War of Resistance

Chapter 894 The Decisive Battle on Nanxun Road

Time: The morning of August 27st, [-]th year of the Republic of China.

Location: Wuhan, Commander-in-Chief of the Ninth Theater.

At this time, it was the moment when the sun was scorching, but the meeting room was completely cool and chilled.

The sound of cars passing by outside the building did not seem to be heard by the people in the venue, because they knew that the alert level outside had reached the highest alert.

Chen Cheng, the commander of the war zone, was dressed in military uniform and stood at the top of the podium with a serious face, holding a folder with a blue sky and white sun badge in his hand.

All the officers in the audience stood neatly behind the table, and they were all officers above the major general level.

I saw Chen Cheng glanced around the crowd, and then read aloud with great enthusiasm: "Colleagues! The Nanxun Road fighter plane has appeared. Entrusted by Chairman Jiang, the commander-in-chief of our theater plans to make the following decision: The decisive battle on Nanxun Road will be fought by General Xue Yue." As the general commander, command the No.70 Army, No.60 Fourth Army, Eighth Army, and Fourth Army under the command of the First Corps to conduct decisive battles with the enemy. As for the No.70 Fourth Army, it is directly under the theater and supports Nanxun Road at any time Combat. Commander-in-Chief of the Ninth Theater, August [-]."

I saw these officers, oh no, the generals to be precise, all listened to Chen Cheng's words very seriously, until Chen Cheng's voice had fallen, and they still had that serious face.

"Colleagues, this decisive battle on Nanxun Road will be related to the safety of Wuhan. If there is a problem in any link, the Military Control Bureau will directly intervene in the investigation and assign the responsibility to the individual. If anyone finds a problem, they will be executed directly! "When he said this, Chen Cheng did not forget to make a gesture of "decapitation", with a murderous look.

The generals naturally knew Chief Chen's determination - this is definitely not just talk, it will be real. If the gang of birds from the military command intervene, then there is still a chance of survival?
Thinking about it, everyone was silent for a while, their backs straightened even more, and then they responded: "Yes! Sir! Be loyal to the party and country!!"

The conference room, which is not too small, has a very loud voice, which always surrounds this room, overflowing with murderous aura.

……

Once the meeting was decided, a telegram was sent from Wuhan to the Jiangxi front.

Nanchang, Headquarters of the First Corps.

At this time, the Headquarters of the First Corps was located in a large compound. The walls of the compound had been torn apart, and the surrounding area was heavily guarded, and the guards with live ammunition were constantly patrolling.

Commander-in-chief Xue, the commander of the First Corps, has already stationed here. It is impossible for the guards not to stand up for it. I am afraid that because of a mistake of their own, they let the spies of the Japanese army in, and then assassinated the commander-in-chief.

Don't forget, this is the moment when the nation is in peril.

At this time, Commander-in-Chief Xue was studying the trend of the war on the front line, but after studying for a long time, he still couldn't figure out why - the initiative of the war was in the hands of the Japanese army. Before the Japanese army swung their swords, they had no way to take over trick!

In other words, it can only be seen as tricks!

At this moment, an adjutant from the adjutant's office ran up to Xue Yue and reported, "Report to the commander-in-chief, the commander-in-chief of the war zone has an urgent telegram, which is a telegram to appoint you as the commander-in-chief of the decisive battle on Nanxun Road!"

"Quick, take it over here and take a look." Xue Yue didn't hold back after all, after all, this was an order related to the safety of the frontline situation - if he didn't expect, the fate of the First Corps would depend on this message.

"Yes! Sir!" The adjutant responded, and then handed over the translated message in his hand to Xue Yue.

Xue Yue finally translated the telegram, and then read it carefully.

After a long time, Xue Yue raised his head and asked, "Call the Commander's Department immediately and ask Mr. Chen, can you transfer the No.70 Fourth Army and the First Regiment of the Theater Guard to our corps?"

"Yes! Sir!" The adjutant responded.

Then, a general with the rank of lieutenant general came over and said, "Commander-in-Chief, it seems that you still miss Zhang Yulin..."

"Indeed, I admire him very much. If he could command a division during the Battle of Lanfeng, then the Yellow River would not have burst its embankment, nor would the hundreds of thousands of people in Kaifeng I will be buried here." Xue Yue let out a long sigh, Lan Feng will fight, this will be his life's regret.

"On this point, I can understand your feelings. Indeed, our First Corps does need some generals, but it seems that we haven't reached that point yet, right?" the lieutenant general said.

"This piece of Yulin is a sharp knife. If it is used well, it can cut off a piece of Japanese army. We have a blunt knife in our hands, and we only need a sharp knife." Xue Yue said.

"Then I'm afraid we'll have to follow the path of your old comrade-in-arms Wu Yizhi. If he can make it through, everything will be easy." The lieutenant general said.

"Okay, let's do it that way!" Xue Yue nodded and accepted the lieutenant general's opinion, "We'll see the situation after Chief Chen calls back!"

It didn't take long for the reply call from the Commander's Department of the Ninth War Zone to come back.

The general content is as follows, that is to say, it is enough for your corps to have four armies, and there is no need for so many troops. For example, the No.70 Fourth Army is under the unified command of the theater and can reinforce you at any time, as does the First Police Regiment.

After seeing this telegram, Xue Yue remembered what the lieutenant general said, so he said, "Immediately send a telegram in my own name to Chief of Staff Wu in the theater to inquire about the situation!"

"Yes! Sir!" The adjutant replied again.

……

The camera turned and returned to Wuhan.

It was still the heavily guarded Ninth War Zone Commander's Department.

At this time, Wu Yizhi had already returned to the office to handle official documents. After he processed an urgent official document, an adjutant walked up to him and said, "Report to attend, Commander-in-Chief Xue of the First Corps is calling."

"Xue Yue? Didn't Chief Chen call back just now? Why did you call again?" Wu Yizhi frowned slightly. From a personal point of view, they both graduated from Baoding Military Academy and were from Guangdong, so he didn't reject Xue Yue. Just feel a little strange.

"This telegram is a telegram sent by Commander-in-Chief Xue in his personal name. You will know the specific content after reading it." The adjutant said with a military salute, and then handed over the translated telegram in his hand.

After Wu Yizhi received the telegram, he started to read it.

After a long time, Wu Yizhi said with a wry smile: "This police group... is too good, and it is dazzling everywhere... Not only Xue Boling wants it, but even Zhang Fakui doesn't want to let him go... "

Perhaps seeing the embarrassment of the chief, the adjutant asked: "Then, how should we call them back?"

Wu Yizhi smiled wryly and said: "Respond in my own name, greet Commander-in-Chief Xue first, and then tell him that we have transferred troops from three armies from the Second Corps to them. This side is definitely not happy. The first regiment of the theater guards is already under the direct control of the theater, just like the No.70 Fourth Army, but it is only under the command of the second army temporarily. If the situation is urgent, it can be assigned to your department for command.”

This was already Wu Yizhi's biggest concession, and it was beyond his control to go on.
