Luo Zhuoying, the former commander of the 19th Group Army, has been transferred to serve in the expeditionary force, and the 19th Group Army is the Central Army, which is the chairman of the committee, so it is natural to place his closest person as the commander. The 19th Group Army originally had a large number of generals, and there were four armies and eight divisions of the 32nd Army, the 49th Army, the 70th Army, and the 72nd Army under his hands, and now after Yu Jishi took office, he brought the 74th Army over, a total of five armies and ten divisions, plus the cavalry regiment, artillery regiment, and automobile regiment directly under the military department, with a strength of nearly 150,000, and it is really strong and strong.

"Hahaha!" Jiang Haoran laughed, and then ordered Leng Rushuang to call back, there is no need to say thank you and help, just fight their own battles and don't trouble him Jiang Haoran. Although the words are a little polite, with their relationship, they will laugh at most.

As cold as frost went out, Ye Kai, director of the Intelligence Division, hurriedly arrived and informed Jiang Haoran that the third division of the Japanese army had moved, and the speed of advance was quite fast, and it was estimated that it would be connected with the Hurricane Column tomorrow morning. At the same time, the Japanese army in Wuhan did not panic as expected, although it was tense, everything was in order, and the reserve units of the two mixed brigades were still stationary, but they had already entered a state of readiness.

The intelligence department of the 40 th Group Army is no better than the intelligence network of the Military Command Bureau, and the eyeliner laid in the pre-Qing Dynasty is naturally deeper and more secretive than the agents of the Military Command, and the Ouchi guards at the sticky pole are not necessarily worse than the agents of the Military Command Bureau.

After reporting the information, Ye Kai avoided everyone's eyes, glanced at Jiang Haoran, stretched out his hand and knocked on the location of Huo Shan on the map, Jiang Haoran immediately smiled, and immediately understood that the Eighth Route Army had seen through his mystery, and his heart was surprised and happy, surprised that the Eighth Route Army really had masters, and happy that he didn't have to spend so much thought and tongue.

As soon as Ye Kai went out, Jiang Haoran rubbed his chin and fell into deep thought.

"What do you think? Total seat. Liu He said.

Jiang Haoran glanced up at Liu He and said, "I'm wondering, where did Anan get the confidence, he was still so calm and relaxed when he was overwhelmed by the interception of soldiers on the back road?" ”

Zhang Dabiao interjected: "The lack of internal troops is nothing more than foreign aid." ”

Liu He said: "I think it's about the same, if nothing else, it is estimated that the Japanese army in Xuancheng, Hangzhou, and North China have begun to advance in the direction of Wuhan, by the way, the Yangtze River channel, and now the fastest way to reach Wuhan is the Yangtze River, although the New Fourth Army has been driven to Pengze and Hukou, but the artillery power of the New Fourth Army is not enough, if the Japanese army puts dozens of naval guns on the Yangtze River, they may not be easy to take Pengze and Hukou." It will be at least a week before we take Huangshan and then advance to the Yangtze River, and in this week, the Japanese army can use transport ships to invest a large amount of troops and materials. ”

"I think so." Jiang Haoran nodded and said.

"Then what should we do now, in this way, not to mention that the New Fourth Army will not be able to complete its mission, the casualties will be very large, and a large number of reinforcements will pour into Wuhan, which will put great pressure on us." Liu Dabiao said.

"There is no other way but to attack frantically and give them less time to calmly schedule. Chief of Staff, immediately send a telegram to the chairman of the committee, suggesting that the offensive time be advanced and the intensity increased, if the conditions permit, it is okay to launch an offensive now, there is no need to worry about the follow-up troops not being able to keep up, and the Japanese army will definitely take a defensive position in the case of an unknown situation. ”

"Yes, I'm going to generate electricity." Liu He said and lifted his legs and left.

"Wait, send another telegram to Yu Jishi of the 19th Group Army, telling him to hold the flank of Xiushui no matter what, and never let the incident of Wu Huawen last time be repeated."

De'an and Xiushui, De'an's position is behind, last time it was because Su Peng's new third division advanced too fast, and Wu Huawen's troops were not well prepared, which led to a surprise attack on Xiushui's Japanese army, copying the back road of the new third division, resulting in heavy casualties in the new third division, this time Jiang Haoran was ready to fight De'an first, so he didn't forget to remind Yu Jishi.

As soon as Liu He left, Jiang Haoran turned his face to Zhang Dabiao again and said, "Brother Siyuan, where is the army now?" ”

Zhang Dabiao waved his hand, made a gesture of please, and then walked to the combat sand table, stood on the side of the sand table, picked up the command pole and waved, and said: "In the direction of Huangshan, the vanguard of the New Tenth Army is in this position - rushing upward, it is only a dozen miles away from Huangshan, and the 160 heavy artillery brigade is less than ten miles behind them. In the De'an direction, the new 2nd Division is already close to the De'an front, the armored brigade is with them, the new 4th Division just passed Yongxiu an hour ago, and the current position should be here 616161616161"

"Brother Siyuan, give an order!" Jiang Haoran interrupted Zhang Dabiao's words and said.

616161616161

As night fell, on the highway more than 10 miles away from Huangshan, a troop was resting on the side of the road, three in groups of five, sitting or standing, there were no lying people, some were still stuffing food and drinking water into their mouths, and some were already smoking cigarettes and chatting softly and farting.

In the dark night, a voice whispered: "Eh, company commander, don't you say it's strange, why didn't you even see a devil puppet army on the way, didn't they fortify on the periphery?" ”

A voice replied: "You don't know this, the devils and the puppet army are all scared, and there used to be a bunker and turret everywhere along the way, but do you know whose activity area is in this area?" That's the activity area of the Hurricane Column, those guys are all the masters who have a sore egg in a day of leisure, where there are devils, it's like a shark smelling blood, they pounce wherever they want, and they fight so hard that the devils don't dare to fortify on the periphery at all, all of them are cowering in the city, and the devils are doing the township movement everywhere, but we can't do it here. ”

"Hehe, there's still this thing."

"Isn't that right?"

"Company commander, do you think we can take Huangshan this time?"

"What? You kid can't speak, what does it mean to 'can', that's definitely can! “

616161616161

From their conversations, it is not difficult to hear their identities, yes, they are the vanguard of the 40th Group Army's attack on Huangshan, the New 11th Division of the National Revolutionary Army.

In the middle of the procession, an American-style jeep stopped on the side of the road, a general in his thirties with the rank of lieutenant general of the national army, one foot on the wheel of the jeep, a cigarette in his mouth, and standing majestically with his waist crossed.
