    Wuhan. Ministry of National Defense. Large conference room.

    The huge conference room was filled with stars. In addition to Commander Chen, who was known as the Chairman of the Small Committee, there were also Minister He from the Military and Political Department, Chief of Staff Bai Chongxi, Xue Yue, Commander of the First Corps of the Ninth Theater, and Zhang Fakui, Commander of the Second Regiment.  Others, all generals, not even a school officer can be seen.

    "Tap tap tap"

    Following the footsteps came the guard¡¯s announcement: ¡°The Chairman is here!¡±

    Everyone immediately sat upright and straightened their backs.

    The moment the door to the conference room was pushed open, Chairman Chiang walked in accompanied by Wang Shihe, director of the Attendance Room!

    Everyone in the conference room immediately stood up to show their respect for this leader!

    Lao Jiang¡¯s face didn¡¯t look very good, but he still nodded and said, ¡°Sit down!¡±

    After everyone sat down, Chairman Chiang looked at everyone, and then said: "Everyone, Germany's mediation has completely failed. The conditions proposed by the Japanese are to destroy our country and exterminate our race. The party-state cannot do it no matter what.  I can¡¯t agree, so I¡¯ll have to see the real chapter on the battlefield next.¡±

    Then Chairman Chiang said again: "During this period, the Japanese army has been mobilized frequently, and there seems to be a big move. Jiansheng, please tell us about the recent movements of the Japanese army!"

    Bai Chongxi stood up immediately and said: "Chairman, colleagues: According to the intelligence we have received, the Japanese army has readjusted its forces on the Chinese battlefield some time ago. Its troops in North China are still commanded by the North China Front. The commander is Juichi Terauchi, the staff officer  The commander is Major General Naosaburo Okabe, and he has 8 divisions and a mixed brigade, including the First Army and the Second Army, with a total strength of 160,000."

    "The strength of the Central China Front Army has increased from 4 divisions to 6 divisions, and the main commanders of the headquarters have been adjusted. Matsui Iwane was transferred back to the country and classified as a reserve. Marshal Hata Shunroku was transferred to the Central China Front Commander and was transferred to  Major Hebian Zhengsan will be the chief of staff."

    After briefly introducing the adjustment of Japanese troops in China, Bai Chongxi stood up and walked to the front of the conference room, where a huge map of the country hung.

    After walking under the map, Bai Chongxi picked up a pointer and said: "After adjusting its forces in China, the North China and Central China front armies of the Japanese army immediately launched a new offensive. In North China, the Japanese army wanted to occupy the area west of the Pinghan-Hankou Railway.  In the southern Shanxi area east and north of the Yellow River, the North China Front issued a combat order to the 1st Army stationed in Shijiazhuang to capture southern Shanxi Province. Then the 16th Division, 108th Division, and 109th Division were assigned to the 1st Army.  The 1st Army and the 4th Flying Regiment of the Provisional Aviation Corps also cooperated with the 1st Army."

    "At this time, on the battlefield in Shanxi, the locations of the five divisions of the Japanese First Army are: the 109th Division is located in Taiyuan, the 20th Division is located in Taigu, the 14th Division is located in Anyang and Daming, and the 108th Division  The regiment is located in Handan, and the 16th Division is located in Gaoyi. According to the location of each division, the enemy's 1st Army attacked the mountainous area of ??southern Shanxi based on the characteristics of Pinghan Road in the east, Tongpu Road in the west, and the natural danger of the Yellow River.  Adopting the combat method of pushing forward along the Tongpu Road and supporting the west wing, four divisions were dispatched to besiege southern Shanxi, with the 20th Division as the main attack."

    Then Bai Chongxi continued: "Two days ago, the enemy aviation regiment dispatched troops to conduct continuous bombings on the Yellow River Iron Bridge on Pinghan Road, Zhengzhou Station, Zhengzhou Airport, and our country's river-crossing troops. And the troops attacking southern Shanxi also  We began to move south according to the pre-determined combat route, and our troops pointed directly at the entire southern Shanxi."

    Hearing that the Japanese army actually dispatched four divisions to attack southern Shanxi, everyone took a breath of cold air.

    You must know that during the Battle of Taiyuan last year, the little devils only deployed one and a half divisions on the front, but they defeated more than thirty divisions and brigades in the second theater. When the 20th Division broke through later  On the Shota Line, it almost caused a complete collapse of the line.

    And now the Japanese army has dispatched four divisions of troops. On the other hand, due to the successive defeats in the World War II zone, the troops have suffered heavy losses. No matter how you look at it, there is not much chance of winning this battle.

    More importantly, Shanxi is close to Shaanxi and Henan. Once southern Shanxi is captured by the Japanese army, the Japanese army is likely to send its troops west to attack Xi'an, or go south to capture Luoyang. With China's military strength in the northwest, it may not be able to stop the Japanese attack at all.

    Chairman Jiang frowned even more. When he heard the buzzing discussion in the conference room, he immediately coughed and signaled Bai Chongxi to continue.

    Bai Chongxi did not hesitate and said immediately: "In Central China, after the Japanese 13th Division occupied Chu County, the enemy Central China Front attempted to use two divisions to attack north along Jinpu Road to attack Bengbu and support the 10th Division of the 2nd Army.  The division is fighting in the Jinan area. However, not long ago, the division was temporarily deployed by the 7th Division of the 67th Army in Chu County and Quanjiao Prefecture.?Suffering heavy losses one after another, his troops suffered heavy losses and lost their combat effectiveness. The plan to attack Bengbu was frustrated.  "

    "However, during this period, the intelligence department discovered that the Japanese army was massing troops on a large scale to the Chuxian and Nanqiao front lines. In addition to dispatching a large number of reinforcements to the 13th Division, the Japanese 101st Division stationed in southern Jiangsu was also ordered to  Heading westward, we are currently in the Liuhe area."

    "According to the judgment of our staff department, the target of the Japanese 101st Division is likely to be Chuxian County, which means that the Japanese army is likely to concentrate the 13th Division and the 101st Division to re-attack Bengbu."

    Hearing this, Chairman Chiang suddenly said: "Then can we hold Bengbu?"

    Bai Chongxi thought for a while and said, "It's difficult!"

    Bai then explained: "The three divisions of the 31st Army led by Liu Shiyi are stationed in Bengbu. Although their combat effectiveness is not weak, they only have more than 8,000 people. Facing a 13th Division, they already need the support of the 59th Army.  Now, we have to face two divisions of Japanese troops at once, and I¡¯m afraid our strength is still a bit weak!¡±

    Chairman Chiang frowned and said: "This Bengbu is the gateway to Xuzhou. Once something happens to Bengbu, Xuzhou will be in trouble. We must find a way to reinforce Bengbu!"

    "Commissioner, Zhang Xingchen's 59th Army is in Huaibei. How about transferring the 59th Army there?" Chen Cheng suggested.

    As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Chongxi said: "Although the 59th Army fought bravely, the unit suffered a lot of losses in the previous battle. It is said that it is an army, but the total strength is less than 15,000 people. There are still more  Allocate part of the troops to defend Huaibei, and the troops that can be mobilized are only one division, which is still far from enough!"

    At this time, Minister He suddenly said: "Commissioner, in fact, the most suitable troops to reinforce Bengbu are not in the north, but in the south!"

    "South?"

    "Yes, think about it, don't we have a strong team in the Quanjiao area!"

    "Quanjiao? Jingzhi is talking about Li Guoyao's Seventh Division?"

    "Yes, that's the Temporary Seventh Division! Although Li Guoyao's unit did not take long to expand into a division, the performance of this unit is impressive. In less than three months, it fought against the Japanese 13th Division.  Three times, 15,000 to 6,000 enemies were wiped out. Their strength was shocking, so it is most appropriate to send them north to reinforce Bengbu."

    Chairman Chiang thought for a while and said: "The Seventh Division has just fought with the Japanese army and suffered a lot of losses. It should take a while to rest. It seems a bit inappropriate to send them north to fight at this time!"

    "Commissioner, as far as I know, although the 7th Division wiped out more than 9,000 enemies last time, it lost only 3,000 of its own. After the war, the Military Commission added nearly 5,000 elite troops to three regiments for them. Their strength  Not only is it not weakened, it is even better than before.¡±

    As soon as Minister He finished speaking, Bai Chongxi also said: "If the Seventh Division goes north for reinforcements, Bengbu will definitely be reached in a short time. And with their powerful force participating in the battle, there is hope to defend Bengbu."

    Chairman Chiang thought for a while and said: "Okay then, immediately send a report to the 59th Army and the 7th Temporary Division, order them to set off immediately to reinforce Bengbu, and appoint Zhang Xingchen as the commander-in-chief of the enemy in front of Bengbu."

    "yes!"

    "Send another telegram to the chiefs of the First War Zone and the Second World War Zone, ordering them to find a way to stop the Japanese army at the front line of Zhongtiao Mountain in southern Shanxi, so that the Japanese army can enter northern Henan no matter what!"

    "yes!"
