Let's go back and talk about Zhong Yi and the special operations team.

At this time, the special operations brigade had already chased to a small mountain village called Zhujiachong, sixty miles east of Yunwu Mountain.

Originally, with the ability of the special operations brigade, four hours would never be more than a 60-mile march, but if it was to march at full speed at the speed of a forced march, the special operations brigade would be able to run hundreds of miles in four hours! And it's still a mountain road!

However, this time is not a simple march after all, but also to find the whereabouts of the devil!

In order to find the traces left by the devils, it took a lot of time for the special operations team!

However, after chasing Zhu Jiachong, Zhong Yi knew how to chase next!

Zhu Liangcheng ordered the special operations team to rest at the entrance of Zhujiachong Village, and then said to Zhong Yi: "Ziren, let's go to the neighborhood to find traces of devils, right?" ”

"No need!" Zhong Yi shook his head resolutely and said, "Old Zhu, didn't you find out?" ”

"Discovery?" Zhu Liangcheng wiped the sweat from his forehead and said blankly, "What did you find?" ”

Zhong Yi said: "From the Du family in Yunwu Mountain, all the way to this Zhu Jiachong, the devil basically walked in a straight line, and he didn't even turn a corner!" ”

"Huh?" Zhu Liangcheng scratched his head and said, "It's really!" ”

Zhong Yi said: "So, there is a high probability that the devil will still go straight in the future!" ”

"That's right!" Zhu Liangcheng nodded and said, "I think this is very likely!" ”

"So, there's no need to look for any more traces!" Zhong Yi said, "Follow the straight line, just chase forward!" ”

"Hmm!" Zhu Liangcheng nodded heavily, and immediately shouted, "All of them, emergency gathering, emergency assembly!" ”

The special combat team members who were sitting or lying down and resting immediately trotted in front of Zhu Liangcheng and began to line up.

"No more queues!" Zhong Yi directly waved his hand to interrupt, and continued, "Target Heaven Village, full speed ahead!" ”

"Forward!" Zhu Liangcheng waved his hand and strode first, and more than 180 members of the special operations team followed, and disappeared on the rugged mountain road in just a moment.

……

At twelve o'clock in the afternoon, President Chang had lunch at the Central News Agency and came to the headquarters again.

As soon as he returned to the headquarters, President Chang asked Lin Wei to summon Chen Shi, Liu Sheng, He Yingpei, Xu Yongsheng and other senior generals to a small conference room to prepare for a meeting.

Principal Chang has not yet arrived, but several high-ranking generals have already arrived.

Whether it is He Yingpei, Chen Shi, Xu Yongsheng or Liu Sheng, all of them are full of smiles.

On the one hand, it is because the Battle of Wuhan was won and the situation of the Anti-Japanese War is very good, on the other hand, it is also because these senior generals know very well that it is time to reward meritorious deeds!

Sitting in a row, who doesn't like to divide the fruit?

Whenever merit is rewarded, it is the turn of each faction to fight for benefits!

After waiting for a few minutes, a guard shouted outside the conference room: "The principal has arrived!" ”

The senior generals attending the meeting stood up in unison, and then the figure at the door of the conference room flashed, and the same red-faced Principal Chang walked in quickly!

"Sit down!" Principal Chang walked to the main seat and pressed his hands to motioned for everyone to take their seats.

After everyone was seated, Principal Chang sat down, and then his eyes swept over the generals attending the meeting.

After a few seconds of silence, Principal Chang said: "The purpose of convening this meeting, I think you must already know very well, yes, yes, it is to deploy the next counteroffensive!" ”

In addition to Liu Sheng, the senior generals attending the meeting suddenly looked uplifted.

Principal Chang's gaze swept over Liu Sheng's face, and then said: "Since you want to counterattack, you must first make preparations, and the headline of the preparation work is the proper arrangement of the military level!" ”

Speaking of this, Principal Chang continued: "For Zhang, you can talk next." ”

"Yes, Headmaster." Liu Sheng, who was in the last seat, sighed, stood up and walked to the big map pasted on the wall, picked up the command rod and pointed at the map and said, "If you want to counterattack, the best target is undoubtedly Nanjing!" Because no matter from the political level or from the military level, the recovery of Nanjing is of the greatest significance! ”

The senior generals attending the meeting nodded yes in unison.

If you really want to counterattack, hitting Nanjing is undoubtedly the best!

If possible, it's best to take Shanghai back as well!

Of course, the senior generals here are also very clear, which is also thinking about it.

There is still a slight possibility to recapture Nanjing, but it is absolutely impossible to recapture Shanghai!

Liu Sheng said again: "In order to realize the intention of counterattacking the Japanese invaders and recovering Nanjing, the General Headquarters plans to set up the Dabie Mountain Theater!" ”

The senior generals attending the meeting suddenly lit up when they heard this, adding the Dabie Mountain Theater?

It is completely conceivable that the troops assigned to this Dabie Mountain Theater must be the elite of the whole army, otherwise how can they afford the heavy task of recovering Nanjing?

All of a sudden, all the high-ranking generals present began to move.

How much good would it be to be able to take a bite of this big cake?

After Liu Sheng finished speaking, Principal Chang continued: "Since a new Dabie Mountain Theater is to be established, the first important thing is to choose a commander-in-chief with outstanding ability, prestige and ability, do you have a suitable candidate?" ”

No one said anything, including He Yingpei and Chen Shi, and all the senior generals lowered their heads.

Because they know very well that this person is not something they can handle, unless they themselves want to be in the position.

But whether it is He Yingpei, Chen Shi, or Xu Yongchang, Chen Tiaoyuan, or Feng Yizhong, they are all like a mirror in their hearts, Principal Chang will never let them serve as the governor of the Dabie Mountain Theater!

Therefore, there is no suspense about who will serve as the commander of this Dabie Mountain Theater.

Sure enough, as soon as Principal Chang's voice fell, Liu Sheng said: "Principal, I think Jiansheng is the most suitable for the position!" ”

This is not what Liu Sheng himself meant, with his identity, in fact, he has no qualifications to advise the commander of the war zone at all!

This was actually instructed by Bai Chongbei, just now, Bai Chongbei sent him a secret telegram, asking him to speak at the meeting, recommending him to be the commander of the Dabie Mountain Theater, and said that he didn't have to worry about the rest of the matter.

"Hmm!" Principal Chang bowed his head slightly, and also recognized in his heart that Bai Chongbei should be appointed as the commander-in-chief of the Dabie Mountain Theater, on the one hand, Bai Chongbei's ability is enough, and on the other hand, his prestige is enough to convince the public, the most important thing is that in the just-concluded Xiaogan and Yunwu Mountain battles, Bai Chongbei did not reap the benefits, so he needs to be appeased.

The relationship between factions is nothing more than a compromise between trades.

After a pause, Principal Chang continued: "Then now, let's discuss the candidates for the deputy commander-in-chief, chief of staff, and chief of staff of the Dabie Mountain Theater. ”

Liu Sheng: "Principal, does this mean by asking Jiansheng?" ”

When Principal Chang heard this, a pair of thick eyebrows immediately frowned and did not squeak.
