De'an, in the headquarters of the First Corps, the ticking telegram was ringing non-stop, and the staff officers who had not closed their eyes all night had bloodshot eyes and were still busy nervously.

Commander Xue Yue's eyes were fixed on the huge sand table, and the miniature version of all the mountains and streams in the Wanjialing area was presented in front of his eyes at a glance.

And in this rugged mountainous area, the troops of several armies are working together to launch a fierce attack on the devils of the Songpu Division.

According to intelligence, the Matsuura Division has run out of ammunition and food, and although it has obtained some ammunition and materials by airdrop, it is certainly a drop in the bucket and cannot fundamentally solve the problem.

The troops at the front line fought all night, and standing in De'an County, they could also see the battlefield that illuminated half the sky in the Wanjialing area. General Xue Yue's heart was really bottomless.

"Report, Chief Xue, front-line battle report ......"

An intelligence staff officer with an excited face rushed to General Xue Yue with the telegram he had just received, and reported it loudly.

General Xue Yue also noticed the joy on the face of the intelligence staff officer, although he couldn't wait to read the telegrams on the front line, but he still suppressed the impulse in his heart, and still maintained his military appearance and calmness.

"Read—" General Xue Yue ordered.

"Yes!" The intelligence staff officer hurriedly unfolded the telegram and read it aloud: "After a night of fighting, our 66th Army recovered the area around Tianbusu, the 4th Army recovered the highlands southwest of Dajin Mountain and the heights east of Jianlusu, the 74th Army recovered Zhanggushan, the 91st Division recovered the nameless village northeast of Yangjia Village, and the 142nd Division recovered the highlands at the northern end of Yangjiashan......

The voice of the intelligence staff officer became more and more excited, and the voice became louder and louder, and even the guards at the door could hear it clearly.

It was not until the intelligence staff officer finished reading the telegram sent by General Wu Qiwei, the former commander-in-chief of the enemy, that the entire command headquarters was silent, and the needle drop could be heard, and it had not yet reacted from the tremendous shock.

The arrogant and arrogant Matsuura Division was beaten to the ground? The staff officers' faces were full of disbelief, but they did not doubt the authenticity of the telegram in the slightest, because it was sent by the former enemy's commander-in-chief, and it was a great crime to lie about the military situation.

"Hooray!"

I don't know who suddenly shouted, and the entire command suddenly boiled like boiling water, and broke out into huge cheers.

These staff officers from military academies also didn't care about their image at the moment, and hugged and shook hands one after another to celebrate this hard-won victory, cheering and shaking the sky, and many people left tears of excitement.

Their 1st Corps was responsible for the fighting on the southern front, and from the beginning of the fighting in June, they encountered the aggressive pressure of the devil's heavy troops.

First, the 106th Division attacked the Nanxun Line, and then the 101st Division crossed Poyang Lake to attack the Dexing Highway, the 27th Division also attacked fiercely on the Ruiwu Road, and the Maruyama Brigade of the 9th Division attacked Minshan and threatened De'an......

In the face of the endless all-out attacks of devils, their first corps was under tremendous pressure, making their heads always tighten a string, and they did not dare to relax in the slightest.

And now that their armies are about to wipe out the 106th Division of the Devils, how can they not be excited and excited.

"Chief Xue, this is an unprecedented victory, if you destroy a whole division of devils, the prestige of my First Corps will reach unprecedented heights......"

General Wu Yizhi, chief of staff, was also excited, and this great victory was like a shot in the arm for the defense of Wuhan, which greatly boosted the morale of the army and the people, and swept away the previous haze.

The devils conspired to attack Wuhan and wanted to force Chongqing to surrender by force, and this victory could also crush the devils' conspiracy.

"The officers and men of the front-line operations fought well! Let the little devils also see the determination of our Chinese soldiers to resist! Let them see, aggression comes at a price! ”

General Xue Yue said impassionedly with the telegram, everyone in the command headquarters was extremely excited, and even the atmosphere in the air became warm.

"Section Chief Zhao, you go and pass on my order, let the armies continue to strengthen the attack! Completely wipe out the Matsuura Division in one fell swoop! I'd like to see who that old devil of Okamura Ninji is crying to! ”

The victory in the first stage gave General Xue Yue hope of victory, and the troops on the front line did not disappoint him, and their heroic battles won glory for them.

"Yes!" Zhao Zili, the chief of the operations section, happily went to convey the order.

"Chief Xue, the destruction of the Songpu Division is imminent, this is a rare propaganda opportunity for us, you see?"

General Wu Yizhi, chief of staff, did not want to let go of such a propaganda opportunity and reminded General Xue Yue.

General Xue Yue also reacted after being reminded, and asked, "Well, where are the reporters from the major newspapers now?"

General Wu Yizhi replied: "They have arrived in De'an a few days ago, and they want to go to the front, but the front line has been fighting anxiously, and it is difficult to distinguish between victory and defeat, so for their safety, they have been arranged to live in the city."

"Now that our army's victory is in sight, I think we can make a big deal of propaganda to boost the hearts of our army and the people, and show the Japanese invaders the determination of the Chinese nation to resist aggression!"

General Xue Yue instructed General Wu Yizhi, chief of staff: "You go and make arrangements, let them go to the front line battlefield, and let them personally witness the great victory of our army!" Let them report it well. ”

"Yes, I'll arrange it." General Wu Yizhi said and turned around to leave.

"Wait a minute," General Xue Yue stopped General Wu Yizhi: "Tell the troops at the front that I want to capture Junrokuro Matsuura alive, and I want to see the newspaper ......."

Hearing General Xue Yue's words, General Wu Yizhi also showed a knowing smile, if the matter of capturing Junrokuro Matsuura alive is reported, not only will he be able to publicize a big victory, but I am afraid that Okamura Ningji will also be dismissed, and they are naturally willing to do such a thing that kills two birds with one stone.

Compared with the excitement and joy of the senior generals of the First Corps, the commander of the 11th Army of the Devil, Okamura Ninji, was full of gloom at the moment.

He held a telegram from the 106th Division in his hand, and the entire 106th Division now had only more than 3,000 people left in several wings, and it was compressed in an area of less than five kilometers, and it was indeed a critical moment of life and death.

However, at this critical moment, the 27th Division, which was ordered to relieve the siege, was blocked at Qilin Peak and suffered heavy losses.

I'm afraid that when they make a roundabout advance to Wanjialing, they will only have to collect the corpses of the 106th Division, these unruly division commanders, which makes Okamura Ningji feel a big headache.

"Report, General, the 101st Division telegraphed that they had captured the town of Pass and were advancing along the Dexing Highway......"

Okamura Ninji, who had a sad face, was stunned at first when he heard the news, and then became ecstatic.

"Show it to me!"
