"Didi!"

"Tick!"

The telegraph kept sounding.

Xuancheng at this moment is busy to death.

There are military men everywhere.

All of them were dressed in different military uniforms.

There are yellow-green ones. It is of the Whampoa department. The number is small. Mainly sent to watch the battle and learn. Including some of the students of the 13th Whampoa Military Academy. They are about to graduate.

There are dark gray ones. It is from the Sichuan military department. Mainly 20 Army.

There is a muddy yellow one. It is the Han Fu Canal system. The main thing is the 55 Army.

There are dark blue ones, which are from the Shaanxi military department. The main thing is the 23 Army.

There are also black and gray ones, which are Qianjun. The main thing is the 86th Army.

And so on.

Like a hodgepodge.

The small Xuancheng gradually became a military town.

And a lot of women.

Those beautiful reporters who hurried back from Wuhu are using various channels to spread the information.

Many people sent people back to Hankow overnight to bring the photos.

At this moment, Hankou is still in the hands of the national army. All kinds of newspapers that were withdrawn from Jinling were also among them.

Because a large number of people had retreated from the front, Hankow was already overwhelmed. The population has more than tripled.

"Commander-in-Chief, this ......"

As Yang Sanmu's chief of staff, Zhao Wantong is very busy.

Although he claims to be a jack of all trades. But there are also a lot of things that can't be figured out. For example, why did this Zhang Chu publish a photo of the 130-mm heavy cannon.

Once the photos are released, the Japanese will know about them! Targeted measures will definitely be taken.

That's tantamount to revealing your hole cards too early.

"Let him go!" Yang Sanmu waved his hand.

Actually, he doesn't understand too much. But it doesn't matter. Zhang Chu can do whatever he wants.

Anyway, these 130mm heavy cannons were also brought by Zhang Chu. He himself is not afraid of losses. What are others worried about? Maybe these heavy guns are lost, and there will be new ones.

Previously there was an 85-mm cannon, and Yang Miki was already satisfied. I think I'm quite capable of fighting.

Unexpectedly, now the 130-mm heavy gun is also coming. It's only been a matter of time. If this continues, there may be 150 mm guns......

"Okay......"

Zhao Wantong then notified the release.

All journalists are allowed to leave with photographs of the 130-mm heavy cannon.

"Where is Zhang Chu?"

"I said I went to Jinling with a torpedo boat."

"This guy ......"

Yang Sanmu pondered for a moment.

Then keep your eyes on the large map on the wall.

Could it be that Zhang Chu is going to Jinling to reconnoitre? Does he really want a surprise attack on Jinling?

But......

It's really unlikely!

In the vicinity of Jinling now, more and more Japanese invaders are gathering.

From the Japanese mainland, transport ships worked around the clock to bring in large numbers of troops. Almost every three days, the Japanese added a division. This is equivalent to adding one wing per day.

Now, around Jinling, the Japanese invaders have deployed at least three complete divisions. 70,000 people.

If you add a little farther ones, the number of divisions is more than ten. Moreover, at least five divisions can be mobilized in a short period of time.

Jinling is not Anqing.

It is possible that the Japanese invaders will abandon Anqing. But Jinling will definitely not be abandoned......

Hey?

Wait a minute! Abandon?

Yang Sanmu suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind, as if he had thought of something.

Will the Japanese give up Anqing?

Will the Japanese invaders stick to Anqing?

If they stick to Anqing, the Japanese may need reinforcements. It is necessary to open up transportation lines.

However, if the Japanese invaders decisively evacuate Anqing, there will be no need for so many things. It is only necessary to order the Japanese invaders around Anqing to break through. Then the Japanese can retreat along the river.

Now the north bank of the Yangtze River is unimpeded.

Once so many Japanese invaders broke through, there were no troops at all to stop them.

The point is that Zhang Chu is not on the north shore.

"Chief of Staff ......"

"In!"

"Call immediately to ask, is there any sign of retreat of the Japanese army in Anqing?"

"Retreat?"

"Yes. In my judgment, Anqing Rikou may break through. ”

"Breakout?"

The Chief of Staff looked moved.

Hurriedly study the map. Then he nodded slowly.

What a thing!

Zhang Chu led the army to occupy Wuhu and cut off the Yangtze River waterway, but the Japanese invaders did not immediately deploy troops to counterattack, which was obviously not normal.

If the Japanese want to send reinforcements, at this time, they must have launched a counteroffensive.

Since there was no attack, it means that reinforcements were abandoned.

The Japanese invaders around Anqing can only break through all the way.

Call us right away.

"Send a report directly to Wang Yaowu, the commander of the 74th Army."

"Understood."

Zhao Wantong nodded.

If you communicate with others, it is time-consuming and laborious.

Among so many military commanders, the most far-sighted and pragmatic one is Wang Yaowu.

"What?"

"Breakout?"

Wang Yaowu, who received the telegram, was very surprised.

Anqing's Japanese invaders may break through? When was this? The good ones are fighting fiercely, how can they break through?

With the arrival of Li Yutang's Tenth Army, the national army launched an orderly attack on the Japanese invaders.

Both Lujiang and Tongcheng have been recovered. The periphery of Anqing is being besieged.

The Japanese defense was still very tenacious. Little by little, the national army is encroaching. Only a few kilometers can be advanced each day.

It is estimated that it will take about a month to take Anqing.

Indissoluble.

So I called back to ask.

Zhao Wantong immediately reported the relevant situation.

"What?"

"Zhang Chu captured Wuhu and cut off the Yangtze River waterway?"

"This guy ......"

When Wang Yaowu learned of the situation, he immediately realized that the fighter plane was coming.

There is indeed a possibility that the Japanese will retreat.

The Yangtze River channel was cut off, and the Japanese invaders could not open it in the short term, so they had to retreat. Otherwise, you will be trapped to death.

Even the planes of the Japanese invaders were shot down so much, how could the Japanese reinforcements be carried out?

"Chief of Staff!"

"In!"

"Order the troops to stop the attack and immediately build defensive positions to prevent the Japanese from counterattacking."

"This ......"

The chief of staff was somewhat surprised.

Isn't it on the offive? Why is it suddenly going to be defensive?

This is contrary to the orders of the superiors!

"The Japanese are going to break through."

"But there is not enough evidence to support ......"

"The Japanese are going to break through."

"Yes!"

The chief of staff hurriedly changed his tune.

It seems that Junzuo completely believed Zhao Wantong's inference.

In other words, it was believed in that Zhang Chu's fighting ability.

That guy really cut off the Yangtze River waterway. The Japanese had to retreat from Anqing.

A soldier who surrenders without a fight. Terrible.

However, the problem is that there are quite a few Japanese soldiers around Anqing, and if they desperately break through, they will definitely not be able to stop it by relying solely on a 74th Army.

The Japanese have three divisions!

There is also a Hata detachment!

Even if they suffer large losses, there are still tens of thousands of people.

With the madness of the Japanese invaders, if they concentrate their forces and desperately attack somewhere, the national army has almost no possibility of stopping.

It's terrible.

The problem is that if Wang Yaowu believes it, it doesn't mean that other troops will also believe it.

The most important thing is that Gui Yongqing will not believe it.

Gui Yongqing didn't believe it. Then the other national army units will not cooperate.

Wang Yaowu changed the combat deployment without authorization, and may even be held accountable.

This is no joke.

"I spoke to Commander-in-Chief Gui on the phone."

"Yes."

"Also, help me get through to the other commanders."

"Good!"

The chief of staff immediately went to arrange.

Obviously, Wang Yaowu is going to discuss with the army commanders alone.

If they believe, nature is a good thing. If you don't believe it, there's no way around it. can only watch the Japanese invaders break through.

Relying on a single 74th Army will definitely not be able to withstand it.

……

"Your Excellency, Jinling Emergency."

"Read."

Kenji Dohihara's voice was weak.

The situation took a turn for the worse, and he didn't even have enough time to react. Nor can I accept such a cruel reality.

Suddenly you're in trouble?

And it has almost nothing to do with him Kenji Dohihara? Are all pig teammates not giving strength?

Are navy red deer so bad?

In the Yangtze River waterway, two destroyers were sunk?

That's a destroyer!

That's a real battleship! It's all built up with a lot of money!

Not gunboats!

Not a toy!

Two ships were sunk!

It feels like the military expenses of the navy red deer are all eaten by dogs.

Every year, the navy red deer occupies so much military spending, but the final result is this hanging!

Very unpleasant......

When does the base camp meet?

Kenji Dohihara would love to participate.

Not for anything else. I just want to beat up those idiots of the Navy Red Deer.

Especially that Inoue Narumi. If you don't beat him all over the face, he doesn't know how powerful the army is! Navy red deer are a bunch of wreck!

But if the navy red deer gave a little bit of strength, the situation would not be so bad.

Well, now it's hard to ride a tiger.

"Yaga!"

"Yaga!"

Kenji Tsuchihara scolded.

Chief of Staff Takamatsu lowered his head. Don't dare to say anything. Mentally prepared. May be slapped by your boss.

He is a small big sa, in front of the lieutenant general, is a small fish and shrimp.

Frankly speaking, Kenji Tohihara was unwilling to retreat.

Retreating like this would have a great negative impact on the future strategy of the Japanese army. It's almost the same as admitting defeat.

Jinpu Road was not opened.

Springs was not recovered.

This had a great strategic impact on the Japanese invaders.

If Anqing wants to give up again, it will basically mean that he has been busy in vain.

Occupy a piece of the Pingjin area.

Occupy a piece of the Songhu area.

Invest so much manpower, material and financial resources to occupy two places?

Unwilling to ......

Absolutely unwilling.

If you continue to fight like this, how can you force the Chinese to surrender?

The Chinese will certainly not surrender.

Only by continuously advancing along the Yangtze River, oppressing all the way, can the Chinese be forced to surrender.

"Yaga!"

"Yaga!"

Kenji Dohihara continued to scold.

Even want to draw a knife. Smash everything in front of you. Fortunately, I endured it in the end.

Things are still turning around.

Breakout is not a big problem.

With the current strength of the 14th Division, the 13th Division, and the 23rd Division, it is very easy for the hedgehog to gather a regiment and break out.

The only thing to worry about may be the Hatada detachment. The losses it suffered were significant.

But it doesn't matter. Three divisions with one detachment, there will certainly be no surprises.

Therefore, Kenji Dohihara was not in a hurry to retreat.

There are also larger quantities of weapons and ammunition, as well as food supplies. Kenji Dohihara felt that he could still hold on.

"Takamatsu-kun ......"

"Yes!"

The chief of staff hurriedly bent down in response.

Very nervous.

"Order the troops to counterattack Tongcheng and Lujiang. Be sure to inflict heavy losses on the Chinese army. ”

"Yes!"

Takamatsu agreed.

Don't dare to question it in the slightest. Come out immediately and give the order.

At the same time, Kenji Dohihara also sent a telegram to Michitaro Komatsubara, the commander of the 23rd Division. The meaning is very simple, it is recommended to continue playing.

Soon, Michitaro Komatsubara called back, fully agreeing. He was not willing to let him fail.

Thereupon......

Anqing Japanese invaders launched a counterattack on all fronts.

……

"Hey, Fan, you really should be a chef."

"Later, the war of resistance will be won. You go and open a restaurant. Specializes in grilled fish. can make a lot of money. ”

"It's delicious, it's delicious......"

Zhang Chu praised it.

Fan Hao cracked his mouth and smiled. Bai Sensen's teeth are exposed. Like a great white shark.

Zhou Ming and Huang Li didn't dare to look at it more, thinking that he might really be able to eat people. I secretly speculated in my heart that this fish was also grilled. Even if it's not baked, maybe Fan Xue can eat it raw.

"Staff Officer Zhang, when are we going to counterattack Jinling?"

"Wait!"

"When?"

"Wait until the soldiers are strong! Otherwise, how can we fight back? ”

Zhang Chu was not angry.

This guy is simple-minded.

I thought I was really a fairy! With the flick of a finger, you can summon an army of millions!

Really.

Weapons and ammunition, I have. But no one!

No matter how good the weapons and ammunition are, they also need people to use them. People have to train. To be organized. To command. To coordinate. There's a lot of trouble.

The biggest drawback of the national army is that its execution is very weak.

If it is on the side of the Eighth Route Army, an order from above will be vigorously implemented below.

Half a month can pull out a team of tens of thousands of people.

It's not a joke.

You see, Li Yunlong is a typical example.

In about a month, more than 10,000 people were directly pulled up. If calculated according to this number, it will not be a loss to give him a division commander!

But here in the national army, everything is procrastinated.

Even Janssen is no exception.

We have to wait for them to discuss and decide and dispatch troops, and it is estimated that a week will pass.

Alas, he could not continue to waste time here.

Since Anqing Rikou is going to retreat, then I'd better go and help Wang Yaowu!

He did not know what was going on with the other national armies. However, at least this Wang Yaowu's 74th Army is still more active in killing Japanese criminals. Worth helping.

Immediately drove the torpedo boat back to the vicinity of Anqing.

Ashore.

Stopped by a group of national soldiers.

"Where's the commander?" Zhang Chu asked casually, "I want to see your division commander." ”

"Who are you?" A second lieutenant officer asked vigilantly, "What do you want to see our division commander for?" ”

"Your Master Yu asked me to come ......"

"I'm sorry, our division commander is not surnamed Yu."

"You are ......"

Zhang Chu's expression moved.

It's all strangers!

"You are from the 58th Division? Liao Lingqi? ”

"Who the hell are you?"

"I am Zhou Qing. The Zhou Qing who killed Zhang Lingpu, the commander of the 305 regiment. ”

"What? You! ”

The second lieutenant officer was stunned.

Killed the commander of the 305th regiment? The 305th regiment was not of the 51st division?

Subconsciously raise the gun.

As a result, he was grabbed by Zhang Chu and blocked in front of him.

"Don't move!"

"I'm going to tell you the teacher. Let's just say that Zhou Qing is back. ”

Zhang Chu shouted loudly.

The soldiers of the national army next to him looked at each other. Finally went to report.

"You guys are from the 58th Division?"

“……”

No one answered.

All the soldiers stared at him vigilantly.

If Zhang Chu made any abnormal moves, it could not be ruled out that they might shoot.

"Whew!"

"Poof!"

Suddenly, five packages fell.

Those soldiers of the national army were at a loss.

What is it?

"Take it apart!"

"It's full of weapons and ammunition!"

Zhang Chu shouted.

Some soldiers tried to take it apart.

Sure enough, there were more than a hundred Czech light machine guns inside. There is also a lot of ammunition.

Zhang Chu let go of the second lieutenant officer.

The soldiers of the national army were no longer hostile.

The other party is definitely not a spy!

The spy will give you so many weapons and ammunition? Isn't it stupid......

"Gear it all!"

"The Japanese can be killed at any time!"

Zhang Chu shouted.

Those soldiers of the national army are obedient to change weapons.

Czech light machine guns, which basically every soldier uses. It's true. So most of them switched to light machine guns.

"You guys are from the 58th Division?"

"Yes!"

"Your division commander's name is Liao Lingqi?"

"Yes!"

"It turned out to be his ......"

Zhang Chu was thoughtful. Another tragic figure.

Liao Lingqi, commander of the 58th Division of the 74th Army of the National Army, a young talent, in the fourth phase of Huangpu, has a bright future. But in the end, he was ordered to be shot by Lao Jiang.

The classmates of the commander of the 115th Division of the Eighth Route Army! Probably in the same class.

After Liao Lingqi was shot, Zhang Lingpu was promoted to division commander.

But later, Lao Jiang woke up again and felt that he was wrong. Liao Lingqi was unjustly killed. So he rehabilitated him again. But the grave grass is several meters high.

It's a pity......

The three division commanders of the 74th Army are not fuel-efficient lamps!

"The Japanese are coming!"

"Prepare for battle!"

Suddenly, someone whispered.

Zhang Chu turned his head and looked. It was discovered that it was a small team of Japanese criminals trying to touch it.

These soldiers of the 58th Division were also well-trained and prepared for battle without saying a word. Be silent. Keep the Japanese closer. up to a distance of almost 100 meters.

"Hit!"

"Da Da Da ......"

"Da Da Da ......"

The light machine gun that had just arrived was strafed.

The Japanese invaders, who were caught off guard, suddenly fell down. The others hurried back in embarrassment.

"Da Da Da ......"

"Da Da Da ......"

Light machine gun fire continued.

The Japanese who tried to escape were all killed.

"Boom ......"

"Boom ......"

Suddenly, a grenadier fell.

But behind the Japanese squad, there is also a squadron. Rushing up again without saying a word.

"Da Da Da ......"

"Da Da Da ......"

Light machine gun fire continued.

The machine gunners of the national army shot very accurately.

Soon, more than 100 Japanese criminals were killed. The rest retreated again in embarrassment.

Sloppy......

The Japanese were defeated.

They didn't expect that the opponent's firepower would be so strong!

Perverted!

Just the strength of a company, so many light machine guns!

Don't talk about martial virtues......

"Our regimental commander is here."

Suddenly, someone shouted. Zhang Chu looked up. A colonel was found.

Mutual notification of identity. I learned that the other party's name was Chai Yixin, and he was the commander of the 58th Regiment of the 169th Division. The nearby units of the National Army belong to this 58th Division. They were just east of Anqing.

"Head Chai, I am now known as Zhao Qing."

"Understood!"

Chai Yixin nodded.

He'd heard about it before.

That's a high-level business. It has nothing to do with him, the head of the regiment. He was only in charge of fighting.

"If the Japanese invaders break through......"

"You're the ...... to bear the brunt"
