Chapter 555: The Beginning of the Great War (Fifth Update)
By eight o'clock in the morning, the test shells on the devil's side had already been fired.
"Hurry up, the devil's shelling is about to start, hide in the cannon hole!"
"Hurry up, go into the hole, hurry up, don't eat!" After the squad and platoon commanders heard the test firing of the devil's cannon, they immediately gathered their troops to enter the artillery hole.
And those commanders in the front-line command headquarters also immediately picked up binoculars and looked at the positions of the devils in front of them, and when they saw the devils in the devils' positions, they were already preparing to attack.
"Okay, I've been waiting for almost half a year, and I've finally launched an attack, come on, Lao Tzu won't believe it, Lao Tzu's army can't stop one of the devils!" A lieutenant general looked at the devil position in front of him and said to himself.
"Commander, should we order the artillery to prepare for fire!" A staff officer of a major general next to him came to the lieutenant general and asked.
"Nonsense, what do you want artillery to do if you don't plan to shoot Lao Tzu, tell the artillery, wait for the order, Lao Tzu will wait for the devil's infantry to come out before shooting, and, let the heavy artillery find the devil's artillery position, and kill him for me once he finds out, the devil has no artillery, and wants to use the ground troops to attack Lao Tzu's position, really when Lao Tzu's troops are muddy?" The lieutenant general immediately asked.
"Yes, but as soon as the heavy artillery moves, if the devil plane knows, we will definitely not fall!" The staff officer said immediately.
"You know. Lao Tzu didn't fight like heavy artillery, and the devil didn't have artillery, so he fart, besides, didn't we set up several artillery positions according to the requirements of the command.
You tell them not to move all the way, and if you finish fighting, you will withdraw for me, and if the artillery can be towed away, it will be towed away, and if it can't be towed, the people will also be withdrawn for Lao Tzu, and without the artillery Lao Tzu will find a way to go to the headquarters, and there will be no artillery Lao Tzu to get there! The lieutenant general immediately turned back to his staff officer.
"I'm going to give the order right away!" The staff officer immediately turned around and went to make a call.
After waiting for 3 minutes, almost the entire front line was covered by devil fire. The devil's cannon bombarded as if it didn't want money, and the devil's infantry in the bunker also rushed out and began to attack the hill guarded by the national army.
At the same time, at the Wuhan Headquarters, the battle reports on the front line were constantly collected to the Headquarters, and the operational staff officers under the command also marked the troops that the devils had launched an offensive on the sand table for the commanders of the Headquarters to make decisions.
"Okay, it's all moving, the devil is fighting against the water!" Hu Hao looked at the sand table on the top of the sand table where an attacking devil unit was marked, and said with a smile. The commander next to him and those generals all looked at Hu Hao.
"What, is there something in it that can't be said?" Li Zongren asked Hu Hao.
"Hehe, you said, if you were the commander of the devil, you would let the troops of the whole line attack, no, you would attack the whole line without even looking at the form of the battlefield! Can't you react to anything? Hu Hao said to Li Zongren,
But they still didn't understand that they didn't pay attention to whether the devils launched an attack on all fronts before, mainly because the previous devils attacked too fiercely. I simply don't have the energy to pay attention to whether it is a reactionary attack on all fronts!
"Still don't understand?" Hu Hao looked at Li Zongren strangely,
Li Zongren's face turned red slightly, and then he immediately shouted: "If Lao Tzu understands, what do I want you to do!" ”
"Tell us about it. What the hell is going on! We really didn't notice this problem before! Chen Cheng immediately asked, and the commander, Bai Chongxi, and the other officers all looked at Hu Hao.
"Hehe, the devil wants to fight quickly, and it should be the base camp of the devil that puts a lot of pressure on the Nanjing Command. to let them launch a full-scale attack. They want to find holes in our defenses, and as soon as a point is breached by the devils, the reserves near them will immediately follow!
Lao Tzu just can't let the devil get his way. If you want to fight against the water, Lao Tzu will let you wipe out the whole army! Hu Hao looked at the sand table and said with a wicked smile.
"You said that the devil still wants to fight quickly in the face of our 1 million troops, damn it, there is no one in his eyes!" When a lieutenant general heard what Hu Hao said, he immediately shouted.
"Niang Xipi. Greed is not enough to swallow an elephant! The commander also scolded when he heard Hu Hao say this!
"Really," Li Zongren immediately understood after looking at the deployment of the devil attack force and reserve troops on the sand table. The devil wants to find the weak point of the national army's defense through a fierce attack,
After breaking in, the reserve troops behind will follow and expand the results of the battle, which will force the other front-line troops to push on the second line of defense!
"Let's move forward with the reserves of the whole line, but remember, be careful of the devil's reconnaissance plane, and let the troops on the front line block the devil's attack during the day today no matter what, and if necessary, expose some of our artillery positions!" Hu Hao looked at the sand table and said.
Li Zongren nodded after hearing Hu Hao's words, it should indeed be deployed like this, as long as it blocks the day, the reserve troops can be leaned up at night, so that they can quickly reinforce the front line tomorrow, and they are not afraid of the fierce attack of the devils!
"Report, intelligence shows that many warships of the devils have entered the Yangtze River, and it is estimated that they will enter our defense area at noon tomorrow!" Immediately, an intelligence staff officer handed the information to Li Zongren,
After Li Zongren read it, he handed the telegram to Hu Hao, and Hu Hao gave it to Chen Cheng after reading it, and Chen Cheng and his generals began to circulate it!
"I really made you right, the devil will really launch an attack on our defense line along the Yangtze River, where do you want to break through!" Li Zongren said to Hu Hao.
"You've laid it all out yesterday, right?" Hu Hao asked. Li Zongren nodded.
"That's okay, just block it, don't let their troops land successfully in our defense line along the Yangtze River, if they really succeed, then our troops close to the Yangtze River will be attacked from the back!" Hu Hao looked at the sand table and said.
And after the commander-in-chief read the telegram. glanced at Hu Hao, now he is a little worried that he will become an opponent with Hu Hao in the future, there are many people who have said in his ears before, to get rid of Hu Hao, even if he doesn't get rid of Hu Hao, he must lock Hu Hao up, and he can't let Hu Hao go to the Eighth Route Army, if he is allowed to go back, it is tantamount to letting the tiger return to the mountain!
"Now it's up to the troops deployed by the devils in Guangzhou and the attacking troops from Shanxi!" Hu Hao looked at the sand table and said to Li Zongren,
"Well, I expect the troops in Guangzhou to land tomorrow! Because they have already arrived at the coast of Guangzhou, I really want them to land in Daya Bay! Fortunately, we have a defense over there! Li Zongren said immediately.
"No, they will land tonight, and the devils in Guangzhou will definitely land as soon as possible, and they will choose to land at my night! Let the defense troops in Guangzhou get ready, if it is possible to give the devil a hand! Hu Hao immediately shook his head and said.
"Landing tonight? Can't! Li Zongren immediately looked at Hu Hao suspiciously and said.
"Yes, there may not be many landings, but they will definitely land, and the devils urgently need to win the Battle of Wuhan. Don't forget, those devils on our front line came here with their own weapons and ammunition, and as soon as today passes, they will consume a lot of ammunition, do you think the base camp of the devils will let those divisions stop at sea to play? Hu Hao said affirmatively,
Now the devil wants to fight quickly, then he must quickly occupy Guangzhou, as long as he occupies Guangzhou, and then puts pressure in the direction of Wuhan, then the entire Wuhan defense front may collapse on the whole front!
"Immediately telegraph to the various defending troops in Guangzhou, and ask them to pay attention to the movements of the devils on the sea tonight, and once they land, they will fight!" When the commander next to him heard Hu Hao say this, he immediately ordered, and someone immediately went to send a telegram.
And Hu Hao is now worried about attacking the troops in Shanxi, although he doesn't know whether the devil really attacked Shanxi or wanted to shoot Xu Huang in Shanxi, and then go south and directly start to deal with the defenders of Henan, if it is really Xu Huang's shot, then the pressure on Henan's defense will be greater.
Li Zongren frowned and pondered when he saw where Hu Hao was, and immediately asked: "What, where is there a problem, now our defense line is still relatively stable, and we haven't received a telegram for help yet!" ”
"No, I'm worried about whether the devils who attacked Shanxi really want to attack our Eighth Road defense area, what if they make a false shot to Henan, or why didn't they attack for so long before, and now it seems that the devils in Shanxi will either attack today and tomorrow, or go directly south to Henan!" Hu Hao looked at the map and said, the sand table did not mark the movements of Shanxi devils!
"Huh? The devil's division that attacked Shanxi, can't it, a division can't do anything! Bai Chongxi next to him immediately asked strangely.
"Why doesn't it work, you look at our defenders on the Henan side, there are only 4 armies and 12 divisions, but now facing 2 divisions and a brigade,
If the division that the devil attacked Shanxi is added in and gives us a game, our defense line in Henan will be broken through immediately, and the devil will immediately wave his division south, and it will be difficult for us to block the attack of the three divisions even if we build a defensive line behind! Hu Hao immediately said to Bai Chongxi, Bai Chongxi saw Hu Hao say this, and looked at Hu Hao fiercely in his heart, but there was no expression on his face.
"Send a telegram to Commander Zhu of the Eighth Route Army, telling him that the division that dragged the devils for me can't let them go south!" The commander said immediately.
"How to delay, don't forget, the devil has been at the junction of Shanxi and Hebei with that division, and they haven't even entered Taiyuan City, they want to withdraw very quickly, and the Eighth Route Army can't drag them at all!" Hu Hao immediately pointed to the map and said.
"Niang Xipi, the devil can really do this, and he actually put a division so far away! Why didn't you say it earlier! The commander scolded after looking at the direction Hu Hao was pointing, and then said to Hu Hao.
"I'm also waiting, waiting for the devil's attack and the movement of the devils in Shanxi, and I can only see it now that I can understand it!" Hu Hao immediately quibbled.
This devil is hidden by Hu Hao for himself! Whether you can escape or not depends on the movements of the devils along the way! (To be continued......)
