    With the sound of footsteps, I saw the door of the conference room being pushed open!

    The first people to enter the conference room were a few guards wearing dark green military uniforms, followed by the chairman of the committee.

    With the arrival of Lao Jiang, all the officers in the conference room stood up to show their respect.

    Lao Jiang came to the main seat and sat down, and then said lightly with a Fenghua, Zhejiang accent: "Have a seat!"

    After everyone sat down, Chen Cheng, commander of the Ninth War Zone, immediately stood up and said: "Come to your seats, everyone is here, let's get started!"

    "Well! As the commander of the Wuhan garrison and the commander of the ninth theater, let me first tell you about the current battle situation on the front line!" Lao Jiang said.

    "yes!"

    As he spoke, Chen Cheng strode to the wall in front of the conference room, picked up a pointer, pointed at the map on the wall and said: "After the enemy occupied Xuzhou on May 19, they continued to pursue the west and southwest areas of Xuzhou in an attempt to annihilate  Our retreating troops expanded the occupied area in preparation for the southward attack on Wuhan via the Ping-Han Railway."

    "At the same time, in order to open up a southern route to attack Wuhan along both sides of the Yangtze River, the Japanese base camp ordered the Central China Dispatch Force to coordinate with the Chinese fleet to capture Anqing, Madang Fortress, Hukou Fortress and Jiujiang from Wuhu westward along both sides of the Yangtze River as a  Attack the forward base in Wuhan."

    "After consultation with the commander of the enemy's North China Front, Shunroku Hata, the commander of the Third Fleet and Shiro Kawako, it was determined that the Namada detachment, the 11th Marine Corps, the Marine Corps, and the 2nd United Air Force would go up the river to attack Anqing, Madang, and Hukou  , Jiujiang. The 6th Division captured Shucheng, Tongcheng, Qianshan, Taihu, Susong, and Huangmei along the land route from Hefei, and supported the troops attacking westward along the river."

    "Subsequently, Major General Shigeichi Hatada, who was stationed in Zhenjiang, and his 1st and 2nd Infantry Regiments, Mountain Artillery Regiment, etc., took a boat to Wuhu on June 7 to join the navy in preparations for the attack on Anqing."

    Then Chen Cheng continued: "After Botian and Kondo's troops made preparations together in Wuhu, on the night of June 10, Kondo took his flagship "Anzhai" and went westward along the Yangtze River with Botian's troops. Although he used the moonlight to turn off the lights for covert navigation,  The Chinese mobile artillery force along the river still discovered the enemy ships with the help of telescopes and fired at them, but failed to stop them. When the enemy ships arrived at the Datong River on the afternoon of the 11th, they were bombarded even more fiercely by the defenders."

    "The 6th Division in Hefei, according to the deployment of its leader, Major General Tokutaro Sakai, led its 13th and 47th Regiments, and the 2nd Independence Mountain Artillery Regiment, and went south to cooperate with the attack of the Namada Detachment. However, due to the complete failure of the roads and bridges along the way,  It was destroyed, coupled with the rain and mud, and was attacked from time to time by troops from Xu Yuanquan¡¯s 26th Group Army, so the movement was extremely slow.¡±

    "After the battle, the 11th Brigade occupied Shucheng on June 8, and then continued to attack Tongcheng, supporting the Botian detachment and the Marine Corps from land to attack Anqing."

    "The enemy advancing westward along the Yangtze River was bombarded by our troops from the shore when they arrived at Datong in Tongling County on the afternoon of the 11th. However, on the night of the 11th, the Japanese water force reached Tiebanzhou, about 20 kilometers away from the north bank of the lower reaches of Anqing.  Yanwang Temple and Jiangjun Temple were anchored along the coast. At 3 o'clock on the 12th, the Botian detachment landed there. The Marine Corps landed on the south bank and occupied the Shangyao Fort after a battle."

    "Subsequently, the Botian detachment advanced along the river embankment through Xinhekou, Dawangmiao, and Baojia Village to Anqing in the west, and occupied Anqing Airport in the evening. During this period, Yang Sen's 27th Group Army only provided general resistance to the enemy but did not make any effective attack.  Hold on, and at 7:00 on June 13, Anqing will be captured by the enemy."

    "The enemy Major General Sakai Tokutaro's 11th Brigade, which was advancing south from Shucheng, was resisted at all levels by Yang Sen's 27th Group Army. In addition, due to the complete destruction of roads and bridges, the advance was very slow. Its leader Hasegawa  Colonel Masahori's 47th Regiment captured Tongcheng on June 13 after a vigorous attack."

    "According to the announcement issued by the enemy navy, after the enemy successively occupied Shucheng, Tongcheng, and Anqing, we have basically determined the enemy's intention to attack Wuhan."

    As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a crisp "pop" sound, and saw Chairman Chiang banging the table and saying angrily: "Mother Xipi, on the north bank of the Yangtze River west of Hefei, there are the 26th and 27th Army Groups.  Can we stop the westward advance of two brigades of enemy infantry and marines? They are all useless?"

    Chen Cheng said hurriedly: "Commissioner, I also ordered someone to investigate the failure of this battle"

    ¡°Let¡¯s get to the point, how is the situation? Has anyone neglected their duties?¡± Chairman Chiang asked.

    Everyone felt a sense of awe in their hearts, secretly thinking that someone was going to be unlucky today. Looking at the expressions of the committee members, you could tell that this person was in a very unhappy mood today!

    "Commissioner, the investigation is that Shucheng fell on the 8th. Our 145th Division Meng Qingyun Brigade and the 5th and 7th Security Regiments and Song Shike's 1st Regiment retreated to Qilihe. The enemy on the north road only had 400 or 500 people, and our armyFrom Ershilipu, Hefei, to Qilihe, there was no fierce fighting. The soldiers fired empty guns indiscriminately, discipline was lax, and they retreated as soon as the enemy came.  In addition, the Ding Zhipan Department of the 41st Division, the Xu Jiwu Department of the 48th Division, and the Luo Shujia Department of the 199th Division were very weak in combat effectiveness. They retreated from Guanting without firing a single shot. They were ruffling along the way and disturbing the people in every possible way.  "

    "You bastard, call Yang Sen's department immediately and tell them to "abandon the famous city and laugh at the allies", and then ask them to counterattack Anqing immediately!"

    "yes!"

    "Where is the Japanese Sixth Division now?" Chairman Chiang continued.

    "Returning to the committee, Sakai's 11th Brigade arrived in the Yuantanpu area about 25 kilometers northeast of Qianshan on June 16. Perhaps the Japanese army knew that the west bank of the Wanhe River east of Qianshan and the west bank of Qianshan and the southern foot of Dabie Mountain were all built  There are relatively systematic fortifications and artillery positions, so we did not attack the area head-on. Instead, the main force made a detour from both sides, and one part was located on the front. With the support of artillery and aviation, we attacked Qianshan!"

    Then Chen Cheng continued: "According to the news we received yesterday, Colonel Hidemitsu Nakano's 13th Infantry Regiment was north of the Yuantanpu-Qianshan road and approached Qianshan from the right wing. Colonel Yamada Masamitsu's 47th Infantry Regiment  , south of the highway from Yuantanpu to Qianshan, approaching Qianshan from the left wing. With the support of both wings, the 6th Cavalry Regiment of Lieutenant Commander Koga Kyuzang made a rapid attack along the road towards Qianshan. Harada Osaka's independence  The 2nd Mountain Artillery Regiment supports siege operations in the area east of Qianshan."

    "When are the Japanese troops expected to attack the city?"

    "Tomorrow afternoon!"

    "Can we defend Qianshan?"

    Chen Cheng was silent for a few seconds and said: "It's difficult! In this operation, the Japanese army dispatched 4 regiments, adopting the method of frontal attack and roundabout encirclement on both sides, as well as the fire support of aviation and artillery. Regardless of the strength of the defenders,  Still, we don¡¯t have the advantage in terms of firepower, so it¡¯s very difficult to defend the hidden hill!¡±

    "No matter how difficult it is, we must hold on. Once Qianshan is captured by the Japanese army, the Japanese army on the northern front will bypass the Dabie Mountain defense line, and the previous preparations will be in vain!" Chairman Chiang said.

    "yes!"

    "The intention of the Japanese army to invade Wuhan has become very obvious. Now the government has decided to conduct a large-scale strategic decisive battle with the Japanese army in the Wuhan area. Elite troops from all over the country are being transferred to Wuhan one after another, so the troops on the front line must fight for the troops in the rear.  In time, when the main force of the army arrives, we will definitely be able to annihilate the main enemy force under Wuhan City!" Chairman Chiang said.

    "yes!"

    "In addition, I will send a message to the front line in my name. The order is as follows: Huangchuan, Commander-in-Chief Li, Commander-in-Chief of Wuhan and ** garrison Cheng, Deputy Commander-in-Chief Li, Commander-in-Chief Xu Yuanquan, Commander-in-Chief Liu of Jiujiang and Commander-in-Chief Xing, Commander-in-Chief Qianshan,  Commander-in-Chief Yang Sen: Instruction: The main force of the Xu Department should quickly attack the enemy in the direction of Shucheng and attack their sides. The main force of the Yang Department should guard the Upper and Lower Shipai Hidden Mountains and wait for reinforcements. Even if the last person is sacrificed, they should not retreat to cover the horse.  When blocking the line, it is necessary to establish contact with the Wangjiang defense troops. Liu will send troops to directly guard Huayang and Wangjiang. Commander-in-Chief Yang, facing the front of Taihu Lake, must send troops to occupy the position first to secure the position. ** Commander-in-Chief of the Garrison  The commander must immediately send a strong force to occupy the forward position in key areas near Susong. I hope to report the deployment quickly."

    "yes!"

    "In addition, during this period, Japanese fighter planes continued to invade Wuhan City, so the 61st Army was transferred to the Wuhan Garrison Headquarters. Li Guoyao served as the deputy commander of the Garrison Headquarters, taking over the air defense affairs in the city, and working with Commander-in-Chief Luo and Commander Zhou to guard Wuhan.  Sky!"

    Li Guoyao stood up quickly and said, "Yes!"
