The October night was already a little chilly, but the war room of the Wuhan Military Commission was still brightly lit.

The senior staff and staff officers went in and out, constantly summing up the situation on the battlefield in various places, and soon rushed to the confidential room with new orders.

There are also staff officers who surround the huge sand table in the center of the room in the war room, constantly adjusting the strategic posture of the two sides according to the intelligence, and pulling down the mini flags and replacing them with other strongholds.

Since the outbreak of the Battle of Wuhan in June, front-line soldiers have fought bloody battles in the vast mountains, plains, lakes and swamps of four or five provinces.

In this spacious and bright Supreme Command, the busy staff and staff officers have also been tense and constantly adjusting and deploying various battlefields.

Although nearly a million Chinese troops have paid huge casualties, the devils who are attacking Wuhan from the north and south are still approaching Wuhan.

"Most of the factories and schools in Wuhan have been transferred, but the people must also be ready to evacuate at any time, if the front line is broken through by devils, we can't let Wuhan repeat the mistakes of Nanjing, otherwise we can't explain to the people."

In a well-decorated small room to the left of the war room, a senior staff member made a suggestion to the chairman.

"I know about this, and I will arrange it as soon as possible." The chairman of the committee saw the staff with tired faces and agreed.

When the chairman of the committee saw that the staff was still talking, he waved his hand to interrupt him: "You should go back and rest early, you are also very tired from running around these days."

Seeing that the chairman of the committee had given the order to expel the guests, the staff who wanted to stop talking could only leave with amusement.

Looking at the staff who shook their heads and sighed and left, the chairman walked back to the chair behind the table and sat down, rubbing his temples with his hands on the table.

The staff reminded him that he never knew that Tang Shengzhi, the commander of the Nanjing garrison, had left hundreds of thousands of people and troops to escape alone, facing the extremely vicious devils, so that he brewed the Nanjing tragedy.

Although the main culprits are the most vicious devils, they also bear a lot of responsibility, and naturally know that Wuhan cannot be allowed to repeat the mistakes of the past.

But now they have put forward the slogan of "defending Great Wuhan", and a million troops are fighting bloody battles on all fronts.

If the people are evacuated at this moment, once the news reaches the front line, it will inevitably affect the morale of the army, and once the morale of the army is dispersed, then this battle will not be able to be fought, so we can't mess up our positions now.

So now I can only transfer the factory, school and party and government organs first, after all, I said before that I would turn to Chongqing, and it is difficult for others to say anything, but once the people are gone, there is no point in defending an empty city, and as the supreme commander, he has to think about it all.

"Tuk Tuk ......"

Just when he was anxious about all kinds of complicated affairs, General Bai Chongxi, deputy chief of the general staff, stood at the door and knocked on the door with his hand.

"It's Jiansheng, please come in and speak."

When the chairman saw General Bai Chongxi, deputy chief of the general staff, he hurriedly invited him to sit down in the house.

"What is the situation in the Ninth War Zone? Is there any news from Xue Boling? ”

As soon as General Bai Chongxi sat down, the chairman of the committee asked a little impatiently.

Now the battlefields are fighting hard, and the bloody battle of Tianjia Town, which was guarded by the Fourth Army a few days ago, was still lost for more than ten days.

Nearly 20,000 officers and soldiers were all martyred, which led to serious consequences, and the last of the three defense lines on the Yangtze River was gone, and the situation was worrying.

Fortunately, the 1st Corps of Xue Yue in the Ninth Theater of the Southern Front Battlefield surrounded the 106th Division of the Devils in the Wanjialing area, which finally gave them a glimmer of hope in the haze of the sky, so he was very concerned.

"Commission, Chief Chen Cheng of the Ninth War Zone just sent a telegram, and I was about to report it to you."

General Bai Chongxi has been worried about the war on the front line these days, his eyes are deep-set, and his face is also full of haggardness.

"Oh? How's it going? The chairman hurriedly asked.

"Chief Chen Cheng said in the telegram that Xue Boling had besieged the 106th Division, but the 106th Division had strong combat effectiveness, and the besieging troops had been fighting the southern front for several months without any rest, and they were all exhausted at the moment, and it would take at least half a month to completely annihilate the 106th Division."

Hearing that it would take at least half a month to completely annihilate the 106th Division, the chairman's brow furrowed, and he got up and walked to the window.

Looking at the guards standing straight in the night, they were silent and did not speak, and General Bai Chongxi also sat there and watched him, without disturbing his thoughts.

Although half a month is not a long time for a summer of fighting, but now in order to avoid long nights and dreams, he still wants to annihilate the 106th Division as soon as possible.

"I heard that Okamura Ningji has dispatched several divisions to the Wanjialing area to relieve the siege, can the blocking troops stop it?"

After the chairman was silent for a long time, he looked back at General Bai Chongxi and asked.

General Bai Chongxi replied: "It is the 18th Army unit that is responsible for blocking the Japanese reinforcements, they have always been brave and good at fighting, and it should not be a problem to block the half moon."

"I just got the information, recently there have been Japanese warships in the sea near Guangdong, I am afraid that the Japanese army has an operational attempt to land in Guangdong, and now the Guangdong troops are all on the Wanjialing battlefield, and there is not a single soldier in Guangdong to defend it, I mean to end the Wanjialing battle as soon as possible and transfer the Guangdong troops back to defense, otherwise if the sea is lost, we will fall into greater passivity......"

Hearing what the chairman of the committee said, General Bai Chongxi was also very worried, since the fall of Shanghai, all the northern outlets to the sea have been blocked by the Japanese army.

If the only outlet to the sea is blocked again, the weapons and ammunition purchased from abroad cannot be brought back, and it will be even more difficult at that time.

"Besides, now that all battlefields are fighting hard, and the "Double Tenth Festival" is about to come, if we achieve a great victory on the Double Tenth Festival, then it will be a great encouragement to the morale of the army and the people, and our chances of winning the defense of Wuhan will be a few points higher. ”

Although the chairman of the committee had a reasonable point, General Bai Chongxi sighed and said: "The 106th Division is stronger than imagined, and we must not be in a hurry."

"There is not much time left for us, you directly send a telegram to Xue Boling, asking him to be sure to annihilate the 106th Division before October 10th to present a gift for the Double Tenth Festival!"

Seeing the chairman's unquestioning tone, General Bai Chongxi also had to agree to it.

"Commission, the 6th Division of the Japanese Army is storming Huangpo and approaching the ...... of Hankou"

While they were talking, He Yaozu, director of the Military Commission, hurriedly rushed over.

The 6th Division of the Japanese Army is a full-fledged veteran division, with complete cavalry, infantry, armored tanks and other arms, and strong strength.

Hearing that the Sixth Division was already approaching Hankou, both the chairman of the committee and the deputy chief of the general staff changed color in unison, and if Hankou was lost, it would threaten Wuhan.

"Jiansheng, you quickly go and send a telegram to Commander Li of the Fifth Theater of Operations, and ask him to immediately dispatch troops to block the 6th Division from Hankou."

"Yes!" General Bai Chongxi, deputy chief of the General Staff, hurriedly stood up, turned around and walked out.
