    The sound of gunfire in northern Hunan alarmed Chongqing. Chairman Chiang Kai-shek could no longer sit still and prepared to personally go to Enshi, the headquarters of the Sixth War Zone, to take charge.  At the same time, Chen Cheng, who was preparing for the expedition in Kunming, was also alarmed. At this moment, he was still the nominal commander-in-chief of the Sixth War Zone.  Chief Chen immediately communicated with the committee members. When he heard that Chairman Chiang was planning to take action personally, he tried his best to dissuade him.  In Chen Cheng's opinion, it would be easy for the Chairman to win this battle, but the battlefield is not an officialdom. If something unexpected happens and the national army fails in this battle, then the Chairman will be criticized at home and abroad.  After weighing the pros and cons, the Chairman also believed that Chen Cheng was right, so he sent an urgent telegram and transferred Chen Cheng back to the Sixth War Zone to supervise the battle.

    At this time, after capturing Anxiang and Nanxian, the Japanese successfully completed the first phase of their combat plan and were implementing the second phase of the offensive plan.

    On May 10, the Chief's Department received a report from the 44th Army stationed in Jin City and Li County that two Japanese troops were attacking in this direction.  As soon as they got this telegram, Sun Zhong, Guo Wan, Zhang Zhi and Zhang Xian all set their sights on Changde. Could it be that this time, the real target of the Japanese attack is Changde?

    Almost at the same time, the national army's reconnaissance plane discovered that heavy enemy troops were gathering in the Donggang area near the Public Security Bureau. At the same time, the enemy's 13th Division stationed near Jingmen was also rapidly moving south and had reached Yidu.  Near the Gijiang River on the other side.

    After receiving the news of the reconnaissance plane, everyone came to the battle map again. Sun Zhong, Guo Wan and Zhang Zhi all looked at Zhang Xian with admiration.  Sure enough, Zhang Xian was right this time, and everyone was almost fooled by the Japanese.  The real purpose of the Japs is not morality, but the stone tablet!  The attack in the direction of Jin City was just a feint attack, and its purpose was nothing more than to contain the 29th Army and prevent it from going north.

    But Zhang Xian couldn't get excited at all. Although he was unfortunately right, the Japanese's game of chess was still very clever. They once again concentrated their superior forces, but in those small places between the police and Songzi,  Two armies and six combat divisions of more than 40,000 people suppressed the national army.

    "Zhang Xian, tell me what the Japanese's intentions are this time?" Sun Zhong asked Zhang Xian encouragingly.

    Zhang Xian frowned and stared at the map for a long time, suddenly breaking into a cold sweat.  He raised his head and glanced at Sun Zhong and saw that he was very calm. Apparently the acting commander had already seen it and just wanted to question him.  Immediately he said: "I'm thinking that one group of Japanese soldiers are coming from Anxiang, south of Gong'an, and the other group is pretending to attack Jin City, blocking the southwest of Gong'an and Songzi, and at the same time blocking our army's reinforcements from this direction; if the enemy  The Thirteenth Division crossed the Yangtze River again and went straight to the west bank of the Songzi River. The consequences were disastrous. At this time, our two armies were surrounded by the enemy, with the Yangtze River to the north and east, and they could only sit back and wait for death.  .¡±

    Sun Zhong nodded, and Guo Wan sighed: "Adjutant Zhang also saw that this move of the Japanese is really sinister. Do you have a way to crack it?"

    Zhang Xian nodded and said: "The purpose of this move of the Japanese is nothing more than to eliminate our combat power. The best way to defeat them is to withdraw first before they can cross the river, and then relocate our troops."  Along the Yuyang River, we must gain as much time as possible to build fortifications and prevent the Japanese from advancing westward."

    Guo Wan shook his head and said in a deep voice: "Young people are still too naive and lack consideration. Retreating before an inch of ground is contested will definitely attract criticism from the people of the country. Haha, let's not talk about our initiative to retreat. This will cause trouble.  As for the political consequences, let¡¯s talk about the military consequences. Letting the enemy cross the river with ease will definitely make them move westward calmly. By then, I¡¯m afraid we won¡¯t be able to stop them.¡±

    Zhang Xian thought about his words carefully, understood, and said: "What Yi Shenzuo means is that our army is to block the enemy's rapid advance, making it more difficult to capture a city, and to cross the Yangtze River without losing troops and generals."

    Guo Wan nodded affirmatively.

    "Then our two armies and six divisions are in some danger!" Zhang Xian said worriedly.

    "That's true!" Sun Zhong said, and said at the same time: "So, if we can prevent the Japs from crossing the river, then we will have won half the battle. Our reinforcements from the south will definitely arrive and break through the Japs' blockade in the direction of Jin City.  The troops, together with the Tenth Army, will annihilate all the enemies that rush into this place. If the Japanese are not prevented from crossing the river, then the Tenth Army can only withdraw westward and break out of the encirclement before the Japanese can form an encirclement.  "

    Zhang Xian thought about it again and couldn't help but said: "If we can lower the Jiang Defense Force and annihilate the enemy in Songzi and Gong'an areas, that would be a good idea!"

    Guo Wan and Sun Zhong looked at each other, smiled bitterly and shook their heads.  Zhang Xian also smiled bitterly, knowing that his move would never pass.

    ****************

    &The enemy will definitely gather heavy troops to invade westward and seize the stone tablets.  At the moment, Chen Cheng made a new operational deployment, that is, using Shipai as the axis, first ensuring the main decisive battle, and instructing the Tenth Group Army and the Jiang Defense Army to determine the decisive battle line as the line between Yuyang Pass, Jinyangkou, and Shipai Fortress.  The Jiang Defense Army mainly defended the Shipai Fortress with the 18th Army, and the 86th Army guarded the Niejiahe, Anchunao, Honghuachi, and Changlinggang lines in Yidu for a protracted battle to ensure the main decisive front of Shipai.  At this point, the battlefield gradually moved westward.  The Japanese army encountered many difficulties when entering the mountainous areas of western Hubei to fight; while our army held on to the dangers, this place became a big tomb for the enemy.

    After the meeting, when Chief Chen asked everyone if they had any questions, Zhang Xian hesitated and wanted to say something, but hesitated.  But this did not escape Chief Chen's sight. He called him by name and asked, "Zhang Xian, do you still have any questions?"

    Zhang Xian had no choice but to stand up, looked at everyone present, and then said: "I have a suggestion that I don't know whether to take it seriously or not."

    "Oh, tell me!" Chief Chen encouraged.

    Zhang Xiandao: "The Japanese launched this campaign and moved the combat headquarters to their frontline Shashi in order to boost morale. Shouldn't we also show weakness?"

    Chen Cheng was stunned for a moment, but then he laughed again and said: "Okay, your suggestion is very good. I, Chen, am not a greedy person. From tomorrow on, our combat headquarters will also move to the front line. Well, just  Go to Sandouping, the headquarters of the Eighteenth Army! Have a bloody fight with the Japanese there!"

    "Sir, you are wise!" everyone said in unison.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
