Liu Sheng asked, "Gao staff officer, there was nothing wrong last night, right?" ”

"Nope." Staff Officer Gao shook his head and said, "In accordance with your instructions, I also specially inquired about the defenders of Dawu County, Guangshan County, and Shangcheng County, and there was nothing abnormal!" ”

"Okay, it's good that there are no anomalies." Liu Sheng let out a long sigh of relief.

There is no abnormality, which means that the situation that Zhong Yi was worried about did not appear.

At least, until today, such a situation has not arisen.

At that moment, Liu Sheng said again: "Has there been any progress in the encirclement and annihilation of the 22nd and 27th divisions of the Japanese army?" ”

Staff Officer Gao shook his head and said: "I'm afraid this will disappoint the director of the hall, and there is no progress, I heard that the fortifications of the devils on the first line of Guifeng Mountain, Bodao Peak, Tiantianzhai to Baimajian have been repaired more and more perfectly, and the twenty-six armies in the Dabie Mountain Theater have made almost no progress in attacking for ten days." ”

"Expected." Liu Sheng sighed and said, "How can it be so easy to counterattack." ”

After a pause, Liu Sheng said again: "Fortunately, even if you can't take it down, it should be no problem to protect yourself." ”

As soon as the voice fell, the telephone ringing in the communication office next door to the battle hall suddenly rang.

Staff Officer Gao hurriedly rushed into the communications office, grabbed the telephone and said loudly: "I am the War Department of the Headquarters, please speak!" ”

After two seconds, Staff Officer Gao's face suddenly changed dramatically, and he exclaimed, "What? What did you say?! The Japanese Navy's river fleet suddenly launched a fierce attack on the fortress of Tianjiazhen? ”

Liu Sheng's heart suddenly jumped when he heard this, and he had a very bad premonition.

"I see!" After a few more seconds, Staff Officer Gao hurriedly hung up the phone again and said to Liu Sheng, "Director, the general headquarters of the Tianjiazhen Fortress reports that the Japanese army has mobilized at least forty gunboats to launch a fierce attack on them, and at the same time, Guangji County on the periphery of the fortress has also been attacked by a large group of Japanese infantry!" ”

After a pause, Staff Officer Gao continued: "The fortress command estimates that the 11th Army of Okamura Ningji, which has been suspended for more than a month, is about to restart the offensive again!" ”

"Eleventh Army?" Liu Sheng held his forehead with his hand and sighed in a low voice, "I'm afraid it's not just the Eleventh Army!" ”

As soon as the words fell, more than a dozen radio stations on display in the communication room suddenly shouted one after another.

The operator sitting in front of the radio station quickly put on his headphones and listened carefully while recording the dots and crosses on the transcription paper one by one.

Looking at the newspaper operator who was suddenly busy, Staff Officer Gao couldn't help but be stunned.

Liu Sheng's face collapsed in an instant, and the time to come is still here after all!

……

An hour later, Principal Chang arrived when he heard the news.

When Principal Chang walked into the battle hall quickly, the senior staff officers of the headquarters were already busy, and only a few senior generals such as Chen Shi and He Yingpei stepped forward quickly.

"What's going on? What the hell is going on? Principal Chang stomped on the floor with the civilization staff in his hand, and asked urgently, "It was calm last night, why did it leak everywhere when you woke up early this morning?" ”

Chen Shi and He Yingpei glanced at each other, speechless, you ask me, who do I ask?

While speaking, Principal Chang had already walked to the sand table, Liu Sheng and a few staff officers were concentrating on the sand table homework, and only then did he see Principal Chang and hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

"Excuse me." Principal Chang waved his hand impatiently, and said, "For Zhang, what's the situation now?" ”

"Headmaster, the situation is not good!" Liu Sheng calmed down and replied, "To the south, the county town of Guangji, the county seat of Huangmei, and the fortress of Tianjia Town were attacked by the Japanese army at the same time, and the offensive was extremely fierce, and there were enough signs that this was a new round of offensive launched by the Eleventh Army of Okamura Ningji against me!" ”

"No, that's not right, right?" Chen Shi frowned and said, "The main direction of attack of Okamura Ningci's Eleventh Army is the Hunan and Jiangxi borders, why did you run to the north bank of the Yangtze River unusually?" ”

Liu Sheng: "Before, Okamura Ningci's Eleventh Army attacked the Hunan and Jiangxi borders in order to cut off the Guanghan Railway and then encircle the main force of our army in Wuhan, but now that the main force of our army is no longer in Wuhan, why does the Eleventh Army still go to the Hunan and Jiangxi borders?" ”

Chen Shi's face suddenly changed again when he heard this, so to speak, Okamura Ningji's Eleventh Army is coming towards Dabie Mountain!

"Impossible, impossible!" Principal Chang said, "Isn't little Japan's finances on the verge of bankruptcy? Aren't they already powerless to launch a large-scale offensive? Moreover, Okamura Ningji's 11th Army suffered extremely heavy losses on the Hunan and Jiangxi borders, how could it be possible to launch such a large-scale offensive? ”

Liu Sheng ignored Principal Chang, and continued: "In the north, the cities on the border of Hubei, Henan and Anhui, Shangcheng, Guangshan, Dawu and Jinzhai counties were also attacked by the Japanese army at the same time, among which the attack on Dawu was particularly fierce, and the Japanese army not only dispatched long-range bombers, but even large-caliber heavy howitzers!" ”

"Mall, Guangshan, Dawu and Jinzhai counties were attacked by the Japanese army at the same time?" Chen Shi shouted, "The Japanese army that attacked Dawu County even used large-caliber heavy howitzers? ”

"Yes!" Liu Sheng nodded, and then said, "Based on the current situation, it is basically certain that a newly formed group army of the Japanese army has entered the northern part of the Dabie Mountain battlefield, and swept from the northeast to the west in a right-hook fist trend, and its intention should be to form an encirclement with Okamura Ningji's 11th Army in the south. ”

"Closing the circle?" He Yingpei frowned, and said in a lost voice, "Who is around?" ”

Liu Sheng picked up the wooden pole and put it a little heavier on the sand table, and said in a deep voice: "More than 600,000 elites encircling my Dabie Mountain War Zone!" ”

"It can't be! That's impossible! It's impossible! Principal Chang had completely lost his temper and roared, "Little Japan's national strength is about to be exhausted, how can it be possible to still have the financial resources to form a new group army, and how can it be possible to have the financial resources to launch a larger-scale offensive than the Battle of Wuhan?" It's absolutely impossible! ”

"Headmaster!" Liu Sheng said coldly, "This is just a continuation of the Battle of Wuhan!" ”

After a pause, Liu Sheng said again: "The battle of Wuhan has never ended!" It's just that we unilaterally thought that the Battle of Wuhan was over, and the Japanese army never admitted it! ”
