When Yamada came out, it was already time to eat, and Yamada asked Zhou Lin to go first, he still had something to do, and he didn't leave the headquarters for the time being.

Zhou Lin hurriedly drove to the dock, and the car drove fast.

As soon as he got home, Zhou Lin immediately went to the secret room and wrote today's events into a secret letter.

Then, he pulled Xiangjun and walked out.

"I've got the meal ready!" Xiangjun pointed to the dishes on the table and said.

"No need, let's go out to eat, you go ......," Zhou Lin said softly.

Xiangjun was stunned for a moment, knowing the urgency of the matter, he covered the meal and left the house behind Zhou Lin.

When Zhou Lin drove past the military commander's death mailbox, he pretended to be in a hurry to urinate and went to the toilet. Leaving a code of urgency.

Then he returned to the car and gave a secret letter to Xiangjun.

The car took a detour, and when passing by the Huangmei Theater, Xiangjun saw Yulan standing by the door chatting with her sisters.

"Magnolia, what are you talking about? It's so fun to say. Xiangjun shouted.

Zhou Lin stopped the car, but neither Zhou Lin nor Yulan got out of the car.

Magnolia walked over with a smile: "Yo! You are both husband and wife returning their home. But when I arrived at my mother's house, why didn't I enter my mother's door? ”

Xiangjun patted Magnolia with his hand, Yulan hurriedly grabbed Xiangjun's hand, and Xiangjun took the opportunity to put the secret letter into Yulan's palm.

"Would you like to come with us to dinner?" Xiangjun asked.

"Nope! The show is about to start. Magnolia put her hand in her pocket.

After Xiangjun said goodbye to Yulan, Zhou Lin drove towards the banquet building.

When Zhou Lin's car turned and disappeared, Yulan muttered: "Look at my memory, I obviously have something to explain to Xiangjun, but I forgot it." Qiu Ju, you look at the door first, and I'll go back when I go. ”

In the response of another girl, Xiangjun called a rickshaw, and after getting into the car, the rickshaw ran in the direction of the banquet building.

And Yang Kun always felt as if he had forgotten something today.

He examined his work and found that nothing was revealed, not the tea house.

Don't? Thinking of this, Yang Kun hurriedly drove to the dead mailbox.

As soon as he arrived at the death mailbox, Yang Kun saw a large garden circle, and there was an exclamation mark in the garden circle.

Yang Kun was shocked! Sure enough, the hunch was right, something big was happening.

He looked around and found no one suspicious. So he got out of the car to go to the convenience, secretly took the secret letter, and left a secret letter on the wall.

Yang Kun, who returned to the tea house, hurriedly showed the secret letter and translated it.

"The time for the general offensive of the second Wuhan campaign is set for ten o'clock in the morning of August 23."

Yang Kun read it carefully three times before burning the secret letter.

Then, he went to the basement and made an emergency call to Wuhan.

When the other party had a signal, Yang Kun hurriedly sent the secret telegram.

After sending out the secret telegram, Yang Kun silently muttered in his heart: "I hope the time comes." ”

An hour after Yang Kun sent the secret message, the old man received Dai Li's report.

Looking at the flickering lights in the distance, everyone's hearts were dull.

China's largest city, Pearl, has fallen, and now it's the turn of the second largest city.

The people who gathered around to eat under the lights had no idea that disaster was about to befall them, because they believed that the Chinese army would protect them.

But the army is incompetent and cannot protect the naïve people.

"How's the retreat going?" The old man asked.

"Eighty percent has been withdrawn." Mao Yimin hurriedly replied.

"Speed up the process, the retreat must be completed by August 20. I'm going to turn Wuhan into an empty city. The old man said hatefully.

"Yes! It used to be a secret retreat, but now we are starting to withdraw openly. ”

"Is the garrison of Jigong Mountain in place?" The old man asked again.

"It's already in place, temporarily stationed in the barracks on the surface, and when the battle begins, they will move to the dark camp." Dai Li said.

The old man turned around and asked Dai Li and Mao Yimin: "We left Wuhan with our tails between our legs, you say, a hundred years later, a thousand years later, what will we be scolded for?" ”

Dai Li and Mao Yimin didn't dare to reply, because they didn't know what the old man thought.

The old man seemed to have made up his mind, and walked back to his desk and sat down.

Dai Li and Mao Yimin were shocked, knowing that the fate of the country was decided at this moment.

"Command! The military commander established a team of supervisors. The old man ordered.

"The military commander obeys the order!" Dai Lisa stood up and saluted.

"500,000 officers and soldiers on the front line of Wuhan, defend Wuhan! Fighting to the last soldier and fighting to the death, the supervising team has the right to enforce wartime discipline against officers and soldiers who are afraid of war. Tell all the officers and men that we can no longer retreat, we have no way to retreat. ”

"We can't go back anymore, we can't go back." Dai Li and Mao Yimin shouted loudly.

"Immediately convene a military conference to affirm my determination to resist the war." The old man waved his hand and let the two of them retreat.

Time passed in the preparations for war between China and Japan.

On August 23, 1938, the Battle of Wuhan officially began.

The Japanese launched a fierce attack on the Chinese army on three fronts.

The first front: fighting on the south bank of the Yangtze River

The Japanese troops on the south bank were divided into two routes, and the 106th Division of Songpu attacked De* along the Nanxun Road.

The Hatada detachment and the Marines continued their march west along the river with naval vessels to attack the next point, Rui*. On August 24, he successfully forced a landing at the port northeast of Rui*, and broke the counterattack of the 12th Army of the defender Sun Tongxuan, and attacked Rui*.

The 3rd Army, reinforced by the 32nd Regiment of Townenburg, fought hard.

In late August, the 9th Division also arrived at Rui* under the escort of ships, and after the landing of the 6th Forward Brigade, it was like a bamboo, and even descended to Liyu Mountain, Beacon Hill and other important places, and captured Rui* on August 24.

After the occupation of Rui*, Maruyama Masao's 6th Brigade was supposed to attack southwest and cut off the Guangdong-Hanzhou Railway, but when he saw that the 106th and 101st Divisions of Nanxun Road were being beaten by Xue Yue's 1st Corps, he felt incredible, and killed him in a hurry.

Maruyama led his troops into the Minshan Mountains and plunged directly behind the defenders on the front of Nanxun Road.

Xue Yue also thought that the Sichuan army was lying about the military situation, so he ordered the 74th Army to send a regiment to drive away the enemy in Minshan and cover the safety of the defenders in front of Nanxun Road.

A brigade sent by the 74th Army was almost dumpled.

Zhou Zhidao of the 151st Brigade immediately came back to his senses, and led the troops to fight and withdraw at the same time.

After receiving the report, Wang Yaowu was also afraid that something would happen to the 151st Brigade, so he hurriedly led other troops of the 51st Division to support, but who knew that the 51st Division was not an opponent when it went together.

The 51st Division was beaten back and forth, and Yu Jishi finally figured out the enemy's strength and number at this time, and hurriedly led all the other troops of the 74th Army to rush to support.

But it still didn't retreat.

On September 3, the Maruyama detachment occupied Huimaling, and the 4th Army, 64th Army, and 18th Army of the frontal defenders of Nanxun Road were threatened and forced to retreat, and retreated to the next defensive line, Wushimen, and continued to hold on.
