"Nani?"

"Wuhu lost?"

Gu Shoufu felt incredible.

I just received a telegram from an unknown source here, and it has been fulfilled over there?

It's only been a few hours!

Don't be so cruel!

What kind of Chinese army is so strong in attack?

In less than three hours, Wuhu was conquered?

It feels a little scary......

The previous information, how come it was not mentioned at all.

In the past, intelligence about China said that the Chinese army was very weak in combat effectiveness. Vulnerable.

Why are there so many ace troops all of a sudden now?

Not to mention the Eighth Route Army in the north, even the New Fourth Army in the south seems to be very capable of fighting.

Now, I don't know where the new troops came out. It seems that the combat power is super strong?

What a headache.

"Your Excellency......"

The chief of staff came in.

He brought the latest news. None of the other national armies moved unusually.

In other words, it was the previous clear code telegram, which should be a suspicious strategy.

The real purpose of the national army is not Jinling.

"Quack ......"

Gu Shoufu was puzzled.

Since it's not Jinling, what kind of place is it?

What exactly do the Chinese want to do? What is the capture of Wuhu to do? It can't be a joke for no reason, right?

The calmer the opponent, the more anxious Gu Shoufu became.

It always feels like something is going to happen.

"Ask the 41st and 42nd Divisions what the situation is on their side."

"Yes!"

The chief of staff immediately called.

As a result, the phone was connected. There was no disturbance.

There were no guerrillas pinching telephone lines.

The 41st Division was stationed in Liyang, and the 42nd Division was stationed in Ma'anshan to defend Jinling.

Both divisions were fully staffed. However, the technical weapons are insufficient. Not even the number of infantry guns was fully equipped. 75-mm mountain artillery and 90-mm mortars were also insufficient.

The pace of the main expansion was too fast, and the number of artillery pieces could not keep up. Therefore, these two divisions could only take a defensive position for the time being.

When the artillery is fully equipped, the two divisions will be put on the offensive.

In addition, the 43rd, 44th, and 45th divisions, which are coming one after another, will also be put on the offensive.

The base camp is a big investment. Be sure to crush the Chinese army. Otherwise, the consequences will be unimaginable.

"Your Excellency, are you sending troops to recover Wuhu?"

"No!"

Tani Shoufu refused.

There is no need. Let's find out the situation first.

The strategic location of Wuhu is not so important. As long as the Yangtze River waterway is still in the hands of the Japanese army.

"Chief of Staff."

"In!"

"Let's send a telegram in clear code, too. Let's just say that we will send 100,000 troops to recover Wuhu. ”

"Yes!"

The chief of staff agreed.

It feels ridiculous inside. Is this going to be a war of words?

Wuhu has just been lost, not to immediately send troops to regain it, but to invent the code telegraph?

Does it work to scare people?

The Chinese are not simply scare. They really conquered Wuhu.

It is estimated that now, Chinese journalists are crazy.

They will certainly render this victory to the sky. Then come to the clear code telegram, that is to add fuel to the fire!

But there is no doubt. Just execute the command.

Soon after......

All the radio stations received the telegrams sent by the Japanese in clear code.

Including military radios. There are also civilian radio stations.

This includes both overt and secret stations.

For a time, the undercurrent surged.

The happiest are the journalists. They finally got the first hand on the news. Wuhu immediately became the focus of their attention.

Yu Chengwan: ???

What's going on?

The Japanese want to send 100,000 troops to recover Wuhu?

Doesn't that mean......

"There are actually troops to conquer Wuhu?" Chief of Staff Fang Weihan felt incredible.

"How long has it been since the previous clear code telegram?" Yu Chengwan also felt ridiculous.

"Three hours."

"Oh?"

Yu Cheng was shocked.

Three hours? Just three hours, take Wuhu?

It's amazing!

In a place like Wuhu, the Japanese army stationed at least one brigade, right?

As a result, a charge was solved?

What an exaggeration......

Who did it?

"There's a grapevine......"

"Say."

"Someone revealed that Zhang Chu had arrived in Xuancheng ......"

"Zhang Chu is Zhou Qing?"

"Yes. The military commander has already confirmed it. Zhang Chu is Zhou Qing. ”

"Huh. Their noses are very bright. ”

"It is estimated that Zhang Chu also participated in the attack on Wuhu."

"He's not involved. He is the mastermind. ”

Yu Chengwan's expression was complicated.

If Zhang Chu was involved, everything would be explained.

It's as if they recovered Lujiang. Make the impossible possible. He still had only one division. But around Wuhu, there are more national troops.

"It's a pity ......"

Fang Weihan sighed silently.

learned that Zhou Qing was Zhang Chu. They all have mixed feelings.

They all know that someone in the upper echelons has a very bad relationship with Zhang Chu. There have been many fights between the two sides before. As a result, Zhang Chu was driven to the red side.

Now, Zhang Chu has just come back and fought hand in hand with the national army, and another Zhang Lingpu incident has emerged.

I don't know which tendon is wrong with this Zhang Chu. Why can't you get along with Zhang Lingpu? Is it because Zhang Lingpu shot his wife?

Indeed, in this matter, there are people above who bend the law for personal gain.

Now it's okay, Zhang Lingpu is dead, and Zhang Chu has also run away. Their good wishes have been disappointed again.

Alas, the egg hurts......

If there was no Zhang Lingpu incident, it is estimated that the national army would have besieged Anqing by now.

With the arrival of Li Yutang's Tenth Army, the boss was determined to make a fuss in Anqing. Anqing must be taken. All the Japanese troops around Anqing must be annihilated!

"This ......"

"Wuhu ......"

Also hurting is Li Tianxia.

He hurt even more.

Because Zhang Lingpu is his subordinate.

Zhang Lingpu was killed, and he, the division commander, must be held responsible. If you don't do it, you will be dismissed.

What a flying disaster!

Who knew that Zhang Chu would come to such a show!

Who knew that Zhang Chu actually used the pseudonym Zhou Qing!

I don't understand why Zhang Chu has such a big grudge against Zhang Lingpu.

Could it be that he is coming for Zhang Lingpu?

Joke!

Exchange a dozen 105mm howitzers for a Zhang Lingpu?

Then you don't need Zhang Chu to speak out by himself. The national army itself dragged Zhang Lingpu out and shot him. And then in exchange for ten 105mm howitzers!

"Teacher's ......"

The chief of staff stopped talking.

Li Tianxia nodded. Try to keep your spirits up.

That's it anyway. Love is what it is.

"Perhaps, Zhang Chu really wants to counterattack Jinling. Taking Wuhu is only the first step......"

"Impossible!"

Li Tianxia shook her head.

In the vicinity of Jinling, there is no main force of the national army!

What did Zhang Chu do to fight back?

It's all a bunch of fish belly!

Han Fuqu's, Wang Jialie's, those are all seventh-rate characters!

Even if Zhang Chu is an immortal, it is impossible for him to use a seventh-rate army to counterattack Jinling, right? Even with weapons and ammunition, it is not possible to turn the belly into a bone in a short time.

"Teacher's ......"

Suddenly, a staff officer hurried over.

He looked a little nervous.

Li Tianxia knew that trouble was coming.

Sure enough, the staff officer reported nervously, saying that someone from the military commander was coming to investigate.

"Let them in!"

"Yes!"

The staff officer turned and went out.

Soon after, someone came in. But it's a captain.

Li Tianxia was a little surprised.

How? The military commander has only one captain to deal with?

For such a big thing, at least a major should come, right? Could it be that the military commanders deliberately handled this matter in a low-key manner?

"Master Li. Humble Zheng Yaoxian. The captain of the military commander took the initiative to introduce.

"Please." Li Tianxia nodded.

I can't figure out what the attitude of the military commanders is.

Let's be honest!

Anyway, when Zhang Lingpu was killed, he himself was not present.

Maximum dismissal......

"Division Commander Li, when did this Zhou Qing come to the 51st Division?"

"Senior Commander Li, who did Zhou Qing have contact with?"

"Master Li, Zhou Qing ......"

Zheng Yaoxian asked methodically. Business.

But Li Tianxia gradually seemed to smell something abnormal. From beginning to end, Zheng Yaoxian only mentioned Zhou Qing.

There was no mention of Zhang Chu at all.

However, there are rumors outside that Zhou Qing is Zhang Chu. If it is fake, it will be replaced.

It is also not known where the news came from. It may be the military commander. But now it's weird. The military commander did not mention the name Zhang Chu.

There is something strange.

"Well, that's all I need to know. Master Li, do you have anything else to add? ”

'No, there is no more. “

"Now, Zhou Qing's whereabouts are unknown, please be patient and wait for news."

"Okay."

"If you know the whereabouts of this Zhou Qing, please let us know as well."

"Okay."

"Attention, we're looking for Zhou Qing."

"Understood!"

Li Tianxia hurriedly replied.

If he hasn't reacted yet, he's really a stupid donkey.

It's all Zhou Qing's fault!

It was Zhang Lingpu who was killed by Zhou Qing. Zhou Qing is the culprit.

Therefore, the person who the military commander wants to arrest is also Zhou Qing. And not what Zhang Chu, Zheng Chu, Wang Chu and the like.

Recognize this name - Zhou Qing!

"Farewell!"

"Goodbye!"

Li Tianxia sent Zheng Yao away first.

Looking back, I feel like I've made a big fuss. actually greeted a small military commander captain in person.

Really. And what about the military commanders? What can the military commanders do with themselves?

You see the people up there are also seeing the wind and rudder.

If Zhang Chu appears next time, well, when the time comes, he will definitely not be called Zhou Qing. It may be called Zhang Qing, Chen Qing, Wang Qing or something. That has nothing to do with Zhou Qing.

"Teacher's ......"

"It's okay."

"Master, what does this mean?"

"What do you mean? What else could it be interesting? Since he can help Zhang Lingpu get rid of his crimes, he can naturally help this Zhou Qing get rid of his crimes...... Wrong. It's Zhang Chu. ”

"That ......"

"Next time, as long as we don't use the names Zhang Chu and Zhou Qing anymore, we will treat it as if nothing happened."

"This ......"

The chief of staff was a little puzzled.

He's an upright man. I think this kind of thing is too incredible.

Zhang Lingpu killed his wife, but he was not sentenced to death. can actually make a comeback, and he can also be the head of the regiment. He already felt incredible.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Lingpu is now killed, and the past is also covered up.

just grabbed Zhou Qing and didn't let go.

As long as this "Zhou Qing" does not appear again, everyone pretends to be deaf and dumb.

Zhang Lingpu also deserved it.

"Alright, it's okay. Let's keep beating ours. ”

"Oh......"

"I estimate that Zhang Chu will appear next time. We have to behave. You can't let others look down on you. ”

"Shizuo, you just said that you are counterattacking Jinling......"

"If I'm not mistaken, in Xuancheng, there are quite a few troops under Yang Sanmu's command, right?"

"It's a lot. But ......"

"Perhaps, this Zhang Chu has the ability to turn decay into magic!"

"Also to ......"

The chief of staff was thoughtful.

It's not everyone's cowardice. Many soldiers can be changed.

As long as there are good weapons and equipment, morale is boosted, and soldiers will naturally become more and more able to fight. The combat effectiveness of the troops will also be tempered gradually.

Taking Wuhu is the first step.

In fact, it is. After winning the first battle, the morale of the troops was greatly improved.

Many soldiers felt that in fact, the Japanese were not a big deal.

You see, a large group of Japanese criminals was easily blown up.

If you want to say who is the most tired, it is estimated that it is those who carry shells. In the battle just now, there were too many shells.

"Commander Fu!" Zhang Chu shouted loudly.

"Adjutant Zhang, you say." Fu Xiangnan hurriedly came up from behind.

For Zhang Chu, he is now more and more admired.

If nothing else, let's just get so many artillery!

"I'm going to give you three regiments of heavy artillery. In the future, you will be responsible for guarding Wuhu and blocking the Yangtze River. ”

"What?"

Fu Xiangnan was stunned. Then I was surprised and delighted.

I was surprised that I had taken on such a heavy responsibility. To defend Wuhu. Want to blockade the Yangtze River? You can do it yourself.

Happily, Zhang Chu wants to give himself three heavy artillery regiments! What kind of heavy artillery is that?

105 mm howitzer?

"It's a 130-mm heavy cannon." Zhang Chu was straightforward, "The range is more than forty kilometers. Even compared with the 127 mm naval guns of the Japanese invaders, they are not inferior. ”

"What?" Everyone around was stunned.

Oh, my God!

130 mm heavy cannon!

The firing range is 40 km!

That's amazing!

With such a long range and so much power!

Isn't that ......

Deploying artillery positions directly on the shore will block the Yangtze River?

"Yes!" Zhang Chu nodded, "You immediately take the whole army and build nine artillery positions around Wuhu." Twelve 130mm heavy cannons are deployed in each position! ”

"Yes!" Fu Xiangnan blurted out.

Sincerely.

Seriously, his troops, hand-to-hand, did lack courage.

However, if they were armed with a 130mm heavy cannon and engaged in long-range fire against the Japanese naval guns, they would not be intimidated at all.

I'm not afraid to be tired at all.

Those artillerymen just now, tired and happy.

Fear of death is fear of death. But I'm really not afraid of hardship, I'm not afraid of tiredness. They also have a little bit of dignity.

"Blockade the Yangtze River?"

Bai Huizhang and Bai Kainan looked at each other.

That's a bit big! It will definitely cause the Japanese invaders to go crazy and trap the beasts.

Why?

Because in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, there are several divisions of the Japanese invaders.

Around Anqing, there may be close to 100,000 Japanese invaders. They are the main force of the Japanese invaders. Including the 14th Division under the command of Kenji Dohihara, and so on.

If the Yangtze River channel is cut off in Wuhu, it will really be a hornet's nest.

Whether it is the Japanese in Jinling or the Japanese in Anqing, they will go crazy.

"Adjutant Zhang, do you want to think about it carefully?" Bai Kainan tried to say, "Such a big matter, shouldn't it be discussed with Commander-in-Chief Yang?" ”

"I'll send him a report right away." Zhang Chu nodded.

Of course, Yang Sanmu must be informed of this matter.

Because the consequences are really serious. It could cause all the Japanese to go crazy.

Previously in Quancheng, the Japanese invaders suffered heavy losses.

In Texas, two more divisions were surrounded.

However, in these two battles, the Japanese lost two divisions at most.

However, if Anqing is surrounded, it will not be two divisions. At least three full-fledged divisions, and the Potian detachment or something. Conservative estimates put at least 70,000 or more.

The Japanese will never be able to bear it.

Crazy measures will definitely be taken. I want to break the siege.

This is a strategic change. At that time, the whole of South China may act because of this battle.

"I agree!"

"You just do it!"

As a result, Yang Miki's callback was very simple.

So, Zhang Chu immediately set about arranging heavy artillery.
