    The reason why Li Guoyao knew so well the results of this battle was of course inseparable from the help of the system, because whether he killed the Japanese or destroyed those heavy equipment, Li Guoyao had to score statistical points.

    So at the end of the battle, Li Guoyao knew what the record of his department was in this battle, but sometimes he couldn't say it directly!

    Compared to losses, the record is indeed better!

    However, Li Guoyao still couldn't hide his sadness. In this battle, the 61st Army Company was killed and wounded, with a loss of more than 13,000 people. Although less than 7,000 people were actually killed, it was still equivalent to three and a half infantry regiments being forcibly killed.  Erased completely.

    But these officers in the conference room did not think so. Although the casualties of the troops were not small, they were nothing compared with the results of the battle, because such a comparison of casualties could definitely be called a great victory.

    ¡°A great victory means commendations and rewards, as well as promotion and wealth. Isn¡¯t this what they want to see?

    However, what Li Guoyao said next made everyone's expressions freeze, and the good mood completely disappeared!

    Li Guoyao took out a message and said: "Everyone, after I finish talking about the situation of the troops, I will talk about the second thing about asking everyone to come over."

    "This is an emergency telegram sent by the Military Commission an hour ago. Unforeseen circumstances occurred on the Jiangbei battlefield. The Japanese Second Army suddenly adjusted its tactics and changed its main attack direction, forcing General Sun Lianzhong's Third Corps to the forefront, so the Military Commission  They will ask if our troops can go north immediately to reinforce Sun Lianzhong¡¯s troops!¡±

    As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Tengjiao stood up and said: "Let us go north to reinforce Sun Lianzhong's troops. What bastard came up with this bad idea. We are now on the front line of Ruichang, hundreds of kilometers away from the Jiangbei battlefield. How are we going to get there? Do we have to walk?"

    Li Guoyao said calmly: "It doesn't matter who came up with the bad idea. What matters is that the telegram was sent by Chairman Chiang Kai-shek himself!"

    After hearing the words Chairman Chiang, the atmosphere in the conference room instantly became more solemn. For a while, no one spoke anymore, only bursts of heavy breathing were heard.

    After a long time, Xu Hu said: "This news is indeed shocking, but since the Military Commission has asked us, it is indeed possible that we will be ordered to go north. While the order has not yet been issued, we will carefully analyze the specific situation and see  Do we have the ability to reinforce Sun Lianzhong¡¯s troops?¡±

    Li Guoyao nodded and said: "Old Xu is right, instead of thinking about things that make you angry, it is better to analyze whether you can go north!"

    Xie Baojun immediately said: "Military seat, according to the battle report sent by the Military Commission a few days ago, Sun Lianzhong's troops should fight on the front line of Yeji and Jinzhai to the west of Lu'an. The straight-line distance from Ruichang is about three hundred and fifty.  Kilometers, but it has to cross the Yangtze River and cross the Dabie Mountains, and the walk may be far more than 350 kilometers."

    "And our unit has just finished a bloody battle with the Japanese army. Not only are everyone in our unit very tired, but there are also thousands of wounded in our unit. It is almost impossible to lead these people north to fight!"

    Lu Dashan also said: "Military, I don't think it's appropriate to go north. We don't have a car now, and we don't have a boat. The warships of the little devils are always cruising along the Yangtze River. With them around, crossing the river is a problem for us!"

    "Crossing the river is not a problem. If the Jiujiang area cannot cross the river, we can go north to Wuxue. There is absolutely no problem in crossing the river from there. However, our weapons and equipment consumption is extremely serious, especially heavy weapons. With the current situation of the army, even on the battlefield  It won't be of much use!" Wen Debiao, deputy commander of the new 100th Division, said.

    At this time, Chief of Staff Ma Desheng looked at Li Guoyao and said: "Military seat, judging from the current actual situation of our army, it is indeed not suitable to go north. What do you think?"

    Li Guoyao looked at the crowd and said: "Actually, all the difficulties you mentioned can be overcome. We can not march with the wounded and just send them back to the stay in Wuhan. As for weapons and equipment, we can also apply to the Military Commission.  I was just wondering if it was necessary to go north!¡±

    Ma Desheng immediately said: "From a strategic point of view, the Japanese army's attack on Wuhan is divided into three groups. On the surface, the greatest threat to Wuhan is Okamura Neiji's 11th Army. However, because the Military Commission has deployed a large number of troops along the Yangtze River,  The heavy troops caused great losses to the 11th Army. At present, the attack is weak, but the Second Army in the direction of the Dabie Mountains is making rapid progress!"

    "Once the Japanese army captures the front line of Shangcheng, they can easily capture Xinyang and finally move south to Wuhan via the railway line. By then, the city of Wuhan will be in trouble. So from a strategic point of view, it is necessary to reinforce Sun Lianzhong's troops, but our army may not  They are the most suitable reinforcements.¡±

      ¡°What are other people¡¯s opinions?¡± Li Guoyao asked again.

    "I still don't agree to go north. A long-distance attack of hundreds or thousands of miles is a test for any army. What's more, the Japanese troops on the north bank of the Yangtze River have already reached the Susong line. If we go north so rashly, we may be captured.  The Sixth Infantry Division is being targeted, and it will be difficult to deal with it then." Zhang Tengjiao said.

    "I don't agree to go north even if I'm a junior official. It's too risky. This trip north is bound to be a bloody battle. In the Jiujiang battle, more than half of our troops suffered casualties. If there is another bloody battle, I'm afraid the entire army will be left with an empty shell.  It¡¯s not always the case that unlucky guys like the Eighth Army serve as supplementary troops for us!¡± Xie Baojun said.

    "Military seat"

    Hearing that everyone was reluctant to go north, Li Guoyao raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet!

    Afterwards, Li Guoyao stood up and said in a solemn tone: "I know everyone's opinions, but contrary to your opinions, I plan to go north to reinforce Sun Lianzhong's troops!"

    "Military seat, are you really planning to go north?" Xu Hu asked with a shocked look on his face.

    "Um!"

    "Why?"

    Li Guoyao said immediately: "There are three reasons. One is that we need to reinforce Sun Lianzhong's troops. The reason is that Lao Ma has just said that the battle in the Dabie Mountains is crucial and will even affect the entire Wuhan battle. We need to reinforce them."

    "Secondly, we have the ability to reinforce them. There are difficulties, but as Baojun said, the difficulties can be overcome. We can withdraw all the wounded and non-combatants back to Wuhan City. Anyway, Deputy Commander Wang is also in Wuhan City.  We can rest assured that we will hand over the people to Deputy Commander Wang. If we are short of weapons and equipment, we can ask the Military Commission for them, and they will not refuse to give them at this time."

    "What's more, we have seized a large amount of baggage materials from Jiujiang City before. As long as a batch is transported from Wuhan City, we can make up for the loss, so weapons and equipment are not a problem."

    At this point, Li Guoyao's tone suddenly became serious and he said: "Last and most important point, do you think Chairman Chiang's telegram is really just asking for our opinions? We said we are not willing to go north.  Can we not go for reinforcements?¡±

    "Military seat, will the Military Commission still force us to go north?" Zhang Tengjiao asked with a frown.

    Li Guoyao smiled coldly and said: "On the surface, the Military Commission asked our opinions by name to respect us, but this illustrates a problem. Apparently some people think that we can shoulder the important task of supporting Sun Lianzhong's troops, even Chairman Chiang Kai-shek  think."

    "The inquiry is just a gesture. If it was really an inquiry, we would not ask in such a formal official letter. Instead, we would send someone over privately or make a phone call to inquire. Such a formal official letter is almost equivalent to an order. What do you think?  Can you refuse?"

    Li Guoyao then continued: "I don't care who I offend, but it depends on the situation. Since we need to reinforce Sun Lianzhong's troops and we have the ability, then we shouldn't offend Shangfeng for this. What do you think?"

    Hearing Li Guoyao¡¯s analysis, everyone was silent!

    There is nothing you can do about your arm being unable to twist your thigh, and Li Guoyao has already made it very clear, there is no need to offend Shangfeng for this matter!

    "Military seat, if that's the case, then give the order!"

    "Yes, military commander, I will listen to you in everything!"

    Li Guoyao nodded with satisfaction, and then said: "Let's do it. After you go back, immediately count the wounded and non-combatants, and then our whole army will march towards Wuxue. After arriving at Wuxue, the whole army will be divided into two.  One will go straight to Wuhan via Huanggang, and the other will immediately cross the river and head north!"

    "yes!"
