According to intelligence, the strength of the Japanese 11th Army is now almost 45,000 men.

After the cancellation of the number of the Sixth Division, there were no new divisions for the time being.

At present, the 11th Army has the 33rd Division and the 106th Division.

Although the Nara Detachment and the Saeda Detachment were temporary units, they were not disbanded and were still retained.

Their new ranks have not yet been replenished.

After all, it takes a lot of time to recruit troops from within the island country and transport them over.

At present, there are about 30,000 Japanese troops in Wuhan, and there are about 45,000 people with the baggage guard of the Second Division.

There was a detachment of the Japanese army in Linxiang, almost more than 10,000 people.

Many of the weapons of the Eleventh Army have not yet been delivered.

Airplanes, in particular, are still nowhere to be seen.

If you want to pose an air threat to Changsha, you need at least more than 100 aircraft.

This is not a small pressure for the island nation.

Their aircraft production lines are now stepping up the production of carrier-based aircraft.

The aircraft used by the Army, only one production line remained.

Although it has been in continuous production, it is far from keeping up with the demand for use.

So far, the planes that can be used by the Eleventh Army are still those twenty-two.

The small number is pitiful.

Li Lei felt that the 11th Army of the Japanese Army had not yet recovered its combat effectiveness, and that it should take the initiative to attack.

Kill them.

In this way, not only Changsha will be held, but even Wuhan will be recaptured.

Retake Wuhan!?

Li Lei's words made the tiger boy excited.

If Wuhan can be recaptured, the entire battlefield situation will change dramatically.

Wuhan is an important military industrial city.

It is also a transportation hub.

Strategic location is very important.

The loss of Wuhan made the entire anti-Japanese war situation very passive.

If Wuhan can be recaptured, it will be a heavy blow to the Japanese army.

The Japanese Eleventh Army, now with the Second Division of the Baggage Army, numbered almost 55,000 men.

And now in the Ninth War Zone, there are almost 200,000 troops that can be mobilized.

Hunan also had two armies directly under the command of Chongqing, the Twentieth Army and the Fifty-ninth Army.

With the addition of these two armies, the entire Hunan army has almost twenty-four people.

Fighting a battle with Anan's only few 55,000 people, the hope of winning is still very great.

Moreover, now that the Japanese army is in Linxiang, there is a detachment of troops, which can completely concentrate superior forces and eat him while Anan Weiwei has not reacted.

In this way, it can not only kill a part of the Japanese army, but also transfer Anan Weiji's troops in Wuhan.

A direct attack on Wuhan is unrealistic.

But if Anan's troops are transferred out, it will be easier to fight.

Moreover, when the Japanese army in Wuhan was empty, it was completely possible to send a force to attack Wuhan.

If the effect is good, it is not impossible to recapture Wuhan.

The more the tiger cub thinks about it, the more excited he becomes, and the more he thinks about it, the more excited he becomes.

If he can succeed, then his name as a tiger boy will be praised internationally.

It's a bold idea.

Tiger Boy asked Chief of Staff Wu's opinion.

Lao Wu also feels that the possibility of success is not small.

Anan Weiji definitely didn't expect that they would take the initiative.

Not to mention that they would not only have to kill the 11th Army of the Japanese army, but also recapture Wuhan.

Tiger Boy, Lao Wu, Li Lei, and Zhao Gang, the four of them designated a battle plan overnight, in order to be able to attack Anan Weiji at the fastest speed.

A week later, the battle plan was completed, and Tiger Boy secretly sent the battle plan to the old bald man in Chongqing.

To be on the safe side, he sent it himself.

The plan was so bold that he had to present it to the old bald head.

Handed over to others, he is not at ease.

And for the sake of secrecy, Tiger Boy believes that this battle plan should not be known to anyone except the old bald head.

Chongqing, but there are a lot of spies for the Japanese army.

Even his own headquarters was mixed in with spies, not to mention Chongqing.

If the plan is leaked, it will be a devastating blow to the entire Ninth War Zone.

He pulled most of his troops out to fight, and the guards of Changsha would be very vulnerable.

If the Japanese army suddenly reinforces the Eleventh Army from other places, the rear of the Ninth Theater of Operations will be in danger.

Late at night.

The official residence of the old bald head in Chongqing.

The tiger boy came in the dust.

Originally, Tiger Boy wanted Li Lei to come with him.

Because of this plan, many details were put forward by Li Lei.

It gave Tiger Cub a lot of inspiration.

He thought that if the old bald man questioned this plan, he could add it if he couldn't explain it properly.

But Li Lei refused without hesitation.

It was a surprise to the tiger cub.

Li Lei's meaning is very clear, I am a unit of the Eighth Route Army, and I only listen to our chief.

Moreover, if he is remembered by the people of the military and the central government, then his life will not be easy.

In fact, Li Lei thought too much, and the military commanders and the central commanders had already paid attention to him.

Such a person who can fight, the old bald head has already sent someone to secretly monitor him.

However, because Li Lei's troops couldn't get in at all, it had no effect.

The old bald head was pacing back and forth in his little reception room.

My eyes twinkled, and I didn't know what to think again.

He also had a map in his reception room.

He walked for a while, and there were words in his mouth.

Tiger Boy called and said that he had an important battle plan that was related to the overall situation and wanted to state it in person.

He was taken by surprise.

An important battle plan?

Now the 11th Army of the Japanese army is stepping up its rest. In the near future, there should be no offensive plans against Changsha.

And now, his negotiators are making false promises with the island nation to stall for time.

In order to delay the Japanese attack on Changsha as much as possible, so that the troops of the tiger boy can get the maximum rest.

Now that Tiger Boy suddenly has a major battle plan, what can it be?

He thought about it for a long time, but he still didn't figure it out.

According to the time, the tiger cub should be almost there.

Sure enough, after a while, his attendant hurriedly came to report that General Tiger Boy had arrived.

After the tiger boy came in, he saluted a military salute straightly: "Bench, please forgive me for disturbing me late at night." ”

The old bald head said happily: "Nothing to disturb, I've been waiting for you." Come, tell me, you came here in person this time, what is the important battle plan? ”

Tiger Boy said: "Regain Wuhan." ”

What the!?

Hearing the words Tiger Boy, the cane in the old bald man's hand almost fell to the ground.

Reconquest of Wuhan?

Right now?

He looked at the tiger cub incredulously, wanting to see if he had a fever.

Reconquest of Wuhan?

We don't have that at the moment.

Being able to hold Changsha is already an unexpected joy, and it is absolutely impossible to recover Wuhan.

Wuhan had just been captured by the Japanese army, and the 11th Army of the Japanese army was there.

The combat effectiveness of the Eleventh Army, you Tiger Boy has learned.

Recovering Wuhan, our troops, can defeat the 11th Army of the Japanese army?

However, he didn't say it, but said to Tiger Boy: "Tiger Boy, tell me what you think." ”

Although he said so, in his heart, he had already decided, and when the tiger boy finished speaking, he would directly reject his battle plan.

Reconquest of Wuhan?

It's easier said than done!

Tiger Boy heard the tone of the old bald man and knew that he didn't think the plan was feasible.

He had expected this.

Because the plan to recover Wuhan is too shocking.

But he believed that when he had heard his plan, he would agree.

Tiger Boy started from preparing to attack Linxiang and slowly told him about his whole big plan.

From the mobilization of troops, to the allocation of firepower, to the judgment of the Japanese army, a lot of the same was said.

The more the old bald man listened, the more frightened he became, and the more he listened, the more he felt that the tiger boy's plan had the possibility of being realized.

Originally, he thought that the tiger boy might have won the battle of Changsha, so his heart swelled.

But now it seems that the plan formulated by Tiger Cub is obviously well thought out.

The feasibility is very large.

If the war goes well, the recovery of Wuhan is really not an empty word.

Tiger boy, the great talent of the country!

An hour later, Tiger Boy gave him a rough overview of his entire plan.

The old bald man listened unusually carefully.

Ask some details from time to time.

Tiger Boy replied very carefully.

"Tiger Boy, I approve this plan of yours! You immediately return to Changsha and command this great battle.

If the recovery of Wuhan can be successful, it will be a great blessing for the country.

You are a tiger boy, and you are also a hero of the country. ”

The old bald head was unusually excited.

The plan is very detailed and pragmatic.

According to Tiger Boy's prediction, the possibility of recovering Wuhan is very high.

If Wuhan can be recovered, the entire battlefield situation will be greatly beneficial to them.

Moreover, it has also impressed countries around the world.

When the time comes, the Japanese army will receive more military aid.

"Bench, this plan, Li Lei is an important participant. I

And his troops will also attack one of the main forces in Wuhan. I hope that the Commission will allocate some heavy weapons to them.

This will be of great help to our plan to regain Wuhan. ”

The attack on Wuhan required not only troops, but also weapons.

Now on the whole, there is a great shortage of heavy weapons in the Ninth Theater of Operations.

In the entire Ninth Theater, except for the Eighth Army and the Seventy-fourth Army, the equipment of other units was unsatisfactory.

This is bearable.

But Li Lei's troops really need to strengthen their firepower.

In the plan, Li Lei's troops, as a surprise army, will launch a surprise attack on Wuhan when the Japanese 11th Army is deep in northern Hunan.

The 2nd Division on the offensive and defensive side of Wuhan.

In other words, siege battles.

If you don't have enough heavy firepower, it won't be easy to take down Wuhan.

Li Lei's troops are now comparable in firepower to the Eighth Army.

But what Tiger Cub needs is a stronger force.

A unit that left the Japanese defenseless to fight back.

Li Lei's troops also fought a blitzkrieg.
