    "Hopu, who do you want to recommend?" Lao Jiang asked in a deep voice.

    "The candidate I want to recommend is Li Guoyao, deputy commander-in-chief of Wuhan Garrison Command and commander of the 61st Army!"

    "Hopu, you mean to mobilize the 61st Army to march eastward to reinforce the Jiujiang battlefield?"

    "Well, as we all know, our Commander Li is not an ordinary person. He fought from the battlefield in Shanghai to Nanjing, from Nanjing to Wanzhong, and then from Wanzhong to eastern Henan. After that, he reported great successes in Wuhan City. It shows that Li Guoyao is indeed not  What a waste of fame. And as far as I know, many officers and soldiers of the army actually call him the God of War in private. The presence of the God of War in person will definitely greatly stimulate the morale of the frontline soldiers." Chen Shaokuan said.

    Hearing this, everyone's faces twitched, secretly thinking that Commander Chen really must retaliate for his anger, it was so straight that it was shocking.

    Everyone knows that a few days ago, Li Guoyao used the few remaining ships of the navy as bait in order to lure the little devil's fighter planes. This angered Admiral Chen, so much so that Admiral Chen even made a blockade.  Li Guoyao's affair.

    "Everyone thought that the matter was over, but they didn't expect that General Chen would attack Li Guoyao like this at this time. He was so cruel.

    However, Li Guoyao, who was sitting at the bottom, had no expression on his face. He was neither surprised nor happy nor angry, as if he was not the one he was talking about. He was very calm.

    "Lao Jiang frowned and said: "The main task of the Solemn Division now is to guard the sky over Wuhan. If they arrive at the front line of Jiujiang, who will be responsible for Wuhan's air defense?"

    "Committee, after two heavy losses, the strength of the Japanese aviation force has been greatly reduced. Before new fighters and pilots are added, the Japanese navy and army aviation can no longer pose a threat to our Chinese air force, and even if the 61st Army has to be mobilized to support the eastward march  In the Jiujiang battlefield, only the headquarters of the 61st Army has been transferred. The air defense force will remain in Wuhan City. It's just a change of commander. It's no big deal!" Chen Shaokuan said.

    Hearing this, Lao Jiang¡¯s eyes lit up. He had long been jealous of the air defense regiments belonging to the Air Defense Command.

    Although all the weapons and equipment of these regiments were purchased with money from the Military Commission, the training and other aspects were created by Li Guoyao. Before the Battle of Wuhan came to an end, Chiang Kai-shek had even deliberately wanted to use these regiments.  The order of battle assigned to the Central Army also depends on Li Guoyao's wishes.

    But if Li Guoyao, the deputy commander of the garrison, could be relieved of his duties before that, and then transferred to the front line, then he would not be able to interfere with the affairs of those regiments.

    In view of this, Lao Jiang was still very moved by Chen Shaokuan's proposal. He immediately stared at Li Guoyao and asked: "Sternly, what do you think of this matter?"

    "Returning to the committee, it is the bounden duty of soldiers to obey orders. As long as the Military Commission needs it, our 61st Army will go through fire and water without hesitation!" Li Guoyao said categorically.

    "Although solemn and solemn are young, your loyalty to the party and the country is visible, and it is worth learning from you. However, as the deputy commander-in-chief of the Wuhan Garrison Command, you have a heavy burden. Will you be transferred to the front line rashly?  Affect Wuhan¡¯s air defense?¡±

    Li Guoyao shook his head and said: "The little devil's aviation force has been crippled. They should not bomb Wuhan again in a short time. Besides the aviation force, the Japanese army has no other arms that pose a threat to Wuhan. It would be better if it is just temporarily transferred away for a period of time."  No problem!¡±

    Old Jiang nodded and said: "In that case, then dispatch your troops to Jiujiang urgently to reinforce the troops there!"

    "yes!"

    Perhaps he was still a little worried about Wuhan's air defense affairs. Lao Jiang hesitated and said again and again: "Although the situation in Jiujiang battlefield is critical, there are still more than 100,000 troops, so don't be too anxious, and arrange things in Wuhan first before setting off.  In addition, you don¡¯t need to hold the post of commander of the Air Defense Command concurrently. I¡¯ll find someone else to take over the job. You can go to the front lines and fight the Japanese with peace of mind. I¡¯ll award you a medal when you come back!¡±

    Li Guoyao knew that the medals Lao Chiang mentioned were referring to the medals of the first two Kongjie medals. It was said that they were a Medal of Baoding and a Medal of Blue Sky and White Sun, and they were both major awards. He hurriedly said: "Yes!"

    It was confirmed that Li Guoyao's troops would be transferred eastward to reinforce the Jiujiang battlefield. The meeting was almost over. Later, after Lao Jiang You gave some instructions for attention, the meeting was dismissed.

    After the meeting, Li Guoyao returned to the prevention and control headquarters to arrange funeral arrangements and prepare to leave for Jiujiang.

    As for the Military Commission, not everyone left after the meeting. After the evacuation of unimportant personnel, Chairman Chiang left a few confidants behind, including Chen Cheng, Commander of the Ninth War Zone, He Yingqin, Minister of Military Affairs, and Dai Li, Director of Military Command.  .

    In the small living room, thisEach of the two government officials had a teacup placed in front of them, and the hot tea inside was steaming.

    But everyone, including Lao Jiang, was not focused on the fragrant tea, but on the occupation in front of them.

    The atmosphere of war was getting stronger day by day. On the north bank of the Yangtze River, Inaba Shiro's Sixth Division marched westward from Hefei under the orders of Shunroku Tian. They successively defeated Yang Sen, Xu Yuanquan and other armies, captured Shucheng on the 8th, and captured the key passes of the Dabie Mountains on the 17th.  Qianshan.

    On the southern front, the Botian detachment specially transferred from the Japanese base camp from Taiwan acted as the vanguard of the attack up the Yangtze River and went straight to Anqing, the capital of Anhui Province at the time. The speed and sharpness of its movements shocked Chiang Kai-shek in Wuhan and also shocked the city of Wuhan.  The military and political officials here felt sad.

    ¡°For Chairman Chiang and the Chinese army, June was absolutely dark.  Although there was a happy event about Wuhan's air victory, bad news about the defeat on the front line came one after another.

    After the fall of Anqing on June 12, the Madang Fortress in the Yangtze River fell to the enemy on June 27, and Pengze County fell on the 28th, completely destroying Chiang Kai-shek's good mood.

    Lao Jiang leaned back on the chair, looking a little depressed!

    For a long time, his eyes rested on Chen Cheng for half a minute, and then he said: "Cixiu, what happened when Madang Fortress fell? I remember you said that the fortress can be defended for at least one month?"

    "Lao Jiang's voice was very solemn and his tone was very cold. He was frustrated but dignified, which put a lot of pressure on Chen Cheng.

    "Principal, this matter has been investigated clearly. It was mainly because the Japanese Army's Botian detachment launched a sudden attack, and the main officers of the 16th Army stationed at Xiangkou and Madang fortresses were not at their posts at the critical moment, so they were taken advantage of by the little devils. In addition, there were also  The 167th Division is also responsible for the poor rescue," Chen Cheng said.

    "The officers of the 16th Army are not on duty, what are they doing?" Lao Jiang asked in a deep voice.

    "According to the investigation, on the day when the Japanese army stormed Xiangkou, the officers above the captain of the 313th Regiment of the 53rd Division who were defending Xiangkou collectively accepted the invitation of Army Commander Li Yunheng and went to Madang Town to report and were scheduled to attend the graduation ceremony of the "Anti-Japanese Military and Political University" to be held the next morning.  In the early morning of the 24th, there was a heavy downpour. More than 6,000 people from the Botian detachment landed in Xiangkou. They quickly defeated the weak resistance of the defenders and formed a depth, causing the position to be captured by the Japanese army"

    Before he finished speaking, Lao Jiang's sharp voice rang out: "Mother Xipi, these are the commanders on the front line. What nonsense have they done? Li Baobing deserves to die!"

    Chen Cheng felt a sudden rush in his heart. He knew Li Yunheng (also known as Baobing) very well. This old Chiang Kai-shek who graduated from the first batch of the Baoding Army Accelerated School not only participated in the Wuchang Uprising and fought on the battlefield of "Suppression of the Communists", but now he is over fifty years old.  Fighting on the front line deserves respect.

    What's even more rare is that as a "veteran", Li Yunheng has a peaceful mind and does not care whether he is commanded by Liu Xing or Luo Zhuoying. He has almost no discounts on the orders of his superiors. He is a good general, but he cannot be let go.  The chairman was beheaded when he got angry.

    In view of this, Chen Cheng hurriedly said: "Principal, Commander Li cannot be entirely blamed for this matter. The War of Resistance is after all long-term. Unity and cooperation between the army and the people are very important. It is understandable that they can improve each other's friendship during study. That's why Li Yunheng is in this position.  I convened the township chiefs and security chiefs from Madang and Pengze, as well as officers above the platoon leader of each department under their jurisdiction, to conduct intensive political training. The intention was good, but I did not expect that they would be used by the Japanese."

    "Furthermore, when Madang was attacked, Xue Weiying of the 167th Division had been ordered to reinforce Madang. However, Xue Weiying was slow to move. He only set off after being urged by Commander Li many times. What's even more terrible is that Xue Weiying was worried about being attacked by the Japanese army while walking on the road, so he acted too smart.  It took eight hours just to cross the river via a roundabout way. By the time they arrived at Madang, the battle was over, so Xue Weiying was more responsible for the fall of Madang!" Chen Cheng said.

    "Since we have the responsibility, we should investigate it and leave this matter to the Ministry of Military and Political Affairs!" Lao Jiang said.

    "yes!"

    "What do you think about the 61st Army's reinforcements in Jiujiang?" Lao Jiang asked again.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
