Invincible from the sword

Chapter 356

When Zhang Lei got out of the car, Chen Cixiu welcomed him into the Ninth War Zone Chief's Department.

The enthusiasm made Zhang Lei a little uncomfortable.

Chen Cixiu: "Commander Zhang, you have won a big victory in the Taihu and Wangjiang areas.

This time, I am more confident in defending Wuhan.

What are your thoughts on the next battle? "

Chen Cixiu's turn of the subject made Tiger Cub laugh at it.

This Chen Cixiu.

At least let Zhang Lei drink his saliva, right?

In the chief's department of the Ninth War Zone, everyone looked at Zhang Lei eagerly.

Excited.

no way.

Zhang Lei is amazing.

You can't accept it.

In the war room of the ninth war zone, there is a huge map.

There, Zhang Lei put forward his own suggestions for the next battle.

Zhang Lei pointed to the map and said: "On the way here, I sorted out the entire battlefield situation.

In my opinion, the Japanese army's next offensive focus should be the front line of Gushi and Shangcheng in the fifth theater.

The No.11 Japanese Army was wiped out by [-] troops in the Wangjiang area.

Okamura Ningji suffered a big loss.

But at the same time, our troop configuration has also been exposed.

When the No.11 Japanese army started, the reason why they dared to go deep alone was because they thought we didn't have enough troops to defend.

But in Taihu Lake and Wangjiang, we directly annihilated the two and a half divisions of Neiji Okamura.

Our planes, tanks, and artillery, Neiji Okamura must already know by now.

It can be said that our firepower is superior to the Japanese army.

I know Okamura Ningji better.

Although the brain is not flexible, it is not stupid.

Since he can't win here, he won't fight us head-on here.

Moreover, Commander Hata Shunroku of the Central China Expeditionary Force of the Japanese Army would not allow Neiji Okamura to do this.

I estimate that the next step of the Japanese army's plan is to adjust the combat objectives.

Put the direction of attack on the fifth theater. "

Put it in the fifth war zone?

Zhang Lei's words stunned everyone present.

Will the adjustment of the Japanese army be so big?

This is unlikely, right?

Not to mention others, even Tiger Cub, who was most familiar with Zhang Lei, felt a little unlikely.

As a general in the national army who fought against the Japanese army many times, Tiger Boy also has his own views on how the Japanese army will act next.

He thinks that the biggest possibility is that Hata Junliu will add two to three divisions to Okamura Ningji's No.11 Army.

Continue to extend Taihu Lake to Jiujiang to fight with their national army.

After all, this is the most suitable route to enter.

It is more difficult to advance from the fifth theater.

It's all across the Dabie Mountains.

Advancing from the fifth war zone, we must occupy the two places of Shangcheng and Xinyang.

Otherwise, there is no way at all.

Li Delin deployed heavy troops in these two places.

In the mall, there is Sun Lianzhong's Third Corps.

At Gushi, the gate of the mall, Li Delin released six armies.

It was very difficult for the Japanese army to occupy the mall.

Although the Second Japanese Army has now occupied Lu'an and Huoshan, in Tiger Boy's view, there shouldn't be a big problem with Li Delin.

After all, Shangcheng and Gushi are easy to defend but difficult to attack.

And there are quite a few elite troops there.

Is it possible for the Japanese army to put the main attack direction there?
Chen Cixiu frowned.

There was no direct rebuttal.

He asked, "Teacher Zhang, what basis do you have for saying that?"

in accordance with……

Zhang Lei really didn't.

Zhang Lei shook his head: "There is no basis yet.

However, based on my understanding of the Japanese army, there is a high possibility that Hata Shunroku will do this.

The Central China Dispatch Army of the Japanese Army has two armies, the Second Japanese Army and the No.11 Japanese Army.

The commander of the Second Japanese Army is King Nianhiko.

This person is the dry uncle of the island dog Tianlocust.

The shelves are very large.

Neiji Okamura and Shunliu Hata were not taken seriously at all.

Now his second army has occupied Lu'an and Huoshan.

And it is advancing rapidly to Gushi.

Through this, we can see that the second army of King Yanyan is not conducting a diversionary attack at all.

I guess, King Yan Yan wants to open a gap from the fifth theater.

Then directly advance the Second Army to Wuhan.

Now for the Japanese army, fighting on two fronts is no longer a good choice.

This would cause the Japanese troops to disperse.

We can see it, and of course Hata Shun-roku can also see it.

Therefore, the next Japanese attack should be based on the Japanese Second Army.

Neiji Okamura's No.11 Army will provide support.

There is still a lot of pressure in the fifth theater.

The Japanese Second Army has four divisions, all of which are Class A divisions.

Moreover, King Nian Yan still has two hundred planes in his hands.

Whether it is air firepower or ground firepower, the fifth theater has no advantage. "

Just as Zhang Lei finished speaking, a lieutenant colonel walked over in a hurry.

He held a telegram in his hand.

"Report, the latest battle report.

Gu Shi fell. "

What the hell? ? ?

Everyone in the war room was stunned.

Even Zhang Lei was surprised.

Gushi fell?
Is this too fast?

Li Delin sent six armies there!
It's just that they can't beat the three divisions of the Japanese army, so it's still possible to defend for a few days, right?
How could it fall so quickly?

Chen Cixiu was also in a daze.

Quickly took the telegram over.

The telegram was sent from the mountain city.

It is said that Gushi in the fifth theater has been occupied by the Japanese Second Army.

The troops defending Gushi have now retreated to the mall for defense.

The meaning of the old man Shancheng is very clear, let Chen Cixiu deploy troops to reinforce the fifth theater.

The telegram specifically mentioned that Zhang Lei's temporary group must be transferred to the mall.

The Second Japanese Army has occupied Gushi.

Then the next goal is the mall.

When Gushi fell, the mall was completely exposed to the Japanese army.

The old man in Shancheng is very nervous.

He hadn't had time to be happy about Wangjiang's victory when he received a telegram from Li Delin in the Fifth War Zone.

The old man in Shancheng almost fell to the ground.

Gushi fell, he did not expect.

The most depressing thing for the old man in Shancheng was that the biggest reason for the fall of Gushi was his student Lao Tang!

Lao Tang was the commander of the First Army of the National Army.

He is the emperor's disciple of the old man in Shancheng.

As a result, in Gushi, Lao Tang didn't even say hello, and directly led the first army to retreat!
As a result, the entire flank of Gushi was exposed under the eyes of the Japanese Second Army.

It directly led to the collapse of the Gushi line of defense.

Li Delin had no choice but to issue an order to let Gushi's defensive troops retreat from Gushi.

Go to the mall to re-arm.

The old man in Shancheng was dumbfounded.

This old soup.

Play tricks on me at the critical moment!

Doesn't he know the importance of Gushi?

Just because of his unauthorized retreat, the entire Gushi defense line was defeated.

Niang Xipi!
The face of my old man in Shancheng has been completely lost by him.

The old man Shancheng was furious.

I can't wait to slap Laotang twice.

Unbelievable stuff!

Lao Gu who was next to him hurriedly persuaded him: "Principal, is Lao Tang doing this to preserve his strength?

After all, the First Army is your painstaking effort, principal.

It would be a pity to suffer huge losses in Gushi.

And I think that Lao Tang's consideration is not unreasonable.

Li Delin arranged so many troops in Gushi.

A lot of Laotang's first army.

This time Gushi fell, the biggest responsibility lies with him, Li Delin!
He, Li Delin, knew that the First Army was the direct line army that the principal valued the most.

He also placed the First Army on the Gushi flank.

Doesn't this obviously make you feel uncomfortable, principal?

We have fought so many battles with the Japanese army, and Li Delin is very clear about the Japanese army's offensive routes.

The Japanese attack has always been a frontal attack with outflanking.

He put the First Army on the Gushi flank, obviously he had no good intentions.

It was also a helpless move for Lao Tang to take the initiative to withdraw the troops. "

Lao Gu is one of the most trusted subordinates of the old man in Shancheng.

The reason why he was able to gain the trust of the old man in Shancheng was that Gu Gu was unique in trying to figure out what the old man in Shancheng was thinking.

Now that Lao Gu said this, the old man in Shancheng felt a lot more at ease.

In the eyes of the old man in Shancheng, no matter how Lao Tang retreated, he was his most loyal student.

If you really want to punish him, he really can't do it.

Moreover, the old man Shancheng was also afraid of chilling the hearts of his students.

After all, his Whampoa students are his greatest reliance.

Everything else is not of the same mind as the old man in Shancheng.

If he punished Lao Tang, what would the other students think?
So even though he was angry, the old man in Shancheng had no intention of punishing Lao Tang.

But he can't say this, otherwise, others will say that he is unfair.

Old Gu's words made the old man in Shancheng find the stairs.

He nodded slowly.

"Old Gu, your words still make sense.

However, my student is too outrageous.

The war is imminent.

His first army should serve as an example for the whole army.

Although it was said that Gushi fell, he was not responsible, but he retreated without authorization, which is impossible.

You send him a telegram immediately and deduct his one-month military pay.

To serve as a warning to others. "

In the chief's department of the fifth war zone, Li Delin's face was pulled.

It's all dark.

The whole popularity trembled.

Horse's.

The originally good situation was messed up by the bastard Lao Tang.

Six armies, because of the bastard Lao Tang.

Engage in a full retreat.

Now the mall portal is gone.

The mall was already within the attacking range of the Japanese army.

Let Li Delin worried.

His original idea was that Gushi could defend for at least half a month.

In this way, his Fifth Theater can effectively slow down the Japanese attack speed.

But when Lao Tang's first army retreated, Li Delin's entire plan was disrupted.

Li Delin really had the urge to shoot Lao Tang.

It's really a pig teammate.

In the Ninth War Zone, Tiger Boy's First Corps wiped out [-] Japanese troops in the Wangjiang area.

As a result, Li Delin's Fifth War Zone lost Gushi.

In contrast, Li Delin lost all face.

The commanders of several other armies all made trouble with him.

Let him punish Lao Tang severely.
