The 11th Army of the Japanese invaders was sent two divisions to the south to participate in the Battle of Hong Kong.

The British troops defending Hong Kong appealed to the Republic of China government for help, and the Military Commission ordered the transfer of the Provisional Second Army and the Fourth Army, and the 74th Army went south to Liangguang to support the Hong Kong campaign.

Such a transfer meant that Xue Yue's Ninth Theater suddenly lacked the strength of three armies.

"Chief of Staff, what does the command mean? At this critical moment, the three armies will be transferred south, isn't this a draw from the bottom of the kettle? Changsha doesn't want it? No, I will personally call and ask. ”

Xue Yue is a man of action, as soon as the voice fell, the phone over there had already been picked up, and two numbers were dialed, Wu Yizhi hurriedly pressed his hand and said: "We do transfer three armies to the south, but the Japanese Eleventh Army will also transfer two divisions to the south." ”

"Is the message exact?"

"Absolutely reliable, we sent it back from the inside line of the Japanese army base camp. ”

"That means that we and the Japanese army are still about the same strength. ”

"That's right. ”

"No, if Anan Weiji thinks that we still have the strength to fight, he will not make a move against Changsha soon, we must let him underestimate our combat strength, and release the news of the mutiny of the Tenth Army in the early stage, I believe it should affect his judgment, we must add another fire." ”

"What do you want to do?"

"In this first scene, we are singing about the mutiny of the 358 regiment, and the generals are not in harmony. Then in this second big scene, let's sing the three armies go south to Hong Kong. ”

"Do you mean to publicize the news of our three armies going south with great fanfare, so that the Japanese invaders know?"

"That's right, let the newspapers publicize it and let the citizens say goodbye is to let Anan Weiji know that our strength is further weakened. After learning that we had been transferred to three armies, he would definitely be able to occupy Changsha with confidence. Well...... Wait a minute, I think there is one more thing that should be added. ”

"What else should I add?"

"The second battle was because I underestimated Anan and he was the only person, and his mind was still very delicate. If we can spread the news of the southward movement of the three armies from the mouths of his intelligence officers, and then publish it in the newspapers, I believe that he will definitely believe it. Call Lu Yunze, the chief of our intelligence department. ”

Two minutes later, Lu Yunze stood in front of Xue Yue.

"Yun Ze, I'll give you a task. You have to find a way to convince the devil's intelligence officer, Reporter Chen. It was no accident that the three armies went south. Instead, someone above deliberately transferred the three armies of the Ninth Theater to the south. ”

Lu Yunze was stunned for a moment, and then immediately reacted.

"Yes. Rest assured, sir, I promise to complete the task. ”

Wu Yizhi smiled and said, "You are really bad enough." This intelligence officer mistakenly believed that the transfer of the three armies from the Ninth Theater was deliberate. It's to give you eye medicine. With Anan's somewhat suspicious personality, this information is more credible and can withstand his scrutiny. ”

"That's right, when the newspaper of our farewell to the three armies has been published, he will definitely believe it to be true in combination with intelligence. ”

"The problem is that it's true, he believes, but we do have three corps transferred to Hong Kong. Unless you can get these three troops back. ”

Xue Yue stood up, touched his belt and said, "It's definitely not possible to get all three armies back, no matter what, they are allies and comrades with Britain now." Not a single army can support it. But the Fourth Army and the Seventy-fourth Army, I must find a way to stay. Come with me, Chief of Staff, and let's go meet with these two commanders. ”

Ou Zhen, commander of the Fourth Army, and Wang Yaowu, commander of the 74th Army, had been waiting at the gate of the garrison for a long time. After meeting Xue Yue and Wu Yizhi, they will go south to support Hong Kong.

"Brother Ou Zhen, the two of us are about to go south, and Chief Xue wants to see us at this time?

"I've been thinking about it for a long time, and the only thing I've come up with is that this time is not just for you and me. ”

"Haha, you're. ”

At this time, Xue Yue and Wu Yizhi had already arrived, and after getting out of the car, Xue Yue said, "You two are chatting quite lively, let's go in and talk." ”

After listening to Xue Yue's words, Wang Yaowu and Ou Zhen glanced at each other. They all saw surprise and hesitation in each other's eyes.

"What, what I just said scared you two?"

"Chief Xue, that's not it, I'm just worried that this matter will be known to the principal, and you are responsible. ”

"Wang Yaowu, are you worried that I will be responsible, or are you afraid that you will be punished?"

Wang Yaowu was a little embarrassed by Xue Yue's scolding, and glanced at Ou Zhen.

Ou Zhen hurriedly said: "Don't look at me like that, as long as you dare to do it, I will dare." ”

Wang Yaowu said hesitantly: "I think this matter should be cautious, or you should think about it again." ”

After hearing this, Xue Yue's face suddenly turned cold, and he got up and said, "Chief of Staff, let's go, it seems that we are looking for the wrong person." Let's not embarrass others. ”

Wang Yaowu saw Xue Yue say this, and hurriedly got up to stay: "Chief Xue, don't leave yet, let's discuss it later." ”

"Wang Yaowu, for this battle of Changsha, I have completely disregarded my life, and I have also said that I will bear all the responsibility for the matter, you two are still timid, what else is there to discuss. You guys are really far behind that old guy from Li Yutang. ”

"Chief Xue, wait a minute. Humble is asking one thing. As long as Chief Xue can explain the reason, he will not hesitate to go to the soup and fight the fire. Ou Zhen, the commander of the Fourth Army, said suddenly.

"You ask. ”

"Sir Xue, since you think this is conducive to the war, why can't you directly ask for the commission? ”

"I don't ask for a seat directly for two main reasons. First, the commission will never agree to my plan until the battle has begun. But this is the most important part of the battle, and I am not willing to give up. Second, I have enemy intelligence agencies operating on my side, and I don't want to leak secrets too soon. ”

"Okay, Chief Xue, I understand what you mean. As long as I can defeat the Japanese invaders, I, Ou Zhen, am willing to risk my life to fight with you. Resolutely carry out your orders. Wang Yaowu saw that Ou Zhen had already expressed his position, and he hurriedly expressed his obedience.

In fact, Xue Yue came to Ou Zhen and Wang Yaowu to make them make the illusion that they had gone south, but secretly they had to wait for the order to return to Changsha.

This is why Wang Yaowu and Ou Zhen hesitated at the beginning, the risk is too great, it is good that the battle of Changsha is won, if it is defeated, the two of them did not follow the orders of the Supreme Command to support Hong Kong, which is a big crime of killing.

Xue Yue came to find two people to intercept two armies, which was also a felony. So now the four people in the house are pinning their heads on the victory of the Battle of Changsha.

The Ninth Theater Command cooperated with Lu Yunze in holding a press conference for Chinese and foreign reporters, ostensibly to thank the reporters for their support for the Battle of Changsha, but in fact there were only two protagonists in this reception, one was Lu Yunze, and the other was the enemy special reporter. At this reception, Lu Yunze pretended to be depressed. In the form of drunkenness, the task given to him by Xue Yue was completed.

It is believed that in the near future, the news of the southward movement of the three armies of the Ninth Theater will reach the ears of Anan Weiji.
