    The national army now has three million troops across the country, but there are not many that can really fight, especially after the dozens of elite German weapon divisions have suffered casualties. This situation is even more obvious.

    Hearing Lao Jiang¡¯s words, everyone fell into deep thought. They sorted through the famous troops in the country from beginning to end, and there was really no one that could meet the requirements.

    At this time, the Minister of Military and Political Affairs He Yingqin suddenly spoke: "Commissioner, I humbly recommend a troop. Maybe I can agree with your request!"

    "Oh, I wonder which elite team you recommended?" Chairman Chiang asked hurriedly.

    "The 61st Army, I wonder if you are satisfied with the appointment?"

    "The 61st Army is under Li Guoyao?"

    "Yes, this force is small in size but extremely powerful in combat. It is most appropriate to send them north for reinforcements!" He Yingqin said.

    "It's impossible or impossible. Let's not mention that Li Guoyao's troops fought bloody battles on the Nanxun line for more than a month during this period. The casualties themselves were extremely heavy. They should seize the time to rest and recuperate. How can they mobilize their remnant troops to go north?"

    Chen Cheng then continued: "What's more important is that Li Guoyao's headquarters is now located on the Nanxun Line, and it is more than 400 kilometers from the Nanxun Line to Jiangbei Station. When they arrived, the day lilies were cold!"

    "Lao Jiang turned around and looked at He Yingqin. He didn't believe the situation of the 61st Army. The military and political minister didn't know. It seemed unreasonable to recommend the 61st Army to go north at this time!  But He Jingzhi still said this, and he must have a reason!

    He Yingqin shook his head and said: "Of course I know the situation of Li Guoyao's army, but the situation of the army is not as miserable as the outside world said. Li Guoyao's army suffered a lot of losses. More than half of the 7th Division under his command suffered casualties.  The 100th Division also suffered heavy losses, but the organization of the army was larger than we imagined. Before the war, Li Guoyao's unit had expanded to about 30,000 people, almost as much as a group army."

    "According to the casualties reported by the 61st Army not long ago, this unit still has at least 15,000 people. But don't forget that almost all the soldiers in Li Guoyao's unit are veterans of hundreds of battles, and the weapons and equipment of this unit are far better than  Ordinary troops are better. The most important thing is that they are in a suitable location. They can go north along the highway as long as they cross the Yangtze River."

    Chen Cheng retorted again: "No matter how we say it, Li Guoyao's army is a tired force. The distance of 800 miles from the Nanxun line to the Fujin Mountain line cannot be reached in less than ten days, and the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly.  Are there reinforcements that need to be dispatched from a place eight hundred miles away?"

    However, He Yingqin did not give in at all and said: "Don't underestimate the quality of Li Guoyao's troops. The combat effectiveness and tenacity of this army are beyond our imagination. Eight hundred miles is indeed a bit far for ordinary troops, but for Li Guoyao's troops  But it¡¯s nothing.¡±

    "As far as I know, the 61st Army has a record of marching more than 200 miles in a day and night on the Guide battlefield. The distance of 800 miles is actually not too far. Now let's see how long it can hold on in the direction of Fujin Mountain!"

    Chen Cheng said no more, but fixed his gaze on Chairman Jiang, wanting to see how he would make a decision!

    Chairman Chiang thought for a while and said: "Li Guoyao's troops made great achievements in this battle on the Nanxun line. They first defeated the Japanese naval fleet and annihilated the Japanese marines. Later, they recaptured Jiujiang City and annihilated Botian.  The detachment also blocked the attempts of the Songpu Division and the 27th Division to counterattack Jiujiang at Honghualing, and cooperated with Xue Yue's troops to annihilate the Songpu Division. Except for Xue Boling, no one on the Nanxun line made greater contributions than Li Guoyao.  Therefore, we cannot force them to carry reinforcements to Sun Lianzhong's troops at this time."

    Just when the Chairman of the Generalissimo would not order the 61st Army to go north, Chairman Chiang changed his voice and continued: "But looking at the troops on the front line in Wuhan, there is really no army with more suitable reinforcements than the 61st Army.  Well, let¡¯s do this, send a telegram to Li Guoyao in my name to explain the situation and see what he means!¡±

    Everyone was immediately confused. What kind of thing was going on and let Li Guoyao decide for himself?  Could it be that Li Guoyao said that if he didn't want to go north, he didn't have to go north?

    But the problem is, even if the chairman really means this, who dares to say clearly that he doesn¡¯t want to go north?

    "You must know that Chairman Chiang is asking this, it must be that he likes this unit in his heart. As a subordinate, you can only try your best to satisfy this person. If you find reasons to shirk, Chairman Chiang will definitely be unhappy

    After Li Guoyao received the telegram from the Military Commission, he felt bad. What kind of inquiry was this? It was just to put him on the fire!

    Although he didn¡¯t know why the Military Commission suddenly asked him if he could go north to reinforce Sun Yat-sen UniversityHowever, Li Guoyao knew that he was in trouble, and it was big trouble.

    In desperation, Li Guoyao could only call Xu Hu, Ma Desheng and others to discuss the situation together!

    In the command room of the temporary military headquarters, all division-level officers of the 61st Army were present, and this was the first time the 61st Army held such a high-level meeting after the bloody battle in Jiujiang.

    As soon as the meeting started, Li Guoyao said: "Brothers, when we call everyone over this time, we first want to ask about the situation of each unit. Let's start with the 7th Division!"

    Zhang Tengjiao, the temporary commander of the 7th Division, immediately stood up and said: "Reporting to the military, our division has a total of 3822 killed, 4875 injured, 112 missing, and a total of 8809 casualties, accounting for 61% of the total strength of the division. Now our division is still able to fight.  The number of troops was less than 6,000, and the losses in weapons and equipment were extremely heavy. Two-thirds of the light and heavy machine guns in the entire division were destroyed by the Japanese army, and the combat effectiveness declined seriously."

    "Where is the new 100th Division?" Li Guoyao asked again.

    "Reporting to the division seat, our unit lost 2,152 people and injured 2,265 people in this battle, with a total of 4,417 casualties. The overall losses were not very heavy, but like the 7th Division, our unit's weapons and equipment suffered extremely heavy losses. Light and heavy machine gun mortars  The artillery grenades, etc. are all used up and are in urgent need of replenishment!" Xie Baojun, commander of the new 100th Division, stood up and said.

    "Where are the troops directly under the army?"

    Chief of Staff Ma Desheng immediately stood up and said: "Military seat, the situation of the troops directly under the army is not very good. Only one of the two artillery regiments was beaten, and two-thirds of the artillery was lost. Zhu Jiansheng and Zhang Weihua were seriously injured, and two  The air defense regiment also suffered heavy losses, and it was only possible to form one regiment. The engineering regiment and the guard regiment also suffered heavy losses, especially the guard regiment, which lost one-third of its personnel!"

    "At present, the overall strength of the troops directly under the army has been weakened by about half compared to before the war, and the available troops are only about half of before. Especially the various technical arms have suffered the greatest losses!"

    After hearing the reports from each unit, Li Guoyao said in a deep voice: "So in this battle, the overall strength of our army has dropped by about half. It is not a disaster, but compared to our army's record, it is acceptable!"

    Then Li Guoyao continued: "Brothers, in this battle, our unit annihilated a Japanese Marine Corps, a naval fleet, and an independent mixed detachment. In addition, we also blocked the long-term siege of two Japanese divisions and killed 18,623 Japanese troops.  , wounded countless people, captured more than 30 Japanese warships, shot down 69 Japanese fighter planes, destroyed 165 tanks, destroyed 51 large-caliber artillery pieces, killed 2 Japanese generals, 32 assistant officers, and countless lieutenants, showing military prestige.  , demonstrated national prestige!¡±

    Hearing Li Guoyao's words, everyone in the headquarters was stunned. Since not many Japanese troops were wiped out in this battle, for example, the previous Matsuura Division and the 27th Division that later entered the battlefield only blocked the opponent's attack.  , and did not completely wipe out the enemy forces.

    Because of this, it is not easy to determine the results of the battle. Until now, the military headquarters has not reported the results to the Second Corps Headquarters.

    "But what everyone didn't expect was that the military commander actually said it so clearly. He knew how many people were killed, how many warships were captured, and how many enemy fighter planes and tanks were shot down. It was really surprising.

    This also includes Ma Desheng, the chief of staff. In fact, he has already calculated the results, but has not yet had time to report them to Li Guoyao.

    More importantly, after statistics from various units, he determined that the results of the war were less than what Li Guoyao just said. However, it is not necessarily true that Li Guoyao was lying about his war achievements, because the number of warships captured and the number of enemy tanks destroyed were  Consistently, if the military commander was just talking nonsense, it would be absolutely impossible for the numbers he calculated to be the same.

    But when he thought of the mysterious ability of the military throne, Ma Desheng stopped thinking about it, let alone refuted it!  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
