War of Resistance

Chapter 775 Defend Wuhan

A heavy rain filled everything with vitality, but it also created opportunities for some people with ulterior motives.

For example, amidst the heavy rain, Shigeichi Hada commanded his troops to brazenly launch a surprise attack on Anqing.

In this pouring rain, gunshots rang out all night.

Caught off guard and poorly equipped, the Sichuan army was driven out of Anqing overnight under the heavy siege of the Japanese elite.

In this regard, Yang Sen, the commander-in-chief of the No. 20 Seventh Army, seemed to have no other choice but to express his helplessness.

"Fuck me, why are these little Japanese so powerful?" Walking back and forth in the general headquarters, Yang Sen was cursing as he walked, angry that his troops hated iron for being weak.

"Boss, what should we do now?" Xia Jiong asked Yang Sen. After all, the latter is the backbone of this army. Without him, the No. 20 Seventh Army of the Sichuan Army might cease to exist.

"What else can I do? What else can I do? Apart from looking for other reasons, what else can I do? Otherwise, we will all be shot!" Yang Sen was obviously in a bad mood, after all, Anqing died overnight. It was lost. For him, it is very likely that he will be shot. If you don't believe it, look at Han Fuqu. This is the best example.

"Boss, I heard about the humble job. Hefei was also lost yesterday." Xia Jiong said in a deep voice.

"Okay, great." Yang Sen's eyes lit up, as if he had found a reason.

Yang Sen waved his hand and said, "General, tell Generalissimo Jiang the news of Anqing's fall!"

"Should I tell you now? Why didn't you include the reason?" Xia Jiong didn't quite understand Yang Sen's intention.

"You may not understand now, but after the past, you will understand. We have to give the chairman some leeway. If we report all the reasons from the beginning, no matter what, the chairman will slap us a few times , but if we leave some steps for him to go down, then it’s not necessarily the case. Xu Yuanquan’s retreat has become an established fact, why not help us take some risks?” Yang Sen lowered his voice while talking.

After all, this matter is really not glamorous. He is the commander-in-chief of an imposing group army, and it will inevitably be bad for his reputation if it gets out.

So, soon, Xia Jiong sent a telegram to Generalissimo Jiang, and did as Yang Sen said.

Sure enough, after receiving the news of Anqing's fall, Chiang Kai-shek couldn't help being furious, and then replied: "Abandon the famous city lightly, and laugh at allies!"

After this telegram, Chiang Kai-shek sent another telegram, ordering Yang Sen to lead the Sichuan Army under his No.20 Seventh Army to counterattack Anqing!

After receiving the order, Xia Jiong immediately ran to Yang Sen to report, and asked by the way: "Boss, now Chairman Jiang wants us to launch a counterattack and take back Anqing. What do you think we should do now?"

Hearing the news, Yang Sen sighed and said: "Counterattack, counterattack! We want to counterattack! But do we have the strength? These little Japanese can drive us out of Anqing overnight. This Anqing, we must be I can't get it back. How about, Deputy Commander Xia, you lead the troops to charge?"

As he said that, Yang Sen looked at Xia Jiong, and there seemed to be infinite expectation in his eyes.

"No, no, boss, you're joking. Our Sichuan army has poor equipment and poor combat effectiveness. Many of our troops still hold swords and spears. How can we fight these little devils with our lives?" Xia Jiong also knew himself Without this ability, after all, the Sichuan army is notorious for its poor equipment and poor combat effectiveness.

When there is the support of the boss, it is still impossible to win the battle, not to mention that the boss does not support much this time?
This is a losing battle, and Xia Jiong doesn't want to ask for trouble.

"Then reply to Generalissimo Jiang and tell him that it was because Xu Yuanquan's No.20 Sixth Army could not withstand the attack of the Japanese Sixth Division, which exposed our flank and forced us to abandon Anqing." Yang Sen said in a deep voice, this reason is the best reason for him to lose the battle, not one of them.

……

"Snapped!!"

Another fine white porcelain teacup fell to the ground and was smashed to pieces.

The broken pieces of white porcelain teacups lay quietly on the tiled floor like this, somewhat out of place with the quiet and elegant surroundings.

Obviously, the owners of these houses are either rich or expensive!

"Mother Xipi! This man Yang Sen, if his troops are not good at fighting, then they are not good at fighting! It also depends on Xu Yuanquan! Xu Yuanquan led his troops to fight back and forth for three or four days! How shameless!" It's too shameless!" A bald man who looked about 50 years old was cursing, his figure was not tall, and he even looked a little thin.

Yes, he is the current supreme leader of China, Chiang Kai-shek who is leading the whole country in a great anti-aggression war.

I saw that Chiang Kai-shek did not wear a military uniform today, but instead wore a more serious Chinese tunic suit, and the walking stick in his hand was still leaning on the ground.

"Sit down and calm down. Now both Hefei and Anqing have fallen into the hands of the enemy. I am afraid that the next attack target of these Japanese troops will still be Wuhan..." Qian Dajun said, as Chiang Kai-shek's confidant, at this time he Nature is on the side.

"Don't think about it. The next attack direction of these little Japan must be my big Wuhan! The Japanese invaders will never die, and Wuhan is already our last line of defense. If even Wuhan falls, then the future situation of the war of resistance will be very difficult." It will become even more difficult." Chiang Kai-shek took a deep breath, forcing down the unhappiness in his heart.

"Commissioner, please rest assured. According to the military deployment you have made before, whether it is the Fifth Theater or the newly established Ninth Theater, these two theaters revolve around the defense of Greater Wuhan. These two theaters The total strength of the Japanese army has exceeded one million soldiers, while the total Japanese army is only 40 to [-], so as long as it operates well and wins a battle, it should not be a problem." Qian Dajun said.

"That's the only way to go. Order all the troops in the Fifth Theater and the Ninth Theater to make active preparations to defend the Great Wuhan! I, Jiang, will inspect the troops soon!" Chiang Kai-shek gave an order.

Let’s not talk about other things, just say that Wuhan is located at the junction of the north and the south, and it is also the main artery of Central China. As long as this place is captured, it will be very beneficial to the Japanese army in terms of strategic situation.

The loss of Wuhan would be harmful to the national army, so Chiang Kai-shek must organize the greatest force in his hands to defend the great Wuhan.

At the same time, he will also relocate some factory equipment in Wuhan to the rear of the Southwest to prepare for a protracted war of resistance.

Wuhan must be protected, but it must not be a one-way bet, otherwise it will lose miserably...

……

News of the fall of Hefei and Anqing soon spread to the headquarters of the First Guard Regiment of the Ninth War Zone. At the same time, Chiang Kai-shek's order to inspect the anti-Japanese troops came down at the same time.

As for the one about defending Wuhan to the death, Zhang Tianhai just ignored him subconsciously: After all, Wuhan must be defended to the end!
