Beacon starts from the departure of a strong man

Xue Yue looked at Sun Zhen and grinned: "If I don't get involved!"

"You Sichuan Army are never willing to share the results of battle!" Xue Yue said with an expression like "I've seen through you": "You know, whether it was the Battle of Anqing or the Battle of Taihu, your Sichuan Army could always defeat the Japanese army."

"I've always made a fortune in silence. Whatever you say this time, you must let my First Corps participate."

Sun Zhen patted Xue Yue on the shoulder: "Old Xue, if you want to come, I welcome you. I still trust you Xue."

Sun Zhen was very relieved about Xue Yue's temper. You must know that Xue Yue was famous for his bad temper in the army, and sometimes even Chang Kaishen's face would be thrown away.

Xue Yue laughed loudly, then looked at Yu Hua: "Yu boy, what are you going to do?"

"Let me see what your Sichuan Army has in mind. If it is feasible and there are no flaws, I will mobilize troops and implement it according to the Sichuan Army's combat plan."

"Brother Yu, tell me how we will fight this battle!" Sun Zhen came to Yu Hua's side.

Sun Zhen now firmly believes in Hua's combat deployment.

Immediately, Yu Hua came to the map: "Two commanders-in-chief, this is Mahuiling, here is Baiyun Mountain, Daijia Mountain, the western foothills of Lushan Mountain, and Wushimen. With the terrain in this area, we can adopt a plan to lure the enemy deeper. "

"Here, I plan to use the reverse eight-character formation and give some appetizers to Matsuura Junrokuro's 106th Division first."

After that, Yu Hua added some other battle plans and how to implement them.

After Xue Yue on the side listened to Yu Hua's battle plan, his eyes widened with a very shocked expression.

Yu Hua's battle plan was almost exactly the same as what he had in mind, and the similarity between the two was no less than 80%.

If he had never revealed this battle plan to anyone else, he would have suspected that there was a spy from the Sichuan Army around him and secretly gave his battle plan to the Sichuan Army.

Yu Hua saw Xue Yue's expression and said in his heart: General Xue, I'm sorry, I copied your battle deployment plan.

"Old Xue!" Sun Zhen called Xue Yue: "What do you think of this battle plan?"

Xue Yue clapped his hands and said: "I am very satisfied with this battle plan. I have nothing to add. Just follow your Sichuan Army's plan."

"In order to encircle and annihilate the Japanese 106th Division, I plan to mobilize Ou Zhen's Fourth Army. Now the 74th Army has already joined forces with the Japanese 30th Division. After Wang Lingji's th Army blocks the gap."

"I will also transfer the 74th Army. These two armies are currently my ace armies."

"If we can achieve great results in the Mahuiling area this time, it can greatly alleviate our fatigue on the battlefield in Wuhan."

Now, on the entire Wuhan battlefield, as the Japanese army continues to increase its troops, the entire battle has fallen into a stalemate.

The 22nd Group Army of the Sichuan Army has five divisions under its command, plus an independent brigade. It still has an advantage in terms of strength, not to mention the Sichuan Army's combat effectiveness is famously powerful.

Xue Yue believed that the 74th Army and Ou Zhen's Fourth Army, which he invested in, were fully capable of controlling the Japanese 106th Division.

Especially the Fourth Army in Ou Zhen's hands. This army is the trump card of the Guangdong Army, and its combat effectiveness is not bad at all!

In order to complete the plan to encircle and annihilate the 106th Division, Xue Yue also replenished the troops with a large number of weapons and ammunition, especially now that the Sichuan Army Arsenal can mass-produce many Japanese-style artillery.

Xue Yue assigned mountain artillery battalions to the three divisions under Ou Zhen's Fourth Army that arrived first. They were all Type 41 mountain artillery. Each brigade was assigned a Type 92 infantry artillery battalion.

Each regiment is equipped with 12 82mm mortars, and each battalion is equipped with six 60mm mortars!

Xue Yue prepared 300 million rounds of machine gun bullets, 50 rounds of various artillery shells, 1000 million rifle bullets, and 300 million hand grenades. Of course, for the Sichuan Army, Yu Hua had already prepared supplies for the 22nd Army, including light and heavy machine gun bullets and various artillery shells, which was enough for the entire army to fight a battle for a month.

Xue Yue mobilized so many supplies, weapons and ammunition, which naturally attracted Chen Cheng's attention, and Chen Cheng also called Xue Yue.

Xue Yue was afraid that the plan would be leaked and did not tell the truth to Chen Cheng.

Inside the headquarters of the Ninth War Zone, Chen Cheng frowned slightly: "Even I am on guard against this Xue Laohu!"

"Sigh... The situation of the war is unclear now. Xue Yue must have his reasons for doing this. Let me explain it to the principal and say it was my idea."

Chen Cheng and Chang Kaishen talked on the phone and said that the material mobilization of the First Corps was his own idea. Xue Yue's Corps was fighting hard against the Japanese army and had suffered heavy losses and was in urgent need of replenishment.

After Chang Kaishen said calmly, he asked Chen Cheng to save some ammunition. Now that the whole war situation in Wuhan was unclear and ammunition was tight, he had to make careful calculations, so he hung up the phone.

After calling Chang Kaishen, Chen Cheng called Xue Yue and said that he was going to Wanjialing in the near future.

Xue Yue had no choice but to agree, and Chen Cheng wanted to go to Wanjialing to have a look. Xue Yue and Sun Zhen of the Sichuan Army were mixed together, and there must be a major battle plan.

In this situation, Chen Cheng had already felt the Sichuan army's way of doing things during the Battle of Taihu Lake.

What's more, the last bet between Adjutant Yu and Xue Yue of the Sichuan Army has been circulating in the ears of several division commanders in the Ninth Theater for a long time.

Chen Cheng estimated that Sun Zhen and Xue Yue must be hiding something from him, and he had to go and see for himself.

After Xue Yue hung up the phone, he glanced at Sun Zhen beside him: "Old Sun, Chen Cixiu is coming."

"Come on, come on!" Sun Zhen said: "He is the commander of the ninth theater. We have no power to stop him."

Yu Hua also said that it would not be in the way. Even if Chen Cixiu came, he would not be like Chang Kaishen, who likes to mobilize troops beyond his authority.

Immediately, the three people began to discuss the battle plan again.

The Sichuan Army was working on a battle plan, but on the 106th Division's side, Matsuura Junrokuro became troubled.

Because the intelligence staff officer of his division fell ill after entering the mountainous area. Now the military doctor in the division told him that the intelligence staff officer's condition was very serious.

The intelligence staff must be sent back to the hospital in Jiujiang for treatment, otherwise if it is delayed for a few more days, the intelligence staff will be broken into pieces for the empire's holy war.

Matsuura Junrokuro had no choice but to send a message to his superior, Commander Neiji Okamura, stating that the intelligence staff had resigned and that the 106th Division was in urgent need of a staff officer who was familiar with intelligence work.

After Okamura Neji received the message from Junroku Matsuura, he had no choice but to start his job as a nanny again.

He had no choice but to select smart intelligence personnel from the entire army. As for the 106th Division's passiveness in several battles, Okamura Neiji believed that except for the fact that the soldiers of the 106th Division did not conduct restorative training before going into battle.

There is another important reason, that is, Matsuura Junrokuro did not do the intelligence work carefully.

Originally, on the Eastern battlefield, the Japanese army's specialty was intelligence work, so Okamura Neiji had to send his capable general, the 11th Army's staff officer Sakurai Ratsuzo, to the 106th Division.

In Mahuiling!

The Japanese army suddenly stopped advancing and turned to rest. This phenomenon was quickly reported to the headquarters of the 22nd Army of the Sichuan Army.

When Xue Yue, Sun Zhen, and Yu Hua received this information, they also gathered together to discuss what the situation was. (End of chapter)
