At the 12th Army Headquarters, Commander Yu looked very unhappy, while the officers and operational staff around him also lowered their heads, looked at each other, and did not say much.

"The Japanese planes suddenly came to bomb our place. This is not a good thing. What do you think of this?"

"Do you think the Japanese army will suddenly attack our place?"

When Commander Yu felt very troubled, he also irritably asked the officers and staff under him.

"This shouldn't happen!"

"The Battle of Wuhan is still going on now. The Japanese army has invested most of its troops in the Battle of Wuhan. They shouldn't have any troops that can be dispatched to attack us! And we are so far away, so for

Their supplies are not good! And didn’t they hear about the great victory at Wanjialing recently? That was a great victory that annihilated over 10,000 Japanese! This is an unprecedented great victory since the Anti-Japanese War!"

"I think it may be because the victory at Wanjialing angered the Japanese army. They want to rely on bombing our big cities to retaliate for the war they lost in Wanjialing!"

"I think that's how it should be!"

Chief of Staff Wang Jun was the first to respond.

Because Miao Peinan, Chief of General Staff,

There are also the 62nd Army Commander Huang Tao, who has the 152nd Division Commander Chen Zhang, and the 157th Division Commander Lian Tisheng; the 63rd Army Commander Zhang Ruigui has the 153rd Division Commander Peng Zhifang, and the 154th Division Commander Liang Shiji, as well as

Li Zhenqiu, Commander of the 186th Division, Lin Weichu, Commander of the 151st Division, and others did not speak out and were all silent, so he was elected as the first to respond to Commander Yu's questions.

.

"Then why did the Japanese planes attack our urban area for no reason? This bombing is no ordinary bombing. Our economic losses, as well as casualties, etc. are all huge!"

"Anyway, this bombing incident makes me very uneasy! I feel like the Japanese army is plotting on our side of the area and wants to launch an attack!"

Regarding Chief of Staff Wang Jun's response, Commander Yu was still suspicious and worried, and responded with concern.

"By the way, what do you think? Chief of Staff!"

However, before Chief of Staff Wang Jun could wait, Commander Yu turned around and suddenly asked Miao Peinan, Chief of General Staff who had been silent.

"I'm not very clear about the Japanese's every move at the moment!"

"But I think it would be better for us to deal with air defense issues immediately. I'm worried that the Japanese bombing once will lead to a second and third bombing, so I think we can also deploy our flying troops."

It would be better to come back to the urban area, so that we can meet these incoming Japanese aircraft groups!"

Regarding Commander Yu's sudden inquiry, Chief of General Staff Miao Peinan was surprised for a moment, and then responded more cautiously, because he didn't want to say it too well, and if something unexpected happened, he would need to go there by himself.

Carrying unnecessary responsibilities.

He is a shrewd man,

"No! Even if we deploy all our aircraft units here in the city, with the backward aircraft and the small number of pilots in our flying unit, I am afraid that they may not necessarily be the opponents of the Japanese aircraft group, and they may not be able to defeat them.

All these pilots will be wiped out. They are one of my trump cards to turn defeat into victory and save my life. Unless there is a particularly dangerous situation, I will try not to use them in combat!"

Regarding the suggestion of Chief of General Staff Miao Peinan, Commander Yu immediately disagreed.

Although Te also wants to immediately attack his flying troops for air defense, but this is one of his trump cards, so he will not use his trump cards easily.

Otherwise, after all the trump cards are exhausted, he will become a bachelor commander without strength. In this case, the situation will be bad.

A commander without strength will have his power eclipsed by those below him at any time.

At this moment, Commander Yu could never have imagined that the eight divisions of the Guangdong Army he led were about to fight against three Japanese divisions, as well as a heavy artillery regiment, a mountain artillery regiment, and three aircraft carriers.

More than 140 planes suddenly attacked, and a total of more than 70,000 Japanese troops were preparing to attack.

In fact, he is talking about eight divisions, but now he only has one 12th Army Group left (which has four divisions and two regiments), with a total strength of about 80,000 people.

The other troops have all been dispatched to the Battle of Wuhan, and they are all elite main forces, so the remaining troops he has not yet dispatched to the Battle of Wuhan have strong combat effectiveness.

"The flying force does not need to be deployed here in the city, but the air defense force and the air defense issue still need to be prepared! Otherwise, if the casualties and economic losses are still so heavy next time, it may not be easy to deal with.

!”

"So I think we must at least improve the air defense warning and other issues, otherwise it will be difficult to avoid the sudden attack and bombing of the Japanese plane group!"

Regarding Commander Yu's reluctance to deploy his own flying troops for air defense, Chief of General Staff Miao Peinan continued to pay attention to the issue of air defense and responded.

"Yes! I agree with this! Then let's leave it to the combat staff to handle it!"

"In addition, I think the defensive front in our urban area needs to be redeployed to make it safer. Although I don't know if the Japanese army will sneak attack us, but in order to be prepared, I feel that we should increase the number of troops in our urban area!

"

After hearing this, Commander Yu also nodded in agreement.

"Ah! How can this... why should this be handed over to our combat staff? Shouldn't it be handed over to the garrison and garrison troops?"

After hearing this, Chief of General Staff Miao Peinan asked with reluctance.

"I can't trust them, so I leave it to your combat staff. Therefore, the urban air defense issue will be left to your supervision! The safety of citizens and the safety of public products depends on your air defense capabilities!"

However, Commander Yu continued to hand over the issue of air defense to the combat staff without mercy, and said with a bright smile.

"..."

Chief of General Staff Miao Penan.

"..."

Chief of Staff Wang Jun.

"..."

All combat staff.

They feel as if they have become troublemakers.

As a result, all the combat staff officers, including their leader, the Chief of General Staff, immediately had black lines on their faces and felt very unhappy.

But since this was the commander-in-chief's order, they could only carry it out. They had no choice but to object.

Soon, all the combat staff immediately implemented the new air defense issues. As for the officers of those troops, they immediately followed Commander Yu's next order and immediately dispatched troops and generals to increase the number of troops in the city to protect the city.

The city is safe.

Of course, these officers and their commanders also never expected that the Japanese army would not directly attack the urban area, but conduct combat landings in remote seaside areas.

Therefore, all the air defense preparations and pre-war preparations they made now were still unable to stop the menacing sneak attack and landing operations of the newly formed 21st Group Army of the Japanese army.

And just as Commander Yu was commanding his large forces and deploying additional troops to defend the city,

In the homeland of the Japanese army, the newly formed 21st Army also had the commander-in-chief of the Japanese army, Furushuo Qianro, and the future second commander, Ando Rikichi, as well as the division commander of the 18th Division, Lieutenant General Nagano Seiichi, and

Under the command of Commander-in-Chief of the Navy's 5th Fleet Yuki Shiozawa and other senior Japanese generals, boardings were carried out one after another.
