At this time, in Nanjing.
Central China Front Army Headquarters.
Shunroku Hata stood in the yard with his hands behind his back, looking up at the eastern sky.
In the eastern sky, a red sun is breaking through the thin clouds, and the sky is already bright.
Deep footsteps came from behind. Without turning around, Shunroku Hata knew that it was the Commander of the Eleventh Army, Okamura Neiji, and the Chief of Staff of the Front Army, Kawabe Shozo, walking over.
¡°Your Excellency, General!¡± The two of them walked up to Shunroku Hata and nodded in greeting at the same time.
Hata Shunroku neither looked back nor paid attention to the two of them, but said quietly: "It's the fourth day!"
"Hai!" Masaru Tanabe said, "Today is the fourth day of the Second Army's general attack on Hankou and Hanyang!"
"However, both Hankou and Hanyang are still under the control of the Chinese Army!" Shunroku Hata suddenly turned back, his sharp eyes passing over the faces of Shozo Hebian and Neji Okamura.
"Hai!" Hebian Zhengsandu said, "Moreover, the Second Army lost twelve elite infantry regiments and a large amount of technical equipment for this!"
Okamura Neiji continued: "Now, the strength of the Second Army has been weakened to a very dangerous situation!"
"Yes." Kawabe Shozo continued, "In these three days of general attack, all eight infantry regiments of the 10th and 13th Divisions of the Second Army were disabled, and the 16th and 116th Divisions were crippled. There are only three complete infantry regiments left, and it is foreseeable that after today¡¯s attack is over, these three remaining infantry regiments will all be disabled!¡±
Okamura Neiji added: "By that time, the four main divisions of the Second Army will only have a large number of wounded, as well as engineers, artillery, heavy equipment and other technical units! Just wait for the fifth and ninth theaters of China If the main force rushes to the Wuhan battlefield, the Second Army will fall into an irreversible situation!"
After a pause, Okamura Neiji continued: "The Second Army will be completely wiped out, which will become a high probability event!"
Shunroku Hata was awe-inspiring when he heard this. From the full-scale war between Japan and China until today, the Japanese army has not been defeated, and there has even been a tragedy in which an entire division was wiped out. However, the annihilation of an entire army is still an unprecedented major event. , once the Second Army is really wiped out by the Chinese army, it is likely to affect the direction of the entire Japan-China War!
Zhengsan by the river said urgently: "Your Excellency, General, quickly order the Second Army to stop the attack and withdraw to Xiaogan!"
However, Okamura Neiji waved his hand and said: "It is too late to order the Second Army to stop the attack at this time, and it is absolutely impossible for His Highness to listen. Now we must prepare for the fate of the Second Army and make preparations in advance!"
"Be prepared for a rainy day and prepare early?" Shunroku Hata said solemnly, "Okamura-kun, what do you mean by this?"
Okamura Neiji said: "Your Excellency, General, please forgive me for speaking frankly. The Battle of Wuhan has progressed so far. The defeat of the Second Army is inevitable. But fortunately, the Second Army still has tens of thousands of troops. After retreating to Xiaogan, At least it can persist for a while, so as long as the reinforcements can arrive at Xiaogan in time, the second army can still avoid the collective ending!"
Shunroku Hata said: "You mean, let the 15th Division go south along the Ping-Han Line to help Xiaogan?"
"No, the 15th Division alone can't save the Second Army at all!" Okamura Neiji shook his head and said, "Even if our 11th Army comes out in full force, we can't save His Highness Nikihiko's Second Army. Army, the only thing that can save them now is to urgently mobilize and send reinforcements from the mainland!"
After a pause, Okamura Neiji continued: "Moreover, the mobilization force must not be less than ten divisions!"
"Nani, ten divisions?!" Shunroku Hata said, "Okamura-kun, you don't know the current financial situation of the empire. Do you think it is possible for the base camp to agree to this request?"
Okamura Neji said: "General, if the base camp does not agree, then wait for His Highness Nakihiko's Second Army to be wiped out, then wait for the situation of the Japan-China War to reverse, and wait for the counterattack of the China Army!"
"Counterattack?" Hebian Masanori asked, "Okamura-kun, do you think the Chinese Army is capable of launching a counterattack?"
"This is by no means an alarmist statement from me!" Neiji Okamura said, "Kawabe-kun, you might as well imagine how much their morale will be boosted after the Chinese army wins the Wuhan defense battle? What's more? The Soviet government will definitely continue to increase its assistance to the Chinese government!"
After a pause, he added: "By then, weapons and equipment aided by the Soviet Union will continue to enter China, and even the air force may continue to enter China. After receiving these weapons and equipment, the combat effectiveness of the China Army will be greatly increased. Together with their taxiWith the morale and fighting spirit being encouraged again, it is not impossible for the situation of the Japan-China War to be completely reversed! "
After another pause, Okamura Neiji continued: "In order to avoid such an unfavorable situation, the empire must make up its mind and mobilize a heavy force group of at least ten divisions to rush to the Wuhan battlefield to rescue the Second Army and eliminate it at the same time. Get rid of the unrealistic ideas of the China Army! Tell them with facts that fighting against the Empire and the Imperial Army is a dead end!"
Hebeian Shozo shook his head and said: "Okamura-kun, I still feel that you are a little scary."
Shunroku Hata also said: "The Second Army may not be able to take Wuhan, but there should be no worries about self-protection!"
After a slight pause, Shunroku Hata continued: "However, for the sake of safety, we ordered the 15th Division stationed in Zhengzhou to gather immediately and prepare to go south to Xiaogan along the Ping-Han Railway. At the same time, we ordered the 17th Division stationed in Xuzhou to move along the Longhai Line. March west, take over the 15th Division's garrison in Zhengzhou, and temporarily hand over the defense of Xuzhou to the First Army!"
"Hai!" Hebian Zhengsan nodded suddenly, turned around and walked away.
Okamura Neji sighed softly and said no more.
¡¡
Almost at the same time, at the Chongqing headquarters.
Due to regional differences, the sky in Nanjing is already bright, but the sky in Chongqing has just brightened.
Looking at the morning light emerging from the clouds in the east, Principal Chang said quietly to the senior generals around him: "It's dawn, and the Japanese army's general attack on Wuhan has entered the fourth day!"
"Yes!" Liu Sheng nodded and said solemnly, "It's the fourth day!"
He Yingpei said in a deep voice: "I really didn't expect that the troops in the Wuhan Garrison District could persist until today!"
"Yes!" Chen Shi said with deep understanding, "I originally thought that under the fierce day and night attacks by the Japanese army, Hankou and Hanyang would be lost in at most two days, but I never thought that until today, Hankou and Hanyang would still be lost. Hanyang is still firmly in the hands of my troops from the Wuhan Garrison!"
Although Chen Shi and He Yingpei dislike Zhong Yi, at this moment, they must admit that this kid is really capable of fighting! (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
