"Military seat, Wuhan telegraph."

Su Dao was inspecting the training of recruits at a recruit training camp outside Jinxi City at this time, and the military headquarters immediately forwarded the telegram to the recruit camp after receiving it, and the communications office of the recruit battalion did not dare to delay in the slightest after receiving it, and immediately sent someone to send the telegram to Su Dao.

Su Dao took the telegram and looked at it, frowned tightly, and talked to the recruits just now, saying that there is no need to worry about training, even if it will waste a little more time, it doesn't matter, but those main action essentials must be mastered, and those action essentials on the battlefield will save their lives.

But now it seems that what Su Dao said just now can only become an empty word, and Su Dao doesn't know whether the content on the telegram is true or false, after all, the two sides are separated by such a distance, and Su Dao has not planted his own eyeliner in the vicinity of Wuhan and other war zones, but I think Wuhan should not pit itself on this kind of issue.

"Send a report to the military headquarters and inform the division commanders to immediately go to the military headquarters for a meeting." Su Dao immediately ordered, but soon Su Dao realized that something was wrong, a few division commanders who were relatively close to Jinxi could quickly arrive in Jinxi for a meeting, but a few divisions in remote areas could not, even if they left immediately, and when they arrived in Jinxi, it would be tomorrow, and while the signal corps had not left, he directly changed his words: "Let them wait at the airports in various places immediately, inform the chief of staff, and let the air force pick them up." ”

The current situation is very critical, Su Dao has no more time to waste, the only thing he can do is to send the air force to pick it up, so that he can convene a meeting of officers at and above the division level of the whole army in two hours. The 99th Army now has 13 divisions with a total strength of more than 500,000 troops, and although 10 divisions are nominally local garrison units, no one in the 99th Army regards them as local garrison troops.

Clear-eyed people know that this is Su Dao expanding his army in disguise, but because there is no authorization from Wuhan, the maximum size of the 99th Army can only be three divisions in name, and it doesn't matter if Wuhan doesn't authorize it, you must know that Su Dao is the commander of the Sixth Theater, don't underestimate this position, he has the right to order the formation of local garrisons.

It's just that those troops will not be recognized by Wuhan, but on the whole, these troops are still legal in the Sixth War Zone, even if they go to other war zones, although they are not legal in name, but in fact people will turn a blind eye, who doesn't have a local surname in their hands?

However, for Su Dao's expansion of the scale of ten divisions in one go, others can only sigh, no one has the courage to engage in so many troops in one go, and more importantly, they don't have so many weapons and equipment to arm these troops, that is, they don't know Su Dao's secret, otherwise what should that group of people think? As everyone knows, as early as when he ordered the expansion of the army, Su Dao prepared the expected weapons and ammunition in the arsenal in each place, and the individual equipment was exactly the same as the original three divisions, and at the same time, the artillery brigade was expanded into an artillery division, and the scale was more than three times larger than the original.

As for the specifications of the artillery, this time Su Daoke did not reserve at all, the smallest caliber is 105 mm howitzer, and with the expansion of the army this time, Su Dao also directly exchanged ten 240 mm heavy guns, if this thing is really used on the battlefield, in the case of dense enemy troops, it is estimated that a battalion of troops will lie down.

As for the support artillery of each unit, it is 75 mm infantry guns and 60 mortars, of which 75 infantry guns are equipped with one per battalion, the regiment has an artillery company, under the jurisdiction of six 75 mm infantry guns, 60 mortars are delegated to platoon units, each platoon has one 60 mortars, that is to say, a regiment has ten 75 mm infantry guns and 64 60 mortars, this size of artillery is enough to complete the mission requirements in small-scale battles.

Although the firepower of the army is very strong, the most painful thing is that the recruits have not yet completed their training, which makes Su Dao feel that he has the strength but can't use it, after replying to the communication soldiers, Su Dao got up directly and left the recruit camp, and the recruits who originally gathered in a circle to listen to Su Dao's speech also touched their heads and didn't understand, what kind of trouble did the army commander want?

"Lao Wu, inform me that all recruit battalions will open their arsenals tomorrow, distribute weapons and equipment to each recruit, and speed up the training as soon as they receive the order, so that the barracks canteen can make the food better and supply it in unlimited quantities." After returning to the military headquarters, Su Dao directly began to command.

"Okay." After Wu Zhongguo answered, he went directly to inform him.

He saw the telegram from Wuhan before Su Dao, and he also knew the urgency of the matter, so he originally planned to discuss it with Su Dao first to see if it was necessary to speed up the training of some recruits, so as not to lack too many troops at that time, but now it seems that it is not needed, and Su Dao who he thought of has already thought about it.

After the order, Wu Zhongguo sat beside Su Dao with a deep face, looked at Su Dao who was in a daze, and didn't know how to speak.

The Ninety-ninth Army can be described as smooth sailing, and since its debut for more than a year, it has never been defeated, which makes the soldiers of the Ninety-ninth Army full of confidence, and they do not take the army too seriously, especially after fighting two battles in the northeast, the morale of the troops can be said to have reached its peak, although Su Dao and Wu Zhongguo have been constantly suppressing the atmosphere of the troops, but the two of them are not good at suppressing too much, so as not to cause any unnecessary embarrassment.

Originally, they weren't afraid of the Kwantung Army, but even if they were all dispatched? The 99th Army gritted its teeth, and with the cooperation of the air force and armored troops, it was no problem to hold the existing city, but now the Yue Army had made such a big move, which made them feel that it was a little difficult to do, and now it was a time when the troops were seriously insufficient and scattered, and the Yue Army was attacking on a large scale at this time, and they had no confidence of victory at all.

Moreover, as the air force of the Kwantung Army has recently appeared more and more frequently, and five sorties and 200 sorties of fighters have been dispatched to disturb Jinxi in one morning alone, Wu Zhongguo also feels that things seem to be going wrong. Unexpectedly, the bombing of Tokyo made them touch the tiger's ass, and now they are scratching their bodies, but there is nothing they can do.

"No, we can't let them come so smoothly, notify the Air Force, and immediately dispatch to start bombing the railway along the line between Cangzhou and Baoding to the south." Thinking of the content of the telegram, Su Dao couldn't sit still any longer, remembering that the other party had come to Beiping and Tianjin to assemble by railway transportation, Su Dao first thought of bombing the railway.

Once the railway is blown up, the army going north can only be carried out on foot, so that they can at least get an extra day or two of preparation time, although it is far from enough, but Su Dao can only be counted as one day, and the capacity of the railway is so large, they can bomb along the railway line all the way to the south, anyway, the voyage of the liberators is more than 5,000 kilometers, and it is enough to blow up the whole line.

But considering the problem of the range of the escort fighters, Su Dao could only start bombing from Cangzhou first, and if he could blow up the train transporting troops, it would be even better, so that he would be more trouble-free, not only delaying the marching speed of the army, but also carrying and destroying part of the army's troops, which can be described as a bomb for two purposes.

"Send a report to Wuhan, and say that the soldiers of the Sixth Theater will resist to the death, and they will never surrender even if they fight to the death." Su Dao then made another decision.

He knew very well the intentions of the Wuhan side, it was nothing more than to probe Su Dao's tone, and then they had a good chance to react, and the most important thing was how long Su Dao thought he could resist? For the Wuhan side, Su Dao is now left with only his nose, what do you like, the meaning on the telegram is also obvious, you can bear it, I will discuss sending troops here, if you can't bear it, you decide whether to fight or run, anyway, it's none of my business, and someone carries the black pot, which means that you can watch it yourself.

For this kind of reply, Su Dao was even more lazy, and directly swore to resist to the death, and never surrendered, so he told Chairman Jiang his attitude, whether to send troops to increase the number of troops is your business, whether you can fight or not is my business, anyway, my side will definitely fight, and if you can't beat it at that time, the people of the whole country will also accuse you of Wuhan political axe, not my sixth war zone.

Two hours later, the commanders of the 13 infantry divisions came to the military headquarters one after another, Liu Guodong of the armored division, Tang Pingyao of the artillery division, Wang Qingshui of the air force, Yang Shuming of the navy, and Lu Guo of the special forces came to the military headquarters one after another.

Many of them are old comrades-in-arms, all of whom were promoted from the previous position of brigade commander, and many of them used to serve in the same division, so after meeting, they did not have the strangeness of other people, and greeted each other.

"Okay, don't talk yet." Liu Sanpao frowned slightly, and couldn't help but remind.

As one of the three oldest division commanders, although these people are on the same level as Liu Sanpao in terms of military rank and position, everyone understands that they will never be on the same level as the three of them, and when the 99th Army expands its establishment again, these three people will definitely be the first choice for promotion, so when Liu Sanpao spoke, everyone also stopped their movements, and at the same time seemed to realize that something was wrong, the recruits were trained well, why did they suddenly pull so many people to the military headquarters?

However, before everyone could react, Su Dao walked in from outside the house, although Su Dao didn't like the performance of these people just now, but he didn't stop it, after all, everyone came with him, and it was understandable for old comrades-in-arms to shiver at each other, and after seeing that everyone stopped, Su Dao walked into the military headquarters.

"I won't say more nonsense, I called you here this time to do business, the intelligence just came from Wuhan, the Second War Zone and the Fifth War Zone and several other war zones suddenly became very abnormal, the Second War Zone and the Second War Zone have begun to slowly retreat to Taiyuan, and there are plans to abandon all the cities south of Taiyuan, and a division supporting the Fifth War Zone was directly pulled away before getting off the train, and the destination is likely to be Tianjin." Su Dao said directly, what annoys him the most in this kind of meeting is nonsense, directly point out the key points, and then everyone can do things as much as possible.

"There is no movement on the Kwantung Army's side at present, it is estimated that it is relatively close to us, and the Wuhan side guesses that this time the little devil is going to play a big game, and it is expected that the total number of troops will be gathered about one million." Su Dao then said what was on the telegram, and although all this was still speculation, all indications indicated that it seemed to be true.

"I know that you have all come from an ordinary soldier to today, and I also know that you have a large number of recruits, and there are still many difficulties in commanding a division's operations, but now I can't give you more time to adapt, the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, since the military department has chosen to let you people take on the heavy responsibility, you should have the courage to take on this burden. I don't care how much credit you have made before, I will not show mercy to anyone who dares to drop the chain this time. (To be continued.) )
