"Bagaya Road—"

In Nanjing, not long after moving here, there was a sudden roar almost like the roar of a beast in the commander-in-chief's office, which made people outside a little frightened. But what is it that makes the commander-in-chief of China's 850,000-strong military force so angry?

"Boom Boom ......"

Nishio Shouzo was indeed extremely angry. If it weren't for his old age and frailty, he might have lifted his wide desk by now. But what's the use of smashing the entire office?

"Did Okamura Ninji's call go through?"

Gasping for breath incessantly, Nishio Shouzo raised his head to his secretary again, Minamizo Yunko.

"Connected." Nanzao Yunzi held the phone in his hand and bowed his head slightly, not daring to look at Nishio Shouzo's eyes, which were almost red.

"Give it to me."

"Hey."

……

"Your Excellency, Commander!"

"Commander Okamura!" Nishio Shouzo gasped, "Zhilu said, why should I call you for Lu?" ”

"Zhilu Dao." Okamura replied in a deep voice, his face equally gloomy.

"Sugiyama Gen is dead! Yamashita Bongbun is also dead! Although he knew that the other party already knew the way, Nishio Shouzo still gritted his teeth and retold the bad news, "Since the beginning of the war, we have never had a precedent for an officer of the rank of general to be killed. This is a shame for the Great Japanese Empire! This is a disgrace for the entire Chinese army! This is also a shame for the 11th Army you lead! ”

"Hey!" Okamura Ninji Tachimasa, "I will make a statement to the base camp on this matter and take full responsibility!" ”

"It's none of your business—" Nishio Shouzo suddenly roared, "Sugiyama Mototo and Yamashita Fumimi are two idiots, and it's their own fault." You don't have to bear any responsibility for their deaths. ”

"Your Excellency Commander Ke......" Okamura was stunned.

"I want revenge! For our honor. For the honor of the empire, the Chinese sent troops must take revenge on the Chinese. Nishio Shouzo gritted his teeth, "I now approve your request, and use the 101st and 106th divisions as the main force, and I can also approve you to use more troops, even if the entire 11th Army is mobilized for me." But you must guarantee that you must take Nanchang, you must cut off the Zhejiang-Jiangxi railway, and cut off the main communication line of the enemy in Anhui Province and Zhejiang Province! ”

"I promise!"

"If you can't do it, you, and all the divisional and regimental officers who participated in this battle. I'll order you to cut yourselves! ”

"You're not going to get a chance to give that kind of order." Okamura Ninji had a gloomy face, "I, and the entire 11th Army, will not give you such a chance." ”

"Good!" Nishio Shouzo's tone softened slightly, "What else do you need?" Heavy artillery. Tank wing, or more troops? ”

"No, you don't!" Okamura Ninji tilted his head slightly. "I'll only use the three divisions I've prepared. That's it! ”

“…… Have you decided? Nishio asked.

"It's decided. You will soon receive a report from us on the victory over Nanchang! ”

"Smack!" Okamura Ninji put down the phone and looked at the chief of staff Yoshimoto Sadachi who was in front of him, "Inform the commanders of the divisions and regiments participating in the war, and say that I will hold a pre-war meeting again!" ”

……

"How many troops did Commander Okamura decide to transfer?"

Taking Nishio Shouzo's phone and putting it down, Nanzao Yunzi asked cautiously again.

"There is no change, it is still the original three divisions." Nishio Shouzo replied a little dazedly.

"What?" Nanzao Yunzi was shocked. "Only three divisions? Nanchang and its vicinity were assembled more than 30 divisions of Luo Zhuoying's right flank of the Ninth War Zone. With only three divisions, can it work? ”

"Okamura Ninji is at least more reliable than Sugiyama Moto." Nishio sat down in a daze, "Moreover, I also understand his thoughts. He had only planned to transfer three divisions. If additional troops were to be deployed at this time, the original plan would have to be changed. The movement of the army will be hidden from the eyes and ears of the Chinese, and it will be impossible for one or two months. In that case, even if we conquer Nanchang by then, the damage caused to the empire by the deaths of Sugiyama Gen and Yamashita Hobun will be difficult to repair. ”

"But if it doesn't work out......," Nanzao Yunzi worried.

"If you don't succeed, you will become a benevolent!" Nishio Shouzo lowered his face again, "Okamura Ninji will give us a passable explanation." ”

“……”

*********************************

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhou Zhirou ordered the Fifth Air Force Group to dispatch and dump leaflets on Wuhan...... After the initial nervousness of the Japanese army, they hurriedly collected these propaganda 'bombs', but they did not expect that at this time, Wang Hanxun, the captain of the Fifth Brigade, led a squadron of planes directly to the headquarters of the Japanese 11th Army at Wuhan University! Sugiyama Mototo and Yamashita thought that the Air Force was going to demonstrate to them, but they felt that it was just a leaflet, and they couldn't do any actual damage, so they didn't leave, and as a result, a squadron of bombs sent the two directly into the sky! There wasn't even a whole corpse. ”

"Okay." Bogu clapped his hands and shouted: "Sugiyama Yuan and Yamashita Fengwen led their North China Front Army to commit a monstrous blood debt in the north, and they deserve to pay for their blood debt today!" ”

"Yes, these two Japanese criminals are 'public security' and 'purge' in North China, and they don't know how many bloody cases they have caused with their devils, and they should have such an end." Ye Jianying also agreed.

"Commander of a front, general; Chief of Staff of the Army of One Front, Major General! Since the beginning of the war, China has never eliminated such a high-level enemy...... Happy, happy! We want to congratulate Lao Chiang and the Air Force. Zhou Enlai also smiled.

"It's not just for Lao Jiang and the Air Force, I see, the whole of Chongqing has to celebrate these days." Dong Biwu said with a smile.

"I just don't know when we can have such an air force that can fight well." Ye Jianying suddenly sighed.

"Yes, look at the arrogance of the devil air force some time ago, and then look at the majesty of the old Jiang air force today, this has air supremacy, it just feels different." Bogu also sighed.

"It's not going to be far. Sooner or later, one day we will also have such an air force, even bigger, more and stronger. Zhou Enlai said.

"That's a boost." Ye Jianying smiled and changed his thinking expression again, "But don't you think it's strange?" The Air Force wasn't that powerful before. The two sorties destroyed nearly 500 Japanese planes. This is not just a simple matter of making the Japanese break their muscles and bones, this is directly crippled by a leg. Think about the past, every time the Air Force attacked, even if it could make some gains, it often killed 1,000 enemies and lost 800 of its own losses. It's not as majestic and domineering as it is now. ”

"It's a pity that we have always paid too little attention to the Air Force, and there are all old Jiang's baby bumps, which are very strict, and it is not easy to penetrate." Dong Biwu frowned. The air force suddenly seemed to have changed a group of people, winning two battles and two victories, destroying the Japanese in the air in the Huguang area. This is not only as simple as boosting the enthusiasm of the Chinese people for the war of resistance, but also giving a boost to Lao Jiang's group. As for Chiang Kai-shek, he just can't be too proud, and if he is proud, he will cause trouble. But the problem is that Lao Jiang is now more than just proud. In addition, some time ago, it was an oil field, and it was a French weapon or something, and the bald head can be said to be arrogant. Not to mention anything else, Hu Zongnan, Lao Jiang's number one protégé of the Son of Heaven, gathered 300,000 regular troops and local armed forces in Shaanxi, but that guy was different from Wei Lihuang in Zhongtiao Mountain, Wei Lihuang's target seemed to be the Japanese army in Shanxi, but Hu Zongnan was aimed at the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningbo border area, relying on a large number of soldiers, and surrounded the border area from the south and northwest, and blockaded the border area, and many of the materials needed by Yan'an could not be transported now. In addition, Hu Zongnan has also created friction many times, and there have been more than 100 cases so far. In addition, Zhang Yinwu from Hebei, Qin Qirong from Shandong, and Xu Yongchang from Hunan...... All of them followed Lao Chiang's instructions, saw the Japanese in front of them nowhere to be seen, and turned their targets to the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army. and that Yan Laoxi'er, who actually said something during the meeting, "Only by resisting Japan second, and preventing communism first can we gain a foothold"...... Although they protested many times, Lao Jiang simply ignored them. Even if there are occasional cases that are dealt with under the pressure of public opinion, they only arrest a few small characters, and there is no problem with one of the main ones, and all kinds of documents against their Communist Party have no intention of canceling them.

"According to our intelligence at the top of the government, the reason why the Air Force has been able to achieve the current results may be because Soong Meiling has appointed a new Chief of Staff of the Air Force. But it's a pity that the Air Force has made many great contributions, from Zhou Zhirou to the pilot, almost all of them have been named in the war report and received awards, but this person has never appeared in public. Zhou Enlai said suddenly.

"Enlai, you can't be talking about that guy again, right?" Bogu's face was a little ugly. He had already discovered that as long as Zhou Enlai sold the guanzi, he might mention someone.

"That's right, that's the guy." Zhou Enlai smiled, "I only thought that his background was very deep, so he could eat well in front of Chiang Kai-shek." Now it seems that we still know a lot about him......"

"But people have rejected our kindness several times." Ye Jianying smiled bitterly.

"If people refuse, let's ignore it?" Zhou Enlai smiled, "What's more, we all know that he is surrounded by some Kuomintang spies...... I'm afraid that even if you want to ignore us, there is no way. ”

"What do you mean...... Contact him again? Bogu asked.

"If we come forward and make Chiang Kai-shek wary, then send someone else. In any case, it is also necessary to test his true attitude towards our party and our army. If it is hostile, then we should guard against such a potentially terrible enemy in advance; If we don't help each other, like many people, then we can try to fight for it; If he is sympathetic and more oriented towards us, then don't we have a good helper? Zhou Enlai said.

But since he moved out of the Guanyin Nunnery Shelter, there has been no trace. Even those high-ranking Kuomintang officials didn't know where he lived and how he could get in touch. ”

"There's always someone to ......" (to be continued......)
