If people who are familiar with Luo Zhuoying see that he is so good at talking today, they will definitely be shocked and their jaws drop, is this still the general Luo who paid attention to mercy and did not control the army in the past.

However, after the two requirements put forward by Su Jin and the two were satisfied, Su Jin finally said: "Chief Luo, there is still something I want to explain to you in advance, after this cover mission, we hope to decide the direction of retreat on our own and go to the commander's approval." ”

"That's ......" Luo Zhuoying agreed after a deep sigh, "No problem, I can promise you now." ”

"Well, since that's the case, it's decided."

Things were quickly settled, Luo Zhuoying quickly left, and after Luo Zhuoying left, the Independent Brigade also began to get busy......

On October 25, 1938, under the persuasion of Bai Chongxi, Chen Cheng, and many other senior staff, the members of the CPPCC finally decided to abandon Wuhan, and the Nationalist Government and the army once again began a tragic migration.

On October 26, the Japanese Taiwan Brigade broke through to Wuchang City from Binyang Gate, and on the 27th, the 60th Wing of the Japanese Army crossed the Yangtze River and occupied Hanyang.

At this point, it can be said that the Battle of Wuhan has basically ended, in this battle the Japanese army killed more than 130,000 people, nearly 100,000 casualties, it stands to reason that after paying such a large number of casualties, the Japanese army has been unable to launch a new offensive, but some of the Japanese generals who have killed the red eyes continued to pursue the retreating Chinese army without orders, and when they chased to the vicinity of Xiaogan, they were strongly blocked by the national army......

On 28 October, the commander of the 11th Japanese Army, Okamura Ninji, under the protection of the Guards, visited the main neighborhood of Wuhan. Impermanence's main buildings have been reduced to rubble, and groups of Chinese civilians are clearing the streets under the threat of bayonets.

At this time, Okamura was not as gloomy as he had been a few days ago, and a smug smile appeared on his face as he looked at the wood still smoking on both sides of the street. He couldn't wait to clear the streets and took a car to admire his masterpiece.

Since the war against China, what battle could be more beautiful than the capture of Wuhan? Needless to say, Taierzhuang was defeated, and Xuzhou mobilized hundreds of thousands of people to find the main force of the national army for a decisive battle. But it was a no-brainer, and there was almost no strategic gain. The exhibition in the Songhu area was fought hard, with several additional troops in the middle, more than 100,000 dead and wounded, such a victory as a real military strategist is not worth boasting of, it is like a crappy tailor occasionally putting together a beautiful blouse.

Wuhan was different, and the two sides of the battle invested more than 1 million troops in an area that stretched thousands of miles and lasted more than five months. After a battle of wits and courage, the victory was finally achieved. Although there were some changes in the middle, and they were put together by the damn Jingguan Brigade in Xiaojinshan, but these are not important compared to the final victory of the Wuhan Campaign, as the main commander of this exhibition, Okamura Ningji should naturally be proud.

Isn't it this kind of success that you aspire to as a commander? And there are not many chances of such success, and the capture of Wuhan is undoubtedly a big milestone from here. The road ahead is paved with gold, and Okamura Ninji, who has always been cautious, can't refuse the joy of such a huge success, even if he has to get carried away once.

Okamura's main purpose in inspecting the neighborhood was to see who would be the opponent in this battle. The location of Chairman Chiang's command organ -- the Wuchang Military Commission of the Republic of China. He looked at the bombed-out courtyard in front of him, was stunned for a moment, and walked in with a command knife. None of the hundreds of defenses in the huge courtyard are intact, and there are several large bomb craters in the courtyard. , like a plum blossom opening towards him. The ground was littered with discarded waste paper, and Okamura picked up a newspaper. I saw a line of bold letters on the column: The defenders swore to live and die together in Wuhan. He didn't read the content, so he threw it away, looked up to the sky and laughed. The retinue stood on both sides, quietly waiting for the commander's instructions, but Okamura Ninji suddenly put away his laughter and turned around and walked out of the courtyard.

When he reached the courtyard gate, he stopped, turned around again, squinted his eyes, looked at the sun hanging obliquely in the west, and his eyes fell on the wooden sign on the wall next to the courtyard gate. He walked over to the wooden sign, which was more than half a foot wide and more than one person long, and his attendants hurriedly flashed to both sides and watched him carefully remove the wooden card. Okamura stretched out his hand and gently stroked the words "Republic of China", as if playing with a work of art, and shouted in his mouth: "Yo Xi, Yo Xi!" ”

Suddenly, Okamura Ninji raised the wooden sign, slammed it to the ground, and then walked up and lifted his right foot in leather boots to step on the wooden sign, and said word by word: "Send a report to the base camp, from the 25th of this month, the national government has been equivalent to the local government!" ”

As Okamura Ninji's voice fell, the surrounding entourage also shouted: "His Majesty the Emperor is half loaded...... Half ......"

Just as everyone was chanting slogans, a young man ran over out of breath, but was stopped by Okamura's personal attendant. Okamura waved his hand when he saw the comer, signaling his entourage to let him go.

He then said to the visitor: "Miyamoto-kun, what happened, why are you so flustered?" ”

The person who came was Miyamoto Ichiro in the war room, and I saw him say anxiously: "Your Excellency Commander, the 27th Division has come to report that when they were pursuing the Shina Army to the vicinity of Xiaogan, they were counterattacked by a large number of Shina troops, and the 27th Division is now in a bitter battle. The 63rd Wing was even attacked by the Zhina Army in Maochen Town, and now it has lost more than half of it, and the division commander, Lieutenant General Yamashita Fufumi, sent an urgent telegram requesting urgent tactical guidance! ”

"Nani ......"

Okamura Ningji's first reaction was how could this be possible, the current national army has retreated one after another, how can anyone dare to launch a counterattack against the imperial army, this is not scientific!

Okamura asked with a calm face, "Have you checked the number of the Shina army?" I wonder who has the guts? ”

Miyamoto Ichiro hesitated for a moment and said, "It is the Nineteenth Army led by Luo Zhuoying of China. ”

"Luo Zhuoying?" Okamura nodded and then showed a hint of surprise: "I know this general of China, he is known for his bravery, good fighting and good at defense, but what I don't understand is how dare he lead his troops to launch a counterattack against the imperial army?" Isn't he afraid of being surrounded? After all, there is a large army of the Empire behind the 27th Division? ”

Miyamoto Ichiro's face showed a mixture of anger, shame, and horror at this time, and he took a deep breath before saying: "The Chinese army that launched a counteroffensive against the 63rd Wing is not the 19th Army, but the independent brigade of the Chinese Army!" ”

"Pop ......"

As Miyamoto Ichiro's words fell, I don't know who stepped on a tile on the ground, making a crisp sound, and then Okamura Ninji's voice with murderous intent slowly sounded: "Are you talking about the "Jingguan Army"? ”

"Hay!" There was a hint of shame in Ichiro Miyamoto's voice: "It's the independent brigade led by Su Jin!" ”

"Bagaya deer!"

Okamura Ninji's angry voice rang out, "It's that force again, how dare he...... They dare to attack the Imperial Army again! ”

Seeing that his own commander was angry, and the surrounding entourages were silent one by one, and Ryokugawa Okamura Ninji suddenly burst out laughing, and his voice gradually became hideous: "Jingguan troops...... Su Jin! There is an old saying in China, there is a way in heaven, you don't go and hell has no door, you come in, do you really think that after a few victories, the imperial army will be helpless against you? Since you are in such a hurry to jump out, let Xiaogan be your grave! Pass on my order, immediately the 6th and 9th Divisions immediately put down everything at hand and march towards Xiaogan, and we must wipe out this Su Jin and the 19th Group Army! Also, immediately send a telegram to the 3rd Air Division to immediately bomb Mao Chen Town, I want to see how hard the bones of this Jingguan army are! ”

"Hay!" The surrounding officers bowed to Okamura one after another, and many of them had hideous smiles on their faces......

At the same time that Okamura Ningji gave the order, in Maochen Town, which was more than 20 kilometers away from Xiaogan, Su Jinzheng commanded the 2nd Regiment and the 3rd Regiment to launch a fierce attack on the 63rd Wing of the Japanese Army from the left and right directions respectively, and one shell after another flew towards the Japanese position as if they had eyes.

"Day...... Boom ......"

"Boom, boom, boom......"

The heavy artillery fire almost overturned the position of the 63rd Wing, and the remaining Japanese troops could only lie on the ground and dodge the artillery fire hard, and there was no way to raise their heads to fight back.

Captain Takeshita Ono Osa of the 63rd Wing raised his head from the crater with difficulty, spitting out a mouthful full of dust. Looking left and right, there were violent explosions everywhere, and he could hear them clearly, the softer ones were the sounds of 60 or 81 caliber mortars, and the ones that made violent explosions were the explosions of the opponent's heavy mortar shells.

Looking at the sound of the soldiers around him lying on the ground one by one with their heads buried on the ground and not daring to raise their heads, Takeshita Ono was as bitter as if he had eaten almost Coptis chinensis in a row.

He felt that he must have forgotten to look at the yellow calendar when he got up today, it must be like this. The 27th Division is a new division that has just been formed at the beginning of this year, and the division commander is General Yamashita Fengwen, who is known as the brave and brave, since the Chinese army has fully retreated from Wuhan, Yamashita Fengwen has led the 27th Division to pursue the Chinese army fiercely, and the 63rd Wing, as the main force of the division, is the first to take the lead, this morning the reconnaissance unit reported that Mao Chenzhen on the opposite side found the Huaxia troops acting as a blocker, and Takeshita Ono did not have time to think about it and pounced on the 63rd Wing, originally thinking that he could beat the water dogs. I didn't expect to kick a piece of hard granite.

As soon as the 63rd Wing launched an attack, it was smashed by the artillery fire from the opposite side, and its fierceness was beyond Takeshita Ono's dreams, and a brigade that soon launched an attack immediately suffered nearly half of the casualties, and before Takeshita Ono could reflect, with a loud charge sounding, the troops of the two regiments on the other side immediately launched a counterattack on their wing from both sides, and immediately caught the 63rd Wing by surprise......
