Chapter Eighty-Nine: Differences of Opinion

The train was still moving forward, and the night was getting deeper, and the train full of soldiers was already moving at full speed, and many soldiers were leaning on each other and falling asleep, but Lu Hai was in deep thought with this amulet. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

The country has reached the most critical moment, as a soldier, he has the duty to protect his family and defend the country, but this sudden love made Lu Hai a little confused, and he didn't know how to deal with it for a while, but at this moment, Chen Liang sat down beside him from behind and said: "Don't think about it, go to sleep, I'll just watch here."

"You sleep, I'll take care of it, I can't sleep." Lu Hai said.

"Still wondering? But then again, this Qiao Miao is really good, not to mention anything else, just talking about this affection, you kid is eight lifetimes of virtue, and you are really a little too much for others!" Chen Liang said it again, but he took out a handful of fried peas and ate them.

"Standing and talking doesn't hurt your back, if it were you, what would you choose"? Lu Hai snorted coldly and said.

Chen Liang said while eating fried peas: "Actually, it's about the same, people like us may die on the battlefield at any time, it is true that this will drag her down, I understand you, but I still feel a little unbearable."

Lu Hai glared at Chen Liang and grabbed a handful of peas in his hand and ate them, and said: "If the battle is over and the world is peaceful, I will go back to marry her, if I die, it won't drag people down, so let's do it first, you hurry up and rest, don't know how to eat your broken peas"!

Saying that, Lu Hai got up and walked out towards the carriage, Chen Liang smiled bitterly: "What are you robbing of broken peas, it's really...

......

The next morning, the sky was already dark, the train finally stopped, the soldiers also got off one after another to standby, a military car had stopped at the station, Zhang Chong and Wan Baobang got on the train, the car drove in the direction of Wuhan.

The rest of the troops, led by several officers of the Central Army, camped up for dinner in a village near the station.

Zhang Chong's car drove all the way to the city of Wuhan, at this time Wuhan has been bombed many times, and it has become a war zone, the prosperity of the past is gone, replaced by layers of blockade lines.

The car drove all the way to the center of Wuhan until it reached the headquarters of the commander of the Ninth War Zone.

After getting out of the car, the two went straight inside, at this time, in the neighboring departments of the Ninth War Zone, Chen Cheng, as the supreme commander, also did not sleep all night, and the battle of Wuhan was not very optimistic.

In ancient times, it was said that there were millions of troops, but in fact there were not so many, but now that he is really in command of a million troops, Chen Cheng also feels that the burden on his body, which unites all the people of the Chinese nation, is not so easy to pick, but now even if it is not easy to pick, he can only pick it up.

Now not only is the battle on the periphery not too optimistic, even though Zhang Fakui's 31st Group Army, the 92nd Army, and the 54th Army are responsible for the defense.

However, the Japanese attack force has the 6th, 9th, 101st, 106th, and Botian detachments, and in the overall situation, the periphery of Wuhan is still under great pressure, and Yangxin is the weak point of these several armies, if there is no strong combat force stationed here, once the Japanese army breaks through from here, then Wuhan will be next.

The 60th Army was placed under the management of Wuhan before, and its combat effectiveness and elite degree were no less than his Central Army, and in Taierzhuang, the two divisions were bled in front of the 60th Army.

When Zhang Chong and the others saw Chen Cheng, Chen Cheng gave Zhang Chong a detailed introduction to the surrounding battle situation, as well as the commanders of several other armies.

After detailing the grim situation in the surrounding area, Chen Cheng said: "After you arrive in the Yangxin Zone, fortify along the highway and block the Japanese army layer by layer, and you must not let the Japanese army cross the battle line one step!"

"Yes"!

Everyone saluted in unison, but after Zhang Chong finished saluting, he frowned and said: "Sir, I think we should fortify the surrounding mountains, and it is unlikely that the Japanese army will attack us from the road"!

As soon as these words came out, many of the military uniforms in the field were a little dumbfounded, and some generals of the Central Army were obviously dissatisfied, how dare the commander of a ragtag army question the order of the supreme commander?

Chen Cheng was not annoyed, in fact, Zhang Chong's performance in Yuwang Mountain Chen Cheng naturally saw it in his eyes, and he also liked Zhang Chong, who had not been trained in the military academy system but had excellent command ability, and said happily: "Then you can talk about it."

Zhang Chong picked up the baton and pointed at the sand table and said: "Everyone, please see, the terrain around Yangxin is extremely complicated, it belongs to hilly terrain, the highway line is tortuous, and it is the rainy season, the highway is very difficult to walk, and it is very easy to be attacked by our army on such a winding road"!

"The Japanese army is very cunning, they also know that attacking from the road is not good for them, and they will not be stupid enough to let us block from the road, on the contrary, from these mountain roads, small roads, which is conducive to the concealment of the troops and can shorten the trip, and then they can bypass our defense line and play a magic soldier descending from the sky, if so, we will be flanked by the Japanese front and back, and the defense line will inevitably collapse"!

"If we set up the defensive line on the mountains and small roads, we can rely on the terrain to attack the Japanese army, and the Japanese army will not be able to bring their heavy weapons when they come from the mountain road, and then we will be able to shorten the firepower gap between our two armies"!

"You say they come from the mountain road, and they will come from the mountain road? Will the Japanese give up their heavy weapons? One of the generals sneered.

"If we station our troops in the mountains and the Japanese army comes up from the road, we don't have time to build a defensive line, so let the Japanese break through and rush through our defensive line, they can take Changsha directly, and it is not safe to arrange the defensive line in this way, and we will suffer a big loss!" A lieutenant general denied.

"Our line of defense is not far from the road, and we can also send a small number of troops to guard near the road, and send scouts to constantly reconnoiter the movements of the Japanese troops, so that we can know the movements of the Japanese troops, and now that I know the Japanese troops, they will definitely come from the mountain road"! Zhang Chong explained.

"They will come from the mountain road, how can you say that they will come from the mountain road? Experience? Intuition"? Chen Cheng asked.

"Intuition! They will definitely come from the mountain road"! Zhang Chong said firmly.

"Does Commander Zhang fight a war by intuition"? One of the lieutenant generals scoffed.

"Yes, I didn't go to a military school, I have learned the local method all these years, so I barely mixed up with a military commander, before that I was just a small division commander, before that, I was just a bandit who rose up." Zhang Chong sneered.

The officers in the field suddenly changed their faces, Zhang Chong's words were ostensibly saying that he was actually satirizing many generals present, Zhang Chong continued: "Fighting a war is a very dangerous thing, if you use common sense to speculate, then anyone can lead troops to fight, the cunning of the Japanese army is doing more than I have more contact with, even if you don't want to listen to my lesson, you should also send a certain number of troops to guard and reconnoiter on the surrounding mountains, don't let the Japanese army touch the past without knowing it."

Chen Cheng, who was on the side, also spoke at this time: "What Commander Zhang said is also reasonable, each army should send troops to guard in the surrounding mountains and forests in the area it is defending, so as to prevent the Japanese army from sneaking up on the path"!

Seeing that Chen Cheng said this, everyone had to speak: "Yes"!

...... After the meeting was dismissed, all the armies had returned to their respective units, and Zhang Chonghui issued military orders to all units of the army after arriving at the troops, and all the defense lines were built along the mountains, although there were also garrisons on the roads, but most of them were moved to the mountain roads.

And Lu Hai's task at this time is to go ahead of the army to reconnoiter the surrounding terrain in detail, according to Zhang Chong, even a small road cannot be missed.

After some preparations, Lu Hai took his battalion and rushed towards Yangxin in more than a dozen military vehicles.

Not long after they left, Zhang Chong said: "Inform the whole army that the assembly must be completed tomorrow morning, and the whole army will go to Yangxin and Pai City to set up defenses"!

"Yes"!

Zhang Chong said again: "It's not easy to walk in the rain now, your artillery regiment must take the first step, and your artillery position must be completed after our defense line is established, and then we will have artillery fire to suppress the Japanese army!"

Wan Baobang nodded and said, "Don't worry, even if the snake is dismantled and carried over, I will definitely repair the artillery position."

"Hmmm"!

After nearly a day's journey, Lu Hai and the others finally arrived in Yangxin, and after getting off the bus, Lu Hai halved the three companies of his battalion, and Zhao Jianying took Li Fan and them to investigate in the Paishi area, while he took Chen Liang and them to reconnoiter near Yangxin.

Although the war was imminent, the people in Yangxin City still hadn't evacuated, Lu Hai thought for a while and said, "A few of you go and ask if there are any people who are familiar with the terrain near Yangxin, preferably the old hunters, who are most familiar with the mountains and forests!"

"Yes"!

After doing this, Lu Hai spoke: "A few of you go to the local officials and ask him to evacuate the people quickly!" ”

"Yes"!

At this moment, Li Zheng nodded to Lu Hai, and then broke away from the team and walked into an alley.

"Go"!

Half an hour later, Lu Hai and the others came to the municipal office of Yangxin, and said to the guards: "We are the vanguard of the 60th Army, please go in and report it!"

The guard read the certificate and said, "Wait a minute, I'll go and inform."

After a while, a middle-aged man in a black suit with eyes walked out and said with a smile: "It turns out that the soldiers of the 60th Army are here, please come in."

Lu Hai said with a smile: "Military affairs are in place, it is inconvenient to stay for a long time, we are here to tell you that this place will soon become a battlefield, please evacuate the people to avoid civilian casualties."

"I see, it's been notified from above"? The man spoke.

"Well, we must evacuate the people as soon as possible, otherwise once the war starts, we won't be able to keep the people!" Lu Hai said.

"The situation is like this, it's the rainy season, even if we retreat to the mountains, it's not easy to retreat, we've said it many times, but these people just don't want to retreat."

Lu Hai frowned and said, "You gather all the representatives from all walks of life, and I will go and say it in person."

Those people had already been shot, and the people who stayed behind were ordinary people, and it was inconvenient for them to evacuate with their families, and now there is heavy rain everywhere and flash floods are frequent, so the people are not willing to leave, and I have no choice."

Lu Hai frowned and was about to speak, but he heard a sharp air defense siren suddenly sound...
