"Woo-"

The air raid sirens sounded violently, because of the continuous harassment of the Japanese fighters during this period of time, coupled with the Chinese Air Force's courageous response, there were not many opportunities for the Japanese planes to really carry out bombing and low-altitude strafing, and the citizens of Nanjing were somewhat insensitive, but later, as the sirens sounded in the streets and alleys, and the gendarmes and police shouted from street to street, people came to their senses and dragged their families to the nearby air-raid shelters.

As the air raid sirens became more and more severe, people began to hug each other, screaming and cursing, and some people stopped moving forward, shouting "I don't believe it would be so unlucky" and turned back to their homes.

At this moment, in the eastern sky, there was a dull roar of aircraft engines, and those who were returning home raised their eyes to look at the distant sky, only to see a huge phalanx composed of black dots appear in the blue sky, the number was extremely terrifying, and it was getting closer and closer to the sky above Nanjing City.

"Oops, the little devil's plane is really here"

"Oh no, there are a lot of planes, this time it's real"

Those who were about to go home saw such a battle, and they immediately became confused, and hurriedly ran towards the air-raid shelter with their families.

"Look at our plane and the little devils"

I don't know who roared, the people who were running looked up, in the distant sky, there were planes beginning to attack the Japanese planes, the air clearly heard the detonation of the fighter plane's volley explosion or the sharp whistling and explosion sound when falling, the sky was densely covered with black and gray explosion smoke, it was terrifying.

On Fugui Mountain, Chiang Kai-shek stood in front of a cave on the mountainside, looking at the fires in and out of Nanjing, and the Chinese and Japanese fighters fighting in the sky, and his heart was gloomy.

Qian Dajun took a leaflet picked up by the guards from the mountain and handed it to Chiang Kai-shek.

Chiang Kai-shek glanced at him casually and snorted coldly: "It's a cliché, and it's telling me to stop resisting Japan and turn against it together." Common. If they were really sincere, they should withdraw from North China and stop at Songhu; now, it is clear that they are splitting our central government and messing with the morale of our army. ”

Qian Dajun didn't dare to reply, and quietly looked at the chaotic Nanjing City under the mountain.

Hearing the louder and louder explosions, Chiang Kai-shek's mood became worse and worse, and Yu Crisp turned back to the headquarters in the middle of the mountain to discuss the battle situation with the military committee and the bigwigs.

Chen Shaokuan, Minister of the Navy, was introducing the Japanese fleet to storm the Jiangyin blockade line on the map, and facing the Liuhai sofa cannon at the Langshan River, when Lin Wei walked in with a telegram and said with joy: "Chairman, great victory, Wu Ming's department has won another brilliant victory"

"Poof—"

Qian Dajun had just taken a sip of the teacup from the guard's hand, and when he heard it, he sprayed the tea on the wall in shock, wetting the corner of the map in front of him, but fortunately, Chiang Kai-shek's attention completely attracted the "great victory" in Lin Wei's mouth.

"What a big victory? Wu Ming has made war exploits again? Chiang Kai-shek was a little surprised.

Qian Dajun took out a handkerchief and wiped his mouth, and asked, "Now that the Japanese army is advancing in unison, there is bad news everywhere...... Wu Ming won't lie about his military exploits, right? ”

Lin Wei glanced at Qian Dajun dissatisfied, and shook the telegram in his hand: "This is not sent by General Wu Ming, but a battle report sent to the Central Committee by Zhang Xianghua in the name of the Right Wing Army Headquarters. With General Xiang Hua's character, Brother Mu Yin thought he would lie on such a matter of principle? ”

Qian Dajun swallowed a mouthful of saliva and closed his mouth in embarrassment.

Chiang Kai-shek sighed: "Wu Ming is really a victorious general, and the new second division has repeatedly performed miraculous feats, and he deserves to be the first elite of the party-state."

Seeing Chiang Kai-shek's unprecedented evaluation of the new Second Division, Lin Wei smiled and reminded: "The commission is the military exploits of the temporary Third Division."

"Temporary Third Division?"

Chiang Kai-shek was slightly stunned. Although he personally signed the order to upgrade the new Second Division to a corps-level unit before, he only glanced at it at the time, where did he have time to look at the specific number

"It is the temporary third division, that is, the unit formed by the transfer of the new second division, the second brigade and the first part of the supplementary brigade." Lin Wei patiently introduced to Chiang Kai-shek.

"Oh"

Chiang Kai-shek nodded in relief.

Lin Wei turned around and introduced the specific situation to Chiang Kai-shek and the bigwigs of the military committee: "According to General Zhang Xianghua's war report, the temporary third division launched an attack on the Japanese Kunisaki detachment entrenched on the front line of Miaogang at 6 o'clock in the morning, and after ten hours of fierce fighting, killed the detachment leader, Major General Kunizaki Noboru, and captured a large number of weapons and equipment, but they did not take anything and handed them over directly to friendly ......."

"Good"

Chiang Kai-shek praised loudly, and said to He Yingqin, who was full of shock: "Respect, although Wu Ming is arrogant, he still has a general understanding of the overall situation, and the Ministry of Military Affairs allocated a batch of weapons and equipment to the new Second Division a few days ago, and you are still not happy, how do you see it now?" They immediately repaid the party-state with their living achievements"

"Yes, the commissioner is right. Aside from some shortcomings, General Wu Ming is indeed a general who can fight well," He Yingqin said with a smile, but he slandered Lao Jiang in his heart. Not long ago, Chiang Kai-shek was also single-mindedly controlling Wu Ming and the new Second Division, and now he has changed his face so quickly that He Ying admires him very much.

Chiang Kai-shek was in a better mood, and asked with a smile: "Respectfully, Wu Mingbu has made meritorious deeds again, how do you say it should be rewarded?" ”

He Yingqin's face instantly darkened, and he spread his hands helplessly: "Commission, the finances are very difficult now, and the reward has just been awarded, I think it can be appropriately relieved." ”

Chiang Kai-shek's face was gloomy, and after a while, his face returned to normal, and he turned to Chen Bui, who also had an ugly face: "Yan Ji, the Ministry of Finance has repeatedly suggested printing fiat currency, and you, Yongzhi, and Ziwen are strongly opposed...... I see that the state affairs are difficult, so I will agree. 50 million yuan was printed in advance, and 1 million was allocated as special military expenditure to reward Wu Ming and the temporary third division"

"It's-"

Chen Bui hesitated slightly, but seeing Chiang Kai-shek's haggard face, his eyes were full of expectation, and finally nodded: "Okay, I'll go and call, I believe that Mr. Kong and President Song will understand the difficulties of the chairman, and the first batch of fiat currency will be in place soon." ”

After Chen Bui left, Chiang Kai-shek looked at the map: "The temporary third division defeated the Japanese Kunisaki detachment, and the losses were great, right?" ”

Lin Wei nodded: "The battle report said that the new Second Division originally suffered heavy losses in Pinghu, and most of the newly formed Temporary Third Division were recruits. Although the Kunisaki detachment was successfully defeated this time, its own losses were also very large, and I heard that there were four or five thousand casualties."

Chiang Kai-shek did not know that the number of casualties of the Third Division of the Provisional Dao Division had increased several times -- Long Shaogang was reluctant to make a false report at first, but he could not resist the persuasion of Dai Ziran and Yang Sixian, so he exaggerated his words in order to win the sympathy of the Theater Command and Chairman Chiang, and to strive for the right to receive additional weapons and equipment and new troops first.

Lin Wei handed the battle report in his hand to Chiang Kai-shek, Chiang Kai-shek turned two pages, handed the report to Qian Dajun, who was eager to try, and glanced at Lin Wei:

"The Kunisaki detachment is the main force of the 5th Division and the 9th Brigade, right? If you think about the performance of the Itagaki Division on the Shanxi battlefield, you can see how strong the Kunizaki detachment was, and it was completely understandable that there were so many sacrifices. The Third Provisional Division has achieved such a great victory, and the personnel must be replenished on a priority basis. Weizhi, what do you think should be done? ”

Lin Wei pondered slightly, and suggested: "Commission, if not, you can order eastern Jiangxi, southern Anhui, southern Jiangsu and western Zhejiang, and Wu Mingbu will recruit troops at will."

Under normal circumstances, the national army has to recruit troops in designated defense areas, and it is really taboo to recruit soldiers across regions, and Lin Wei's proposal is equivalent to expanding the scale of the new Second Division in terms of troop selection several times. I have to say, the opening is very wide.

Chiang Kai-shek pondered for a moment, nodded and said: "It's okay, the party-state can't treat the heroes badly, the more at this time, the more we must reward those troops who are dedicated to fighting for the country and sincerely resist, and we will never tolerate those who are honest and violent, stealing and cheating." ”

Speaking of this, Chiang Kai-shek glanced at Bai Chongxi, who was there with the old god.

Bai Chongxi didn't seem to hear anything, and still looked at the map intently, as if there were flowers on it

The news of the rout of the Kunisaki detachment blew up Matsui Ishine like a thunderbolt in the clear sky, Matsui Ishine supported the table with both hands, and his face changed several colors, first red, then iron blue, and then bared his teeth and cursed viciously: "Bagaya Road"

Matsui Shigen couldn't suppress the anger in his chest, and with a wave of his hand, he swept the official documents and telegrams in front of him to the ground, his eyes were red, as if he wanted to choose someone to eat.

The chief of staff, Major General Mamoru Iinuma, coughed lightly and admonished: "Commander, the defeat of the Kunisaki detachment has happened, please calm your anger." ”

"Yo West"

After sorting out his emotions in a moment, Matsui Ishone's face returned to normal, and he sat back in his chair: "Have you figured it out?" Which branch of the Chinese army defeated the Kunisaki detachment? ”

"Judging from the information sent back by the intelligence department, it should be the third division of the new Shina Temporary, that is, a newly formed unit split by the new second division," Mamoru Iinuma replied cautiously.

"It's Wu Ming again, this damn new second division"

Matsui Ishine gritted his teeth. Since the outbreak of the Battle of Songhu, the Japanese navy and army have repeatedly suffered heavy losses from the new Second Division, and now Wu Ming and the army under his command have become a nightmare for all Japanese soldiers.

What is even more odious is that a mysterious Japanese-language radio station has recently emerged, which has spread the achievements of Wu Ming and the New Second Division among the Japanese army through news programs, and has trumpeted the horror of Wu Ming and the New Second Division, causing a huge commotion and dealing a heavy blow to the morale of the Central China Front.

Matsui Ishine's heart was so confused that he had a splitting headache for a while, he stretched out his hands and pressed his bulging temples and asked, "Where has Sonobe and Ichiro's Seventh Division arrived?" ”

Mamoru Iinuma pointed to the map on the table: "Due to the complete destruction of the railways and roads by the people of China, coupled with the frequent cold guns and mine attacks on the march, the 7th Division is slow to move, and it has just passed through Jiaxing City and is heading towards Kipshi Town, and it is expected to arrive in Kipshi tomorrow afternoon."

Matsui Ishine stood up, leaned over to look carefully at the map, and suddenly gave an order: "Call Sonobe and Ichiro, and ask him to immediately take the 7th Division to the north, and together with the 2nd Division, will attack Nanxun." With four main divisions in the battle, I will smash all the defensive lines that the Chinese army has painstakingly managed"

Mamoru Iinuma hesitated a little: "Commander, the base camp sent the second and seventh divisions to join the Central China battlefield to encircle and annihilate Wu Ming and the ...... of the new second division."

"Go and give the order, I already have a new combat plan, I believe that Wu Ming and the new Second Division will not be able to escape" Matsui Ishine waved his hand, interrupting the words of the chief of staff, the corners of his mouth trembled slightly, and a sinister smile appeared on his face.

Mamoru Iinuma wanted to ask Matsui Ishone about his new plan, but when he saw Matsui Ishone's resolute look, he had to keep his mouth shut.
