"Good! That's great! I really didn't misunderstand this army, the combat effectiveness is even in front of the 60th Army, if there are 20 of us in such an army, why can't we expel the Japanese invaders and recover the rivers and mountains! Xue Yue's spirit was shocked. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"Yes, the Yi people are fighting to make people look at each other, should you inform the chairman of the committee of this news?" Wu Yizhi said.

"Of course, I have to inform you, plus the record of the 74th Army, this is the second division commander killed in our Ninth Theater, and the chairman of the committee was quite annoyed that I agreed to the retreat of the 58th Army without authorization a few days ago, and now it is the right time to inform him!" Xue Yue said with a smile.

"But by this time, the chairman may have fallen asleep!" Wu Yizhi frowned.

"How many times did the chairman of the committee not sleep well because of the Anti-Japanese War, but most of them were bad news, and giving him good news is enough to make him excited, and now at the meeting in Cairo, won't the chairman also increase his confidence!" Xue Yue said.

"Okay, I'm going to generate electricity!"

"Hmm!"

"Chief Xue, it's not too early, why don't you go and rest for a while, I'll just watch it here!" Wu Yizhi said.

"No, I'm so happy I can't sleep!" Xue Yue said with a smile.

......

Cairo, it was also late at night, and after a day of fierce discussions, they still did not reach their own consensus, and the chairman of the committee and the leaders of the two major powers, Roosevelt and Churchill, had one fierce discussion after another, but after all, they did not reach a point.

Facts have also proved that this is the case, the United States and Britain are most concerned about nothing more than their own interests, besides, China is a weak country, although China is very large, but the national strength is very weak, the devil knows when it will be destroyed by the Japanese, in such a situation, Britain and the United States still did not stop exploiting China, so the two sides even tore their faces and quarreled, still did not come to a common view.

In particular, the loss of Changde made the chairman of the committee face all kinds of fierce criticism and ridicule in this meeting, and also made the chairman extremely annoyed, but after all, there is no way, the big country and the big country are first of all the national strength and interests, and the second is the place of reasoning, and the truth is always within the range of the cannon. Only when we have the strength to destroy our opponents can we talk together and talk fairly and justly.

However, since the former Qing Dynasty, China has been poor and weak to the fragmentation of the Republic of China, and the warlords have been fighting each other, except for the Northeast and the Chairman of the People's Republic of China government, which still have its own military merits, most of the rest of the places have no military merits, and the national industry is also extremely weak.

Especially at the daytime meeting, Churchill even decided to give up his support for China, and said that China's army is an army piled up with sand, which is a great shame for China and a great shame for the chairman of the supreme leader of the Chinese theater of operations.

Even now, the chairman of the committee is still angry, and he has no intention of sleeping, and the surrounding officials do not dare to come forward.

"Did the chairman sleep?" Chen Cheng asked.

"Not yet, still sulking!" Lin Wei said.

Chen Cheng nodded and then knocked on the door, no one responded for a long time, Chen Cheng frowned and knocked on it again before a frustrated and weak voice sounded: "Come in."

Chen Cheng pushed the door and walked in, but saw that the chairman was staring at a map of the world at this time, and he didn't know what he was thinking, Chen Cheng stood up and saluted: "Chairman, good news!" ”

"What's the good news?" As if hearing good news, his eyes regained their brightness.

"The 58th Army forcibly crossed the Yuanshui tonight, killed the commander of the Japanese division, Yan Yongwang, killed the commander of the Japanese brigade, and killed three Dazuo, plus the previous results killed and wounded more than 10,000 Japanese soldiers, and now it is close to the suburbs of Changde!" Chen Cheng said.

"What, you say it again!" The chairman said excitedly.

Chen Cheng smiled and read the telegram again, and then the chairman sighed: "Today Churchill also said that our Chinese soldiers are made of sand, look at the results of the 58th Army, and look at their British performance in Burma, you give an order to urge the 58th Army to capture Changde as soon as possible, and all supplies are prioritized!" ”

"Yes"!

"Which unit of the 58th Army has made such a feat, I will definitely reward them well!" The chairman asked.

"It's the 31st Regiment of the 58th Army, the regiment commander is Lu Hai, they interspersed from behind enemy lines on a large scale, and rushed directly to the headquarters of the Japanese army, and it was several soldiers of the third battalion who killed the commander of the Japanese division, and their battalion commander was Li Fan!" Chen Cheng said.

"Lu Hai, why does this name sound familiar?" The chairman frowned.

"He was in the Sixty Army before, and successively participated in the Battle of Taierzhuang, the Battle of Paishi, and the First Battle of Changsha, and successively won the Order of the Blue Sky and the White Sun, the Order of Baoding, and the Order of Yunlu! Later, a year after the 60th Army returned to southern Yunnan, he and several veterans applied to fight at the front again, because of their outstanding achievements in the previous bloody battle of Yingzhu Mountain, and he was promoted to the commander of the 31st Regiment by Lu Daoyuan! ”

"After recovering Changde, they will be commended, promoted to the rank of major general, and the rest of the meritorious officers will also be promoted as appropriate!" The chairman said without hesitation.

"But according to my investigation, he is only twenty-five years old, is it a little inappropriate to become a general at the age of twenty-five?"

"Extraordinary times, extraordinary means, really capable people are what the army needs, not the so-called qualifications, and besides, we can easily pull him into our camp when we are promoted." The chairman said.

"Yes!"

"When we have another meeting tomorrow, we can get a game back!" The chairman laughed ...

The divisions advanced another ten kilometers, and the current 58th Army had already arrived three kilometers outside Changde in two ways, and the three small hills and several villages outside Changde City were also the last barrier to prevent them from rushing into Changde at this time!

The retreating two wings of Japanese troops, together with a wing, held on to these hilltop villages, and there was still a fierce battle to be fought in the future.

The sky has gradually brightened, considering that the troops have fought hard all night, so after Lu Daoyuan's various arrangements were completed, he ordered the troops to build a defensive line in situ and start repairing, after a night of bloody fighting, the soldiers were too tired, and the wounded soldiers also needed to be transported to the rear.

Moreover, after a bloody night, the consumption of ammunition was also relatively serious, and this was all a battle with the elite troops of the Japanese army, but it was not something that could be fought with three or two bullets and shells, so they also needed ammunition replenishment.

All units were digging positions, and the regiment commanders gathered here at the division headquarters to hold a meeting to discuss the core of the operation, because the new 10th division was attacking the direction of Shigui Village on the flank, so this meeting was only three regiments of the new 11th division, because Lu Daoyuan headquarters advanced command, so this meeting was also presided over by Lu Daoyuan.

Lu Daoyuan took the horsewhip and said to the map: "Now we only need to break through the last line of defense of the Japanese army to attack Changde, and Chief Xue called, the chairman of the committee was very happy to hear our telegram, and decided to send us an additional heavy artillery battalion to give priority to all kinds of ammunition!" But let's also speed up the march and be sure to capture Changde within three days! ”

"Will three days be too short, we still don't know the specific situation in Changde City!" Xiao Benyuan frowned.

"This is an order from above, we must carry it out without reservation, and do our duty as soldiers!" Lu Daoyuan's remarks were quite interesting, and he did not resolutely carry out the order, nor did he let the troops respond passively, but still left a little leeway for the departments.

"Tell me how to attack now, Lu Hai, you come first!" Lu Daoyuan directly named him.

Lu Hai stood up and saluted and said, "Commander, you and the division commander haven't said how I can talk nonsense, so let's talk about it first!" ”

"No need to be polite, you just say it!" Lu Daoyuan waved his hand and said.

"In that case, I'll just say it, and you can add more deficiencies!"

"First of all, there are three wings in front of us, and they have fortifications and commanding heights, and the strength of our new 11th Division is far from enough to attack them, so I thought of two plans, one is to wait for the whole army of the Fourth Army to successfully cross the river, and use the deterrent power of the Fourth Army to contain the Japanese troops, and we are concentrating the superior strength of the two regiments to attack the Japanese wings that occupy the first few villages."

"The second is to use roundabout tactics, two regiments attack, one regiment goes around to choose the right time to inflict heavy damage and disrupt the deployment of the Japanese army, and the remaining two regiments take the opportunity to rush into the obstruction of the Japanese army, once the whole army of the Fourth Army crosses the river, we can form a strong offensive against Changde!"

"We can't wait, if we take a detour, how will you attack in a roundabout way?" Lu Daoyuan asked.

"Take our 31st Regiment as an example, we can detour back to this hill near Changde and capture here, so that we can attack and contain the Japanese army from three directions, the front is the forward position of the Japanese army, and the back is the Japanese army in Changde City, our regiment is putting on a posture of sneaking up on Changde with a large force, forcing the defenders on the front to defend, so as to disrupt their deployment!" Lu Hai explained.

"But in this way, it is very likely that you will be besieged by the superior forces of the Japanese army, which is very dangerous, and it is not possible to destroy the whole regiment!" Xiao Benyuan said worriedly.

"We will prepare three preparatory plans, and let the capture team reconnoiter the surrounding situation, whether it is attacking or retreating, you can clearly know the situation of the Japanese army, once the Japanese offensive in front collapses, we will launch an offensive from the west gate of Changde, and the rest of the troops will launch an offensive from the south gate, so that they can attack the city of Changde, and they will have to retreat after the fourth army follows, otherwise they will be besieged by our army!"

"Commander, do you think this plan is feasible?" Xiao Benyuan asked.

"It is feasible, we will not fight a tough battle with the Japanese army, we will attack in a roundabout way so that the rest of the Japanese army can deal with it, and if we disrupt their deployment, we can use superior forces to break through their positions, I decided to follow this plan, repair one day today, all departments are ready, and the 31st Regiment quietly withdraws from the position at three o'clock in the afternoon for a detour!"

"Yes!"
