"Yes, Mom." Zheng Man nodded, "Aren't you afraid that you would worry about him? That's why I didn't tell you, but don't worry, Yulin is now a strong man on the front line, and with his People are evil, and if the little devil wants to take advantage of him, it will not be easy."
"Hey, that's what I said, but as a mother, how can we be so relieved? We just hope that this family can live in peace until the end of the war." Yu Zhiyun's face was full of kindness. The smile, obviously, and the news that the eldest son was safe and sound played a huge role.
"Don't worry, our family can do it." Zheng Man also had a slight smile on his face.
"I don't know if I can get used to this Xilou after joining the army..." Yu Zhiyun is a loving mother after all, and she can't let go of the wanderer's clothes.
"I heard that Xilou has been admitted to the Central Military Academy. I think it won't be long before he becomes a talented person. You don't need to worry too much." Unknowingly, Zheng Man's status in this family has become higher and higher. .
Maybe it has something to do with her education and knowledge, or maybe it has something to do with her rich experience and cultivation.
Putting aside the fact that he comes from a wealthy family, just saying that he was once a reporter for the Central News Agency and served in the Communications Department of the Nanjing Garrison Headquarters will make many people look away from him.
"My Yulin family is really lucky to be able to marry you... My old Zhang family is like smoke rising from their ancestral graves." Yu Zhiyun sighed longly.
When she talked about this, Zheng Man thought of the handsome face full of gunpowder smoke on the battlefield in Shanghai, and the calmness on his face - her man was a fighting hero!
Thinking of this, a warm smile appeared on Zheng Man's face unconsciously: "Mom, our family doesn't talk about this. Yulin can marry me, which is naturally my blessing. The man I married, But he is a man who stands upright!"
"Well..." The smile on Yu Zhiyun's face grew stronger.
…
The old Zhang family is quite happy in Wuhan now, but the shadow of the war on the Jiangxi front line has not yet dissipated.
Instead, it became thicker.
The 106th Division of the Japanese Army Junroku Matsuura suffered a huge defeat on the front line. He obviously would not give up the idea of making a comeback so easily.
…
Headquarters of the Eleventh Army of the Japanese Central China Expeditionary Force.
Perhaps for security reasons, the headquarters of the Eleventh Army did not continue to move forward, but continued to be stationed in Pengze Town.
Lieutenant General Okamura Neiji, commander of the Eleventh Army, stood on a hillside and stared into the distance, as if only at this moment he could relax the depressed mood in his heart.
Yes, the fact that the Matsuura Division suffered a big loss on the front line put a lot of pressure on him.
As the main force of the Central China Expeditionary Force, the Eleventh Army is very important when the Japanese base camp wants to realize the established strategy of capturing the three towns of Wuhan.
In June, at the emperor's imperial meeting, the emperor had already given instructions to capture Wuhan within three months!
Now, it is not just as simple as the entire top brass of the Japanese invaders placing their hopes on him, but the eyes of the entire country of Japan are focused on him!
He can only win this battle, not lose!
As far as the Chinese army is concerned, the Japanese army is indeed well-equipped with weapons and weapons. In the eyes of many people, it does have a great advantage.
But only Okamura Neji, the commander, knew that although the Japanese army was well-equipped with weapons and equipment, it also had a fatal flaw - that was, it had few soldiers!
On the surface, hundreds of thousands of troops are indeed a lot, but in the huge land of China, they still appear to be quite few.
There is no other reason, but because China is too big. Putting hundreds of thousands of troops in it is like a huge stone thrust into the lake.
If you don't have enough strength, you won't be able to make much of a splash.
If one had to use one word to describe Okamura Neji's state, then "step by step" would be the most appropriate.
As long as one wrong move is made, facing the Japanese army, it may be a disaster.
As the top commander of the Japanese army, Okamura Neiji is not as blindly optimistic as these imperial officers below him - in fact, the Chinese army is still resisting. As long as the Chinese government does not surrender for a day, they will not win for a day!
Looking into the distance, Okamura Neiji let out a long sigh: "I just hope that Mr. Matsuura can be more confident and lead our troops to continue sprinting forward, so that we can stabilize Nanchang and cover the main force of our army. Insert Wuhan..."
Yes, in Okamura Neiji's strategic vision, he sent the 106th Division to fight the Nanxun Road. On the one hand, he did want to expand his own advantages and undermine the strategic deployment of the Chinese army; on the other hand, he also wanted to divert part of the Chinese army. The troops were attracted to Nanxun Road so that his army would have less barriers when attacking Wuhan.
Of course, the latter aspect is Okamura Neji's real goal.
"Your Excellency, Commander, you don't seem to be in a good mood. Is it because the 106th Division suffered a major setback on the front line?" the deputy chief of staff asked.
"Yamamoto-kun, you underestimate me, Neji Okamura. How could a mere setback of the 106th Division make me so depressed?" Neji Okamura shook his head and said.
"Then why does Commander-in-Chief look so depressed?" Deputy Chief of Staff Yamamoto asked again.
"What really makes me feel bad is that our 106th Division, with the entire division as the main force, has not achieved the intended results. Our 'blocking tiger', the China Army, the Second Corps under Zhang Fakui is still in Jiujiang The entire area is standing still. It may not be that easy to really break through their obstruction." Faced with the man in front of him, Okamura Neiji still revealed his true feelings.
"It seems that you are not optimistic about the prospects of this battle..." Yamamoto said with a wry smile.
"The prospect of war? The prospect of war is indeed not good. We have invested too much manpower and material resources in this war. If we cannot force the Chinese government to surrender, we will fall into the quagmire of this war. I am afraid it will never be possible again. Get away." Okamura Neiji revealed his thoughts, after all, this is something everyone knows.
"However, Your Excellency, Commander, whether we can force the Chinese government to surrender, I'm afraid we have to work hard to achieve it." Yamamoto tried to persuade the commander to regain his confidence.
Of course Okamura Neiji knew what Yamamoto wanted to express. He shook his head and said: "Yamamoto-kun, now it is not a question of whether we work hard or not, but that we must work hard... Our country's war potential is not as good as that of China. If we cannot destroy China in the shortest possible time, sooner or later we will be defeated due to depletion of our military resources. Therefore, what we have to do is not to work hard, but to fight tooth and nail!"
At the end of the sentence, Okamura Neji's voice already revealed a serious tone, and his composure had long since disappeared.
Like a one-eyed fierce tiger about to go down the mountain!
