Just after the battle in Yangcheng started, Liu Feiyang's aircraft group was bombing the Japanese 21st Army, causing all the Japanese high-ranking officers to be bombed. They were furious, but they had no choice but to do anything.

At this moment, the Japanese Botian detachment in Wuhan and other places successively occupied Gedian and prepared to attack Wuchang.

The Japanese 9th Division had captured Hesheng Bridge and cut off the Guangdong-Han Line.

The Japanese 27th Division also cooperated with the 9th Division to advance towards the Guangdong-Han line, preparing to occupy Taolin Town.

The Japanese 6th Division is preparing to occupy Hankou, and the Japanese 116th Division and the 6th Division are each preparing to occupy Hanyang.

By now, Wuhan had been surrounded by Japanese troops from the east, south and north.

The division commander of the 3rd Division, Susumu Fujita, also led his special operations troops to accompany the rest of the divisions, General Hata Shunroku, the commander of the Central China Dispatch Army, and Higashikarimiya, the commander of the 2nd Army.

With the assistance of King Minuhiko and the troops of Neiji Okamura, commander of the 11th Group Army, troops were about to approach the city in the outer areas of the three towns of Wuhan.

For a time, the Battle of Wuhan suddenly entered a relatively tense and fierce combat stage.

This result has a lot to do with the sudden addition of the special operations force led by Susumu Fujita, the commander of the 3rd Division, and the attack of the elite aviation force commanded by Yamamoto Isoroku.

Because after these two special teams joined the battle, the Japanese army's combat effectiveness became much stronger, and they defeated many national army troops who tenaciously resisted the Japanese attack.

In order to preserve military strength for the long-term war of resistance, the Nationalist Army is also debating fiercely on whether to urgently order the abandonment of Wuhan and prepare all remaining troops from the Wuhan Battle to evacuate Wuhan and move to Changsha, Guinan, Chongqing and other places.

Make the transfer.

At this time, a large number of ships belonging to the headquarters have sailed to the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, and can quickly pick up and drop off the Chairman and most of the National Army troops from all aspects at any time. Of course, for this fierce issue,

There are still a small number of troops who need to cut off the rear, or fight to the end and fight to the last soldier.

However, regardless of whether they continue to fight and hold on, or give up, civil servants of the national army and many citizens have now been gradually approved to evacuate.

Even the last batch of public officials and citizens who are willing to follow the evacuation are ready to wait for the brisk small steamer named "Jiang Xing Lun" dispatched by the Shipping Headquarters to evacuate at night.

Wuhan.

But this time, when these public officials and citizens who were willing to evacuate were evacuating, the Chairman, as the supreme commander of the national army, did not immediately choose to evacuate Wuhan.

Regarding the Chairman's bold behavior, many high-ranking generals who were directly from his immediate family were very anxious.

Especially at this moment, when the Japanese army was about to approach the major cities in the suburbs of Hankou under the city, the Supreme Council Chairman really chose the last batch of people to evacuate.

But for the Supreme Council Chairman's insistent decision, the three of them, Lin Wei, the director of the attendant's office who stayed to protect him, and another director Chen Buili, as well as Wang Shi and the chief of guards who had been following him.

They are all anxious and worried.

Especially beside the chairman is his wife, who has always followed him.

Regarding the choice of these two important people to command the troops, Lin Wei, the director of the attendant's office, Wang, the captain of the guard, and Chen Builei all felt sad and heartbroken. They even wanted to take the risk of being punished and kill this committee member.

The elders used hard methods on them, taking them away first and then scolding and punishing them.

In short, as long as the Chairman and others can get on the plane safely, evacuate Wuhan quickly, and avoid the risk and terrible consequences of the Japanese army's attack, any kind of punishment can be accepted.

Otherwise, once the Japanese army attacked Hankou, they would have no chance to escape even if they really wanted to.

Especially if the airport is bombed and destroyed again by the Japanese troops, it will be even more impossible to escape.

However, the Chairman turned a blind eye to the worried concerns of these attendant directors, and began to explain and educate them: "Now the War of Resistance is about to enter a new critical period, so as the supreme commander of the army, I

We must set the best example for the troops; stick with them to the end, stick to the last moment of this battle, and use the morale of all the officers and soldiers of the troops to continue the unified resistance against Japan."

...

........

However, under such passionate and exciting education from the chairman, the captain of the guard Wang, as well as the director of the attendant's office Lin Wei, and Chen Brai suddenly looked helpless and entangled;

Especially when they saw Commander Bai and a few other high-ranking generals, who seemed to want to take advantage of the excitement to stay behind and accompany the Chairman to perform a heroic act, they almost wanted to cry and kneel on the ground.

, begging these senior people to get on the plane immediately and evacuate Wuhan.

But no matter how these guards begged and begged, the chairman of the committee was determined to stick to it until the last moment.

...

........

"No! Entrust! Something bad has happened! The Yangcheng side has been completely occupied! The Japanese army has entered Yangcheng and occupied the entire Yangcheng!"

"Commander Yu's troops have also evacuated from Yangcheng. Now that side has lost the control of our troops. This is the latest report sent by Commander Yu and a request for next combat instructions!"

“Please take a look at it!!”

However, after Bai Ban's persuasion by the director of bodyguards failed, communications officer Zhao Feiwen, with his head covered in cold sweat and a panicked look, hurried in to make an urgent report.

Hearing this, the Chairman, who had just insisted on leaving at the last moment, was immediately alarmed.

"What! Yangcheng has completely fallen? So quickly?"

"How many days have the Japanese troops been attacking? Doesn't Commander Yu still have more than 80,000 troops?"

"How could he be so useless and be defeated by the Japanese army in such a short period of time?"

"How on earth did he fight?"

Then the chairman of the committee quickly took over the urgent encrypted telegram and read it, while cursing with an expression of disbelief on his face.

Because he couldn't imagine what was going on, which allowed an 80,000-strong army to be defeated by the Japanese army in such a short period of time, and to fully occupy the important cities in the south. Such a speed of fall

It was too much beyond his expectation, so he panicked.

Bai Chongxi, who had not spoken much, was also curiously observing the Chairman's expression while reading the telegram.

"Niang Xipi! Commander Yu is such a coward! The Japanese army actually completely occupied Yangcheng and all nearby cities in such a short period of time!"

"He pissed me off!"

When the Chairman read the telegram, he immediately became furious and roared.

"If Yangcheng is lost, what's the use of holding on to Wuhan? Isn't this an opportunity for the Japanese army to encircle and suppress us?"

"Damn it! All my battle plans are gone!"

However, after being furious, the chairman felt deeply that he had no strength at all, and then sighed helplessly as he felt exhausted.

Then he closed his eyes gently.

"Withdraw! Let all the troops evacuate as soon as possible! I'm afraid we won't be able to hold on here for much longer!"

"In order not to be surrounded by the Japanese army and fight alone, we had no choice but to evacuate!"

Then after a while, the Chairman reluctantly sighed deeply, shook his head and said.
Chapter completed!
