A certain capital, headquarters.

The battle situation in Songhu is becoming more and more serious, although the main force of the national army in Rozaobang has been withdrawn one after another, and the Gui Army troops of the 21st Group Army have fully taken over the defense position.

However, the elite aces of the national army who participated in the war have been seriously injured. Some of them are dead and injured, and the rest are still retreating. All the troops are exhausted and are approaching their limit!

Anyone with a little bit of brain would know that they can't hold on to the Battle of Songhu for much longer!

However, the Chairman of the Generalissimo was determined not to allow the troops to withdraw immediately because he insisted on waiting until the Brussels meeting was over before withdrawing!

Until now, the Chairman still has unrealistic illusions about the West and the Nine-Nation Pact. He hopes that the Nine-Nation Pact can intervene in Sino-Japanese disputes and exert tyrannical pressure on the Japanese army!

But today, both Chairman Chiang Kai-shek and his staff were all focused on the direction of Hezaobang and Dachang.

Everyone is anxiously waiting for the final results of the battle in the direction of Zhizaobang and Oba. Especially the chairman is even more anxious to know whether all the elite troops of his national army have been transferred to Oba.

So he was anxiously waiting for the latest news from the field: was the defense change and evacuation successfully completed? Or was the Japanese army ruining the defense change and evacuation plan?

Also, the 21st Group Army of the Guangxi Army took over the defense of Zhongzaobang. What is happening now?

For the entire Songhu Battle, the counterattack at Hazaobang is still one of the most important locations. If even the 21st Group Army of the Guangxi Army, which he is more optimistic about, loses to the Japanese army, then the Songhu Battle is almost over.

Got it!

Therefore, the Chairman very much hoped that the Gui Army would win, but when he thought about the continuous arrival of Japanese reinforcements, he became increasingly nervous and uneasy.

Because of his nervousness and uneasiness, he kept wandering back and forth in his room, feeling very upset.

The chairman did not even dare to look back at the wall clock and asked Wang Shihe beside him: "Shihe, what do you think of the combat effectiveness of Commander Bai's Gui army? Can they withstand the fierce counterattack of the Japanese army?"

"Commissioner, I don't understand the art of war, so I don't know how to express my opinion!!"

"However, many people say that Commander Bai's Gui Army is very capable of fighting, and Commander Liao, the commander of the group army known as "Liao Mengzi", and this new force under him have been fierce and tenacious since a long time ago.

Everyone knows that he is famous throughout the country for his ability to fight well!"

"And isn't Commander Liao deeply admired by you?"

"So I feel that Commander Liao may give you a big surprise, maybe!"

Wang Shihe thought for a while and then answered quietly.

"Well!" Chairman Jiang's expression changed and he asked again, "Good steel is used on the blade! I hope this "Liao Mengzi" under Commander Bai, known as "Little Zhuge", will not let me down.

?”

"Yeah! Commission!"

"Everything will be fine!"

"You don't have to worry too much about the appointment!"

"Once there is any abnormal situation, I firmly believe that the front line will immediately send an urgent call back to report!"

"At least Boss Dai will be the first to notify the committee!"

Wang Shihe continued to comfort the chairman's depressed and anxious mood.

"Hopefully!"

The chairman's face softened slightly, and then he glanced at all the senior officers around him to see the expressions of these officers who were equally anxiously waiting for the battle at Hazao Bang and Dachang.

How.

"Well...Shihe! If the war situation deteriorates too quickly and the Japanese army advances too quickly, we cannot rule out the possibility that our army will not be able to send the telegram in time."

"Wouldn't it mean that we wouldn't be able to receive important battle information from the front line tonight?"

When the Chairman looked at the facial expressions of the high-ranking officers, who were also anxious and uneasy like his own, he suddenly felt nervous and thought about the worst. He looked at Wang Shihe worriedly and asked.

"Ah!...this..."

When asked this question, Wang Shihe was speechless for a while.

At the same time, he secretly thought that Gui Jun would not be so useless! He was beaten by the Japanese army and could not even send a telegram?

Seeing that Wang Shihe was speechless in response to his question, Chairman Jiang suddenly frowned in displeasure and once again glanced at the surrounding high-ranking officers.

He wanted to see if anyone could give him a more confident answer or some good news.

But everyone hurriedly lowered their heads, not daring to make eye contact with the chairman or make a speech.

Because they all know that the Battle of Songhu has reached this point, and the national army is already retreating steadily.

Being able to defend against the Japanese army's continued attack is already great news. Do you still want to defeat the Japanese army, which has more and more reinforcements and more and more sophisticated weapons and equipment?

That is simply easier said than done, so these high-level officers secretly fight against their own Xiao Jiujiu.

There are even many senior military officers who are thinking about how to transfer their property and leave Songhu and Nanjing.

"Are you all so dismissive of the Gui Army troops that Commander Bai is so proud of? Do you all feel that the Japanese troops are so powerful that you are too afraid to defeat them?"

Seeing all the officers in front of him who had their heads lowered and were in low moods, not daring to take a breath, the Chairman immediately raised his voice a lot and his temper started to become irritable, and he asked coldly.

As soon as he finished speaking, a communications officer who was in charge of waiting in the telegraph room to receive reports from the front suddenly walked up to Wang Shihe in a hurry, covered in cold sweat, and timidly handed him an urgent telegram from the front.

.

As soon as Wang Shihe received the telegram, his brows furrowed like the Chinese character "Sichuan" and his heart felt cold.

Because the battle reports reported by the telegram in his hand were all bad news about battle damage, and there was no good news.

"What happened?"

"Why do you look so ugly?"

Sensing the sad expression on Wang Shihe's face, the chairman suddenly had a premonition of something bad happening, so he hurriedly asked.

"The 48th Army, the main force of the Guangxi Army, had just fought with the main force of the Japanese army, and it was already suffering heavy casualties. On the front line of Zongzaobang, they had already lost 2 brigade commanders and 6 regiment commanders.

There are dozens of battalion and company commanders and more than 2,000 soldiers."

"In addition, a regiment of the 174th Division of the Guangxi Army was attacked by the Japanese air force on the battlefield, and almost the entire regiment was killed!"

"The main attacker is the Xiachu Center of the 98th Division of the 9th Group Army. It has been recruiting new recruits four times. The quality of the soldiers is not as good as in the early days of the war. The officers and soldiers suffered almost 5,000 casualties!"

"The 60th Division, 44th Division, 51st Division, 58th Division and other 16th Army Corps brother units that cooperated with the 98th Division to attack the Japanese army also suffered heavy casualties! New recruits are being replenished, and guns and ammunition are being replenished in the logistics!"

"Most of the positions in Hazao Bang have been fully occupied by the Japanese army!"

"..."

In response to the chairman's question, Wang Shihe suddenly looked very embarrassed and worried, and answered in a low voice.

"Niang Xipi!"

"Why is it all bad news?" "Are our elite troops so bad and useless?"

"Isn't there an army that can kill the Japanese and kill them so thoroughly that there is no trace of armor left?"

After hearing this, the Chairman's face turned red with anger and he roared angrily.

Seeing this, all the senior officers around him lowered their heads and remained silent.

The atmosphere suddenly became very gloomy and embarrassing.

Even Wang Shihe didn't know what to say to comfort the chairman.

Just at this moment,
Chapter completed!
