Just when Song Hu was arranging the plan for a sneak attack on Nanjing Airport, in the temporary headquarters of the Japanese army in Chaohu, Yuan Shou, the commander of the Ninth Division, looked at the officers sitting on the left and right sides, and sneered: "Gentlemen, now the battle of Xuzhou has reached the most critical moment, but you haven't even conquered a small Chaohu, what do you say this is?" This is a disgrace to our Imperial Japanese Army! ”

Hearing Haramoru's words, the Japanese officers present lowered their heads one after another. Seeing the reactions of all the officers, Hara Mamoru took a deep breath and said, "Gentlemen, don't forget the last time given to us by the base camp!" If you can't take Chaohu Lake within the specified time, and you can't destroy the new 1st Division of the Zhina Army, you should all apologize to His Majesty the Emperor! ”

As soon as Haramamoru finished speaking, Chief of Staff Nakagawa Hiromichi walked up to Haramoru with a telegram and said, "Your Excellency Commander, dispatch the army headquarters to send an urgent telegram!" Yuan Shou took the telegram and looked at it carefully, and said to the commander of the 18th Division, Sadao Ushijima: "General Ushijima, you immediately rush to Quanjiao with your troops!" Take over the garrison of the whole pepper! ”

An hour later, the meeting ended. Ushijima Sadao walked up to Haramoru and said, "General Haramoru, your news is very sensitive, what is the latest news?" Yuan Shou looked around and said: "The Chinese army sneaked up on Quanjiao and burned all the materials of Quanjiao, about this matter, the Tokyo base camp is very bright!" ”

When Ushijima Sadao heard Haramoru's words, he thought for a while and asked, "Chaohu, what should we do?" Keep fighting? Yuan Shou exhaled deeply, and just about to say something, Chief of Staff Nakagawa Hiroshi ran to Yuan Shou's side and said, "Your Excellency, Division Commander! Now the morale of the troops is very low! The Chinese army cut off the heads of our fallen soldiers and piled them together! ”

"Eight Tooth Road!" Yuan Shou shouted angrily: "Order the troops to immediately attack the positions of the Chinese army!" We will use the blood of the Shina army to cleanse us as the Emperor of Japan. Shame on man! Ushijima Sadao who was on the side saw Haramoru angry, and was just about to speak, when Chief of Staff Takahashi Keita walked up to Ushijima Sadao and handed the telegram he had just received to Ushijima Sadao.

After reading the telegram, Ushijima Sadao brushed it, and his face suddenly turned pale. Yuan Mamoru on the side saw Ushijima's face and asked, "Ushijima-kun, what's wrong?" Why is your face so ugly? Ushijima Sadao mechanically handed the telegram to Mamoru Hara.

Yuan Shou took the telegram with a puzzled face, looked at it seriously, shook his head and said, "It seems that Zhang Cheng is really our nightmare!" The same thing happened to my troops as it did with you! Yuan Shou frowned and couldn't help but shout: "Damn the Shina Army! I'm going to give you a taste of being beheaded! Saying that, Yuan Shou said to the chief of staff Nakagawa Hiromichi beside him: "Send electricity, order the air force to carry out carpet bombing of Chaohu!" ”

"Hey!" Saying that, Nakagawa Hirodo immediately sent out the order of Haramamoru. More than 10 minutes later, the bomber group that had received the order to stand by at the Nanjing airport rose into the sky and flew in the direction of Chaohu Lake.

After the devil bombed, Zhang Cheng walked into the field hospital. Look at the wounded lying in the room one by one. When Zhang Cheng inquired about the situation and was about to leave, Wu Jia appeared in front of Zhang Cheng and asked, "Why, you didn't look for me when you came, don't you want to see me?" ”

Zhang Cheng shook his head with a smile and said, "You were having surgery when you came, so I didn't bother you!" Saying that, Zhang Cheng looked at the injuries around him and asked, "Today, are there many injured soldiers?" Wu Jia sighed and said, "There are more injured today than yesterday, and a few of them were burned by poison gas today!" Although I have now controlled them, I don't have enough equipment to cure them all! ”

When Zhang Cheng heard Wu Jia's words, he said lightly: "Wu Jia, this is war!" There's no way around it! Saying that, Zhang Cheng looked at his watch and asked, "Do you have time now?" Let's go for a walk together! When Wu Jia heard Zhang Cheng's words, a faint smile appeared on his face and said, "I'm afraid it won't work now!" But I'll have time a little later! ”

When Zhang Cheng heard Wu Jia's words, he nodded and said, "When you have dinner, you and Zhao Ziqing come to my room together!" Let's have a meal together! Wu Jia nodded, turned around and returned to the operating room. Looking at the back of Wu Jia leaving, Zhang Cheng sighed and walked to the telecommunications room.

Walking into the telecommunications room, Zhao Ziqing handed the telegram he had just received to Zhang Cheng and said, "Master! Wuhan Xingying emergency electricity! Zhang Cheng took the telegram, looked at it seriously, and said, "Call back!" The call has been learned, our department finally withdrew from the battlefield, and I hope that the Supreme Command will approve it! ”

More than ten minutes later, He Yingqin received a call back from Zhang Cheng. Looking at the content of the telegram in his hand, Zhang Cheng suddenly frowned. Chen Cheng and Bai Chongxi, who were next to He Yingqin, saw He Yingqin's frowning. Bai Chongxi opened his mouth and asked, "What happened to Jingzhi?" ”

He Yingqin handed the telegram to Bai Chongxi and said: "Zhang Chenglai is electrified and is willing to cover for the retreat of the whole army, how do you think this matter should be handled?" Bai Chongxi took the telegram, and after reading it, handed it to Chen Cheng and said, "I think it's better to report to the commission!" Let the commission take care of it! ”

Hearing Bai Chongxi's words, Chen Cheng agreed: "Respect! I think what Kensheng said makes sense! If we rashly agree to the new First Division, if anything is good, the commission will definitely not spare us! He Yingqin heard Chen Cheng and Bai Chongxi's words, and said hesitantly: "Since this is the case, let's go to the commission together!" After speaking, He Yingqin took Zhang Cheng's telegram and turned around and walked towards President Jiang's office.

President Jiang, who was busy in the office, heard the report of the attendants, put down the official document in his hand and said, "Let them come in!" With President Jiang's consent, He Yingqin took Chen Cheng and Bai Chongxi into President Jiang's office together. President Jiang saw He Yingqin, Chen Cheng and Bai Chongxi and asked, "Is there something wrong?" ”

He Yingqin handed Zhang Cheng's reply to President Jiang and said, "Commission!" This is a call back from the new 1st Division that I just received! We don't dare to make a rash decision, so please appoint a judgment! When President Jiang heard He Yingqin's words, he took the telegram and looked at it, and said happily: "Okay! It is worthy of the elite of my Whampoa! I agree with Zhang Cheng's decision! Tell him to shrink his troops immediately and prepare for the affairs of the palace! ”

"Yes!" Saying that, He Yingqin took Chen Cheng and Bai Chongxi and left President Jiang's office. Just walked out of President Jiang's office, Chen Cheng said seriously: "In the next battle of Wuhan, we must make a good deployment!" Although we defeated the Japanese army in Xuzhou, it was also a disastrous victory! ”
