After inspecting the fortress construction site, when he returned to the regiment headquarters, he found that the atmosphere at the regiment headquarters was a little strange.

"Wang, what's wrong with you? Are they so serious? Xu Rui walked into the war room and asked Wang Husheng, who was standing on the sand table with a solemn expression.

Wang Husheng said: "Lao Xu, something has happened on the battlefield of De'an. ”

"Change?" Xu Rui's heart skipped a beat when he heard this, "What's the change?" ”

Wang Husheng said: "We don't have much specific information, but based on the current information, we can still basically judge that the 74th Army, the ace army of the 1st Army Corps, has fallen into the siege of devils and may be annihilated at any time. ”

"It's actually to be expected." Leng Tiefeng said coldly, "As early as when Chairman Jiang transferred troops to prepare for a decisive battle with the devils in De'an, Lao Xu sent a telegram to remind them that although the 1st Army was victorious, it suffered great losses, and although the devils were defeated, they did not hurt their muscles and bones at all. ”

After more than a month, Leng Tiefeng's perception of the National Army Command has changed greatly.

Sun Changhe said coldly: "What kind of command, it is clear that Lao Jiang is bent on going his own way." ”

As the so-called love is deep and responsibility is keen, Sun Changhe, as an officer and cadet who graduated from the Central Military Academy, has almost been integrated into the bone marrow of Chairman Jiang, but because of this, when he found out that Chairman Jiang was careless about people's lives, the pain and hatred in his heart came extremely strongly, and the backlash was even more powerful.

More than half a month ago, Sun Changhe led the guard company to Huainan with Xu Rui north, and the tragic scene of starvation everywhere he saw along the way gave him great stimulation, and it was from that time that Sun Changhe changed from a loyal supporter of Chairman Jiang to a staunch opponent, and even the title of Chairman Jiang changed from a committee to an old Jiang.

Yang Banan also said: "At present, the 1st Army Corps and even all the troops in the entire 9th Theater are doing their best to rescue Yu Jishi's 74th Army, but I am here to say a discouraged word, all signs have shown that this is simply a trap set by Okamura Ningji, and the 74th Army is afraid that it is already in danger." ”

Yang Bayan was also greatly stimulated in this northward disaster relief, but compared with Sun Changhe, Yang Bayan was older after all, and the city government was deeper, and he did not express his dissatisfaction or hatred for Chairman Jiang, but what he went further than Sun Changhe was that his political tendencies had obviously changed.

In the discussion of Leng Tiefeng, Sun Changhe, and Yang Bainan, Xu Rui walked to the side of the sand table.

After clearly seeing the situation map of friend and foe demonstrated on the simulated sand table, Xu Rui couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart, the situation he was most worried about before finally happened.

Here, we have to praise the wisdom of the ancient Chinese again.

The Chinese nation is really the smartest and best race in the world, which can be felt from the proverb full of wisdom in the car alone.

Among these proverbs, one of the most popular is that blessings and misfortunes lurk, and misfortunes and blessings depend on them.

Because Xu Rui appeared and accidentally captured the equipment of a Japanese heavy artillery brigade in Feicheng, and then used this heavy artillery brigade to exchange it with Chairman Jiang for an arsenal, which led to a series of chain reactions, Xu Rui originally expected things to evolve in a good direction.

But in the end, things still showed their cruelty after all.

After all, the wheel of history still shows its unstoppable and powerful inertia, and because of the appearance of Xu Rui's little butterfly and the disruption, the inertia of history has rebounded more powerfully.

It may be a bit complicated to say this, but to put it simply, because of the misalignment of this heavy artillery brigade, it is very likely that the outcome of the Battle of Wuhan will deteriorate.

On the one hand, the army greatly consumed the resources and vital strength of the Japanese army, and on the other hand, it won sufficient time for the transfer of personnel and materials gathered in Wuhan.

But now, the outcome of the Battle of Wuhan is very likely to turn from a draw to a fiasco!

The logical causal relationship between this is actually very simple, and after a simple combing, it is because Chairman Jiang obtained the heavy artillery brigade from Xu Rui and gave this heavy artillery brigade to the 74th Army, so Yu Jishi's 74th Army was able to annihilate the Songpu Division in one fell swoop in Wanjialing.

Because the Matsuura Division was completely annihilated, Okamura Ninji learned from the pain and reflected on his tactical mistakes.

On the other hand, because the Songpu Division was completely annihilated, it led to Chairman Chiang's pride and underestimation of the enemy, and after the victory of Wanjialing in history, Chairman Chiang was also hot-headed for a while, but under the persuasion of Bai Chongxi, Chen Cheng, Xue Yue and others, he did not really fight a decisive battle with the Japanese army in De'an.

However, in this space-time dimension, Bai Chongxi, Chen Cheng and Xue Yue failed to persuade Chairman Chiang, and the result was that the Nationalist Army invested more troops than in history and tried to fight a decisive battle with the Japanese 11th Army on the De'an battlefield, which also gave Okamura Ningji an excellent opportunity to destroy a large number of the living forces of the Nationalist Army.

So, Xu Rui's mind suddenly floated up, about Okamura Ningci's unrealized grand strategic concept, in the original history, Okamura Ningci once put forward an idea, while advancing to Wuhan along the north and south banks of the Yangtze River with the main force, send a partial division from Nanchang to detour the past, capture Zhuzhou and then outflank Changsha to the north, threatening the rear of Wuhan.

It must be admitted that Okamura's idea is very terrifying.

Little Japan, an island country, has never produced a decent master of strategy since ancient times, but there are still a few characters with a certain strategic vision, such as the so-called Meiji Sanyu Wu, more or less still has some strategic vision, Okamura Ningji is undoubtedly one of these few figures.

Okamura Ninji's idea of flanking Changsha is terrifying.

Once the Japanese army really put it into practice, it would not only be as simple as the southern end of the Pinghan Railway being cut off, and the personnel and materials gathered in Wuhan could not be evacuated to the south in time, but more seriously, the Hunan garrison was extremely empty at this time, and it was likely to be taken down by the Japanese army, so that there would be no later four battles of Changsha.

If there were no four battles of Changsha, the Japanese army would not have been greatly consumed, and the deployment of troops would have been much more relaxed, but the Nationalist Army had lost the tax revenue of Hunan Province and a large number of troops, and the situation faced by the Nationalist Government was much more severe than in history when the Sino-Japanese War entered the stage of stalemate.

The only thing that is fortunate is that this idea of Okamura Ninji in history was not implemented.

Because on the battlefield of De'an, Okamura Ningji encountered such a super tenacious opponent as Xue Yue, although in the end Okamura Ningji won the Battle of De'an after losing and then winning, and successfully occupied Nanchang, but after occupying Nanchang, the 11th Army no longer had the strength to detour to Zhuzhou and flank Changsha.

But now, there is a high probability that history will change.

Because now, Xue Yue has been transferred out of the De'an battlefield, and now it is Luo Zhuoying, a mediocre person, who replaces Xue Yue in command on the front line.

Moreover, at this time, Chairman Chiang was even more proud of the enemy than in history, and once there was a major defeat on the De'an battlefield, once the 1st Army Corps suffered heavy losses, it was entirely possible for Okamura Ninji's 11th Army to avoid being entangled with the 1st Army Corps, and it was entirely possible to divide at least one division to flank Zhuzhou from Nanchang, and then intercept Changsha to the north.

Thinking of this, Xu Rui's heart immediately rose to his throat.

Trouble, the National Army High Command must be alerted immediately!

But Xu Rui was just about to leave and walk into the communication office, but he stopped again.

If he sent a telegram to the high command in a daze, Chairman Chiang would not only not listen to it, but would be regarded as a provocation and contempt for him.

At that moment, Xu Rui set Leng Sensen's gaze on Yang Bayan.

Yang Bagan was furious by Xu Rui's straight eyes, and asked, "Commander, I said something wrong?" ”

"No, you're not wrong, you're basically right." Xu Rui shook his head and said in a deep voice, "But I'm afraid the problem is ten times more serious than you said, it's not just the 74th Army that is in danger, but also the entire 1st Army Corps, and even the Wuhan Xingying is facing an unprecedented threat!" ”

"What?" Yang Ba couldn't hear this, and his face changed suddenly.

Several other senior officers in the war room also changed their faces, because they knew Xu Rui and believed in Xu Rui's vision and judgment, Xu Rui said that the 1st Army Corps was facing danger, and Xu Rui said that the Wuhan camp was under threat, and the Wuhan camp must be under threat.

"That's it." Xu Rui said in a deep voice, "Old eight, I know that you have a good relationship with Wan Xiangyun, the deputy commander-in-chief of the Third War Zone, and Wan Xiangyun has economic account dealings with many high-ranking officials of the National Government, so you can send a telegram to Lao Wan, and ask him to remind Chairman Jiang through the high-level route, beware of the little devils attacking Zhuzhou!" ”

"The devil flanked Zhuzhou?" Yang Ba was stunned for a moment when he heard this, but Sun Changhe, Leng Tiefeng, and more than a dozen trainee soldiers gathered around the sand table immediately gathered in front of the map posted on the north wall, and one of the trainees quickly picked up a ruler and drew a straight line between Nanchang and Zhuzhou.

Then he read the ruler scale and said, "The distance in a straight line is only 300 kilometers!" ”

Leng Tiefeng then said: "According to the consistent advance speed of the devils, three hundred kilometers, at most seven days, the devils can appear under Zhuzhou City, ten days later, Changsha will also be lost, and at that time, the personnel and materials gathered in Wuhan will only be left with the retreat of entering Sichuan by water." ”

Wang Husheng also frowned and said: "The Nationalist Government has scuttled almost all the warships and a large number of civilian ships in Jiangyin and Madang twice in a row, and now the ships that can be mobilized are very limited, and from Wuhan to Chongqing not only have to pass through the Three Gorges, but also sail against the current, and the transportation capacity is very limited. ”

Hearing this, Yang Bayan could no longer be calm, and almost rushed into the communication office, and shouted to the female communication soldier on duty: "Dongmei, hurry, help me send a telegram!" ”
