Half an hour later, Xue Yue, who was far away in Tonggu, also received the news. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

When the news came, Xue Yue was convening a meeting of the senior staff of the corps headquarters, although Gao'an County was taken, but the remnants of the devils entrenched in Gao'an County were not completely cleared, and the devils in Shanggao, Zhangshu and Xinyu were moving closer to Gao'an.

However, this is also in Xue Yue's expectations, although the 27th Division stationed on the Hunan and Jiangxi Highway is not a permanent division, but it is also one of the ten ad hoc divisions and regiments in the second batch of expansion, and it has entered the Chinese battlefield relatively early, has rich combat experience, and its combat effectiveness is also quite strong, and the division commander Masaharu Honma is also a ruthless character.

Therefore, Xue Yue plans to have a good time with Honma Masaharu in Gao'an.

When the defense line of the 27th Division was relatively complete before, Xue Yue didn't dare to act rashly, but now that the 27th Division has let the First Corps cut it in two, Xue Yue is not afraid of the old devil Masaharu Honma, and Xue Yue wants to wrestle with this famous old devil.

However, the meeting had just begun, and the Wuhan side transmitted six urgent telegrams in a row.

After reading the telegram, Xue Yue's eyebrows immediately frowned, Xue Yue had long expected that the little devil would not act according to the script they wrote, but the devil's reaction was completely beyond his expectations.

Xue Yue originally thought that even if the little devil refused to concentrate his forces to save Jiujiang, at least the Third Division, the 101st Division, and the 27th Division would never participate in the attack on Wuhan again, but now, the 3rd Division and the 101st Division not only participated in the offensive against Wuhan, but their attack lines were even more ferocious than they had known before!

Originally, according to the secret theft of the Fuxing Society, the 3rd and 101st Divisions should have cooperated with the 106th Division and the Potian Detachment to jointly attack Wuhan from the south bank of the Yangtze River, but now, the 3rd and 101st Divisions have abandoned Wuhan and directly outflanked Huarong in a roundabout way, which is to put the rhythm of the more than one million national troops gathered on the battlefield in Wuhan.

Seeing Xue Yue's expression, Wu Yizhi, chief of staff of the First Corps, asked in a low voice, "General seat, what's the situation?" ”

Xue Yue handed the telegram to Wu Yizhi without saying a word, and Wu Yizhi exclaimed directly after reading the telegram.

"What? The 3rd and 101st Divisions of the Japanese Army are striding towards Huarong?! Wu Yizhi's face changed greatly, and even his hands holding the telegram trembled slightly uncontrollably, "This, how can this be?" How could this happen? How dare the devil do this, how dare Seishiro Itagaki do this? ”

"Seishiro Itagaki!" Xue Yue's eyes lit up and he said, "I forgot, in the Xinkou battlefield, he once defeated Yan Laoxi and Wei Lihuang's thirty-one divisions with half a division!" After a pause, he added, "However, Wuhan is not Xinkou, and I, Xue Yue, am not Wei Lihuang, let alone Yan Laoxi." ”

A moment later, the dozen or so senior staff members present at the meeting had circulated all the telegrams and exploded in one fell swoop.

Xue Yue waved his hand and said loudly: "Let's go, follow me to the war room, war games!" ”

As soon as the words fell, Xue Yue walked to the next war room first, and Wu Yizhi and more than a dozen staff officers hurriedly followed.

It's too late to make a makeshift sand table, so you can only do wargames on the map.

Half an hour later, the senior staff of the First Corps had already marked the enemy situation map of the Chinese and Japanese armies on the map, but only to see four huge arrows, like four hideous centipedes, from four different directions to Wuhan with teeth and claws, and two blue arrows pointed straight to the side of Wuhan, Huarong!

Wu Yizhi stared at the map and said to Xue Yue: "Boss, I must admit that this old devil Seishiro Itagaki is ruthless enough, he doesn't leave any room at all, this is simply a gamble with us!" In the current situation, if our army wins, it will be a total win, but if it loses, it will definitely be a big defeat and a loss! ”

"Bet on it." Xue Yue said indifferently, "It is still unknown who killed the deer!" ”

Wu Yizhi's face changed slightly when he heard this, and he whispered: "Chief seat, I think I can't be impulsive......

"Okay, Chief of Staff, don't talk too much." Xue Yue waved his hand to stop Wu Yizhi, and then turned his head to the dozen or so senior staff members standing beside him and said, "The first subject, with the existing strength of the Huarong front, can it withstand the attack of the Third Division and the 101st Division?" If you can't stop it, how many days can you hold it at most? ”

Xue Yue gave the subject, and the dozen or so senior staff members of the headquarters immediately divided into two groups and began to deduce.

The result of the deduction was that Huarong's existing forces could not stop the attack of the 3rd and 101st Divisions at all, and they would hold out for five days at most, and Jingzhou would be lost after five days!

"Five days?" Xue Yue frowned and said, "What if the defenders of Changde and Yueyang are transferred?" ”

A senior counselor replied: "If the four armies stationed in Changde and Yueyang can be transferred to the front line of Huarong, they can hold it for at least half a month, but the general seat, with all due respect, the headquarters may not agree to transfer the defenders of Changde and Yueyang to the front line of Huarong, especially Yueyang, which is the southern gateway of Wuhan!" Once the defenders of Yueyang are transferred to Huarong, and the little devil kills back to Yueyang directly, the southern gate of Wuhan will be opened! ”

Wu Yizhi echoed and said: "Yes, the general seat, the defenders of Yueyang can't move, and there are not many defenders in Changde, even if they are transferred, I'm afraid it will be a drop in the bucket, and it will not help, so I think that I should give up the next stage of the offensive immediately, and quickly return to the Hunan battlefield to threaten the 3rd and 101st Divisions!" ”

Wu Yizhi's idea is very simple, the little devils are going to work hard, let's not be like them, quickly withdraw the main force of the First Corps to Hunan, and threaten the rear of the Third Division and the 101st Division, so that the 3rd Division and the 101st Division of the Japanese Army can only shrink back and curl up to protect themselves.

It is especially important that there is enough time.

In four or five days, the main force of the First Corps was enough to return to Hunan.

"It's too late." Xue Yue shook his head and said, "Chief of Staff, it's time for this, even if we return to Hunan, the little devil's Third Division and the 101st Division will never retreat back to their original positions, not to mention, now that the troops have all been deployed and have been completely entangled with the 27th Division, even if they want to withdraw, they can't withdraw at this time." ”

Wu Yizhi immediately fell silent, because what Xue Yue said was indeed a big problem.

Xue Yue said to the staff officers again: "The second subject, with the current situation, can we defeat or even completely annihilate the 27th Division of the Japanese Army, and if so, how many days will it take at most?" ”

Xue Yue gave the second wargame deduction subject, and the staff officers of the headquarters were busy again.

The time of this deduction was even longer, and it took more than an hour before the results were finally reached.

"Headquarters!" A major general, Senior Staff Officer, reported: "After deduction, we unanimously believe that with the current situation, it will be difficult for our corps to completely annihilate the 27th Division of the Japanese Army, but there is no problem at all in defeating the 27th Division, and it will definitely not take more than five days, and within five days, our Corps will be able to defeat the Japanese army!" It's just ......"

"Just what?" Xue Yue frowned and said, "Don't talk about it, say anything." ”

"Yes." Major General Gao Shen snapped upright, and continued, "But there must be a premise for this, that is, Jiujiang must not be lost within five days!" If Jiujiang is lost before the rout of the 27th Division, then the devil reinforcements from the direction of Jiujiang will be able to arrive quickly, and our army's goal will be disappointed. ”

"Got it." Xue Yue nodded heavily, "It's also five days, isn't it?" ”

"Yes, five days!" Major General Gao Shen nodded heavily, and said, "Judging from the results of the war games, in five days at most, the Japanese army will be able to capture Jingzhou City, and our army will also defeat the 27th Division, but as for the minimum it will take a few days, it is impossible to judge exactly, because there are too many uncertainties." ”

War is not a drill after all, and there are many factors that cannot be calculated on paper.

"Then it's up to God to judge." Xue Yue slammed his fist on the wall and said, "If the devil captures Jingzhou first, then the Battle of Wuhan will be a big defeat and loss, but if we defeat the 27th Division first, then the little devil will lose the Battle of Wuhan. ”

Listening to Xue Yue say there, Wu Yizhi only felt his heart pounding.

With such a big bet, Wu Yizhi felt that he was about to run out of breath.

Wu Yizhi's mouth smacked twice, and he wanted to say a few words, but he couldn't make a sound.

"Chief of Staff!" Xue Yue turned around and instructed Wu Yizhi, "Call the headquarters immediately, and ask the headquarters to immediately transfer half of the defenders from Changde and Yueyang to reinforce Huarong, and hold Huarong no matter what, at least ten days!" ”

"Huh?" Wu Yizhi asked in confusion, "General seat, the war game just now, isn't it five days?" ”

"Just ten days." Xue Yue said undoubtedly, "Telegraph to the Command, hold Huarong for at least ten days!" ”

For his colleagues in the army, Xue Yue really knows too well, if you ask him to keep it for five days, he will definitely give you a discount, only three days, not one more day, you let them hold on for ten days, and they will make a discount for exactly five days.

After a slight pause, Xue Yue said again: "Also, I ordered the 799th Regiment of the 133rd Division to hold Jiujiang for at least five days no matter what!" ”

"Huh?" Wu Yizhi became more and more puzzled, "General seat, not ten days?" ”

"Yes, not ten days, five days." Xue Yue smiled and said, "You don't need to beat the drum hard, for Xu Rui, you don't need to fix those voids, you say five days, he will definitely keep it for five days!" (To be continued.) )
