After the meeting, Li Guoyao took Xu Hu and others back to the barracks.
As soon as he returned to the headquarters, Xu Hu couldn't help but ask: "Military seat, why did you take the initiative to take over the important task of staying in Wuhan City?"
Ma Desheng also asked: "Yes, military seat, all the troops have been withdrawn now. The main force of the Japanese army, Chen Bing, may launch a general offensive outside Wuhan at any time. With the strength of these few regiments in our hands, we may not be able to stop this battle for even one day." how to spell?"
"Yes, once bitten by the little devil, our army will most likely be wiped out!"
Li Guoyao glanced at Xu Hu and others, and then said: "You think if I didn't take the initiative to stand up and ask for help, we wouldn't have become the stay-at-home troops in Wuhan? How naive!"
"Military seat, you mean that even if we don't take the initiative, the final task of staying behind will still be handed over to us, is that true?" Xu Hu asked with a frown.
"That's for sure. You can look at all the people present at the meeting today. In addition to our 61st Army, there are also the 185th Division of Guo Chan's 94th Army, the Wuhan Garrison Brigade, the Police Headquarters, and the Military Police. Wait. Except for our 61st Army, there is almost no unit among these units that can shoulder this important task, so you can think about it, which unit will eventually bear this important task? "
Li Guoyao then continued: "Since we can't escape, let's just take the initiative. This way we can gain some initiative!"
"initiative?"
"Yes, when the meeting ended just now, I went to see Chief Chen in person. I made two conditions to him, and he agreed!" Li Guoyao said.
"What conditions?"
"First, he and I asked for three hundred tons of explosives!"
"Explosives, what are you doing?"
"Of course it's necessary for combat. Since we say we have to resist for a period of time, we can't just go through the motions. We have to leave some souvenirs for the little devil!" Li Guoyao said.
"But there is no need to ask for explosives from Chief Chen. We still have dozens of tons of explosives in the barracks, so we might as well ask for more ammunition!" Xu Hu said.
"You don't understand this. You will know what I used explosives for later!"
Then Li Guoyao continued: "Everyone, the Wuhan High Command has officially ordered the abandonment of Wuhan. Except for our 61st Army, all remaining troops have retreated to the outskirts of Wuhan and have determined their assembly points. The armies south of the Yangtze River have withdrawn to northern Hunan and western Hubei. "For the troops on the north bank of the Yangtze River, the 33rd Group Army withdrew to the Jinyangmen and Yicheng areas, the 32nd Group Army spread to the Xiangyang, Fancheng, and Zhongxiang areas, and the 11th Group Army withdrew to Sui County, Tangxian Town, and Zaoyang area to set up defenses."
"In addition, Tang Enbo's 13th Army entered Tongbai Mountain, Liu Heding's 39th Army entered Dahong Mountain to serve as guerrillas, the 21st Group Army and Xu Yuanquan's 10th Army, commanded by Liao Lei, entered the Dabie Mountains to serve as guerrillas behind enemy lines, and the 5th Theater Chief's Headquarters moved to Fancheng."
"Military seat, where will we evacuate after completing our mission?"
"This is the second condition that Chief Chen and I put forward. After completing the task of covering the retreat of the entire army, our unit can choose the direction and route of retreat on its own!"
Then Li Guoyao said again: "My plan is that after the troops complete their mission, the entire army will break out westward to the Hanchuan line, then cross the river via Hanchuan and go north, and pass through the enemy-occupied areas and enter the Dabie Mountains, together with Lu Zhanwu, Huang Dazi and others. People gather!¡±
"This is a good idea. Anyway, the Military Commission is already preparing to take away our designation. It would be good to leave Wuhan as soon as possible!" Xu Hu said.
"How many troops do we have now?" Li Guoyao asked in a deep voice.
Ma Desheng immediately replied: "Military seat, since Lu Zhanwu and others left, our unit now has less than 10,000 troops that can still fight. Among them, the temporary seventh division has 5,000 troops, the new 100th division only has 3,000 troops, and the remaining two Troops directly under the Qianwei Army!"
Li Guoyao frowned and said: "The number of troops is still too small, and the organization of each unit is basically messed up. According to the original plan, the remaining units will be integrated to form three main infantry regiments and one directly affiliated unit. The first regiment commander Zhang Tengjiao will be the leader, the second regiment leader will be Xie Baojun, the third regiment leader will be Wen Debiao, and the directly affiliated regiment leader will be Li Dingguo!"
"yes!"
"The task of reorganizing the troops has been issued a few days ago, and you should be ready. There should be no problems, so now we still talk about how to fight this battle!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ma Desheng said: "I am also a little confused about this battle. The commission said that we should make symbolic resistance, but we must not lose the face of the Chinese army. This seems to be a bit contradictory?"
Li Guoyao shook his head and said: "No contradiction, symbolic resistance.Resistance means not to let us fight the Japanese army in a battle of attrition, but it does not mean that we will collapse at the first touch. So we have to fight this battle, and we have to fight it brilliantly! "
"Military seat, how do you want to fight?"
Li Guoyao immediately stood up, came to the hanging map, and said with firm eyes: "The current enemy situation is that the 23rd Regiment of Colonel Sano Tora of the Japanese 6th Division has passed through Shekou and reached the other side of Daijiashan in the northern suburbs of Hankou. . The Daijiashan area has strong reinforced concrete fortifications and a group of bunkers along the embankment. However, in order to block the enemy's advance, the local troops have destroyed the bridges and the Japanese have not crossed the river for the time being."
"Since we have decided to abandon Wuhan, Fang Tian's 185th Division will not be able to hold on in the future, so our department must take over the Daijiashan position before the 185th Division retreats. With the strong fortifications there, even if the little devil has one division The regiment can¡¯t even think about entering the city for the time being. I¡¯ll leave this matter to the regiment. Is there any problem?¡±
Zhang Tengjiao immediately stood up and said: "No problem, please rest assured, military commander!"
Then Li Guoyao continued: "At the same time, the 60th Regiment of the Japanese 15th Division on the eastern front also broke through the defense of the Gedian 55th Division from land and continued to advance westward. It is expected to arrive in Wuchang this afternoon. My idea is to concentrate our forces and eat this 60th Regiment!"
Hearing Li Guoyao¡¯s words, everyone was dumbfounded!
"Military seat, now we are barely able to protect ourselves, how can we annihilate a complete infantry regiment of the Little Japs? What's more, this 60th regiment is only the vanguard of the Japanese army, and its follow-up is a Japanese division"
Before Xu Hu finished speaking, Li Guoyao said: "Not one division, but three. The Japanese 15th Division, the 9th Division, and the 27th Division have all arrived outside Wuhan!"
"Yes, these are three divisions. Once we are entangled by the Japs, it will not be a trap, but a door-to-door delivery!" Xu Hu said.
Li Guoyao nodded and said: "I understand your worries, but what I tell you is that we must fight this battle, not only because we have orders from the Military Commission, but more importantly, we have to fight for the people in Wuhan City. The common people are left with a hope!¡±
"hope?"
"Yes, the Japanese army invaded Wuhan, but the millions of Chinese troops failed to defend Wuhan. How desperate the people were. If we, as the last remaining troops in Wuhan, evacuated Wuhan in despair, then no one would think that this was a disaster. It was a strategic retreat, but a huge rout, so we must use practical actions to tell the people in the city that we are retreating, not rout, and sooner or later we will have to fight back!" Li Guoyao said.
"Military, what you said makes sense, but can we really annihilate the 60th Regiment of the Japs?"
"It all depends on people!" Li Guoyao said.
"Military, since you have made up your mind, brothers, let's not say anything more and give the order!" Xu Hu said.
"Well, Lao Xu, I will leave the battle in the direction of Daijiashan to you, and I will personally deal with the Japanese soldiers in the direction of Gedian!"
"OK!"
"Every unit, please act according to the plan, adjourn the meeting!"
