......Several tanks were blown up, but a succession of tanks continued to pour into the position. The Japanese army is crazy, and they are desperately attacking the position.

Several small tanks were also sent to the front line, desperately fighting for the positions of the Central Army

The positions of the Central Army continued to shrink back, not because they were not brave enough, but because the Japanese attack was too crazy. Under this kind of desperate tactics, the Central Army, which was already inferior in equipment, retreated even more completely.

A regiment of the Central Army, which was newly supported to the position, was blown off by Japanese artillery fire on the way. Those who rushed to their positions were confronted with strafing fire from Japanese tanks and heavy machine guns.

But the Central Army had no way to retreat, not to mention that even the Inspectors in the ordinary troops were forced to join the charge due to the situation. But the effect of such a battle can be imagined.

In front of them, the Japanese tanks were destroyed, but what awaited them were more Japanese tanks and those Japanese grenadiers and heavy machine gun units that came up.

In the air-raid shelter in Wuchang City, Chen Cheng said softly to Jiang Zhongzheng with a look of gunpowder on his face: "Principal, now is the most critical time. The bombardment by the Japanese tank units and planes was so fierce that I guess we would not be able to hold the city of Wuchang. Please also ask the principal to make plans as soon as possible......"

Jiang Zhongzheng's face was cloudy, and he pursed his lips and said nothing. What can he say? The current situation is like this, all of his own air force has been destroyed, and the current airspace of Wuchang City is all under the control of the Japanese.

As for why the Japanese attacked like crazy, he was also clear in his heart. The Japanese wanted to annihilate him completely, and then free up their hands and feet to clean up the tiger.

But Jiang Zhongzheng is still struggling in his heart, if someone is carrying the black pot, then it is okay to say. But he sat in Wuchang City, but he lost the soldiers below and fled for his life, which spread that he must have no prestige as the chairman of the committee.

What's more, now the Japanese are blockading everywhere, and they have broken through several times and have been beaten back by the Japanese. A large area of Japanese ships patrolled the river day and night, and they didn't mind a shot on even a small ship. I just can't go

Jiang Zhongzheng didn't squeak, and no one dared to speak. Chen Bui and Yang Yongtai exchanged glances. In the end, it was Yang Yongphing's mouth that preached to Jiang Zhong.

"Chairman, the mountains are not worrying about firewood. The current situation is already very critical, and the chairman himself is concerned about the safety of the party and the state. Don't ignore it, Chang Qing thinks it's best to find a way to get out of this dangerous place......"

Jiang Zhongzheng smiled bitterly, it was not the first time he had thought like this. But where is there any safe passage? Everywhere was blocked, and there were even gunboats on the river.

A rash breakthrough may be just a sheep into the mouth of a tiger.

"Chairman, we originally thought that we could wait for reinforcements to prevent it. Correct. Now the battle situation has not yet arrived, and the Japanese offensive is in full swing. Our defeat is due to withdraw and wait for the coming day......"

Jiang Zhongzheng knew that Yang Yongtai's words were telling him that it would not be safe to retreat at that time, and it would likely lead to the collapse of the entire Wuhan garrison. Furthermore. Without more than 200,000 troops to garrison Wuhan, it may not be safe to be exposed to the Japanese offensive.

Yes, considering that this was the reason why the defense of Wuhan would be carried out at that time. But now the situation is different, and the Japanese army has attacked like crazy. The more than 200,000 defenders of Wuhan are now filled with at least 100,000 people

If this kind of fight continues, Wuhan will fall in a week or even three or five days at most. And the Japanese reinforcements were already on the way, and Hu Zongnan and Tang Enbo's troops were fighting with them, and they could not withdraw to support.

There are only two people left in Wuhan now: waiting for death.

There is a risk in walking, and you may die, but after all, there is a glimmer of life. stay, then there is no doubt that the result is that the city was broken by the Japanese army. After the city was broken, waiting for Jiang Zhongzheng to confirm their fate could be thought of in any way.

"Changqing...... What do you think? Speak up and listen. After being silent for a long time, under the rumbling cannon, Jiang Zhongzheng sighed deeply and said to Yang Yongtai.

Yang Yongtai turned his face to look at Chen Cheng, and the meaning was very clear: I have already opened this mouth, and you should do the rest.

"Headmaster, rhetorically suggests that you withdraw in disguise." Chen Cheng paused, and said to Jiang Zhongzheng, "We found a few priests. It's British. We can contact the British and have the British and Japanese communicate to pick up their expatriates. The principal also asked for a temporary grievance, disguised as a domestic servant, and evacuated from Wuhan......"

There are a large number of churches in Wuhan, including Eastern formal churches and Gothic churches...... And so on can be seen everywhere in Wuhan. Among them, the more well-known ones are Hankou Orthodox Church, Wuchang St. Michael's Church, Xianzheng Street Catholic Church, Hankou Rongguang Church, and Hankou Salvation Church...... Wait a minute.

With a large number of churches, it is natural that there are a large number of pastoral staff. Because of the outbreak of the Battle of Songhu, most of the pastors in the churches have now withdrawn with their own troops.

Only a small number remained. and was responsible for taking care of the wounded soldiers of the Central Army.

And I have to say that Chen Cheng's method is excellent. The only things that can pass on the Yangtze River now are ships flying British and American flags. And as long as these priests ask for it, Britain will definitely do something.

It was impossible for the Japanese to embarrass Britain for this, so at most they would check it and let it go. This gave Jiang Zhongzheng a chance. Although there are risks in this matter, the risk is minimal compared to breaking out.

"Chairman. The rhetoric says it is extreme. Chang Qing also believes that it is most prudent to break through in this way. Yang Yongtai saw that Jiang Zhongzheng was still very hesitant, and then said.

"Chairman, the son of a daughter can't sit down, and besides, we can still mislead the Japanese army into thinking that the chairman is still in Wuhan. So that they did not pay much attention, and the chairman of the committee took the opportunity to break through and command the army to relieve the siege of Wuhan......"

Yang Yongtai and they also have their own ideas, in fact, the reason why the Japanese army attacked so frantically was nothing more than to completely annihilate the main force of the Central Army, and more importantly, to kill Jiang Zhongzheng.

If Chiang Zhongzheng was no longer in Wuhan, then the Japanese offensive would naturally slow down somewhat. And Jiang Zhongzheng, who escaped, could return to Chongqing to command the army to launch an attack on the Japanese army directly from the periphery.

Don't look at the fierceness of the Japanese attack now, but these troops are already the only ones who can directly fight among the attacking Chinese troops. The rest of the troops were either surrounded on the trip to Nanking or fought in Tianjin.

Hundreds of thousands of Central Army attacked from the periphery, and the Japanese lost a strategic objective, so it was extremely likely that they would automatically retreat. Even if the Japanese army continues to attack, the chances of breaking through Wuhan will be greater under the internal and external attacks.

Without Jiang Zhongzheng on the periphery, many troops could not be mobilized at all. Only when Jiang Zhongzheng went out could he mobilize more troops to fight.

In contrast, it seems that Jiang Zhongzheng will be better off if he leaves Wuhan. But Yang Yongtai can't say it explicitly, Jiang Zhongzheng himself knows.

After being silent for a long time, Jiang Zhongzheng finally said softly: "Rhetoric...... You go ahead and arrange it."

"Don't worry, principal, it's all over to me" Chen Cheng nodded, and then went down to find those priests to send a report to the UK. Half an hour later, a telegram reached the British consul in China.

The telegram came from Wuhan and was sent by five British pastors who had been left behind in Wuhan. They telegraphed that they had been received by Chairman Chiang Chung Chin and told them that the Japanese offensive was becoming more and more intense.

The chairman himself intended to live and die with the entire city of Wuhan, and as a Christian, the benevolent chairman decided to let them and some believers withdraw from this dangerous area.

Therefore, they sent a telegram to the British Consulate to request that the British Consulate communicate and coordinate with the Japanese side. And look for ships so that they can safely evacuate Wuhan.

The British consul who received the telegram was all big, and he scolded in his heart: What is Nima called? Earlier, because there was a certain danger, they were asked to withdraw. As a result, these gods were unwilling to die, but now they have figured it out. But will the Japanese withdraw for you?

Last time they even blew up the U.S. and Mobil Oil ship, and this time they can let you come easily? Do you really think this is your vegetable market?

But these priests are not simple people, and it is a matter of face for Britain. The consul had no choice but to forward the telegram back to England.

Chamberlain was very happy, and he approached the American consul and hoped that the American ships could pick up the British nationals. At the same time, it shows that these expats are pastors.

Subsequently, Chamberlain approached the German consul and telegraphed to the current German Foreign Minister Ribbentrop. Ask him to act as an intermediary to communicate with Japan.

Hitler's re-reception of Hiroshi Oshima and his invitation to dinner were all made public. Chamberlain clearly smelled that Japan was trying to make good relations with Germany, so it would be better to leave this matter to Germany than Britain itself.

Ribbentrop said yes, and then found Hiroshi Oshima. Hiroshi Oshima did not dare to slack off, and quickly telegraphed to Tokyo. There is no objection to the east embarrassment, why not sell it well with just a few priests?

Moreover, the Japanese Army is pro-German and does not reject this matter.

Therefore, the matter was resolved in just five hours. The Japanese agreed to the British priest's request to evacuate Wuhan, but demanded that the ships must be inspected.

Britain felt that this condition, although harsh, was acceptable. The two sides agreed that the three men would be picked up by American merchant ships in Wuhan early the next morning.

Jiang Zhongzheng received the news and was obviously relieved. After disguise, Chen Cheng and others secretly left their office in the bomb shelter.

All this did not alarm anyone. Along with Jiang Zhongzheng, there were also some military commanders and guards. Most of the chairman's guard and office staff remained......

ps: Give grandma some pocket money and buy a cigarette for grandpa. I bought a carton of milk for my cousin, who was only a few years old, and I felt very comfortable. When you have time, go back and see the old man more. The old man will be very happy, even if it is too far away or because he can't go back from work, then the old man will be very happy. Encourage you to do so.
