The Statistical Survey Bureau of the Military Commission acted vigorously and resolutely, and in just a few days, the Japanese spies who had infiltrated the De'an area and the traitors who had been bribed were wiped out. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Seeing that those people who were usually sanctimonious turned out to be traitors, and watching them being shot one by one, the onlookers applauded.

Yang Ling's regiment was verbally commended by the division commander, General Wang Yaowu, for helping to crack such a major case of collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country.

In addition, part of the food and materials seized by the division headquarters from the Zheng family, who collaborated with the enemy, were also allocated to Yang Ling and their regiment as a reward.

It was because of the intensity of the training and the food and nutrition that the brothers were forced to send people to dig into the mountains to hunt.

The traitors who collaborated with the enemy and treason were wiped out, and Yang Ling not only received a reward from the top, but also obtained enough food and materials, which can be regarded as fame and fortune.

After the matter came to an end, Yang Ling and the others no longer needed to go up the mountain to hunt to supplement the lack of food, but devoted themselves to the whole training.

The brothers stayed in a good place in the De'an Mountains and had a good supply of food and meat, and their enthusiasm for training was also very high.

Yang Ling also appropriately increased the intensity of the brothers' training, and in this intensive training, the brothers' ability to shoot and throw bombs and cooperate with the platoon has been greatly improved.

By the time Yang Ling and his troops were resting in De'an, the clouds of war were already looming towards the Wuhan area.

Wuhan is a comprehensive hub of water and land transportation in China's hinterland, and has become a political and economic center with the withdrawal of most of the party and government organs of the Nationalist government to Wuhan.

In order to force China to surrender, the Japanese army planned to capture the central area of Wuhan, causing the central government led by Chairman Chiang to become a local government, and finally achieving the goal of forcing China to surrender.

Because now the coast of China and most of the economically developed areas in North China have become occupied areas, once the Japanese army captures Wuhan, the last economically developed area.

Then the Chinese government did not have strong economic support and was unable to compete with the powerful Japanese army, so the attack on Wuhan became a new combat target for the Japanese army's base camp.

According to the original battle plan of the Japanese base camp, the main forces in North China would move south along the Pinghan Line to capture Wuhan.

However, when the Chinese army blew up the Yellow River's Huayuankou embankment, the Yellow River was diverted, and a vast area of 44 counties was reduced to a flood zone.

The Chinese side blocked the offensive of the Japanese North China Front with water instead of troops, forcing the base camp to order the Central China Front to attack Wuhan along the banks of the Yangtze River, while the North China Front evolved into an assist.

"Quick fix! End the Shina incident as soon as possible. ”

The Japanese army was small in size and lacked resources, and the attrition of several large-scale battles in a row had stretched them down, so this time they tried to achieve a quick victory, capture Wuhan as soon as possible, and force the Chinese side to surrender.

In order to achieve the effect of a quick victory, the Japanese Army, in addition to leaving one division to defend the homeland, transferred almost all of the army's troops to the Chinese battlefield.

In the face of the Japanese army's outpouring of the nest, the Chinese army felt more and more difficult, because the previous battles had exhausted almost all the elite.

In the Songhu battlefield alone, there were 300,000 elite casualties, and most of the current troops were recruited recruits and regular troops with the expansion of the rear security regiment, which could not compete with the well-equipped Japanese army at all.

But the Chinese high command is also aware of Wuhan's strategic importance, which is home to not only millions of people, but also countless institutions, schools, and factories, and if it loses here, the Chinese military will lose its economic support.

In the face of the menacing Japanese army, the Chinese high command also put forward a battle plan to defend Wuhan-for-tat.

In view of the fact that the Chinese army has been completely lost in the previous battles, and the new troops have not yet formed a fighting force, the battle to defend Wuhan will be exchanged for space and time, and strive for a protracted war of resistance.

In the operations hall of the Supreme Military Commission in Wuhan, the stars were shining brightly, and dozens of generals had serious faces.

"Our operational policy is to use a protracted war and a war of attrition to break the enemy's attempt to achieve a quick victory, secure the core of Wuhan, and strive for the final victory!" The chief of the War Office vigorously read out to the generals the general concept of the battle.

The chairman's subdued voice also sounded: "In this operation, we will not focus on the gains and losses of one city or one place, but will automatically select a favorable combat area to achieve the goal of annihilating the enemy's vital forces." ”

The chief of operations continued: "The battle will be carried out in various theaters as corridors to launch a vast guerrilla war, and at the same time, new and tenacious positions will be built in the mountainous areas of eastern Hunan, western Hubei, western Anhui, and western Henan, and new sharp troops will be deployed to wait for the enemy to penetrate deep and fight a decisive battle with him in the new positions. ”

"It is imperative to base ourselves on the position of the outer line to fight the enemy, use the Poyang Lake, the Dabie Mountain, the Mubu Mountain, and the hills and lakes on both sides of the Yangtze River to hold back the enemy, strive to fight for four to six months, and give the enemy the maximum consumption of the enemy's vital forces to achieve the goal of protracted combat......"

After the end of the military conference in Wuhan, the generals of the various theaters did not stop, and turned back their troops one after another to prepare for the upcoming battle, and the atmosphere in the entire Wuhan area suddenly became tense.

"Defend Wuhan, defend the whole of China!"

The pre-war mobilization was rapidly carried out amid the inspiring slogans, and all strata actively supported the front line, and for a time the enthusiasm for the war of resistance in Wuhan was high.

Under the call, people from all over the country threw themselves into the preparatory work, and various propaganda teams, comfort groups, engineering transportation teams, ambulance teams, fire brigades, and guide teams were set up in various areas.

Throughout Wuhan and the surrounding areas, millions of people actively participated in the excavation of trenches and rush to repair fortifications, with bright lights and non-stop work around the clock, and the entire Wuhan area became a large construction site in full swing.

In the face of the enthusiasm of the people in the Anti-Japanese War, the troops also actively trained, and the soldiers prepared for the upcoming battle.

At present, most of the provinces in the developed coastal areas have fallen, and the food and materials for the entire war of resistance are all supported by the poor areas in the western region.

In order to support the frontline of the war of resistance, the people in these areas have donated generously, donating money, materials and materials, and many people even donated most of the food they eat, making great sacrifices for the war of resistance.

Yang Ling and his men were stationed in the De'an area, and as the atmosphere of war became more and more intense, the high-intensity training was no longer carried out, and the brothers began to recharge their energy and prepare to go to the front at any time.

Although the high-intensity training was no longer carried out, in order to prevent the brothers from slacking off and maintain high morale, Yang Ling, the deputy regiment commander, organized each battalion to carry out a series of team activities.
