Wang Zhangxu, commander-in-chief of the 29th Group Army, received a telegram of "Wuchang is in an emergency" as soon as possible.
"Bang!"
Wang Zhangxu, who was born in the Sichuan Army, stood up, pointed at the officers in the conference room, and roared angrily: "Ge Laozi, the little devil is very insidious, and I don't know where it came from, and it actually hit our rear." ”
"Just now, Chief Xue of the war zone, with a phone call, scolded Lao Tzu, since Lao Tzu left Sichuan, how could he have suffered such a bird anger!"
"Now, the little devil is attacking Wuchang, and we all know about it, if it weren't for the alertness of the Wuchang defenders, Wuchang would have been lost, and he would have lost it ~ grandma ~ long ago!"
At that moment, a group of officers of the Sichuan Army asked for battle.
"Commander-in-chief, I am willing to lead my troops to go to Wuchang immediately to rescue."
"Commander-in-chief, give an order, if you delay it any longer, Wuchang is in danger!"
"All the officers and soldiers of the 67th Army are willing to be the pioneers of the rescue!"
Immediately, the commander-in-chief, Wang Zhangxu, did not hesitate at all, and said in a deep voice: "Xu Shaozong, I order you to immediately lead the 67th Army and rush to Wuchang to rescue!" ”
After a pause, he said: "Xu Shaozong, you listen to Lao Tzu, within 4 hours, if you can't catch up with Wuchang City, Lao Tzu will be the first to shoot you!" ”
"Yes!"
Xu Shaozong, commander of the 67th Army, shouted: "Within 4 hours, if my 67th Army can't catch up with Wuchang City, I don't need to do it with you, Commander-in-Chief, I will cut it myself to thank the world!" ”
Xu Shaozong, a native of Qingxian County, Hebei Province, is currently the commander of the 67th Army of the Sichuan Army, with the rank of lieutenant general.
In the early years, he was ordered to suppress the Communist Party many times, but he often released water, and he once ordered: "What does the dispute between the two parties matter to my soldiers?" If you have the ability, let's also learn from the Red Army to go north to resist Japan, what kind of ability is fighting in the nest? ”
In December 1949, Xu Shaozong led his troops to revolt in Guanghan, Sichuan, and made indelible contributions to China's reunification.

The Ninth Theater Commander's Department, Acting Commander Xue Yue's Office.
Notes: The commander of the 9th Theater of Operations, originally Chen Cheng.
He was an absolute confidant of Chairman Chiang, and was known as the "stand-in for the chairman" and "the junior chairman", but as early as January 1938, he was transferred to the Sixth Theater and served as the commander of the theater.
Xue Yue, because he is not a descendant of Chairman Jiang, although he has outstanding ability and is in a high position, he is not Chairman Jiang's confidant.
In August 1938, he succeeded as the "acting" commander of the 9th War Zone.
The word "generation" lasted for more than a year, and it was not until September 1939, during the first battle of Changsha, that the word "generation" was removed.
The reason for this is actually related to Chairman Jiang's employment criteria, which have three criteria:
First, a soldier from the Whampoa department, this is the old team of Lao Jiang's family;
Second, fellow villagers in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, of course, if they are born in Fenghua Xikou, it is the best;
Third, absolute loyalty to the chairman.
Those who have all the above three points, the Kuomintang~Democratic~Party group, only Chen Cheng is alone!
Xue Yue shouted at a group of officers: "What are they all doing to eat, and they actually let the Japanese army pass through several of our defense lines one after another and reach the rear, do you know what this is?" ”
"It's a shame!"
"It's not that I, Xue Boling, am a disgrace, but that our entire Ninth War Zone, 470,000 officers and soldiers, have all become the laughing stock of the party-state!"
Hearing this, all the officers below were extremely ashamed.
470,000 people, on the periphery of Wuhan, laid several lines of defense, and let the little devils unknowingly touch the rear, this is not a shame, so what is a shame?
Xue Yue said again: "Wang Zhangxu of the 29th Group Army has now sent a force of troops to aid Wuchang, if Wuchang can be saved, we still have room for reinforcement." ”
"However, if Wuchang is lost, then I, Xue Boling, and all of you here, will be sinners of the party-state, what face do I have, goodbye to the 40,000,000 compatriots of the motherland!"
When the words fell, the officers were even more ashamed, and their faces were extremely red.
"Chief Xue, you just let me lead my troops back to Wuchang!"
"Yes, the number of Japanese troops attacking Wuchang now is unknown, and only with the Sichuan army with backward weapons and equipment, I am afraid that they are not the opponents of the little devils."
"Commander, give an order, Wuchang can't be lost!"
"If Wuchang is lost, the three towns of Wuhan will all be in danger!"
"If Wuhan is lost, then my millions of soldiers of the national army will completely become rootless!"
"Wuhan is the rear of our army, and all the material supplies of our front-line troops will be completely interrupted."
For a time, the entire theater commander's office was filled with a solemn atmosphere.
The three towns of Wuhan are the rear of the 1.1 million national ~ army participating in the war, and the front-line troops, all the materials, ammunition, and supplies are all dependent on the rear of Wuhan for allocation.
Once the supply is interrupted, no matter how brave the soldiers of millions of countries ~ are, there is no ammunition, no food, no medicine, what can they do to fight the Japanese army like tigers and wolves?
Not to mention holding on for half a month, I'm afraid I can't even resist it for 10 days, so the result of welcoming the country~ army and soldiers is bound to be a big defeat.
Millions of countries ~ armies will not survive one in ten.
The main force of the national ~ army, once it is lost, then what will the whole of China do to resist the Japanese army?
Wuchang can't be lost!
The three towns of Wuhan can't be lost!
At this moment, Xue Yue, the commander of the theater of operations, frowned tightly, facing the request of the officers and soldiers to lead his troops to come back for reinforcements.
Xue Yue categorically vetoed it!
"Nonsense!"
"Now the situation in Wuchang is unknown, the strength of the Japanese army is unknown, once we draw troops from the front line and return to Wuchang, then the strength of our front line will be in a very empty state, and many defense lines will become very weak.
"What's more, our front line is hundreds of kilometers away from the rear of Wuhan, even if it is cavalry, it will take 2 days at the earliest, and even if we rush to Wuhan, we will be unable to recover from the sky, and we will be caught in the front and rear attacks of the Japanese army."
Suddenly, all the officers were extremely unwilling, but they all knew that Xue Yue's words were right.
"Damn!"
A lieutenant general gritted his teeth and said, "Then we can't just watch it!" ”
Hearing this, Xue Yue's eyes were focused, and he said firmly: "The only thing we can do now is to guard the front line at all costs, and we must not let a little devil cross our defense line again!" ”
"As for whether Wuhan can be defended, it all depends on the Wuhan defenders and the 29th Group Army!"
"This will be a gamble, a big gamble that concerns the lives of millions of my country~ soldiers!"
"I Xue Boling still don't believe it, I wait for the officers and soldiers to use their lives, and I can't hold a Wuhan!"
"This gamble, we will definitely win!"
For a time, Wuchang, one of the three towns of Wuhan, became the focus of attention of the entire Ninth War Zone and even the entire National ~ Military Group.
If Wuhan falls, then the rear of Sichuan and Chongqing will open the door, and the whole of China will be in danger of defeat.
Whether Wuhan can be held now depends on the three regiments in Wuhan and the 29th Group Army in the direction of Longyan Mountain.
But no one knows that these thousands of people in the White Tiger Column are the first combat strength to guard Wuchang!
