A plane deftly cut through the clouds, its nose pressed down, and it swooped down from the runway, and there were six black dots hovering high in the air. \\.qВ5、c0m\ The wheels were in contact with the ground, and then they jumped down slightly, and then glided gently.

The plane stopped at the end of the runway, and a group of officers who had been waiting next to it immediately rushed to the plane by car, and when they arrived, the cabin door had already been opened, and there were several soldiers standing by the gangway, led by a small officer with the rank of general on his shoulder.

"Resign." The officer who jumped out of the jeep came over quickly and stood still in front of Chen Cheng, and the officers behind him saluted Chen Cheng in unison.

Chen Cheng was preoccupied, then returned a military salute, and then walked straight to the car in the middle without saying a word.

Xue Yue walked beside him, Chen Cheng didn't open his mouth along the way, until the car started to drive out of the airport, the road from the airport to Changsha was a little bumpy, Chen Cheng didn't speak, and Xue Yue didn't ask to speak.

"Boling, are you all ready?" Finally, when the car was about to arrive at the headquarters, Chen Cheng spoke.

"The 30th Group Army has been assembled in Xinqiang Henan, the 10th Group Army is assembling in Rongjiawan, the 19th Group Army is assembling in the Fangshan area, the 11th Group Army is assembling in Jingzhou, Jiangling, and the 10th Army and the 52nd Army of the third line are rushing to Miluo to act as the second attack wave, and the 44th Army and the 73rd Army are rushing to Huarong." Xue Yue briefly introduced the current deployment of troops: The layout of the Ninth Theater is light in the front and heavy in the rear, the 30th Group Army of the Miscellaneous Army and part of the Hunan Army and the Guangdong Army are located south of the Xinqiang River, and the Central Army is mainly deployed south of the Miluo River.

After receiving the order of the military committee, Xue Yue urgently mobilized his troops to the north, but Chen Cheng came faster, and the troops were not fully in place.

"Has there been any change in the situation of the Japanese army in northern Xiangbei?" Chen Cheng asked again.

"No," Xue Yue's answer was very affirmative: "In order to relieve the siege of Kanda, Anan Weiji almost evacuated northern Hunan, the main force of the 40th Division has secretly gone north, and there is only one seventh division left in the entire southern Hunan. ”

Anan secretly dispatched the main force of the 40th Division to the north, but this situation could not be concealed from the Chinese secret service, and the situation was soon spread to the military commander Changsha Station. When he spoke, Xue Yue's expression was a little complicated, a year ago, he used the Heavenly Furnace method of warfare to surround the main force of the Eleventh Army, but in the end he was broken by the Japanese army, although the Japanese army was severely damaged, but it failed to turn the tide of the war, and now if the five theaters can completely annihilate Kantian, the whole battle situation may change.

Chen Cheng didn't speak, his mind was also full of tastes, he hoped that Zhuang Jihua would succeed, but he didn't want him to succeed. If the Northern Hubei Campaign is completely victorious, Zhuang Jihua's position within the party and the army is bound to rise sharply, and his position will be even more threatened.

"Resign, what's the situation in the Battle of Northern Hubei now?" Xue Yue couldn't help but ask, this large-scale assembly, half of China is moving, all because of the Battle of Northern Hubei, as the commander of the Ninth Theater of Operations, he is not very clear about the progress of the Battle of Northern Hubei.

"The 39th Division has been annihilated, the 58th Division has been surrounded in Jingshan, and the main force led by Kanda has been blocked north of Zhongxiang, however, the 13th Division crossed the Han River, Zhuang Jihua was furious, and removed Lan Yundong, Guo Yan, Mu Tingfang, Mo and Shuo from their positions, let them make meritorious contributions to their crimes, and shot Wang Xisu, and now there is a fierce battle north of Zhongxiang, and it is still unclear what the final situation of the battle can be." Chen Cheng briefly introduced the situation of the battle in northern Hubei.

While speaking, the car stopped at the entrance of the headquarters, and the headquarters of the Ninth Theater was not located in Changsha City, but in a small manor at the foot of the boundary mountain of Duyun Town, a major transportation artery in the south of the city.

Zhao Jiaxiang, chief of staff of the theater, had already led the officers in the headquarters to wait at the gate of the manor to greet Chen Cheng. After Chen Cheng got out of the car, he didn't greet him but went directly to the conference room, which had already been set up.

Chen Cheng and Xue Yue sat in the first place, with a large map of the Nine War Zones hanging on the wall behind them, and maps of the Wuhan and Nanchang regions hanging on the side walls.

"Ru Gui, tell me about the situation." After Chen Cheng and everyone sat down, he ordered an officer who came with him.

The officer stood up and walked to the map, and then said: "The base camp believes that the current battle in northern Hubei has developed into a decisive battle between the Chinese and Japanese armies, the entire front of the Japanese army has been divided, and our army has annihilated the Japanese 39th Division and surrounded the 58th Division, forming an encirclement posture against the main force of the Japanese 11th Army led by Kanda, and the battlefield situation is unprecedentedly favorable. ”

"In order to save Kanda, the entire Chinese dispatch army has begun to operate, Nishio Shouzo and Okamura Ninji transferred troops from Jiangnan and North China, however, Commander Zhuang Jihua of the Fifth Theater has taken precautions, near Xinyang, our army has concentrated three group armies, and the Fifth Army has cut off the Pinghan line, so it is difficult for the Japanese army in North China to move south in the short term; It took at least a week for the Japanese army in the south of the Yangtze River to go up the river, and it was too late, so Anan only transferred troops from Nanchang and Xiangbei, which created conditions for our army's counteroffensive. ”

"In accordance with the order of the base camp, Gu Zhutong, commander of the Third Theater Region, mobilized the 24th Group Army and the 32nd Group Army, and will launch a counteroffensive against Nanchang tomorrow and strive to recover Nanchang."

"Nanchang is just leading the war, and the base camp believes that the Japanese army in northern Hunan is empty, and our Ninth Theater can take the opportunity to capture Yueyang, and then decide whether to attack Wuhan according to the situation."

Speaking of this, he glanced at Chen Cheng before continuing: "But I believe that the main force of the Japanese army has been completely contained by the five theaters, and the Japanese army in Wuhan is only seven or eight thousand people at most, and our army has superiority in strength and air, and we can't just stop at recapturing Yueyang, we should go further and strive to capture Wuhan." ”

"For this reason, the resignation has drawn up a battle plan," Speaking of this, he picked up his wallet from the table, took out a document from it and handed it to Chen Cheng, Chen Cheng did not open it but handed it to Xue Yue.

"It was decided to mobilize the 30th Group Army, the 10th Group Army, the 11th Group Army, the 19th Group Army, the 10th, 99th, 52nd, and 44th Armies directly under the jurisdiction of the theater to form the left and right attack corps, and the 99th Army, the 44th Army, and the 11th Group Army as the left corps, and move east along the river to attack Qianjiang Xiantao and go straight to Wuhan; The main forces of the theater, the 30th Group Army, the 10th Group Army, the 19th Group Army, and the 52nd Army were the right groups, and the left and right armies formed a pincer offensive, swept through northern Hunan and southern Hubei in one fell swoop, directly took the city of Wuchang, recovered Wuchang, and then went north, together with the five theaters, to annihilate the Kantian troops. ”

After Ru Gui finished speaking, he glanced at Chen Cheng, and seeing that he didn't say anything, he automatically returned to his seat. Chen Cheng stood up at this time, propped his hands on the table, and looked at the generals present with blazing eyes.

"The Japanese army in northern Hunan and southern Hubei is empty, but the Japanese army in Jiangnan is rushing to Wuhan day and night, and if we capture Wuhan, we can cut off the westward advance of the Japanese army, and at the same time form a second encirclement of Kanda. Ladies and gentlemen, this war will be a turning point in the Sino-Japanese War, and even in the war of the allies against Japan. Do you have the confidence to fight this battle? ”

Chen Cheng didn't ask Xue Yue at all if he was willing to fight this battle, the Japanese army facing the left and right sides had only one wing, and the rest was the puppet army, and there were more than 500,000 troops in the Ninth Theater, not counting the youth army of the four divisions that were being reorganized, as well as the 62nd Army and the 63rd Army that were originally subordinate to the Yu Hanmou Department of the Fourth Theater and are now being reorganized in Guangdong on the Hunan border.

With such a strong force, such a weak enemy army, and such a huge victory, if you do not dare to attack, you are not worthy of being called a soldier.

"Please resign and rest assured, the staff will definitely fight to Wuhan and attack Wuchang." Xue Yue was extremely confident that even if Kanda escaped from northern Hubei and ran out of ammunition, he would not be worried.

"Good!" Chen Cheng praised heavily, and then said solemnly: "The whole battle situation is a game of chess, in order to coordinate the operations of the Ninth Theater and the Third Theater, I will stay in Changsha, and the Hengyang Command will move forward to Changsha and jointly command the operation with the Ninth Theater Command." ”

As soon as he heard this, Xue Yue's face changed slightly, and then he returned to normal, Chen Cheng's purpose was self-evident, but his reasons were high-sounding, making it difficult to refute. Originally, the Hengyang Command had the ability to command the various theaters in the south of the Yangtze River, and he wanted to stay in Changsha just to advance the headquarters.

Xue Yue felt a little unhappy in his heart, of course Zhao Jiaxiang saw it, and after the meeting ended, he quietly pulled Xue Yue aside to persuade him for a while, and Xue Yue's heart was unraveled.

The Ninth Theater of Operations assembled in Henan on the Hunan and Hubei borders and the new wall, and was detected by the Japanese army who was vigilant day and night, and the commander of the 236th Wing, Yoshio Kamegawa, urgently asked for help from Wuhan, he only had 300 Seventh Divisions in his hands, and after Zhong Xiang defected, Anan Weiji urgently notified all the subordinate troops, and was vigilant that when the Chinese army attacked, the puppet army troops would mutiny.

Without waiting for Anan to react, the 30th Army first crossed the Xinqiang River, and then the 10th Army and the 19th Army crossed the Xinqiang River one after another, and the Third Route Army stabbed at Yueyang like three steel knives.

The 30th Group Army took Yueyang directly, the 10th Group Army and the 19th Group Army abandoned Yueyang and went straight to Tongcheng along the Guangdong-Hanzhou Railway, the 7th Division of the Yueyang Puppet Army announced that it was anyway when the 30th Group Army approached the city defense, and the 30th Group Army seized Yueyang without letting go of a shot, Wang Lingji immediately attacked Linxiang with the 7th Division as the vanguard, and Linxiang went down with a drum.

Kamegawa Yoshio did not resist at all, and no matter how arrogant he was, he did not dare to fight against the 200,000 army with 3,000 people, he simply left the 7th Division of the puppet army that he did not dare to trust, and led the Japanese army to retreat all the way to Tingsi Bridge.

When Anami Yuji received Kamegawa's report, his eyes were dark, and he fell to the ground, startling the officers around him. As soon as he woke up, Anan jumped up and immediately ordered the 234th and 235th Wings, which had just arrived in Wuhan, to immediately go south and rush to Hesheng Bridge.

"Relying on the Hesheng Bridge to establish a defensive line, block the Chinese army, and wait for reinforcements." Anan told the commander of the 40th Division, Aoki Chengichi, that he could not expect Aoki Chengichi to defeat the 200,000 elite squadron with more than 10,000 troops.

Before Aoki Seiichi left, Sakai hurried in, his face pale: "Commander! The commander of the Zhongshandun Division sent a telegram that the Third Theater of Operations in China had launched an attack on Nanchang, and that the numbers of the 24th Group Army and the 32nd Group Army had been ascertained, with a total strength of 160,000 troops. ”

"Report! Xinyang called, and Wusheng Pass was lost. ”

"Report, Jingshan called, the 36th Group Army of China is storming Jingshan, all the peripheral earthquakes have been lost, the troops have suffered serious losses, and they have withdrawn to the city, and the commander of the Shimono Division is requesting tactical guidance!"

", the commander of the Suzuki Sadaji Division reported that the attack was blocked, and asked for tactical guidance!!"

"The commander of the Kanda Division reported that the 94th Army of the China Army crossed the river at Zhongxiang and entered Zhongxiang City; The 17th Division's attack on Zhong Xiang failed; The 101st Army and the 86th Army suddenly landed between Zhongshan Pass and Shuizhulin, and the 17th Division was attacked by surprise and was retreating northwest of Zhongxiang. Kanda-kun asks for tactical guidance!! ”
