Wuhan.

With the retreat of the army, the streets of Wuhan gradually returned to the prosperity of the past, as the capital of the Republic of China, the development of Wuhan can be said to be changing with each passing day, although it is in the war years, but here, it seems to be singing and dancing, there is no sign of war.

If Shanghai is a city that never sleeps, then Wuhan can also be called the second city that never sleeps, the capital moved to Wuhan, so that the nightlife here has become more abundant, and the civil servants of various government departments will also go to the song and dance halls and other entertainment venues to have a recreation after a tiring day, after all, the pressure of work during the day is too great.

They only saw that these people, as civil servants, could call for wind and rain, but they didn't expect that every decision they made was tormented and afraid of making mistakes. These ordinary civil servants still have time and opportunity to come out and relax, and those high-level people are not as good as them, in the middle of the night, Chairman Chiang's office is still the same people during the day, even the dinner is delivered from the canteen, it can be said that except for going to the toilet, they basically stay in that office.

The depressing atmosphere made everyone feel a little out of breath, and these people were casually released, and they were all princes of one side, which one of them was not a person with real power and stomping his feet, and the whole Republic of China would tremble? But now, they wish they were just a small person, and when they started a fight, they ran to a safe place, and they came back when they didn't fight.

The victory in the defense of Wuhan did not make them feel happy, because it was not the result of their efforts, the Yue army only gathered about 300,000 people, while they gathered 1.1 million people, but although Wuhan in history made the Yue army suffer, but in the end it was occupied by the Yue army, so you can imagine the pressure on them.

The victory was only temporary, and each of them knew very well that the main reason for the retreat of the Yue Army was because of the problems on the part of the Kwantung Army, and the 99th Army launched two large-scale battles in the northeast one after another, both of which ended with the defeat of the Kwantung Army, which forced the Central China Dispatch Army attacking Wuhan to have some concerns.

Because it was no longer possible for the Kwantung Army to draw troops to support them, and once the rear defense line of the troops attacking Wuhan was cut off, more than 300,000 Yue troops would fall into a situation of running out of ammunition and food and being counter-surrounded, so after the two wars, for the sake of safety, the Yue army still retreated a little back a certain distance, which not only maintained a certain pressure on the Wuhan side, but also forced them not to dare to sneak attack their rear.

The anger of Emperor Showa and the condemnation of the people of Yumoto forced them to retreat and the bombing of the people made them, the commanders of the front line, have to stop the battle in front of them and send as many troops as possible to the northeast to solve the headache of the 99th Army.

The Central China Dispatch Army, the North China Front Army, and the Kwantung Army are the three main front armies of the Yue Army in the war of aggression against China, and these three armies have also had a head-on confrontation with Su Dao, and they also know that Su Dao is difficult, so in this matter, everyone unanimously maintained the highest vigilance and did not have any contempt at all.

The encounter of the 14th Division also clearly appeared in front of their eyes, a division of more than 20,000 people, six and a half hours of annihilation, this is beyond their bearing, even if it is a temporary formation, insufficient training, backward equipment, numbered after 100 divisions, they are sure that in the face of the siege of many Chinese troops, at least three days, or a week and remain undefeated.

The matter of the 14th Division completely broke the arrogance of the Yue Army in the past, although this situation never appeared in other aspects of the war, everything was the same as before, but the Yue Army did not dare to slack off, because before the 14th Division was destroyed, it was also singing and triumphant, just when they were about to occupy Lanfeng, the 99th Army suddenly appeared, quickly wiped out the 14th Division in six and a half hours, and then quickly crossed the Yellow River, throwing off the tracking of the Yue Army.

It can be said that because of the sudden appearance of the 99th Army, the Yue Army was originally in the strongest period in history, and it became precarious, especially in this kind of battle between entire countries, it is common to move the whole body with a single trigger, just like Su Dao's previous actions on the national defense line, originally put on a look of being ready for battle, who knew that after the artillery bombarded for a while, it suddenly retreated?

It is precisely for this reason that the North China Front will be worried, and it has to slow down the war in the war zone in the second war zone, and at the same time strengthen the defense of the critical area with the northeast, as long as Su Dao does not attack the North China Front, there will not be any big problem on the side of the Central China Dispatch Army, but in the end, Su Dao's actions still made them have to shrink the front.

Although the five divisions of 150,000 soldiers were all new recruits, there were one-third of the veterans in them, which made the nerves of the North China Front tense up all of a sudden, and the Central China Dispatch Army was also forced to retreat under pressure.

"Commission, it seems that this Su Dao is determined to fight." Bai Chongxi listened to the report of the communications staff officer, and said with a frown.

"Niang Xipi!" Chairman Jiang scolded angrily with some helplessness.

For the current situation, it is obviously beyond Chairman Jiang's expectations, although he expected that Su Dao would definitely fight, but acting should be the most important thing, and it is also possible to run away after a fight, after all, the army is very likely to gather millions of troops, but they only have 500,000, and there are 300,000 recruits, this battle cannot be fought at all.

But I didn't expect Su Dao's reply to be a decisive battle, isn't this forcing the central government to send troops, and now Chairman Jiang can be said to be difficult to ride a tiger, and it is not to send troops, nor is it to send troops, it is very tangled.

"Bench, in my opinion, we have to fight this battle, and now we are going to discuss how to fight? When to play? Who to send to fight? Bai Chongxi reminded Chairman Jiang at the right time to prevent him from straying into other aspects.

"There is a shortage of materials, the large-scale movement of troops alone is a problem, and these logistical problems such as ammunition supply can also crush us, if we participate in the war this time, it is estimated that we will have to gather more than half of our country's troops to fight a decisive battle with the army in Hebei and other places, once it fails, the consequences are unimaginable, and who do you think is now capable of commanding an army of more than two million people to fight at the same time?" Chairman Chiang sighed.

He also knew that this battle had to be fought, but the problem was that there were no supplies and no ammunition, and he had to go to the enemy's occupied area to fight, and it would be fine to fight for a day or two, but once this battle started, it would be over in a month or two, thank God, what would they do to supply the soldiers on the front line? Moreover, Chairman Chiang did not think that anyone was capable of commanding an army of more than two million men at the same time.

Don't look at the commanders in various theaters who command thousands of troops, but at most they only command hundreds of thousands of people, and they are full of loopholes, which can always allow the army to seize the loopholes to attack, not to mention the war of so many people, even Chairman Chiang himself is not sure that he will go into battle, so not only in terms of materials, but also in terms of personnel, it is also a headache.

"Open the spare grain depot and armory?" Bai Chongxi asked tentatively.

Every year when the grain is harvested, Chairman Chiang will collect a part of the grain and put it into the spare grain depots in various places, in order to prepare for emergencies, and every time the troops are replenished, Chairman Chiang will also seize the next part of the ammunition and guns, and then put them in the spare armory, now the situation is so urgent, the only way is to open these two warehouses to support the front line, otherwise this war will become a one-sided massacre in the future.

"Inform the commanders of each theater to come to Wuhan for a meeting and then decide." Chairman Jiang sighed deeply, the spare grain depot and armory are his savings for many years, although it is very likely to be opened now, but it doesn't matter, when he did this, he was prepared for the present, but after all, this is a battle of millions of people, Chairman Jiang does not dare to make a decision easily, he can only hold a meeting to understand the number of troops that can participate in the battle in each theater before making a decision.

After receiving the order, the commanders of the various theaters did not have the slightest doubt, anyway, every year they had to go to the capital to hold several meetings to report on the situation in the theaters, according to the time they should have gone to Wuhan for a meeting, but because of the problem of the defense of Wuhan for the time being, it was temporarily delayed, and now that the defense of Wuhan is over, they should naturally go to Wuhan for a meeting.

The most unexpected thing is that in the list of this meeting, Su Dao's name is impressively listed, and although the other theaters of the army feel a little abnormal, they have not yet thought that it is aimed at the six theaters, but they know that the army will definitely make a big move next.

And after receiving the notice, Su Dao also had a pain in the egg, Jinxi is nearly 1,300 kilometers away from Wuhan in a straight line, and the Liberator bomber is no problem, but this BF109 is very, only about 700 kilometers of range, and through Shandong and other places, there is no place for them to refuel.

In the end, Su Daosuo's surname asked Wuhan for a leave of absence on the grounds that the war was tight, there was no fighter escort, Su Dao didn't dare to go to Wuhan on such a stupid bomber, looking for death, isn't it, the air force in the customs is also not to be underestimated, and now is the time to use the air force, and it would be a big loss to go to Wuhan to make so many planes unable to perform the mission.

Everyone was not surprised to see Su Dao's refusal, anyway, this meeting was to discuss whether to support the Sixth War Zone, Su Dao didn't come just to let them speak boldly, and they wouldn't offend him, so Wuhan quickly responded to Su Dao, saying that they would send him the main content of the meeting after the meeting.

And Su Dao was too lazy to take care of them, what do you like, Wuhan was busy with the meeting, while Su Dao was busy preparing for the war, the transfer of troops has begun, and it is expected that all the troops will arrive at the predetermined place before tomorrow night, and the troops that have not been mobilized will continue to increase their training.

The news that the army might attack had already spread, and Su Dao didn't think to hide anything, but the expected strength of the attack was concealed by Su Dao, so as not to scare these recruits into training well.

The Pinghan Railway and the Jinpu Railway have been blown up several gaps, and he will not be able to continue to operate in a short period of time, and as time goes by, more and more railways will be blown up, and the navy is also going to sea for training under Su Dao's strict orders, and by the way, patrols are carried out in case the navy suddenly dispatches. Everything is ready, now the training of the troops is complete, and then it is time to go into battle. (To be continued.) )
