"What?" Tada's eyes widened for a moment, his face full of disbelief.

"Hello." The young officer bowed his head suddenly, and handed the telegram in his hand to Tada Jun.

Tada Jun hurriedly read the telegram, and the muscles on his face suddenly began to twitch violently, and it took a long time before a sentence burst out from between his teeth: "Yaga Yalu!" ”

Wuhan, the official residence of Chairman Chiang.

Chairman Jiang was woken up by Wang Shihe as soon as he lay down, and when he put on his pajamas and came to the study, he saw that General He was already waiting there with an excited expression. ”

"Huh? An unprecedented victory? Chairman Chiang looked extremely confused.

"Lady Guan is a big victory!" Admiral He said hesitantly, "The Baoshan Division severely damaged the 20th Division of the Yue Army at Niangzi Pass, killing and wounding nearly 20,000 people and capturing more than 10,000 people!" The main force of the 20th Division has been annihilated, and the plan of the army to attack Shimen and quickly open the Pinghan Line has been bankrupt, as long as Xue Yue's corps can hold out for another seven days, the battle of Wuhan will be won! ”

"Huh?" Chairman Jiang's drowsiness suddenly disappeared, and he hurriedly said, "The news is reliable? ”

"Absolutely reliable!" Admiral He said firmly, "This is a good news signed by Yue Weihan himself, and although Yue Weihan is arrogant and domineering, he has never forged a battle report!" Moreover, Niangzi Guan Dajie hit the 20th Division of the Yue Army with such a big move, he Yue Weihan just wanted to fake it, and Xiao Yueben didn't agree? ”

"So......" Chairman Jiang said eagerly, "is the 20th Division of the Army really finished?" ”

"It's basically over." Admiral He nodded heavily and said, "Although there is an infantry brigade that has fled back to Taiyuan, it has become a frightened bird at this time, and it is impossible to pose a threat to the Baoshan Division anymore, and the Baoshan Division will be able to turn around and go south to concentrate on dealing with the Yue army going north along the Pinghan Line!" ”

"So......" Chairman Chiang added, "is the army's plan to open the Pinghan line within half a month really bankrupt?" ”

"Absolutely bankrupt!" Admiral He said without hesitation, "According to the intelligence, the 6th and 13th divisions of the Yue army going north have just crossed the Yellow River, and they are still three or four hundred kilometers away from Shimen, and it will take seven or eight days to reach Shimen at the earliest. ”

"So, we really have a chance to win the Battle of Wuhan?" Chairman Jiang's pale face suddenly appeared with a flush, all of which was agitated.

"Yes." Admiral He said again, "And there is a great opportunity!" ”

"Great!" Chairman Jiang waved his right fist fiercely and said in a deep voice, "Send a report to Xue Yue immediately, and let him hold on for another ten days no matter what!" Ten days later, the Military Commission will devote all its forces to a large-scale counteroffensive and tell Xue Boling that the life and death of the party-state and the life and death of the Chinese nation are all in one fell swoop! ”

"Yes." Admiral He stood upright and said, "Commission, shouldn't Baoshan Division be commended?" ”

"It should be, it should be." Chairman Jiang nodded again and again and said, "We will immediately send a telegram to commend the people, and then arrange for reporters from newspapers and news agencies to write newsletters overnight, so that the good news of Niangziguan's victory will be reported in the newspaper as soon as possible and broadcast as soon as possible, so as to encourage the determination of the whole [***] people to resist the war and enhance the confidence of overseas Chinese." ”

"Commissar ......," Admiral He reminded in a low voice, "Is it appropriate to allocate some military funds?" ”

"Military spending?" Chairman Jiang nodded again, "Yes, I will award 50,000 fiat currency." ”

After saying this, Chairman Jiang said earnestly: "Respectfully, after the fall of Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai, the tax source of the national political axe has been drastically reduced, but the military expenditure has increased sharply, and at present, you don't know the financial resources of the national political axe, and the economic aid of the Americans has not been able to arrive for a long time, and 50,000 legal dollars is already the limit, alas, ......."

"Yes." Admiral He said bitterly, "I understand my humble position, so I will go and report to Baoshan Division." ”

Jinxi, Lijiaya.

Yan Xishan's Second War Zone Commander's Headquarters is now temporarily stationed here.

When he got up early in the morning, Yan Xishan heard the magpie outside the courtyard, and he was in a good mood at the moment.

Less than half an hour later, General Wei Lihuang, commander-in-chief of the 14th Group Army, hurried over, General Wei Lihuang came to meet Yan Xishan in western Shanxi, originally for the reorganization of various departments in Zhongtiao Mountain, but as soon as he arrived in western Jinxi, he received an urgent battle report from the General Staff Headquarters, and the Baoshan Division inflicted heavy losses on the 20th Division of the Yue Army at Niangzi Pass, achieving an unprecedented victory!

"Oh, yes, yes, Junru brother!" Yan Xishan hugged his fists and said, "I said that I heard the magpie cry early in the morning, dare to love your brother is here, come and come, please inside, please inside." ”

Yan Xishan claims to be able to dance on three eggs, and he is extremely sociable.

Wei Lihuang waved his hand again and again: "Brother Bochuan, this magpie is not called for me Wei Lihuang, but for your brother!" ”

"Me?" Yan Xishan shook his hand again and again, "Most of my Yan people have lost most of Shanxi, what other happy events can there be?" ”

Wei Lihuang straightened his face, and saluted Yan Xishan with a standard military salute, and Yan Xishan hurriedly got serious.

Wei Lihuang put down his right hand and said solemnly: "Chief Yan, the General Staff Headquarters has an urgent report on the battle situation, late last night, the Baoshan Division severely damaged the 20th Division of the Yue Army at Niangzi Pass, killing and wounding nearly 20,000 people and capturing more than 10,000 prisoners!" ”

"What do you say?" Yan Xishan said in disbelief, "Niangzi Guan? The lady is a big victory! ”

Speaking of which, this Niangziguan is Yan Xishan's sad place, in July last year, the Battle of Xinkou, more than 30 divisions of the Jin Sui Army, the Central Army and half of the division of Sakagaki Seishiro reached a stalemate, as a result, the old devil Sakagaki sent an infantry brigade to attack Niangzi Pass, and the flank weakness of more than 30 divisions on the Xinkou battlefield was suddenly exposed to the front of the army.

The Sakagaki division pressed forward again, and the more than 30 [***] divisions on the Xinkou battlefield were defeated in a hurry, and finally even Taiyuan was lost, Yan Xishan's hard work for many years, all the industries, factories and mines and the Taiyuan Arsenal, all of them were fucking cheap, at that time, Yan Xishan really had the heart to find a crooked neck willow tree to hang.

"That's right, Niangziguan!" Wei Lihuang said happily, "Brother Bochuan, do you think this is a happy event?" ”

"Count, count, of course!" Yan Xishan nodded again and again, and then said with an awe-inspiring expression, "The future is terrifying, it is really terrifying, I heard that Yue Weihan, a young descendant, can fight, but I didn't expect him to slap Xiao Yuben in the face of the lady, this is to find face for someone who is even Yan, just rush this, someone else has to thank him well." ”

"This time, the Baoshan Division has dealt a heavy blow to the 20th Division of the Yue Army stationed in Shanxi, and as the chairman of Shanxi Province and the commander-in-chief of the Second Theater of Operations, even Yan can't fail to express himself." After that, Yan Xishan said to the adjutant standing next to him, "Go, go to the treasury immediately to withdraw 100,000 yuan, and then ask Yang Aiyuan to send a regiment to escort it to Shimen." ”

General Wei Lihuang next to him just smiled and said nothing, but he was insightful about Yan Xishan's intentions.

This Yan Laoxi is really exquisite, and he is worthy of being a master who can dance on three eggs!

Obviously, the Baoshan Division will not leave Taihang Mountain in a short period of time, and it is guaranteed that it will move to the southeast of Jin, or even the northwest of Jin, in order to avoid the Baoshan Division and the Jin Suijun grabbing territory in the future, it will first spend 100,000 oceans to make a point, that is too necessary, even if you can't be friends, then you can save some friendship, right?

Zhengzhou, the front-line command post of the Central China Front.

Early in the morning, the commander of the Central China Front Army, General Toshiro Hata, flew to Zhengzhou and convened the commanders of the general army to convene an emergency military meeting, and the defeat of the 20th Division in Shanxi at Niangzi Pass was definitely an unbearable blow to the plan of the entire Wuhan battle of the Yue army, and now, the army is facing an unprecedented crisis!

"Ladies and gentlemen." The sharp gaze of General Shunroku Hata swept over the faces of Naosaburo Okabe, Ninji Okamura, Heisuke Yanagawa, Twist of Higashikuer, and Jun Tada, and said coldly, "I believe you have all heard the news of the defeat of the 20th Division, and now, the Imperial Army is facing an unprecedented crisis!" ”

"The 20th Division stationed in Shanxi has been hit hard, and the 6th and 13th Divisions have been slow to act, and the original plan to open the Pinghan Line within half a month has completely failed!" As he spoke, Shunroku Hata glared at Tada Jun fiercely, and said, "In seven days, the eighteen divisions and regiments gathered on the battlefield in Wuhan will fall into the predicament of running out of ammunition and food!" Although the aviation regiment can airdrop supplies, it is absolutely unable to meet the operational needs of eighteen divisions and regiments, and the empire does not have such a huge airlift capacity! ”

"Your Excellency, General!" Tada Jun stood up abruptly and said with a face full of shame, "The defeat of the 20th Division and the slow movement of the 6th and 13th Divisions are all caused by the misconduct of command, and the lowly officials are willing to wash away their shame in the way of a samurai, please allow me to apologize to His Majesty the Emperor." ”

"Tada-kun." Shunroku Hata waved his hand and frowned, "Now is not the time to hold accountable. ”

"Hello." Tada Jun sat back at the moment, he was actually just making a gesture.

Most of the ordinary soldiers and middle and low-level officers have been brainwashed by the spirit of bushido, and they dare to cut their stomachs at every turn, and they don't take their lives seriously at all, but the senior generals above the division commander level are not like that, these senior generals have had the opportunity to contact the upper decision-making, and they know that the spirit of bushido is just a tool, so they naturally become life-saving.

"Order......" General Shunroku Hata said and stood up suddenly, followed by the five commanders present at the same time.

The fierce gaze of Shunroku Hata swept over the faces of the five commanders again, and then he said in a cruel voice: "The 6th and 13th divisions are stepping up to the north, and they must recapture Shimen in the shortest possible time and open up the Pinghan line, and the rest of the divisions and regiments must step up the attack on the Xue Yue Corps of the Chinese Army and the Jianghan defense line, and must end the battle within seven days and win the final victory!" ”

The little devil is going to fight quickly, but now he can only do it quickly.
