Zhang Deneng was stunned when he heard the army commander say that he wanted his troops to go down, he didn't think about it at all now, if his troops went down, the troops of the 90th Division would not be able to hold it at all, and when they got to the back, it would be even more difficult to fight, and the devil's troops would definitely strengthen their attacks, but the devils didn't have much time.

"Division commander, we can still fight, and we can still hold a position." Zhang Deneng looked at his commander and said.

"I know, you go down and rest first, and then my guard regiment and another regiment will take over your defense, and your troops will go down first. If you need support here, I'll give you orders! Ou Zhen looked at Zhang Deneng and said.

"Yes!" Zhang Deneng had no choice but nodded, and at this time, Chen Rongji, the commander of the 90th Division, also arrived here.

"Throne, why are you here?" Chen Rongji looked at Ou Zhen and asked.

"Let me take a look, how are the casualties of your division now?" Ou Zhen looked at Chen Rongji and said.

"The casualties are very large, that is, in half a day, my troops have sacrificed 2,832 people, 2,178 people have been seriously injured, and there are still about 10,000 combat troops left, the devil's combat effectiveness is very strong, if it is not for the favorable terrain, the casualties may be even greater!" Chen Rongji heard it, lowered his head and said.

"Malegobi's!" Ou Zhen heard it and scolded again.

"Junza, when will our reinforcements arrive, and what will the pursuing troops come over, if we continue to wear down like this, we won't be able to hold on tomorrow afternoon." Chen Rongji raised his head and looked at Ou Zhen and said.

"Tomorrow at noon, Ye Zhao's troops of the 66th Army will come back!" Ou Zhen said.

"Okay, I guess there will be no problem tomorrow!" Chen Rongji said.

"The key now is not the devils here, but the devils from Xiushui, they are all full divisions, more than 30,000 people are attacking the positions of your 64th Army, and now there are less than 10,000 people left on the 64th Army's side.

Their army has more than 50,000 people in 3 divisions, and now there are about 10,000 people left, and now the troops of the 70th Army have passed, and the devil has mobilized another division of troops from Nanchang, damn. The battle is getting bigger and bigger. Ou Zhen said.

"Army commander, if we can kill these divisions, then almost all the devils in Jiangxi will come out, and we may attack the devils in Jiangxi at that time." Zhang Deneng said.

"That's what the commander is going to do, he plans to mobilize the troops of the 3 armies again to come over, kill those devils here, and then attack and recover Jiangxi." Ou Zhen said with a smile.

"That's fine, that's great!" Chen Rongji and Ou Zhen nodded and said.

And at this time in Xi'an. Commander Chiang also listened to Li Zongren's analysis of the situation of the battle at this time. "The troops of the 70th Army have gone up, and according to the report of the 64th Army, the reinforcements of the devil have probably suffered about 10,000 casualties, that is, plus the division that came over from Nanchang,

Now in the east of Pingjiang, there are more than 50,000 devils, and Xue Yue's side is ready to mobilize three armies with a total of 150,000 people to meet the enemy. If Hu Bin and Wei Lihuang's troops can quickly reach the Pingjiang side, then Xue Yue's troops will take the initiative to attack this time. Kill the troops that the devils came to reinforce, and at the same time start the battle to recover Jiangxi. Li Zongren said to Commander Jiang.

"Okay, very good, I didn't expect that Hu Bin would be able to recover 2 provinces with one move this time. Not bad, very good! Commander Jiang heard this and nodded with great satisfaction.

"The most important thing is that Hu Bin will not be able to go out in the future, if we control Jiujiang. Hu Bin's troops are locked up in Hubei! He Yingqin said.

"Hmmm! ~" Commander Jiang nodded, and the others didn't know what he meant.

"What's the use of being locked up in Wuhan, Wei Lihuang's troops will give way to me at any time!" Jiang Dingwen said on the side. The other generals heard it, but pretended not to hear it.

Commander Chiang heard it and did not speak. He can't say anything yet, but he knows that Jiang Dingwen wants to control Henan!

But the location of Henan is critical, the Pinghan Railway is an important line of communication, if it is controlled by the devils, their troops can go south to attack Wuhan at any time, for this matter, he must consider, when Wei Lihuang was in Henan, the line was well controlled, but now that the people have been replaced, Commander Jiang doesn't know if they can control it well. Therefore, he was also hesitating to replace Wei Lihuang.

"Commander, there is one more thing, I hope you can send a telegram to Commander Wei and Hu Bin, if you defeat Anan's only few troops, can you continue to advance eastward. Cooperate with Xue Yue's troops to attack Jiangxi! Li Zongren looked at the commander and said.

"Yes, when they raid in, I'll give them the battle order." Commander Jiang nodded and said. Li Zongren heard it, nodded and said.

"Okay, you all go down, Li Zongren, He Yingqin, Chen Cheng, the three of you stay!" Commander Jiang stood there and thought for a moment, and said to the other generals,

Soon, there were only four of them left in the conference room.

"Tell me, how should Wei Lihuang be arranged, is he really going to be transferred to the General Staff?" Commander Jiang looked at the three of them and said. Li Zongren and the three of them heard it and looked at each other.

"I want to listen to the truth, and put aside the contradictions between you personally!" Commander Jiang looked at them and asked.

"If you want to transfer away, he is very close to Yan'an over there, and it is not safe." He Yingqin said. Commander Jiang heard it, nodded, and looked at Chen Cheng.

"I wonder if we're going to listen to Commander Wei's explanation why he did this? It's better to be cautious, after all, Commander Wei has meritorious service in guarding Henan, and he also has great merit in this reconquest of Wuhan, if he is transferred back without explanation, I am afraid that he will have an opinion. Chen Cheng said more pertinently.

"I'm against it! I don't agree to change back to Commander Wei, the Pinghan Railway is very important, Commander Wei is guarding Henan, and at the same time controlling Wuhan, which is very helpful for Wuhan, if Xue Yue lays down Jiujiang this time, then Wuhan's position is even more critical, and there is no room for loss,

It's not that I don't believe in the ability of other generals, but if I change generals now, I may make the entire defenders of Henan have opinions in their hearts, and once the devil raids Henan a year later, I don't know if other people can hold it, but I know that Wei Lihuang can hold it, because even if he can't hold it, he will ask Hu Bin for help, and Hu Bin will definitely send troops to help Wei Lihuang fight. Li Zongren opened his mouth and said that he did not agree with Wei Lihuang's transfer back, and there was a relatively big risk to the situation in Henan and Central China.

"I don't think this, other generals can't hold it, they all have a lot of command experience, plus Hu Bin can sell weapons to us now, and the combat effectiveness of the troops in Henan will be stronger at that time!" He Yingqin said.

"If Jiang Dingwen and Liu Zhi were in the past, would Hu Bin still sell weapons to them? Doesn't Hu Bin know that the two of them have a big contradiction with him, he is not stupid, you see, now Jiang Dingwen has got a weapon of Hu Bin? If you look at Wei Lihuang's troops, they are the ones equipped with the most new weapons, can't you see it in this? Li Zongren looked at He Yingqin and asked rhetorically.

"Then what if Commander Wei has the idea of leaning towards Yan'an, do you dare to take this risk?" He Yingqin looked at Li Zongren and said.

"Dare, I believe in Commander Wei's character, and I also believe that Commander Wei is loyal to the commander-in-chief, and he is also loyal to our party!" Li Zongren said.

"There is no doubt about this, Hui Shan (Wei Lihuang's character) will not betray the party, I am sure of this, I am worried that Yan'an will use his benevolence to Yan'an to let him go further and further, so I transferred him back,

However, I won't let him go for too long when he is transferred back, and when the opportunity is right, I still have to let him go, I still know and trust Hui Shan's ability to fight. Commander Jiang immediately spoke.

"So, I don't approve of transferring Commander Wei back, it's very risky, the devils don't have many troops in China now, but, commander, don't forget, the devils have more than 1 million troops outside the pass, once they go south to Beiping, commander, think about it, can you still hold on to Henan?" Li Zongren looked at the commander and persuaded again.

"Well, this is a question to consider." Commander Jiang nodded when he heard Li Zongren say this, but he had already squeezed out Liu Zhi and Jiang Dingwen in his heart, and it was impossible for them to take over Henan's defense, so they could only re-elect people, but Wei Lihuang must be transferred back, not in Henan!

However, the current Wei Lihuang didn't know at all, the commander was still discussing the question of his whereabouts, and he was now standing in the headquarters with Hu Bin, watching Hu Bin's troops attack the devil's second line of defense in the distance, the tank troops played the vanguard, the infantry fought together, and at the same time, the artillery units launched an artillery bombardment on the mountain.

"According to your style of play, the devil won't last long. I have to say that the firepower and combat ability of your troops are much stronger than mine! Wei Lihuang looked at Hu Bin and said.

Hu Bin heard it, smiled and said: "It's almost impossible now, in this operation, my troops have suffered too many casualties, they have all suffered more than 100,000 casualties, and now these soldiers are all soldiers of the reserve army!" ”

"Well, I can see that these soldiers are not skilled in cooperating with each other, but there are many veterans, and under their leadership, there is no problem." Wei Lihuang looked ahead and said.

"It's all up to the veterans!" Hu Bin nodded and said.

"Boom, boom, boom!" At this time, the shelling in front was still continuing, and the tank troops, while driving forward, opened fire on the places where the devils had heavy machine guns, fired straight over, and bombarded the heavy firepower of those devils. (To be continued.) )
