A heavy rain brings vitality to all things, but it also creates opportunities for some people with ulterior motives.
For example, during the heavy rain, Namada Juichi commanded his troops to launch a surprise attack on Anqing.
In the pouring rain, gunshots rang out all night long.
The Sichuan Army, which was caught off guard and was very poorly equipped, was driven out of Anqing overnight under heavy siege by elite Japanese troops.
In this regard, Yang Sen, commander-in-chief of the 27th Group Army, seemed to have no other choice besides expressing his helplessness.
"Damn it, how come these little Japanese are so powerful?" Yang Sen was walking back and forth in the headquarters, scolding him because he was angry at his troops for not being able to make steel.
"Boss, what should we do now?" Xia Jiong asked Yang Sen. After all, the latter is the backbone of this army. Without him, the 27th Sichuan Army may no longer exist.
"What else can be done? What else can be done? Apart from finding some other reasons, what else can be done? Otherwise, we will all be shot!" Yang Sen was obviously in a bad mood. After all, Anqing overnight It was lost. For him, it was very likely that he would be shot. If you don't believe it, look at Han Fuqu. This is the best example.
"Boss, I heard about my humble position. 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, "Inform Chairman Chiang of the news of the fall of Anqing!"
"Are you telling me now? Why don't you include a reason?" Xia Jiong didn't quite understand Yang Sen's intention.
"You may not understand it now, but you will understand it later. We have to give the Chairman some room for maneuver. If we report all the reasons from the beginning, no matter what, the Chairman will give us a few slaps. , but if we leave some steps for him to climb, it won't necessarily be the case. Xu Yuanquan's defeat has become a fait accompli, why not help us take some risks?" Yang Sen lowered his voice as he spoke.
After all, this matter is indeed not very honorable. He is the commander-in-chief of a majestic group army. If word spreads about it, it will inevitably bring bad reputation.
So, soon, Xia Jiong sent a telegram to Chairman Chiang and did as Yang Sen said.
Sure enough, after receiving the news of the fall of Anqing, Chiang Kai-shek couldn't help but became furious and responded with a telegram: "Abandoning a famous city, laughing at friends!"
After this telegram, Chiang Kai-shek also sent another telegram, ordering Yang Sen to lead the Sichuan Army of his 27th Group 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 Chiang wants us to launch a counterattack to retake Anqing. What do you think we should do now?"
After hearing the news, Yang Sen sighed and said: "Counterattack, counterattack! We also want to counterattack! But do we have the strength? These little Japanese can drive us out of Anqing overnight. In this Anqing, we must be You can't get it back. How about, Deputy Commander Xia, you lead the troops to charge?"
After saying that, Yang Sen looked at Xia Jiong, his eyes seemed to have infinite expectations.
"No, no, no, boss, you are kidding me. Our Sichuan army has poor equipment and poor combat effectiveness. Many of our troops still carry swords and spears. How can we risk our lives with these little devils?" Xia Jiong also knew that he Without this ability, after all, the Sichuan army is famous for its poor equipment and poor combat effectiveness.
It's hard to win a battle with the support of the boss, let alone this time, the boss doesn't support much either?
This is a losing battle, and Xia Jiong doesn't want to cause trouble.
"Then call Chairman Chiang back and tell him that it was because Xu Yuanquan's 26th Army could not withstand the attack of the Japanese Sixth Division that our flanks were exposed and we were forced to abandon Anqing." Yang Sen said in a deep voice that this reason was the best reason for him to lose the battle, bar none.
…
"Snapped!!"
Another fine white porcelain teacup fell to the ground and was smashed to pieces.
The fragments of the broken white porcelain teacup lay quietly on the tile floor, somewhat incompatible with the quiet and elegant surroundings.
Obviously, the owners of these houses are either rich or noble!
"Mother Xipi! Yang Sen is a common man. If his troops are not doing well in combat, that means they are not doing well in combat! It's all down to Xu Yuanquan! After all, Xu Yuanquan led his troops to fight back and forth for three or four days! It's so shameless. This is so shameless!" A bald man who looked to be in his fifties was scolding. He was not tall and even looked a little thin.
Yes, he is Chiang Kai-shek, currently the supreme leader of China and leading the entire country in a great anti-aggression war.
I saw that Chiang Kai-shek was not wearing a military uniform today. Instead, he was wearing a more serious Chinese tunic suit, and the walking stick in his hand was still leaning on the ground.
"Come to calm down your anger. Now both Hefei and Anqing have fallen into the hands of the enemy. I am afraid that the next target of these Japanese attacks will still be Wuhan..." Qian Dajun said, as a confidant of Chiang Kai-shek, at this time he Naturally, it's next to it.
"Don't think about it. The next direction of attack for these little Japanese will definitely be our great Wuhan! We are determined to destroy the Japanese invaders, and Wuhan is already our last line of defense. If even Wuhan falls, then the future situation of the Anti-Japanese War will be It will become even more difficult." Chiang Kai-shek took a deep breath and suppressed the discomfort in his heart.
"Commissioner, please rest assured. According to your previous military deployment, whether it is the fifth war zone or the newly established ninth war zone, these two war zones are centered around the defense of Wuhan. These two war zones The total strength of the Japanese army has exceeded one million soldiers, while the total number of Japanese troops is only three to four hundred thousand. As long as they operate well and win the battle, it shouldn't be a problem." Qian Dajun said.
"That's all we can do. I am ordering all the troops in the fifth and ninth theaters to make active preparations to defend Wuhan! I, Jiang, will be inspecting the troops soon!" Chiang Kai-shek issued an order.
Not to mention anything else, let’s just say that Wuhan is at the junction of the north and the south and is the main artery of central China. As long as it is captured here, the strategic situation will be very beneficial to the Japanese army.
The loss of Wuhan would be harmful to the national army, so Chiang Kai-shek must organize the greatest strength at his disposal to defend Wuhan.
At the same time, he also wants to relocate some factory equipment in Wuhan to the southwest rear area to prepare for a protracted war of resistance.
Wuhan must be protected, but it must not be a desperate move, otherwise it will be a disastrous loss...
…
News of the fall of Hefei and Anqing soon reached the headquarters of the 1st Guard Regiment of the Ninth War Zone, along with an order from Chiang Kai-shek to inspect the anti-Japanese troops.
As for the pledge to defend Wuhan to the death, Zhang Tianhai just subconsciously ignored him: after all, Wuhan must defend it to the end!
