The blood of the Anti-Japanese War stained the mountains and rivers

Since the outbreak of the Wuhan Great War in June, frontline soldiers have fought bloody battles with devils in the vast mountains, plains, lakes and swamps of four or five provinces.

And in this spacious and bright Supreme Command, the busy staff and staff members have been tense, constantly adjusting and deploying various battlefields.

Reluctantly, the devils fought sharply. Although nearly one million Chinese troops suffered huge casualties, the devils who attacked Wuhan from the north and the south continued to approach Wuhan.

"Committee, most of the factories and schools in Wuhan have been moved, but the people must be prepared to evacuate at any time. If the devils break through the front line, we cannot let Wuhan repeat the mistakes of Nanjing, otherwise we will not be able to explain to the people of the country."

In a well-decorated small room on the left side of the war room, there are senior staff members who advise the chairman.

"I know about this matter, and I will arrange it as soon as possible." The chairman agreed when he saw the tired-looking staff.

Seeing that the staff member was still talking, the Chairman interrupted him with a wave of his hand: "You should go back to rest early, you are tired from running around these days."

Seeing that the chairman issued an order to expel the guests, the staff who hesitated to speak could only leave wisely.

Looking at the staff who shook their heads and left with a sigh, the Chairman went back to the chair behind the desk and sat down, resting his hands on the desk and rubbing his temples.

The aides reminded him that he never knew that Tang Shengzhi, the Chief of the Nanjing Garrison, left hundreds of thousands of people and troops to escape alone, and faced the vicious devils, which caused the Nanjing tragedy.

Although the main culprits are the vicious devils, they also bear a lot of responsibility, and they naturally know that Wuhan cannot be allowed to repeat the same mistakes.

But now they have put forward the slogan of "defending Wuhan", and millions of troops are fighting bloody battles across the board.

If the people are organized to evacuate at this moment, once the news spreads to the front line, it will definitely affect the morale of the army. Once the morale of the army is dispersed, then this battle will be impossible to fight, so we can't mess up our positions now.

So now we can only transfer factories, schools, and party and government agencies first. After all, it was said earlier that we would move to Chongqing, and it is hard for others to say anything, but once the people leave, it is meaningless to guard an empty city. As the supreme commander, he has to think about everything. .

"Tuk Tuk Tuk..."

Just when he was overwhelmed by various affairs, General Bai Chongxi, the deputy chief of staff, stood at the door and knocked on the door with his hand.

"It's Jiansheng, please come in and talk."

The chairman saw General Bai Chongxi, the deputy chief of staff, and hurriedly invited him to sit down in the room.

"What's the situation in the Ninth War Zone? Is there any news from Xue Boling?"

As soon as General Bai Chongxi sat down, the chairman asked impatiently.

Now it is difficult to fight everywhere on the battlefield. Tianjia Town, which was guarded by the Fourth Army a few days ago, was still lost after more than ten days of bloody battles.

Nearly [-] officers and soldiers died for the country, which led to serious consequences. The last line of defense of the three lines of defense on the Yangtze River was gone, and the situation was worrisome.

Fortunately, Xue Yue's First Corps of the Ninth War Zone on the southern front surrounded the Devil's 106th Division in the Wanjialing area. This finally gave them a glimmer of hope in the gloom, so he was very concerned.

"Committee, Chief Chen Cheng of the Ninth War Zone has just sent a telegram, and I am about to report it to you."

General Bai Chongxi has sunken eyes and haggard face these days because he is worried about the battle on the front line.

"Oh? What's the situation?" the chairman asked hastily.

"Officer Chen Cheng said in his telegram that Xue Boling had already surrounded the 106th Division to death, but the 106th Division had a strong fighting capacity, and the besieging troops had been fighting hard on the southern front for several months without any rest. It may take at least half a month to wipe out the 106th Division."

Hearing that it would take at least half a month to wipe out the 106th Division, the chairman frowned, and he got up and walked to the window.

Looking at the guards standing upright under the night, he was silent and did not speak, while General Bai Chongxi was also sitting there watching him, without disturbing his thinking.

Although half a month is not long for the war that has been fought for a summer, but now in order to avoid long nights and dreams, he still wants to annihilate the 106th Division as soon as possible. The situation in various places is worrying, and now they urgently need a big victory.

"I heard that Okamura Ningji has dispatched several divisions to the Wanjialing area to relieve the siege. Can the blocking forces stop it?"

After the chairman was silent for a long while, he looked back at General Bai Chongxi and asked.

General Bai Chongxi replied: "It is the 18th Army that is responsible for blocking the Japanese reinforcements. They have always been brave and good at fighting. It should not be a problem to block half a month."

"I just got the information that Japanese warships appeared in the sea near Guangdong recently. I am afraid that the Japanese army has a combat plan to land in Guangdong. But now the Guangdong army troops are all on the Wanjialing battlefield, and there is no one guarding Guangdong. What I mean is End the Wanjialing battle as soon as possible, and transfer the Guangdong troops back to the defense, otherwise we will fall into even greater passiveness if we lose the sea..."

Hearing what the chairman said, General Bai Chongxi was also worried. Since the fall of Shanghai, all the outlets to the sea in the north have been blocked by the Japanese army.

If the only outlet to the sea is blocked again, and the weapons and ammunition purchased from abroad cannot be shipped back, it will be even more difficult at that time.

"Besides, all the battlefields are fighting hard now, and the "Double Tenth Festival" is coming soon. If we achieve a big victory on the Double Tenth Festival, it will be a great encouragement to the morale of the army and the people. A little more."

Although the Chairman made all the truth, General Bai Chongxi sighed and said: "Commissioner, the 106th Division is stronger than imagined, so don't act too hastily."

"There is not much time left for us. You can send a telegram to Xue Boling directly, asking him to wipe out the 10th Division before October 10th, as a gift for Double Tenth Day!"

Seeing the unquestionable tone of the Chairman, General Bai Chongxi had no choice but to bite the bullet and agree.

"Commissioned seat, the 6th Division of the Japanese Army is attacking Huangpo, approaching Hankou..."

While they were talking, He Yaozu, director of the Military Commission, hurried over.

The 6th Division of the Japanese Army is a genuine old-fashioned division with a complete range of cavalry, infantry, armored tanks and other arms and strong strength.

Hearing that the Sixth Division was approaching Hankou, both the chairman and the deputy chief of staff all changed color. Once Hankou was lost, it would threaten Wuhan.

"Jiansheng, hurry up and send a telegram to Commander Li of the Fifth Theater, asking him to immediately deploy troops to keep the 6th Division out of Hankou."

"Yes!" General Bai Chongxi, deputy chief of staff, hurriedly stood up, turned around and walked out.

Text Chapter 642 Night Fire

Whether in the Xinyang area, at the foot of the Dabie Mountains, or on both sides of the Yangtze River, nearly a million troops fought bloody battles with the vicious devils on the vast battlefield.

The offense and defense of each battlefield affects the nerves of the high-level commanders on both sides, and they are busy day and night dispatching countermeasures.

The senior commanders are looking at the overall situation, dispatching and commanding the various armies and corps from the strategic level.

And the vast number of grassroots officers and soldiers also have their own things to do, that is to fight, destroy the enemy, or be wiped out by the enemy.

Compared with the invisible game between the high-level commanders of the two sides, on the battlefield like a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood, the grassroots officers and soldiers of both sides need to fight face to face.

The artillery fire destroyed the fortifications, the bullets pierced through the body, and the smoke filled the air. Every battle was life and death, extremely cruel.

The night enveloped the entire battlefield, and the sound of gunfire resounded through the invisible night, and shells that tore the air fell nearby from time to time, exploding into flames that soared into the sky.

Flares also kept rising and falling in the sky. Under the pale light, the trenches where the two sides fought during the day had been filled with mutilated corpses, so thick that it made one's scalp numb.

The officers and soldiers on both sides fought from morning to sunset, and when there was almost no time to breathe, they fought blood and blood countless times, repeatedly rushed and scrambled, and the corpses littered the field.

The troops suffered heavy casualties, and many brothers were exhausted and paralyzed in the crater, unable to move.

The air was filled with a strong smell of blood and long-lasting gunpowder. The high temperature of the explosion evaporated the only moisture in the air, and the air seemed to be on fire.

The brothers were lying on the battlefield weakly, licking their chapped and dusty lips, smoke was coming out of their throats.

"Company commander, is there any water left? I'm empty."
